Episode Overview

In Episode 906, titled "Carnival Is Over," Joe Budden and the crew (Ish, Parks, Mark Lamont Hill, and others) dive into a blizzard-afflicted week, discussing everything from canceled flights and snowed-in routines to nuanced breakdowns of recent controversies in pop culture, award shows, and hip-hop. They tackle major moments including the BAFTA ableism/racism uproar, the ongoing TI vs. 50 Cent saga, Floyd Mayweather’s financial rumors, and sharp social commentary about viral misinformation, AI legacies, and privacy. Sprinkled throughout are their signature digressions, jokes, and vulnerability, all set in the familiar boisterous, irreverent tone.

---

I. Blizzard Blues and Flipped Flights

[00:40 - 04:03]

• Joe calls Flip (Queens Flip), whose flights were canceled due to a blizzard.
• Flip expresses frustration at missing the pod: “I’m in here in the dark...when you think you juke the system and the system got you by the balls...” [01:54]
• Crew jokes about “system got you stuck at Carnival.” Joe and crew promise to hold it down, but note it’s not the same without Flip.
• After Flip’s call, the pod kicks off with snow banter, R&B nostalgia and shoutouts to those stuck indoors by the storm.

---

II. Winter House Routines & Chefs in the Blizzard

[10:20 - 13:25]

• Discussion of how everyone managed during the blizzard: getting fresh haircuts, home cooked meals, freestyling recipes, and indulgence with Uber Eats before the snow hit.
• Joe: “I think I gained a few pounds over the...little blizzard. I’m up to like, 216 now.” [11:07]
• Humorous sidetrack on tipping etiquette with delivery apps during snowstorms, “tifflation,” and whether you should lower the tip for short deliveries or expensive orders.

---

III. Who Makes The Cut During a Snow Day?

[13:30 - 16:55]

• Behind the scenes on whether the pod should skip for the blizzard. Joe jokes about essential podcast “personnel,” meetings, and how people would still miss the show:
  • “You never call off. It’s the perfect time to call off. We can have a meeting ... I’ll come right to your living room.” [15:58]
• Team debates road conditions, shoveling woes, and aches—“When it get cold, just start doing...”

---

IV. BAFTAs, Ableism, and Controversy Breakdown

[18:41 - 36:41]

Context:

A scene at the BAFTAs goes viral where John Davidson, a man with Tourette’s, says the n-word on air during presentation, in front of Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo. Outrage ensures.

Key Points:

• Joe: “It covers a lot. It seems to be a lot of people confused…I knew y’all would Be confused. So I was home looking up ableism just for y’all.” [19:14]
• Mark Lamont Hill explains the nuances of Tourette's, ableism, and the concept of “supercrip”; why people with Tourette’s often blurt out the most offensive things.
• Major outrage is also directed at BAFTA’s producers, who failed to edit the delay-broadcast segment:
  • “Two-hour delay…not a lot of broadcast. So that’s pretty inexcusable then.” [24:44]
• Debate: can both harm and no intent exist together? “It’s hurtful because of the history of the word. But he didn’t necessarily have any harmful intent. I think both...are true.” (Mark, [29:12])
• Consensus: blame falls on BAFTA for not editing with care—especially after warning about potential outbursts.

Notable Quotes:

• “That’s what they invented the delay for. Award ceremony.” (Joe, [30:33])
• “When was the last time anybody talked about the BAFTAs?” (Joe, [31:20])
• “If you look at it that way...this country has permitted and co-signed that behavior toward Black people.” (Joe, [26:21])

Outcome:

Calls for production team firings, deeper sensitivity to ableism without erasing real harm. Crew expresses empathy for John Davidson and criticizes reactive “engagement farming”.

V. TI vs. 50 Cent: Rap Beef Exploded

[39:47 - 65:06]

Timeline:

• TI calls out 50 Cent for Verzuz repeatedly.
• 50 avoids, posts memes, shares Crime Stoppers video, then escalates by posting pictures of TI’s wife.
• TI’s son King claps back, leading to a musical back-and-forth.

Analysis:

• Mark: “If I call you out on some rap shit, respond with some rap shit or ignore me ... Start talking about people’s wife, their kids, all that shit to me, way, way, way too far.” [46:21]
• Full playback and breakdown of TI's diss, lyrical analysis, and why rapping is the only way to “fight” 50 Cent’s Internet antics.
• Joe: “With 50 ... you’re not going to rap. So the rapping kind of just settles all with him.” [51:06]
• General consensus: 50’s moves are bullying, TI's response is justified, but everyone wishes both would “knock that shit off.”
• Crew mourns the escalation to family, noting the embarrassing spectacle for two successful Black men, and theorizes on who (if anyone) could mediate peace (Dre, Eminem, Jay-Z).

Notable Moment:

• “...everybody’s scared. They don’t say or...they play along. It keeps happening.”—Mark. [47:25]
• “I love the family flex. I don’t like using it to taunt someone who lost their mother. But I like family being a flex for a rapper.” (Joe, [56:21])

• Team debates why rich athletes keep going broke—expenses, mismanagement, lack of financial literacy, lifestyle inflation.
• Broader discussion: Is watching aging boxers in exhibitions helpful or exploitative?
• Old-school boxing economics vs. superstar athlete cautionary tales.

---

VII. Viral Gossip, AI Legacy, and Privacy Nightmares

[152:00 - 155:50]

AI Afterlife:

• Parks summarizes Meta’s new patent tracking online posts and “posting” on your behalf after death (AI ghosting):
  • “It tracks your social media posting…after you pass, it will continue on posting as you.”
• Crew recoils: “That’s disgusting...It’s creepy.” (Mark, [152:22])
• Additional concerns about Meta’s Ray-Ban facial recognition glasses, privacy invasion, and ‘stranger danger’ in a tech-driven world.

Viral Misinformation:

• Mark details how a Gavin Newsom quote was misrepresented online:
  • “By the time it got corrected, it was too late...This is why we have to actually study … look shit up before we get outraged.” [159:17]

You never call off. It's the perfect time to call off. We can have a meeting, and then we could have another meeting. I'm down the street. You can come to my house for a meeting. I'll come to you for a meeting.

[E]

He's lonely.

[A]

We got so many meetings. Could have just call off. Shot. He's leaving. I'll come right to your living room.

[B]

Me and Ian, meetings. I'm sick of talking to him now.

[A]

I get on the phone, you give me the update. Everything's great. Yeah, yo, really lining up. Killing. Yeah, man. Couldn't be in a better spot. It's that for 30 minutes, it's like, we got it. There's no update, bro. I'm not canceling. So here we are. And I just knew on Wednesday you guys would miss us. So much indeed. Come on. Y' all wouldn't give up. And no, I knew y' all would miss us. And two, I know y' all don't give a.

[F]

That's true.

[D]

Yeah, they don't.

[A]

They'd be cursed by the time Wednesday gets here. Yeah, y' all don't give a. About the road conditions, about who's on work, off work, nannies, who's sick, not feeling well. We. We are men of age. We up, we up.

[F]

There we are.

[A]

That means our bones, when it get cold, just start doing.

[D]

I had to throw profuse back yesterday.

[A]

Yes. Yeah.

[F]

I'm not gonna lie. That shoveling I work out, I keep myself in good shape, but that shoveling was whooping my ass. That's no as heavy as a boy.

[E]

This was no joke.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that Astoria snow was heavy.

[C]

No, earlier was a layup.

[B]

I hit it yesterday and later it got.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, man, I had to.

[C]

I was shoveling like 12 o' clock in the morning, man.

[E]

I mean, I was waiting for my guys to come in, plow it, but it was a lot. Just walking through that salt, that freshly salted walkway. Little slippery. A little bit, yeah. I'm with my hammy.

[F]

You're just waiting for the guys to come plow.

[A]

Mark, that was crazy. That was absolutely nuts.

[E]

That was crazy, man.

[A]

Plowable, too.

[E]

Look, let's know.

[B]

Yeah, that was why you dudes with

[A]

garages don't have the snow. Lawn mower with the chair. These get in the streets.

[F]

If I were you, I would have

[A]

the snowblower at least.

[D]

A snowblower.

[E]

Luis has a snowblower. Hey, Mark. I don't need a snowblower. What I'm going to do with it?

[B]

Mr. Hill?

[D]

I realized this time,

[B]

Mr. Hill, I needed a shovel.

[D]

You need a hill.

[A]

All right, I forgot I got it.

[C]

Oh, true, true, true, true.

[A]

Thought you made him switch his last name, too.

[E]

Keep her name and her son hyphenates.

[B]

She let you keep your shit.

[D]

Got it, got it, got it.

[A]

Listen, man, we got a great show lined up for you guys today. Plenty of exciting things to talk about. Indeed. And I made a list and checked it twice. Where do y' all want to begin? We could start with ti and 50, like some of y' all wanted to. I much rather start with BAFTA because it's so nuanced. Okay. It's so. It's so layered. It is. It covers a lot. It does. It covers a lot. And it seems to be a lot of people confused out there. I knew y' all would Be confused. So I was home looking up ableism just for y'. All. I had no clue. Because I'm able.

[F]

You have to tell me. I'm not. I'm not familiar.

[A]

Cause you're able.

[F]

That's probably true. Able Privilege.

[A]

Yes. It's. Yeah, it's another box in check.

[C]

Enlighten us.

[A]

Y' all don't know neither what ableism is.

[D]

No, no.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

This is why I'm keep it a buck.

[D]

I don't know what a lot of them shits mean.

[F]

A lot of isms.

[D]

I just feel like people throw them around and use them wrong channel.

[F]

Life.

[B]

That is the only ism I know, but go ahead.

[A]

Well, Michael B. Jordan. Jordan and Delroy Lindo went up there. Well, first of all, it doesn't start there. The Tourette's dude. What's his name?

[F]

The Tourette's dude.

[A]

Because the movie that Michael B. Jordan and Del or Lindo were presenting for was specifically about him and having Tourette's.

[D]

Okay, see, I didn't even know that part.

[E]

John Davidson.

[A]

John Davidson? Yeah. John Davidson. The movie was about him having Tourette's. They're up there to present.

[E]

Great movie, by the way. It's called I Swear.

[A]

See, I see. I think this is a. This is crazy. It's called I Swear.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

And then he did.

[A]

This is so layered. All right, let's see here.

[D]

Dara and I are delighted to be presenting the first BAFTA of the night for a vital part of movie making.

[E]

Jesus.

[B]

We're here to celebrate.

[A]

I'm gonna let it play again because it was fast.

[D]

For a vital part of movie making.

[B]

We're here to.

[A]

I gotta give the utmost respect to Delroy and Michael B. Jordan for the clash that they exhibited for sure while that was being screened. Like they just continued with the run of show.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

I read that Delroy left immediately after I saw some pictures from some after parties with a bunch of beautiful black people partying. Like we. Not even putting stock into that, but the Internet was in an uproar. Let me read this.

[D]

What?

[A]

One of the. Hannah Beachler. Here we go. The set designer for Sinners is speaking out about the experience, and she says, I keep trying to write about what happened at the BAFTAs, and I can't find the words. The situation is almost impossible. But it happened three times that night.

[F]

Oh, really?

[A]

And one of the three times was directed at myself on the way to dinner after the show and a third time at a black woman. I understand and deeply know why this is an impossible situation. I know we must handle this with grace and continue to push through. But what made the situation worse was the throwaway apology of if you were offended. She's talking about that first apology that came out because that was nuts. She continues, at the end of the show, at the end of the show, of course we were offended. But our frequency, our spiritual vibration is turned to a higher level than what happened. I am not steel. This did not bounce off of me. But I exist above, can't take away from who I am as an artist. And the black community, or at least the black people I saw on the Internet, were in a total uproar about this. They said that the guy is racist. It doesn't matter if he has Tourette's, because to say it, it has to be in your head already.

[F]

I've read everything I don't know a ton about Tourette's. Me neither, Me neither. So I think everyone has an absolute right to be offended. That's offensive.

[D]

What I never understood about Tourette's, and pardon the ignorance, again, I don't understand about Tourette's. I don't hear them just blurting out regular things. Anytime I see like someone with Tourette's, it's always curse words. So every time I've seen it.

[A]

Well, that is a huge part of Tourette's. There's an actual word for it where.

[D]

And again, part of my ignorance, where

[A]

there are things that you know not to say, that censor is turned off. So they just say those things. Like that is a huge part of.

[D]

Okay, right.

[E]

It almost makes an anti racist argument.

[A]

Right?

[E]

Because like the part in your brain that inhibits you from saying fucked up things is skewed. So you say the most fucked up thing you know, you say the most outrageous thing you know, you say the most offensive thing you know, I was on the air, I was in an airplane.

[D]

So just your filters removed.

[E]

But it's not just a filter. Cause that implies that, like, partly you want to say it, but you have good judgment to hold it back. It's not that.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

It's that you actually can't stop saying things. You have no control over saying things that are awful. So some people have Tourette's will say the most awful, offensive thing. Like, if I were to ask you what the most offensive word in the world you could say to somebody is that's in your head. Like, for example, if you had Tourette's, you would start saying the B word as an example.

[D]

Right, got it.

[E]

I get it. You don't Want to use it. You actually have a commitment to not use it.

[A]

Right.

[E]

So. But if you had Tourette's, you would start using it in this example because that's the worst thing you could say to somebody.

[C]

Got it.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

Thank you.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

That's why I give him some grace, you know what I mean?

[C]

One of the dudes from BAFTA quit. One of the black production dudes quit. He said that it wasn't even so much about what the gentleman said, it was about their handling of it. So they said that during the BAFTA shit, somebody went on a pro Palestine speech that was mad long.

[F]

And they edited that.

[C]

And they edited it. Yeah, but you didn't edit the man saying the nigga. They didn't have enough production etiquette to edit that part out.

[E]

It was a two hour delay.

[C]

Yeah. And they had a big delay.

[E]

Yeah, two hour delay. It was not a lot of broadcast.

[F]

So that's pretty inexcusable then.

[C]

True. And so to do, he quit. He said that wasn't the first pull that mic close again, racially driven or motivated thing that they've. That they've dropped the ball on in the last few years. And he was just like, he can't tolerate it no more. And he resigned.

[D]

And I was reading here, Warner Brothers executives immediately contacted BAFTA for them to pull it from the actual recording because again, it's not live. So somebody dropped the ball somewhere in there. Like they heard it happen in the building. Hey, make sure that that's bleeped out when this goes out on air. And it still went out on air.

[F]

I don't know if that would be dropping the ball. Like, that's your, like that's your job as the person's in charge of censoring. Like, that's like the reddest of flag. Like, oh, stop everything. Mark this down. Take this out.

[A]

Like, I mean, if you look at it. If you look at it that way or. Because then the other side says, oh, this is a trifecta. If I hit it, I could get. I could have niggas screamed at two prestigious black people while they're on stage. I could highlight Tourette's, which is what I want to do in this moment. And damn. What was the other one?

[E]

I forgot it.

[A]

The other one? I forgot it. Well, and you. I'll edit out the Palestine shit at the end. I'll get all the engagement. I'll get all the talk like in another world.

[F]

Oh, you're saying engagement, engagement goal.

[C]

This engagement goal.

[B]

Yeah, well, that, that and

[A]

that and this country Has Permitted and co signed that behavior toward black people.

[F]

This country. Is it England?

[C]

It's in England.

[A]

No, I don't give a fuck.

[F]

Yeah, I think it still applies.

[E]

Ain't no black in the Union Jack, as I used to say.

[A]

Yeah, so, I mean you could have just scratched checked all boxes with that one. If you're on some. There's no way you'll get me to believe that you edited the Palestine speech

[C]

and you couldn't consciously had enough conscience to edit that piece and not edit this most embarrassing thing. You know what I mean? Like this is the first.

[E]

Are they arguing? They didn't hear that one. Or that they couldn't know.

[F]

How could. Like it was in a. Perfect.

[C]

Heard it.

[E]

Yeah, I agree. I'm just wondering how they could even explain themselves.

[C]

They said the gentleman had a few outbursts throughout the evening and they couldn't have him leave because again the award was gonna be given.

[E]

I don't want him on the movie.

[B]

Yeah, no, I'm just saying that's what they said.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Like I didn't say. But that's what they said.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't want BB BBC.

[D]

They claim that the producers had been unaware what was said until after it aired.

[E]

That's what I was asking. Why would they. Excuse me. Yeah, that's what I was asking, what the excuse was.

[F]

I don't believe that.

[A]

I don't believe that. I don't believe that at all.

[C]

Inexcusable on a two hour delay, bro.

[D]

The reaction in the room will tell you something's off.

[A]

Not during an award ceremony where every segment is scrutinized. Every segment. The executives are watching the people backstage. You're not just nothing. Just by chance.

[F]

Listen, I'm in charge of censoring things up here. And there's multiple checks and there's however, you know, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 people in the room that will also check. There was however many hundreds of people, maybe thousands of people in that auditorium. Someone heard that and could have got that back from the people.

[D]

And again the company reached out to say, hey, we heard it. Make sure that's not in there.

[F]

Right.

[D]

And you still left it.

[A]

I just feel bad that John the Gentleman himself has to deal with, you know, and I'll read his apology. Let me find somebody find his apology. Because he said, listen, I'm not a racist. I'm not any of the things I apologize, whoever I heard, yada, yada. He said a lot of shit. But I'm sad that his experience has to be all the shit that is geared toward him because he was the one that blurted it out. Right.

[E]

I agree. That's where the ableism comes in for me. I think it's okay for black people to speak up and say, hey, this hurt us. This offended us. We should do that. It's also okay for him to say, y' all need to understand what this condition. Condition. That's what I was looking for. What this condition does for me. And they don't have to compete with each other. But I felt like some of the Internet debates was like, either he needs to be racist for me to be offended. You know what I mean? Or y' all need to not be offended for you to un. You know, in order for you to understand my medical conditions. Like both can happen. Like, this shit was hurtful because of the history of the word.

[D]

Correct.

[E]

But he didn't necessarily have any harmful intent. I think both of those things are true.

[D]

Right. Now that you've explained a little bit more. That's the side I'm on with it.

[E]

Yeah. That's how I would see it. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

If you trust it.

[F]

He said. I can only add that I'm. I am and always have been deeply mortified if anybody considers my involuntary ticks to be intentional or to carry any meaning. I wanted to thank BAFTA and everyone involved in the awards last night for their support and understanding inviting me to the broadcast. I appreciated the announcement to the auditorium in advance of the recording, warning everyone that my ticks were involuntary and are not a reflection of my personal beliefs. I was hardened by the round of applause that followed the announcement. Okay. And felt welcomed and understood in an environment that would normally be impossible for me.

[A]

Cause what are you gonna say? That that guy shouldn't be present in the room while they present this award? No. You can't say nothing.

[C]

Can't say that.

[D]

And I think they're making the announcement, letting the people know he's here. And this happens. You tried to kind of handle it

[C]

the best you could.

[F]

I think the only solution would. It should have been edited out.

[B]

Yes, that's it.

[C]

Which is even more reason why the production team should have been on their P's and Q's because we already gave you guys a forewarning that certain things could be said. He could have said bitch in the middle of the. She could have said. Because a lot of times they'll just say obscene curse words. You gotta be on point to edit

[B]

all of that stuff out, dog.

[A]

That's what they invented the delay for. Award ceremony.

[C]

Indeed.

[A]

Like, there was a time where live meant live. Yeah. And because. And people went up there just saying whatever the they wanted to say. You were it up for advertisers and whatever the run of show is especially they put. They put the delay there.

[F]

It is a two hour. A lot of the broadcasts that we see are a 30 second delay.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Which why you'll see sometimes on an award show where someone curses, they'll miss it because they're doing that live and they only have 30 seconds. They can't rewind the tape and fix it. But this is a two hour delay. They have all the time in the world to go back and chop that out.

[C]

In this political climate worldwide, you know somebody's gonna get up there and say something political. So. Yeah, again, your production team is no excuse in my opinion.

[A]

When was the last time anybody talked about the baftas? When was the last time we talked about the baftas?

[F]

I agree that this is probably to

[A]

go and learn what the BAFTAs.

[C]

There you go.

[A]

Yeah. What is this ceremony?

[C]

So this might have been gold for them.

[E]

So. So you think it's that you don't think it's the conspiracy of the actor purposely saying something to get attention to his movie?

[B]

No, no, no.

[D]

I don't put it on. Now that you've explained a little bit more. I don't put it on that.

[E]

I don't think so either. But that's what some people are.

[B]

Conspiracy. Are conspiracy.

[E]

I think that's what Corey was alluding to.

[B]

I mean, even if the actor did

[D]

do that, it still falls on production no matter what.

[A]

Right.

[B]

That's ableism.

[F]

Can you define ableism now that we've gotten this?

[E]

I had it.

[A]

Yeah, Sorry about that. I have it. Right. Ableism, Discrimination against disabled people. The tendency to regard people with a disability as incomplete, diminished, or damaged and to measure the quality of life with a disability against a non disabled standard.

[F]

Okay.

[E]

It's why we stopped using the R word. It's why we really stop saying words like flicked. It's like even like when I edit people now, if someone says like

[C]

we

[E]

had an HR problem and so I was paralyzed, you know, or I was paralyzed by the economy. Like we wouldn't use that language anymore.

[F]

Oh, wow.

[E]

You know what I mean? And then there's other things you can do. Like not regarding people with special needs is like either like amazing or like, like super. They call it super crip where like you. Where you're either like, you said that one more time. Super crip is like the language that disability studies people use.

[A]

I think that's nipsey.

[E]

All right. Yeah. Not. Not that one.

[B]

Recipes rest in peace to nip.

[E]

But this idea that we tend to think people with special needs are either like, have these magical powers or they're superhuman. Have some. We say growing up, if you can't see, you must have. Have super special hearing. You know what I mean?

[B]

We add this stuff you used to say growing up or today they don't.

[A]

I'm dumb as hell.

[F]

Or the other extreme.

[E]

We assume that you can't do anything if you have a disability. You know what I mean? And also shaping the world around our needs and normalizing what we can do versus what other people can do.

[D]

I got you.

[E]

You know what I'm saying? So it's.

[A]

And listen, my girl son has Tourette's. Like, I came in here and I did not. I came in here and I shared that story about dinner at Turk. But just being around him, period, like when you're nervous, this can come. I would imagine the guy might be nervous at an award ceremony. Like, it's just uncontrollable. Sometimes that is extremely loud. It's nothing you could do but say to the surrounding people what the condition is and hope that there's some grace and understanding.

[F]

And hit the edit button when you have two hours to put this broadcast.

[A]

All of this is on the baftas to me. Yeah, Totally not John. Shout out to John. Congratulations. That got lost in this. That this should have been a celebratory moment for him. That has turned into some Tourette's nightmare.

[F]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Shout out to Michael and Delroy too,

[D]

for their level of professionalism.

[C]

Professionalism and still, you know, going through it.

[E]

Yeah. One thing in conclusion, Delroy said though he just wished he had gotten similar like that they apology was better from the organization.

[A]

That they would have acted immediately.

[E]

Yes, yes.

[A]

Yeah, I agree. But that goes back to the conversation of nigga versus some other things like and. And how it's viewed and how it's treated.

[D]

And that's. See, and that's what I think the production was on. This ain't that bad. This just ain't that bad. On the list on a scale of, oh, we better not allow this to.

[E]

All right, it's a two hour delay.

[D]

It could be a day delay. If it ain't that bad to you, you gonna let it go.

[C]

Yes. It's a level of respect or fear that generates that respect.

[D]

Yep.

[C]

So, you know, if you would have offended certain people, we gotta get this done. But with us it's like.

[E]

And I Mean, if it's.

[F]

It's engagement farming. That's even more disgusting to me. Like, I'm tired of engagement farming in general in life. I think it's one of the biggest problems with. With society as. As a whole.

[D]

You are.

[F]

And if they're willing to offend so many people in the world, if the

[C]

right people would have got more eyes, they would have shut the farm down.

[A]

Well, you don't know that the right people were not offended. And I don't think that they'll know it until the next Baptist. Baptist.

[E]

No, I think you're saying like if. If another group.

[C]

There are groups that we know, if they would have gotten offended.

[A]

That's what he's saying.

[C]

No cow would have been mooing at the farm. They would have shut. They would have stopped that. My, like, asap.

[A]

I gotta get you the new book of saying.

[D]

I just be having to repeat them in my head sometimes. Like, it's going.

[B]

The new cow is not gonna move no more.

[C]

Engagement farm.

[B]

It's cool.

[C]

That's all right.

[A]

Yo, and the kids and the kid. I do like. I do like when they call people out for aura farming.

[B]

What? All right, what is.

[D]

I think you explained that to us

[F]

before we talked about it with jwon,

[C]

I believe, or what farming.

[A]

Aura farming thing. It's the. They accused. Oh, that's my man. But it's the. They accused Jason Tatum of doing with. Recreating the Kobe photo.

[D]

Yeah, that's right. That's right.

[B]

When he won the chip.

[A]

The. The other Damian Lillard photo. When. When you going for the aura?

[B]

It sounds funny reaching for it, basically.

[A]

It's not a natural.

[F]

We used to call that something else, but I can't remember now.

[A]

Aura farming is just hilarious. It is farming, period. On the Internet.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Is home farming. So, yeah. I'm interested to see what the black actors response will be to this next year.

[F]

Yeah, the production team should be fired.

[E]

Somebody needs to definitely get fired.

[D]

Yeah, for sure.

[E]

A couple people probably.

[C]

I agree.

[F]

Yeah, that's. That's where most of this blame falls to me. The man has a condition and I hope he's not racist. He doesn't seem. He seemed apologetic.

[E]

Yeah. And I'm sympathetic. I was in the airport maybe a month or two ago, and this little kid, he couldn't have been more than 9 or 10 years old. White kid was with his mom and going through security. He's just screaming, pussy, bitch. Nothing offensive to me. Like, nothing directed to me. Just cracking out words.

[A]

Could have been. No, right, right. I mean, Lying. He heard about to get my chain.

[B]

You handed me the chain right now,

[E]

what the fuck am I doing? He heard, no. And he was. I looked up like, why are you talking to your mom? Like, it was clear his mom was telling him to do something. He responded that way. And when I looked up, I could see, like, the shame on her face. And she was mortified and embarrassed. And I just looked at her like, I understand. Cause I immediately knew. I didn't know. I didn't think Tourette's. I just knew it was something. He clearly wasn't doing it out of any anger. And I was just. But I. And I could see the relief on her face, like, knowing that.

[D]

All right, somebody understands.

[E]

Cause the world probably judges her. Yeah, of course.

[C]

1,000%.

[E]

Yeah. And so I just. I just saw. Just. I can imagine the shame that goes along with. With this condition.

[F]

That's gotta be rough. Yeah, that's gotta be rough.

[E]

And the judgment.

[A]

Yeah, it's rough. They trick black people into being mean. When we saying it's a trick, we mean we nice. But then you see, hey, nigga, is he white?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

But he has Tourette's. Black people didn't get. Black people said, man, fuck this, dog. Tourette's having mother.

[D]

That's a racist.

[A]

Tourette's having aspect.

[B]

If Marque.

[D]

If market school me. That's the time that I was on

[A]

Trick us into being. Because then. Because then if they look at you acting like we thought.

[F]

I'm not gonna lie. I thought he was a racist. Dude.

[E]

I thought.

[D]

I thought he was like. I don't want to hear that.

[A]

There's nothing racist on everybody's jacket. There's a lot of them.

[D]

Some of this racist.

[A]

Joe. They're deep. No, most of the is racist.

[D]

Okay?

[A]

The Tourette's dude is not. He needs to show that he's a racist. He can't use his condition to say he's a racist.

[D]

Racist.

[A]

Listen, y' all ain't gonna meet that. That's the other thing about racism.

[C]

Where they at?

[A]

What town?

[B]

I won't go.

[A]

Y' all told me about all them sundown New Jersey towns. I ain't going.

[D]

Them shit's real.

[A]

Oh, what?

[E]

I don't want no parts of them.

[F]

They are real.

[E]

They in the middle of New Jersey, right?

[D]

No, no, no.

[C]

They 10 minutes from you.

[B]

Yeah, some of them right there you talking about.

[E]

Oh, word. Oh, this is. Text me the list.

[D]

This actually one of them is real close to you.

[A]

Y' all so familiar with these towns.

[D]

I don't Been pulled over in a lot of these towns. I understand.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

You had to show me a special idea.

[A]

They let you go, right?

[D]

I'm one of y', all, man.

[A]

Pull your CDL out. Pull that cdl. Never fails, boy.

[D]

Hey, say what you want. That works, stupid.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

What else needs our attention? Y' all want to. I see ti and 50 cent written in big, bold letters. Big, bold letters up there.

[E]

Yes. Can we talk about this? Cause I've had enough.

[D]

Yeah, let's hear it.

[E]

I've really had enough.

[F]

Of whom?

[E]

Let's tell the story. And I'll tell you what I had enough about.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

Cause I feel like we all be, like, pussyfooting around this.

[F]

I do wanna add real quick. Senators won three of the BAFTAs, so congratulations to them. Even though fuck the BAFTAs, but go, niggas.

[E]

He's killing me today.

[B]

Fuck this guy, you know?

[A]

Want that fucking chains. Where was he at?

[D]

TI TI Mark's telling the story.

[E]

I'm not telling the story.

[A]

No. You getting your chain with this one.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

You got it.

[E]

Yes, man.

[A]

Cause I was saying Mark is able to tell the truth on these 50 Cent topics. Cause he ain't never slept, walked nowhere. So 50 ain't gonna wake up and post him naked every day for the next month. Once 1, 2, 58 in the library where he bumping in the market.

[E]

That's fair.

[D]

That's true.

[E]

That's fair.

[A]

So go ahead and set it off.

[E]

Let these niggas know you wanna tell them what happened.

[D]

Well, all right. So, T, I's been calling 50 Cent out four verses. This has been going on since COVID Actually.

[A]

He.

[D]

He feels, you know, his catalog stands up best against 50, and he can beat him in the verses. So he called him out again.

[A]

And where do y' all stand on that?

[D]

What?

[A]

Cause I know everybody's about to have something to say about 50 and his behavior. But where do y' all stand on somebody consistently calling somebody out to play that's not looking to pick up the phone? That's hip hop.

[E]

Well, yeah, according to T.I. which he said on million dollars worth of game. He gave an interview about this, and he specifically said, I bumped into 50 in LA. We talked about it. He said, let's do it. He said, I'm gonna go out in public and talk about it first and then pull you in.

[A]

I'm learning more and more that people don't really know how to read superstar

[D]

talk, especially in la.

[A]

Here we go again. That's superstar talk. Yeah. Oh, yeah, man. Let's do it. When somebody in your face saying something that you don't give a fuck about, they do me all the time. Hey, Joe, man, we should do a pod, me and you. Oh, yeah, man, sure, let's do it.

[B]

That means move.

[D]

That's how easy it is. I didn't believe that story when I first heard it. Just because. Because 50 is the kind of person that if I don't fuck with you, I don't fuck with you. And he's kind of made it clear. Back in the mid 2000s, when he was dissing TI and calling him out for the whole. The charge he caught and how that case went, he kind of made it clear where he stood with TI So. And during the COVID times when he was asked about it, he was just like, yo, I'm not doing that. Don't leave me alone. I don't want to do it. So if I don't fuck with you. And I said, I don't want to do it. Leave me alone. I don't see 50 now turning around

[A]

saying about somebody consistently calling out somebody who clearly don't give a fuck about

[D]

versus but even I don't give. But let me ask about the person that has shown I don't fuck with you.

[A]

That's true.

[D]

And don't give a fuck about versus

[C]

but if I saw you post that and you said X, Y or Z, then is the person. Again, I don't know what happened. I'm just being objective. If I saw you after that and you say, yo, yeah, let's do it. And I say, all right, cool. I'm a hype it up. I'm a hype it up and put some. And put some smoke behind it and then bring you in on it.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

And even if you was bullshitting, I don't know you bullshitting. So now if I do it, then what?

[E]

And like Tip said, then just say you don't want to do it. Just hit me and say, yo, bro, I don't want to do it. I'm with you. I don't think that. I don't think that. That TI Is lying about the conversation he had. I think he may have misread 50. Yes, I agree.

[D]

That's what I think happened.

[E]

But at some point when you see me out here calling y' all versus, all you gotta do is say, bro. I know.

[C]

I said, damn, yo, my. I ain't really in the type space.

[D]

I don't with you. I'm not DMing you. I'm not hitting you saying, bro, nothing. I'M just saying if. If that's the case.

[C]

If that's the case, then just ignore it.

[D]

Because the way 50 moves is, if I don't like. Again, if. If he don't with somebody, he makes it. I don't want nothing to do with you in any capacity.

[E]

But it don't feel like that's what they was doing because they had this situation. I remember back during that time where he was talking shit. Then they had a time where they were cool again. And they were talking in front of the camera and behind the scenes about stuff. They were talking about projects. It was a lot of shit happening, you know what I mean? Even when he brought him on stage. Remember when 50 came on stage, when TI brought Jay Z out? It was a time where they was all mixing and mingling. And it wouldn't be unreasonable to think we cool enough to do this verse. That's all I'm saying.

[C]

But again, if you don't want to

[B]

do the verses, just say you don't

[E]

want to do it.

[C]

Just say no or ignore it.

[E]

Boom.

[C]

And it'll go away, right?

[A]

Or I could say, you a rad ass nigga and post the commercial and then you'll know, I don't want to do it.

[B]

True, right?

[E]

And to me, again, that's where we color outside the lines. If I call you out on some rap shit, respond with some rap shit or ignore me on some rap shit.

[D]

But if I don't see, I keep seeing people. Even back when Fab, Mayo Davies and Jim put the record out, Everybody say, oh, 50, you gotta rap now. Why 50 has not been rapping? I'm not active. Y' all chose the rap.

[C]

He said he done some rap.

[D]

Yeah, he said he started to. He was like, I started to respond on a. Make a mixtape, dissing them fellas, and

[B]

I didn't do it right.

[C]

Be.

[D]

Again, I am not acting. So you're calling out. Yeah, you're rapping.

[C]

Cool.

[D]

I got other shit going. I'm working over here. I'm in film, I'm in, you know, TV shows, all of this. I'm in the Hollywood world. Just because you rapped don't mean I have to rap. And I. I know. And that's what he did to them, right, with the TI Situation. You calling me out again for some music shit. I am off music, so I'm a. That's. He could have ignored it the same way he did Jiminy him. I think him even putting that Crime Stoppers video up as a response is more on the. See I really don't fuck with you side. Leave me alone.

[E]

I mean, yeah, he definitely clearly expressed that. You're 100% right. I just don't like.

[A]

But we didn't even finish telling the story. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[D]

And then after, you know, like you said, he put out the. He didn't respond to the verse's request. He's putting out memes and videos and stuff. And then he just starts putting Tiny up there.

[F]

Yeah, that's way outside the lines.

[D]

It's very outside the lines.

[A]

Y' all know I feel like that too.

[C]

Yes.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

But I also know that 50 don't feel like I feel.

[D]

Yeah, he don't care.

[A]

He don't feel like I feel. I think kids is kids, your wife, your family. I don't. I'm not never playing like that with nobody.

[D]

Me neither.

[A]

He don't feel like.

[E]

But right to me, though, it's like, if we gonna play like that, and I don't think you ever should, it should be in response to somebody else playing like that. At this point, Tion still hadn't said or done nothing to warrant that. You called him a rat. He responded by saying, I don't respect this dude no more. I don't even want to be on stage with him. Cause in another interview, would you still. He's like, I wouldn't be on stage with dude I don't respect for him. He called him a duck. Which apparently in Atlanta, some shit you don't want to be. You know what I mean? He did all that, but he never took it nowhere else. You know what I mean? And then to post a picture of somebody's wife to me is so far out of bounds.

[A]

I agree.

[E]

And I feel like people are just starting to say something in the comments, but I feel like too many people give 50 passes 1. Cause we like the pettiness, and I'm one of them. Sometimes I enjoy the pettiness. When it's funny, like buying two rows of seats at somebody's show so the show is empty. To me, that's funny.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Fucking funny for sure.

[F]

That's inside the bones.

[E]

Yeah, Right. It's inside. And it's hilarious. Right. Start talking about people's wife, their kids, all that shit to me, way, way, way too far. And because nobody. We enable that. We. Everybody's so scared. They don't say or. Or they. Or they play along and act like it's funny. It keeps happening. That was so far out of bounds. So when TI responds, or really TI Son responded, first responders, king Responded.

[A]

And people had the nerve to be mad at King for responding. I didn't understand.

[D]

I didn't get that either.

[A]

That one.

[D]

Well, I, I. No, I do. I do get watched. Why niggas don't like King? Again, it's back to that. A lot of times, it's very simple who we like more. Like you just said, Niggas love 50, so whatever he do, they're gonna rock with it.

[B]

And it's easy even if it's corny.

[E]

And that shit was corny.

[D]

It's easy if it's a target. That niggas been clowning King and not really respecting King. So now, oh, this is who you. No, we don't like him. So you're wrong, right? When in actuality, anybody with a set of nuts would do that for their mother, of course.

[E]

And that's the part people almost forgot. Like, that's his fucking mom.

[D]

That's his mom right there.

[E]

So when King makes a video saying, you know, talking 50, dig up your dead ass, mama, and then eventually post a picture of 50's mom, do I like that shit? No, I think that's out of bounds, too. But I'm not gonna tell somebody how to respond to somebody who just did that again. I think they both should knock that shit off.

[F]

But we're out of bounds now.

[E]

We out here. And I gotta fight fire with fire. Yeah, so. Or ignore it. Which again, you know, if I was mediating, I'd say, yo, everybody stop. But I'm not pointing at King like he's the one that started the shit.

[D]

No, he didn't take it there for

[E]

a. Yeah, no, he's wrong. He's dead wrong. And then should I play the joint? Then the music started coming.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[E]

And the music started. Hey, did it.

[G]

Y' all scared of man.

[A]

Full track, man.

[B]

Did Lego head ass man.

[G]

Ain't nobody standing for man.

[B]

Got the right one.

[G]

Wrote some light one. It's not what happened for the night come. I don't like guns. I walk up on them nice, though. Thank you, Tyson. You ain't tough in my son. Ain't no fear here. I'm a king and you a duck. You got no peer here with smoke, you get your fair share. You wouldn't dare stare me in the eyes and move your dick, sucker say that shit you say with your thumb. Why use a big sucker? To me you just a small man in a big shell made ass nigga need pigtail. You take no issue with them, white white boy. It's only our people that you find to be an Eyesore, huh? Duck and smoke you won't even stand up for a legacy. I guess it cause he see a shit to fight for. Hey, listen, man, this ain't gonna go how you think it is down here? We'll strip you out. That leave you with rabbit ears.

[B]

And you ain't the only one with

[G]

grind before you had a deal.

[A]

You think that you end up somewhere

[G]

pushing down for deals? Nigga, you got less talent, you're less attractive, more average. Ain't got more motion. You just moving where it lead Trap you moved out where rapping and they gave you a DMX package. You ain't that savage old dispatch oh Tad all mad kapu let your have it Gave a T of sauce and mustard like a fish salmon and God damn it if the want drama I'm not slanding once it's up, I'm not landing Truces is not that and you're not that rich Trying to stun on everybody with them White cat got the right one.

[A]

Sheesh. First verse. I'm pausing it.

[E]

Fire.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

He said a lot.

[C]

He said a lot lot.

[A]

He said a lot. He did. I feel like people kind of have figured out that rapping is just how you do this. With 50. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Because he's not. He's not.

[A]

Cuz you're not gonna rap.

[D]

He's not gonna rap.

[F]

True.

[A]

So the rapping kind of just settles all with him.

[D]

But this version of rapping is a little different than the other rapping we've seen.

[C]

Like.

[D]

Cause again, he's telling him I'm with that too. Be clear. I'm talking to you in a song. But I'm with this.

[C]

It's like, yo, dawg, everybody's scared of you. I ain't.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[F]

It's a better place to fight him because Instagram. He's gonna win that.

[E]

He's gonna win hands down.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

Not everybody care about that.

[F]

Yo, that's true, too.

[D]

Like, cool. You can win that.

[B]

That.

[D]

You got it.

[A]

Salute.

[D]

That's what he said. I don't okay memes cool.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Cause Ashley played a second verse we're

[G]

having for the night come. I don't like guns. I walk up on them knife song. Thank you, Tyson. You ain't tough in my son. Ain't no fear here. I'm a king and you a duck. You got no peer here with smoke you get your fair share. You wouldn't dare stare me in the eyes and move your dicks and suckers say that shit you say with Your thumb user bitch.

[B]

Boo boo.

[G]

Bring your bitch ass outside. Play in the street. You ain't no motherfucking gangster. You just pray on the week, man. All you do is talk shit and

[B]

hope it stay on the net.

[G]

Play detect to catch the killers on some police shit. Grown men make it mean. That's a weird athlete kicking nigga while they down. You a sucker for that. Having a moment. Hate to let the nigga inch in my life, but I give his ass a cake to saw about a mentioning my wife. You had women get that? Why you can't keep one? You can't love them. Come from your mama. You receive none. Know you rather set fires than housing with babies in them. I got paperwork from n in prison. Your name is in them. Peter Parker journalism, he saying. I guess I'm Benham Morals won't break up in them New Yorkers.

[B]

You gonna defend them.

[G]

This your king, huh? He feeling a victim from the get go murder ain't pumped his ass full of bullet holes. Cam did him like a hoe on the radio. Took losses from Rick Ross and Fat Joe. Jada spank that baby.

[E]

Thank him.

[G]

It's sweet. Kanye stood up to him. Made his first week of defeat. Beats it always happen. Too much yapping, slapping your cheeks. So what the you think gonna happen out here playing with me? You got the right one.

[F]

TI is nice, yo.

[D]

Yes. Been reminding.

[F]

Yeah.

[D]

Because again, you see the comedy, you

[E]

see all of this.

[D]

And let me just remind y', all, I can do this.

[A]

Yeah, he's in a good bag. He's in a good flow. This, this bop he got going. Beats he got going. Knowing it sound like some.

[C]

And right off of that, the back

[D]

of the Let them know because that let them know.

[C]

Damn near the hottest song in the country.

[F]

That is Fire. That's the song of the year to me so far.

[A]

Some liangelo ball right there sound crazy.

[E]

I gotta ask you later about that. Whatever happened to him?

[A]

Exactly what was going to happen to him?

[E]

What you said.

[A]

I think if I remember absolutely no nothing. Stupid ass ball players try to soup that up. It was hot for a week. It was fun for a week. All right, move now.

[D]

Then he tried to come out with the second one.

[A]

Hey, I don't want to hear your songs. If I know your dad.

[B]

What is this thing? Is proud.

[E]

He's pretty crazy.

[A]

I know if I know your father. Yeah, man tell you that. Call me man. Get. Get going little scrap.

[E]

So where did this go? Like I remember, like after Jadakiss did check me, I felt like the Same thing. Like, it was like he rapped. He killed it. We ain't talking about it no more. Like, it just. It chilled out. Like, is that really just it? Like, that's how you just.

[D]

Well, he went to the Internet too, huh, T? I went to the Internet as well.

[E]

Oh, yeah. And he did. Like, the family.

[D]

Yeah, he did a family thing with a caption that said, my biggest flex is being able to protect my mama till I could provide her with a better life. Happy birthday, mama. With the family around the table with his mother again. Now you playing over.

[E]

This is nasty work. 50 moms. I mean, he was like, eight, something like that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like. And we know it's. It's. This is going somewhere nasty. If 50 has thick skin, he's like, this is how we play. It's fine if he don't. Because some people can give It. Can give the. The bullying, but can't take it. Then this is gonna go somewhere stupid. I don't want to go nowhere stupid.

[C]

I don't want it either.

[E]

You know, that's the thing I feel.

[B]

I think this is embarrassment.

[C]

Two successful black men, moguls in their own right, resorting to this shit. I think it always. It's always us having this black eye. Like, we can't be successful and just fucking maintain a level of decorum and tech. I think the shit is whack.

[D]

I agree. It's whack. But if you're T.I.

[C]

i'm not mad at T.I.

[A]

fancy.

[D]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Okay.

[E]

Me either.

[C]

I ain't mad at TI Okay.

[E]

TI Ain't did nothing wrong to me. If I had his ear, I would be like, stop.

[D]

Yeah. I wouldn't say do nothing wrong.

[C]

But, dog, I think TI Was gonna be quiet and not really approach it until his son jumped out. And once your son jumps out in defense of his mom, you as the father now, your hand is forced.

[E]

No, I think once he put his wife.

[A]

He was addressing that no matter what.

[E]

Once you put his.

[C]

I think he addressed it already on it on whatever interview he did. Like, yo, I don't want to with this no more.

[B]

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

[C]

And now when my son goes viral for going crazy, he has no choice now, I think.

[A]

Well, you posted his wife after.

[E]

After that. That's what I'm saying.

[A]

So a response was coming from TI Yeah.

[F]

Regardless.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Tip wasn't letting that go.

[A]

Yeah. The whole family.

[E]

None of us would. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Sometimes nobody would have said enough. Just going to just let that fly.

[A]

And I do love the family flex. I Don't like using it to taunt someone who lost their mother. But I like family being a flex for a rapper. Yeah, yeah, you being at the table

[C]

with your mom, successful black man, your

[A]

kids being able to provide you, you,

[D]

you not in this. I'm just in life. That's what. That's the goal, to be able to do that.

[E]

And in fairness, he put up videos and last couple weeks like that before rapping with the family at the table in Atlanta, wrestling.

[F]

He's been on his family shit for

[D]

decades, but this particular TV show about his family.

[F]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

So that's just what he do. But, like, yeah, I'm irritated by this. I hate. Like you said, it's embarrassing shit.

[B]

It's embarrassing to us, dawg. Yeah.

[E]

Is there anybody in this day and age, I remember in the 90s and. Yeah, really the 90s and the early aughts like Farrakhan, them step in and shut this shit down. Is there anybody who has the respect to get too rapid rappers, especially that stature, to come in now and be

[B]

like, yo, Farrakhan still wallow.

[F]

Mark Lamont Hill, Obama and you.

[A]

You are wallow. Get out there.

[D]

It depends on the rappers, honestly. These two.

[C]

That's true. He's right.

[D]

It depends on the rappers. Because, yeah, it depends on the rappers, but these two.

[E]

JB Obama.

[C]

Cause Jake could do it depending on

[D]

who the rappers are, but not with 50.

[C]

You can't do it with 50.

[E]

Right.

[C]

But depending on who the other rappers were, Jay could do it.

[E]

Right.

[C]

He can't do it with 50, though.

[E]

Is there somebody. Is there somebody 50 would listen to other than Dr. Dre? Maybe.

[D]

Maybe I would say Dre M. That's it.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

And I think Dre and mind their business. I think they gotta just. Yeah, let him do whatever you're doing. Right. The 50 is tough, dog, because he's. He's a. He's a star. Star. Like, he's a star. He's a big star. You're not going to catch him. You're not going to catch him and do something to him. And it'll be more likely that. That he has people where you are before you have people where he is.

[B]

Right.

[A]

That's just as people are going about life, like, not even on a plan. Like, Ja really went to go perform at the. Yeah. And like, oh, word. Like, what do you.

[D]

What do you do?

[A]

What do you do? Yeah, it's tough.

[B]

It's tough to deal with.

[F]

It is.

[A]

You got to be ready to deal with all that comes with this stupid.

[D]

And I think that's the other reason, like you were saying, why people don't say much about him is that niggas don't want to deal with that.

[E]

Yeah, that's bully shit. That's the shit. That's actually shit ti's rapping about. It's bully shit. That's what I don't like about it. And we. I mean, I'm a fan of 50. I'm a fan of ti, you know, I mean, it's not about the music. It's about just like, we ain't gotta move this way. Like, you won you up, you survived all this shit in life, you successful.

[B]

Like, both of them.

[E]

Yeah, but I'm talking about the 50. Like, enjoy the shit. TI seems to enjoy it. Sometimes with 50 as an outside observer, as a fan, it looks like almost like, are you happy? Like, it looks like it's like there always has to be somebody to fuck with. Always has to be somebody to un.

[D]

See, I think that's where you get the happiness from.

[E]

And I don't.

[A]

I'm not. I'm not.

[E]

I don't wanna psychoanalyze him, but I'm

[A]

not gonna go that far.

[E]

I don't think you're wrong.

[A]

Before you get to him being a bully, before you get to him being a bully, he sends

[E]

a lot of bullies are.

[A]

And he'll tell you that. But knowing that you kind of just like all of them interviews TI did, if you know, you talking about somebody who's sensitive and on a different type of time, like, what are you. That person's gonna react this way, like. Cause 50 will say, I don't fuck with nobody. That's not fucking with me.

[D]

Yeah, I hear that.

[E]

I hear that. But let's say. But if your theory is right and you're 50, then you know that you told that you was blowing smoke up when you told ti, let's go do this.

[A]

Oh, for sure.

[E]

So then not doing no verses. I think you shouldn't be sensitive when TI's out there saying, let's do the verses. Because T's only doing the shit that I told him to go do.

[F]

Yeah. I think that going from I'm tired of you inviting me to the verses to, like, dissing your wife is a massive leak.

[E]

Yes, that's the part that I'm not fucking with.

[A]

Yeah, well, no, he dissed him first. See, now it sound like I'm K from 59. I don't wanna do that. He dissed him first with The Crime Stopper shit. And then we saw more TI interviews, and I think 50 posting the wife, which I'm totally against, is his way of saying, all right, we're gonna continue to up this.

[C]

Who dissed who with the crime stopper shit?

[A]

50.

[C]

50 dis.

[D]

He put the ti crumps on the video.

[C]

No, that's my point.

[E]

Yeah, but for what? Why they dissing with that? For asking him to do verses. That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't even see how we get there.

[A]

Got it. Got it.

[E]

I don't even see how we get there. It's like he ain't disagreeing with a big jump. That's a big jump.

[F]

Even the Crime Stopper sh. I'm not all the way mad at cuz it was released. It was out there. You know what I mean?

[E]

Like, once you start posting TI on that one, I wouldn't do it. But I understood his point. He said they. They won't. They told me I was going to jail if I did Crime Stoppers. So I did Crime Stoppers. And he said, if I happen to catch another case, you should expect to see another commercial.

[D]

That means a Crown Stoppers 360 out.

[E]

This crime Stoppers is not. I don't. I get into the snitching because I know y' all really the most, but, like, it's not exactly snitching. He said, if you see something, say something. He ain't telling nobody, but whatever. If you want to use that. Yeah, yeah, I get you. I'm not.

[C]

I'm not.

[E]

I wouldn't do it. But I'm saying It's on YouTube. It's fair game. I just don't think it's a fair response to hey, let's do it versus

[A]

Just know that for the people that were outside when this whole TI Guns in the Walmart parking lot thing came about, it was a really big deal.

[F]

It was.

[D]

It was.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Another award show. One of the biggest rappers is caught with what in the parking lot.

[E]

And it was a. They had silencers.

[C]

Arsenal.

[E]

Yeah, machine guns and silencers had an arsenal.

[B]

Yeah, listen, we got military grade.

[C]

Yeah, Arsenal.

[E]

He had good lawyers.

[A]

Listen, all you want me to do is a Crime Stoppers commercial to get a couple PSAs.

[F]

Y' all do some PSAs.

[A]

Young Thug put on a whole show

[E]

in front of the courthouse house telethon.

[A]

TI Is rapping, though.

[F]

He's rapping his ass off.

[A]

And that the.

[F]

The Let Him Know record is still so Fire.

[A]

Fire.

[D]

Then he put another snippet out. This one he put up on streaming.

[F]

Yeah. I thought that was a strange choice.

[D]

Yeah, it's. It's called war snippet. But it's on.

[F]

I think this actually came before.

[E]

War came first.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, excuse.

[D]

I'm sorry.

[E]

Yeah. War came first.

[A]

He was snippeting the day death.

[D]

But to throw the snippet on DSPs, that's what lost me. Like, I know people do the snippet game all day.

[F]

Of course.

[D]

Tease it on your Instagram. On your.

[E]

That's what I saw on the Instagram. He. I didn't realize.

[D]

He put this is all. Yeah, this is on Apple under his name.

[E]

That's weird.

[B]

It was weird.

[E]

But he did that. Then he did. To let him know. Yeah.

[A]

Okay. I would just be. I. I wouldn't want again speaking for only me. I know humans are very different at. I wouldn't want my rollout to be consumed by 50.

[D]

Well, he said that in. In. In the song. Like the fact that I'm even letting this get in the middle of this right now. I think it was the first verse.

[C]

He.

[D]

He has a couple bars in there about. I don't even like that I'm doing this in the middle of my rollout.

[F]

You've done it before. When Rage in the machine.

[D]

Yeah. You stomped on you. You stomped on a couple people roll out.

[A]

Including your

[D]

French roll out.

[A]

And his rollout. No more French album. All that little cute hanging y' all was doing at the mall and that little pool party at that little Mara Largo. Not Marlowe. Where did Calabasas house? Enough of that. You were too friendly. I ain't seen a picture of Drake and French together since then. Good step on that. Step on my own because imploded it. I ain't gotta sell. I'm retiring.

[D]

Retirement.

[A]

It's my retirement album.

[B]

I don't need to sell another record.

[A]

I will self detonate and push your back time ass rapper.

[D]

He definitely.

[A]

Yeah, I kamikaze the whole. I mean, I get it. I get it.

[F]

And I hope LVMH starts putting some of that good marketing behind the Pharrell

[A]

record,

[F]

because that record could go. Should go.

[A]

That record is kind of going.

[B]

Going.

[A]

It's going.

[B]

Yeah, it is kinda.

[A]

It's going. It's going.

[B]

It is.

[D]

Oh, that's a let them know joint.

[A]

Yes. Pharrell produced that one. Music nerd. That was Pharrell music guy.

[D]

I'm not the music guy. Yeah, no, that. No, I love the record. I just got that Pharrell.

[A]

Pharrell did that. Yeah.

[D]

Thank you.

[C]

Thank you.

[F]

Thanks, Pharrell Williams.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Neptune.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, man. When is the TI Project coming out? I don't know if he rapping like this.

[F]

Oh, I'm there. Yeah.

[E]

Album of the year.

[D]

I'm there.

[B]

Every album is album of the year.

[E]

That's it. I said it will be. We said that about clips. I think he got that kind of energy again. I want the old heads to win awards this year.

[D]

I like the. Oh, listen, I ain't mad at the old heads. They've been kicking ass, so keep doing it.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

All his just is sounding like that good old Atlanta. That old Atlanta Good shit.

[D]

03.

[A]

He did a lot of rapping in this little bit. Sure did.

[C]

Man, that nigga ain't even trying to enunciate no more.

[E]

Yeah, he went to that SWATS fucking Bankhead ass accent.

[A]

Then we gotta fight, too. If you put out a diss record and it's chock full of disses and I start to feel like you wanted to say some of this stuff to me for a while.

[B]

Those are the best disses.

[A]

Like this diss track feel like he just had a lot that he needed to say to 57. And then now's a good time to do it again.

[D]

Man, I go back to that 50 verse on you so tough from the second G on that album where he talked about the whole gun case. Did the way you said that. If I'm T, I might have had something to say to you for a minute when I was. I might. That might have been why I wanted to get on this versus stage with you.

[A]

No, T. I want to get on the versus stage with any New York that specifically because he want to embarrass New York niggas. Cause he feel like New York just looks down in Atlanta and all.

[E]

I get that.

[D]

But at the same time, you know how rappers got that list of yeah, but you. I think 50 is his. Yeah, but you.

[F]

That might be fair.

[E]

I could see that. Yeah, I think you're right.

[C]

He's called him out of several times.

[D]

I ain't like that shit you said before. And I've been waiting for this chance. I think there's a couple people that's been waiting for him.

[A]

Yeah, I think TI does feel like that. Now you say cuz he in the track talking about New York. Y' all gonna defend y' all king on this one. I never know Nobody to call 50 Cent the King of New York.

[B]

I've never heard that before.

[A]

I haven't heard that one time in my rapping life.

[E]

Maybe when the album was out he

[D]

said it and ran around saying he was the king, though.

[F]

So he did have an album called Forever King.

[D]

But I'm just saying he's wasn't calling

[B]

the king when he had that album.

[D]

I know, but he crowned just the same way. Wasn't nobody calling TI The King until he called himself the King of the South.

[A]

But niggas jumped on the Bay was calling him after that.

[D]

So he's like, all right, ain't nobody else called themselves king looking at 50

[A]

like he's the King of New York.

[D]

Cause he caught the he crowned himself king, man.

[E]

I don't think he thinks he's the king as opposed to Jay or as opposed to whoever. I don't think he thinks. I think that's a good argument for a battle.

[A]

I don't think 50 Cent gives enough of a A about anything in music.

[D]

I don't either to care. I don't think he cares.

[F]

I don't think we'll hear a response in music form.

[D]

No, we'll get more Instagram for sure.

[F]

Yeah, yeah, more Instagram.

[E]

Check Instagram.

[B]

Right.

[D]

I got the alerts on.

[E]

Oh, you part of the problem.

[A]

You're a bird, I believe.

[F]

Such a bird.

[A]

Turn the notifications on.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

Anyway, I can't wait to hear the. Yeah, the TI album.

[F]

Yep, me either.

[A]

Yeah, cuz it sounds good.

[F]

Yeah, he's killing it.

[A]

This sounds good. He's kicking ass.

[F]

He's killing it.

[A]

He is. Yep. Can't wait to. And I guess I better turn my notifications on, see what see what he going to do with AI Mark. And now it's time for my favorite part of the show, Prize pick. All right, the big game is over with and there's no better way to cash in right now. In other sports, Prize picks is super easy and simple to play. All you have to do is look at two to six players, check their projected stat line, and pick more or less for your chance to win big. Also on prize picks, how you play is completely up to you. If you want flexibility, choose Flex Play where you can get paid even if one of your picks miss. And if you want the biggest payouts, go for the power play. No matter your play, Prize picks is a great way to put your takes to the test. And it's time for the ish picks of the week. Ish is going with pardon my gird, RJ Barrett for more than five and a half rebounds. Jalen Wells for more than 24 points, rebounds and assists. Jalen Johnson for more than one and a half blocks and steals. Oh, you could tell he trying to win this ticket. You such a bum. And James Harden for more than four and a half rebounds.

[C]

Don't say nothing, bro.

[A]

You put your all into this ticket. I could tell. You picked three. Two.

[B]

Jalens ain't the goal to win.

[A]

Yeah, but I could tell he really concentrated money. He concentrated money cloud your judgment. He did. I could tell. Listen, if you download prize picks right this very second and use promo code JBP, you get $50 instantly when you play your first $5 lineup. Only on prize picks where it's good to be.

[E]

Right.

[A]

All right. That's a good segue into some sports bullshit. Come on, let's talk about it. Floyd Mayweather back in the game. Oh, Lord. Fighting Manny Pacquiao unretiring for this one. He's also got his exhibition coming up with Mike Tyson, and he's still suing. Who's he suing? Heyman.

[C]

Is he?

[A]

Yeah. He said he took.

[C]

Oh, hey.

[A]

He said he took all his money.

[D]

Really?

[A]

Yeah. So he took all his money.

[C]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[A]

And now I believe that Floyd Mayweather broke his condition. So I know that's been a rumor for a while. I've been talking about it for a while, but it's kind of. It's hard to.

[F]

Oh, he's doing Showtime.

[D]

Showtime.

[A]

Showtime. Showtime. Showtime. Sorry.

[D]

340 million.

[A]

I said they took his money. So between the lawsuit with Showtime, between the Tyson fight and between the Pacquiao fight and between him not being able to leave Dubai exactly when he wanted to, and some of those reports that came out about those buildings he purchased in New York. I think Floyd is twisted. I do.

[E]

This all looks like broke behavior.

[A]

It's broke behavior.

[E]

It is. Yeah, it is. And it's. Which makes me a little more sympathetic to the choice, you know, like. Like, if you ain't got no money and this is how you make your money, who the fuck am I to tell somebody not to make their money?

[D]

Right?

[C]

That's a great point.

[E]

As a fan, I hate watching Floyd. I hated the idea of Floyd versus Mike Tyson. I don't want to watch anybody past their primes fighting. I don't want to watch people in two vastly different weight classes. Classes. Go at it, because it's just not a good look for me. Then when he said he's unretiring, I was like, damn, now you're gonna unretire one thing. Do exhibitions but to fight Pacquiao again, I don't know. For me, I love that Floyd is 50 0. I don't want him to be 51. As a fan, that's true. And there's a chance that that's gonna happen. If it's an honest fight. There's a really good chance at this age after not boxing a real fight. When was the last time he fought McGregor? Was that his last non exhibition fight?

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Conor McGregor, which ain't really, really a test. He's not a boxer like that. I don't know what he's gonna look like against me.

[C]

But the fight before that was Pacquiao.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

That was how many? That was 13 years ago.

[C]

Damn near a decade.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

So. But I think if you are gonna get in a ring with somebody, you want to get in a ring with somebody that could have the same rust that you have.

[E]

Pacquiao ain't got the same rust though.

[A]

Why?

[C]

He had one exhibition, didn't he fight last year?

[E]

That was exhibition. I threw him.

[C]

It wasn't. It was. It was a real fight.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[C]

I'm just saying. I don't know.

[D]

I think.

[C]

I think some, some financial issues could potentially be present just on how. How extravagant his life was. And then I did read some about the buildings in New York and how they might not be panning out accordingly. I don't know. Wish him the best.

[A]

I'll.

[C]

I'll he get my money.

[B]

Yeah, I'll watch.

[C]

Money for the Mike Tyson I don't want to see, but I'll watch.

[F]

I just watched Ryan Garcia fight this weekend. I would definitely watch it. Mayweather, Pacquiao fight again.

[A]

Ryan Garcia showed up. He looked better than I. I've ever seen him.

[C]

Yeah, Ryan Sharp.

[F]

Yeah, he's sharp.

[D]

And it's the first fight at the Sphere in Vegas. I still got to go to that. Me too.

[A]

From. It's on my bucket list.

[D]

I have to.

[C]

They about to open another one in Maryland.

[D]

I'm gonna go to the Vegas down

[C]

there where the MGM is,

[E]

yo.

[A]

Yeah, you ignorant. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I'll tell you something they won't tell you. You're not getting a sphere issue.

[C]

I don't want a sphere.

[A]

A sphere's not coming to your little hometown.

[C]

Sphere is already in the works.

[A]

You're not getting a sphere.

[D]

You might be in on Maryland, by the way.

[C]

I wish I was.

[A]

What do you say by the Montgomery district?

[C]

What do you say by mgm?

[A]

What?

[C]

We seen Tank in the map.

[A]

Y' all not getting a sphere.

[B]

By the fucking.

[A]

Yo, you. There's a few niggas that's gonna big up Baltimore, ain't they? Get you Carmelo, Anthony and Jess. Hilarious.

[C]

I'm not from Baltimore.

[A]

Yes, you are.

[C]

I'm not, though.

[A]

A sphere. Where'd you see Tank at in Baltimore? Baltimore.

[C]

You did not, you doof.

[A]

Where was it, Scotty? Where'd I see Tank? I've seen Tank all over.

[C]

You've seen Tank? Dc, You've seen Tank, Kerry Hilson and Carl Thomas.

[E]

That was at dc.

[C]

That wasn't Baltimore.

[A]

Where was it?

[C]

It was Maryland. You asked.

[B]

But

[D]

for niggas that ain't from, you

[C]

know, dc, the DC is getting a sphere.

[A]

You was either in Baltimore. The DC Sphere is schm up. Yo, we're going to Vegas to the real sphere. The Sphere not driving to Maryland.

[F]

Now hold up. Who's at the Sphere in Maryland? I might show up.

[B]

I'm not even listening to Let the

[C]

Right Be Down There.

[D]

If they doing a Sphere in Maryland, they'll also be performing at the one in.

[A]

In.

[B]

In Vegas Fair.

[D]

I would like to see them at the Vegas sphere, wherever it is.

[A]

Different budgets. Yeah, different budgets. That ain't always. If they happen to be.

[C]

That ain't always going to be.

[A]

They happen to be in the Maryland area. Yeah, we'll. We'll check it out. Some brown bag money happen to stop by over there. Vegas also, man, I didn't see the Backstreet Boys in Vegas. Huh?

[B]

The Backstreet Boys?

[D]

Yeah, they did a resident. They did a residency out there at the Sphere.

[F]

That's the one you wanted to go to?

[D]

Yes, babe, I'll go see any. I just want to wait.

[A]

Hold up with me. You don't put respect on the Backstreet Boys.

[F]

I mean, a little bit, but am I going to the Sphere? I don't know, you know.

[A]

Are you a boy band guy?

[F]

I mean.

[B]

New.

[E]

Well played. Well played, sir.

[C]

Now. Now, what do you say?

[A]

Nothing.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Nothing at all.

[F]

Yeah, I mean, I respect the Backstreet Boy slaps and Backstreet Boy slaps.

[A]

In sync.

[C]

Slap on the ground, bro. New addition.

[B]

Like they joking.

[A]

And I guess they are. Boy, man.

[E]

Yeah,

[F]

they're the blueprint.

[C]

They're the blueprint for all of these

[A]

other we shouldn't be able.

[E]

Jackson 5, too.

[A]

Yeah, but we shouldn't be able to call them a boy band no more after we saw them upstream. After we saw them grandpa collectibles. Nothing boys about that edition. Oh, man, those is grown limited editions. Yeah, so? And to explain why we saying Floyd Mayweather weather is broke. And that's gonna be tough to understand for some of y', all because a lot of y' all is broke, too. We just talking about more going out than it's coming in. That's it.

[C]

I don't think he broke, but it's

[A]

as simple as that.

[C]

He's still.

[A]

You could have a million dollars and be broke. You could have $10 million and be broke.

[B]

He's popped,

[D]

nigga. Julian in Miami just sued him. What?

[C]

What you think?

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[C]

What you think? He said 1.4.

[F]

Headache being pop don't seem so bad if you can go out and pick up a little quick. 4050 in a couple weekends. There's worse, pops.

[C]

40.

[E]

50.

[B]

Maybe more than that.

[C]

Maybe more.

[F]

I don't know.

[C]

I think him and Tyson, I think the purse is 150. Then him and Pacquiao purse going to be every bit of 200 minimum.

[F]

Yeah, it's not a bad pop.

[A]

Seven more times.

[C]

Joe, if you think I wouldn't jump rope and run 13, 14 miles a day for $200 million.

[B]

What?

[F]

I'll figure it out.

[B]

He's the greatest.

[E]

But here's my question. Here's what I don't get.

[A]

You wouldn't backflip for 10 grand.

[D]

It ain't.

[C]

It ain't 40 million.

[A]

And then. I told you I'll give you 100 grand if you run up the street butt naked. You ain't done that yet, neither.

[C]

I ain't get my two grand for water. You think I trust your word?

[A]

You did get your two grand. You didn't get it from me.

[B]

Me.

[A]

You got it from my account.

[C]

I don't know where I came from.

[A]

You got some other nice stuff for my account? That always fades from your memory, too.

[B]

You got some stuff from me, too.

[A]

Not a thing, I bet. Not a thing.

[B]

Even weird.

[A]

What's that? You. This. Chaps.

[B]

Oh, man.

[A]

You got it, bro. You got it.

[E]

It's okay.

[A]

Anyway, yeah, Floyd's pop. That's my biggest.

[E]

How does that happen? I mean, I know we see the extravagant stuff.

[B]

I mean, that's it.

[E]

Is it just that simple?

[B]

It can be.

[D]

Like Joe just said, more is going out than coming in. If my lifestyle is X and I'm taking care of this many people and I'm living this way, and I'm not bringing in why.

[A]

I have a list of things that we brushed over too fast as a community. One of those things is Floyd Mayweather reading at the Breakfast Club.

[D]

Yo, chill out.

[A]

So when you sit here and say stupid shit like, yo, man, as a doctor too, with a PhD, man, man, yo, how does this stuff take place? I feel like that Breakfast Club clip should be played immediately. Everything. Everything will be so well understood.

[C]

I'm not gonna say that.

[E]

No, I was asking it slightly different. I wasn't saying, I can't believe it happened.

[C]

No, I was gonna say read imagine our.

[A]

What did the fuck.

[D]

That could also track to why now I got to sue these over here.

[E]

That's where I was trying to go was like, has he just. Is it a Mike Tyson situation where he got robbed more than he was bet? Cuz sometime they'll make you look like you spent all your money when they really robbing you. That's all I'm asking.

[A]

Oh, I think both.

[C]

I think.

[A]

I think he got reliable. I think he blew a lot of money and he can't read.

[D]

I think he got over 100 cars paid cash.

[C]

Think about what your expenses are on a month. Yeah, your life ain't nowhere near his is so this.

[A]

Watch your mouth, man.

[D]

It's not.

[A]

But. But don't say it.

[C]

Got 50 cars like that.

[B]

Mark got cars, not a 100 car.

[C]

Yo, he might be spending $2 million a month.

[D]

No, he bought the cars. I'm just talking about.

[C]

He got houses and jets, insurance and that and all of that, bro. Lifestyles be crazy. Be spending seven figures every month times 12. You and you ain't fighting a decade. Damn near the chicken's gonna come home

[B]

the roost at some point.

[A]

All right, that's your last one for the day.

[D]

This nigga's really on this farm.

[A]

Shit, the cows, the chickens.

[F]

Never farmed a day in his life.

[A]

He might have, you know, we don't even know his life. He'll pull out a story. I. I think Floyd gonna be broke after his fight fights.

[C]

Nah, I think his lifestyle.

[A]

Oh, 200 million over here, 400 million over here, 300 million over here. I'm fighting the case. I know what the old escort bill was. I just know what the old girlfriend bill was. I know what the bills.

[E]

If you owe nine figures, yeah, you still gonna be in debt after two fights. But here's the thing I don't understand. Why come back and do regular fights if you can make that much off Mike Tyson? Why not just keep doing exhibition fights and protect your record?

[C]

How many? How many?

[A]

It ain't a bunch of those out. It's not a bunch of those out.

[D]

Who else can he fight?

[E]

So if he fought Pacquiao Was an exhibition. How much would the purse be?

[A]

The list is Jake, Paul, Pacquiao and Tyson.

[C]

Roy Jones.

[E]

I thought Roy Jones too. Yeah, that be about it. Roy Jones been asking for it.

[A]

And Roy Jones, it ain't even about to be at the level of the other three. But y' all was saying about how y' all hate what boxing has become.

[B]

Yeah, I, I don't.

[A]

Y' all hate that it's turned into this, yet y' all are still gonna tune in.

[D]

I don't hate it.

[E]

I'm part of the problem.

[D]

I don't hate it.

[E]

I, I, I, it's like rap beef. I still watch it, even though I think it's pathological.

[C]

No, I'm split down the middle. I think that, I think that these gentlemen not.

[F]

Bro, you are a peach.

[C]

I'm, I'm happy that these dudes have advice that they could get money because so many of our great boxers passed away broke. So the fact that they could still go out and command a couple hundred million dollars for a fight, I'm happy at that point. But as a boxing fan, I don't think it's going to be the most entertaining or challenging fight. So that's when you kind of be

[D]

a little deterred and see, that's why,

[A]

oh, I'm on the opposite side. I want to see a boxer that was up grow old broke. I want to see that story. The boxer boxing boxes you talking about was back in the day. The purse wasn't there, the money wasn't in boxing. I want to see a boxer that had it. Hey, Rap. When Rap, we got our MCM story. I want there to be a story in another, in another sport. Let's see the guy who had cuz, why not?

[F]

That story exists in mad other sports.

[A]

Well, who's the boxer?

[B]

But why would I. Mike Tyson.

[F]

Yeah.

[C]

Mike Tyson was getting 40 million a fight in the 80s, bro. And he was is barely getting 40 million to fight. Now. You got to be a, a marquee fighter to get that.

[A]

Now, it's interesting you don't say that, man.

[C]

Mike Tyson was fighting.

[A]

Every Mike is looked at that, Joe.

[C]

Mike Tyson was fighting every two or three months that was fighting like this. Every fighters now take six, eight months to go fight somebody else. Mike Tyson was fighting every couple months, bro, at 20, 30, 40 million a clip.

[E]

Yeah, that's when he was going after. When he sued Don King was trying to got him for nine figures. He was, he was broke.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Even when you heard Don King say Don King said, yo, fam, I was getting Mike Tyson $40 million a fight in the 80s.

[A]

Y' all are right. I want to see another one, though. Y' all kicking knowledge. Guess what? It don't matter one bit. I want to see it.

[B]

I don't want to see nobody.

[D]

I like the exhibition, though, for like, somebody like a, like, older fighter. I like it because. Because the risk ain't there no more. You know what I'm saying? You're not really going out here yourself up like, go sell a story and get it back. I'm not mad. I ain't mad at it.

[F]

Honestly.

[C]

Huh.

[F]

As long as it's entertaining.

[D]

It don't be entertaining.

[F]

Sometimes it don't. Most of the times.

[D]

That's cachet. You've earned that.

[C]

Joshua knocked Jake Paul knows off that.

[D]

That was entertaining.

[B]

That was very entertaining.

[E]

Yeah, but it was a shitty fight up until that.

[F]

Yeah, that was one of the worst fights ever.

[A]

Scene.

[F]

Probably the worst, actually.

[A]

He was crawling that should have told us they was going to let fly at the award ceremonies. Like, we. We had way too much fun with that Anthony Joshua knockout. It was too much peace and unity and just girls like, oh, look how fine he is. You don't think white wives was doing it and they was going to let somebody do it? See, we just let our girls, oh, he's attractive and that's it. Them white husbands. Nah. Oh, yeah. Oh, man.

[E]

Jesse. Clarissa Shields.

[C]

I did.

[A]

Wait, what'd you ask him if you

[E]

saw Clarissa Shields fight?

[B]

Oh, I did that.

[C]

Right hand.

[A]

Serious.

[C]

She beat the dog shit out of Shorty.

[E]

Yeah, it was bad. They had a nice moment afterward. All that pre game shit talking was.

[C]

They was talking shit. She sharp. She was fighting a girl that was pretty good. She was just out of shape to me. She was heavyset, out of shape. She kept leaning on Clarissa. Like, Clarissa was hitting her with a right, like, consistently. And it looked like a girl fight almost, but she beat the shit out of, like. I can't say.

[E]

Like, it was.

[C]

It wasn't the most tactical, you know what I'm saying? Like, you see how men slip, dip, and do a lot of that. A lot of that shit was just a slug fest. Toe to toe, and Clarissa was beating the shit out of her.

[A]

She got.

[C]

Definitely got the best of the toe to toe, but it wasn't like the most technically sound fight.

[F]

Gotcha.

[D]

Yeah, I just saw one clip and it was literally just hands. Like E. Honda was smacking the ass. I was like, oh, shit.

[C]

Yeah, it was like that.

[E]

It was like, Kelly pricey, Boosie Walked her out.

[A]

Lil Boosie. Walked her out.

[D]

Fire.

[A]

I got to see a lot of clips of my new favorite thing is just watching Pap and Clarissa walk into a fight, sir. That's it. Be having furs on and chains and it's like boxing's hov. And be black excellence, bro. It's a new thing this year, huh? Like, you like black excellence.

[C]

I like black excellence every year.

[A]

Like you with it.

[C]

As I stated, I like black excellence every year.

[A]

Okay. Who you said perform?

[E]

Kelly Price. You know, she sang the national anthem, but then she switched it, did the remix, and did the black national anthem instead. Said, so some people were pissed off. Did y' all see this?

[A]

I did not. No, not. No. I didn't see none of this. Y' all talking about. You see me muting up, trying to let y'. All.

[E]

I didn't see Kelly Price did, like, two bars of the national anthem.

[C]

The last couple bars of the national anthem, Right? The few.

[D]

The last few.

[E]

She's like, in the home of the brave. Then she just went right in the. Right in the lift, everything. Salute to her for doing that. People were pissed, including some black people. But it was good. It was good.

[D]

Did she sound good doing it, though?

[E]

She sounded great.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Oh, good.

[A]

Go, Kelly Price. All right. Oh, God.

[E]

No, she sounded great.

[C]

It was just some wild for you. Never seen somebody get up there and just be like. And the rockets red glit lif every.

[A]

It was. Yeah.

[B]

You'll smash Kelly Price.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

Nah.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

What made you pause?

[C]

Think about.

[A]

Got to think about it. He.

[E]

Think about.

[D]

Think about her feet.

[B]

Old Kelly Price.

[A]

I ain't going to lie to somebody to sing. Sing while I'm doing my thing.

[B]

Hum.

[A]

I seen this video at Avery Wilson walking around the park singing, can we talk to, like, a bunch of gay dudes?

[B]

Oh, this guy. And that could sing his ass off.

[A]

No, for real, cuz. It was one of the dope. No. You know Avery Wilson that can sing his ass off.

[B]

But.

[A]

But in the video I saw, it was a girl saying, damn, I needed to be at this concert. I'd have bagged me a nigga. So, of course, in the comments, they like, girl, nah, they. They into what you into, Girl, it

[E]

wouldn't have went the way you thought.

[B]

Talk would have been different.

[A]

Talk would have been different. But it did get me thinking, if y' all were in a park at one of the free park shows, those be nice. I know you've been in some of those. Oh, sure, sure, sure. And Avery Wilson comes from the stage to the grass to sing. Can we talk? But you gonna hit him. Ish. Why are you doing that? What are you doing with your fist ball?

[E]

You didn't have to.

[A]

What would y' all do if Avery Wilson came up to y' all in the grass from the free concert and started singing? Can we talk?

[C]

No.

[A]

Because he looked.

[D]

That's the answer.

[F]

You talk about.

[A]

Cause one of those dudes he walked up to and tried to catch a vibe with. Homie was like, homie had Tourette's. Oh, man. Shout out to Avery Wilson. Man. Speaking of Floyd Mayweather being broke. Speaking of being broke. Glad to see that you homeless dudes came around this blizzard. Y' all was arrogant the last time the EMTs tried to pull up on y'.

[C]

Where have you been?

[A]

Bitch is different. I'm happy for him.

[D]

Can you do me a favor, please? Can you apologize to Mother Nature? Cause I think a lot of this shit your fault. Cause you was talking so much about winter. We don't get winters no more. And winter's over.

[B]

[D]

That don't got nothing to do with the point. Stop deflecting.

[A]

Stay here.

[E]

It's good.

[B]

It was a great joke.

[A]

It's a great joke. It's a joke that you're missing. I'll never apologize because I like this dumb shit. I love. I absolutely love this freeze. This is how winter used to be.

[E]

[B]

It's like, guess what happened, right?

[F]

It's gonna. It's not warm enough.

[A]

He got his ass together too. Last time around in January blizzard. He got on tv real smug. Another arrogant nigga. He got on TV on a Sunday night talking about there will be school tomorrow. No, New York doesn't close remote learning. But learning is happening under my watch. Not this time. No, not this time. Not this time.

[F]

They learned him.

[B]

[A]

You talking about some. What was that? Spicy chipotle gouda. Oh, she went to that butcher, did her numbers, boy. No, she did sound like stupid.

[E]

Anyway, I swear, y' all talk about food this Ramadan. Y' all talk about food more this month than any other time y' all been talking about y' all growing up. Food about seven times this thing. Then you ate that whole sandwich and front of me.

[C]

Pardon me.

[A]

No, I saved half. I saved half of it for later.

[C]

Y' all got some pancakes over there for you. You know what I mean?

[E]

Yeah, I'll eat them tonight.

[B]

Clock. There you go.

[D]

[E]

So if I get a little crazy,

[A]

but you up early enough to do what you got to do. I was talking to my driver. You like n eat a bunch at 5:00am yeah, the morning.

[E]

The mornings. The snowstorm is what killed me though, because I. It threw my schedule off and like, I didn't wake up in time. Oh, and then you missed. You missed that 6:40am Joint.

[D]

Done.

[E]

Yeah. The rest of the day locked in the house, man. It ain't the best.

[F]

Sorry you went through that.

[A]

Pardon us. What else needs shovel? Oh, I'm sorry.

[E]

No, no, I wasn't say nothing important.

[A]

What else needs our attention? What else needs us? I see I have a question written here, but I don't think anybody's gonna answer.

[E]

Oh, what is it?

[A]

Is Sweetie not even trying to hide it anymore?

[F]

Well, she did.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

I don't know.

[B]

Tr.

[C]

No h. What?

[A]

They got him running. They got him running around. They got her running around. She running the running around. I'm saying is. You know what the running around is, fam.

[B]

It's up now.

[A]

She.

[D]

Now. You know.

[A]

You should try to hide it.

[B]

Why?

[D]

No, you shouldn't.

[A]

You should.

[B]

No, it's frowned upon.

[E]

Turns out

[A]

sentiment has changed on that one.

[B]

You're right, you're right, you're right.

[A]

I'll take it back. Oh, I take it back. Tell you, I feel like that's too young to just. No, not to sell it. Oh, I'm saying it's too young to advertise it. To say, you know what? I'm selling it now. Like, I ain't mad at a 27 year old. It's sell a little bit. But to make a career like a

[B]

celebrity seller, fam, it's not the first. What are you talking about?

[A]

I'll tell you, man, I'm done. I'm done. Shout out to Sweetie.

[B]

They're not lady say that.

[A]

What?

[C]

Shorty said that, right?

[A]

I need more.

[F]

Her. Her. Her friend.

[C]

Yeah, the publicist.

[B]

Yeah, publicist.

[A]

But I thought that would make her want to hide it.

[B]

No, we here now.

[C]

You just say Floyd is pop.

[A]

Yeah, if Floyd is Pop, Sweetie can get out there.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

That's up.

[E]

That's her.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

At least it wouldn't mind exhibition.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

Also, do you think we brushed over Kanye sucking his Cousin's dick for 16 years too fast as a community? That's my last question. I'm asking about things we brushed over too fast.

[E]

I don't know if. Now that we know he was not in his right mind, I don't know how true that was. Like, I think it totally could have been like eight years.

[F]

Just a handy.

[A]

Just eight I'm thinking he might have got the timeline.

[E]

Totally got the timelines wrong.

[C]

You saying Kanye mouth had to run?

[E]

No, I did not say that, cuz I'm not able to.

[B]

Is you, however, talk about what?

[D]

Are you crazy?

[B]

What?

[A]

What serious topic needs our attention, yo? Oh, man, I can't wait to talk about paradise. But we. We could wait.

[E]

I had. My question was about what's on the board. I see our dear sister, our colleague on the board once again, Dr. Bryant. And it says she's your colleague, too. She's all of our colleague. She's a journalist, yo. And she started a patreon, so she's our Patreon colleague.

[B]

Hey, y' all niggas quiet like church mice.

[D]

I'm lost.

[B]

What happened?

[A]

Y' all niggas is bitches.

[B]

It's cool.

[A]

Go ahead.

[C]

Proceed.

[B]

Wait, I was looking for a clip.

[A]

What happened? You two calling them bitches, right?

[B]

You too.

[A]

How.

[B]

It's cool.

[A]

But tell me.

[C]

When I called up my colleague, the

[A]

room went in the uproar, like, whoa.

[E]

That's the joke.

[D]

I know.

[B]

Everybody else quiet.

[D]

Cause we saw you sitting there cheesing with her. We didn't. I didn't see him sitting there cheesing with her.

[E]

Yeah, you was.

[D]

Oh, y', all, it's cool. If I see you sitting there cheesing what I'm gonna say to you, too.

[B]

Yeah, that's cool.

[A]

Listen, Cheyenne Bryant went on the podcast with Justin Labo, and because of ish, I'm down. I was down to piece it up with her. Like,

[E]

seriously?

[D]

Because that's your colleague?

[B]

Because is she my colleague?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Got you, Got you.

[A]

Gotcha.

[E]

Yes.

[A]

And because she's your colleague, I was gonna squash whatever feelings I had. Right. And then she gets on adjusting the boy podcast and proceeds to say that men with multiple BMs.

[E]

That's me.

[A]

Are womanized. If you don't believe that she said

[C]

that, she said some other fly shit.

[B]

I ain't hear that part, but go ahead.

[A]

I'll try to find it for you. Because I know y' all don't take my word for it. And I don't blame y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

I've lied a lot. How could I. How could I have gained Yalls trust?

[D]

Not you, though.

[A]

I've lied. I've told lies on the pod my whole life.

[F]

On the pod, off the pod.

[A]

So I can't be shocked when people don't really believe me. So I have a clip.

[C]

Date a man like your father.

[H]

So love that. That's a hybrid answer. I would date A father like my father. I wouldn't date a man like my father. Meaning my father was a womanizer. Right. Six by five means you're a womanizer. And but he was a hell of a father.

[B]

So any man who has multiple baby mamas you think is womanizing?

[A]

Think.

[H]

Any man who has multiple kids by multiple women is a womanizer. And in addition to that, you marry none of them. It's not a thought, it's a no. What kind of man goes and procreates with multiple women, provides no covering, no provision, and you're not in the house with any of them. You're selfish, you have narcissistic traits. Or you are narcissistic and you are very much a womanizer. Who cares about one person, Yourself.

[E]

I'm looking at womanizer now.

[A]

I only brought that here to trigger you guys. I'll be honest. I'll be honest.

[C]

There's no logic in what she's saying. So that means every woman that got multiple baby daddies is a whole whore.

[A]

A Manizer.

[F]

Manizer, yeah.

[C]

Like what are you saying? Don't make sense. Somebody can have sex when you have sex. Unfortunately, all of us are not having sex with the intent to procreate. It's irresponsible. But that responsibility falls on the part of both adults that are consenting to have sex. That's number one. Number two, you could be in love with somebody or be in a real standing relationship and not just be out here fucking. And you could get somebody pregnant at 25 and you could turn around and leave that relationship and get somebody else pregnant at 37. That don't mean you're a womanizer. You could have been in two meaningful relationships with two different women and procreated with them.

[F]

Take that.

[C]

What you're saying don't make sense.

[E]

Why you had that courage and bass in your voice when you sit next to her though. I feel like that would have been an opportunity.

[C]

We weren't talking about these things to push back.

[A]

You should have brought it up. Too busy. Kiki girl showing that, showing this tooth right here. He showing this tooth. Was it the molar? Was this. He was showing them teeth on that stage.

[C]

Don't make sense. No, what she saying don't make sense.

[E]

This is what I say about, about

[C]

where does narcissistic tendencies come in with you having children?

[E]

I, I, I get what she's saying, but this is what I think she did. This is what I think she did. She said the statement. And I agree. Everything you just said. Right? But then the More she talked, the more factor she added to it.

[C]

She did.

[E]

So it started with if anybody who has multiple kids is a narcissist or is a womanizer. Excuse me. And then you can't. I disagree with that. That's just not true.

[B]

Of course.

[E]

But then she kept saying, well, if you don't offer covering, if you don't do this, if you're not this, you don't get married, you're not married, you didn't do this. It's like, oh, okay, now. Well, yeah, if you do all the things that came by the end of the definition, I might agree.

[C]

But even in that it takes two people to do all of those things. We've never heard of a man wanting to marry a woman and the woman wasn't working with it.

[E]

So does that get pregnant? Yes, it happens.

[C]

So does that make him narcissistic?

[E]

No, but it's the multiple. So if you had.

[D]

Okay, so wait, wait, wait.

[C]

So I was in a relationship. Let's just hypothetically, you're in a relationship with a woman, y' all have a child, you want to continue that relationship and she doesn't. So she breaks that relationship off, you go your way, she goes her way. Now you go out and procreate with somebody else. Now you have two separate children by two separate women. Where's the narcissism?

[E]

And what if you're not with her for the same reason you wanted to

[C]

be with the first woman, she didn't want to be with you.

[E]

Right. And that's what I'm saying. The more, again, I'm agreeing with what you're saying. I'm saying the more she added to the definition, she's basically defining it out of that. So now it's not just like you're in two different situations. It's like, oh, now you're in two different situations. You don't want to support anybody, you're not living with anybody. And there are dudes that do that. Like, I know dudes that just have sex looking for short term sexual relationships and they don't give a what happens and they don't want to be with nobody and they don't take care of nobody.

[C]

I'm not disagreeing.

[A]

The plowers, yes.

[E]

But like, don't.

[C]

Look, I think you can't generalize and say that every.

[E]

Yeah, that's, that's why I, I agree with you. I think that's too much.

[A]

It's irresponsible. It's irresponsible. I'm glad to hear you say It. It's super irresponsible. Some niggas pulled out when they thought they was about to come, seeing they wasn't coming, and then put it back in. But by now the tips. The tip feel funny now. So now I can't really feel. So then it's some spillage. You're not a narcissist because there's spillage,

[C]

stupid.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it just means that it's a blizzard. It's a blizzard going. And they feel me out there. Some of these thought it was coming, pulled it out, thought they had some time, went back in. Buddy, buddy. Look at Po Po. Did it broke? Look at Po Po did it. What?

[C]

Oh, good point.

[D]

You know what I'm saying?

[C]

That's a great point.

[E]

What'd you say?

[D]

They said, yo, condoms break. Condom, condoms break. Now what?

[E]

It's the multiple, though.

[A]

Shit happens.

[C]

Life happens.

[F]

I've broken several condoms.

[C]

Relationships with people.

[A]

Condoms ain't the strongest anymore.

[E]

Nah, I'm with you.

[C]

I'm just saying there are relationships that condom breaks.

[D]

She get pregnant and say, hey, guess what? I'm keeping no matter what. Even if y' all wasn't in a

[E]

relationship and you do it two more times.

[D]

No if. I'm just saying it can.

[A]

Ha.

[D]

That doesn't make you a womanizer, though.

[E]

Oh, I'm with you. I'm just saying.

[D]

That's all. I'm just saying. I could come up with a bunch of different scenarios where you could end up with multiple baby moms and not be a woman.

[E]

I got. I got kids that 18 years apart and one I didn't know about. You know what I mean?

[F]

Womanizer.

[C]

You're a womanizer, though. So that don't really.

[E]

I might be, but not cuz of that. Yeah.

[C]

You know what I'm saying?

[E]

Like that or conversely, like you.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

I mean, there's people with no kids who are womanizers. You mean like, it all could be true? It all could be true. I just felt like sometimes we on and I love Shine Bright. I just. I just think again, like, I think she spoke too fast instead of just taking a step back and saying, actually, not all men, people who do this. She just kind of walked through that definition.

[A]

Front loaded. Yeah, she did that thing. She front loaded. Yeah. And she said a lot during the interview that.

[C]

No, some of that was. Yes, some of that she said was dope.

[A]

But, yeah, I just brought. And it triggered you guys really quick.

[E]

It worked.

[F]

Yeah, I think it worked.

[A]

Thanks. If there's anybody in the world that could not be Happier that J. Cole Civic broke down. It's me. It's me. I'm not gonna hide.

[F]

Cause you wanted to see the mechanic footage.

[A]

I'm not gonna hide it at all.

[C]

Parts.

[A]

I can't. I can't. I jumped for joy when the news came across my feed that J. Cole and this stupid performative ass Civic broke down like J. Cole knew it would.

[F]

It wasn't the newest of Civics.

[A]

His ass came out and said, this is a Civic from 96 when I got my first. That's the Civic. You shouldn't be driving. Jermaine, you shouldn't be driving. Go get a new Civic. Stop with this fucking. I'm rich, but I relate to you, College.

[B]

This is the first car I drove

[A]

when I had dreams of being a nigger. You talking about going from country side, one side of the country to another side of the country in a car.

[B]

A Civic in an old Civic.

[A]

In a Civic. In an old Civic. Then he got the nerve to tweet like he disappointed that it broke down. Nobody was happier than me and him that that car broke down. He talking about, yo, I guess I'll just get a Sprinter now. And Utah, we still rolling. We got got. We got them in the Sprinter for sale. Yes. The Sprinter holds more than the stupid Civic that you've been driving around in.

[B]

And nobody want to tell them because

[A]

we like them and we like the idea.

[D]

Now, they had him at the mechanic shop. They had the Civic up on the lift. They showing them what's wrong underneath.

[F]

That's the footage I wanted.

[C]

He gonna get that timing belt fixed. And he back at.

[D]

He back out there. All the fans showed up to the mechanic shop.

[F]

Yeah. See a new brake pad.

[A]

That's it.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Florida A, here we come.

[A]

J. Cole fan gonna make me hate them, too. See, I don't really have no beef with J. Cole fans, but if y' all gonna pull up to the Civic while it's being worked on.

[D]

Nah, that's.

[A]

Yeah, leave the beef. Apologize. Get out the beef.

[D]

They pulled up like hundreds deep to the little.

[A]

You like that. All this shit is fly, but I hate it. Why do I hate me?

[F]

It is self hatred.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Hey, Mike.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Do I hate anybody that just looks like they're doing them and having a blast?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Or is this just really stupid? Who. What are y' all gonna do when I'm gone? There's nobody to call out things that are really stupid. Jermaine Cole in this Civic is stupid. I'm glad it broke down good, fam. Gotta humble you gotta fix.

[B]

You get that back about right. He's driving a Civic.

[C]

My, how much more humble.

[A]

That was fake.

[E]

Humble.

[C]

You want him?

[A]

That was fake. That was fake. Humble. It is fake.

[B]

That's not real humble.

[D]

That's not true.

[A]

No, that is. That's not fake.

[B]

Humble.

[F]

You know what you gotta do is just get the Maybach body underneath the motherfucking Civic and just put the Civic on the top.

[A]

Yeah. Get back on the road.

[C]

No. Cause you're gonna have this much chance.

[B]

Tell me that's not fake.

[A]

Every picture J. Cole is in that Civic, he look dumber and dumber.

[B]

He's six' five, six' six.

[A]

Yeah. You one of the tallest rappers out there. It's like Slim Thug pulling up everywhere in the fucking Civic. We were clown. Slim Thug, bro.

[C]

He's showing his level of humility and he's being gracious for the journey in which he's.

[A]

He's selling. He's selling a lot of records and lying to my face in the process with this Civic. Enough of him. Enough of him.

[D]

What's the lie about the Civic?

[A]

I'm glad that God was on my side with this.

[D]

What's the lie about?

[A]

The lie is make it from.

[F]

You can get that Civic right back on the road there. Civics everywhere. Put a new transmission in that. You back in 20 minutes, dog.

[C]

The parts cost $17.

[D]

You talking about.

[B]

So he getting it fixed.

[D]

That's what I'm saying. Ain't no lie.

[A]

No, I don't respect him. What's my man name that walked from.

[F]

From Mike Poser.

[A]

Mike Poser. Mike Poser. Walked. He walked. He did. From one side of the country to another side of the country. If you was a fan of him, you had to prove it because you had to catch him on the side of i9. Whatever. If you was a fan of his, you had to meet up and give him. Him sandals because his feet was blistering. And that's real. That's real. Somebody else did something like this. This is just before.

[B]

You talking about.

[C]

Ain't nobody doing that.

[B]

Oh, Kendrick.

[A]

Oh, no. Kendrick. When Kendrick wanted to put a car in the. Boy, did he pick a cool one.

[F]

The Caravan.

[A]

Oh, I wasn't even going back.

[F]

Oh, that's not. Well, I guess it's humble.

[A]

No, I'm just. That's not. I'm just saying J. Cole and this Civic, he keeps applying the same thing, though. Kendrick story that he put to the GNX was gangster, but I'm just saying,

[D]

picked a car that was. That meant something. To them and their journey, basically, like he said, I always wanted this. I got this car. So I made it about this car, Cole. I had this car. This was the car. I'm taking it back to my roots.

[A]

Enough, J. Cole. I don't see enough for your roots. Listen, God had it going one way. I was hoping that it was a friendly carjack. Like, I was hoping it was a fan to come say, yo, dog, get out.

[E]

Come on, get out.

[F]

I want all the CDs.

[E]

Get out.

[A]

Come on.

[D]

The little ride arounds you do with the fans. Yeah, all right.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

No, no. You get out. I'm keeping the car.

[A]

Oh, thank God. That Civic has broke down. I hope it break down again.

[F]

No, I should be right back in the road that.

[B]

On the road now, man.

[C]

It's a Civic, my nigga.

[A]

I hope it breaks down again, man.

[C]

You get some Little League glue and some.

[F]

But a little motorcycle engine in that.

[B]

We right back crazy.

[A]

Done deal.

[C]

That's a rollout. That's part of his rollout.

[D]

I ain't mad at it.

[A]

The funny shit flatbed to Civic, State to State then. And be in.

[B]

He might be doing that. Be in whatever car you be in. I don't think he's driving that Civic.

[A]

Yo, when we was on tour with tech9, shout out to tech9. You told me tech9 wanted to relate to us. It was his tour. It was his tour. And he had millions and we didn't. And he wanted to relate to us.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

So he rode on a tour bus the way we rode on a tour bus.

[B]

And his Bentleys did, too work.

[A]

And when we all got to the venue, we got off our tour bus and he got off his. And his Maybach was traveling on the back of his. So his car was going state to state to remind us y' all niggas ain't shit. And y' all can't fuck with me and his print shop and his. Yeah, and his Merch and his 19 merch tour buses. Tech 9 is just a different piece to all the guy. Tech 9. You supposed to come up here for years and years and years. Would you come up here?

[D]

[C]

[D]

He went again.

[E]

He ain't want to.

[A]

He won't. They had enough of his.

[E]

They've expressed their feelings.

[A]

Oh, man. And it's weird because you the only one without a chain. You should have wore it like that. Yeah, he ain't like that. Shit like, don't shoot at me.

[D]

He's ready to go off. Yo, chill, chill, chill.

[A]

Oh, man. Thank God that car broke down.

[D]

That's crazy.

[C]

You think that car ain't gonna be

[F]

at that right back?

[D]

That is on the road now.

[C]

Broke down in Phoenix.

[B]

You think he drove from North Carolina to Phoenix?

[F]

Oh, I think he drove. Yeah. Just some. Not someone else drove that car.

[E]

All right.

[A]

Yeah. Don't.

[B]

Don't get it too up.

[C]

He was on somebody's tour bus. The Civic don't even carry enough CDs

[B]

to go from North Carolina to Phoenix.

[F]

Got the five.

[B]

[A]

Dumbass ain't even get the brabus Civic.

[B]

[A]

The S class.

[B]

[A]

He just got a regular.

[B]

[C]

Yo, what was the bougie Civic? A es

[A]

ex. A Ex. Ex.

[B]

Ex was the bougie.

[D]

That was the one.

[C]

That was the bougie one.

[A]

Shout out to JCole. Shout out. Out to the cold fans. Catch them somewhere. Some catch. Catch them at the air pump at the gas station. That Civic ain't got no air in the tires.

[D]

Got a donut on that.

[F]

Well, you won't know it. Don't got the little gauge on the dashboard. You just got to walk out and look. Be like this pulling to the left.

[B]

Yo, what the going on? Yeah, that's crazy, dog.

[C]

That could sell a million physicals if he go to another.

[A]

And that's why this is genius, because he already gonna sell the records that's in the store.

[F]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

And he gonna sell state to state.

[C]

Even if you downloaded it already off the DSPs or if you bought it off the deal. The fact that you could get your own signed physical copy, for sure he's gonna sell.

[A]

The fact that I get to take a picture of this stupid in a Civic with his dreads all hanging out the car. I'm getting this picture.

[D]

That's Pull up your look nicer than cold, yo.

[E]

And that's my point.

[A]

He killing it. But I'm just gaggy in the house. That's it.

[D]

That's really what it is.

[A]

I've seen that. I was like on a podcast. Look at the pod topic. Gods taking care of me. I was home willing that to break down. I was.

[B]

You ever feel like you manifested something up there?

[A]

Like, this is mine. Like, I was God heard me.

[B]

That is terrible.

[E]

Whatever.

[B]

Any dead ass too. What bad, y'?

[A]

All? Manifest destiny.

[F]

Mark's eyes lit up.

[A]

Mark. Mark is my man. Mark is my man.

[E]

I can't even share.

[B]

Yeah, it's probably bad.

[E]

Got a few, though.

[B]

Few good ones.

[E]

Few gems.

[D]

Give us one.

[E]

No, no, no. How about you?

[D]

Nah, I don't. I don't manifest bad on people.

[C]

Yeah, I try not to.

[E]

I only do it on my enemies.

[D]

I don't have any enemies.

[E]

Doesn't take much to be an enemy for me too.

[A]

So fairness, if I sit here long enough, I could think of mad bad shit. I'd be trying to will because I be wanting to see if God would just do some shit like that in front of me. Like it. Just be on the car and be in the car and see niggas on a bike.

[C]

I just like.

[A]

I wonder if they would just slam into some shit, fall off. Like just stupid shit for no reason.

[E]

Yeah, you don't want to die, Just.

[A]

Yeah, I don't want anybody to die.

[E]

It's a little humble.

[A]

Y' all not creative enough.

[C]

You right.

[A]

Anyways, what else is important? What else is unimportant? What else needs our attention? What else doesn't? But we're gonna give it to it anyway.

[E]

Well, that brings me to my stuff. No, no, actually I was thinking about. It's a sports thing. Pat Riley obviously got his eight foot statue in la.

[A]

Cool.

[E]

I love Pat Riley. One of the five greatest coaches of all time. To me, maybe even top three, you know what I mean? However you think about it, it's Pop, it's him. It's Phil Jackson.

[B]

It's a very short.

[E]

But he said something during his acceptance speech because they with the statue. They had him with his Armani suit on and he said the NBA should go back to the coaches wearing suits because you need to look like a leader on the side. Coaches need to be wearing suits so that people know who the leader is and that it brings something back to the league. And normally I hate shit like that. And I don't know if it's cause I'm getting old and I look at shit different or if it's cause it's the actual how the NBA is, but I agree with him 100%. I don't like watching coaches in sweatsuits.

[D]

I think it's a getting old part. Yeah.

[B]

I think.

[C]

I think nowadays a lot of these coaches are younger. Remember back in the day, coaches were typically older guys.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Today. And it's not.

[D]

It's. It's.

[C]

For some people, it's not comfortable. If you're a person that's not accustomed to wearing suits. Like, if you dress up every day, it just becomes okay for you. Like, it's not stiff. It's not constricting. It's not rigid.

[B]

Rigid.

[C]

If that's not your bag sweats or something, comfortable is your thing. Pop didn't even wear suits. Or toward the later part of his career, he wasn't wearing.

[E]

After the pandemic, everybody stopped.

[C]

You get what I'm saying? So I think that. That it just became acceptable because this is. Oh, sorry. This is what's comfortable.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[C]

Like, I don't know.

[E]

I don't like it makes it. It waters down the product. To me as a fan, I want my. If I'm paying somebody $10 million a coach, I want them to look like

[D]

I want them to. I want them to win.

[A]

I ain't gonna lie. I went to the Nick game the other day against the Rockets, and I don't know what the fuck IME Aduka had on, but it was noticeable. Like he just didn't give a fuck. Like, rockets, black sweatshirt, black sweatpants. Like, yo, dog, whatever.

[D]

Did they win?

[A]

They might have. No, they didn't.

[C]

They lost by two.

[A]

No 18 point, fourth quarter comeback. Go, Nick. Stop playing with us. Damn. But I'm just saying, the way he looked on the sideline, it was. It was a little confusing I. With him as a coach. But you look. You look like one of your assistant coaches.

[D]

Yes, I get it. I understand it. I just think the focus.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Shouldn't be on. What the.

[A]

Let me play this Pat Riley clip.

[B]

James Worthy from Schenectady, New York. You know, back in the day, that's where I was born.

[A]

I love it.

[E]

Me too.

[B]

To be a Laker in 1970.

[A]

You're in, Nick. At the Forum. No, with these guys right here.

[B]

All of these men right here. And of all of them, there's only

[A]

one who is showing me true respect today, and that's James Worthy, who has a tie on. He's wore.

[E]

Thank you.

[B]

Clever.

[A]

James Worthy got a T on, but Magic looked like 20,000,000,000 bucks. Magic boy, whatever that medicine is.

[B]

He took a step, dog.

[A]

I remember going to My cousin house at the 91 press conference. The house was sad. We thought we were losing Magic. So for the medicine to not only keep you alive, but keep you looking better than the people that don't have it.

[C]

Nigga, that nigga looks better than the 40 year olds out here.

[A]

Yeah, Magic looks better.

[C]

Looks amazing. Magic just sitting there with the suit on with the little T shirt under it, laughing, but still. Big smile, everything funny. Looking rich.

[E]

He took care of himself.

[C]

Yeah, Just came off the yacht in Saint Tropez.

[D]

That's what I was gonna ask you. Did you see the yacht?

[A]

But the.

[B]

It's hard to be mad when I seen the pictures.

[D]

I'm just saying.

[C]

In the yacht club.

[D]

I'm just saying, when that's the yacht. Got a point.

[A]

And his son, I know his son is gay, but he still got. Yes, Mark, he gets some signs. Okay, okay. His son is gay, but he still got the Magic Johnson jeans. So he like six' eleven, he tall as hell. Just like Magic in the face. We've been in the blizzard just talking bullshit. Yo, we've been in the blizzard talking so much. We caught a good relationship algo on. On Instagram and then the got lost and we both had a connection. No, we lost.

[B]

It's been so much fun.

[D]

Hate when I happen.

[A]

I like lizard behavior. I don't see how anybody could be mad at what's going on and shout out to Magic Johnson.

[F]

But.

[A]

But the important part about what Pat Riley is saying, what, What I got from it was that a tie is the sign of respect. And no tie means to respect this lesson. What do y' all think about that? I know that's old school shit.

[E]

That's very old school.

[D]

I think it's just old school.

[A]

I think the new age version of that is a blazer. If you wear a blazer, then that is a sign of respect, right?

[C]

Yeah, I think it depends on the environment. Like I'm not a fan. Cause nowadays people, one of my people's work in HR and they said, yo, people just becoming interviews, wearing anything. And back in the day, yo, if you went to an interview, dog, you was suited and booted. Nowadays people be coming to interviews like just with a button down shirt on, you know what I'm saying? So I think we've as a society become lax. I think it depends on the environment.

[F]

Depends on the interview.

[B]

I think too in the environment.

[C]

Like even the tech dudes that be making a shit ton of money, they going to interviews looking crazy.

[D]

Well, look at the culture. Yeah, the culture at the job again, they felt somewhere it switched, and it was like, the more comfortable you are at work, the better, the more productive you can be.

[C]

If the job says I could dress like that, I'm a dress like that once I get hired. But I'm going to the interview with my Sunday's best on. You know what I'm saying? And that's how I just view it. I think that. To your point, I just think that the environment dictates how we dress.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

You know what I'm saying?

[E]

I agree.

[A]

I agree.

[E]

I don't think you're a better coach with a suit on, but I do think it projects something different. And it just. I'm just saying.

[C]

A respect thing, too.

[E]

Yeah, Yeah. I want to look like different than my players.

[C]

I'm on your team now. I think that even the players, these younger players, might respect you a little bit more if they see you with a suit on. It represents a position of authority. Yeah, I agree with that. I wouldn't be mad if they went public back to that.

[E]

I hope they do.

[A]

I talked all that about J. Cole and the Civic, but I did mean to ask y' all if we buying a suite for J. Cole at the Garden.

[F]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

Let's go.

[F]

Oh, yeah, yeah, let's go.

[A]

Isn't that one of those things that we have to. Have to be there for?

[F]

We could all, you know, what we should do? I think we should all rent Civics and show up in solidarity.

[E]

Can you rent a Civic?

[F]

Yeah, that's a good question, but we'll figure it out.

[E]

Not this.

[D]

You can get a Civic, though.

[B]

Where can you rent for rental prices?

[A]

Buy one.

[E]

I'm not being funny. I didn't know you could do that. Yes, I know they rent cars at them spots. I just thought it be like Kia. I never seen a Civic there, is all I'm saying. I seen like, Kia.

[C]

I've seen. I've seen everything.

[B]

Yeah, okay. Wish I would have rent a goddamn Civic.

[C]

You're only five, six then.

[A]

You mean comfy.

[F]

Yeah. You showed up in a Smart car

[E]

or whatever that was that you do that Mitsubishi? Yeah. Half Y. Didn even speak to me when I was in that.

[D]

Damn sure didn't.

[F]

You're like the coach of the sweatsuit. We take you serious in the vehicle.

[D]

Pull up something we respect you in, bro.

[A]

Not that like, he added a show to the Garden. I do feel like we have to be in the Garden for J. Cole.

[E]

When is.

[A]

I'm not? The 2nd and the 4th. August. August 2nd and August. Oh, yeah.

[F]

Summertime too.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Birthday month. Yeah. Sweet a sweet. I'll get the sweet this time. We'll split the food.

[D]

You went crazy with that food. I know you can't give you no menu.

[A]

I shouldn't do it like that on my own devices. On Zek down too. Just ordering shit. Yeah, stupid as hell.

[F]

Sushi and hot dogs.

[D]

Hey, it's another one coming. We gonna need a sweet for too.

[F]

What's that?

[A]

What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? What else before we have to get to the fucking Mexico cartel.

Like the way that it's shot, the way that it looks. Yeah. The way that they do Drama and suspense. I love all of it. I love all of it. Episode one, I thought was fly. I do have a gripe.

[D]

Oh, I got. I could play the whole episode.

[A]

I do have a gripe.

[A]

I look forward to. What was the theme last year? It wasn't dandy's last year.

[B]

Year.

[A]

The year before was dandyism, I think.

[C]

I think it was last year.

[D]

That was last year before that was camp.

[A]

I think they smoke that dandy. This is a good one to follow. Smoke that. Fashion is art. I with it. And remember this is the one that Beyonce and Gaga and who's the lady. I like who's the lady On Nicole Kidman. Now I'm just lying. It might not be Nicole Kidman.

[C]

Meryl.

[A]

No, it's one of them. They celebrating the few of them. A few of them are ambassadors or some.

[D]

As soon as I heard fashion is art, the first person I thought of was Gaga.

[C]

Like, nah, I thought of Tiana.

[D]

What Tiana going to do?

[F]

You thought of that?

[B]

That meat, that dress, all that type of.

[D]

She used to do the galaxy helmet, whatever the it was.

[F]

As long as she leaves the meat dress at home this time. That was.

[B]

That was a lot.

[A]

The meat dress.

[F]

The meat dress was crazy.

[A]

How mad y' all think JLO was watching Lady Gaga at the Bad Bunny Super Bowl?

[C]

Yeah, he was right. What Beyonce. Nicole Kidman. Hey, Venus Williams and Anna Winter.

[A]

Got it. Okay. I thought I was confusing my girl with somebody. I love that for Nicole Kidman. Nicole Kidman also has a fire show on Amazon.

[F]

Oh, really?

[A]

Yep.

[F]

She don't mess with the show.

[A]

I ain't started. I ain't started.

[D]

What's the name of it?

[A]

Just put. Listen, her name is her name. That's true. That's true. All you gotta do is put her name and something will come up. I don't miss nothing to Cole Kidman. And it's always a murder to miss word. So I'm in Scarpetta. Yeah, Scarpetta is on my list.

[D]

Comes out March 11th.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Wrote it down. It's gonna be good. Gonna be good, Mom. You hear that? Scarpetta? My mom is so good for calling me seven months after we talked about a show and said, joey, what was that show that y' all said I should watch on episode 590? Ma, I don't remember.

[F]

We watched ways.

[B]

I watched all the shows, man.

[D]

People do that about music.

[A]

Landsmen.

[D]

What song was that Joe played in the beginning of episode 708?

[C]

Nick said, Yo, y' all don't do sleepers no more. Y' all need to at least start titling what Joe puts in in the intro in the outro.

[A]

Please. Oh, please.

[B]

I just worked there.

[D]

That's my answer for everything.

[A]

Mark, we have some rest in peace.

[F]

We do.

[E]

We do.

[A]

And it should not be noted that you didn't body the white rest in peace last time.

[E]

Yeah, I left that to y', all, the white ones.

[A]

You just be like, rest in peace.

[E]

He lived. He died.

[A]

Sucks. Sucks. You died after Jesse. That was. Gave my all for that one bad day to die.

[B]

Bad day.

[A]

That's horrible.

[E]

And I really like Robert Duvall.

[A]

That's the thing.

[E]

That's my man.

[C]

Bobby Duvall's him.

[E]

Ain't no Jesse Jackson, man. But.

[A]

No, I was talking about Eric Dane.

[E]

Oh.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, you got him. It's all right.

[E]

Can't do that. Can't win them all, man.

[B]

You know what I mean? I know that I can't do them all.

[E]

Well, today, I was just gonna say Willie Colon, you know, one of the great musicians of his generation. Legend and salsa right here. Not here, but across the. Across the water there from New York, but from PR and origins, parents really kind of put him on. And I love his story because the story of rediscovery. He sort of was able to kind of reengage his Puerto Rican roots, learning language, becoming really enmeshed in salsa, and became just a legend on the scene, man. Even people who don't know salsa might know Tiburon. They might know Pedro Navaja. There's a series of songs that, you know, if you know Willie Colon for sure, little weird toward the end of his career in terms of his politics. Got a little. Yeah, little funny. He did, but he's had some. But the thing I love about him was throughout his whole life, he was courageous, man. He always spoke the truth as he saw it. He had moments where he was like really, really fighting for freedom. Not just Puerto Rican liberation, but human liberation. He represented political candidates when it was dangerous. And he was a very talented musician. He started as a trombonist.

[F]

Trombonist?

[E]

Yeah, trombonist. But then obviously a great vocalist, you know, and a great producer and got a great ear. He's just a legend, man.

[F]

So rest in peace.

[A]

Rest in peace.

[E]

I also want to shout out Kyra Braxton, WNBA player who passed away in a tragic car accident. A two time champion.

[A]

Wow.

[E]

Really? WNBA star. And she passed away tragically a couple days ago. So we just want to send a rest in peace to her and her family.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Rest in peace to Rondell Moore, wide receiver for the Vikings. I believe he played for the Cardinals.

[C]

Yeah.

[F]

Talented young man, 25 years old. We don't know the cause of death yet, but our thoughts and prayers are with him. Also Herb Trowig. He was a music manager, managed Brian McKnight and Tyrese and a bunch of people. But was later in life on Pensado's place, which was big for the engineering and producer community. They did a lot of interviews with producers and engineers. He was the co star of that show they do have. He passed away at 69. Rest In Peace to Herb Triwig and thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

[A]

Rest in peace.

[E]

So many.

[D]

I was saying they did release the cause of death for Rondell Moore.

[F]

Oh, they did.

[C]

What?

[D]

They said self inflicted gunshot wound.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[F]

Wow. Rest in peace.

[E]

That's more Carrie Braxton. Her Willie colon off her body, man.

[C]

25.

[A]

Too young.

[F]

Way too young.

[A]

The room knows, yo.

[E]

Some things that happen.

[A]

Oh, man.

[F]

Recipes.

[A]

Great.

[F]

So we lost.

[A]

Hey,

[D]

You got a little baby.

[B]

Wish that I could love you,

[D]

Y' all speak. Speaking of rest in pieces, did y' all hear this that meta got going on now?

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Filed a patent, which basically it, it tracks your, your, your social media posting and then after you pass it will continue on posting as you to allow your. Your network to continue communicating with you after you're gone.

[E]

Oh, I hate every part of that.

[F]

Yes.

[D]

It's disgusting.

[E]

Creepy.

[D]

Very creepy.

[F]

I heard a term that they used for it and I'll probably be butchering it, but it was something like, like specter labor. Which is crazy.

[E]

Yeah. I mean, that's what it is. Yeah. Jesus.

[F]

Like, give me a break.

[C]

What are you talking about? You're allowing your network to still communicate with you.

[E]

I hate. I don't even.

[C]

Like we're not communicating with you, number one. Number Two, do you know what type of hurt and grief and pain that brings back up in your family members and your friends?

[E]

I don't even like when people call. Like I have friends who have died and people take their phones and call from that number or post on their Facebook. That shit creeps me out. I know they did.

[A]

You know me.

[E]

But if I'm start getting messages from people posting like you're posting like they're not.

[D]

You seen awards yesterday, right? Nah, fam, I'm good.

[C]

I'm cool.

[F]

Meta's doing a bunch of weird shit, I'm not gonna lie. The glasses. The meta technology is a major privacy concern. They're gonna incorporate facial recognition so you can just look up people's Facebook pages and Instagrams.

[C]

The two young kids from Harvard, one local, one black boy, they, they came up with the tech. It does the facial recognition shit and it pulls any information that's available on the Internet of you.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So it'll be like if it saw you, your shit will come up. It'll have your wife, your kids or whatever. So somebody might walk. Hey, what's up, Parks? How's running Trim?

[B]

Yo, you guys still.

[C]

She still working?

[B]

Blah, blah, blah.

[C]

You might think you met them at the Christmas party and they don't know you from.

[A]

Right.

[C]

But you'll let your guard down thinking that this might be one of my wife's co workers or some like that. My, that's scary.

[F]

It's scary for like every woman in the world should be absolutely terrified. That is some opening some doors for some super psycho behavior.

[C]

How's Timmy? Soccer?

[B]

He still plays soccer. You're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

And you just gotta get again, you think that this person is knowing you from somewhere. So you don't want to be a complete. So you'll let your guard down a little bit. Opening the door for some potential predator. That's nuts to me, B.

[F]

Especially when the glasses look like just regular Ray bans or whatever, you know, scary bro. Oakley's or whoever they got the contract with, they got. They're going to have to do something about this. This is an invasion of privacy.

[D]

Ain't no privacy no more, man.

[F]

True.

[D]

I keep trying to tell you.

[B]

We, we, we.

[D]

Privacy is an illusion.

[C]

That's right.

[D]

We do not have privacy anymore in anything.

[B]

Yeah, it's over.

[A]

This want to be on Black Mirror so bad.

[B]

I used to be still.

[D]

What episode? Oh, what episode?

[F]

Oh, the one where they're playing the video game.

[D]

No, I'm cool. I'm not going to striking Vipers be.

[A]

Last season of Black Mirror was fire. Nobody talks about it, but it was fire.

[F]

There was a couple. There was a couple that were super. There was a couple that were.

[A]

Most of them were super. Fire to me anyways. Let me not speak for anybody else. And I hated the two before it. Like, I'm not a black mirror guy.

[F]

Oh, I'm a black mirror.

[A]

I got this last season of Black Mirror. You don't really have to be a black mirror guy.

[B]

Yeah, well, that's them shits.

[A]

They took the societal issues to your front door. What this shit gonna look like in the future, right?

[D]

They did that from episode one.

[A]

Regret.

[D]

The very first.

[A]

Oh, you mean the first.

[D]

Yeah, the very, very. Yeah. Like, that's literally what they doing is just showing you and your face. They find a different way to dress it up. But this what we dealing with.

[A]

Let's see here. What else? What else?

[E]

Complain a little bit, huh? I want to complain.

[F]

Oh, please.

[A]

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You waited. You waited long enough.

[E]

Yeah, man. This Gavin Newsom thing got me. Had me on 10. Oh, I was pissed. So the. The Internet, I, you know, I have good sense, so I knew to pay a little. A little more attention to things. But there was a text going around, or a. What do you call it? Like a tweet going around about Gavin Newsom, governor of California, saying that he had said this racist thing at the event. Did y' all hear it? Did y' all see it?

[D]

No.

[E]

So the quote was that Gavin Newsom was at an all black voter event in Atlanta and said to them, hey, I'm like, you. I got 960 on my SAT and I can't read. And the Internet went crazy with it. Rap artists who shall remain nameless posted it. Major political commentators, right wing political commentators, from Sean Hannity to everybody posted it. Left wing commentators posted it saying, like, this is why we can't trust the Democrats. They're racist too. I mean, it was like wildfire. And something said, this ain't right. I don't think he would do that.

[C]

You researching it?

[E]

Yeah, so. And the thing is, it ain't take that much research. I just went and watched his interview.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

It went around with a clip.

[A]

Same thing I did.

[F]

Most people are not doing that, by the way.

[E]

Exactly. And this is the frustration because it went around with the clip. So I heard the clip, but even in the clip, he wasn't saying what they said he said. And I'm always skeptical. The moment I see a quote with direct quotes on it, that's different than a video. I'm already like, okay, what's really happening? So I went to YouTube. I found the interview, and like, there's like four or five things happening. That's different, right? First thing he was talking about is dyslexia. And he didn't say, I can't read. He said, I can't read speeches, right? And he was explaining why he couldn't read the speech. That was the first thing. Also, when you look at the clip, there's a glitch. There's like a half a second jump in the clip. So clearly they cut something out, of course, right? He said, I'm not better than you.

[B]

You.

[A]

Right?

[E]

I got a nonsense basically saying, I'm a regular guy. The next thing I said, they keep saying it's a speech to black voters. I sell books for a living. And when a white person comes to town, it ain't usually a room full of black people there for politicians. If it's a person black. And I'm not saying black people don't read books. They just don't usually care about politicians

[C]

to that extent, especially white ones.

[E]

So I made some phone calls, Then I found some videos. The room is 95% white. So he wasn't talking to black people. He didn't say, I can't read. And even when he said 960, again, he was talking in the context. The question that was asked to him by the interviewer who was the mayor of Atlanta was. They also said he insulted black interviewer. They didn't even know enough to know was the mayor of Atlanta. He was saying, like, what did you learn from your journey? And he was like, basically like, I'm not better than anybody else.

[A]

So.

[E]

And then I said, you know, let me see if he said this before, because politicians don't usually say shit on book tour that they. He said the same shit to Charlie Kirk. If anything, he shouldn't have been talking to Charlie Kirk. But he did an interview with Charlie Kirk. Everywhere he goes on BookTube, he says the exact same words. So it became a controversy. And what pisses me off about it, it's not just that the right wingers are doing it. Cause they do that on purpose because they're scared of Gavin Newsom because they think he can be the next president. And he can.

[C]

He could.

[E]

It's the fact that the left wingers jumped on it. The black people, everybody jumped on it. And then everybody repeats the story and they say things that are facts as if they're not facts. And then when you argue, people, they say, no, look, it's right there in the griot. Oh, look, it's right there.

[A]

Over there.

[E]

As if to disprove me. And I'm like, well, here's the actual evidence. All you're doing is showing people repeating the same lie. But we don't. And this is why we have to actually study. This is why we have to actually look shit up before we get outraged by it. You know what I mean? This is why we actually have to do our homework. Because by the time it got corrected, it was too late.

[C]

And the bots were also already fucked. That guy.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

The bots created.

[E]

Created, yes.

[D]

That's really cool. It's big business. And they have little. Like the bots create that, they'll cut it up, they'll splice it, put the whole together, whatever you want somebody to say, you can make them say it if you get enough. Enough video of it.

[E]

Exactly.

[F]

This goes back to my engagement farm, farming beef earlier in the pod. Like, I know you can't make it illegal, but there should be something.

[E]

I'm not against it being illegal to like disinformation. You know what I mean? It's one thing to say, look, we say the wrong thing, we all can say the wrong shit. I mean, up here, we all say some shit that's incorrect. You can't do any show without saying something inaccurate. But when you make a campaign to miseducate the public or to give the public bad information to do harm, I don't know how to deal with it. But on the list of shit that should be illegal, that would be the one I'd fight last. I'll just say that.

[D]

But even that, let's say, was illegal, again, like you said, the damage is already gonna be done.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

So even if you catch whoever made that, you know what I'm saying? You catch them, you bring them up on whatever charge we now have that we can bring them up on, the damage is done. Too many people that jumped on it. It's accepted as fact. And people don't usually hear the cleanup,

[C]

but it'll discredit the people. Or if the penalty is severe enough, it'll discourage them from doing it. I think that you can lie. I think when politicians or people that. That have been appointed or elected to be figures of authority, we place them with a certain level of responsibility and a certain level of trust. And I think when they purposefully do it, then I think that shit should be really, really punishable.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

You know what I mean? Talking shit you know what I'm saying? When you are a person that's been elected by the masses, people put their faith in you to lead them or to do what's right for them. I think it's fucked up when those people are the ones. Ones that's doing the bullshit or lying or swaying the public for their own benefit. I think it's fucked up, man.

[D]

Homeboy bought Twitter and then incentivized people to do the bullshit on Twitter.

[F]

True.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And we're here.

[E]

That's where the money is. The money's in the bullshit. Literally.

[C]

You're right.

[E]

I hate it, man. I was on there yesterday, and I don't even. I'm not even a Gavin Newsom fan. I just, like. I just feel the need to speak up for the truth and also to not let dumb shit get us destroyed. I got called every coon, every Uncle Tom. You tap dancing for massive news. I don't even like this motherfucker. You know what I mean? But we gotta. Again, we gotta tell the truth, man. I just hate the confidence with which people were speaking about this. And people who I respect. I mean, I'm watching people. I mean, Cornel west was on there blasting him for it.

[F]

Really?

[E]

And again, there's plenty of reasons to criticize Gavin Newsom. I'm not saying you gotta.

[B]

There's plenty of reasons to not just

[D]

say one of them.

[E]

This ain't one of them. And Cornell didn't mean any harm. He was repeating what he got from the news, but again, like, you can't trust the news no more. So, anyway, that's. That's my rant for the day. Do your own homework. Y' all study this.

[D]

They're not.

[F]

They won't.

[C]

They won't.

[E]

Yeah. At least I could say I said it.

[C]

Yeah, you.

[A]

And more news. El Mencho.

[F]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

El Mencho. The last of the old guard. The final mass trafficking Titan. Titan standing alongside El Chapo and El Mayo. Now fight fallen. Marking the end of an era in Mexican Mexican organized crime. At least 13 states burn in Mexico as cartel retaliates against US assisted federal killing of elements.

[E]

Play the song for him.

[B]

Good.

[A]

I triple dare you. I. You might be setting me up. Oh, no.

[D]

He's setting you up.

[A]

You might be setting me up.

[E]

No. We all got

[C]

alone soon.

[A]

Yeah, no, but when this broke the other day, I mean, it all broke fast, too. Like, they got him. They got him. They were tailing a love interest. That's how they found him. Yeah.

[E]

Every time.

[D]

Every time.

[A]

The love interest right

[B]

yeah, yeah, that box.

[A]

And they retaliated rather quickly. Streets on fire, airports, the people in the airport.

[C]

That was kind of scary. It was because you put yourself in that circumstance, in that predicament. Like, you could be in the airport with your family, awaiting a flight and just running there on some Rambo.

[B]

That's frightening, terrible.

[C]

With your children or your kids, your girl. You know what I'm saying? That's just some other level.

[A]

Apparently, he had $15 million on his head.

[B]

They had a reward.

[A]

Anybody that brings him in, I don't know enough about this guy.

[D]

This is my first time hearing about him.

[E]

Da Vinci's a badass and had the streets locked. I'm actually worried about the power vacuum that it's creating now, because one of the things that happens. We saw this in Afghanistan. We've seen in other places where sometimes. Or Iraq. Like, sometimes, like, you think getting rid of the big boss is going to calm shit down. Now everybody's fighting for that position. And that's what you see right now in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta. Like, in all these places, you see people fighting for this space, and the violence is escalating. And President Sheinbaum of Mexico was kind of responding to the pressure that was applied by Trump, because Trump was like, I'm. Impose economic sanctions, tariffs, all this shit, if y' all don't stop the fentanyl from coming in. That's the argument. And so they kind of applied extra pressure. And sometimes the gangs and the cartels are keeping in order.

[C]

Yes.

[E]

And there's no order right now. And so I think the shit is gonna get worse before I get better.

[A]

What's the.

[C]

With Zoe Saldana that we like?

[D]

Lioness.

[C]

Remember your girl? Ain't that Kim bae? No, that's.

[F]

No, that is her.

[C]

Kim Basinger.

[B]

No, it's not.

[C]

Nicole Kidman's husband was like, yo, y' all going to kill his dude. Y' all should leave him alone. And was like, yo, sometimes the devil we know is the devil that's controllable. When you cut the head off of that. Now, the motherfuckers, that's the underlings under them could be way more ruthless, way more conniving, way more. You know what I'm saying? Or you just got a whole bunch of bandits now running around doing wild shit. Homeboy was maintaining a certain level of order, even if it wasn't order from our perspective, it was order nonetheless. And so when you do that, like, now you got just a bunch of yahoos running around trying to. Trying to become the man.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, y' all said, that airport. She was.

[B]

That was scary.

[A]

Terrifying.

[C]

That was scary, B.

[A]

Like.

[F]

And just any of the street, like, people. Those are people. Civilians that live out there that are now.

[C]

And they were saying they was specifically targeting American tourists for sure. Of the America's quote unquote involvement in the street.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Come on, B.

[E]

It's bad.

[C]

Yeah. That's terrible. Yeah, man.

[A]

I ain't took a vacation in a while, and it looks like I won't be taking a vacation, I'm not gonna lie.

[D]

Cool.

[C]

I've been really looking for places to go. It's so much civil unrest over here and abroad. You kind of scared to go, so. Cuz I want to go somewhere new. So you kind of like, damn, this different.

[D]

[A]

I ain't going to Utah.

[E]

Utah ain't bad. I had a great time in Utah last time.

[C]

No, that Utah spot is.

[E]

I went doing Sundance, but it was like. I didn't go two Sundays, but I went around that time. It was. Oh, y' all got some other.

[C]

No, I think he got.

[E]

His bracket's a little higher.

[C]

He got a little bigger parentheses than me, but, you know.

[A]

Yeah, but he pays more. He pays more bills, too.

[E]

Exactly. Maybe he's a lot more liquid.

[A]

Yeah. There's nothing wrong with it, brother.

[B]

You talking about that liquid ain't there. That is bubbles in the water. I don't know what the you talking about.

Then is wrong with you? Here goes. There is raindrops falling on the roo. Hopefully you've enjoyed this show as much as we enjoyed delivering it to you. Keep us in your prayers. Lord knows we need to be there. But until next time, we bid you ado farewell, adio. Cerebra di hasta la vista. Au revoir. So long, goodbye or the simple head knob will suffice. Remember life is a series of moments and moments pass. So let's make this one last as if it's all we have. And last but certainly not least, it goes. Wait a minute. Every little thing you do. Hey, baby,

[E]

Hey.

[A]

Last but certainly not least, the baddies are insecure. The stagnant women want to travel. When the closed minded women want you to teach them things. Grab you with Tylenol. You may not needed again. Stay safe out there in this weather. If you're traveling, please be careful. Shout out to everybody who had canceled flights and all of that. Trying to get it back together. Flip. Can't wait till you back, my brother. Please. Words. And that's it. Shout out to everybody with a stock fridge and a space heater on 90. Till next time. Yeah, hold up, man. Yeah, some Jana up in this piece. Before I go real quick. We miss you.

[A]

I don't need this. Yeah. Till next time. Y' all hold it down out there. Please be safe.

[B]

Just run away? Get away? Find a new love? Run away.
