Date: December 24, 2025

Overview

In this pre-Christmas episode, Joe Budden and his eclectic crew—Ice, Ish, Parks, Queen's Flip, Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, and others—gather for an episode that is a mix of hilarious banter, thoughtful reflection, and cultural analysis. The discussion centers on the holidays, gratitude, and significant recent events in hip-hop, sports, and pop culture—most notably Jake Paul's boxing match with Anthony Joshua (the "Zeus of Nazareth" reference), Dave Chappelle's new stand-up special, Nicki Minaj's controversial political turn, and broader conversations about "the streets," loyalty, and maturity.

The episode is infused with their trademark irreverence and humor, but also with genuine moments of vulnerability and brotherhood, as the cast reflects on personal growth, family, and the meaning of community at year's end.

[A]

What a move. What a gesture.

[B]

Yeah. That's the conversation we end up having.

[A]

You do shit like that. Yeah.

[C]

That's why I brought it up. Because I want people to know. Sometimes I get one narrative where they get one picture of you, but, like, you're.

[D]

He's a teddy bear.

[C]

So kind and generous.

[E]

Thank you very much.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like an absolute butterfly.

[A]

Cuddly. Yeah, just soft. Sweet and soft.

[D]

Charming.

[A]

Like a little crazy. Adorable is the word.

[E]

I almost teared up. I almost teared up just now. Until you started adding whatever y' all was adding to got to my heart just now and then.

[C]

You had to. They had to it up, right?

Yeah.

[B]

I thought the being kind still marshmallow cream pie.

[A]

[E]

I mean, support is important. Like Imani said, you got to support each other. And when they least expected. That was the last person she expected to see there.

[D]

Maybe not the last, but Grandma was the last.

[A]

That's part of why it's liar.

[B]

Yeah, sure, I agree. That's. That. That's what makes she just genuine.

[A]

Man, in the old school where you used to get mad points for popping up unexpected to your girl job, now you can't do that.

[B]

Now you get.

[A]

Y' all remember that these kids, these stalkers are missing out, right?

[C]

You can't do.

[A]

If you pulled up to your girl job unannounced, if you was a real slick, you might have been on the phone with her.

[B]

Want to walk?

[A]

You see it? How was that back in the day? Hold on.

[B]

The keys in my coat.

[C]

Let me go.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

I ain't gonna hold you.

[E]

Oh, man, we can't do that anymore. It get looked at a little fun. I mean, you could do it.

[C]

You.

[E]

You want a tough but tight. But you know, we can't do that anymore.

[D]

Depends on the job.

[C]

Depends on the job.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Now you pop up.

[E]

What job can you not pop up at?

[B]

You pop up to take them to lunch. That.

[C]

Yeah, that's the move now.

[D]

Yeah.

You can't just show up.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Pop up and surprise them for lunch is good.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

I don't think I would do that. When you live with somebody, you don't really want to surprise them no more. No, I just saw you. No, not at work.

[E]

I'm lying.

[B]

Mark, I'm with you.

[E]

I think it'd be nice you go up to that college.

[D]

If you do do it, then it does get you bonus points.

[C]

It will give me a million points. Yeah. I'm okay. I'm okay.

[D]

You don't need the points.

[C]

I don't need the points. No bonus points.

[A]

My score good. That's how I feel about the. I miss you. Like when you just left. Right.

[D]

Cause also, you can't lie. It's right.

[E]

I mean, you can't.

[C]

Sometimes you can't.

[B]

That one is real.

[E]

I hate that shit.

[A]

I write it in a way now to which you know.

[E]

All right, nigga, I am you, you. I am you.

[B]

I am you. I am you, too.

[A]

M. Yo, that's crazy.

[E]

Have you ever did a popup like that? Like, even with shot, they pop up. Surprisingly, in Houston.

[C]

That'S a little different.

[A]

Yeah. You talking about my wife? You talking about my family? No, no, I ain't. No, no, that was at some point, the pop ups come to an end. At some point, you pop up and you seen too much.

[E]

Right.

[A]

Sometimes you pop up because when you was doing the pop up, sweet. Chances are you popped up during an argument, too.

[C]

Now, how do y' all feel if your lady pop up on y' all mine.

[A]

Do it.

[B]

You see her just walking here?

[C]

[A]

You don't be knowing when she.

[B]

No, I don't be knowing when she coming in here. Oh, you just pop in. I'm like, oh, hey, what up?

[A]

When Rem coming. You know she's coming.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

W.P.

[B]

That'S W.W.

[E]

It feels good, but I love it. I would like my wife to pop up on me.

[D]

I would have no problem if she did, but she usually lets me know.

[C]

Yeah, I wouldn't have a. I mean, she don't know where the studio is, so.

[E]

Mind neither, boy, I'd be a little concerned. Mine neither. Boy, they don't know.

[C]

They don't want to stay aflip. They don't want to stay in point. They want to.

Oh, listen, listen. It was a champion. Whoa. I don't know her background. What is she?

[C]

I'm not sure. It's Polish.

[A]

You said she was. No, no, no, no, no. Her opponent was a white girl.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

And she looked like she'd been training polisher.

[B]

Yeah, I was me.

[A]

No, I'm saying if the person with the belts is not Polish or white, the person she was fighting was white. I don't know if she was Polish, but she was white.

[E]

Alicia. Alicia Baumgartner was the.

[A]

She looked like. She looked like a sweetheart. Like, if you catch her in the coffee shop, like, she looked like. She looked like. Yeah, exactly like she had trained. She knew that she shouldn't have took the fight, but she's a tough, brave white woman. And then they just showed the highlights from the champ, and it looked like danger. Danger just from the clips. Then the champ walked in mad in shape, like, a lot more. It just looked like levels. It looked like, okay, y' all had to find somebody tough enough to fight this girl. And when the fight started look like that, this girl beat the absolute dog shit out of this white girl.

[B]

Yeah, I'm looking.

[A]

She absolutely dog walk this white girl who you got it you started to feel bad for because she looked like. If you catch her just in the grocery store.

[D]

Nice lady.

[A]

Yeah, man. She got a family that loved her. And round by round, talking about technician, technical. Boom, boom, boom. It just was bad. It was really, really bad. It was really bad. But always a great time to see a white boxer get beat up like that. So it was still lit.

[D]

It's a good night of that.

[A]

It was. It was still lit.

[B]

Yo, you do that?

[A]

Do what?

[B]

Like, if I catch some shit, right? This is horrible.

[A]

Whatever.

[B]

I catch some shit. I could be watching Family Feud. Family Feud be borderline racist. Like them niggas. I had a black family versus the white family. You being.

[A]

Get the.

[B]

Get the motherfuckers family in a boxing match, anything am I cutting on? And the ethnicities is different.

[D]

[C]

Yeah, okay.

[A]

You fucking ain't right.

[B]

Yeah, if I don't have no like, I'm a fan of some white people, but if I ain't just. You fucking right. I'm going with the what?

[C]

Me too. I'm just curious.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Nah, you ain't gonna trick me into getting deep this motherfucker. Why are you curious about that?

[C]

Because I don't know how people think of. Like, some people, like when they watch a fight, they root for the little guy. Like they root for the underdog. Some people like to just see a dragon. They root for the big person. Watch your ass. I was just wondering what motivates people.

[A]

When they watch for black people?

[C]

Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's cool.

[B]

I mean, you five, six. I could get the. You rule for the little too.

[C]

If everybody the same race, I root for the little guy.

[A]

Get him.

[B]

Oh, man.

[C]

Karate Kid.

[A]

You know, I didn't think it was fair that this white lady was fighting this, this, this, this, this girl was a absolute. Yes.

[E]

Her name is Leela. The. The white lady. Lea Bedouin.

[C]

Oh, she's Arab Layla Badoon.

[A]

Yeah, you her name all the way. That is not that lady's name.

[E]

Look, Alicia Bumgar recently fought and defeated Canadian.

[C]

Stop reading Alicia. I called today to be on your side and I can't do that.

[E]

Her name is Alicia Bum Gardner.

[A]

Yo, you and Ice don't read nothing else on this show.

[E]

What, y' all niggas gonna crack jokes? You old ass niggas with bad memory.

[A]

Don'T read my pants to leave anybody. If Ish is awake. Pass he. Pass it to him.

[D]

Mark's excellent.

[A]

Myself, yeah, pass it to the doctor.

[E]

No, no. Alicia Bum Gardner.

[A]

There you go.

[E]

And one.

[A]

Anyways, any who congratulations to. To both of them. That white girl, she took a beating. God damn.

[E]

She was tough though.

[A]

That fight, that fight was so good. I was like, no way. The Jake Ball fight is right after this. They got to give me some, some, some.

[B]

A middle bumper man.

[A]

And sure enough, right on time. 11 o'.

[B]

Clock.

[A]

I think it was somewhere there. Jake, Paul, Anthony, Joshua. Oh, my Lord, this was bad. They had. I gotta. I gotta see these contracts.

[D]

I wait, but I put it on the phone because I was like, I don't think R.E.M. is gonna want to watch this. But if it gets good enough, I'm gonna have to put My foot down. It did not get good enough. It was a pretty open and shut, like. Nah, we can stay right here.

[B]

I wanna.

[A]

Before we turn. I turned that shit on right at 8:00'. Clock.

[B]

You watched. So you watched the whole thing?

[A]

I watched the entire fight, yeah.

[B]

Why you look to the fight?

[A]

No, I wasn't going to the fight. I wouldn't have went to the fight unless I had. Unless I needed to be at the fight.

[B]

Gotcha. So you know how you keep telling me to stop being in places I don't need to be in? Yes, I am agreeing with you. Because where I was at, and I didn't even know this was happening at the same time as the Jake Paul fight. They had another fight on first. They did. They did. No, I got there before Ice.

[A]

Please.

[B]

Like, I thought I was tripping.

[A]

See, that's why y' all keep dressing the same.

[C]

Oh, yeah, that makes sense.

[E]

Why y' all so suspenseful n tell.

[B]

I'm about to tell.

[C]

I'm about to tell you.

[E]

God damn.

[B]

Sorry. I don't want to take it away from Ice Party.

[C]

No, you go.

[B]

I looked up at the TV screen.

[A]

Fuck you did.

[C]

They said bitches.

[B]

I looked up at the TV screen and I saw two niggas fighting. And one nigga name was C Baby, and the other one was Crack baby. Huh. I swear to God.

[A]

Ceelo, Cee Lon.

[E]

I was like, yo, Gili Wallow.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But the ring didn't look like Netflix. I'm like, yo, I thought the fight was gonna be here. This don't look like the fight. Nah, we showing this until the Jake Paul shit started. Then we gonna switch to that. So I just wanna say all that to say.

[A]

And y' all was there together.

[B]

He got there first.

[C]

What kind of spot was this? This is like the hood. Hood?

[B]

No, not at all. That's the bad part. It's not the hood. I went to watch the fight. So when I got there, I'm looking at the shit and I'm like, yo, the fight was on. It's like 50 TVs in there, right? My man spot. It's like mad TVs. But they only had one TV showing the Netflix card. The other shits had another fight on. So I'm looking.

[E]

I'm like, look at Miller L, nigga.

[B]

Miller L. Miller L. Not gonna have Gillian Wallow or. That's for damn sure. So they. Gillian Wallow. Shouted them. They hosted an event as well. Knockout Party. If you would have seen these people's names. That was fighting. Ice is Right. Ice had to point it out to me. One nigga name was Crack Baby on the thing.

[A]

Yo, stop.

[E]

I know where you going with this.

[B]

No, I just said that to say you right. I just want you know I like to tell people when they like it.

[E]

No, you shut up and let them.

[A]

Let them say it and let's move on.

[B]

You right.

[E]

I know where you going. Stop. You right, right?

[C]

That's how you.

[E]

We ended the year, right? Them. They will fire you up. Just let's move on.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Please.

[C]

Gillian.

[E]

Salute y. You2.

[B]

Crazy.

[D]

Wait, so who won between Crack Baby and C Baby?

[C]

No, no, no.

[A]

Crazy.

[E]

We ain't too deep.

[A]

Now pay a. Two of the worst storytellers in the history of telling a story. Then they got the nerve to rep.

[C]

It was ping pong.

[A]

Anthony Joshua and Jason Paul. Yes. Please, please.

[E]

Oh, horrible fight.

[B]

Oh, terrible fight. This fight was terrible.

[A]

But they took the lead on it, too. Like, you know what?

[C]

No, no, you tell it.

[A]

You would have. What you be telling me.

[C]

You'd be right.

[A]

Yo, if you. If y' all do that again, I'm getting the water guns back.

[D]

Please do that again.

[A]

If y' all do that again, the water guns is coming back out. I promise you.

[B]

I have one, too.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[E]

That was fire. Oh, I used to do that for you.

[A]

I used to do that. Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

Horrible Joe.

[A]

Yo, so. So they had the nerve to have Anthony Joshua walk out first. The nerve, huh? The nerve? Yes.

[B]

Fuck you mean, the nerve?

[A]

The nerve. Like I said, you thought he was.

[B]

Gonna walk out second.

[A]

I think that somebody somewhere had the nerve to make him walk out first.

[C]

I get what you're saying. But he deserved to walk out second. But I get what you're saying.

[A]

Are y' all crazy?

[E]

Yeah, I feel like y' all out.

[B]

Y' all.

[C]

Fucking Mindy Joshua champion.

[A]

I'm not getting into a debate. Cause I understand what you're saying. On the entertainment side, all of that shit is cute. But what's about to happen is a fight. And it's not an exhibition fight. It's a fight.

[B]

Cool. But there's a draw, and there's not a draw. The draw is coming out last. I don't care what y' all think. I get why he did the business side.

[C]

But it's disrespectful to you if. If.

[A]

If you're right, if it were me and I were the draw and now it was time to fight the Real Life fighter, I would let him walk out. I would walk out first.

[B]

No, you're not fucking.

[A]

We don't even need to debate my train of thought. When I saw homeboy walk out first, First I said, oh, now it's gonna be real bad. Now it's gonna be real bad because you let this. Who's shaped like Zeus of Nazareth or some shit. Zeus of Nazareth.

[D]

I think it's the perfect title for this.

[A]

That's it. That's it. That's it. He walks out like some type of fucking Greek God.

[B]

He did.

[A]

Every head turns. If you were unfamiliar with him, which a lot of them people were, they. They gain understanding fast. Every girl's mouth drops to the floor.

[C]

My wife sat down.

[A]

That's what happened. He had Freeway with him. Doing. Even though what we do is wrong, we still have.

[C]

If you didn't know.

[A]

Hey, all the white people watching. If you didn't know. That is an ancestral black calling song.

[B]

Yeah, that's the anthem.

[A]

It's deep in it. It's the chakras. Not a fucking anthem. It's the chakras. He. Whatever y' all think. Meek Mill, Dream and nightmares is 10.

[B]

15 years before it was that.

[A]

It was this.

[D]

And kind of still is.

[C]

Still.

[A]

Definitely still is. So he's talking. You made me come out first. I'm coming out with Freeway.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You know what this song means? I'm angry already. Like, I had a date. I'm supposed to be at the club. I got other engagements. But fuck it. Let's get to this. And he's standing in the ring just being big. Six foot six.

[B]

Unbothered.

[A]

230. Yeah. Yeah. This is a breeze.

[B]

This is. This is sparring.

[A]

He looked less stressed than me making my morning coffee. He looked less stressed than a bird finding bread on the sidewalk. He looked like it wasn't a stress or stress fracture.

[D]

No, his stress was. How do I not kill this person?

[C]

Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

How can I make this last a few more rounds?

[D]

Right?

[A]

So he's just in there being big and strong and tall and everything. And now here comes Homeboy. You got on all this Hulk Hogan. Hulkamaniac. Oh. And this is why I be rooting for white people to get beat the up. That. That. Why. See, when I say this, it don't be all the whites. You know, the whites we be talking about.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Hulkamaniac. Big fight. You know how we felt about Hulk when he passed and we found out the degree of all the bullshit he was on. So your dog whistling.

[E]

Cool.

[A]

Put that to the side. Now you coming out with Tekashi. Now you got Tekashi. With the stupid hair, stupid face, jumping all around the screen. Screen. He can perform. He always sounds good.

[B]

I ain't gonna lie.

[A]

However, he's a great one. However his vocal cords is set up. I mean, I can't hate on him. Him. He projects and he sounds strong. He's just a doof. So. And he's colorful. They all look like colorful white doofs coming to the stage. And the cameraman had the nerve to keep showing me Anthony Joshua's face during all of this mess. And he looked like. Which Rocky was Dolph Lundrin in?

[C]

Four.

[A]

See if you. Was it four residential four. It was four. It's the best Rocky.

[B]

Mr. T was three.

[A]

No, actually, I don't know if that.

[C]

Was the best Rocky. The first one is the best one, but yeah.

[A]

Stop. Don't be stupid.

[C]

The one that won the Academy Award.

[A]

I don't care what them white people voted for.

[C]

It's a great Rocky.

[A]

Don't be stupid. Don't be stupid.

[C]

You tripping.

[A]

Rocky one is not nowhere near the best Rocky.

[C]

I think it is.

[A]

Rocky one is good.

[C]

I think it's the best story. It's the best acting. It's the best.

[A]

Which Rocky is the Apollo murder?

[C]

Second one.

[B]

Four.

[C]

Oh, no.

[B]

Four.

[C]

That's when kills him.

[B]

Four.

[A]

Oh, so then. So then. No, no. Which one do you.

[C]

Because it's the rematch in the second.

[A]

When did he fight Apollo?

[E]

Second one.

[C]

The second one he fought in the first.

[A]

Nobody ever said Rocky one was the best rock.

[C]

All the people that gave it the Oscar did. You're not going to make this a crazy take.

[A]

I'm not making it a crazy take.

[E]

Like you did with.

[A]

I think it's crazy.

[E]

George Lucas and he keep doing these crazy.

[A]

I think my favorite no.

[C]

4 is a great movie. I love all those.

[A]

I thought it was always two and four. I thought it was always two and four.

[B]

I'm with that.

[C]

I think he's more like the one.

[A]

Apollo was the. The what?

[C]

As a movie.

[A]

Apollo wasn't in one, right.

[E]

Yes, he was.

[B]

He was in one and two.

[A]

Oh, I don't even remember one.

[C]

The first one he fights to a draw. The second one he actually beats him. The third One is with Mr. T. Han. The fourth one is Dolph Lundin. The five. Fifth one is with Tommy Gun. Tommy Gun, yeah.

[A]

The fifth one, we don't count.

[C]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[B]

There's five all together.

[C]

Then there's the offshoots. Then there's the offshoots. In the story of there's that Rocky Balboa thing. That came later. And then there's the Creed.

[A]

Anyway, he was looking like Dolph Lundgren in the ring, just waiting to kill and pounce upon this boy. And as soon as the fight started, it looked like it took the utmost restraint and discipline for him to not kill him immediately.

[E]

Yes, I saw that. Yes, yes. He was holding back.

[A]

He was holding back.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, I want to give Jake Paul credit because. Because it does take. You get credit to me for being able to run around a ring.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Like you did a lot of running around. That takes some energy and the bravery.

[D]

I wouldn't have gotten there with that.

[C]

For 94 million.

[A]

You would have gotten that up.

[B]

You would have gotten that. Yeah, I would have thought some bravery.

[A]

Yeah, you're right.

[C]

You're right, you're right, you're right. My bad.

[B]

And then I heard it. They. I think when they added. Correct me if I'm wrong, when they added in the pay per view, it took the possible purse up to 130. Yeah. Yep. 140.

[C]

Yep. I haven't heard.

[B]

I would have gotten there on a tricycle. Yeah. What? Yeah, I'd have really tried to fight that nigga for that much money. I think he did try. I think he did.

[D]

I think he did. Yeah.

[B]

Just couldn't do shit with him.

[C]

I think one of them is a boxer.

[A]

Oh, so if you'd have made money that night outside of Squeeze, you'd have fought homeboy that was looking for your business.

[B]

Nobody ever was looking for any business of mine. It ain't hard to find. He found you and I was there.

[A]

But you wasn't getting paid, so that's why I wasn't.

[C]

Wait, what happened in front of Squeeze?

[A]

Nothing.

[B]

A lie.

[A]

Joe about to make up.

[B]

Go ahead, though. I'll let you do what you know.

[A]

No, I told you the same lie. Million. We're not going to keep rehashing. I'll tell you. I'll tell you on the patreon. Yeah. I'm not going to call it brave. He made a lot of money. Yes, he made a lot of money. I didn't. I don't know the laws, but is it true that they saying Anthony Joshua is getting taxed in.

[E]

Over here?

[B]

Yeah, of course.

[A]

That's.

[B]

No, that's what happens in sports and. And like when I worked in.

[A]

And entertainment.

[B]

No, when I worked in the city, I was working in corporate. You pay New York state tax and you pay New Jersey state tax.

[E]

Hey, yo, guess what? Guess what, Jake. Paul live Puerto Rico. That's how much tax he paid.

[C]

Yo, just the federal. Right. Because Florida, you don't pay the state tax, Right?

[E]

So he's Texas, Puerto Rico. I think it was like, 2% or some shit.

[A]

That's part of why niggas.

[B]

That's why N go sit there trying to figure out.

[E]

And you gotta live there for about, like, six months out of the year, and then.

[C]

Yeah, six months in a day.

[D]

Okay. I make that happen.

[A]

People could do that. A breeze.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I know a lot of New Yorkers would do that.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, in a heartbeat.

[E]

Because what. So if they find out that you're not living there, they'll just reverse everything and charge you.

[C]

You hit the New York taxes.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Or whatever your local status. But on the bravery, though, I mean, again, 94 million makes it less brave to me.

[B]

Sure.

[C]

But after he caught that first one in his face, he still. He was still boxing like he was. There's still something to be said about Jake Paul fighting, taking punches is all.

[B]

He wasn't really boxing. And what I took. I thought Jake Paul would have been in better shape.

[C]

That surprised me.

[B]

He really wasn't in good shape, bro. Like, he was winded and all of that shit after the first round, like. Cause you know, boxers, when they mouth start, like, they. They wind it. He wasn't in good shape. I think he just got in there on the money grab. I thought he would have taken it more serious than that. I thought he was drunk. I was like, is this nigga hungover or something? What the fuck? Like, he can't even stand. Like, he couldn't stand up, like, deadass.

[A]

I thought he also got knocked down quick.

[C]

About to say knocked.

[B]

Nah. But some of them. It wasn't even as soon as he starts swinging. It's just like I dove at his leg.

[C]

That was the. That made it look like a stupid. Like, not a real fight to me, because I turned on the fourth round, I saw him catch a couple body shots. He caught one to the face, I think, in the fifth, and he was still boxing. But then he kept dropping to the. And I couldn't get to figure out why the ref didn't stop the fight.

[A]

By the time those body shots, by the time we got to all that. Y' all talking about, Netflix job was done.

[B]

It was. And his.

[A]

Let me tell you something. Every time they pant that camp camera around to just the audience, the stage, the light show, that was the celebrities that they had in the building. Miami is already Miami in the eco. In the. You Know what Miami is. So they brought a lot to. They brought a lot. It was a lot of money in that building.

[B]

And that's why I said that homeboy should have walked out last.

[A]

Money, well money well earned and. And well made. Money was being made in that boy.

[C]

That's a fact.

[A]

So by the time that fight came on and homeboy was falling all over the place, was having a toast somewhere.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

In the back, high fiving, getting ready for the next one.

[B]

I agree. And shout out to Jake Paul because he performed, he let up leading up to the fight. Even his way in and all that dumb shit. All of the antics, bro, that's what he did. Anthony Joshua Marshall did the complete polar opposite. And stand there like, I'm gonna break you.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like he's doing all the silly. So now it's making the audience hate him. And I want to see him get his ass whooped. Is they sold the fight, bro. The tekashi, all of that. They sold the fight. Yeah, I just think. Yeah, they did.

[A]

And he gave us what we was looking for, which was to see Jake Paul knock square in his mug, got his jaw broken and fall down on the ground.

[B]

And that just solidified the validity of the fight when he got his jaw broken. Like, you couldn't have picked a better ending.

[A]

Like.

[B]

No, they really.

[A]

There's some conspiracy theories floating around out there. I don't know what's true and what's not true. I'm just talking about what's being floated around the Internet.

[C]

What did they say?

[A]

One of them was that there was a no knockout rule. So Jake posting that with his jaw broken could lead to trying to say that there's a breach in the contract. I don't know if that's true or not. I could be spreading propaganda. But that is something that's been floating around on the Internet.

[B]

How do you put a no knockdown rule in a non exhibition fight? Not just that, we punching each other in the face, right. Like Jake Paul hit him with a nice overhand right one time. What if I would have fell out? If that's the case, we can't punch each other in the face.

[E]

So what a body.

[C]

If you use somebody enough time in.

[A]

The body, nigga, that punch that he.

[B]

Gave that boy, he really hurt.

[A]

He.

[B]

Yo, dog, they opened, they showed his mouth. That shit was. His teeth was moved over.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Then I saw another compilation vid that said Anthony Joshua's favorite punch, the same exact punch that he hit Jake Paul with, but he hit 30 other people with this same Punch. When he got peeved when something was going on, he was pissed. He hit him with that same little.

[B]

To the punching to the left, to the chest.

[A]

Long armed, strong strength to the face. And it worked 90 times.

[B]

He knew he had the punch. He smiled. He knew. It was just like, all right, I'm tired of you now. And whatever you just did pissed me off. And let's end this.

[C]

It's night night.

[B]

No one I knew it wasn't really exhibition and it was a little bit more when he was falling, he was punching that on the ground.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

But he was holding back on a lot of them.

[B]

You're not supposed to hit him on the ground. Like he was like, yo, get the, like, you know what I'm saying? He started getting frustrated. Like, get the fuck off me.

[E]

You know what I'm saying?

[A]

Like that.

[B]

I was like, oh, all right. Nah, this is something different.

[A]

Hats off. Indeed. Hats off to those gentlemen. It was entertaining. Anytime Netflix does that. For me, it's entertaining to see on a Saturday night. True.

[D]

Friday night.

[A]

I mean, yeah, Friday.

[E]

Does this deter you guys from watching another Jake Paul fight?

[B]

No, no, no.

[C]

It's been who he's fighting.

[B]

Nope, nope. I'll tell you this.

[A]

Yeah, I gotta see who he fights.

[B]

I am glad it wasn't Tank in there.

[E]

That's what I'm saying. I doubt Tank would have came out first.

[B]

I don't, not even. I'm just talking about how it would have went. I think it wouldn't went. He would have really tried to hurt him. I don't think Anthony Joshua tried to hurt him. I think he got frustrated, pissed off and just said, I'm ending this now.

[D]

Oh, I think he's also just way bigger.

[B]

But again, like you say, he was pulling punches, he wasn't trying to. I don't think Tank would have done that. I think he would have really tried to hurt this dude and it would have been a lot worse, but at.

[D]

Least they would have been roughly the same size. Actually, Jake probably would have had a little bit of size on him. So yeah, he does. I'm not saying he would win. I'm just saying that he wouldn't have maybe got his jaw broke or maybe.

[C]

It'S hard to give up. As you're saying that day on the Patreon, it's hard to give up 50 pounds and 6 inches. When you're fighting somebody, even if you're evenly matched, the size makes a difference.

[A]

And if they're not evenly matched, dog, come on, let's. Let's not be stupid and talk about the difference in. In height and weight. They different fighters.

[C]

He's going to kill him.

[A]

One of them dudes can fight for real.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And one of them could fight. Okay.

[B]

Yeah. That's true.

[A]

All of us in here could fight until we go and bump into the professionally fight.

[B]

A that's been in the gym since they was 14 years old.

[A]

His thumb on your inner thigh and break the vessel that bleeds you to death.

[D]

And don't let him be way taller and way heavier than you. Cuz it's gonna be.

[A]

Then I gots to stab y'.

[B]

All Pokey.

[A]

I gots to stab you. Don't think it's just gonna go a certain way. We gotta see. We got to see.

[B]

Pokemon.

[A]

Pokemon. Stab the out of. What do you do?

[B]

Never leave home without it. Like an air max. Crazy.

[A]

I can't believe I got arrested for having blade one time.

[B]

What'd you say?

[C]

Every Jersey dude I know. Carbon carrying a knife. That was some. I didn't understand Jersey.

[B]

That's New York. That's.

[C]

Is that New York too? Okay. All my Jersey people always.

[A]

If you want Spanish.

[C]

That's true. I'm telling you.

[E]

They not playing jaw. Yo.

[B]

Everybody can't carry guns like Pa. Bro. Bro.

[C]

That's fair.

[A]

You get what I'm saying?

[B]

So in the States that they could carry guns.

[A]

Y'. All.

[B]

They. They gun happy.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

If you get caught with a gun in New York, you are going to.

[A]

Jail for a very long time. Got you for a very long time. You know what I'm saying?

[B]

Like, yo.

[C]

So I might need to get one of them.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

Before we do the prize picks. Your man got beat up.

[B]

Come on.

[A]

ISO 1 ish. ISO 1 ish. Everybody clear out. ISO 1 ish.

[D]

You got some sad music music to play.

[B]

Yeah. For what? For your man. That ain't my man. Yo. Y' all are stupid.

[A]

Bro.

[B]

That's nowhere near my man Tate lost.

[D]

Ish.

[A]

Guys.

[E]

So how'd you feel about that's your man bro.

[A]

You were sad about it.

[B]

Yo, y' all is bro. I don't give a about no Andrew Tate losing a fight.

[E]

You just care about his, like, policies.

[B]

I don't care about that policies.

[A]

But how does this affect, like, the alpha male community?

[B]

I don't know what that is.

[A]

Ain't you the councilman of the alpha male community?

[C]

Red pill.

[B]

Not it. Not even remotely. Not even a member.

[E]

You forgot you knew the website and all that.

[B]

You forgot I knew whose website?

[E]

Andrew takes.

[B]

Did you forget? You.

[A]

You Forgot we getting that brain test done. We getting that test done on this.

[E]

You don't remember?

[A]

Maybe he don't remember.

[C]

You don't either.

[B]

It got make up.

[E]

Something he forgot is you told us the story about the war room and all that. I found out about it through you. I didn't know nothing about that whole conglomerate.

[A]

I would have never got the newsletter.

[B]

Gotcha.

[A]

This newsletter.

[E]

Probably you just probably did your research. My fault. Oh, my God.

[A]

Oh, man. He's going to say some shit like, no, I was fly with his brother, not him. Listen, Andrew Tate fought some dude who is the champion of whatever bullshit league they was fighting in. I didn't know much about him. Champ d', Amore, I think is his name. I went and watched some footage. The footage was funny. The footage looked like he was just like. The footage looked like just a guy, drunk, swinging at shit, stumbling, being dizzy. Like a guy who couldn't fight a lick. But he was the champion of whatever league he was in. So I'm not going. I ain't sleeping.

[B]

Right, right.

[A]

I ain't sleeping. But there are some funny compilation videos of him out there. So he fought Andrew Tate for some strange reason, I don't know why, and he beat Andrew Tate the fuck up.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Long ass uppercut.

[E]

That was his second time fighting.

[B]

That was their second time fighting. Oh, I didn't know that. But again, this just goes back to. Yo, it's levels to the shit.

[C]

Andrew Tate is a skilled fighter.

[B]

Yeah, but it's levels to that.

[C]

But he's a kickboxer too.

[A]

So he kickboxes. C, C, C, C. No, it's over now. What you mean? Don't come up here and skilled fighter me to death.

[C]

I'm just saying he's not Jake Paul is all I'm saying.

[B]

They might be comparable in their respects.

[A]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[B]

Okay, it might be.

[A]

Tell me what you're talking about.

[C]

And I'm not an Andrew Tate expert, so I could be wrong. Me either. But my understanding of him, at least as a kickboxer was that he was. That he was more skilled than Jake Paul was as a boxer. That's all I was saying.

[E]

I think.

[A]

So.

[C]

What was his record like? I think he led nine losses in like 40, 50 wins, something like that.

[B]

Oh, I don't know. I know, that's what I'm saying.

[C]

Like he had.

[B]

I know he fights. I don't know his record. I don't know his. His. I know he is not a stranger to fighting, you understand?

[C]

The king boxing record is 76 and 9.

[B]

Yeah, he. He ain't. No.

[C]

So he's not. That's what I'm saying. He's not. He's not. Andrew. That's what I'm saying. Now as a straight boxing, that. That conversion don't always work the same. That's what I'm saying. But that he's not.

[A]

Yeah. I need more investigation on 79 and.

[C]

9 and kickboxing now. Now MMA is what league where he was at. That's.

[A]

I don't know, Garage bandits like you just be pulling stop stats off of a. He might have been fighting crack, baby. He might have been fighting crack. Rc, baby. Like these niggas want to always vouch. I don't use the vouch as frequently as y' all use that.

[C]

Same as record was. I was just answering.

[A]

But 70 and 6, where I bet more.

[C]

He's also.

[B]

He's only sold once.

[A]

I'm sorry.

[B]

So four times. Iska, which is a legitimate long standing kickboxing sanctioning body world champion.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[B]

He's legit.

[C]

He's a trained martial artist. He's a martial artist, he's just not that. And there we are. How about that? I'm good with that.

[B]

I'm with you there.

[A]

Pull up some more, you bitches. That nigga, man.

[D]

I didn't evenall talking about algorithm.

[A]

Yeah, I watched you all year long and I don't even report on none of that. But I watched you all year long invite 90 people down to the junkyard, fight them one by one for 90 seconds. Awesome. He man with all this alpha male googly, for you to go in there and get beat the fuck up like that? Get the fuck out of here. I ain't rolling with this status statistician that they on.

[D]

There we go.

[A]

Yeah. Nah. You know how tough that was? Running around, acting, fighting the mailman. Do y' all know how a macho tough guy he looked fighting the local bail bondsman? The up with this IFC QF championship kickbox asses up enough of y' all now. I've done too much during the year. Andrew Tate, I had a blast watching him get beat the up.

[C]

I didn't even see it.

[B]

All right. Why I ain't see that anyway?

[C]

I watch his music.

[A]

Y' all didn't see the clips.

[C]

I watched him.

[A]

I don't never see nothing. I don't never see a thing. I don't never see a thing. Mute up then. If you ain't see it. The out of here.

[E]

What Andrew Tate did a few.

[B]

I could care less about going to watch an Andrew Tate fight.

[A]

Like, what the.

[B]

That ain't got nothing to do with my Nothing about that. Yeah.

[A]

N. Check your man out.

[C]

Hold up.

[B]

Yeah, obviously I didn't get the result.

[D]

I wanted, but truthfully, the result I.

[B]

Wanted was to see if I could still do it.

[D]

40 years old, 10 years retired, a.

[A]

Little bit of time in a Romanian dungeon.

[B]

There's always going to be a big ask against someone so much bigger than me.

[A]

He's sitting there looking like Martin after Hearns fight. He look bad.

[C]

He definitely got up smaller than me.

[E]

O.

[D]

Okay. Yeah.

[B]

See, I won the first two rounds.

[C]

Yeah, you did.

[A]

You did.

[B]

Kilo heavier leaning on me and SAP.

[A]

Some energy so I didn't quit. Never give up, never retreat, never surrender.

[B]

Fight to the end. Go out in your shield.

[A]

So I have no excuses.

[B]

Training camp went fantastic.

[A]

Time is the fire in which we all burn. Fortunately, a 14 year old is not.

[D]

A 22 year old, but I gave.

[B]

Him a my absolute ball. And I have nothing but respect for Chase.

[D]

I have no excuses.

[B]

I'm not going to say anything bad about him.

[A]

Shut your ass up. Your ass up. Now. We supporting. Just giving it your all. You know how long this been on? Guys giving they all your ass up. Yeah.

[C]

I ain't got no sympathy for oh my God.

[A]

And I ain't got to be for. Hey, can I. Damn it. Sorry about that. Yeah. And I don't have no beef with him neither. But it was a good weekend. It was a good, it was a good week. It was a good weekend in Fightland. Yeah.

[D]

The good guys won this weekend for sure.

[A]

Y' all look sad about it. Good.

[E]

You turned up enough for everybody. Yeah, you turned up.

[A]

Who's on y'? All, you list? Y' all got a you list? I, I, too many people.

[C]

I don't think so.

[A]

So I'm good.

[B]

Yes. It ain't gonna be long.

[E]

It ain't gonna be.

[D]

You know, there's mad people that if they were in a fight, I'll be like, I hope they lose.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Now that's true.

[D]

You and this weekend was a couple of them.

[C]

So like if, like, well, I won't say his name, but homeboy didn't get let into Turning Point the other day. Yeah, if he, like, if he was fighting anybody, I'd be rooting for the other person.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Anyway, good weekend in fighting. Shout out to all the fighters out there.

Do an ad in the middle commercial that says, hey, immediately after this fight, my brand new stand up from this gig that I did will be live on Netflix.

[C]

I was like, oh, I had no.

[D]

Idea it was coming.

[E]

Me either.

[B]

I don't know nothing about it.

[D]

Happily surprised indeed.

[A]

Almost enough to keep me out of the streets.

[E]

Yeah, almost.

[B]

Almost.

[A]

Almost enough.

[E]

She's still winning the street.

[B]

It's the beauty of streaming.

[A]

That's the thing about making it back home. It'll be there.

[E]

It will.

[A]

It's the beauty of stream. You'll be there when you get back home. And if you go out and you get back to that new mayor of Kingstown, you go out Saturday night, you come Back with some heat. That's some heat. But Dave Chappelle, immediately after the fight, I saw it. I'm assuming everyone here did it as well.

[B]

I watched it the next day.

[C]

But.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

How do we feel?

[E]

I liked it.

[D]

I loved it.

[B]

I think it's comedic genius.

[E]

Yeah, I thought it was.

[D]

I think it's storytelling genius. Really?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Like, it's. It's funny and comedic, but his. His strength is. Is storytelling.

[E]

The whole Jack Johnson relatability. Yeah.

[B]

He'll tie something into today and go back 40 years ago. He's always teaching some. Like. Like, I think it was flawless.

[E]

I loved.

[B]

Wasn't as funny as some of his other shit has been on a comedic point, but I think it was flawless. I think he's used. Like his goal ain't to be ha, ha, ha, ha funny. I got something to say. And I could dress it up around all of the comedy. Edutain. Yeah, there you go.

[D]

Edutain.

[B]

Edutain.

[C]

Took it back.

[B]

Yeah. He separate. I mean, it's clear separation. I don't. After this, I don't want to hear the rest of the names that people be trying to throw with his.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Like ever. Or you mean currently?

[A]

Ever, ever.

[B]

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[C]

I wouldn't go that far, but I liked parts of it. I think he's a genius. And I thought that watching it, I saw genius throughout it. The storytelling I thought was amazing. There's a few moments that I thought weren't. I think there's a few moments that you. The joke wasn't even funny enough to justify the meanness or the punching down.

[D]

The trans joke.

[C]

The trans joke.

[D]

I'm with you on that.

[C]

Yeah. There's two moments. Like the Cassie joke, at least while I didn't think it needed to happen, was at least funny just objectively, like, I got the joke of it didn't think it needed to happen because, again, there's a meanness to that that I don't think it needs to happen. But it was funny. The trans joke, to me, wasn't even funny enough to justify. Let me be clear. It's never justified, but sometimes you can watch something and be like, all right, I get how he got there. This didn't feel like he thought it was that funny. It felt like he's just doubling down because they tell him not to do it.

[D]

Triple, quadruple, quintupling.

[C]

Quintupling down. Right. It's like the 10th straight special with a trans joke. And it's like this one. I don't even think you think this is funny? It felt like. It just felt, like, unnecessary. It's like, no one's gonna tell me not to do this, so I'm keep doing it.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I didn't love that, but overall, I thought it was a good special. Yeah, that was good.

[D]

That was just a blip in the. Yeah, the special.

[C]

Yeah. I'm thinking about that in the context of the flawless comment. So I'm thinking, like, there were some. There were some moments. There were some flaws, but I like what he does.

[A]

While I agree with your transgender point and the tripling down of something, I totally agree. No argument. It does come off. Like, nobody's gonna tell me not to do it, so I'm doing it. I had a pass beef, and this is how I'm carrying on about it. Part of it also feels like, you know, you want to root for comedians to be free of censorship for sure. Right. Not at the expense of others. I did think how he tied it into his broader point was genius.

[E]

Genius.

[B]

That's why I didn't mind the joke. That's why I mind it either.

[A]

His broader point of. Because a lot of people may have been. Been lost and the crowd sounded that way. When he started with his whole. You know, I felt a lot more free in Saudi Arabia. Like, to even start with that sentence. I, as someone watching was like, tell me more. I don't get it right. I'm not educated enough. I don't know enough about what's going on over there. Where is he going? His demonstration that he laid out, while that part, I still agree with that. That part was mean. But his broader point and the execution of it, I thought was flawless.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

Okay. I. I.

[A]

And to end it the way that he ended it, even how he ties these things in, the social and social.

[B]

And political hypocrisy of the. Yo, that is flawless, bro.

[A]

And like you said, the edutainment. I loved the long, drawn out Jack, what's his name.

[B]

I like even how he's.

[A]

I normally hate comedian segues.

[B]

He's.

[A]

Because sometimes they just too predictable. We've been watching comedy all our lives.

[B]

Try to call a joke or call the punchline.

[A]

How he does it with, like, here's the bold sentence. Like, that was, y'. All. You know, he takes a pull of that cigarette. It's all just a master class to me. And I'm gonna glaze. I'm gonna glaze. Because I'm a huge fan of what he's doing. But he took the pull of cigarette. I think it all Started with Jack Johnson, 1910. He know good and goddamn well we don't know the fuck Jack Johnson is off the top of our head.

[B]

So put your seatbelt on while I take you on this ride and I'll tie it right back in.

[A]

I was at the edge of my swing.

[B]

5.

[A]

Jack Johnson liked white.

[E]

So they did like this was. They got video Jack Johnson, yeah, man.

[A]

But I want to also Chef's kiss to the production team on this because once he told whatever story he was telling how it started and how it ended production wise, with the pictures of Nipy, the pictures of Jack Johnson, the pictures are. There's so many.

[D]

Anything that the whole ending.

[B]

Stevie Wonder, all of them. He killed that shit, bro.

[A]

And even at the start, starting it with. From seven years ago at the Mark Twain joint when he said, my mother always told me, I forget the quote. Sometimes you have to be a lion. So you can continue to be a sheep. Or I might be fucking a lamb. Some lamb. Some. Some deep shit that great grandma would tell you. And then they showed her mouth and it too. Like. Like it was the. The production on this was. Was special. It. It was.

[D]

It was.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And he put on a clinic. He put on a clinic. I still agree with Mark's point. You're being mean to the transgender people.

[D]

I just think from a comedic standpoint, like, enough's enough.

[C]

The first part of the joke was when he said, it turns out it's a misdemeanor in Saudi Arabia. Right? Yeah, because at least that was funny. Because that's interesting. And it's not anti trans. Right. It's actually the opposite. It's. It's pointing out how disposable their lives are in a lot of places. But also that's at least an original take. Making a dick joke is like, come on, man, you're maybe the greatest comedian of. No, you are the greatest comedian of your generation. You're one of the greatest comedians ever. Like you got better material than that. You know what I mean? I didn't agree with him on the Saudi Arabia stuff. I think it's a bad argument. But in terms of the. Well, one, to say, well, Saudi Arabia kills journalists, but what about Israel doesn't negate the fact that Saudi Arabia kills journalists. It just means don't perform either place.

[B]

No, see, I think he spoke to the hypocrisy of the people that were critiquing him.

[C]

Right, But I was one of the people critiquing him.

[B]

That's you, though. But you stand on. We know one side, but you, not all of the critics.

[C]

I know. And what I'm saying is that's not a good defense of going to Saudi Arabia. That's a good. The hypocrisy part, yes, but he was also justifying going there. See, I. He said, I can free her there. I can speak there.

[B]

No, I think we got something different. And you might be looking at it from something different based on your own education on the region. You are way more educated.

[C]

No, I don't even mean at that level. I mean, he thinks it was okay to go. No, see what I'm saying? He said, I'm waiting for my next Arab check. Again, good jokes. I'm not mad at the performance. I'm just saying, personally, I agree with you. We may have taken different.

[A]

I think it's okay to go part is, I think what he was speaking to.

[B]

Yeah, see, I think he was like, yo, dawg, y' all critiqued me for going there. Cause they killed. And the justification was, well, yo, they killed a journalist. But y' all ain't saying nothing about over here where they killed 240 journalists in the last three months or whatever time frame. He said it was like, yo, so y' all could critique that and think that that part over there is okay.

[D]

I think Mark is saying that he also does critique that, and a lot of people also do.

[C]

A lot of people aren't doing that. That becomes a straw man. I'm saying a lot of people who are mad at him from going there are also boycotting Israel for, For killing journalists. That's all I'm saying. So that's what I'm saying. So it's not like I'm this small minority on that. And what's funny is when he says.

[A]

What do you speak? Where do you stand on America's participation in it?

[C]

Oh, I think we're complicit. If anybody wants to boycott here, I think they should. And I would support it. I absolutely would.

[B]

And that's what I think. That's, that's. I think the broader point is.

[C]

Yeah, but I wouldn't go there.

[A]

We got that part. Mark, I, I understand that. Yeah, you are speaking for the people like you. You going activist against it all. So I, I understand that part.

[B]

And I just think you more educated than the masses in and the goings on.

[C]

But I don't think the masses are criticizing him for it. I think the people criticize it.

[A]

I think his point is Mark is complicit, whether he want to be or not.

[C]

And I think That's a fair point. I think we're all complicit. I think that's right. I just don't think it's a good argument. All I'm saying is I don't think it's the best argument for it. I'm not. Again, he can have that take. Lots of people have that take. I wouldn't die on the Saudi Arabia hill because I think, again, there's enough contradictions everywhere. I just think that that wasn't the best take. But when he said, like, I'm freer to speak there, it's interesting because. Cause he's like, again, my trans jokes kill over there. True. But if he made imagine making an anti Muslim joke over there, it's not that you would almost think that Saudi Arabia was this free place where you can say whatever you want. It just happens to be that his jokes float.

[B]

Yeah, I understand his jokes float there.

[C]

Imagine if a trans comedian can't go over there and tell that joke.

[B]

True.

[C]

So I'm just saying, like, it's. And I'm not trying to demonize Saudi Arabia because again, America got a lot of fucked up shit. And again, do what y' all need to do. I'm just saying I didn't like some of the. I didn't agree with some of the political arguments, but I try not to let the political arguments get in the way of my appreciation of the comedy. Because if I had to agree with a comedian like Eddie Murphy, Raw, I don't agree with 90% of it, but the shit's classic, right?

[A]

Well, let's hear what Dave Chappelle and his crew had to say about you.

[B]

Cause you're willing, but watching it, even though when the person is a clear idiot, you still had a kindness in your approach to like, not make them look stupid. Jerovi, are you talking about my episode? But that's the whole problem with what Malcolm Mar Hill did with Candace Owens that we were talking about earlier is that I was thinking, I was laughing just thinking of Mark Lamont Hill.

[A]

If he sat there and talked to her and kept going.

[B]

You smell something?

[A]

Do you smell anything? But see, even that pussy joke to.

[B]

Me is more effective than Mark Lamont.

[C]

Hill sitting down and trying to be.

[B]

Like, but Candace, but why? But why, Candace, here's why you were so effective though, in, in what you said about Candace Gillen. Because they've held you up as an avatar of truth telling because you're willing.

[A]

I mean, they about to tear you up when the music come on in.

[B]

The way that I never heard this before speaking. Oh, their whole thing is we're censored. Right? As always. The right is always the victim in any conversation. In a time of racial unrest, where 400 years of, you know, degradation, they want to make themselves the victim of this moment. But the Candace own thing, right? So her life is provocation. Her brand is provocation. That's how she makes her money. They're not about free speech because they always somehow end up in Berkeley. They're there to troll. It's not about. It's not a genuine offer of argument and exchange of ideas. It's a provocation. And troll that's meant to increase brand recognition. You come out, out, and you give her the greatest opening you can to create provocation, conversation, brand recognition, but because of who you are.

[A]

What was her response?

[B]

She took the knee. That's right. She took the knee. And that's what I mean. When you address that in that straightforward manner with credibility, that's been earned. All they can do is take the.

[E]

Knee because she's not gonna throw her.

[A]

Way out of that one. Right?

[B]

Because you didn't.

[A]

You weren't trolling her.

[B]

You read her who she was.

[E]

She's the worst.

[B]

I can't think of a worse way to make money. Most articulate idiot I've ever seen in my life.

[C]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I mean, points are made. Points are made. I never got a chance to listen to that. It was behind a paywall when it came out.

[A]

Yeah, good old Luminary, my very first podcast offer.

[C]

Oh, word.

[A]

Oh, yeah, Luminary. Yeah, Goddamn right.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, they raised a good. But to me, that's what makes Dave Chappelle so important and all comedians is that there's other ways to criticize the powerful. There's other ways to check those who are controlling the world other than just people like me arguing back and forth. And that's what makes him a genius. That's why I love when Dave punches up or punches straight ahead. That's why I love him when he does that. Cause no one else can take those people down like him.

[A]

I think that's a fear critique. I think that's a fear critique, what you have to say about him. But outside of that, did you enjoy it?

[C]

Yeah, overall, I enjoyed it. I don't think it was his best special. Like, if I had to rank even the Netflix specials, some of them are more like. Like you said, like talks than things. But it would be in the middle. In terms of my favorites of his on the Netflix Rang. But Dave Chappelle can't do a bad comedy special.

[A]

That's how I feel about it.

[C]

He's too talented.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I'd give it a B plus for him on his scale. A B, B plus on his scale.

[A]

Now, one of the things I love about Dave, and while I do my glaze off here, pause a lot of this shit now, you never hear about his wife. He used to do it ages ago. But at some point, think about it. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Like, at some point, maybe since. Maybe since the Netflix deal. I never. It's not family nothing. It ain't. This is what's going on in the crib. Like most comedians lean on. It's. I got a point. I'm getting to it.

[E]

The end.

[A]

Go Dave. Yeah, go Dave. Go Dave.

[B]

I think. I think he just touched on so much important shit.

[D]

Subtly too, though.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yo, like, him buying the town all like. Yo, he just touched on so much, bro. Like, I just think that. I think that was masterful. Again, it wasn't the most haha laugh, joke, crack, slap knee funny. I just think that was a masterpiece.

[E]

And he's saying, you guys voted for Trump.

[B]

He say a lot of, bro, you.

[E]

Guys voted for Trump. That's why the house market is down. And that's why I was able to buy, you know, buy up all the property. That was fire.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

He could be more risky, right? Like. Like, he could actually take a stance. Like a lot of people, some of the other comedians up there at that level, they. They embed with so many companies and stuff that they can't afford to take the stance.

[D]

So I'm gonna be in bed with.

[B]

They can't even. They can't even talk about certain shit on a special that he could talk about. He got a little bit more freedom. And I've turned down the money before. I've turned down the money before. So y' all know that y' all can't control me with the carrot in front of my face. Like, I've turned down the money. Money before. I thought. I thought that was pure genius.

[A]

Dave Chappelle, faults and all, is one of the people I'm really happy I was able to share my time on earth with. Word.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

It's a good point.

[A]

Yeah, good point. Like, sorry if you think it's weird that I have that list, but I.

[C]

Do have a list, so I got that list.

[B]

Some people that you feel honored to have.

[A]

Honored to be on earth with you. Yes. I got to see Tiger woods as a phenom.

[B]

Tiger versus the field.

[A]

I got to see it as a phenom. This little black or kinda ish. We don't. You know. He took a turn. He took a turn. But I was there for that Early. Kobe early was there for it. I was there. We got to see some good now. Mind you, these is cooking up when we about to die. Women. Yana Shotani hey, when we. Hey, when we leave.

[C]

Oh, fireworks.

[A]

So 900 home runs.

[B]

They got to raise the rim. Yeah. For real.

[A]

It's like our grandparents, right? Like my grandma died. She's oh, just so happy. I got to see a black president run. It's like, yeah, granny. Rest in peace. We about to get lit. Hey, we about to be lit in a second.

[B]

That was a thing for them.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Like considering they all been Bro. Considering all the shit that they. They've gone through and all the that they've endured, to see that to them meant something.

[C]

Yeah. That was my. One of my dad's last elections was. Was seeing was voting for Obama or voting in that election.

[E]

Nice.

[A]

Is there a way we can make it darker?

[E]

The man.

[A]

Is there a way we could have even more sad fests? Jeez. How do we get to Jesus, man?

[E]

Let them have their moments.

[C]

I was thinking about it because it's the anniversary of his death and my sister's death.

[A]

It is.

[E]

All right.

[A]

Yo bro.

[B]

I believe you.

[E]

But rest in peace.

[C]

He has to make it darker. I was just trying to Rest in peace. Debbie. Rest in peace. Dad.

[D]

Merry Christmas.

[A]

He has the darkest. He does. I hate him. Yes. Rest in peace. Rest in peace. And shout out to anybody that that has lost somebody recently.

[C]

It's a tough time.

[D]

It is.

[A]

And you do it with that face.

[B]

That's what make it bad. It's the face. It's the face.

[C]

Yo, yo face.

[E]

I think he's serious.

[A]

But wait, now I'm truly serious.

[E]

I think he's dead serious.

[B]

He's both my.

[D]

He's both.

[E]

He's not trolling.

[A]

He is serious.

[C]

No, I am serious. But I'm also an. So which one.

[E]

Which side are you leaning on now? Cuz I. I feel for you. So you.

[C]

I'm definitely struggling with seasonal depression and they their death. This week there's this anniversary. Death is definitely wrestling with me, but it's also opportunity to make Joe feel like a dick and it be funny. I'm a complicated person.

[A]

Well, is there anything that we can do as your brothers to like help you in this. In this long time? Cuz we do love you a Bonus would be great. Oh, I'm glad you said that. Erickson, come here for a minute.

[B]

I got. I got. I got a couple dollars strip club bonus.

[C]

You.

[B]

I got a couple dollars at the strip club for it.

[A]

You take the bonus. Take that. You're welcome. Man, I forgot to give Erickson a thank you.

[C]

The man who makes it happen.

[B]

No, that's facts.

[A]

He works hard.

[B]

Hey, Joe, we will hang you over that B Friday.

[E]

That's my man. What the was that? He could have done that privately.

[B]

And that envelope looked a little skinny.

[D]

I'm sure it was full of concert tickets, right?

[C]

Button bucks.

[B]

Look a little stiff.

[A]

Yeah. No, Erickson works hard. He does this thing. Never calls out, never. Always is early. Beats me to the punch. Helps with all. Just helps with it all. Helps with it all. I wouldn't be able to do what I do without. Without Eric, man. He's really important to the move, man. He deserves a bonus, man. So now we have some more comedic genius.

[C]

Hold on.

[A]

You tapping.

[C]

Tapping the pocket.

[A]

They ain't do that since crown.

[C]

Since def jam.

[A]

You tap in my pocket with camera rolling.

[E]

I touched it to see like, yo.

[A]

You can't touch another man pockets. But not where we come from.

[B]

You bug.

[A]

If this was a battle rap, I would have had to hit you. If it was a battle rap and you did that and the crowd went crazy, I would have to hit you.

[E]

Just something.

[A]

Is it some lip balm or the garage opener? This something is in there.

[E]

Oh, are you pulling out your.

[A]

No, I'm trying to get to the next topic, which is more comedic genius that we learned about.

[C]

Yes, that's right. The trailer came out.

[A]

Some of y' all are joking. Audience bear with me. Listening Audience bear with me.

[B]

You can't be.

[A]

Some of y' all are joking. Yeah, he's dead ass about this.

[B]

He's not dead ass.

[A]

Yo, since he walked in, he's not dead ass.

[E]

I looked at my account and it makes sense.

[B]

Oh, he might be.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Okay, let's get to it.

[B]

You think I would do that?

[E]

He deserve it.

[A]

It. But not on here.

[B]

Like, I ain't.

[A]

You know what?

[B]

I think he is dead ass. They asked him, yo, how that make you feel? That said hatred.

[A]

What?

[E]

What's the more comedic genius anyway? Yo, if you play anything stupid or throw a shot at me, cuz you. Oh, you speak through records. He do. He speaks through records. He do. He do. That's.

[A]

He do.

[E]

Yeah, let me hear it.

[A]

I'm just playing this.

[C]

If it's not.

[A]

I just. Just playing the same little song, man. Jesus.

[E]

Yeah, put it out.

[B]

My.

[A]

Put you in my business.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, what I'm doing involves a lot of trust, too, because, I mean, with the bonuses, I got to find a way to make content out of it.

[E]

So if you throw any money on.

[A]

This, you gonna make it rain. I can't make it rain. You know, I got some singles.

[B]

Hey, Joe, you got Stand up and.

[A]

Do, like this one piece.

[D]

Andy came with a weird little bag.

[B]

Don't stop.

[E]

Pop that, Pop that.

[C]

Coming to the stage.

[A]

Do you want your in singles 100.

[E]

My like ass gang.

[A]

All right, B. Come here, man. Come here, come here. I trust all you brothers, so you take this, take 25, pass it to the next man. Let him take 25, pass it to the next man, and so on and so on.

[B]

Now, my brother is crazy comedic.

[A]

It should be enough in there for everybody to give. No, you last by design. I worked on this. You and Mark. The math works out last. Hey, look at Paul. Look at. That's right. Come. Come through, Big Bo. Let them know, man. Go ahead, take yours. Give it to Parks. The two trustworthy white guys first.

[C]

It's real money to spend.

[A]

Then we'll get to my real black friends, who ain't gonna make a moment out of this. They too cool. And then we'll get to you two, who it should be short by the time it gets to y'.

[E]

All.

[A]

And that's gonna be a movie.

[E]

He don't play that. He really believe in black, like, his mind. He's like, yo, I'm not gonna have a white man hand me no money like this.

[A]

Well, Ice is handing him the money. It's going that way.

[E]

Yeah, you know, it's the. It's. It's.

[A]

It's my honey get on me.

[B]

I don't even.

[A]

Cause you know what? Cause I look up to you.

[E]

I look up to you.

[B]

I appreciate it, my brother.

[E]

You turned on me the other day.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

We're supposed to take how many of these?

[A]

It's you, man. Take what you want, man. Take whatever you. If the next man can't slide you. I mean, I said take 25 and pass it down.

[D]

I'm 25.

[A]

But if in your heart you feel like taking more, what the they going to do about it? Absolutely nothing I would have taken. They going. I going to take 16.

[B]

I get an X.

[E]

We making content, y'. All.

[A]

Yeah. No, look this. Really happy now. You're such a. No, you are really happy now.

[E]

My brother Mark, man, I'm worried about him.

[C]

Make sure Y', all, I'm good, man. I'm good.

[D]

Appreciate you.

[E]

You don't care. I should say you too.

[A]

I know Mark feeling good because he'll skip no opportunity to make me look like an evil piece of Mark cooking up right now. I hate Mark.

[B]

I thought he got some.

[A]

He'll at look get parks just making sure they're real.

[E]

It's real, man.

[D]

Just got to make sure.

[A]

Got to make sure. Got to make sure.

[D]

Yeah, you got the marker over there.

[E]

You count them again. Yo, who the you think you all counting again?

[B]

Hey, yo, dog, if they ain't stop.

[A]

That would be nasty on my Jagger, right?

[B]

They going to get spent.

[A]

I don't give a you talking about oh my Antoine. But you chop it.

[B]

What you know where I'm from.

[A]

And listen. So while they doing that, Mark has some more comedic genius that only he saw.

[C]

That's not true. Other people saw it yesterday or today. The trailer was released. The announcement was made for TI's first big comedy special.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

We're pretty excited about it as a community to see him with his first big special. We know he's been on the road, he's been working events, doing gigs. Giggs really embracing the grind of comedy. And now it's time for his first special be released. Joe, I sent you the audio. Could we. We could spend some years.

[A]

No, this is my first time here.

[B]

It's been years.

[C]

Great. That way we can get your natural reaction. None of that processed pre packaged industry. We're gonna get the.

[A]

That's the way I like the part now processed and pre packaged. See Mark, did he send me something? Yes, he did. Where the is Mark name in my phone? There it is. All right. Thinking it was gonna be some songs performed.

[E]

Not today.

[C]

You can go to the second slide.

[A]

From platinum hats to Punchline. He's changing the game again.

[B]

Again.

[A]

Shout out to everybody bought tickets thinking there was going to be some songs performed. Not today.

[B]

One joke, one story at a time. This is his journey from the chaos.

[A]

Of fame to the healing power of laughter.

[E]

It's under my goddamn comments.

[C]

I'm like, you need to do something with that boy.

[A]

I'm doing the best I can.

[B]

You think you can do better? Pick his ass up.

[A]

Drop him off when you're done. Join comedian Chip Harris as he proves that sometimes the best medicine is a good joke.

[B]

And do you want to know how.

[A]

I make my beautiful, beloved, filthy rich wife? I hop fresh out the passenger side of my best friend's ride, Walk right.

[E]

Up on and say, hey, baby, how about me and you get to doing some things. You understand me?

[C]

If it can happen to me, it.

[E]

Can happen to you. All you got to do is believe. Come on, now.

[A]

Tune in for cheap. And therapy coming soon. Look at you. They ain't a word to you.

[C]

I heard everything he said.

[D]

He's changing the game again.

[C]

Yeah, for sure. So, first reactions. What do you think?

[B]

Hey, look, I'm with it. I don't think they would put out no. Bullshit. I don't think they put out no. I think Ti's ego and his.

[E]

He owe me for my.

[A]

Oh, I love you.

[B]

Right?

[C]

He like this for the water. This for my Achilles.

[E]

My Achilles. You that nobody with you, sir? Yeah, man, I. I just saw that. That look way more than I slap you right now. All right, I see what you're doing. Stop playing around.

[A]

Yo, look at y'.

[C]

All.

[A]

Yo, we're about to get that, say, $400? Yeah, man. That's where, by design, the content should come from.

[D]

I took a couple from.

[C]

I got pile. I got envelope. I got Monas.

[B]

Oh, that's.

[C]

That was smart.

[B]

Oh, damn. I should have took Imani.

[C]

Yeah, work that out, you sleaze ball.

[E]

Fill it up, boy. Put the rest in there. Put the rest in there.

[B]

Oh, put the rest in there.

[A]

This doesn't sound bad.

[E]

No, you put some in your pocket.

[A]

I watch.

[E]

I watch it.

[C]

Are you saying you want Monas?

[E]

I want whoever's that's yours. Whoever belong in the seat I want.

[B]

That's yours.

[C]

It's yours, bro.

[A]

No, you can't take Mona's. Mona's accounted for. Mona's accounted. Running for her. Not here. She's not here. Mona will get her.

[E]

She's straight.

[A]

All right, Mona straight, man.

[E]

Let me see what you took. How many you took?

[C]

Yeah, I took 25. I follow the rules.

[E]

I don't follow the rules.

[A]

Listen, I know Mark brought it up for me to have a good laugh over the ti, but it's tough for me, too. Not at all. It's tough for me, too, because TI Went and got all the money from that company that. That copy their cartoon or clothes or whatever. Whatever the was going on. It was like something like 70 million or something crazy. Then the judge came back and said, no, you don't get that money. Then the judge came back and said, you know what? You do get that money. So now I just got a ton of money and time on my hands. Freedom to either a, spend it with my family and my wife and my.

[B]

Kids, or go figure something else out.

[A]

Find a Hobby like most men do in retirement.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

And a passion play.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

At that. So it's courageous. It's. It's a lot of things that I can't, I can't, I can't crack on it. I thought that ad was funny. I thought that voice was funny.

[D]

I think that's like some old school.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. They trying to troll me with the voice acting like Richard Pryor is coming out. Even the red leather suit. I mean, I don't know if they trying to troll me or what, but I'm all for a. Older finding. They self finding something they love to do, especially if you can make some money from it. So that's my real and honest, not processed or prepackaged opinion.

[B]

And I like the fact he's going direct with it. Like he has his, his website and you pre order right there through him.

[C]

Yeah, I like that.

[B]

This ain't like a deal with nobody. I'm going direct to consumer, you know what I'm saying? I fuck with it.

[C]

This is what I think. First of all, TI is genuinely one of the funniest people I know. Like in terms of interpersonal, like if you sitting with him or talking to him, he's fucking hilarious. So I'm not surprised that he went down the comedy track at all. He's the kind of person you'd be like, yo, you should be a comedian. We say that around people, but we don't mean it or we think we mean it till they try it. Yeah, he's genuinely that funny. I really mean that. I respect the grind of it. Again, some people jump straight to, well, I'm famous, so I can just get a stage and a camera and shoot this shit. He could have done a comedy special four years ago, five years ago ago in terms of resources, but he decided to actually grind it out. I've seen him in comedy clubs. I've seen. I didn't go, but I mean, I've seen the clips of him in comedy clubs. I've seen him work out material over and over and over again.

[B]

I've seen him get booed.

[C]

I've seen him get booed.

[B]

And that's what makes a strong comment.

[C]

That's what makes a strong comment. It's part of the process. So I respect all of that. Did I think that trailer was good? No, but I didn't think it was bad either. Like, if I didn't know TI and I heard that trailer, it wouldn't make me want to go watch the. It wouldn't make me want to go watch the special.

[A]

See, I felt the opposite. I thought that was the best I've ever heard him in a condensed piece of content.

[C]

I think that's a comedy. I think that's right.

[A]

So. But if my point of reference is his old shit, then this. That was amazing.

[C]

Yeah, that's. What if. If my point of references is the old shit that I said, I can see the growth I'm excited for. I'm saying if I knew, no idea who t I was, and I just went on Instagram and just saw that, I wouldn't be like, oh, that's a comedian. This is not my style of comedy.

[B]

See, but that one might not be for you.

[A]

And that is part of the trials and tests of a true comedian. Go in there where they don't know you a comedian. They don't know you, never heard you, and make a joke or make somebody laugh.

[B]

That could be part of it, though. Like, that trailer again, there's a lot of us who know who TI Is, so. And we've known, like, he got booed at the April Fool's comedy show at Barclay. So now I'm putting my own special out. Let's say we watch it and it's dope. Now when we get to talking about it, it the people that don't know T. I never heard of him, like, oh, all right. There's a funny special out there. Let me go check it. So they might be the second wave of the people to catch on.

[C]

That's true.

[E]

You know what I'm saying?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm not knocking this.

[C]

I'm not knocking it at all.

[A]

Coming here with hot takes and opinions about things I can't believe I'm turning 46 in August. My brain is doing that. I wanted to be against, but I'm just a huge fan of people having lips lived.

[B]

Yes, that's true.

[A]

And try every time I talk to my mom or my dad, they running around out and about somewhere. I'm like, yo, sit down. They like, no, I'm living in my daggers more years behind me than his head. All right, all right, all right. We got it, though, man. We got it. He's saying I love you to me now on the phone. It's awkward. It's awkward. I was. Was there when the Walmart news broke. You know what my boy was doing outside of Walmart? Hip hop was stunned. Atlanta may have known. Yeah. We was like, oh, he was getting watched. Yeah, I was there. I was there for some of that. TI TI on that Little Def Jam run. TI has just done so many things. TI on television.

[B]

TI Made in movies.

[A]

The actor. Movie star, right? Like, he's lived.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

And he's not really balding.

[A]

Yeah, that was fake.

[D]

That was fake.

[A]

But I like potting about fake sometimes. For sure.

[B]

It's funny, funny, funny.

[A]

It's good to know that. Good to know that that was fake.

[B]

But T.I.

[A]

Has lived, yo, so continue to. I'm a fan of people finding new ways to do that at. How old is ti not even 50, right?

[C]

No, he's like, my age is.

[A]

Yeah, he's part of my clan at 46, 47. Somewhere. Somewhere around. Yeah. Hey, do that, do that. There's too many people out here with identity crisises, uncomfortable with self looking for self help. Self healing is up out here. Yo, if you all right, man, go buy a parachute. Go do some. Just go in models and pick up. Pick up the old wiffle ball.

[B]

45.

[A]

Get back to your roof. 45.

[B]

Look, he younger than me.

[A]

Yeah, go out there and do that shit, man. Your kids is talented. You married still. You went through all of the. Yeah, go TI Man. Do your thing.

[C]

Go TI it hit me what I didn't like about the trailer. I get it now as you're talking, it's hitting me. TI Is actually very smart and clever, and I expected his standup to be that. And I think it might be that the trailer was more like comic view style. And I think that there's different audiences for different kind of comedy, and I think the people. More people are going to buy it for the comic view style comedy. And I think that's why the trailer's cut that way. But I'd like to see the stand up to see what the actual performance is, because I think he's a smarter comic than that. Than that trailer suggested. So I'm gonna watch the whole thing again. I'm definitely gonna watch it.

[D]

Yeah, I didn't get it out of it. The trailer didn't really tell me anything about what this is about to be about, so I think it was fine.

[A]

For what it was and let him grow into whatever the comic he. He's about to be that too.

[B]

He was a podcaster for a little.

[A]

Bit, and he looked miserable. And he came out and said, I'm hating this and y' all don't make enough money, and I'm stopping this.

[C]

And I respect great honesty.

[A]

Great.

[B]

Yo, that's a great thing to say.

[C]

And to know and to recognize when.

[A]

You not enjoying something and when to.

[B]

Get out of there.

[A]

I'm never knocking it. I'M never knocking that, but on to some shit I will knock. Nicki Minaj. Come on, let's get right.

[D]

Yeah, let's do it.

[A]

Nicki Minaj, Turning Point, usa. She went out there. You by now you've seen it. I got a bunch of phone calls about it.

[D]

I bet.

[A]

I'm out. I'm done. That was it. That was it. Sorry, I'm gone. I'm going. That's it. The last dance. That was the last candle on the cake for me. Sorry. Sorry, Barbs. Sorry, Nick. Don't call me, don't text me. It is what it is. Sometimes how y' all move around out there does have an effect on how I view and this was one of them things. I'd be a fool to think that you didn't consider that before you did it.

[D]

I'm sure.

[A]

Which just says to me that you really don't give a. I'm even more baffled. I don't even know how much of this conversation I could have. They're. They come. They're so anti transgender, which is confusing to me because I've been to the Nikki concert.

[C]

That's the thing that me up.

[A]

I'm so confused. Confused by so much of what was said on that stage. Yeah.

[D]

I watched the whole thing hoping that maybe same it was gonna be impartial or there was a reason. But she was just echoing a lot of the that you would expect to be echoed.

[C]

I'm. I remember.

[D]

Highly disappointing.

[A]

Oh, same.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Extremely disappointed.

[C]

I'm not disappointed.

[A]

Very anti black of you. Very anti black of you. Let's just call what it is you were saying.

[C]

Oh, no, no, I'm not disappointed because I didn't. I've come to expect.

[A]

Had no expectations.

[C]

Yeah. Or I expected that, unfortunately. I remember when I first criticized Nikki a couple months ago and I said she's doing these MAGA talking points. She sounded like a MAGA person. And the barbs came after me like, why are you saying she's maga? Just because she cares about X, Y and Z. Is she MAGA now? She's at a Turning Point conference. She's talking to Charlie Kirk's wife, talking.

[D]

About how handsome Trump is.

[C]

How handsome Trump is.

[A]

No, she went crazy.

[C]

She also called J.D. vance an assassin, which is a weird thing to say crazy to the woman whose husband was just assassinated.

[D]

That was a very awkward 30 seconds.

[A]

Right?

[C]

It was like, oh, what is happening here?

[A]

Then she. All little girls mattered when talking about the. It was a hot ass mess on that stage.

[D]

It was.

[C]

That's Exactly.

[A]

Like, there's no way to. There's no way to sugarcoat it.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I'm done. I'm off.

[C]

And I. And I think part of that is because we respect Nikki's mind and her autonomy. In other words, I don't think she's being duped. I don't think she's a patsy. I don't think she's a. I think she knows exactly what she's doing. She's making a choice, and I strongly disagree with that choice. And so I can't rock with it. I still think she's a great emcee. She's probably top 10 ever for me. Male, female, dead, a lot, whatever. I think she's just a great artist. But the choices she's making in life.

[A]

Are.

[C]

Stunningly disappointing over the course of her career. Although over the last year, it's exactly on brand what we would expect.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I ain't got too much. I'm off. Yeah.

[D]

I wonder what the. Is going on.

[B]

Yeah. Like, for me, it's almost like, yo, somebody got one up on you. Like, you almost seem like somebody leveraging you to do or say some of these things. I don't know them personally, so I can. I can't make a judgment call. It just seems like it's so hard. Pivot.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

That. It was just like, what? Like a lot of the other people that shocked me doing this, you know, it was like, okay, you got some legal matters. Yeah. Some legal shit going on. That's what I was thinking. You could almost. I don't wanna say justify it, but I see why you doing what you're doing, even if I disagree with it.

[A]

Right.

[B]

This one I can't call. I just can't call it.

[C]

So I've been. There've been some.

[E]

She's trying to help peoples back in the states. Yeah.

[C]

I was gonna say that. I've been hearing there's a political play here.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

First people said pardons, which didn't make sense because the people in her life who are. Who have been incarcerated, whether rightly or wrongly. I'm not trying to get in a personal business. Those are state crimes. So that didn't make sense to me. Although the failure to register is a federal thing. But I don't think you go on all this.

[B]

You might. I didn't know that.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Failure to register is a sex offender somewhere is a federal. So that would be the only federal piece. But all the. The original crimes are state crimes, so I don't think she'd be doing it for that. Getting people into the country could be an angle. I don't know.

[D]

I don't think you'd have to go this far.

[C]

I don't think you'd have to go.

[E]

This far for that.

[D]

Yeah, this shit is.

[C]

I think she just. Again, I don't want to assume that she had. She might just believe this. She could be sincere and believe this shit. I just disagree, and I think it's disgusting and disturbing.

[E]

It's over, yo.

[A]

Yeah, I'm done. Yeah, I'm done.

[C]

Does this.

[E]

I didn't watch it, but I've seen enough.

[B]

I ain't see the whole thing. I saw enough clips, though, that it was like, huh?

[C]

And the clips were not out of context.

[D]

Yeah, that's why I watched the whole thing. So I'm like, well, maybe there was some clickbait on the Internet or something, and she was doing some broad shit.

[C]

And. No, here's what I don't get. And you. You just started talking about this. I'm thinking about how it plays out with her fan base moving forward. Her fan base is disproportionately. LGBTQ or LGBTQ people are over representing her population.

[B]

Right.

[C]

I mean, there's just a lot of people, and they're not all trans. But even just a regular gay person.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Speak to it, you know, who just doesn't like hearing trans people talked about that way or make you think, well, if you think that about this person, what do you think about me? All of this plays in. I'm like, how much of the base is going to feel alienated from this? And legitimately so, from the shit she's saying on stage and the shit that she's tweeting, you know, about boys being boys, and some of that was about traditional masculinity, but some of it was about trans stuff. And she's made that clear so. With the Gavin Newsom criticism. So I feel like she might be cannibalizing her own fan base doing some of this stuff. I don't know how it'll play out. We'll find out.

[B]

I think they would turn on her.

[C]

That's the question. As somebody who lived in a cult, maybe not.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know, bro. I really. I think Nicki Islands, right, Trinidad, is. I think some of them people have that level of fan base where you can do no wrong. Even if you. What you're saying is wrong. To me, I ain't going nowhere. Some of them are that locked in.

[A]

You don't have to do it. I just asked a question.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I know you want to do it. I can hear your brain.

[E]

It's okay. No, you're right.

[A]

You're right.

[B]

You're correct.

[A]

Because I would have to answer honestly if you didn't.

[E]

And why don't you just answer if you know what I'm thinking of? Ready? Just answer it. She's from Trinidad and Tobago.

[A]

Thank you for that information.

[E]

A lot of Trinidadians you know as well, and there's some sane ones and there's some ones that.

[A]

Oh, I'm never saying one person is representative of all. I guess where my brain be stuck on is an ounce of black is black enough for me.

[E]

Me.

[A]

A drop of black is black enough for me.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

So when you stand next to certain people that have made their agendas very clear as it pertains to black people, then that means you're complicit.

[B]

Yes or in agreement.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

That too. If you're not in agreement and you look like you in agreement, it you were complicit, you're complicit either way. And it's hurtful when people take all of that equity built in black and do that with it.

[B]

Maybe they don't view that drop of black like you do still.

[A]

Right?

[B]

I'm just. I'm.

[A]

I'm.

[B]

I don't know. I'm not making.

[A]

Everybody don't. Everybody don't rep black. Black is not a monolith. Everybody don't rep it the same way. I'm only talking about my views in terms of people that I rocked with stamping something a little too hard for me. I can't.

[E]

So then what do you.

[A]

I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I can't watch that. And then we on the text on. Are you nuts?

[B]

Your dog.

[A]

Oh, you don't know. You don't know. You don't know me or my family.

[B]

This nigga got on the street.

[A]

This has greater ramifications than any one of us they talking about. Listen, all of it is a campaign if you know what they're doing. Trump is. If you thought Trump was bad. Now they talking about the Vance Kirk ticket. And you know what they saying out there? I'm not even political, man, but I know what they're saying out there.

[B]

Well, your man Vance just went up there and was like, now we no longer have to apologize. Now white people, white, we don't got to know. Now we don't have to apologize for being. We don't have to be guilty or apologize for being white.

[C]

White.

[B]

Since when did white people ever have to apologize for anything that they've done. The United States, throughout the world, fam. They change, erase what they did.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

What are we talking about?

[A]

You know what they talk about? It's a dog whistle. And it's a great, great marketing campaign when you're trying. Exactly.

[D]

That's.

[A]

But it's a great marketing when you know, you're saying something else.

[B]

Really shit is crazy. And you stood up there next to.

[C]

That and echoed it. She said, just because I want little brown girls to feel good about themselves, you know, that doesn't mean I have to put little blonde, blue eyed white girls down. As if that was ever the argument. It's a stupid straw, man. Yeah. And of course, if you look at her isolation, it sounds like she's just saying love everybody. Which, fine, but it's the all lives matter point, as you said earlier. It's like. Like you're making it seem as if black people or people on the left or progressives or whatever are trying to tear down white people. That white people are under attack or.

[B]

Trying to oppress them. Like it ain't the same. It's not that.

[C]

That's not what it's about. No one's ever questioned the beauty of blue eyed, blonde haired white girls. That's never been a problem.

[A]

You just saw online not too long ago talking about some little black kids, like, it's too much now.

[E]

Cardi's kids.

[A]

It's just too much now.

[E]

I see what you're saying.

[A]

I don't have to know what's going on under the hood of the car, but it's too much for me. I'm off this train. I'm off this train. I'm off this wagon. Have a blast. I'm sorry. Can't. What? Actually, I'm not sorry.

[E]

So it changes your whole perspective on the person when these things happen. Right? Like, when do you still have love for the person?

[A]

I can love you from over there.

[E]

Okay? So the love doesn't change.

[A]

I can love you. I love you.

[E]

You're not gonna stand.

[C]

You're not gonna stand.

[A]

Nikki still did a lot of great things for me. Me, I've still had a lot of great personal conversations with her. I too get unhinged or have at times. So I understand that little connection there for me. This is the way we've so far gone. We're too far gone. This ain't that. This is not that. I like to be unhinged when it could hurt me and the people that love me. I don't want my unhinged to affect black people, my kids, their grandkids, the legislation that will be signed, the fucking movements that will be put into effect.

[B]

And I think that's a really big point. Like oftentimes, even when we start talking about politics and this man versus this man, my take is always it's bigger than the two individuals. Like, yo, what is their cabinet gonna look like? What are the laws that they're going to bring into effect look like? Like, because once they're out of office, some of that shit in the remnants still play a part in everybody's everyday life. And so that shit matters more to me versus Biden versus Trump. I ain't like neither one of them motherfuckers, to be honest with you. But what's his cabinet gonna implement when it starts talking about federal education and shit like that? Look what they did to the education system. They fucked it up. So stuff like that matters. And that's the shit like when I used to be arguing with Vernon or when E was on that train, I was like, yo dawg, fuck the two people. Let's talk about what they gonna start doing for us. Because we be the people that really get feel the brunt of that shit.

[A]

Well, my Dominican homeboys, I knew they was gonna learn. Year one, year one, it was quick and it was very fast. It was quick, it was very fast. The turn it took, the disappointment on some partying bullshit explanations like when we be playing Monopoly and you see one person's playing and that person is heavily favored to win and then somebody or a few people just push him to the finish line with the win. Like, of course it's, it's scary for me. Haha, haha. That was, that was funny between me and you.

[B]

I can't. Yo, dog, it starts to be really a frustrating personal issue.

[A]

You know what it is? We spent a lot of time during election time talking about how tactical Trump and those right wing people were in the way that they delivered their message. I stand against everything about their message, but I know marketing and a good team doing some shit when I see it. And I think that's large part why he won.

[B]

I agree for sure.

[A]

They're continuing in that tactful strategy and, and, and seeing us be pawns in it. Yeah, I don't care how much they paid. You see, that's what I'm saying. Everybody can't go, right? That's, that's. Listen, I don't expect all black people people to be good at the black people gate when we get there. Some of you Niggas are sellouts. Some of y' all niggas, like I say all the time, get behind the private door in the private room and get to speaking for only your interest. And that's cool. But I need to know that before we get there. Cause I ain't just gonna be riding, riding and riding. And the second you get a chance to get back there and get a tax break or get your homeboy out or now me. Me and my kids and my grandkids and my great grandkids as fuck.

[B]

Fuck you or not.

[A]

Ain't none of y' all that important.

[B]

To me or not even your kids. Some other poor black family's kids. Cause see, that's where you take the selfish shit out of it. You gotta start talking about community and all of that other shit. And so, yeah, we might be in a tax bracket where some of that shit don't necessarily affect us. God has blessed us. But then you gotta talk about the thousands and thousands of other motherfuckers that are affected by. By some of these decisions that people are. It's bigger than you. Yeah, like, what are we talking about? Be like, that is nuts to me. You start giving that people's really, really, really important assignments in government from the.

[A]

Same people that was talking about you. They done pulled up all the old clips.

[B]

Yeah, they did.

[A]

They done pulled up the old clips of what the Kirks thought of Nicki Minaj.

[C]

Yeah, they did.

[B]

They did.

[C]

He said she's a bad influence on young girls.

[B]

On young black girls.

[C]

Young black girls in particular.

[A]

Yeah, really, really, really, really, really disturbing.

[C]

Speaking of, you mentioned taxes. You know, the tax rates are changing, I'm hearing.

[B]

Yeah, supposedly.

[C]

So apparently.

[B]

Stupid. Go ahead, keep voting for your man Trump.

[C]

Trump has changed. So people who make over, I think. Is it 600,000?

[B]

600.

[C]

640.

[B]

So ish.

[C]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's really an ish topic.

[B]

Not me.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. You'll be taxed the same way as people like Joe.

[B]

Oh, shit.

[A]

What are you saying? What's the rule?

[B]

They modified the. You know how the thresholds for taxes. Supposedly. I ain't research it as much as I will that people. That 640 is now the. The bottom of the top threshold.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

You know what I mean? So everybody's 640 and up.

[C]

So now you're the. You are the uber wealthy.

[B]

Not. I said the goose.

[A]

What was it before?

[B]

Couple mil.

[A]

Oh, damn.

[D]

They dropped that out a lot.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

What's the play there?

[C]

I'm not sure. I haven't read into it as much. I just got the info before we started the show. I just knew that suddenly people like Ish and others are going to now be affected in a way that they weren't before.

[B]

My thing. I think the play is the middle class in America is about to be non existent.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

You understand what I'm saying? And so I think that if it's.

[A]

Already on its way.

[B]

But the uber rich and this be the argument when you start having political argument. The uber rich don't pay taxes already.

[A]

Right?

[B]

Like we have enough vehicles, we have the best accountants in the world, we got the best financial advisor in the world and we got enough money that we can move it around and make it do shit. Jay Z say all the time, yo, I live so good. I'm damn near living tax free. Like they got the information and when you got the information, you use the information to be strategically advantaged.

[D]

For sure.

[B]

We don't necessarily have all that information and then for a lot of us, we don't even have the resources.

[D]

You know what it means?

[B]

Yeah, yeah. So I just think that it's just a game playing together game or rewriting the game to benefit themselves.

[C]

Now there are a lot of people who will make. Because if they hadn't done this, the tax rates would have dropped back to the I think pre2019 or pre2018 rate. So. So somebody who makes like $120,000 would have been taxed at like 26%. Now it'll drop to like maybe 22%. So there's a lot of people who will be fine. It's really those people in the middle who make a lot of money but don't make a lot enough money to feel rich who are going to get, who are going to get that weight, you know what I mean? So this is not like cry for.

[B]

For.

[C]

For people who make $600,000. But it does change a lot for people.

[B]

And bro, and again, I don't want to be insensitive.

[A]

Then don't.

[B]

I'm not.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

For, for. Cause in many parts of the country, 640, you are living like a king.

[D]

You are living like a kid.

[B]

Most places in the coast, outside the coast, you're living like a king. But on these coastal states, you still in the rat. You still, you know what I mean? Slugging it out.

[D]

I wouldn't go that far.

[A]

But you're. This nigga is 640s, you still slumming it 42 coats.

[B]

I didn't say slumming it.

[A]

You stupid. 42.

[B]

42 coats, yo.

[A]

Making 640 is out there having a slice. They are. And they. And they were. They having a great old time.

[E]

About that's making.

[C]

If you don't have kids and you six, you make 640. You're like you living the life.

[B]

No kids.

[A]

You.

[D]

You doing.

[C]

You'll be fine.

[A]

You'll be fine. Better than fine.

[E]

Fine.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

She gonna be fine.

[C]

And if you're single or if your.

Turning point. Turning point. I can't believe y' all stole each other's bonus money.

[B]

We didn't steal nobody. Not each other. We didn't steal each other's.

Yeah, that's. That's going to be bad karma. That's going to be bad karma for y' all in 2026.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

Speaking of bonuses, Joseph, we'll deal with this later. Pharrell.

[C]

It's not a bonus, but Pharrell gifted Pusha T with more than $2,500.

[A]

Niggas is gifting cars. Yeah.

[C]

Gifted him a Rolls Royce new shit.

[A]

No, it'll be better.

[E]

What's the most you'll pay for?

[A]

I mean, or if you find your nuts. Nuts, like, just find your nuts. That you could do that.

[E]

What's the most you'll pay for a gift for someone like, that's not like, mom, dad, girl.

[C]

I think you just found out, like, just.

[E]

No, because he gave. He gave. Break. Come on. I'm not gonna try.

[A]

I can't believe one of you heathens stole.

[B]

You ain't pay it back.

[C]

What?

[E]

I tried to one time when I was. When. When I had a good. When I got suspended and I had a good two months, three months. Came in, told me he wasn't taking it from me.

[C]

Remember that?

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

I'm not taking from you.

[C]

You know, you better take out the next.

[E]

You got to be able to fulfill your duties.

[B]

He was like, yo, take that. I want to change.

[E]

He said, no, don't take it. Freeze. He want to crack jokes.

[C]

He wasn't that.

[E]

He wasn't. He was still like, outside of cnn trying to get in Lori.

[A]

Man, why y' all think people are so upset at the. This whole 21 savage the streets of dumb movement? Do y' all see. Do y' all see. Do y' all see that people are really upset about.

[B]

I don't know why, though.

[A]

The streets.

[B]

Maybe somebody can explain it to me. They're not saying the street's done.

[A]

It's.

[B]

It's the fact they're saying streets because surface level, it looks like you're.

[A]

You're.

[B]

Y' all are trying to just make up with gunna now by saying it that way. That just surface level, y'.

[A]

All.

[B]

Y' all were. Well, because when he came home, it was all of this, rat, rat, rat. We can't with you. Rat, rat, rat, rat, rat. Which is.

[D]

That's actually a little more nuanced.

[C]

Interest is known why the bro is the loudest in a row. Why certain won't be cool.

[B]

I ain't give second chances at no fool. I'm at my depression.

[C]

Life been going smooth.

[A]

Hey, thought that was a cool little. He got right to it.

[B]

He got to it.

[A]

He got. He said what he had to say.

[B]

Now y' all want to be cool on the matter.

[A]

I'm cool.

[B]

When I. When he came home, everybody tried to outcast him. And you a rat. You this, you that. And it seems like once the Young thug shit came out, now we gotta kinda rewrite the rules or we don't care about the streets or we off the street shit now because we're justifying still fucking with him again. I'm not a street nigga. People kept tagging me, yo, what you think? I don't give a fuck.

[E]

It became deeper than that, though, after, you know.

[A]

It became deeper.

[B]

Yeah, I've seen the conversation grow.

[E]

It matured. I feel like, you know, people feel like you guys use the streets or talked about the streets in Order to make money. Now you're saying the streets. That's a lot of comments I've been seeing. Like, now you say fuck the streets.

[B]

Now that y'. All. Yeah, now that you up.

[E]

Now it fucks the streets all of a sudden.

[B]

But y' all been up.

[A]

It ain't.

[B]

Now that y' all up. That's the thing. Y' all been up. And y' all been talking about this. Y' all didn't just. Y' all didn't. Now that we up, we rich. Cause that's what people been telling us. Hey, y' all are rich. Why are y' all still street, street, street, street, street?

[C]

So what are you supposed to do? Like, if. If people keep telling you to stop embracing that, and then you embrace it, you've already been up. So it's not because of money. That seems to me that makes it more trustworthy, more believable. Right?

[B]

I think that. I think that some of the things that life will show you. And. And I'm getting this from some of my niggas. Like, I got niggas that did 15, 20, 30 years in jail, like, so. And they are saying similar shit. Like, yo, we grew up under this mantra that these are rules of life. And when you go sit up for 15 and 20 years, you realize that a lot of that shit that they taught us to live by was bullshit. Now, some of the principles and some of the ethics that come from being in the street, I think are amazing for sure. Some of the camaraderie, some of the. You know what I mean? Like, some of the shit is amazing. But then some of the other shit that these people. Because I can't speak to it, because I wasn't. I didn't go to jail for long. I'm coming home.

[E]

You told.

[C]

Yeah, listen.

[E]

When you finish.

[B]

In all seriousness, once these people go live a certain thing, they like, yo, dog, we've been led astray, and we are. We are basically at a disadvantage because we live in by these principles while white people, or I don't even want to just put white. But they come and they take over our neighborhoods, and they got us at odds doing a whole bunch of other shit, and they playing puppet master because we living by this, we can't get ahead. So I think once you see it and you recognize some of it, these niggas be like, yo, that shit is stupid, and I'm off it.

[E]

I feel like they should. I feel like they should identify certain things that they want to get off or they want to get away from. When it comes to the streets because the streets in totality is different. There's a lot of elements to street and street culture. Like I said, OG Nuke, he did 33 years. He come home, he want to talk to the youth. He doesn't want to glorify anything. So I understand those things. But there's people like me or certain people. When you enter the streets or you meet people from the streets, you learn a lot of things. You learn how to use discernment. You learn how to deal with people. Certain things that you learn from the streets. So I feel like it should be identified or singled out. Like, fuck this part of it or fuck that. You know what I mean? That's how I feel. Because the streets is not all bad to me. And people got mad at me for saying that. They're like, yo, Flip, you bugging. Cause you know what they're talking about. But I just feel like I understand too.

[B]

But a lot of it, you don't say freeze. Yeah. Because a lot of it ain't necessarily the streets. Right.

[E]

Got it, niggas.

[B]

Just grouping that all together. When n get to talking about the street streets, we talking about the illegal that's happening in the streets. Not coming from the hood, not being in an urban area. That's not. That's not the streets conversation is about.

[E]

That's how everyone is taking it.

[C]

And that's. That's my issue.

[B]

But that's.

[E]

That's the totality. They're not. They're not. Yeah, I'm sorry.

[C]

No, no, ice is here.

[B]

No, I'm just saying, like. Like you're making it seem like you saying where we came from, where we grew up at, that's not this conversation.

[E]

Understood.

[B]

So my part, when you see it.

[E]

From the naked eye, initially, without getting context, that's how you're going to take it?

[B]

No, you shouldn't.

[A]

You shouldn't.

[C]

You shouldn't. Fuck the streets and fuck the hood is two different things. Some people and people are taking. I hear you what you're saying. People are taking them as meaning the same thing. And I feel like a lot of the values and a lot of the stuff that people are associating with the streets is really just growing up in the hood. That's not to say that there's nothing to be learned from the streets too. But I think it's okay at our age to say we don't want to glorify that anymore. And when we say fuck the streets, I don't think it means that we should ignore why people Are in the streets the conditions that push people to do, to live in the underworld or live in criminal element or live in whatever off the books, off the mark, whatever you want to call it. I get it. And I'm not. I think we should spend more time criticizing the systems than the people who are under the street. Yeah, exactly. We should do that. But I think it's also okay while doing that to be like, yo, bro, we 50. Like, what the fuck are we doing? We can't keep supporting this. We can't keep celebrating this. We can't keep glorifying. And now there's kids watching us do this and we sound stupid.

[B]

It's a cycle of destruction.

[C]

Yeah. We gotta get out of it. And I think there has to be room for both of those conversations at the same time.

[B]

I agree.

[C]

The problem is too many of the people that are saying fuck the streets don't give a fuck about the people in the streets.

[B]

We do.

[C]

And so we gotta be able to do both. To me, what do you feel?

[A]

I agree with. I agree with everything that Mark said. I have an appreciation for, you know, what you were speaking about in terms of what I learned. Right. Like me, I left school and in the 10th grade. So all of the. How to speak to people, how to bag a chick, how to have sex, where to find drugs, where to buy a gun, Just economics. Went to economics. Politics, politics, math, politics. What block you can go on. Discernment friend groups like Isha saying, a fucking community. All of that. All of that I learned and have an appreciation for. Right. On the flip side, same as I say, I'm not no street nigga. And when I sit here, I don't think that I'm talking to street niggas. The street niggas that I. That I know and cherish and love and respect, they would. They would urge anybody listening to never join.

[E]

That's a fact. That is a fact.

[A]

They would just tell you the real. So I can't speak to what's going on out there today, but the same way I said that the Nicki shit has greater ramifications in terms of the lives that our kids, grandkids and great grandkids will live. It's the same thing on this front. Like, let me lead and be the example that I want to see. I maybe didn't all the way understand them dropping crack in the hood and what that did for our generation who had to come up, up without dad, without fathers. Here we are today. You already know, we give it up. I mean, jokes aside, Is dadding. Is dadding out here? I love you, pops. Like there's things that, there's generational things that I just want to cease to exist as time goes on. And I think we owe it to people to show them what that looks like. One, two. Back in the day, there was no viable means that we could see to earn. We couldn't. In the 80s if you told somebody that they kid, they black kid was about to be a millionaire, you got laughed out the family. I was a part of some of those conversations. So, you know, by any means that's what you can't knock the hustle today. There are just so many examples of the technology has advanced, the information has advanced, our action access has advanced. There are too many tangible, viable examples of people that have made great livings for themselves and their families without breaking a law, almost without leaving their comfort zone. Of course I'm exaggerating, but from the comfort of wherever they choose to see it. So your excuses would need to be more today as to why you. You choose to put not only your life at risk in jeopardy, but your entire families. See, and I'm privileged because the street I know their act, their actions justifiable by them are really honorable people. Like I'm privileged to know a lot of really honorable, admirable, pardon me street. Same today.

[B]

We all are.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, but that, that's, that's. That's a gift and a privilege. But like Mark said, we'd be 50 years old. So whatever was cute back in the day ain't cute to me today. Today I want to go home to whoever the is in there. My kids, my girl, my future wife, my parents. I want to live to see them at age. I want to see my kids get older. Maybe I'll pop another one out. I want to see black people continuing to be successful. Like I want to see my friends and people not that showing the main Charlemagne did Angie. He said some dope. That that was dope. But it got me to thinking about just even the history between him and I and where we both are. Like somebody somewhere got a picture of me and him in a South Carolina radio station station in 2001 and 2002. Looking dusty and bummy. Just two talented, passionate about something.

[C]

I like it.

[A]

He probably got it. But me and him don't speak. Mark, get that picture for me.

[B]

I think this is the biggest point.

[A]

I appreciate it. I'm sorry. I did appreciate what he had to say. And Angie, such a g like. Like you can't sit in front Of Angie.

[B]

No, she led him to the water. She let him right to the water. She did it the right way. It's her.

[A]

But you can't sit in front of her and do some bullshit like we love and respect Angie. Angie, here's the truth. That's right.

[B]

You keep talking about the 80s and the 90s, and this is what I think powers that point home. In the 80s and the 90s, nobody had anything to identify what these actions were gonna lead to. Now in the 2000s, you see the 90s kids that grew up with no parents, you see what crack did to the parents, I mean, to the kids whose. Who's. Whose families got torn apart by drugs or crime or whatever the case may be. These are the 17 year old niggas that's out here shooting people. Like a personal store. I told y', all, one of my houses got raided a couple weeks ago, dog. That shook our community up. Literally shook our community. I think it was out in the street and it just so crazy that. That touched me. Like my. That was right here. It's one degree of separation. And so I think that the thug in 21. And again, shout to all of the OG like, I know that's really out here and was out here running when they start saying it. These six, seven on the podcast that ain't really never do no crime. When the niggas that did life and got life and now they came home after 30 years start saying, yo, that shit is dumb. Y' all been being led astray. Their word carries way more weight than any of these niggas up here.

[A]

And that's back to what I was saying about how privileged we are to know honorable street niggas. Because when you say streets, it is encompassing of all right. And there's a video circulating currently that I'm really upset. I saw, and I don't typically watch these types of videos that are extremely violent or some murder. Murder, kill, kill. In real life, I don't. But the fake UPS drivers, triple murder of a family and that video was recorded and I watched it before I knew how it would end is by far some of the most disturbing that I've ever seen. Scene.

[B]

You said fake UPS drivers? Yeah. They dressed up.

[A]

Yep. Three gentlemen dressed up as a gentleman is overstatement. Right? Right.

[B]

I got you three.

[A]

Three. Three monsters dressed up as UPS men went. Went to this family's home, knocked on the door, rung the doorbell. Nobody answered, so they started to walk away. Two minutes later, the son comes out to walk the dog. So they Turn around. They turn around. They walk him to the door. They back out on him. Yo, who's in the house? He's like, yo, my family. My dad is in there. They go in the house. It's his dad, his wife or partner, and two little children and two little small children.

[B]

So they are recording this while they do this.

[A]

No, no, no. Okay. There's green camera footage outside the house, inside the house, in every room, there's cameras. Okay. And showed you. These gentlemen come in here and say, where the money at? Where the money at? Where the money at? Pistol whipping these people. He said, I know the money is in here because of the cars that's in the driveway. And I guess a Mitsubishi in the driveway. It's like a Mazda in the driveway. So they go through hell with this van. I don't even want to say what happened at the end. At the end, they killed these people. Three people in front of two screaming small children. Children, Two screaming. Screaming to the top of their lungs. Small children, lot of lives. Altered lives will never be the same. It's the. One of the most grotesque videos I've ever seen. And they can skip sentencing with these.

[B]

No. And so now to. To. To 21 of them point the streets would have it that anybody that has information on this don't say, shut the up. You get what I'm saying? So at some.

[A]

Sorry, I can't go to bed that way. I can't go to bed that way. Nor do I. Nor. Nor are y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

The. I'm talking about when I'm. When we say street. And that's the thing. There is no distinct distinguisher. There's no. Like all of them. All of that is bunched up into this. And I'm all the way against that. You could throw them in the absolute bottom of the jail.

[B]

But see, that's the best.

[A]

If you want to give them the chair, I wouldn't have no problem.

[B]

I'm with you. But that's part of the problem. Like. Like issue saying. Because what will happen is people supposed to. People come right out, let the police do their job. You're not supposed to help the police do their job. Where do you now you picking and choosing where that applies and where that doesn't.

[A]

Yes, I am.

[B]

Yeah, but you are.

[A]

But I'm saying in general, there is.

[B]

No picking and choosing where that applies. You're not supposed to help the police do their job.

[C]

Here's what I would say. And first, when I think about the streets, street codes, street ethics, none of that shit that happened in that house is what the honorable street niggas would do. Even robbing people like that. That shit is outside the. To me, killing people in front of their kids when they not resisting, to me is crazy. Like, this is indefensible. I think robbing people, period, is. But I'm just saying, like, even if.

[A]

You into robbing people, I was nervous when they did that on Mayor in Kingstown. I'm gonna be nervous in real life. I don't never wanna see even a dramatization of that is disturbing to me.

[C]

Home invasion is one of my biggest fe fears in general. Because for myself and for my family. More for my family than for me, you know, because that can happen.

[E]

Yes.

[A]

She's sitting there screaming, pleading for her life, saying, that is all the money. We don't have nothing. There's nothing in here. Like just stupid ass, stupid murderers.

[E]

No, but then you ain't even at.

[A]

The right house or neighborhood that's about to have a safe full of.

[C]

Right?

[A]

Like, stop. Yo, that was absolutely disgusting.

[E]

Yo, they were saying that. I mean, it's a deeper story than that. They were saying that these people that were in the house were like drug dealers and had like a storage full of stuff. The police went back and identified the storage and how much stuff was in there, and they said that those guys were sent to do that. That's. That's a story online, you know what I mean?

[C]

So that makes more sense at least. It's disgusting and senseless. But I mean, like, that helps.

[A]

That helps nothing.

[E]

No, I agree. No, I felt the same way you said.

[A]

Absolutely.

[C]

I'm just trying to figure what made them choose dress up a UPS safe.

[A]

In there was dealing drugs. All right, we. We pinpoint that house. We targeting that house.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

To do that in front of those kids.

[E]

I agree.

[C]

And indefensible.

[A]

Sorry, bro. Sorry, bro.

[E]

My condolences to. To those people. Real quick when we talking about the street last thing.

[A]

Home invasion.

[B]

You, You.

[C]

You had.

[A]

I ain't mad at a home invasion. I used to do home invasion, fam. We wasn't looking.

[B]

Looking to kill nobody, my nigga. Like, I had robberies.

[A]

Hey, it's holiday season. Robberies is up. Niggas is robbing. Don't turn a simple robbery into a murder, nigga.

[B]

When I had. I went through a period where I had, like, nightmares of a home invasion. I'd never been in one. But what happened when my baby moms was four months pregnant with my daughter, she lived with her and her homegirl were roommates. Her homegirl dude was into some gotta do it without saying the right. Like, I mean like yeah, me up and I'm. I'm not even. They came in looking for him, tied up the whole. And then. Yeah. So anytime I hear home invasion.

[E]

That is a people sad part about.

[B]

The streets real quick is that sorry for put your business out there.

[E]

You got. You got to be able to. I don't think that as kids we were able to think for others. Right. Because there are other children who don't have fathers in the home that have to come outside and their parents work hard or whatever and they have no choice but to be outside and be in that area. They may get picked on or something may happen to them. Where a person who was powerful may bring them under the wing and just show them different things. So there's elements like Joe said and like Mark said. I think what I would prefer there's elements too long. What I would prefer is that people just identify. Or maybe I have to say like the hood in the streets is different. We just have to separate them.

[D]

I think that one of the weird things too about the perpetuation of the street mindset and lifestyle, the arguments around them and the perpetuation of it is a lot of times today on the Internet coming people who have no business with any of it. That's the part that's disturbing about it to me. Yeah, like people putting their foot down about some street laws that have no.

[B]

Business whatsoever and industries don't live and.

[D]

Like taking stances against people again with no clue about any of it. I think that that's wrong, quite frankly.

[A]

I get down now just talking about this. I try not to. The streets is going to be the streets. The streets don't need a daily wire. The streets are their own daily wire. They're their own newspaper and report.

[B]

And that's why anything other than that.

[A]

Yo, I want to talk to niggas with shit to live for and families and goals. Like, if you down to die tomorrow, then how much we talking about? Like I ain't you tougher than me, homeboy. I want to push this thing to the limit. You hear me talking about full body MRIs, heart cat scans and IV packs and brain MRIs and blood pressure and cholesterol and. And niggas is having seizures and strokes. Like I don't have time for what the fuck y' all niggas is on out there. Been there and done it. Been there and done it. God saved my life too many times. Guns jammed to my head.

[B]

I'D be the fool.

[A]

I'd be the fool. How many chances I need Please. For sure that's real. Well, have a blast. Have a blast out there. I got motherfucking Frankie Beverly and Maze.

[D]

Picked up a kilo imma get it regardless y' all ass 50 he know here I go saving the day again Buck the hero new Jack city need no came back from zero the inside.

[B]

Of the Chevy look like a bag.

[E]

Of cheetos ain't a day that you.

[B]

Can say that my trap house been.

[A]

Close ain't no way that I'm gonna play with me rappers wife they know I'm just one of them ones yeah.

[D]

I didn't really think this is a diss track. I guess there was a little jab in the Olympic but today that's yeah it just felt like an address.

[A]

It's not addressed. If you start talking about my Olympic intake you're dissing me.

[B]

Okay, well it's not.

[A]

What does my Olympic intake have to do with the story I told you saying I'm lying Me saying I'm not if you addressing it then it's an address. Once you get to the personal attacks then it's in disland world it was.

[D]

Just a little jabby jab well that.

[A]

Makes it a diss it don't Take but a pinch.

[B]

It's not a diss track, though. I guess I do some disses in there. Diss track is my own entire track is aimed at you. Talking about whatever. I get what you're saying.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Because if that's a diss track, it's not a good diss track.

[A]

It is a good track, but when's the last time you heard a Young Buck track?

[B]

It's been a while.

[D]

It's been a while for me.

[A]

So the time last year, year before last, just so happens, happens to be after Fat Joe goes on his podcast and says I had to give him the two piece with the biscuit so you could fancy it up. He. It wasn't a friendly experience.

[E]

He sound good either way.

[A]

I thought Young Buck sounded good, man.

[D]

He sounded good.

[C]

He. I loved it.

[A]

That's straight out of Cashville album. It's a great album. Bucket Eat, man. He did Bucket Buck had heat, but then 50 leaked the call and taped the call, and then it was. That was that.

[C]

That was my only thought about when you enter. When you enter a rap battle, 50 is crazy.

[B]

That was nuts.

[E]

I said that was wild.

[A]

Yo, the fans be like, yo, why didn't say that about 50 that they say that so much about everybody? I'd be like, yo, do y' all know what he's done to people? Like, he done sent people to niggas, moms. You don't even need to talk about it. But he is a sickle.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

What'd you mark?

[C]

Nothing at all, actually.

[D]

Now that you put it that way.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

No, no, my. Wasn't about 50 was you saying, like, Young Buck. Yeah. I mean, if this turns into a full fledged battle, there's, you know, battles go in a lot of ugly directions, especially these days. I could see this getting into some of that 50 cent territory. I hope it doesn't. Hope it stays.

[D]

I don't think.

[A]

Nah, I hope not.

[C]

I hope not.

[B]

I don't see. I don't see Buck or Fat Joe being on that today.

[A]

Good.

[D]

Me either. Like, I don't even know if you'll hear a Fat Joe reply the.

[A]

Out of Fat Joe. If he got to reply to Young Buck, he wouldn't. I don't think.

[B]

No, you reply on your show.

[C]

Yeah. If anything.

[D]

If anything, he'll do it on the show for sure.

[B]

And I mean, when the story first came out, I mean, how do you say it? Like Fat Joe stories be a little fat.

[D]

Fat, Fat Joey.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

He puts the sauce on it.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

So I took that with a grain of salt, for sure, you know? Then Starlito jumped out. He was like, hey, that's a lie. Because I was there and talked about this is what happened. Buck says, what? He says, like, I tend to.

[A]

Then the DJ jumped out.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And said I was Buck's DJ at the time I was there. He accused Fat Joe of moving with police. In Fat Joe's story, he said the police popped up and formed like, a barricade and then two pieced him. Two pieced him over to cops. The dj. Buck's DJ at the time, was saying no. Fat Joe had cops going to the stage, had cops escort him out of there. And.

[B]

And this is young Buck. We remember what he did at the awards.

[A]

Right, Right.

[B]

Like at an award show.

[C]

He ain't no nut. Like, that's what I'm saying.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You think I'm not rolling.

[E]

But again, I forgot he was getting crazy like that.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Like, was doing that.

[B]

Like, certain people, they'll crash out.

[A]

I don't know if that Joe's lying or not, but I don't want him to stop. If he ain't. I mean, if he is, I. I don't want him to stop.

[B]

I know he can't stop.

[A]

Another good Fat Joe St. Joe lies is killing. If he lying.

[D]

Oh, for sure.

[A]

I don't know if he lying or not.

[B]

I don't care.

[D]

Don't care.

[B]

Entertaining.

[A]

Yeah. But the person.

[B]

Now, if he's lying on you, you might care. You might care.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

And now. Okay, let me go clear that up, because now you. Your lies ain't funny no more.

[A]

We was lying on somebody without a voice, which is normally the smart route to go. But then if you got a voice and you get on your phone sound pretty good.

[B]

He lies or you around and give him a voice because you lied on him. Like, again, one people, no disrespect to Buck, but.

[C]

What?

[B]

Nobody checking for Buck like that so he could drop records. And Buck dropped albums this year. Multiple.

[A]

Oh, yeah. But that transgender thing, too.

[E]

Yeah, it kind of threw it all. That's what it was. Y' all even said, like, damn. Like, I was watching that transgender thing, too. I said, that went.

[C]

That's what I was saying with the baby.

[E]

My man found his voice. I said, I know that. I said, the community must be happy. Look, he came out. He turned up.

[B]

Now.

[E]

Buck turned up, man.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Didn't Buck the nigga for a second. That shit was a little crazy. The Buck transgender thing, Shingy got lied on. But the Buck Shit. Yeah, that was official. Tissue pause.

[E]

Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Was it official? What? They played the audio, huh? It was like an audio, right?

[A]

Yeah, but it was a couple times. I think it went back. That's the thing. If just own up to they love for the game. The game. I think. I think it would be la. I think it would. No, not the game. Shout out to the game. The game. Hit me the other day. I'll call you back.

[D]

His tape is fire.

[E]

Still too.

[A]

Headache. I was constipated. He talking about yo, it's me. That don't matter if I'm constipating.

[D]

Not now.

[A]

Game. Try to get the out.

[E]

I'm having a game in this bathroom.

[A]

Hey, yo, I'm in the middle of a tough game.

[B]

Real quick.

[E]

Who overcame the.

[A]

What you mean real quick? While I was making a point.

[E]

Yeah, make your point.

[A]

I worked on whatever I was about to produce just for you to talking about again. I forgot what we talking about now.

[B]

Now?

[A]

No, before that.

[D]

Young buck.

[C]

Young buck.

[A]

Oh, that's the thing. If was more accepting today love of the game.

[D]

The game.

[A]

Then we would be able to look at it differently. But they'd be so defiant when that's really. They bag and back in the day. Maybe you can understand it. But technology is advanced. The doctors got better. Hey, it ain't the same. It ain't the same today. They. They out there today. I mean. Go. Go ahead.

[E]

Stop.

[A]

I'm just telling.

[E]

It's okay.

[A]

I'm saying I know. All right, I'm done. We know.

[E]

We know the spots.

[A]

All right, I'm done. I'm done. Wait.

[C]

No, they're all.

[B]

Sorry.

[E]

No, hold on.

[C]

Wait, wait, wait.

[E]

Let me just be.

[C]

What are the busy days?

[E]

There are some spots.

[C]

No.

[E]

Because I'm not into outing anymore.

[B]

1.

[E]

But there are some spots that are hiring trans bartenders and dancers. That's what I would refer to. It was a joke. But I'm not gonna hire anyone. But the. The.

[A]

The. You'll know if that happens to you.

[C]

Who?

[A]

Anybody.

[B]

We'll know what?

[A]

Who you'll know if your bartender was trans, the drink would be better. They hit the shaker. Hate the strength.

[E]

Yo, there was one moving around that you couldn't know. Hold on, wait. There was one moving around that you didn't know moving. There was one moving around outside in the street that you. That be in the club that you didn't know that she got. The person got exposed.

[A]

Not true. I. If they was in the club, I knew him.

[E]

No, what I'm Saying is that the naked eye didn't know. Not you personally.

[A]

I knew naked transgender work and nightlife in New York City. I knew.

[E]

The naked eye didn't know. That's what I'm saying.

[A]

Not you, Joe. Okay. Okay.

[E]

Now, who was not affected by the transgender allegations?

[C]

I don't want to out anybody but. Or remind people of situations because we live in such a transphobic society that I don't want that to be a thing. What I will say is that there are people who have been chased by certain rumors and allegations at moments, and they were able to continue their career just fine.

[A]

Yeah. That's why Mark is here.

[D]

Yeah, he's good at that.

[E]

Anybody that.

[A]

No, Mark is good.

[E]

Anybody that keep us out of trouble.

[A]

He just said no.

[B]

He answered you.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

See?

[A]

And that's where he make his brand being a joke. What else, what else, what else, what else, what else is there?

[C]

Since we talk about, is there any new music? I know we. There's a couple albums that I feel like we kind of. It skipped past the last couple weeks. One of them for me was Crit, by the way. I don't know unless I wasn't here when we talked about it, but Big Crit dropped the album a few. I know you into that Southern stuff sometime. That's why I thought you might not.

[E]

I'm surprised.

[A]

Freeze.

[C]

Yeah. But I actually think that it was a strong album. Not his best work, but a good album. If y' all haven't had a chance to check out, it's a lot of tracks. More tracks than I would have wanted. I think he could have whittled it down to 12 to 14 instead of like 20 something. But it's a good album. Crit dropped a really good album. There's also some other new music that came out. We mentioned Game. I know we talked about Game before, but I've sat with it. That's another album that's really, really, really strong. Got better and Nas Premium got better for me again. I started with it's good. Then I went to like, it's really good. Now I'm like, I get what they were doing. And it took a minute to sit with me, honestly. Yeah.

[B]

I'll go back, check it out.

[E]

We need you to check it out. Freeze. And we're looking forward to your. Your yearly. Your Freeze report.

[A]

It's coming.

[C]

It's time.

[E]

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that.

[B]

It's coming.

[E]

I learned a lot of about music from you, Yo. It should be on point. I'm looking forward to That I copped.

[A]

I copped the Olivia Dean.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

[D]

Yeah, you're gonna love that.

[C]

You're gonna love it.

[A]

I certainly.

[B]

One to ten.

[D]

I mean, a strong eight, maybe.

[C]

I would say nine, but yeah.

[A]

Yeah, I was a little late to that Tame Impala album, but another really, really, really great project.

[D]

Yeah, I love the first half of that album. It got a little too edmy, I think, at the end, if I remember correctly.

[A]

Yeah, see, But I like that there's.

[D]

A rock band called Geese that put out a really dope project. If you feel like some alternative rock.

[A]

I love alternative rock.

[D]

We're talking about off the.

[C]

And I don't know if y' all listen to Chica's album Underground Hip Hop.

[D]

Who is it?

[C]

Black Woman. Chica.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Really, another really, really good album. Chick is dope. Thank you. Another really, really good album to listen to this year. Just a lot of underground. There's so much music that came out this year that it was like. It went from like, damn, I wish something good would come out, to everything good came out. Then a couple of underground things and a couple other things kind of slipped past. So in the last couple weeks, I've been getting back in. Like I was saying, when you got up, Crit, Chica. There's a couple people whose shit I've been really rocking with lately.

[E]

When Mark Cool with niggas, he just.

[C]

I don't know any of these people.

[E]

You do tell us. Any of these people shout out to Chica, this you do now to me, you know?

[B]

And also, I mean, this ain't really the place to discuss it, but Max B did drop public domain 7 out of the blue without any. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's going on. The album dropped Monday, and then Monday night, the deluxe dropped with, like, six more records. Features on there. A Boogie Lola Brook he kept in New York with the features.

[C]

Fire.

[B]

There's a Red Cafe feature on there. There was a feature that was supposed to be on there that didn't come through, which would have been amazing. I hope it still comes through. Maybe they make it a remix or something.

[C]

It's probably been double deluxe. It's coming out tomorrow.

[B]

I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's happening. I would say it's a couple records I don't like at all. I Don't like. Then there's classic Max B sound on there. There's a French and Chinks record that is fire, but overall it's a return project. I'll see. We'll see where we go.

[A]

Got you.

[E]

You see what he do next after that?

[B]

Well, they already announced. They doing a lot. They already announced him and French are dropping the album.

[E]

Do Capo got anything to worry about? Huh? Do capo got anything to worry about?

[B]

What you mean?

[E]

Just being funny?

[B]

Oh, no, no, no.

[A]

Hell no.

[C]

Yo, I just downloaded it. 30ch tracks.

[B]

That's the deluxe.

[C]

Wow. Okay, I. I'll listen to it this weekend. Not really.

[E]

When I say listen, but.

[C]

I mean, if the fold. The. The folded remix didn't, like, inspire, like, confidence that I'm, you know.

[B]

Oh, snooze is on there.

[C]

Oh, word.

[B]

If you like the folded remix. He also did snooze.

[A]

It's just snoozing now.

[B]

Oh, well, that's not his bag. I expect him to snooze.

[A]

Come on, don't do that.

[E]

That.

[B]

I'm chill.

[A]

Y' all was just in little hood club.

[C]

What's the best song on there?

[A]

The.

[B]

The French and Chinks record. I forget the name of it.

[C]

Can we get a little taste of it?

[E]

Freeze. What advice would you.

[C]

And I asked you this before.

[E]

Yo, what advice? You.

[C]

Okay? All right.

[A]

Free.

[C]

I really haven't heard it. I hope it's good.

[B]

Don't worry about it, all right?

[C]

I'll check it out when I get home.

[B]

Like I said, this ain't.

[A]

This ain't the place for that. Go ahead. Yeah. We such a awkward bunch. Are we.

[E]

Are we moving on from this? No, no. I wanted to know I was still speaking about Max, but if we move on, we.

[C]

Yeah. Asap. Album finally dropping. Big news.

[B]

Also featured on Max's album.

[E]

What advice would you give him?

[A]

Leave me alone. I'm not playing no game with you.

[C]

Asap. Rocky.

[B]

It appears it's actually happening. I. I'm. This is up there with the albums. I don't believe it's dropping, but they've went into full roll out mode. There's billboards and the vinyls now they're actually marked that they're shipping. It's supposed to be dropping in the next, like, two weeks or so called don't be dumb.

[A]

So I believe it.

[B]

Yeah, I think I believe it. I think it's actually dropping. Like, I haven't seen this much movement around. Around the album. It's just been announcements.

[A]

Why I believe it ain't gonna make no sense or sound coherent to nobody out there.

[B]

Why you believe I knew he was gonna do that?

[A]

I just wonder because he was at Loaded Lux the other day. Yeah, I feel like that's some you do when the album's done, I feel like.

[B]

But he pops out though.

[A]

Popping out and popping out to the Loaded Lux watch party in Harlem. I don't think is the same thing. I think that's something you do when music is done also. I mean, I put another one in there. I love her.

[E]

That's.

[C]

Hey, need a reason.

[A]

I mean, come on. Don't make me say it. Hey, come on. Put another one up in there. Give you some more company while get your ass. Hey, hey, you. You anti good. Here's my list of things I'm anti you doing. Get your ass in there. Listen, you making jokes, then it's that too. Then it's that. You got to get. You got to the third one or the fourth. Wanna. I believe that asap Rocky has music coming. I'm making a lot of jokes right now, but I do believe he has music. He's been working on music. I believe that since he was running around doing the Tyler the creator, like it's been a while. He beat his gun case like everything in life. Great. He's the best dressed rapper out there.

[B]

Creative director.

[A]

He got away from him all the. He ain't want to be around him. He's chilling. That's back to living. Living a bunch of lives in one. Aging with grace. Doing what the you want to do. I'm all for that. I can't wait to hear it. I hope it's some heat on it.

[B]

Yeah, I hope.

[A]

I hope it's some heat on you.

[D]

It's pretty interesting. Danny Elfman is producing it.

[A]

I didn't hear that.

[D]

Oh, he did the Simpson.

[A]

This is my first time theme song.

[D]

And a lot of like movie scores and stuff.

[A]

See, that's exciting to me.

[D]

It is. It's interesting.

[A]

Go in there and do something different. Your money different. Your money different. Hey, who me? Who did the Simpson song go get? Bring him to me. Yeah, I'm with all of that. So can't wait to hear what ASAP Rocky's been working on. The rest of you niggas are on break, I assume until the end of January, middle of February, Valentine's Day. Roll around. That's when we get some new music. I still. I've still had nothing but seven Streeter on repeat. I went back in the whole old catalog. 7th streeter got way too many songs that I like and might have forgot about, like dating back to 2014. So that's what I've been doing. I've been watching old movies and listening to old albums by. By artists who have catalog. Go catalogs.

[B]

All right, Joe, let's get to it.

[D]

Let's do it.

[A]

I also heard real quick while we in the music coming in and out of this, I heard a clip of Skilo on Sway in the Morning. Skilo. I wish I was taller. I wish I was a baller. I wish I had a girl that looked good. I would call and Sway asked him about, yo, how do you, how do you feel when you hear the one hit wonder tagline? I know you've heard it. I know you've heard that in your career before. Like, how do you feel about it? Boy, I love hearing some of the older old niggas talk, even if they only had one song you know about. He was like, well, you can't look at me as a one hit wonder because I was nominated for best rap album, my entire album of songs in 1995 when the nominees were. He was naming names, Big Dogs, outkast and this and that. My entire collection of songs was nominated. So one, my whole album was a wonder in that category, you bitch ass niggas. One, I'm adding that part.

[B]

I ain't even mad at it. And two, it terrible.

[A]

He said, he said, well, he start, he, he led with what was light and he closed with two. I never sold my publishing.

[D]

A lot of people.

[A]

I never sold my publishing in my entire life.

[D]

A lot of people have used the.

[A]

I wish I got, I got, I got a admin deal. I have, I have my own publishing been eaten for years off my. And it catapulted last year or two, two years ago when AT&T called for my song in the Super.

[C]

I've been hearing that on there.

[A]

And not only did my song, but my album did rose 894% over this amount of time. So I mean, what could they really say to me? I was home. Like bravo or bravo. I love to hear a success story from an unexpected place.

[B]

Right?

[C]

One hit was all he needed.

[A]

And you know what else I want to shout out while the years is dwindling down? I want to shout out our black people tiny desks. That's going on out there in the South. I've been meaning to do it for a while, but the on the Porch series, oh yeah, that's heat. Where musicians and singers and everybody come in front of just the old porch in the south and get to jamming. I absolutely love it.

[C]

Brilliant.

[A]

Bravo. Thank you. You putting you putting a light on people that some of these other places. Hey, hey. Tiny desk. Told life. Jennings. Peace. Sorry. Nah. Yeah, they told that to life. So I love that on the port series. Highlighting people that you maybe even forgot about. Had all the slaps. The same goes for that Cadillac series.

[B]

I see that one.

[A]

Yes, you did. And if you didn't, I'll show it to you. When they driving in a Cadillac and somebody in the passenger seat. They just had Jeff Red on a few weeks ago. Jeff Red. He was in that Cadillac singing. Did he sing? About five songs. I'll show it to you. But those two series, Chef's Kiss. Very well done. And I enjoy you so much. Privately. I felt like I should say something publicly about these two platforms. Anyway, you were saying big freeze.

[B]

Oh yeah. I was just saying let's get to it, man. Mayor Kingstown.

[D]

Let's do it.

[C]

I tried to watch the first episode. By the way, I'm gonna tap out by. I tried to watch the first episode. My wife, she couldn't. She wasn't.

[B]

First episode of the series or the season.

[C]

Yeah. Of the whole thing. I've never seen it before.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[C]

It's good. It's good. It was just a little too heavy for her because she doesn't like the. She gets depressed and sad about like heavy shit.

[B]

It's the. Some of the beauty that just goes unacknowledged. If that's the word.

[E]

Right.

[B]

Yeah. Is the people that set the setting. Mayor of Kingstowne is purposely dreary. It's dark, it's gloomy. It's every single episode. I don't think it. We're not feeling like, yeah, Twilight, you know, Bullshit.

[C]

When does it hit its peak?

[B]

Like.

[C]

Cuz I felt like I'm going have to get. Get through the first season.

[B]

No, you're not.

[A]

No, you're not.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

This ain't one of those.

[C]

It's not. I've had.

[B]

I know what you mean. There's certain shows where it's like, all right, this is dragging.

[C]

And like Suits didn't get good to like season three.

[D]

I never saw it.

[B]

Suits was great. No, and suits was better.

[C]

It didn't get to his. It didn't get to its peak until season three. It was good from the beginning.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But it. It took a while to build up.

[B]

How this show here, they get to it very, very early.

[C]

Very early. Okay.

[B]

Very early.

[C]

All right, I'm gonna stick with it then.

[B]

You Only on first episode.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

Maybe by the end of the first episode, you might not.

[D]

It takes a little. It's a slight small.

[C]

Get to it, y'. All.

[B]

Where do you want to start with this one? I think the writing on this season of Mayor of Kingstowne is amazing.

[A]

It is.

[B]

We.

[C]

We.

[B]

We've argued the last couple weeks about what we thought was going to happen, and I think when you can't predict shit, I think that just makes it that much more fire. Yep. Joe and Ice, I think you, too.

[D]

What?

[B]

Thought that Kyle was gonna.

[A]

Yeah, Yeah.

[D]

I was on the fence. I said I could see how.

[B]

I didn't have him dying. I didn't have Callahan getting out of jail. I didn't have them getting homeboy until next season. Season. The black dude.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I didn't think they were gonna lock him up or kill him until the next season. I didn't think he would be done this season. So far, fam.

[E]

The.

[B]

The co going completely ape.

[D]

That was crazy.

[B]

Was some of the wildest I've seen.

[D]

That was the craziest part of the episode for sure.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Spoiler alert.

[B]

Spoiler alert. Sorry. I forget my man name. I don't even. He lost it in. In there, and I thought, nah, he can't go out like that. I thought. I thought he was going to get. I'm like, he can't. Not like that. And that scene with Mike and Kyle where you trying to talk them off.

[C]

The.

[B]

Like, when he went to go visit him, they're gonna nominate that for something. Like the conversation he had, the acting in that.

[E]

The.

[B]

The emotion in that. Like, yo, I need you.

[E]

You.

[B]

Your son needs you. You have a son. Like, I can't get through this without you. Stay strong. He was like, yo, I know what's next. He's going to go kill himself. Sorry for. Trick trigger for.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You think Kyle is. No, no, no, no, no.

[A]

I'm saying this.

[B]

This was. Yeah, he was. He had. He had to go talk to him. If you had to go talk to him and bring your son into it, he would have been irrational and did something crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I mean, he. Even when the. The gunman was in the jail cells.

[B]

Right there, he was ready.

[D]

Yeah, he was ready. You watched the episode, right?

[A]

Yeah, I saw it.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

What.

[A]

You.

[B]

What's your takeaways?

[A]

I really. I didn't want to sound like a broken record. This is best. Best season. Best season by far. Anxious to see how they close out all these. All these things. That was my favorite part of. Of the episode. Is Cal being ready for death? Walking up to the cells, trying to kill me. I have nothing to live for without saying it.

[B]

Just a look on his face. Even a surprise moment. The gun kind of had a little smirk.

[A]

He's ready to go. Yeah, he's ready to go. So the speech between him and his brother. Awesome, powerful. Everything is everything. Everything is great. I'll wait until they put a bookend on this season to really come in here and talk.

[B]

There's one thing I ain't like. Mike standing there when they locked up the dude.

[D]

That was weird.

[B]

Yeah, it was weird when they bought Moses. Moses. Frank.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Frank Moses. When they brought him to the police station. And Michael standing there. That was weird to me.

[A]

Why?

[D]

Because he plays both sides?

[B]

Because he plays both sides. He's the mayor. Right? So you're not supposed to let him know I did this to you. You understand what I'm saying? Like, you kind of ratted on him or set him up. He ain't rattled him. He set him up. But he told. He told him, though. He told him like you. You wondering why Lamar was the dude. Because you what you did. We know it was you. Yeah, but he ain't. He broke it all the way down. So now he still played the mayor role. I'mma go get him for you. This ends today. You and Bunny, all that shit is over. You go get him. Don't nobody know nothing. You handle that. But he had the cops waiting for him once.

[A]

In relation to what you're saying, my problem, and I'll keep it short, is not Mike being there when Frank Mo just got brought in, but it's the sob story that he sold him as to why at the train track. Facts as to why he's even down to let Frank take over. And listen, man, I've suffered so much, so many losses. I'm just tired of the game. And if you're the king of Kingstown, and that's what brings the piece, it's.

[B]

Like, nah, Frank should be smarter than that. That's what I took from him. For you to evade.

[A]

That was my only issue.

[B]

Other than that, for you to be so elusive and evade them for. He had what, a 30 year run, he was saying. Or 50 year run, I think it was.

[E]

Was.

[B]

But when you have this long of a run, you supposed to peep that.

[A]

Yeah. Who they painted Frank to be. There was no way he should have killed that dude in that house.

[B]

Emotions.

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

I get him killing the dude in the house.

[E]

Yo.

[B]

Know why I need to do that? One that was.

[A]

You need to take the tape off his mouth and listen.

[B]

That's what I thought was about to.

[A]

Happen and how they've positioned Frank Moses. I just swore that was what was going to happen. But we shall see. There's one more episode left. I can't wait. I cannot. And they going to to bleed us. They're going to bleed us before we get another season, I'll tell you that.

[B]

Oh no. Frank's out of here. They going to poke him up soon as he coming to jail.

[D]

Oh, oh, yeah.

[B]

He's out rapping him.

[A]

Waiting for him.

[B]

Yeah, Raffy.

[A]

And I'm waiting for him.

[B]

Soon as he come into jail.

[E]

He's a rat.

[B]

But Callahan is still out. How about this? So call the finale.

[C]

What happens with Callahan?

[B]

So the two things. Now I'll tell you something I did.

[A]

Here and in closing because we know.

[B]

So remember at the end with the c. See the. The scene. I mean the. The episode goes off when the dude opens fire on the diner dudes. They're saying that that is Robert. Robert the cop. They're saying that he didn't pass away. We never saw his body.

[D]

But they were. They took him out of the thing.

[B]

Yeah, I'm just telling you what I did. I didn't say like there's some conspiracy theory.

[A]

Get your ass out of here. I'm telling his fall for everything be conspiracy.

[B]

No, it would be crazy if it.

[A]

Was the same little Mexican Colombian. That or Callahan.

[B]

Those are the two. I don't even think it's.

[A]

And the warden made the call and then like they showed the call like it's. We'll see. We'll see. I don't want to see the end. Hypothesize. No, keep us going.

[B]

One more thing. Who. We don't know who the warden called.

[A]

We know that right after the warden made that call, somebody popped up and sprayed up their little dog diner.

[B]

We saw Callahan make a phone call on the flip phone he did to somebody when he was sitting down. Nobody knows who he called. He might have been calling the warden.

[A]

We will find out.

[B]

Find out.

[A]

We will be off this Friday, Saturday next week. We'll get right back to it. There's your Mary Kingstown analysis. I don't have anything else written down. Topic wise. I don't have anything else that's burning a hole in my heart.

[B]

I want to ask a sports question real quick.

[A]

Oh, my favorite part. We killing now down to some sports.

[B]

I just want to get. Did y' all see the DK Metcalf Interact with the fan.

[C]

Yes, I did. What.

[B]

What are your thoughts on that?

[C]

What happened?

[A]

What do you think our thoughts are on a guy his size walking. Walking over to the stands and doing the Ron Artest?

[C]

Oh, I think.

[A]

I mean he didn't connect. He swung on corner.

[D]

Yeah, he hit him.

[A]

Oh, and it was just a little smack.

[B]

It wasn't a pain.

[A]

Floor him. But you can't do that.

[B]

I think you're highly irresponsible. I think that you are in the position of this and trash talking from fans and DK Metcalf, not a rookie. DK Metcalf has been around the NFL for a very long time. You shouldn't even have walked over there to engage him in that manner at all.

[A]

But why you ask us what we think?

[B]

I just was asking.

[A]

He seems like such an obvious, obvious answer. No, we not with big giant athletes.

[B]

Walking to the stands and pouncing on the mic. He might feel on the other side.

[A]

That's why I'm asking.

[B]

I don't.

[E]

You said the fan said something racial to him, right?

[B]

He said the fan called him a N word and said something about his mom's. The fan is saying, I never did that. I just called him by his government name and he hates that. And then they're also reporting that they've had him and this particular fan has had an interaction in the past. So I was just. Just getting everybody's take on it.

[A]

No, you're saying like you with the chips but you don't want to say.

[B]

Yeah, if I'm with it, I'm with it. I. I don't think just, you know me.

[E]

I'm.

[A]

I'm. I don't believe be with it. Your team won a game that they wasn't supposed to win.

[E]

Playoff.

[A]

Playoff implications. Y' all looking good. Your A. Rogers looking better than I'm with you should be the last that want your big signee receiver over the summer to go do that.

[B]

That's what I want to be suspended for a game or two.

[A]

Games.

[B]

Two games. And this affects his contract.

[C]

I'm reading now. So it says if the suspension is upheld, It'll cost him $277,770 a game or just more than 555,000. But that's not to the side. It said the suspension will void. Will void at least $45 million in future guaranteed money over the next two years if it's upheld because his current contract has a penalty if he fails to practice or play with the club for any reason, including suspension. His Guarantees will be null and void. So he loses his guaranteed money because of suspension.

[B]

Five Michaels.

[C]

Yes.

[E]

Sheesh.

[B]

Ain't nothing that. And that's why I'm saying I'm not. I'm not on the other side of that. There's nothing about that. Talk about my mama, fam.

[A]

You got a big dog.

[B]

I stood on stage while a girl.

[A]

Was talking about my mama battle rapping, my brother.

[B]

And I ain't get 45 million for that.

[A]

Well, you got paid and you sold your mama out. Back to what I was saying about Nicki Minaj.

[B]

I sold mom's people.

[A]

Some people.

[B]

I sold mom's ass.

[A]

Wait, what's your background? You're not full black, right?

[E]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Stop, stop.

[B]

What's up with you, yo?

[E]

Yeah, stop throwing shots at us.

[C]

Yo, he not. He not. We all.

[A]

We all throwing shots. We all in the same game.

[E]

We all won. Stop throwing shots at us.

[A]

We all in the same game.

[B]

Like I said, I sold mine.

[A]

This is just a little small pattern happening.

[E]

You about to have a. You got Caribbean kids. You about to have a Caribbean.

[A]

She's all types of, though.

[E]

She's Trinidadian. She's half Trinidadian, bro.

[A]

And that, and white. And she's some other.

[E]

She knows Trinidad.

[A]

It's old big man.

[E]

So you about.

[C]

You about to.

[E]

You about to be down.

[C]

I got.

[A]

I got clipped and didn't tell her. Now what you going to say? I take this content to the next level.

[E]

You did not get clipped.

[C]

You a get clipped.

[A]

I got clipped and didn't tell her.

[C]

You're lying.

[A]

Now what. Now what you going to do? That would be so. That's not true. I love you, baby. I don't think that would be foul, but I know your body, your choice. If I were presented with the argument.

[E]

That's a good thing. Freeze.

[B]

Your body of choice. But you ain't got too many things.

[E]

You tell his partner.

[A]

They don't. That's not true.

[B]

You don't have to.

[A]

That's not true.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

That's not true. I feel like we've had that debate up here before.

[B]

I'm on the other side of that debate, and I'm gonna stay on the other side of the debate. That is your choice. If you choose to make that decision for you, you could do that.

[A]

And when I say part. Okay, what I'm saying, the person you want to marry, the person you want to marry, the person you want to propose to, the rules change for me. And I think you do owe that. Now, I don't like the word oh.

[E]

If you want to.

[C]

Patreon conversation. Yo, we got. Oh, you said we've had it before.

[B]

We have not. Not this one. Let's do it on Patreon, then.

[E]

My question to you before we go to Patreon.

[A]

Patreon ain't starting on Patreon Avenue.

[B]

So if a woman comes to you and you want to have kids, and you are. And you are.

[E]

And her tubes are tied, and she.

[B]

Ties her tubes, but don't tell you you think that's okay, she has that choice to do so. I will be upset.

[E]

You think it's a physicist.

[B]

I'm not gonna say, oh, I'm happy with it.

[E]

So you don't feel it's okay.

[B]

It's okay. Her choice. Yes, it's okay. Her not telling you. Peace. I'm going to be upset at that. Just like the girl in this instance could be upset that you went and got. Don't have to tell nobody that you getting something done to your body.

[C]

You think it's morally, ethically wrong to not tell the person.

[A]

That's against the whole. The whole. What a relationship even means.

[B]

What are we talking about? Okay, fam, you getting with this.

[E]

My wife change her head. Don't tell me. I get tired.

[B]

Yo, you getting with this woman and. Or man have to tell you and. And. And. And it's a fact.

[C]

I'm sorry.

[A]

Can y' all let him talk?

[B]

Yo, you getting with this man or this woman in hopes to build a family, and that is one of your things. Like, y' all want to have a family, and they know damn well you want to have a family, and they fronting. Like, they trying to build a family with you, and you come to find out that they either got snipped or they tied their tubes. That is deception.

[A]

My. I think that's.

[B]

Unless the conversation was, you are deceiving somebody. Like.

[E]

That's speak for me.

[A]

You feel the same as Ish.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. I think it's. I think it's. Obviously, it's your choice. You can. Yeah, it's just choice. That's not the question. The question is. Is it? Yeah, but we're trying to.

[A]

We're saying is your choice is up to the person that you're.

[E]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

You can burn somebody. That's a choice. You know what I mean? Don't mean it's right.

[B]

I'll agree with that. It's up.

[C]

Okay.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

But you should have done up things in relationships.

[C]

Yeah, Yeah. I just wanted to know if you thought this was one of Those up things.

[A]

Cool.

[C]

Then we on the same page.

[A]

There you go. And this is just for. This is just for.

[D]

I think that if you have a discussion, it's fine. If you say, I don't want to have kids, and then you do it.

[C]

I did this.

[B]

In fact.

[D]

Yeah, I think that's fine. But if your partner wants to have kids and you go and do it, that's up.

[B]

Or you omit the fact that you've already had it done. Like, yo, if you know this woman wants kids and you know you snipped already and you can't have no kids and you just sitting here. Mum's the word.

[D]

That's the key, right? That's the key.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I would dump in there and ruin the lie. She would know. She would know. I couldn't keep that up.

[B]

Yeah, like this. Come on, bro. I think this morals be.

[A]
