They deep-dive into weight-loss medications, the changing landscape of New Year's Eve in NYC, the Drake/Steak lawsuit, generational habits, sexual politics in work and relationships, cultural moments in music, and the yearly “wrap-up” tradition, all while keeping the banter lively and the stories personal.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. New Year Vibes and Ozempi (“Zepbound”) Weight Loss Drug

[03:14 – 09:51]

• Joe reveals he tried the weight-loss medication Ozempi (“Zepbound”), joking about how it instantly suppressed his appetite.
  • "I took a little zap... I'm not gonna hold you, that little—I'm telling you, it's potent and it works." – Joe [05:28]
  • Demona and others share their own experiences with the drug, describing the difficulty eating and its potent effects on desire and energy.
• Debate about the real intended use of the drug, public perceptions, and side effects.

2. How the Crew Spent New Year’s Eve

[10:01 – 19:59]

• Most chose to stay home or host intimate gatherings, reflecting a shift from wild parties to peace and comfort.

  • "This is the first time I think I've ever gone to sleep before, like, the ball drop." – Ice [17:54]

• Conversation detours into unexpected New Year’s Eve commotion, including random neighborhood fireworks/gunfire.

3. Changing Culture of New Year's Eve & Urban Paranoia

[23:39 – 27:46]

• Recap of New Year’s TV coverage feeling lackluster and NYC’s Times Square losing its traditional cachet.

  • "The rest of the world is whooping our ass in New Year's Eve celebrations... New York look bland as hell." – Ice [25:30]

• Anxiety about large crowds post-COVID and ongoing societal unpredictability. Most agree they now prefer “in-the-house” celebrations and see NYE as less safe and glamorous.

4. Goals and Resolutions for 2026

[29:40 – 34:49]

• Financial wellness and debt-freedom are a common goal.
• Others focus on fitness, strength-building, building new habits, and "writing it down."
  • “I never thought resolutions were corny. I like the energy of ‘it’s a brand new year’... I’m writing all my shit down.” – Demona [31:34]
• Joe wants to work on brain/body health and (comically) going on a cruise for the first time.

5. Cruises: Fear, Fun, and Black People on Boats

[35:01 – 38:48]

• Crew debates the merits and fears of cruises. Ice extols cruise life, while Joe and others express suspicions and concerns about being stranded or targeted at sea.
  • "If I'm gonna do a boat, put some luxury on the boat." – Joe [36:06]

6. The Steak, Drake & Aiden Ross RICO Lawsuit

[40:20 – 47:03]

• Breakdown of the civil RICO case accusing Drake, Steak (gambling platform), Aiden Ross, and others of facilitating money transfers to boost streaming numbers, misleading consumers with "house money" betting, and circumventing US gambling regulations.
  • “They’re saying they’re misleading people into thinking it’s real money, but it’s all house money.” – Ice [43:31]
• The consensus: big checks may get paid, but individual users may see little; most see it as the latest cat-and-mouse, with regulators playing catch-up.
  • Notable admonition: “You ain't hustling on this block... Not under that set of rules.” – Ice [47:09]

7. Spirituality and New Year Traditions

[51:26 – 52:32]

• Debate about prayer at New Year's—Joe is adamant about praying at midnight, while the crew jokes about how/when they include spirituality.
  • “It is never a bad time to pray... Even in fake calendar time.” – Joe [52:11]
• Extended comedic riff on "Pastor Joe" leading the club in prayer.

8. Generational Relationships, Social Media, and "Moving Around"

[55:56 – 68:47]

• Jokes about younger generations, knowing people through family connections, and the influence of parents’ behavior on children.
  • “If your parents grew up worshipping Birkin bags and Benzes... you as a kid put that to the highest level of priority.” – Ice [59:05]
• The Diggs brothers (NFL) come up—Joe and crew debate "running around" as rich, attractive men, hiring attractive assistants, and responsibly managing male/female workplace relationships.

9. Music Recap: The Doechii/Scissor Single & End-of-Year "Wrap Ups"

[79:27 – 87:53]

• High praise for Doechii’s rise and her new collab with SZA.
  • Demona: “I haven’t seen anything like her since Missy... she’s supposed to move up quick.” [82:12]
  • Ice notes some criticisms come from people unaware of her backstory or assuming she's an "industry plant"—debunked by her real grind.
• Annual tradition: Uncle Murda vs. Skills "year wrap-up" tracks reviewed. Uncle Murda’s is comedic and relentless, Skills’ is more somber and reflective.
  • “If we never got another wrap up... at some point they should end. I want those to end before I die.” – Joe [96:24]

10. Advice Segment: Broken Trust Between Friends

[177:37 – 188:31]

• Listener writes in: Should he have told his best friend about another friend's affair with the friend’s baby mom?
  • Consensus: It depends heavily on understanding the friend's preferences ("do you want to know?"). In most cases, best to mind your business unless someone explicitly wants the truth. Revealing the info usually changes or ends the friendship, regardless of intentions.

“Try something different this year. Do something different than you did last year, man.” — Joe [189:33]

I called Michael Paul up, I said, hey, my mom said this shit's supposed to be in the fridge or it go bad. He says, has it ever been in the fridge? I say, nah, this shit been up here for a while. He said, has it been a month? I said, nah, it ain't been a month. He says, you should still be good, but you should use it. If you're gonna use it, use it. Cause it's going bad now I'm staring at the shit, I'm like, I don't know.

[B]

Could've just threw it in the garbage.

[A]

I said, I don't know, man, I'm scared. He said, dawg, you have some of the roughest, toughest skin that I know. This little bit of needle ain't about to bother you none, trust me.

[B]

Oh, you're scared over the needle?

[A]

No, it just looked like a contraption in the box. That look like something that's supposed to be at Iron man house or something. For when act up. Take that, man. Took me a little fat did that. I ain't ate since that different, bro. No, I am not gonna hold you that little. I'm telling you, is potent and it works. I tried to eat last night. My baby made black eyed peas, collard greens, you know, all that south shit rice. You know the day, first day I took a bite like that was good.

[D]

She probably whoop your ass.

[A]

She was in that kitchen slaving for about eight hours. I'm in the bed. First of all, I spent the whole first day of the year in bed.

[D]

Me too, for the most part. I had to go to a party later on and that was rough.

[A]

Anywhere I was supposed to be, I didn't go and I didn't text and say I ain't coming. I laid in the bed, I took one bite of black eyed peas, rolled my ass over.

[C]

That's hilarious.

[A]

That was it. I ain't have no dick for you, no nothing. That bullshit works.

[B]

So now. So what you gonna do now? You gonna keep.

[D]

Do you have to keep taking it?

[A]

Well, you can stop it whenever you want. You can. You gotta take it once a week. And if you don't want to take it, you don't want to take it.

[C]

I see, I tried.

[A]

So I took it just on some. Let's see what this is about. I ain't know that shit was gonna be. I mean, this ain't an ad, so I'm gonna shut up about it. But I. See, I totally get it. I totally understand.

[C]

I tried it.

[A]

That should help with some other things too. We'll talk about it.

[C]

What?

[A]

Urges, Urges, urges. So whatever urge you have. Urge to smoke, urge to drink, urge to go walk to the fridge late at night and get a grape.

[D]

Yeah, it's all over.

[C]

I tried it.

[B]

How'd you like it?

[C]

It's too strong. Like. Like I was like having to spit gum out. Like I couldn't even take the flavor of gum. I had to have nothing. Like, nothing. I only tried.

[A]

You don't normally spit out.

[B]

Can you.

[C]

I can't even get back to where I was. Oh. But no, I couldn't. I couldn't eat. So then I was like trying to, like, just eat candy or have something, some type of taste, and I couldn't. I just. I couldn't with it because then it's like you have no energy. You know what I mean? You're not eating. You had no energy. So.

[B]

But how that work if you're not eating, like, and you still in the gym? Healthy bro.

[A]

Yeah, he's gonna have to listen. I'm being facetious. Of course I've eaten.

[B]

Some people take everything away from.

[A]

But that, that whole breakfast, that little one 2pm Pepperoni pizza with extra cheese, it's out of here, man. It's done.

[C]

That's good.

[D]

How long is that supposed to. Does it last? A week. And then you get your appetite back.

[C]

Once a week you're supposed to take it.

[A]

Yeah, just once a week.

[C]

So who knows when you get your appetite back for real? Because I felt like I tried it and I still felt like.

[D]

How long did you do it for?

[C]

I only tried it once.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah. It was too much.

[B]

And it gotta leave out your system. So my peoples was on it and they stopped it. But the doctors told them that it would take three or four months to get out their system.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

How long? They did it like six, seven months. Okay. All right. And they told him that for this to wean out their system, it would take months to get out their system.

[A]

Oh, he was fat as hell.

[B]

He wasn't fat at all.

[C]

I think it's still a cool tool.

[B]

He wasn't fat at all.

[D]

I think it's great if you think it's like if you're legitimately overweight and having trouble dealing with it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But it was. But it was. It was never originally for Overweight people selling this.

Yo, surprisingly, the first one sound like that shit was mad far.

[D]

[A]

Yeah. I didn't know I know you would. Yeah, I know.

[B]

It's cool. Get up out of there, man.

[A]

You live too close to that still.

[B]

No, that was loud as hell. I'm not going to lie to you. I never heard no like that. Yeah, you got flashback a little nervous. Nah, I got.

[A]

He jumped. He jumped in the bed like a.

[B]

Now, he told his girl, go check and see what that is. Go look out the window.

[A]

Went to the window, peeked in.

[B]

Crazy as a.

[A]

All right. So, yeah, it was peaceful.

[B]

Peaceful.

[A]

Okay. Peaceful, peaceful. Peace all around the board so far. Damon, you, you, you.

[C]

I cooked and had people over. I'm a New Year's person. I like to cook and have, like, house parties. I would never go outside during.

[B]

Yeah, he ain't bring no nothing. No leftovers either. Nothing.

[A]

Right.

[C]

I was almost not gonna share this because I didn't want to be bombarded.

[B]

What you cook?

[C]

You don't wanna know.

[A]

No, I do, I do.

[D]

I definitely wanna know.

[C]

I made fried cabbage with beef bacon. I made string beans with turkey neck. I made baked macaroni and cheese, yams, fried chicken and a roast.

[B]

And it was all gone before you came in here.

[C]

My cousin made buffalo chicken. Yeah, I had a nightlight. Parks. Like, I woke up there, like, you know what I mean? Oh, okay. I don't know. When nobody left. I don't know none of that.

[D]

Gotta check the cameras.

[C]

I still. I enjoyed myself for what? You know, I was available for everybody. Loved the food, so that was good. The only thing that was shitty was, like, the music. I need to do playlists. You know what I mean? That's like a part. It was me. Everybody was complaining.

[D]

You were cooking and on the Aux.

[C]

Exactly.

[D]

That's too much.

[C]

That shows the type of niggas I'm around.

[D]

So let's take that over.

[B]

Or just like you said, a playlist.

[A]

Well, let me hear what your speaker setup was like this.

[C]

I went to Walmart because I recently moved. I went to Walmart and got the first little speaker I saw for this little small shindig. It was what, 10 people here? It wasn't like, how much was the speaker? 15 people. It was 200.

[B]

I thought you was about to say 39.99 or something.

[C]

No, I ain't that crazy, but it was okay. But I don't know. I need more music, so I want to get like, you know, like a sound system down there.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Because I'm a music person, girl. Okay. I like cooking for my people, so I had fun.

[A]

Did you invite some dick over to stay? To stay? Till after everybody left.

[C]

I didn't because dick don't be around everybody. So it wasn't going.

[D]

You know, you keep them separate.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Or once they leave, then. You know what I mean.

[C]

I don't even speak outside. Is that crazy? I thought you wasn't supposed to speak to each other. People act like I'm wrong for that.

[B]

You're not wrong.

[C]

I don't speak to a nigga, act like I don't know you. You don't like people. Men don't like that. That's crazy.

[A]

Oh, what?

[B]

What?

[A]

It goes different when you're like building towards something.

[B]

I guess I'm not building. It go different. It go different when she got a name.

[C]

That's what the.

[B]

That's what it is.

[C]

That's why. That's my. That's what it is. If I was a regular, he wouldn't give a. But being that I'm. I'm who I am. You want me to it, would you.

[B]

He trying to come up off you.

[C]

I don't care what you did yesterday. Last night. I ain't speaking.

[A]

All right.

[C]

I like what I said. He's right.

[A]

I laughing, but I got no I.

[C]

That's the only reason why they care.

[A]

So you have got it?

[B]

You good?

[C]

I'm having a what?

[A]

So you're having a hard time. I'm getting tricked with. Yeah, me neither. I'm out of there. I'm out of there. You got it. What you doing?

[C]

What.

[A]

New Year's. New Year was what day? Wednesday night. Wednesday.

[D]

Imani was over at the crib and then he said he was going to.

[A]

See wherever you were. Imani will not go home. What the fuck?

[B]

Imani ran with me to the clip show. Geez.

[A]

I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything at all. I was in the house the entire day. And because my lady has been sick since she got here, we kind of have just been in the house for days and days and days and days and days. So right around 8 o', clock, I put on It's a Rockin Jockin Anderson Cooper and then Don Lemon and I'm flicking and I'm watching got performances. It wasn't a bad show. It wasn't a bad little.

[D]

Yeah, I watched a little bit.

[B]

It was.

[A]

And I always planned on just. I always planned on keeping it local. I planned on just like running across the street real quick and hearing some music and.

[D]

Right.

[A]

So in the morning. Oh, that's what happened in the morning. I called the owner of the establishment to talk shit like hey, tonight. And I get the funny international ring, like. And he answered. I said, n. Are you in New Jersey? He said, no, me and my wife took a trip. We closed. We not opening. Sorry.

[D]

Oh, sorry, buddy.

[A]

I was like, all right, that's fine. So now it's.

[D]

Just figure it out.

[A]

I'm in the crib with it. But when I'm watching the Don Lemon in them, they in Times Square live. And it didn't look like a lot.

[B]

Of people to me.

[A]

It didn't look crazy.

[B]

Yeah, it didn't look.

[A]

And then I'm looking, I could see the west side Highway. And I'm like, yo, it don't look like it's much going on over there, right? So we got dressed, we threw something on. Maddie said she was doing something on 57th Street.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

We ran over there, took a couple pictures, heard some music, and by the time the touristy people got in there, I was gone. I left 15 minutes, I was home. It was amazing. It was beautiful.

[B]

That's dope. You know what I noticed about New Year's Eve? And, you know, you watched the ball drop, the countdown and all that shit.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Because we all using these streaming boxes now.

[D]

It was all behind.

[B]

Shit is all over the place.

[D]

I had to ask the party. I was like, are we gonna do phone time or TV time?

[B]

I'm looking, I'm like, this shit. Say 12 o'.

[C]

Clock.

[B]

They had 30 seconds left. Like, it's New Year's already. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

I don't know if I'm just so old that the New Year's that I. New Year's Eve that I remember in Times Square and New York and New Jersey was pandemonium.

[B]

Yeah, it was. It didn't look like that.

[A]

You couldn't go nowhere.

[B]

The city's.

[A]

You couldn't breathe. Shit is shut down. It's fireworks. I didn't see none of that this year.

[B]

And it hit me, like, holy. A lot of travel was up.

[A]

No, the world is different. No, the world is different. People are afraid to come outside.

[B]

And not just that.

[A]

Oh, go.

[B]

You can finish.

[A]

I'm just saying people left. Left New York in mass. Yeah. The people that are in New York that maybe they ain't really trying to come. This was the first year that I was really in alignment. Would stay in the house culture for New Year's Eve. Like, we've been out the country for the last couple years.

[B]

No, but I'm fam. Not just that, though. The rest of the world is whooping our ass in New Year's Eve celebrations. That's my point. Like, is like, we don't need to go see this when they doing what the they doing in Abu Dhabi, in Dubai and all you watch these shits on tv, Times Square look like some. Some bullshit. The people that got. They got drone shows out here going crazy now they're not even doing fireworks. Niggas used to come here for New Year's things for out of towners or people out of the country to come here. Travel was kind of up. And then to what I said you could go to Sydney. And when you see that in Australia, they New Year's Eve looks insane. This like the projects. Yeah. Singapore and all that. This over here look like some.

[C]

So on top of the fact that it's 2025, 2026, being in a group of a large group of people. Being in a large group of people in this country, it's like being a sitting duck. Like, you don't know what's gonna happen. Any of those things where you going with everybody at the movies, the mall. It's been an incident that you. You can think about, think back to. That scares you from wanting to go and be with a bunch of people. Like, fuck that. On top of the fact that the COVID thing, like, you don't really wanna be around a bunch of strangers coughing shit. Like, those days is over. We live in a different way. Like an opposite. It's like, totally different from when we was coming up and what was cool.

[D]

That's fair.

[C]

Mm. Yeah.

[B]

I think New York has lost some of its cachet. A lot of it. Vegas, Miami, like, you just look just international. Just the New Year's celebrations around the country. We won at the top. That they had in Miami was fire. The in Vegas was fire. Like, New York look bland as hell. Everybody out there wearing sponsored gear by a certain company. It just looked like a commercial. It looked goofy as it's like, yo, nobody want to do that.

[A]

Yeah, I think y' all took this somewhere else. I'm just talking as a New Yorker. I wasn't trying to go to Sydney and Singapore. And like, that's cool. But I'm just talking about as a New Yorker that's in New York having the realization that things are different. Not so much the what they doing in Times Square. I don't give a fuck about Times Square. I was never going to Times Square. But just as a whole, they just.

[D]

Weren'T going to Times Square.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

As a tourist.

[B]

But that's the thing. It was a tourist destination, but it's.

[A]

Not Even no tourists up there.

[B]

Because they went everywhere else?

[A]

Well, no, because they won't let them niggas leave. They spot in line and go to the bathroom. So now they gotta stand there with a diaper or a maxi pad or in case they piss. And that don't sound like no fun Korean.

[B]

That's been the thing for years, though.

[A]

They put the Korean nigga right on the news. He pulled a maxi pad right out.

[B]

Y' all piss on this?

[A]

Oh, yeah, the white dude. It was a white dude.

[D]

That's crazy.

[B]

They got a diaper on now.

[A]

You wanna back home. They had the diapers on. They beat the white dude again. Can only get the maxi pad.

[B]

But that ain't worth it, bro.

[A]

Oh, man. So that was that. But I ain't mad it in the house culture.

[B]

Yeah, I love it.

[A]

Have a little kickback.

[D]

That's it.

[A]

Once my house is built, I don't think I'm ever going anywhere else for New Year's Eve.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Once my house is built, I might just be on some. On some. I'll sit here.

[B]

I got it all here. I ain't got to go nowhere. Yeah, I'm wrong with that.

[D]

The outside shit is closed.

[C]

You just all come over there.

[A]

Well, then you got to trust the dancer that you're hiring.

[B]

I know it.

[D]

Gotta bet him a little bit.

[A]

I know it.

[B]

I know it.

[A]

Someone has to bet the damage.

[D]

Someone's got to bet.

[A]

I'm joking. I'll be. Have grown out of that by the time.

[D]

Oh, I'm sure that.

[B]

How long before your house built?

[A]

Some time.

[B]

You ain't growing out of that now. Who you? It's us, man. It's us.

[A]

Should be about a two year process.

[B]

Oh, Nick.

[C]

Is that something you're supposed to do?

[A]

I'm over it already.

[C]

Is that something you're supposed to grow out of it? Is it something called too old to be in a strip club?

[B]

No. Are you.

[C]

Exactly.

[A]

It's not about that. It's more just about like. Like, just where's your mind? Like, where's your mind? Like. Like I start. I start every year on some. I'm sitting. I'm sitting down, I don't want to be seen type shit. Then I did take some money and go buy some gold and silver.

[B]

Did you?

[D]

Okay.

[A]

All right. And it just made me look at my stripper money differently. That gold and silver shoe, how to get on there like bitcoin.

[D]

It's not bad. Not a bad investment.

[B]

That just is active crazy for the last 10 years.

[A]

Well, I'm talking about the last week. Hey, the last week. Woo. Anyway, come on. New Year's resolutions.

[B]

Oh yeah.

[A]

20, 26 predictions. Give me, give me some new goals. Give me all of the corny shit that people do at this top of the year.

[B]

All the bullshit. The resolution that lasts for a week. Not even. You ain't eating no sugar. Come back, see some cookies.

[A]

You talk about, nigga. Come on, let's hear it.

[B]

I mean, my main one started already. I can't call it a New Year's resolution. Cause it was the gym, but I've been in the gym since November, so that's been like. But more so just health, like getting up on top of my health, like staying, you know, I want to eat better. That's, that's, that's the result. Because I'm still even in the gym. That's only part of it. You have to eat better. I'm eating like still. So that's really the main one.

[A]

What you got, girl? What's happening?

[C]

I hate to be the one, but money. I want me some money.

[A]

Oh my God.

[C]

I've been thinking about like a tour. I want to do like a tour through Cali or whatever. And I just want to like, make a couple of investments. Do something besides what I'm doing, you know what I mean? I want to start like. Because I lost a lot of weight last year, but I want to start like, I want to be like the strong, but you know, you lift the weights and shit. Like, I want to build an ass, you know what I mean?

[B]

I got you.

[C]

So definitely getting used to being in the gym with somebody, like, showing me how to do it so I can learn it myself and then keep it up or whatever. But earlier you said something about using the gym all last year. I think that people don't pay attention to that. Like, if that was your goal and you actually kept it up through the year, you're supposed to patch yourself. That's very hard to do. Yeah, that's a big deal. So I don't know. I want all my resolutions to become like, lifestyle changes. Almost everything I want to do, I really want to continue to do.

[B]

Right. It ain't just a year thing, but.

[C]

I never thought resolutions were corny. I like the energy of it's a brand new year. It's not like when it's a brand new month. So a brand new year is always like lit. So I don't know, I'm excited and I'm writing all my down. That's the another thing I Don't always do writing it down. I think it helps you even checking it off or being able to look at what you wrote months ago and where you at now or whatever.

[B]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[D]

That's good.

[B]

That's real good. I need. I need some. Some money.

[C]

Money.

[B]

Yeah. My is really financially driven on another level. Like, my ain't where it should be.

[C]

What you trying to stick some up. It's the way you, like, came.

[B]

So, like, man, some paint you with it. Got this lick over here. You could drive, text me. My shit is really just financially driven for the most part. I've been trying to be a little more healthy. I still got to put the sugar down, but outside of that, everything for me is financial.

[A]

What?

[B]

Unfortunately.

[A]

And.

[B]

I've been saying. I've been saying for months that I'm trying to be debt free, so I'm working toward that. Shit is hard, though. Like, I just don't want to owe nobody no money because I think the economy is about to plummet. So I just don't want to be in this position where I still got all these bills out here. Credit card, this, credit card, that credit card. I'm trying to just be zero and. And. And that shit is hard as hell to do, but that's my goal. Like, I want to be by.

[A]

Like, why is it.

[B]

Why is it so hard to do? Because you got to have money coming in to start paying off all that shit, and my money just be seeming like that shit flying out of my hands.

[A]

You know what I'm saying?

[B]

So I need more income and I need to lower my expenses. So, you know, working in combination, that shit is hard to do.

[A]

Got it.

[B]

And then, you know, the health shit is definitely something. God willing, I'll be 50 in a couple weeks, so that shit is a thing. So, you know, trying to be healthy for my daughters is different.

[A]

Yeah. I want to work more. And in order to work more, I have to take better care of my brain and body.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

So anything that I want to do at this age is all related to health. I was laughing the other day. I got so many just pills in my house. Like, at 45, going on 46, I never took this many pills in my life. You got a cholesterol, a blood pressure.

[B]

Are you at the point where you got the little weekly organizing?

[A]

No, no, no, I'm not. I'm still. I'm still a little spry.

[B]

Now, you could.

[A]

I'm still a little spry because there's no. I mean, I got a Couple pills I got to take every day. I got some other pills in case some other pop up, like a headache. What else? What'd you say? Yeah, threesome.

[B]

I said, yo, you got some other pills just in case some other pop up.

[A]

Oh, I got those pills too. I got those pills too now. I mean, solid. Solid as a rock. You never know when you need to take care of something. Yo, which one is Ashford the man? Huh?

[B]

Which one was Ashford?

[A]

Oh, my God, you limson. That's funny, son. But yeah, so yeah, I'm with y' all on the health shit. I want to work out more. I want to do more. I want to go on a cruise this year, but that's not. I want to go on a cruise. I've never been on a cruise. Me neither. I never go on.

[B]

You know, I be screaming, that Ritz Carlton joint, they don't look bad.

[A]

No, the Ritz Carlton cruise. And how long would you is coming out with a cruise in 2028.

[B]

You said this year.

[A]

Yeah, but they're gonna test it. You wanna be a testable, you'll be.

[B]

A beta tester on a boat.

[D]

You'll be a guinea pig on the.

[B]

Oh, I would definitely go, oh, that.

[A]

Because they don't mean tester.

[B]

I know they don't mean.

[A]

That ain't what they saying. But anyway, yeah, I want to go on a cruise. I know that's not a New Year's resolution, but it's something that is a bucket. I do want to take, like, how.

[B]

Many days would you do a cruise? Cruise.

[C]

And I'm so curious about. Why haven't you been on one?

[A]

My brother tried to drown me when I was young.

[B]

I never been on one.

[C]

I hate the idea of them. That's why I've never been.

[B]

I love a cruise, bro.

[C]

I hate the idea that we have to spend days of travel. So if it's an eight day trip, you might be having three or four of them days at sea just trying to get where you at. I know it's fun on the boat, but I just don't like the idea of being on that boat.

[A]

I'm not a boat guy.

[C]

Me neither.

[D]

I like boats, but that boat's too big.

[B]

I heard you don't. I feel like a boat because it's so big.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I never did one month.

[A]

See, I'm down with that. If I'm gonna do a boat, put some luxury on the boat. But anytime I went to, I forgot where we went. It was the group trip and it was like, oh, let's Go take the boat over here, and then it travels over here, and then it.

[B]

No, that's not that. That's not that. The cruise is.

[A]

Excuse me.

[B]

A cruise ship. Again, I've been on multiple cruises. Cruise ship is like an entire city. No, no, no, no. Don't stunt. I'm just. Y' all said y' all never been on a cruise, so I'm giving you some. Some insight from someone who has a cruise ship is literally like an entire city. On the boat. You talking about 11, 12, 13, 14 floors of. And everything you can imagine, whether it be a movie theater, 20 restaurants.

[A]

All right, slow down.

[C]

Are you cruising?

[A]

That's not the cruise I want to go on.

[B]

I'm not talking about.

[A]

We're not talking about the same. Even. Even in the description. Yo, tell moment that he just. That he described. Of a city. What if I want to profile someone?

[B]

He said tell profile my.

[A]

Now now we on the same boat. That'd be the set. That be the. I just happened to bump into at the bar, the bathroom, everywhere. No.

[B]

Telling you something.

[C]

It must be some type of timeshare thing. Cause. No, no, no. Shade, bro. All of you cruise talk the same. It's like y' all selling this after you get off. I'm telling you, it's four. You four different dinners and three breakfasts, and they got Jamaican food on the second floor.

[A]

Floor.

[C]

And there's in there. Everybody in there. Y' all all sounds like.

[D]

I bet it's a lot of going on in that boat, though.

[C]

It's definitely a lot of fun.

[B]

There's a lot of. But no. No reason why people say that is because people always say I don't want to be out and stranded in the middle of the ocean like that. Yeah, I was the same way on my very first cruise. But until that night when I walked, went all the way up to the top and went to the edge, you forget that. Like, you don't see that you on the water. It's so much going on. It's no different than being on a resort. Like, you do not see that all this shit is going on out here. The Ritz Carlton joints ain't that.

[A]

No, I just googled it.

[B]

I wasn't trying to be funny. I just googled it. But the maximum on these shits is 450. The other crew.

[D]

What'S the other ones?

[A]

I stopped listening to ICE as soon as he said 14. When he said the number 14, I tapped right out of that one. I wish I would. 14 floors of you. You timeshare On a boat. Suck my dick. But now on the Rich Carton cruise, I got the other fear and we can move on. But the other fear of now there's somebody important on here that they'll make this whole boat get missing just to get rid of that one guy.

[C]

Oh, God.

[A]

I've seen too many of those movies, too.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

This whole boat will disappear. Crazy.

[B]

Nothing.

[A]

I believe it happened.

[B]

So, look, you rather be with the 5,300 niggas, or you want to be with the 280 niggas? But one of them niggas is a couple of them niggas. We want to get them.

[A]

It's all scary. Leaving your house is scary.

[B]

I'll take a cruise in a heartbeat, man.

[A]

Leaving your house is scary.

[B]

Shout out to everybody out there that's on the cruises. Salute.

[A]

True. Yeah. Shout out to y'. All. There's some people on vacation right now.

[B]

And I was about to say that, too, with the New Year's Eve. When I opened up my timeline, MAD was away.

[D]

I'm not gonna lie. Our party was. It was probably 15, 20 people there, but there was mad people that couldn't come because they was not here.

[B]

Yeah, wasn't in the States.

[A]

And I see mad people proposing. I see y'.

[C]

All.

[D]

You next.

[A]

My girl. See you, too.

[B]

They putting that pressure on you. Said a lot of people.

[A]

I said, oh, word. For real. Good for y'. All. Love wins again. That's fire. Indeed. That's fire. The news starts showing me all these babies that was born on the first day of the year. I'm like, oh, look at you, you little cool motherfucker. That's a nice birthday to have.

[D]

That is dope. Birthday to have.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

I started thinking of just how old I am. And we can move on. We can find something to talk about. Drake and whatever they doing at State. I do know what that. I like that scam. It's a good scam, yo. Like, at some point you're going to get caught, but for the money that they made and what they did and what they. Man, that is. Am I even allowed to talk about this? Maybe. Anyway, what was I saying? What was I saying before I start.

[B]

Talking about Stick you talking about the New Year's babies and all that type of shit.

[A]

Oh, them babies.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Anyway. Come on.

[D]

Drake and Aiden Ross and AK oh, accent is too.

[A]

Yep. And Lil, that's what I call Aiden Little. He just always somewhere being a. I.

[B]

Ain'T know the homie act was in that.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. All right. Drake and Steak, the online gambling platform, along with others including including Streamer Little Fuckity Fuck are being sued in federal class action rico. The RICO alleges Drake and others named have been using the tipping feature on stake to transfer money amongst each other that is then used to artificially inflate Drake's music streams across major distribution platforms. The docs continue by alleging that Drake knew what was going on, but that the other parties listed were his co conspirators who would mask the money, the money transfer or tipping transfer as various giveaways, et cetera. These transfers were encrypted and not widely available to be seen by the public eye. One alleged example of the tipping scheme in the lawsuit is a very large tip of 100 grand. The lawsuit says this was listed as a tipping transfer between defendants Drake and Lil fuckity fuck in 2023. The doc continues to allege in December of 2024, Drake gave away large sums of money in partnership with and Steak as part of his drizz miss giveaway allegations continue. These tips and many others like them cycled. Among defendants, Drake Ross and George Nagayan. Sorry, Gwen.

[B]

When? When.

[A]

Oh, Gwen.

[B]

No, when? When.

[A]

Just win.

[B]

It's just when.

[A]

Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Who plaintiffs allege would then underwrite botting and paid engagement campaigns.

[B]

It's more to it too. It's not. That's just one part of it is the tipping shit. The main thing is they're saying that Steak is. Steak is listed as a social casino.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

So they're telling people like it's not real money.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

But what you have to do is you have to purchase stake coins, gamble with that and then your winnings you can transfer to real money.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

So it's kind of like they're circumventing some shit.

[D]

Got it.

[B]

You know, there's all kind of regulations in the United States to be gambling. So that's, that's the main focus is that.

[A]

Yeah, is that they're calling themselves a sweepstakes and operating under sweepstakes rules when you're not.

[D]

So Drake and Aiden are just being pulled into this as kind of figureheads. Like people pay attention to it because their names are involved. Otherwise I wouldn't give a fuck.

[B]

So that's where the second part comes in. Second part is because Drake and DU are posting like their, their slips. Their, their betting slips. Yeah, but they're playing with house money, so they're leading. It's. They're saying they're misleading people into one. It's not a real. You're not using real money and we're playing and winning. But in actuality, y' all not putting your money up. But then other people will see you're winning and go play and with their, with their real money.

[D]

Right.

[B]

So it's, it's. You're, you're, you're, you're leading people to gambling by hiding it under something else.

[D]

Interesting.

[B]

And then the tipping thing that Joe broke up is the, is the third point in the rico. It's a civil rico. It's not criminal.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, it's civil. I want to make sure that that's, you know, cleared up. Yeah.

[D]

Also someone's just gonna end up paying.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Not even a 5.

[D]

It's a civil RICO. Then it's not even criminal. There's gonna be.

[B]

The plaintiffs are pay off the people. They're going to pay somebody. The plaintiffs are seeking trouble damages. Three times their losses under the rico. Restitution and disgorgement, which is the return of the profits, injunction relief to stop this conduct, Attorneys fees and costs. So this is all financial. So let me ask you, who are the plaintiffs? People that lost their bread?

[D]

I would assume so. Yeah. Or people that are alleging to have lost bread.

[B]

The plaintiffs in this one. Yeah. It's a class action. Okay. The plaintiffs in this one is. There are Virginia residents. Because this was filed in Virginia. Virginia residents seeking to represent the users. Gotcha. So a group of people in Virginia came together.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that's gonna end up getting 77 cents.

[D]

Yeah. It sounds like a whole bunch of shit. That's not gonna stick.

[B]

$2.81.

[C]

Oh, I don't know.

[B]

I mean, even if it's thick, what happens with them class actions, it starts to be so many people that the payout don't be significant to the winners.

[C]

Yeah. And the first thing I thought was if it's people from Virginia, people from everywhere, like the, the cities that spent the most or where they were, whatever they did the. They paid for the most ads at. You know what I mean? Because that's all it was. They probably was running those ads because that's the thing. People do these scams or whatever you call this, if you call this a scam or whatever you're supposed to call it, Their target, target audience is always poor people or people that are slow. They don't really know what's up. You know, everything looks sweet to them. It's really kind of fucked up.

[B]

And it's the third one One because there was also class action filed in Missouri and one in New Mexico.

[A]

They're.

[B]

Yeah. So this is like an ongoing thing.

[C]

I wonder what happened with the other ones.

[B]

How much did they just was filed not too long ago, last year. Gotcha.

[A]

Which probably says this is not the last of the files.

[B]

50 of them.

[C]

It's going to get started. It's getting everybody states.

[B]

If you start seeing all of the other states and you lost some bread.

[A]

I'm on the other side of what y' all saying. It's something. It's going to be a big checks paid.

[C]

That's what I was thinking.

[B]

Big checks paid out, but not to the users that are filing. That's what we saying. Yeah, that's the thing. They're going to pay some money. Let's say it's $300 million. But you got mad. You got 4, 5, 6 million people that need to get a pay. A payout. It don't be a lot of money when individuals start to get their checks, is what I'm saying.

[A]

Yeah, I'm not talking about those people.

[B]

Got you. But yeah, there will be some money paid off for sure.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can. It seemed like a lot of moving parts to this.

[B]

Yeah, it does, it does, it does. And that's why I don't really want to pass judgment because I don't really fully understand where the crime or the bullshit transpired. I don't have enough information to really understand the concepts.

[D]

I would take it more serious if it was not civil. If it was. It was criminal. Criminal of some level.

[B]

What I see, when I see this is it sounds like, again, the. The initial point is you're operating basically you're gambling through like a loophole.

[D]

Right.

[B]

So when I see that, I think of the legal companies that have the ability to have you gamble, see one of the biggest artists in the world, one of the biggest streamers in the world, pushing something that's. Yeah, we gotta do something about that. That's how I look at that. Right? Oh, no, no, no. Y' all can't do that and get away with that. That makes sense to me.

[D]

Yeah, I could totally see it.

[B]

You ain't hustling on this block. Yeah, basically makes sense.

[A]

Well, not under that set of. Of rule. Not. Not as a sweepstakes.

[B]

Yeah, but because you can't be as. You can't be a gambling casino. We got this sold up over here.

[D]

A bazillion dollars, Right.

[B]

All this lobbying, all these people and I like, we got legislation and all of that. So that we could work on it. Exactly. All of the. That got now you done found a loophole and y' all over there getting money. Oh no, you're not dead. That I agree.

[A]

And.

[B]

And I ain't mad at him either. I had to pay Congressman I gotta learn your rap. A new house. If in business. If, if, if I had to go this way in business and you went that way in business and you ain't have to go through all the. That I went through.

[D]

You ready?

[C]

I don't.

[B]

Yeah. That is some rat.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

I'm waiting for you.

[C]

What?

[B]

I take it back. That's okay. It's some hater.

[C]

Keep your eyes on your own.

[A]

That's good business, right?

[B]

In that case.

[A]

What he just paint you right? You goddamn right.

[D]

Oh I was just talking about his.

[A]

But y' all be believe in him.

[B]

I'm just saying that you know the.

[A]

Problem that topic always comes up here in like some real low level situation. That's the problem.

[B]

Wants to get up there n up there.

[A]

But what he just described is not low level. And yeah, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody that's not going to say hey, nah, no way. We just went through all of this and you operate. No, no.

[B]

And we went through all of this so that we the ones that get to do it. What?

[A]

And I assume that those. Those rules and regulations are 1 million times more strict and there's a lot more that you gotta pay to even to even present that way.

[B]

No, it's billions.

[A]

Honestly, it don't come sooner. You see these went and got the biggest rapper in the world. He's sitting there every week on. On Instagram.

[B]

But I still. There's still some.

[C]

Cause that's where I feel like they really are like squashing the competition because they have a certain amount of dollars for advertisement and marketing. These people have Drake. You cannot beat that. Especially if he's constantly on social media.

[B]

Talking about it and saying that I'm winning.

[C]

Right?

[B]

Like he's shown tickets and shit like where he supposedly won. So now you got a whole group. If you add Drake, A and Ross. Now you got all the 20 something year olds and the 30 year olds now saying yo, let me go sign up, let me go sign up, let me go sign up. I look at it like an ad. It is for sure. You know what I'm saying? We influence the marketing. Yeah. We just got.

[A]

And if you're doing that then you then you should already have the money aside that is about to cost you.

[B]

And they do. Oh they do. And guess what they'll do. The company got it. They'll do it again. If they've made XYZ amount. Let's say they made 20 billion. We just throwing numbers out. We don't know nothing about their financials. But if they made 20, 20 billion and they get fined $800 million quick.

[C]

I feel like I've been seeing this stuff since COVID where it's like these. It's almost like it looked like a sham and it looked like it's really not, right. Whatever the topic is bitcoin, this, that, whatever. And most people see it and think, who the fuck would believe that or fuck with it. But it's targeted for people that do believe that. It's targeted for people that see a winning slip and they instantly think, damn, you could do that. You know what I mean?

[B]

Nigga, I'm broken and I'm trying to come up.

[C]

Up.

[B]

Yeah, that's it.

[A]

You up.

[B]

I ain't mad. I ain't mad at it. Just like some hating.

[A]

Listen, this is part of what comes with a good. This is what comes with it.

[B]

It's a cat mouse game. Soon as you get something, here they go. They going to try to shut that down. Now. You got to work around it, find another way. Then here they come again. It's the same game. Being a crook is a 24 hour job. You got to always find out how to beat the new you know what I'm saying? Like you do. Yeah, I remember my man, the credit card, the little chip. He knew the chip was coming on the cards like four years before. And I'm like, how the. Like, yo, dawg, it's my job to know what's coming out. I was like, you got it, Playboy. Them niggas be all they be having the tech, magazines and all that shit. The crooks, the good ones.

[A]

Niggas keep.

[B]

They keep abreast of the technology my you got. You know what I'm saying?

[A]

Listen, I'm, I'm, I'm chilling. I'm a law abiding citizen, my brother. Indeed. No more but shout out to the scammers out there. Yeah, get it.

[D]

How you got to get.

[A]

I include y' all in my prayers. I can't believe y' all let the new year in and don't pray. But I. I'm not, I'm not starting.

[C]

Oh, my God, he been on.

[A]

I'm not doing that. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it.

[C]

Listen, Pastor Joe, now I got to switch this. Pastor Joe Ever since allegedly, we don't pray over.

[B]

No.

[A]

Listen to each. No, it wasn't your food. It was that fake holiday playing around the table. I was performing. It's a fake holiday. Do what the fuck you want. But the new year.

[D]

You don't think the new year's fake holiday?

[A]

Word. Go ahead, Mr. Construct. I think that the new year is the calendar that us here operate by. Sure. So when it's 26, then, first of all, it's never a bad time to pray. Agree. Let me start. Let me start there. Agree. So even in fake calendar time, no matter where I am, I'm not speaking for you. I'm not judging you, y'. All. I'm not dissing y'.

[C]

All.

[A]

No matter where I am, I'm. I'm praying in the club. I'm going to the corner to pray. If I have to kick back at the house, I go in my bedroom. When it's 11:57, I get in the corner. I. That's just me and who I've been since. If my pastor was alive. Rest in peace, Rev. Ron. I would have went to church to hear him. But, yeah, I'm. I'm with that. I'm with that. I wonder if Keno went to church. He said he was going to church.

[C]

That.

[B]

That really is the move.

[A]

If you got a pastor that you want to hear from, like a church that really gets busy, the choir is good. The. The band is good. Then that is a real vibe for sure, because then you can leave there, and if you still want to hit the street or go home, either way, it's a win, so. You goddamn right. I was in the club and I prayed for y'.

[C]

All.

[A]

I always include y'. All. Oh, it'd be nice to get prayed for it. Appreciate. Appreciate it.

[B]

Who don't pray. Why you keep saying day?

[A]

He thinks.

[B]

I was the one that prayed at Thanksgiving when you was having the issues. Yo, dog, why do you think don't pray group you in like, yo, it was you.

[D]

Just because we don't pray at the schedule that you want us to pray?

[B]

Telling you, my guy with me all.

[C]

The time, for months he's been. He just keep dropping it. I don't know where he going with this. Keep talking about these years to come. This might go TD Jake's on us. I'm just telling you.

[A]

No, no, I'm not. No, no. Pick another. Pick another. Pick another. Dude, Franklin, I'm telling you this.

[C]

[A]

[C]

[B]

And those shoes.

[C]

You know the hills are high.

[A]

Please, please, please.

[C]

We pray, though. Can we please make that a thing? We pray. I don't know why Pastor Joe keep taking it there, but we pray. Now you about to cut that. Never would have made it like, come on. This he something. Only Joe Button can use that.

[A]

I pray more than you.

[B]

Don't pray like me.

[C]

He crazy.

[A]

Damn. How I ain't got. Please him and don't hurt him. What is going on with my laptop that I don't have? Please, Hammer, don't hurt him. Y' all know. Y' all know I bought that album. This. Buying that. You can't be no hip hop head. And I have. Please hamm it on her. That's one of the first albums I bought.

[C]

Mr. Joe is dead. Pastor Joe is alive.

[B]

It's Pastor Joe now.

[C]

It's Pastor Joe.

[B]

You probably was in Jersey City with the baggy pants on. You got baggy pants on there?

[A]

N this when I was down south. Oh, he was killing right here. What? Please, Hammer, don't hurt him. They talking about 1990.

[C]

Damn. Damn is old, bro.

[A]

I know. And I. And I realized that when I thought about my siblings. Oh, my dad just walked in and my little sister Jimmy. Yeah. You speak to me when you said, give me a hug, girl. Are you crazy? You crazy. Happy New Year. Come here. Look. She's like these little girls. Oh, I love you. Happy New Year to y'.

[D]

All.

[B]

Happy New Year.

[A]

But when I thought about my. My younger siblings, I was like, yo, some of these was. Was born in the 2000s.

[D]

Something that should be me.

[A]

And they got opinions.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

I remember when personalities.

[B]

I remember when Jackie was pregnant, like 20, 26.

[A]

Now like, they out.

[B]

They outside.

[D]

It's crazy.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Drink, drink, drink, man. Some they could rent cars. Words. Yeah.

[B]

They could get the good insurance rate. My.

[A]

If you.

[B]

If you 45, you could easily have a 27 year old.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, yo, you don't be seeing the memes on Instagram when the girls be like, yo, y' all better stop playing. Cause I'm at the age where I could date the son or the father.

[A]

Well, that's how I know I'm old because that we left that last part and I found out who Constant that girlfriend mom was.

[D]

Oh, an old friend.

[B]

No.

[A]

Oh, y'.

[D]

All.

[B]

Yo, we birds.

[A]

We old enough now to where we know the moms a few.

[B]

It's a Few?

[D]

Yeah, it's a few, man.

[A]

My girl showed me the blogs. I'm like, wait, that's this girl girl's door, yo, you was popping them out.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

18, 19, 20, 21. But the mom, they tell the story. I mean, I wish I'd have knew that before I went on my long little red. The last part about Carson, that and this girl, but the mom tell the story. And she was in the blogs recently talking all this about Carsonet because Kaisernat said, y', all, I googled your mom.

[C]

Oh, I do remember that.

[A]

And don't be seen with her again.

[C]

That's exactly what happened. Yes, I remember that. I do know who the mom is.

[A]

Yeah, you know the mom.

[C]

Yeah, we all know the mom.

[A]

We know the mom.

[C]

We know the mom part.

[A]

That's what I'm saying.

[C]

The mom is known. Parks, you know the mom, bro.

[D]

Oh, for real?

[C]

Oh, you know the mom, nigga.

[A]

The mom. Is. Is that unfair? Is it unfair? Like, if mom is moving around, you just assume that it's going to pass, that it passes. Can moving around be passed down in your jeans?

[D]

Sometimes it does.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

When y' all say moving around, y' all talking about just moving around.

[B]

I don't even necessarily mean just moving around a certain way. I mean, and I think if the kid. If the kid come up and come up in that and see that when they get of age, they blueprint been late. I totally agree.

[C]

Really?

[A]

He's reaching back out. Put the phone down, dog. Why are you reaching out again, dog?

[B]

I. I think that they grow up seeing some of that, and it almost becomes second nature. They. Damn, they trained. We won't say no names, but I know a bunch of them and their daughters grow up moving like that.

[C]

You wouldn't think that some of the daughters grow up hating what they saw, hating what they were around, and they're a complete opposite of that.

[B]

It's possible, but. But your value system typically comes from your environment, and your parents play a big part in that. So if your parents grew up worshiping Birkin bags and worshiping Benzes and worshiping all of that, then you as a kid put that to the highest level of priority.

[C]

Right?

[B]

You get what I'm saying?

[C]

What if you go to school for you get a job for it versus for it, or just using, maybe you.

[B]

Might not be for it. But I wasn't saying it. But.

[C]

But those bitches get this shit if they ain't got no.

[B]

So that's the point.

[C]

Got the picture with the blazer, but.

[B]

You told me what job at 18 going to afford you some of these things? What job at 19 or 20 is going to afford you some of these things that don't happen?

[C]

I have. I don't know. I think it go both ways, but I feel like I would rather hear from the minute or from people, period, that see it, because in the top of my head, I can't even think of it. People that I know. Daughters and. You know what I mean?

[B]

Yes, you. Yes, you do. When we get off this mic, we'll tell you a couple of names. You like? Oh, shit.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Like, my thing is if I'm a mom, if I was a mom, I.

[C]

Just figured y' all knew more whores than me, but go ahead, continue.

[A]

That's you from Philly.

[B]

Oh, whoa. You from Philly.

[A]

We definitely know more than you.

[C]

Come on.

[A]

It's. It's true, y'. All. Don't. Don't be. Don't be bashing. Don't be bashing.

[C]

Thank you, Joey.

[A]

We definitely know more horrors.

[C]

Thanks for your honesty, Joey.

[B]

But if I was a mom, I would want in my. I would want to steer my kid away from that. Yeah, for sure, if I was a mom, but.

[C]

Yeah, you could stare them all the way.

[D]

But what if you were a bird mom?

[B]

Yeah, I was getting ready to say depending on how old you. But no, but the I knew I had to do to get money or the. I had to. Yo, a lot of these girls be getting their asses whipped and all that other stuff. I would want my kids to stay away from that. It's like, yo, you a drug dealer and, you know, you had to hide under cars and you jumping over barbed wire gates and you got to turn your head every time you walk out your door. You don't want your sons going through. Through that same level of stress or you shouldn't.

[D]

Or you might raise them to be a better drug dealer.

[B]

I went through that. Let me give you the game so you don't have to make those mistakes.

[A]

Back to shit being passed through your bloodline or. Them Diggs boys. Yeah, man, them Diggs brothers. Something is in there. Something is in there, good or bad. Who am I to say? That's for God to judge. If you pray, Amen. If you pray, that's for God. But something is in the. I wish I had seen the chef that Stephon Diggs was beefing about before I get said. Whatever. I said, nigga, you back at it again, Nigga, you ain't see him. What is wrong with this boy? Yo, this young man, yo, stop.

[B]

Yo, who do y' all be trying.

[A]

To piss on and tell that it's fucking raining with these blogs and reports of what happened. Nigga, I got a dick. I know what happened.

[D]

She. She don't look like she.

[A]

Man, listen. She.

[B]

She look like she make a good play.

[A]

I'm looking out of doubt.

[B]

Sheesh.

[A]

Yo, tell the truth, dog. And that's why Shorty jumped in and the text and your wife.

[B]

And now.

[A]

Now it all makes sense. It didn't mean you gotta live in. You gotta live in chef. Yo, dog, you got a live in chef?

[B]

No, no, no. Sure. A new living chef that just started the football season. That wasn't a long term living chef. He just started. She was just for the season. Yeah, she cooking up some things. I'm hating on Shorty.

[A]

Yo, he needs. He need to get that.

[B]

That that what?

[C]

He.

[A]

He. That. He need to get that kind of fucked up. He got a tough cause. I can't say it.

[B]

Yeah, you can't.

[A]

I can't say I'm stunned. I can't say what it. Yeah, I mean, as a dude, you just understand. But what the. Oh, pardon me. I'm a little sister. See, I kind of can't even curse the way I want. Stepon Diggs. You gotta cut it the f out.

[B]

No, he don't.

[A]

Yes, he does. Ish.

[C]

Come on.

[A]

Ax said he need to get neutered. I agree. Almost. I agree.

[B]

You go.

[A]

There's such thing as two nuts.

[B]

No, it's not, dog.

[A]

You don't need that.

[B]

You don't think he's going that crazy.

[A]

You don't need to. Your chef. Ish. What are you about? What are you about to defend?

[C]

He give you.

[A]

I never did that with a chef.

[B]

So I don't care about his face.

[A]

There's not one chef I ever did that with, so I don't care about his little stupid face he make because we're on the platform together.

[C]

What about a groundsman?

[A]

Tell me about it.

[B]

Yo, he's so funny. It's cool. Let me tell you this. I'm not condoning or defending him. What I'm saying is he's in his 20s, right? He's filthy rich. He's in his 20s, and he's a handsome dude. He's married, right? No, he's not married. Not married. Yo, when you filthy rich, you in your 20s, and you a handsome dude, you running around. You got Options Unlimited. You running around. We was running around broke in our 20s doing wild shit, and we had the resources that he had. What would me and you have been doing 20 years old ago?

[A]

Not what he's doing.

[B]

I don't. I. I don't think you.

[A]

I don't think one.

[B]

It's one part of that that I don't think would have been doing it.

[A]

Be saying. And don't be all the way up abreast on what. There's more. But before you go out on this, there's more.

[B]

He was on the fifth one of 20, 25. I wouldn't have been doing that. Y' all know that. That's. That's the point, though. I'm not. But it was. That was. I'm the condom guy. Y' all know I've been the condom guy since I was in my 20s. What I'm saying is that's not my bag. And it's. It's never been my bag. However, if I was in my 20s and I had 20, 30, 40 M's, my nigga, I would have been running through girls like stoplights. I'm not gonna sit here and condemn this young girls like stoplights. That's my point. So I'm not gonna condemn this kid for just doing it at a higher level than I was doing it based on the resources that he got. I would be being a fucking hypocrite. I would. I would. I'm not gonna condemn, but I would say there's a way to move a little bit smarter. You popping babies out every three weeks.

[A]

Pull out.

[B]

I agree with that. I think that's irresponsible, and I think it's unfair to the children that you are having that you may not be able to be there in their lives. That part is true. But I'm talking about him running around with the women. We was doing that. No, I'm not talking about. That's why I said it's a little different. I don't think you said what's. That's what he's doing.

[A]

I agree with Ice. I think there's a way that things can be done. And how he doing it ain't. That ain't it.

[B]

That's all. That's all I'm saying.

[A]

But that ain't all I'm saying.

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

My conversation didn't start with what he doing with his. With his dick. It started with, get a chef.

[D]

A real chef.

[A]

Get a chef, dog. All right, all right.

[B]

You lost me on that.

[A]

Why? I say it all the time, don't hire your man to be your driver, but get. Hire real positions.

[B]

Cool. But you saying, don't beat me down.

[A]

About this is my living chef. Tell that to somebody else.

[B]

But if that position comes with other positions.

[A]

Nah, nah.

[D]

You gotta get the real chef.

[A]

I'm all bad. But you could still have the baddie.

[D]

Just maybe not as an employee.

[A]

I know a lot of the stripper chefs, when they came over to cook and put the rice and the pineapple and all that shit, I wasn't sticking my dick in no more. It's just for. Hey, all right. Dance, my fool bitches. Do a little something. She should not be a disappoint. My signal system should not be. You think you.

[B]

You think you the majority in that?

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

What, you think you're the majority or the minority in that?

[A]

Do I think I am the minority majority?

[B]

The stripper chef. And we know some of them, and some of them are fire aesthetically.

[A]

Would you move her in?

[B]

No, I'm not moving them in like that anyway. But you said don't put your.

[A]

All right, defend the other Diggs boy, too. Come on. You a Cowboy fan? Defend this.

[B]

He can't cover. That's all I care about. I care less what he doing in his personal life. He can't stick no receivers, bro. It's either interception or you getting cooked. That's all I care about.

[A]

They told him. Yo, dawg, you can't stay. You can't stay, right? You can't go to the. What concert was it? The Shock Lizzy concert.

[B]

He just didn't want to stay with his family. My family's out here. This is what I do on the holidays. I want to stay here the extra day.

[A]

Awesome. But what concert was it? I'm pretty sure it was Shot Glizzy. Okay, because that's how they found out. Because Shot Glizzy is the one that posted the picture of. Of Trayvon Diggs at the concert. We just told you. No, as a team. Something is in that. I'm telling you, something is in that.

[B]

Entitlement.

[A]

I ain't the person to say whether it's off or on, but there's something in there. That's what I got. That's it. That's it. Sorry.

[D]

I think it's valid.

[B]

It's something. And maybe it's just entitlement, bro. No, it could just be lack of, like, having, like, OG damn near to just, like, yo, dog, you have not paid any recourse for anything that you have done, so you feel entitled because you never pay consequences for the. That you're doing. My. You tell the team. No, the Team that pays you. I'm tell y'.

[C]

All.

[B]

No, because I think y' all need me, and y' all ain't gonna do. Yeah, news flash. That's entitlement. My.

[A]

And Stefan Diggs is 32, too, because you always be cute. Yeah. You always be talking like is 23, 24, and 25. Kai. Sonata has some grace for. Dog, you 32 years old. You know that when you come in, babies come.

[B]

I just.

[A]

And you know that when you're that wealthy, people probably want the baby. Yeah. And you know that if you hire the chef to live in the room down the hall with the badass.

[B]

Come on, dog.

[A]

Then you're gonna like, what the hell are we.

[C]

Oh, there's so many babies. Babies.

[B]

That's the crazy part. That's not funny. And I'm not condoning that part at all. Not even. Not even close to condoning that. I was talking about the other stuff.

[A]

The.

[B]

Yeah, like in the Running Mad Girls and all that other stuff. That's what I was talking about. A little smarter, though. You having these children is irresponsible. So I'm not never condoning that. I'm talking about you need a personal advisor. Like somebody that's just in your circle to kind of. Yo, my man. Yo, yo.

[C]

Let me.

[B]

You need somebody. You need. He needs a little bit of guidance from somebody.

[A]

Hey. Yeah.

[B]

Apparently, yes, he was 32. We wasn't the most mature, but he.

[D]

A little bit more mature than that. I'm not gonna.

[A]

All I'm saying is beating myself up.

[B]

If you still moving that way at 32, then, yes, you need it. If you're still moving that way at 42, then, yes, you need it. It ain't the age thing. If you still moving that way, you haven't matured. And. And. And it's. These are the consequences of it. Somebody that you value should be in your circle to kind of pull you to the side and let you know you bugging the out.

[A]

Yeah, I ain't judging him, but God damn, dog.

[B]

Like I am.

[A]

I ain't judging them. I ain't judging nobody, but God damn it.

[C]

All right, he gotta go talk to the lady. But the lady has. But that's what Joe was trying to say. Like, you have to put yourself in positions where you wouldn't do that. So when you looking around for the lady and you see she's attractive, you go to the older guy. That's how you. That's. That's being preventive. You know what I mean? Versus being proactive. You have three kids one summer. Say it. You do good for two months. Being pre active is like, you know, being in front of it, proactive is like, you don't hire the chef that got the FedEx. You just don't even hire that person or interview with that person.

[A]

Yeah, don't even do it. Don't even get around. You dudes with the. You dudes with the. You. You want to tell the truth about you dudes with the personal assistants that.

[B]

That, that come in.

[A]

And the blazer with the young. The publicist. Like, come on, stylist.

[C]

I'm hiring for a personal assistant myself.

[A]

Excuse me.

[B]

He got me dark skinned with waves.

[C]

Yes. How did you know? He don't even got. Know how to type my best.

[A]

No, it's fine.

[B]

Yo, this guy is crazy, dog.

[A]

I had a living personal system before, and everybody else, We gotta talk to her since she had a little fast thing.

[C]

Does that affect the job though?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Like, did you let her go because of that?

[A]

Huh?

[C]

Did you like, let her go because of that?

[A]

Yeah, that was part of it.

[C]

Damn.

[A]

Yeah, that was Bartima.

[C]

I guess that would be kind of weird to all your bosses. I guess that would be weird.

[A]

And you learn a lot about your friends too. Like, that's why all this pretentious shit these niggas do up there. You know what's up. Yeah, these niggas can't play with me like that. Maybe not. Ish wasn't around, but.

[B]

I ain't fuck your personal assistant. Well, say maybe not. Ish. Ish and ice.

[A]

Well, I was talking about just knowing your friends and learning about your friends. Yeah. Oh, look, mute him up. Know your friends.

[B]

That's different.

[A]

Muted him up.

[B]

Know your friends.

[A]

And Pat Freermonth.

[B]

Friarmouth.

[A]

Friarmouth for more than 33 receiving yards. And the Steelers are gonna need it. I tell you that one.

[B]

That ain't a bad little five they need.

[A]

Well, you've been. Let's see, let's see. You've been the only one patting yourself on the back. Thank God you can't suck your own dick.

[B]

No, some of them weeks, them niggas be in my deal. Good looking home last couple weeks.

[A]

Well, we shall see. Listen, if you download the app right this very second and use promo code JBP, you get $50 instantly when you play your first $5 lineup. Only on prize picks where it's good to be. Right? You so dumb. Okay, now, like usual, y' all had a good, great topic while we were off mic. Tell me about it. I wasn't here. I was saying bye to my sister, doing all types of shit. What did I miss? What did I miss? Somebody give me a good one.

[C]

Po and me were chatting and Po said, well, Mona, you know what they say. You never do any better than your first baby father. And I said, po, I don't know what the fuck that's supposed to mean. I'm an ex husband.

[A]

No.

[C]

And I was like, oh, please, Poe, you know that's bullshit. When I turned around, he was still smiling. He's like. I was like, you don't believe that rhetoric. He said, that's Kevin Samuels. That's from Kevin Samuels. So then I said, I'm not the biggest fan of Kevin Samuels.

[B]

And I was shocked because Mona tends to side with the men or think a little more logical on some of the shit and rock with the nigga. So I was shocked that you wasn't a fan of Kev. Like, rest in peace Kevin Samuels.

[C]

Definitely rest in peace to the brother. Rest in peace to that man.

[A]

We interviewed him. He's another friend of the show.

[C]

Wow. He came up here with y'. All.

[A]

Yeah. No, we fuck with Kev.

[C]

Ain't that something?

[A]

Fuck.

[C]

Y' all gonna jump me?

[B]

No.

[A]

What's up? What's up?

[C]

Did you see her? I got the right one here.

[A]

But what's your issue with Kev?

[C]

It's. I don't have an issue with him.

[A]

And I don't know. I don't know if I agree with that. You'll never beat your first baby.

[B]

I don't agree at all.

[C]

That's the thing. Like I don't agree with that for sure. I feel like, like I'm somebody for sure to try to like learn from certain mistakes. So it's like people get. Okay, let me say this. People get used to get stuck on the thing of like women would have a baby with a man and not be happy with them on how they co parented or the kind of relationship or what happened. And they'll still have another baby with, with that man. So they'll have a matching set. Yeah, like I don't even subscribe to that. Like I don't give a fuck how long this mailbox list gonna be. I'm gonna keep trying till I find the right fighter.

[B]

I think that's insanity.

[C]

I would rather do that than to double back. You know what I mean? Just me personally. So I don't know. Now with Kevin, what I will say is because even being in this game myself, it's so easy to take things the wrong way with these clips going viral. You know, you get a piece of the conversation by the time the clip it to you. It's only a little piece the back end. You don't know. So I never watch his stuff, I will say that. But I didn't like the first clips that I saw. And a lot of them were just him being kind of harsh when it came to like what he rated a woman and what according to his rate and what she was going to get. Because I'm somebody that seen women that aren't necessarily the most attractive or don't have these great track records. You know, I say it all the time. A pair of whores get treated the best. People marry their whores. People love whores. You know, A be horn all around Jersey. This move to Houston. She a whole new get a husband, live a whole new life. Nobody gives a. And he heard about her hoeing but she sucks gooch for more than three minutes. You know what I mean?

[B]

He might not have heard about a ho.

[C]

I feel like people hear it. I mean I'm sure some have it.

[A]

But it's like they running that Yankee player through the mill that they proposed to his girl but she was only, only fans girl. And then he said no, that's she's not an only fans girl. Then they posted some hit some more footage like, listen, listen my brother, we trying to tell you. And then he was like, no, that's my baby. But you know, it's always that's my baby. I put it in the song. I put it right in the song. That's my baby. My baby would never. Hey, part of growing up is realizing your baby would. Your baby would do it.

[C]

And that's the thing about it. I saw one of these say something today. I think a lot of people probably watch me on here and assume that I'm kind of a guy's girl when in reality I just. I'm just insane. So what you think I'm about to say? I always say the opposite. That's really what it is. I don't necessarily take the girl route or the guy route. It's just I put it in my brain and do the drama and like depression, it gets all up and then it's funny.

[A]

I miss Kev almost every year, man. It was just somebody to say, you a seven. No, what he said, brace yourself and don't use.

[B]

Don't use seven.

[A]

What's he said?

[B]

Don't rate.

[A]

What he said, don't use seven.

[B]

It the game up.

[A]

It changed the game. Don't use 7 is just good content whether you doing relationship or not to anybody. Dudes too. You rate yourself no 7, cuz try.

[B]

Play the safe with the 7 girls. I don't want you too high.

[A]

Was like, I'm a nine. He was like, no, he.

[B]

No, no, he say cam up.

[A]

Cam up. Yo, Kev was. Oh no, he was good content and.

[C]

And sure, he's good content.

[A]

No good. No for sure. He came up here treat treated us like the gum on the bottom of his shoe. But not on purpose.

[B]

Yeah, not on purpose.

[A]

It wasn't on purpose.

[B]

It was funny though. He thought he was talking to right here.

[A]

N. Yeah. Now Kev came up here and treated us.

[B]

The thought he was talking to some lord.

[A]

Seriously. He took us through there. Took us through there.

[C]

I'm hungry. That is so funny.

[A]

I think I was carrying his umbrella and his luggage and he was hands free. He was texting or something. I was like, he was. He was sending a text. What? Yeah, yeah, he had multiple bags. Yeah, he had multiple bags.

[B]

He was catching a flight. The had the Bergdorf bags and all that.

[A]

Nah, he was dressed to the. He stunted, he came.

[B]

He stunned.

[C]

That's so funny. That's hilarious.

[A]

Rest in peace, Kev. All right. What Else. What else is going on? What else is happening out there? I'm trying to get to. Y' all want to get to some of this music? Y' all want to get to dochi? Y' all want to get to Uncle Murder Skills wrap ups?

[B]

We can do that.

[A]

What do you want to do? Come on, let's get to the.

[B]

We can start with the doi, doi and scissor record. Girl, get up. You got a little bit for us. Little single that popped up out of nowhere.

[D]

All right, good.

[A]

Let's hit it.

[D]

Shout out to Jay Versace did the beat.

[C]

[A]

Here we go.

[C]

I see you in the chat you suck every rap dick coming back but what's the agenda when the it girl black Y' all can't fathom that I work this hard and y' all can't fathom that I earned this chart Y' all can't stand my vibe cause I'm anointed all y' all leave a last hoes just annoying Blame it on the fame, blame it on the a coat blame it on the do say got you feeling low Y' all want to believe I'm on drugs and forsaken they won't credit me so they blame it on Satan blame it on my label, blame it on my team End of the day everything is on me. Miss back lady, little miss S, little miss higher them hoes than fire them.

[A]

All right, all right, all right all right all right all right all right, all right, all right.

[B]

I love got her off.

[A]

How we feeling? How we feeling? That was smooth. Absolutely with it.

[C]

I love it so much because I really couldn't get why was everybody saying certain about her when it first came out? But it's like, clearly why? It's because she's not supposed to have it. I remember when I first earned dukes posted doi and I first Saw her, the first thing I've ever saw, I was like. Like, oh my God. Cuz I never saw it. I haven't seen anything like her since. For me, like Missy, like, that's how talented she is to me.

[B]

What you mean? Because she's not supposed to have it?

[C]

Because she dark? Because she black? She a black girl. She don't have the same. I know we had this conversation about the bbl. I do not want to revisit.

[B]

Yeah, I'm not talking about it, but.

[C]

Just in general, like Darcy girls not supposed to be the most popping or got the new fancy thing. Everybody looks kind of the same. Like I feel like the fact that she's creative and she come up with her own shit and she doesn't. Like when she say y' all suck dicks to get there, it makes it. It reinforces to me that she didn't. You know what I mean? So the fact that she did it the right way and she worked hard, anything other than that is disrespectful to the hard work she put in. So I like that she popping it. Cause she should. You know what I mean?

[B]

I get that. For a lot of people though, it wasn't really about her complexion. It was just. We didn't understand. It was such a. It almost felt like overnight. Not saying she didn't work, but to a lot of people who, like mainstream wise, it felt overnight. And it was like, okay, wait, you went from here to Grammy to this, to this, to the District magazine to this. It was like. It was a very quick ascension. Usually you could see, okay, you went from this stage to this to. You can almost see the progression.

[C]

And the visuals were better.

[B]

The music, her looks killed. Let me be clear. I'm not trying to discredit any of her music. I'm a Dolce fan. I fuck with it. I'm just saying that that was the critique though. It was like, hey, it almost seemed like an overnight artist went from A to Z immediately and skipped all the middle steps.

[D]

But she didn't though.

[C]

She did not. People didn't look it up.

[B]

But for people that did not see those steps, it seemed overnight. So they questioned it.

[D]

It also came off the heels of the Kendrick Drake beef. And anybody that associated her with the Kendrick side, it was gonna hate.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, that too.

[D]

Like, it was a lot of that residual.

[B]

Yeah, that's. That's all I saw from. From Doji, but I. I just didn't. The people that I saw questioning her, I never once heard them say, but that's not.

[C]

But that's not. That's not something to say out loud though, hon. Like, that's not a conversation. People don't say, oh, she. Why was she. Why is she so good with her black ass? People don't say that out loud.

[B]

But people will say things that can't tell you that that's what they're thinking. And it wasn't. It wasn't. I didn't. I didn't get anything that they were placing it on her complexion is all I'm saying. I agree with Ice. I think that.

[A]

Well, they both right. Mona and. Mona and Ice.

[B]

Yeah, they both could be right. But I think just. Just an example, people had never heard of her. She came and sat on this couch, right? Joe Button podcast, don't let anybody come up here. So for her not to have a name and was sitting on his couch, that would raise eyebrows to some people, right? Like, damn, how they pull that off? So that must be tde. That must be her team. That might. The album speaks for itself. That album was an amazing. Like a nine, bro. Yeah, nine and a half. Like that album was up there for me. So the fact. And then she got up here and said, nah, nigga, I ain't new to this. I was in the trenches. Mixtape after mixtape after mixtape, this deal, that deal and. And stretched out her path and her journey that she was on, which was a multi year journey, but nobody knew the journey. So I mean, as a music fan, they will say, yo, this is a plant or this is a this or this is a that just out of ignorance because they didn't know, you know what I'm saying? And she signed to the biggest label or arguably the biggest label out. So it looked like the label is making some moves for you, which they should. I'm not even sure. I'm not even mad if the label is making moves. If the product is the. It's good as hell.

[C]

I wouldn't. I would totally feel y' all if she wasn't so innovative and so great and so like, that's what I'm saying. Like, she's supposed to move up quick. I don't. I don't really feel it.

[A]

But, Pastor, they ain't tricking me. I mean, I'm not. I have nothing to say on this topic. I have absolutely nothing.

[B]

Yo, her album. Yeah, yeah, that album is an amazing.

[A]

I like this song.

[B]

Amazing album. And this song is fine.

[A]

I like her addressing the. The plant stuff. I like that.

[B]

I'm a very big fan of rappers rapping to address Shit, that's rappers. She didn't go on Instagram. She didn't write a bunch of tweets about it.

[A]

She.

[B]

Okay, you know what? I'm gonna talk to y' all through my avenue right here. And that's rap. So I don't care how I. Even if I didn't like her, I'm gonna always respect that move from a rapper.

[C]

Get in the booth.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, she's a rapper's rapper.

[D]

She is.

[A]

And. And to your point, nice to see a dark skinned, complected, beautiful, young and extremely talented woman winning, making waves. Who cares? Who cares how the win happened?

[D]

And I'm looking forward to whatever. I'm sure she's got something coming this year. This is just a warm up.

[B]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the album damn near done.

[D]

Yeah, same.

[A]

You know what I'm saying?

[B]

Like, we might get one more. But yeah, she's definitely on my list of people that I have a feeling are gonna pop out.

[D]

Yeah, she'll pop out in the spring.

[B]

Once this first quarter little wave is over, everybody back to releasing music. Yeah, she'll be one of the ones wanna get to wrap ups.

[D]

Let's do it. You wanna do murder?

[A]

Well, before we leave Dochi, I do wanna say I'm rooting for Glasses Malone to get all the Crips together to beat up homeboy. I am sorry, because I think that's who she was talking to in the song.

[B]

Yeah. I didn't know at first he was talking a little.

[A]

Little.

[B]

The more I looked into it, she was directly talking to him because he said some wild.

[A]

Yeah, he said a bunch of bulls wild.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. It's disgusting.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then it was some back and forth after she put the song out. And Glass. I like Glasses Malone saying what he said and hopefully he meant it.

[B]

[B]

Pay for his own funeral. Lil Rod don't want to party with Puff no more. He said he used to wake up.

[A]

After the party too much messy stuff. He said he used to wake up next to girls or next to Puff sounding like he enjoyed all of that gay if Puff would have dated man he wasn't going to say he helped you get the album done y' all finished it. All you had to do was pay him and you could have kept hitting it yo wasn't going to say anything 50 documentary did more number than Strange Things cuz that Diddy was doing stranger playing with other like his own can. Turn this off Y Yo, we can turn this off yo the crazy turn this off Y nothing on it.

[C]

[B]

Enough documentary did more numbers than Stranger.

[A]

[D]

Some Stranger Things a Stranger Things.

[C]

Yeah, I heard a lot about that. It made me want to watch the show.

[D]

Oh you never watched it at all.

[C]

I watched a little bit of first season that's it.

[D]

The last the last one before this was not great but they wrapped it up very well.

[C]

But if I watch it I do have to watch everyone right to get.

[A]

Yeah, for sure man.

[B]

We talk about the wrap up.

[A]

Stranger Things. I'm so glad that show is over you I am so glad that I don't have to see the promotion and all you stranger things out here. Oh that is over. Them kids is grown as hell. They are y' all still chasing them around what is Stranger Things even about anymore? But anyway the show anyway. Yeah, what do y' all think that beat is hard too. That be as hard that beat Is hard too. Great, great. Mace. Flip.

[B]

I. I love this shit. Because every. He do this, he. He say what a lot of people be wanting to say, cuz murder don't give a. And he just gonna bluntly say it. And if it piss you off, it piss you off. If it don't, it don't. Whatever. I. I love, I love this.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

He'S nuts. You know, he's nuts. He is saying the shit that really want to say and don't have a heart to say, especially publicly and being in the industry. Yeah, like, man, I don't give a. You rubbing nut on your chest out of here.

[D]

It's strange.

[A]

Is there a part in this where he spoke about the rest of the year? Yeah, because the part that I heard was kind of fixated on Puff too.

[B]

No, no. Well, even last year when he did.

[A]

This and that was the Chaka Khan flip, I thought that Flip was incredible.

[B]

He. But yes, he does speak on the rest of the year. But again, you know, they don't really like Puff too tough. Like he been shooting at Puff for years. So he gonna use his Runway to get his shit off on Puff. And Puff was probably one of the biggest things in hip hop.

[D]

It was.

[B]

It was not one of the biggest. It was the biggest thing in hip hop. You can skip, skip ahead of you.

[A]

Did y' all get through this whole thing?

[B]

Of course. You got right.

[C]

I never could finish him. Like, 17 minutes is crazy.

[A]

17 minutes. You're doing a lot.

[C]

Figure out how to condense.

[A]

I'm in there every year, every year, every year like clockwork.

[B]

There's two names I can count on him to say every year. This one, I'm surprised he didn't say it this year, but he usually do. But it's you and K Michelle. He going to mention y' all one way or another every year. But he didn't. He didn't do her this year.

[A]

But yeah, I know what happened. But y passed away that I'm G Unit, can't say nothing nice. 50 going to be like, what you doing?

[B]

Me saying that I'm just paying my respects.

[A]

He gonna be like, no more tours, no more private jets. And honestly, I gotta feel him. Irv used to hang around them that try to kill him. Can't expect 50 to show no sympathy. Feels the other way around. Urban had the same energy. Meanwhile, ja rule got 100 dubs, hundred clips, got punched in the face at the Barclays ain't some. He was on his way to the stage where he got snuck. It happened so Fast Fat Joe couldn't break it it up. You know that little video y' all saw was after he got knocked out and got up off the floor. First he tried to say Tasha K was capping. Then he had to come out and tell the truth about what happened. But nobody care what J gotta say. He an example of a nut and beats a jet to holiday Found out some walk up crazy she ain't got no shame in that's in relationships. That's what she said. I'm just repeating this. She out here for money like she and these a. She too successful to be acting like a so wish the kid to save her number under piece of hut. I couldn't believe that Hope Summer Walker know one day her kids is going to see that. So disrespectful. Paul, my man is just found out. Kuchi getting by Dion Sanders. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.

[B]

He talk about the rest of the year, though.

[A]

Yeah, he does.

[D]

Shout out to Murder, man.

[B]

It's a comedy track to me. This should be hilarious.

[A]

Shout out to Uncle Murder. I'm never listening to 17 minutes of you. That's just not gonna happen. Is this the longest one yet?

[B]

Last year was three parts, like three tracks. Every time midway through the year, I'll be sitting there saying to myself like, all right, Murder gonna have to put an EP out at this point. Cause it'd be so much shit happening, there's no way he could cover it all in one track. Like, he left shit off this, this, and I got them all. Of course, this ain't the longest one.

[C]

Y' all go ahead.

[B]

I'm gonna tell you. You. I can tell you the time, but I look forward. I look forward to these shits, man. Yeah, we got 12 months of. I'm not gonna hold you.

[A]

Yeah, that's cause he don't rap the rest of the year.

[B]

Yeah, I'm pop out right here.

[A]

That's why he didn't got to. Right, There you go, There you go, There you go. Y' all have time. Let me look for the others here, man. Shout out to Murder. Let me look for cuz. We always play Murder and not Skills. That's.

[D]

I couldn't find skill.

[B]

I didn't know it dropped.

[C]

Skills.

[B]

I didn't know it dropped. Yeah, I didn't even know he dropped it. My false skills. My God, too. I had no idea.

[C]

You doing the wrap up this year. N. I ain't really feeling it this year. D' Angelo beat lit. That's what's up.

[A]

Really what's up, twin? This the wrap up for 2025. Off the rip, bitch. I'm just glad we all survived. And we usually laughed and Kiki and just trippin. But this year wasn't fun. So this point gon hit different. And you might say, damn, you sound like you down, Skills. I'm like, nah, I just sound how everybody feels. So even though we all been through it, this is 2025 rapper. Let's get into it. Soon as Trump came back, he had an accident grind I can't even lie his orange ass ain't waste no time. And if one Thinging's for sure, two things for certain. If I could show you better than I could tell your ass was a person, man, this fool did not come to play. Like how you change 30,000 laws in under 30 days. And the Philly Eagles was the team to beat. Meanwhile, Ice out here icing, taking people off the street.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Patty.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

He's a little sad.

[B]

Is always more serious. Like it ain't as jokey joke. So your murder is a comedy track. You're gonna listen to it to laugh.

[D]

I like the jokey joke person.

[C]

How long is this one? How long is it?

[D]

I don't know.

[A]

You got in four minutes.

[C]

Still too much. Damn, man. Get that to 130.

[A]

This one is four minutes and 32 seconds, man. Shout out the Skills. Shout out to murder.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

I. I'm not Vanilla Ice, so I'm gonna tell y' all the truth. If we never got another. Another wrap up, like, at some point they should end. I want those to end before I die. Nah, before I die, I want both of them to chill like y' all did it. Skills been doing this my whole life. Skills. I have nothing bad to say about you, my brother. You do sound a little sad on this. You sound like the year 2025 was tough.

[B]

It was.

[A]

I understand that sentiment. Good to get that part. And murder just sound like. Oh, man, forget it. Forget it, man.

[B]

Skill's been doing these shit since 02. Damn, I had to go check.

[A]

As a rapper, when do you stop something?

[D]

That's a very good question.

[B]

Stop what?

[A]

Rappers never know when to stop. And I'm not just now. I'm not talking about murdering Skills. Now I'm opening the conversation. Rappers never know when to just stop.

[B]

Stop what, though?

[C]

Mixtape, Volume 44. Your mixtape.

[A]

Any stick, a stick, any.

[B]

Okay, all right. Now if. If I'm known for that stick. And that's kind of. Y' all don't look to me for nothing. Else. And I know it's like. It's like we. I'm gonna use both of those. Both of them, for example.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

If they drop anything throughout the year, a lot. Not saying nobody, but a lot of people was like, yo, that's not what we're here for. We. We don't look to you for hearing you throughout the year. We want to hear you at the end of the year. That's my time.

[D]

Right.

[B]

What's the problem with that?

[D]

There's no problem with that. But I do worry that it pigeons hole pigeonholes you as I'm already pigeon holed. Yeah, but they're both very talented. They could do other.

[C]

No, but as a human, you should want to elevate and do something different like that. You pigeonhole, you make money with it and whatever. Just as a person. You elevate, you get bigger. You different. You want something different. Different.

[B]

What happens when you try those other things and it don't work. But I know I got this in the tuck. Uncle Murder changed his name to Lenny Grant. Change his name. Lenny Grant put two albums out. Nobody gave a. Went back to Uncle Murder. Because first it was, you know, trying to market a name as Uncle Murder. Not it. It's gonna put me in a box, so I'll use my real name. Try to do that. Guess what? Nobody gave a. I gave you a.

[A]

Long list of the rappers that had to go get a job.

[B]

But if I got something that still works.

[A]

Go get a job. Go to Costco's.

[B]

I don't have to go to Costco. Go.

[A]

Go somewhere.

[C]

Let's have a.

[A]

This conversation is going to go somewhere else. So. So.

[B]

No, I'm just saying.

[A]

The man that's fending for himself when the first come in the house by itself, you're gonna do what you got to do.

[B]

I agree.

[A]

Murder's not that he's running around. He's running around with fifth.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So he has the luxury correct. Of hey, all right, I'm not rapping. End of the year. Here we go. That wouldn't be the case if the scenario or situation was different. The shit you describing, they've conditioned their fans. Right. And I don't even want to feel like I spent too much time on this. They've conditioned their fans. I do this every year. So they expected that's how conditioning works. You could also recondition your fans.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Is what Parks is saying. Into something else. And part of that is doing something different. Part of that is doing something different.

[B]

But when I do something different and my Fans and nobody else don't give a. I, I go to my safe zone. I fall back to what I know works.

[C]

That's operating from a place of fear.

[B]

Yeah, I hear but no, the fear is not taking the step. I take the step and if it don't work, I got a fallback. I know I could always give you.

[A]

A wrap up but that's what I'm saying. That's not a fallback. I'm putting up verse out at the end.

[C]

It's not a 20 minute.

[A]

That's not, that's ain't a fallback in what the conversation we have and I.

[D]

Just think they should diversify a little bit. That's all I'm saying. I, I enjoy the wrap ups. I'm gonna listen to them every year but I also would like more stuff at other times.

[C]

And how much do think making from that?

[B]

I don't think it's a money play for that.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

I don't think it is either.

[A]

It was hilarious though.

[B]

And that's my point. I'm doing it for it to be hilarious. Like you said, you want to hear other stuff. Did you listen to the Lenny Grant albums?

[D]

Yeah, I did actually.

[B]

Did you listen to the album you had out last year?

[D]

I don't think I listened to album.

[B]

That's my point. But that's what I'm saying though. Like the people that keep saying that when we do, when somebody do other things, y' all gotta go and support them other things.

[D]

That's true too.

[B]

If not, let me fall back to what it. But you listen to the rap up.

[D]

Yeah, I will, I will.

[B]

So let me fall back to this right here because I know this works. When I say works, I don't mean financially works because like you said, I'm running around with fifth. I don't necessarily need to put out music to make money, but I know this keeps my name in certain conversations going. I can go to this. This works, right?

[A]

Listen, whatever works.

[D]

Yeah, for sure.

[A]

Whatever works. To each his own. Have fun. Supposed to be some fun shit. I don't want to serious out the fun. Yeah, it was funny. It was funny. It was funny. What did he say about me?

[B]

He mentioned the changes that the pod went through and then that you making a lot of money.

[D]

Complimentary.

[B]

Oh yeah, he did say that too. Forgot about that part.

[A]

What he said?

[D]

He said you're on drugs.

[A]

Yeah. You said I was on drugs?

[B]

You on drugs?

[D]

I forgot it was epic.

[A]

Cause I was sleepwalking.

[B]

Yeah, that's what it was.

[A]

But that wasn't his year.

[D]

So you reach him, he's like, not even doing it.

[A]

It was the end of last year.

[B]

It was.

[A]

But last year nonetheless. That's the other reason I know I'm phony now on Netflix, I pull up all that. If it don't say 2020, that 2026 is fucking me up up there for some of them shows. 2026. That one little change is jacking me up.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, my lord. Yo, not a topic at all. But I started Yellowstone and. And morning show. I'm at like, episode six or seven. Yo, morning show.

[D]

That's just.

[B]

You still in season one?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

I want to go back. I might watch yo morning show with.

[A]

Steve Carell being accused of sexual misconduct and how it affects the business.

[B]

Yeah, crazy.

[A]

See, they should have wrote that for. For that would have made in the description that would. That.

[B]

That they don't tell you nothing.

[A]

They don't tell you that.

[B]

They tell you you nothing.

[D]

Some happy go lucky too, about a morning show.

[A]

But no, Steve Carell was in there. Everybody that worked at the morning show.

[B]

Yes, he was.

[A]

And then Jennifer Aniston is in a contract negotiation and she wants co anchor. She wants to co anchor approval. And then Reese R. Is a nut. That show is. I'm almost done with season one.

[D]

It's fine.

[A]

I'm almost done with season one.

[B]

Give me periodical. Periodical.

[D]

Yeah, please, please.

[B]

Because I'm just hearing where you at? And it's making me think that some.

[D]

Of this gets like, they.

[A]

I heard they fell off at some point.

[B]

No, they didn't.

[A]

I heard they got tough at some point. Two or three.

[D]

They were a little too. And maybe it's just the time. It was like a Covid base.

[B]

The Kobe show was. Yeah, they managed to. They ain't fall off, though. It was still no fall off.

[D]

But it was. There was certain points where I was like, all right, this is too, like, on the nose for me. It stretches, but it ends up being worth it in the long run. But there were some times where it's like, all right, Covid. I get it. Cool. The world's up. I live through it. Yeah. I don't want to see that anymore.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

That's another reason you shouldn't. Your chef right now. Honestly, Are you crazy? It is lawsuit city out here. It is that little hundred and fifty dollars she asking for. For me. You should have paid it. Yeah. Wait, you did Crazy. Yeah, y' all are crazy. It's the problem with ish when we have these talks is we came up in a Different time. We came up in like the 90s and the 2000s. It wasn't lawsuit City.

[B]

That is true.

[A]

So today we gotta think like, so as we be like, oh, discipline, discipline. But it ain't discipline.

[B]

It's knowing that's part of the discipline.

[D]

Yeah, they go too.

[B]

That's still part of the discipline. Knowing that, yo, doing this could lead to that. We can't fall and then make everything fall. Make all the Jenga pieces fall.

[A]

You don't get. You still go. The chef. Look at that.

[B]

I didn't say none of that.

[A]

When you get some money, like, money, money.

[B]

I didn't. I'm. I'm minding my business. I'm saying that when we was. I. I put it in context. Like, you can't judge a 20 something year old dude with our 40 something year old brain.

[D]

30 something.

[B]

And sometimes we do that. Like, we did that. We was about to do that with Casa Nade. We did that with John T. Murray. A lot of these things you talking about gentlemen that are fresh out of college, fresh in, like, learning life.

[A]

I don't care about that. I caught you moving around again.

[B]

You didn't catch me moving nowhere.

[A]

You into comedy? Yeah, I sure am.

[B]

You know what you into?

[A]

Yo, you act like you don't send them to my page.

[B]

[B]

I'mma start telling you the sights I.

[A]

See on you, yo. I'm just telling you what I see. This shit is in Spanish in you right there, yo. So I'm on the phone. I'm on the phone with Ian the other day. You know What? In my 20, 26 bag, trying to get the these things right, right? This cleaning lady comes over there, huh? Right? He tell her some in English. She say, huh? What don't don't you know? This man starts speaking fluent Spanish to his cleaning lady and Schwartzman, Schwarzman. Ian starts speaking fluent Spanish to his cleaning lady, having a whole conversation. So I Look him dead in the face. I'm like, yo, dog, why have I never known that you can speak Spanish? And he looks at me and says, I speak Spanish, like, fluently.

[D]

I didn't know that.

[A]

I said, ian, why didn't I ever know that? He said, I mean, we. You never asked.

[B]

You don't speak Spanish, Spanish ain't gonna.

[A]

Speak it to you. Yeah, he said, you never asked. When people look you in the face and say something as dumb as you never ask, I'm gonna just randomly say, hey.

[D]

By the way, he's been on Duolingo going crazy for the past four years.

[B]

I'm not mad at you.

[A]

Speaking Spanish changes the game. But anyway, so I'm like, damn, why didn't I know that? I know that Edith Kino's lady speaks Spanish, of course. But I know that because we went to Costa Rica. True. And she was speaking Spanish to the people out there.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And Ian was supposed to go.

[D]

He was.

[A]

To Costa Rica. Which led me to. While I'm on the phone with him, I'm saying, yo, dawg, now that I think about it, you and your wife have told some of the worst couple lies that I've ever heard, starting with how y' all ended up not going to Costa Rica.

[B]

Oh, that's the lie right there.

[A]

Stop it, dog. Jules was. Was three days pregnant. She was three days pregnant, saying, hey, we came from the doctor. I'm pregnant. And the doctor said that I shouldn't fly or I shouldn't be around mosquitoes. That's what they said to some. To people with children.

[D]

I didn't get one mosquito bite.

[A]

I mean, I got a bunch, but I have kids. I've been there for multiple pregnancies.

[B]

Not just that.

[A]

That is the biggest crock of shit that I've ever heard.

[B]

The doctors won't tell you not to floss. And the fact they told my girl when my girl was pregnant that you have up until. It's a name for it. A something trip. It's a name for it. Like your 7th, 8th month is when you supposed to take that last trip before you conceive.

[A]

Julia was 30 minutes pregnant. And they said that they won't tell.

[B]

You you can't fly.

[A]

Which led me to your dog. You have to tell. Y' all have to tell better lies as a couple. As a couple that you did for Costa Rica for New Year's, you not being at my birthday. Like, some of the lies that y' all were telling was, oh, I'm just sleepy today. What ain't Put no effort into the lies. That's what I'm saying.

[B]

Just mail in the lion.

[A]

That's what I'm. As a couple, y', all together. Two brains. Two minds are better than one. Two brains are better.

[B]

Gotta come up with something better.

[A]

Y' all have to come up with something better than that. So that leads me to couple. I mean, lies that you have told as a couple.

[D]

I got an easy one off RIP trip for the New Year's Eve party. People came in. I'm wearing a tuck shirt and a bow tie and tux pants. Everyone's like, you didn't put that on. The invitation not to wear, you know, to get. Put some on. I was like, well, my wife, she wanted to get dressed up, so I got to get dressed up now. I put it right on her, and she corroborated. And, you know, everyone sat there in their hoodies and had to deal with it.

[B]

That's fine.

[A]

That's fire.

[B]

The couple do is always the one where we don't go somewhere that's. I put it on her all the time. Or the kids. Oh, yeah, we'll use the kids. Oh, yo, we couldn't do it because we just didn't feel like it. Like, honest to God, half the time, I don't go somewhere, I just don't feel like it.

[D]

Which is fine, by the way. You could also say that.

[A]

Okay, all right, we're getting somewhere now. We cooking with grease and oil here. What do y' all do when one of y' all want to go somewhere and the other one don't?

[B]

It depends on who want to go. If it's. If it's fa.

[A]

All right, so if it's what fa. If I want to go, we going.

[B]

If you don't want to go, you go.

[D]

I don't think that's necessarily true.

[B]

No, he said that. I didn't say anything.

[A]

He didn't say that. I truly didn't say that.

[D]

Because if your girl want to go somewhere, unfortunately. Or you gotta go.

[A]

Yeah, no. Okay, perfect.

[B]

Yes. You come.

[A]

I'm a rat. I'm. I'm a snitch.

[A]

Because we got to go to this party. So I say, okay, send. Let me see the invitation. Yo, I'm a judgy man. Do y' all know that about me?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

So she showed me the flyer.

[B]

Huh?

[A]

Wait, El Monte. Are you crazy? You not going here? No, we not going. Anyway. So she shows me the name of the place. The name of the place has a K in it, but the K is in weed plants.

[D]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Problem number one.

[B]

I know the spot you're talking about.

[A]

I'm probably not gonna go there. So I find the place on Instagram. It's the. The. The X list. All stars in this place. Like, a bunch of. They got a. They doing ads and doing influencer type up in this, and I just start seeing some of the people that's in here. They talking about, we got six floors aparting the floor, just like, it's all. I looked at my girl and said, hey, check this out. You can come up here that day, but I ain't going to this party. You crazy as hell if I'm going. But I sent a gift. I'll do something else. But let's come up with a couple lie. Yeah, let's come up with the lie. Hey, think of it now. Think of it now, because when that date come. Nah, it ain't happening. Sorry on the pod. Sorry. Well, they gonna hear. They go here. I love you. No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[D]

Then I don't want to do anything this month. Yeah, don't invite me to shit.

[A]

My low this month. My energy. I'm not sharing energy with people in the weed influencer party spot. So then she brought up your party that we went to. She said, we went to Ice Shit, and you remember Ice Shit. And I said, we didn't plan on going to Ice Shit. We just happened to be free and available at the same time.

[B]

That's different than planning to go to something.

[A]

I'm talking about planning to go. I never said a word to Ice about at that party, right? You did. I just popped up.

[B]

I told Nick.

[A]

I just popped up, though. So. Yeah, n. Sorry, buddy. Sorry, sorry. And it's messed up. I didn't go to my brother's birthday party last night. Damn. My older brother, everybody was there.

[B]

Hey.

[A]

They was having a blast. I should have won it. I should have went over there and said hello.

[A]

Oh, me too. But no, did it go ahead?

[B]

I would like to get a dog, but I live in New York. Having a dog in New York to me doesn't seem right.

[B]

This big ass cat.

[A]

Yo, I ain't got you in New York.

[C]

They barking all that.

[D]

I mean, you might be right about that too. But cats are valid everywhere, dog.

[B]

I know what I don't like with the cats, it's not as personal as the dogs.

[D]

Oh, you bugging My cats are hella.

[C]

It depends on the cat. Some kids stay away from their people. Some cats are colors it just depends on. So if you get a cat that's not a color, that's what you're looking for. You just get another one. Because they have their own little personalities.

[D]

Yeah, I got one of each one's personable one is Hugo Hyde.

[A]

It's just such a. I'm now remembering all of them. Me and it stopped talking. And then when we started talking again, I had a big dog. Yeah, that was scared. That for Brooklyn.

[D]

Everyone was scared.

[A]

That's a Brooklyn. No, no, no, no, wait. No, no, no, no. It's wouldn't come in my house.

[B]

Let me tell you what happened happened. No, no, no, this is what happened.

[D]

It was just a little nip, but it beats Brooklyn. Yeah, just a little bit. You try to bite someone else.

[A]

I mean, the dog, it bit me too.

[B]

Thank God. But my. You hear the justifying stupidity. It's a Kane Corso that's running around biting people.

[A]

Exactly. Not running around biting people.

[B]

What was he doing doing?

[A]

He was home biting people. Yo, it wouldn't come in my house. No, but it wouldn't come inside my house.

[B]

You ring the doorbell and all you hear in responsibility. Let me tell you what happened, all right? Me and Joe didn't speak for mad long.

[A]

Cool.

[D]

He trained the dog to hate you.

[A]

No, that's him right there. Show this to everybody.

[B]

The very first day I go to the crib, once we start speaking, the. The dog is sitting on the porch. I get out the car, the dog rushes down. I jump back in my car.

[A]

This crossing my Ben's bacon. Oh, yo, what are you doing?

[B]

That's what. Why you jump back in the car?

[C]

Why?

[A]

Oh, God. I told you, it's just a. Hey, I told you. This is a bitch.

[B]

You talking, man.

[A]

Yo, dog, bro. This was dog ass.

[B]

Six foot dog jumps on my car.

[A]

And then all black and ain't never been on a leash. Didn't know what a leash was.

[B]

Never think it be night time. You go in the house, it's pitch black and you just hear the dog bark.

[D]

When you first got Brooklyn, that was scary over there in Tota n. He.

[B]

First got Brooklyn over here.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, yeah, you're right, you're right.

[B]

That's when we thought he was.

[A]

That's when he was eating.

[B]

Yeah, we thought we was like, yo, Joe, you got a dog.

[A]

But you can't keep saying. You can't say that. Three of them all.

[B]

I forgot. We can't say that one. Its own feces.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, he was.

[D]

Yeah, he went through a stage, this little dookie stage.

[B]

We thought that dog was a little different, yo.

[A]

Well, that's because we were ill informed. The dogs do have. In that first year into a segment where a phase where they eating and there's things in the that they. They need.

[B]

He wasn't just eating the well.

[A]

He was rolling around having, like. It wasn't just eating the well. It was in the dog cage.

[B]

Like, every day. You gotta go watch this dog now. Like, you leave to go to the store, you come back, and he done it.

[A]

And then.

[C]

Harder. He smiled like he really remember. Like, damn.

[A]

But this is the shit that make.

[B]

Me crazy for not wanting to be around a dog that's rolling around his own feces.

[A]

Harlem was the best. Harlem was the best dog ever. By the time you met him, he wasn't doing that. By the time you met him, he was chilling me. He was on bite mode. He had to switch on it. Stupid ass. Oh, shout out to everybody out there with pets. Parks is still under my investigation.

[D]

I'd like to. I'd like to learn more.

[A]

Parks has a cat too, too.

[B]

Why are you having this cat, though?

[A]

Anyway, we're gonna get.

[C]

One day.

[A]

You're gonna meet these cats.

[B]

Me and my girl go through this argument every day. Damn near. Because I hate dogs. Well, I hate pets. And she has two dogs when we moved in. So I'm like. I call one of them the bane of my existence. That's how I refer to them. Like, yo, let me go.

[D]

You don't like no pets?

[B]

No, I don't like pets because, yo, you such a.

[A]

That's your man. Yo, this dog is the bath of myself. I hate dogs.

[B]

I'm not gonna say I hate dogs. I just don't. I don't like pets.

[A]

You ain't hate them that much.

[C]

You got two.

[A]

Yo, she did whatever she want on the movement. Yo, I got six dogs. You hate them? They coming. What else? What else you hate? You allergic to celery. I'm to allergic. Bring in some celery.

[B]

Nah, nah. But. But yeah, not just. I never like pets because I don't like. That's constant. That's fully never changing. Dependent on you.

[C]

And you.

[B]

You know, sometimes I might not want to feed you. Today I won't have to deal with that today. That's all you got three. Children grow up. Children grow up. Eventually they can get some level of independence. Eventually, they.

[A]

Your dog will be dead before the child.

[B]

I'm just saying out. Not you saying about kids. I'm just saying, at some point, kids.

[D]

You might need some therapy.

[C]

Did they also take the attention off you? Because now she paying attention to the dog.

[B]

No, no, it ain't that. He competing with Bane.

[C]

He's competing with Bane. Get her attention, Bane. Make her smile away.

[A]

You Know what I mean? Oh, that's why you came in looking like that last boy. Try to imitate B. The bane of Mike.

[C]

What is he doing?

[A]

All right, come on. Let's find something entertaining to talk about. What else? What else is entertaining out there to talk about? Let's see. We did the wrap ups. Thank God, New Doji, we did that. What else is important? It's the first. It's the first month of the year. Ain't nothing popping out there.

[D]

MTV's pop.

[B]

Like officially done as far as MTV.

[A]

MTV is a music channel. It's officially done as we know it. I would queue up another One Bites the Dust. They got a whole bunch of news and. Yeah, ridiculous shit going on.

[B]

They've been done though. What happened is the music. So what happened? They had like MTV then they had like the MTV Jams or whatever that will play like music videos. The alternate channels. Those are now the. Now there's nothing that plays music videos anymore sober.

[A]

Yep. And I'm doing this for those of us that grew up in a generation where that was extremely important one and for those of us that had many a time up there at 1515 Broadway. It's a sad day. It's a sad day and time. Lot of good times up there. So it's over.

[B]

It's over.

[A]

It's over. The kids don't give a fuck.

[D]

Yeah. Go into YouTube. Yeah.

[B]

They don't care. They're.

[A]

The kids are changing. They go to YouTube.

[B]

Like, you see.

[C]

I used to watch MK, MTV every.

[B]

Religiously ready in the morning.

[C]

Roll rules. I would watch. What's the Daily Show? What was that called with trl. Trl. I used to watch trl. Like I thought that eventually I would go to Times Square and jump around out there, but never happened. Thank God I wasn't that dumb. But TV was a big deal. Like I remember before they even played for real because that was like a thing. But I feel like they have performed there. Did you.

[A]

Yeah, that was a big deal.

[B]

That is a big deal.

[C]

That was like prime time after school we went home and watched stuff like that. That was a big deal.

[A]

Yeah. That's when.

[C]

Yeah, I promise you. The other day we were watching. We were just like putting stuff on and we put music videos on. I hadn't seen half of them. Now these are hits that I like, but the thought of not even knowing what the video that goes with the hit song look like when it would not be one, didn't live without the other. You had to have the video. You know, viewership Just like the listening to the song. You know what I mean? We waited for shit like that. Michael Jackson's fucking videos be six minutes.

[B]

Thursday night at 8 o'.

[A]

Clock.

[B]

Network TV stop prime time. Network TV for a video dog. Like Michael Jackson was something else.

[C]

And then you know how youtuber picked this stuff for you. And a Buster song came on and it was so crazy. Cause I said to myself, I don't even know a Buster. Buster would have been as big because his videos were just so good. It was bigger than the music.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[C]

You know what John came on when he played on White Face. Remember Bust the video. I feel like sometimes he'll get enough. Give me some more. I think that might be. I think he don't get enough credit for that sometimes. Because he was like that on the videos too.

[D]

But he was.

[A]

He was.

[C]

Yeah. Music video. I don't know how that, you know, got lost in translation. Because are still making videos. So apparently.

[D]

And they get a lot of views on YouTube and they do get them.

[C]

But it's just not like it was when we were kids. It's not the same.

[A]

Well.

[D]

Cause it's not on like a mainstream television. You gotta go find it yourself a little bit.

[B]

No, not just that. Everybody got a phone in their hand, right? So you don't have to go home, look at a TV screen to see the video. If you want to look at a video, you could be fucking on a bus looking at your YouTube. You could be out and about looking at YouTube. You don't necessarily have to go to one place. BET, MTV, the jukebox and all that shit we used to have. You don't have to do that no more. You know what I'm saying? So the BET and Emmy simply juke.

[A]

This is such an old ass. These kids got phone. They can see it now as no smartphones.

[B]

We just have to pay to see the video. You have to pay to see a video.

[A]

We got it, y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

We old.

[B]

Sometimes it's fun looking back at that, seeing how everything came a long way. Like that is different.

[A]

I was thinking about Michael Jackson this morning and. Which led me down a rabbit hole.

[C]

I think about him often.

[A]

Janet Jackson got to be the LeBron James or sisters, Right?

[D]

Tell me more.

[B]

I think yes. Trying to think who else.

[A]

Your brother's Michael Jackson, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And you still managed to be Janet Jackson.

[B]

Who's second? Like, who would be the. Who would be the sister under her? Like. Yeah, she's LeBron. So now who's number two? Those are the sisters.

[A]

What is like, Ray J. Oh, yo, sorry. Ray J is another friend, too.

[C]

I'm a big fan of Ray J.

[B]

Man, that's crazy, son.

[A]

I can't think of any more assistance. Yeah, yeah.

[D]

It's hard to.

[A]

Oh, sisters. It'll come to me. It'll come to me.

[C]

Did y' all see that picture she just posted recently? She looks so good. Y' all see the last pictures Jana.

[A]

Dropped when she was on the wall with the up unit?

[C]

No, it was like she. Like, she just got her hair done or something. They just dropped on Twitter. It's on Twitter.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Like, a week ago, she looked amazing.

[A]

You still call it Twitter.

[B]

It's gonna always be Twitter.

[D]

It's always Twitter. Yeah.

[A]

What the.

[C]

Y'.

[A]

All. Y' all still on threads. Remember, y' all came in here. Y' all came in here and pumped up that episode. I might go back and find that episode. Yo, Ice and Parks. Really Ice. When that thread was out, I just like, oh, I may never use anything else again. I think I delete that a week later. That going.

[C]

That was.

[D]

Yeah, they still be trying to pump that in the. In the. In, like, the app thing and take.

[B]

You to the app store. Nope, I don't want to see. I don't got to see it.

[C]

[C]

Crazy.

[B]

When the app first opened up, we all had threads. Case, listen, because y' all be actively on Twitter. Y' all was comparing threads to Twitter. Do you and rock with the one you like the most?

[A]

I'm not asking about.

[B]

I ain't do that.

[A]

Do you have another apartment? Do you? No.

[B]

All right, then. So what you talking about? Moon is my.

[A]

I need to look at my brother. Hold on.

[B]

Open that again.

[A]

Studio apartment.

[B]

No.

[A]

Open again. A2 family somewhere.

[B]

Yo, what is wrong?

[A]

That boy. All right, man. All right, listen. Also, y' all didn't tell me. Y' all didn't tell me that Chevy. Chevy Chase was on the bad white people list. What he do? Yo, I heard. I work with people that. I work with people that never know what the hell these people are doing.

[D]

Chevy Chase a white man dance. I didn't know he was.

[A]

What he do now? I got to go find him. Somebody was about to know. Chevy Chase. Let me find this.

[B]

I ain't no ch.

[D]

I just. I just watched National Lampoon.

[B]

Chris Chase is a white great, bro.

[D]

Well, let's be careful what he said.

[A]

Slow down. Slow down. And why is Chevy Chase a white grape?

[D]

That's what I expect nostalgia for is not.

[A]

If he run around saying, oh, I.

[B]

Ain'T know about all that. Yeah, I'm over here looking now. He has repeated allegations of abuse on set behavior says Chase has been widely described as verbally abusive, demeaning and hostile to his castmates.

[D]

I've heard that one. I've heard that one.

[B]

Complaints include yelling, personal insults, intimidation, making sets uncomfortable to work on, racist and offensive language claims former colleagues have accused Chase of using racial slurs and making racially offensive jokes. Notably, several cast members from Community alleged use offensive language during arguments with writers and cast. Chase has at times denied intent. Okay. Claims jokes were misunderstood and remarks were taken out of context. This is not helping. Sexist remarks and misogynistic conduct. Some co workers and writers have described demeaning comments towards women, including the missive remarks about female cast members and staff. This has contributed to him being seen as difficult and outdated in modern workplace environments. Then it says this. Infamous feuds with Saturday Night Live, eh? Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah. All right.

[C]

You see this stuff about Donald Glover?

[B]

Nah, it doesn't go into detail.

[A]

Chevy Chase had a full meltdown on the Community set after his alleged N word use went public, reveals director J. Shandra Skittenheiser or something. I'm the name. Who, me? Over my Career is ruined. I'm ruined. All of you. Says Chevy Chase. There was history between Chevy and Eyvette Nicole Brown around race. And she got up and stormed out of there. Chevy. Chevy storms off. So the producer is like, we need Eyvette in the scene, right? I'm like, yeah, she's in the next scene. And he goes, well, she won't come out unless Chevy apologizes to her. Chevy comes back and goes, you know me. You know me and Richard Pryor. I used to call Richard Pryor the N word, and he used to call me the honky. And we loved each other. And I'm like, I know, man. I love that bit. I said, you know, can we just have a little apology? He goes, for what? And the story continues, but this is coming out now. After that, I read all of the shit that Ice just mentioned, and I had no idea that Chevy Chase was a piece of shit.

[D]

I didn't know that either.

[A]

I had no clue.

[B]

He sound like.

[D]

I heard he was asking like one.

[B]

Of those motherfuckers who didn't hit the update button. He 82 years old.

[C]

Yeah. So that's what I was thinking. I said, I feel like once they get to that old nigga stage, harder to kind of like keep shit under wraps. And they come from such a different time.

[B]

They come from that time where you.

[C]

Could just openly do whatever the fuck you want and nobody tells. It's like, we ain't in them times. And sneaky record you, Mr. Chase, and.

[B]

End you and injury. And just societal norms have changed. Like a bunch of the gay jokes you used to make back in the day, like all of the comedy specials from the greats today, that shit wouldn't fly.

[D]

Yeah, that's fact.

[B]

Not even close. So I just think again, you know, old people be stuck in they ways. My nigga, he 80 years old. That nigga was on the original Big Dogs of Saturday Night Live and all of that shit. You just stuck in your ways and you refuse to conform.

[A]

I'm not using the society changed an example for gay jokes when it comes to white people saying nigga.

[B]

No, no. I was just using that as an example of things that you used to could get away with that you can't get away with today. And they used to get away with saying nigga.

[C]

Yeah, and eat him.

[B]

It was always the intent was always the word. The intent behind the word is always.

[A]

That throw Frankie Chevy Chase. So I know you real Chevy Chase.

[B]

Him. I'm a fuck about Chevy Chase.

[A]

Ish, dog.

[B]

You know, I Could care less about these 80 year old white men.

[A]

I don't know that shit, man. You start telling me about Lampoon.

[B]

It's not my man.

[A]

Why you know so many Chevy Chase movies then?

[B]

Cause I'm.

[A]

You just said he was white great. 49 years old recant all that white greatness shit you said. Seriously, dumbass. What I'm see if we had to do it for Kevin Spacey.

[B]

We can't rep for Kevin Spacey no more about Chevy. Chevy Chase. Kevin Spacey chevron Chase. You got to walk it back. He can't be a.

[A]

He can't be a gray white.

[B]

Y' all made me walk Hulk Hogan back. You gotta walk Chevy Chase back.

[C]

Ain't it such a weird.

[A]

These be praising some weird. Not praising.

[B]

Praising.

[A]

Hold on.

[B]

Y' all have a segment of calling white people great.

[A]

Oh, no, no, no. Yes.

[B]

All right, so shut up then. Ain't nobody praising none of these.

[A]

Nah. But I take it back once I find out they bad. Except for Post Malone.

[C]

And it's such a white man thing to do.

[B]

Post Malone bullshit.

[A]

I mean, he said it before, but I mean he was young. Listen, listen, like we.

[C]

It's such a white man thing to do. To be like, oh, me and Richard Bart used to.

[A]

To. We used.

[C]

I used to call him.

[B]

Yeah. So it ain't no big deal.

[C]

Yeah, it's such a. Because it's like the things that Richard Brier had to do to get along in Hollywood. I bet you he did play games like that. If. If deep down inside he hated your ass in that exchange, you would never know what that black man had to do to get to where he was. But it's just such a white guy thing to say. Well, Richard Pr. Let me call him a. Like, who gives a. That was Richard Pry been dead.

[A]

Dead and going.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I don't give a. What Richard let you do. Y' all can sit over there and. Kiki. You can't call me. No, that don't mean I gotta accept it because Richard accepted it.

[A]

Pistol whip the out of Jason talking.

[B]

About Chase your ass with a Chevy.

[A]

He was not great. Yeah, yeah. Let's see. What else? What else? What else what? I feel like there's something else.

[C]

Who's suing this man? Can we talk about that? I want to know.

[A]

Will Smith. Will Smith is being sued by someone he used to work with.

[B]

Former violinist. A former employee of his.

[D]

A violinist.

[C]

A violinist.

[A]

No, go ahead. Y' all good.

[C]

I know her.

[B]

It's not a her.

[C]

Damn.

[A]

And Mona. Nobody nowhere believe that you know, the violinist. You ever seen a violin? Oh, shit.

[D]

It could be a Philly thing.

[C]

I figured this little random. I figured out how to trick the viewers. When y' all talk about sports, I just listen to what one of y' all mumble, and then I'll be like, yeah, exactly. 83, bro. 83 points. That was crazy. And it makes people think. I know what the fuck going on.

[B]

Will Smith has been sued by professional violinist Brian King Joseph. He's a touring violinist and America's Got Talent finalist. He claims that Smith and his management company, Trey Ball Studios. Management. There's a joke there. I'm gonna let it go. Engaged in.

[A]

Oh, I thought you were Joey. That's the real name of the chair. Trey Ball.

[B]

That's the name of it.

[C]

After the son.

[B]

His son named Trey.

[C]

His son named Trey.

[A]

Whose son is named Trey?

[C]

Will. Will's son named Trey. What?

[A]

Will Smith son is named Trey?

[C]

You got the one. That's Jada's, the other ladies. But a Trey Ball is what it sound like a bag of coke. What the is a Tray Ball?

[A]

Go ahead.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Go on, bro.

[C]

I want to know the joke.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Joseph claims that Smith and his management company, Tray Ball Studios management engaged in sexual harassment, predatory behavior, wrong termination and retaliation. He says that. He said they was grooming him. Yeah, they were. He said he. Will Smith has made inappropriate personal remarks such as, you and I have a special connection that I don't have with anyone else.

[A]

Wait, that's bad.

[C]

I hate to victim.

[A]

That's bad to say.

[B]

I mean, it makes sense what he's saying, but go ahead.

[C]

I hate the victim blame, but does that.

[B]

I said that to order what you say?

[A]

Yes. I mean, that's the picture.

[C]

Listen, I'm not a victim blamer. And here at the Joe Bun Podcast, we do not victim blame. No, but you can't trust nothing that wear color contacts.

[A]

This boy, you know what?

[C]

Green gray eyes, he's a liar.

[A]

I'm letting you get your off something I've noticed up here. When males come forward to say, yo, some shit went on, we get. We drop them niggas through the ringer. And when women come forward, we're very delicate and sensitive to the matter at hand.

[C]

Not me.

[A]

And it's something that I want to change about how we deliver things.

[B]

You do know the why.

[A]

But not today. That's something I want to get better at.

[B]

We going to work on it, but not right now.

[A]

First of all, let me tell you what we think. This is him right here.

[C]

It's a couple things, though. The fact that he's been on television already, the fact that he funny looking, it does matter. He got a little funny.

[A]

This pulled up a picture of homeboy and now we profiling him.

[C]

Teal dreads and color contacts to match. We don't trust it. Teal dreads with contacts to match them shits I don't believe. Half blonde, half too damn Ombre dreads with contacts to match it. I don't believe it.

[A]

And y' all doing all that? He got a violin. He's no sugar Stop, man. What the hell are y' all talking about? You have to get that deep. Hey, how many people you. Go ahead, go ahead.

[C]

He's been on America's Got Talent.

[A]

That's the other one that gives you that.

[C]

You want to be famous. You searching to get some fame. You know what I mean?

[B]

So there's a hotel room incident that they. That he's listing here.

[A]

Says it occurs free will, yo.

[B]

It occurs in March 2025 in Vegas. During the tour, Joseph alleges someone entered his hotel room without permission. It was booked by Will Smith's team. Inside, he claims he found a handwritten note addressed to him saying, brian, I'll be back. Just us signed stone F. Along with personal items and a bottle of HIV medication in another person's name.

[D]

Oh, shit.

[A]

Well, that's pretty smooth. What?

[C]

What is smooth about that?

[A]

What are you talking about?

[C]

That is so sweet.

[A]

Yo, this is all for entertainment purposes, of course. Of course. I don't know what's real or what's not or who needs a prayer or a hug and who don't. I'm saying I booked you a room. I left a little handwritten note that said romantic, laid on just us. And I just never let me not say that. But somebody got some crack. Somebody just in case just took the H out. Be mad if I. If I just. Flowers. Just paint the picture if you. If some. If Somebody just popped in this crushing my system right now. About to go crazy. I'm taking the dick pill and my HIV bed back. Mona, wake the up in here. We in Vegas. We about to have a night. We in Vegas. My. Hey, put that violin up, boy. Hey, hey, you ain't gonna need that tonight. You the violin. I'm putting you right over my shoulder. Oh, my God. When I come back. That's what he was trying to tell him to know. Yo, when I get back, we gonna get the fiddling. That's what I'm saying.

[C]

This nigga said just us.

[A]

Take your Shower now. Just us, me and yo. Take this shower now.

[D]

Prep for you too.

[A]

Yeah, soap it up. Smell like some fucking aromatherapy shit when I walk in.

[C]

And then like, bro, the pole pie should be over. Once Joe said I put you over my shoulder, you going too far.

[B]

So dude said he.

[A]

I just know how I would be if I. Cause back in the day, it wasn't no HIV meds. So now what? Wait, you could live. Hey, you. I'm coming back to this room. Holy. Give a little bit of kick tonight later.

[B]

Give a little bit to kick in.

[A]

Take it now and have that teal little braid.

[B]

Leave that to the front.

[A]

Hey. Leave that in tonight. Start coming back. If this really happened, then this is horrible.

[C]

But it doesn't sound believable. Finish it don't sound believable.

[B]

All right, so. So then it says he reported this incident. He reported this to hotel staff, local police on the non emergency line. And Smith's tour management. And then he was fired right after that. Days later, he was terminated from the tour. Saying that they're moving in another direction. Even though they never hired another violinist.

[A]

Dumbass.

[C]

He made a job for you.

[A]

You. That doesn't sound.

[D]

This doesn't sound. Doesn't sound like it benefits you. They didn't need no violinist.

[A]

He was only there for one thing. Done, dummy. You never heard Sa yo viol get JY with it. It ain't one in Miami. It ain't. Parents just don't understand. Oh, my Lord.

[B]

Yo said that y' all still read he was deliberately grooming and priming Mr. Joseph for further sexual exploitation. You can't prove that. Yo, my nigga, I was being nice to you, right?

[C]

See how you.

[A]

And that's why I don't with you.

[B]

Amongst many reasons.

[A]

But go ahead, keep going. You can't your violinist. It's in the same way you can't the chef. So don't change up the rules now when it's gay.

[B]

Play who said ain't nobody say nothing about you.

[A]

Cause I don't hear you saying, yo he young.

[C]

Make mistakes.

[B]

Imagine what I'm doing.

[A]

You can't fuck your violinist, my nigga.

[B]

Yes, he could. If the violinist was down to fuck him back. What you talking about?

[C]

That violinist would definitely be down.

[A]

And you're wrong. Even if it's consensual. I learned this on the morning show. Well, I didn't learn this on the morning show, actually. But if it's consensual and you work.

[D]

For me, still not right.

[B]

The risk ain't worth It.

[A]

It's wrong, homeboy. Hey, what did you think you meant? Oh, man. Your free will, man. I don't think Will did none of this. I don't know. I don't have no facts. Let's leave this to the experts to actually investigate and be mature and responsible. That's not what I sit on this white couch.

[B]

We're not being mature.

[A]

I don't sit on this white couch to be mature and responsible. So glad my little sister's not here no more. Oh, my God. That's when I realized how this pod was not for kids.

[D]

No, it's not very much when you.

[A]

Bring a family member up in. See, that's why I'm like that.

[D]

Start yelling about prostitution and it's a lot.

[A]

Lord. Cover your ears, Jimmy. Anyways, the violinist.

[C]

That sound. It doesn't sound.

[A]

Now watch Stefan Diggs try to go get him a violinist.

[C]

It don't sound believable and it sound hard to prove, cuz. How can you prove who wrote the note? That part.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And the crap has somebody else name on it.

[A]

I would have got a. That played some Kenny G on the mother. When I take my HIV meds, I want to hear Kenny G. Not me, cuz I don't. I'm not, God willing, knock on every. And you.

[B]

You think the was trying to be funny and not say Will name cuz he could have got sued.

[C]

What, the js?

[A]

No, I think that if that were to be the case, I don't think.

[B]

It would be insinuating.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what he was doing. If somebody of that in that.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

In that rarefied air. He's not walking around with their name on that type of bottle. I don't know that that's what he was implying, but when I read it, it came off. It came off.

[B]

I mean, that name would draw the attention. But again, if this is Will's tour, the company, it could have been somebody else. This happened on y' all watch. I reported it to y'.

[C]

All.

[B]

I went through the. Let's say it wasn't Will. He trying to say, well, it was just another nigga on the tour. I went through the. Yo, I ain't want to fuck with this. I reported this and you. Because y' all fired me. Talking about right after that, we go another direction. I'm gonna sue y' all for that.

[C]

Right.

[B]

It ain't gotta have nothing to do with Will. But it's still your tour. Your. Your company. Now, you include all the names in the lawsuit. You go all the way up the line.

[A]

I wasn't listening to y'. All. Cause I was busy being immature. But did he say that they did something or.

[B]

No, no. Said they were grooming him for future what's this name?

[C]

Prepared to get fucked.

[A]

Let's get him the fuck out of here.

[C]

So, like, thousands of went there for New Year's, and when the countdown happened, nothing happened. Oh, N. Was out there for hours trying to get a good. You know how you go in there early, get a good spot. So they out there bundled up little. Probably had the diaper and the pad on and to get them a good spot to catch these fireworks.

[D]

Oh, shit.

[B]

And they recording the countdown. Three, two, one. And everybody standing, looking around. Stood there for a. A few minutes. He just had to walk the off.

[C]

I like them.

[B]

You like fireworks?

[C]

Yeah. I asked somebody that was coming to my house for, like, the party, can you bring some? His exact response is my phone glitching or did you just ask me for fireworks? Like, fuck off, bitch. Like, what's wrong with us doing our own fireworks, Motherfucker. People are so corny.

[A]

Also, before we move on, Tommy Lee's daughter, Tommy Lee Jones's daughter was named Victoria, 34 years old. Yes. Found in Hotel San Francisco. We didn't say her name.

Now I don't know how that's. I don't know. Yeah but then they came out. It was other shit saying that that wasn't necessarily all the way true. Who knows. But he came out and he was like listen, all my jets, everything, everything I own is paid for. So if that is the case, you know he was doing fleets of vehicles, jets, houses in Miami, Vegas, all that type of shit. If and if that's the case then I still I'm not necessarily broke. But it has been said that he has very high spending habits and if the money's not coming it shit is hard to sustain.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Plus an entourage, take care of a lot of people. All that shit can catch up to you. I agree. Hey if he say I don't appear to be looking no different.

Terrible, crazy.

[A]

Go ahead, yo, I'm listening.

What you was about to say.

[A]

I'm not saying I don't have nothing to say. I don't know why you're making his face. I've already accepted that. With you and Mark here, we got to be freedom fighters sometimes, so I get it. I don't have nothing to say. Hey, you is locked up for weed. Freedom free you. Free them.

[C]

We are revolutionary.

[A]

How much we did.

[B]

[C]

There's no amount where you should do that much time. It's marijuana.

[A]

Wait, how much time?

[C]

20 years and 25.

[A]

Oh, no, I agree with that. Yeah. 20 years. No, come home, free them. Yeah, but I still want to know how much weed you have.

[C]

Let's say 50 to 100 pounds. What do you think? 100 pounds of marijuana? What kind of time you think you should do for that? Because I think 100 pounds of marijuana you should do probation in the halfway house. That's right.

[A]

Oh, you high.

[C]

It's weed. We sell it at Rite Aid. My.

[A]

What state. What state did you get caught with 100 pounds?

[B]

Some states you are gone to November. Like, bye, bye. A hundred pounds of weed. My. Yeah, they. You was getting 20 years in some of these things. How much you're getting? Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Commonwealth. Them is sending you up. Up.

[A]

Mona, don't sell no weed while you work with people.

[C]

I don't sell weed. I never sold.

[B]

That's what you heard.

[A]

Yeah, I got it.

[C]

You can hear it.

[A]

I see what's going on. She said £100, you get probation in the podcast. Let's slow it down.

[C]

He said probation.

[A]

But. Yes. Free. Free them. Free them. Free them for sure. What else? What else? What else? What else? What else, man, I need to work on my free them. Yeah.

[B]

You don't sound like you mean it.

[C]

There's no enthusiasm in it.

[A]

I need to work on that. I just heard on the playback that.

[C]

One sound like you were.

[A]

I say it like, long as I'm free, I'm sure that's up. You gotta say it like. You can tell I ain't spend no time in no jail. For real. Oh, my God. Next time. Next part I'm working on, come back. Y' all have any thoughts on them saying that they're thinking about charging the driver and the Anthony Joshua?

[D]

I think he has been charged.

[A]

He has been charged.

[D]

Yeah, it was a bunch of.

[B]

What? They charged him with manslaughter.

[D]

Yeah, I. I don't think he had a license. It was. It was.

[A]

See, you go ahead and playing around behind them cars without your paperwork straight and your license straight, without the right blood alcohol level.

[B]

All that. All that was. I was about to say, was he intoxicated?

[D]

No, I don't think so.

[A]

Blew out.

[C]

So why charge him with the license? That's.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Tire blew out. My. It's different, bro.

[C]

Sometimes I feel like. Like, I know we have law. It's law.

[B]

He faces. He faces multiple criminal counts, including causing death by dangerous driving, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care, and driving without a valid driver's license.

[C]

Yeah, like what the.

[B]

They was in Nigeria, bro.

[D]

Yeah, but you got to know the losses that you at.

[B]

Yeah, but if. If the tire blew out, as Corey saying, I don't know if. If that is legit, then I'm not necessarily recklessly driving. If the tire blows out and you lose control of the car. That's a whole different ball game, bro.

[A]

Getting charged with something. I think I understand what you're saying. If that's true, I think he'll beat some of that. But some of that gotta stick.

[B]

Driving with no license. They also suggested speeding and an overtake attempt were to blame for the crash. But the state's police commissioner told ESPN that a bird, a bus tire on his vehicle caused him to lose control and swerve into the stationary truck that was parked alongside of the road. Yeah, I mean, and if you ever been overseas, I don't know this particular road, but them roads be up. You know what I'm saying?

[C]

We had for sure.

[A]

All right. You try taking that to court.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

With two people dead, the roads be up.

[B]

And not just that as. As someone that has worked in insurance claims just by. By reading that part alone. How fat. I mean, there's other things that got to come into play now. How fast were you going? What's the speed limit on that road? And then once you also say that this person doesn't have a valid driver's license, they gonna attack all that off because you. Because at the beginning it's going to be you shouldn't have been behind the wheel. And if you were not. If you weren't behind the wheel, we. We don't have this. We don't have this conversation.

[A]

Now. When I thought about too off of the Anthony Joshua stuff for a second ice. You were a truck driver.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

You wasn't in happy ending spots all over the world?

[B]

No.

[C]

Have you ever gotten hot lizard?

[B]

No, I only did local driving.

[C]

Damn.

[B]

Those, those drivers that do that, that are usually over the road drivers who are going for weeks at a time. You're away from home, you got to hit the truck stops. I was local driver.

[C]

Oh yeah.

[B]

So I come home every day.

[A]

Got it.

[C]

I know some local drivers. Still got a lot of lizards though.

[B]

I mean that's them that driving them. If you go in like across state line something, you got to go 8, 10 hours on the road. I was local driving. I'm home in four or five hours.

[C]

I wouldn't mind me myself.

[B]

Yes, you would. Yes, you would.

[C]

Get me a lot lizard for the night.

[B]

All right. You see what some of that look like?

[C]

Go ahead, Joe. Pass it to Joe, pass it to j. I mean, I don't know. I feel like. I don't know in your. In your field. It's a lot of, you know, a lot of them drivers on myth and they lie lizards. I know you're different, bro.

[B]

I. I'm telling you. I. I think I said this up here when I went was in school. School like the cdl school, whatever. There was this one dude, weird little white dude. And all he kept saying was lot lizard. Like even while we in the truck with the instructor. He like, yo, where the lot lizards be? Where the lot lizards be? Like, yo, my man. That's how I first heard him. What the is a lot lizard? You don't know them girls that walk.

[A]

Around, they'll fuck you look at ish Ray to get a truck never ish ready to drive somewhere and get this shit popping.

[C]

And I follow a lot lizard. That's not that bad. She a little chubby.

[D]

You follow her a lot?

[B]

How you know she a lot lizard.

[C]

It because she post about sex work. I follow a lot of sex workers. Yeah, she post.

[A]

You might know more than us.

[C]

She post about her sex work, she post about her prices, she post about her outfit, she post about the like how boring it is.

[B]

Cuz she be at the truck stops.

[C]

Yeah, she be like. And she cut. Damn.

[B]

No, I'm saying you said she on air.

[A]

Want to know if she on threads.

[B]

You said she post about the prices. So I. I think that's intriguing.

[C]

You know, it's a bit intriguing.

[D]

I seen it's intriguing.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

My guy, you got another apartment somewhere? I'm a pine. Now I know why he won't.

[C]

I follow a lot of prostitutes. Well, not with sex workers. Excuse me. That's the appropriate term in 2026.

[A]

Fellas, my final. Is it a Mona before we leave this. Is there a difference to you between prostitutes and escorts?

[C]

No, it's a P and E. It's all the same thing. You're selling in the ass and mouth?

[B]

No.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I think at the end of the.

[C]

Day sometimes you can. A person might. A person might book an escort for just a date or just a vibe. And with prostitutes you kind of assume that they're only being booked for sex. But I know girls that are simple and plain prostitutes that sometimes catch dates that just need somebody around them or they want to get high with them or whatever. But I think escort is just a fancier term. Upper echelon prostitutes, same thing. I'm still in ass and mouth, three holes, that's it. You know, there's a mess or sitting high up on that hill like they doing any better.

[A]

And it's like you said, you don't see a difference, but then named a difference that you see so.

[C]

Because that's not. It's still.

[A]

No, it ain't.

[C]

Oh, man.

[B]

See, my. My difference was you can hire an escort that won't have sex. You can hire an escort to go to the Met gala or to a black tie fair with you because you're single and. And you just need somebody to accompany you, but sex is not a part of that.

[C]

Can I ask you a question? If we hire. Exactly.

[B]

If we.

[C]

If I did hire escort, right y', all and I booked her just for this moment. Right. And as I'm getting saucy at my reunion from the Ivy League school, I want some head. I could pay this to suck it. She's going to suck it. So what do we. That's what I'm saying. She's going to take the money. It's just you booked for. No, that's what I don't see the difference is the same thing.

[B]

I don't. I don't know nothing in that purchases. Yeah, like you want to upgrade.

[C]

Upgrade your services at any time. Trust me, baby girl gonna take that page.

[B]

You might be right. It's not my field, but from what I understood, it ain't my field either.

[A]

It's not his field.

[B]

No, from what I understood, all escorts wasn't necessarily. Wasn't wasn't about sex work. That's what I had heard in the past.

[A]

Yeah. If it's not your field, then don't even worry about it.

[B]

I know they weren't with the sex work. You plowed the field planting grass.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, it's cool.

[A]

All right, my final question for you, Ice.

[B]

Why you a answer? Give your opinion.

[A]

I said same. When? When you said there's a difference. I said same. I agree.

[B]

That was the question.

[A]

My final question for you. I saw a clip of a comedian talking about his experience getting a vasectomy. And. And his joke was, you know, the vasectomy wasn't the problem. The problem was right before the vasectomy, homeboy had to come in there and say he had to clean up the spot. So he did a whole bit about Duke coming in while he's in the waiting room to clean him up before the vasectomy. So I never thought of that. Clean up the area.

[D]

His penis, the grundle.

[A]

Yeah. Cuz he was like, I could clean it. But he was like, no, we talking about a professional grade cleaning. Which made me want to say, did.

[B]

They have to do that to me? Yeah, no, my. Like he said he could clean. I keep. Again, I'm.

[A]

I'm bald.

[C]

That's my so they.

[B]

They didn't have to. There was nothing to clean.

[C]

Nothing to clean. Cuz he bald. Giving bald dick, lying like a. I'm.

[B]

Not looking for him. I told that whole prostitute, even though. Oh, no, no. I thought you. When you say clean up the area, I'm thinking, you mean they had to shave them? No, because that's what they have. They want you again. If it's any type of surgery, they gonna shave you. Unless you're already bald. Yeah, so that's what I thought you was talking about. Of course they're gonna prep your area anytime they do any surgery. So the came in and rub alcohol on your screen.

[A]

That's what I'm asking. The nurse did that. The dude. Was it a dude? Nurse don't.

[B]

No, no, that was a girl. That was a girl. I'm gonna keep it a buck with you.

[D]

Did you request that?

[B]

No, I didn't request it, but we making jokes. It's more pressure if it's the girl. Cause you want shrink, shrink. I don't care. You want shrink, shrink, I don't care. Shrink, shrink, shrink, shrink, shrink. Tammy done seen a nigga with a little meat before.

[A]

I'm good.

[B]

She come in like, all right, I gotta get you. Jonathan touching on my meat, bro. I'm good. Well, he cutting on your meat. Well, he cutting on your balls. No, you not. You don't get put to sleep for the vasectomy.

[A]

No, you're not.

[C]

It's outpatient.

[B]

Yeah, I went right home. That lasted 15 minutes.

[C]

Was it sore?

[B]

Not at first, no. Then like I want to say, maybe the next day it just felt like I caught crabs. I caught a little. A little like a cramp on. Like a cramp.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But that's it. They gave you an ice pack, your whole ice pack on there if you feel any type of soreness. Take out Tylenol if you feel pain. But after that, I was fine.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

All right. That's it. That's all I got for you. I do have a part of the show for y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

I do have a part of the show for y'. All. Somebody. Somebody needs our help. This person's name is Corey Nomi. Oh, Corey, know him? Is here.

[B]

Oh, yeah. So it's ish man's name.

[A]

Yeah. This person says, am I a bad friend?

[B]

Probably usually start off right there. Yeah, probably.

[A]

Okay. During the pandemic, my mom's basement was the hangout spot. Sure. She had her own bar and we could go there. And we would go there every weekend with friends to party during Troubling times.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I invited my friend from the streets over. He says that that's important. Later we put time in on the streets together so we locked in. I had a bottle of Henny White from a plug. Who delivered alcohol to you on the spot with. With everything shut down at the time. That was a good boy. That was a good time. We were drinking and telling old war stories. The usual he then shared with me. He's been screwing my best friend's. My best friend that I knew since elementary school. Baby mom slash girlfriend. He was drunk while sharing that, but I wasn't. I remembered days went by and I've been on the phone with my best friend daily like usual. Been around him and his kids and even her as usual to the point I had to stop because I felt fake holding this information and still calling him my brother. One day he called me and I came clean and explained why I've been avoiding him and that I was told information that I didn't ask for about his BM cheating on him with a friend of mine who's an associate of his as well. Long story short, he ended up breaking up with her. She hates me for break for breaking up her family. And my street friend at the time wanted to fight me which got resolved with the quickness. Lol. I see what you did there. I see what you're saying with the resolve. With the quickness. But me and my best friend's relationship hasn't been the same. I feel like I did him a solid. I showed my loyalty to him in that situation enough to go against my quote unquote quote street friend for him. I feel like we should be closer than we are now. We don't talk at all. Am I wrong? And should I have just minded my business to keep our relationship how it was?

[C]

Please.

[A]

Really good question.

[D]

That gets really tricky.

[C]

Please, please, guys. With my group of friends, we asked each other for the most part like my core group of girlfriends. Because what we figured out was some women almost feel like it's disloyal if you don't tell them, right? So in my friend group, I used to say exactly like this. I don't care if you see my nigga on Broad street with a dick in his mouth. Don't call me about that shit. I just don't want to hear that, you know what I mean? Like me personally, I feel like if it was meant for me to know would come across my desk. Like I feel like I've seen women almost like get an inkling that their Friends n is cheating and kind of investigate like, that's they nigga. You know what I mean? It's like, I don't need that from you. I'm not gonna be looking at yours, you know, so. But that's a very personal thing. I have a close friend that I know for a fact. Not only if I didn't tell her, would she be pissed. Like, she would hold that against me. Like, that would be a thing. It's like, coming up after. Because I was always very protective of my friends and all that. So when I was younger, that's something that I would do, and I never understood why it would backfire. Often you end up not this girlfriend no more. She stayed with him, and out of sheer embarrassment of what you know, that bitch will cut you off.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Or she'll tell him. And now Thanksgiving is so fucking weird. So it's like, me personally, I just think a rule of thumb is to mind your business unless you know that that's what they expect for you as a friend. Simple.

[B]

One thing you said. You said it's great advice. You don't. You don't want. You wouldn't want nobody to tell you, because if it's meant for you to know, you'll find out. It'll come across your desk. But what if them telling you is how you find out?

[C]

I don't care.

[B]

You still. You get what I'm saying?

[C]

That's the answer. I don't care.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

And. And homeboy's case. I don't think you're a bad friend. I think you did like you said. You showed your loyalty. I would want to know who, like what? I know this is your street friend, but how many years you got here? Like, how close are y' all versus.

[D]

Yeah, that's what's tricky. You're telling one friend on another friend.

[A]

Right.

[D]

That's tough. That's tough.

[B]

Like, where's your relationship lie? Who's your relationship stronger with? Cause that would be important to me.

[C]

Yeah. That's how you make the decision.

[D]

If one of my friends is fucking one of my other friends, baby moms, I'm staying the fuck out of it.

[C]

Period. It's too messy.

[D]

Yeah, it's too messy.

[B]

That shit could go another way. But then they find out, and you knew. And now I'm looking at you funny because you knew. You've been around. You've been in the crib. You've been around her and our kid. And you just smiled here. And you. You knew this was going on. I Can't call you my brother.

[A]

How are you gonna mind your. He was trying to mind his business until he went about his daily routine and felt like a phony ass dude.

[B]

But then distanced himself. And then even that. I feel bad I can't be around your girl and your kid and all of this, knowing what I know, so let me distance myself. And now that turned into a thing. Like, he tried every way to not have this blow up.

[A]

Mona hit it on the head. Unless you have know that your friend wants to know the general rule of thumb. And this is my business, but we.

[B]

Don'T as friends, sometimes sit around and have conversations in hypothetical terms. Like, yo, what you want to know? What's that? What's our rule? Yo, you see my shorty at the movies with Roscoe? You gonna tell? Like, we don't have that hypothetical conversation. So you would think that that's why I listen.

[A]

That's again, I say. Like I always say, it's important to know your friends facts. Yeah, bro, we don't have to have that talk. Yo, we don't have to have that talk. There's some friends I know are gonna wanna know that information immediately. Some not so much, you might drive them off a bridge. True.

[B]

So for the one that wants to know and you go tell, and now all of a sudden. Cause it really be a lot of shame and embarrassment that comes in. Yo, dawg, your chick was doing. And then you know the street, nigga. So the street might have gave you information like, yo, my we be. You know what I'm saying? And now you feel stupid. That is a shot to your manhood.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. It's just tough for us two people. You both with them. You with both of them. I'm staying with them.

[B]

If we ain't super fly, all right, I'm on my business. But if we. You my man, man. I'm right. Yeah, same.

[C]

I. I think that mental just as much as females do. Like, when I think about it, will tell they homie fast and girls might even like, foot around it or whatever. But a man is telling on you. Anytime I've ever been seen by one of my friends, I got told on. Like a look at you. Like, oh, word, you in the mall with this.

[B]

I'm calling from the mall.

[C]

Yeah, that's your dog.

[B]

And I think that's corny. That's her brother.

[A]

Why do you. Why do you think that's corny or weird?

[C]

Because I feel like he's not leaving. I've been cheating on this the whole time.

[B]

So why this not going nowhere?

[C]

Like, what are we doing?

[B]

Hold up. Once I tell, once I. Once I let the know the first time, and he keep stay with you, I'm out. I'm not telling no more. I'm out. And because now you just bring it, you bringing drama and problems to their household. You know what I'm saying? Like, yo, dog, if he gonna stay with the cheater, then I'mma let them rock and be happy in their glory. But you know what I'm saying, the initial time, I'm telling, yo, I'm in the movie. She here now. You want me bring the phone to her.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Like, what?

[B]

N. This is my man.

[C]

The easiest way to get a headbutt. You walk up to me. Oh, Tyrone want you. We ready wrestling this motherfucker now.

[B]

We about to fight.

[C]

Cause you think I'm picking this phone up and saying, hello, I'm gonna fuck you up. Bitch out there grabbing the yellow hoodie. We about to wrestle.

[B]

Yo, I remember I had something similar to that happen with. And the homie was like, yo, don't even say nothing to her until I'm around. Cause I wanted to lie. Like, I would love for her to lie and say xyz. Like, I saw it. I'm telling you what's going on. You just didn't know. And I appreciate that information. Of course. I couldn't wait. She telling the truth. Clipped it immediately. Oh, word. She fessed up. Yeah, she fessed up. She was like, yo, sure. Yeah, loser. Yeah, he telling the truth.

[A]

These girls. The girls are getting creative. I seen, I saw. Do y' all see the game that people playing on TikTok where it's four squares, it's eight squares, and you gotta.

[B]

Say, fog, frog, call.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

They make you say the word frog on beat or something, right? Frog, log.

[A]

Frog. Like, you gotta do it on beat. Yeah. I don't know how these people are customizing these things, because I never played the game, but this girl made a husband play it.

[B]

What? You got himself crazy. His side piece thing?

[A]

No, she. By the third screen. It was. I went in your phone. Oh, this is what I found. Like, it was. It was. Yeah, he turned around. It was.

[C]

It was girls getting creative, thinking each word that come out his mouth. Yeah. I don't know. I think that if you're in a situation and it works for you, I think we fuck up when we, like, compare. It's like you have a friend that's getting cheated on, but it's really. It works for them. Like it doesn't bother them, you know what I mean?

[A]

It's like it works for them. It works.

[B]

I'm telling you.

[C]

Some people had those kind of dynamics in his life where nobody know everything straight. Once niggas get to getting in it, or you get to taking other people opinions or comparing your relationship to their relationship, then shit go left. Like, I've been in situations where this know I'm cheating on him. He know what's going on, but he don't say nothing. Like we both delusional.

[B]
