Any of them Redfin, Nigga, let him knock that thought right out of me.

[C]

Yeah,

[A]

the nice weather has made me stay in more.

[D]

Shit. Never that after this winter I'm outside and I'm not.

[A]

I'm not advocating for people to do that.

[C]

No.

[A]

It.

[C]

For me. It ain't nowhere to go, like. Cause now I gotta find a spot that I feel comfortable on a late night, just chilling out.

You walk right into that.

[C]

I'm not gonna hold you. Nah, I'm serious.

Like, it's tough now.

[B]

Now,

[A]

once they made the camera phone tricky.

[C]

Now.

[B]

Why are you saying that, though? It's because you. You're so popular.

[C]

No.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

No.

[D]

You can say yes.

[C]

I'm older, so I don't be in the hood. Hood. You know what I'm saying? Even though I'm comfortable in the audits, don't be wanting to be in there. So now I gotta find a spot that is teetering the lines.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

You know what I'm saying?

[A]

Come on. Why hospital you was born in.

[B]

And you don't drink. And you don't drink. Because I feel like once you get saucy, it don't really matter where the.

[E]

You. Right. That's what I'm saying.

[C]

Turn up on the hood spot when you saucy.

[A]

Right? Yeah.

[C]

Then you can walk outside, and then they could be like you walk into a bat. Well, that's the way you. You got accordingly.

[B]

I mean, it depends on the people. Hood spots are funner. That's just my personal.

[C]

I'm sure you just gotta move accordingly.

[B]

With that thing on. On me. You heard me. That is. That's fine. You know, it's all entertainment.

[E]

When you moving up this way?

[B]

Dead serious. A pistol on me if I'm in the spot. That is not a joke.

[C]

When you moving to New Jersey?

[B]

Why would the. Would I do that?

[E]

That's what I said till I did. I'm trying to tell you it's going to change your life.

[B]

I'm not moving to Jersey. Maybe New York. Why would not move.

[E]

Do not move to New York.

[D]

Move to New York. Never move to New York.

[E]

I'm trying to get parks to move to New Jersey.

[B]

Doorman from downstairs heard you.

[D]

The nicer it gets is the less inclined.

[E]

I'm moving to New Jersey. I thought I could twist your arm in the wintertime.

[D]

Yeah, wintertime, it's. It's a good sell.

[A]

You still right here in the summertime.

[B]

I'm sorry, New Jersey, but I've hated Jersey all my life. Now this part of Jersey is different. And y' all did teach me that. I was in East Philly and all that.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So I do have to get More acclimated. And I do. Like, now when I get off, I'll shop. I hang out like I try to, you know, and it is nice, but I feel like everybody look like me. They're pushing a stroller with a baby in it. That don't look like them. You know what I mean? Mean nannies. They get money.

[E]

You gotta be in the right part. You gotta be in the right part of Jersey.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what's nice? Hoboken. Hoboken is really nice.

[E]

Jersey City. All right. You. You. Jersey would be fly for you.

[B]

[A]

Take your phone out, record it out.

[C]

I'll slow it down to show you.

[B]

I am so disappointed that we haven't hung out yet.

[A]

No. All the niggas from my hood that I wouldn't want to see been failed. They dead.

[C]

Dead or fail, it's a difference.

[A]

Both.

[C]

If they fail, that mean they might still be around.

[E]

Oh, they around. They hungry.

[C]

Sitting on a stoop.

[A]

No, no. Sitting on a stoop waiting for you to pull up in the coop. No, the people I'm talking about, they don't have stoops anymore. Yeah, a stoop is a. Is a luxury improvement.

[B]

Do y' all go back to y' all hoods, though? For real?

[C]

Like, slide all the time. Huh?

[A]

Look at these dudes.

[B]

These two.

[C]

I'm always in my old hood.

[B]

Do you ever go back to your hood?

[E]

Sometimes. A lot of people. A lot of people moved out, so, like, the people I want to see ain't really there.

[B]

Like that. Not the same.

[E]

Not like that.

Are you weighing in on.

[B]

Not a big music guy.

[A]

See why you can't talk to Mark about nothing? Oh,

[D]

shadiest podcaster of all time.

[A]

Number one. He's number one by far. You're a piece of.

[E]

It was just a reason.

[A]

Such an innocent conversation into that.

[D]

Well, to be fair, you're number two because you started with this hospital.

[E]

I didn't even know he did an interview.

[C]

I didn't know he was born in the ghetto. The tough hospital. Yo, you a idiot, bro. Well, you thought I was born at some fly.

[E]

So you was born in D.C. did you just. Born in D.C. how long did you live there?

[C]

Until I was six.

[E]

Oh, okay. From D.C. okay.

[B]

What side of town you from? Southeast.

[C]

Southeast.

[B]

You. I just guessed, like, the hardest part.

[E]

So when did you move to Jersey?

[B]

Are you from Barry Farms, too?

[C]

No. Okay, that is different. I moved to my Ridge Road, Anacostia,

[B]

but it's still shout out to Southeast.

[C]

I lived in dc.

[A]

Answer, Mark, please.

[C]

You said, when the.

[E]

I move here, and then you moved to Jersey when I was 6. I don't know if you lived in Virginia, too.

[B]

No.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

I never lived in Virginia.

[D]

You did for a summer.

[C]

You said you would go to your family's houses in the summer.

[A]

Yo, who are you?

[C]

Where is your.

[A]

Who the are you? You can't.

[C]

Your pod is beats, bars, and bourbon. My brain is out.

[D]

That's a lot of bees.

[C]

I don't want to misrepresent my

[E]

[A]

What's that other beat? Give me the real reason why you called.

[C]

[B]

So, Joe, being that you don't miss anything, when you do watch us do other stuff, do you, like, just watch with pride? Like, look at my man.

[C]

No, he watches and critiques.

[E]

He's looking for ammo.

[C]

He's looking for.

[E]

That's it. He's not even critique. He looking for material.

[B]

Let the man answer.

[A]

Yes. I watch with pride as I look for ammo.

[C]

Yeah, he couldn't get it out.

[E]

He couldn't even get that until I got stuck. Right.

[A]

I support y' all all. I support y' all on other platforms. So I'm looking how much. And I'm fans of y', all. You guys's.

[D]

Don't say it in that voice.

[E]

Ever.

[D]

The least sincere.

[E]

That's worse than my sincere voice.

[C]

I'm just waiting for the punchline.

[A]

It's coming. That's it.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

All right. Yeah, I believe them.

[E]

But the podcast went well?

[C]

Yeah. Yeah, it was dope.

[E]

How long was it?

[C]

What about after? It was short. It was. It was. You said what?

[A]

No answer? I'll get to me.

[C]

I hear your question.

[A]

I'm gonna answer. I'm gonna ask you.

[E]

I was just holding the podcast.

[C]

No, it wasn't long because.

[D]

Good things to do.

[C]

No, the. The. The. My that run the show, they couldn't all get. Get out. It was Easter Sunday, and I was. You know, I was quick. I was leaving that day, so I came through and did the show.

[D]

You had to go to church, huh? You had to go to church.

[C]

No. Had kids, so they was with their kids. You know what I'm saying? So I came through, and me and one of my niggas did it, and, like, almost like a preview, and we got out of it.

[E]

Oh, I'mma make sure I watch it. I watch everything, too. No. Or my mom.

[A]

No.

[C]

Yo, you're an idiot.

[A]

Anyway, come on. What would y' all like to talk about?

[C]

Come on.

[A]

Y' all want to talk about. The police came and got David.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah, they got.

[A]

The police came and got David first. I want to give the police a round of applause.

[D]

I don't.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[A]

Wow. Y' all get the award for the slowest possible arrest there could ever be. Y' all get the award for the duh. The duh arrest. What the fuck? Were you guys. Were you guys walking? Said we not using cars for this investigation. We walking everywhere. Like, what? You niggas had fucking. The weighted vest on, waiting for him

[B]

to run or what?

[A]

You niggas was in an escape room chilling. What was going on?

[C]

Nah, I looked at that totally different. Like, again, because they said the decomposition of the body was so bad, they can't tell exactly when she was murdered. So if we don't know the exact date. And homeboy was overseas for some time. Yeah, he's touring. Like, we gotta make sure all our ducks are in a row before we go get this nigga or he gonna beat it.

[A]

I done got pulled over and told the officer I paid the child support, had the child support receipt, had a picture of my beard, him with the money in our hand.

[E]

And he's still.

[A]

And he still took my ass to Jeff. So we don't have a record. We don't have a record of that, fam. The Is a. Is. Is body dust in the trunk of the Camry. What. What kind of car was it? I don't want to on the camera. It's body dust in the back of the Tesla. And you know how I feel about them Tesla drivers. Anyway, you know the ghost of Elon Musk and evilness is already in there. Rest in peace to select. Yeah, yeah, but that's enough. There's body dust in the trunk. You're coming in. We're taking you. And you're gonna sit right here until we investigate.

[E]

You know why they don't do that?

[A]

Yeah, because they get out in 72 hours if you can't hold them, yada yada.

[E]

That's true.

[C]

If you something up during the investigation or any of that preliminary, he walks, it could come back.

[E]

But I'm not even talking about that. There's another reason. The other reason is. Is people who commit these kinds of crimes, when they do it really well and leave their hands clean, a lot of times they end up. If they think they're not under investigation

[C]

anymore, they get sloppy.

[E]

They get sloppy and they start going back to the crime. They start making phone calls. They start doing things that allow them to collect more evidence. David thought for a minute that he wasn't a person of interest because they publicly said he's not a person of interest.

[D]

I don't think he thought that.

[A]

Mark Rope ever thought that.

[E]

I'm trying to tell you people. People get arrogant when they think they have the perfect crime.

[C]

They got away with it.

[E]

They think they got away with it.

[A]

What about this crime? That's the second time you said that. What about this crime gives perfect crime.

[E]

Forget about the fact that we all know he did it allegedly. It's the fact that there might not be any physical evidence tying him just because you got him in the trunk. If she's in my trunk and I'm in Germany, I could beat that. You know what I mean? And so he probably felt like maybe he didn't physically do the killing. We don't know. So. So the lack of physical evidence is the thing that they like. We don't have a tight case. And so he's like, fuck this. I got this. Then you start talking to people. You start saying shit. They're looking for witnesses will go back

[B]

to the crime scene and try to fix shit. That's true.

[E]

He ain't right in the head.

[C]

So think about this.

[A]

I don't want to use. I don't want to use all of that logic in my shit.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Not just that.

[C]

You are a black man in America. A girl was found in your trunk. I don't give a fuck if I'm 85 years old. I still have an.

[A]

And you made a song that said. Said I'm gonna kill her and put her in the trunk. And then you made another song that said, I don't want to hear this from this. Hey, hey. Then I'm talking to the crooked cops. Then I'm talking to the Vic Mackies.

[C]

And you can't say that we don't. With the lyrics being used against.

[B]

Right on top of the fact that I feel like if you. You. You think like, damn, I might get away with okay. The body been there as long as decoupling, folks. These get on TV and say he's not a person interest. Yes.

[C]

They do that to Disarm you.

[E]

Right.

[B]

And it works.

[E]

Yes.

[D]

But why would you want to give someone an extra year to bleach the out of their crib?

[C]

No, because then when you go bleach it, we're gonna come because we already

[B]

knew what it was.

[C]

I don't think that that never put his guard down for a second. I don't think. How could you? My.

[E]

Then you ain't losing then. You don't lose nothing any.

[B]

Young, ain't he? Young?

[D]

Yeah, he's 21.

[E]

21. When they kick your door and the whole thing smell like chloride rocks.

[C]

Then I got you.

[E]

That's the thing. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you.

[C]

I don't ever think that that allowed him to let his guard down. If he got any sense out of here. I'm always gonna think I'm a suspect of a girl being found in my trunk.

[E]

Especially if I'm done.

[C]

If I did it, if I did it or I didn't do it, I'm never gonna not think I'm not a suspect.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Out of here. Black me.

[A]

I'm trying to find a note from his lawyer.

[D]

His lawyer saying he didn't do it.

[C]

I don't want to convict the boy.

[B]

That must be hard to watch.

[A]

David's attorneys, Bleer Burke, Marilyn Badarsky and Regina Peter issued a statement. Let us be clear. The actual evidence in this case will show that David Berg did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death. There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint. David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David's innocence. See, this reads like a guilty to me.

[E]

Yeah. Cause that first sentence you said wasn't

[D]

the cause of her death.

[E]

They didn't say he don't know nothing about it. They didn't say he didn't order it,

[C]

he didn't do it.

[E]

They just said he didn't physically put her in that trunk and he's not the cause of death.

[C]

I agree. That's something totally different.

[A]

That's what I picked up, too, Mark.

[D]

That's what I picked up.

[E]

What'd you hear?

[C]

Cause of death. If I paid somebody to kill you, I caused your death.

[E]

Death.

[C]

If I had any inkling in putting you in a coffin, I caused your death. I'm not looking at it like that. I don't want to be insensitive, so I'll keep some of my opinions to myself. I think this gonna play out differently. I think that any person with some Sense. Because we making it seem like he's some mastermind. If you're a mastermind, my. You don't put the girl in your trunk.

[E]

But that's what sometimes people do so they can say, if I. If I were gonna kill her, why would I put her in my trunk?

[C]

Which makes you not be the mastermind that niggas say you are.

[E]

Yeah. Oh, I think he's not a mastermind, but I'm just. I think people overthink things. You know what I mean? Well, let me ask you, do you think he did it?

[C]

I don't know and I don't want to. I don't want to convict this innocent kid. I mean, innocent until proven guilty, young man. You're not certain that he may or may not have done.

[E]

All right, all right.

[C]

We watch enough tv, we watch enough docs, we watch enough. We all just finished watching DTF St. Louis and every episode we thought somebody else did that. So I don't want to do that.

[B]

Know.

[C]

Do you just say, I don't know if he did it? I haven't seen the evidence.

[E]

I don't know if he did it either. I only know him from his song Romantic Hom.

[C]

I don't want to convict. I don't want to convict this kid. Do you think he knows something about what happened? I don't know. And I. You think there's a chance. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You think there's a chance that he's completely oblivious to what happened to her and how she ended up in that trunk? A chance? Absolutely.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Is trolling, bro? This the. The song about the song? The songs, the morbid songs. The dead body in the Tesla, the

[D]

being 21 and dating a 14 year old.

[B]

Yeah, let's start with that.

[A]

Like this, with the matching tattoo cell phone pings.

[C]

Yeah, tattoos. Because I don't know. I don't know nothing about character because

[B]

he, he, he is willing to date somebody that he has no business dating. That's what we know. Right?

[C]

That is true.

[B]

Right. So it's like you already know that, that he's on some type of. Because that's a character. That's a character thing right there, right?

[C]

Yeah, I agree with that.

[A]

Yeah, man.

[D]

Rest in peace to us again.

[C]

Yeah. Rest in peace. Hopefully, man, justice is served.

[B]

Yeah. You just in love with some on Tick Tock. End up with him and he kills you. That's terrible. And I hope it's a lesson for they need to tell because these little kids, they on Roblox and talking to these People, you think it's a kid

[C]

and it's not grown as men.

[B]

That's what these kind of stories, words need to be shared in schools and these kids need to notice how this go. That person that's so sweet to you online is not going to be nice when you get there. And it's not going to look like what you think it is ever.

[D]

Yeah, true, true.

[A]

Well said. Mono, indeed.

[E]

Always.

[A]

You did good.

[B]

So poetic.

[D]

Hope they find justice for that girl.

[B]

Yeah, really.

[E]

And they find the real killers.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

If. If anybody or anyone of us had body dust in the truck trunk, you're going to jail.

[B]

We're done.

[A]

Four years while they figure it out.

[C]

While they figure it out. It's gonna be sitting there.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

That's a fact.

[D]

That's usually how it goes.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

I appreciate the thoroughness, though.

[A]

Mark, I know you was talking about you and your wife going to a comedy show. Did you see Dave Chappelle's? Oh, I did. Dave Chappelle

[E]

interview.

[D]

I love this.

[E]

I disagree with so much of it.

[D]

Really, baby?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

I thought he got it.

[D]

I just love the intentionality of Dave Chappelle.

[A]

Yeah, that's what the.

[D]

The first thing that really drew me to the conversation. The first thing I pulled from the conversation, rather, is even with like the Saudi, like, he wasn't just willy nilly doing for. Because they offered him a bag, even though I'm sure they offer him a great bag. It seems like he had intent on why he went there and could explain it, which a lot of people can't.

[C]

They just pick up their bag. Like they try to trip him up a lot of times. And I think they try to catch him on these aha, gotcha moments. And it just never works with him because he's just so articulate. And to Parks's point, he makes sense when he says what he says.

[A]

Well, let me play the clip.

[D]

Go ahead.

[B]

Make it clear that they believe that the Saudis killed Jamal Khashoggi and the embassy in Turkey. You knew that when you went, right?

[C]

Oh, absolutely. Now I can tell you you had no qualms. I won't say that. They asked me to go years before that, and I said no for that very reason.

[A]

Since that time, the United States government does business with the Saudis.

[C]

Netflix does business with the Saudis. Everyone. The Saudis financed tons of movies. All these. I know. I see them financing boxing matches and all these things. And none of these things were an issue until I went there.

[A]

Now why is that?

[C]

As soon as a black man can make money off the plantation. They try to tell you that the money is dirty. Well, okay, I'll go home and spend the money with actual slave owners on it. Where is this clean money you're talking?

[E]

But you said you hesitated for years to go there.

[A]

Years you didn't go. So what made the difference for you?

[B]

Time.

[C]

Time and circumstance. Time and. And the wheels of commerce kept turning.

[A]

I love journaling.

[C]

If you want to be that pure about money, then stop driving your car, stop eating, don't use your cell phone. Everything is tethered to something that's just terrible. And I can make a million excuses or reasons to deprive that crowd of that show. But, man, when I was standing in front of them, I feel like I did the right thing.

[E]

I mean,

[B]

I. All right, I felt like. Like, I think that when, like, I disagree with you, you say you like journalist slate. I feel like I shouldn't know how you feel about a top topic when you ask the questions. Like, I know that you disapprove of him doing that. She was just a little spicy for me. Like, when she leans in, it's like, well, if you. It's like, relax, bitch. Everybody, you know, oh, I don't enjoy that.

[D]

Maybe that came across. But in the conversation, I don't know if you watched the whole thing. She was. Sounded a. Like a Dave Chappelle.

[E]

She was a fan to me. Yeah. And I thought it was a fair question. I mean, because there has to be a logical consistency. If he's saying, I didn't go initially because. Because they killed Jamal Khashoggi and I had a principle reason not to go, then I think it's reasonable follow up to say, well, what changed if you didn't go? Cause they were like this, and they're still like this, then why'd you go? And I actually didn't think he gave a clear answer to that. He said, time and the wheels of commerce. What does that mean?

[C]

It means that if you are judging me or if I see all of these things around me, right, and it kind of goes to some of your capitalistic ideology. Like, dog, if we see all of these things happening, right, and I'm one man, I can't change all of this shit. So if it's still happening and the people that are gonna judge me are over there with them, right, and you fucking with them, and you fucking with them, and you fucking with them, and y' all all getting money. And I tried to stand on this one principle at this point in time, then what the Fuck, am I really changing standing on this principle? Even though the principle was mine, it could have potentially changed over a period of time to say, yo, dawg, y' all niggas is all over there fucking with the devil, so now y' all gonna judge me for fucking with the devil, too. But your principle is your own. So if you don't want to fuck with the devil, you don't have to. Nobody else should be able to change that. If I say I'm not going over there because I don't agree with what they doing, that's fucking with the devil. That's on him. And everybody in the room say, well, we going over there. If I took that stance, go over there. And I should be able to say, all right, well, y' all do y' all thing. I'm still over here. I agree. And he's. And he. He should also be able to change his mind based on time and circumstance to now say, I thought this way back then. I'm gonna go fuck with him today

[D]

also outside of this clip, because I know we're slaves to clip culture. He told another story in the same conversation about how he went over there and they gave him a list of shit that he couldn't talk about. And his entire set was the show he couldn't talk about. And all the other comedians and journalists or whoever was in the audience were, like, happy and praising and asking him, how can you go and just say shit? He's like, I just say shit. So what would you say to maybe helping people over there by being him and expressing himself? Because fuck the commerce part. That's gotta get your money.

[E]

So, I mean, it's a couple pieces to it for me. Again, like, I agree with saying, look, you have a right to change your mind. I didn't get a sense that he changed his mind on the principle. What it heard him say was, everybody else is still fucking with him. I'm not gonna stay here on his island by myself. I'm not gonna be the only one not doing it again to isis. Point to me. If it's your principle, it's your principle. If it's not, that's cool. Again, I've never demanded that people go to Saudi Arabia. I just think it's an unprincipled choice given what they've done. And to be clear, my issue isn't people performing in Saudi Arabia. It's performing for the Saudi Arabian government. Government, which I think is a very different thing. And it gets very complicated. Those two things blend together when the government the state and the people making the business decisions are all kind of the same group in the same family.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, but what about my question?

[E]

No, no, I am. They were just. There were. There were two. There was. I was doing it.

[A]

But also, even in what you just said, I heard where he changed his mind. Even in what you said.

[E]

Yeah, but he didn't change his mind about the principle. He changed his mind about whether he should. Should go or not.

[A]

Yeah, but sometimes, sometimes you could realize that you've been standing on a non existent virtue for however many years.

[C]

That is true.

[A]

And change your position on that.

[E]

That is true.

[A]

That would be him changing his mind, though.

[E]

He definitely changed his mind, I'm saying. But he didn't change his mind. He still thinks the government killed the journalists. He still thinks it's wrong to support them. What I heard him say was. And maybe I heard it differently than y', all, what I heard him say was, there's no clean money. I stood here trying to be on an, you know, to stand on this principle, but everybody else, including people who were saying Saudi ain't shit, is now doing business with Saudi and, you know, the alternatives aren't any cleaner. If I stand here on this virtue of going to Saudi Arabia, of not going to Saudi Arabia, and I spend it here in the United States, like you said, I'm spending it with slave owners.

[C]

I'm spending it with people invested in prison under those same principles, I shouldn't do comedy in the United States.

[B]

States.

[C]

Oh, we. We really rocking. On a principled standpoint, I shouldn't do comedy nowhere around the world because most of the governments and the powers that be around the world are tied to dirty shit.

[A]

Well, that's Mark's. That's Mark's point. And that's many people's point in verses four. Right?

[C]

I know. So his. So when he said, yo, dog, if I'm going to stand on this principle and I'mma take the money that they gave me and come home and spend the same American green money that got got slave owners tattooed on our dollars, then that's a contradiction too. So based on this principle, I've come to a realization that ain't no way I could do comedy at that. Don't have no dirty shit tied to it.

[E]

I'm with you. Again, I'm not disputing that point. I don't agree with him, but that's not the point I'm making. Joe pointed out the point I'm making, which was the N versus 2. Again, if somebody said Look, I'm not performing in the United States. Cause they continue to do X, Y and Z. I'm cool with that. I don't have any issue with that. I think that's a principled position to take. You can't escape capitalism inside of capitalism. So I'm not asking people to perfect or to not deal with money that has blood on his hands. But if somebody came here and said, I'm going to come at the behest of the Trump administration, I'm gonna perform for Donald Trump or I'm gonna get paid by the Trump, to me, that's a slightly different thing. And I think the problem is the Saudi government, the Saudi family, the people who are financing these boxing matches and things like this, they're all the same mix. And so it's harder to disentangle that. Now, once he's there to parse this question. I've always. I'm a huge fan of Dave Chappelle, and I admire his courage and I admire what he was willing to do and what he's willing to talk about, even if I disagree with it. Cause it was the trans thing that I was actually talking about when I said I disagree with him. Not this point. I think that's amazing. I think he is opening up space and opening up ground for other things to happen. Now, some of that is he can get that off. Cause he's Dave Chappelle. Right. And the 10th guy who comes out there and does that may find himself in prison.

[C]

True.

[D]

Okay.

[E]

So I'm not sure if that will actually work for other people other than Dave Chappelle. But it's still a necessary thing. If he went there and followed the list, I would have lost respect for him. But I would not expect Dave Chappelle to follow the list. I expect Dave Chappelle to do exactly what he did, which is be courageous.

[A]

But this is my point, and I'm going back to a convo that we maybe had on Patreon. Not to rehash it, but this was my point. When y' all were having a discussion about your kid being the brightest in the class. And you like, no, I'm leaving my kid there. And I'm like, okay, okay. That can't be a reasonable expectation for other people. If somebody's coming to Dave Chappelle with 3000x what he normally makes, most people are going to say, oh, once in a lifetime shot, I'm grabbing this money to go put it in a trust fund for my kid or go to take care of my family. Like who is walking away from that?

[C]

See, I want to take. I want to take the money out. I don't think you can take the money out. I want to take the money out because it still serves a greater good. To the point that you are making. When we brought up the kid on the Patreon conversation, it serves the greater good to have your kid be promoted and possibly achieve greater things. So Dave Chappelle went over there against this regime and said a whole bunch of shit he wasn't supposed to say. That is potentially clearing a path. And it's also putting gems over there that you could have never put over there without being persecuted.

[E]

Here's my issue. I think that that's put in the. That's potentially a thing that could happen. Happen, right? And I think it's potentially there's value in saying, look, I'm going to take this one shot and make the most of it, right? I can. I could change the world with this money that I got from this bag. If. No offense to Mona. I'm only saying this because you're not Dave Chappelle.

[A]

Defend Mona. I love Mona.

[E]

I'm saying if you went over there and took the bag, I wouldn't have been out here protesting in you. Ramy Youssef in his special said, I did not go. I stood my ground. I absolutely refused to go to Saudi Arabia. He said, and the main reason was they didn't invite me, right? He's like, I would have fucking went. You know, so I get it, right? But Dave Chappelle is Dave Chappelle. This is the guy who walked off of his own set, left all that money to stand on a principle. So he's. I have an expectation of Dave Chappelle.

[A]

I understand that.

[E]

And that's just so. So I'm not talking about. I'm not talking about everyday person.

[D]

Any other situation, if someone got paid a massive bag to go in front of a total, totalitarian regime and rip them apart, we would champion that. What do you stand in the face according to his. He took the list. I'm sure you can't say. And that was his entire set. And I'll take him at face value.

[C]

Let me ask.

[E]

So in any other situation, Let me clear that up, because I think that that's an important, important distinction. Their list, it wasn't a Trump list, like, don't say stuff about us. It was a. These are values and issue. Sex, homosexuality. This was not a. Do not say he didn't. We saw that special. He didn't tear the Saudi Arabian government. If he did that, I'd be standing. I'd be.

[D]

Where did we see that special?

[A]

I don't know. I did not see that special.

[B]

That's the one with the bird. That's the one with the bird on his arm, right? Yeah, that's the.

[C]

Do we know that's the same show?

[E]

That is. I don't think you did two shows in Saudi Arabia.

[C]

No, I'm saying.

[B]

Yeah, that's the show. When he has the eagle and he releases it. That's the Saudi show.

[C]

Show.

[E]

Am I mistaken?

[C]

Oh, maybe.

[D]

I don't know.

[E]

I thought that's. I thought that was the one that we came up here and talked about

[B]

and said we thought, like, you know, I never.

[E]

I could be wrong.

[A]

I never assumed that the broadcast is the exact same show as the last show ever.

[E]

Okay, so.

[A]

So I don't know what show they got.

[E]

Okay, fair enough. Let's assume that it's not. Then I. I'll take the worst case scenario and let's assume that what I'm saying is completely wrong. If he went out there. I don't think I am, but let's assume it is for the sake of. If he went out there and tore apart the Saudi Arabian government, then I have a very different position than if he goes out there and violates their free speech restrictions around sexuality, around drugs, around alcohol, around. He.

[D]

Even if it's still just that. You would not praise that.

[E]

Yeah, not if he's doing it while performing. For what? If he. If he'd done that during apartheid South Africa, would we say that's okay because he went against their free speech laws? We'd probably say no, because you shouldn't support apartheid South Africa. Africa, an apartheid government.

[D]

I think I could still find some level of happiness. Or not happiness.

[C]

Can I ask the question?

[E]

And I think for me, that's the distinction. Right. I'm happy he did that part of it. But if an artist is performing Jim Crow, if an artist is performing apartheid South Africa, then I'm saying, wait, there's a call not to do that. Now, if Dave Chappelle says, look, I don't respect that call, cool. Again, for me, it's the pivot. If Dave Chappelle said, five years ago, look, they killed Jamal Khashoggi, but no money is clean. I'm good with it. I'm gonna do it because I think it's the right thing to do. And then later on he does it. I might disagree with him, but I wouldn't be having this conversation. To me he made a principle, said what his principle was, said why he wasn't going, and then he did it, and for me. And his answer was, everyone else is doing it and no money is clean. For me, that's not a good enough answer. But that's just my personal preference. I'm not castigating him for it. My issue with Dave Chappelle, that's more deep, I think, was the I'm all

[A]

the way with you on the trans shit. I don't really get what he was talking about. It reminded me of my Andrew Reese commentary and then seeing what other people were doing and coming in here and saying, oh, shit, I didn't know that I was being complicit in that. It was kind of the same thing.

[E]

That's the thing that I actually took issue with. It wasn't. Again, I'm not out here, like, fuck Dave Chappelle for going to Saudi Arabia. I. I disagree with it because I happen to stand in solidarity with certain political movements and say that that's not the right choice. But I'm not boycotting Dave Chappelle. I'm not criticizing Dave Chappelle for that. I saw a pivot that didn't match up to me. Right. But for me, the decision. When he says, I am sad or frustrated at Republicans for weaponizing my jokes, he's basically saying, I made these trans jokes and that they're making these jokes and they're using them in ways as a spokesperson and making them harmful. We talk about Lauren Boebert, like, taking picture with him, all this shit. I'm like, what did you think was gonna happen?

[B]

What the fuck did you think? Yeah, that was like.

[E]

That's the part that I was like, come on, like. And I don't think he's being dishonest. I just think.

[B]

How do you not think that that's, like. What you think would happen is, like, you're on this platform. We have platforms. Just a little piece of what he has.

[C]

We have a platform, and if we

[B]

came out and right now we make certain jokes, we decide to talk about disabled people, motherfuckers might spin off that. And that might be a conversation on Twitter for three days. We know that. Like, we know that to be true.

[C]

So if Joe came in. So prime example, we came in here, right? And we talked about how Donald Trump, even though none of us cared for Donald Trump, was still putting on a master class in his campaign. We talked about the. That they took that and spun that and said that we were advocating for Donald Trump.

[A]

Yeah. Now they got me on fucking MAGA list.

[C]

That's my point. So that's my point. So you can't say that. What did you think was gonna happen? We was just sitting in here talking about an objective observation based on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and how they were running their campaigns. He never said we were pro.

[A]

Let me finish.

[C]

So we're not saying that. Yo. Dave Chappelle speaking on whatever he's speaking on and them now taking him, making him the poster child or the token boy for that objective. I don't think that that's a. What did you think would happen? Because, again, we came in here and talked about how Kamala dropped the ball on some of the stuff that she was doing to reach us.

[D]

In fairness, I do think it's weird to put the same responsibilities socially on comedians as we do lawmakers. Like, that's not. That should not be the same.

[E]

It's not. But.

[B]

But.

[D]

But I agree with accidentally propagandizing things.

[B]

Platforms come with responsibility, in my opinion.

[E]

I step in real quick.

[C]

I'm sorry.

[E]

We cut them off.

[C]

I think I was just saying. You said that that was possibly the same show, right?

[E]

The one you. Yeah.

[C]

Could this just be a case of, hey, I'm in bed with Netflix. Netflix is in bed with them. This is just big business happening.

[E]

I mean, I think that's always up

[C]

there, and that's what it just sounds like. Before, it wasn't the case. Now I'm in bed with them. They're in bed with this group over here. All right, let's play ball. And I'm playing ball.

[E]

I want to give Dave credit for being more thoughtful and principled than that. I think that's a. I think that. No, no, I'm not disagreeing with you.

[C]

I give everybody credit until the zeros get long enough.

[E]

I think there's a lot of factors, and I think sometimes even how you think about something changes when there's the cash incentive. So I. But I think Dave Chappelle is generally principled. Again, when I disagree with Dave Chappelle, I just disagree with him. I don't think he has some secret play. I think Ish. With the point you were just making. I think the difference is up here, we made a political point that then gets used in ways that we didn't anticipate for it to be used. Okay, Right. That could happen to anybody. Dave Chappelle was making remarks that in some ways were being used exactly how he said. Like some of his jokes, like, when you call, I'll give You an example when you keep talking about a trans woman's penis and when you keep making jokes that mock the legitimacy of trans identity, regardless of what anybody here feels about trans folk. And then you have a Republican say, dave Chappelle agrees with me that there's only two genders. And Dave Chappelle agrees with me that that's not really a woman. That's not a leap. That's not my words of being. The jokes themselves were weapons. I mean, even the joke he made about performing in Saudi Arabia at his last comedy special that we saw on Netflix, the joke. I forget what happens to the trans woman in this joke. I can't remember the joke now. But his jokes. It's not a hard. It's not a huge leap from his jokes to how people are talking about his jokes. I think his jokes are trans antagonistic, and they're transphobic. And so when they get used by transphobic Republicans, I don't think it's fair to say they use it in ways I reach it or something. And the thing is, I think Dave may actually not. He may actually respect trans identity in ways that his jokes don't suggest. He may not be exactly politically aligned with the Republicans, but his jokes don't suggest that. Whereas up here, to use your language, we're making an objective claim that Kamala ran a bad campaign. That doesn't mean we hate Kamala Harris. It doesn't mean we. So if a Republican then uses that. That's different to me.

[B]

It is. It's totally different.

[A]

Yeah. Big Dog. Big Dog. We got it, y'.

[E]

All.

[A]

It's the weekend.

[D]

And shout out to him for his public radio shit that he's doing. Doing in Ohio. I think that's. Yeah, that was the point of this whole interview, and I think that's dope. Public radio is important.

[A]

He won't. He. He won't be there. I mean, I would love to go to Ohio, too. I'll tell you one person who's not. Not gonna be.

[E]

That's why I like Dave Chappelle. Dave likes critic. Like he said in the interview. He said, like, I don't mind if people disagree with me. Dave Chappelle and I agree on, like, 95% of things. And it's all love what I've seen him in. It's always been love and support.

[A]

It's all love until it ain't work. We gonna need more than that. You gonna need more than a month to clean up that mess. Muslim, David. Muslim. Hey, I'mma kick your back in for 35 minutes and then, hey, my Muslim

[C]

brother on a mus. On a Muslim person principle and ideal.

[E]

I, I, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't kick his back. I didn't kick his back.

[B]

No, you didn't. And I don't, I don't.

[A]

I just want weekend Mark back, man. I don't want to fight for trans rights today.

[B]

I don't.

[E]

I want to fight for trans rights every day.

[A]

I know, man, but come on.

[E]

And everyone's right.

[A]

It's Saturday, man.

[E]

So that's fine. We come back. Can we talk about Bow Wow or something? That's probably what you want. That's probably what talking about Bow Wow.

[A]

Yes, exactly who I was. Want to talk about. Jealous Bow Wow. You jealous our Eskimo brother, huh?

[E]

This thing say hour? Yes.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

No.

[E]

Ain't just ice moaning.

[B]

I haven't been able to see Mark.

[A]

You think Bow Wow can't slide something you slid?

[C]

Like, why? Why you think he hasn't.

[A]

Yeah, I'm confused that you're. What are you implying?

[E]

I'm very clear about Bow Wow.

[D]

Let's get to Bow Wow after.

[E]

Okay, sure. I'll save my Bow Wow thought.

[C]

[A]

You can't change the rules for dudes. If Kevin Samuel said. The Godfather said that when you 50 years old with mad kids and mad BMS, your price can't. Your price can't be the same.

[A]

Please tell me where I contradicted myself. Where did I contradict?

[C]

Women that have multiple kids and up there in age, their value goes down as per the Kevin Samuels. The men, as they incline in age, get more distinguished. And nine times out of ten they have a higher financial standard. So their value increases. Increases per Kevin Samuels. Not per Ish.

[A]

But you had more money when you were younger.

No, I didn't.

[A]

So told Century 21 to kiss his

[E]

ass in some way.

[A]

Hey, take this, J. Okay, so. All right. So taking you at your word, and I'm assuming your word is your bond, cuz you wouldn't lie on your word.

[C]

[D]

The dick doesn't get loose.

[E]

That's why I don't like him. You've been sitting there bazooka in this. And he always turned to me.

[E]

He didn't bazooka me.

[A]

He said, you my man, 100 grand, but you was in the bag.

[C]

And I never saw you do this when. And you pointed to me shoot at him. I'm saying that me doing like this

[A]

could bag you off making teeth.

[E]

You are looking at her the way you be looking at Mona.

[C]

That's not true.

[A]

And you do be looking at Mona like that.

[C]

Po just was like this on. I look at my answer. That one.

[E]

Yeah,

You baggable. Not.

[B]

Nobody look at him.

[E]

Take look a second.

[A]

Yeah, don't.

[C]

Don't jump. Women that have come up here that could bag me.

[A]

I never heard him pronounced that way. That nigga's pronouncing.

[E]

[A]

[A]

Oh, no. Yo, yo, look, yo, you are. I never seen a mad. I'm the farthest. Not real mad, but mad that he's bad. You baggable and you.

[E]

You know it.

[C]

So you saying you wasn't baggable, but

[A]

we're not saying you can't bag.

[C]

No, what I'm saying is that what you're saying. No, what I'm saying is certain women that have come here under the right pretenses. Yeah. We could have potentially met or kicked it, sure, but.

[B]

Said it let z.

[C]

No, that's what I wish Imani was here.

[A]

No, no, please. The room can't handle it.

[D]

We only have but so many measuring

[A]

And that's where you always go wrong. Like you don't have to do if I'm this. What is he like? Who cares what I am?

[C]

No, what I'm saying is most of

[A]

the people, you don't even really go out.

[C]

No, More.

[A]

You so baggable.

[C]

That's not at all like you just in the house. I don't go out no more because I have a family.

[A]

Loved that temptation. That temptation.

[C]

What I have at home is better than being outside.

[A]

Talk to him then. Why you so backable?

[C]

I'm not. That's what I'm telling you.

[A]

So why do the guests keep thinking that you are?

[C]

They don't.

[A]

So why you keep jumping in the bag?

[C]

I don't. Ain't nobody putting me in no bag up here. Not one. We all think that girls we have

[A]

Y' all think I'm just. Yeah,

but you know what? I'm against him in this, But I feel him, right? He feel like his resume is so illustrious. Like, it's offensive a little bit.

[C]

They could just get him.

[A]

Yeah, I get it.

[C]

I feel him.

[A]

I feel I'm against him in this, but I do understand his sentiment in it. Holy.

Yo, smile at somebody.

[A]

They could just. But you smile a lot. Cheekbones come out.

[E]

You know what it is is that

reason, you nailed it.

[A]

[C]

I know you know all the vaginas right here. Yo, your man paid you so bad.

[A]

That's why your voicemail is like that.

[E]

The circle back. Hey.

[C]

[C]

For it to be wild, you had to intend to do. And that's nowhere near.

[A]

Look, now you want he saying looking back on it?

[C]

[C]

I just want my son to just admit it.

[E]

Can I, Can I?

[C]

Go ahead, Mark.

[A]

Yeah, please, Mark.

[E]

I don't even think of substance.

[A]

I'm outraged too.

[E]

Oh, I'm annoyed, but I'm not outraged. This is about the wnba. Az Fudd, for those that don't know

[C]

is the number one pick was number

[E]

one pick by the Dallas Wings. The same team as Paige Beckers. Big paige, you know, two UConn giants.

[A]

Right, right, right.

[E]

Great basketball players. But Az and Paige are also in a relationship. We know that because Paige announced it on her TikTok a year ago and everybody knows it's right. So it's a couple Things right. First is like, is it a good idea to draft someone's girlfriend on the same team if they're the best player? You draft the best player. I'm not convinced AZ was the number one pick. I think she might have been number two. Number three pick. I think there's some other guards who compliment Paige better than me. But then yesterday on the interview, a reporter asked them a question, a question I think was fair.

[C]

Fair.

[E]

The reporter says

[C]

now it's last year on TikTok that y' all were a couple. And I'm wondering if that is still

[A]

the case, and if so, if y'

[C]

all have talked to any other couples in the league about how they negotiate that dynamic as pro teammates.

[E]

I understand why you have to ask that question, but we're going to respectfully

[C]

decline from commenting on our players personal

[E]

lives for the next question.

[D]

There you go. That's that. That's that.

[C]

And I stand with that.

[D]

Me, too.

[E]

They got a right to say that. I'm not. They don't owe. I don't. They don't owe us an answer. Although, again, I respect the question because you've announced this as my girlfriend.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Being drafted. My girlfriend. I think partly because that's your girlfriend. I think they play well together. Obviously they play well together at UConn. I think, again, better options. Are y' all uneasy at all about drafting a player's partner?

[D]

No.

[A]

No.

[D]

I'm trying to sell tickets.

[A]

Draft my girl, yo.

[D]

I'm trying to sell. I'm trying to sell tickets.

[C]

If I'm who I want to be

[A]

with my girl, yo.

[E]

Get.

[A]

Get her. Get her here.

[C]

I'm a star.

[E]

Yeah. If your page is.

[A]

Is.

[E]

Is one of the best young guards in the league.

[C]

Absolutely. Get my girl here.

[D]

And if I'm the. The.

[B]

That.

[D]

Dallas. What?

[C]

Wings. Wings.

[E]

Sorry, no.

[D]

Wings.

[C]

Wings.

[E]

Wings.

[A]

Fuzz.

[D]

That too. Yeah. That's good marketing. Are you crazy?

[E]

But then they're not going to talk about it.

[A]

Do you know what's. And I know it's not fuzz. Don't kill me, please. I'm sorry. I take it back. Yo.

[C]

And if I'm Dallas, do you know

[D]

what the number one. This is going to sound disrespectful, so I apologize in advance. I'm not trying to sound like Gabe in. But it is marketing. The number one result that people search for when they're looking for things.

[C]

Scissoring girl on girl.

[D]

Thank you.

[B]

My favorite.

[C]

Well, number two. Cuz, you know, the one is.

[D]

I didn't look up number two.

[C]

That you know, the other.

[D]

I just, I just looked it up.

[B]

Step the number one stepmom.

[C]

That's that other one too.

[E]

This group needs so much help.

[B]

They not related, y'.

[C]

All.

[B]

Yo, it's just a joke.

[C]

But, but, but nah. And if, if I'm the star, don't you want me happy? If I'm a star, I'm. I'mma exercise my leverage and do what I want to do. Absolutely. I will be.

[D]

And play basketball.

[C]

Look, look, look now what happens to the organization when they beefing.

[B]

Yeah, that's, that's why I would be great now.

[C]

No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm still the star. Right? Get our ass out of here. Yo. And that, but that creates a problem that you now took your number one draft pick. And, and I get your point.

[E]

I just said there are potential problems here.

[A]

These are 21 years. You gonna find it every time.

[E]

This ain't no outrage. This is just a basketball.

[A]

Yes, it is.

[D]

We outraged.

[E]

No, that I, I love that they're supporting this. I mean, I don't know if this would happen in the NBA. I don't know if.

[A]

Well, you was mad when somebody drafted their kid, so.

[E]

Yeah, yeah, but not because it was their kid. It was because I wasn't quite sure he was going to be able to put up numbers right away. I thought Brian should have stayed in college a little bit longer.

[A]

A lot of people were saying you even owe. Owe him an apology because of your bronnie takes. Because of his stats versus the stats of every player picked after him is on par with how many of them got.

[E]

How many of them got the same contract he got?

[A]

Well, there are players that were drafted at least 30 slots before they got the same contract that are not producing the way it is either.

[E]

That means they made a bad choice too.

[D]

And how many, how many of those picks are selling jerseys?

[A]

That's it.

[E]

I'm happy to have a body conversation.

[D]

The draft is a business too. The whole business of sports is a business. As well as the Athletics.

[C]

Absolutely.

[A]

Draft my girl. We're gonna pass these out. It ain't even a long talk.

[C]

And if, like I said said, and if go left, get my girl out of here. Well, get my ex rid of a

[E]

number one overall pick.

[B]

Depending on the maturity of them, them kids, I would be scared that they would fall out and it would cause trouble on the team personally if they're not mature 20 year olds, whatever the their age is.

[E]

Is there such a thing?

[B]

I would be. I mean, yeah, it is. It's such A thing as some mature. Especially people that have been through some pro athletes. Cuz athletes are more disciplined and. And all that. So depending on their maturity.

[C]

Yeah, I think that I might play better. I got my joint right here with me every night.

[B]

Or if you cheat, imagine if you cheating with somebody. You want to see that could be

[C]

a. I ain't got to cheat. She right there.

[E]

Now we lit.

[B]

Just cuz you don't have that. When do y' all ever have to cheat?

[C]

I'm talking about the. I'm talking about the athletes.

[A]

We going to try this a different way.

[C]

I'm talking about the athletes that be moving around.

[A]

We going to try this a different.

[C]

And a girl ain't with them, so they got to cheat.

[A]

I'm not getting. I'm not getting. I'm not.

[C]

Go ahead, Joe.

[A]

I'mma close my eyes for five seconds. When I open them, my girl better be here. My girl better be. That girl better be in crazy bikini. Yo, I'm running. I'm gonna go pee. I gotta pee.

[C]

When I come back, my girl better

[A]

have a five year contract.

[C]

You better have a hat on that say the Dallas Wings, because you look

[A]

at it this way, with the way that their new pay structure is set up. So you're gonna pay one way up.

[C]

Paige is gonna be.

[A]

You're gonna pay one way. You either gonna sign my girl or I'm going. Or I'm gonna take all of that $7 million and you gonna fill this up with YMCA. Yeah. Pick your poison.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, she gonna get maxed out regardless. Yeah, she's gonna get maxed out regardless.

[D]

Yeah. I want my. I want my girl.

[E]

I'm.

[B]

If I was.

[E]

Let me be clear. I don't know if y'.

[B]

All.

[E]

She's a very good basketball player. Her left hand's not as strong as. You know. Olivia Miles is in that draft. There's other people in that draft who are also very good.

[A]

Good.

[E]

So. And I. I.

[A]

Mark.

[C]

But Mark, you said. You said she could be number two, number three, so.

[E]

No, that's one of the draft critiques was that was her ability to go left. And that matters when you got Paige back.

[A]

But my.

[C]

You saying she could be 2, 3, 4, something like that. It ain't like they got the person who was a second rounder for sure and grabbed her.

[E]

Ain't no bronnie. Yeah.

[C]

You get what I'm saying?

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm like, what are we talking about?

[E]

I'm just raising Marcus outraged. I am not outraged.

[A]

Like, you're like you can't go left. I'll learn that next season.

[E]

I'm just raising the question as a. From a basketball team perspective that if you draft someone's significant other at age of 20, now, if they were married,

[C]

that could be problematic.

[E]

If they were married, I probably would feel a little differently. But most 20 year olds don't.

[A]

I mean, dog is power dying.

[D]

This is very conservative of you, Mark.

[E]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe my basketball. I'm a conservative basketball executive. But like most 20 year olds don't stay with the person they with. And when y' all break up and y' all on the same team, that shit could get ugly, is all I'm saying.

[C]

I was more shocked. Shocked with this being Dallas, which is in conservative ass. Texas.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Dallas itself, I don't think is that conservative.

[E]

Yeah, Dallas isn't as conservative. Fort worthy. I don't know, actually. Just. Yeah, I get what you're saying. Yeah.

[C]

Not just that. Spanky rules for sure. You talking about Spanky rules.

[E]

All right, so if. One more question. If this is the NBA and say you're the Knicks and let's pretend. Pretend that there's a player on the

[D]

Knicks whose game Pablo Torre's on y' all ass too.

[E]

Let's say they were a star player on the Knicks whose game would you be okay drafting their significant other?

[D]

They did that.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Parks trying. He trying to get this powder.

[E]

I threw it at the rip for Joe, but you did it.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

Parks, he trying to do Potter of the year. Parks is doing a lot.

[A]

I'll be at the Knick game tonight. Game one against the Hawks. Go Knicks. Let's go. Let's get it done.

[D]

Watch out for that surveillance.

[E]

But would y' all be okay with that? With the NBA?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

What up Would y' all feel.

[C]

Is my star and a player in a scrub? Yes, I'm okay with that.

[E]

I would feel less okay with the NBA because I actually think that lesbians tend to stay in relationships longer than. You know what I mean. Than a young man who's 20. I actually feel like women are more stable on that. I mean, it's a cliche, but like lesbians move in together after the first weekend. So if I'm playing on the cliche,

[D]

I think this is not very freedom fighter review.

[A]

No,

[B]

lesbians are known to shack up.

[E]

I'm saying they're more mature and stable immediately. 20 year old dudes are trash.

[C]

They also don't mark.

[A]

Barbershop talk is like a lemon tree. Barbershop like super cuts.

[B]

Lesbians known for that dv, I ain't gonna say.

[B]

Froz will beat your ass for spending my 401k. Yes, they will. The mini first. They'll whoop your ass ass. After I get your bbl, you think you going to come in here and smell like dick? I got you.

[A]

Let me talk.

[B]

I got to just say crazy stuff like. I don't even want to say stuff like this y'. All. But they don't let me say. I hate to just punch in. I gotta say something to make them like this so I can say something that's no disrespect to me. First lesbians. The ones with the little frozen. The one titty there's no disrespect to any y'. All. I love y'. All.

[E]

Joe, you got need long on the

[C]

board supposed to do Bow.

[D]

We got to get to Bow Wow.

[A]

I want to read this. That Bow said about every other city we go every other Bow Wow said my uncle Snoop and Nate do dog was ahead of their time when they was talking about when it what they what they was talking on all about you. Because man, it's the same girls that was at Breezy bowl months back. That's all in our back rooms now. About to go back to the next party room. Ha. Or I just seen them posting from my brother Trey song show. Crying emojis sound like R B fan to me. If you tender music stay your ass inside. The demons is outside this summer.

[D]

Oh.

[A]

Like I said on I'm a flirt how the moral of the story is cuff your chick. Cause hey, this ish really be crazy. These girls is in a fun era. I feel bad for the good guys out here. It's not even summer yet. They going

[C]

shut the up where you lie at.

[B]

So the same at his show was at Chris Brown show.

[A]

Yes, duh.

[C]

Why wouldn't they be? No, they are the same ones.

[B]

So they back the same caliber.

[D]

Sound like they say they're the.

[C]

Yo, are you familiar?

[A]

Let's just take our time with this, please.

[C]

Wait, are you familiar with that one?

[B]

I mean, say I. I mean the little with the braids. The one that was a kid?

[A]

Yeah, him.

[E]

Bow wow.

[B]

The one that was running in front of them kids and said that they don't know who I am. That Bow wow?

[C]

Yes. Yes, him. Are you familiar with legend in his resume?

[B]

Yes or no?

[E]

Mona, I' ma tell you this. I worked at 106 in park for a couple years when I would guest Host who would be up there or whatever.

[C]

Mr. 106 and park, by the way, that was his name.

[E]

I'm just gonna tell you.

[D]

His dressing room was well decorated.

[E]

Yes, yes. And many were people who you would recognize and be like, damn, I was impressed with the young man.

[A]

That's all I'm gonna tell you, Byron.

[E]

That little.

[C]

That little got a resume.

[A]

So Yalls true opinion on what I just read is all facts. Nothing wrong with the Post.

[C]

Oh, I don't like the Post. I'm not a fan of the Post at all. I believe what he's saying is to be true. You just don't need to say that, though. I don't think you need to say nothing like that. Keep it, player. Don't say say nothing. Yeah, he ain't really call nobody out. He's saying, yo, dog, I see a bunch of y' all girlfriends potentially at these shows, but Bow Wow, you see a bunch of girlfriends at your shows for the last 15, 20 years. You should be way. You should be out here saying, yo, dog, I like.

[A]

That's why reading it. That's all I'm saying.

[C]

For me, that's my only problem with it.

[A]

Only. Only for me. And I have all the respect for Bow Wow resume and his G. That's my Eskimo brother. You know how I feel about you out there. Out there about. However reading this was. Was too tender for where his resume is.

[D]

Tender.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Trey Song show was ages ago.

[C]

Whatever show you talking about just had a show last time.

[A]

Show was age. Whatever shows you talking about, they win already. Whoever you saying is at your show that you see going, and they was at all the other shows, they already went. I took this as also letting the R B know that them same bitches that y' all have backstage, he has backstage. And I just think he too G to do that.

[C]

I agree. R and B tour, too. They are R B too.

[E]

But I ain't take it the way you took,

[A]

dog. If you woke. If you woke up. And some just out the clear blue sky. Author, let's say y' all make book runs together. Like, yo, I can't lie. I'm at my book concert.

[E]

All of these chicks.

[A]

Was that Mark book signing when he threw one, Was that Mona book signing?

[C]

Like, what are you talking about?

[A]

You wake up and be like, why am I even in this story?

[C]

It comes off like you surprised or you or you so like. Like, you honored. You honored to be.

[E]

I didn't take it that long.

[B]

Niggas.

[C]

I thought he was.

[A]

I'm like, one at a time, please.

[C]

I take it like, yo, this is crazy. I'm letting you. But what's crazy. Let me finish. The game been the game. Yeah, but sometimes you'll be like, yo, I ain't gonna lie. I knew it was like this. But we've said that up here. Like, yo, dog, I get a reminder when I go outside sometimes just how crazy is right? Joe's come up here and said, yo, the is out here doing what you. They be said, yes. So what I'm saying.

[A]

And I made that statement without saying no name.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, no, I'm saying. But he's saying like, yo, they're going. They out here. They go, they. They are. So sometimes you'll be like, yo, dog, it's shocking to me to see the rate at which they're going.

[D]

Yeah, it should be shocking.

[C]

You think, you think Bow wow should be shocked? I'm only talking about him.

[A]

These say that to let other know we, me and you money are on the same plane. Feel you her don't think that because I don't have a record out now or because I'm not. I her too. Yes. She wasn't just at your.

[C]

That's what I.

[A]

That's how it came on. He's too much of a G for that.

[B]

Especially the breezy bowl mention. Especially.

[D]

I didn't take it that way. But that's some rapper brain. So you.

[C]

That's your competitive brain talking. I don't think he's saying it like that because again, you think he's really talking to the. Yeah, like, yo, dog, but you can make that same point without saying Chris Brown show Tracy talk. No, he's just naming free frequent recent that all of these girls were at and using them as reference points.

[A]

I don't think.

[C]

I don't think he said, yo, I'm me and Chris the same chicks or me and Trey the same chicks or y' all doing it how I'm doing it the same way. I don't think he's implying that at all. I'm thinking he's saying, yo, damn. It's crazy that I'm seeing all of these same groupy ass girls and all of these same concepts.

[B]

You think he actually feels God bad for the good guys like he said?

[E]

You believe me?

[A]

No, no, not at all.

[E]

Stop.

[C]

I'll give you an example when we we get off mic too. I don't think so at all. Because again, if. If you're new to this, like, let's say he just caught a hit last year and now, this is tour, and he's seeing that. Maybe I'll give him that. But with Bow Wow being who he is and the run that he's had since he was 10, I. You are way more used than anybody else. Damn near anybody else.

[A]

He also can't group. Not me. Not say him. You can't groupy shame. You. You can't groupy shame and say, ah, she all of us, but be the ones to go out. Get her from the front in the rain, put bands around her wrist, take her backstage, go to the food truck, get us some chicken tenders and some French fries. You sit in the front right next to your mom and your aunt. You text them during halftime. Yo, you good, baby. You need anything? Yo, you take them back to the four season, you show them the time of their life. You take them shopping and then come to the Internet and say, ain't groupy shame.

[C]

No, you can't groupy shame when you the same person who got a song on one of you on Green Light. I want. I want to say 4 or 5. Dissing a groupie that you had a baby with. No. Well, I'm looking at it. That's my whole thing.

[A]

Oh, yeah, we can't disgrace.

[C]

I think. I think y' all creating that scenario. I think he looking in the crowd and saying, yo, that's my man's baby mother over here. I'm on tour with seven to eight killers.

[A]

This crazy.

[C]

Yo, dog, I let y' all say y' all whack ass scenario. This could say, yo, dog, I'm on tour with eight or nine. And one of them, eight or nine had a nice. Another nigga's girl back here doing xyz.

[A]

So what are you, the whore monitor?

[C]

Nah, not even that. I'm on tour with a.

[E]

In the group.

[C]

Who? Another nigga's baby moms. So start there, then if that's your take. He might feel the same way about her.

[A]

Bad wise too g for this. It's my take.

[C]

Yeah, this.

[A]

This is.

[C]

And I with you. You know, we. You know.

[D]

But I forgot you had beef.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, we had a beef. Yeah. No, that's my dog.

[A]

Now.

[C]

That's.

[E]

Oh, you got bow.

[B]

You heard me.

[C]

Why you think that toy came through Jersey with no problems? Now, listen,

[A]

Big Free, you still got it. Hey, hey.

[E]

It's a good call back.

[A]

That was great. That was great. That was great.

[B]

I got to do that to jail soon.

[A]

What, to me? I'm some mean boss dictator? Shut your ass up.

[B]

If I do it the right time, it's gonna set it off.

[A]

You talking still.

[E]

Oh stop.

[A]

What do y' all wanna oh Neil. Somebody tell me Neil Long NDA. I have no idea. I have no idea.

[C]

Shout out Neil Long because she did a a feature with Playboy salute first and foremost. Yeah. Yes she did.

[E]

She looked good in it too.

[C]

She. I didn't see it.

[A]

Where does she not look?

[D]

I thought you did.

[E]

Where does she never look at the photography, the lighting. Oh, they lit her really well.

[A]

We got him.

[D]

You looked at porn.

[A]

We got you.

[C]

Oh but what's standing out is her. She also you know there's some comments she made about preferring to date young younger and if she dates a younger dude, if it's a one night stand or something, he has to sign an NDA. The clip is going crazy. Everybody's talking about how they would voluntarily sign the NDA.

[D]

A lot of people I think that

[A]

petition gotta be in the millions, yo.

[C]

But not just that she also talked about how these be talking too much so it speaks to the bow wow point is a perfect segue. She's talking about how the is kind of on some new and they be talking and running their mouths I saw a lot of saying y I'm telling

[A]

somebody literally somebody got to know I'm telling my girl.

[B]

It's a difference said I'm telling my

[C]

mom I'm telling somebody difference between telling

[B]

somebody personally and then going on a

[C]

podcast and tell I saw a couple other say if I hit Neil Longs I'm running to the first podcast Mike I see I'm sorry I have to

[E]

tell that and that's the corniest ever.

[B]

That's the dumbest. That's why we scissoring I would do

[A]

that on like to live corn Ali pod too like just drop that.

[C]

Oh yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Night school one Night school. Oh my crazy is crazy.

[B]

That's that's I don't ish wouldn't tell

[A]

nobody but me and Danny wouldn't that

[B]

became cool though to talk about stuff like that. Y all y' all know that's just

[E]

not has that ever happen to you you were you like Marcus always

[C]

always

[B]

look nor say when they you.

[E]

Know like where like got out and you you you trusted the dude to like keep his keep it quiet and he didn't.

[B]

Yes. Yes.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

How does that feel?

[C]

Yeah how what you do like did you say something to the dude about curse them out like how you do you deal with that you ass.

[B]

That's about right. And then for the most part but I'm always carry like it don't the person even bring it to me. I'm like, what? Yeah, texting this. You know what I mean? I don't even. Who? Who? I don't think I even know him.

[A]

Sean.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm one of.

[B]

I'm never. You know what I mean?

[C]

You never gonna cop to it.

[B]

Fuck no.

[E]

And I know y' all GS and everything, but have y' all ever slipped up and done that?

[B]

I know y' all GS.

[E]

As a matter of fact, I ain't never did that. Keeping people like, have y' all ever slipped up in and talk too much about who y'? All?

[C]

I'm sure I have. I'm sure I've told, like, somebody. But I. I told somebody that I was under the guys, that I was talking in confidence to a person. Like, I had confidence that this is my man or this is my homegirl and it's gonna stay here. So I wasn't just outside again on no podcast and no.

[D]

Like that.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. Running wild with who? I. I've interacted, entertained. Hell, I did not have this.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm on my Joe Buncher.

[B]

At the end of the day. At the end of the day, like,

[C]

this gonna shoot at each other.

[B]

You never like. I feel like you always believe that your friend not gonna tell, but what. What y' all don't realize is that he has to hate on you in that way because he want to her, too. That's what happens every time y' all telling a thinking. That's your friend, your bestie, your bro. Whole time you don't know. He wants to me too.

[C]

So now he gotta put that out there.

[E]

They get you to try to get

[C]

you out of here.

[B]

Get real.

[A]

She gonna want to me too. Let me walk over there, order my water with him.

[D]

It's also real important that if you get the 450, you keep it. You know what I mean?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

No, you know what?

[E]

Y' all don't even cash out.

[B]

Yeah. You know what? I was surprised that y' all didn't mention, because when she said about liking the young guys or, like, dating young guys, whatever. A lot of young I saw in the comments were saying, like, when a man talks about how he like young pussy, it's automatically you're a predator. But when a girl do it, it's like, yes, innovative. Be free.

[C]

Conversation so old.

[A]

I've accepted. I've accepted certain double standards.

[C]

That's a double standard that we.

[A]

One at a time, please.

[B]

Y' all should accept certain double standards because the same way two people. We both in college. I 10 people. You 10 people. I'm a whore, you're a player. I mean mean we've accepted certain double standards. You know what I mean?

[E]

But I don't think this applies to Nia in the same way because depending on how young you talking about like I don't think like if a dude is 52 and says I like to women that's 35, we're not calling them a predator.

[B]

Right.

[E]

You know what I mean? I don't think Nia's saying like she want to 18 year olds.

[B]

Did she specify?

[E]

I don't think so. Just based on.

[D]

She said younger and she's 55.

[E]

So that's, that's what I'm saying. Younger. Don't got to be gross.

[B]

Younger.

[E]

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Like 35 will be young.

[D]

I'm only 42.

[A]

Yeah, I know I'm only 42 though.

[E]

I'm just saying in this particular I agree with the big I'm like me

[B]

a little young meat myself Mark.

[A]

You don't think it was funny that she didn't specify it? Yeah, exactly.

[B]

It's a. That's the whole thing.

[C]

She could have just sounded like I'm younger than me. She could have said but again I don't find it outrage like if she a 23 year old and I seen this, I thought he was physically attractive. I wanted a bite of that candy. I don't think you're talking from her voice right. I don't think that that's not the

[E]

clip I'm making candy.

[C]

I don't think that think that that's outrageous. I think that they too consenting adults.

[B]

I wanted a bite of that.

[A]

I'm glad, I'm glad that Neil Long is younger dude. Cuz too much pressure for me.

[D]

You're younger.

[A]

That's too much pressure.

[B]

Yeah, you technically you could be but

[A]

I don't think that that's who she's talking about.

[C]

I don't think so.

[B]

I'm thinking 30, 50 say I like a young talking about nobody 40. That talking about 27.

[A]

You don't think Neil longer 26 year old dude.

[B]

Oh, I guess she would.

[E]

I don't know what enough to say

[B]

if that got that.

[A]

That's why I asked. What do you think?

[E]

I have no idea. I'll be based off.

[A]

Based off, based on. Let me talk please. I don't care about your illogical facts. I want to say that don't make sense.

[E]

Oh Then. Then hold.

[A]

Let me say what I'm saying.

[E]

I apologize.

[A]

She did. The relationship with somebody my age. Black love faithful. Front row.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Front facing. Yada, yada, yada. We see how that turned out. No, it's a little bit of heartbreak that had. That had to come with that.

[E]

He was younger.

[D]

Yeah, I thought he was younger too.

[C]

Yeah, he's 48.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

All right. They going to keep dancing on that one. They going. Come on.

[E]

I'm just pointing out Mark I get one good. You mark out an episode at least. Yeah, he was younger.

[A]

I'm not going to put that on Neil Long because that's somebody I want to meet and try to hit.

[C]

I'm just.

[B]

I.

[C]

That's what I'm saying. I don't think it's out outrageous though. I really don't. I'mma keep it a buck with you.

[B]

I'm all for making that dick sign the NDA. I'm with that.

[A]

And I'm joking about the trying to.

[B]

I need to get some of them printed up.

[C]

You make somebody sign to NDA.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Mona.

[B]

Yes. I would love that. Even though it's like kind of out there. They don't give a about because like with the NDA, if you violated what you got to go to court.

[C]

Can't even write.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

They don't care

[E]

if you ain't got NDA. Don't really do much.

[A]

I mean, they'll already be in the court. They just got to go to the third floor. They just got to go to different

[E]

floors, go to civil side.

[B]

Y' all don't know like seriously even like dating or from being famous and not famous. It's a total different thing. Like some of these just want to with you because of who you are or so they can tell somebody they with you Trying to decipher who really likes you is like a real thing.

[C]

Scary.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I can't that real.

[E]

Yeah. It must be tough.

[C]

That's why you get one and get out the game.

[B]

No, that shit up.

[D]

You're right.

[B]

Oh my God. I don't know who really likes me for me because my DM is totally loaded all day long. Like, I could just refresh it. Refresh it, refresh it.

[C]

Let me ask you a question. I'm not trying to be funny.

[B]

Yes, you are.

[C]

No, I'm not. Ain't that the same as being Ain't that the same as just being a woman, period?

[B]

What you mean?

[C]

Cause will say whatever they gotta say to Pop. So you really don't know if a like you.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But the space I get, I get what she's saying.

[B]

Like, let me give you an example. There's been times when people book me for podcast ass, right? And I'll get there. And the whole point be for them to shut to me the up. Like, that's the whole thing. Because I'm a boisterous woman. I have an opinion. Some men, that bothers them especially insecure man. So they will bring me on their platform just to kind of like destroy me or shut me up or shut me down. It's the same thing with, like, with. With trying to date you or you. So they can like say, oh, I did loud. I. You know what I mean?

[C]

I beat that thing up.

[E]

I had her.

[B]

I don't know. I'm just being pussy. I play a lot, but I'm stingy with coochie.

[A]

Did those other podcasters figure out a way?

[B]

A way to what? Shut me up.

[C]

Why?

[A]

Cuz you going to call them successful?

[C]

What did they do?

[B]

Figure out a way to do what?

[A]

Share. Share the wealth.

[B]

It's different when I come back. Have to come back. One time is one time. But no, ain't nobody never shut me up. Y' all know that.

[A]

The problem with this story is I've been in Staples to print some shit out and it's not a task that I was able to complete on my own. I needed a staples helper staff to come over so I know he needed one. So staff came over there. I don't think he bright enough to not reveal the plan how I print this. Listen,

[B]

The fact that his father was there, his mom just went viral for just being stupid like that makes.

[C]

Do you know who his father is?

[B]

Yes, I do.

[E]

I think she said he have a chance.

[B]

Like saying like if you're being led by your parents.

[A]

You use that line a lot. People didn't have the chance.

[C]

Well, the she mentioning she got ch.

[A]

Some I look at it different. So I'm not some really have some

[C]

get dealt a up hand.

[B]

Excuse me.

[A]

That's true. When you catch case aborted babies.

[B]

Excuse me. When you catch a case in the

[A]

federal made it on earth, right?

[B]

Excuse me.

[A]

You had that uncomfortable talk. Hey, you had a chance.

[D]

You mean pass that talk.

[B]

When you. When you catch. I don't know if you. You know the PSI tires.

[A]

Huh? Yeah.

[C]

That's the air in the tire right?

[A]

When the little light come on is low.

[D]

If your hair is low, little screen come up.

[B]

Listen, if you. For the people at home that don't know you, you do a psi, you tell them your background. If your mom smoked crack, if your dad beat your mom or whatever. All of those things matter. When a judge makes his decision because that matters how you brought up period. And people that have horrible backgrounds. This the judge is sometimes is lenient. More lenient on you because of how you came up.

[A]

But we locking him up because the odds are high that he's gonna be a horrible future too.

[C]

Yeah, like you think he learned?

[A]

Not just a background.

[C]

That's my only thing. You think, you think, Do I think

[B]

that he learned from the situation? No.

[C]

You wanna have a real conversation?

[D]

Please.

[C]

Wasn't. Wasn't trying to do that at all. She just wanted to laugh.

[A]

No, go ahead.

[C]

No problem. No, no, not for real. I think. I think that there's validity there. That, yo, if you have up circumstances and upbringing, then you might have been at a disadvantage. Agreed.

[A]

Cool.

[C]

But once you get an opportunity in which to become a multi millionaire,

[E]

it

[C]

kind of goes out the window.

[B]

Because why?

[C]

Because most people are committing crimes to get money.

[A]

Yeah, once you got money, you could buy a new pan.

[C]

Once you get money. No, once you get money, like, he can still do shows.

[A]

You could trade your pair.

[C]

You can still have done stuff that make more money and generate more money than the average out here.

[B]

Right?

[C]

So with that being said, yo, go get a bag for 20 grand over here for this show. 15 grand for this show, 12 grand for this show. Whatever the case may be.

[A]

We got it. Isaac Fig Newton. We got it.

[B]

No, because. Because it's still your train of thought, you know what I mean? Especially when you talk about gang culture. Like, come the on, did you just because you get it. An opportunity to make a certain amount of money. If you've been raised to be a gang banger, meaning we, this family is not following the laws of Christ and Islam or religion. We follow laws of the. The gangster disciples. That's what it is. It don't matter if you start making money or not.

[C]

What? What you pointing at my sneakers for?

[B]

Oh, the sneaker.

[C]

Shout to marathon.

[A]

But look, look. Ice is a Muslim too. But go ahead.

[C]

Same that seemingly was aware of his second chance in fdo literally says, I can't fumble this the whole world. So I don't really give him that. It's like I know this is my second chance because of what I just came through. So because I know this I gotta make. Niggas don't get a second chance. You know how many people we know they don't get they got by the system. So he made it back out. He has his second chance. You have a career. You're here and you still threw it away behind dumb. Whether it be dumb in your ear talking, whatever the case may be, I. I can't feel sorry for you, my nigga. I can't.

[B]

I think it's just street culture. And I feel like I've seen people go to jail, come home from jail, change their lives or whatever. But I've seen people when they tell take that time to change the way they think. That's a whole nother set of that's a going to therapy, starting to read books, connecting with family they might have lost connection with, finding their dads they real dad or their mom or whatever. That's totally different from just going to jail and being to the point where you don't commit crimes or you don't commit the same kind of crimes and send you back to jail. Your thought pattern, which is really the root of all the that's the hardest part to change.

[A]

I will smack the out when she finish. I'm will smack the out of you if you ask her a question when she finish. I swear, I swear I wasn't I

[B]

say anything what she I haven't said nothing. This whole podcast Parks I know.

[C]

I miss you Eating chicken is good too.

[B]

And then I say something, it's like, oh, don't ask the no questions. Keep her quiet.

[A]

No, not keep her quiet.

[B]

What you trying to get your money's worth or not?

[E]

No, no, no, no, no.

[C]

He wasn't. He was talking to me. He's saying like we we ended this time topic don't carry on the topic coochie and Popeyes is enough therapy for me that I don't want to go back there. Hey, I didn't get no is good Popeyes taste good.

[E]

I don't want to go back to jail.

[A]

I don't ain't I'm telling you. Y' all telling me them is getting a lot of quality. I do not think so, Joe.

[B]

It ain't got to be quality.

[C]

It's better than not getting no. But a giving me some head pardon my French and my candidness is better than sitting in a cell with 2,200

[E]

other it don't got to be quality.

[C]

Top tier. The fact that I could go get a steak or go get some Popeyes or smell some fresh air is better than sitting in a cell with butt naked waking up.

[B]

Think about it that way. That's. That's. That's duh. Anybody would say that but you you talking about a that when you engulfed in street culture when that's all the you believe I I've been out the streets for almost 10 years. I still have to fight with my myself to make certain decisions. A stole my car and I ain't want to call the police On a. It's like you be that when that is engraved in you, it's automatic. Somebody do something to you gonna do something back. You're not gonna call the police. It's engraved to you. Somebody takes something for you gonna go take something from them. That's what I'm talking about. And I'm somebody that discovered the streets by myself. My father street person. My mother's not. You talking about a Where both parents is in it. Yeah, I see where that might be. Hard to think a different way. Especially you calling home from prison complaining about this, and your pop saying, you know, we got to do. Son. You know what time it is? Yeah, I feel for that. Yes, I do that.

[E]

Let's unpack this a little bit.

Come from jail. Get more restrict respect where they from than they ever did just from doing a jail bit. My first Adele bid was a fat bit looked up to me for going to the feds and not the county.

[C]

That is funny.

[A]

My tore us up.

[B]

You don't got no tattoos either.

[E]

I don't.

[D]

I don't. I was scared of needles. I didn't like needles.

[B]

Okay, okay, now see, that makes sense. I get that. I just don't like how the, like, if it's not a religious thing, how the people make it without no tattoos change.

[C]

They just got a mind of their own.

[A]

You think white, white boys from Buffalo don't like needles, bro?

[C]

I was surprised.

[E]

Don't let him get that.

[C]

I was going to say that he

[D]

[A]

smoking, sniffing, but no needles.

[D]

That's always the rule.

[B]

My 17, 18, I was completely tense

[D]

by the time I got over that phobia. I was too old to. I feel like.

[C]

I feel like I'm too old now.

[D]

I'm about do that at 35, 42,

[C]

about to get a tattoo for the first time.

[B]

Let me text that to my mom.

[A]

Okay? I know something else is important. Wait, actually, before we leave, the. The homosexual and the transgender topics. Did y' all see. Did y' all see Caitlyn Jenner say that she was a hypocrite for accepting the Times Woman of the Year award a couple of years ago?

[D]

I did not.

[E]

I did.

[C]

Why? Why did she say it? Like, for what reason?

[A]

Because it contradicted some of her beliefs. Like when they got her to talking about women participating in. Let me find a clip now?

[C]

Yes, please.

[A]

Because I don't make. Don't give me what you think.

[B]

It was so wrong that she got that award like that that fast.

[D]

She don't see is still dates women. So she probably got yelled at.

[A]

She's trying to.

[B]

Caitlyn's a lesbian.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Okay. She also hurt. That ugly. What is not cute. I don't give a. That ain't. It don't work for everybody. Ugly. Ugly. Well, what none of y' all say. And I'm saying it. I wish I would cut that out. That ugly. I could say that. I mean, that's the thing about being a woman. We're judged constantly. Patriarchy makes even a trans woman kind of forget because she used to be a man. You get it, sir.

[A]

Okay? Because it. Here I am fighting the battle to keep biological men out of women's sports. There we go.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Because it's. It's not right. It just is not right.

[C]

Wait, who's that talking?

[B]

And I want to prefer.

[A]

Here I am fighting this battle. Biological men out of women's sports. But back when I came out, what did I accept? Glamorous Woman of the Year award. And I go, what a hypocrite. I'm still xy. What a hypocrite. I am, you know, trying to keep biological men at a women's sport. But I'm a biological man, and they gave me Glamorous Woman of the Year award.

[B]

Well, can I say something? The thing about Caitlyn is voice. The voice is just as ugly as the face. That's what I wanted to say at first.

[E]

I don't know. Kayla's voice definitely sound like an HBO boxing commentator.

[A]

He is not like Max. Oh, my God.

[B]

But no, what I was going to say was it's a joke because she has all these Republican conservative ass views. You know what I mean?

[D]

Titties.

[B]

Yeah. You was dressing all right. You was putting on leopard panties all that time you was married to Chris or whatever. You finally go be yourself and you transition position. But deep down, you a Klansman, you know what I mean? So it's confusing. It's this internal battle all the time. Because you know what? What you believe in your heart is not what you're doing. That's the truth. And a lot of trans people all across the world, we're like, what the. This isn't a representation of trans. This is rich as this has no idea how it feels to transition when you're poor, which is what most trans people go through. Trans people are killed like every five minutes. Or some. A trans person is murdered that don't know nothing about that. Her rich ass. Fuck that buggy bitch. I don't fuck with her.

[E]

I agree with just about everything you said. I'm okay with Caitlin being eligible for Women of the Year. I think trans women are women and should be eligible for awards. I think people just have to make the decision about who they want to vote for. The women in sports thing is a complicated, messy conversation. I think is, you know, I mean, I'm saying in terms. Yeah, I think it is. I think it is. What do you think? Parts?

[D]

I don't think that there should be men in women's sports. They should make a different section.

[E]

Well, I think we all agree there shouldn't be men in women's sports. The question is, should girls.

[A]

Girls, the women's sports should be able to Uber wherever they want.

[B]

Can I please tell y' all one story, please?

[C]

Yes, please do.

[B]

When I was in federal prison, right.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[B]

Yes, yes. More jail tales. Shut up.

[E]

When is.

[B]

I was. When I was in federal prison, right? Some of the. Some of the trans girls that I episode ever. Shut up. Y' all people. No. Shut up, Joe. I'm telling you.

[E]

Move that mic.

[B]

I'm telling you.

[A]

I want to hear what you got to say.

[B]

No, you don't, but you better pretend.

[C]

Yes, I do.

[B]

So this is what I'm saying. It cost. It costs money to transition. Guys.

[D]

Hit the 1.5.

[B]

It's trans people that prostitute themselves. They do sex work. They. They. Some people steal, some people scam. Which means that I was in federal prison with some. With some women that did some strange things for some change so they could be able to afford this expensive ass transition. Okay? The nuns came and played volleyball against the inmates. Okay, I was the picture. The nuns came to play volleyball against the inmates. I'm serious. Six in arch. I am so serious. Six in arch. I'm dead. Dead serious. Okay, who was.

[D]

[A]

Yeah, I do wanna know who won the game.

[C]

I gotta know who won the game.

[A]

Wait, who was playing?

[D]

The nuns and the nuns and the trans people.

[B]

It's so wrong.

[D]

That's a wild setup.

[C]

That's fucking the nuns.

[B]

No, listen, we had to play the nigga nuns. The nuns were extremely skilled. They would usually. They would kick. No, the nuns. It would be us versus the nuns. And most of the time they won.

[A]

Cuz they were.

[B]

They really play volleyball on a regular basis. Right.

[E]

And they don't have sex.

[B]

Listen. And they. Okay, this is what I'm saying. I'm the picture girl. One of my trans homie inmates. She joined the team that year or whatever. She was in the front. Bro. I took the pictures. Dog. The velocity in this spikes like, bro. Like she was them nuns up. Like right at the neck. Like we. We was. I mean I am dead up. When them pictures came out, I decided I was the picture girl.

[D]

You were the jail photographer. The transfer stuns.

[B]

I made 163 an hour. I was. That's one of the highest paid jobs in jail. And I took the picture and I seen I up close this trans girl. Them nuns up like the spikes were very impressive.

[C]

They couldn't handle. They.

[B]

She won that game for us.

[D]

Holy.

[B]

And we couldn't beat the nuns. Normally. I don't know the point of that story.

[C]

It was great.

[B]

No, about playing in sports. I do understand the whole thing. You don't. Cause if you transition, right, and you still have the strip that you used to have. Is that fair? Like even if we're swimming, if we're doing a swimming match and I'm just. Oh, through that water. You feel me? My arms longer, my reach longer. I'm a little stronger. Bitch. You gonna win even if you transition.

[E]

Speaking of transition, words we can move about. Let me just say something about Caitlyn.

[D]

Sure, of course.

[E]

Just take it back away from this for a second. Caitlyn Jenner to me is problematic because she benefited like a lot of white women. She benefited from a lot of the. Like white women benefited from civil rights more than a whole lot of black people did. There's a way that Caitlyn got through the door, became woman of the year, got all these things. Now she wants to close the door behind her for all the other trans people. That's the only thing I don't like. You can have your. That's what I meant by women's sports. A different matter. What I'm trying to say is she has been. Everything she's got as a trans woman has come from progressive politics and she's the most hardcore right wing whatever that you could imagine. I just hate that contradiction. She has a right to.

[A]

Sure.

[E]

I'm just saying it's what I don't like about Caitlyn. As far as trans women in sports. I think there is a conversation to be had about that. There is a reason after what from like the time we're born until maybe like, what, sixth grade? Is that when they start splitting up track teams and teams and stuff like that by gender? There's a point where we've decided that boys and girls are sufficiently biologically different that we put them on different teams.

[A]

No, we don't.

[E]

No, no, no. I don't want us to come off as transphobic. And I want to say this today.

[D]

I'm sorry if I did. I'm sorry if I did.

[B]

Trust me, none of us are transphobic.

[C]

Cool.

[E]

All I'm saying is that I think there is a legitimate. Despite all of our jokes up here, I think everybody up here cares about trans rights. I think the question just is, how do you create a situation that's fair in sports while having the conversation about these differences? That's all.

[B]

I think everybody up here cares about trans his rights.

[D]

I think we do.

[E]

I think everybody. I don't think anybody here doesn't want transmoke that rights. I think the question just becomes about sports. And I think it is a complicated conversation because there are women who are, quote, unquote, biological women who have high testosterone levels. I don't think they should play. So some of it isn't about whether you're trans or not. It's just about whether it's a fair competition. But, Joe, I sent you something unrelated to this.

[B]

Like, I'm stronger than most bitches.

[E]

They shouldn't let me play.

[A]

Whatever you sent is. Is bound to get played.

[E]

Yeah, I know. Did y' all see. Y' all know Pete Hexith, right?

[D]

Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Sort of like a complete idiot.

[E]

He's the Secretary of War, unfortunately, which is crazy in and of itself. So he was giving a speech where he was doing a prayer and he decided to give a very. What he thought was powerful famous prayer

[D]

that was written by.

[E]

Here it is,

[A]

call it Cesar 25:17, which I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17.

[C]

Ezekiel 25:17.

[B]

The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides.

[C]

The path of the righteous man is

[B]

beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

[C]

By the iniquities of the self.

[A]

Blessed is he who in the name

[B]

of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley.

[E]

The point is, he quoted Pulp Fiction,

[C]

seemingly be Pulp Fiction, and was dead serious.

[A]

Right.

[E]

He literally was quoting Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction, thinking he was reading from or interpolating. Ezekiel 25:17. This is where we are as A country.

[C]

This is why they laughing at us everywhere else, bro. Like we are the laughing stock of.

[A]

I want to shoot the one with Mark. I want the one off with Mark. Enough is enough, Mark. I don't ever want to hear what Peter Guttensberg is saying, Peter Hogsworth, about anything ever.

[E]

You know why you should. I'm gonna tell you why.

[A]

On a Saturday.

[E]

You know I'm tell you why. Because. Because I don't. I want people to be so outraged that in six months or three months or five months, whatever November is, I'm not to going with math. They actually vote. I need people to remember how up we are because if we pretend we're not up till November, then people will think we don't have nothing to worry about. I need people to know the world is on fire and we need to do something.

[A]

Let's go out and vote when it's time so these righteous, poor righteous Philly teachers could shut the up.

[B]

And if you're not gonna vote, don't get on your platform and tell other people not to vote. Just keep that to yourself.

[A]

Y' all please go out there, please, yo, so they can chill like these things.

[B]

He called us poor righteous teachers.

[A]

Damn stupid. Okay, we have. Diana Rossini has resigned from the Athletic after her cheating scandal with Mike Vrabel. The Athletic said this can go one of two ways. We'll allow you to resign or we're going to fire you. You can pick one. And she put out her resignation letter that said says, Dear Steven, please accept this letter as my resignation from the Athletic effective immediately. I've come to this decision with deep sadness, but with clarity about what is right for me, my family and the work I've spent my career building. You and I have already publicly addressed the recent attacks against me and I have nothing to add publicly to what we have said. I've covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout my career and I stand behind every story I've ever published. When the Page Six item first appeared, the Athletic supported me, unequivocally expressed confidence in my work and pride in my journalism. For that I'm grateful. In the days to follow. No, that's me about to be silly. Let me just read it. In the days that followed, unfortunately, commentary commentators in various media have engaged in self feeding speculation that is simply can't see unmoored from the facts. Moreover, this media frenzy is hurting. My eyes are getting bad. This media frenzy is hurtling forward without regard for the review, for the review process. The Athletic is trying to complete it continues to escalate, fueled by repeated leaks. And I have no interest in submitting to a public inquiry that has already caused far more damage than I'm willing to accept. Sapped, she goes on, but I think that's enough.

[D]

It's unfortunate. It's unfortunate. I'm sure she'll land somewhere.

[C]

Let me ask, do you think them terminating her is justifiable?

[A]

They didn't terminate her.

[C]

You said they gave her an option.

[A]

I mean, but they didn't terminate.

[C]

They didn't terminate her. Do you think the forceful resignation is, is justified?

[A]

I don't. Yeah.

[D]

I, I do not.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

They weren't caught kissing or they, they were simply at a, at a hotel, which you can make any inference you want, but it's not damning in my opinion.

[A]

Well, it's not making an inference. They had wording in her contract specifically that said if you do xyz, you're out of here. Anything that we deem to be unfit or not in morality alliance with. Yeah, they, they. It was all in there. So it was in there.

[C]

I would have to see the. I mean I don't have to but to change my stance I would have to see this specific wording where she. Because morality becomes subjective at that point.

[D]

Extremely.

[A]

Yeah, y' all find the quote. Cuz it's plain as day. Once you read the quote, they'll put

[C]

something in there in the contract saying like if you do anything, in this case, you know, the chief cheating part will be the morality part. If you do anything that causes some level of negative attention that brings back on us, we can let you go. And that's going to do that.

[A]

You can't. The coaches and, and, and the players when we're trying to interview them and build a sports company. Well at least and not have people find out about it.

[D]

But they were. We don't know that they were. Maybe they were, maybe they weren't.

[A]

Well, they did an investigation and this resignation was put in before the investigation was even finished. So I mean I don't think the lie was very good. She said she was on a girls trip. Right. The first thing they probably asked are give me the other girls to see. They got emails galore. They got texts out to wazoo.

[C]

They got it.

[A]

They got you.

[C]

They got what they need sometimes. We got you and it's still letting you save face. In.

[B]

In.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Yo, we're gonna let you. We'll let you resign instead of just

[A]

give you the action.

[E]

Here's what I, I don't get the contract Was up in June anyway, June 30th. I believe they could just let it run out.

[A]

Why?

[B]

Why not?

[C]

Now you got to justify what happens. Why we didn't resign.

[E]

Yeah. I'm not saying they should have let it run. I'm just saying we have to. I'm just saying this is another piece to this. We should think about why they did this. Right. Because it's not. If she had a three year contract, I could say, saying we can't deal with this. Right. They could have just let this run out quietly. Let her play out the string. Because remember, she put out a state statement afterward that it seemed like the athletic supported. Right. In fact. Yeah. The athletic gave this statement. The executive director, Steven Ginsberg, he said these photos are misleading and lack essential context. These were public interactions in front of many people. Diana is a premier journalist covering the NFL and we're proud to have her at the Athletic. They could have just stood up on that and just disappear. Never used her again for these three months. They do that all the time with people.

[C]

Or they could have got more information and knew more information was gonna potentially come out.

[E]

I'm sure they knew the information even when they made the statement. I don't think they believed it. I'm just saying in terms of. I'm just trying to think through why a company would choose that route versus the route.

[A]

It's not just a company. It's a. It's a sports company. And the draft is next month. But I'm sorry, not next month, next week. That's kind of important.

[E]

No, no, no. I'm with you here.

[D]

Very important.

[A]

I'm saying they are already done with like the credibility. Because the word is that all the A.J. brown scoops that she was the main one reporting on and the team that was gonna land him would be the Patriots. It was just a lot of. Now. Now you with the integrity of the company.

[E]

No, that. I'm thinking as a. That's what. I'm kind of pushing this to you. But all y' all really, like, if I'm a company, do I look. Do I come off better standing on my square and saying she did nothing wrong, just letting it quietly play play out? Or does forcing the resignation concede that something wrong and then hurt the integrity?

[A]

I'm going with the latter. Okay.

[E]

Because I'm worried that that makes your company look worse by now when you're dead to rights.

[A]

And I think in this situation, I think. I think she's done.

[C]

I think, yeah, they might know, but there's also oh, More information is either on the verge of coming out or

[E]

could be trying to get in front of something.

[C]

So let's get in front of this, and we're gonna address it with her by, yo, you resign. So we're allowing you to say things. We doing you a favor.

[E]

Got you. So I think.

[C]

Yeah, I'm saying the company is saying, we'll let you go because we know it's more information. If we keep you on here now, we're going to have to fire you.

[A]

And the company might have been hold. The company might have been aware this whole time and was holding you down because you're so great at your job. But once the cat is out the bag. Now, everybody, we got to respond. Yeah. And we got to respond quickly.

[D]

Josie, the girl that allegedly ratted her out, also got fired.

[C]

No.

[D]

Chris Freud worked for, I believe, I want to say, USA Today. She allegedly was the one that broke the story we talked about before, how they were shopping it around to a bunch of people. She was the one that broke it. And when Diana tweeted her resignation letter, she said, I'm sure you were told to submit this or you'd get fired. This is via tmz. I'm sure you were told to submit this or you'd get fired. Instead, don't let the door hit you on the way out. We know who you really are, are, and what you've been up to for years. It does so much to detriment to the women in sports, blah, blah. And then she got fired.

[C]

See, I don't like that because now you. You making it harder for yourself going forward, shorty.

[D]

That.

[C]

That.

[D]

That outed.

[C]

Yeah, that outed. I'm cool once the outing. Okay, whatever. Now they firing her. You still poking at her now you got fired. Other might not want to touch you.

[A]

And my understanding of that tweet was that she wasn't the one that broke the story, but she was just tweeting. Tweeting about the story.

[C]

Even if that. I see the company saying, yo, you.

[E]

You.

[C]

We trying to put this to bed and make it quiet. You still putting the company. And here you go. You out here jumping, attaching to it now. Now you even commenting on this is another story running the news cycle. Yo, you gotta get out of here, too. We trying to silence this. And like you said, the draft is next week. Correct me if I'm wrong, it's some honor amongst journalists, right?

[E]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

They. They stick together like a. Like a crew, right?

[A]

Clearly notable to you.

[E]

Yeah, no, yeah, they. They. They Usually do. And part of it honestly is cuz everybody got dirt.

[C]

That part.

[E]

Some like some blood in, blood out.

[C]

Like I don't.

[E]

You know, you do that to me, you don't know what's going to happen to you.

[A]

Yeah, it.

[E]

Let's go.

[C]

Free talk, by the way. Yeah, they tried to handle my dog on some.

[E]

Just cuz a like to get nasty

[A]

and try to hit him with a book of words. N baby, relax. Thank you, baby.

[C]

Pause too, by the way.

[A]

Yo, y' all didn't think that I know the podcast. Y' all didn't think I would let the podcast end without bringing. Without bringing J Electronica up saying Free Puff to my.

[E]

What he said?

[D]

Yeah, I. I'm pretty sure he said free stuff like he was advertising on.

[A]

Oh, let me play it again for you.

[C]

Oh no, that sound like Free Puff, my dog.

[E]

I thought somebody had a joint. He's like Free Puff.

[D]

Yeah, exactly.

[C]

By the way.

[D]

Oh yeah, he's handed out joints.

[A]

Yeah, his hands in his pocket. Who's his dog?

[C]

They tried to hang.

[A]

He had a dog like to get nasty.

[D]

He does get nasty.

[C]

Cuz he tried to get nasty.

[E]

Yeah, someone tried to do something. Animal abuse.

[A]

Can we hear from the. Yeah, let's hear Electron electrotes, whatever the name of it.

[D]

Quite frankly, I think it's a. Yeah,

[E]

you can't have this podcast in the chokehold all the time, man. How. How do you know that?

[B]

That's facts.

[C]

Oh, no, that's peace.

[D]

You know how easy it is to overdub something when someone's holding the mic like this? You can't pick up and say whatever. You can't read the lips.

[C]

So y' all gonna ride to the ship? Y' all a band just playing.

[E]

Look, this is the thing. All jokes aside, I see it a little different than J Elect, but it's not that different than what people up here said. I don't think he's defending the awful shit Puff did. I think he's saying, like he said they tried to hang my dog on some bullshit. I think he's saying the shit that he actually did the time for. It's no different than what he said the shit that he actually got time for. No, and I agree. I agree. I agreed with Ish.

[A]

Pass that bull shady shit.

[E]

No, no, no.

[A]

It's a dangerous shit.

[E]

We just said it last week.

[A]

It's a dangerous.

[E]

I agreed with Ish, remember? I said I think Puff did awful shit, but he got like the world's longest sentence for something that most people don't get often get paroled for. I think that's what Jay Electronic is talking about. I think the problem is, as I said a couple weeks ago, is when you say the small part and don't give the full context, you can walk away looking like you're just defending Puff.

[C]

Well, when JLX says. Because that entire quote where he says free my dog. Free puff. They tried to hang my dog just because he into some nasty. It sounds like I am defending Puff.

[E]

Yeah. And I'm saying, I think that if

[C]

he just said free puff or, you know, the sentence wasn't just about something like that. He's saying like that's what he's saying. That's not what he's saying. He's saying the sentence was not justified. They trying to hang my dog because he on some freaky.

[A]

Every time time I just want to laugh at somebody, we end up unpacking it.

[C]

Yeah, I ain't got to unpack it.

[A]

I just wanted to laugh at them y'.

[C]

All and they weren't gonna tell the truth.

[A]

Yeah, I don't. I don't care.

[B]

You have beat these niggas in the pod submission. So now every topic, they breaking it down. Cause they're afraid.

[E]

I think my head is harder than his.

[B]

And they hungry. And it's a chef in here that made oxtails macaroni and cheese and rice and peas. And they can smell it.

[E]

Wait, but no, no, but Edith not here.

[A]

Oxtail.

[E]

So I don't. I can't oxtail validate the quality. This food that drives.

[A]

That's like.

[C]

So the tails ain't plural. No plural.

[A]

Really?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Yes. One tail.

[B]

I can't wait to tear the mox. Tails.

[C]

You have multiple tails. Chop.

[A]

You don't have multiple tails.

[C]

One tail. You have a bunch of pieces.

[D]

Lot of meat on that tail.

[E]

Say thank you. Say thank you.

[A]

It's just oxtail, prodigy. Just one.

[C]

Now you got to check googling. Cuz he don't believe nothing that say he hitting grock.

[A]

I'm not mad. I would believe me.

[E]

I would just take a Joe Button grammar correction on face value.

[A]

I ain't mad. I'm not mad at him.

[B]

Joe was very nice with his words. There three cameras on the back of that galaxy.

[C]

The plural of oxtail is generally oxtails with an S in standard English, particularly when referring to multiple distinct pieces of meat.

[A]

This why you should trust me and not that.

[C]

That's grok.

[A]

I know.

[D]

Isn't that Elon.

[E]

Trust me and not that instant are very reliable. So is Joe Button when It comes to grammar. I don't know who to choose.

[D]

That's a toss up.

[E]

I'm torn.

[D]

That's a toss up. Quite frankly.

[A]

I don't care. Do what you want.

[C]

Did y' all hear about the jury found Live Nation and Ticket Match Master did operate as a monopoly.

[D]

I did. Then I read the article that says that they ripped off everybody for $1.50 and I was like, I don't think that that's accurate.

[C]

Yeah. I don't think that that part is accurate at all. And there's another hearing to determine because the states are pushing to have them broken up.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So there's another hearing that's going to decide the actual repercussion for it. Like they just say yes, we looked at everything. Y' all are a monopoly. Y' all operating illegally. So the next hearing and say now

[A]

paid off to get from under this. I don't.

[C]

They settled.

[A]

But if they settle then how would they. What's going with them?

[C]

I miss. I think there was two different cases.

[D]

I think it's a bunch of different cases.

[C]

Yeah. Cuz I think something like 39 states or something.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Well, I hope they resolve them after the Jay Z concert at Yankee Stadium.

[D]

I'd hope they get rid of the bots. That's a bigger issue than me. Their little service charge.

[C]

I'm going keep it a buck with you. Outside of the this might be a take that most people won't agree with. Outside of the upcharging in the bots and shit. To me they ain't really do nothing wrong. I think they saw an opportunity and saw a void that wasn't being filled and they filled it. Like when you start looking at what's the motherfuckers that just was on trial like CVS owns this and owns this and owns this and owns this. And they just basically refer everybody. And in a circle. That's some. Because you are. I'm sorry finish. But there are other services that compete with Ticketmaster. I think Live Nation owning all of the venues was just smart business in my opinion. So I don't know. But fix.

[D]

Fix the bots mix.

[C]

But. But the other. But the AV. The other avenues that compete with Ticketmaster are secondhand markets which they still buying the tickets through Ticketmaster and now reselling them through the second half San Marcus. What they're trying to do is a seat Geek or StubHub will now be able to sell you the tickets firsthand as well. You as the venue or as the artist could say, yo, I want to sell my tickets through StubHub. I don't want to go through Ticketmaster. I want to sell my tickets through SeatGeek. I don't want to go through Ticketmasters. So right now you got to go through Ticketmaster. That makes sense. And they own the venue, and they own the parking lot, and they own the merchants.

[A]

Should be. They should be take. Somebody should look into that. After the Jay Z concert at Yankee

[D]

Stadium, I would like to go to the concert and not spend $10,000 like I was looking at.

[A]

And the Usher Chris Brown joint. There's a few shows. Come on, man.

[E]

Y electronica.

[D]

Yeah, we're. Can't wait for him to get to the city.

[B]

Oh, my God. I am done.

[A]

That would be a Live nation booking. Anyway. That would be your. That did your tattoos book booking him. No, it wouldn't. Yeah. Nah.

[E]

Just for clarity, the thing we saw last month was a suit that was settled with the Department of Justice. But because the number was so low, the states, the 33 states that were sewer rock nations, decided to keep moving with this trial because they felt like the DOJ didn't do shit. They felt like $280 million was a slap on the wrist. So now they're making them pay up what they really owed.

[C]

They want to break them up. That's what the goal is. The goal is to break the up. They're gonna have to operate as separate entities. You can't own the venues and own the ticket sale service.

[B]

That's the only way it won't be a monopoly.

[C]

Exactly.

[B]

That's the whole thing. A monopoly isn't fair. It's so. It's like there's no. It's no opinion on a monopoly. A monopoly isn't fair, and we have to keep fair. So it could be fair because if not, everything will be a monopoly and nobody will have a chance to do anything.

[E]

That's why we have antitrust laws. Boom.

[A]

Pretty much.

[D]

Not that they typically enforce them, but we did that.

[C]

No, we did that.

[E]

We did today, y'.

[B]

All.

[D]

Man, what a day.

[B]

Oh, my God. We. We are such a podcast.

[D]

Such an organized podcast.

[A]

No, we have a few topics that we need to get to that we couldn't, cuz Mark wanted to talk about Peter Buttenheiser or some. So now y' all want to rush out of here, Y' all in a hurry. Great. Cuz we got music. We got music to get to. Yeah, let's see. Ice, you want to go ahead with this, boss man?

[C]

Yeah, man. I was actually really shocked, boss mandelo. Put a new project out. It's called. Called Chicken Talking Bastard.

[E]

And I'm sorry, what's it called?

[C]

It's called Chicken Talking Bastard.

[D]

I like the title.

[C]

I love the title. Chicken talking is money. I'm talking that chicken got you. Yeah. And he's literally talking. Me and Mona were talking earlier because she's like, yo, he kind of make the same song over and over. He said no. He says the same thing over and over, but I don't know how else to explain.

[A]

Explain it.

[C]

Yeah, bro, but this be. It works.

[B]

His first project was the same song four times on that album. And they all let me just go,

[C]

like, I don't know what it is.

[B]

Fentanyl in it.

[C]

He just.

[A]

He.

[C]

He talks a level of money talk. Chicken talking. Yeah, chicken.

[B]

I wanted to hate it so bad, but you cannot.

[A]

You can't.

[B]

It's weird.

[C]

I played it. I have no expectations.

[A]

It's.

[C]

It's. I saw 20 something songs. I was like, oh, hell no. Then it said 40 minutes or 48 minutes. I was like, well, they're short then. Okay, in and out. But them shits go. So if you into like that money talk, you'll with it.

[A]

I just.

[E]

I'm going listen to it today. Is there any track on there I should listen out for?

[B]

Is there anything about, like, black rights or anything?

[C]

If it was there, I skipped those.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

I don't want to hear my black. I don't want to hear my black rights talk from. From Boss Mandela. I would say how I'm living is dope. Motion party is. Is going crazy out here. Gas money, it ain't easy.

[E]

Okay?

[C]

Any of those

[B]

party is literally like buzzing everywhere.

[C]

Motion party, you hear? You open any these little igs and tick tocks, and that's what you're gonna hear.

[A]

Yeah, that's how I want to consume my music.

[C]

No, I don't consume my music like that. I want to consume my in the car.

[A]

OG's and TikTok doing 100 miles per hour. We got 100.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You drive fast like that?

[C]

Yeah, I drive fast.

This record is called Back and Forth K Lont featuring Missy Elliott. Let's go.

[B]

When I say, you know it's some hot. Let me say what I'm gonna say. Let me stay on the topic. Grown woman. That do what I wanna do why you tripping When I come right home to you? Why you so quiet?

[A]

The silence feel like sirens it looks

[B]

good Care what is a night might get violent When I fit too far you always get too firing. I make up Be there when you wake up.

[A]

That is Back and Forth by Kani featuring Missy Elliot. Kenni's album is scheduled to drop soon.

[D]

Not in love with that one, but it's not.

[E]

It's not bad.

[C]

I'm not mad at it.

[E]

I like it. I like the track. I love that bass draw. I could actually like the track.

[C]

I can hear that at the little day parties in summer.

[E]

Yeah, it feels good. Yeah, it's a nice summer here.

[C]

I'm not. I'm not entirely mad at it.

[E]

I'm not in love with it.

[A]

Yeah, I don't love it. Especially after Folded.

[D]

That's hard to follow up, though.

[C]

That's about to say. Do y' all think the Folded barge is too high?

[D]

That's a hard. That's a high.

[A]

Hard bar. I think it should be easy to follow up.

[C]

Yeah. You don't have to hit.

[A]

I think the bigger. I think the bigger your first hit, then we're more open to your second hit. It don't have to be. This just sounds a little formulaic to me, like label driven. That's what it sounds like. Let me just put the hot R B girl with the legend, hit maker, and whatever I get out the oven should be digestible.

[C]

You think Missy played a real part in creating that song?

[A]

Yes.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[E]

I don't.

[B]

You don't.

[D]

I think that she got a feature and did the feature.

[C]

Jumped on there. Did a little one, too.

[D]

Missy is way too brilliant in my.

[C]

Yeah, exactly. Where I'm.

[D]

Respectfully.

[A]

Well, we don't have credits on this.

[D]

We do.

[A]

We do.

[C]

I don't.

[E]

I.

[D]

She didn't produce it.

[A]

She write it.

[D]

Of course she wrote a rap.

[C]

She going to be on there for the writing.

[A]

Did she write any more than.

[D]

They don't tell you that. Any credit ever? How much?

[E]

I don't.

[C]

I don't.

[A]

I'm not. I'm. I don't know, but I'm unsure about that. I don't even know if you could get just Missy to feature today without her putting her pin on the R and B side. I don't know.

[D]

I think you could.

[C]

I don't think she's getting out of bed.

[A]

Me too. Just feature. Check.

[C]

No.

[A]

Versus writing this.

[C]

Check. No.

[D]

Well, she's still. Again, she's going to get a Songwriting.

[A]

She's going to get a writing credit.

[C]

Get a writing credit.

[A]

Writing your verse and writing the song. The premiere artist, the feature artist, especially

[C]

coming off of the colon. Yeah, she. I don't see Missy just popping up as, like, a.

[E]

But I mean, this. This track is supposed to be a.

[C]

Not.

[E]

It's supposed to feel like Aaliyah. It's. It's an. So I get why you put Missy on the track. Just for nostalgia purposes. And I. I.

[A]

Why is it supposed to feel like Aaliyah? Cuz it's called back and forth.

[E]

No, the. The whole song.

[D]

The bop, I guess.

[E]

The track. It ain't. The.

[D]

It ain't.

[A]

No.

[E]

That's literally the purpose of the song is to be a nod to Aaliyah.

[A]

But where are you getting that from?

[E]

From Missy and Kalani, who said this is a. This is a. Oh, no.

[A]

So you believe that?

[E]

I mean, it feels like an elite.

[C]

No, it don't.

[D]

It feels like. Yeah.

[E]

I think it literally sounds like a throw. It's a throwback song. They're trying to make a throwback song.

[D]

There's 12 songwriters on this.

[A]

Okay, I didn't hear that. All right. I didn't hear that. Shout out trying to go for Aaliyah.

[B]

The only thing about Aliyah, about it is the back and forth part. Other than that, it doesn't sound like it.

[C]

The name of this. Play it again. Play a little bit. Just a little bit.

[D]

The B. I could see how you would be like this. Sort of inspired by that bop. Sort of.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

I don't think it's all the way

[E]

there, but I'm just saying that was the point.

[A]

I'm gonna just take y' all word for it.

[C]

I'll give you that.

[D]

The drum program, to me, is an attempt at trying to capture that bop. I don't think they nailed it. I think it's an updated version, but I could see why you would use that as a reference. A reference for the inspiration, even if it's maybe exaggerated.

[A]

And be clear. I don't think that it matters how I feel about this song. I think Kehlani's album out of Here.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I don't think she even needed to put out a second record. She's out of here.

[E]

Yeah, for sure.

[A]

Can I play you guys some new RJ the weirdo?

[D]

I'm not familiar, but sure.

[D]

No, I don't think so.

[C]

I just looked up some on the Rossini chick. They said all of the pictures came from a PI like you said, that her husband hired. Yeah, and so he might have been the one up. You know what I mean? Giving the articles or leaking the information to Shorty, maybe.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Got you.

[A]

Listen, you wasn't creeping the best. If your husband is putting the PI on you while you at the red rocks like they on you, dog. If they on you, you wasn't doing the best job of it. All right? I don't have anything else I need to get to. Y' all don't seem like y' all are able to give good advice to this part of the show person. I'm gonna do it anyway. I'll try to get some advice.

We might have it.

[A]

Oh, Malcolm. Sex. Gmail or some. All right. Done took off. I have a crazy. I have a crazy ass ex.

[D]

Say, bro.

[A]

Yeah, word. Join the club. Get to the back of the line. She stalks my current girlfriend's IG page daily.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

She throws subliminal shots all day, every day, making it seem like we're in contact. It's been years since we spoke. I left the relationship after being cheated on. She seen the grass wasn't greener on the other side with Duke and now is determined to mess up our happy home with some delusional ideas. Idea that if my girl breaks up with me, I will run back to her. She sees how happy I am, and I know it's killing her inside, but she has to let go now. I have switched my. I have switched my phone four times over. None of my friend group is in contact with her yet. She still tries so hard to make my girl assume that we're in contact some type of way, Y'. All, I have no social media at all. I work hard all day and come home to my family. What can I do, fellas, to make this behavior of hers stop for good? To maintain a peaceful home.

[D]

Lock her up.

[C]

Nothing.

[E]

Ignore. Ignore.

[C]

Your girl's IG should be private. If she knows that Shorty keeps stalking her block, it should be private. And then secondly, and this is where the. How would Your girl know that short he keep posting subliminal. If your girl not checking her too.

[B]

Facts, right?

[A]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[E]

She's leaving on her girl's page, which again like you said, then block it.

[C]

Yeah, block her like yo, you still

[B]

have to entertain it to see what she's doing. You got to entertain it.

[C]

No, you don't.

[B]

No, I'm saying I'm agreeing with you

[C]

because yeah, the other chick still is.

[B]

What if she's leaving it? Even if she's leaving comments, if you go press it and look at what she's putting, you're entertaining it.

[E]

Yeah,

[A]

I got no. I got nothing for him. I got nothing for him.

[D]

It's tough. It's tough. Tough position to be in.

[E]

Yeah, you just gotta ignore it. Wait for it.

[C]

That is horrible.

[D]

If it goes up a notch, you gotta report it immediately.

[B]

Police call the cops. Rat.

[D]

Sometimes. Sometimes you get it.

[B]

What else you gonna do?

[C]

Sometimes you gotta rap ass.

[B]

You scared? Call the police. Boy, what I would have did.

[E]

We did it.

[A]

There you have it. That do be some. When the you cheat on your girl and then your girl get to talking to the girl you cheat with and the person you cheated, we get to lying about the y' all did together. Now you got to make your girl believe that the cheater's lying.

[E]

I can't relate.

[D]

Me either. Me either.

[B]

Good day you guys. Hopefully you've enjoyed this broadcast as much as we've enjoyed delivering it to to you. Such a lively bunch we have. They're so awake. Keep us in your prayers. Lord knows we need to be there. Until the next time. We bid you a due farewell. Adios, arrivederci, asta la vista. Au revoir. So long, goodbye. A simple head nod will suffice. Remember, life is a series of moments. And moments pass. So let's make this one last. You see through right through the heart of me.

[B]

You break down my wall.

[A]

All right. I can smell oxtail tails, whatever it

[E]

is, from the kitchen.

[A]

We gotta end this thing, man. It's time to go eat. Lastly, the baddies are insecure, the stagnant women wanna travel. And the closed minded women want you to teach them things. Grab a Tylenol. You might need it. Rest in peace to my girl, Ashley Robinson. We love you. We miss you dearly. What y' all doing this weekend? Anything. Anything, anything. Anything.
