  • “My man cheat but I don’t put no dildo in his ass.” ([24:33])
• The team dissects lines about Cardi and Offset’s breakup, supposed new partner (Stefon Diggs), and Cardi’s ability to “make fans forget the drama, just with her music.”

Okay. I thought. Wait, did I say something again that's going to give me.

[B]

No, you just seem like you was like. It seemed like you had to go. Trust me, you fine.

[A]

Hey, Tanner.

[B]

Listen intently now. He came off like desperado walking down the street just now. What?

[A]

Okay. Thank God. Cuz we could do the rewind. We got that button. I don't even know what we've. Rewind.

[B]

There's nothing to rewind. You're fine. Okay. You're fine. We're going to get right to it. We're going to get right to the heart of the.

[C]

Right to the glazing.

[B]

New music.

[A]

Yes. New music. Did everyone here hear New Cardi twice?

[D]

Yes.

[A]

Twice. New Cardi B. New Cardi B.

[C]

Stayed up late. Stayed up late to.

[A]

I did.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

One of the only albums that dropped last night. Night. I'm too old to stay up anymore. So I go to bed and wake up at 2:00am and oh, okay. Buy him and then give it a listen and then go back to bed. So I heard it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What does everyone think? Come on, let's go.

[B]

Let's go, let's go.

[A]

I like it.

[C]

I like it.

[B]

I like Cardi album a lot.

[C]

It's. I think it's a very solid follow up.

[A]

Yes, it is.

[D]

Especially waiting for some like that. She snapped. She did good.

[B]

She did.

[C]

She did.

[B]

She did.

[C]

She did.

[D]

And she was under a lot of pressure.

[B]

I was a little nervous.

[C]

Me too.

[B]

When I overall I would give it a really good grade. I don't know what yet because I want to hear it a few more times.

[C]

Same.

[B]

But I will say it felt forest to me though.

[C]

Four out of five.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

It felt. So many bangers on there. Like it's too many.

[B]

I got an 8 out of 10.

[C]

I have some nitpicks that we'll get into, but it's knit little.

[A]

I have small critiques as well that.

[B]

We'Ll get to, but it Got better to me, though, is what I was gonna say. It just got better.

[D]

Like, I thought, like, better and better.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Like, a lot of times the second half be like.

[D]

Like, man, it was better.

[B]

It was opposite. I actually like the album more the second half. I give it 8 out of 10.

[D]

The samples, she did a lot. She snapped. She snapped.

[A]

I am going to play a lot of the songs that I with. I'm going to start with the intro, which is Dead featuring Summer Walker.

[C]

What a way to start.

[A]

Turn this down a little bit with this intro. I have cardi now 2. 2 for 2 on. Just amazing intros. Amazing way to start your project. Y' all know how big of a Summer Walker fan I am. This is great. She getting a bag early. Early and from the start.

[C]

High production value throughout the album.

[A]

Album, really high production value. Big samples, big features.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Big writers. It sounds like this is. Without me reading the credits.

[C]

It wasn't too many big name producers on here.

[A]

No, no.

[C]

London, I think, might be the only one that I've seen so far. Sometimes with these big albums, the credits don't all materialize off Rip, but.

[A]

I.

[D]

Don'T think these know.

[A]

Oh, my God. Listen, yo, I'm gonna stop this real quick. I'll stop it in between here and there. See, that's the problem with women empowerment. When you get a bunch of them together that's been cheated on and they just talk and, like, support each other, it get. It does get dark for us, the city boys. And I'm not a city boy, but it does get a little dark. If you would tell Summer Walker, yo, I need you to come sing on this intro real quick while I'm getting my shit off. All right? What is. What's it about? And then they get to talking. I think most of the features on here have been cheated on, but, I.

[D]

Mean, everybody's been cheated on.

[A]

Yeah. Some publicly, right? Some not so publicly.

[B]

Some wasted up.

[A]

So you can at least deny it and have your dick Nigga.

[F]

Can'T compete with me. I'm not the one I tell host to stop my dick they put their hair up in a bun let these see I should have left these hoes with none never smarter be for me what can I say? These hoes be dumb, die young look, the waterfall put my toes in.

[D]

Getting.

[F]

Belt when we go in the store don't touch nothing you complain or you getting belt? I tried 300 years last year and like those tears that ran down my cheek, yo, but I be salty as girl Guess who dropped a Thousand times and none of it's working.

[B]

Guess who.

[F]

It's so damn free and Pocket's hurting.

[A]

Listen, a lot of shots from Cardi B on this project.

[C]

Yeah, she let some people have it.

[A]

A lot of shots from Cardi B. Later we'll get to the BIA and.

[B]

The JT disses, but yes, she body both of them. Them.

[A]

I don't see anybody addressing this. She got right to it. Somebody's getting belt to ass.

[F]

When we in person.

[B]

Who you did that to?

[A]

I'm not saying, but sound like somebody's getting belt to ass. Yo, dawg, not right now. We glazing. I'm glazing right now. I don't have time for this. I'm not saying who I think this is to, but I think she's talking to somebody. I'm not about to be part of the reason why bitches start shooting at each other. But I mean, I guess the first thing I have to say is album title. Am I the drama I came away with?

[C]

Bitch? Yes, for sure.

[A]

No question. Yes, you are. All of it. Most of it.

[C]

It.

[A]

Most of the reasons.

[C]

And you like it.

[A]

You love it.

[C]

Word.

[B]

I love it. Bronx, New York, we come out shooting, man. That's it. Anybody can get it. I love it. I. It's gonna take me a while to see what you're talking about there. I don't know who.

[A]

I'm bringing that back a little bit.

[B]

Yeah, bring it back.

[A]

Her disses on this project were kind of like lethal a little bit.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't think it's.

[B]

She killed beer.

[A]

I thought. I thought that JT had it the worst.

[C]

Oh, JT had it pretty bad.

[B]

I thought JT had it matched.

[D]

She went out, man. So it was a lot.

[A]

It was a lot. She told.

[B]

She said that. She told bags.

[A]

She said, yo, you share bags with your.

[B]

And I don't put a dildo.

[A]

She said, your mother don't want you. You Brenda had a baby ass, bitch.

[B]

She went crazy.

[A]

You don't say that to nobody. She said, my be cheating, but you be putting a dildo in your dude's ass.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

See, and this is why you can't play with chicks, especially Bronx chicks at all. They about to just say whatever before they shoot you, because they'll shoot you too.

[B]

You see how the Bronx after the bronze, but it's the Bronx.

[A]

Nah, Cardi, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not gonna hold you. I don't have this project being in as great as her last project.

[C]

No, that's a hard thing to. But follow up. But it's solid, though.

[B]

It's a solid follow up.

[A]

This is really, really hard.

[C]

They call sophomore slump a lot of. You know, it's hard to follow up a. A debut.

[D]

But this ain't that.

[C]

This ain't a slump. Yeah, it might not be as good as the first, but it ain't.

[A]

No, this is the opposite of a slump.

[B]

No, it's really.

[A]

It slaps all through this.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Even if, you know. Even if you know. Well, we'll get into that later. Back to music.

[F]

Purses. I don't even rap no more. I drive hearses. Got some nerve. And then be nervous.

[A]

Oh, my Lord.

[F]

Don't tell me. Tell customer service. Not for nothing on that business. If you get money and you cute, then bab you basically my twin.

[A]

I'm cutting this off. I thought she smoked the intro. Track two. Hello. More the same for me. More the same for me. This is hard.

[C]

This is cool.

[A]

I didn't say my favorite. Yeah, but this.

[B]

This is where I got literally track 2, 3, 4. I was a little bit like, all right, this is going to be a good album or a great album. I wasn't sure.

[C]

I like track two.

[A]

I was happy. Hello. But again. And I feel like she really hit her core audience, which is girls that got cheated on, girls that met a new rich after they got cheated on. What? I think she cheated on a lot of the nightlife. Strip club.

[E]

No, she did.

[A]

And niggas. That's birds.

[C]

I think she covered.

[E]

What do you think her core audience is now, nowadays?

[C]

She's got a big core.

[E]

Yeah, she has a very big fan base.

[A]

Yeah, it's women. It's. It's. It's.

[C]

Yeah, for sure.

[A]

It's women centric. It's women that are in fashion. It's women that are in her tax bracket. It's women that are in. She's in. She's in a different club.

[E]

She's going cardi.

[A]

Cardi is. It's different. I just don't think it's like on the first album it was boxed for. I feel like.

[C]

Yeah, there's some of that on here. I think later in the album especially, it gets a little bit more street, I guess, for lack of a better term, a little more hard.

[A]

Well, she hit. She. She don't. She don't. Part of why I love her. She didn't alienate from her. There's a lot of strip club joints on here.

[C]

Yeah, there is, but there's like the. The Selena Gomez record. And the Lizzo records are pretty pop friendly. Like, I think she covered a lot of bases.

[A]

She did.

[D]

Yeah, she did.

[B]

And that Janet feature was just what I said it was going to be.

[A]

Yeah, it was.

[C]

I thought the wet out, but yeah.

[D]

It'S good because she pushed it that hard. So if it would have sucked it because, oh, they doing a lot of. She had bodegas, car, she had bodega. She doing all this. She. All that stuff she did to push this album. You never. You haven't seen people do that type of. In years.

[E]

She went from the bodega to G King.

[D]

Like, she snapped. She.

[B]

She did everything.

[E]

Like, I'm trying to cover all my bases.

[D]

She did a little sprinkle sprinkle.

[E]

And she's a. She's a mega star, dog. So you don't necessarily, necessarily see them hitting all those spots. Like, no disrespect to Pusha T and Malice, but they had to, you know, I mean, kind of grassrooted a little bit. She don't have to do that.

[C]

They did what?

[E]

They did it anyway.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

You know what I'm saying? So I. I props to that. She had a pop out in the Bronx last week.

[D]

Yeah. Her was exciting. Like, what's she gonna do next?

[A]

That's one of the first things that popped out on this album to me. Again. I haven't kept. Kept up with. With all of her appearances, but on this album, very early on, you just reminded of how likable Cardi is.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Her personality jumps out like, she's warm, she's lovable. She's gonna reel you in.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

She's been dissing me for two months. And by track three, I was like.

[B]

You forgot about it.

[A]

It didn't matter.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's not even important.

[B]

True.

[A]

Because we just waiting for the music. This album. It's funny, right? You've been waiting on the music. If you were sitting on some of this, it's almost like, why did you drop imaginary players?

[B]

That was my question.

[A]

If you've been sitting on some of this heat, why have you been quiet?

[C]

Yeah, I would. I would have went with, damn, what's this?

[A]

It's mad songs on it.

[C]

There's a couple that, like Earth Time Trophy Trophies would have been a dope single. There's a bunch of that. I probably would have picked the singles.

[A]

But what I. Whatever. I do want to get into airtime. That's crazy.

[C]

It is.

[A]

This is crazy. What I'm telling y' all is I had no plans to go anywhere Tonight I was just going to watch a little movie.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And call it a day. Friday we got. I got to be in the gym in the morning. That wasn't when I finished listening to this album. I know how it's going to resonate to The New York DJs.

[C]

New York strip clubs especially.

[A]

I can't speak for anywhere else but Cardi come from this. She didn't alienate this.

[C]

We have to go to your spot.

[A]

Today and it's going to resonate. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

There's going to be a. All of these slaps are coming on tonight. They all. They all coming on tonight and it's going to be nuts. That's craziness. Real.

[B]

How the was this not out before Outside.

[A]

Right?

[E]

Nah, yo, I. I think. I think she did it right.

[D]

I think so too.

[E]

I think we're going to give them.

[B]

We heard this too much. We'd be having a different conversation about this album.

[C]

You think she was trying to do.

[B]

Okie doke play possum?

[A]

She did a Okie doke.

[E]

I think she gave somebody something different because we are accustomed to kind of hearing boppity Bob stripper type shit.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

I think she wanted to throw something different to the crowd. That's what I think.

[A]

Listen. And I think that Outside should be on this project.

[B]

Me too.

[A]

I think Outside would do nothing but help. And it goes with the nightlife records that are on.

[E]

It's in line with it.

[B]

I'm talking about the lead single. I'm just saying I would have wish. I wish I had heard this a month ago. I wish this would have been one of the things that came out before the album. Facts.

[A]

But the songs that's on here, she could have really. Really. You just gotta assume she's been going through a lot. I've been pregnant, my divorce. I met a new. I'm running around and I'm Spanish. So you know, I'm following him around everywhere.

[C]

I also anticipate a lot of post release rollout. Especially being the fact congratulations, Cardi, she's pregnant.

[A]

Congratulations.

[C]

I think they're gonna be doing a.

[A]

Lot of rollout videos. Let's hit the round of applause.

[D]

Congrats.

[A]

I am gonna give. Get into some tea later but round of applause for now.

[C]

I think with that information I can see what they might be trying to do is like yeah, we'll put out some. That's dope. But we'll save the big records for after this comes out and drag this project out for a year. Half a year. I don't give her that time.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

That's what I think. I don't think the building is mad at all.

[A]

I still got the label doing her a huge disservice. This explains some of the strife to me. Because if I'm her and I'm sitting on this oh, you type. And when I go up there, this should be no misunderstanding. Cardi and some of these records. For me, this is the tale of two halves. I think she's out of here. To the Mars on the second half of this project. No way. You sitting on some of those records and it be silence or any misunderstanding from other. That shouldn't exist.

[C]

Interesting. I could see how the label.

[A]

I still don't think the label have really raised the hand and shit. I think everything has been Cardi and her star power. Yeah.

[E]

And my relationships. And I'm moving around. And if y' all don't want to give me the proper push, I got enough relationships where I could push this myself.

[B]

I'm gonna show you guys. You get what I'm saying?

[E]

Like, that's.

[C]

I can see why a label or an executive producer or an A and R might have wanted a more complete tale. And I guess that's one of the nitpicks I can get into. Now is the second half. While I like it, it's a little bit more like gutter. It feels like towards the end, the story didn't really get wrapped up. It felt like she was just kind of throwing some singles on there. Like it starts with some hard record she's going at.

[A]

Ah.

[C]

Then she goes into the relationship in the middle. Then she goes to the street. Harsh. At the end. Typically at the very end, you would bring it full circle with something that kind of brings it all together.

[A]

And it didn't.

[C]

It ends on. What's the record called?

[B]

Killing.

[C]

Killing you Hoes. I mean, it's up and Wap is on there too.

[A]

And all the hoes was dead by then.

[C]

They were already.

[A]

Yeah, every hoe was already dead before Killing you Hoes came on.

[C]

Like you would have thought you would have got something to tie it all together at the end. So that kind of tells me type of maybe, maybe. Or how the future might look for you.

[B]

Something.

[C]

A story. It's not really a story.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

So I could see why they might be like, it's almost there. It's almost. It's almost there. It's almost there. And they kind of ran out of time, so they dropped it.

[A]

Are you. Are you more pleased if she puts this record Closer to the end. This, which is one of my favorite songs on here, dog. Oh, my God. This is nuts.

[C]

It could be some sequencing things, too.

[B]

This is crazy to me. Was a big.

[A]

Because this record, if it came in the right place, is explaining. Oh, no, I'm cocking that back. Soon as this came on. Hey, rappers out there that rap over this. This note, this little. You already knew what this was. And what a sample flip. Yeah, you always wanted to rap over this. Oh, this is out of here, man. I'm telling you that. This is the sleeper strip club. I invite some joints over. I'm taking a drive. I'm telling you. Take my word for it. But this is her. I love Stefan Diggs.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Hey, N. This is track what, 15? Yeah, yeah, 15. This is so fire. I don't know what writing camp came up with this one, but. Yeah, came with it. Yeah. All right, insert cardi. Let's go.

[F]

For me, popping up, orange bags out the bottom. You for me. You know, the SC Me. You always cut two for me. That's the reason that I knew that it was you for me. I be staring in your eyes through the whole day. I swear to God, I hope my kids have your whole face.

[A]

See, now, that's what you're not about to do. That's what you not. That's what's not about to happen. Wow. You're not going to have a baby with me last year and then got a new baby coming and talk about how beautiful your new baby daddy is and how you wish the baby had his whole face. Like my whole face ain't good enough. Do y' all hear this woman? If there's one person that should not rush to listen to this project. Friend of the show.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

It's Offset. And that's why it sucks to be a guy.

[C]

Big freeze.

[A]

Cause Offset, big freeze in the building.

[E]

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.

[B]

You got the iPhone. Did you get the new joint, the Max Pro, bro? Yeah, we said. We said. Yes. That's what we said.

[A]

Offset came up here with all that. Too cool for school. Mature, manly, the right thing to do, which is.

[C]

And dropped an amazing project.

[A]

Really great project. But he was like, I'm not getting into all of that. I'll address it once. But my kids got to grow up, see that on the Internet. I'm not with that. I'm a man. He got in all that. Hey, guess what, buddy? He walked it back, too. Guess who don't subscribe to that. Your ex wife or Wife. I don't know what the situation is. You knew she was gonna give us the tea.

[E]

He walked it back. Very next interview, after hours, he was like, yo, I'm still hurt. I try to act like I'm not. He walked all that cool. He said, up here.

[A]

I'm not gonna be on.

[E]

He was up here on some vulnerable man.

[A]

Ain't vulnerable enough after. After you hear this album. He on there talking about, I'm out. Cause you ain't cook for me. No, she's telling me, hey, she's letting us know what happened in detail.

[B]

Yeah, she aired him out chronologically. Yeah, she got her shit.

[A]

And you on there talking about. She on it. No, no, she on there talking about, I want to go to the bathroom with my new nigga and hold his dick up to pee.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

No, you can't do that.

[D]

Exactly.

[A]

My. No. That's why none of my exes could rap. I don't know if any of y' all exes could rap. This would be unacceptable. I mean, Sin is doing some Spanish music, but I don't understand that.

[B]

Hold up. We don't get that. But they got baddies.

[E]

We don't put a record out.

[A]

Crazy. What you say.

[E]

Some of your. You know.

[A]

Come on, man. Come on.

[B]

They ain't hit like that, right?

[A]

Be respectful, man. We talking about musicians.

[B]

Free. They a hit like that.

[A]

Free. Not. Not them. And Cisco. Yo.

[B]

We not talking about Drew Hill. Cisco.

[A]

Cisco, my man. But it was a few phases in life where he thought we was battling for, and we wasn't. Oh.

[C]

Anyway.

[A]

That out with you. What up? I just did that messy bit and he was late back to this. Where was I? Where was I? Offer on my back. Y' all want to get into some of these disses? Yeah, let's get into some of the disses, man.

[B]

When the last Hold. When the last time they seen each other? When it's all smiling face. They haven't seen each other since the joint.

[A]

I'm telling you, she's talking to Nicki Minaj. She's talking to Nicki Minaj. So I'm telling you loud and clear, very clear.

[B]

In the.

[A]

In the first song where she's saying, okay, that's.

[D]

That's.

[A]

You're doing shows for free. You doing whatever she was saying.

[C]

Ain't nobody else to 300.

[A]

That's who she was shooting at there.

[D]

Okay?

[A]

I don't want no beef, nor am I perpetuating beef between two superstar.

[D]

He didn't jump right out to me for some reason, but the jt, well.

[A]

That'S why we here. That's why we here.

[D]

Thank you. Appreciate it.

[B]

The real trap, Selena.

[A]

This is a problem right here, though.

[B]

Yo, this a problem.

[A]

There's a lot of joints on here. That's going to be a problem.

[F]

Face pretty. I know I could probably win a pedant, baby they say I' ma check if I be feeling like a magnet baby I'm just young and ratchet, baby Love it when you smack it, baby if it ain't my money, cut it.

[A]

Short 20 brown stupid ass out there talking about how you end up with Lube in his bag at the strip club.

[B]

Nigga, you hear the record?

[A]

Nigga, you hear this record?

[B]

You know what they doing to that?

[A]

Some records, man. Let's get right to the diss. Let me get right to. To the dish.

[B]

Let's go free down ass.

[A]

That's hard. That's hard. That's hard. But I don't like that. I still feel like Karisha started with jt. Karisha got with fucking her rich nigga and started acting different to jt. I ain't gonna let you just rewrite history, but this is hard.

[E]

But she got a point still you. You ain't say nothing at that point. You said it kicking her while she down. That's all she's saying.

[A]

But you was up first, right? Cool. But nah, she shot.

[E]

You waited until she was down to shoot back. That's all she's saying.

[A]

No, no, no, no. You was up first. You was up first doing the shooting.

[E]

I'mma shoot when you up there, there.

[A]

And then you just so happened to fall off. Yeah, and I was ready and I'm ready to go. I'm waiting for the fall off.

[D]

The Internet remembers it backwards, though.

[A]

What you say?

[D]

I think a lot of the Internet has it backwards. So this won't go like, yeah, yeah, this is.

[A]

It don't even matter what the truth is. That line is going to go. This record going to go.

[F]

You've been trash since Bird Worth.

[B]

Oh, Brenda.

[D]

Saying that, that's like thing.

[E]

You know what I mean?

[D]

Who knows if she just saying that or is that a thing like in my.

[A]

It don't matter.

[D]

No, it does matter. If it's known like your mother didn't raise you or your mom didn't help with you and you say that, that'll make a come see you. That's crazy.

[A]

My memory is bad but I I think that comes from some somewhere.

[D]

All I know is Karisha mom did time. I don't know nothing about JT mom but that's strange too cuz even though Karisha mom did time when she came home she was with them. You never really like hear about the other one mom. So I don't know.

[A]

Yo it don't matter if her mom was the best mom.

[B]

It don't matter trash can cuz if.

[E]

It'S cuz if it's accurate it hits.

[D]

Way hard, way harder.

[A]

I that's just what's It's a dope line regardless.

[B]

But if it's true mad when l is dope.

[A]

I agree with you.

[C]

But if it is true then it's.

[E]

Yeah, it's a body shot.

[A]

I almost feel like JT came up here and talked about whatever that is that we trying to figure out is real or not. I think she did that right up here.

[D]

Damn.

[A]

I think there may be something to that. No, I don't want to be a messy so I ain't getting into it. But the line itself hard. Whoever is writing these lines party wrote.

[C]

A lot of it I'm not sure about. Let me get the credits is right here. I'm going to look that hard.

[A]

He is smoking.

[C]

She's on here. Yeah, Tori I think wrote some as well. Shout out to Tori.

[A]

Your mother didn't want you. Brenda got a baby ass. See you can't play with these Bronx yo at all or party.

[F]

Still ain't get no feature ass bitch.

[B]

My man cheap but I don't stick no dildos in his ass and it's not true.

[A]

I ain't going to lie to y'. All. Cardi has been home for years coming up with rebuttals for you that say your been cheating on you. Yeah your been cheating your be in my DMs. Your called me your was on me. Cardi has been home just coming up with fly to say back to the that say that I heard how do you say this?

[E]

Y' all say and I'm on y' all ass.

[B]

Yep. Literally right like look they've been pulling.

[E]

All the tweet up I'm on y' all ass on my album get my.

[A]

Lick back she JT up my cheap but I don't put no dildo in his ass.

[D]

And that's the part of the fight you be like get off or get off.

[E]

You gonna drop the beat out. Drop the beat right there.

[A]

I want to commend whoever Figured out out whoever came up with where to drop the beat on this album. Yeah, y' all dropped it in all the right spots.

[C]

The production. The production of this album. Like, I didn't really necessarily like super love any beat in particular, but the production. Production is more than just beats. Production is. Does the hook go here? Do the drops go here? Who should be on the hook? Vocal inflection, all that. And they went absolutely crazy.

[D]

Nailed it, guys.

[C]

This was high, high production value.

[D]

Great album throughout.

[A]

Oh, she bugging said that you just started getting. You just started getting dressed. Yo, and I'm a friend. JT is a friend of the show.

[B]

For sure.

[A]

For sure.

[E]

We love jt.

[C]

[D]

Everybody being corny. Yeah, Bean is corny. She said be a breath. Stink. It look like it stink. My bad. Don't do that. Come on.

[E]

Yo, we dropped the Beat on YouTube.

[D]

Yeah, Beat is corny.

[A]

I like beer.

[C]

Me too.

[A]

Wait, you don't.

[B]

Do you think she can rap?

[D]

I thought so, but that dis, like, just threw me off. Where? Cuz I was, like, expecting something. I like that.

[A]

This was terrible.

[D]

It was so bad. Like, can't she rap like this? This the moment.

[E]

But she can rap. Maybe dissing just ain't her thing. Some people, you know, that they step out of their way.

[A]

I told y' all when she did that that she needed to leave that tree alone because it'll fall down.

[E]

Yes.

[A]

And y' all was like, oh, no, no, no. I don't know know. You don't know.

[E]

She can rap.

[D]

And I think it affected her negatively, too. People clown her just laughed at her from the jump.

[A]

Like, it's not about it. She could rap and she could do a disregard. I didn't hate it either. But Cardi is different.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, I mean, like, if she put. If she back to putting music out and her writers, what they come up with the beats that they find, how she going to deliver it? What she's saying with her star power hurts an upand cominging act.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Whether you. Your rapping is. Yes. Not enough. She should not be talking to be like that. That's craziness.

[C]

We'll get to that record in a minute.

[A]

Yeah, let's do it.

[B]

That's my favorite one. That's my favorite.

[A]

Let's do it.

[B]

The dis records. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, I. Pretty and petty. Oh, my.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, man.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Great title. I was.

[E]

When I first came on, I was.

[C]

Tempted to go Right to that one. But I. I listen.

[E]

I hated this beat. As soon as it dropped. I was like, oh, God. I started listening to it. I was like, oh.

[A]

This is crazy. There's nothing to hate about this. Petty as I like to be, I.

[C]

Don'T love to be.

[A]

This is, this is coming on tonight. Right there, right there.

[B]

I was good. Right there.

[E]

[B]

[E]

[D]

We're done.

[E]

She could have dropped that number.

[A]

Right, right.

[B]

She said three and I'd have been dead.

[E]

She shot high with five.

[D]

We're goners.

[A]

Yo. Something is wrong with y'. All. It's the truth. Oh, my God. Where the is this song? All right, drop the beat out.

[F]

[D]

[A]

Y.

[D]

She called you a puppy.

[C]

No, no, she called you big dog.

[E]

Disrespectful. Disrespectful be.

[A]

It didn't deserve this, man.

[C]

She got a whole second verse.

[E]

Be careful.

[D]

Yeah, play it.

[B]

All bets is off.

[A]

We talk. But you did still already.

[B]

So once you mention the kids, all bets.

[A]

I don't think B should have said nothing about it.

[E]

Hey, yo, look. All right, so now you whatever if somebody punch you in your face, right?

[B]

That's his favorite example.

[E]

No, if somebody punch you in your face and you don't feel like you really got them, right. Next time I see you, nigga, I'mma get you again. Yo, look, we just. I feel like we just, just right.

[B]

We shouldn't be.

[E]

[A]

What?

[D]

I'm dead serious. Get God on them.

[B]

That's true.

[D]

First you do the little Twitter. Little verses on Twitter. Then you drop the song. Everybody feeling it, you know what I mean?

[A]

Can't even play like that. One check, please. One check, please. Cardi. Cardi. Said they say Red Bull give you wings. So does Cardi B. Like she rapping on it.

[F]

Best.

[A]

Is she cute?

[F]

Because she likes it. Talking about culture.

[A]

You wild.

[F]

Look, meatball, you Italian. I'm CR B. Shorty. Who you want to be shorty? You from Boston. Let's have a little tea party.

They really be fake.

[B]

Let's have a little tea party.

[C]

[F]

Why you always at diddy house?

[D]

It's that little kitty out.

[E]

Oh, boy. I heard they combed that little kitty out.

[A]

Yo, nigga should leave this girl alone, yo.

[B]

Just leave her the fuck alone.

[E]

Leave her alone.

[A]

Yo, listen, it's better for the world when she just is sensitive on one spaces. Just talking. If she get in the booth with motherfucking some buffalo wild wings and her writing staff like a food budget. They in there ordering and food too. They having a good time with a.

[D]

Beer and a port.

[A]

Yeah. N. Oh no. Is smoking in there. Cheesecake. It's some gang members in, yo.

[D]

Beer in the pork.

[A]

No, they in there having a good time.

[E]

They high fiveing in that. Yo, that's. I don't give a who write it. I don't care who writes it. She delivers that different level of execution, fam. She ride beats paws better than most male rappers.

[C]

That's true.

[D]

Her.

[E]

Her flow is crazy.

[C]

It is.

[A]

They played this for every person that walked in the studio that night.

[B]

Is crazy.

[A]

It just sounds like, you know how women, you know, you know, women are investigative. Right, Right. Yeah. It just sound like for the last seven years.

[E]

I'm just compiling. I'm just compiling. Anybody that you. I'm yo, bad breath.

[B]

You say my.

[E]

I'm on some Kendrick. Just compiling data, waiting for the day that you put your hands up and I know all your moves and I'mma.

[A]

Beat the out your diarrhea beer breath so stink.

[E]

You smile before they see you.

[B]

Right? It don't even got to be true. That's all I've been thinking about.

[E]

No, the funny part is are still Cardi. So.

[A]

Hey, hey, that is cool.

[E]

She's so charismatic. You can like yo. The lady said, yo. How you know she bigger than you? She like court, yo.

[A]

She in court.

[E]

Like I got eyes like you could see her. Say, man, Cardi from the hood and joked around. Yes, bro, you can hear it. She was at the lunch table cracking jokes. That's it.

[D]

This type of sticks with you when you think about it. Because it's always a small rumor. Remember when they said Meechi sons smell like armpits. People still say that. Yeah, like it doesn't. So this shitty thing will keep be a thing. You know what I mean?

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[D]

This is how you know it's true, though. You go through the comments. Somebody's going. Some hair stylist going to have a story. When I did her hair, they would.

[A]

Know if it's true.

[D]

But I'm telling you, she has the look of not. Just like I said, she was corny. She looked like a mustang. Look at her. Look at her.

[B]

That's a tough look.

[E]

Yeah, well.

[A]

And I ain't gonna say that about Lil Meech, but he don't be looking like Cologne.

[D]

Listen, that's why it went like that. Because he got a greasy look to him, bro. He look greasy.

[A]

I ain't about to start pointing out who look like they breasting who not. That's corny. But I know who look like cologne and who don't anymore. Enough of this, Enough of that. She's enough of that. Listen, all of these songs are coming on tonight. I love this.

[E]

You outside tonight.

[A]

I absolutely love this. I have no choice. I gotta go market research.

[E]

Yo, you can see the hip toss into this.

[C]

Of course.

[A]

Let's check the flow on this.

[F]

Y' all niggas ain't doing the numbers that my lash did. You hate on me?

[D]

You see her?

[F]

The last bitch did.

[B]

That's all I saw.

[F]

I got more money than the that you be.

[A]

Yo, she was talking this cash.

[C]

I'm mad that this one was like a minute long, bro. Short as hell.

[E]

When that is true. What you gonna say?

[A]

Yeah. Nothing.

[E]

I know. Leave her the alone. That's what you say. My bad. Are you for that.

[A]

Purse?

[E]

Not even. It's a half a purse.

[A]

A third of a purse.

[C]

Save the strap blurb.

[E]

What you gonna say?

[A]

But to even say this line, I would love to know her process with her ghost writers. Even that line sound like somebody that's been home just on some imma get you, I think.

[C]

I'm sure she probably comes in with what she wants.

[E]

Help me put this together, incorporate all of these factors.

[A]

Know them.

[E]

Oh, you with that one. That one.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

And I got champagne in the fridge. You know how I live. My crib look like the mall. The mall like the crib. The reason? Got deals for like the last few years.

[A]

What else?

[F]

You sound anything like Cardi B, sound right here. Ain't no other up here.

[A]

Let's go.

[F]

I need more money than Promise this year. Let's go get Big.

[D]

Big.

[A]

Tell them. Check, please. Whoever came off this hoe. Hard. That's hard. Check, please.

[B]

Check. Check.

[A]

Check is hard.

[B]

You know she can't wait this album.

[A]

Yeah, she did shut me up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

You talking a lot of trophies is.

[A]

And I can't even say that I'm talking. I'm talking because I can't say that. My problem's always been with the time, which is still my problem. This album also is so good that it scares me again for the time.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because it's a repeat. It's a repeat. You pregnant, you going on tour, your fourth child, you in love. This is. This is rinse, cycle. Repeat again for sure. So if I'm a fan, which I am the music fan, but that's where we got on the wrong. I would be afraid of when something else is coming.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

I have a feeling it won't be as long this time.

[A]

But Party might just be an album and feature act.

[E]

Yeah, but what's the problem with that.

[A]

If she drops eight years in between. No, no. People die every.

[E]

I'm with you with that one.

[A]

The.

[E]

The gap between album one and album two. Yeah, but now that she's dropped album two, and I mean, at least on my first couple listens.

[C]

Deliver.

[A]

Delivered. Delivered. Yeah, yeah. No, she delivered.

[E]

So. All right. Check.

[A]

Mark.

[E]

You get what I'm saying?

[B]

We.

[A]

We did that.

[E]

Now. I could feature y' all to death. I could single y' all to death. I don't necessarily have to rush back with album three right now.

[B]

Yeah. But I just don't want to be 40 when the next one come out, which it would be if we. If we waited the same gap. That's just a lot.

[A]

And she made too much money to have her just continue like this. She. Who knows she gonna be on this. She didn't give a about.

[E]

Absolutely.

[A]

So I'm just saying if I'm a fan and I want to hear music like this, which I am, because this is my bag. It hurts.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Even with the good music. Even with the good music records I didn't need. But I wasn't all the way mad at. I didn't need the Lizo big sample.

[D]

I love.

[C]

I think that record is going to be.

[A]

A single.

[B]

That's not like it. It's going to be one of big.

[A]

It's absolutely not for us, but not for me.

[E]

But I know that one's going to go. That's the same.

[D]

What is it a girl song?

[C]

I mean, it's just a very obvious 80s sample and it is a girl song. But I think it's going to be.

[D]

Because I like the original song.

[C]

I don't know.

[D]

I like it on. I liked how Lizzo was wanting to.

[B]

Yeah. I think this album was about four songs too long. Or.

[A]

I agree with you. I agree with you.

[D]

It's a little long word. It is. Hey. A little shorter.

[F]

What's going on? He stopped calling. Wasn't waking up to me in the morning.

[A]

She did her best over this.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm just done with this sample.

[C]

Oh, for sure. But this be the. That works. So I'm not mad at it. And Lizzo bodied it.

[D]

Not for nothing.

[F]

Anniversary gifts started lacking. What's going on? I never knew you didn't think about giving up too soon. When I open my mouth, this 24 was an easy dis.

[D]

He was eating his like.

[A]

Very predictable. That's out of here.

[C]

This is the Selena go.

[A]

That ain't out of nowhere.

[D]

Be the dj. Run that back.

[C]

This is the Selena Gomez.

[D]

He wasn't eating his like he used to.

[C]

What they for?

[A]

That's how it that far resonated with you.

[D]

What? Trauma. That's sign number one. Run that part back, Joe.

[C]

The Tyler record sounded like it was supposed to be real on it to me.

[A]

I could have done without that.

[C]

It wasn't great to me.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[E]

Again, not for me.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

And I'm okay with it. It's a lot of up there. That's for me for sure. I'll take that trade off.

[A]

This could have ended after trophies to me.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Nice guy Tyler know Killing you hoes. They all dead already. Like I said, I want to kill.

[C]

You hoes I didn't need.

[A]

And that.

[C]

That to me again, that was the part that was like, that's a fairly blah way to end an album. Even though up and wop are on there.

[B]

Yeah. I don't even count.

[A]

Don't count those.

[B]

I don't count even.

[E]

I'm not mad at them though.

[A]

I'm not mad. Still love them shits.

[C]

And I think that they have to be on here because in 10 years when you go, you like, damn, I want to hear wop wild. Was that on? If it's not on an album you a single song.

[E]

That was her reasoning. She was like, yo, they got it. They need a home.

[C]

Yeah. They got to be somewhere.

[E]

Not mad.

[A]

Let me give Mona a little line.

[F]

Think about giving up too soon. When I open my mouth, it's 2 4.

[D]

Eating his like him.

[A]

Girl, do you have that shared experience with her.

[D]

I don't want to get into it.

[A]

And do you believe that who knew how to eat just fell off and stopped? Or was they just not into your no more?

[D]

Yeah, not into your. Anymore. Nobody knows how to eat puss. That's like riding a bike.

[A]

Yeah, exactly.

[D]

Y' all know that? Y. Y. Yeah. I would hope you guys know that.

[A]

Yeah. Unless you got that clit that's high and they. What that's like tucked away. Some of the weird. Weird. That's when you got to get finger. You got to get.

[E]

No, you just. You got to open the envelope.

[D]

Yeah, I thought you want to say the ones that are real long ones and it feels like you sucking a dick.

[B]

Whoa, wait.

[A]

Your first. This your first day. The long eating has never felt like sucking a dick.

[D]

If you've seen.

[B]

You see them as two different things. Yo, watch your mom talking.

[A]

Here come Mr. Feminist.

[B]

No, no, I was asking you.

[A]

You said I see a penis and a. And a clitoris.

[B]

Doesn't feel like sucking a dick. So I was just asking you.

[A]

He said it like, they're totally different.

[B]

Yeah, they're very different fellas.

[C]

Trust me.

[A]

Different experience with both.

[B]

And that's not this. I got a blindfold. Test me. See, that's your man right there.

[E]

That's funny.

[A]

He don't give a.

[B]

No, he don't.

[A]

This crazy.

[B]

Sorry. He masking with like real. Like he'll ask you a question, but it's a dissident. Like, you gotta go play that back. I'm like, wait, did he just sneak a diss in there somewhere?

[D]

That's the artist. Shade.

[B]

Yeah, he master.

[A]

He's the.

[B]

He's the master of shade.

[C]

So wait, to. To maybe close this out out?

[B]

Yes.

[C]

How do you feel about the number projection that you made earlier?

[A]

I like it. Mine was between 150 and 200. I stand by that.

[E]

Oh, I totally.

[C]

250 to 275 for me now.

[E]

Well, once I saw the album, the songs are 69 cent and the album's $4. That's gonna just. Plus the bundles, I might double my number. Wait, this is gonna go crazy.

[A]

Is it four albums?

[E]

The album was 4.99 for the entire album. And each song is 69 cent. Now, I've never seen it before for that's a game.

[A]

And that's going to work.

[C]

I haven't fact checked it because I don't look for them for information, but I thought I saw that. Rolling Stone may have given this four and a half stars or whatever.

[B]

I Saw that as well. I've seen a lot of people give it four. I hate instant reviews, but me too. Pop crave. A lot of them were four and a half.

[A]

All right, so bump me to 180 to 225.

[B]

I. E. Mark was right when y' all was clowning them.

[C]

I was 225 before. I'm bumping up.

[B]

I want that 200 fans just go back and they'll do.

[C]

Mind you, she might hit 3.

[D]

Is cardi so big that even if it was corny, she still would have did well with all that work she did.

[A]

No, no, no. No way. No. If this was bad music, we would have seen the results of bad Cardi.

[B]

Bad, I think, is 125. Like, if this album was ass, she would still do numbers.

[D]

That's what I was thinking.

[C]

She was still kind of just off hype. She would get that.

[A]

The album being as good as it is, word of mouth is still the best form of.

[C]

Yeah, I might. It might go three.

[E]

It's going to go 300.

[A]

It might.

[E]

After they hear this review.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

From the Joe Button podcast, it's going to definitely push it even further.

[C]

The whites are going to see the roller stone four and a half.

[E]

And then she got music for other demos who are going to tap in interview. This is the thing, bro. She's personable.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Yo, dog, when she gets in front of a microphone, you be falling in love with her. Like, yo, she's funny. She reminds you of, like, your sister, your cousin, the wild one.

[B]

That be a.

[C]

She could be on whatever late night show is left.

[B]

All of that, right?

[A]

All of that.

[E]

All of whatever's left.

[D]

She deserves it. She worked hard. She deserves it. She worked hard, and it's good. She deserves it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

That go card.

[E]

She might do 350.

[A]

All right, relax. Here you go. Here y' all go. Hyping it up. 350, bro.

[E]

I think in combination with the quality of the album and all of the PR work that she's personally done done, it might not be outside of her reach.

[C]

I don't think you're wrong what y'.

[A]

All are saying about that Lizzo record, about how it's just gonna work anyway. I think that. I think that's the case for that. This. Yo, unfortunately, when The Spanish is DJing at the Strip club, you're going to hear this. Yeah, you're right. This gave me.

[B]

Run your game like that.

[E]

Shit.

[A]

Before we wrap up, Cardi, do we have anything to say about all of the things that happened prior to her album dropping? The announcement, the pregnancy announcement with Gayle, I loved.

[B]

If you're going to. If you feel the need to announce your pregnancy and you don't have to. No one has to. I thought the way she did it was dope. Choose your spots. Yeah, you choose your spots. She picked the right venue. Gayle said it for her, you know, and gave her the big congratulations. So it felt like genuine. Yeah, it felt genuine and dignified and exciting. And to me, that also brings in a whole other audience into her world. I thought it was well played and much better than Just responding on Twitter or just posting a baby. A baby bump or something like that. And she's had weeks of speculation that she could have responded to, even just coming off a Jennifer Hudson show or other. Other performances, things like that. But she picked the perfect spot to me, right? Months.

[A]

Congratulations. Congratulations to Cardi and Stefan Diggs. Go Gail King. There is nothing to say, right? Like, you shouldn't announce a baby until you're ready, until you get all the sonograms and until yada, yada, yada. So we got that part. But I mean, part of me does feel like she gaslit the shit out of some of us.

[E]

She did.

[C]

You specifically, is what she.

[A]

Which is funny because when I first said it, I said, if she's pregnant.

[E]

You said it.

[A]

Because I'm not with pulling people out of closets and out of their pregnancy announcement. But if. Then the label has to at least consider that. And that's the conversation I was trying to have. But anybody that said something of the sort, she kind of got tight at and was cursed person mouth. Which is different from what she said on Gayle King in all of her happiness and glory, which is. I wasn't hiding. I wasn't hiding my pregnancy. I just wasn't telling y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

I wasn't ready yet. Well, yeah, but when we were saying, hey, you're pregnant and who could the father be because of all this, we was getting cursed out.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

But you know what stuck out to me? Her parents don't know. She didn't tell.

[A]

Yeah, she said I didn't tell my parents.

[D]

Like, what the y'. All.

[B]

Like they found out on Gayle King. Yes.

[D]

She was gonna tell them before it aired. That's how she said it to Gail. Like she was going to make sure she tell them before it aired, but they don't know. And then Miguel said why? She was like, I'm scared of them.

[A]

Yeah, she said, I'm scared of my parents.

[B]

Well, I'm sure she's seen them, right?

[D]

I mean, she said they'd be looking.

[B]

That's what I was like. Cuz if we thought she was pregnant, I'm sure they did.

[A]

I'm not going to get into the mess that everybody's trying to get into with Stefan Diggs. It's not worth it to me. This should just be a happy time.

[B]

Agreed.

[A]

Just be a happy and easygoing time time, you know, now we got to do our part, which is not stress the lady. Not talk bad.

[D]

Not, you know, oh, that's nice.

[E]

And it might be like A weight off her shoulders. I ain't gotta hear that no more. Of course it is. Y' all can shut the up.

[D]

Pregnant. Yeah.

[A]

Gayle King talking about do your. What do your parents think you talking about? They think he cool.

[D]

It's shocking.

[A]

They like you.

[B]

Wow.

[D]

That's two. That's two. Two Pampers at the same time. Two car seats.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yep.

[E]

Two nannies.

[D]

I was shocked. I'm not gonna lie. I love Cardi like I love her. I was just surprised. And I legit like, cuz I was out that night before, like six hours before I saw it. I was arguing down like, no, she's not. Like I was holding it down like I really believed it. I honestly thought it was something like maybe like surgery. Something happened or, you know, how you heal differently or whatever. I really just. It's only because of Blossom. I just didn't think that she would double back. It wasn't even because it was a new nigga. It was more because she has a baby. And moms know how hard it is to have two babies at once. Blossom is a baby. She don't walk. That's a baby.

[A]

She was doing the 52 fake out with the whole pulling the dresses off. She did the whole, hey, a bitch been eating. Why a bitch can't gain weight. Like she did the 52 fake out out. When people questioned what they saw. But her business, her right. Her business, her right. Listen, Congratulations. Listen, now that the music is good, you could really go do whatever the you want to go do.

[C]

Yeah, word, right?

[A]

In music, that's how this goes. Like we was talking, cuz it was taking a while. Like eight years you delivered.

[C]

So you think this got affected the tour?

[D]

Yes, according to her.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

She say no, but she's stretching.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

She stretches.

[D]

So her body gonna be loose and soon as she had that baby, she's gonna go into a full tour schedule as far as like practicing dancing every day.

[A]

I heard her say some of that too. She said, listen, this is my fourth rodeo. My first two babies were difficult. The last one was easy. I'm expecting this one to be easy. News flash. That's not how. That's not how that goes. But I'm out of business. Every baby got his own personality. Every delivery is different. Every pregnancy, every doctor, nurse is there. They all not handling it the same way. So. But I just don't think so. I think that it's going to be a Cardi and Friends tour. I thought that from the second that this tour was announced, this is going to Be Cardi and different people on different nights.

[B]

30 of her closest friends.

[A]

I don't think that Cardi's tour is going to resemble, like, Nikki. Like, Cardi's gonna have more help.

[B]

I think.

[A]

I. I agree. I agree.

[E]

1. Well, once I saw the venues that told me that, like, her New York show is at the Garden.

[C]

Oh, wow. Well, that makes sense. She could do.

[E]

She's doing arenas across the country.

[A]

That's where that's different. That's where I'm saying the Garden.

[C]

Specifically, I think she can do. You saw.

[A]

But I mean, the bodega did bar. Hip hop has come, though. Word. I used to say Cardi in the Garden. And you say that, see, like, that's fly.

[C]

It is super fly.

[E]

It's very fly. But I'm just saying, once I saw Arena. Arena tour. Yeah, I. I told y'.

[D]

All.

[E]

I was like, all right, I need to see this ain't just her. I need to see what. What this look like.

[A]

Go ahead.

[D]

Bonafide fact. She could do it. I sneakily had a kid before, so it's like, when you working like that, I know for a fact she could do it. Especially the type of bread she got. You got nannies, you got help. Like, I mean, really, in reality, how hard can it be? And then she's the type of person that not only do she have nannies, you see her mom in the background of the videos. They real family oriented. She got a village, you know what I mean? It's already 60 of them in that house when they go over there, you know what I'm saying? She fine. Like, they're gonna travel with her and she gonna rock it out. I absolutely think she could do. I think she could do it pregnant. For real.

[B]

You said you sneakily had a kid. What you mean?

[D]

I. I had a kid while I was doing this. And I didn't announce. I didn't post it. I didn't because I didn't feel comfortable. Comfortable with it. You know what I mean?

[B]

But you told people. Did you tell people in your world, like, in your circle?

[D]

Yeah, yeah. But I worked once. I got big, like, and it's the funny part, I ended up interviewing Cardi, and she saw me pregnant, and she was asking me why I did not tell anybody I was pregnant. We had that whole conversation. That's funny that we having this conversation now. But I did it the whole time. Like, I worked the whole time. I traveled. Once I got so big, I couldn't. I didn't. But I had already started, like, getting content out so I can't be ready, you know?

[B]

Gotcha.

[D]

I just feel like women powerful like that, like we could pull that off, you know what I mean? And I have nowhere near the type of support that she has. You know what I'm saying? She could do that. She got that.

[A]

Well, congrats. Congratulations. Congratulations to Cardi B and Stefan Diggs. We wish you nothing but the best. We wish you a healthy pregnancy, a healthy delivery, all of that. Good. We rooting for you now that you gave us a great album.

[B]

Speaking of new als, before we jump to anything else, there is a new Jay Electronic album out. I am excited about that. And these.

[E]

Get this off, man.

[B]

No, these tried to play me yesterday.

[C]

We did.

[A]

We did it. No, no, we didn't. We just told you the truth.

[B]

No.

[D]

Jay Electronic still dropping.

[B]

He dropped the album today. He dropped. This is what happened. Right. I had got some intel that the album was coming out this week. I heard a couple of the singles and then last, then yesterday he dropped it. But he didn't drop the new album. He dropped the old. The old. He dropped Act 2 from his little.

[A]

Islam meetings he'd be going to at night time.

[D]

You Israelite?

[B]

I, I, I am not.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Although, anyway, that's another story.

[A]

Do you want to know? Would you like to know the truth, my sister?

[D]

I'm just curious, like where, like where. What grapevine are you on when you know, you know Jaylock, they're trying to.

[B]

Jay, like is my man. That's my brother. I know him for a million years, but also, you know, bunch of people connected to him. And so they sent me a couple of singles they said was coming out this week. Yesterday he dropped.

[A]

They are in that other crew. Yeah, we can't say it, but salute. They in that other crew.

[B]

So when he dropped his old album on the new dsp, I tweeted it real quick like new J elect and sent it to these guys on the company group chat. Parks actually looked at the link and was like, this is very, very old J Electronics. And then I was embarrassed. But then he dropped it like a couple hours later. So it's out now. Seven new tracks, brand new tracks, dope production. I haven't heard the whole thing yet, so I can't give a verdict on it. But I'm a Jay electronica Stan, so I'm a probably love it regardless. But it's fire and it's gonna go get that. Oh, they definitely need to go get it. It's his birthday too. Happy birthday to the brother.

[D]

Go get that New Jay Electronic the man.

[B]

There you go.

[D]

I'm helping. Don't make it weird.

[A]

Yo, and happy birthday to my mom. Mom. Duke. Happy birthday to Big Mom. Happy birthday, Mom. I love you. I will see you this weekend. I know you out cutting the rug and all that. Good. We sorry for how we spoke about the collard greens. My mom ain't fucking with y' all up here, but we'll talk about that later. Happy birthday, Mom. We love you.

[E]

Anywho, well, while you there, I gotta say happy birthday. My mom turned 60 yesterday. Happy birthday, Mom.

[B]

Happy birthday.

[A]

Yep.

[D]

All these Virgo moms.

[E]

I know. God, I'm surrounded.

[A]

Never mind what happened. 60. God damn.

[E]

Yep, Mom, 60 yesterday.

[A]

That's young. Shout out to Mama Ice.

[B]

Yeah, Mama Young.

[A]

Y. How would you this do the math go. You know, I'm mad at man. They help me me. I'm just. Hey, don't do that again. Yeah, 40 something. He ain't carried the water. Damn it.

[C]

They said.

[A]

All right.

[C]

I'm reading a little write up about the Jay electronica album that says a good chunk of his 29 minute running time is taken up by sampled audio clips rooted in Jay's religious beliefs and conspiracy theories ranging from the existence of UFOs to skepticism over climate change.

[A]

That's the other part. HOV is in that little club too, yo. If you just pay attention to the scene, you can guess who's in a.

[C]

Club and who ain't and who texted Mark.

[A]

And we can't say nothing about the club. I don't even know what club he's talking about. Me neither.

[D]

He's just preaching.

[A]

I haven't heard it. I just write it in the write up.

[B]

JJ always does long samples, long voice intros, whether it's. Whether it's John F. Kennedy or Elijah Muhammad, but they're always dope to me.

[E]

Ain't one of the songs called what if Elijah Muhammad Is Elijah?

[B]

The album tracks are Abracadabra Alchemy, who Killed Michael Jackson? Track number four is called Is it Possible that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is Still physically Alive?

[A]

All right, all right.

[B]

I loved it.

[C]

I can't wait to listen.

[B]

You know, I can't play around with that line. Come on, man. I'm not playing around with that. You. I'm just saying, you know. No, no, I don't play with the message. That's the name of this literally name. I'm not saying it is very didactic, but I think it might be a great album.

[A]

I want this to retire so bad, yo.

[B]

No, never I thought he meant me right then.

[A]

I'm trying to. Every time I hear him, cuz I like some of the they be talking about, he's fired. I respect the club, so I shut up.

[C]

The club.

[A]

It is a club. You know, the club. It's a club. Show business got you in the club back in the day. That's why I don't like you calling it the club, man. No, I'm not allowed the club. I'm just saying, JJ. I ain't J.L. i'mma chill, baby. But I can't wait to listen.

[B]

I'm looking forward to it and I'm hoping this is one of many. I heard some other JLAC must be.

[A]

A lot of fun to bowl with. There's something about you that.

[B]

That ain't connecting with me.

[A]

I bet you are a good time.

[B]

Like golfing.

[A]

Yeah, like riding a bicycle or some.

[B]

He's actually a fun dude. He's actually regular dude.

[D]

I'm sure he's cool for holding him down on this platform, but do you.

[A]

Think that the JLX segment should come after the car Cardi B segment?

[B]

I think. I think it should come. I think it should come with the new music segment. Like all new music. Shout out to all the new music.

[A]

[B]

No. If you want to know the truth, let's talk about David.

He was up and coming. Now it doesn't look like it. He's on. He's been on tour, actually. He has a US tour and a European tour. A lot of people know his sounds from TikTok and other social media stuff. But he does have two singles. And while on tour, someone was found dead in a car registered to him in California.

[C]

The car was abandoned. They smelt it.

[A]

The car was dusty, like it hadn't been driven or cleaned in a while. And people smelled something strange from the trunk.

Yeah.

[D]

Because death smells like death though. So it's like you gotta make that call.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You know, that's that.

[A]

Yeah. Yep.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's how the mortician made all that money then he was shoving 900 bucks and a little cream of thing. But anyway, anyway.

[B]

And what they found was this 15 year old girl, her body 12. No, she was 15 when they found her.

[C]

Let's start with the rest.

[A]

Celeste, Rest in peace.

[B]

Celeste. Yes, that's her name. She was found 15. Over the course of the next few days we have found more information that seems to connect the two. We're ready to come romantic to connect to romantically. One is, you know, according to some sources, there's a tattoo. Matching. Matching tattoo. A tattoo on her finger that said shh. S HH and then a little while later they found the same tattoo on his finger. There are reports that show that they were cohabitating and there's information that suggests they've known each other for three years at least. Right. That they were involved or connected for three years, that is. She was 12. Now to be clear, he. He's 20. Just to give people context. So I'm not saying.

[C]

Still disgusting.

[B]

It's very disgusting. I just want to give people context. I want people to know exactly all the facts.

[D]

Cuz I'm confused about the age part. Like when you kept saying he's.

[B]

They're five years apart.

[D]

So I'm just this. What I'm saying, I know that she was missing for years from her family. They couldn't find her. Right?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

So when she went missing, she was. That's what I'm saying. How old was she when she left the house, when she went.

[C]

I think she's 13 or something.

[B]

13.

[D]

That's what, that's how I took it like, you know what I mean? Because he's connected with a little, little kid. I mean it's still the same.

[B]

He was like 17, 18. Right. Too old to be with somebody. 12 or 13.

[A]

If there was. Listen, listen, we. And cause Mark at the group chat was like, hey, I typically believe in innocent until proven guilty.

[B]

However.

[A]

However, if there was ever a case where homeboy looked as guilty as you could possibly look. Because I wasn't familiar with homeboy either. I had to go down the David rabbit hole and the rabbit hole was darker than most of the doctors I watched. Let's start with what Mark said. Tattoos on both fingers. Yeah, yeah. Which has tattoos on both fingers. I Think before that mom Dukes even said hey, her boyfriend was a guy named David. Yeah. The rabbit hole I went down showed discord chats where they were claiming one another. Apparently there's a leaked record named Celeste where he names her two times and gets into a story. There's another song where he's actually sound like he's confessing to something that says, tell my mom and my dad I'm sorry. Tell I could find him if you want me to, but yeah, I don't want to play this too. Also his big song, which is romantic homicide, happened to be released on her birthday, which is not the first time he's released a song on her birthday.

[D]

What are the odds of that?

[A]

The car that they found her in was registered in his name. They have video of the young man and her in the hoodie she's wearing the hoodie that she was ultimately found in. They also have video of him down the street from her parents house, which is where she's believed to have been staying. I mean, when you talk about a mountain of circumstantial evidence, we'll call it.

[E]

Yeah, it's a lot.

[D]

And I ain't been in jail. How long you been locked up? A week.

[C]

I don't think he's even locked up yet.

[B]

No, because he. And you know, in fact, when he found out they were on tour, his U. S. Dates have all been canceled. The European dates as of now.

[C]

When he found out.

[B]

When he found out that the police were looking, the European dates are still open. His team said that he is fully cooperating with law enforcement.

[A]

They've searched his house.

[D]

What the fuck was.

[B]

And they raided the house. Yeah.

[D]

What state is that in though? What state was you in?

[B]

California.

[D]

So that's where the crime. Well, Cali don't play. He going to jail.

[A]

Also, if he did it, also, he did it. He was on his tour date with a live casket that he was bringing in for fans to write letters to deceased loved ones. Oh. I mean, when you talk about just someone that sounds like a complete sicko.

[D]

Yes, yes.

[A]

He look like it. He checks all the boxes.

[D]

Yeah. That's weird.

[C]

This is weird.

[A]

This is really, really weird. It's nuts.

[D]

It's definitely gonna be some crime or passion. She wanted to go home.

[E]

Some old wild shit mixed with like.

[C]

Some weird Internet fandom thing.

[D]

And then, you know, he still look like a kid. Cause like you just put her in the trunk, just leave. Like that's. That was your game plan. Nobody ever find dismembered.

[A]

Dismembered Dismembered. He didn't just put her in the trunk.

[D]

I didn't know that.

[A]

He dismembered her and put her in a trunk of a car that was registered to him. Allegedly.

[C]

Allegedly.

[D]

And he is from where? He's from the uk, I don't know. Or he was just on tour in the UK at the time.

[E]

No, he was in the United States at the time. When the news first.

[D]

This is a black man.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

Yes.

[D]

No way.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Let me see where he's from.

[D]

N. He's 10.

[A]

No, he's a black dude.

[E]

Listen, that's what I just looked up.

[D]

Black men don't do stuff like that.

[C]

I mean, his Wikipedia says he's from Houston. Yeah, born in Queens. From.

[E]

Yeah, born in Queens.

[A]

She was. And she was from where?

[D]

If he's from Queens, Utah or some.

[A]

Let's find out where she was from and where she lived, where her family was from. But yeah, this is one the of the more darker stories that I've ever heard.

[D]

Us black people was crazy to me. Shocking.

[E]

She was from Lake Elinor, California. She was from that inland. Inland area.

[D]

I met her on the Internet and got her to leave her house. Is he jumping on Tik Tok? She's. If he's popping on Tik Tok, that's a little girl's dream. You know what I mean? He probably was huge. And that's the thing when he keeps saying. Cuz I kept seeing, saying he has two hits, he has twists. And of course they're not hits, but in Tick Tock World. Come on, bro. Like it's life changing to them people.

[E]

Yeah, I'm talking in a discord.

[D]

It's freaky. You know what's crazy? It's a lot of discourse where Adele entertainers like are manipulating and messing with kids. I could tell that story 10 different times where it's a discord. And that's where all the messing with, like the younger people happen. And it's not just artists. What they. What they do have in common is that they have few social medias, but it's makeup artists, hairstylists, all kind of where you. In this game where these young people want to be a part of it from fandom or because you could teach them something. But all it ends up being is they. They just. They're predators.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And that's the thing about predators. They seek out those type of situations for love a guy. Look what's happening on Roblox. That's crazy, bro. Roblox was the only thing safe left for them kids. That's crazy. And Roblox knows. They don't give a. They don't care. They trying to make paper. That's crazy, bro.

[E]

Homeboy, though, it ain't looking too good.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I was shocked that they just now stopped the tour.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

He was touring. Kept touring.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

He was hitting show dates with all of this going on.

[D]

He need that money.

[A]

And I mean, not to speak it up.

[D]

Up.

[A]

I mean, I hope that somebody's watching him.

[D]

Oh, right.

[A]

Y. I hope somebody got their eye on him.

[D]

Cuz, you know, he a.

[A]

You know, he's know.

[D]

He want to know.

[E]

The wall start closing in.

[D]

They all. And I hate them.

[A]

And we don't want to trigger warning. Trigger warning for people out there, but.

[E]

It usually goes a certain way with.

[A]

If it looks like a duck and smells like a duck. And I mean, you could just see it. Shorty was about to come out, maybe.

[D]

Yeah. Or go.

[A]

He got a career. You don't want it to come out. You've been this 13 year old or she's pregnant. Don't know how. That's what I was waiting for.

[D]

And that's all times we won't know that to the autopsies. Yeah, that's what I thought, Jody.

[E]

That's initially what I thought.

[A]

And it's sensitive, so, I mean, we want to be careful.

[D]

And it's a child as a kid.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

And again, rest in peace.

[D]

Where's our family? Her mother. Father's terrible.

[C]

Horrible story.

[A]

The mother and father. Not now. Don't. I'm not. But missing for two years. And I know that the boyfriend named David. We. We get into that. We ain't waiting for people to see some posters or something.

[B]

We.

[A]

We get into that. That's all I'm saying.

[D]

Anyway, I say what I. I say to add to that. Not to go too far, because it is too soon. But I'm expecting. When the story come out more, a whole bunch of this shit with them searching for her hardest shit. They were on the news. They had T shirts, they had flyers. You know what I mean? Something indicative to them. They really tried to find their baby. For real.

[A]

Let me ask y' all girl dads or people with daughters in here. If Your daughter is 12 or 13 and come to you and say, yo, I have a boyfriend. Are you gonna demand to meet him at 12?

[B]

Yeah. You can't even have a boyfriend at 12 or 13 miles.

[A]

Just telling you that goes down a different street.

[B]

You ask a question. You cannot have a boyfriend until 13 miles.

[A]

Fine. If Your daughter still comes to you and says, I got a little boy that we got a little something with?

[E]

To answer your question, absolutely. Yeah. Thank you 1,000%. I'm going with the hypothetical. I'm going with the hypothetical. I'm with you, Flip. You can't stop your daughter from having a boyfriend now.

[D]

You has nothing to do with it.

[A]

I think he was just talking about the rule in his house.

[B]

Yeah, exactly.

[E]

I get what he's saying.

[B]

You cannot stop your daughter from having a boyfriend when she go to school. But I can put rules in place and make sure. Not make sure. But there's no boys allowed or no boys near or you can't do that. Some families do.

[A]

If your daughter is. And change the age for you. If Your daughter is 15, 16, whatever age you making, she'll come to you and say, yo, I have a boy, I'm really into him. Are you gonna demand to meet this person?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Got it. Doing it that way. You gotta meet them all, huh?

[E]

Yeah, yeah. You know why? Cuz us as men, we can feel certain aura, certain energy, you know what I mean? Like I was that kid.

[A]

I can't feel no energy of somebody's about to kill.

[E]

And no, I'm not talking dismember. Listen to this. But your 12 year old daughter, had you met this 18 year old kid or this 17 year old kid, you can be like, yo, fam, you're too old to be dating my child.

[D]

That's the thing. That's the thing about requesting to meet him. Cause you shut it down right there. Cause he can't bring his black ass in here. Cause he know he too old.

[E]

That's my point. So the mother knew, you said. The mother said she did have a boyfriend named David.

[A]

Cool.

[E]

Let me meet this kid. I should have met David. Let me meet the kid.

[D]

Let me ask you a question. So your question was more about meeting him, not the age. Age of the kid. Right. When you first asked. Initial first.

[A]

It got to be meeting. Sure. Before we get into.

[D]

No, I'm saying.

[A]

Well, actually that's not true because. All right, you got a boyfriend. All right, tell me about him.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

How old is he asking them? Yeah, you do that.

[D]

So your question was more about not the age of your daughter, but the. About just meeting her mate, period.

[A]

Meeting your daughter's mate when she's in those young. The young, young stage. I got boys. Boys.

[D]

Yeah. It's totally different.

[E]

Yes and no.

[C]

No, I don't have kids, but I would have an issue with my 12 year old daughter Having a boyfriend that she met on the Internet, Period. Period.

[D]

He don't go to your school.

[A]

We're drawing the line right here where you meet him.

[E]

How you know, it starts all.

[C]

It starts with parental blocks on the.

[A]

Internet, in my experience.

[E]

I don't know if you could. Could we fairly say that. Cause we're all removed. That might be the new thing for these kids to be meeting people on social media.

[D]

My daughter is 15.

[A]

But there are also restrictions that you can absolutely. To wi fi.

[E]

No, no, no. Park said I would have a problem with my daughter meeting a kid on the Internet, even if he was born.

[A]

Having a boyfriend from the Internet, even.

[E]

If he was 13, 14.

[B]

Yeah, no, I'm just saying it has to. Are we selling? Are we trying to inert the is? I mean, all right, I guess we are changing the way. Changing how we treat our children than from how we were raised.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Stranger danger is still a thing.

[B]

Listen. No, I'm asking. I'm listening. I'm listening to my. My fellow brothers. And regardless if we can't do anything to prevent our children from having a boyfriend or meeting on the Internet, still a lot of us not going to allow it. I don't know where you at. Like, I don't know where you at in your mind.

[E]

Gotcha, gotcha.

[B]

You coming off a little bit different to shit shocking me. I'm not gonna allow it. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to. Which part?

[D]

Do y' all have daughters? Yes, everybody here have daughters. Teenage ones. Cause I'm trying to.

[B]

My daughters are adults now, but they're. But you know, so just to give you a context, like when we had a no boyfriend rule until 16, you could have friends. Exactly. You know what I mean? Y' all can hang out as groups and all of that stuff, but, like, boyfriends. Like 16 when she got social media.

[E]

How old is your youngest?

[B]

21 now.

[E]

21. So five years ago.

[B]

So when she got social media, it was kind of when all the kids were on TikTok and Instagram and all of that. Stu. You can have Instagram, but you can only be friends with people you knew in real life.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

It was a locked account and you couldn't add people. So some guy from across from up the street around the corner in California couldn't add you. So those are some of the little things you do. I think it's. Now let me add just one more quick thing. So like. But sometimes, like, friends have friends. So if you got a friend, you might connect with someone on Instagram who Goes to the school up the street. But then you gotta meet him in person. He can't become like your boyfriend or your. You can't develop these relationships purely online with somebody you never met. That's what we have to intervene as parents. Exactly. I was going to ask you with.

[E]

With that rule lock, page, all of that. Were you constantly monitoring her mom?

[B]

Was.

[A]

Cuz that's the part.

[B]

She was excellent at it.

[E]

That's really the part that's missing. A lot of times the parents are not still keeping your eyes on what the kids?

[B]

We were checking the friend count, bro.

[E]

Listen to this. You have to.

[B]

Unfortunately, otherwise.

[A]

And I want to be careful here with sounding like we're victim blaming. Depending parents are victims. And this as well.

[B]

And just one fact check. She's been missing since May of 2024. Yeah, yeah. Just because I have.

[D]

I have a teenager. Whatever. I want to dial back a little bit what you said about her not being allowed, your daughter not being allowed to have. I think that like, you know, on the hopeful side, that's like a great thing. You know what I mean? But in my experience, just being in the muck with my teenager, I found it to be a little easier to kind of like. So it's like, okay, you know I don't want you to have no n. I know I don't want you to have no nigga. But I also know you know what's going on, right? My daughter is gorgeous. I know that. That's coming all day long on the Internet. My daughter just turned 15.

[E]

Okay, okay.

[D]

And my daughter is at the point now the first time I can remember an adult, a man trying to talk to me, I was 12, right? I was just standing next to my daughter. This guy that plays for a college football team. I think he's a quarterback or something. Pretty big guy. They brought him to meet me, right? He met me and locked eyes on her and went right at her in front of me. He's in grad school and I don't believe that he would have did that thinking she was 15 in front of me. So. And I'm not saying she looks older or whatever, but that was my experience. She's taller than me. I'm five eight. I'm five seven, five eight and she's taller than me. So it's like in reality that's boys are coming, don't care. They. I mean, whether they care, they not. Both of her parents were standing right there and he went right at that girl.

[A]

He thinks so low of dudes.

[B]

No, no, it's just my experience with my daughter. Like his.

[E]

His father, a lot of don't give a.

[D]

Her father lost.

[A]

In the 90s. When we seen something nice at the mall and she was with mom, we just. Right.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

I had to stop some dude from Holland. My daughter in the supermarket one time when she was 15. And when my daughter was walking up the street.

[A]

While you're present. See, that's that girl dad shit. I don't want no part.

[B]

I don't play that while you're.

[A]

How do you handle that?

[B]

Part of it was. I think they read my age differently in the spacing. I don't think they were trying to.

[A]

You do look young the fuck out of me.

[B]

I don't think they tried to disrespect me.

[D]

They didn't think you were her dad.

[B]

Yeah, I don't think they read it that way. But even still, I remember when my daughter was at my bookstore and she was like, I'm gonna go up to the street. And she let me grab my book bag. I was like, why would you go up the street? Why would you be. Why would you get your book bag to walk to the store? And she was like, well, because when I wear a book bag, fewer guys talk to me than when I don't. Yeah, she was 14 at the time.

[A]

So that's what I'm saying that means.

[B]

And the fact that she had to know that is what I gave him a cry that day. The fact that she had to know that and process that. And they still hollered. It just was fewer. These were grown niggas with cars. If you see a girl with a book bag, you probably don't need to be hollering if you're driving.

[D]

I had to get on. My daughter might trip a little bit. She a little clumsy or whatever. She look at the ground because she don't want to make eye contact with me. But what I was trying to spit out was if that was my experience that guys was always trying to talk to me, and I know that's her experience, then I just want to be like, for real about it. So me, the benefit is that, you know you're not allowed to do this and you still came to tell me you just got 1,000 bonus points for that over the fact that. I agree with that we three years early. Cause I wanted you to wait till you was 16. I agree with that because that's the thing. Also, the benefit of it is when you are involved in it, you kind of teaching her how to deal with this. Boy versus her learning on her own.

[C]

That's true.

[D]

When you talking to a guy you you don't know, he asks you to do sexual things, he asks you inappropriately, you don't know how to handle it. Versus you talking to your mom and your mom teaching you how to talk to them, teaching you how to say no. I'm just on reality. To me it goes just the same where they don't want to teach sexual education because it makes them. You look at statistics, you don't see sexual education people die from period. You can look at the Africa you could. You could just look at certain numbers and that's just how it work. It does not work to say no.

[E]

Don't have that make it taboo.

[D]

And like if any sometimes it. All the girls I grew up with, they had super strict religious parents. They was those the ones you through the golf.

[A]

Oh my God.

[D]

Preacher daughters, pastor daughter girls like come on bro.

[E]

I was 12 and you be. I was in the ninth grade at 12.

[D]

Did you get those?

[E]

So I don't understand how somebody could realistically say that my daughter can't have a boyfriend at 12 years old.

[D]

You was in a what? I'm sorry, what?

[B]

You.

[A]

I was in ninth grade grade at 12. You always doing some weird.

[D]

You two got skipped up twice. You got skipped up twice. They let you go to high school at 12.

[E]

Yeah, I could have been in high school at 11.

[A]

You ever heard of Doogie Howser?

[D]

Cat, that's dangerous. It's not dangerous.

[A]

Mona. Have you ever heard of Bill Nye?

[D]

I know Doogie Houser and Bill N. Doogie Howser is more fitting though, yo.

[B]

Definitely not the same.

[A]

So.

[E]

No, I'm just saying so I just think that as a parent we could want whatever we want. The ideal thing ain't the real thing. So. And. And I've dated catholic school girls with them girls was rolling their skirts up, tucking them in their bag cuz they had those parents that was on that. You better not. You better not. You better not. And then was the girls getting fingered at the caf school girl parties.

[A]

Your number is five.

[E]

You get what I'm saying? So I just think that. I think you got to be open minded.

[A]

Yo. That number is higher than I thought.

[D]

You gotta be cooking feet and you gotta roll with the punches with this. That's what I'm learning now. Things change as you go. This ain't no booklet to this. You just gotta figure it out. My thing is if I could keep you off the pole and I don't kill you by Mistake. I won.

[B]

You're right. I'm just saying that when it comes to, you know, hard. I'm an active. Not saying we're not active parents. I'm an active father.

[A]

And do this in closing or take this to the girl dad support group.

[B]

Hey, don't make no joke when I talk about my daughter.

[A]

Oh, my. My bad.

[B]

I'm saying that he only said it.

[D]

Cuz he don't got no.

[B]

Hold on, hold on. Give me a second. I take. I take extra measures.

[A]

Don't talk over the new coes.

[B]

I talk. She's talking over me bag too. I talk.

[A]

She's so stupid.

[D]

My. My apologies.

[B]

Disrespectful to you.

[D]

Excuse me, I apologize. Excuse me. I apologize.

[B]

You think that's wise, yo?

[A]

What? To give her back?

[B]

No. You think it's wise? What you doing?

[D]

I said he said he was going to buy me a bag too.

[B]

I'm not talking to you.

[A]

I'm. And she cost the bag.

[B]

Shout out to her. I think she deserve it. But that's.

[D]

Remember the bag you said was going to buy me a leather Italian bag.

[B]

I'm about to get mad.

[D]

Yo, the old Seline vintage bag.

[A]

All right, Fl. Go ahead.

[B]

I just got goosebumps.

[A]

Yo. How you get along with the new co host is very important. We're watching that as a company.

[D]

Who you going up his fist ball.

[B]

Who you going to spend on but not you.

[D]

Oh, baby, I know it's. It's not me.

[B]

What they not going to help you.

[A]

You.

[B]

You look at me. I don't even talking to that. I'm not talking to you. I'm purposely ignoring whatever you got going on here.

[D]

I'm sorry.

[A]

I'm sorry.

[B]

Listen to me. Stop doing that. One, two. I don't want us to put out there that there's not out there that take extra measures to protect their children, period. Right or wrong or indifferent. Yeah. You can't stop your daughter from talking to anybody. But I'm going to go to the school. I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect my daughter from these predatory ass and these children. Yes, when I was young, I was able to take advantage. Not take advantage, but I was able to be in a situation with girls who had strict parents. Sometimes the parents would invite you to the house. They prefer things to happen in the house than outside. But what I'm saying with that knowledge, I want my daughter to be as open as she can. But I do know that there's guys that try to take advantage.

[D]

I'm curious at the extra measures. I'm very curious.

[B]

I'm transparent with her. And I said, we'll talk about that another time. Cause we have a subject to go to.

[A]

But anytime I was that age and dealing with a girl that had the mom that, you know, introduced me and I could come over. Cause she wanted to supervise it. That was when I ain't know how to use my. I'm in the living room just talking. I'm in the living room being a conversation. I didn't know what to do with my dick at all. And they was a little hot ass. And they would try to bring me in the room. Yeah, they would try to. Yo, mom is gone. What's up? I was eating, unbuttoning my pants. I ain't know what to do. I was flapping a hand.

[B]

Girl, that's what ishmael.

[A]

Girl, get off the. For me. Your number is in the 10,000.

[B]

[A]

Yo, cousin Mookie mixtape out right now.

[D]

27 kids. It's his struggles. Get that nigga we gonna do it with this one, baby. Free the gels. My. Can I tell you tell him what I said about him to you gossiping. So listen, you know how because I'm a fan of yours. They gave me about it last time, right? But when you entertainment industry, it's very rare that you get more than one shot. But you've had a couple lives in this. You've done the rapper up and everything and then the reality tv. Listen, hats in the container. You hear me? Because if you're gonna wear a hat, bring a head case, okay? And then after that podcast and did. Really? You're pretty good at this, nigga. You might be killing this podcast, right?

[A]

Not too bad.

[D]

But I think that you're even more rare because your fourth life is going to be you, like old as shit. Super gray, shirtless. Like at a Vegas residency on some old nigga DJ shit. You know how a lot of niggas become DJs at the end. I see it for you.

It's nothing wrong with being a gay dj. If he were a gay dj, that's saying YMCA with glitter on his nipples, that would be okay.

[E]

With glitter on his nipples.

[D]

At the end of the day. At the end of the day, I think you'll be a good dj. And a lot of people do it. Paris, sit on D. Dion Cole, the comedian, he.

[A]

I don't know if y' all being funny or not, cuz this is funny. But. But if I was a straight DJ and found out that the gay clubs was paying a certain amount, it's lit the tightest black T shirt you could find. Hey, I buy the glitter from Walgreens. Fuck is you talking about?

[D]

That's the most. I think that's so. Like a joke. Like the whole thing, like. Oh, please.

[A]

Do is get help. Yo, the second you was even thinking of a title and came up with Romantic Homicide.

[E]

Yeah, you got go True.

[A]

You got to go. I agree with that. That's what happened when the therapist tricked me when I was 15. Oh, let me hear what you're writing about. Worst thing ever.

[C]

And rest in peace again to Celeste. Thoughts and prayers to her family.

[A]

Yeah, rest in peace to Celeste. That's got to be extremely difficult. Beautiful young girl. You said, what happened?

[D]

What the. Did you tell.

[A]

I went to the therapist. I said, I rap. She said, oh, I write and I rap. She said, oh, really? Let me. Let me. Let me hear something. Let me. Let me read it. And I gave her my rap book, which at that time, all my raps was about transitioning. Really?

[D]

To what?

[A]

All my raps.

[B]

No.

[A]

Girl, girl, Boy, girl.

[B]

No.

[D]

What the Are you talking about?

[A]

Boy, Girl.

[B]

He was. He's biologically male.

[D]

I'm leaving.

[B]

But he was. He was just thinking. He was just thinking about it.

[D]

Sandwich in a yellow.

[B]

He was just thinking about it, y'.

[A]

All.

[D]

What are we talking about?

[A]

The. Come on.

[B]

They lock that up.

[A]

All my raps at 15 were about unaliving myself and after life, self transitioning. Yes. I was depressed, and I was writing about it, and I gave it to her because I was killing the raps. And she called the higher up. She was like, yeah, we need the door. They called my parents or my mom, and. Yeah, it was a big.

[D]

It was a big thing as a kid, too.

[A]

It was a big thing. It builds character. No.

[D]

Oh, for sure. It makes you funny as. I'm funny as.

[A]

Yeah, no, it does. I'm grateful. I'm grateful. These are the times. All right, that's sick. All right, what else is going on?

[B]

There's been a lot of. There's been a lot of fallout since our last conversation about Dame Dash and the Breakfast Club. There's been about three big things that have happened. And I was trying. I was trying to. I have a bone to pick with the media about parts the. Of. But we've seen Dame now. Sue Kamron, allegedly.

[A]

Yeah, I'm really disappointed.

[D]

Like, in real life.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I'm frustrated with all of it. So in the aftermath of the interview, a couple of things have happened. People have continued to fact check Dame Dash about whether or not he was CEO. The chairman of Revolt. Of Revolt. I actually reached out to the CEO of Revolt just to find out myself before it hit, just. Cause I was just curious to Tavio. He said unequivocally, that that wasn't true and that no part of it was true.

[D]

Damn.

[B]

And that the statement attributed to him in Vibe magazine was completely manufactured. He eventually issued a company wide email as well, saying the same thing, which I thought was problematic. But what frustrated me about that and we could talk about the Cameron thing was this is why we need journalists. And this is what happens when people who identify as journalists fail. Because when that Vibe magazine article came out, it was like, okay, well, look, this proves that Dane was telling the truth. It said they even had quotes from Dottavio. But when you actually read the article, you realize that they never actually spoke to Revolt and they never spoke to Dottavio.

[C]

That's crazy.

[B]

They got everything from. It seems Dame Dash's team. That's not journalism.

[D]

I can't.

[B]

They basically issued a press release. They basically took a Dame Dash press release and put it out as if it were journals journalism. And they just took for granted that the Tavio really said those things. So they attributed quotes to him that they never verified from the company or from him personally. You can't do that.

[D]

Aren't they supposed to put something out in the podcast?

[B]

They should.

[D]

What's that called? What is that?

[B]

They should do a correction or a correction, one or the other.

[D]

That's 2025, though. That's what it is now. Everything is like that. And it goes all the way from the top to the bottom to regular people telling stories about things they have no idea about. Million billion interviews, spreading all this misinformation. That's just the days of the Times, of the Times.

[B]

And this continues to happen now in mainstream media. There was a story that came out a year ago that Joe Biden was giving out crack pipes. And it's.

[A]

And I never did. Biden. Oh, sorry.

[B]

And it's like people see that story and then what they do is they spread the story. So then by the time you see, you say, well, it was in three newspapers, but each newspaper is really linking to the first newspaper. When you go to the first newspaper, you realize they don't actually have the story. And that's dangerous and it's irresponsible. I don't care so much about whether Dame Dash is chairman of Revolt or not. It's. It's just evidence that, like, at this moment we don't have journalism and the stuff we think is true is not true. And that's deeply dangerous.

[C]

Or it's just straight up a pr.

[E]

Well, the problem today is everybody want to be first to report some shit.

[D]

Yep.

[E]

So if you hear it like they heard him on Breakfast Club. All right, cool. Let's hurt to get an article out saying this so that now we look credible.

[B]

Yep. And that's what they said. We're Biden exclusive. Yeah.

[C]

Even with the.

[E]

That's the name of the game on the board.

[C]

The AI Artist thing. And to me, that read like, no, this is just a press release from the company that are behind this girl.

[E]

That's what I took from.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Trying to big some up.

[D]

Mark, do you remember the story about the older black woman? She was 81, she was a marine. And she gets into a shootout in front of target and shoots these white boys over the spot. Bro. I told I. I was so I cried. It's all. It was all made up.

[B]

Wasn't. And people. But then I'm glad you cleaned it out.

[A]

What the is this lady talking about?

[D]

No, it was. Listen, it was a story and it was. And I heard. I don't know if this is true.

[B]

I don.

[D]

I don't know if this is true, Mark, but I read somewhere that that was put out by like right wing people to like scare white people.

[B]

There's been a couple right wing stories that have been planted in the media about black people and voting rights, about drugs. And again, they spread without verification. And I'm just saying, if you're gonna put out a company's press release, what you have to say is Vibe magazine. We got this exclusively from Dame Dash. Here's what he said. Boom. Judge for yourself. You can't act as if you credible information that you did the work and that you did reporting. Cause the reason we trust journalistic action outlets is because they do reporting. Anyway, all that's it.

[A]

How do you guys feel about the $300 million suit to Camron? Allegedly. And I'm getting that from Dame himself.

[D]

What is he suing them for?

[B]

Defamation, harassment, torturous interference. He named like four things on his IG page. Basically, he's saying the cam is going too far.

[A]

And he said, I'm not going to resort to violence, and nobody that loves me is going to resort to violence. You made my children uncomfortable. You made my wife uncomfortable. This is the only other choice that I have. That's what Dame Dash said.

[D]

I had to miss a piece.

[A]

And Dame Dash is watching what we say. He posted y' all on his Instagram account. Oh, did he?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

So. So, so. So after all of us just to do a quick catch up. And then after. After the Breakfast Club interview, the next thing that happened was Cameron did some Commentary on that. Dame Dash also did an Art of dialogue interview where he talked about being in a car with. With Cam Ron and basically saying that he had three bricks with him and that Cam was crying and he'll go to PC, Right. And say he would go to protective custody if they get caught by police. Cam responded to that on two different platforms. His platform with Mason and individually basically saying, this is bullshit. And he laid out all the reasons why they're both going back and forth, disclosing information, clowning, whatever you want to call it. And it seemed to be ratcheting. But for whatever reason, at this point, Dame Dash said enough and said that Cam has gone too far. And that's when he said that he's. He put a demand letter and. And. And allegedly suing him for 300 million. Is that right?

[D]

I'm curious about why the kids are in danger. Like, what did Cam do that. That he could even say that he endangered?

[A]

Well, according to Dame, Cam approached one of his kids with some money to do an interview. Oh, I don't know if that's true or not. I'm just getting that from what they're saying about each other.

[D]

Okay, now I get it. Yeah.

[E]

In terms of going too far, I saw Dame's last post, and he mentioning Cam's moms and her crib. And like, to me, that's. Now we went somewhere else. And everybody who know Cam know how he is about his mom.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

All that is too personal now.

[E]

It's just like, I don't even want to look at it no more because.

[A]

This has potential to take me out the group chat. Yeah.

[E]

I'm not looking at the move.

[A]

Y' all know each other and they love each other.

[D]

If somebody go hard like that on a regular, and I've been unsubscribed from that. I just feel like when it comes to a man, when you go real, real low like that, I just. It's weird. Like, I just. I don't know. Like, some, you know, we got further and further from them old, invisible rules. You don't talk about kids, you don't talk about mom. You don't talk about. And now it's at the point where, like, a grown man and say that big head, dumb ass, baby. You guys, like, it's craziness. It's craziness.

[B]

I hope they squash it.

[D]

They ain't resolving that nor squashing it. But he's not going to get no money.

[B]

Oh, I. Yeah.

[A]

Let's talk about Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

Speaking of misinformation, and censorship and.

[E]

Yeah, it's disgusting.

[C]

Which part?

[E]

The fact that.

[B]

Can we say what happened?

[E]

Jimmy Kimmel was basically released indefinitely by the network ABC for comments that he made about Charlie Corporation Kirk.

[C]

Yes. Which.

[E]

Which weren't really.

[C]

There are more comments about how Donald.

[E]

Trump reacted acting to Charlie Kirk's passing away.

[A]

Right.

[E]

And as a result the. The network released him again indefinitely. I don't know if he will still be paid or not, but he will.

[B]

He will, he will. Yeah. Cuz they didn't suspend him. They just. They basically just not airing his show.

[E]

Got you got.

[D]

Oh I take it that money which.

[A]

I thought they were wording as an indefinite suspension until he donates money to Charlie and apologize Charlie Kurt's family and apolog the foundation and apologizes for hell his commentary.

[E]

You're extorting me at that hell.

[A]

Right?

[E]

Literally what you're doing.

[D]

How is that legal, Mark?

[B]

It is. I'm not sure it is. I mean it's, it's a tough situation because you know you got a company that's saying, saying you know, we're taking. They have a right to take them off air, especially if they're paying. When CNN did that to me, they paid me. They paid my whole contract out. So technically there's, there's nothing they can.

[A]

All right, flex there.

[B]

No, that's not a flex. I'm saying I got silenced. You know what I mean? Like I probably should have not taken the money and fought. You know what I mean?

[D]

Depending on who looking at it.

[A]

Well no, that's what they're saying the problem is here. Right. They're infringing upon his freedom of speech. First Amendment, whatever amendment it is.

[B]

First.

[D]

There's my thing. When does this stop? Where's the ed. To wit, in.

[C]

I think the bigger problem aside from the free speech is just the censoring of media. Not necessarily the free speech part. I think that anytime you're squashing people who don't agree with you, especially when it's a comedic platform. Super dangerous, bro.

[D]

Come on.

[E]

And you give Fox 5 in any other platform that is in agreement with you full reigns to say whatever the they want to say.

[C]

Right. Dude was just on there the other day talking about euthanizing homeless people.

[E]

Got say. They said whatever they wanted to say.

[D]

For a year straight.

[E]

He didn't die as a result of a knee on his neck. He died as a result of a drug overdose himself saying that.

[B]

And was tagging his children.

[A]

Yo.

[D]

Was tagging, tagging his teenage children.

[B]

That's A fact about that, which was. Which was just cruel. So there's two issues here. One is like, crazy, ABC has a right to say who can have a show and who can't. You don't have a First amendment right to a TV show. The problem here though, is that the FCC forced them is intervening. Right. And it's been very public, even on right wing podcasts saying that this is a problem. So if the state is intervening and saying you can say stuff and you can't, because as you pointed out, Parks, Brian Kilmeade is on Fox and Friends saying that you should be killing homeless people. He apologized for. But you should be killing homeless people if they won't agree to get locked up. I mean, how is that within the lines? But just pointing out that the Charlie Kirk supporters are MAGA isn't like that to me is weird. And so suspending, I mean, suspending Jimmy Kimmel to me is so far beyond the norm and so far beyond the bounds of what should be in a democratic society. That's crazy to me.

[D]

It's huge.

[A]

Like, I want to. At least I want to play some that C from Barstool posted. Okay.

[D]

They trying to silence me too.

[A]

I don't know if it's. I haven't fact checked him, but he just goes a little deeper.

[G]

All right, Jimmy K Suspension goes way deeper than just your typical cancel culture saga. Now that we know about the details of the potential Nextar merger and the FCC's hypocrisy, before I tell you everything that I got wrong and what I did know about about the situation, let me explain where I was coming from with my mentality, with my first reaction. I don't really like Jimmy Kimmel. I find him to be a snarky hypocrite.

[A]

No, shut up. We don't need your opinion on this, C. Sorry. We just want to hear the fact.

[G]

But as a content creator who says jokes and has said inflammatory things and has crossed the line before, I ordinarily would side with people who get canceled and say that's up. I should be able to say whatever I want and make whatever joke I want. And in an effort to compromise and meet people halfway, I thought we were operating under this flow philosophy of you can have free speech, but there are consequences for your words. Because that's what I heard for a.

[A]

Decade, get to what we need.

[G]

Controversial people. So my opinion was, why doesn't this fall under that same umbrella? Right? Jimmy Kimmel has an audience. He works for a company. There are.

[A]

And I, with you she's important right now.

[G]

Parameters.

[D]

And he didn't.

[G]

What I did not know.

[A]

Here we go.

[G]

Was the blatant hypocrisy from the fcc and even what the purview of the FCC is. I was under the impression that the FCC monitors broadcasts for the general public interest, that you're gonna protect children and you're gonna stop hate speech and you're there to basically patrol the overall well being and peace of society in terms of broadcasting. When it comes to things like language and ratings for children and rap lyrics.

[D]

Like Eminem, they're like, hang on.

[G]

If something is going to disrupt things too much, we've gotta take a look at them. This is Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC in 2019, flat out saying the FCC does not police speech in the name of public interest and that the government should not censor speech at all. Now we fast forward to yesterday. After Nexstar threatened to preempt Jimmy Kimmel with her 28 local stations and essentially force the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. Brendan Carr comes out and says, I'd like to thank nexstar for doing the right thing. They have an obligation to serve the public interest.

[D]

That is about as blatantly hypocritical as it gets.

[G]

Now the next part of the situation. Nexstar announced they were trying to merge.

[A]

This is the big part.

[G]

Rival that would this one gigantic media conglomerate. But the problem was that kind of violates FCC rules about how much power one group can have on television. But just recently, Brendan Carr, our boy, Mr. Hypocrite, said that his mind was open to getting rid of those artificial limits on how many TV stations one company can own. Now, how do nexstar and Carr connect? Well, Brendan Carr went on a podcast and said he believes the individual license stations are the ones that need to step up and say, we don't want Jimmy Kimmel. So nexstar, who's trying to get the this merger done and needs to break the rules and needs the FCC to change their mind on some of the laws, sees Brendan Carr saying, here's what I want from you guys. And they say, let's give it to him so that we can get our merger done and get our $6.2 billion.

[D]

It's always about the money.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah. American is apple pond. Baseball. My.

[B]

Yeah, makes sense to me. Makes sense to.

[C]

That's disgusting.

[E]

So it don't really be about no more.

[A]

That makes a lot of sense.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

It's not about morality, it's about spanky. Yeah, all the time.

[A]

Yeah, that's what it sounds like. Again, I haven't, I haven't checked that. If what he is saying is true, that sounds about right to me.

[B]

I, I didn't have that deep of an analysis because I didn't do the research. But what I knew for sure was his contract was up next summer 2026.

[D]

That's what I thought.

[B]

And they weren't renewing him. And they seem to be getting rid of late night tv. So this seemed. Either way, it seemed like a convenient out that's even more interesting and combination complex. But yeah, yeah, at the very least it seems like a business move.

[E]

Either way, I think, I think late night TV is a rap.

[B]

It is.

[E]

Especially at the, the clip that they used to be paying them. Yeah, they were some of the highest.

[B]

48 million dollar contract.

[E]

Yeah, they were some of the highest paid people in entertainment and I think late night TV is just a old school thing and I hate that.

[C]

Well, I think it's gonna evolve and move like everything else. You know what I mean? Like even with sports, ESPN is not a great place to really get sports information from. Like YouTube and independent creators are a better place to get real sports information from.

[A]

I don't think that they'll, we'll see a world without late night television. Yeah, I think it'll be in my.

[C]

Lifetime, it'll be somewhere else.

[A]

But I don't see it now.

[E]

I don't think they'll be paid what they were paid. Like, well, that's Jay Leno, Letterman. All of these guys used to get these astronomical. They used to get. That's when they were huge, huge, huge contracts.

[C]

So that's not to say that's not.

[A]

It's been lit. That's not when it was. It was lit then and it's continued to be lit.

[C]

It's also not to say that if the Joe Button podcast aired nightly at 10pm we would be in the same conversation with them. Like I'm saying those guys can make the same money. It might just not be at cbs.

[A]

Oh for sure. I mean Conan showed them that. There's a bunch of people that showed him that already. I like the unified front from Fallon, John Stewart and Colbert.

[C]

Fallon John was funny.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, that was good.

[D]

I thought. What you thought where his girl though. I thought it was you. What you thought where it was over for him already. Until I saw all those teachers being fired. Until they suspended my, my YouTube and you know what I mean? Then I was like, I don't know what to expect.

[A]

Can you speak more on that? About suspending your YouTube. Like what do you mean?

[B]

What happened?

[D]

I went on my podcast and don't.

[A]

Call me white girl.

[D]

Don't call me white girl podcast. And I said that. That I wasn't the biggest fan of the guy, you know, Charlie Kirk. You say his name. Hold it down. I do the struggle. I need you.

[A]

I got you. Because they knew you wasn't white when you told us. They look.

[D]

Oh Lord. That's what I'm saying. I'm only called white like in arguments like anytime. It's like court judge bro, shoplifting.

[A]

So you feel like you would said.

[D]

You said they follow me around the store. Why don't the people in the store. You know what I mean? Come on. But anyway, no, I did. I, I said, I said. I said a couple things. What bothered me the most was the flags half staff, right? Because the way it works is it starts up there, the White House or whatever and the schools do it and this do it. So the thought of my kid going to school and saying why is the flag like that? And they supposed it's. It's a joke.

[E]

We got a day coming up.

[D]

The bot. The thing that bothered me the most most is it's a big you to black people. And then the fact that people act like they don't understand that that's a big you to us. That somebody can speak that ill of us on a regular basis. And when he died, he gets some kind of praise. I could see if he did some give back work and got some done. He hasn't. He hasn't done nothing but go to different schools to be an antagonist and start. But I got on my podcast and I said some things about him and he suspended my.

[E]

My YouTube real quick.

[D]

He took away my YouTube.

[A]

I'm a.

[B]

My mom, My mom. They took away my mom does the casino content. And when they saw her comments on Charlie Kirk, they confiscated her credentials. They took away credentials. You can't come here.

[D]

Like her monetization.

[B]

Not on YouTube. But the casino did that. And I think that they reporting it if I'm not mistaken. I just saw her talk about it and that all her credentials was. Was removed. That's crazy.

[D]

What can we do, Mark? What the are we supposed to do?

[B]

Hold on.

[A]

Yo, I love how you do just always go to Mark for the solution. Who else here? What can we do, Mark? Ask the rest of us too what we could do. We got fucking ideas.

[B]

They all got answers. I just want to fuck you, Mark. What Mona is alluding to and is part of a Big story that we also need to talk about. It's all connected and that is that the Senate passed unanimously Charlie Kirk Day or a national day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk. October 14th is the national remembrance for Charlie Kirk.

[D]

Kirk.

[B]

That is crazy. There are a hundred people in the US Senate, Democrats and Republicans.

[D]

So this October it's already on. We ain't even wait till next year.

[B]

It's only going to be one day. It's just every year Harlem get a week. Yeah.

[D]

Come on, bro. Yeah. Why doesn't. Why aren't y' all upset?

[C]

I upset?

[A]

I can tell you.

[B]

And there's a companion resolution coming in.

[D]

The House call this out for real. That it ain't that deep.

[B]

Yeah, but this is your show Shook.

[A]

I can tell you I'm not upset. I just know where I am.

[E]

Exactly.

[A]

Yeah, I know where I am. I know how they are.

[D]

I know where you are. But you've never seen nothing like this.

[A]

That's where.

[D]

Something like this.

[C]

I've never seen this.

[D]

Something like this you have never seen. Are y' all crazy?

[B]

I agree with her, his mom, teachers.

[D]

And my YouTube and Jimmy.

[E]

I've never seen it. I'm not gonna say I'm surprised by it though.

[D]

Okay, cool.

[E]

I didn't say that, but that's why I'm not.

[D]

I know where I. I am too. But you've never in your whole life, you've never seen nothing like that. That is scary. What the is going on? I'm home in my big panties, the extra large ones, eating popcorn on large on live, talking about Donald Trump. And they come to my door and beat the out of me. Like we in Russia or some. We in Uva Scotia.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I think I watch it get dragged out the do content from over there. I watch this thing get dragged out.

[B]

Out talking filthy about the President and.

[D]

They ain't seen a since.

[C]

And it is dangerous, in my opinion to say this. Not surprising. We've seen like this before.

[A]

What the.

[C]

That's. That's treding a very dangerous line like, oh no, this is what's supposed to happen. This is not what's supposed to happen.

[A]

This is.

[E]

I'm not saying it's supposed to happen. What I'm saying is I'm not surprised by it because look where.

[A]

Look what they do.

[D]

And what he's saying is a cavalier attitude like that is dangerous is what he's saying. What he's saying is living in a.

[E]

Real world though at the same time.

[D]

Respect. But the way that right there is dangerous. Cuz some do It. At some point everybody got to wake up and say hold up, hold up. Right? It's time to go to the town. The town square.

[E]

Let's go then. Go ahead.

[D]

I'm ready.

[E]

Cuz a lot of people doing all this, but not doing nothing. They've been doing this for years. My.

[D]

I ain't got no.

[A]

Why you cat calling me?

[E]

What I'm telling you to.

[D]

Park's face was red. He filled me.

[B]

I'll tell you one guy who's pissed about this.

[A]

That's just.

[D]

And we're in me, y'. All. We do this. That's another thing that's funny. We do this. So what if you say some and they feel they find it that deep? They lock you the up if I don't. Cuz it never happened. But it. But you the first podcast need get booked.

[A]

If I don't get my YouTube check.

[B]

Hear what you say about Afrobeats, dog.

[A]

If I. If I don't get my YouTube check. You. You getting booked. Hey, hey, y'. All.

[D]

Bro in the back. Cut it out, bro.

[A]

Y' all check out Mona on her show on her network or not when she go. Yeah, I mean she got a lot. She's really passionate about this subject. I understand what y' all are saying. What I'm saying. What I'm saying to y' all is this. And you're right. Y' all are right. It's dangerous when you get to a place of acceptance. But I don't think acceptance and awareness are the same. I'm just saying I'm aware of where I am.

[B]

I agree with that.

[A]

Y' all voted in a president who I have my thoughts on. I don't care about what who voted him. I don't care about y' all thoughts. I have my thoughts and I believe in them about him. That's who y' all put in office to fucking change legislation however he wanted to so he could get revenge, spite and get back against the people. So he could let all the January 6th people out of jail. So he could. This is the same dude. His last run was splitting families from their kids and putting them all in cells. I don't know what more y' all needed to see. I'm telling y' all I was convinced on him. Hold up. And my basketball coach, Coach Gil Reynolds rest in peace association brings on affiliation. If those are my thoughts on him without the Epstein boy book or list being put out, mind you. If you just watch who he hangs out with.

[E]

True.

[A]

And the things that they say freely.

[E]

True.

[A]

When I Go home. I assume that that is how they speak and maneuver about us behind closed doors. I agree with that. Which says so how they treating homeboy is not such a shock to me. His rhetoric is America's rhetoric is what I'm saying. That's all I'm saying.

[E]

I had a. We had a long conversation. Some dude hit me in my DMs, right. About what we said about Charlie Kirk. So he and I had a little exchange. So it got to a point I'm like, yo, my nigga, I'm tired of texting. Yo, what's your number? So I got black. This is the funny part.

[B]

This is complete stranger.

[E]

Yeah, like it was a good conversation. Yo, it was a good conversation, right? He was black, he was educated. He wasn't some stupid motherfucker from yo. And he really was defending Charlie Kirk and justifying some of the things that Charlie Kirk said. And it got me so frustrated. I said, yo, my, you too smart to think like this.

[D]

That's right.

[E]

You understand what I'm saying? You got black people defending this. My thing is if they could do this to rich white late night co host, late night hosts who we've held up here, imagine what the they could do to us.

[A]

No, it ain't about them doing it to the late night show called.

[E]

No, I'm just giving you an example.

[A]

Bob I Iger. Yeah, yo, they did it to Bob Iger. This ain't your little late night show host that make 30, 40 million, 50 million a year. They did that to Bob Iger. Sure did.

[E]

So that's my point.

[D]

Don't know who Bob Iger is.

[C]

He runs Disney.

[B]

He runs Disney.

[A]

Disney. This is a Disney move. Yeah, this is the spa. So. And Hulu. There's people now. There's people now talking about we boycotting ABC and Hulu. I'm was all the way. Then they said boycott Hulu. I had to re sit down and think. I was like it. I'll show it for my people.

[D]

[B]

[A]

Yo, you. That's been your bag today.

[D]

That's my personal opinion. If I saw y' all working, it was like that, I would give it to you. And if I see you working, it wasn't like that. I wouldn't judge you. If your baby moms and stuff is ugly, I wouldn't judge y'.

[A]

All. No. Mark got some real good looking exes.

[D]

The Internet is saying I'm somebody ugly baby mom. One dream is another headache, bro.

[B]

Yeah, that look funny.

[D]

I need a pr.

[A]

You don't see nothing. Y' all no never mind. Forget it. Forget it. Forget it. We just keep mo.

[C]

It's weird.

[B]

[A]

What else Needs are full of.

[B]

Did y' all want to talk about moving?

[A]

Talk about what?

[D]

Did y' all want to talk about dicks?

[C]

Not right this second.

[D]

I don't have a problem with it.

[C]

I don't have a problem with it, but maybe later.

[B]

Hey, hey, hold on.

[D]

You know, we can talk about. We could talk about the fact that most women don't get sexually satisfied from their Sexual experiences. Almost like if you say, okay, 10. If a woman talk about 10 sexual experiences, out of those 10, probably one bust her ass out the tent. Or we could talk about how we got patriots. It's a myth. It's a myth about everybody.

[B]

We got Patreon, we got notes, we got Patreon. Let's save it for Patreon.

[D]

Talking about big digs. People want to change today.

[B]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, you're correct.

[A]

You can always tell who, who I.

[B]

Change it to, right? Yeah, we want to change this up.

[A]

Who feel uncomfortable?

[B]

I feel comfortable.

[D]

Anyway, the last thing I was going to say is. Or we could talk about how it's a myth that everybody likes huge big dicks. Some people prefer smaller dicks.

[A]

Can you stop interrupting?

[D]

Yeah, you.

[B]

So you hit your subject?

[A]

No, no, I do see a lot of girls. I don't know if it's a content thing.

[D]

I promise.

[A]

I hate that I'm the one that got roped in.

[D]

I knew you would be there.

[A]

But I do see a lot of girls, they get comfortable cuz the. Cuz the dirty content that run up on you in the street and say, oh, defendant. So first, what you do them dirty.

[D]

Now they like all them dirty content. Oh my God, that's.

[A]

They always out the. Out the frame.

[D]

The ones that's always outside.

[A]

Talk about what you got on. No, what you got on?

[D]

Anyway, the ones with little furry mic on their shirts.

[A]

But them now they walking up to girls and asking personal like, yo, what's your ideal size? Oh yeah, ask me and the girl.

[B]

Fair question.

[A]

Somebody ask her.

[D]

I want you to ask me.

[A]

Oh God, they gonna clip me up. All right, what's your ideal size?

[D]

Say it again.

[A]

Fuck you, Mona. Now moving on. No, I don't care no more.

[D]

6 and 7 in the middle. Girthy, but no bigger than 7. 8. I call the fucking police in there and I ask for dick pics. Listen, this is the truth. Most men don't know how to please you. Right? Air. Most men are not pleasers. So their number one thing is to please them. So you walk around with all this dick, you think you going to punch on me, right? You just trying to come. You don't care if I come, you don't care if I like it. So you have more chance of it to be painful with a guy with a big dick versus it being good and him knocking that, that back door. Cuz some of them knock that back door. Boy, you put that on in your name, you know what I mean?

[C]

Now that we Got to the bottom of that.

[D]

Get to the bottom of it. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. But that's the whole thing, though. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yes. Well, no, but I'm taking your word. I'm taking your word for it.

[C]

Cameron. What you agree with?

[B]

Yeah. Work.

[D]

It's so quiet in here. It's so fun. I'm going bring up dicks every time I need to get quiet in this. Dicks. And y' all all have them. That's the weird part. Why is everybody so tense? I'm the only one that don't own one and I'm like, I'm good.

[A]

You might pop the trunk on him.

[B]

I'm about to kill this. Are you crazy?

[A]

Yes. Not to get all extra political, but I think it should be noted that Jerry from Ben and Jerry's has left the company. He let. He left a note. The note is deep. Like to hear it? Here it goes. Yes, it's with a broken heart that I've decided I can no longer, in good conscience and after 47 years, remain an employee of Ben and Jerry's. I am resigning from the company Ben and I started back in 1978. This is one of the hardest and most painful decisions I've ever made. This isn't because I've lost my love for the people at Ben and Jerry's. Quite the opposite. The folks who show up every day in our factories, scoop shops and offices are some of the most passionate, caring, and values driven people you'll ever meet. They are the soul of Ben and Jerry's. What has made their work so important to me and what allowed the company to be more than just an ice cream company was the independence to pursue our values. Which was guaranteed when Unilever.

[B]

Unilever.

[A]

Which was guaranteed when Unilever bought the company. For more than 20 years under their ownership, Ben and Jerry stood up and spoke out in support of peace, justice and human rights, not as abstract concepts, but in relation to real events happening in our world and real Ben and Jerry's people. Always with them. Because of that, let me say, it wasn't just the ice cream thing.

[D]

Right? That's a fact.

[A]

That independence existed in no small part because of the unique merger agreement Ben and I negotiated with Unilever. One that enshrined our social mission and values in the company's governance structure and perpetuity. Perpetuity. See, that's real important.

[B]

Yeah, it is.

[A]

It's profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone. And it's happening at a time when our country's current administration is attacking civil rights, voting rights, the rights of immigrants, women, and the LGBTQ community. Standing up for the values of justice, equality, and our shared humanity has never been more important. And yet Ben and Jerry's has been silenced, sidelined for fear of upsetting those in power. It's easy to stand up and speak out when there's nothing at risk. The real test of values is when times are challenging and you have something to lose. Love, equity, justice. They're a part of who Ben and I are, and they've always been the true foundation of Ben and Jerry's. From the very beginning, Ben and I believed that our values and the pursuit of justice were more important than the company itself. If the company couldn't stand up for the things we believed, then it wasn't worth being a company at all. In closing, he says, it was always about more than just ice cream. It was a way to spread love and invite others into the fight for equity, justice, and a better world. Coming to the conclusion that this is no longer possible at Ben and Jerry's means I can no longer remain part of Ben and Jerry's. He's smoking his shit. If I can't carry those values forward, forward inside the company today, then I will carry them forward outside with all the love and conviction I can. With love, Jerry.

[C]

All right, so I'm getting rid of ESPN and Ben and Jerry's. My life is. My life is.

[A]

Really powerful. Powerful. Going. Going out. Statement.

[B]

Yeah. Salute to him.

[A]

Yeah. Shout out to Jerry for taking the stand. He's right. Got to do it when you got something to lose. Yeah. Means a little more. Shout out to Jerry. Shout out to Ben and Jerry. Lovers out there.

[C]

Shout out to all the people fighting a good fight.

[A]

Yeah. Word. Y. Y' all are more important than you've ever been.

[C]

Word.

[A]

Freeze, yo. All right, what we got? Chris Brown. They accusing Chris Brown of some. I wouldn't have brought it up because they just gonna keep doing that ball and breeze. Yeah. Like, they. I feel like people almost do that to get the story.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

So then why don't we give it to him?

[B]

Because Chris posted it himself. If they had just accused Chris of some shit, I wouldn't have thought about it. But Chris made a point to say, like, I'm done, and I'm no longer gonna do this collection. Rage baiting.

[E]

Yeah. Cause the first one was just. Yo, y' all miss me with this? Stop. Like, leave me alone with y'.

[A]

All.

[E]

Rage baiting. Shit, all that leave me alone. And then there were two stories that came out or two women that posted and went viral over it. And then after the second one, he's like, yo, I'm off this shit. I can't, No, I can't. And I, I understand. Yo, do what you got to do to just protect your mental health at this point, bro. So I'm not mad at that. But what happened? There was a young lady went to a show. She was outside the show and you know these are stadium shows, you can hear the music and shit. And she's like, I was promised vip, I didn't get in. That's all she said. She left it very vague, of course the comments and everything went, went, oh well, yeah, you didn't get in because he only likes lighter, fair skinned women and you're not. She then went back the next day after it, went crazy and said, oh, I didn't say I didn't get in because of that. I didn't get in because I got there late and I had more people than I passed. I was supposed to have been given and all. It was her fault, okay? She acknowledged that and said, yo, it wasn't. I'm not saying he was a colorist, but everybody ran with it. She also started her second day post with hey, I'm a model and any brands that want to collab. So you kind of see where that was going. That's the first one. Second. Young lady came out with a video and she said somebody promised her tickets. She got there, her and her group of girls, they didn't let them in. He's like, yo, I don't have no tickets for you. But then started to see other people get in and get passes and get their VIPs, et cetera, etc, and blamed it on him not liking a certain hue of women in his area while he's on stage.

[A]

He ain't even.

[E]

It ain't like the club, this is my vip, I'm performing.

[A]

I don't know, I think we'd be on the wrong part of history even reporting on some of this. We'd be on the wrong side of history.

[D]

Can I say no?

[C]

I think it's an important conversation.

[D]

Yeah, I do too. And I.

[C]

The conversation. I think the, the reporting on shit that ain't nothing. Like we have to be careful with that shit.

[D]

With the, with the, with just doing content, doing the Internet. I've always been a Chris Brown thing. I think he's the closest thing we're gonna get to Michael Jackson. When I would talk about him, the people would rip me apart. Like I would get emails in the comments. I can't believe as a woman you would do while they were bringing up alleged violence in the past or him being a colorist. But in the streets. It's not the same thing. It's not like I just with the breezy ball is wall to wall, bro. When he, you know how every show he gets the bitch and he lick on her a little bit and pound her. Sidebar. Where do you sign up for that? Like, if y' all gonna do that, y' all should at least have a signing board. Not for me, but for people that wanna. You should be. You should be able to pay for it. Whatever that part. When he did that, bro, it was so many that my whole section like together just like they were so upset turn their backs, like love people love him. So it's like for me, it's like that's. To me, I attribute that to just some Internet, like a lot of his hate. That's the, you know, sometimes just don't make it to the real world.

[E]

The Internet is not real life.

[D]

And I'm not taking away that. I'm not taking away from none of my sisters that had some type of situation with Chris Brown where he was being a colorist. In your opinion, that's how I felt or anybody that was suffering some violent or whatever. I'm just saying I haven't. That's not what my experience is. When I don't hear nobody talking shit, everybody seems to love him. Sidebar. If the boy of color is why the fuck y' all keep going over there?

[A]

Well, some of this, you know what? Some of this, I ain't even gonna focus on the chicks Ice talking about. Some of this goes to that Kayla Nicole girl because in her. I didn't see it when we were recording. In her caption to the video she posted of her joining Chris Brown on stage, she listed all the people that this is for. This is for the little girl in me that was a big fan and I heard the first Chris Brown. So she did all of that and then she ended with. And this is overly for my brown skinned girls.

[E]

She always doing something which brought some level of awareness.

[A]

That's, that's, that's, that's where that whole Chris Brown colorist, brown skin girls conversation kind of got brought back up again. I be feeling like I'm on the wrong side of history reporting on some of this Chris Brown for whatever he did. He ain't to my knowledge done anything since he's creating a really comfortable stadium experience for people to come out and have a good time. Wear what you want to wear, sing what you want to wear. No matter what humor you are, what complexion you are. If we talking about Chris Brown, for me, this shouldn't be nothing but a celebratory conversation right there. Second, and if it's not that, then miss me with it. Unless we got him on something. But you and your friends not being able to get into the section in the club. Don't make me fucking hold up my fucking black rights flag. Like, no, I can't.

[B]

The question for me was less about because I didn't know the accusation to have an opinion on. It was just the idea of deciding that you're just done with social media. Like, is there a point for people. I'm not mad at him.

[D]

He's left a couple times though. He always.

[B]

You two operate a little differently on social media. You pick your spots, you mute certain things. You're not a big social media person. But like me, Flip, Mona, Joe, like, we do a lot of. We're there.

[D]

I'm never on social media.

[B]

Okay. I'm taking break.

[E]

Always on social media.

[B]

Well, I guess my question was just sort of, is there anything that would push you off to be like, I'm not coming back here anymore.

[E]

I take breaks just for myself, not let nobody push me off. I do take breaks. Just where it's like, all right, let me get three weeks of none of this shit. I'll delete, beat Twitter and Instagram. Just the apps off the phone so I can't even open them. I do that just to reset. But. Right, but no, no, because this ain't real.

[A]

There's nobody that can push me off the Internet. The only time if I take a break. Yo, yo.

[E]

Yo, if I had a certain amount of money, I wouldn't ever go on.

[D]

Yeah, go ahead.

[B]

Because you don't go on much now.

[E]

I don't. I don't go on much now. You got that amount of money.

[B]

That's true.

[E]

No, I, I just, I think it's a bunch of mean spirited motherfuckers that have the benefit of typing from a computer and bots. You get what I'm saying? So that's how I look at it. I think that some of these people that might even go to a Chris Brown show secretly would be having an avatar dissing the shit out of Chris Brown. Cause they get enjoyment from just being negative online. And I think that's. I think that's crazy to Me B. Like, I really do. I think that that whole entire. Their subset or subsect of people is miserable.

[C]

Or you might be arguing with AI.

[E]

It ain't even a person today.

[A]

Yeah, half.

[E]

This is like you said, Parks AI.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Mark, the only time I've ever left social media is for, like, Ramadan. But other than that, I'm not leaving. But I make money on social media.

[B]

I've left from stalkers, but that's it. Like, it has to be something that.

[D]

Lady, you have more than one.

[A]

That ma girl was him up.

[B]

Oh, that not her.

[D]

That's a whole nother.

[A]

That ma girl drove his life a little while ago.

[B]

I've had stalkers for years. But, like, you wasn't getting like her.

[A]

Shut up.

[D]

Do like. Smart man.

[A]

No, I'm joking. He got him. Well, back in the day.

[B]

I'm sorry, Back in the day, like, back in the day back. I'm not saying back in the day I had women. I'm saying back in the day, I had stalkers.

[E]

No, you had women, too.

[B]

Perhaps. I don't know. It's all fuzzy. But what I'm saying.

[A]

Well, you just said you spent a lot of time in the Internet.

[B]

Come again?

[A]

No. Pause, pause.

[B]

Moving on.

[E]

There we go.

[B]

The Internet is a place where I. Sometimes I have to take breaks when it feels too toxic or if I feel too invested in the toxicity.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's when I. That's when I pull back.

[D]

Like, when it's like a hot topic and it means something to you anyway. And I probably should because I get really, really upset. But no.

[A]

Sometimes y' all so cute. I step back a lot of times after I throw a bomb. Hey, after I set some people on fire, throw a little fight, I put the phone right down.

[B]

That's the same.

[A]

I go sweep, vacuum.

[E]

But look what you said. That's the same they doing. They doing that. That's the exact same that they doing. They know what this going to do. Putting a little video, doing all this. Like, old girl. The first girl I talked about, bro, you. You was late with mad girls and y' all ain't have enough tickets. No, you're not getting in. You know, putting this out is going to do that. And you disappear for a day.

[D]

I'm so excited for some free shit.

[A]

I'm so old. My favorite thing to do on the Internet is to go on Instagram and read some hateful comments and hide, press, hide. Hey. And they still be thinking they eat.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

You know what's better than that one?

[A]

Hey, can't nobody see your comment, dog. I hid this out of your lawyer for comment.

[B]

I don't block them.

[A]

It's only you. Because I know they come back seconds after to see if they ate or not. You didn't eat.

[D]

Yeah, you didn't know. Jesus.

[A]

And nobody knows it but me. Look at y'. All. Y' all old as hell. Anyway, what else needs our attention? Let me see. Let me go through my list really quickly.

[D]

Oops. I had a question, but I won't ask it.

[A]

Is it about dicks?

[D]

It's about colorism. Don't worry.

[A]

Oh, no, girl, it's over. You got to take that to. Did they get your YouTube?

[D]

Did you say excited about dicks versus colorism?

[A]

That's a shame that I'm that much of a bird.

[B]

It's not.

[A]

Oh, my God. Listen, listen, y'.

[D]

All.

[A]

In a brief segment, I just want to tell you all about me. What I learned about me the other day is that I am a support hater. I'm gonna say it again for y' all and shout out to my other support haters out there. I am again, a support hater. If you've been listening to this podcast, you know I don't fuck with Jordan Peele movies at all. Not a one of them. But Thursday afternoons I get some free time. Happy birthday to Imani. It was his birthday the other day. I get a little bit of free time on Thursday. So I did buy some 330 tickets to see the brand new Jordan Peele movie.

[C]

Called Him Produced, by the way.

[A]

Produced anything with his name on it. Yes.

[E]

I've been arguing with folks with this.

[A]

So I went. Not because I thought it would be.

[E]

Great, something to do.

[A]

No, you went to Hate. I went to confirm it was gonna be as bad as I thought it was gonna be. And I wanted to come in here and talk shit. And I can't do that until I confirm that this movie is as bad as I think it's gonna be. So what? Nobody in the N330 but me. I went and bought my seven tickets and I went and sat down and I watched the shout out to my good brother Marlon Wayne. And you did a phenomenal job for the portion of the movie that I was present for. Oh, God. My girl called me at like 3:15. She tell what you doing? I'm going to see a Jordan appeal movie so I could walk out.

[B]

I told her that's hate.

[A]

I told her what I was going to do.

[E]

But he likes to walk out the movie, though.

[B]

That's.

[A]

I really do get a thrill from walking out of the movie.

[D]

I don't think I've ever done it.

[A]

Let me tell you. Let me tell you how mad I was.

[E]

I walked out of one.

[A]

Let me tell you how mad I was. The spot I wanted to walk out, I couldn't. Cuz the ain't bring the check yet. So now I'm mad that I got to say, check, please.

[D]

Oh, you at the D. And he got.

[A]

Yeah, always the D. And he got to come and do the. So I now got to sit and watch some more. However bad you think this movie is, and I know a lot of y' all don't with my movie takes, but.

[C]

Trust you me, I believe you.

[A]

If you see somebody say something good about this movie, they have been paid. They are a bot or they don't mean well for you. This movie is worse than you thought it was going to be. It looks pretty bad. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This movie is so bad. When they showed.

[B]

I left one question.

[A]

I just got one question. They showed her delugers and it was late in the movie. It's a short movie. The movie ain't but 90 minutes. 70, 60 minutes in. Here they go. Some girl. I'm out of here. Don't nobody give a. Hey, Google Gaga. Ooh, Ghouls and Goblins. I left on the monster part.

[E]

I got one question that's not bad at this. One question. Only one question. Is it worse than yes. Highest to lowest.

[A]

I didn't finish that.

[D]

What's highest to lowest?

[A]

I didn't finish this is worse than that, though. Oh, okay. That's at least high. That's the lowest you could watch. And you could laugh. You could. You could find entertainment in it.

[E]

I had to cut that one off.

[A]

This movie is so bad. Freeze.

[D]

Is it his first worst one?

[E]

I'm happy.

[A]

I hate all of his shit but this one. But I did give him $120. I paid for my six seats, seven seats, whatever it was. So I left and I was like, you know what? I feel so good. I get the support hate. Like Jordan Peele gonna always have a support hater in me. So you don't have one because he kills the trailers. He smokes the trailer.

[C]

I saw three movies with that. The preview for that shit. I said, there's. That looks like the worst movie I've ever seen.

[D]

The Marlin one, I don't know off the trailer. I just know it's gonna be great.

[E]

And I gotta shout guap. That 4,000. He's in the movie. But I won't.

[B]

You know how bad is in it?

[A]

You know. You know how bad a movie gotta be. Yo put you like this. I like football. Let me. Let's try it a different way. Because I didn't know what the movie was about. I sat down and it was football going on. I felt good. I was like, okay, okay, I can keep up with this in a matter of 10 minutes. They ruined football.

[B]

Even.

[A]

They had a. That was Tom Brady, a. That was Pat Mahomes. They had the old Marlon Wayans won eight championships. Then they had the new. That was the on fire that was coming. And he had to go to the camp cuz Marlin's about to retire. And he went over there and the goblins came out. Hey, my popcorn and my lemon pepper wings, yo. Going to the movie to just order your food and go. It ain't bad, yo.

[C]

It's not bad.

[A]

It's not. It's not the worst. Love the walk out. It's not the worst, yo. So I left. Watch that movie at your own risk. And I'm done with my. My analysis.

[C]

I wish you on the theater food.

[E]

Oh, no, the theater.

[C]

Sometimes we go to the theater just.

[B]

For the food, man.

[C]

Don't really care if the movie's good. That I would not do it with.

[A]

That movie, though Jordan Peele made. He may get out and just start taking money from people. He is stealing money from people.

[D]

Oh, my God, this movie.

[A]

You would get mad at how he stole money. He stole money. Don Benjamin is in this. Once I start knowing the. In the movie. Shout out to Don Benjamin. I was happy to see you, but I shouldn't know none of the actors.

[D]

He used to be really great.

[A]

Yeah. Wait, no, no, hold up. That's up. Don Benjamin is my man. When I see him in the club back in the day, I mean, oh, he was married, but yeah, I mean.

[E]

I should have known none of that.

[A]

I'm like, yo, they got Don Benjamin in this. Get me? Yo, that's so up. And he did a great job. Hell, Jordan Peele wrap you up, homeboy. Anyway, I'm done. What else needs are? What else needs are?

[D]

Do a good job, huh? Does the actual actors do? The actors?

[A]

Yeah, but you can't. The players can't save a bad coach. The movie is bad. The actors were good.

[B]

That's tough.

[D]

I'm just so curious to see, like, the scary part.

[B]

The actors were good.

[A]

That movie was a mess.

[B]

Joe, you mentioned players. Let's talk about Kawhi Leonard for a minute, cuz I think he may be a free agent soon.

[C]

Pablo Tori is on his ass.

[B]

Pablo Torp, a journalist?

[A]

Yeah, word.

[C]

Investigative.

[B]

Yo, and you said it earlier, you said some of the best sports info is coming outside of the ESPN universe. Yeah, this is exactly why, because we talked about it last episode that you know that Pablo's on March 9th.

[A]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[B]

No, no. I thought that was a clip for it. Yeah. Pablo basically said this looks fishy. The Clippers responded with some paperwork. Mark Cuban responded with backup. It's all on Twitter. But every time they seem to respond, Pablo responds with more fishy shooters. Yeah, and it's looking like it looks that way. I don't know who innocent a guilty.

[A]

Yes, you do.

[B]

Yeah, but it looks.

[A]

Yes, you do.

[B]

I have my thoughts, but I'm saying regardless, it doesn't look like it's gonna work out well for the Clippers. Sometimes something looks so bad that even if you write, you just look too guilty. I think they did it, but even if they didn't, it looks really, really fishy. What is the. Basically, he's a cute. The investigation has determined or suggested that the Clippers that operated outside of the the salary cap rules and the league governing rules got it with the brother and all that stuff by. By giving Kawhi Leonard endorsement deals to.

[A]

Supplement the salary for a different company called Aspiration.

[B]

Aspiration.

[A]

I have a long clip. I could play some of it if y'. All. If y' all want. You should be able to get some something from me in 2023 when Steve.

[C]

Ballmer put in $10 million through his personal LLC first reported by the Athletic Athletic.

[B]

And look, that of course combined with.

[C]

The initial $50 million takes us to $60 million. And this according to nine sources with direct knowledge of the deal as well as court filings.

[A]

Aspiration keeps on raising money from quote.

[C]

Unquote team Ballmer along the direct point.

[D]

In the timeline at which Kawhi Leonard.

[A]

Is due his quarterly payments.

[D]

Again, we saw it with payment one.

[A]

We saw with payment two. Now we see it in March 2023.

[C]

And my second source again, the former finance executive high up inside Aspiration observed something even more eye opening given personal context.

[A]

Certainly that's a scary voice inside of Aspiration knew they got an Aspiration employee.

[B]

Federal agencies were starting to look into Aspiration.

[A]

And in fact Forbes published an article in early March.

[B]

There's a new CEO.

[A]

We were constantly in awe and it's shocked that Palmer would invest in the company again. Okay, so this is a text message I got from a colleague. In all caps, Palmer put, welcome to the Tea Party, exclamation point, question mark. To which I responded. It's just honestly so insane. This whole thing is just so insane.

[B]

But on March 9, 2023.

[A]

Keep going. Yeah.

[D]

About 18 months after Ballmer put in.

[A]

$50 million at $11 per share.

[C]

$11 per share was his original investment.

[A]

That was the share price.

[C]

The owner of the Clippers didn't just.

[B]

Go back for more.

[A]

Bomber invested a million dollars more.

[B]

That just sounds evil. Dollar share price over 23. Just over $23. So more than double what he invested.

[A]

The original share price as a share price. Boy. 21, when the company was actually public. Being a good financial statement, boy, even.

[B]

If you were to believe that there.

[A]

Was no diligence done March 2023, not.

[B]

Only was this publicly known and it was all over the media and all that.

[A]

We had to give disclosures as part.

[B]

Of that investment round.

[A]

So that. That should tell you a lot. Cut it off. He. He continued, but I'm gonna cut it off because that's a long clip. I think that the clip they got the Clippers dead, right?

[C]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. He said his uncle was asking for ownership in some of the. Some of the. Yeah. Some equity in the Lakers, was it? Or maybe it was the Clippers. I don't know.

[A]

The reports are that Kawhi has tried this at every stop. He's tried it with Toronto. He tried it with the Lakers on that. Kawhi, his camp, allegedly. And ended up with the Clippers. Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada. Listen, I'm a Spurs guy.

[C]

Yeah. Pop tried to tell us.

[A]

I. I did always believe the spurs back when this was happening. Same back when he said, I got an injury. I got to sit out. I don't trust your doctors. I'm going to my doctors. Like, the spurs had too much, too much good credit with me for me to go with this young superstar player and what was going on with him. And if I'm just spilling a little bit of tea, I mean, I read up on Kawhi. Family and niggas is tough. That was back then. That was back then when it was a surprise. I think n know it now. But his family ain't chump. Yeah.

[D]

So.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Come on. You know what time it is? You know what time it is. Some of the. Some of the ramifications, the repercussions from this could be the Clippers just losing the right to have Kawhi on The team, like the NBA intervenes. That's what some of the rumblings are.

[E]

Oh, it ain't gonna be picks.

[B]

Oh, it ain't a lot more than picks.

[A]

A lot more than picks.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now this is dangerous for the league though, because who believes that the Clippers are the only one participating in this behavior? Which, which star plays?

[B]

I think they should look at the Knicks. That's where I would start.

[A]

Yo, Mark, what is up with you?

[B]

Yo, I just feel like that's a good place to start. Big market, New York Atlantic Division against the Sixers. Lots of reasons.

[E]

Yo, you had a great year. Then you just got signed for Jalen Brunson. What you could have signed for.

[A]

Yeah. I didn't hire you for this Jalen Brunson. This guy's a mess.

[B]

Jalen Brunson signed a very team friendly deal. I love Jalen Brunson. Love Rick Brunson. I'm just saying let's look at the Knicks and nobody else.

[A]

Well, if we looking at the Knicks.

[C]

Gotta look at the pictures.

[A]

I mean, Dolan. Dolan got the team team from Dolan. We got some experience with having a team. Ballmer just took his little Microsoft money, came in, put his dick on the table.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So hopefully the Knicks know how to be. Let me stop incognito, chill before I go to the game and have a hard time. They just gave me my games to find out.

[E]

Brunson got equity and Empire State Building.

[A]

God damn. Yo, but Pablo needs to relax. I don't think this bodes well for the Clippers. I do think that we see punishment coming from this. And it just so happens that the Thunder have the Clippers. 2027, 2028. Pick somewhere around there. So this does get interesting and does have interesting basketball. Basketball results that can come from it.

[E]

I think based on that, they can't do too much because now it'll be so up. I think they just going to find this out of him like on another level, take all his people picks and find them like tremendously. But you can't punish the Thunder or anybody else that acted in good faith because it's gonna be up.

[A]

I'm not talking about punishing the Thunder.

[E]

No, I know, I'm just saying. But those picks that the Thunder are getting.

[B]

Oh, let's see.

[A]

What else, what else, what else, what else? What else is important? Yo, I'mma just do this real quick because I waited up all night. One for the Cardi project check. But one A was the Brandy remix of Folded.

[E]

She went crazy.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, My God. You a Brandy fan?

[B]

I love her.

[A]

We love her up here. Listen to this. Listen to this. Heavenly angel. Listen. Now she stacks.

[C]

She just dropped a acapella.

[A]

No, she just took the beat out for the hook so you can hear how she's stacking damn music back in. I'm telling y' all something. When I get my hands on. Oh, my God. I thought they was dropping this last night. It didn't come out.

[E]

It was all over the Internet.

[A]

Brandy, that's amazing.

[E]

They got a little.

[A]

And you know Brandy know how to fold clothes. Who here think that Brandy don't know how to fold clothes?

[C]

She probably fold too much clothes in her life, Br.

[B]

She ain't for no clothes.

[D]

I don't know, Br.

[B]

She was famous.

[D]

Rounded and made him cool. I take it back. I think she ain't fold. That's what's wrong with his.

[A]

He gonna fold that from Zeus when he get him.

[B]

They sat down across from each other already.

[A]

Hey, he gonna fold. I don't care. They ain't gonna fold. What's his name? Lamel. Lamella. La him up here. Huh? Huh?

[D]

We need him up here.

[A]

Ask him why he all the. From Zeus allegedly up there. N. You can't come up here. You can't share space with me and Mark and is. It's.

[D]

I like that, though. That was.

[A]

That's my man. I got to do it. I got to do it. Yo, thank you for loving me through my ridicule of you, too. Like, I appreciate that. What was I talking about? Oh, Brandy folding clothes, right? Yeah. No, she know.

[C]

You guys see that Fire. Fire Fest sold.

[A]

What? Shout out to our boy Billy. Somebody got.

[C]

Got Limewire.

[E]

Yo, Billy is All right. Hold up. Hold up to Limewire.

[C]

Limewire. Limewire still exists.

[A]

Hold on.

[C]

Apparently. And they bought. Bought Fire Fest. This is like scammers buying scammers.

[E]

I want to see who owns LimeWire.

[C]

That's a good question. I didn't go that deep in my investigation.

[D]

Like D Fry Fest. Like Ja Rule.

[C]

That's the one. Yeah, that's the one.

[E]

Brothers Julian and Paul Zedemire.

[A]

Some dudes.

[E]

Yeah, some dudes. And they now. Oh, they now operated as a crypto focused company for music nft.

[A]

Oh, got it, got it, got it. You got it, big dog. Got it. Anybody care about the HOV casino rejection in Times Square?

[B]

I just like the meltdown.

[A]

The dude had Caesar's palace and yada, yada, yada.

[B]

I don't know enough about it to know whether it's a good move or not so I don't want to speak on it, but I'll just say the meltdown. No, I really don't know. But I ain't scared. I just don't know. But the dude that had the meltdown when all the people voted, was it 4 to 2, it got voted down or whatever? 4 to 2? No. Yeah, yeah. I thought that was just watching the white man meltdown was entertaining to me. But I don't know the details enough to know.

[E]

I mean, mean makes me so entitled.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

When they don't get their way, it's just comical.

[A]

Well, what details you need to know? Besides, HOV was partnering with Caesar's palace and somebody else to put a casino in Times Square.

[E]

I want to know why they.

[B]

I don't know if it was good for the. I don't know if it was good for the city or not. That's.

[D]

Was that good for the people or not?

[B]

That's the part I don't know.

[A]

That's what I want to ask y'.

[D]

All.

[B]

I don't. I ain't do my homework on it. I don't know.

[A]

Look at you, bitch ass. Have a brief. Ain't good for the people.

[B]

I mean, my gut says no. I don't like to speak on things.

[E]

How do you make that determination that it's not good for the people? What is a casino designed to do?

[C]

I do have. I have an update. I have an update.

[A]

Let's get an update first.

[C]

This is via the RIAA page. Congratulations. I am Cardi B. Her brand new album, Am I? The drama is out now and already RIAA certified platinum, featuring the certified nine times platinum hit Wahop it.

[B]

That's all wop.

[A]

Wow. Stop it. I'll wait for the real report.

[B]

Okay, that's all.

[C]

That's from Ria.

[A]

That's like when HOV was platinum cuz he sold Samsung.

[C]

That's real. I'm not saying it's not a joke.

[B]

But you get the album on a. What album you got on that Samsung magnet card of Holy Grail again.

[A]

I said it last week. I'll be doing 12 albums ever. I'll be back for the second week.

[B]

Can we talk about Devin Haney?

[A]

We didn't finish talking about the topic.

[B]

I apologize. I thought. What do you think, Joe? Is it good for the community?

[A]

A casino in Times Square? I'm against anything new going into Times Square. I'm against Times Square. I'm against everything that's going on in Times Square. Nor did I think a casino would fix it. But I ain't want to say nothing about it.

[C]

Put the porn shops back.

[A]

He trying to get his shit off me.

[E]

I don't.

[A]

I ain't a gambler. I ain't going up there. All them niggas is dirty. It's a mess. In time.

[B]

I don't like it in Times Square, but I don't know if it's actually bad for the community. I don't like it because I like it provides jobs for me. It's about the congestion and all of that. I don't know. I don't know enough about casinos in New York to know whether it'll create more.

[A]

If somebody say that, if somebody say that we are doing something that could provide, let's call it 3,000, 5,000 jobs for people. Do you think that's worth a casino going to Times Square?

[B]

It depends on what's on the other side of it. That's what I'm saying. That's the argument Amazon makes. That's the argument that all the big box retailers make. We're gonna create 3,000 jobs, but they don't mention killing mom and pop shops. They don't mention destroying the tax base. There. There's. I'm just saying it's not automatic that something creates jobs. That is good. I need to know more details. Again, I don't know enough.

[A]

I don't like that example only because Amazon and Netflix shout out to Netflix. They just built in New Jersey what looks like some beautiful.

[B]

Yes, they do.

[A]

These people pick places, areas of a town or neighborhood that could improve from them being there when Amazon was hold up.

[B]

That's not why they pick it.

[E]

It's not why they pick it.

[B]

That's not why you think. Amazon says, where can we best for the community?

[A]

They say it's up over there.

[E]

We can get it for the cheap.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Today there has been situations where Walmart comes in. Walmart comes in and they. With the whole infrastructure of said town that operated on its own and people leave. You know, when you look back on it, the people that live there, born there, they have a nasty taste in their mouths because of the way they do. Especially when you talk about. You figure out places like corporations like Walmart have had insurance policies on their employees. Employee ain't making. Don't even know your fucking husband. Eddie dies and they cash out on him. The corporation has been underpaying them all them fucking years, treating them like shit. Cashes out and double like, come on, bro.

[A]

What I'm telling you is this. When Amazon wanted to go to Astoria, the homeowners of Astoria, number one, were very eager for that to happen because it raised their property value.

[E]

Some yes, some no. Not true. Some yes and some no. Know, they. A lot of homes fought them.

[A]

There were outcries. I'm sure there were people on both sides.

[C]

There was a lot of people that did not. There's someone who lives there and has lived there for 15 years.

[E]

And there were a lot of people.

[A]

There were also people that were very upset that all of those jobs were leaving Astoria. And Astoria was mad that certain tax breaks that would happen would not be able to happen. There was a lot going on there. None of that exists at Times Square.

[E]

That's not true.

[A]

Stop it.

[E]

Yo, my thing is you sound like.

[A]

HO Hov up there.

[B]

That's not true.

[E]

How I sound like hov? I said one sentence. I said that's not true.

[A]

You do sound like Hope, though, in general.

[E]

Yo, dog.

[C]

Reasonable double, too.

[B]

Yeah, I haven't yet.

[A]

And I'm not for the Hov you want to be.

[E]

Yeah, I don't want to be hov. I'm not. Anyway, we go my story, fam. I just haven't heard enough of information as to why it's not a good thing. Like, anytime somebody talks, they talk from this emotional place. Yo, that's fucked up. Tell me why. Well, I'm not opposed to saying that it's fucked up. If you prove to me why it's.

[B]

The arguments are congestion, destroying the cultural life in New York, negative effect in broad way.

[E]

That was the one I heard.

[B]

Increased crime and gambling, prostitution, also destroying local businesses, dismantling, like local business owners. Again, I don't know enough to know if that's true or not. But there are good arguments, but I just haven't vetted them. So I don't. I don't.

[E]

The one good argument was the entire Broadway was against it because they said basically it's gonna take from their tourism base that people that come here for tourism are now gonna go gamble as opposed to go to Broadway. And my.

[C]

It may be true.

[E]

It might be true.

[B]

Maybe casino.

[E]

My thing is this. The people that want to go to Broadway, they're gonna go to Broadway. If that's your intent. I go to Broadway often. The people that want to go to Broadway go to Broadway. I don't go get gamble when I want to go see a play. If my objective is to go see a play, I'm going to go see a play. So I don't necessarily.

[A]

That's some of what Hov was saying. I just don't Know if that's true.

[B]

And that's all I'm saying. I don't know.

[A]

I'll play the clip that Marcus talking about with homeboy going crazy, and I'll play a little bit of HOV talking. And this is the SL Green CEO Mark Holiday. And everybody else runs and hollies go running high because what you did, the.

[B]

Benefits you denied this community and this.

[A]

City and state, you have to live.

[B]

With that history forever.

[A]

See, that's the part where you lose me, dog. We talking about Time Square savior. All of that. The benefits that you have denied the.

[E]

Good community and all of that.

[A]

Dog, they're talking about time Square one and two to issues Broadway Point. I think that there's classism involved with Broadway. I think that the people that own them buildings that get into the Broadway bag. Yo, anybody that ever tried to come down 9th or 9th and make a right on 46, it's a nightmare over there. Yeah, it's a nightmare when they doing it in a Broadway bag. You can't move. I think that they like. I think that they like it like that.

[E]

So now how I think that they.

[A]

Like Broadway and all of those consumers packing over there without having to worry about what the fuck they doing in the.

[E]

In the middle of time zone. I'm not in disagreement with that. But with that being said, when you turn on 44th and it's packed and all that shit is over there, how do you now take congestion and make it an argument for the casino?

[A]

Well, Jay's argument is the casino would help clear up some of the congestion.

[E]

That's my point.

[A]

Let me play a little bit of what he had to say. Let me play a little bit of this whole Clear. Where you going? Look at my son trying to come and leave real quick. Where you going? Oh, yeah, you got a freestyle. Go ahead. Good luck. I love you. I'm going send you some money too.

[D]

That's funny.

[B]

Make sure you send.

[A]

Put that 150 on that.

[B]

Make sure you send them.

[E]

Put that 150 on top of that.

[A]

All right, here we go. Here we go.

[B]

Later.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

If you can tell by she's from the Bronx, I'm from Brooklyn. This is what New York really looks like. The programs, things that we've done and not.

[A]

I hate Jay's cold. Switching voice highlight.

[B]

What we would like to do with the casino, but something scholarship.

[A]

That's my man child fair.

[B]

We're six years into reform. These are things that we, you know, we do naturally because it's who we are. So the alignment with Caesars and SL Green, it was important for us that.

[A]

These things are included.

[B]

You know, obviously, I came up through sports and entertainment.

[A]

Sports.

[B]

Well, sports, too. I built my career around entertainment and culture. Homegrown talent from Brooklyn in the Bronx and, you know, the things that he's built within New York.

[A]

And then Times.

[B]

Square being the perfect place for us.

[A]

I don't.

[B]

I think that trying to reserve myself from the. It's a very good idea, very good alignment for us to fulfill the promise of Times Square. And it goes beyond gaming bus. If you look at the work that.

[A]

We'Ve done, even with the NFL and.

[B]

How we've presented culture to the NFL, there was never a hip hop artist that had mine. Super Bowl.

[A]

There's another minute left on this clip.

[C]

And then I've got thoughts.

[A]

But if y' all was the board, y' all was the time.

[C]

I think Hope should get his casino. And I think Hope does a lot for the culture and community. Of course, I think trying to sell people on the casino, being one of those things for the culture in the community is a little bit of.

[A]

So it's a tough sell.

[C]

It's a. It's a reach. It sounds like a reach. Maybe there is something there.

[E]

But I think it on.

[A]

Depends.

[E]

Depends on the other initiatives that you. Because everything is give and take.

[C]

Sure.

[E]

Like, especially in politics, everything is give and take. We gonna give you these 10 things. You gonna give us these five things. Whatever the case may be. I don't know how they outline the things that they are willing to give to the community.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

What I wanna say is that.

[E]

But Jay Z, to me, sound like he was just saying a bunch of words.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

He ain't really say nothing.

[A]

I don't want to bring light to the affordable housing situation. That came from the bartender. I think I've done that before up here. I don't want to continue to do it.

[B]

And that's.

[A]

I'm. I'm with y'. All. Let's say selling the Times Square people on culture. And hey, we're from New York, and this is what it could do for the city. When you're talking about Times Square in particular. Exactly. That's where I think the big problem is. You talking about Times Square, dog. Yeah.

[E]

That does that automatically.

[C]

You got to talk about Time Square culture.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

You know what I mean? Like, I think that would probably hit home a little bit better in this sales pitch.

[A]

Yeah. I just think how he pitched this. If.

[C]

If talk about what's going to do for the Eminem store and the Broadway people not like, what is it going.

[A]

To do for New Yorkers? Yeah, yeah, you got to get on your Mami. That's the name, right? I'm up. My man, he kicking their ass.

[B]

He whooping they ass right now. He's kicking.

[A]

He's. He's smoking they boots.

[B]

Yeah, he just started a new video series. The job's unfinished. The job's not finished.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it.

[D]

And he's a basketball player.

[B]

No, he's. He's running for. Running for mayor. Mayor in New York.

[D]

I thought I met him at Fashion Week.

[A]

What you doing in Fashion Week?

[D]

I went to the mic. I went to the Trap Star, a fashion show for a clothing line called Trap Star. And we went to, like, a party or something.

[B]

Okay, forget it.

[C]

She was party there.

[A]

Never mind.

[D]

What were you about to say?

[A]

No, I just thought you was doing some lit shit. You just. You talking about some shit.

[D]

What the fuck? I've never. I've never been to Fetch Wig, and I figure it was somewhere I need to be, so next year you could give me tickets to the right places.

[A]

Oh, I don't know where to go. I just learned how to dress the other day, and that's debatable.

[D]

You mean look cute.

[A]

Thank you. Thank you. I think you look good, too.

[C]

Oh, and you guys match a little bit. I see this now.

[D]

The feats, the feet, we don't match at all. The feats I have on a D to C. Has on Gucci.

[A]

Well, colors and your good times. Gucci's talking. All that look I ordered.

[D]

Is it here? I've been asking for products for an hour. Where's the asking for what? Prilosec. I've been over here dying.

[B]

What's wrong?

[D]

I have asked for acid reflux.

[A]

Same.

[D]

It's been whooping my ass for like an hour. I wanted to cry a little bit. Y' all couldn't tell.

[A]

I got quiet and you wanted to talk about dicks. Yeah, with that.

[C]

Acid reflux is a bad combination.

[A]

Acid reflux.

[E]

That's funny.

[A]

Oh, my Lord. Girl, that's funny. Sit your ass down somewhere. I'm a trooper.

[D]

Quitter.

[A]

Let me see, let me see, let me see. Where's my list? Where's.

[B]

Where's.

[A]

Where's my list? Let me see.

[E]

While you look for that, I want to shout out. I'm happy personally.

[D]

What?

[E]

Live Nation and Ticketmaster got sued by the ftc. Finally.

[A]

Us up.

[C]

Oh, I wasn't talking about the Live Nation ticket master part.

[A]

I'm more I'm like whoever's making.

[C]

Whoever's letting the bots buy all the.

[E]

Tickets should be and and we guys. I can't turn the other. I let the bots buy them up. You're up. The regular consumer so good.

[B]

I don't even look at Ticket Master no more cuz I'm so. I'm so discouraged by the bots.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

You can't even go to se at all the other sites. Really. Cuz it be botting it up too.

[B]

I just now I just waited didn't go to secondary ticket and I hate that Cuz a lot of people can't afford to do that or don't have the time to to to track it down.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It screws up everything for this.

[C]

Yeah. It's annoying as so I'm.

[E]

I'm there some good news in come for the.

[C]

The shoe sellers next.

[E]

Yep. Get them next.

[C]

I mean salute to y' all the major bread.

[A]

But that's it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

What I don't have nothing else super important to me that I need to get off my chest.

[E]

If Live Nation Ticketmaster are in cahoots. I'm definitely for the lawsuit. I'm not against other individuals buying tickets and reselling them.

[C]

I'm not on a micro level. I'm completely cool with that. But when you have a machine that buys up a bazillion tickets. Jacks up the price six times over.

[E]

Indeed.

[B]

How about just like I want tickets to a show so I buy them. You want tickets to. You buy them. I hate. I hate the idea somebody's gonna buy 100 tickets even if it's not a bot and then go and sell them for twice the price. I just hate that.

[C]

Twice.

[B]

Right. If you're lucky. Because people just. I know how I bought Erykah Badu seats. Actually I got an extra pair I need to actually sell or get to. Somebody worry.

[A]

I'm about to say. Let's not talk down on this before I get my knick tickets to sell.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

I was about to say yes.

[A]

I'm market.

[E]

We're not talking about resell. Do it for your Philly seats.

[A]

My Philly seats? Yeah.

[B]

What do you mean?

[E]

Like for. For the Sixers. Like the games that you might not want to go to. You might give them away or sell them.

[B]

I'm selling my seats. He's not against secondhand ticket market. I'm gonna get somebody buying and hoarding tickets. Yeah. The company. And then selling them. Yeah. So that people can't get access to them. And then selling them for Ticket masters.

[A]

Robbing in the daytime.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Without a flashlight.

[B]

I agree.

[E]

So I'm not with that. I'm saying individual purchases of tickets and that's your hustle to resell your seats.

[C]

And that's completely fine.

[A]

That's what we talking about.

[C]

Yeah. We're talking about the bots that are buying up a bazillion.

[E]

I said I'm against the big business. Ticketmaster and Live Nation and cahoots doing the goofy shit. But I'm not against me or you getting together. We put our bread together. We buy 100 tickets or 50 tickets or whatever the case may be and resell them. I'm not against that, bro.

[B]

Yeah, I am.

[D]

Is the difference. Difference?

[E]

It's not the same thing. Because Ticketmaster or these bots have a different level of influence and money, where the day that the tickets go on sale, they can swipe them shits out immediately, within milliseconds. You can't get no tickets.

[C]

It's scalping. It's legal scalping.

[D]

The way it feels to me is like. The. The difference is the way it feels to me is the difference.

[A]

Hold on. Hold up now. Come on.

[B]

It's still a family show. Yeah.

[A]

You putting your mouth on the mic.

[D]

I didn't mean to put my mouth on the mic, but how close do I keep.

[A]

But your mouth is touching the mic. You just got.

[D]

I apologize. Give me some aim toward the mic. Give me a Lysol wipe so I can disinfect it. I apologize, fellas.

[A]

Well, nobody's.

[D]

What I was saying was.

[A]

Write it down. That's just the case.

[B]

That's a double disc. Cause.

[C]

Oh, shh.

[A]

He's such a dick.

[B]

I'm standing up for you.

[A]

I want you to.

[B]

That's what he meant it. I got you instead of, you know.

[D]

And they kind of tell you how you do your first day. Instead, I'm going tell all you how I'm going tell y' all how y' all did my first day.

[C]

Oh, please.

[B]

Please do. That's a good way to round up.

[A]

Yeah. What did you think of your first day, actually? Oh, give us a little bit.

[D]

Where's my camera?

[A]

How'd you feel? All of them are yours?

[D]

I did hell. Loud. Loud. Okay. Nobody tells you nothing, right? And then they, like, say little. They got their own little inside jokes. Then it's like. And you walk up and they like. You know, they saying. They say one. One say, prospect. They'll go. Prize picks. Ain't nobody tell me. I'm just standing here. Everybody's saying, in unison. I'm just standing here, but you. It feels like being the only kitty cat in here. That's how I feel.

[A]

That's what you think.

[D]

I'm a big dog.

[B]

Let your finishing start.

[D]

Please excuse me.

[B]

Watch your finish.

[D]

[D]

I would appreciate a briefing, you know what I mean?

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Like let a know what's what, you know. Don't just throw me in there. And I. I walked in these was already on camera. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They don't do no 1, 2, 3. You know what I mean? You think you talking to somebody about the little bump on your foot. You turn around, this pull like that's a fact.

[B]

That.

[E]

That is true. You'll learn that. I ain't gonna hold you. Can't nobody prep you for that one. You, you just.

[A]

That's different right there.

[D]

That doesn't require any crap. But you my. I can't know about the little Y' all say at the same time. Pr. I can't get the little booty.

I got a question. Who feeds you at your show?

[D]

Don't do that. You know the budget.

[A]

Don't come over here expecting. I mean, if you, if you. If you starving on your.

[D]

This don't even look like this ain't Even where. I don't even record places like. Look at. Show them how I look out there like that.

[B]

You see?

[A]

They did.

[D]

Yeah. Come on, now. I don't record places like that.

[A]

We joking around, but I. I enjoyed your first day.

[D]

I'm just joking. I'm having fun.

[A]

And it's only half. It's only. Only half the day.

[D]

I ain't going to put no numbers out there, but I'm going tell you this, y'.

[A]

All.

[D]

I said, what time is this? Over the gave me an hour, I said. And then it wasn't nothing else. They was serious about that.

[A]

Yeah. This is like half the day. I seen you getting kind of tired, slouched already.

[D]

My feet up here.

[A]

How long. How long when you. When you pot, how long do you normally sit in one setting?

[D]

I mean, on some real. If I'm really getting them in, I do four or five. Life. It just depends.

[A]

All right, so you build.

[D]

As long as I go mentally in knowing what I got to do, you know, I will say a. Did not know it was going to be dark when it was time.

[B]

How long is your episodes where you go, hey, Po.

[D]

Hey, Po, tell him. Stop asking me. I'mma start just communicating with you.

[A]

Let's see how far that get you.

[D]

So funny what you say.

[B]

How long? You just say you do four or five.

[D]

I try to keep them like 45, five, 50 minutes. I feel like people don't pay attention. I don't have long answers.

[B]

So you do four episodes. You do you still. That's like four or five hours.

[C]

So it's like one of our episodes.

[B]

Like one hour. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

[A]

What do you have to.

[D]

Y', all?

[A]

What do you have to say to the people out there that are familiar with you and are familiar with us and think that this is a catastrophe waiting to happen?

[D]

Oh, my God. Why do you guys feel that way?

[A]

Well, because of me and my. That. Forget it. Well, it's not, is it?

[D]

Is it.

[A]

It's because of me. They think that.

[D]

Well, I mean, you know. You know, when you're in the. Involved in a situation, you always won't feel yourself. And I saw a lot of people say, like, I'm way too ghetto. And I'm. I saw a lot of people say, oh, that I don't know how to, like, have second seat. And I'm too like, ah. So basically, y' all gonna get tired of me because I'm always trying to like. But that's the thing. One thing I noticed about this too like we were talking about people just on the Internet. They don't know is like, I started off with two guys with huge personalities where I had to shut the up. And I also had to know to take the cue when it ain't a. We just going to debate. Like with that show, it was like, no. At 53 minutes, shut the up. Because now we going to do our thing, you know?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

So if I started that way, you know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Not to mention, like.

[A]

And if they fired your ass, then, you know, I ain't about. First of all, I ain't about to.

[D]

First of all, if you act up over here. I don't know if I ever really said this on camera. I never got fired. I really did and I never got fired. They just took me out the group message. No, but a lot of people know that. A lot of people think that, though. And that's. That's what was.

[B]

So what did happen? You just. It just.

[D]

No. And, and, and, and I wanna, you know, I don't wanna ruffle no feathers or nothing with low. Low, my brother. I fuck with low. But me and Lo had to get there. Cause it was fucked up, you know, that's just the truth. And basically we. We was just. We was rolling and literally, good morning.

[A]

Morning.

[D]

Later, it just stopped like that. And that was just that. And then really the truth is I never told anybody. That's the producer that worked with them before. He must have seen it coming. So he kept trying to tell me little stuff to say to kind of try to let them know that I wonder, whatever. And I would like really do what he said. He said, call him and tell him you willing to travel. Call. Hey, just let y' all know I'm feeling trapped. Call him and tell him if you travel, you will in the room with me. Hey, if I go travel, I'm willing to run with him. And then finally it was like the last time, it was like, I think low or one. I was like, oh, you should maybe should focus on yourself or something. And I think we did another one, another one. And then they said, stop speaking.

[B]

But it was when your boss says, maybe you should focus on yourself.

[D]

Yeah, but another thing, another important. To be fair, I was never a co host or hired as host. I was just a guest host. I was just supposed to be a guest there for a few episodes or whatever. It was never like a permanent thing. And another thing is when they stopped having me on there, they went from me to celebs. So I feel like that was like a You know what I mean? It's not like they went for me to another. Another people. The other guy that was on there, that was more of a business thing. And then, you know, it stopped being me. But, I don't know. It. It was, like, rough because Barstool's fan base is real, like, white. And, you know, I mean, they was writing me stuff like, back to the welfare office, you go. Or you should have sucked their dicks out. It was like that got hate mail and everything. Yeah. And people.

[B]

You don't get any of that. There's no hate mail. There's no misogyny. There's none of that in our fan base. That's the good thing.

[E]

No, you'll get no negative. You'll get no negative comments. Nothing like that.

[A]

It's all up.

[D]

This is the thing, though. First of all, even back then, this is what I need y' all to know. I am the only person that was on that podcast that never said. I've never had an interview. I've never, like, I don't give a. And I'm not gonna read no comments. And this don't scare me. You know what I mean? It's like. It is what it is. There's no way that I could. I could let move me. And if they did, they would never see it. Like, I'm proud like that. You feel me? So they never was gonna see me get on my platform.

[B]

Lip shaking.

[D]

Are trying to start my new show. Cause they won't let. I just kept it the moving and went to the next situation. And looking back on it was the perfect thing to do. That's how me and Low were able to still have a relationship. Because if I'd have went on this tour of like. And people do it all the time. You watch Build these platforms.

[A]
