Summary

The Joe Budden Podcast – Episode 902 | “The Value In Muting Up”

Date: February 11, 2026
Host: Joe Budden and The Joe Budden Network

---

Episode Overview

This episode dives into the crew’s thoughts and debates on Super Bowl weekend—breaking down both the lackluster game and Bad Bunny’s historic halftime show. The team also explores controversies around Super Bowl commercials (with an extended digression on Ring cameras and neighborhood surveillance), internet beefs (from Chris Brown’s cryptic posts to social media family drama), public “muting up” and knowing when not to say anything, and a slew of current events across sports, music, and culture. Alongside plentiful jokes and jabs, there’s introspection: the cast talks about boundaries and respect on the show, plus the power and pitfalls of sharing opinions online. The mood is vibrant and combative—a quintessential JBP episode, walking the line between humor, deep takes and group therapy among dudes.

Key Discussion Points

1. Super Bowl LVI: The Game, The Halftime Show, and ‘The Benito Bowl’

• The Game:
  • Universal consensus: The game was a snooze fest loaded with defense, with some hosts (Joe, Parks) not even watching the whole thing.
  • Discussion on whether the Patriots were “fool’s gold” and Seattle’s dominance.
  • Tension between rooting for team success vs. personal disappointment for players who didn’t play (Kenneth Walker v. Zach Charbonnet scenario).
    • Quote: “It’s also the first time I thought to myself, damn, what do they look like if Kenneth Walker get all the carries.” (Joe, 22:01)
• Bad Bunny Halftime Show:
  • Universally loved by the table—lauded as beautiful, inclusive, culturally rich.
  • The conversation centers on language barriers, Latino symbolism, and how Bad Bunny crafted a “community” on-stage.
    • Quote: “People are making a choice to say that the language is a barrier to enjoying this. If you want to like it, you can. It’s that simple.” (Mark, 27:55)
  • Breakdowns of subtle details: color symbolism in flags, real wedding on-stage, and the inclusion of diverse Latinx communities.
  • Heat for critics claiming "they didn’t get it":
    • “If you turn that on and seen all those beautiful people on that screen... and you didn’t enjoy yourself, you are devastatingly, uncompromisingly gay. Which is not a diss—except for the fact people that feel that way don’t like gay people either!” (Parks, 29:09)
  • Favorite moments: cameo breakdowns (Ricky Martin, Gaga, Cardi B), “God Bless America” with a pan-Latinx flag parade, and the fellas reflecting on the universality of music.
• Cultural Commentary:
  • Exposing racism in reactions to non-English performances, the centrality of Black and Latin cultures to American life, and nostalgia for block parties/music memories.

Tone & Language

The episodes moves at the classic JBP pace—fast, choppy, digressive, and very much NYC-in-the-barbershop energy. It’s a blend of playful antagonism ("we even tried to sneak a fight in"), affectionate ribbing, real debate, and unapologetic cultural critique.

---

Conclusion

Episode 902 is an extended, multi-tiered conversation about celebrating culture, checking racism and bias, knowing when to speak up or stay quiet, and the value of boundaries in both sports, music, and personal life. The cast debates (and jokes about) everything—from Super Bowl commercials to viral beefs, NBA fights, fan expectations, and social media etiquette—never losing sight of the humor in daily absurdities. Above all, the episode underscores “the value in muting up”—knowing when it’s best, in public or online, to let silence speak volumes.

---

For listeners:

This summary will get you up to speed on the crew’s spicy takes about the Super Bowl, halftime shows, cultural celebrations, and ongoing internet drama—without sitting through three hours of jokes, stories, and sidebars. If you’re here for the drama, introspection, or just the classic JBP humor, there’s something for every listener in this one.

Happy Black History Month! And shout out to the baddies, as always.

[B]

On.

[A]

Anyway, Elm's finest big parks is in the building. Parks, how you doing, man?

[D]

Feel great, man. Feel great.

[B]

Good seeing you, Paul.

[A]

Good. Absolutely love that. Po is here, Corey is here. Ericson is here. Tanner and Saon are here by remote. Last but certainly not least, each and every one of you beautiful people are out there listening. Salute. Salute.

[B]

Salute.

[A]

What up, what up, what up? What's popping?

[B]

Let's get straight to it, man. You ask us how we bowl Sunday.

[D]

Super Bowl Sunday happened.

[A]

Bad bunny. Come on, let's game.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

That game wasn't enough to talk about.

[A]

About.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Defensive battle.

[A]

Woo.

[B]

I know. I. I turned it on at halftime and I tried to watch, like, a.

[C]

Little bit of you watch football.

[B]

I watched the halftime show. This is a turn at halftime. Yeah. And I saw the score and I was like, damn, that looked like a snooze fest.

[D]

It was.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Unless you like defensive football, which, I.

[C]

Mean, was not bad.

[D]

It's not great for, like, non football people who make up the majority of your crowd. You. Your house party or whatever.

[A]

True.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So did you feel like. Did you come away feeling like the Patriots were fool's gold? Yes. Yes.

[D]

I felt like they were fool's gold going into it. Their defense is serious, though.

[C]

I don't think they were fool's gold. I just. I just think Seattle was just a complete team all the way around. Like we kept saying up here.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Patriots, one fool's goal.

[A]

They handled. They. They tossed Will Campbell around like he was the comerack. Yeah, they tossed him around with one arm sometimes.

[D]

Kamsa.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Not even a proper rag.

[A]

Yeah. Word.

[D]

I like the T shirt just over.

[A]

There that you didn't. Sometimes you just got to grab what's near. Yeah.

[C]

I think it's a rookie playing against all pro. Everybody's.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Looked like it.

[A]

Look. Yeah.

[B]

Paul, you feel like the.

[A]

The quarterback for the Patriots. Dropped the ball a little bit. Like he didn't play.

[D]

He's a second year player.

[B]

I don't know.

[D]

I didn't expect the most.

[C]

They dropped him on his head every time he dropped him.

[B]

When I watched it, I, I was, wasn't.

[D]

He was getting killed out there.

[A]

That's on him. It's on VOR. Coach of the Year. It's on Josh McDaniels. It's on all of them. In the third quarter of the game, I'm sitting there like, oh, a field goal kicker might win the. Like, I literally. That was the first time I ever thought something like that. Shout out to Kenneth Walker. Congratulations.

[C]

Crazy.

[A]

How do y' all feel if y' all are. Just some quick questions for you. How do you feel if y'. All. And I know all of y' all up here are extremely supportive. Bless you. Supportive, loyal, all of those good qualities and characteristics. If you're Zach Shabernay, how do you feel?

[D]

I mean, disappointed that you didn't play the game, but you're happy that your team would still get it, right?

[B]

What happened? Who's he?

[D]

He's the.

[C]

Was he hurt?

[D]

Yeah, he was hurt.

[B]

He was injured.

[C]

So Achilles, I think wasn't.

[A]

Okay, let me go further now. I hate when y' all look at me like I'm stupid. Zach. That Zach Shab was the starting running back for this team for Patriots, but they were. No, no, no, no. For the Seahawks all, all year long. And he's pretty good.

[D]

But they've been split.

[A]

Kenneth Walker, they've been splitting carries. And as Shabinet's injuries started to kick up, Kenneth Walker started to kick up. And for the final. You want to say the whole run, the whole 10 game win streak, mostly he's been. So now here we are in the super bowl and you got 130 yards on the ground. You got 40 yards in the. And he said he did the whole. Yo, I'm win Shabernay's number right here because this game is for us. We carried us, brother.

[D]

All that.

[A]

Yeah, all of that.

[C]

I'm just saying.

[B]

All that. I think that that's awesome.

[A]

But really, how you feel on the side watching this take your position in your career.

[C]

Yeah, but we won.

[A]

Yeah. That's also the first time I thought to myself, damn, what do they look like if Kenneth Walker get all this, all the carries.

[B]

I did.

[A]

I had that thought. Right, right. I mean, you gotta have that thought. You stupid. If you David Montgomery and you don't think that watching Jameer Gibbs like, this is just dumb.

[C]

Anyway, he asked for help.

[A]

Who? Oh, Montgomery.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I'm glad Najoku asked for out of Cleveland. I'm so happy about that, cuz. I really love Fanning. Fanon really carried me. I'm like, for real. Oh, yeah. I'm like, why is he splitting carries? Anyway, back to the game. All right. So y' all don't care if you're Zach Chab, you're supporting, you care about.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Right now I want this chip. After the chip, then I'll start caring.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You know. You know when it would bother me? It would bother me if I was healthy. If I'm him and I'm healthy and the nigga gets 68 snaps and you get nine. I'm tight. But now I got an excuse. Like, I physically wasn't able to contribute. So it don't. You know what I mean? It don't feel as heavy.

[A]

All right.

[C]

I mean, I look at it, it could go the other way. It could be like. I mean, a different position, but it could be like, when was that Bo Nix went down, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It could be a situation like that. At least we had somebody that we could still win the chip. Like, Bo. Nick's going down, y'. All season was done toast. So if I'm him, I'm looking at the brighter side of that. Hey, we won for now in the off season.

[A]

Yeah. Cause on top of that, Charlotte is beautiful. Like, North Carolina is a great place to be. Cause that's where he gonna be. He gonna about to be a Panther. Hey, if you didn't know, we trying to dance around it. Hey, get ready to be a buccaneer.

[D]

Both those teams have good running backs, so I don't think it's gonna be these.

[A]

Always injured.

[C]

He won't be always. I know what you're saying, though. Get ready to get up out of here.

[D]

He's gonna be somewhere.

[A]

Minnesota's nice.

[B]

Vikings.

[A]

Anyways. Anything else we need to get to about the game? I don't really care about this game.

[D]

Yeah, the game is the game.

[A]

Exactly what I thought it would be. Absolutely blowout. I felt bad for my girl. Who they from Boston. So they. She had a Pat's T shirt on with diamonds. All this. All this. And I'm like, yo, dog, it ain't about to. She had like, a big watch party, like 70 people over there, kids. And she decorated with all this Patriot.

[D]

Oh, we stuck to the bad money decorations. Honestly.

[B]

Benito Bowl.

[D]

Benito Bowl.

[B]

Let's get to it.

[D]

Let's get to it. Halftime show. The star of the show.

[A]

Take it away. I'm. I so in for. I'm isoing for my boy. The biggest Bad Bunny fan up here. Big parks.

[D]

I feel really bad for people that didn't find joy and happiness in that. I want to start with that. Like, all this hoopla and to do, they made out of this. That shit was beautiful. It was cultural. It was fun. It was inclusive. The music was dope. My party, my. My party was a dance party at that point. So if you're sitting at home with a straight face, tight in the face, I feel bad for you.

[B]

Haters. Yeah, haters.

[D]

And, you know, I. I guess I can see how you would feel left out if you don't speak Spanish. But I also. It's like, you don't try. You don't try to understand some of this.

[B]

I think people be making excuses, man.

[A]

And I. Oh, I'm sorry, Mark. I don't feel bad for those people, because storyboards, like, if I had people speak to me that said I didn't understand one word that he said, and I completely got this entire story from front to back. If you're trying to pay attention. The same thing I kind of said about Kendrick last year. Like, I wasn't blown away by his music choice, but the story that he told, I felt like, was an important one. And this Bad Bunny story, especially the afterward breakdowns of all the things that I maybe even missed in real time.

[D]

But tons of symbolism, but a lot.

[A]

Of it, I didn't. I'm from New York. Yeah.

[D]

Word.

[A]

New Jersey. You people that don't ain't from up here. Oh, I could walk to New York. Shut up. Right? I could ride a bike to fucking. I could power walk over there.

[B]

Anyway, he used to ride his bike and walk back. Yeah. Go ahead, finish.

[C]

Donated a lot of bikes to the Bronx.

[A]

Oh, I get it now. I see what y'. All. Oh, I see it. All right. All right.

[C]

Let me show you how to Willie real quick.

[B]

I'll be right back. It's cool.

[A]

Y' all think was just taking my bike sleep.

[B]

Power walking?

[C]

Yeah, your brake's a little tight.

[A]

Stole my bike when I ain't know how to park or punch. Oh, yo, they on your ass. They gonna line them up. They go your ass. Line them up.

[B]

Don't worry about it. It's cool, bro.

[A]

I got him. Where was I in this store?

[B]

Symbolism.

[A]

Oh, yeah, the symbolism. I just think it was really easy to understand if you sat there and tried. And again, like I said earlier in this Part. Some of y' all don't have speakers up hooked up to your shit. Some of y' all TVs tiny with the dad sound coming out. Like I immediately. If you just turn it up. If all you had to do is.

[D]

Hit volume or all the way up, max up.

[A]

That's it. Max out the volume. Sit back, catch a vibe.

[C]

Mark, you were saying.

[B]

No, it's just. I mean, to what you were saying, what you're saying. First of all, it was a whole performance. It wasn't just about the words. And it was beautiful and it was compelling and we love music. But I feel like we let people off the hook or they be bullshitting, you know what I'm saying? Like, a whole bunch of middle class people go to the opera, they don't speak Italian and they be loving the shit out of it. You know what I mean? A whole bunch of drunk white people do the Macarena and be singing all that shit in the middle of the night. They don't know what the fuck is going on in Macarena. People are making a choice to say that the language is a barrier to enjoying this. If you want to like it, you can. It's that simple.

[C]

And I think. I just think that music is universal.

[D]

Agreed.

[C]

Like, I don't care.

[A]

Yeah. I think music is a language. Music is a language.

[C]

When I see the little kids in the African countries and they be doing the dances and shit, bro, that shit stops you in your tracks. Like when I hear Afrobeats or anything, I don't gotta. The music itself comes alive and I.

[A]

Should do something want to hire like, stops you in your tracks.

[C]

I got more, I got more, I got more.

[B]

No, I.

[C]

That's. So that's the. That I think is. It's like, yo, dog, dog. Again, whether you understand what he's saying, you can't deny the fact that when you cut some of that on in them snares start kicking and the bass start kicking, it moves you or do something.

[B]

You had no choice but to look at the message though, right? Like, if you don't. I didn't. Listen to me. I didn't understand what he was saying.

[A]

But I had a choice. But it was ass out there.

[B]

No, no, what I'm saying is that I didn't understand what he was saying.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm sorry to cut you flip briefly.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

If you turn that on and seeing all those beautiful people on that screen.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

And you didn't enjoy yourself. You are devastatingly, uncompromisingly Gay. Which is not a diss, except for the fact that people that feel that way don't like gay people either. So, like, how do you look at that and be like, this is horrible. This is anti anything.

[C]

He has some jokes.

[A]

That's my thing. There's some people that connect with just cultural. And then I guess there's just people that don't. I had that thought that you had watching. Yeah. Let's pretend you hate Bad Bunny. All that Latin ass.

[C]

Get out there, start shaking around.

[A]

Hey, white people. Y' all like Latin ass like me.

[C]

Push mute.

[A]

Y' all like Latin ass like us.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Them niggas went in wanting to not like it. That's what it was. Their mind was made up beautiful up there. Yes.

[A]

They were shaking ass. Also, the. We parents, the kids sleep on the makeshift chairs. Yo, I get it. That that's a cultural thing for them.

[D]

But it applies to all cultures. I remember being a kid at my parents parties go through that same feeling.

[A]

Yes. Yes. How do you not see that and be like. Feel like. Not feel a connection? The fucking dancing on top of the bodega. Yeah. Him having tonita come from Williamsburg. That was fly, right? Me and my stupid ass. I. I didn't realize the. The. The light blue in the flag.

[D]

Yeah, I didn't know that either.

[A]

I didn't. I didn't know.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I didn't know that.

[D]

The light blue is Puerto Rican independence. And it was once like you would get arrested or killed for having that. For having that. As opposed to the dark blue, which is. Symbolizes the American colonial nature.

[C]

Everything in that was symbolic. The. The. The. The electrical poles, the crazy shit. One of the Republican chicks was like, yo, what you need to be talking about is the lack of electricity. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[D]

And it was like, you missed the point.

[C]

That's what he was basically doing.

[B]

You.

[C]

They infrastructure so up that they be going without lights for months.

[B]

I heard.

[C]

You know what I'm saying? In America. And you're an American colony, right? And y' all still don't have electricity. That shit is by design.

[D]

Yes.

[C]

And what was dope. This got me a little emotional. I didn't know the little boy at the very end that he gave the Grammy.

[A]

It wasn't.

[C]

It was not.

[A]

My mom said the same.

[D]

That was a rumor.

[B]

That was close.

[C]

That me up. I was about to be like, yo, that's gangster and that's racist.

[A]

Because all of the kids don't look the same. He looks different. It doesn't even look like.

[C]

No, they have A split screen with the kid. He looks like they had a split screen with the kid. He looked like him. I was about to be like, yo, that's gangster. That Even if he put that much thought to go get that boy. That would have been amazing.

[D]

I think the sentiment kind of was still the same.

[C]

Of like, bro, my dreams came alive. Whatever the case may be, like, it's.

[A]

Important to see representation. It's important. It's important to. For that kid in that family, on that land to look at the TV and see him win that Grammy and have that acceptance speaker. Yeah, that's important. The wedding.

[D]

That was amazing. Which was apparently a real wedding.

[B]

Real wedding.

[C]

Was a real wedding.

[A]

Damn.

[D]

We should invite a bad buddy to our wedding. We up.

[B]

Oh, that have been perfect.

[D]

Could have been us.

[A]

Oh, don't do that. I was just about to call them. I was about to congratulate them and call them groupies.

[D]

Hey, congratulations. That's some fly groupy.

[C]

Joe is out of his.

[B]

That's groupy. And you get a free wedding.

[A]

That's groupy.

[C]

Please tell how that's fly.

[B]

Shit.

[D]

Amazingly fly wedding.

[C]

I wanna hear this.

[A]

It's a 45 second wedding at the.

[B]

Super bowl with Bad Bunny doing the music.

[C]

The most watched event.

[A]

Pardon me. When I get married, I want the day to be about me and my wife.

[D]

I feel you.

[A]

I don't want it to be a sideshow of someone else.

[B]

I feel you.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

I generally feel like that.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

But there's one exception and that's the super bowl and Bad Bonnie.

[C]

Yeah, that's bad bonnie.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

13 minutes of great get the fuck out my face.

[A]

Would y' all get married at like a regular football game?

[B]

No, no, no.

[A]

A basketball game?

[B]

No.

[A]

So just a performance at the super.

[B]

Bowl with Bad Bonnie?

[D]

Yeah, specifically.

[B]

Not Coldplay, not Beru5, not even Usher, not even Bruno.

[A]

And I think it's fly the way they originally planned, like to invite him for you to have a wedding. And you look to the back and Bad Bunny walked in your wedding dog. That's it. And he's an absolute sweetheart. Like, anytime my dad's wife, Jackie sees him at the game, like they speak and kick it and like he's friendly.

[C]

He seemed like he a genuine dude. And him. Those are the people that you kind of root for in life for sure. You know what I'm saying?

[A]

Him out there in the Zara fit.

[D]

Yeah, that's flat too.

[A]

The Zara football jersey with the shoulder pad, but just that earthy. Not stand out, not bring attention to me. This is about us and the story and the community and just everything that went into every detail of this thing. I'm blown away by that right now. The super bowl halftime show, for me, I'd be more blown away by the story you're telling.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

And whoever is doing the design of.

[D]

The stage, we got a shout out to production. That's your. That was incredible.

[A]

And this goes back to the west coast tribute. I loved that.

[C]

I loved it.

[A]

Rihanna stage, Usher stage.

[D]

Kendrick, obviously.

[A]

Yeah. Kendrick legend. I love. It's a sight to see.

[B]

I thought two of my favorite ones have been the last two. All of them are beautiful and amazing, but in terms of the power of the message, I thought what Kendrick did last year, in terms of the set, the story he was telling was great. I thought what he did this year, Baboni, was great. I loved the subtlety of it. Like, you mentioned, like, the power lines and stuff like that. Like, he gave a hard message, but it was in a way that didn't, like, make the story a distraction. So everybody's not on news the next day. I mean, they're complaining, but they're not like. And he mentioned slavery, but, like, when you see sugarcane, sugar cane everywhere.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You can't talk about that without talking about slavery and the fact that he had diversity of the different types of Puerto Ricans that were up there as opposed to just, you know, white Latinas was beautiful. Important, especially if you tell the story about. About. About slavery. So I just. I just thought the way he did it was so subtle. It was very much the same standard that Kendrick kept last year. It was just like, high level of art. Beautiful, but with a powerful message. I just. I. I can't praise it enough, man. I just thought it was perfect and it sounded good.

[A]

It sounded good.

[C]

It sounded great.

[B]

Yeah. That's the other thing. The music was good. What did y' all think about the. The guest appearance? Because we were guessing who was gonna be there.

[C]

I ain't gonna hold you.

[A]

It was cool. She.

[D]

It was cool. I just was way out of place. Like, I feel like they're to my.

[B]

Lady Gaga.

[D]

Yeah, Gaga. I mean, she did great.

[C]

Oh, I forgot she was there. I was talking about Cardi.

[A]

Yo, that Cardi. I understand people saying that Lady Gaga may have been out of place. I think that that also added to not only the show, but the symbolism point that we keep making over and over again after the fact. I learned that the lyrics that he says right before she comes out in Spanish is like, is this what you want Is this what you want? Almost like the old DJ on point tag. So out comes this white pop star wearing the same light blue from the flag.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

Putting her American hit over their music rather than the reverse is what we all see. I didn't know that. That's heat and that is stunning to me.

[B]

Subversive again. Subversive again.

[A]

Telling. Just telling the story. Is this what you want? And how she was. And just the dress that she had on apparently was designed from some really famous Latin designer.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

I don't know what they said. Everybody shit was every.

[A]

Everything. Well, yeah, but I'm sure.

[C]

Except him.

[A]

Well, again, his bizarre.

[C]

Yeah, they broke everybody down. Ricky Martin, all of them. They broke down the designers.

[D]

Yo, Ricky Martin embodied that shit too. He sounded great, looked great. He looked like he was about 32 years old up there.

[C]

Yeah, he looked great.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I would have loved to have seen an old school Puerto Rican artist like, you know what I mean? Maybe in the Gaga slot. But I understand why they did it. The Gaga thing made sense for all the reasons politically, message wise, all the things I would have loved to see an old schooler, but other than that.

[A]

That I thought I got 12 to 13 minutes and I just gave 90 seconds to Gaga. Yeah, sorry, sorry, Biggie Smalls. I got a story to tell.

[C]

No. Or if he had just had an older dude on one of the guitars or something.

[B]

Yeah, something like. You know.

[C]

You know what I mean? Like that.

[A]

My man, when he. When they did the shot of the celebrities that he had over there. Jessica Alba.

[D]

Jessica was up there.

[A]

Jessica Alba. I saw you. But there was a plus one over there that I saw that.

[D]

Oh, the, the. The girl used to date Braxton Baros. Alex. The white girl.

[A]

She was a white girl. White girl, beige, kind of see through.

[D]

That's the girl that Tom Brady's allegedly dating.

[A]

Salute. Salute.

[D]

That makes sense if we're talking about the same person, which I think, I think there's only one white girl up there.

[A]

Only one of them made me the same move. Jessica Alba. Jessica Alba, you are now in the way. See how funny these is? Look how, look at how that works. Look at how fast it took three seconds to say, all right, move. Who is this goddess? Pablo Pasc, my man. What's my.

[D]

Yeah, Pablo Pascal.

[A]

Pascal. Yes, yes, yes. He was over there. That's not cool enough.

[D]

Yeah, that's old school. A little bit.

[B]

It's a little old school. I. I think I wanted dirt. I think I wanted that in the Gaga slot.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Because it's such a Prom. It's such a prominent slot that to platform a major Latina and particularly Puerto Rican. But I'm not mad at it. I just. This is what I was kind of expecting and kind of hoping. But I ain't mad at that. I think the mess Ricky Martin spit. What happened to Hawaii? You know. Yeah, that was dope and shit like that.

[D]

That's an amazing song by the way.

[B]

You talk about. They're talking about what America did to Hawaii.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Colonization of Asia. So I thought that was tropical island essentially. I don't want this to become Hawaii's.

[A]

That was fire.

[C]

Basically.

[B]

When I found that out after that was fire, I was impressed.

[A]

Ricky Martin looks great. Yeah, he did. Ricky Martin looks great. Later I learned he's the same age as Kid Rock that did a side by side. Boy, that.

[D]

Oh shit.

[A]

Boy, that was funny. That Latin don't crash.

[B]

No, no racism age you man look like.

[A]

That's what I'm saying. The racist don't look like they be having a blast.

[D]

You imagine be like, I don't want to watch this and then turn on Kid Rock as your alternative.

[B]

Did y' all watch that? No, no, Mark, I. I did.

[D]

Why?

[B]

I mean not live. I watched it later.

[C]

I watched the.

[B]

I had to just see it. And I was ended up debating Pierce Morgan about it. Morgan about it. But yeah, it was all. It was everything you think think it would be. It was bad music lip syncing. The track was behind the pro life messages randomly like. Like it was like adoption like. Like commercials in the middle of the performance. It was weird and it was. It was everything you think it would be. Yep, it was. It was every bit as bad as this other thing was good. And of course daddy, not Daddy Yankee Bad bunny broke the record that was set last year.

[A]

Yes, it is.

[B]

You know, for. For most view most views.

[A]

135. My shit crashed.

[B]

Crashed right to start.

[D]

I was tight. It was great. It was pressure in the household because I was turning up the speakers and my crashed. I'm like, oh. So we got in right when he came out. Thank God.

[B]

Well, that Kid rock concert got three, four million. Three to four million. So just to give y' all comparison. 130. 135 then one. Yeah. Three.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So it wasn't the event that people want to make it sound like now.

[C]

They'Re reporting them numbers might not be accurate.

[B]

They probably not.

[C]

It's really been around a million.

[B]

They count streams, but they count votes. You know what I'm saying? It was probably like really like one. You Know what I mean? But it was great. And lastly, I love the moment. This is what had the, the conservatives pissed off at least yesterday when I was debating all of them. The God bless America moment where.

[C]

How could you be mad?

[D]

Any of the messaging.

[A]

Well, because that's the part where as a racist, you just gotta feel like a dick.

[B]

I know why they're mad, but the reason they're mad is the reason why they're the problem. When he said God bless America, he then brought out every flag from around Latin America. When here we say America, we mean the United States of America and most of the world. When you say America, they mean, I mean the Americas, you know, so it's all throughout the Western hemisphere. So he was saying like, America, you're not the center of the world. We gonna say God bless America and then bring out Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, all the way around. Every single one. And he didn't put the US Last.

[A]

No, he started with it.

[B]

Right, exactly. So it was perfect. And that's why they were pissed off.

[C]

Canadians, Canada.

[B]

Right, right. Everything in America. Right. We ain't the only America. So I just thought that was a beautiful way to punctuate it.

[D]

And again, you know, even though it was all submerged, some subliminal messaging and all this, it never felt like that it was fun. It was a party.

[C]

It was all positivity, you know what I'm saying?

[D]

It was all positivity. It was love, it was anti hatred, like.

[B]

And he picked the right songs.

[A]

He did.

[B]

He picked the right songs. He picked just about every song I would have wanted to hear. No, that's what I used to go like.

[C]

No, I'm just saying I don't know the song.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

There was no right or wrong. They just sounded good. Good.

[B]

And that's all that matters.

[C]

Yeah, I don't, I don't know what's.

[A]

Like they had the, the Icy machine. Like some of this, some of this.

[C]

How do you sit there with the.

[D]

With the tight face and the businesses were valid businesses. Was walking down the, the strip. It was all valid businesses in LA, NY and Puerto Rico. Like, that's fire.

[A]

He had a nail salon, Like a nail salon in there.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Like that's.

[C]

You know what?

[A]

That's fire.

[C]

Some of that shit resonated with us more. Cause we really identify like we see the Icy motherfuckers.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I'm saying?

[C]

So if you live in Iowa, you don't know what the fuck that is, you know what I'm saying? Like they don't Know what that is? Maybe. Or the bodega scenes or some of that shit. It might not identify with them, but for us, that shit was like, oh, that was. I was 17 in the span, man.

[B]

I got 19 of dances, you know?

[A]

I mean, yes, all of that resonated with me, but. But it's also just in me. I'm not putting this. Just.

[C]

This is cool.

[A]

The ice leaves. I was sitting there, I damn near shed a tear. But the point I'm making is it resonated because how could it not, right, if it's in you?

[B]

Right?

[A]

Right. Like, well, when they had his crew, his crew of. Come on, man. Everybody's that seen the Latin crew of niggas.

[B]

That's.

[A]

That's gonna stab you for their man, and they gonna ride. You got to deal with these niggas.

[C]

And they all got a blade.

[A]

You respect them, yo. You love that the way that they love each other. And when they with you, they saved my life a few nights.

[D]

It's also. It's in a lot more of us as Americans, regardless of where you live, than you think. Like, when I was in Europe for a month with premiering them on tour. You go spend a long time away from here, you will realize how much Latin culture impacts you without even noticing it. Like, the food, the music, the people. We're not America without it.

[C]

Yeah. I was getting ready to say I got into an argument with some older family members who I had. I'm like, yo, are y' all maga? And I just. I'm finding this out or some shit. What the fuck is going on?

[B]

On.

[C]

They was hot.

[B]

Literally.

[C]

Yo, this is America. Speak English. I said, yo, excuse me. Like, y' all from here. Like, you know, you being. You go to the bodega. What do you. What do you.

[A]

Where you was at, King.

[C]

Not doing it.

[B]

No, stop.

[D]

I also remember one of the first things we learned in American history is the pint of the Santa Maria. Like, what the.

[C]

But I'm. Damn. They're giving a history lesson. Like, yeah, they stole this. What are you talking about? This Speak English. English is from England.

[B]

They. Somebody speak English.

[C]

America.

[B]

English is not America's official language. America don't have an official exactly at all, bro.

[C]

That shit was frustrating because I'm like, how do you watch this? Especially where we. Where we from? I'm sorry. I get the rest of the country, but we're right here.

[A]

I agree with friends.

[B]

And again, it's disingenuous, man. When Sean Paul pops up, they don't know what the Fuck. He's saying either. And they're fine with it. When mumble rappers rap, half the time we don't know what the fuck they say. We don't give shit a. Like, stop. We got to stop acting perfectly fine.

[D]

English speaking, not mumble rappers. Sometimes we don't understand the messaging. And you got to dig deeper and look at the lyrics and under, like, do some comprehending.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Like, I don't believe they hate the. I just. I'm. I'm with you. It's Cap.

[C]

I think so.

[D]

I think so too.

[A]

They raising y' all kids. What the are you talking about? If you. They raising your whole family.

[C]

That's the point.

[A]

You hate them. Nice. Please.

[C]

They looking at him.

[A]

That.

[C]

That's. That's what you good for. That's it, man.

[A]

You take.

[C]

You're beneath me. You can do this. But that's it.

[A]

You take all Latin culture out of here. I might bounce to you.

[D]

Take the facts quick.

[A]

Rice and peas, man. I'm out.

[B]

Oh, you gone.

[A]

I'm out. What'd you say? I didn't hear you.

[C]

So you going?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

One way.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Not coming back.

[A]

Not. Yeah, And I'll never see you again. I'm not coming to Portugal. All them little white lands you like to go through. That'll be the end of our little white. He the king of them little white lands. Yeah. I'm building in Ireland.

[C]

Hey.

[A]

Meet up. I built the castle. Yeah. Everybody ask him all that over there.

[D]

Anyways, that shit was fantastic, man.

[C]

It was on to what wasn't fantastic.

[A]

I'm just trying to make sure that we get to everything here because it was loaded.

[D]

It was. I would also encourage people to go look up some of these songs. Dtmf, the Hawaii Records. There's. Go look at the lyrics and look at the translation. You will be blown the fuck away.

[C]

What's the new wave of York record? My daughter just walk over to Alexa and be like, alexa, play new wave a New York. I swear to God, yo, like, so it's a bop.

[D]

I don't blame her.

[C]

Nah, that shit is transcendent. Age groups like, that shit is just different. Good music is just good music, my nigga. Universal.

[B]

Yeah, for real, man. What's not universal in time is commercials. Some things just didn't hit.

[D]

It might be a dub for the super bowl commercial.

[C]

Bro, that shit is terrible.

[D]

Now it's been a couple years of just stinkers.

[C]

I don't know if the budget's still there.

[B]

Like, I saw the Dunkin Donuts one, and it was Just weird.

[D]

That might have been the best one.

[C]

That was the best commercial.

[B]

Was it okay? Because I saw it and I saw your boy Jaleel and I saw who else was on there. It was like all these people, but it was like them as young as Ben Affleck.

[A]

Who's Jaleel?

[B]

Jalil White. Urkel.

[A]

Steve Urkel. That ain't my man.

[C]

Don't even do something I know.

[A]

Like, oh, that should do.

[B]

Last year we was. He was joking because you, you. He was getting on your nerves. And I told you I don't with him. Yeah, me either. That's why I said, yo, Urkel.

[A]

Hell no. Nah, not at all.

[B]

Nah. Nah.

[C]

But that might have been the best commercial I had. The Instacart one was my favorite.

[B]

What was that one?

[C]

It was like a old stage, some shit. I meant falling all over the place. I'm describing it bad, but it was funny, bro.

[D]

I thought William Shatner as Will Shat selling fiber was.

[B]

I saw that.

[A]

Pretty funny.

[B]

That was funny. That was funny. That was funny. Will Shat's enough. The one that me up though was. And I saw afterward I saw it cuz it was going around the Internet. The Ring one.

[C]

Yep.

[B]

Did y' all see this commercial?

[A]

No.

[C]

Yeah, you seen it.

[D]

Pets are family. But every year 10 million go missing. And the way we look for them.

[B]

Hasn'T changed in years. Until now.

[D]

One post of a dog's photo in the Ring app starts. Outdoor cameras looking for a match. Search party from Ring uses AI to help families find lost dogs. Since launch, more than a dog a day has been reunited with their family. Be a hero in your neighborhood with search party available to everyone for free right now. Join the [e-mail]. hey, they're glamorizing surveillance.

[C]

Holy shit.

[B]

Ring is on to you.

[C]

If you want to touch the hearts of someone whites, bring them dogs in.

[B]

But you know goddamn about dogs at all. Search. We're going to you post a picture of. We're going to put out a search party and we're going to track down this dog. Yeah, I know dogs.

[C]

Using everybody's cameras.

[B]

Yeah, right, Exactly.

[A]

Is dogs.

[B]

Exactly. Crazy search party. Okay.

[C]

It's Minority Report. Literally.

[A]

That shit is.

[C]

Shit is insane, fam. You, you basically taking every Ring camera in every house in America, turning that into your own personal surveillance machine. Machine. Yeah, yeah. Come on, dog. Right in front of your face in plain sight.

[D]

Put some little happy sad music behind it.

[A]

That's it.

[B]

All you gotta do is say dogs is missing. Just mention dogs.

[C]

White people out there. How many signatures do you need? Yo, this is nuts. It's scary to me.

[D]

Yeah, it's disgusting.

[C]

Straight scary.

[A]

That's how you know racist is like. I thought about that this morning. Like, y' all take the new tech and just be racist.

[C]

That's what it was.

[A]

They're saying like world changing shit and just finding ways to be racist with it. Yep. That's.

[C]

Or to use it for some evil shit.

[A]

And on top of that, I've had the pleasure of reading. Cause I got a lot of friends and they in them little community chats from. You know, it's a community or cul de sac or just a neighborhood group chat to protect each other and keep each other safe. I see how y' all talk in there.

[C]

I do too, bro.

[B]

They be so racist.

[A]

They racist as hell in every day. Yes.

[B]

So we put ring cameras in my mother in law's apartment, you know, just to keep track in case something happens.

[C]

Sure.

[B]

She's since moved out of that place, but I never turned off the ring. So like every day, like, I get the updates and it'd be like so and so came to my porch and they post like the picture of somebody who stole their package or the person who was looking suspicious or on the block. You'll be shocked to know it's always a black person. And they don't even. Like you said, they don't even pretend to not be racist. Cause it's like a little group chat so they don't have to use the code. The liberal code word.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

They be like, there's a black guy who's stealing shit, find him suspicious.

[A]

Suspicious looking.

[C]

No, suspicious.

[A]

And that's.

[C]

Bro, we get this shit and it just be like, suspicious black dude walking around the development, he ain't even doing shit.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

And they post him in there.

[A]

I mean, or if you in the neighborhood with black kids and your kids get too close to somebody else property and it just gets. It's bad, bro. It's bad. It is. So y' all the last people that need this new word.

[C]

Oh, man.

[A]

Right?

[C]

They gonna be sitting on that shit all night long.

[A]

Cause the.

[C]

The updates from ring alone be annoying as, bro. They go off all day long.

[D]

I don't have rings, so.

[C]

Oh, yeah, man.

[B]

Did y' all ever report anybody?

[A]

No.

[B]

No, never.

[C]

No.

[A]

No.

[C]

Go ahead and tell on yourself.

[B]

No, I don't. I don't do that. I don't believe in snitching, but yeah.

[C]

I ain't with that.

[B]

I'd be thinking it.

[A]

It's A couple people I. I jumped in that chat.

[B]

It's a couple people that linger a little too long on the block. I know you don't live here. Nobody here has a Ford Escort. What the are you doing on my block? You know. But I don't call nobody. I just be. Keep my eye out.

[A]

I jumped in that chat one time when there was somebody going from driveway to driveway.

[B]

Oh, God damn.

[A]

Yeah, so I went in there to say, hey y', all, somebody is running around trying to open your doors.

[B]

Yeah, see, other than that, See, that's being a good neighbor.

[C]

Yeah, I think so.

[B]

Yeah. But if a black people.

[C]

You can leave your laptop in your car that got your personal shit in it. So to alert all the neighbors like yo, lock y' all doors is one thing, right. But if you see it just a brown skinned walking around, he looks suspicious. Why car.

[A]

But I do also now because I mean we from where we from, stupid. If your laptop is in the car.

[D]

You shouldn't have your laptop.

[A]

We coming to get you. Lord, that bag. Look, let's not be naive now.

[C]

Oh, I know that the lap being.

[A]

There the camera carb can stole. Yeah. All I have was my purse, my.

[C]

Bag and my valuables right on my. Yeah, and the console.

[A]

Yeah, we know.

[C]

Yeah, we came and got that box.

[A]

Of sneakers in the back seat to get it done.

[C]

That's what I told Mark about that airport. I'm like you fishbowling and leaving shopping bags.

[B]

But that was new at the airport. I deserve that in my driveway.

[A]

That's where you at.

[B]

You know, now they run up in people cribs.

[A]

You don't.

[D]

Shouldn't leave your in your car regardless of where you.

[B]

I forgot to lock the door.

[C]

No, no, it was on me.

[B]

That's. It was my fault. But I just, I don't expect that at the crib. I'm getting too comfortable. That's what I'm saying. But now they running up in people cribs. They opening the door. They're taking the keys off of the. Because most people hang their keys right at the door.

[A]

I've told the story. I got my car stolen like that.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

They stole my car out of my driveway.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

Really?

[B]

They went in your house and got it.

[C]

No, you could use the rep. You could signal box.

[A]

Yeah, they.

[B]

Oh, they took the keys. Oh, damn.

[A]

The key is in my house.

[B]

Oh, they did. Oh, right.

[C]

Because it's close enough.

[A]

It's close.

[C]

You can catch the signal.

[B]

I was talking about people. Just because people don't be locking their Doors just come in and take the key out the house.

[C]

That's what they doing in the white neighborhood. Yeah, they cuz your first thing when you walk in, in most people, you got either got the thing that you hang it or they got the little key table. You put the mail in your dumb, right?

[A]

Y' all always got to hang stuff. Yeah. Why don't y' all stop hanging Jesus.

[B]

All of these years later, we coming for hours.

[A]

Oh, but you ain't took my car out of my shit. Hey, and let me break some news to you people out there. Cause the ring said if you lose your dog, to put it in there. News flash. If you're a great dog owner, you won't lose your dog. He'll just come back. I'm not gonna lie to you.

[C]

That's a good one.

[A]

If you take care of your dog.

[D]

And lose him, he'll miss you.

[A]

Trust me. He'll come back.

[B]

He'll come back.

[A]

He gonna find his way, right?

[C]

Chicken and rice right there.

[A]

Now, unless he get dog napped. Because if you took great enough care of the dog, somebody will snatch him off the street. Cause it's a beautiful dog. That's when you gotta have the collar with your phone number and your famous name, Joe Budding. Call us right there.

[B]

That's all.

[C]

You can chip your dog.

[A]

You can chip your dog. Yeah, these dogs cost a lot. Now you better chip these motherfuckers.

[C]

That's what else so you know niggas used to do, go up there, steal a dog, post it, and get the reward. Yeah, get the reward.

[A]

You wanna air tag the dog too, huh? Hell, yeah.

[C]

N. That's.

[B]

Everybody get a ch.

[A]

Yo, when he like airtag, he like gambit with them. That boy.

[C]

Everybody.

[A]

Keep tracking some.

[B]

Why the dog in Brooklyn?

[C]

Right in my list.

[A]

Why the dog?

[B]

Why the dog in Brooklyn?

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Stupid.

[A]

Anyways, man, what was we talking about? The super bowl commercials. The game was ass bad. Bunny was great.

[D]

Coco Jones was great.

[A]

Coco Jones was absolutely great.

[D]

Charlie Puth wasn't bad either.

[A]

I wasn't mad at him.

[C]

He did Charlie Puth. Yeah.

[B]

I just.

[C]

I don't think he knew he was going out there for the super bowl, though.

[D]

Why you say that? The way he was dressed.

[A]

That's part of the swag. That's the swag.

[D]

This is boy.

[A]

And I really enjoyed Green Day.

[D]

Yeah, that was fire.

[A]

I really, really, really enjoyed Green Day. I did. And because it was such a lackluster game, I had all the time and attention to pay to my house guests. I really enjoyed my house guests.

[D]

Me too.

[B]

How many did you have?

[A]

A lot. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Okay. Right.

[C]

Oh, that's. That's cool.

[B]

That's a solid number.

[A]

It was nice and small and intimate, but it was my first time meeting Cory's.

[B]

Oh, I thought I saw you count two for Cory.

[A]

Yeah. Corey had a special lady with her.

[D]

Plus one.

[A]

Oh, shit.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

You let her watch the game? Yeah.

[A]

Cory had an.

[C]

A live one.

[B]

What you mean? Yo, what you mean? Don't tell me Corey lost his. What you mean?

[A]

I mean, she listens to the part, so I gotta choose my words carefully. But what I'll say to y' all is, you know, my girl's a live one. You know how we make all the jokes about my girl? Like, just all of them. This one, same need. The loved one got his hands full, and boy, a cuddle machine. Oh, what a cuddle machine. I can see that.

[C]

I was shocked.

[B]

He let him watch the game with him. You cuddling too much?

[A]

No. The whole night. I never seen people cuddle. Watching people cuddle through a blowout football game is some of the worst shit you ever see in your life. You ever seen the new couple that won't stop cuddling? Sickening right to your stomach, like on a commercial. Like, let her go to the bathroom something. You sitting there, Huck. He would not let her go, and she wouldn't let him go.

[B]

What if you call us? You be calling us bitches. You was over there cuddling.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You was Eskimo kissing. And you cuddling in front of too. You're not even trying to hide it.

[A]

And that's what I was thinking when I was sitting there. Cause the game was a blowout. I didn't say nothing. Cause I was trying to be respectful. But in my head, I'm saying, is it still pda?

[D]

Yes, it's even worse.

[A]

That is pda, right? It might be worse.

[B]

That's worse.

[A]

We need new initials for that one. That's. That is worse than pda. Yeah. On the first meetup at the. At the. At the. In front of the.

[B]

The crew homie crib. Right?

[A]

And you just cuddling all over the cuddles.

[B]

Canoodling.

[A]

So now.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, he was. I never seen no like that. Now, because I'm a good guy. That's my man. I let it rock. I didn't say nothing. Keno, not so much. Oh, God. Kino, not so much. So every little bomb Kino threw over there. Oh, it worked. Every bomb he threw over there worked that's what. That's what I mean by he got a live one. Also, if you know Kino, I was going to try to keep your identity anonymous, but it now there's also just that one friend you watching the game with. That just gotta be an. Like, just gotta, like just purposely say something that is gonna offend the whole room. Ah, shit.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Or just start a divisive argument for absolutely nothing.

[D]

Let's get trash.

[C]

Yep, yep.

[B]

100%.

[A]

So Edith, is there another white woman in no Spanish? Edith Fred is there. She look a little Latin to me. Ned is there. There Latin. Rachel was there. Nat best friend. She loved Latino and a bunch of black. What? What? Keno said we got Bad Bunny all the way up. People are dancing, eating, loving each other. And soon as it's over, he just had to. That shit is horrible. Had to rain on everybody for radio.

[B]

Y' all like that?

[A]

Pissed on it.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

Keto. Y' all like that?

[B]

Amen.

[A]

English. All of the fucking right wing propaganda points coming from this black man sitting on my fucking couch. I'm like, yo, do you just have to be racist right now? Cause also, that's the thing. Some of y' all were just talking about halftime performance to you. You're not.

[D]

Yeah, you're not.

[C]

You're not.

[A]

Sometimes you give off information about yourself that you don't know is emitting from your pores.

[C]

I told you that. Conversa. Yes. Like, I'm. I'm looking at motherfuckers like, oh, you really got some of that shit in you.

[D]

Especially in today's America.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Like, shut the fuck up.

[C]

Where we at today? Like, come on. How you got a problem?

[A]

How could you watch the big billboard say, say, yo, man, the only thing stronger than hate is love. And immediately get to hating.

[B]

Like, I hated that.

[A]

That was absolutely horrendous. Like, this guy is a fool, yo.

[C]

That's crazy.

[A]

It's always one. It's one in every bunch. It's one.

[C]

It's one of them be on the elevator talking. Yeah, this is America. Speak English.

[D]

I had a good crowd, man. No, no one was on. No, thank God.

I will go to.

[B]

Oh, that didn't work out so well. The robot one didn't work out so well.

[D]

It didn't go great.

[B]

Shout out to Cardi. I love Cardi, B.

[A]

Too.

[B]

So it started with the drama with Cardi. Started when she was entering the game when they said, do you have any words of inspiration, inspiring message for Stefan before the game?

[C]

One inspired message, 10 left.

[D]

Oh, shit.

[A]

Damn.

[C]

No, you gotta see it, though.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That ain't even doing it justice.

[B]

It look worse than every nigga.

[C]

Know what that good luck meant. And that look she gave your man.

[B]

Is in the Super Bowl.

[C]

Oh, shit.

[B]

You have access to the entire world to send him a message. And she said, good luck. Good luck.

[C]

She looked good luck, right?

[B]

Oh, I saw that. And I was like, either they. I didn't necessarily think they was breaking up.

[D]

It could just be a regular fight.

[B]

It could be just a really bad fight.

[A]

All right, all right.

[D]

Party strikes me as a type thing. If they're having a fight, it's about to be.

[A]

Y' all are spilling tea all over the floor.

[B]

Okay, go ahead.

[A]

Shut up. This is what I'm saying. Cause I. I do want to hear what y' all think. We're just rolling with the proposed tea, which is. He expressed to her he would like his child to come to the game, Right? Says that the child is coming to the game with his mother. Cool. Carty says, cool. Allegedly. All. Allegedly. All. Allegedly. Before the game, the kid's mom.

[C]

Calls.

[A]

And says, on second thought, I want to bring my child to the game. To which he now buys a separate ticket for her so she's away from family and friends.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

So she gets there immediately post. I'm at the game now. This shit is all over the.

[C]

But it was the practice field.

[A]

She.

[C]

She had like a field something. Because it was like she got down to the field and Only way to do that is directly with some credentials from.

[A]

Well, if your baby mom is at the game.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm just saying. I'm just adding. So for those who don't know, odds are. Of course.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So it gets a little tricky. On top of that, apparently his. Stephan's best friend, which we'll leave names out, is. Is Offset's old mistress. Oh, y' all got who she was, right? Who she was pregnant by? Offset. Allegedly.

[C]

Allegedly. Yeah.

[A]

This just sounds like I ain't hit a pregnant.

[B]

Y' all got the whole bunch of words.

[C]

I think they was the guy together.

[A]

So his. No, she was pregnant and then.

[C]

No, I'm talking about the two chicks. I heard they was together.

[A]

Which two chicks?

[C]

Offset old work and Stefan's old work.

[A]

I can't speak to the proximity of who was what. Sound like he had a lot going on while my superstar wife is here also. So hearing all of that, Whose side are y' all on? I'm on hers.

[C]

I see both sides, but I'm gonna rock with her.

[B]

Yeah. I'm gonna stay with Cardi.

[C]

I' rock with her, but I see both sides, but I'm gonna rock with her.

[B]

But that's. But that's what Corey just said. It's his game. It's the Super Bowl. I agree. To me, that's why you shouldn't have all this distraction.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I'm saying? Like, that's a lot of. To have to bring to you to the biggest day of your life.

[C]

But this always got a lot of distraction, though. You know this.

[B]

Yeah. And that's what. That's where.

[C]

So it's like the duck was quacking.

[B]

Yes. And got you.

[A]

I'm a husband.

[B]

I'm on her side. But she know how this nigga play. She knew how this nigga play. So you just took a chance doing that. Real talk. We don't wanna. I mean, I love her to death.

[A]

I wanna be pushed back to that. Yes. It's the super bowl and it's his game, but she was coming out regardless.

[B]

Oh, that's true.

[A]

She's working, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

So.

[A]

Yes. Can you not today have me in the blogs and just looking crazy dumb? Especially if we are together. I don't know if they were or not, but if we together, the baby mama you together with is supposed to have a few more perks than your other baby mama moms. So sorry that they.

[B]

Oh, right.

[A]

Sorry that they have to miss the special game.

[C]

Like, and us as men, dog, we tend to talk about how we change. You know what I mean? You could have been a me, right? And then you change at some point. So I think that. Yo, dawg, whatever he was doing once he got with Shorty, if he's professing his certain game to, like, she got up there and said the nigga was like, yo, let me heal you. Let me do all of this. Now you saying all of this, but if you carrying on with the same antics, she has a right to be tight. Cuz never did that before.

[B]

There was no way to see this coming.

[C]

What I'm. That's what I'm trying to say. He hasn't shown nothing that says he's changed. We don't know that. No, we do know that. When the paternity shits keep popping up every six weeks, I'm not that kind of saying. Counterpoint that he's still. Wow. A lot of that's even more true, bro. A lot of relationships. A lot of them relationships were pre her. And so if.

[B]

If I could do a little bit.

[C]

Bro, if you are saying, yo, dog, if you saying, yo, I'm a change human being and I'm trying to do right, you gotta now show this young lady that you trying to do some right. So if that is the case and you bring your baby mother, your other baby mother and all that distractions to the game, she has a right to be tight. Oh, she could be tight. That's what I'm saying. Or he could still be on bullshit.

[A]

He could be.

[C]

Which means she still got a right to be tight.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Oh, okay. But this is a song and dance. If I'm constantly on bullshit, you keep getting tight and then we keep work whatever we.

[B]

That's the accountability issue.

[A]

No.

[C]

The question Joe asked was, yo, what side are y' all on in the argument? And I'm saying I'm on her side.

[B]

Me too.

[C]

Even though I see how some of this stuff can happen, if you telling me X, Y, and Z every fucking day and then you showing me something different now I got a right to be tight. Now, if she go back, then, yo, you just a gluttonous.

[B]

So when you go from a victim to a willing participant, when does that change? When do you go from, okay, I'm being taken advantage of to now I'm a willing participant because I'm. Because I knew where it was going on. I know what you're gonna do. You've been doing this. Okay. I'm hoping that at this big day I just spent 1.2 on a party for you. I heard. Allegedly.

[A]

I'm hoping to have the party. Yeah.

[D]

After party.

[A]

But nobody showed up.

[B]

I'm hoping on this day you have respect and you don't.

[A]

Yeah, I gotta. I spent $1.2 million on an after party. In the event that you won or if you lost, here's a pick you up. And you got all of this shit going on at this game. To answer your question, Flip. The funny thing about volunteers is they can unvolunteer.

[C]

That is true.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

They can walk away on their own accord, no paperwork.

[C]

But until they do. But until they do, they're a willing participant. I concur. I'm not. I'm not.

[A]

I was just answering this question.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

I'm just.

[B]

Got you. Okay. Well, I hope it all works out for them.

[A]

I wouldn't do it, but I mean, I would never be in the Super Bowl.

[B]

And then on top of that, like, if, if.

[A]

If your partner is your current partner, your current.

[C]

You have to have a level of respect.

[A]

You got to ride with who you're with.

[B]

And I agree with that. Just bring the kid. Because how could your baby mother say, I want to come to. With the kid.

[C]

No, you know what?

[B]

I was here. Huh?

[C]

I want my kids here. Who bringing the kids? Joe said. I didn't.

[B]

You have things in between.

[C]

Joe said allegedly the mom was bringing it. Her mother was bringing the baby.

[B]

Right. That's what you said.

[A]

Allegedly.

[C]

Allegedly.

[B]

The grandmother.

[A]

Oh, the grandmother.

[C]

Okay. I mean, you said the mom. Don't you mean the kids in the baby?

[A]

Is there any instance where you don't want your kid there because you know that your kid being there there is gonna give the kid's mom a license to do exactly what she did?

[B]

I think you gotta have some real honest and direct conversations ahead of time. Talk about it, Mark. You know, like, look, you're coming. You're not. And if you. If you're not capable of holding that down for whatever reason, then you can't go that way. The kid can't come. Which I don't think is the right outcome. Cause you want your kid at the school. Cause you don't know how many of them you gonna get. And it's a fucking Super Bowl. So you got to make that work. That's when you gotta. You gotta grab your nuts and man. And manage this properly. Whatever that looks like.

[C]

I'm with you.

[A]

Yeah, I think still have all that going on. Once you get to a certain age, you just don't Even have the energy.

[B]

I'm exhausted to hearing that.

[A]

Yeah, I was exhausted saying peace and love. Peace. I think I'm gonna call too. I think I'm on cardi side too. Yeah, dog. He looked amazing all weekend.

[C]

He32. I'm checking his age.

[A]

Yeah. She out there lit. That's the thing about when your partner's lit too like that and you raise the embarrassment level. Yes. You already know paparazzi is on every little thing. Either one of us. Dude, you just come on. You gotta be. It's tough. All right, now it's time for my favorite part of the show.

[B]

Prize Picks.

[A]

Prize Picks. Who was fully available in New York City?

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

For gaming. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Yes.

[D]

Should be no good in this game, but that's all right.

[A]

Oh, I went in there and loaded up.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, I went in there. I drove. Drove to the city on Sunday morning. I mean, I said cracking. I got about 10k.

[D]

Oh, that's crack.

[C]

See the difference?

[B]

That's rich people crack.

[C]

I feel like cracking you is your problem. Yo, 10k is a crack. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, I put 90 of them shits in there. Some. Something had to hit. Play 90 tickets, call it a crack, you know.

[C]

You know, half a rolly. Yo, you terrible.

[A]

A little quick. Little 10K. I wasn't mad at it.

[D]

Something like that.

[A]

All right, all right, so listen. So the big game is over. It is. And Prize Picks did not send me a read. So this is off the. Hey, if I was Prize Picks, I wouldn't have said I shouldn't expect it to read either. Honestly, for a large portion of the weekend, I was just sitting there doing math.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

With a calculator out.

[C]

Yep. You need one.

[A]

And I'm sure everybody from Prize Picks is busy and has been busy. They probably sleep right now getting massages. Yeah, they probably buy the money machine. Just watching shit add up over there. So the big game is over, and boy, Prize Picks definitely cashed in. Hopefully some of y' all cashed in as well, such as myself. We still got basketball games, though. We got basketball games. We got hockey, we got college. We got Olympics. I've been glued to watching the gold medalist curl thing.

[D]

Oh, that's good shit. That's good shit.

[A]

I feel like they are just inventing sports now. But that looks extremely difficult.

[D]

It's like. It's like shuffleboard, but big.

[A]

It's like. It's like advanced mop and glow.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Like your arm skills and your mop skills. Everybody can't mop. Yo, they gotta Be. Those guys are impressive. They do that shit fast is all I'm saying.

[D]

After. At the super bowl party, everyone went downstairs to smoke after the. After the game and they were kind of joking because figure skating was like, on. I went back upstairs to clean or whatever, came back down. They were so locked in. I was like, salute, man. Salute.

[A]

Yeah. Shout out to Kerrigan. What was I saying? Oh, so, yeah, Mad Sports is still there. Prize picks is really easy and simple to play. All you have to do is select two or more players, look at their projected stat line, and pick more or less for your chance to win big. And the ish picks of the week, ish is going with Franz Wagner for more than 17 points in rebounds.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

Bobby Portis for more than 18 points in rebounds. Chad Holmgreen for more than 10 rebounds and assists. And Jalen Suggs. I'm assuming this is it says suggest that Suggs. Jalen Suggs for more than five and a half half assist. Don't forget, if you download the app right this second and use promo code jbp, then I'll have a good argument to try to get my share of some of that money that they earned over the weekend.

[C]

The plentiful bounty.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Because I don't know that many people that hit.

[D]

It was tough.

[C]

It was a hard one, really.

[A]

Yeah. All that less.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Had to ride that less.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Everything is at up. I can't believe, man, I ain't hit nothing. Can't believe none of y' all hit. Bums.

[C]

Nothing.

[D]

Bums.

[B]

Here you the only one that hit, boy.

[A]

Bums, man. It is what it is.

[D]

I mean, you win some, we lose.

[B]

So.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You hit off the guest or something.

[A]

Brable. I put in 70 tickets, then sent my password to KE have him do a few more. I'm allowed to say that.

[C]

So ke. So KE got you. Come on.

[A]

No. Right. Projects love me. They absolutely love me.

[C]

So keep what you speak.

[A]

Whoever wanted. I wouldn't know who wanted. I learned how to go to entries and pass. Those are the only two buttons. Yep, that was it. Real quick, before we leave, some of this super bowl talk, I do want to talk about Puka Nakua's tweet about Sam Darnold with the laughing emojis. And I'd like to talk about Chris Brown's Instagram post saying, I guess I.

[B]

Think it's safe to say they need me.

[A]

I think it's safe to say they need.

[D]

That was before the numbers came out, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I wonder who was in his living room.

[D]

Good question.

[B]

You think that was. You don't like that breeze?

[C]

He said that?

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

A lot of people are offended.

[C]

I don't like that he said that.

[A]

I don't like that he said that at all.

[B]

Oh, because.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

On the Hill.

[A]

I get it.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

I.

[A]

Okay, I get it. I got. Part of what I love about. About New Chris Brown is that he's not asking y' all for nothing.

[B]

True.

[A]

He's going, he's putting his albums out, Grammy nominated. He's touring. He's bringing on acts to tour with him, some of the biggest acts in R and B. He's not asking to be seen by y', all who won't allow him to fucking grow. True. So don't turn around now in the moment, in real time, while, you know, everybody is watching his performance and sitting say, well, it looks like they need me, because I'm not even taking that as. Let's pretend it's not bad Bunny Shade.

[B]

That's what I'm saying. I take it as.

[A]

It don't have to be bad.

[B]

That's how I took it, though.

[D]

That's how I took it.

[A]

That's how most people took it. But I love the benefit of the Doubt. Let's give it to him. The timing of that. How do you expect people to walk away with?

[B]

I thought he was talking about, like, America, you know, America tried to cancel him and stuff like that, and they did, and they had a lot of complaints. So I said, I guess, yeah, I thought he was talking to them.

[A]

I don't think.

[B]

I didn't take it as. Like, he said, the Bad Bunny joint.

[A]

I didn't take it.

[C]

So the.

[A]

I didn't take it as the they.

[C]

Need me is clearly the Super Bowl.

[B]

It's the people that Coops wanted to cancel him, though, Jay, and all the people allegedly like that participated in canceling him. That's how I took it out.

[C]

But still, even in that, the only reason you would be saying that is because I just watched this halftime show and obviously, yeah, Aha. Look, this ain't what y' all thought. Y' all need me.

[D]

It was.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

No other way to.

[C]

I know it was. I'm just saying there's no other real way to take his post.

[D]

Yeah, I agree. I'm just saying that it was.

[C]

It definitely was.

[D]

I don't know what he was watching or who he was watching.

[A]

There's a true value, and a lot of people miss it. That something is sometimes a lot of value you get from just muting up.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Shut the fuck up.

[A]

If you just don't say a word. If you feel like that, that in the confines of your own home, around your people. But to make it, put it there for public consumption. Just a bad, bad timing.

[B]

See?

[A]

Bad timing.

[C]

I feel like not saying.

[B]

I, I.

[C]

He's on a list of people I think will never get the super bowl shot. Do I think he would absolutely kill it? Yes, of course he would. I think, let's just say in some bizarro world that they may have even started to float his name around. This hurts it.

[B]

This kills it.

[C]

Yeah, this absolutely kills it. It's like up. See, you know what? This is what I'm talking about.

[B]

Take it back out.

[C]

Never mind. Yeah, cuz you see how the Grammy started warming up? You know, you, you, you won a Grammy last year. You're there this year after. So it looked like the corner was being turned and then you step on. You get in your own way and do this.

[A]

This is what.

[C]

I hate it.

[A]

That's the thing, right? I totally agree with you. Freeze. Like his, his point was front facing, but by now he should have enough information to know that there's a fight being fought behind the scenes involving your name.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like when they made you, when they let you do all of that Michael Jackson practice tribute rehearsal and then 48 hours before snatched it from you. That, that wasn't about fanfare. That was about whoever's back there pulling strings. So I mean, I didn't love it from Chris and I think he's done, he's done so much.

[C]

Just growing and monster years.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, you kill it.

[C]

This is, this is a regression. So I hated to see this.

[B]

That's it.

[A]

And I love Chris as a collaborator, so I wouldn't even want Bad Bunny to think you talking about him in case I get a Chris Brown and Bad Bunny, which would be a slap. An absolute slap. Absolute slap. Puka Nakua. More of the same. Horrible timing with your crying, laughing emojis. Sam Darnold tweet.

[C]

What'd he say?

[A]

Laughing, crying emojis at Sam Darnold. And this is when Sam might not have been having the greatest of games of games. So. No, no, no, you don't. You don't shut up.

[D]

Especially to a division rival.

[A]

Especially that we just played y' all last week.

[B]

What, what's the issue? What's the, what's their donation? Nothing. He just randomly. Why tag him? Like why?

[C]

Division rival.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

It's just playback. So.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And they played the week before division rival.

[B]

They played the Week before.

[A]

The other two times they played were, I mean, absolute shootouts. The score was like 50 to 47, 43. There is a. Is tension there.

[B]

Got you.

[A]

But when your opponent just won the.

[D]

Super bowl, you gotta shut the up.

[A]

Or is on his way to winning. Muted up dog.

[D]

And you gotta play him twice next year.

[C]

What are you talking about? We just sent you home.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Ain't nothing to talk about. Nothing to talk about. Even if we lose, you not here. We the reason you not here. I'm the reason you're not here. Yeah. You talking about.

[A]

So I love the Seahawks. Clapping back.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Cause whatever you got to say about Sam Donner, Sam Darnold's super bowl performance, he arguably had it against the Rams. Like that's the game. He needed to show up. Yeah. And he showed up.

[D]

He showed up.

[A]

He showed up and he did what he needed to do to win. So Puka. Just. Just horrible.

[D]

Yeah. Horrible value in muting.

[A]

It's okay to be quiet.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's okay to not say a word. That's all I got on that. Moving on, moving on, moving on. Where else were we? All of the fights. Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

Let's get to the fights.

[A]

We could. You want to start with?

[D]

I'll start.

[A]

Let me start. Because I'm going to end some weird. Let me start. I want to start with the Hornets Piston fight. Okay. Okay. The other night, for you non basketball people, the Hornets, who have been red hot, they won that game. So they're now on a 10 game win streak. Also, they snapped Detroit's nine game win streak. They're surging since they got all of their players back and it looks like they could arguably make the plan. It also looks like Detroit is on their way to a number one seed. So, I mean, if they win the play in the first round, we potentially have the Hornets versus Detroit. But that's neither here nor there. Part of why Detroit is so good. This is Bad Boys 3.0 now.

[C]

It is.

[B]

For sure.

[A]

Jalen Duran is big as an ox.

[C]

Isaiah Stewart.

[A]

Isaiah Stewart looks like he wants to rumble with everybody and get it on. That's before you get to the Thompson board. Cade is 6, 8. Like these are big boys and they want to fight everybody. And they fought everybody. The Knicks ain't beat them all year and that's where I'm going. Part of that to me is y' all soft toughness.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Who? The Knicks? Yes.

[A]

Okay, so Jalen Durant gets into it with some dude from the Hornets who I can't name. He puts his whole hand, his face. Mush, mush. Bop, bong. Homeboy swings on him, but they holding him back. Bong. So they holding him back. Jayn Duran's backing up, but he still look looking tough. He ain't running, he's just standing. So then Miles Bridges takes offense to that and they start squaring up and they get it on a little bit. And now they pull Jalen Duran back. They pull Mouse Miles Bridges back. And now here come beef Stew off the bench in a T shirt getting it on with Miles Bridges. And boy, did I have a smile on my face.

[B]

Face.

[A]

Talk about absolutely loving violence in the NBA. It was me. It was me because somebody needed to do that.

[C]

Yo, I'm yo to the Pistons. You are taking the thoughts right out my brain. I'm so happy that happened.

[A]

And I think the Pistons are tough. They're tough.

[C]

Tough, bro.

[A]

I don't think anybody looked bad in this fight.

[B]

No.

[A]

I think both sides did exactly what they had do to to do. But boy, was I grateful that there was a team. Let me tell you something. Isaiah Stewart appears to be super tough on the court. I don't hear much about him off the court. Miles Bridges, on the other hand, you.

[B]

Hear a lot about.

[A]

I've gotten a report about on the court, off the court, in the strip club out. The strip club in Charlotte.

[B]

Charlotte.

[A]

Outside of Charlotte. Yes.

[C]

Yeah, I saw it.

[A]

No, Yes, I saw it. He.

[C]

He was with the.

[A]

He was the right one. Yeah, yeah, I loved that. He was the one that ended up with the Isaiah Stewart square up and the Knicks who look better and are surging. And if you want to go through the east, then you'll have to probably play Detroit or Boston or all these teams that you going to need to be tough 4. I hope they saw that game and I hope they soak some of that up. Jose Alvarez is going to help with some of that toughness cuz he's tough. He just knocked homeboy out last week or last month or whenever. He's going to help with some of that. And we have another player that reminds me of Jose Alvarez, which is Josh Hart, who is extremely tough.

[D]

He's tough.

[A]

So that landed me to the damage that's been done from Josh Hart sticking his finger in Jalen Brunson's ass when they won. When they won the in season tournament.

[D]

Seriously, that's not tough.

[B]

Seriously.

[C]

That's the opposite.

[A]

I know it sound like I'm here for the jokes and I'm here to be yo and I'm dead Ass that this is my correlation. I'm sorry that that landed me here. But yes, dog, other teams are watching the cup and the cup and this.

[C]

What you all doing.

[A]

Other teams who already felt like. Like Carl Anthony Towns was soft.

[C]

Well, that's been a thing.

[A]

Who already felt like the Knicks were soft. Every NBA player with a podcast goes on their podcast to say the Knicks are soft. And they not about nothing, cuz they soft. And you take that moment to stick your finger up these ass and you are the tough one on the team.

[C]

Maybe that's why he did it.

[A]

That's why he allowed.

[B]

It's a wild. You know what time it is. You don't say nothing. Ah, nigga. Yeah, take these figures. Shut the up. Welcome home.

[D]

You're not gonna do nothing you ain't gonna do.

[A]

Because I'm saying when I first saw it, I was a little pissed off. But then I came around to my ignorance to. To college culture humor. So I told so I don't mind. I didn't go to college. I get it. Frat boy humor. Whatever y' all want to call it. It wasn't until the Hornets fight that I said, damn.

[D]

That's why you can't figure out.

[A]

That's why you can't. That's why you sound so ignorant. That's why you can't finger your man ass. You know, after you.

[B]

That's after you win the trophy because.

[C]

The rest of the league gonna look.

[A]

At you like you chump.

[B]

There's a bunch of other reasons.

[C]

No, I was happy to see them fight. I'm dead ass. I was just happy to see this.

[A]

Got the smooth entry too. Yo, this is like. Yes. She is like skin so soft.

[B]

Maybe it's Maybelline.

[A]

That boy.

[B]

Hey.

[A]

Go ahead, man. And you got them jeans on. Feeling good.

[B]

Feeling right.

[A]

Go ahead.

[B]

You say his whole thighs out look disgusting.

[A]

I couldn't agree with. I don't even know what you about to say, but I agree with everything that you said, dog.

[C]

One old school basketball's taking a. And the Detroit just been running around here bullying everybody. Isaiah Stewart be bullying him. And my man from Indiana with the tattoos. Yeah, nobody in the league don't want to fight them. Miles Bridges and was like, I don't give a about boop.

[A]

They was getting it on.

[C]

And when they got in the middle, Miles hit him with a couple.

[A]

Nah, they got it on some good.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

And then they said the African dude that got in the fight, they said he's so mild mannered, they were shocked to see him go crazy like that because he just kept trying to get at the niggas. He wouldn't let them hold them down. I appreciate that. And I think in the playoffs, it's like, I don't. I don't give a fuck who y' all are. Y' all not bullying me. I'm not bully able. Let's rock. I think it sets the stage for the playoffs.

[B]

That's the basketball we grew up on.

[A]

Yes. I love Jalen Brunson. I love his dad, Rick Brunson. I'm a die hard Knick fan. Yo, pick a Piston and knock them niggas out. Pick a Piston. Next time y' all play them, pick a. And you know why this hurts.

[B]

That don't work if you can't fight. You know, if you pick that wrong, you pick the wrong Piston, you gonna get pissed off.

[A]

Hey, hold him down. Hold him. And you know who I like a lot? Cause they was getting on Duncan Robinson for walking away from the fight. He looked so. He was back turned. He was out of there. But like, again, you should know your friends that are. That are with the shits. And you should know your friends who need to get away from the scuffle when it's happening. Duncan Robinson strikes me as that. He ain't trying to throw no hands. He just wants you some three pointers. You know who I like a lot?

[C]

Go home and eat some beef stew.

[A]

I like Tobias Harris a lot. Yo, he was in the middle.

[C]

He was in the middle of the melee and he was trying to break that shit.

[B]

Trying to break it up. He's the adult in the room.

[A]

No, I absolutely love to buy his Harris, which is funny because when he was on the Sixers, boy, did I have horrible things to say. And he stepped to me about it at one of the nick games.

[B]

Good for him.

[A]

But he was beautiful about it. He's a great dude. Everything you said, his family was great. He's great. But just he in the middle, he got.

[B]

He got to understand. That's on brand for the next. Exactly.

[A]

It's cool.

[B]

Let me talk to you real quick.

[A]

My say, learn me a little bit. Your whole vocabulary came out family out.

[B]

Harris jersey. Now.

[A]

I just like. I like the joke. So get it off. Yes, he pressed me, but I just like how he carried it last year in the playoffs against us. I just like how I like it. And I like how he carried it in that fight. Yeah, he was there not to punch on nobody, but to be the adult. Yo, you break it up, you move. I'm not scared. I'm not leaving, but my team going to be all right leaving. I like that.

[B]

That's what you need, leadership.

[A]

I like that.

[C]

You need veteran leadership. When you got these young, athletic, good niggas, you need the veteran to.

[A]

Yeah, resign him. I don't know. I think this might be a contract year. And he's older, but you need that resign. Tobias Harris. This is a Tobias Harris Stan account. Now he really shook.

[D]

God damn.

[A]

He pushing for the fan. Listen, how many Joe Buttons you think it take care to buy his Aries damn lot. Damn, what was I about to say? Also the other night, because it was fight night in the NBA and we. We could breeze past this one, but the Timberwolves and the Hawks. Nas Reed versus the African dude on the Hawks. I hope he's African. If not, I just seriously typecast him.

[C]

I ain't see.

[D]

I didn't see that one.

[B]

I didn't see that one.

[A]

Yeah, they got it on too. Really? Yes. Connected face to face. Fight.

[C]

Somebody gets stolen, bro.

[A]

Naz Reed. What did Nas Reed do? Homeboy got in his face like, like. Oh, no. He hit him with the. Hit him with the old school. One of these. No, the flinch. Ah. And then homeboy grabbed his jersey from the back like this. And then Nas Reed pushed him like that.

[C]

And then it was Muhammad Gai. I'm saying his name wrong.

[A]

Yeah, I'll never say his name again. It's all right. Some names I don't need. I'm not saying. Come on, let's go, guy. I'm not saying no Hawks. Now who to wants the Hawks?

[B]

Philadelphia Boosie's still dancing the game.

[A]

He trying his best to make it seem ain't nobody there.

[B]

Nigga, we need more of that in the NBA. I mean, the last 10 years in the NBA. And I know I'm the old man in the room.

[C]

We all are.

[B]

But like, all that three point shooting and no fighting and you can't touch nobody. And it's a flagrant for plucking somebody and all that shit. To me it just. As a person who grew up in 90s basketball, like, that shit is a turn off to me. I like the physicality. I like seeing people fight. I like hard fouls. I like the beef. And I. I get all the problems with it, but I don't give a.

[C]

I like the camaraderie.

[B]

They hold the nigga jersey for real, bro.

[C]

I like the camaraderie. Yes. Like, dog, if somebody puts Jason Brunson on his ass, he's the MVP Carl Anthony Towns has to come slam the out of them.

[B]

Like that is.

[C]

That's how you take your stars back.

[B]

He's got the figures ready.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, that's a way to.

[D]

Respond to, I guess.

[C]

Are you doing.

[A]

Finger bag boy?

[B]

Three fingers for you, mbb.

[A]

Yo, after that Hornets fight, they kept showing that there was a police presence. Large police presence standing by both locker rooms. Yo, shout out to streaker dude during the super bowl, too. I got it. Yo, hey, hey, streaker dude. Because they didn't air.

[C]

But he streaked and he had on.

[A]

Some shits and he had on the meta shades, okay.

[B]

While he did it.

[A]

So he was able to record his entire street experience.

[C]

It's the second time.

[A]

And this is the same guy who streaked last year or the other year and bet on himself.

[D]

Oh, okay.

[A]

So he made a hundred and some thousand dollars. He went to jail, bailed himself out with the winnings they was paying him. So he streaked again. No, you gotta predict it. Hey, if you free next year, would you hit a Reddit or something and just say what you about to get it done? I'll put some money on the streaker.

[B]

Joe, you too rich for the this question, but how much would. How much would y' all have to be paid to go butt naked across to do the streaking thing for the Super Bowl?

[D]

Not a lot.

[A]

During the bad money.

[B]

For the love of the game.

[C]

Bad money out there. You'll run out there for the free.

[B]

That's true.

[D]

The dancers he had out there.

[C]

Yeah, I'm flopping. Hey, Bunny.

[A]

And then Jeff Goldblum will be on the side. Like, look at him.

[B]

I was talking about.

[A]

He never got himself together.

[B]

Whatever, guys. How much?

[C]

I'll do it. Five figures.

[B]

Five figures.

[C]

Mid fives.

[B]

I say 10,000.

[C]

You 50.

[B]

50. Okay, 50.

[C]

[B]

I. I already know what you going to say.

[A]

Be such a crack.

[C]

I'm a bet. I'm a bet. I'm a run on. I take the 50 and I bet.

[A]

I'll give you 50,000 to do that now up the street.

[C]

No, I promise you I would. Go ahead.

[A]

No, come on, let's think of some places. All right, 70,000.

[B]

This said.

[A]

Yo, I got 70,000 for you to. For me to. Can I drop you off at the location? Yo, go ahead. Can I just pick up. No, no, no.

He paid at least 20,000 fees.

[A]

Yeah, I'm paying lawyer fees.

[C]

Yo, that's crazy.

[B]

Awesome. The way you real quick. The way you handled that was fire.

[A]

Yo, let me give you pounds up. Why? What other way was it?

[B]

You just. We was in park shit, looking all stressed, doing. We look crazy. And you were just keeping it pe. You just handled it well, son. I don't know how I would have responded to that. I just like how you handled it. I like how you just kept your head on the swivel and just kept recording and kept producing. Stayed out of the media. Stayed out. Well, I didn't.

[A]

I didn't.

[B]

Hey, yo, wait a minute. Yo, he down there. He over there hiding somewhere.

[A]

I like the way I respond. Adversity today. Yeah, it wasn't always like that.

[B]

Do you think that you would have handled it different back then?

[A]

Yes. Yes. Really?

[C]

No.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

There's a lot of things going on that. If this were 37 year old Joe, it would go a little different. So. Child to maturity and God. Okay. Oh, good times. To answer your question. To answer you, I wouldn't do it. He rich already.

[B]

100 million. Wouldn't do it. Get it done for.

[A]

For you to streak of the Zoomo. Yeah.

[B]

No, he could be a honey mill boy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Do you know the honey?

[C]

That's the little pocket on the jeans.

[D]

Oh, you.

[C]

I mean.

[A]

I mean, if there were to be a number like, let's just have some fun. All right, let's say for a billion dollars, right? Let's just throw some out there. I'd have to be hard. All right, let me. Do I get. Do I get.

[D]

You can do a on there.

[A]

Like Swiss cheese over here. Y. Y' all shooting.

[B]

Y' all get y off.

[C]

That's what I be want.

[B]

Icy Hot.

[C]

They can't have you out there on cold water. Yo, before I run on the field, I be.

[A]

Yeah. I got to tell you.

[C]

Wake up.

[B]

Wake up.

[A]

What? You gotta take a honey pack to streak.

[C]

You ain't right.

[D]

Nah, that's a charge if you're on rock.

[B]

Yeah, it is.

[A]

It's just for fun.

[C]

I'm already catching the charge, my nigga.

[A]

Well, not if your rock is pebble. Oh, that part. Then you.

[C]

He might not gotta be on rock. He gotta be on medium.

[B]

You started rocking the dressing room.

[A]

We being gay again.

[B]

All right, well, let's move to something else.

[A]

That'll be a little misdemeanor for ice. He'll be right out.

[C]

Problem. Anyway.

[B]

Anyway, Joe, there's another fight we gotta cover.

[A]

Mad fights. Okay? So this one involves a dear friend of ours. Friend of the shit show. Friends of the show, man. Friends of the show.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Zier Franklin on that one. On an episode of 520, their Super bowl wrap up episode, things got a little heated between Zier and Jeff T. Like to hear it. Here's a clip.

[C]

Who got more money? The league.

[A]

We talking league players, players.

[B]

Now you.

[C]

I got money. You got money. I got money. We both rich. I'm from the hood, and we both made it out. So you talking about.

[A]

No talking about players getting.

[C]

What you mean? We got money too. It's just a different math. It don't make no difference. The same way soccer players got more money than all of us.

[A]

Talking about.

[C]

So, like, that's what I'm trying to get.

[A]

You understand?

[C]

We can have a conversation. You ain't got to be a little kid. Let's have a girl, though.

[A]

For real.

[B]

Talk to talk.

[A]

You can talk how you want to talk. Y' all weak.

[C]

You mad because the super bowl is a national holiday and you're upset about that.

[A]

They had to tell me you play on the team.

[C]

The first time y did the interview, I said, who is this dj?

[A]

See, Jeff, you taking it somewhere else.

[C]

Jeff, you taking it somewhere else.

[A]

They said you was a pro linebacker. I said, who is this day of my life.

[C]

This like, that's what I'm saying. So like your NBA career, you wasn't a household name. So, like, are you making my point? But that's what I'm saying. Household names get the double time. Let's keep it moving.

[B]

So clearly you went to the game and they actually said, put Smith.

[C]

I'm trying to understand. What's your point? You keep trying me.

[A]

Stop. Don't disrespect my name.

[B]

Hold up, hold up, Jeff.

[C]

Don't disrespect my name. You know my name.

[A]

I am going to continue this clip, but I'd like to see how y' all feel halfway into it. I don't like it.

[C]

I think they play so much, I don't think it was necessarily personal. And he was trying to make a point, and I think emotions ran a little high, but I think they. They. They so silly. They was playing, talking about, like, the. The. The main on a football team and the main niggas on a basketball team get different social recognition, which is true. We say that all the time.

[A]

Like, we.

[C]

We say that.

[A]

I mean, we've had that talk with Z up here. It went a little different, but we had it.

[C]

You know what I'm saying? Jeff started talking about money. And if you look at it from a money perspective, the NBA niggas do technically make more money than a lot of the NFL niggas. So I think, again, ego's gotten to it, and it made a hard left turn that Weir shouldn't have went. But I think it was all in fun.

[B]

Initially, when I first heard it, I was like, 100%. Like, Zaire was. Right. Listening to it just now, I still feel like Zaire handled himself well. And I like the way he. He was like, look, it's going somewhere else. Let's not go this direction. I heard what you heard, though. I think Jeff was being funny, and then he just doubled that. That's where ego comes in. Like I said, once you see you piss somebody off, just stop. Just be like, all right, well, I see I hit a nerve. I didn't mean to. I'm just fucking with you. But he kept doubling down, almost like, I'm not gonna.

[D]

Especially if you've watched a Colts game. Like, there's only one so far. You gotta push right here.

[A]

Like, I'm cool.

[D]

My bad, my bad, my bad.

[B]

And that's who you pull back.

[A]

And y', all. Y' all both from the town. Y' all are homies.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, this is the super bowl edition of your show. So great to have an All Pro player that led the league in sacks up here. I mean, tax sacks a bunch of times.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Great to have him up here to kick it about it. That's how I feel when Zaire's up here, it's like, wow, yes, we can have. We can have this talk. But, I mean, it's all in fun and to.

[B]

It ain't right.

[D]

Right.

[A]

And at some point in this clip, which we'll get to, the fun stopped. That's important. Yeah, the fun is stopped once you.

[C]

Start calling him by your last name off and I don't know your name. Now you. Now you.

[B]

It wasn't funny.

[C]

Yeah. Now it's, like belittling now. Now it's like, I'm just trying to demean you. Unless you being silly. Cause we'll come up here and do shit like that in a silly way. When you see it, start affecting them now, Jeff Ego gonna kick it kick in and be like, yo, I'm like. And start doubling down instead of. Because now where we from, it's like, yo, don't disrespect me. It's borderline threatening. Like, yo, stop playing me before I do something to you. So now Jeff Ego gonna kick in and say.

[B]

Or what? And that's the way.

[A]

When I heard it. Zaire didn't come off to me that way. And I know Zaire. He doesn't. But in the clip, he was saying, jeff, we're live. Yeah.

[B]

Like, we.

[A]

This is a lie. Come on.

[D]

You taking it.

[A]

You're taking it somewhere where this don't have to. To go. Like you playing on my neck. Let's have the talk like adults. I. I thought that was a very great. A great way to get somebody's guard down. Like, yo, I'm not threatening you. I'm not trying to take it there. Like, let's have a good talk. Let me continue with this clip live.

[C]

So we don't got to, like, don't.

[A]

I don't remember your last name. They put Z.

[C]

You don't just.

[A]

All right, what is it? I paused it again.

[D]

That's disrespectful.

[B]

Yeah. And he called him Zaire Smith, who. Yeah. Isn't exactly an NBA legend.

[A]

I don't know who Zaire Smith is at all.

[B]

The Sixers drafted Mikal Bridges and traded him for Zaire Smith, who basically never played again.

[A]

Oh, I remember that. I do remember that. So it. But just so we're clear, first of all, in a room full of men, it's important to know when the tone is changing, too.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Like, I think that's part of just man language. Like speaking without speaking.

[C]

Indeed.

[A]

Jeff either. Who do you think started that?

[C]

Jeff. Jeff. I don't even think he's Maybe not on purpose. The one thing that Jeff said to me, that was out of bounds, because I don't think calling him Ziyah Smith is out of bounds. If we silly. If we playing, bro, we play. We play worse than that up here.

[B]

We be out of bounds, too, sometimes.

[A]

But it's only out of bounds. Bounds. It's about communication. It's out of bounds once somebody has expressed to you that it's out of bound. I'm not playing. I'm done playing. I don't play like that. I'm working on my Name. I'm building my name. Please stop. You tell me about who else. Get money. All of that's cool. But I'm a football player. This is the route that I chose. This is how I want to build my legacy. Legacy is important to me. Say it, lets it be known. That legacy and his last name and how he carry it is important for him, especially in the league with all that he go through. So you got an active player. You got an active player on your couch. Not somebody that's retired, not somebody looking to be retired. You got somebody on a team, so. And players watch these podcasts.

[C]

I think the bigger shot, which was unnecessary was, nigga, when they interviewed you, I ain't know who the fuck you was.

[A]

Right?

[C]

I think that's way more out of bounds than calling him out of his name. He said, yo, tell them the truth. Remember, they like, yo, Zaire, he a all pro linebacker. I'm like, who the fuck is this nigga?

[A]

It's all dub doubling and tripling down when somebody that you care about is saying, yo, please stop. You're taking it somewhere where it don't need to go. I'll keep playing it.

[C]

What you really trying to be on? Like, that's what I'm saying. Like you taking it somewhere else. Like, we had a combo. Like we at work, bro. Like, what you want, bro?

[A]

Like, we ain't gotta do all this game.

[C]

They put me on a jumbo chime. They didn't put you on jumbo chime. They put me on jumbo ch.

[A]

They cheered.

[C]

They cheered all pro. Have you ever been all NBA? No. Have you ever like, you was a one time all star. I promise you, I'm gonna get another Pro bowl before you get into all. Your career is over.

[A]

They traded you all over the NBA. I'mma pause this. They've. They've clearly turned up at this point.

[D]

Yeah, right.

[A]

Also an important man language to know by Joe Budden. Know that know when something is a sensitive area that you broaching for somebody else. Don't take that and weaponize it already. We. This was a sensitive topic from Go.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

For a retired NBA player and an NFL active NFL player to have the whole. Like, we could have it. We ain't shit. We un athletic as hell. You don't give a fuck about what we talking about. But for them two to have it. This is a. And now we tossing around accomplishments and accolades and who did what. Who cheered?

[C]

Most athletes are egotist.

[A]

Weird, bro. Okay. But now we. We've approached a sensitive area. Now so. And all the laughing in the background. That. That is cool. Until sometimes it ain't cool. Yeah, understood.

[C]

I was a captain on every Calm down gang. Like, really with me, I'm carrying it out here. And I came in late. You was an early pick. I was a late pick and I got out the mud. So watch your mouth when you talking to me.

[A]

Real rap, bro. Now you really trying.

[B]

All right, people, actually, what's the Philly say?

[A]

Real rap.

[C]

We lie.

[A]

We don't have. You have a good career, bro.

[C]

Don't disrespect my name. That's.

[A]

See, that's how many Jeff Teagues. That's. So I've already made my position clear. Please stop playing with me like this. Now you about to be passive aggressive and you call me tough guy and yada like you had a good career. Jeff didn't do too much to massage the situation. I will say that he later on apologized, which I'll play, cuz I don't think it's fair to play this and not the apology. And we love all of these guys. So glad they pieced that up and it's over. But boy, did they have the Internet and little frenzy yesterday.

[C]

I'm say we don't have to do that. Everything is cool. You don't got to spend money.

[A]

No disrespect.

[B]

You.

[A]

You win big dog.

[B]

You win. You.

[A]

I'm saying you the go. You the go.

[B]

Mad. I'm getting mad hearing this again.

[A]

What?

[C]

Just don't disrespect my name, that's all.

[B]

Come on out of here.

[C]

My.

[A]

You good, though. Do your thing. Out of here.

[C]

You good.

[A]

Wave his hand. Out of here. You good, though. Do your thing. You tough as. Yeah, this is a lot. Sorry, J. That's what I'm saying.

[C]

It didn't have to be.

[A]

It's a football day. It's a football day. It's ever a football day on 520. You can get the out of here if I don't give a. That's what. And at that point, I got to say this. Z. Franklin handled himself extremely well.

[C]

I hit him. I was like, yo, salute. Just keeping your composure, cuz. You were clearly being provoked right here. Yeah, Nigga said, I learned from the best.

[B]

Why you up?

[A]

Like, get the fuck out of here. Stop. I'm done with the clip. All right.

[B]

I thought you was gonna play an apology.

[A]

I am.

[B]

Yeah, okay. I get it.

[C]

But no, I'm saluting him for that. Like, when you see somebody trying to get you to break character or get out of your norm. And you don't respect. React it, take it. Takes self discipline. Everybody ain't got it.

[D]

That's true.

[B]

Facts.

[A]

You told me you was proud in the text.

[C]

No, I just said salute.

[B]

We saw that play develop.

[C]

I know. Hey, I'm still saluting you. I'mma salute you again.

[A]

So things got heavy on the Internet.

[C]

I see. I'm speaking. I see that. Try to trick you out your spot and how you look like a clown in front of these cameras and. And you held it down.

[B]

He got it the first time you texted. Boy, I wasn't talking to you either. Flip.

[C]

And you know, you know I'm waiting for you. I got some for you. I promise you.

[D]

Let's get it.

[A]

Let's get it.

[C]

Nope.

[A]

Let's get it.

[C]

No, I got you.

[D]

You.

[C]

Yeah, you. We can do it now.

[B]

Then let's do it.

[C]

The you be saying and. And playing around like it's not you. I'm on to you. I've watched you. I've been sitting here for a minute. I let it slide because I don't play them coe games. But I like to let people know that I see what they doing.

[B]

Okay?

[C]

Now if you continue to do it and I let you know I see.

[B]

It, I will respond. Now let me respond. What do you say?

[C]

It's no shots. Again, I'm not with the shooting.

[B]

I don't do that.

[C]

That.

[B]

You clarify a question for me. Hold on. We do that a lot. Interrupt. Stop.

[C]

Hold on.

[B]

I just understand. We got to stop picking and choosing.

[C]

If you're going to.

[B]

If you feel that way towards me, if you can't pick and choose with me because I'm going, Just. Just keep going going. If you. You have to be like that across the board. The jokes are the jokes. This is what. This is the gig. Hold on, let me finish. I just. I'm speaking in code. I'm gonna just translate. The jokes are the jokes. Anything that I say to you is not a disrespect to anybody that you love or that you deal with. It's more like, hey, yo, shout out to Mr. Piece or shout out to what's going on.

[C]

Shout my woman out. If I can't shout yours out, keep.

[B]

My name out your face.

[C]

No, I can't. You don't let anyone speak to. About. About your wife or your children at all. That is a boundary that you set.

[B]

That was enough.

[C]

I respect you. Have I set a boundary as well that you don't respect? You don't respect it?

[A]

No.

[C]

You picking and Choosing because you don't respect it. They respect it. You don't respect the boundaries.

[B]

Okay. Okay.

[C]

That's what I'm talking about. I'm speaking to a person that chooses to step over the boundary. That's all.

[B]

All I'm saying.

[C]

I'm talking to you.

[B]

I'm here to perform. I'm here to have fun. If we. If I feel like if something came out on the show and I'm cracking a joke about how you may be overprotective, it's funny.

[C]

That's not to you. You can't decide what's funny to me, though.

[A]

Cool.

[C]

And I again, have a boundary set. Leave my family out of your jokes.

[B]

And what's the boundary?

[C]

I just told you. Leave my family out of your jokes. Okay.

[B]

You gonna tell anybody else that the room.

[C]

Don't do it.

[B]

Everybody do it.

[C]

No, they don't. I'm speaking to you. Cause you do it and you set it all off. You'll do it.

[A]

You flip.

[C]

I. Again, I pay attention to this.

[B]

We go in the circles.

[C]

We are.

[A]

We go.

[C]

We.

[B]

We go. We go.

[C]

And you, my man.

[B]

I love you. He folded. We go circles. Hey, Mark, we going to circle.

[C]

Ain't no gas here. Ain't no gas.

[B]

It's about just. It's just about if you. I'm just trying to keep it light so we don't look like the thing we were just criticizing for making bad tv.

[A]

It seemed like y' all trying to take the fight award away from 520N.

[B]

But if. If you feel. Listen, if. If he feels that way, I. I'm going to respect it. I just. I just feel like it's. It's a thing. It's funny. It's fun. I don't. It's not talking bad about your family to me. Now you say things. Oh, you're not home. And that could be taken a certain way.

[C]

I say things like what?

[B]

I'm not home. I'm doing this.

[C]

You said that.

[B]

And I. And I have to eat that. He's saying I'm going to get him as well.

[C]

No, no, no.

[A]

But the reason why I don't play.

[B]

With him is because. Hold on. Let me say this, too. But we joke back and forth. The reason why I don't play with him is because he said that I said something before that was like. He told him that. That I said something before that was out of line. And he never came to me. So when I heard that, I did that. I said, I'm not gonna play with him like that. I don't want to play if a ain't gonna come to me and tell me.

[A]

You told me.

[C]

I don't really care about nothing that's going on with him. I'm talking about me.

[A]

No, no.

[B]

That's how I feel about you. And what I feel about you is all jokes and love.

[A]

Okay, y' all can text each other later. Y' all boring me now.

[D]

All right.

[A]

I tried to let it turn up for a little bit.

[C]

There's nothing to turn up. Cause I'm not. I'm not. There's nothing to turn up.

[B]

No more picking the two. More picking the two.

[A]

I don't ever need a new reason to play. I love the song. I love that.

[B]

Love it.

[C]

Every version.

[A]

Cuz. He's right, but I agree with you. Like, I like the joke. I like those jokes. Jokes would be a little funny. But he's right. I like what you do.

[B]

You crack the joke.

[A]

Nigga, I love when you started, but.

[B]

You cracked the joke.

[A]

Yeah, but I got more relationship equity with him than you.

[B]

Then that's what he need to say.

[A]

And I love him more, but that's what he needs.

[B]

And I love.

[A]

I love him more than you, but.

[B]

A need to say that. Yo, I with him.

[A]

I knock out over him, though. You never did that. You never put no work in too. That's what I'm saying. Look at is hates me. Yo, I can't wait till you go to Portugal. Get out the US. Back. 520.

[B]

So, yeah, some people get into random arguments on shows and it's really awkward. And I'm glad that 520 learned the lesson about that. Start the random arguments. How you start this business, man. What you saying? What he said. Let me. I was just trying to understand. I didn't know what it was coming from. You know what I mean? I really didn't understand.

[A]

So now you got. Now you got the man tag on your car. We know what the fifth one is.

[B]

That a joke about getting five back.

[A]

Let's see. Look what you did. Now them air tags on your muffler.

[C]

Airtag joke. Is that a joke about my family?

[A]

And that's me a freeze joke because I track mine thinking that I don't play with you at the grocery store right now. Sit down. Yeah.

[C]

Do that with yours.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's up? I don't care. I do that. Yeah.

[C]

Where you going?

[A]

I'd be surprised when she get drunk.

[B]

[A]

What time is you get dressed in the daytime? I know. Let me stop get in trouble now. Hey, Y' all ain't no fighting. I get in trouble.

[B]

Back to Jeff Teague.

[C]

Talk about we got a whole boy.

[B]

We got one more fight to talk about.

[A]

No, we got mad. We not getting the apology got cuz these are guys. So we can't just paint one picture.

[B]

They pieced it up, so I got distracted.

[A]

They pieced shut the mark.

[B]

I really forgot.

[D]

We don't got.

[C]

Let me hear this. I didn't hear this.

[A]

Oh, here we go. What? So shout out to Z. Yo, that's my dog. Me and him go back and forth every day on and off camera about basketball topics and football topics. We always comparing who got what, who do what. So shout out to him. It's all love. We dapped up yesterday after the show. We all talked about these. Got on my ass yesterday. Mike got on my ass talking about, hey, let's go, Mike. When I said that or whatever, he's like, we five tuna. We all won. So I appreciate that and I apologize to him last night about the show. About disrespecting his name. Yes, good, good. Hard. About his legacy and what he's gonna build and all the things that he got going for the Franklin. So I apologize to him about that. Y' all know I don't give a about my accolades and all that. So whatever he said to me, it's all good. Yeah, but Jeff got a ring, but come on, man. Yeah, and no Mire would be here.

[B]

On the 2 Tuesday, but he is on vacation.

[A]

My boy is free.

[B]

Obviously the coast wasn't on, so he.

[A]

Is enjoying his time and ice texting him. I'm on vacation. You put out yesterday. Went across the NBA.

[B]

Man, let's get to it. The Pistons took care of the horse.

[A]

All right, all right, all right. So that was the apology shout out to the 520.

[C]

And I love that apology.

[A]

Me too.

[B]

Yeah, sometimes you gotta make people apologize.

[A]

It's got press the top.

[B]

Yeah, you gotta do that. Always your type of nigga. I also want Tobias Harrison. Joe, I wasn't even thinking about what ISIS did to you. He ain't do nothing to me. No, man, look, please all love, man. I'm glad we all came together.

[A]

You know who I want to see? Zaire ain't the guy. I'm sorry. Zaire is the guy that I would just want to make angry, though. But I'm pussy.

[B]

I like Zaire. He's a good dude.

[C]

You would want to make angry.

[B]

I wouldn't.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[A]

I wouldn't want to make Zaire angry at all. Never That I have a long afternoon after a hug with that nigga. Some N is just built differently. Leave that nigga alone. Yeah, what it's like to be in your late 20s again. Yeah. Nah, I'm cool. More fights, More fights. More fights, More fights.

[B]

We gotta talk about Ja Rule on the plane with Uncle Murder and Tony Yayo. That was the one that I came in thinking about the most, man, and I was so glad to see. Let's start first. A video came out yesterday that Yayo put. Tony Yayo put.

[A]

No, before any video came out, a tweet came out. Facts. It's important to start there. Yale tweeted. Or Murder. I don't remember. Tweeted. You'll never guess who we bumped into. We bumped into Ja Rule on the airplane and we got video coming soon.

[B]

Yes. So you're expecting it to be either a brawl or somebody getting chumped. Somebody. Something gotta be happening. And if they the ones tweeting it, you assume they tweeting cause they came out on top. Cause you don't tweet it if you didn't.

[C]

I don't go by that rule.

[B]

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that's what they want you to think it is. Oh.

[C]

Oh, okay, okay. It's usually the opposite.

[B]

So they say that. Then the video comes out, and it shows them behind them. They're all in first class, but sitting behind Ja Rule, talking shit to him. And then they show there's a clip, there's a blip in the screen. And then they show Ja Rule off the plane. And 50 also retweeted it, you know, reposted it. And they basically made it seem as if they scared Ja Rule off the flight. And they said that Ja Rule kind of made a scene so he would get taken off the flight so he could justify not being on the plane with them. So. And I saw the comments going in. They were going crazy. My thought in that moment was, something's missing from this story. And I wanted to know what it was. I ain't know who was right, who was wrong, but I just knew something was missing. But we ain't had no answers. And then TMZ found another video from a different passenger. Not from Uncle Murder Antonio, but from a different passenger. Passenger that showed what was happening in the Gap. And there's a moment where. Where Ja is standing up and he's with the shits. From what it looked like to me, he.

[A]

He was.

[B]

He wanted to fight. He was like, what's up? And, well, he Was with the shits.

[C]

In the first video that they put out. The first video too.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

But you can see he. Yo, listen, both of y' all are.

[B]

Little like a police ass man.

[C]

Both of them. And then it cut real quick. So even in that part.

[B]

That's true.

[C]

Which to make it seem weird, like they were getting theirs off. And he ain't say right. Then you see the video that you speak to, and he was like, yo, listen, what we doing? We could do this right now. What's up?

[A]

Right?

[C]

It didn't look like no back down at all.

[D]

No pun intended.

[C]

Ah. But yeah. Just tried to frame it a certain way.

[B]

We too old to be doing that, man. I agree. I with them, but they was just too old to be doing that on the airplane.

[A]

And facts and those, you know.

[B]

And I mean, I guess say that for the young niggas. That's what I gotta say about that. Like, you have a fight on a.

[A]

Plane, it's a federal charge.

[B]

You get banned. All that shit that come with that. And it's just that that shit is that beef shit between them niggas, man. I mean, it's long lasting. You can't tell anyone when to give up.

[A]

But let's stay on that first point you made. That's a great point. That not only is it a federal charge charge and you risk being banned by the airline, but if you. You have enough infractions, you'll be bent from the airport. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

And flying is how you put food on the table for your kids. What plays a part in how you feed your family?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

You know what I mean? So travel and etc. Etc. Is how you getting around, getting the gigs, flying to go do whatever the case may be. That is whack.

[A]

I have a lot of thoughts about this. I don't even know where to start. One at our big age. I'm not. I can't speak for nobody else. Clearly they got this lifelong, everlasting, never ending beef going on. That leads to my second question. I get confused at Uncle Murder's participation.

[B]

Well, that was my question for y'.

[C]

All.

[A]

I get it. That he's riding.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That kind of. That comes off away to me. That comes off away.

[B]

How if 50.

[A]

Wanna carry this on and Yayo and they wanna carry this on with Ja. When I saw 50 at the nick game, he basically said, it's forever, nigga. So, okay, I understand your way of thinking. I'll never understand the guy that didn't have nothing to do with nothing being so indebted. To. To another man that you have to carry that out. That's not. My brain just don't function. I don't get that. I don't get that. Like, why is Uncle Murder recording me?

[B]

I agree.

[A]

Explain it to me. I mean, if there's an explanation, I.

[B]

Mean, I guess loyalty riding out for the team that you bought. We too old for this. I mean, me and you walking down the street and you get jumped. I'm fighting if you got a problem with a. We fighting. But if I just see your OPP sitting on an airplane and you're not there. I'm not starting to fight with him or videotape. But are you gonna have a conversation with them? Probably not. Unless he did something. You get what I'm saying? Like, we too old to just be carrying out beefs. Like, we young boys. And to me, that's a step further than we need to do.

[C]

I think me and you, yes, we're too old. But I think the way that they carry themselves, it's some loyalty shit in there. Like your beef. I'm inheriting this beef. Even if I wasn't there for the start or whatever.

[B]

Whatever.

[C]

But if I'm rotting with. With you, I'm inheriting this beef. Because the flip side, if we do got beef, right? And let's just. I'm not saying that if this would. Anybody has done this, but let's just say Josh Peoples was on and saw Uncle Murder Dolo or something, they might roll him out because you down with them.

[A]

See, that's like some real.

[B]

I hate that too.

[A]

I hate it. Sorry. My pushback to that is who would be Ja's people that you speak up like. Ja is a family man. Has been a family man. Irv Gotti is gone play golf five times a month.

[C]

I know he's not on it. I said if he was on that type of beef. That's what you risk when you're cool with a nigga that got beef. I'm not saying Ja's on that. We know Ja. Ja's not. We know he ain't think about that shit like that.

[A]

And listen. 51. To beef with Ja musically, like that's established.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And he's got a lot of people in the. In the public thinking and believing whatever perception about Ja they have cool. That's understood. Outside of that, Ja ain't a pussy. Like, he ain't. You can't just see him at a bodega and fucking bust him upside the head. He's going to try to defend himself.

[C]

And the crazy shit is J's in better shape than he might.

[B]

Right.

[C]

It might get. It might get rough.

[B]

It might not go the way they want.

[C]

It might get rough.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I don't. I. I don't.

[A]

I didn't like anything about it. But on the flip side, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murder are also starting a podcast.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

Yeah, that's not a good excuse for.

[A]

For this says some. Yeah, I agree with you. I'd like that. I mean but. But some would say if I'm starting a podcast or you just running around getting millions and millions of dollars, it's not. No. Because I just roll out. We happen to be on the same plane, which a few things about even that. Right. None worse than your op being in first class with you. Like your op you normally hope goes back to 27F or. And then you could deal with being frustrated that, oh, they're on the same flight. Oh, something about this 1010 flight. Everyone's on this. There's certain flights that everybody's on and if you travel a lot, you should know what that flight is. They coming from all the super bowl shenanigans. This flight is lit.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So none worse than that. One and two. My quick elitist thought. Exactly why you fly private.

[C]

I know your.

[A]

That is exactly why and I get it. It's this is California, so that ain't cheap. But you fly private because the last thing you want to do is turn around and see Uncle Murder with his phone recording you calling you all types of ass and sucker ass and all types of.

[C]

Directly behind you.

[A]

Yeah. A few rows behind you.

[C]

I was like, oh, I don't want my.

[B]

I'd rather be in 27F if it's my OP. Honestly, the first class. I don't want a of ton that would want to fuck me up sitting right behind me under any circles behind me. All matter of fact.

[A]

Funny thing, I don't even. I think both Tony Yayo and Uncle Murder are smart. They not dummies. So I don't think they wanted to do nothing to the job but heckle em, clown them and troll em. Nobody wants to lose their flight privileges at all. Not a soul. That's why niggas pay child support.

[B]

That's why that pesky child child thing. Yeah.

[A]

Yo, I hate to break the child is reason number six that are paying their child support. I'm hate to break it to y' all out there. We doing it for our passport. We're doing it so our license don't get suspended. What else we the kid is like fifth.

[C]

Yo, that was special. Yeah.

[A]

She. Man, you don't want to get arrested. It the warrant that gets annoying. It's tough. It's tough. Oh my God. I feel bad for J a little bit.

[B]

I tried my. My business but was like, damn, like.

[A]

Just trying to catch a break.

[B]

You just had the incident over there. Just want to go on this flight.

[A]

And go home and look at this.

[B]

I'm going tell you something.

[A]

That be the thing that flight home. You just trying to get home.

[C]

Trying to go home.

[A]

You did everything you had to do do.

[C]

Probably plan on going to sleep, relaxing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Was tired, stayed up.

[C]

You know you can't go there.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I mean some of us are more privy to what took place Right. So many years ago. But is it a crazy world where we could just sit on a flight? I don't with you. You don't with me. I'm not going to say nothing.

[B]

I mean John F. Was on the flight. They was on the flight before John.

[C]

F. Was on the flight. Oh yeah. They did speak about it.

[B]

I think they was. I think they was next to each other or across from each other.

[C]

I think they all over us. Jeezy and Gucci been on a flight.

[A]

Like that's one of the. But that's one of the other reasons I kind of that. That I'm looking at this a certain.

[C]

Way because the main ain't do nothing when he was in this fight. Gotcha.

[B]

Well, he didn't know.

[A]

Be clear. John. When it was John 50, it was a heavyweight match once upon a time. Yeah. It was Big Dog versus Big Dog. And I feel like there are Big dog rules. So 50 and ja I think should be able to be on a plane. And 50 is another genius. So he ain't right. We flying ain't about to this but these. I don't.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't know. I don't know. That's the same. I don't know if it's the same story because the crew is always going to try to get something done, of course. So they could send it to and earn points.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I don't.

[A]

I don't. I don't. I'm glad none got shaken.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Glad all the video was out. Congrats to Yale and Murder on their podcast. And I think their podcast is something they would be great at even without all of these shenanigans. I think that's just a. That's just a funny story to tell. If you never troll that nigga.

[B]

Right.

[A]

If you don't say nothing to him on your first episode. Second episode. Yo, so we is with y'. All. Oh, we here.

[B]

To me, this is better.

[A]

You got it.

[C]

Not the. What? Just have a picture of him sitting.

[B]

In front of y'.

[A]

All. We.

[B]

The whole time. That's all you need.

[A]

And then I'm such a. I might have took the video. So silent.

[B]

Look.

[A]

Went home and put a voiceover dub right on this.

[C]

Embellish.

[B]

Embellish it. I took down.

[A]

Look at this right here. Sitting here looking stupid. All this. Oh, my.

[B]

You know, on the other side of the coin, man, if it's. When it's up, it's up forever.

[C]

Yeah, that's.

[B]

Some niggas still live by that rule. Some niggas still. I get that. I mean, still live by it. And we. I'm not judging it. I mean, certain things happen that you feel like is a line of kids that was crossed, you can't go back from. I can respect that. I just feel like once it gets down the line and now it's the man next to the man next to the man that's carrying that beef, and we 50 and 60 years old. I think that shit is crazy. Well, you were just telling a story about your brother incident, and you was like, it was up. Not up, but you would check every once in a while to see what it is. Yeah, but we weren't carrying the beef. He was carrying the beef. Oh. Cause he was doing.

[C]

No, he was doing that to make sure they wasn't gonna be on his ass.

[B]

No, I thought. I thought.

[A]

Yes, actually, over there.

[B]

I thought it was mutual. I didn't think that he was still. It's mutual to the extent that somebody trying to kill you. You ain't got that many options but to defend yourself. But it wasn't like my brother wasn't looking for the beef. He was trying to stop the shot. I went to the board to stop it. I was like, yo, you know, this shit should be dead. Blah, blah, blah, blah. And dude was like, y' all just saying that so the beef will stop. And we was like, yeah, yeah. But that's why dude ended up in jail. That's why he ended up dying in a shootout with the police. His brain ain't working that way. Excuse me.

[C]

Just making sure them stay on the other side.

[B]

I did. I bet you did check that every month. Oh, he home. Yeah. And he was looking for. He was looking. Yes. So he was saying the last time he saw my brother, he. He tried to shoot him in the gun jam. So, yeah, Then he got locked up, and he, like, got locked up for, like, 15 years. And I was checking that just to see when he's going to get parole. And then eventually he got parole because he caught a certain kind of charge. Megan's Law. I could keep track because he had to check in every month. He was up in Pittsburgh, and I was like, university of Pittsburgh. Nah, I'm good. I'm busy that day, whatever day that is.

[C]

Carney melon.

[B]

Nah. Fuck. Yes, I'm with you.

[A]

Stay alive.

We believe in love. And she not only had a big party for him, but she had his favorite group, Bone Thugs in Harmony, show up to perform at his birthday party. Yeah, I thought it was great. I thought it was dope. I thought it was beautiful. I love to see them loving each other in public, but the Bone Thugs thing was a nice touch. And it just made me think, like, if. If my wife or somebody were to, like, throw a party for me, who would I. Who could they surprise me with as a performer? That would be dope like that, that's all. I just wonder. It really made me wonder who we all would want to pop up with.

I was thinking like, why everybody I don't want Mark to get of these.

[A]

Topics is like having a gun in the car.

[B]

When you going to be with.

[C]

Crazy.

[A]

All right.

[C]

The. The part.

[A]

You know the question. Oh.

[B]

You know, it was all love. Oh, I think that. Oh, man, that is hilarious.

[A]

Now you got me reminiscing. Man, I can't believe what they did to Drew Drake, man. I was outside for Marvin's room. Marvin's room. Outside is some of the best clubs.

[C]

When that first dropped.

[A]

Yeah. Yo, we couldn't believe that so many women that had been drinking. When the night was over, you could just tell who was sad about they ex. Not what. Wait, what?

[D]

Top of their lungs.

[A]

Yo. They would if what I would be looking from the VIP of the. That nigga Fuck who. Let me see.

[B]

Let me see.

[A]

Who might have some action tonight. Damn it. Y' all ruined Marvin's room. Drake jerks. I could see Kendrick in his house when Marvin's room was out too.

[B]

I'm just saying we could do better.

[A]

Kendrick was always just plotting. This has been a 10 year plan.

[D]

Anyway, speaking of big three, did you guys see the J. Cole roll, roll out? Got the Civic, got the CD player.

[B]

That was fly.

[C]

I'm not mad at it.

[A]

I love it.

[C]

I'm not mad at it. And it's on brand. It's not cold. That's why I like it. It don't look like it's nothing. That's like he's trying to. That's his.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That's what he did before bringing it back.

[A]

Yeah. Yo, you that been clipping up the pod.

[D]

They've been clipping it up wrong and.

[A]

I'm here to fix it. Okay. Yes.

[B]

About time.

[A]

Yeah. Yo, I'm Joe Budden. That's Ice. We don't even look alike. But y' all keep putting ice takes on me instead of him. Yeah.

[B]

Put his name. Yeah.

[A]

His ad officially spelled right. Ice spelled the right way. No underscores or nothing. That's really the Officially ice. All week long, Joe Button says he hates the fucking J. Cole. And he sound like, yo, I didn't say anything.

[C]

This stuff I've been arguing with these I say now.

[A]

1.

[C]

I. I didn't say that.

[A]

There was a segment where you went for the art.

[B]

No. You didn't like it?

[C]

No, no, no, no. What I like, I said. And we was in agreement.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Disc two was the better disc to me, and I said that. I said I was cool on disc one, and they making it seem like I on a whole project. That's not what happened.

[A]

And that's coming off of your mixtape critique.

[C]

Like, four freestyles. And. And I was able to explain why that ain't. That ain't got nothing to do with it.

[D]

I didn't think that you were hard.

[C]

On the up at all, because you heard the entire. You heard everything I said, all the.

[D]

Tweets that I saw. It was like, I don't think that.

[C]

They listen to this podcast, yo. Some of these people, like, I know one dude in particular who's like a die hard J. Cole, Stan. I fuck with him, and he was going crazy, and I'm like, yo, bro, did you hear the whole review? Like, you saying it Like, I shitted on this project. We were sitting here fighting, saying that, yo, the better songs was here. These records record, like, disc two was great to me. Disc one, not so much. What's the problem with that? Disc two is better.

[D]

I like this, too.

[B]

Better. I like this one.

[A]

No right or wrong.

[B]

There's no wrong.

[A]

That's the other thing. Y' all are stating y' all's opinions, and y' all could do that like people. I guess it gets murky when people start stating their opinions as if they are facts for other people to feel it. And. And I don't think that we'd be trying to do that up here. No, I certainly don't.

[C]

My thing be, if you're gonna debate or if you have something to respond to what I said, then address what I said. When y' all telling me, like, I put a screenshot up of me listening to Old Dog. Oh, don't come around now. Don't come around you just on the whole album. Well, I did not. And Old Dog, when we reviewed it, I said, this is the first one that I ran back multiple Times So it's still on brand with what I said.

[A]

Ice. You do a lot of turning a puddle into a pool in an acting surprise. Surprised. Like even your tweet that you got off which was just want to say Wally's album is better than everything that ever came out after everything like that.

[C]

Has nothing to do with. Well, I'm. I'm speaking to my review up here that they were responding to. That's all I'm talking about. I do believe that every album that's dropped after Wale's album his was better than that has nothing to do with this.

[A]

Got a lot of views.

[B]

I agree with that.

[A]

They be putting on me. What I'm saying is his hit your mixtape critique a portion of the album critique along with tweets like that be putting smut on me. That I'm not saying one and two. The fucking Wale tweet. Sure. Of course, you know I love that album as well. But there's been a Wale J. Cole thing in the past. 1 and 2. To say that right this second is the same thing I said about Chris Brown and Puka. To say it right now. You know.

[B]

Know what?

[A]

You know what that does.

[D]

There's a provocateur tweet. Yeah, that's okay.

[C]

Okay. So you know what? Cool. But I was listening to the album and I tend to tweet about what I'm listening to at times. You do all the time. It don't matter if it's old, new. I and. And a thought will come to mind. And I just tweeted and I was listening to Wale's album. I'm like, damn, this is really good.

[A]

Yeah, but you too famous for a lot of the. You do.

[C]

Oh, so what I don't give a about that. I'm gonna. I'm gonna stay me. That's who I. I am.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

All right. I'm gonna stay me.

[A]

Once we get into the I am who I am.

[C]

What do you want me to do, Joe? If this is who I am and I talk about that's how I've been using my Twitter since I started it is to look most of the time is.

[A]

I got it. I'm. I'm listen. It's your word. I'm just telling you how some of it can come off. I'm not telling you to change. I love you no matter what, nigga.

[B]

What I respect it. I hate you.

[D]

J. Cole says he's still releasing the It's a Boy tape. He just didn't want to Flood us. Pause if necessary.

[A]

Releasing the what?

[C]

It's a boy.

[D]

It's a boy. When he made the little list of all his albums, the fall off being last. It's a Boy was before that. He says it's done. He just didn't want to flood us with the mixtape and the mixtape and the album which is a double disc.

[A]

JCole is married. So I'm going to save my really great jokes and bits that I came up with during the week. I hate when that happens. Be right back, honey. Driving across the country to sell this album that's on itunes. Hand in hand, you know, talking to the fans.

[C]

Then we going on tour.

[A]

Then you know, the other yo. Yeah, he got it. I. I love all of this, by the way. I love it.

[C]

That's why I can't. I can't.

[A]

I can't on it because it's too great. But if you think it is funny and then once I start remembering that North Carolina is college capital of the universe. J. Cole.

[D]

He says he seems like he is retiring. Did like an AMA on his website bulletin board. Says he's not trying to put another album. He's going to focus on production for other artists. For other artists. He said even in that it's not necessarily making the beat. It's helping with direction, production.

[A]

He didn't word it like that. He said because his wording was a little funny. He said something like what was the tricky semantics. I have no interest in putting out a J. Cole album right now or at the moment.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That don't mean nothing.

[A]

That and that could mean it ain't saying nothing. Honestly.

[C]

That could mean again with this whole. The fall off. J. Cole has fallen off. And now I'm doing things as a. You know. Remember he had to kill. Kill that one work.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Personality. He could do some other rapping.

[D]

I could see that.

[A]

If I feel like recording, then I'll record. I may release here and there.

[C]

But I have he got freedom. So that's. That's. He could do whatever the he want right now.

[A]

Truthfully true. Shout out to Cole, man.

[C]

And the numbers looked the predict projections talking too.

[A]

Freeze the projections.

[C]

Look, talk to.

[A]

Talk to these Bruno Mars fans for a minute. Yo, who was y'?

[B]

All.

[A]

Where they at again? Again?

[C]

I just told you stop playing Mars fans in here.

[A]

Where they at? Where they at? Who was it now? Lost their boys. It was Parks and. And something that rhyme with Park.

[B]

I still think. I still think Bruno would. Would have ate him up.

[D]

But we'll see in a couple weeks.

[B]

We'll see.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It won't be a mystery. No.

[A]

The point was looking like about 300 on the board. Sheesh.

[B]

Is that. Yes. Is it 300 now?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Looking like about 3 hundo on the board, though.

[B]

What's on going see. Let's see. Let's see what Bruno do.

[C]

Damn.

[A]

It's not going to be that.

[D]

It probably will be that.

[B]

I know, but I'm trying to.

[D]

It probably will not be through.

[A]

I don't think it'll be that either.

[C]

It's not going to be that.

[D]

We'll see, but we shall see.

[A]

I've been wrong before. Not often, but I've been wrong before. I don't think he's doing that. I just don't feel like that song is picking up the.

[B]

It ain't.

[C]

It's not. It's not doing this.

[A]

He got the joint with Gaga that she performed. I like that song too.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

If the world to you, I do like that song. That's dope and Gaga with us, man. If any of the whites got an invite to the Bad Bunny show, I'm glad it was Gaga.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

She know what I like about her. She don't never break character, like at all. That little.

[C]

It might not be a character.

[A]

Which is even scarier. Right. If that's really her all the time. For real. Because when she accepted the award, she go up there. She do the whole neurotic.

[D]

Yeah, I think she's that.

[C]

I think she might. Yeah.

[A]

I'm about to say she got up there while she's performing. She's still giving it to. She can't. Maybe she got Tourette's or something. She was up there. I just think she's such a great performer. Not even just artist, just a performer, period. Act, actress. She. She's great at that shit.

[D]

She is.

[C]

She is. She is great.

[B]

Since we're speaking to artists who are. Who they are, Summer Walker, there was an issue with her meet and greet, and I know y' all were talking about it ahead of time because I think you know the story. She was just standoffish. So Summer Walker did a meet and greet and there's a lot of complaints. A lot of fans want their refunds. And because they said she was standing standoffish, she wasn't communicative. She didn't do eye contact. She did like. She didn't even want to be there. So there's some backlash. She's received backlash about her meet and greet.

[D]

I wonder if it was from the actual people that went to the meet and greet.

[C]

So I saw some of the.

[D]

A lot of times things get. We get backlash, but from the people that weren't wronged.

[C]

I ain't gonna hold you, man. This personally. Had I paid for a meet and greet and got this, I would have been underwhelmed. Like, she was sitting in, like a director's chair, it looked like. And was kind of like the persons come stand right. People come stand right here. And she was just. But question, like, people trying to hand, like, oh, I made it, you know, you know, you know, the regular. Hey, I made a painting for you.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Question. Would you have bought a Summer Walker meet and greet?

[C]

No, not.

[D]

Why would you not have bought a Summer Walker?

[C]

I won't buy some. No. Because I have low expectations.

[D]

Because you know who she is as a personality.

[A]

Correct. It took him 30 years to learn Lauryn Hill's greatness.

[C]

So, no, that ain't got nothing to do.

[A]

Not buying this summer. Shut up.

[C]

Never.

[A]

Look, Joe, Joe got him about to explain.

[B]

Here's the thing, though, like, because earlier we was talking with Corey and he stated that if you have anxiety and, you know, you can't, you know, show up like that.

[C]

Meet and greet.

[B]

Don't do a meet and greet.

[A]

All right.

[D]

I disagree.

[A]

Don't bring. Ain't nothing else. Corey asks me, that's not.

[C]

That's not what it is.

[D]

If I was Walker fan enough to pay a thousand dollars to go to the meet and greet, I know who Summer Walker is, and I embrace that. And I'm probably not going to be disappointed that she's standoffish because I know that she's standoffish.

[B]

Right. She has a history of it, right?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

She's let it.

[C]

As long as she's social anxiety.

[A]

She's let it be known from day one. It's social anxiety. It's the germaphobe thing. It's a lot of things.

[C]

Like, she didn't touch. She didn't tour for a minute. I disagree. Who tore a lot of that now.

[A]

We disagree or what? This is.

[C]

No, no. I disagree that if, you know, you have all of these social issues, don't do a meet and greet where your fans are going to want to come meet and greet you because now it looks like a money grab we talking.

[A]

About, and it may be a money grab.

[C]

Who is a money grab? So your fans have a reason to be upset. And if I pay $1,000 or how much was the meet and greet? I don't know, whatever the dollar amount was for the meet and greet. And then I come to meet you and greet you and you stand off as you might not want to shake my hand because of whatever the case may be, fam. Don't do a meet and greet if you know you have social anxiety.

[A]

He's speaking from ideals again. Yeah, yeah. I agree with you.

[B]

I see both sides.

[A]

First of all, I guarantee you, like park said, it's three people complaining and.

[D]

They'Re probably not the person that was actually probably like the girlfriend or boyfriend of the summer. Walker fan.

[A]

Yo. Very rarely, very rarely do you buy a meet and greet ticket and everything is set up the smoothest at the meet and greet.

[D]

That part two.

[A]

You often don't have a lot of time with the act. Sometimes security is rushing you out of there. Sometimes your picture might be blurry and they still say, yo, get the fuck out of here. It ain't all peaches and cream at the meet and greet.

[D]

And sometimes it was supposed to be after the show or now it's before the show or vice versa. So the artist isn't even in the the right head space.

[A]

Yeah, sometimes you. Yeah, exactly. You're springing it on the artist. The. The time is up. We running late. If it's before the show, we got to get this done in a timely fashion so the real show can. There's so many moving parts that have to do with a meet and greet. But let's get to math. If we're charging any price that you. Any price that you could think of.500.

[C]

I'mma look for the price.

[A]

But most times they like, well, I've been out the game for a while, so let me. Shut up. But 100, 150, 175. Chris Brown or some of the novelty acts get to charge more. But at 100 and $150 in 20 to 40 cities, nobody is turning that down because you're an introvert. It adds up is most of the. Most of the time that that meet and greet money and the merch money and. And the after party money are of convincing incentive to even get you to go in the store.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, that's true.

[A]

You counting on that money. You're doing it for the money. Nobody's saying, yo, I hate. I hate the fans being as close to me and I hate germs. So I'm leaving a quarter million dollars on the table. No, you're not.

[B]

And I think I hear Ish's point too, which is that, you know, don't sign up for something because it puts the fans in the bad position. Don't sign up as an artist to do the thing that you. You can't do well. But the reason why I ultimately land on Summer Walker's side on this is simple. Again, the story is known. If it were her first tour and people didn't know and the fans were caught off guard, I think as a fan, it's reasonable to expect the artist to be, quote, unquote, normal. But after all this time, all the information, the person who spends a thousand dollars or $500 on the summer Walker thing, they're a super fan. So they know she has anxiety. They know who she is already, and they still signed up for it. So that's why I, like, I was.

[A]

Gonna add that the people at the meet and greets are not your normal fans. You can almost wipe a booger on their fucking shirt, and they're gonna go frame it, right?

[C]

But. But for me, that's still more reason. Like, yo, you being in a room with 10,000 people, right? It's not the same as you being in a room with 500. It's not the same as you being in a room with 50 or 100 people. Dawg, if somebody spends their money, and this is a problem, if somebody spends their money and you know you can't deliver, don't take their money. Oh, bro, am I saying something? You're not saying wrong, but you're speaking in a perfect world.

[B]

Yeah, but I don't even think it's a perfect world situation.

[C]

I mean, nigga's gonna take your money even if they can't, and then I have a right to. When you took my money and getting. Nobody saying they wrong Summer Walker side in this. If you picking a side. Yo, fam, the people not wrong. If I paid you for and you didn't deliver on what I paid you for, I have a right to be mad at you.

[B]

I agree with that. Here's where I see it a little different. I don't agree that she didn't deliver.

[C]

Technically, she did deliver.

[B]

That's what I'm saying. I think she delivered because, again, a meet and greet could look a lot of different ways. And if I'm going to a meet and greet with somebody with social anxiety, I'm not expecting them to be hugging me and jumping on me and doing it. I'm expecting them to take the picture. I get why a fan who doesn't know who will be disappointed. I'm just saying, at this point, after all these years, you should know what. What a meet and greet with her is gonna look like versus A meet and greet with Chris Brown. Chris Brown gonna jump on your lap. He's gonna take great pictures. I don't expect that from her. So if I sign up for it, it's kinda like, yes, you have a right to be mad if an artist is late, but if I sign up for a Lauryn Hill show at this point I'm gonna sound crazy complaining in 2026 about her being late. You know what I mean? Not that I'm wrong in the complaint, but I know what I'm signing up for. That's just how I see it.

[C]

Gotcha.

[A]

Got it. And ISS example, she has a choice and I don't know that to even be true.

[C]

Yeah, that's the problem. I don't, I'm just saying, I don't. We booking this and you're gonna do X amount.

[B]

Do the best you can with it.

[C]

Yeah, I'm on, I'm on the side of the customer in most instances, bro. Because it's like, yo, if I go buy a sandwich, you can say, yeah, you got a sandwich. That don't mean my sandwich isn't.

[D]

It's a slippery slope though, because like, how much can you expect out of someone to the meet and greet?

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[C]

Well, that's the other thing again, like.

[D]

Oh, he didn't hug me, he didn't.

[C]

Give me a kiss. But that's the problem because you watch with certain I'm not and not just Chris Brown. Like some other people started to kind.

[D]

Of up their meet and greet.

[C]

So now you get, you might walk in with an expectation and Summer Walker has went from being completely distant from everything to saying, I'm working on it a little bit better and you know, doing a little bit different at the show. So the fan might think, think, oh, and now she's offering a meet and greet. Okay, maybe now I'm going to get a little bit more than I might have would have gotten three years ago, four years ago or something like that.

[B]

And I think they did cuz three or four years ago she'd have ran out the room.

[C]

She wouldn't. Three or four years ago she wouldn't.

[A]

Even have did it.

[B]

That's facts.

[C]

Right? Three or four years ago we canceling the tour because I don't want to go out here with all y' all people.

[B]

Right, right.

[C]

So they might think there was some progression and that the meet and greet is going to go differently and wow, this is all I got. Like, I mean, some of that stuff look, look like some of the People had, like, drawings, and you know how they come up with it?

[B]

That's what I'm saying.

[C]

And they couldn't even. She was just like, oh, okay, yeah, give it over there like that. Even if you could have said thank you, took it, put it to the side.

[B]

I get it.

[C]

People felt like they got robbed.

[B]

I get it, I get it, I get it. I'm not mad at the fans for feeling away. I just, you know, I just. And ultimately, like I said, if it were her first tour, I'd feel differently about it. Yeah. That's all.

[A]

But I do feel like even though it's not her first tour, she should attempt to mask. Mask it better.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I can say that to Isha's point, like, if you're going to continue to be a touring act, then at some point, learn how to fake a smile, bruh.

[C]

I think. I think we. We can move forward, but I just was having a conversation. Same thing about basketball. I think that we are underestimating people's dollars. Like, fam, Somebody might have saved up their money to. To come see you perform. Somebody might have saved up their money for that meet and greet. The same way when niggas in the NBA be taking rest days and nothing wrong with them. This single mother or this single father might have saved up two or three months and booked it in advance when you come into their city. And now you don't play. Like, yo, you don't get no money back. You get what I'm saying? Like, yo, dawg, we leaving the customer, the consumer, and the fans out of these equations now. And I think that's fucked up.

[B]

So then.

[A]

No, I was gonna say he said. You said you was talking to your man about that. Oh, so you must have been talking about how the Utah Jazz should be arrested.

[C]

Why? What happened?

[A]

Jaren Jackson. Jaren Jackson's first game. They go into the fourth quarter with a seven point lead. As soon as the fourth quarter starts, they take Jaren Jackson out the game. They take marketing out the game. They take all their best players out.

[B]

Three of them.

[C]

I forget the other one, but yeah.

[A]

They take the best players out of the game. They send their bench out there. Of course the Magic come back, came back and win the game. And this is only happening because you want a pick.

[C]

You want a better pick.

[B]

Trust the process, baby.

[C]

It's horrible.

[B]

Phillies fighting.

[A]

Yup.

[B]

Shout out to Sam Hinkey.

[A]

The Wizards are doing the same thing to the Knicks and they should be arrested. The Knicks get their pick. If it's not top eight Protected. So if it's the ninth pick and after the Knicks get the pick, teams are trading for injured players playing salary cap games and tank games, and they doing it in plain sight. This already happened to the Knicks with Dallas when. When Dallas tanked the very last game of the season in that Derek Lively draft. And then they got the 10th pick, which they got to keep for whatever reason. But Adam Silva at some point, point has to do something about this because they playing in your face. Yeah. And they up these. They up these trades that are contingent upon, hey, top five protected. You get the traffic. There's too much money at stake, and these players are too great to play like this.

[C]

I agree, I agree, I agree.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

The Wizards, they finding loopholes. I went to the game the other day.

[A]

Which game?

[C]

Wizards. Nuts.

[A]

It'll be so good for the Wizards if all of this tank and they still end up. They giving the Knicks.

[B]

Yeah. Hope some spurs should happen.

[A]

I know they're to going, you know, they're gonna be all right. They're gonna be all right. What else? What else? What else? Well, oh, also to Ish's point about just customers getting robbed. Did you guys see the Chipotle dude on that. That call the other day that got leaked?

[D]

I did not.

[C]

No.

[B]

What happened?

[A]

Oh, God. I gotta play it for y'.

[C]

All.

[A]

I know you got it. Gotta play it for y'.

[C]

All.

[D]

Love to hear some Chipotle beats.

[A]

This dude was on his company fourth quarter call or something like that and said basically that he learned and the company learned that 60% of their audience makes 100 grand or more, which enables them to raise their prices and lean into. Lean into that. Yada, yada, yada, yada.

[C]

Please say that.

[A]

Learn that 60% of our core users are over $100,000 a year in income.

[C]

And average household income. That gives us confidence that we can lean into that group in a more.

[A]

Meaningful way, whether it's the solo occasion.

[C]

And for group occasions to really drive meaningful transaction performance in the year.

[D]

Run it up. That's what he said.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Jack up these prices.

[B]

That's a fancy way of saying bleed them for money.

[D]

For sure.

[A]

You said you're not mad at that.

[C]

If you talking about market research and you figuring out who your primary demographics are are now we can start offering more services that we could charge. A higher price point to reach that.

[B]

Demo is you taking away from that. See, I heard a different. I thought he was gonna raise the prices for the shit they was already giving them.

[C]

See, we don't have enough. But I mean, that was a real.

[A]

From here, it sound like you believe what he's saying. And most people, and me included, hear it as okie doke.

[C]

What you mean is okie dope. Huh? Yeah.

[A]

I'm with raising your prices because of. Of inflation, just cost of things in the market or just because of how you were doing what it cost to run your company. I'm not necessarily with raising it because I learned that my audience has more because I can.

[B]

Right?

[C]

Yeah. You think every time somebody raised their price and blame it on cost of goods or inflation, it'd be that?

[A]

No. Yeah, no.

[C]

That's why I think this is regular shit that's happening. They just found some information. Oh, shit. They can afford. Afford it.

[A]

Oh, then very, very different. Hearing it.

[C]

Oh, for sure.

[A]

Thinking that it's happening and hearing the CEO of a company say, I'm only. We're raising our prices.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because y' all make too much. And we learned that. Yeah, that was the most interesting part.

[C]

That's not what I got from the phone call.

[A]

These. These companies are buying data. Oh, for sure. From everybody.

[D]

Whoever.

[A]

You know where that come from, Whoever is selling it.

[C]

Look, that Chipotle rewards.

[B]

True.

[C]

That's all it is. Every time you put your phone up and track all your. They buy that data and they see your spending habits and say, oh, you making boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And it's 60% of y' all doing it.

[A]

I'm gonna play it again just to hear.

[C]

At 60% of our core users are.

[A]

Over a hundred thousand dollars a year.

[C]

In income in average household income. That gives us confidence that we can lean into that group in a more meaningful way. Whether it's the solo occasion and.

[A]

Or group occur occasions to really drive.

[C]

Meaningful transaction performance in the year. Yeah, see, I didn't. Yes. I say lean into that group in a more meaningful way. It's like I'm trying to. Now I'm still with you. I'm gonna start offering them more stuff at a higher price point so we could. Yeah. I didn't take a start what y' all took from it.

[B]

I mean, I think on his face what you said is right. I think you're 100% right in how you heard it. I just don't trust it.

[C]

I mean, that's another conversation. I'm talking based on what? Like, yo, if I know that a big part of our demo can afford reward this, I'm gonna start offering them this where I might be the hesitant or resistant to offer them something at a highest price point.

[B]

So what kind of stuff can you offer them other than rewards?

[A]

Yeah. Cause like what, it's Chipotle.

[B]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[C]

And he said, yo, rather a solo event or a group event. That might have been a broader scale. It might have been corporate events. It might have been other. I don't know. Again, I need more information, but I.

[D]

Could hear how it sounds. Nasty.

[C]

We need more information.

[B]

I just don't. Yeah.

[C]

I'm in business to make money, dog. You want to talk about. Look at all the layoffs going on is laying people off even though they. They revenues are up. Amazon. This shit is crazy.

[A]

Really?

[C]

Like, yo, big businesses always go do what big business is going to do, always, whether we agree with it or not. It's just the way of the world. Like, I. I think, you know, I think it's unfortunate. I don't fuck with that. But this shit is getting rough out here, so I just think it's par for the course. Give a fuck about you.

[A]

We getting out of here soon. I do have a serious question for y', all, if y' all can help.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

What's up? How serious is it? Not too serious. Can y' all think of some things that are cornier than guy twins doing content together?

[D]

Whatever that Travis Scott, James Harden was this weekend, I would put on that list.

[B]

Are you talking about twin brothers or just acting like they twins?

[A]

No, actual twins.

[D]

[C]

[B]

Oh, just salute.

[A]

I didn't see her name in the news recently. Why'd you write that up there?

[B]

It's been in the news today. Probably as we were hitting showtime, it popped up. So that's probably why you missed it. Dochi. Salute to dochi. She seems to have come out as a lesbian, affirming her truth, affirming her identity. For a long time, she'd identified as bisexual. She'd said that and talked about it. And then she updated her Instagram profile and added to a list of other things lesbian. So, you know, I always love when people can live their truth and live out loud and be happy. And she seems to be healthy and happy. So shout out to Dolce. One of my favorite artists and, you know, setting the example.

[A]

Definitely, definitely, definitely. Shout out to Dolce. Is there any reason that the Epstein files is up there?

[B]

Do you want to know the truth?

Yeah.

Yep.

[B]

Yeah, it's been dethroned or detitled because of the Epstein files. There's a bunch of wild happening right now in the government.

[A]

I didn't hear.

[B]

Yeah, we'll talk about another time. We run out of time. We got legends in the building. But it's worth the talking about at some point.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Then we will get to. Saddens me to hear that they have not returned Savannah Guthrie's mom yet.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So quick prayer out for that family. Hopefully she's fine and we'll see what happens with that. But yeah, it's just me up that every morning on the news it's a new report and they didn't get this lady's. Get this lady's mom back yet. Final chance to get anything off your hearts, your souls, your spirits.

[B]

No.

[A]

All right. And say less. Yes, sir. Ladies, let me hear you out there. Yeah. Hopefully y' all have enjoyed this broadcast as much as we've enjoyed delivering it to you. Keep us in your prayers. Lord knows we need to be there. Until the next time we bid you adieu. Farewell. Adios, Arrivederchi. Hasta la vista. Au revoir. So long, goodbye or a simple head nod will suffice. Remember, life is a series of moments and moments past. So let's make this one last. But after the hook. I can't believe some of y' all out there hate on this. I can't understand it.

[C]

Not from New York. They a see, they didn't see what they do. They not from.

[A]

They don't know. They don't know. Real quick.

[D]

If you find yourself saying some things that sounds like you're kind of agreeing with like the racists in the world.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Maybe you should rethink.

[C]

Maybe you're wrong the way that you think it.

[A]

Yeah, I agree.

[C]

It's like Spanish Benjamin.

[B]

What?

[D]

Just cuz it's not aimed at you. Yeah, it still is. But even if you like to think that it's not.

[A]

Until next time, man. Remember, life is a series of moments and moments past. So let's make this one last as if it's all we have. And last but certainly not least. The baddies are insecure, the stagnant women want to travel and the closed minded women want you to teach them things. Grab you a Tylenol, you might need it. Anybody got any weak plans? Anything interesting happening this week?

[D]

Taking my car up.

[B]

If you happen to be in Saginaw Michigan this week, Wednesday night, I'll be there speaking. Make sure you come through. If you're second on mission, you ain't got else to do. Just come. I'm going to Puerto Rico tomorrow.

I don't know how many Dycman nights you had Teddy Riley, but this right here. Till next time. You hold it down. And remember, the only thing stronger than hate is love.

[D]

That's right.

[A]

Is love.

[B]
