Episode Overview

Episode 915, titled "21 Shots," brings the full Joe Budden Podcast crew together for another high-energy and hilarious round-table. With the entire gang present—Joe, Parks, Ish, Ice, Queenzflip, and Damona, plus guests B Dot and Mark Lamont Hill—the episode plays out as a three-hour stream of random, thoughtful, and often wild discussions. The crew cycles through everything from strip club banter and viral health trends, to in-depth music reviews, cultural commentary, and lots of friendly (sometimes rowdy) debate. The headline topic is the R&B "Verzuz" battle between Tank and Tyrese, but the episode also takes memorable detours into relationships, masculinity, discipline, and the politics of feminism. Sprinkled throughout are music reviews, pop culture hot-takes, and comedic moments that showcase the unique chemistry and chaotic friendship of the cast.

[A]

B Dot is our guest. I know we normally don't make new people feel warm and snuggly so we trying to.

[G]

I mean, I'll you up.

[C]

Y' all made me feel warm and snuggly.

[A]

Oh, good, good. I love that.

[G]

You see a man parts.

[A]

Hey, tape, tape. Clip that up in case we need it for future usage. Can never be too sure. What's up, y'?

[G]

All?

[A]

I did all. I did all the intro, right? We cool, right?

[B]

We good?

[A]

All right, let's. Let's get to talking. Come on. Tank vs Tyrese vs I turned it on my Apple TV too early. It never start on time. Now I got to look at interviews and all types of on. I hate when I The Hulk is

[B]

doing their best to try to hype that crowd up. I turned that off for a little bit.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. And I rushed through. I had a stretch appointment at 7:30 to 8:30. So I stretch. So I'm rushing.

[B]

Try to get that 21 out.

[A]

No, no, no. Not. Not that type of stuff.

[F]

End of the month.

[A]

Yo, Parks. The streets are saying you coming for my chain.

[F]

Oh, man.

[B]

Yo, it look good on me.

[G]

I think Park's body in there.

[A]

I'm seeing way too much. Parks, his name at the end of a month. This nor my man. Yeah, but yeah, they. They trying to give him unchained. It feels like.

[E]

I feel like now that is. I think I'm kind of out the race. I'm not definitely not in the top three. I feel like everybody who was going to vote for me should just vote for Parks. Everybody who was going to vote for myself.

[A]

Why n haters like that up here?

[E]

I just want. I wanted.

[A]

Oh, well, that ain't before people. Anyway, you had a bad.

[E]

Okay, we'll see. I think we should just funnel all

[A]

the park stands know he not in

[G]

top three, so he's trying to go live with Parks. Nigga, we see your chicks.

[A]

He don't need your votes, which is dangerous. That's what people. That's what people don't need your votes. That's what people accuse doing with your real vote.

[E]

That's a good joke.

[B]

That was good.

[A]

Jill Stein.

[E]

We got it.

[A]

No, no, I'm. I'm fighting. I'm fighting. Listen, all right, Come on. I'm assuming everybody here saw Tank versus Tyrese. What. What. What are our initial thoughts before I. I got a whole rant.

[E]

It went the way I said it was going to go to me. Like, they both can sing, they both talented. But I think that the now that versus is so much about the live performance. That's what Tank to me, shined above

[B]

and he pulled some Some celebrity cards.

[E]

Yeah, he did some things, but that's what I thought he was going to do. You know what I mean? I ain't mad at it. Like, do what you got to do.

[A]

You said it, Mark.

[B]

He was also just great at, like, interacting with the crowd and the screen. He was.

[F]

Yeah, he was way more charismatic. He was way more person. I don't. He mopped the floor with Tyrese, too. I don't want to say that because I fuck with Tyrese, but the Turtleneck

[B]

song slide, it was like.

[G]

It wasn't even close.

[E]

Turtleneck shit was.

[F]

It wasn't even close.

[D]

A lot of jackets, you know, some of the songs were kind of obscure, like, I didn't know them, but I think it overall was kind of like, one sided.

[A]

Now, I happened to see Tyrese's interview before the verses dropped.

[B]

I did not.

[A]

And I came in. I came. I forgot to come in here, the last part and say, hey, I think that Tank is going to completely put belt to ass on Tyrese. And I wouldn't have been saying that because I spoke to Tank. That would have had nothing to do with why I was saying that. Yeah. If I wasn't retired. I mean, trying to get a little. She don't put it down. Well, she don't put it down action.

[B]

Would you pop out for that?

[A]

No. Versus no.

[F]

Did he ask? Damn.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

He asked you for.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, that would have been fun.

[B]

How many times you should have popped

[G]

out for that, man.

[A]

And rap.

[C]

That would have broke the name.

[D]

What do you mean?

[A]

I love that song.

[C]

You did it, cuz. You loved it.

[B]

You only got about 20 bars of that.

[F]

No, that's why you should have did it.

[A]

All right, guys, Could y' all stop yelling at me?

[C]

Jesus.

[A]

Anyway, let me play this Tyrese interview for y'.

[C]

All.

[A]

I know he's really excited. I may not be as excited as he is.

[B]

We can tell.

[A]

Why not? I think Tank is a different category of singer than me.

[F]

Right.

[A]

So when we've been approached in the past, I'm like, no. Tank needs to be singing with Brian McKnight. Tank needs to be singing with Stokely from Mint Condition. He needs to sing with somebody who has a hype. This is positive hate sings and what's called false setup.

[I]

Hitting notes way up there.

[A]

I'm not that. You know, he needs to be doing a verses with Eric Benet or just somebody who sings. This nigga's crazy. He don't just sing high voice. I am in the raspy category. Like Cisco, like KC Teddy. All this sounds scary to me.

[B]

I wouldn't say raspy.

[I]

Different pedigree of voice.

[A]

So I just don't think we're compatible, period. I know.

[D]

So.

[A]

No, I never wanted to do a versus with Tank.

[F]

I might lose.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I might lose.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

He came in with the bad mentality.

[E]

Practice.

[A]

Tank. 30 shows to get to, you know, you gotta figure out, like he said. He said, what I make in 10 shows, it'll take tank 30 shows to get to.

[B]

In a group age.

[C]

Damn. That was.

[A]

That's what he said. That this was some hater if I ever heard it. Number one. Number two, it sound sounded to me very early on like he was afraid.

[C]

Yeah. Fear. Packed with fear.

[A]

Like he was scared.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Which Tyrese has been up here, friend of the show, for sure. He came up here popping his. He came up here with all the bravado and macho machismo confidence in the universe. Understandably so.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

But when I heard that, I was like, oh, belt to ass. Even more for Tyrese. This ain't gonna go good. And then the verses start. Tang opens up with the sex, love and pain, Sex, love, and pain intro into his I can't make you love me cover two joints that I absolutely love. And what a great way to open RB verses with you on the piano getting in your bag. Tyrese responds with. With the features. He came out, told Tank he was putting the crowd to sleep. And he responds with da Brat. What do you like? I was outside when that song came. I had that album. That song meant a lot to me. Followed into Chingy Pulling me Back. I was signed by that point. I know what Chingy Pulling Me Back was doing. And Chingy came out.

[B]

Yeah, that's fire.

[A]

I scored a point for Tyrese, but

[F]

I knew he lost. You knew who lost Tyres right there. I know he lost the whole job.

[A]

Why?

[F]

Because those two songs, like, to your point, I was outside, and I saw what those songs did outside. They didn't resonate with that crowd in a manner like I thought they would.

[A]

Right.

[F]

That. That Brat shit was a smash. That Chingy song had niggas outside. The crowd was like, oh, okay. And I was like, oh, yeah, he lost.

[A]

I gave the Brat. I gave Tyrese that. That round.

[F]

He got it. But again, it didn't do what it should have done.

[C]

Done.

[F]

I. I had him win too. Yeah, Yeah.

[A]

I gave that round.

[E]

Had to play such a high card to me to. To. To win the round. I. I. I felt the same way.

[C]

That confused me, though. When y' all talk about the Crowd. Cuz it's like how important is the crowd that's actually sitting there watching in the verses? Is that important?

[B]

It depends on the react.

[A]

It depends.

[C]

You know what I mean?

[A]

Cuz I feel like it's important with two artists that are LA based and

[B]

this particular show was very much like a show.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Like it wasn't like some of them. You could tell. It's just like crew like and the crowd. I don't really put too much stock in that cuz whoever brought more people, right, is cool. But this looked like an actual show, like a concert.

[A]

I didn't give Tyrese another point for the next eight or nine songs. I want to say the next point he got from me and he didn't get a bunch of them. He got shame, cuz. That's shame. I didn't care for Tank bringing out latoya Luckett. That part just wasn't for me. I also didn't care for Tank bringing out homeboy that helped write Pleasure Peas under. I absolutely love that song under on some R and B head shit. That's like one of those. Homeboy that wrote it, Homeboy that wrote it, that helped write it, came out to do his. He was on some Jesse Powell shit. It seemed like he was supposed to get a deal in 98. It didn't happen. He kept singing. And this is my chance to gyro. I'm saying that's what it looked like. That is what it looked like. I'm not trying to disrespect. I'm not trying to disrespect nobody.

[E]

Imani's hurt enough. He about to sit down.

[F]

It was like this his only opportunity. I'm a grand with you.

[C]

He missed his chance. Everybody. Here comes Imani.

[D]

It's like nobody comes to see you.

[H]

Otis, first off, let's give respect to Bobby Outside. That's one.

[C]

What's the name?

[H]

Bobby Outside. He's a of part of the Neutrons, a group that was signed to Joe Jackson back in the day.

[E]

His.

[H]

My problem.

[A]

Neutrons, electrons and protons. Hold up.

[E]

This is the problem with you.

[A]

A lot of up here like to

[H]

stand on their music. Some of y' all just hip hop. Y' all don't really know about R B and everything else. So let me talk about R and B. This is somebody in the industry that people respect. So that's one second.

[A]

Yes. He was bugged.

[H]

The out. He looked crazy up there doing what he was doing.

[A]

So cool.

[H]

But we're not going to talk about like he just ain't nobody.

[A]

No, that's what nobody knows.

[G]

He said get started now.

[C]

Exactly.

[D]

Cool.

[A]

Did he sound good?

[H]

No, he didn't sound good.

[E]

You could be that nigga behind the

[F]

scenes that's well respected.

[G]

But this is the moment.

[A]

But the masses don't know you.

[G]

But this is the moment where you get.

[A]

You give the masses the opportunity to

[E]

get to know you.

[C]

Man, this Lord 1 Sam is one show. And now it's like, wait a minute. My.

[A]

Wait, that's my brother. We scared the bacon, egg and cheese together.

[E]

Y' all do that. Y do. Y' all do that for. For one.

[H]

A hip hop with one single. Y' all go ahead and champion them. Let me champion R and B, who done put some down in the game. Let me. Let me hold R and B down. You don't know what y' all talking about.

[A]

Joe J. Okay, Are you done with this Johnny Neutron?

[E]

No, I'm not saying he was signed to Joe Jackson.

[C]

Flipper, you okay?

[D]

He's part of the.

[E]

Neutron, he's part of the New Tribe.

[G]

Oh, yeah, let me finish.

[A]

It's group.

[G]

I believe you.

[H]

I will agree with you that I do.

[G]

I do.

[H]

I do think that Tank mopped the floor at a certain point, but I really came up here to say I'm really disappointed with this whole verses. I think this whole was whack, period.

[F]

I'm not. I'm not.

[H]

I'm not gonna sit here and say that Tank ain't go up there and kill vocally. We expect that all the time from Tank. But for R and B to have a moment like this, to be spotlighted like this, for two of our vets to go up there and play around with it like it wasn't something that. Like, it was more of a comedy show than it was niggas actually going up there and showing what R and B is about, at least from the Tyrese side. Yeah, that's Tyrese 100% treated that shit even when you played the interview. I'm disappointed because, nigga, if there's any moment for R and B to show up. We always talk about how the young don't really go ahead and get on stage and do they thing. Tyrese, you should have came up there and show these young. Young while you are Tyrese totally disgusted with that.

[C]

I think.

[F]

I think he tried.

[H]

No, I don't think he tried. I think he took this.

[A]

Hold up.

[G]

You better not.

[H]

You better not play.

[A]

All right, let us. Let us get some action.

[H]

I ain't got much time.

[F]

Go ahead.

[C]

Can I say Something. Go ahead, Imani. I don't get what the you're saying, because all the man said was, was was that you could just tell that this guy, this is his only chance ever.

[A]

And then he stop. Stops my long take that I'm to come in with this Johnny Neutron.

[F]

What else you want to talk about?

[H]

I want to say what I'm going say and dip.

[C]

Right.

[A]

I ain't here to be a part

[G]

of y' all whole talking about the man.

[A]

Well, when do we get to the dip part? Thank you. Thank you very much, my brother. Yeah, than come back. No, no, no, no, no. That was a lot.

[B]

I mean, salute to Johnny Neutron, because

[A]

I'm not trying to disrespect the guy.

[B]

Of course not. He just didn't perform great.

[A]

Yeah, I'm just talking about how he performed in that moment. But I appreciate we get to the dip part. But I appreciate Tank sharing the stage with the writers and some of the lesser known performers.

[D]

Rumors.

[A]

His. His background singers absolutely killed band in general. His band absolutely killed. Tank's showmanship, his charisma, personality, all of that ability to just command a stage. Like there was. There was a one point where Tyrese changed his set list and was like, tank, go ahead. Like, I'm changing this. I'm not doing this song. You got four extra minutes. That happened a few times where Tank was unbothered. Okay. Now we going, hey, all keys, all strings. I'm gonna just sing an ad lib. And that started happening early on. Before Turtleneck. Before Turtleneck. You could see the church coming outta Tank and his whole crew to whereas on the spot. And he said it in the after interview. He said, once you got your foundation, it allows you to. To play. By the time Turtleneck came, I thought this whole battle was over.

[F]

Even in the beginning, you could tell that Tyrese was frustrated with the sound guy.

[B]

Though the sound was not great.

[F]

The sound was not good.

[A]

Yo, I watched on Apple. I. I didn't think the sound was good.

[F]

Was trash.

[A]

All the clips I see on Instagram seem like they have good audio. That was not my experience.

[F]

I watched it, okay? They must have fixed it, cuz I was traveling. I watched it today, last night. Were you dc?

[E]

I want to know too.

[A]

But you said ac. Dcc.

[E]

You go to the slum.

[G]

No, not Atlantic City Slum.

[A]

Yeah, got to.

[C]

Everybody take a. You. Everybody need to take heat to the whole thing. Energy is everything. Like the way your attitude is. And I. I kept thinking, he. Is he in a bad mood? But I didn't See that interview? He went in like he lost.

[A]

You can't.

[C]

His mindset wasn't there.

[B]

I just think he didn't seem like he wanted to.

[E]

Even.

[G]

Even.

[C]

It was probably mostly fear.

[G]

Even. Even the back. The insults was a little like, isn't that your man?

[A]

I expected all of the insults.

[G]

I didn't know that.

[A]

I expected it to be tense because you got to think right when TGT came out, which is a long time ago now. That's 2013. Somewhere around there when that comes out. Tank has not dropped what I think is his best project yet, which is Sex, Love, and Pain 2. That comes in 2016. Tyrese is coming off of Transformers, Fast and Furious, some other big franchise. So the. The in the group.

[F]

He the alpha in the group.

[A]

Well, that's where. That's. That's where the fight is. Yes, you are the star on some movie star shit. And you have the most money. You may not be the most talented, but you have the biggest, biggest hits. But you in the group with. And I felt for Tank. Cause I'm looking at Tyrese being nut on stage, and, you know, genuine is a nut on stage. Can you imagine being in a group with two fucking nuts, one drunk? Like I. I felt for Tank.

[D]

I felt for Tyrese, though. When Tank started talking about he can't sell hard tickets, I felt like his soul left the fire.

[A]

Oh, that's where I was getting to. So in 2014, movie star, you got this, you got the bigger hits. It's nothing for Tank to do but kind of. Of be humble. Not so much today. We done kind of forgot about Fast and Furious. That money is spent. Transformers is over. So when he said, yo, that movie, you can't tour, and you don't tour and you don't have hard tickets. Those. Those snaps wouldn't have worked in 2013. Today, boy, they hit hard. And you could tell that Tyrese is a bit insecure. His performance just came up off. He seemed more insecure than I have ever seen him before. And two, I don't know why these artists that do their verses, that do verses don't seem to be familiar with their catalog either. I don't know what the Tyrese was up there playing. And I'm a Tyrese fan. I got all the albums, Some of them shits. I'm like, yo, dog, if you gonna play. If you playing features, why you not doing Best man? Best man is a song that people know that it's respected. That's true. It takes you on a ride, takes you to the Movie do best man, man, why are we not doing Signs of Love Making?

[C]

That's.

[A]

I had that as a guaranteed point. Damn near for Tyrese. Whenever it came on and he skipped it.

[D]

He waited too long to perform it.

[E]

He didn't perform it.

[D]

I thought I heard it.

[A]

You did not hear Signs of Love Making.

[G]

He said the zodiac signs.

[E]

I thought.

[A]

No, he performed it.

[F]

He didn't.

[A]

I didn't hear it.

[C]

He. He.

[J]

He.

[A]

I didn't hear it.

[F]

He didn't run it. I think he went into another song or something.

[C]

Like, he played cuz.

[F]

He said, yo, what's your sign of a Capricorn? He did.

[A]

He did.

[G]

Yeah, he performed it.

[H]

My bad.

[C]

I offer him my mic too. He wants.

[H]

I want take his shit.

[A]

No, he want to take mine. I told him to do. Yeah, out of.

[C]

Look at his neck.

[E]

Can I just also make clear breath?

[A]

Smelling man good. I can tell you be tongue.

[G]

I said the same thing.

[A]

Yeah, why you smelling? You do the kiss with a happy.

[G]

All right, you got the whitter n.

[E]

So I want to point out

[G]

Tank.

[H]

Tank has a band and background singers that often perform with them, so their shit is always. You can hear it complete clicking. Gavin, Candice Boyd, Lonnie Burrell have always been with him, so they're gonna always be on point at the point where you don't even need the sound guy to go play something. And Tank was very clear on. I was here all day rehearsing. Tyrese came, rehearsed, did not do shit. Left came back, so you can tell he wasn't really prepped. And Kenya Dixon saluted him, but he's not his go to background singer. And Ashley from June's Diaries, she's not his go to background nigga.

[A]

Tyrese look like he was hating on Kenyon Dixon, but no Kenyon Dixon.

[H]

And let me just say that too. Kenyon, that was some whack shit. You fire you that nigga. But you can't sing background for Tank.

[A]

Yes, he can.

[H]

No, you can't.

[A]

Yes, he can.

[H]

If you are there hired to sing backgrounds for Tyrese, and Tyrese is the person who's competing against him. You can't decide to now start singing background for tuning Tank and help him on his set. That's. That's what?

[A]

Well, you can't. All right. Excuse me.

[G]

Dip dip again.

[A]

All right. You're. You're right on some performer. You're right. That shouldn't happen on some fan watching. That was the flyest in the world that Tank walked over to the other side, got his singer involved Kenya Dixon and his band. Cuz it wasn't just a singer. Band get involved. And now this whole stage. That's fire. Your dog. That is fire. Sorry.

[F]

Tell you something. If it wasn't. If it wasn't contentious, that's fire. You could tell anybody watching that there was a little bit of tension and friction. The second you would have for the next, I wouldn't have paid them.

[A]

Tyrese is funny as I don't know what math Tyrese be doing, but we got to get rid of the the yo. You performing in. In hotel lobbies as an insult as

[F]

no, you could tell.

[A]

And Tank flipped it on some. No, I perform wherever the fans are. Right. He answered that perfectly. First of all, Tank is always on the road. He's on the road. Anything Amani just said is true. He just came off the road. We just seen him in CC Karaos and all that. So he's on the road. 1, 2. They not small places. They 3003, 500AMPU theaters that city to city. He's selling out. I don't know why Tyrese 2 and

[F]

3 nights in the same city.

[A]

See, Tyrese is unaware. He tried to clown that shirt that Tank was wearing. It's the chrome heart that look. My mom hit me and said this shirt is too big. I said by the end of this, he won't have a shirt on. But he didn't have to take his shirt off. He didn't break a sweat. This is why I knew Tyrese was losing when he kept saying. What the fuck did he keep saying up there?

[G]

Oh,

[A]

yeah. I don't normally perform this one. This is one of these joints that my fans been asking me to perform. Oh, so you either that or you are clear that you getting a foot up your ass and now we just getting every disclaimer in the world.

[D]

This black top bag ain't gonna work, bruh.

[F]

Listen, the thing that you just played, I didn't hear that. But when you start talking about money, that shit, it don't work. Like, yo, dawg. Oh, it's gonna take me 10 shows to get where he getting 30.

[B]

What you doing right now, nutter?

[F]

That don't matter my get up here, perform your. It could be Joe Schmo. I don't give a how much money you got. Get up here and let us see it. Like that is Tyrese didn't play.

[A]

Tyrese didn't play.

[C]

Lately Tyrese is depressed.

[D]

No.

[E]

When's the last time Tyrese had to

[H]

do a 40 minute set?

[F]

That don't matter. You know why? Because if you got to do a 40 minute set, I'mma take the best songs that I'm known for and put them in that 40 minute set. I'm not going to to play some B side. That unresponsive crowd. The crowd already wasn't really into the my bad. So I'mma play the that the crowd at least knows I'm not going to not play my smacks.

[A]

Nah. Changing clothes. No. This was hilarious. Just freestyling about a dude changing clothes. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. By this point I was saying if they keep singing this, then it's going to be bad fam on Tik Tok and socials. And. And they kept singing it. Then they start harmonizing this. And he up there looking hot in the turtleneck.

[C]

Beautiful.

[F]

The look nice.

[A]

No, he also looked hot.

[E]

Like warm.

[A]

He look attractive. Look. And now he got Tyrese whispering turtleneck with you lost dog.

[E]

Cuz he had to play long. So he don't look mad.

[C]

Right.

[E]

That's all you can do when you getting up.

[C]

You gotta pack like you enjoy. That's what Tyrese is doing.

[F]

I think they.

[C]

I feel bad for.

[F]

Yeah. I think Tyrese went to this. I would have been on some brotherhood as opposed to some insult. And I would have just got up there and performed with my brother. I wouldn't have got up there thinking I was him.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

And tried to really compete with that. Like.

[A]

And be clear, as a Tank fan, I think there's a lot of songs Tank left. Left off the Tank. They did. Yeah. There's a lot that Tank didn't get get to. I don't know if there were time restraints or what, but Tank had another bag to get into.

[C]

I think that you were right when you said last week about internal group beef. And I think that even though it looked like that, who knows if that means that it'll be a longer time before they go on tour together because that caused a problem that's going to cause a problem that he did that too.

[G]

That Aaliyah moment was that little tense

[F]

get your ass whipped.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

They get you.

[C]

And that's if the turtleneck don't take off. And people in his comments for the next month. What's up, turtleneck? Good morning.

[F]

Turtleneck or no. Will start getting on Tik Tok dancing turtleneck sliding across the floor. He not going to be.

[D]

It's going be hard to rock a turtleneck.

[E]

It's going to be a long time. Maybe never.

[G]

And when Trey came on Stage.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

That was awkward.

[C]

Who came on stage? Trey.

[D]

Ty seemed like he was more concerned about his wardrobe. Wardrobe changes, his sports coats.

[A]

Well, let's slow down. Slow down. Beat up. We shouldn't speed over this one. I'm just trying to give it silence because I don't really know how to tackle it.

[E]

He's new.

[A]

He looked a mess, dog. Trey Songz. He looked like. He looked like. He looked like when you got a. He did. He said, yo. Came out on the last minute, had to find something.

[F]

Said he just got off a flight or some shit.

[A]

Got off a flight, and this is all I found. All you found was the royal blue Paco sweatsuit. Paco, what the are you talking about? This is all I found. Do you know where you going? You are coming to the Apple building, dog. Do you know where the you ain't at? He was dressed for Roscoe, dog.

[F]

You gotta fly.

[B]

You could have got a little black button.

[F]

You gotta at least come in your flight sweatsuit.

[D]

That would.

[A]

My airplane sweatsuit is flying. And that sweatsuit went on, you know?

[D]

Nah, your airport said he was late.

[C]

I don't fuck around with airport.

[F]

Nah, your airport sweatsuit gotta be better.

[A]

He could have came in with a

[F]

dope ass sweatsuit and sneakers on and then got it off, and we wouldn't

[A]

have paid the sweatsuit no mind if you fucking sung the song and sounded like the song, which he did not. And I'm also not a fan of Tank doing When we tweeted twice. I think there were other songs for him to put in the beginning. If you had the when we remix coming with Trey songs. But Trey didn't. Trey didn't. It wasn't. It wasn't. Nah, it wasn't that. But I love that he came out because Trey songs is crazy and so is Tyrese. See, Tank is up there with logic and good sense and a professional. So when Tyrese came to the stage and was like, yo, cut that shit off. It could have got. It could have. It had that jeezy Gucci mane feeling.

[B]

It did.

[A]

It did. Cause Trey looked like he was trying to be professional in the matter, but you just walked to center stage, told him to cut my music as I was about to make up for the bad vocals that I just did. Or make up for all of it. Right. Yeah. I don't know what's going on with that.

[D]

I think that was his first appearance post getting arrested in New York, like, publicly.

[B]

That may be true.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

No.

[F]

No, it's not. He just did a show in Virginia. Oh, he did okay last week.

[A]

We don't know about Virginia.

[C]

Show that big ass sweatsuit.

[A]

It's just a shame, cuz. Trey Song's catalog. I'll save it for another day. But his catalog. If he could sing it, he got slapped. Oh my God. All the slaps in the world. Anyway, Lonnie. Lonnie Burrell doing the. The end of maybe I deserve whit Tank Chef's kiss. That was great. Jamie Foxx was great. Until we got to making the crowd say Jamie Fox for the next 20 minutes.

[F]

I could do that. Annoyed me the pre.

[A]

The.

[F]

The church for the last eight minutes of the Jamie Foxx like yo, my leave you. You killed it. Leave the whole church ensemble. You can got that.

[A]

Yeah. He seemed like the Once you invite him over to the kickback and he get a good joke in front of the. He ain't going to stop this Jimmy Fox show. It's over. You're right. That is exactly what it get. Thank God the white joints don't be in my kickback.

[C]

Don't y' all hate that?

[A]

All right. That a good one? I thought it was pretty good. What else, what else, what else, what else, what else, Tank? I mean, Tyrese lost cuz he was the first one to play a song featuring his opponent. Yeah, like he lost for mad reasons.

[B]

Reasons he didn't want to be there.

[C]

I don't think he did not want to be there.

[F]

I don't even think he sung that well.

[B]

He was okay.

[A]

Sing his bad.

[F]

He was okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

At best. Maybe up to it sound like he was screaming.

[E]

He was flat.

[F]

He sound like he was screaming at. And again, I think the sound dude kind of ticked him off from the rip and he never really recovered.

[C]

Do y' all think he practiced at all? No, I don't think he practiced at all.

[H]

One more thing and I think and he's back. The biggest reason for that is he doesn't tour. He doesn't perform as often as Tank. So you're never gonna sound as good as Tank. You also aren't really familiar with probably that band, are you?

[C]

This nigga agent.

[H]

I'm just tell.

[E]

I'm just tell.

[H]

Listen, I'm just telling you

[A]

he wanted to be tg.

[C]

Tgte.

[A]

Yeah. You want to take Genuine Yesterday?

[H]

Do me a favor. When I'm talking R and B, just mute up.

[A]

Comedian.

[H]

Everybody mute up. I don't talk Eddie Murphy with you.

[G]

Let me get my shit off.

[H]

I think Tyrese really is fire. He has all the records in the world. He could have done way better with this.

[G]

I agree.

[H]

It just goes to show a nigga was not ready for this type of platform. Tank and Joe would have been better if we could have had a matchup that would have been a better matchup because those two people would have went up there and really been on some straight female vocalists.

[A]

Yeah, Joe would have matched the energy.

[H]

Joe would have matched the energy for that type of crowd. So Tank started to get into his comedian bag once he see Tyrese wanted to lean into that. Tyrese, big disappointment for R and B. I really came just to say that.

[G]

You still talking while I'm talking?

[E]

R and B a little.

[C]

His neck burn. He get the stretch appointment, and you got his all twisted. He's old.

[H]

He said my breath smell good.

[C]

Right? But his neck.

[A]

Is that a mean? I want. Wanted you to just.

[E]

Uhoh, uhoh. Getting a stretcher for me right now.

[B]

It's getting romantic.

[A]

They can't even get no, his bro do smell good.

[E]

Amani is actually disgr that he can't talk on this show. He's not on.

[A]

Listen,

[C]

it don't have to be a certain topic.

[E]

You want my seat, bro? I really don't.

[A]

So then at the end, see, it appears. It appears that Tyrese leaves. Well, they announced that.

[F]

Say y' all one. I won already. I'm out.

[A]

Oh, ain't nobody believed that. Yeah, ain't nobody believed he didn't believe that. Nobody believed that. And he did it after, like, three songs. Yo, I'm out. My valet is outside. No, no, you're not. No, you're not. So we thought he left at the end. Tank is out there announcing that Tyrese left, which he didn't. He came back to say he went to do interviews, but his lady was left out there.

[B]

That was funny.

[A]

So now Tank's background singers get the girl on the couch.

[B]

They was killing that shit.

[F]

It's a bad showing when the background

[B]

singers is getting on you. That's crazy.

[F]

It's just bad all around the boyfriend.

[A]

I mean, I enjoy. By the time the verses ended, it was almost Fuck. It was 11:15 for me. I had a great, great night.

[B]

I did too.

[A]

I was in bed, watched the. No, it wasn't the COVID vibes, but I was pleased.

[E]

It was entertaining. Let me ask you a question. Is this when I think about dipset locks? That was a molly waping.

[A]

Epic, legendary molly wapping. That was the greatest one.

[E]

That was the greatest one, Right? So take that off the table. Where does this rank among ass whoopings and Verses that you all know.

[D]

This is one of the most.

[A]

The verses, in my opinion, you do it just.

[E]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah. It's not at the top of the Molly Wap versus list. There's been too many. Neo got Molly wad, T Pain got Molly whopped.

[B]

He shouldn't have got Molly wopped like that.

[A]

Yeah, no. These dudes with these can logs. Yeah, T Pain. But that's Lil Jon.

[B]

Yeah.

[F]

Yeah, True.

[D]

Yeah. The greatest. Like, the greatest takeaway is the turtleneck remix.

[B]

You know, like, that was probably the highlight.

[D]

That's the highlight of the show.

[E]

That's a fact.

[A]

And I'm sitting there waiting till the end of the battle. Cause Tank sent me a song that he said he was dropping right after the verses. And guess what song didn't come out. Whatever the song he was talking about,

[B]

there was so much music that did not come out last night. It was disappointing. It was a disappointing.

[D]

Let's talk about that.

[A]

Sheesh.

[F]

That Apple got to be some union venue and them was playing with the time, too. And that's Apple.

[A]

Yeah, that was that.

[B]

This is scheduled.

[F]

Yeah, like, this is scheduled, dog.

[A]

Like, I'm calling. I'm calling Tank.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

I don't expect him to answer. Of course he answers.

[F]

He know you calling.

[A]

Well, it's early in LA right now. He should have had a long night. Yeah, he probably had. He should have been in Hollywood hookah or something like that.

[B]

I'm sure he was.

[A]

Hello.

[I]

Brother Joe.

[A]

Brother T, my man. Hey. Hey. And that's it. And that's it. Goddamn. Listen, Belt. Belt went to ass. But that's not what I was calling about. I was calling because you told me that a song was dropping after the verses, and I was waiting for it. Ggt.

[I]

Are we.

[A]

Are we live? Yes.

[I]

Okay, then I can't say too much, but let's just say things didn't go in my favor and. And it was a shock, a surprise to me. Very disheartening, very disappointing. But that's how life is sometime in this business. You know, people will let you down. And you have to live with the results of that.

[A]

Oh, man, I see how this.

[G]

Look, you mix that.

[F]

You mix that voice and sentiment with some muscles.

[I]

So what you have. What you have in your possession, just. Just. That's just for you.

[A]

God damn. It's fire, though. It is absolutely fire. Okay, so I listen, how do you feel? Belt went to ass.

[I]

You know what? You know, we had fun in that regard. You know what I mean? Because, I mean, I knew we were gonna have jokes and all the cool stuff, and I was definitely gonna find a good moment. Good meme, good viral moment, you know? But for me, that whole opportunity was not necessarily me versus Tyrese, but an opportunity for me to show the world who I am and what I do.

[A]

Yeah, but you showed Tyrese too. Enough of that world shit. I know that you gotta be a professional at all times, but.

[I]

No, I'm giving you the real. He knows what I can do 100%. Cause I do it for him.

[A]

So he knows. Know what I mean?

[I]

He know what. You know, what the smoke is. But, you know, as a. As a true Capricorn, and he's a fighter himself.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[I]

He's a man that don't, like.

[E]

Don't want to lose.

[I]

Got his pride, and he goes. Just like me, you know? He go. He go. He gonna handle it a certain way, as he should. He's a man.

[A]

But.

[I]

But what I do is just different. Was it a fair matchup? No, not. No, not at all. But, you know, because I could have. I could have just stuck to my record, Joe.

[A]

I got those things that are number one. Listen, I went on air and said that you left a lot out of your bag. I left a lot out.

[I]

But it was making sure that all, you know, however many millions of those people were watching, the old Tank isn't just an artist. He's not. He. He and Tyrese are not the same. No, this guy does this and he does that.

[A]

He does this.

[I]

Well, that.

[A]

Well.

[I]

Yeah. So that was putting all my talents on the side play.

[A]

Was it a conscious effort from you to not get into some of your older records? Like, I thought you're a star would have went crazy. I thought Celebrate would have went crazy. I thought emergency. Yeah, all of that. All of that.

[I]

I thought all of that would have went crazy. But when you. When you look at the songs that I did that were the songs that I wrote and produced, those people were supposed to.

[A]

To be there one minute.

[I]

Yeah, that's what we have been rehearsing. And so, you know, once you've been rehearsing that, the band locked in, you got the files rocked, and then people start falling out one by one, two and three days before. You know, I'm not gonna go back in and just say, okay, bad. Let's revamp. Let's try to perfect this all over.

[G]

Now.

[A]

We.

[I]

We land where we landed, and we just. And I just.

[A]

I just rock with it. All of my pod mates told me I should have flew out there and did she don't put it down with you.

[I]

I told you that.

[A]

I know. I. I know. They all call me a ass. Yeah. They call me whack. It's fine. It's fine.

[I]

Listen, and I can't bring out.

[A]

But honestly, kidding me? Honestly, we know how to pack Chingy up. Ching A L. You got a little resentment for Chingy? Yeah, yeah, I got. I owe Chingy anyway from him clearing me out with that right there. But listen, our resident singer, Aman, says that he had a problem with you taking Kenyon Dixon, his background singer, and getting him involved over there.

[H]

That was.

[A]

I thought that was fly.

[H]

No, it is fly, but it's still up.

[I]

No, here's how it. Here's how it all started. I was like, we need. We should use background singers. He's like, yeah, let's share background singers. I was like, okay, cool. I'll put a dope crew together, and we'll go from there. And he was like, well, you know, I need Kenyan Dixon because he's my guy and he's very familiar with me. And I said, you know what? You need to be comfortable. Let me. Let me grab Kenya, because that's my man, too. Kenyan, I need you in here. So Tyrese can be comfortable, but you're doing backgrounds for both of us. He's like, all right, cool. Then Tyrese hit me again. Was like, yeah, I also need my girl Isa, who will also things with me so I can be more comfortable. You know what, Tyrese? So you can be more comfortable, let's hire her, too. It all became. Let's make Tyrese comfortable for verses. So all the background singers you saw have never sang backgrounds for me before.

[E]

Your Kenyan is a. Is a solo artist. You know what I'm saying? Like, he's a real solo artist on the road, touring, all of these things, and there was no way I was gonna have Kenyan singing with me and not sing Lee and not get a standout moment. You know what I'm saying? Like, when you sing with Tyrese, you gotta let Tyrese do all the lead singing. When you sing with Tank, you get.

[E]

You get to sing Lee.

[A]

Okay, that's nice. They gotta be nice.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

That's nice. Well, listen, man, you did exactly what me and everybody up here thought thought you would do. Belt. Belt to absolute ass. But, I mean, R and B wins at the end of the day.

[B]

Some of these R dudes, like, listen, I feel y'.

[G]

That's about.

[A]

He can't trick me. Anyway, congratulations to Tank. I don't care. Flip. Yeah, no. Rappers don't do no like that.

Yeah, it's hit and miss a little bit, but the hits, I. I, I like a lot hits.

[C]

Hit.

[B]

Yeah, the hits hit. Him and Manny work good. The Lenny Kravitz record they talked about up here.

[E]

[B]

I really enjoyed that.

[D]

Birdman makes a couple appearances too.

[B]

Popped up a couple times.

[C]

I could have did without him.

[D]

I know you guys aren't big on the UK rap, but my man Central C put out a new ep.

[A]

Okay. I with him.

[E]

Okay.

[D]

Okay. Yeah, the EP is strong.

[B]

Jesse Reyes dropped the EP as well. Speaking of ep. And I'm a big Jesse Reyes fan. It sounded good. Good. Still paid Elmine or Elm I cannot pronounce.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I'm sorry. I butchered every time he dropped a tape. Sounds for someone with no ID. Sounds like he executive produced it. He's credited on nine of the 12 records. It sounded good.

[D]

You know he's a virgin.

[B]

Excuse me?

[D]

He's a virgin.

[B]

No ID or no Ellen?

[A]

That guy. I'm about to say. If no ID is saying that, I can promise you it's not.

[B]

He's saving himself for marriage.

[A]

You don't be the one to step on. Nobody lies who's a virgin. AC Green still ain't got no pussy, is it, Ella?

[E]

Ellie.

[D]

I don't know how to pronounce his name. I'm butchering it. But him, he revealed that in an interview, I was like, oh, okay.

[A]

Growing up, it was only AC Green that was a virgin. And Malik Rose. Wink, wink.

[E]

Malik, I think he's a Muslim.

[C]

He's waiting on marriage.

[A]

Oh, you thinking like I'm thinking? I've been on that 1 since 99.

[F]

Malik Rose will fuck you up.

[A]

Well, Malik Rose, we used to see in the club sometimes. He was a cool dude, but that don't change what I think.

[E]

I think he's a cool dude. Growing up in Philly and knowing him,

[A]

okay, I definitely think for sure that

[E]

he's a cool dude.

[A]

Thousand percent the coolest. Yeah. What do you think about him, huh?

[E]

I think he's cool.

[G]

On the other side.

[E]

I don't know what Joe get. I just.

[A]

What do you think, Joe Walk in closet.

[G]

Oh, okay.

[A]

The biggest one. Really, though?

[C]

Yeah, he does.

[G]

That's why I ain't with double doors.

[E]

Why?

[A]

With vanities in there?

[E]

I don't think that's true. Couches in there, as a matter of fact. Matter of fact, no. I feel like a girl used to date. He. He shot at one time. I know, I know. I know he did.

[C]

But that doesn't mean anything, though.

[A]

That don't mean nothing to me.

[C]

Whenever people say stuff like we got say allegedly, too.

[E]

You can't just.

[C]

Whenever people say stuff like Joe said, whatever you say after, it doesn't matter. Matter, because we do. The kids. It doesn't. We all know now that none of that matters.

[A]

That's right. Allegedly, y'.

[G]

All.

[A]

Allegedly. But anyway, listen, are y' all done with all the hip hop? Because I got R B to get to.

[B]

We did it.

[D]

I think that's about it.

[B]

The Lock Stop single never change.

[D]

[A]

One day in life, I want to be taken off of the. A speech needs to be given before this person comes in. I want to be taken off that list. I Think that's so corny.

[C]

Yo, you gotta give a speech before you bring Joey.

[A]

Cause why are you doing that?

[F]

Cause you could say some inappropriate.

[C]

And you don't like humans.

[G]

Now, he been. He been nice to anybody that I brought. He be nice to be nice. I brought mad people up here and they love him. They say, yo, the guy that I watch on the Internet and him took completely different people. Everybody came with a different.

[F]

You bought mad people over here?

[G]

Yeah, I did. When I had improper improv. Oh, you forgot. Yeah, I forgot.

[A]

Thank you.

[G]

They all love them, though.

[E]

Yeah, I definitely get a speech, though. My wife coming up here later. I was like, yeah, you know, just

[G]

remember, you know,

[E]

have to give me

[A]

a wife a speech.

[E]

No, not from. Like, about Flip. How the show. Watch the Patreon. She hears some shit, know you say, yo Flip on say that kind of speech. Not the.

[G]

You know, he did.

[A]

And I didn't assume that I was the only one. The speech was about, like. I thought it was a few people.

[E]

Oh, yeah. For me, it's. It's just.

[A]

Yeah, blame me.

[G]

Marks up lying with you.

[A]

It's just me, right?

[G]

It's about flesh, yo. That N Flip, I don't get it.

[E]

But my wife likes you.

[G]

I love it.

[C]

She's people like Flip. If I was coming to just meet you, I wouldn't give a speech. But y' all together. I have to.

[E]

That's what I'm saying.

[D]

Is there a rule about bringing people here?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Okay, everybody.

[C]

Nobody can do it but me is the rule. Basically.

[A]

She comes from very far, so she brings somebody different every week. It'll be a new Keith next week. Once Mona finished, she toss him back anyway. Brings somebody different. Who else? Flip used to do that. We put a caboosh on that one.

[G]

We didn't put a KAB watch.

[A]

Put a Kabush on that one. Too much coming on.

[E]

Don't say Kabash.

[G]

Watch it. Why? Why you stop my flow?

[A]

This was, this was. And that's why and that's why that's why.

[E]

Yo, one day it was crazy up here.

[G]

It was like the tunnel of.

[A]

That's one.

[C]

He bought a marachi, man, one time,

[E]

like, five of them plus five. I had to go downstairs and pray.

[G]

No, no.

[A]

But my beat out these started bringing, like, Amani bought a crew of chicks out here for my birthday. Stuffed them in the back room when they came, dog. You know how much I almost got? No, no, enough now.

[G]

You know what it is, cuz?

[A]

Don't fly somebody up.

[G]

That's what it Is we bring, we bring. So here's the thing.

[A]

That's where your homie will get you in trouble, right?

[G]

We bring people up here and then he just. Extremely so when he's nice, we talk about it. And when you talk about it publicly, your partners may see it, right? So when I'm just hyped that my friends just appreciate being around them, but I'm not realizing that. Well, I realized, but I don't take it into consideration in that moment. Like, yo, my nigga, you ill nigga good looking, you made them feel good. Not realizing the OG is watching from behind n from the shadows. Who Flip brought up there. What you doing? So.

[A]

So yeah, the rule is don't, don't bring anybody up here. I'm bringing more people in unless it's your wife or your kid and even Mark kid got that rule about to change. Oh my God, I want him daddy daycare this motherf.

[C]

Listen, I love him and you know that Mark always oh, he spin and she a that bad as a diablo.

[A]

I'm wait, I want to be around when Mark pop him for the first time. He don't believe in hitting kids.

[C]

But when he was play wrestling with him, he choked that out a little bit like this. I just, I just, I seen it.

[E]

I just, I just detained him a little bit.

[C]

And listen, you know, normally you be leaving alone.

[F]

I him up him up little arm bar.

[E]

I signed him up. I signed him up for karate this week. So I think we gonna. Some of his energy is gonna go somewhere else. I signed him up.

[C]

Oh, please.

[B]

He's just gonna whoop your ass.

[C]

You're hopeful just like that Hilly. That nigga bad. And let me tell you something. That's how you fix it in the black community. Y' all notice at home when it's that little light skinned boy with that little blonde ginger type of tint.

[A]

Them niggas be the worst niggas.

[G]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[E]

I'm telling you, my son ain't got no blonde ginger tent.

[C]

That's what I seen.

[A]

He got ginger. He got little readers that bad.

[C]

He bad. He smart, he bilingual.

[G]

He is smart.

[A]

I want to be around my hoodie. I want to be around.

[E]

He did read your hoodie.

[A]

Yeah, I love that sometimes you be hanging out with like the kids. Like I'm going to my Aunt Catherine's 90th birthday party. Oh, shouldn't have said that.

[E]

No shout out to her.

[A]

Oh, man. Anyway. Huh? No, no, it's fine. It's just my family be there sometimes you be around Kids and you see them being bad and you don't say nothing cuz they ain't your kid. And then they parent come out and

[E]

Billy, I tell you bow.

[A]

And you still be sitting there, hit a kid crying in front of you. The parent walk away kid. Me and you, you be sitting like

[E]

serious, you think people should hit other people's kids?

[A]

I was raised that way.

[D]

My dad used to beat strangers.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Explains a lot.

[C]

No, and you know what? I agree and I think let me tell you why. Because back in the day, day you did some wild in your neighborhood. And on your way home, you got up the lady at the store, this lady on the block. And that's what was lost when I was growing up. If the parent went to the parent, they would fist fight each other. Like you wouldn't do it. It just changed. It changed from you bring him home saying I whooped his ass, this what he did and he got another ass whooping too. Why the you talk to my son like that? And then now the two parents is fighting this. Listen, we are in a dangerous time, but I think that part of community is lost that we don't take care of each other kids. It's not about him.

[E]

That's what I'm saying. Taking care of each other's kids is cool. I mean, I grew up when I was 5 years old walking the store. If I did some dumb, somebody will walk me, they will walk me back to the crib, tell my parent, they weren't just me up on Oyo Road, they wasn't just like whooping my ass. Like that ain't how we did.

[C]

Now generation before that, that's what happened.

[F]

And it depend on the neighborhood.

[A]

And you was a good kid back in the day. It was a village. It was a real good kid. Yeah, it was, it was a village

[F]

before, like if Sharon whipped your ass, your mother knew Sharon, Sharon was whipping your ass. With good reason, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Because your mother trusted Sharon. Nowadays your mother don't know Sharon.

[A]

Yeah. Your mother would appoint one neighbor, one person that could whip your ass.

[C]

It's a thing, it's a time thing. I'm talking about people that grew up in the 60s, the 50s. Yeah, 70s, a little different, 80s, a little different. But me growing up in the 90s, I watched parents fight each other. That's all that happened. It would be a huge fight because something happened with the kids. We playing double Dutch and now everybody fighting crack.

[G]

I went to a school that, I

[C]

mean destroy the neighborhood.

[G]

I went to a school that whoop my Ass like my mother signed me up for that. That's how I got school.

[C]

Was it like alternative?

[G]

No, it was yeah, it was like a camp.

[A]

Wasn't a school.

[G]

It wasn't. It was a visit school. It's called Christian in Brooklyn they wh

[C]

my ass and they used rulers, right?

[A]

Yeah, the teachers used to beat me. But you didn't change chicky nugget. It didn't.

[G]

I thought you lost your seat.

[E]

You chocolate milk? Yeah, Chicken nugget.

[G]

Look at that out of here.

[A]

My mom neighbor across the street in Queens when my mom would go to work and I would break every single rule that was laid out. I'm talking about punishment being out at a certain time nigga, I was climbing in and out of windows, breaking in Ms. Tina going right don't you know the Mr. Alfred across the street in 826 had a camera set up damn.

[E]

In 86 was he on the BCR

[A]

the little monitor and his best and he used to show my mom

[E]

to

[C]

get money or he was selling something on the weekend.

[A]

He was an older dude, he used to show my mom the tapes and it used to be me acting a fool as I said Wait, what you that freak?

[B]

Yeah, he might buy some any dude

[E]

in the 80s that had a video camera set up n He was the

[A]

dude on some George Zimmerman neighborhood watch type patrol the whole block he was watching but he was a black dude. He was a black dude.

[C]

He was watching. When you said your mom signed you up for the school to get beat I asked alternative school because when I got kicked out of school and got put in alternative school you had to sign off that they could hit you and my mother struggled with that. That was like a thing Cuz I we ain't believe in beatings either. I believe never had a beating.

[G]

Oh for real?

[C]

Not one.

[D]

See that's why Mona the teacher used to beat my.

[C]

Was it effective Flip honestly?

[G]

Yeah, it was, it was. I mean I gave a lot of. I mean I guess it depends on how you think how you look at it, right?

[A]

You don't hit your kids.

[E]

Give me a kick.

[G]

Give me what?

[A]

You don't hit your kids, right?

[G]

I whoop my kids ass before. Yeah. Now I don't hit them but I beat them before.

[A]

Got it.

[E]

I think that sons and daughters, yes,

[G]

my daughter, I'm a little easy on I. I was a little easier on and that's where but my sons. I fucked him up at one point, you know what I mean? Now I can't jr's been old school

[C]

belts Are just

[E]

both.

[A]

Both.

[E]

I just want to say, I don't think we should hit kids. I don't think we should beat.

[A]

You should let somebody hit your kids.

[F]

Yo, let me tell you something.

[E]

I just want to say this because I would feel unethical not saying it on a public platform.

[A]

Come on.

[E]

I disagree with that. I disagree. Disagree with that position. I think it's, I think it's wrong to, to, to, to be kids.

[G]

I think that some people.

[E]

Y' all tell your opinions, but I just want to say. I just want to make sure.

[F]

I think people parent their kids the

[G]

way they feel corporal punishment is, is still.

[E]

I don't, I don't know. It's necessary.

[F]

I can say this ass whoopings worked.

[A]

Yeah, I agree.

[G]

Not sure.

[F]

I got my ass whooped and it worked.

[C]

So you whoop ass.

[A]

You still pretty stubborn, though.

[G]

Stop doing that. Stopping flow.

[F]

Yo, dog, I, I, I, I think that people parent the way they want to parent. I think whatever you feel comfortable with and how you discipline your kids, within reason. You know what I'm saying? I ain't saying electrocute your kids and no like that. No extension cords and none of that wild. That's abuse. But discipline and abuse are not the same.

[C]

Electrocution don't leave a bruise, though. You finish that plate.

[G]

Listen to me.

[D]

That's crazy. I told my daughter I used to get a switch. He said, said what? Like a Nintendo? I was like, no.

[E]

And do you, do you beat her with switches?

[D]

No, I don't have to. She's been a good kid.

[G]

Hey, yo.

[E]

But if she's not, you'll beat her with a snitch.

[D]

No, she's, she doesn't do any. All I gotta do is raise my voice. And she really.

[C]

Most dads say that.

[A]

Yeah, Mark, we beating on our kid. And I'm just saying that for entertainment because I don't, I don't hit my kids and don't believe it.

[G]

I think, I think our mind is the way our mind is wired, right? Because if you look at it, when I went to the school and they beat me, it was more like, yo, they showing me the necessary.

[A]

They care.

[G]

That may be a fucked up way of thinking, but these people, they could have let me be outside running the streets. I was going to see. I was throwing rocks off the roof onto ongoing traffic. And I was doing a lot of shit that was bad. And these people took their time and they're like, you can't do that. And they took their time. So I think that sometimes our minds Be wired, fucked up. But I feel like the discipline in calling a Christian school work, it helped me just to get an understanding of every action has a reaction.

[A]

Cause I was giving my mom.

[E]

Did you continue to run the streets and break laws afterwards?

[C]

That's what I asked him. Do you think it was effective?

[G]

Yes. Okay, I did do that.

[A]

But.

[G]

But there was always that. I did that because I just wanted to do it. I wanted to try it, but there was always that. That ear or that voice in my head that told me, this is wrong, you know, better. And I was able to get out and maneuver before it got too late.

[E]

Yeah. And I don't think you can judge it based on whether. Cause people. Kids do bad shit no matter how you discipline them. All I'm saying is that I think a lot of times we end up saying, well, it worked for me because I turned out okay. But we don't know how you would have. How it worked out. The opposite happened. So the question I always ask people

[G]

is, but what do you base that off? Because somebody can tell you that me being disciplined worked out for me because I was the person that was disciplined.

[F]

I feared it.

[E]

Because somebody can tell you, miss, what I just said. I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm saying that we don't know what the opposite would have been had you not been. Been dis. So I'm saying. So it's hard to. I'm not saying your position is wrong. I could say I didn't get beat. I mean, I did get beat. But let's say I didn't get beat. I could say I didn't get beat. And I. I turned out. And I turned out great.

[D]

So.

[E]

So, like, Mona turned out. You and Mona in the same place in the same show.

[A]

Alternative.

[C]

I was up. I was up.

[A]

But this alternative.

[C]

Well, I'm saying.

[E]

I'm saying y' all physically in the same room, y' all have achieved the same levels. And one of y' all got beat, one of y' all didn't. So one. You know, and either of you can say, y' all.

[A]

Both.

[E]

I didn't get beaten. It worked for me. I did beaten work for you, but I'm sorry, I just wanted to finish one thought. When you've been beaten or beaten your kid, do you. Was that literally the only option left on the table, or do we believe that there is another thing we could do to get the same outcome?

[G]

I mean, you do what you know.

[A]

So.

[G]

I mean, now that you get surrounded by people and obviously you look at things A little bit different. But sometimes you do what you know and when you try to speak to them or speak to children, especially in today's society, them don't give a.

[A]

That's. That's. That's the part that I wanted. That I want.

[H]

Hold on.

[A]

Let me say this because I. I don't want to jump out there and totally agree with what is you're saying. So I won't. What I will say your earlier point you made about the beating. But what I will say is I'm with you. I don't be my kids and won't be my kids ever. And I see how he treats beats me because of it. Like he in there just trying wild that I would never travel. Hey, Lexington, finish your food. I throw this food all in your face like he's. It's crazy. I love this. It's crazy when you don't beat him. How they turn out is all I'm saying. I went to Target. I bought a Jimmy Neutron gun. Try to be a good guy.

[E]

Shout out to the neutrons.

[A]

Yeah, he asked me for a Jimmy Neutron gun gun. No Fortnite gun. A Fortnite gun. I got the Fortnite gun. And because I'm a dad, I got some other super big. That was. Yeah, that was up there too. Some fully automatic. So I buy them all the. But I don't beat him and never did. This was putting guns to my head. This was shooting multiple rounds. Hey, don't shoot that in the house. Shut up. That was him. And the recoil like a beating. I just see where a beating could have maybe changed. He don't respect me at all.

[F]

Let me ask. I'm sorry.

[A]

Then the gun. Jan. I'm sorry. The Nerf bullet got stuck in.

[B]

Got lucky again.

[A]

I had to get it out of there and shot me in the head again. Go ahead.

[C]

I think that the issue that for my family why they didn't beat is because the connection with slavery with the belt. I feel like. Like when I think about that it bothers me right that you know, we were be as slaves and then now people beat their kids also. I feel like a lot of people don't have the understanding of if you're going to use beating for a consequence, you have to wait till you calm down and not be beating the out this kids while you angry. And most people don't do it and they end up either going too far or doing it for a reason. They might not necessarily have done it. You don't want to beat the kid because he pissed you off. You want to beat the kid to get.

[E]

And that's what usually. And that's why I asked about all the alternatives.

[C]

A lot of times, what happened?

[E]

Beating kids is easier than all the other. All the other punishments.

[C]

The more effort, a therapy, some type of plan, timeout, time out.

[A]

All right,

[C]

wait a minute. But situations where you have situations where you have to be accountable on both ends, that's that. You know what I mean? So it's like mommy say you going to take you to the park and you ain't like, getting your fucking ass up and he flipping out. It's like both of you. You know what I mean? It's all off either way. I just think that the damage that's caused by physically using that, it's hard to reverse that. That's why it's like, why risk it by hitting?

[A]

In closing, I do have one question to you about the slave shit that you said. If it was back in the days and we was in slave times and they lined all us up and the master came over there and was under uncertain about you, would you rap and say, no, I'm black?

[C]

No.

[A]

Yeah, I didn't think you would.

[E]

They wouldn't be uncertain.

[C]

But also, also at night, I will help put together plans to get us out of there. So in front of massive face game and all that damn shirt the glass up and kill him.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Mad in the house.

[G]

Did that have left Mo on the plantation?

[A]

Marcus Garve staring at you up being

[C]

a white woman, y' all are crazy.

[E]

Like you could not in slave times. They would have thought you was. You might as well have been Alec Weck. Like

[C]

times like I never got like, I never got like treated.

[F]

I could have passed to Sally Hummings the Un.

[C]

What?

[D]

No, never mind.

[E]

By the way, there's a book out there y' all should read in the audience. It's called Spare the Child by Stacy Patton. It gets into all the arguments about spanking children. They make a great argument. And it shoots down a lot of the points that people make about why they need to do it. It's just a great book. It's called. It's called Spare the Child.

[A]

Where would you gentlemen and lady like to go next? Did anybody have a chance to see the Cole?

[B]

I watched it.

[D]

The Cole What?

[A]

Cole is long wind.

[B]

Cole's long winded.

[A]

Cole and Cam.

[F]

Oh, okay.

[A]

Cole and Cam.

[E]

I saw a lot of it.

[B]

Cole is long winded. Boy, I think Cam got two questions in that whole show.

[C]

I think Cole's in a Aquarius.

[A]

Let Me see I ain't gonna hold you.

[D]

He's an Aquarius.

[C]

Yeah, he's Aquarius. We talkers.

[A]

He comes off very disingenuous.

[D]

You think so?

[B]

You really?

[A]

Yes.

[D]

How so?

[A]

I almost be cool. I kind of understand why some just don't be doing interviews and get to talking. I don't believe people like him. I don't believe nothing he say. He just comes off too inauthentic.

[B]

He got too much of a story for each.

[A]

Each. It was too many times during that interview where he said, well, at first I felt like this.

[E]

Uhhuh.

[A]

And then I felt like this. Yeah. I don't buy it. You don't think he. He said that when it came to how Hov decided to market him early in his career to how Hov decided to separate or do the. The deal, whatever. He said it when it came to the Cam suing him. He said it when it came to the Kendrick diss. He said it when it came to his features. That was supposed to be both of these just too many times where it's like, yo, at first it was this, and at first it be the. At first is real. At first, Cam, I was like, man, you suing, man, fuck this nigga. But then. And then it always lands and I don't believe none of that shit.

[B]

I will say I.

[A]

Not a word of it. Really.

[B]

Like learning a new excuse. I'm sorry. I was mixing the tape. I could. I couldn't get back to you. I was mixing the tape like the six months a year goes by.

[A]

I'm mixing the tape.

[D]

Sorry to change his mind, though, Joe.

[C]

That's no, cuz. I wanted to get pushed up, cuz. When I think if he could be that kind of person, because we all know them kind of people. That's like flip floppy like that. Or it could be super, super safe. I can see you not liking it, cuz. When you do that, you take that, you get that opportunity to say it the right way for somebody. We all know what it feel like to put it out there, and they hate it. And that's scary. So you do it that way.

[A]

There are too many people in this world that come from different walks of life. There are too many things, places and scenarios in this world for me to believe that everywhere you go and every situation you put yourself in, you're that wealth of thought out when your first thought, each time is what it was.

[B]

But then I also think the most disingenuous part for me was when he kept saying that Cam was on his Mind the whole time he was finishing his album, all that

[A]

while you were mixing.

[F]

You don't think that somebody could have the initial emotional response. Like, man, that.

[G]

Yeah.

[F]

But then you go home and you think about it, you're like, you know what? I did go back on my word. I should have done X, X, Y, and Z. That I committed to.

[A]

Yeah. And if you do that enough times, I think there's no need to say my first thought was this. No, that's your brain and your thought. Own it. And if you felt that that many times, then there's no way. I believe that in all the other circumstances on earth, the first thought never prevails. I don't believe that.

[G]

It just shows that you're human, though.

[A]

No, it shows you a celebrity and you got some media training and you. You know what to. You can't be campaigning. You don't want to say anything that'll piss anybody off. You want to wear the right colors. I'm not gonna wear no jewelry. I'm not gonna wear. I'm gonna be very. This. I'm gonna. And he never wore Jury.

[F]

That's not what I'm saying.

[A]

But I'm saying that when Eminem wore the black air maxes, studies was done in the back to see who. Who relates to the black air max the same they do with the president's side. During the debate, he seemed like that. And that's how he comes off. That's how he came off to me. Yeah, to me. To me and me only.

[D]

I've known Cole for a long time. He's a genuine guy. That's him.

[A]

Like, yeah, he's.

[D]

I think people are entitled to change their mind and change their perspective and grow, but grow.

[A]

He's talking about that happened a couple months ago.

[C]

You know what I mean?

[A]

We talking about that was.

[D]

Is there a time living on growth?

[C]

No.

[A]

Yo, in hip hop, I don't want to hear growth no more because there's

[F]

too many putting there.

[A]

Too many put. No, I can't.

[F]

Got that.

[A]

That part is true. But it's too many niggas in hip hop putting shit on growth that don't belong there. Us calling saying Jay Z don't believe in battling no more because he's grown. I don't believe Jay Z don't believe in battle no more. I had to go home and say that. I got to come on the pod and just talk about all this bullshit. I don't believe for one second that Jay Z believes that. Hoot Nanny, that he told y' all but for the sake of growth, we gotta sound right on the microphone.

[E]

Get the fuck out of here.

[D]

Yeah, I don't think Cole cares about being politically correct.

[A]

Oh, please, please, please.

[C]

Feel like. I feel like with him, if anything, it would be just a him thing. Like he just might be that kind of guy. Cyborg. I hate those kind of people.

[B]

I think he's a nice guy.

[C]

Call and cut you out in the next. In the next hours. Like, I thought about. It's like, stand on something.

[A]

Even with the Puff fight. What the. Are we talking about, Cam? Yo, shout out to Cam for being very direct with the questions.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yo, did you get no scuffle with Puff? Actually, I got the clip.

[E]

Yeah, I got the clip.

[A]

I got. Got a clip. I got a clip.

[F]

I think. I think that. I think that you could literally be like. Like this is where I think the authentic piece is. I initially was like, man, fuck that nigga. I think that's an authentic reaction and response. And then I think, yo, I got businesses, I got brands. I'm this, I'm that. So now my. My cooler head or my logical, rational head has to prevail. And that's where you see the other side. I think both of them can be genuine.

[A]

You do something 27 days straight, it'll form a habit. If, If. If you were that much of the second thought, I wouldn't keep hearing the first thought exactly.

[F]

In the moment, the emotional response is,

[A]

you know, I'm telling you, I don't believe that. I'm not saying that you are right or wrong. I don't believe that from him. Here's the clip. It was a rumor. Did you ever scuffle with Puff before or is that just all rumor?

[G]

No, it actually. Yeah, that actually happened.

[E]

I had a.

[A]

So, yeah, explain that now.

[G]

You know what?

[E]

I.

[G]

Damn, you wish I could, cuz it's such an ill story.

[A]

Everything he say sound like a lie to me. I'm not going to lie to you.

[G]

We did a podcast, me and E, and we had a bonus episode that was the. The whole episode was just about that night.

[I]

Okay.

[G]

And that altercation, right? So we was going to put it out thinking like, yo, it's cool. Like, enough time has passed. He ain't going to feel no way. Boom, boom, right? And then all the happened with him, right? And I was just like, nah, it felt like, damn, they're like kicking a man when he's down. Like, you know, I mean, it was like. It would have gave the news in the. In the world more ammo.

[A]

I got you just destroy this, right? This dude. It wasn't a good time to put

[G]

it up in a good time. So similarly, right now, it's like, yeah, I want to tell it because it's ill, but I'm like, no, you don't.

[A]

No, you don't want to tell it.

[C]

That is a lot.

[A]

Let me let it go. Remixes is crazy.

[G]

Remixes is crazy.

[H]

Like. Like, how should be happening, right?

[G]

But the remixes is crazy, right?

[I]

No story that's out there has been.

[F]

Right.

[A]

I'm still trying, too.

[H]

Just so people.

[G]

Even Punch from TDE shout out to Punch, that's my man.

[D]

But.

[C]

Right.

[G]

He gave a rendition where I'm looking at it, I'm like, yo, you got a. You got a lot of it, right? You wasn't really right there, right? So even. What you saying, you either missing details or misrepresented some details. I know the story, and Eve was right there, but I know the full front to back. You know, I'm sitting in the driver's seat and I. You know, it's memorable night for me.

[F]

So it's like, right.

[G]

I'm recalling that verbatim.

[E]

But.

[G]

But even somebody that was there that's giving it.

[C]

It's like, yo, that's annoying.

[A]

Be clear. I'm calling Cap on everything he just said. Punch also went on Twitter and said, cap, Cap.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Now, I wasn't there, so I have no idea what happened, but I've been in enough fights to know that the niggas that was standing 5 and 10ft away away seen what happened.

[C]

Yeah. Sometimes they got a better answer.

[A]

Yeah, it's a few of them, they. They seen exactly what happened.

[F]

One, told that story twice.

[A]

And two, a lot of people have told this story. But two, he. He say truths in, like, a lying type of way. I do believe that at some point he wants to tell his story. I don't think that point has been any time between the day it happened and now. You had all the time in the world. This story happened in 20, 2012 or something. So you're telling me I don't want to kick him while he's down. Yeah, he's down. But he just got down. Yeah, you could have told his story, dog.

[E]

I felt like he said, like, you know, I want to wait till there's enough time passed. And by the time then, I think he wanted a moment to do it. I think that was a very calculated.

[F]

When he started his show.

[E]

Yeah, exactly. And then when that happened, the puff happened and he said, look, you know, I don't want to pile on. I actually believe that if that's the

[C]

case, why you can't tell it right now?

[D]

But he.

[C]

Why he sitting with Cam? He's in jail. The story's over.

[E]

So I think there's two pieces to it. I think one is again, like, I think he still doesn't want to pile on, but I think two, he don't want to do it on cam platform.

[F]

I don't want to do it on cam platform. I want to do it on my own.

[E]

And I think that's the part he didn't say.

[C]

I think also second thing, I'm not

[E]

dropping that story on nobody's Dream.

[C]

That is so corny to say such. That told the story and he got it right, but it's certain things he didn't. Because, I mean, a lot he got right, but a lot is like, nigga, you ain't telling it. That's the bus. The closest we gonna get. What do it matter if he don't have the fact that you elbowed him and you didn't uppercut him? Who fucking cares? It's the same thing. If you're not gonna give it up, who cares?

[D]

Well, he spoke about it on the off season on I forget the lyric, but he mentioned him having to scrap a Puff. So it's not like he's never addressed it.

[F]

He's acknowledged it's not an addressing, not a bar.

[D]

Yeah, but he made it known that it did happen.

[C]

So then tell the story. That's all I'm saying.

[A]

Yeah. What the fuck you going on there?

[C]

What's the point? If you gonna mention the bar, tell

[A]

us Puff them beat up a bunch of UCLA coach a bunch of like, anyway, shout out to JCole. Yeah, but yeah, I don't believe speaking on.

[G]

On Puff. You heard what Usher said.

[A]

Yes, I did hear what Usher had to say.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

I.

[G]

Let me just say this. I commend Usher for not trying to submit to society titles.

[E]

Norm.

[G]

I think it's respectable. I mean, if he haven't had a bad situation with Puff, I respect the fact that he acknowledged that and he's not afraid to say it. I honestly respect that. I've watched a lot of people who have relationships with Puff do a whole 360 because they didn't want to be judged. And sometimes it's better not to say anything than say something at all.

[E]

I didn't like what he said. I think it's his, man. I'm not saying he is the pilot

[G]

and he's talked about his legacy and what he contributed to just the culture in general. I respect it.

[A]

Should I play it?

[E]

Yeah.

[J]

In the same way, I think many people choose to look past the reality of what our country is, the standards that we now stand on. We can't ignore the reality of the history. But in many ways, I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness, you know, that they offer. I don't have anything negative to say about Sean Combs because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he's been, you know, misrepresented. I'm not saying that every man is perfect. I'm not saying that all of us don't have flaws. But I can't, with any sense of humanity, not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as black entrepreneurs.

[A]

Yeah, that should sound like J. Cole's second thought.

[J]

People transition culture and ideas into something that's tangible. It becomes business. So many people benefited from what he created, and I acknowledge that, and that's why I see him as legacy.

[H]

You told Shannon Sharpe you learned a

[A]

lot about business during that era.

[J]

Absolutely.

[A]

What you.

[J]

Bun Puff was a mentor of Bun.

[A]

Interviewer tried to get like, you know,

[J]

you have that really, really hard teacher, you know, but you're watching something in real time. I think that the idea of the level of discipline that came with that time in business, especially in an era that was trying to prove itself culturally in hip hop. Now, you can't turn on the television and not see the influence of hip hop. That's right. But the people who actually made that appropriate and other forefathers are people like strangers, Sean Combs, and not just in the great times that they had musically, but in the idea of being able to. To find ways to monetize culture and create something that was not just black or white. It was colorless, it was green. That's who I see that man as.

[B]

I don't think it's that different.

[J]

That's what I choose to remember. I don't think it's full respect on his name, because I realized that he's almost done. What I learned as a businessman, before I even understood what business was, was came as a result of seeing the incredible things that he was able to do and the way that he positioned himself as a businessman. There are trials and tribulations that come with pressures of. Of success and power, but what we choose to do with it is what I hope that you see with me and hopefully other people that I'm involved with. Right.

[D]

Two things.

[B]

That's a lot of Words to not also just say that video was absolutely disgusting.

[C]

And I agree. I totally feel where flip coming from where like you don't. You're not doing what everybody else doing and you're not. But it was a way that he could have did that without doing that. And I just like free for so many people to be. It'd be a known thing that them up financially. It's like you mentioning about what he did for entrepreneurs. I just think he sounds stupid.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Like I don't. I mean he's known to rob. That's what he known to do. So it's like what the are we talking about? Also so I feel like with the age thing, I'm sure you probably looked up to him cause you're a kid, you know what I mean, when you meet him or whatever. But. And I get what you're saying. I respect it too.

[G]

Everyone experience is different though, mom. Everybody experience with somebody just because. Just because I think we made it acceptable for. Yeah, we saw the video. He's a piece of shit for that and stuff like that. But there's also, however there's people that have a great experience with him and why they shouldn't say they shouldn't share their experience because right now he, he's. He's being looked at as this big monster. No, you can share your positive experience with somebody even if they're looked at as a monster. You can and you shouldn't be afraid to do so if it's genuine. And a lot of times I watch people do that. I watch people be in niggas face laughing, smiling and change their whole shit because of some shit that came out. I'd rather somebody just shut the fuck up. Yo, a lot of times I shut the fuck up. If I see my man, I shut the fuck up. My man did something and I love him and he took care of me. He. I'mma shut the fuck up.

[E]

But he didn't do that. That's my issue. I don't have an issue with him saying the good experiences he had with Puff or saying the great things that Puff did in business. I don't have a problem with that. I also don't have a problem with him shutting the fuck up if he doesn't say anything about it.

[A]

Right.

[E]

Cause that's his man. He could have just said, I don't wanna talk about that. Boom. I'm cool with that. To me it felt like a five minute straw man. He starts by saying some people get prosecuted. He says he got misrepresented.

[C]

Yeah, that's right.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

You could walk if you don't. If you come down on this planet and hear this interview, you would almost think to me that Puff was mistreated. Almost. That he didn't do anything wrong, right? That he was railroaded. So for me, I don't have a problem with. And you might not know anything, let's say, and I don't believe this, but let's say Usher knew nothing bad about Puff, doesn't know any bad stories about Puff, don't know anything. And he just found. He saw that Cassie video for the first time. Like us, right? You can still see, say that Cassidy video is fucked up. But that's not all there is to know about this man. He's also this, this, this and all the shit he said. That's my only issue with it. Like when you hear him talk, it's like he only talked about the good stuff. And also finally like he. I think it's a dishonest argument. I don't think anybody has ever denied those things about Puff. They're just saying. In fact, I think most of Puff's life he's been celebrated for all the awesome shit he did. It's only in the last two to three years that all this other shit is coming out.

[G]

So it.

[E]

But it's also to me like not honest to make it seem like he's never gotten his due. I think he's gotten his due and now we found out some fucked up shit and we need to own that too or be quiet about him.

[D]

That's what you think of grace.

[C]

He earned his fall from grace.

[G]

Let me ask you a question. Do you think that he's maybe saying that the time that he got for the crime that he was found guilty on may be too much?

[E]

Because that's what he's saying.

[G]

I think that then we're giving him time for. Okay, we talked about the video. He said we saw the video.

[A]

But. But he said exactly what he wanted to say. And I disagree with where I'm having a problem with y' all stance. Not that I disagree with something y' all saying, but y' all stance don't leave room for the people that feel like Usher, for the people that Flip is sitting here talking about. Everybody don't doesn't choose to have to acknowledge the worst of their homie when

[F]

they acknowledge it on.

[C]

I don't think.

[A]

And he said that.

[E]

I don't think he needs to do that.

[A]

You keep saying he should say that

[D]

or he should not say that.

[F]

No, no.

[E]

What I'm saying is if you want to say B and just be fine. What I'm saying is when you say he's been misrepresented and some people get

[A]

prosecuted, a lot of people feel like he was misrepresented. I mean, I'm. Pardon.

[E]

Gives the impression that you feel that that stuff isn't true or isn't accurate or that you don't have a position on it.

[F]

Let me say this.

[A]

But he said I choose not to focus on those. No, but, but even in those things,

[F]

even in the misrepresentation point, at some point point they were calling Puff this serial. They were saying that Puff did all of these things. And if you are Usher and let's. I'm just gonna. Cuz I don't wanna be insensitive, right? Let's just say you were around Puff and you seen women throwing themselves at him. Right? Or you might have some information of a woman that gave Puff sex consensually. And then that person then came out and said, yo, he did these things to me. That's a misrepresentation. Nobody in America, America can say they misrepresented Puff as a woman beater after seeing him whip Cassie's ass. That's not a misrepresentation. That is accurate is spot on. It's dead on. But there could have been other things in that case that were a misrepresentation of him. They was trying to get a life. My.

[E]

Right.

[F]

For being a sexual carnivore. He was trying to get that life. My. So if you looking at it from that perspective, I see how somebody's. That's your friend that knows the other side of you or might have been in some of that shit with. You can say, yo, that's a misrepresentation of what these freak offs were.

[E]

I don't think. I don't take issue. Just let me respond to real quick. I don't take issue with that. What you just said has a lot of nuance. And you're saying it might not have been this. It might have been this might not. And the problem is when you give these kind of flat statements to the media, it leaves room for this conversation that didn't need to be left. If you just say some of that shit was fucked up. But there's a lot of shit the media got wrong. And I wanna focus on the shit that's good about. That's not how I took it.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[E]

I didn't hear that.

[C]

Right now because we learning we're growing As a community, as a culture, we are. We treat things differently when they're victims involved. And that's why you are supposed to say like that there's humans that were hurt by this motherfucker, and they're still walking around. You know what I mean? You never mind, because I'm gonna say that y' all said I went somewhere else with it.

[F]

No, no.

[D]

I think Asha can't win. You know what I mean? Like, he's in a lose, lose situation. He's just said Mark. He was like, he shouldn't say anything.

[A]

He has to.

[D]

Then he looks like if he doesn't, he's complicit.

[F]

They gonna diss him, y'.

[I]

All.

[F]

You ass. You ain't saying nothing, cuz. You know, Puffles fondling you when you was little, it's easy to.

[B]

To just say he did some up. But he also did all this great. It's very.

[G]

But why does he have to acknowledge that he.

[A]

We all. That's the answer I'm looking for from y'.

[F]

All.

[C]

Because of humans. That's my answer.

[G]

Because someone to appease people.

[C]

Not. I wouldn't call it appeasing anybody, but I would call it respecting people that were hurt in the situation. That's how I look at it.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

And it was about women. You know what I mean? So it's like. It's sensitive like that. It's a.

[G]

It was.

[C]

It's a huge case. Now you're gonna bring up the case. The victim was champion for this person to get to go to jail. That lady killed herself. She has three children and family at home. I mean, victims are hurt by. And these are famous people. I'm not talking about somebody attached to a huge case. Similar.

[A]

So any time that Puff's name is brought up to Puff's friends, they should lead with the victim.

[B]

No.

[A]

Or they. No. But if someone says, what do you

[B]

think about this Puff situation? You should answer it. Yeah. It's not like there's that.

[G]

Ms.

[A]

The question, what do you think about the Puff situation?

[F]

But even if that is the question, I can say, yo, yeah, Puff was good to me. You don't have to state the obvious because we all saw him with this girl's ass.

[E]

But see, I think in a culture like this, it is obvious. I think a lot of people. You have good morals and values. A lot of people don't. And I don't think it's obvious. I think there are a lot enough people defending Puff and a lot of people defending awful that it's not clear where everybody's.

[F]

I don't know, somebody, I don't know one person that defended him beating that

[C]

girl, bro, the way that he was charged and as stupid the case was and how. Because we all feel like it was. The case was weird, right? Because of that. I think some people kind of like try to make it like he wasn't still a up ass person. Like the case was weird. He got arrested for some weird cool, but he still was a monster. So it's like, I think people take that little. That little and run with it.

[A]

But he wasn't a monster to everybody, which is part of what Usher is saying.

[C]

Young Miami just came out and said she didn't have experience.

[G]

A lot of people just real quick, in closing for me, the stuff that he was accused of and stuff like that, if you remove the beating, a lot of them was into that. Meaning, like. Meaning like the sexual, sexual expression and freedom of sex and stuff. They, they were into those type of things. No, I'm talking about the beating isn't. I'm talking about what he got charged. I'm keeping it on the charges. Yeah, he didn't get charged for beating cats.

[B]

I understand that.

[A]

Right.

[G]

Yeah. We're talking.

[B]

We saw it though.

[G]

We did see it, but then we saw a lot of.

[F]

I think we saw a lot of

[G]

the same thing that happened with. What's this name that got with the jail recipes? Oj. When the cr. We don't have to get.

[B]

And we don't speak very positively of oj.

[G]

But what I'm saying, with the oj.

[A]

Yeah, but y' all don't speak negatively about his man that drove him around running from the cops either.

[F]

Or, or we haven't.

[E]

A little different.

[G]

We.

[F]

Look, we haven't interviews with OJ's friends. Some of OJ's friends, if they were in front of a camera, would potentially speak about him in reference.

[B]

That's not himself.

[A]

I'm just saying. What do y' all expect his friends to do? We do pick.

[G]

We do.

[A]

We do pick.

[C]

Oh, oh, yeah. We really don't bring up him.

[E]

Cory just said we don't talk about Dr. Dre. I agree, but I've said up here on this platform multiple times, we need to talk about Dr. Dre. Yeah, we just need to. I mean, I think you're right. We're selective about who we get outraged by. We'll clap for one person. I, I agree with all of that. I'm just saying we, all of us, myself included, could do better with that. And. But I'm not even saying Usher did this awful. I just think again, at a moment like this, I think it does warrant. I just think a few more sentences. It's not that I want him to say less. Everything he said was fine. I think if you just add a couple more sentences, it doesn't end up doing harm to the victims or making people become. In a culture that's dismissive of victims, reinforce that. That's all. I just think. I think there's just a level of responsibility. It comes. But I don't expect people's friends to trash them in public. That's not what I'm asking. Remember I said he could have said nothing about it in bipartisan.

[F]

But y' all are saying that his. This couple. So let me ask you. So I don't infer what you're meaning. The couple sentences that he could have added on would have been what, in your opinion, appropriately.

[E]

I think if you're going. Once you start walking down the street with this. Right. Once you say he's been misrepresented, I think it's important in a culture that's victim blaming, victim denied to say what's been misrepresented or just don't say he's been misrepresented. If they had asked him, usher, what do you think about the pup situation? He said, look, that's my friend. I just wanna focus on the positive. Bum, bum, bum. I ain't got no issue with it. This was. It's not that I need him to. To go through this long treatise about what's up about puff, but once you throw words that like misrepresent it, it invites people to believe he's talking about

[A]

Mark.

[G]

He's talking about one specific subject, but

[E]

we don't know what the subject is.

[G]

He talking about Cassie, talking about the victims.

[E]

We don't. I'm sorry. I apologize.

[G]

No, no, it's all right. I want to. We going in circles. I feel like he's talking about one specific subject. I'm talking. I think he's talking about the sexual.

[F]

The charges.

[G]

The charges. I don't think he's talking about anything with Cassie. We saw the video. You can't make an excuse for that. We saw what that did run with a tower. It was discussing. He's talking about one thing. Yo, the. With all that sex, what they were saying, he was doing this, he was doing that. He was forcing this and forcing that. I think he's misrepresented in that because I might have been there. I might have been aware of the Situation. And there's a lot of niggas that do these type of things. And that's why I leave it at that, you know?

[E]

And again, he's been misrepresented, represented in some parts of the story.

[A]

Boom.

[E]

We good again. It just beat a little bit for me.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

You know who has not been misrepresented? Joe Budden.

[D]

Who?

[E]

Bob fucking Barker. My whole world has been on fire for last. I spent my childhood, remember I told y', all, my cousin Chris keep saying his name. The crack addict used to raise me. He raised me along with Bob Barker. He was a babysitter, Everybody's babysitter. And it turns out he ain't with none of y'.

[A]

All.

[C]

The price is wrong. Y' all are surprised that.

[G]

Yes.

[A]

Why?

[C]

I'm not white and gray. That's enough.

[F]

Are you surprised that some older, rich white man in the 70s didn't with blacks?

[E]

In my clearest mind, I'm not surprised. But the childhood mark that watched Bob Barker hug people, give kisses on the cheek. I watched the doctor documentary. Did y' all see it?

[D]

I saw the clips.

[A]

I'm trying to find what is the name of it, because my memory is.

[E]

I think it's just called the Prices, right?

[F]

Because.

[E]

Oh, the series is called Dirty Rotten Scandals.

[A]

Dirty rotten scandals. Six episodes. The first two episodes are Dr. Phil. The next two episodes are the Tyra Banks. And the last two episodes, the final two episodes. Episodes were the Bob Barker Price is Right episode, which have now gone viral. But that went viral when I started watching, like, when I started watching episode one, which was Dr. Phil. And it took me a little while to finish Dr. Phil. So the Internet was going on and on about Bob Barker, and I'm like, Yo, Dr. Phil is a piece of shit. How did y' all get to Bob Barker? And Skip saying, wow, Dr. Phil is a piece of Dr. Phil came trash. Dr. Phil is a piece of.

[G]

As far as what, racist?

[A]

No.

[G]

Okay, so, all right. That's why they was talking about Bob Barker.

[A]

He was racist Dr. Phil. And. And we'll get to Bob barker. In short, Dr. Phil was accused of exploiting the mental health people and bringing them on the show and using their plight to sell a book or to do all the advertising for

[E]

help.

[A]

Help centers where they were killing people

[D]

like some Jack Kevorkian shit.

[F]

The health.

[A]

Well, you know, the health centers now is a big deal, right? Like, finding people that will actually caretake is a big deal. But these places that he would have on there with all of these funny names, there's a bunch of funny names. But it was a bunch of ads in every episode. And during the investigation, you know, they was like, yo, is Dr. Phil sending people to places that they're killing people or letting people run away? They had. They had these parents on, and this is what I'll say. They had these parents on. The parents son was schizophrenic. Something like. There was a term. They knew he had issues. He had an episode in the house where he ran away. He had a schizo episode, ran off. They couldn't locate him. They couldn't find him. Dr. Phil, people found the kid and had the kid agree to come on and do the show. And then called the parents and said, hey, y' all agree to do this, we will send your son to get the help that he needs. So now the son comes on, and it seems like Dr. Phil is trying to bait a schizophrenic episode out of him.

[F]

Live for ratings.

[A]

Live on. Live on air for the ratings. They showed the episode. This shit looks absolutely nuts. So cool. When it's all said and done, they send the kid to whatever the healthcare place is that Dr. Phil is promoting. The parents say that the kid was there for two weeks, and they kicked him out. They kicked him out of the healthcare place. So then he was on the street. He got arrested. He did it. He did a whole bunch of.

[F]

But

[A]

watch it.

[E]

It's worth watching. It's worth watching every episode of that series.

[A]

But Bob Barker. The Price is Right. Yeah. Bob Barker was a piece of. But before we get to that, the Barker Beauties.

[E]

Yo, yo.

[A]

Kathleen. Right now. Right? Right now.

[F]

It wasn't in.

[E]

She's 73.

[A]

And Holly.

[E]

No, Holly's the one.

[D]

Ms. Parker.

[A]

No, Kathleen was the one. Kathleen was the black girl.

[E]

Kathleen is.

[G]

Is.

[F]

Yeah, it's the other chick.

[A]

But Holly was right. And Shorty that disappeared.

[C]

Who?

[A]

Who, Who? He was with Diana.

[F]

Kenny Smith. Wife. Used to be one of the girls.

[D]

I don't know.

[B]

Y' all know a lot about the Barker beauties.

[E]

I did some research last night.

[A]

Well, yesterday, that was the first time I heard it from, like, Barker beauties. My grandma just used to have the prices right on her.

[F]

She's cute.

[A]

And Holly was the goofy one. That's the one I remember. Cause she would always come out and fall or be doing something goofy. The Barker beauties are beautiful now is the point of what we say.

[B]

Cause they were in the show. Yeah.

[A]

These are older. These women are 70 years old.

[B]

Still fine.

[A]

And that Kathleen lady is almost finer now than she was.

[E]

She looked amazing. And Bob wouldn't have to touch him with a 10 foot pole.

[F]

Holly Hallstrom.

[A]

Yeah, Holly was right too. But anyway, so Bob Barker started. Diana, one of the Barker beauties. She was absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Bob had good taste, but that's worse. Workplace misconduct and all types of other shit day.

[D]

Was it?

[E]

No, that's kind of the point of the story.

[A]

It is like is it should have been.

[B]

Yeah, for sure.

[E]

But it. It was wild going on there. I mean they used to make this woman like put on the outfit. Even the writer was like, yo, they made me put on this outfit and go downstairs into the room with all these men like wearing this shit and doing this shit. Shit ain't nothing to do with her job. It's just like. That was just the culture of the spot. It was like some Mad Men shit.

[A]

It was just. This is some Donald Sterling shit. Yeah, actually. Cause Diana's fucking him and then she's the one that learns or that has the tea. Well, that's when the tea comes out. Where people were gonna be mad.

[C]

It.

[A]

Bob was going to be mad if he found out that Diana had sex with black men. Which Diana's fine.

[E]

Yes.

[A]

So Diane has had sex with black men and she told him one.

[F]

We fine.

[A]

Yeah. And so they want us.

[E]

You talking about black men were the most diseased people on the planet?

[A]

Yes. Yeah. So he fired the girl. Got at all. And then she had a case pending against him, to which he settled. And then nobody ever heard from Diana again. But then came Holly, who more of the same. Sexual harassment retaliatory efforts, gender discretion, you name it, they was on it. In this. Holly got her payback. Holly got her get back at the end of the day because Holly had a case. She filed a suit and said, I don't care how broke I am, if I got to sell a house and if I gotta sell a car, whatever I gotta sell. I'm not leaving this. Because justice needs to be done for all the shit that's going on. Claudia Jordan was in it. I was off of Price is Right by the time. So that was a surprise to me.

[F]

The chick, what's her name was Fire. I used to watch shit with Pop Corey. But Manuela and she was on there. She was Fire. And then Kenny Smith's ex wife. I think they divorced now. Those two were the up.

[B]

Now that you mentioned it, I do remember him being a little handsy.

[E]

Oh, they show you on the clip they like. You watch the wheel and I'll watch Your dresses. Like, he would say, like that. When you go back and watch the old episode, he was saying some wild freaky.

[B]

Was he saying racist on there?

[A]

No, no. But in the second episode is when they're like, yo, Bob Barker would only allow two black people on the show at a time. And he had to be notified. You had to write a B on the card. What?

[F]

So he would know.

[A]

Know when a black contestant is coming out.

[B]

Oh, say some crazy.

[A]

And when the black contestant came out. I love a good doc because a good doc, when they talk about some that I want to see, they pan right to it in the episode. So they said, yo, when black people would come out, he would, like, run from them if they tried to touch him. And sure enough, they went right to an episode where the lady won some and she tried to. And he ran. Oh, like, he looked afraid. Yeah, yeah, he really looked afraid. He was a fucking mess. I'm not so sure that I'm shocked about this, but it wasn't at the top of my mind. So then I was mad when they said he died. He's been dead for a while. He's been dead for a while. So what?

[F]

I want a dragon.

[A]

I want a dragon. So what?

[D]

Then when these things come out, it's like, okay, he's dead now.

[E]

What?

[A]

Like, no, but not just he's dead. He died at 99.

[B]

Damn, that's a lot.

[E]

So, nigga, that's how you play the Price is Right. You don't want to go over to that zero.

[A]

You had the nerve to live this, But you got the nerve to live a nice, healthy, long life of racism?

[G]

Yes.

[E]

99 years when people be like, he'll get his dude.

[G]

No, they don't.

[E]

The world don't work that way. Bad people live a long time.

[A]

They do sometimes. You know, they be chilling.

[B]

Meanwhile, the models keep working.

[A]

Meanwhile we drive to jerk off 21 times. This is crazy. Yeah, Bob Barker is a piece of. All of the beauties were beautiful and stunning. Shout out to Claudia Jordan. I, I, I felt, I felt her pain. I felt, I felt all of the pain. I felt all the pain.

[F]

She was a black model up there,

[A]

and they start showing her. They start showing the old Claudia Jordan clips of her from, like, 01 and 02. Chill out, yo.

[G]

What happened?

[F]

She was fired.

[D]

She was hot. Game show host might be pieces of. Remember like Richard Dawson from Family Feud? He used to kiss the contestants.

[A]

Wait, he was bad?

[F]

Why you always exaggerated.

[E]

He was there longer than you.

Yeah, I think I know who Richard do this dumb. Said it would be hand rap graphics. No, the bar though. There was graphics on it.

[B]

It wasn't no graphics in the 70s, bro.

[A]

Dick Dawson. What else is important to you guys or unimportant?

[E]

Unimportant to me, but interesting. I stumbled into this. The candy Burs divorce settlement. I was this.

[A]

I'm going on a mark. Let him cook. Let him cook.

[E]

No, no. I just thought it was interesting and wondering what you thought. I don't watch watch reality shows, but I kind of got sucked into it.

[A]

You literally hosted the reunion of mad reality shows. You watched them and you were well researched.

[E]

Yeah, I'm a professional.

[C]

He's a professional.

[E]

I'm what you call a professional.

[A]

I'll say that P word up here.

[E]

Oh yeah.

[B]

Strikes a nerve here.

[E]

But Candi Burris and her husband Todd got divorced. It's a very public divorce. And here's the settlement. Todd will get $426,000 in lump sum. Six cars bump. Just to let you know. Mercedes g wagon, Porsche 911, Range Rover, Ford Bronco, Lincoln, Ford Transit, vans.

[C]

God damn.

[E]

No child support, no spousal support. Kandy keeps five cars. Bentley SUV, Escalade, Ford F250, Porsche Cayenne, and 63 Camaro.

[J]

He won.

[E]

Kandy also takes the Atlanta Hawks season tickets.

[A]

Damn. Not the tickets.

[E]

And primary control of the kids passports.

[A]

Oh, you just being a jerk. You get the Hawks tickets and the couple just.

[E]

Finally. The couple will share joint legal custody of Ace and Blaze. The kids staff to sell their food truck. Split credit card reward points, keep real estate details private. So we don't know what happened to the houses. And additionally, Todd must move out of Candy's guest house within 15 days of this deal being apparent. Deal being signed, and Todd has to pay Candy $38,000 for the balance of the Hawks tickets, which he did.

[A]

15 days is very, very low. Like normally it's 90 days. Yeah.

[F]

120.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. 60. Anywhere between 60. 120. Like 15 days. You're trying to be. Yeah, you're trying to be a dick.

[E]

15 days in Hawks tickets felt like.

[A]

Yeah, you're trying to be a dick.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

I don't know who right and wrongs. I know their business, but that. That sound nasty.

[B]

You can sleep in one of the cars.

[C]

Well, if you don't know, it's. You know. When Todd and Candy met, it was all on when she was on Atlanta Housewives. Candy. Candy was working and Ty was a part of the production team. So Ty had to quit his job for them to be together for her to stay on the show and shit.

[A]

What was his job?

[E]

That's what I can't get.

[C]

He was on the production team?

[A]

No, before that.

[C]

That's what he does. Like he. I guess he produces Shit. I don't know what producer niggas do. He was working on a reality on

[E]

the production team could mean a lot of things. That could be craft services.

[C]

Okay.

[E]

Right.

[A]

If she got the Hawks tickets, he probably was craft services.

[C]

He quit the job so they can be together. And her mother infamously hated him. So it was like a thing. She was always trying to prove herself, prove that his. His worth to her mother and all this other shit.

[G]

So.

[C]

So I think the masses pretty much believe like it is what it is. Although they work together creating things after

[E]

the show was over, including restaurants.

[F]

And he ain't no mutt neither.

[A]

Oh, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

[F]

He's not a mutt. Todd Tucker, the husband of Candi Burris, is a television Producer Todd Tucker, the husband of Kandi Buress, is a television producer, director and production manager known for his work on shows like the Real Housewives of Atlanta and various other films. He's also thinner.

[A]

Okay, I need more Stephen King shit.

[F]

Thinner. He runs house. I'm trying to find some other shit

[A]

that we would not. He's also now he had a run when run's house was. I see what he was moving at a certain time and it sound like things may have slowed down.

[F]

He's also an entrepreneur who's worked behind the scenes scenes in production for network such as VH1 and BET.

[A]

Yeah, he's popped. Yeah, he's. He's absolutely popped.

[E]

He need to walk stickers.

[A]

He going to do it. Not a day.

[D]

That 400 grand is a one time payment.

[E]

Yes. A lump that's. I'm wondering if he's going now. I'm like, what does it mean to leave your other person kind of up in the game?

[A]

Oh, see before you get there. And again, I'm not married. I have no experience. However. However, I assume that if two people are married and somebody is enough of a dick in the marriage for divorce to be divorced time. When you think the spin back is coming. The divorce, the spin back is coming. So I don't know what he did. I don't know the nature of this divorce. But I'm not. When I start seeing the details of a real ugly divorce now I'm not on the. I don't have a horse in the race until I'd learned who wronged who and what was the wrong. Because you can't expect your partner to just hold all that.

[B]

True.

[C]

They haven't dogged each other in the first though. They outgrew each other.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

He did get the restaurant. Good for him.

[F]

He did not receive child support or spousal support, but he. He retained control of their restaurants. They say that Candy's network net worth is 30 and his is. His is around 4.

[A]

So he's not a bum.

[E]

He's not a bum.

[A]

He's not a bum.

[E]

I wish him the best and everything. I just was like, that's a big imbalance. I'm surprised he didn't get spousal support.

[A]

That's the other part. I'm sorry, Mark. That's scary about marriage. Like once you are married, that's when the earnings matter to you, y'. All. Like that's when it's considered community. Yeah. Money.

[E]

And they made a lot of it together. The restaurants and other things that. That's Where? Yeah.

[F]

And if he had to quit his job because of the conflict of interest, I just think seem like you just

[A]

should have got more.

[F]

Yeah, but see if you a. Sometimes, sometimes you don't want it. Yeah, sometimes you look like a ass. If you taking this chick's money, you like it. I'll start from. From scratch. I'm dead ass. Like, it's unfortunate, but a lot of men don't they feel uncomfortable taking more or trying to. Trying to gouge. You know what I'm saying? It's like, yo, give me 400000 some cars, a house and some restaurants. I'm cool. I can make do with what I've been making do. I'm a. I could get it from the trenches.

[A]

Could you see yourself taking that position? And if you were ever in the

[F]

divorce, I would take that position and

[E]

I would be on the phone with you like, nigga, don't take that position.

[F]

I would take that position. Unless I was like really up. Then I would be like, yo, you got to give me something. Like when I broke up with my ex, I took nothing cuz off. I took my clothes. We built a life together. We had houses, we had furniture, we had. I took my clothes.

[A]

But you didn't go in the relationship with much.

[F]

Who said that I built all of that? Play yourself.

[A]

Go ahead, play yourself. What the is you talking about? I'mma never miss.

[F]

No, but again, dawg, you just leave as the guy for me. I can't speak for other men. I feel like a bitch ass nigga trying to do that. I don't wanna fight.

[A]

We had this talk and a lot of people are killing Offset for his position or alleged position in the Carti divorce where he's like, no, I'm leaving with something. Like I contributed and I wanna leave with something. I know I'm a dude, I know I got my own money, but fuck that.

[E]

Look, Ish, you got every right to leave with less than you. You're entitled to. That's your choice. I just don't. I just hate the idea that men aren't entitled. That's true. To leave with the. That they help build or women. It's for me, it's whoever if we build some together. I agree.

[B]

I want my piece.

[E]

I want a piece of it. Especially if my is harder to replicate than yours.

[C]

I feel like it's like when this

[E]

is over, she can't. She gonna get more shows. She still got scrubs money coming in. Rope hits. That's not the scrubs money.

[D]

Like, yo, shape of you money.

[E]

Right.

[C]

She created a lot of that stuff to help him make money, to help him become independent. That's why to me, it's just like, it's crazy to be like, oh, well, we built it together. She was building it with you so you can make some income because you weren't making any again.

[A]

It don't sound like he's ever been a bum, though.

[F]

And I don't want to put. I don't want to put.

[A]

Don't sound like.

[F]

Or moocher on, like, I don't want to do that.

[D]

Can you flip the script? I think a lot of things started to happen happened after that whole situation, which can do.

[A]

I don't know who you.

[D]

Mary J. Blige.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[A]

He did her dirty.

[D]

Yeah. Like, after that situation happened, I felt like there was more people, more men getting what they wanted.

[F]

Jennifer Lopez, one of. Jennifer Lopez husbands.

[D]

One of them.

[F]

But is it the Chris Is it got nine mil. They was married.

[A]

Yeah, but he was a bum.

[C]

Is it the comic consistency? Bl husband was like a mucher though, or. No, it's not that.

[E]

That's the story. I don't know they situation.

[C]

Like, what do the people think?

[E]

Mary has communicated through her interviews. And I don't. I don't know her and I don't know him. But in her interview, she has communicated that he took more than he deserved and that his approach was up and

[F]

he was doing fun the way he did it and he was doing function

[C]

and he was cheating. Yeah.

[E]

You can't cheat and get more money.

[A]

That you saw.

[F]

It's who he was cheating with.

[E]

But that.

[C]

Who was it?

[E]

Men don't gossip.

[C]

Oh, please.

[E]

Till we get home back.

[A]

I'm about to say we don't. Oh, my God. Yo, I know we finished new music. Yep. But it was an album that came out like a week ago, I want to say a week ago from One of the OG's, Carrie Hilson.

[E]

Yes. Shout out to her.

[A]

So I just want to play one of these records because I went to it on some. Oh, Carrie. I went to see Carrie. Let me. Let me see what the album is in for. And it's. I think she did a three disc thing. No, first disc has. No, no, the first disc got like nine songs like an album. And then disc two maybe has six, and then disc three has five good joints on there. This is the one I purchased, though.

[E]

Can you give. Can you give me some attention?

[A]

First of all, any of these 80s beats come on and I'm in this sound like the Kiss. It better remix beat. This record is called Something Bout you Off. Kerry Hilson's new project, we need to Talk Redemption is the name of her new project. This beat is sick.

[E]

Still got it.

[A]

As soon as the second verse comes on and the beat changes, I'll cut it off. But I need to get a beat change, Baby.

[C]

Yeah, With.

[A]

Oh, All right. God damn. That be a song.

[F]

She should have sold that.

[A]

That be. She should have sold the what? The song

[B]

Cold Blood should have sold that.

[A]

That's a smash. That should have gave that to Christina

[F]

Aguilera, Taylor Swift or one of them. That would have been out of here.

[A]

That beat is fire. Absolutely fire. Ridiculous. Shout out to Kerry Hilson. She puts on a great show. I swear. With Tank. So listen. So my girl finally went home. Make some noise. But that means nobody clapped.

[C]

I love that.

[A]

No, but you should clap because that means that they got the flights back up and running for people to travel. Our flight was canceled for a long time. So the first fact that she was able to get a flight out of Newark Airport and it be peace. And it was. Yeah, it was empty.

[F]

It was empty.

[A]

Newark was empty. Yeah.

[C]

I walk.

[F]

I got there mad early. You flew to D.C. i flew to DC. I got there mad early. Like two hours before.

[A]

It's best to do that for time management.

[F]

Yeah, of course. So I flew to dc.

[C]

That was crazy.

[G]

Yo, dog, you just.

[C]

That's insane to fly to D.C. right now. Sounds crazy.

[A]

You're just a messy dog.

[F]

That's why it's a 40 minute flight going on. It's a 40 minute flight, fam.

[C]

It's a drive.

[A]

When you need to get in and get out, though, a flight is the best way. When you got something, you got to come back home and do you gotta fly your dog anyway. But yes, the airport. The airport.

[F]

So they. They had started. Actually, they said JFK was so up, they started sending the people to Newark for flights because JFK was just that backed up. I was literally through TSA PreCheck in five. I mean through TSA in five minutes.

[E]

Wow.

[A]

But as for the rest of you airports out there, DHS has come to terms. They've made a deal with tsa. The details of which I have no idea. I have no idea. But they have struck a deal. So they say they do expect the workers to be back to work next week. Week. Make some noise. They will be getting paid. We don't know how much they getting paid, but they'll be getting. What the. Tyler Perry.

[C]

Yeah, Tyler Perry went to the airport

[A]

in Atlanta with cash walking backwards again. Okay, yeah, no, I'm saying Tyler Perry walking back.

[F]

No, he started save people in the airport.

[C]

Yeah, he, he, he came to the airport in Atlanta with cash trying to give it up.

[G]

A lot of people do that.

[B]

You got to get his 21 too, man.

[C]

It was a nice gesture. A fire just he was trying to give him to the CSA workers because they talking about they not being able to eat, get gas and like they try to give out cash and they shut it down. They said because it's strict rules behind what you can and can't take with CSA is for because you know they're secure security. So they shut it down. They wasn't able to give out money to anybody. I just thought that was funny. Now we have to follow the rules. Like it's like what the. I couldn't imagine being at work going through that. And this come with a bag of money. They like no, you gotta leave.

[A]

And me actually yeah, you would quit

[C]

that day at what this can I

[A]

work over there and giving them the ass too. And you letting him hit number D album.

[C]

We can get married. Yo,

[A]

This is what I'm saying. We really happy that the TSA people are going to get paid. But what I'm noticing across social media happening and I want to ask you brothers about it and sister, I see a lot of boyfriends on their timeline expressing that their significant others are trapped in either Miami or Houston, all flights are canceled and their girlfriends have been trapped and stuck for weeks at a time. And the niggas are on their timeline having like full on meltdowns about it. And that made me wonder go get em. Because the same way that girlfriends are stuck outta town, boyfriends are stuck outta town, the flights are a mess. However, I ain't seen one girlfriend say oh man, my man is stuck in Houston, he can't get back. It's only the dudes.

[B]

Wait till she got a open window or something like that.

[A]

Which made me wonder are the women just holding it down more

[E]

is your thoughts?

[F]

I, I have no thoughts on the man matter.

[A]

Women might be holding it down more when it comes to that.

[G]

What do you mean holding it down more? As far as keeping it Pete, I don't.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[G]

So why you don't think the is being sarcastic on the timeline? You think is really affected that their girls are stuck? They could just be sarcastic.

[A]

I believe them.

[E]

I believe them.

[A]

Ain't you think not tripping. You think it's performative?

[G]

Come on Joe, you know that is

[A]

lit,

[G]

Let me move you out. You took it.

[C]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Miami.

[G]

And my wife is stuck in Trinidad. Oh, man, I can't wait till she get home. I'm lit. Are you crazy?

[D]

If she's stuck in Houston, she belongs to rap a lot now.

[F]

Flip is wrong. First of all, Flip might be secure in his spot. These out here insecure as facts. And if your girl is stuck in some spot that's lit, guess what else is the there lit with some spankies.

[A]

It makes a good point. It makes a good point with the security thing, but off of the security thing because the security thing is true. Now I forgot what I was like.

[F]

And she might not have no money.

[A]

Oh, that's what I was saying. If everybody is at their LTIs, if the boyfriend stuck out of town is at his littest and the girlfriend stuck out of town are out there, lit us are at their l. I think the boyfriends know. Did they lose?

[B]

Yes, bubble guts.

[A]

Which is why they get to tweeting straight dire. Cuz I ain't saying them dudes ain't. Ain't doing their numbers.

[F]

It's different.

[A]

Just not like her.

[F]

It's different.

[E]

It's different.

[C]

He's imagining 10 dicks in her mouth.

[F]

Oh, my gosh, fam, think about rich dicks. Yo, let me ask you a bunch of rich dicks.

[A]

That's the thing. Rich dicks.

[F]

Look, let's say your girl lives ch.

[C]

I heard rich dick come. Tastes different.

[A]

Oh, my gosh, a joke.

[F]

Yo, let's say your girl.

[A]

I was about to have a char. Yeah, yeah, look, I skipped it.

[F]

Let's say your girl living check to check. How's she paying for the hotel rooms?

[D]

Good question.

[A]

Wait, why you. Why you made her poor?

[F]

No, I'm just. I'm giving an example. Most people don't have excess bread like

[E]

that that spend an extra two weeks in hotels.

[F]

Yeah, you spend an extra two weeks.

[A]

Two weeks, two days, three nights, four nights.

[F]

Could be a over $1,000.

[C]

Got a Gucci.

[B]

If she doesn't have that much money. If she doesn't have that much money, she's not staying in the hotel room. That's $300, $400 a night.

[G]

You think she's standing in my crib?

[E]

Oh, well, wait.

[A]

Is it. Is it your opinion that women at the bus stop. There's no such thing as good at a bus stop?

[B]

What's bus sucking on that lollipop?

[A]

[D]

[A]

Yeah, the Q3 back in the day. You know what I mean? What say you?

[C]

I don't know if girls were good coochie here at the bus stop, but I will say when I take out my trash, it echoes in my head that Corny is in my head.

[A]

That's true, that's true. They don't take their own garbage. They don't take their own garbage.

[C]

Corn. Now I might as well do oil change.

[B]

Sparks get under there.

[A]

[A]

Get a wrench, get a wrench.

[A]

Train station.

[C]

[A]

I'm take your word how I'm know a lift account.

[G]

The train station and the trains is different. Washington Heights.

[E]

The trains and buses is different.

[A]

Yeah.

[G]

Firing the trains, boy.

[C]

Yes, this firing the train bus is shitty bus.

[G]

They got some fire.

[A]

If you saw, if you saw a. If you saw fire on the train like you. You would speak to them on the train like you would try to bag.

[G]

You got to wait till they get out.

[A]

Depending on what's true,

[G]

[C]

We both want to bus. I wish you would say something to me.

[F]

You crazy? That New Jersey Transit got CEOs on

No, subway got joints on it.

[E]

This is some regional. The New York subway got everybody on it. In Philadelphia, if you on the Broad street subway, which is subway not so good. Not so good if you on the bus. It's a rap.

[G]

There's no fly joints on there.

[F]

New York is a different.

[E]

Middle class people take the training in New York, middle class people don't really.

[B]

Rich people take the train.

[A]

Rich people.

[E]

Rich people take the train. And D.C. yeah, it's not like that.

[C]

Not like that in Philly.

[A]

No, we get it about Philly. Like Philly is its own little dirty place. Philly is because Zaire walked into. And that's too much Philly.

[C]

It's too much North Philly in this. That's why y' all gotta make it clear we north Philly.

[A]

It's a Different Pensacola.

[C]

That's why y' all not safe. Because we nor Philly. You better keep it.

[A]

It's funny. I never felt safer. That's why I never felt super comfy.

[F]

That north with the F. Philly with another F box.

[A]

Keep that dusty ass.

[C]

That hurt.

[A]

You know it ain't no joints out there. They still holding on to Amber Rose. Amber's from Philly, girl. That was 94.

[D]

Jill Scott.

[A]

Look, Jill Scott is the queen up here. So she's out of it. She's out.

[C]

And guess where Jill's from. North.

[A]

Jill Scott is an exception. Exception to all rules. Look, they still hold on to Eve. Eve moved to London anyway.

[B]

She got British accent down there.

[A]

Even London with some rich white salute to Eve.

[G]

We love you.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Let's see, what else is important? Unimportant.

[E]

Breaking news for the incel community.

[A]

It's crazy.

[E]

Aisha Curry, she didn't apologize, but she acknowledged that she was being disrespected. Disrespectful to Steph Curry when she said allegedly, that he wasn't her type.

[C]

Oh, girl, please.

[E]

This is big. She was on. She was on the Obama's podcast.

[C]

Oh, please.

[B]

And Michelle, this is like a whole list of that.

[E]

I think it was important because he

[A]

be cutting me off to say this stupid, too.

[B]

Obama's just as much as Curry been

[E]

getting dragged for a decade for being a terrible, disrespectful wife. I think we could at least shout out the fact that she tried to give some of it back and say I came off disrespectful to Steph. And Steph laughed, but was kind of like, yeah, you fucked that one up. I just thought it was important to acknowledge that.

[A]

Seemed like he had a talk with her about that. Yeah.

[E]

So I just wanted to salute her for it.

[B]

Salute, sure.

[A]

Salute. Aisha Curry.

[B]

Obama's.

[A]

And next time you do one of them daytime talk shows and one of these buff, naked niggas walk out the back, don't gesture like you're gonna take your wedding ring off. And nobody will say anything just like that.

[G]

Because we can't do.

[A]

If my wife do some like that. That's another thing about marriage, yo. Then you're married. Then your wife would do.

[E]

She's like, girl, that really bother you?

[G]

Yes.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

It's crazy.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

It's not.

[G]

Have you lost your mind? And keep getting real. Play with me.

[A]

Yes. Yes.

[G]

I'm not gonna do that to you. I'm not gonna go outside.

[A]

No, I would. I would do it. That's a Joke, Mark. I'm being performative. I wouldn't do that. But that would truly bother me. Why wouldn't that bother you?

[E]

Because I would make the same joke. And to me, it's all about respecting your partner and what y' all into.

[A]

I'm gonna point it out.

[C]

And your wife have great senses of humor, though.

[E]

Yeah. So we joke like that. Like, I would absolutely joke. I mean, I joke about my wife getting y' all turned into abducted by aliens before us getting hit by a bus. Right? And we would joke about, like, there's certain jokes we would make, and I think it has to be even on both sides. Now, if y' all don't play like that, then don't play like that.

[C]

But unless you can tell, you can't beat your wife.

[E]

So it's probably true.

[G]

But.

[A]

And we shouldn't hit any woman, Mona.

[E]

Right?

[D]

Disclaimer.

[A]

Because you'll be up here a couple. You be up here a couple times.

[C]

I mean, sometimes I ain't gonna crack that.

[A]

Trying to get sponsors. Trying to get sponsors.

[E]

I just think people be too serious about stuff, man. It was clear to me that Aisha Curry was just joking because she was on a, she was hosting a talk show.

[A]

Joke. Don't, don't joke about no wedding ring for me.

[E]

People's relationships. But I, I, I didn't bug out about it. And I don't know if he gave a. I don't know. He could have, I don't know. I don't assume he did. Cuz I know I wouldn't trip if my wife was doing that.

[A]

How, how, how often? Not your wife, but how often would she be able to make that joke? Once a month, bi weekly? Like, is that just a joke that's happening? Well, who the you think I am?

[C]

It depends on, on a relationship in the husband or the spouse. At the end of the day, if y' all play like that. Cool. I think what makes the difference is you're doing it on national television.

[A]

You can't do a public, so people

[C]

see you do it. You know what I mean? So he might not give a. But then after people trolling for a month and say, yeah, your wife don't give a about you, then it might affect y'.

[F]

All.

[C]

And me and my man don't argue, don't fuss, don't cuss at each other, none of that. I simply tell him to shut the up and he says, yes, my queen, whatever you say.

[E]

The is that me and my man

[C]

don't argue at all, y'.

[B]

All.

[C]

I simply Tell him shut the up. And he be like, yes, ma', am. This girl and her boyfriend did it. And he said, happy life, happy wife.

[A]

Why you can't deal with the program?

[E]

Can't

[A]

get with the program.

[E]

I am getting with the program.

[A]

Redo it.

[C]

He said redo it.

[F]

He I wrote the program.

[A]

She's getting her ass.

[C]

He said redo it.

[F]

I wrote the program.

[C]

Redo it.

[F]

Yo, yo. I think the thing with her, certain

[A]

jokes ain't all right with me. I ain't going to lie.

[F]

And it. She's been on a three year run, four year run of saying things longer

[B]

than that six year run.

[F]

I'm just giving you saying things that have been questionable in the media. So if this is a one off, cool. If you and your dude play like that, cool. But sometimes you gotta read the room and adjust accordingly.

[B]

And so that's what she did with your bubbles.

[E]

That's what I felt like she did.

[A]

Cause let me ask you something, Mark. You say if you and your. You say but me too. But to that point, you don't see Steph play like that publicly.

[E]

I don't see Steph in those contexts. I also think it's different.

[A]

You've never seen Steph on a broadcast. You've never seen Steph do it.

[D]

Interview.

[A]

You've seen Steph do me.

[E]

I mean, you might be right. I'm saying, I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm saying, I don't know. I haven't seen him in that context. I've never seen him like on like the equivalent of.

[A]

Well, that's what I'm asking you. If you and your wife have a certain way that y' all play indoors, is it just understood that that could transfer to the public?

[E]

No, I think, I think indoors, out of doors.

[F]

Totally different.

[E]

Totally different. Just jokes I would make in the house that I wouldn't make out of the house. But also vice versa. Sometime I. Because sometimes you're more performative for the. If you're hosting a show together, like in this thing together, check your patreon. Or sometimes in the house, you know, y' all might have jokes that go way further than you will allow in public. It just depends on how people, how people see things. You know what I mean? Typically a celebrity man, basketball player or football player or whatever, man, period. Yeah. Has a lot of options. And the assumption is he's fucking everybody. So joking that you're fucking everybody might not be the joke to make. I think I do think we have to account for like power in Relationships. Like, I think if, you know, people don't joke, people don't expect Ayesha Curry, the Christian so called good girl from the theater club, to make a joke about a Chippendales dancer. That's what makes it a good joke to me. Steph said, oh, I'll go fuck Rihanna. That ain't a good joke. Like, he might go fuck Rihanna. Let me or whoever before Rihanna was with somebody. I just mean hypothetically. That's just my go to.

[A]

I understand what you're saying.

[E]

I made that joke with my wife on the show. That's what I'm saying.

[A]

Like, come on, yo, we interview ASAP up here.

[E]

It just shout out to asap. No disrespect to asap.

[C]

Mark got a thing for Rihanna.

[A]

Men have a thing. Men have a thing for Rihanna.

[E]

What?

[A]

This is the men's view, right?

[E]

And I make jokes up here that I wouldn't make nowhere else. That's what I'm saying. I think it just depends on the relationship and the situation. But I don't think whatever's private can just go public.

[F]

Let me ask you, right? Let's just say your wife was mad liberal with jokes.

[E]

Yeah, right. Which she's not.

[F]

No, no. I'm just saying let's hypothetically. And then from 2017 to 2025, you've taken this shot, and it drew public attention. You've taken this shot, it drew public attention. You took this shot. It drew public attention and scrutiny at some point, as the husband, even if your wife is cool with it, because it keeps becoming a topic. And now people starting to look at your husband like, yo, he a ass nigga.

[G]

Yeah.

[F]

I think that she should fall back, simmer down some, right? Jada Pinkett is out on some new. And they going on her because she says this about, yo, do y' all live together? And. And she was like, I mean, at some point in time, we will again,

[C]

Jada don't give a.

[F]

She be lighting this nigga's ass up. So my thing is even at

[A]

Right.

[G]

I don't like that.

[D]

Hell no, man structure thing because it makes the man look real milk toast.

[A]

Like, yeah, yeah, but some dudes don't care.

[F]

But that's my point, though. But if you care about him and you care about him, again, even if Will Smith don't give a. But if you care about him, then you should care about the public Persona of your dude.

[G]

A lot of these.

[E]

I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just saying that I'll give you a perfect Example after I said that about like my wife not taking my name every, every, every time I post something like, you ass, you don't want your wife, your wife ain't taking it in, blah, blah, blah. And so my wife, when we put clips up sometimes of our podcast and this thing together on Patreon, sometimes she, she'll say, I don't want to put that out because it's gonna make you look bad. Or I don't want to say this thing because I don't, I carry. And I'll be like, no, no, I'm with you. But I'll be like, put it out anyway because I don't care.

[A]

Because they've been calling me a bitch

[E]

ass nigga, man, since day one. So, so, but also like, if you're gonna take a certain position or have a certain polit or just care about your relationship in a certain way, there's certain things you gonna allow, certain things you're not. And it's up to each individual person. I don't think that makes the person a bitch ass nigga. Certainly don't make me one. Cause I'm not. But it's about what works for your relationship.

[G]

I feel like people are changing the. I feel like people just changing the structure, how, you know, how things work though. People's comfortabilities, the structure changing.

[F]

Would you feel that if the shoe was reversed?

[A]

I have a second question.

[F]

I do.

[E]

Wait, what do you tell me what you mean? I think I thought I did, but I wanna.

[F]

Because oftentimes times, especially who you are, you stand on the side of women's rights. Just that's for lack of a better

[B]

term, he's a feminist.

[F]

So if the man.

[E]

No, no, listen, listen, listen.

[A]

Because that's the clean word for what we want to say.

[D]

Susan B. Anthony or something.

[A]

He is.

[E]

Susan B. Anthony fought for women's suffrage. You don't think women should vote?

[D]

Of course.

[E]

I think crowning the dude for being feminist is like clowning a black, a white person for being anti racist. I just think it's a crazy. Take the position.

[A]

Oh, now he's sensitive about it.

[E]

I'm just disagreeing with him. You think, you think women should be feminist?

[D]

No, it's just a label that is more aligned with the women.

[A]

That's right.

[E]

Because we live in a society that doesn't support women.

[F]

Words mean things.

[D]

I'm just saying if you're a feminist, like, if it's like a.

[E]

What's a feminist?

[D]

A person that supports women's rights and

[E]

you're Laughing at me for supporting because the way.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Yes. Yeah, it's just the label.

[D]

We need to rebrand the term for men. That's all. I don't know what it looks like, but maybe it needs a rebrand.

[A]

Why?

[D]

Why not?

[A]

Because it shouldn't be.

[E]

Because it means support women's rights.

[F]

Because it has the word feminine.

[D]

So what?

[C]

Because it's women that you're supporting.

[D]

I know, but it just sounds crazy right now. It sounds crazy.

[A]

No, you don't.

[D]

You're a femme menace. Like, no, I'm not. I support women. I don't know.

[E]

So does it sound crazy for a white person to be pro black because they're not black?

[A]

All he's saying.

[E]

Let him respond.

[D]

No, I don't. It's false equivalency. All I'm saying is a false equivalency. I'm just saying the word feminist sounds crazy when you label it on a man.

[E]

Because we're not women. Exactly.

[F]

We're not.

[E]

So then why is it okay to be pro black as a white person

[A]

if you're not black?

[D]

I'm just saying that we need to find another word for men that support women.

[E]

Feminism sounds crazy. Here's what I'm saying in response. The idea that a man supporting a feminine. A woman or a man having a label that has woman in it. The idea that that sounds crazy to you is exactly why we need words like feminism. It suggests that anything associated with women shouldn't be attached to men. That's what it means, and that's what it says.

[G]

Changing what he's saying.

[E]

I'm not changing what he's saying. He said it sounds crazy for a man to be associated with the word fem.

[G]

That's what he said.

[E]

Yes, to be supportive.

[G]

But that doesn't mean he doesn't support the women.

[D]

I'm not.

[F]

He didn't say that.

[A]

I'm saying that.

[E]

He's saying.

[G]

He makes it very clear.

[C]

That's not what he said.

[E]

What?

[G]

Marcus.

[E]

Let me. Let me restate it again.

[G]

You my man, bro.

[E]

Let me restate it. Let me restate what I'm saying, Marcus.

[A]

Passion coming from you. Let me. Let him. Let them fight.

[E]

What? What B. Dot said. If I understand you correctly, and I'm responding to it, he supports women. That's not in dispute here. He's saying we need to rebrand the title because it sounds crazy for a man to identify as a. As a feminine feminist because it attaches man to the word.

[A]

Why is that just not a cool, funny point?

[E]

The idea That a man is uncomfortable being attached to femme when it's I'm feminist, I'm pro woman is itself part of the problem. In the same way that if I. If a white person said, hey, I'm pro black and I don't want to be associated with the word black, let's have a different name for it. So I have to be tied to the word black. You say it's a false equivalent. I'm saying it's not.

[F]

You'll be called an ally.

[C]

It's the same thing.

[D]

What happens? You'll be an ally.

[E]

Yes. Feminists are. Feminists are allies.

[D]

But words mean things. So I'm just saying the word feminist.

[E]

Words mean things. If I'm.

[D]

No, because if you attribute the word fem to me, it sounds feminine.

[C]

No. What is it?

[E]

What's wrong with being feminine?

[C]

What about the.

[A]

No, no, no. We done with

[E]

ignoring the second half

[F]

of the word

[E]

means supporter of. Right. I made filming this. Sign language distinguish us from the.

[D]

I feel like I go change a tire to do something masculine.

[C]

I like.

[A]

Yo, yo. Why are you trying to troll my brother? You are. Why are you trolling Mark?

[D]

No, I'm just saying that happens up.

[E]

He's taking a position. I think a lot of people watch. It takes out. Hopefully we got an education out of it.

[G]

And you think, you try. You're right. You're right. You're right now. Cuz I understand. I understand what he's saying. I understand what he's saying. And I feel like I understand what Mark is saying as well. Mark slips that in a lot and makes it seem like if you stand on the opposite side of you want to be manly, you looked at as

[A]

wrong in Mark is with none of the men.

[E]

I didn't say that.

[G]

But it comes off like that.

[E]

This just means being a supporter. I said nothing about that. I want to be a supporter of women. That's all I'm saying.

[G]

Hope dealer

[E]

disagree is fine.

[A]

We do.

[G]

And you talk through that. Mark, you passionate. He talk to the whole Nori shout to Nori. But listen,

[A]

he's trying to deal beat up some old people.

[G]

He was not playing.

[A]

Look at Mark. He don't play when it come to that. No, he don't play.

[E]

People's rights.

[G]

Yeah, no, see, look, we're not questioning people's rights. You're right.

[B]

I'm with you, Mark. I'm a feminist.

[G]

Shut your ass up, man.

[A]

God damn it.

[G]

Parking Mark. Like we got you. We got.

[A]

Well, instead of being so divisive, of

[B]

course he's A feminist, too.

[C]

Get the up.

[G]

Bro, you crazy. You trying to switch up the line

[H]

that they said about your.

[G]

The beginning of this, Right? Yeah, I get it.

[B]

Feminist just means to have equal rights.

[E]

Equal rights. Yeah. I don't get why this is so crazy.

[B]

It's not that crazy.

[A]

But anyway, y' all made it crazy. All B was saying is it could use another word, too.

[E]

You know, it's like, that's not all he said. That's all I heard from was playing.

[A]

Don't worry. I got a trick for you.

[E]

It's a good song.

[G]

Yo,

[E]

Gang. Signs, like a sign language, distinguish us from the office.

[A]

All right. Shot o'. Clock.

[G]

Yep.

[B]

It's time.

[A]

I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. All right. Paradise time.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Come on, Starbucks. Paradise time. It's paradise time. Sorry I gave you all a week. Episode 7 Season 2 There's only one episode left. Yeah. Next episode episode is the season finale. Yeah, y' all can take that Philly in all the room, man.

[B]

Spoiler alerts.

[A]

Spoiler alerts are happening. Spoiler alerts are happening. Okay.

[B]

Hey, we can hear y'.

[E]

All.

[A]

I can hear y'. All. Yo, yo, feminists. I can hear y' all in the kitchen.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Okay. I have many, many, many, many, many, many, many thoughts on this. Again, spoiler alerts. Incoming. I can still. Mona. Your boys. Xavier should have killed Greg

[B]

for sure.

[A]

I was.

[G]

I was like, who's Greg?

[F]

The post office.

[A]

Yeah, Xavier should have killed Greg. Or Craig. I might be his name. I wouldn't give a.

[F]

If his name was Chris Fertilizer, he

[A]

should have been dead a million times. A million times older.

[B]

I don't understand why they split like, you blew me up. No, you. You're done.

[A]

He should have been so dead that even when the wife was hugging him and he had the scope on, I thought he was still going to try to get shot.

[B]

Now you can't get no wifey here.

[F]

No. What? I thought. I thought he was going to stab the wife. I thought he was going to stab the wife. I thought. Because Paradise.

[A]

And that would have been good for him.

[E]

Y.

[A]

And that would have been good for Sterling K. Brown.

[F]

Paradise has taken some turns that were mad.

[A]

Yeah, Randall, everything but Xavier paradise is

[F]

taking some unexpected turns. I think that's why we like it, because it's not predictable. I thought he was gonna stab the wife, and I was gonna be like, you stupid.

[A]

Good for you. That have been good for the wife.

[F]

No.

[A]

Well, that have been good for the wife and the Husband. Grand opening, grand closing.

[B]

I don't understand why she did the shit inside the. Inside the building. Like, we could do this outside. We ain't doing nothing.

[F]

She know she owned that.

[B]

That's true.

[F]

You own.

[G]

Also.

[A]

I don't believe Jane to be dead.

[F]

I thought about that.

[G]

Yeah.

[F]

I thought. I thought they were gonna have her eyes open up.

[A]

She too tough.

[F]

Yeah, she is.

[A]

She. She too tough for the therapist girl to go in there. Yeah, the old shower. I'm out. The shower still running. That's not gonna work on James.

[F]

I thought that too. I thought that until the end when they just show her and it went off like that, I'm like, poke that again.

[B]

That's a very unceremoniously way for her to go. You know what I mean? Like, that was not.

[A]

She's too important of a character in this show for that to be the way.

[F]

They can't, but they can't. It would be real hard for them to have Xavier coming back to the compound and Jane still be alive. Because remember, the lie was that Xavier

[E]

killed the people, right?

[F]

And they all agreed on that lie. So now Xavier comes back, Jane's still alive. The whole entire community is in an uproar now because we don't know who to believe. We got to get her out of here. So it's fitting.

[A]

That's valid.

[D]

It's fitting.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Also, do we think the son is the son?

[A]

Yes. That was my tax. Dylan, right? Yeah. Y. He's the son. He's her son.

[F]

Yo, he said this about when they were together. He said something about

[A]

they had the

[B]

nosebleed that was the. Tying the tie.

[F]

He said some about dinosaurs or some. That was like one of their little cues for when he was young.

[E]

Like that.

[F]

That was a telltale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was one of the telltales.

[A]

But he's the son. And Alex I believe to be the system.

[B]

I think so.

[F]

I think Alex is AI.

[B]

I think it's a thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

I think it's AI.

[A]

Yeah. So we all agree there. Damn. What was I about to say that I just forgot about? What did you say before? Just now?

[B]

The nosebleed.

[A]

The nosebleed. Because it's not just Sinatra and Xavier getting. Getting nosebleeds, right?

[E]

No.

[F]

The sun got a nosebleed, walked out the door.

[A]

Yeah, man. People are getting. No, so what is the nosebleed? That's the only thing that I'm. I'm totally stumped about.

[B]

Probably some nuclear. They probably all about to die of some nuclear fallout. You can't Just go. Like you can't go to Chernobyl still because it's a radiation. You can't be around that kind of radiation.

[A]

But were the people.

[F]

But were the people in the.

[A]

So why is Dylan's nose.

[F]

He's outside, but the other people aren't. So that's why I would agree with you. But Xavier and shorty not.

[B]

Yeah, okay.

[F]

You get what I'm saying? So I don't see the whole community's nose bleeding.

[A]

Maybe.

[B]

The thing is they weren't safe down there. No way.

[F]

But then the rest of the community would be still having those symptoms.

[A]

Right?

[F]

You get what I'm saying? Like it wouldn't just be exclusive to Xavier.

[B]

Yeah, I think it could be like that. The over overarching theme is if it gets this bad where nuclear war happens, it don't matter if you Underground, above ground, outside, inside, in the Elvis theater, you're. It's.

[A]

It's over for you also. And I say this in closing so we can all enjoy the. The season finale next week together like a family or. Totally awesome that. Xavier was excited accepting of the wife's white baby.

[B]

Mm. You think it's gonna go the other way?

[A]

He handled that with class and grace.

[B]

Cause I got my own.

[A]

And announced.

[F]

Hey, we got a lot to talk about.

[A]

We have a lot to catch up on. We got a lot to talk about. We have a stop to make. I have a white baby myself. That was really honorable and really noble and would've continued to be noble. So I was sitting there there waiting for him to tell her that he the therapist.

[F]

Why would he do that?

[A]

Why would he not? We taking a long walk. We got a lot to catch up on.

[F]

We'll catch up on that when we get to paradise.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Her.

[A]

You don't think.

[D]

Yeah, I telling you about that badass fine ass.

[A]

You got to tell her.

[F]

He got to tell her.

[A]

You got to tell her.

[F]

No, he has to tell her. When? When I say see her when she comes and said she might be dead

[B]

by the time you get back.

[G]

Wow.

[A]

Wild part. Hey, so if so if the therapist dies, you don't have to tell her.

[B]

Not if so.

[F]

Mom's the word.

[B]

It's between me and her.

[F]

What?

[A]

I don't even know no therapist.

[F]

You know how I feel about therapy, baby. All right, you crazy.

[A]

Well, there you have it again. Paradise.

[E]

Pardon me?

[A]

Paradise. Paradise. SEASON FINALE Monday I don't love this season.

[G]

You know what?

[F]

I'm on the fence.

[E]

Is it better than you thought before? Because you. When you started no.

[A]

No.

[E]

You feel the same.

[A]

No. Episode seven was great. This is what I noticed about me. I enjoy when they get back to any storyline from last year. So Sinatra, Jane, the. The other white boy killer bodyguard. Any of lasty. The. The son is trying to escape the. The security. The president's security. That's helped anything from. From last season. I'm cool. Got you all that finding each other. I just wasn't with the new season

[F]

story where they lose me is dragged

[B]

it in my opinion.

[A]

Yeah, that's it.

[F]

They lose me when start to be unrealistic. And so you have Jane. She cuts the president. The president's throat.

[E]

Cool.

[G]

Merciless.

[A]

She done killed a few and don't nobody know what they get the fuck out of. But. No but look.

[F]

But then you just choke out the black. Black lady. She could have killed a black lady and said, yo, I caught her in the act and got away with it. You don't leave the. The black lady to survive to tell her story. That's not how killers work. You get what I'm saying? She came up behind her. She choked her out and then they locked her up. It's like no kill that too. So then you got your story and nobody could ever be none the wiser.

[E]

Word. I get that. That makes sense to me.

[G]

I'm only.

[E]

I'm still on season one early. Yeah.

[F]

Like I paused.

[E]

Caused it.

[B]

But I still enjoy the show. I think.

[F]

Yeah.

[B]

They're dragging the second season a little bit.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

So you don't want a season three.

[B]

No, I do.

[F]

I do.

[B]

Because it's supposedly the last season.

[F]

You gotta have closure.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

You gotta exposure.

[E]

Gotcha. I don't know enough because when Joe was talking about a couple. I guess a couple weeks ago now, he was saying it might have been one of the greatest drop offs from season one.

[B]

Nah, I wouldn't go that far. I wouldn't go. I'm still entertained. I'm still entertained.

[A]

Entertained.

[B]

It's not as good as season one by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still good and I'm hopeful that they'll take it somewhere.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Not as good as giggly.

[B]

There's been worse falls.

[E]

It took me a second.

[A]

That's what I meant.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Nice. It's a fall off. I think that the writers got lazy.

[B]

I think they just tried.

[E]

They tried too much.

[B]

They dragged it. They dragged it. They took way too long to get some out the way that we don't really give a about.

[F]

Yeah, I agree with that.

[B]

Sometimes backstory is dope. Sometimes it's all right, dog. Like, let's get back to the main story.

[F]

Dtf.

[A]

DTF is great still.

[B]

Yeah, it's still great.

[A]

All the shows I'm watching are great. Dtf. Imperfect Women.

[B]

That one's a little.

[F]

I haven't watched it yet.

[B]

That's a messy.

[A]

I know. I don't want to spoil. That's the one. I really want to come in some bird, but I'll at least give it a few more. More weeks. But I' ma kill Kerry Washington.

[B]

Yeah, her cry faces.

[A]

Yo, we didn't talk about Drew Ski's Bounce Back skit.

[B]

Oh, yeah, that was good.

[A]

I'm calling it Bounce Back Skit because he did get a lot of flack for his last the Soul Train one. People didn't love. People didn't love the Soul Train one.

[F]

What you think you're gonna get for this?

[D]

I don't think he's good.

[A]

No, no, no, no, no. They were canning it. They was.

[E]

Gotcha.

[A]

They were saying it's bad. Like, we just don't love this.

[E]

They weren't offended. They didn't like it.

[A]

This one, he's doing the concert. Conservative white woman. People say that he's emulating Charlie Kirk's wife. Charlie Kirk's wife and that other one and that other girl.

[B]

Yeah, they all kind of fit the

[A]

same issue, the same thing.

[C]

Did y' all hear that? Charlie Kirk's wife said that. I think that was. Charlie Kirk's wife said that she was gearing, getting her people geared up to get some costumes made.

[A]

Yep.

[C]

So she going back.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

She said, time to turn it up.

[A]

Bad idea.

[C]

They going to do something.

[E]

Bad idea for Green Idea.

[A]

Bad idea idea for.

[E]

For her.

[F]

I disagree.

[C]

Oh, not right now.

[A]

I think blackface.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

I'm looking forward to it.

[C]

People would love it. Right now. You're not getting canceled for doing nothing like that. Right now. You can do like. They eat. It's the only time they would eat it.

[A]

What did you guys think of the Drew Ski skit? The new one?

[F]

This one, I think. I think it was funny in the beginning. Yeah, it was funny in the beginning. When he first came out, it was hilarious. And then he dragged it a little too. Too much. He, like, the mid to the end wasn't.

[B]

There wasn't a great payoff at the end, but it was. It was still funny.

[F]

It was funny in the beginning. It was amazing in the beginning. I think he just dragged it a little.

[E]

He got such a high bar, you know, with the mega church.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

All the Other stuff, it's a high bar.

[A]

That megachurch. That was some of the funniest stuff I've seen in a long time. It's classic, this one. I agree with y'. All. I mean, I laughed when he first came out because he looks like a funny white girl.

[B]

He's a very ugly white girl.

[A]

Like a white girl with a big pot, big ass, pie face, a little white blazer and pants with the black underneath. Like, it was funny, but the more I watched, it was just like, oh, okay. You know, it's just that. So what I think is. And I don't want to lose. I don't want to. I don't want to lose anybody with this. I just think if you're doing blackface or white face, it gotta be funny, funny.

[F]

You're right.

[A]

Like, most of the white people that have done blackface, but none of that was funny.

[D]

Tric Tropic Thunder.

[A]

That was funny.

[F]

That was funny.

[A]

That was funny. That was funny. That was funny.

[B]

And that was like. Also, they're acknowledging that it was up that he was doing it.

[C]

The joke.

[B]

It wasn't like trying to. That was a joke kind of, right?

[C]

That was a joke.

[A]

White Dave Chappelle doing.

[B]

That was funny.

[A]

That. That was hilar. Yeah.

[B]

No, the announcer dude.

[A]

No, I'm talking about Big Z. Black on the show from the day.

[B]

He wasn't in white face, he was

[G]

black, but he was acting like he was. He was black, but he was aligning with whites.

[B]

He was. It wasn't white face or black face.

[A]

Wait, he didn't have makeup on his face?

[B]

No, you're thinking of the announcer.

[C]

Big speed. Just an old black man.

[G]

He was blind.

[A]

I'm confused.

[G]

He was blind and thought he was

[B]

white when he did the announcer.

[A]

If it was white face. Yo, that's just hilarious.

[C]

I don't know if I divorced his

[G]

wife because she said.

[C]

She said you married a lover. Yeah, he divorced his wife because she was a lover. Pretty good Dave Chappelle to go, though.

[G]

That is crazy.

[C]

I think that. I don't know if I thought it was funny for real, or I just really enjoy making fun of Erica Kirk, you know what I mean? Because even when y' all talking about died off, I'm thinking it was funny the whole time, but I guess it was kind of corny and it. At the end. But he's played white girl so many times in his skits, he just never paints his body white. But he's done that a lot. Like Brusky gives that he hung with white People growing up. He gives like he a little suburban white boy.

[F]

He gives that the. Had the flats. That was leaner.

[C]

Yeah. The ballet son.

[F]

That was funny.

[C]

He really looked like a.

[F]

That was funny.

[A]

He did.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

The was knock needed.

[F]

He was funny.

[A]

That was funny.

[D]

So everybody gets it when he does his skits. Like we did the Asian nail tech.

[F]

Yeah, fam. That was classic.

[D]

But you don't have to do the. The prosthetics and the makeup, you know, I mean, if it's funny, it's funny. It cuts through. But this time I don't think he hit the mark.

[G]

You think it was just too long. It was just dragged on. When they first came out, they did the dance. He would have talked.

[A]

That was funny.

[C]

I think it was great. Especially with the other one being so big. I think this was pretty good to come after.

[A]

This one had like over a hundred million impressions and views in a matter of hours.

[G]

Yeah.

[A]

So, I mean, I get it just seems like a lot of focus on the white conservative and his lately. Like some of it seems like an agenda. Not. Not an agenda, because who cares if you attack them? Attack them. But it just seems like, you know, that anything said on that side gets attention from the politicians and just a certain level of. So some of it just seems like we looking for it rather than, all right, I'm trying to be funny all

[F]

the way through, but that might. That might be what he on.

[E]

That might.

[F]

Yeah, that might be what.

[A]

And I'm not mad at that.

[F]

And you. You said he got 100 and something million views in a couple hours. Hours.

[B]

Success.

[F]

You might not get that without the white eyes.

[A]

You're not gonna get it without.

[F]

That's what I'm saying. So them. I'm. I'm gonna excite, incite them, get my point across and get paid at the same time.

[A]

Got it?

[E]

I think so. That's what the right does all the time. They. They do that they know is gonna offend us. We pass the videos around and then they fundraise on our outrage facts.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

You know, that's all they do.

[C]

They don't have a lot of shit to pull.

[E]

I remember when George Bush, George W. Bush, announced an attack on affirmative action on Martin Luther King's birthday, knowing that we would get mad and knowing that Republican reaction would be. You know, it's an amazing tactic. Speaking of Republicans. Just want to sneak this in real fast.

[A]

I was about to say we didn't talk about Donald Trump.

[E]

Yeah, man. For the first time in over 100 years, Donald Trump will Be signing. There'll be a new signature on all American money just made. It will be Donald J. Trump.

[A]

Yo, this nigga different, bro.

[E]

He's on some other shit. There's no need for it.

[B]

So we're doing exactly what we just talked about.

[D]

Trump is a megalomaniac.

[E]

You wanna be the king, but I just want people to be aware of it, you know? Cause I think he did the rage bait for us. I think you're right.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

But I also think in a voting context, hopefully people will pay attention to this kind of stuff. I think it's illegal for presidents to put their own face on the money while they're sitting in office. It's a long standing rule because it gives the appearance of a monarchy. Yeah. So this is the closest you can come to doing that. So he's doing the most that's humanly possible right now while doing all these other things. Obviously that's going on right now. I'd love to hear more about the Epstein files from him. I'd love to see an end to the war. I mean, there's a lot of shit that could happen, but this is just, in some ways this is a distraction. And maybe Parks. The point is, is even more on point that I gave credit for. And I agree with you, which is it's. We'll be talking about him signing his money instead of talking about all these things.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

I think it's more narcissism. I think that's more of Trump's character trait and media secrecy than anything.

[B]

It's, it's, it's exactly this. Look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this.

[A]

Yeah, and rage bait.

[B]

Because then there's gonna be. Oh, this is not that big of a deal. Gives a what's on the one use mutc cash anyway. You know, it's all just propaganda to keep them in talking some Trump bucks.

[C]

You know what's up about that whole rage bait thing? Like, I am a sucker for that. Like I, I watch and I know it's supposed to make me mad and then I'm biting my lip.

[F]

All y' all do that, right?

[E]

Yeah, it's tough.

[C]

You fall for rage bait.

[A]

Do I what?

[C]

Fall for rage bait. No, I engaged in everything. Comment, message, curse they ass.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

How dare you.

[A]

I'm not gonna see nothing on the Internet that's gonna make me rageful, man.

[F]

I had a little 30 minute argument with a the other day. You ass.

[E]

Why that like, yo, for what?

[A]

No, I'm saying not why did you have the argument? But why do you do that with the guy?

[F]

If you catch me in the right day same.

[A]

It'd be a lot of right days for you.

[F]

Nah, no, no one. A couple months. Yo, you a trumper. You maga.

[E]

You ass.

[C]

You.

[F]

I'm like me.

[E]

You do it in your DMs. I never see. These are.

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

Oh, you go a lot, probably. That's smart. That's good, though.

[A]

Ass.

[E]

Because if you do it too public, that encourages more people to do it. You actually handle it.

[F]

Yeah, I'm maga. Me like, yo, my. You must not watch the show, bro.

[C]

I've called.

[A]

But why you gotta talk to people that don't know you? Like, he don't know you. He don't.

[B]

You have occasionally parroted some talking points of the Right up here accidentally, and that's where I'm sure his argument came from.

[G]

Yeah.

[C]

And that's where it's the rage bait.

[B]

It's falling for the rage bait thing again. It's, you know, they're trying to do this and this, and it's like same.

[A]

It be hard to acknowledge.

[C]

But the idea would be that you're a secret Trumper. Right.

[B]

I don't think that you're a Trumper,

[E]

by the way, just to be clear,

[F]

I despise Donald Trump.

[E]

The background context is somebody here voted for Trump.

[A]

So.

[G]

Yeah, no, the background I hear is the. That Mark made up a. Yeah, Mark.

[A]

Mark keeps saying that. Mark.

[E]

No, I swear on your.

[F]

Somebody on this case told you they voted for Donald Trump or somebody that frequents the bills.

[G]

Somebody that was here.

[A]

And if they told you that, why you ain't holding down? Why you keep bringing it up for months and months and months trying to incite some.

[E]

I don't want bot to be left out of the. The context.

[G]

That was somebody that was here, that

[F]

was a b dot wasn't here when you first.

[A]

Who. What?

[G]

Who.

[E]

Who used to work here?

[G]

Somebody that's currently working here.

[E]

Someone who's still currently employed.

[C]

It was me.

[B]

It's like a.

[D]

Who's done it?

[A]

You want.

[E]

Leave it alone.

[A]

There's no. There's no s in. It's just who done it?

[B]

Got it.

[A]

Who done it?

[B]

Who has done it?

[E]

When Joe is correcting your dog, see why you're not.

[A]

You can't come in our feminist club. I don't have nothing fancy. I don't have nothing. It's over.
