[B]

Y' all don't think it's weird that he has exclusive Death row stuff?

[A]

No, no, no. We don't think it's weird.

[B]

It's not weird. It's very telling.

[C]

What's telling?

[A]

What's.

[B]

It's that you in death row.

[D]

He's in death row.

[B]

Yeah, right.

[C]

That hasn't been all Ice.

[A]

Once Karen Civil made the tweet all ice. Private personal business was out there and we knew.

[C]

I don't know.

[E]

I just know your brand deals.

[C]

No, no, he's in it.

[A]

He's such an ambassador.

[D]

That's true.

[A]

No, seriously.

[C]

No, no, no.

[D]

To the culture.

[B]

Modest.

[C]

No, no, it is.

[D]

You don't have to be modest. You can start.

[C]

So how y' all doing today?

[A]

Y' all feeling good?

[D]

Feeling good.

[A]

Feeling good. Feeling great spelling. Ambassador without ass. It was just right there. I ain't wanted you to breathe. It was just there. I wanted to let know I still had it. I'm letting the room know I have a $50 bet with Mark.

[D]

Oh, what is it?

[A]

That I will not mess with Ish for the first hour of the pod.

[D]

Oh, you might as well give him the 50. That was a good one, Mark.

[A]

That was a good one. My money on the wood.

[D]

That's a green. That's a green. That's a green, guy.

[B]

I won't put something on it.

[A]

My money's right there. Just in case I change my mind and want to pay him.

[D]

That's an easy one, audience.

[A]

This is the thing.

[D]

That's a Taco Tuesday. That's all. Fuck you.

[A]

Oh, my God. Nah, he took the bet. For real. Ish. Put the money on the wood. Glass, Mona.

[B]

I wish I had some glass.

[A]

Some call them Delaware crackheads. You was around. Go make a sale with Mel. Mona, with your selling drugs, I feel like y' all are like 2 and 300 in these types of bets with me. But I'm not going to mess with Ish. The first hour, the bar. I'm too competitive. I'm cool. But this is the trick, audience. Mona is in a great mood and she's a comedian, so she keeps saying things to Ish and Ice and I want to jump in, but I can't for $50 word. I'm too.

[E]

That's another win.

[A]

It's pride.

[E]

At some point he gonna be like,

[A]

fuck it after first hour. Thank you, Freeze. Thank you, freeze.

[C]

He gonna sit there and try to hold. He'll hold out.

[A]

Just because Mark hasn't gotten that yet. The rest of y' all know me a little bit.

[C]

He'll hold out just to win.

[E]

I think on most things he would. This is a tough one. He ain't seen Ish in a week.

[A]

Mark is. Mark is betting on I miss Ish.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

He missed two pods.

[D]

He got nice shoes on.

[A]

Wait, hold up. I have nothing to say about that.

[E]

You said you didn't know he was not gonna be here.

[A]

I was wrong. I made the mistake in thinking. I already said that. On one of the pods. I made the mistake thinking that he would be going one part, but it was two. I loved that. For my brother. More time under the sun, please, Joe. More time international. More time eating good motherfucking fish from the sea. Other water shit fresh. Yeah. Well, come on now. So I don't have nothing to say to my brother. Man, I'm glad he's back. I did m. My bad.

[B]

I was referring to his skin.

[A]

Go ahead, mon, go ahead. Look good.

[B]

That's all Y. Keep going.

[A]

Before the part. Oh, can't lose my bed. But you said something different before. The body was fun.

[B]

No, because before the pot, I didn't notice the tan and I thought it was probably a lie. But now I see it.

[E]

He looks super tan.

[A]

Anything I ask him, I don't want you to interpret it like it's play play time. Because I can do that.

[E]

Everything. You ever ask him.

[A]

I could do that. That you do. Where you make it sound political and liberal and it really be a joke. I can do that thing that you do.

[E]

That. Thank you.

[C]

Or Yash St. Martin.

[B]

Oh, okay. How was it?

[C]

That's dope. I ain't do much. It was relaxing.

[B]

No exturgeons, just chilling.

Little spa day, scuba dive. That's just eating him alive.

[B]

This is not fair.

[A]

That's dope.

[D]

He's dying. $50.

[A]

Don't worry about it. Nah, I'm getting my 50 from Mark. It's the arrogance in which he placed the bet with me. He placed the bet like this was the easiest 50 he ever made. And I ain't put. I'm not that pussy. I'm not that. And it's only hour. I could go hour. I'm just saving up. I'm just writing shit down. Soon as prize mix is done, I got so many questions. He ain't getting his sh off.

Why you ain't know your wife had been proposed to before, huh?

[E]

I knew she had been mad time.

[D]

Huh?

[A]

Why you. Oh, I watched the clips of Mark's show with his wife and.

[C]

And that guy.

[A]

I watch it. I watch it under. Through a different lens than everyone else. Like, I watch it under the guise of sheep be getting her off on this bum ass nigga. And if you watch it like, that boy is one of the most entertaining shows on television. So last night she sat him down. Hey, sit right here. He'd just be so innocent and pure. Oh, have you been proposed to? You've been proposed to before, right? Oh, yeah. Five times. I'm putting sauce on it now, but. Five times. But it was three times. And Marcus, I see it as a nigga. I see the real. He be trying to save face, liberal, fucking, fucking independent voter, whatever the fuck he is feminist. He be trying to sit there with the face like, oh, oh, oh, oh. I never knew that. See, I know what that means.

[D]

Yeah, why you ain't.

[B]

No.

[E]

He think I'm gonna be his ish for the next 42 minutes.

[A]

Listen, listen, bro, I gotta take it out.

[E]

I can get it paused I see it.

[A]

This is good. But is that. But no jokes aside, like, is there something that you need to know or should know before the marriage happens? Right.

[E]

So part of it is she told me. I don't consider it a proposal.

[A]

Three of them is a hair crack. That's like flexing. Now you stunting.

[E]

I mean, women get proposed to a lot.

[A]

In fact, did she. Did she rank yours?

[D]

Did she rank your proposal against the others?

[E]

I got the yes. That's true.

[D]

That's true.

[E]

I'm the only one that got a yes.

[B]

Listen to him.

[A]

Listen to the track, bitch.

[E]

Y' all can't be friends. Y' all bitches can't be friends.

[A]

Hey, you brought us together. Yo, you hear him? Oh, Nami, you got the yes.

[E]

Hey, that count for something,

[A]

Marcus all good.

[E]

When she was okay, one of them was her boyfriend when she was 16.

[A]

That's hate. That don't count. I'm not counting that.

[D]

That's hate.

[B]

Girls give proposals a lot. You're right about that.

[E]

I tell you, I got no, I think you do.

[B]

You do. Oh, girls get proposed to a lot.

[E]

Yeah. He said he used to chase you up the block.

[D]

Oh, shit.

[A]

So I said he did. Mr. Invincible. Mr. Invincible.

[E]

I believe it.

[B]

But.

[A]

Oh man.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Nah, nah.

[A]

Girls get proposed to all at 16. It can't mean anything.

[B]

A man will propose to you without a ring or. You know what I mean?

[D]

It doesn't count that I don't care.

[B]

It don't count. And men have proposed. He would have ring knowing he don't want to marry. He just want to get through the ring.

[A]

It don't count. If you ask the follow up question of do you still speak to him? Is he still around? Like do you know where he works? Then it could count a little bit. Then it could get to. It's my high school love. My first boyfriend, the one that got away. The one that. Oh, he's doing good now. I'm doing good now.

[D]

Now that's. That's implied. He's doing good. What if he's working at.

[A]

Well, I'm just saying.

[D]

[C]

Yep, yep.

[B]

He pulled up with this Cory. What did Corey say? He pulled up with the loudspeakers and shit, playing his song. It was corny. You know, girls used to do that in the video. And it was so crazy, it took me a second because I didn't really listen to that type of music back then. I'm like, what the is he talking about? Then it hit me, like, oh, like, it surprised me. It was cute and the ring was husky.

[C]

Where was you at?

[B]

At my grandma house.

[C]

I think you were on the porch.

[B]

He called me to come out front. Like, what did you get to. What did you get into?

[C]

But you was on the stoop.

[B]

He called and I came.

[C]

You came out and got out okay. No, he had the ring on the dash. He came to the window. Or did you get in the car?

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

You did the common ship.

[B]

I think I got in the car. Like I was bent over in the car talking. Then I sat down in the car because it was really not clicking that the song was the ring. And I was, you know.

[A]

But when it clicked, you was like, no.

[C]

So he just put it on repeat. He had it on repeat?

[A]

He just had it loud.

[B]

Yeah, he was corny like that.

[C]

It was quick.

[D]

Just spoke a little celebratory. Black and mild afterwards.

[C]

Philly only they don't have buildings. It's, you know, they two floors. No, but then you walk outside, you see.

[A]

We don't need the Philly Brady we got.

[B]

[B]

[C]

You got to the story. I mean you got to the story up.

[A]

Pick the brighter option.

[B]

What? No, but later.

[D]

That's crazy.

[B]

I feel like the. The. The proposal that was more real. Like the man that proposed me and I. And I thought we were really going to get married. He didn't get to do the neat thing either.

[A]

What?

[B]

He just said we had all these plans and I had got sick and I got nauseous. I swear he did something like that. Cuz he. We had all these plans and I got sick. It was cuz my birthday is Valentine's day. It's all the same. I'm born two days before Valent and he came in and I was like laying down. Didn't feel good. He was like, man, if you. The whole weekend up here, man. He just gave me the ring and

[D]

I was like, here you.

[E]

The whole weekend up here.

[C]

I think he handed in like the Vicks. Yeah, he was making sure he gave you some Vicks and handed in the Vicks.

[B]

Be smooth and all that. Every man don't know how to be romantic and all that.

[E]

Proposals are hard.

[B]

Yeah, they are. And that's crazy because you ain't got to be hard with a like me.

[C]

What's your dream proposal? Do you got one?

[B]

Nice. A solitaire diamond. Her. A solitaire diamond. Just a regular band.

[A]

A game of solitaire. Oh, shit.

[B]

And probably like the people that's important to him and who he thinks is important to me. And this, like, literally wherever we at.

[E]

Oh, you want, like, an audience for it?

[B]

I want the people that's close to us. Like, I'm a friend, family person. So people that's, like, in our squad, I would want them to be there.

[A]

Like, new a couch. Have y' all thought about how y'

[C]

all would want it?

[A]

Have y' all pictured it?

[B]

Oh, Have y' all ever done it?

[C]

I haven't done it. Yeah, I know how I'm doing it.

[B]

You've never proposed before. You either. How did I know?

[C]

Wild guess. No, I never did. I thought about.

[A]

You've been proposed, too.

[B]

Yes, of course he has.

[A]

Come on, now.

[C]

He has.

[A]

Look at him. Look at him. Oh, I got. Shut up.

[E]

Yeah, that's close. I feel like you're, like, 25.

[A]

Yeah, it might be 25.

[B]

Wait, what?

[E]

You basically call him a bad bitch.

[A]

25 didn't die.

[D]

It might be 25.

[A]

Have you though?

[D]

It might be a push at least.

[C]

No, shut up, yo. No, I thought about how I would

[A]

do it, though, Right?

[B]

How would you do it? Would you do some, like, crazy helicopter wild or just some smooth.

[C]

No, just some intimate.

[B]

Just audience or audience?

[C]

No, that's not really my bag.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

You ain't not getting along with none of the couples out there. Everybody was flying.

[E]

What kind of people you think he wouldn't get along with?

[A]

No, I don't know. I'm asking. I couldn't. That would be irresponsible if we never

[E]

do that up here.

[A]

Mad irresponsible. I don't know. It's just get alongable, though. Like, he's get alongable. His meat is weird. I don't know why I keep trying to put it on somebody else.

[B]

The thought of going on a couples trip makes my skin crawl.

[A]

If it's five other couples, one of y' all I'mma have a problem with for sure.

[B]

Like what? Oh, I hate the idea of that.

[A]

I don't even like how one of y' all look together. Like, I'm gonna figure out, like, I'll be with my good look. How do you get. Look at. Look, look. She ain't paying no mind. Look, she in the kitchen flirting with that.

[B]

And then somebody always got that real loud, bossy. And she just keep taking charge, trying to get us to do, like, shut the up.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

There's only room for one of y', all, right?

[B]

I'm not one of them on no trip, King. I promise. I just want to have fun. And I feel like when you go on a trip with people Y' all should link up once or twice, but being together every day is not the move. Like, once we land. All right, bet.

[C]

What, y' all gonna do your own thing.

[B]

We gonna go to dinner tomorrow. We gonna swim on. But every day, fuck, no. I wanna see who it is.

[A]

Every day I gotta shout Toy out. Toy is my girl, actually. I gotta shout Finesse out. Finesse is the fucking Finesse Jersey belonging to couple's trips, crafters, the shit he was pulling, who he talking? Hey, you ever watch the demise of somebody? You ever know? Hey, you ever know the demise before they drew? Oh, that trip was rough for Finesse. Boy, freeze. Who Finesse? Hey, a friend of ours. It's a friend of ours. A good guy. Real good guy. Shout out to Finesse. Finesse. But, nigga, what's wrong with you, dog? I'm saying something bad.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

How you ain't finesse. That's why you don't think it's bad.

[A]

Nigga, that shit ruined in front of us in slow motion. We was over there in the gazebo. His girl went to go tan. You now much in ruins your relationship gotta be for your girl to tan and not even check where you at. Nigga, move, don't come. You know your girl. That's what she knowing. Baby, baby, I'm gonna tan. The sun is out here noon, bitch. I don't care, bitch. But then Finesse walked over there. He tried to set up a little.

[C]

You blocking my son.

[A]

Hey, yo, Finesse set up a little. A little tanning chair. Asked if she wanted some. He asked if she wanted the tens. And she was like, you can get your back. We was watching over there like lip readers, but it looked a mess. And then he walked back over. There ain't no way to walk back.

[C]

Cool. Nah, you can't, nigga.

[A]

This relationship is a.

[C]

Been watching you. You can't walk back.

[A]

You try to call me after the trip, talking about, yeah, I had to let her go. Oh, no, sir. Yo, Finesse, love you, yo. I love. We love you a lot. It wasn't working out. Me, she was just. I was like, nah, I feel you on that, nigga. No, listen, when your man come to you and lie about how the breakup is going, you gotta roll with the lie.

[D]

That's a fact.

[E]

That's.

[C]

You do.

[A]

Yeah, you do.

[E]

You do.

[A]

Even if you know your man is lying. Gotta roll with it, dog. Let your man save face. Don't ruin that moment.

[C]

I agree.

[A]

Yeah, man, he was popping it, too. Wasn't working out. Yeah, I mean, I Was like, nah, I feel you on that. Nah, that.

[E]

That look.

[A]

That looks exhausting.

[B]

Joe is the worst.

[D]

He's the worst.

[A]

Well, that's why Toy don't invite me on the troops no more.

[B]

Good.

[A]

Cause we ain't the most amicable.

[C]

That's the wrong verb.

[A]

No, it ain't. No, it ain't. No, it ain't. It's the right word. I ain't amicable with this. I may have a problem.

[B]

I just think so.

[A]

If the chef dude ain't in there at noon when he's supposed to be getting it together.

[B]

Oh, you one of them?

[A]

Yeah, buddy. Sorry.

[D]

You don't know he's bougie.

[B]

Like, that's not bougie. That's like, asshole.

[A]

Yo, dog, we on vacation. We on vacation. You're on vacation. We paid the extra fees for a reason.

[B]

And this the thing, right?

[A]

To not have to go to the supermarket and get the fucking plantains ourself. And this the thing.

[B]

I'm with that. Right. But I also.

[A]

That's like a birth control medication cure. Plant the plantains.

[D]

That sucks. That class. Jesus.

[A]

That let you know how long it's been since I the Dominican. I'm proud of myself.

[B]

No, it's not that.

[A]

What happen on it.

[B]

No, no, it's not that you bougie because you get to the spot and the chef's not there at 12. For me, it's the, like, bitching about it. Shit happens. So it's like, okay, if this nigga do that tomorrow, now we spazzing. But today, if the nigga don't get it done till one, it's supposed to be 12. I'm not raised. That's just my personality.

[E]

That's me.

[C]

No, no, that's me.

[B]

I want to have fun. So I'm glass half full in it because of where we at and what's going on.

[C]

I agree.

[A]

Oh, that ain't me.

[C]

I agree.

[B]

Now, tomorrow we all could go apeshit. Cause he ain't come to.

[A]

I'm the nigga that opened the app on my phone to try to find a different house. Cause why I gotta go through this nigga?

[B]

That's why.

[A]

We all chipped in for this house. But I gotta go and just get right there. I can go away.

[D]

I'll go to God. Cause they'll hear somewhere.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Cause I know I'm.

[A]

Cause I know I'm annoying y' all too, right?

[B]

Because that's the thing.

[A]

It ain't just. It's not a one way street. Sure, y' all annoying.

[C]

Me.

[A]

And I'm annoying y' all and I'm

[D]

gonna spill your beans on the podcast or something, right?

[A]

Yeah, that's a fact. That's the best.

[D]

Let me just get him out of here.

[C]

Actually, let me just get out of here. Get out of here.

[B]

Why do y' all think it's always like on trips? It's so easier to beef with you. Because these people be people you see every day, all day. You love them. You don't find out how rough it gets till you go away with these niggas.

[C]

Six days. Ain't no. You can't get away. Ain't no. Yo, I gotta go to work in the morning, so I'm out. I'mma holla at you. It's none of that. You literally 24 hours for five or six days under the same room, and

[D]

you play this shit together and play this shit together with people, it's automatically

[E]

about to be seen people's personalities.

[C]

You could go on one on one with a chick that you think you feeling until you in that room with her for 24 hours for six days and six days, I'm never coming back.

[E]

Like on a. Like a trip with a woman. Like, the first time, like six days, that seemed like a long ass trip.

[C]

Nah.

[D]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[C]

Jesus. That's my way too long.

[A]

No, no.

[C]

Me and my girl, our first trip we ever took was probably six days.

[A]

Well, that don't count because it don't tell the other side of a story. Y' all are blissfully in love though, so who cares? Y' all fell in love. We talking about the horror story.

[C]

Did it before we all in love with somebody else.

[E]

But we

[C]

was probably in a relationship. Six months. Five. Six months.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

After six months,

[A]

I can't ask.

[B]

Six months with six days is a great.

[C]

No, I'm telling you, it was. It was about.

[B]

I ain't gonna lie. First trip after six months, we gotta do a three day drone.

[A]

Ain't no way.

[B]

Ain't no way we do that long.

[D]

Really? Two and a half days. Really? Yeah.

[B]

Two days together. We could fly out separately and meet.

[A]

Yeah, that's like perfect.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I mean? I had to work. I got off. Different time, blah, blah.

[C]

That'll make sense. Not trying to be funny geographically.

[A]

No.

[C]

No, I'm not gonna wish you in the world. No, I'm not talking about the fly part. I'm not trying to be funny. Neva, you are known to have, like, moved girls into your house rather quick.

[B]

Here we go.

[E]

No, I'm Not.

[B]

I promise you.

[C]

I'm not trying to be funny. I don't think right. So I don't understand how you couldn't

[A]

do a. I just started taking vacations with Said.

[C]

Oh, true. That makes sense.

[A]

I just started.

[E]

But.

[C]

No, I'm just saying. But you. You shouldn't be opposed to it. If you would allow a girl to move into your house in a couple weeks, like, that's a big step for most people. Different. No, that's bigger.

[E]

I don't spend that much time with anybody.

[C]

Moving into my house is bigger than me going on a four or five day vacation. No, I'm going to tell you why it's different, cuz if you can kick them out.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, y' all on vacation together, you can't. That's some heartless. I'm not saying heartless. I'm saying if it gets to that point and I can't vibe with this person, I can kick him out.

[D]

But if y'.

[C]

All, like you just said, on vacation, 24 hours. St. Ruth. That ain't neither one of y' all crib. Y' all both there. You can't just say, what. Yo, you leave.

[A]

I don't think he dislike me.

[C]

I'm chilling.

[E]

No, you think that's easier?

[C]

Well, he's. He like, yo, you could kick him out, my nigga.

[E]

I'm not saying, bro.

[B]

I'm not saying it in terms of being harmless.

[C]

I'm like, if it gets to that point and I can't be with this person. Somebody moved. They uprooted themselves. They moved into your home. Well, wait, we don't use lawn.

[E]

You just bring them from the club and they just never go back home. Time out.

[C]

Cause there's a part you missing.

[A]

They ain't really had roots.

[E]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[B]

They really have.

[E]

What?

[C]

They ain't really have roots.

[A]

You said uprooted.

[E]

That's what I'm saying. He just bring them home.

[D]

They just fly.

[C]

They didn't have roots. He said they have homes.

[A]

What the is we talk about? That is a narrative that you've started. Which it is hurtful that I've started most. But me, I let it rock.

[C]

You said that I started.

[A]

Yeah, sometimes it's hurtful. I didn't even know these girls that you moved. Sometimes it's not. This is the difference. Let me explain it to you. For me, I only ever moved in maybe one to two girls that I didn't really see a future with. It may have been fast, but you willing to see where this goes fast. The vacation is for the people that. Who gives a fuck?

[C]

Oh, see? Yeah, we different.

[A]

It's different. Yeah.

[B]

Why did you move them in, though? More like feeling bad for them or like they were in a basket.

[E]

No, I can tell you that.

[B]

Or was it to have somebody, like,

[A]

to be able to like, more time in house vagina?

[C]

More.

[A]

More. Well, yeah, but more times. More times than not, they were in a bad spot and had good.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Joe's a relationship guy. Okay, Seriously, like, yo, you wipe him up quick.

His presence, his lack of presence has. Has been felt. Extremely happy to have our good brother back. Next to him, the freeziest of them all. Stop playing. Big Freeze is in the building.

[E]

Alchemist.

[A]

Premium Alchemist.

[D]

Right. Webster Hall. It was packed out, sold out show. Prem and Alec are probably. Probably my two favorite, like, producer, DJ performers. They bring so much energy. They got routines on some old school alchemist. Makes this look like punk rock up there.

[A]

Like, it makes Alcastar rapping, too. Yeah, he was rapping.

[D]

But even just, like, the way he rocks with it, like, you're like, oh, this is a little more punk rock than it sounds when you just listening to it in the car. The headphones or something like that.

[A]

Yeah, I can see it. And he's got that albino look. So he's white? Yeah, but he's a spicy mayo.

[D]

That's crazy. Of course. Killed it. Your man Keno was usual. He had the time. He had a time.

[E]

What? What happened?

[D]

Keto got in a fight backstage, man. Not a fight. It was just a little kerfuffle. It was a little pushing and shoving.

[B]

What happened?

[D]

He saw someone that apparently he had some issue with. Oh, they give each other a little dap. I thought they're just playing around, like, ah. You know what I'm saying? But no, they were serious. It was just a little bit of a tussle. Homeboy got out of there quick. Keno tried to chase him down and thank God for Haleem first of all, he was there. He was.

[A]

We love Haleem. Haleem, you are a lifesaver. I'm surprised it got that far with Haleem even present.

[D]

Nah facts. He was over. We were all think we were having a good time. We thought they was just playing around. But more importantly, Melly Mel stepped in

[A]

and broke it up.

[D]

He broke it up. He had kind words, peaceful words for Kino. He put some knowledge in his me.

[B]

The whole time I'm sitting there thinking about beat Melly Mel like dressed to

[D]

the nines, looking like a million bucks.

[A]

Chains rings. Still strong, right?

[D]

Strong as still look like he's 25 years old. I mean the physique he brought.

[B]

He brought peace on site beef.

[D]

I don't know.

[B]

When I see you, you know what's up.

[D]

I thought they was just playing. Yo.

[B]

In the fact that he's serious when he say that. Clearly. Yeah.

[D]

Keno, his daughter's right there. Like Keo.

[E]

Wait, wait.

[A]

That kids are on site.

[D]

Keo still from Detroit now.

[A]

I'm kind of. Still I'm kind of. All right. So you telling me what. At the Prem and Alchemist show at Webster hall, our friend. When Keno friend of the show family saw somebody there, stepped to his business, got in a kerfuffle and all time legend Melly Mel is the one that had to break it up.

[D]

Thank God for Mel, man.

[B]

Or dream. Sound like a dream.

[C]

Daughter was there.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And his. Oh yeah, I forgot that part.

[E]

That's crazy.

[A]

And he did that in front of his witch daughter. That's important.

[D]

Yeah. Oldest.

[B]

The one that get in the bar. Yeah, she right. Cuz I told that when I.

[D]

It was a good time. Overall though, the show was great, man. That's what it brought the locks out, you know, I mean it.

[A]

It was lit. It's a pre show.

[D]

It was. Thank God that the green room was like. It was in the green room and it was like in the basement. Like you had to go up a couple flights of stairs and to get to the stage. I was like, all right.

[A]

It's a pre show Prem family. With that Alis family. That means that everybody here that they invited his family. One and two. Don't let that DJ premiere scratch. She could fool you. The people that he knows, I think are dangerous people.

[D]

Nice people. Nice people fight too.

[C]

Yeah, Premium people he knows, the people

[A]

he works with, the people he invited. So not only are we all family, but which it should be like a. What is Kano?

[D]

It was a family reunion vibe. Everyone, you know, everyone that was Ever been there? Was there. Everyone's chilling.

[A]

Good stuff with Jadakiss there.

[D]

Jadakiss was there. Sty was there. Yeah, they did. We gonna make it.

[A]

One of the locks.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

White men being white men.

[A]

Keno. Keno lucky too, cuz he ain't been in the gym for about two weeks. He lucky.

[D]

He's in good shape, man.

[A]

No, he is in good shape. Thank God.

[E]

Is he going to cook today?

[D]

I don't think that's going to happen. I asked him after the fight and he said, no, thank you.

[C]

Breaking up salmon tomorrow.

[D]

What kind of pickles are you doing tomorrow?

[B]

He love pickling some shit.

[D]

He does.

[A]

I got a question for y'. All totally irrelevant to the topic that we talking about.

[D]

Sure.

[A]

Okay. What do you need to see from your friend to. You ask this about every six months.

[C]

You know why you need somebody off?

[A]

What do you need? No, no, no, no.

[E]

To help.

[A]

What do you need to see from your friend to say, you know what? I should talk to this person?

[D]

Nothing. If Melly Mel are nothing.

[C]

No, no.

[A]

You talking about you is hot.

[C]

I don't need to see something. I just. No, I see.

[A]

I hear this story and say

[E]

I

[A]

need to speak to Keno.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I need to talk to him now.

[E]

Yes.

[A]

Fighting at a pream show in that

[C]

shit where everybody is fam.

[A]

Basically, yeah.

[E]

Especially when it wasn't like an argument had to happen. That.

[A]

That to me says it's unmanageable.

[E]

Now, Joe Keno's not an on site type dude. Right? I mean, he's a cool dude. He's chill. To me, that's a cry for help.

[C]

Why do we think he not an on site type dude?

[E]

Let me say this. Based on what I was told the argument was about, it didn't seem like it rose to the level of having to be on site, chasing up the steps just based on what the story.

[A]

And if you are on site dude, at 50 years old, I feel like as your friend I should know that so I can make a different decision.

[C]

And you might not. You might not be an on site dude, but if you under enough pressure or something.

[E]

And that's why.

[C]

You know what I'm saying? I don't know, Ken. I'm just saying.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

Certain times I don't want to be burned with on site people. Yeah, I don't.

[C]

Not at 50. Hell no.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

On site people don't. If it's on site, you don't have discernment and you don't have good on site.

[A]

Don't blend don't blend well in business world. No cuz on site don't speak to what the site may be.

[C]

True. No true.

[A]

Thank God that happened. The consequences could be and it shouldn't happen at the pre show. The but thank God it didn't happen at where the spot before the pre show.

[B]

I think the worst part is him chasing them. I think like everything with the chasing is like damn. So this person is trying to get away and you like I told you

[A]

to say so I can you up

[E]

like that's a little and then the store door closes.

[A]

Oh yeah. No. Come on Keno.

[D]

Come on Keno man. We love youo.

[A]

We love you. Thank you. Melly Mel.

[D]

Thank God for Melly Mel.

[E]

Thank God for Melly Mel.

[A]

I ain't gonna front. Melly Mel is the person I would I wanted to bring up a fighter.

[D]

That's a fact. That's what I want especially like decked out dripping chains all that like Melly

[A]

Mel is almost my number one pick to do it.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Any strongest Cause if he ain't going to do it on his strength then who in New York City don't respect Melly Mel. If Melly Mel tell you yo this fight is over off respect the fight should be over.

[C]

I'm not disagreeing.

[E]

Yeah, that's real.

[A]

That's real Keno man. And we ain't eating.

[E]

What I was just gonna say it's

[A]

been like three days and we ain't getting no.

[D]

More importantly.

[A]

Oh come on.

[E]

That's the real cry for help.

[B]

Hungry now.

[A]

Yeah. Dog walked in hungry bro.

[B]

These got these big ass expensive ass crab legs.

[E]

He just. Corey just threw them all away.

[B]

This thought. I mean crab legs big as these. Everybody at home crab legs are big as this. And they lock Corey locking eyes with me as he trash something. They're old. We throw stuff away like this all the time.

[E]

You that's that rich people.

[C]

It's like your crab legs could go

[D]

bad after a week.

[E]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

You can't eat them.

[C]

You'll be sick as hell.

[E]

I'd risk it.

[A]

Seafood

[B]

couple days cut that bacteria down.

[C]

Kill that fungi.

[B]

If you put crystal, garlic and butter in a bowl I think that'll come cut that.

[D]

I thought you talking about meth.

[A]

See that's. That's my thing. I'm done trying to change people life. Go. Go ahead. Eat that. Go ahead. Ain't listening.

[E]

I'd them crab legs up if he had threw them in the trash.

[A]

Dog don't want help but they like

[B]

knowing that Kino's in The clinker or whatever. And we don't have no crabs.

[A]

Like, it wasn't that serious.

[B]

My thing is, why the you got to call off. You ain't even rumble. The come in to work,

[D]

get a pizza. Pizza.

[A]

What do you guys want to do? What do you guys. What do y' all want to talk about today? I know we, like, 70 minutes in. What do y'.

[E]

All.

[A]

What do y' all want to start with? What are you most passionate about? What's important or unimportant to y'? All? I'm down to do it all.

[E]

Kanan.

[A]

What you say?

[E]

I said Kanan.

[D]

Kanan. Love Island.

[E]

Joe was cussing to smooth the out about Kanan before the show started.

[A]

That's not why I was cussing y' all out.

[E]

That's the story I'm telling.

[D]

That's funny. Ridiculous.

[C]

Some new music.

[A]

We want to hear some new music real quick. Parks, I am so glad that you said that. Now, I didn't write to that Neo, right?

[C]

I didn't wait up to Neo.

[A]

I didn't wait up for this. But I did wake up at 2 in the morning, purchased all the albums I needed to purchase.

[D]

Same.

[A]

We got Brand new. I ain't even gonna waste no more time. Brand new future, man, stop playing with Pluto. Let's go.

[E]

[B]

Wait a minute.

[D]

What's up?

[B]

This is it.

[D]

No, no, There is some good.

[A]

It's a whole album, but I'm saying

[B]

this is this entire song.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Yes.

[A]

All right. Y' all not understanding what's going on. Hold up, man. New future, man. New future. Let's go.

[D]

I'm not gonna lie.

[A]

Yeah, we got that. Brand New Pluto. It's out right now. Turn up this joint. It's Called Hollywood. Let's go.

[D]

Once I got to this song, I was like, oh, he just throwing everything on this.

[C]

I thought the. You know how Apple sometimes play some other.

[B]

What?

[C]

No. You're with. No. Go Back to Future.

[D]

Once I heard this shuffle, I said, he just throwing everything he did on it. Fuck it.

[A]

Clear the whole hard drive out, right? Let's go. Hold it later.

[C]

Let's go.

[A]

You ain't y'. All.

[B]

I like his hair making me mad. I like how his hair is.

[A]

Why do we go back here? All right, what y' all thought, Man,

[D]

I liked when he did that flow.

[B]

One start falling apart soon as he start rapping.

[A]

That's how he sounded.

[D]

Legit. Anyway, there's a couple good songs up the whole kitchen sink.

[A]

Not going to go that far. Quite a few.

[C]

Quite a few that I like on

[A]

what's quite a few?

[D]

That's probably 10.

[C]

It's probably 10. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Y' all can't find 10 good songs

[B]

in y' all pushing.

[C]

I absolutely can play them.

[A]

I don't have a plan.

[C]

I'll play them.

[A]

Fine. I'll wait.

[C]

Number one, you mean?

[A]

Oh, I guess. I guess I go through them for you. I'll go through them. You tell me what you think is. And listen, listen, listen. I'm having fun. I did almost delete this out my phone, but Pluto got more equity with me than that, so. And there were four to six songs that I enjoyed. There were four to six songs that I really enjoy, especially the last track.

[D]

I don't think I made it that far. I cut it off. What's that Hollywood shit?

[A]

Yo, the second half of this project for me is not the worst, but it not. It's not the best. It sound like Future kind of spoofing himself.

[C]

That's good. See, I like the first half.

[D]

Yeah, the first half is.

[C]

First half is I got the song number 9 to 10, and I was.

[A]

I took once you got to 13, 14, 15. He. He.

[D]

He was telling all types of in there to me.

[C]

You saying the second half. That's weird.

[D]

I hope.

[A]

No, no, I hope on the first half. I almost deleted that word.

[C]

Oh, now. It was the exact opposite.

[D]

Yeah, I was the exact opposite.

[A]

Well, at least just mention the songs to you. I don't want to.

[B]

1.

[C]

Track one is interview one two was fine. I like no Misery. I like Tank Top Pluto. I like.

[D]

Number one is Arms. It's adults that do it for you. I paid it.

[A]

I hate it. Okay, so you are saying track one is dope.

[C]

Track one is dope. Track two is dope.

[A]

Track one, interview. Here we go.

[D]

It wasn't nearly as inspired as the metro booming projects. Regardless, there was nothing on here that was.

[A]

That's the problem.

[D]

Like anything on those projects.

[A]

He could have kept all this. Nah, he could have kept. Every single one of this is going on the playlist. This is track two. One, two. I'm just trying to real quick. Yeah, I see what you mean on track one. Okay, okay, okay. Track two is ass. What other tracks you said? What other tracks you said I go down.

[C]

No, Misery was cool. I didn't like California Girls.

[A]

No, it's horrible.

[C]

Horrible. No, Misery is not good. 5 and 6. I with. I didn't like 7. Snow and sky.

[A]

Ami is.

[C]

You were saying that's where you took the call and cut it off. Cuz that's track nine. That was probably on the first half. One of my favorite joints.

[A]

Snow and Sky. Ammi. Let me hear.

[C]

Yeah,

[A]

That's the other thing for me. None of these songs are fire enough to be 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

[D]

I didn't know he had a Pharrell. I didn't make it that far. There's a Pharrell record on here. I didn't get there.

[A]

Shorty gonna pull up no panties. You know you gonna do it.

[C]

For now came up finessing.

[A]

Cut off the wrist with the glam. I guess I'm just mind my business. Yeah, I'm mind my business.

[D]

I wasn't super mad at it, except for the fact that it was way too many songs and there's a bunch of songs.

[C]

A lot of songs on here. It is a lot.

[D]

I think if I got rid of all that, it would be a. Okay future project.

[C]

I'm not mad at it, though. I didn't like the single initially and. And I'm like, if that's the album, I'm cool.

[A]

But I didn't have big expectations of it because I hated the single. I hated the artwork, I hated the album title. I hated everything about this shit. So the fact that it sounds like this to me is not so shocking. But I did listen to this on like Bluetooth this morning. I want to reserve the right to hear Pluto how he met. Yeah, I heard this in the morning.

[D]

Maybe a little bit of chemical must have some type of. Some type of alcohol, weed, something in the system. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah. So I reserve the right to change my mind on how I feel about this. But off first listen and I'm.

[E]

I, I, I.

[A]

He gets a little grace with me because of what he did last year. Yeah, like, it's tough to do that two albums back to back weeks. Like, if you want to put out some throwaway shit, go ahead, nigga, get your money. You came off the Drake feature. A few of these songs I would have liked more if he never did the Drake feature. Cause some of them, I think when it gets to 13, 14, somewhere around there gives me that feel. But again, I reserve the right to change my mind. Go, go, Pluto. I didn't delete it.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah, I with it.

[D]

I will say the Dream album felt pretty good, though. I didn't get all the way through it.

[A]

But the Dream album, shout out to Dream. Check out our interview with the Dream on our patreon. But the Dream album felt gave me a feeling like TI's album gave me just like throwback.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. For sure.

[A]

Time capsule.

[D]

Yeah. Without being like it didn't feel dated

[E]

at the same time.

[D]

Time, though.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

He say old. Love that T.I.

[C]

album.

[E]

I'm old.

[A]

I do, I do. I absolutely love it.

[C]

We do.

[E]

That's. That's. That's.

[C]

That's up there, bro.

[E]

That's up there. That's one of my favorites this year.

[C]

It is that Dream album, though, to like. Like you said, it's not that it. Because it didn't sound dated. I don't want to call it dated, but it do sound like the dream that. Like the introduction to him that people felt kind of. I don't wanna say fell in love with, but like, oh, this nigga's really dope. That Dream is on this album. So I don't know how my wording incorrectly, but it sound like you made the music that made niggas a fan of yours. Like that track one sounded like it could have been on an older album. But it's not necessarily dated. It sound fresh.

[A]

Yeah, it's like modern. That's why I keep using the term time capsule. Cause dated has a negative connotation.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

And this is not when I say it's not negative.

[A]

Yeah. Nostalgia logic. Just take. Just take me back. Issue that fun at our Dream interview. He came here popping on us.

[D]

Oh, yeah, he did.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

He came here popping all of us. Yeah. Two up. No, two up.

[C]

He's gone.

[A]

No, you're too going. You're too going. But we had a good time. We had a good time.

[D]

We did.

[A]

I don't have any other music that came out. Nor do I have any other drop the country album. Oh, please cut the now.

[C]

One of the songs is fine.

[A]

Good for him.

[D]

I tried to find it.

[C]

I ain't had an album. The. The single he came out with. Oh, a song I released a couple days ago.

[E]

Was I. I haven't heard it.

[D]

I didn't make my way through it. I didn't know where it fits in my life. I was like, I don't think this is gonna work around. Like, it's too clean and poppy for, like, the white boys. That, like, acoustic guitar crew. And it's.

[C]

They're gonna be mad.

[D]

Two country.

[A]

Yo, some of y', all. When y' all run to Nashville to do the country album is like when all us left our major label and went to E1. That's how it's coming off. Seriously. All y'.

[E]

All.

[A]

Shaboozi did it. A few other niggas did it. Got it off Lil Nas X. Now, though, all y' all trying to catch a country slap. Sorry, dawg. I don't want to hear none of that shit.

[E]

He tried to tap into his Arkansas. It's called Highway 79.

[A]

Oh, I'mma go to Highway 79 and toss it.

[B]

Do any of y' all like country music, though?

[E]

I do.

[B]

I do, I do.

[A]

I do like it when it's good. I like Jolene.

[B]

Mean, I like Bessie Cly.

[A]

You know, there a few country songs that. When they.

[E]

After the civil rights.

[C]

Yeah, I like a bunch of them.

[B]

No, no, not a bunch.

[A]

What Mark say about the civil rights thing? I always block him out when he started with the civil.

[E]

I know you hate that.

[B]

Yeah, no, no.

[C]

I went to the Kane Brown show last year.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

Was dope.

[B]

Why? Why did you do that?

[C]

Go to the Kane.

[D]

Why?

[A]

Oh, yeah, he's dope.

[E]

Why do you think?

[A]

Joe Mona talking to.

[E]

Oh, I'm sorry to be interrupt.

[A]

I don't even know who game Brown is.

[D]

It's. It's. It's an hour now. You're good. You clear?

[A]

Mark, get my money.

[E]

I got you.

[A]

Get my money.

[C]

I went to Kane Brown show.

[B]

You know that ain't fair, bro. This was quiet like a hooker.

[A]

And like I said, I was going to be crazy.

[C]

Competitiveness.

[A]

You want to push it to 90 minutes if you.

[B]

Yes, I do. If you want to play the game, you got to at least be actively potting on some normal.

[A]

I skirted the line with him.

[B]

But you avoided conversation with this. You know, this is he, like, taking care of you. A baby with this boy. And you avoided conversation on your trip.

[A]

Did you do more than you do at home? Yeah, now that we. I get to no, same.

[B]

Y' all on vacation. Like butt on vacation. Vacation. I'm giving up. Butthole on vacation.

[A]

Somebody.

[B]

You took me somewhere. I'm giving up.

[A]

Somebody is. Oh, you ain't sure who Daddy was on vacation. That's what the vacation is for. Now hold up. Hey, at home, I can slack a little bit, but out here, I'm gonna learn you a lesson.

[B]

During the interview.

[E]

I don't got personnel power. Go ahead.

[B]

That was such a team builder thing, the way we bully beat out together. I love that you didn't bully him.

[B]

All.

[A]

Philly was you and Mark.

[B]

[D]

Yes, it was.

[C]

Yes, it was.

[A]

It was only you and Mark.

[B]

It was not me and Mark. You see how do though? You see that? But it's cool. We gonna take it. Cuz. That's just. That's a Philly thing. Put it on our back and just handle it. But either way. No, but in the interview, we were talking about something. I think the seat. Seatgate came up, and I was like, nigga, if some kind of way B, Dot and Ish end up in the same nurse home, right? And they're right by the fire exit, right? And a massive fire breaks out. Like your favorite old lady you play fucking pinochle with. She's burning in front of you. Ah, burning, right? And you're getting. And Ish is moving his electric chair out of the exit, right? And there's only room for one more person on the ambulance. One more person to get out this nursing home. B. Dot gonna die in there. Like y' all don't know this, my nigga. He's taking that shit to the after to life. It's up. You want to sit in seats ass.

[E]

Enjoy that seat.

[B]

Enjoy that one.

[A]

What is wrong with y'?

[E]

All?

[A]

Man?

[B]

Up for rule. I know my boy. He don't start nothing, but he'll wrap it up. For you.

[D]

There is something wrong with y'.

[B]

All. Y' all up love be that though. Finish with that gorgeous man. Waves in the waves on Spencer. They hate him with him.

[D]

Holy shit.

[C]

That was crazy.

[A]

Yeah, I guess one of her baby daddies ain't the fondest of me. I guess if I think about it. I never thought about it.

[B]

Nobody's baby daddy likes your button.

[C]

You say who baby daddy.

[A]

I think it's one of them.

[B]

No baby daddy like.

[C]

But why though? See you. It's a thing like if.

[A]

Well yeah. Ain't that.

[E]

But no.

[C]

Cause what happens is look at me.

[A]

Look at me.

[C]

N be lying like people be lying. Like people be lying. So the guy could be lying on his baby mom. The baby mom could be lying on the baby dad. That happens. But when you could physically see that. You know what I mean?

[B]

And I think you misspoke the. The. It's always the baby. I'm lying on the baby dad. The baby dad life. Because it's a perception thing.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So it feels terrible because some people just lie.

[C]

Some just be lying.

[E]

But in general she won't let me see them.

[B]

It's a bunch. But you know what's crazy? There is a bunch of black men that are experiencing that they can't see their kids. Some women know that a man won't take you to court right. To get the visitation and they don't let you see your kid.

[E]

I seen both. I seen both seen women lie on this. I seen men lie on this. And then like you said, sometime it's a perception.

[A]

You seen women lie on this for real.

[C]

I think that people admitting that the work really.

[A]

You saw a woman tell a lie before. Wow. Who knew that happened this.

[B]

Just ignore him. Just ignore him.

[A]

What year was it? Bc I think. Women lie that horrible.

[B]

I think anybody right you having relationship and you decide to get your partner back by withholding a child. I think that speaks to your character. You're a horrible person. Cuz there's men and women that have been in the middle of relationships of parents just because you mad about some. I think it's the wor. It's literally the worst, nastiest thing you could do to a person. When you think about it, stepping between them and they. And I think a lot of people don't realize that this kid turns into an adult and this adult's gonna ask you a question and what can you say when you're really mad because he fucked your sister? You know what I mean? You can't do that. It's wrong. Just wanted to say that.

[E]

Ish.

[A]

You got it all.

[D]

She did it.

[B]

I hate it. It makes me so sick.

[A]

Nah, I mark up last part. Last part. He was getting in his. All women are right, baby. He was about to kill that shit. On the.

[E]

It's never my. That's never my position.

[B]

Never. He literally never shut the.

[A]

Try to help on his. On the big blocker on. On. On the big ticket topic. Boy, he was coming in here. I said hey, she lost a kid that Mark. Wait, I didn't see that. Let me get more information on that. Let me look that up. I. That didn't come across my database. Mark started showing he couldn't defend a boy.

[D]

So

[E]

what actually happened is. Before that you mentioned that I was already agreeing with Joe. In fact, Joe started the segment off

[A]

that evil ass lady.

[B]

I mean regardless of the girl lost custody of kids or not, everybody sees that video and thinks the same. That it's bullshit. Right. You see that video and think.

[C]

But not the bad.

[E]

We all had that conversation.

[B]

Look, punch me in my stomach. That ain't enough.

[C]

I wanna hear.

[B]

I've been through some shit.

[E]

Well since. Since that conversation we had. She was arrested.

[D]

Wait, hold on. Can we get to that after.

[A]

You damn right she was arrested. You gotta produce a kid if you had one. What the fuck are you talking. That's what I was confused about. Before we get to. Hey, you took the phone. Where the fuck is the kid?

[C]

Since 2019 you have to produce a

[A]

kid if you had a kid.

[B]

Kid.

[E]

I'm sorry, Park.

[A]

You think you the first one came up with that idea? Van Moose, the kid never to be heard from again. No.

[E]

Think about it.

[A]

But when the cops come, you got to produce them. When the welding check come. Hey, I hear you big dog, but where is the kid?

[B]

[C]

No, but when you preface it on domestic violence, you can. You can.

[A]

If you lost your kid and the dad is looking for the kid for eight years and the kid is 17 now was 10 last time the earth heard from the kid. No, you can't call a cops.

[C]

That was another state. You think you got it off? Yeah. And you ain't think that this was

[A]

[C]

No. You ain't think this was gonna go as viral as it did? You thought this was gonna That's Big

I don't know if y' all heard the story about the pilot on American Airlines that lost his job in this economy. Economy. Hey, look what I did. Because he got his dick sucked by his co. Pilot.

[E]

Oh, that is not where I thought you were going.

[C]

I thought you talking about the other story.

[A]

Yeah, homeboy. The pilot was getting. Or the co pilot was getting his dick sucked by the pilot. And can you believe they fired him behind that?

[E]

Wait, getting it sucked while they were flying?

[A]

Yeah, while they were flying.

[C]

The plane is autopilot most of the time.

[A]

All the time.

[D]

Anyway.

[B]

He had sex at work. Work, though, y'. All. That should be a perfect sex.

[A]

I mean, dog.

[C]

Yo, I'm say no. It was a little turbulence. Her face just ended up.

[B]

Bro, we potting, right? We pie, right? We pie right now. Imani, come in.

[A]

Manie.

[B]

Manny, go in the back and butt. Nobody has an issue with that.

[A]

He's done it.

[E]

That's different.

[D]

If it's in the butt, it doesn't count.

[E]

He did it.

[A]

Then they wanted to come out here and us. Remember?

[E]

Oh, remember? Then I wasn't molested in the cold.

[B]

I hate these people.

[C]

These are crazy, bro. I am up there with some lunatics.

[A]

He. Them girls in the back, they came from the back wanting some of us. They wanted some more. He ain't seal the deal. They try to get me in trouble.

[D]

That's crazy.

[A]

I don't think the dude should have lost his job, but apparently. First of all.

[B]

Are you serious?

[A]

I'm with. I'm with.

[E]

Freeze.

[A]

Some of this flight is.

[C]

Hold up. Who. Who was the sucky? Who was the sucker? The pilot.

[A]

The pilot was sucking the co pilot's dick. And they both was dudes.

[B]

I knew it was niggas. I knew it was.

[E]

Oh, they were both dudes. That's what I.

[A]

It's a dynamic, huh?

[C]

It's a power dynamic.

[A]

Excuse me.

[C]

If the pilot is higher than the co pilot. That's why he's sucking his dick.

[E]

He got to be. Sorry, was right there.

[B]

God help. They can't, like. Can we have a mature conversation about. No two men can't chill and suck each other's dicks. Like, grow up.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Excuse me.

[A]

Well, I don't want to drag this, but if they doing that there, then they probably both. Or one. At least one got a family that don't know about this behavior. And this is the only place you could sneak and try to get good.

[E]

That ain't the only. Listen, here's why. That's.

[C]

Have mad layovers. Pilots and flight attendants are customarily laying over somewhere in another city, another state, another town. You can get it off. You was on horny time.

[B]

You don't have mad. What if the time is right? The time is right. This motherfucker ain't going to suck itself.

[A]

When the last time you get to it?

[B]

Get to that.

[A]

What if the you was ready? What if the you was laid up with is your co pilot for the day? Y' all find out in the morning. Oh, you want to play? Oh, yeah.

[C]

It's just you saying that's the only time they could get up them on some freak shit.

[A]

But now this is the other thing, because my question was. Well, my question was, how did he get caught? How did you find out about this? Well, apparently there was turbulence on the plane.

[C]

Don't tell me that, Trigger. No kidding.

[A]

There was turbulence on the plane that nobody ever got on the loudspeaker Speaker 4. Neither one of the pilots, they was doing their own turbulence. So the stewardess girl goes back there to see, hey, why are you not announcing this turbulence?

[C]

And put the seat belt light on and all of that type of.

[A]

She was getting his off, man.

[C]

So she walked in on him.

[A]

I'm on his side even more now, dog. I don't need the turbulence announcement either. We going to land or die.

[C]

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Now I'm on a side.

[A]

Nah, you bugging now I'm on the airline side.

[B]

We're doing.

[C]

That was upright.

[B]

We're doing flight attendant service, right? I'm midway. I just spilled three Dr. Peppers on a old white. This is writing me up for this. I would have knew that if you would have hit the light and said TUR was coming. That's your whole thing. You work.

[C]

You got to make these.

[B]

Yeah, the flight attendants in the p.

[C]

You lack it on. You've been up here long enough. You know when you hit that first buck to go sit your ass down, bro.

[B]

You might not start the June if you know it's coming.

[C]

Get your June jumper.

[E]

See his chat.

[A]

The she went up there. They had that rocking up there.

[C]

That's what the turbos was for.

[E]

Shorty snitched.

[B]

Y' all think my. You're not getting your dick sucked around me if I ain't getting my dick sucked. So, yeah, I'm telling on you straight up.

[C]

You're Shorty ratted on the nigga.

[B]

I done came in there, said you sucked at me, too.

[C]

That was wild. That was wild.

[A]

All right, we got it. Enough of the dick sucked.

[C]

Did you hear the other airline story?

[A]

No.

[C]

Pilot story. That was going around. That's what I thought you was talking about.

[A]

No,

[C]

a pilot, a flight instructor. Instructor had a student up there in a plane with him and looked at her and said, all right, you know what to do. Opened the door and just jumped and left. And left the student in the. In the plane to land themselves.

[E]

Oh, I didn't know this story.

[B]

So, Ice, what was the point of that? To get her ready or.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

He died.

[B]

Oh, he killed himself.

[C]

But I'm. I don't know what the point was. But imagine you.

[B]

The point was the suicide.

[C]

No, I'm just saying imagine. Imagine you are a student and now you up here in the plane. Dolo dog.

[B]

That's insane. Is that real?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[C]

It's a real story.

[E]

I thought you were gonna say 10 rapper slot commercial. That's all I told us. The thing on the board.

[C]

You can go to that one too.

[E]

No, that one YouTuber. You fucked me up with that.

[C]

But I was asking when you said that, I was like, are we trying to get Big boy put on that list? That's the list I was talking about. Because now they keeping a list of the rappers that they're find finding out are flying commercials and they're making a

[A]

big deal out of it, bro. The what?

[C]

No, they putting. They putting a certain rating on them participation. No fans are. All right. So it started with Rick Ross when they caught Ross in the terminal. Oh, Ross is flying commercial now. Just over the weekend, they caught Pusha T in the terminal.

[E]

I hate the word caught.

[C]

Well, that's the way they making it seem like, hey, we caught you.

[E]

Like.

[C]

Like I was hiding. Like I'm high. I mean, I'm at. I'm catching up flight. So the problem. I ain't gonna say problem. It's a problem where certain lyrics and that they're saying is like, all right, well, you on people saying, y' all not on this level. We fly PJ. We do XYZ. But I catch you in the terminal, bro. It's CEOs of multi billion dollar corporations that fly commercial. You know, hip hop will force you to spend some money. That ain't got that.

[E]

You ain't got that.

[B]

Yeah, and just in general.

[A]

No, no, no, we ain't gonna do that. And I didn't want to jump on because talk about the. That to. To them have talked about flying.

[C]

And that's why I said Ross is a little different. So Ross literally, in one of his lyrics was on that flew commercial.

[A]

That's always what you did. Yeah.

[C]

Your plane's missing the chef.

[D]

Chef on the. On the.

[C]

Not a chef.

[B]

That is.

[C]

That's a bar.

[A]

That is a microwave.

[C]

He said, we jet something Y' all jet smarter like like sitting here with the whole rap.

[A]

He's done it take rap so serious.

[B]

It's art, it's creative. And the thing about hip hop is it's always been extremely braggadocious. Right. You never had 15 for real. Even though you rapped about that. So when a pop out with this big fat bum ass baby mom, you're

[C]

going to get clowned.

[B]

Me personally, any arena on the Internet or in life where you counting another probably pockets. It's like why the you worried about if I have it to fly private if I want to spend that expense. The you laughing at flying commercial. For all you know is got a bag somewhere.

[A]

I just want to jump in to say that we have said all of this with the Rick Ross. You know how we feel about it. I'm just telling y'. All. I don't want us to repeat ourselves every time a rapid flight commercial.

[B]

Sorry. I just was brave enough to finally say how I felt. It's so scary here.

[E]

But wait.

[B]

And I finally had the bravery to just bring it out and boom. Stepped on.

[E]

Do you feel unsafe?

[D]

You're so brave.

[B]

The question shouldn't be is do I feel unsafe? The question should more be have I ever felt safe.

[C]

You still trying to go shopping, right?

[B]

That's the thing about it. I feel like with the shopping, the level of comfort that would come with better fabrics, cashmere suedes, leathers that I know that I would have almost like a guard a veil for being stepped on constantly.

[C]

Make sure it's the good cashmere too.

[B]

Scrimp or you know, he does a lot of this. That's rough too. You know what I mean?

[E]

But with the right call. Jona got your $50, by the way.

[B]

I got it with like armor or like a. You know what I mean? Or he just get Kino tough ass in here. Get Kino back in here. He'll handle my life.

[E]

You heard me right, Joe? No, they that that 50 is. Is Mona as what 50 girl.

[A]

Let me see what this te is. Is that true?

[B]

Is that me?

[A]

I'm such a messy. Maybe I leave Cardi alone. Oh, somebody in the mall talking about that's why your husband left. You see? Yeah. Somebody went over there. Yeah, that's. That's corny.

[B]

Cardi ain't the one to do that to him. She gonna give you what the you looking for.

[E]

Yep.

[A]

And pay the court. Court fees, no problem. Pay the lawyer fees. She gonna go in there dressed to the millions, looking good, smelling good. Now that's my thing. Hold up now. I will say this about. About my good sister Cardi B. Shout out to Cardi B in the Bronx and all the rest of the Bronx girls. I absolutely love y' all down. I love you down. I love you down. But I mean, I did see the clip. Cardi B was with the Nigerian soccer gold goalkeeper that all the girls just go crazy.

[B]

I never seen it. Never heard of it.

[A]

You never seen. I'm. I'm sure.

[B]

No, I never seen it.

[C]

You got them in your phone.

[B]

I seen that AI.

[A]

They were saying a clip of our topic. Yeah, you should try it.

[C]

Set us your screen shaver.

[A]

He so my screen saver.

[B]

I seen the AI. But a married woman would never be in a face like, please. It's Cardi. One step under the virgin.

[C]

Just so happened to be in the same place having a light conversation. And she smiled a couple.

[B]

And he just so happened to have a nice back. You see the muscles in that boy Back boy.

[A]

Oh, the. Why I'm looking for it, if you know what the I'm talking. Everybody know what you talking about.

[B]

Sarcastic.

[A]

All right, so about the car girl. Cardi, you gotta. Oh, my God. Can you not just completely melt in front of, like, if we don't. We don't even hear the conversation. And from afar we could see that. You silly boy. Buddy. In front of this yo, come on. Yo, be cool is all I'm saying.

[C]

Personable.

[E]

Stop it.

[A]

All right, I'm done. Yo, be cool, Ma.

[B]

After some of the things that's came out. Came out about her, you still feel that way? Which the she with currently she's in a relationship, right?

[E]

I don't know.

[A]

I don't know nothing about.

[B]

Oh, okay. Well, I don't want to speak on it because I don't know either. I assumed that she was still with her baby five and Stephanie Diggs. I thought they were in a relationship.

[A]

I have absolutely, absolutely no idea if she's still.

[B]

I feel like because of some of the things that's happened to her in their relationship. Allegedly. If any of that stuff is true.

[A]

Do y' all believe that Stefan Diggs

[C]

is with Damn Joe?

[A]

Like, enough of this. Let's just take all the air out the ball. Oh, my God.

[B]

This is what I. This is what I believe.

[E]

Crazy.

[B]

This is probably my fourth time trying to get this off men that have a alarmingly amount of sex. I don't care if you're rich. I don't care what you say situation is. And you just. It no rhythm of rhyme. No. No real, like, flavor you don't like them yellow or thicker thing. You just. Those men are typically gay. That's my personal opinion. That's what I've seen in my years. They're gay. It's like they be fighting this demon of what they really, really want. So they'll. They like hypersexual about anything. And when I bring it to y', all, what I said was, you think

[E]

they don't like women, or you think they just want to. Everybody.

[B]

I think that they want to be fucked in the ass or mouth by a man. Meaning. I think that they. I think that they. That is what they want. I think that because it's so hard to come out because of obvious reasons, right? And because of social pressures, I think that they go for women because the automatic thing that does is like, put a veil. Cause now you a player, you can't be gay. You're getting a lot of pussy. At a point in our lifetimes, all of us sitting here, that was an excuse. Juice for a while say they gay. And the person that say all them, he gave people, like, yeah, now we know that's. But at a point, that was like a saving grace. Oh, he's married. Oh, he's, you know, So I think.

[E]

I used to think what you thought. Oh, go ahead.

[C]

I got a lot of box in my life.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And ain't never. Not near. Not a near. Never thought about no man.

[B]

Let me ask you this.

[A]

Never.

[B]

Because that's a big.

[C]

That's it. I'm done.

[E]

You want the money already?

[B]

[A]

We pass. 90 minutes.

[B]

All right, listen, you. I hate when y' all do this anyway, but you saying you get a lot of cool got.

[A]

He didn't say get. Don't try to set my boy up out of here. Even though I think it's still get to.

[B]

You said you got a lot of right. That's not the guy that I'm describing. The guy that I'm describing, whether this got a gut or one eye shoe she's getting like I'm talking about.

[A]

He don't have a standard. Understand.

[C]

I know some like that too. I don't think that that. That's your theory. I'm a rock.

[B]

Honestly. It's not a theory. It's a fact. There the. That you know, and that's the thing. All you have to do is lock in on the type of. I'm talking about. I'm not talking about the player. I'm not talking about. I'm talking about the Guy that anything moving, he almost blow y'.

[A]

All.

[B]

Like, he the you got.

[A]

He don't blow me. He don't blow me.

[C]

[E]

That might be the sign he's getting Phelps.

[B]

You know, I bring Phelps up here. Phelps was just. I out with somebody on my team, right? Phelps said he had to stop him. He like, yo, that. You don't know that about him, but he shoot at everything. Sometimes you gotta stop him. And I said, you got to stop. He said, yeah, as a man, sometimes you stop your man. Like, yo, chill. That's. You feel me? I'm like, what do you mean? He said, man, that was going at a a in the club. Look like KRS one, man. I stopped him, man. Like, I stopped that man.

[C]

Yo, I know that say, yo, I take them 800 to 80. Blind cripple or crazy. I know a bunch of like, never

[B]

heard that in a sexual thing. That's only for fighting.

[C]

That's not true.

[E]

[B]

In the history of have said I 800 to 80 and this the thing. You're my brother. No, let me do it.

[A]

Joey, tell him to shut the.

[B]

It's a charge, and it's the thing.

[B]

This is my brother.

[A]

[C]

You've never heard that saying?

[E]

Every time I heard it. Yeah, you've heard it saying before in prison.

[C]

Thank you.

[E]

You never been in prison.

[B]

Stop. I was. I try to walk out almost to see if y' all will be like, oh, Damon, don't leave. But every time I do it, nobody glitches. I like, I'm out. Hey, Joe, don't even blink. It's so crazy. No, listen.

[A]

It's the thing. Crazy.

[B]

You my. You my big brother. You very. You're gorgeous. But you getting up there and you got the sayings confused. We say 8 to 80 on some rumble. I fight a I smack. And any disrespect me can get it from 8 to 80. Blind cripple and crazy. No man has ever said, yo, you could get this stick from 8 to 80s. Blind cripple or crazy. And the fact this argue me down is why he's the best podcast.

[E]

I gotta say.

[A]

And as much as I love audience this story. I'm sorry, Marc, not for.

[C]

Yes, you have.

[E]

I have.

[A]

This story is only coming up because Chris Griffith I think is his name is the gentleman that is trying to sue Stefan Diggs. And they're saying that he has produced over 100 pages of DMs and text messages of explicit nature. Now we remember when this story broke.

[D]

He was just playing, man.

[A]

That's a lot of playing. 100 pages. 100 pages of playing.

[D]

It's like when you answer the call from the spam people and you just with them, you know.

[A]

I mean I don't have 100 pages.

[E]

I do that.

[A]

But a hundred pages, you might have

[D]

100 pages of the spam.

[A]

Call me if I count. If I count. Maybe. But.

[C]

But listen now the same call.

[A]

That's a fact. And it ain't gonna never be able to be mistaken for Sexton.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Facts.

[C]

And the spam ain't sausage facts.

[A]

It's different. And the other thing about that is.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Like when he.

[C]

When.

[A]

Because his story broke months ago.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And Stefon Diggs version of it, if I'm not mistaken, is that this guy had stole some clothes and stole some shit from him. So Stephan Diggs. It's the only one way to settle this.

[B]

He owes me. You gonna give up settling?

[E]

I mean it.

[B]

I want my time.

[E]

People taking things from you before,

[B]

mind you, who else still get Sweatsu other than somebody that's you.

[A]

Hey, Mona. Hey, Mona. No, no, no, Mona. No. That's where I was going. Like how did the Was able to steal your.

[B]

I see that close in proximity to your.

[A]

Hey, my got stuff. Bitches took all my good hoodies.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Took off. Some of my favorite sweatpants just disappeared.

[B]

That's true.

[A]

I'm not saying that about homeboy, cuz I don't. I don't pretend to know or not know. But I don't think it was as simple as this. Stole some clothes from Stefon Diggs. So Stefan Diggs had his people jump on him. I don't think that.

[B]

What I will say is whatever's going on, Cardi know. So it's like I love Cardi. Cardi was all. Has always been very loving to me. I don't want to never. You know what I mean?

[A]

Cardi put that on a car bone plate and handed it to that soccer that pussy was falling off of the bossy. But I do like that about women. No matter how tough you are, no matter how successful you are, rich, famous, no matter who your baby dad, your boyfriend is, all women have that thing in them in front of whoever that person is for them. The guy that they don't know that that unlocks that. And you can see it in their eyes and they mannerisms, how they moving.

[C]

Tone.

[A]

Yeah. So it's just funny to see that. That from Cardi with this dude. Even though, I mean, all the agree with the dude. So they was rooting Cardi on. That's why I love hoes.

[B]

Some know how to pull that out. You too.

[C]

Yo, they got a. They got a. Bro, they got a real hoes.

[A]

Cheer you on. Hoes ain't got to be the ones getting the dick put in them. They going to cheer you on. If you think they want to, go ahead.

[C]

Ho.

[A]

And I'm not calling cardio. Please don't mistake that.

[B]

That went double platinum. And group messages was happy as.

[C]

Damn. They have a real. Where they taking women all different ages, all different ethnicities.

[E]

Oh.

[A]

Not that they're 8 year olds and got. Let's please stop.

[E]

Thank you.

[A]

I'm done. I'm done, I'm done.

[C]

They got women like old white ladies saying, this is a. This guy looks like God. And they go to an old black

[E]

lady, then they go to a.

[C]

You know what I mean? And they just go. And it's just all of them talking about this dude as he walks through. He's him right now.

[A]

Nothing I can say about it. Yeah, yeah. Anything I go up to is gonna sound like hate.

[C]

It's gonna sound like hate.

[A]

Anything I.

[C]

Or are you giving any props?

[A]

No, he's.

[C]

Oh, you give a nigga any props?

[A]

No, no. Yeah. I don't not give a any props. But I mean, he did.

[B]

Young boy got them. Got them. Got them lines.

[A]

His hairline is sprayed on.

[C]

Hairline.

[E]

What?

[D]

Oh, that's all right.

[A]

That's hate. He's killing it. He's killing it. But, yo, you studied the crazy. Can you blame her, G? Smack the out of you. Sit your ass up.

[B]

His hair sprayed on.

[A]

I mean, it looks like that.

[B]

That's what the it is.

[A]

You know, I don't think care about that though, at all.

[B]

You are y' all crazy.

[A]

I don't think care about.

[B]

I'm not going to say that we don't care, but you get what y' all care about. We get 10. You get 10,000 points for having a nice hairline. So if you. If it's a little up, you might not not get talked to. But if you do have it, that's automatically like a thing with us.

[A]

Don't care about.

[E]

I love.

[D]

And in fairness, neither do we. Really, bro?

[B]

Thank you, Parks. Wow.

[D]

If something is crazy, but that has like, some up Lashes or something. You're not gonna be like, I would never.

[A]

Yo, bro, that's funny. I was gonna ask y', all, would y' all be able to put aside Stacy Dash's political views to a pop? Yeah, she has.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

She dropped a little thirst trap out there. Nah, the 60 year old is killing the thirst trap game right now. Stacy is beautiful.

[B]

She is. She's beautiful because, you know, she came about having a drug problem that we didn't really know about. When you look at them times where she was saying she was on drugs at the time of her life, she was gorgeous then. She's a very attractive girl.

[A]

Would y' all be able to put aside her political views to bone her?

[E]

Yes.

[D]

Yes. We ain't talking. We ain't doing C. And I might throw in a little.

[E]

Absolutely not.

[D]

I might throw in a little liberal. Liberal sex play.

[B]

N. Absolutely. But we've had. We've had these conversations before, I'm sure. But I think these days of times, like, even if normally that's. That wouldn't be the thing now it has to be that way. Like you do not just going to super heavy Trump supporter. You're not.

[E]

So I get the job.

[B]

Well, maybe y' all would. I don't know. You're black ass. You right here. You would. A Trump supporter.

[C]

I am in a committed relationship and I'm only.

[B]

I hate when you do.

[A]

If you were single.

[E]

Crazy dude.

[D]

Excuse me.

[B]

Let me get this out of my brother.

[A]

Go ahead.

[B]

If you were single.

[C]

Hey, Mona.

[B]

And it was 1998 and you were fresh out of high school, would you. Somebody in the climb clan.

[E]

Oh, the clan is another different level.

[A]

No, Wu Tang Clan.

[B]

Which questions that need answers. No, seriously. Would you. If you were. If you were single in this day and age, would you a open maga kind of girl?

[C]

Just her.

[B]

Yeah, babe. Would you? Her?

[E]

Yes.

[D]

Oh, just no.

[B]

That's crazy.

[C]

Let me tell you something.

[B]

How do you talk to this person, to them?

[C]

When I was 20, I might have

[D]

beat the brakes off the clamp.

[C]

But no, no, I don't want to fuck nobody I can't have a conversation with. So they would turn me off so I wouldn't.

[E]

Oh, yeah. That's how I feel too. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I love peace.

[E]

I love to talk.

[B]

I hate being around all men is fucking.

[E]

This is the truth for me. At 20, I would have. At 30, I might have. If it was like borderline, like when I was in cable news, like if somebody was on the other side, we were debating that might have.

[C]

Could have Worked a nice smile.

[E]

But like, not like crazy extremists. Not like a crazy extremist. But now, yeah, I'm with you now. I got.

[B]

So I see that you like deciphered it from your age, but it's not anything different, just the political climate. Because I feel like when you were in your 20s, you would have never imagined things to be this way right now. So the way things are right now, people just openly going back to that old school open racism, you would still fuck a MAGA at 20.

[E]

I wasn't thinking about that. I was thinking with my dad. Yeah, okay. I wasn't even thinking, big daddy King, I get the job done. Mad random. He wasn't talking about rumbling when he said 8 to 80. He was definitely talking about.

[B]

Oh, he was. Yeah, okay.

[E]

But when I'm. When I'm thinking about 8 to 8 is crazy. I mean, it's an old expression. I looked up to find where the expression came from. Not that y' all care, but yeah, it came from the military. It was an old. Because they used to use it in the military to talk about like who was getting recruited, who they were going after. It was, it was like anybody could get it kind of thing. That's where.

[B]

So when it hit the ghetto.

[A]

But once it started being, being used it as.

[D]

We should have changed.

[E]

We should have changed it.

[B]

What I'm asking is once they hit the ghetto, right, what did we use it for? More sex or fighting?

[A]

Word.

[B]

Because I've only heard it in a fight.

[C]

I've never heard it.

[E]

I've only heard it in pimp chip talking kind of situation. But I want to go. I'm changing. It depends. I want to. I wanted to just say one more thing because I. I'm thinking about bisexuality. I'm thinking about pansexuals and all those kinds of things. I hear how that sounds.

[D]

You're going with this.

[E]

No, no, no. I'm just thinking like I'm want to assume that everybody. That's everybody really wants to dudes. Some people might really want to Everybody.

[D]

Oh sure.

[E]

That's that, that, that's all I'm saying. Cuz like a lot. Cuz a lot of times we stigmatize that and think, well, if you having sex with dudes and women, you must really just want to have sex with dudes. It's like n some dudes.

[B]

But no, that's not what I said.

[D]

Well, both.

[E]

No, no, no. I know you said people were indiscriminate. I'm saying they could be sexual all over the bat.

[C]

You kind of said like they were women almost as guys. Or to say, say, yo, I really want to dudes, but I know I'm get castrated publicly for dudes, so I'm all these chicks to cover it up.

[B]

No, no, that's. It came off wrong. Fast version. It's an internal fight. So I'm doing all this so this could feel normal to me.

[E]

I'm just saying I don't think everybody's having that internal fight. I think some dudes just like to a lot of people across the board.

[A]

Yeah, that was terrific. That was terrific.

[E]

So Bone Thug, this is where the

[B]

fear comes in at first.

[A]

No, not Bone Thug. I got something else supposed to fight, man. That was fun.

[D]

Bone.

[E]

That was Bone

[A]

Marc is funny then I give him credit. Mark is good sometimes, man. He gonna get that chain back one of these days.

[E]

People put it on one of these days. See y'. All. He doesn't respect it. It's still. It's still sitting there.

[B]

It's something about being brave enough to bring a topic and just getting stepped on in the fear that comes along with it.

[E]

He did it to me.

[A]

So now he's talking to y' all about the pilot that lost his job. Let's see where y' all stand on the San Antonio spurs announcer that lost his job because it came out that he was having an affair with one of the players sister.

[C]

I think it's horrible.

[A]

And he lost his job behind this. His wife or girlfriend or I'm unclear, but I think his girl. Whoever he's with.

[E]

Nah, I get it.

[A]

Started posting a whole bunch of stories and outing.

[C]

She created like a real. Acting as if it was him talking. So she was talking in first person as if it was him saying, yo, yeah, me and my lovely wife been together, blah, blah, blah, this long. But guess what? I popped such and such sister and da da, da, da, da.

[E]

And it was hated.

[C]

No, no, it was real. It was her. It was a dialogue. And so they fired him. Only reason I will say that he should have been fired is if they have a anti fraternization policy with the players or they relatives. Cause we've heard some shit about the spurs before.

[E]

Player's sister's a little bit of a leap.

[C]

Players wife ain't player's mom.

[E]

Yeah, but this was the player's sister. I thought you said sister.

[C]

If it says relatives, if it's general, it's relatives. If you want to cover it in a blanket way for legality reasons, you'll put their families so if I'm the

[E]

announcer, I can't fuck George German's.

[C]

If you work for this organization, that seems a. To me, I think it's whack. I think that's saying from a legal standpoint, if he signed something saying that he can't fraternize with these people or their families, then yeah, they got them. Outside of that. This is some goofy.

[E]

Now. Now the thing I was.

[A]

I'm sorry, Mark. And I'm in the middle here. I understand both sides and could argue both sides. But listening to Ish. Let's say I the player's sister and I'm. I'm guilty. Dead to rights. You still got to do an investigation. Like I shouldn't be fired immediately. Well, maybe off of these. These. So the social media behavior, go look into it.

[C]

They might have.

[A]

Yeah, they could have come back or

[E]

they might have already knew and said.

[C]

Yeah, they might have known.

[E]

A lot of times it seems like you do what you do, but if it comes out, you gotta.

[A]

I was gonna say the other.

[C]

The other. The other reason for the fire.

[E]

I've seen that a lot.

[C]

Now you bringing negative attention to the organization for whatever reason back to that morality clause which is very gray. So now whatever you did out there, you're viral. Virality can lead to you being fired.

[E]

Here's.

[C]

Spurs have had history of this, like where players was other players wives. So I'm sure if they put a clause in, they can't just say wife. They got to cover. You know what I mean?

[B]

Are you saying. I'm sorry, Are you saying like they. They're like factual?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Whoa.

[C]

I think.

[A]

I think either way, I would sue the organization.

[C]

I'm not mad. Depending on what you signed.

[E]

It depends on what you signed.

[A]

I mean, what I signed is open for interpretation.

[E]

True. Maybe. Right?

[A]

I mean, no, no. Maybe it will be open for interpretation

[E]

unless you sign something explicitly says you can't like have sex with the players family. That's what I'm saying. I don't know how you're saying they might be.

[C]

And unless you sign something else that prevents you from suing them, you would have to. You would have them shits in there too.

[A]

Now, if it didn't say I can't fuck Victor Wembanyana's sister or fucking Stephon Castle's sister, then it's gonna be open for interpretation.

[C]

You run the risk of spending all your money on attorney fees against a powerhouse of attorney fees. And everybody don't got it.

[E]

I'm thinking about the spurs side of this. Too. You're the announcer. They take basketball very serious in San Antonio. You're in everybody's household. Everybody. Every day. Moms, dads, brothers. If the community has decided that you're a piece of shit and you're narrating every spurs game 41 times a year in Texas, 41 times a year, I can see how that's just bad for business.

[C]

That's what I'm saying.

[E]

Cause some of the conduct. I'm saying this to say, some of the conduct policies, you should say, you're

[A]

paying Texas to be a lot cleaner than I know it to be.

[E]

They like to pretend it is. I'm not saying it's really that clean,

[C]

but they stand on their image doing

[E]

that Bible belt shit. They like everybody. And a lot of times you sign conduct clauses and moral clauses basically to make sure the team doesn't look bad or that no representation of the team looks bad.

[A]

Right.

[E]

Cause if he's just fucking somebody's sister, that's different than cheating on your wife to fuck somebody's sister. And that combo could make you look like a piece of shit to the people who actually tune in every night. And if people are saying, I'm not tuning in to hear that guy, I could see how that would be bad for business.

[A]

I'm going to court and saying, she had a different dad.

[B]

Yeah, I think it.

[A]

I got a fucking. Find a loophole around. They ain't whole. The whole sibling.

[C]

I just think. I think it's stupid if he ain't sign up. And I think it's stupid.

[A]

Some of these players. This is be all right, man.

[C]

Y' all getting like he ain't a coach.

[E]

Some of them don't.

[C]

He announcer, he ain't a coach. He not somebody that. You know what I'm saying? Like, they do that all the way around, bro. They tell the cheerleader same like, it ain't. Can't talk. They can't say hi. Exactly. That's what I'm saying.

[A]

And your sister be all around the craft services is begging for it. Yeah. Eating hot dogs, begging for it.

[B]

Y' all in the part. Y' all leaving now.

[C]

Control yourself, big dog.

[A]

Control your horny.

[B]

Y' all are leaving out that he's cheating on his wife. He's exposed.

[A]

Well, we don't know that that was his wife.

[B]

We don't know who was his.

[A]

That could have been his girlfriend. The announcer. The announcer could have had a girlfriend.

[B]

Oh, I'm sorry. I could have.

[A]

I thought we said a fair.

[E]

We assume wife.

[D]

What if they had an open relationship relationship. Okay.

[E]

But also in Texas, the fans don't want to hear that. Let's say that even if they did.

[A]

Yeah, I don't hear that.

[E]

People watching TV after church on Sunday don't want to hear that the announcer has an open relationship with his wife and his.

[A]

But they also wouldn't have heard it if the girlfriend didn't post those.

[E]

And that's the up part. That's the revenge part.

[A]

That's hate.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. So that's the thing I think just we talked about on this podcast like somebody worked in some kind of company. This woman, and she got photo with this other big guy and they. And they fired her. They let her go. And it's like the company must have represent themselves in a certain way. We don't even want to deal with people that are getting into affairs and shit like that.

[C]

We don't want to deal with it because again every headlines has our company name attached to this bullshit. We don't want to deal with that. To Joe's point, y' all have to now prove that I did these things. You can't just take away a nigga's livelihood off of the fact off a premise of, yo, this might make us look bad or I don't know if it's true.

[E]

And that's why I say a lot of times teams put a turn a blind eye to shit. I've seen shit in a couple organizations where everybody knows what's happening. It's open secret. But the moment it comes out.

[A]

Whose sister was it? I couldn't figure it out.

[E]

I don't know.

[A]

I couldn't. The last names wasn't matching up to me. Unless it was that light skinned rookie boy with the braids. Parker was Brian and I am sidebar, whose sister is it?

[B]

Did y' all hear Ice when he said that like every time your name gets mentioned, it's from our team or whatever. That's my experience working here. That's how I know this is a big deal. Cuz anything I did, it's like don't call me white girl from the Joe Button show gets court stealing foot cream

[C]

out of Walgreens because that attracts more

[B]

Yo, I hate it. Don't you hate it, Joe?

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

In hand in the you search Demona. It's Demona, Joe. And all the Demona did this year.

[D]

Damn.

[B]

Yikes. Sucks to be you. Such a great person.

[A]

But who's the players?

[C]

Who's the player sent it to you?

[A]

I don't know this.

[C]

You ain't gonna know him, he ain't

[A]

gotta be a stone man if you don't get his job back. Yo, thought he fucked somebody's sister.

[D]

That was important.

[E]

The sister.

[A]

The 13th man. The 14th man. Yeah. Yo, we his sister. Yo. Calm down, be cool.

[C]

And she choosing.

[A]

I told his vassel or somebody. Tobias Harris. Hell, no. This. What's wrong with you now? I'm about to look him up.

[D]

How many points does he average? That's important.

[C]

Idiot.

[A]

I got to look this up. I got to look this up now. I can't believe it's be knowing all

[D]

the sports team he does. He does a lot of te in general. Honestly.

[C]

Got agency.

[D]

He talks a lot on the phone.

[A]

I've never seen this player before in my life.

[B]

Let me see him.

[A]

Is he in? Like who Your sisters get bobbed y.

[B]

You can tell his sister. Cute.

[A]

Yeah, his sister. His sister.

[B]

Nice.

[C]

You can tell she all right.

[A]

Is your sister. Let me see the sister.

[B]

Let me see the sister is.

[A]

Anyway, thoughts and prayers. What el. What else is important? Unimportant.

[B]

What else? What else? What else?

[A]

What else is it.

[E]

Is it too early for us to do our TV thing?

[A]

To do our tv?

[D]

You want to talk Emmys?

[B]

No, I'm talking about Master Joe. Is we allowed to talk about Canaan and Love Island?

[E]

Love island and Canaan?

[A]

Oh, I thought you wanted to give praise to USADA Shakur.

[E]

Why would we not want to do that?

[A]

I always want to do that.

[C]

Of course.

[B]

Every day, all day.

[E]

Free our political prisoners. Rest in peace, Diner. Free them all.

[B]

Free. He announced her death in tears. And these still playing around.

[E]

They're cruel people.

[B]

I mean, I'm full of.

[A]

I tell you that.

[B]

Shut up.

[A]

Yo, what's wrong

[C]

with you?

[B]

Cut that out. This I love a little dark crazy.

[E]

I'm more worried about the fe. I'm not.

[B]

It's out anyway. We ain't keeping it. It's out. That's crazy.

[A]

Come on, give me your tv. Shit.

[E]

Where should we start? So, first of all, I didn't know that this was a space where we could talk about the power universe.

[B]

Don't be afraid. You okay?

[E]

I'm trying to be brave.

[B]

Listen, you want me to hold your hand?

[E]

Please, Just for a second.

[A]

Let me make sure I move my microphone. Wouldn't want to step on any of this.

[E]

I'm gonna let Ice take the. You know. Ice, you take the lead.

[A]

How you do that?

[C]

Yo, you try to say some shit, though, to me. Anyway, when we were talking about power, y' all didn't see the current episode yet. I Just came in and told the fellas. I said I'm ready for it to be over.

[A]

I'm ready.

[E]

You're not enjoying the series?

[C]

Not like I thought I was with the season. You made the final. The final season.

[B]

This sucks.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I think they trying to rush through it. I think because they announced that it's the last. I told you, I'm fall for this. Exactly. So anyway, yes. Go watch Power if you like it. If you don't, skip it. God bless.

[D]

I haven't watched Kanan this season and won't.

[E]

So in all seriousness, you better get

[A]

back over here for this Kanan review.

[E]

The Power franchise I actually think is a story of how business can fuck up the art a little bit. Cause the season one, the first season of Power, first series of Power that originally original.

[C]

Yes.

[E]

I thought was amazing. Until it wasn't. And then it was like, all right, let's branch this thing out. And I've watched all of them. To me. To me, force was the worst one. It was it just in the last.

[C]

Just in it. It's over.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Series finale over.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Now they. Now they're about to do Legacy.

[A]

Thank God.

[E]

Yeah. But that was like bad acting, bad storyline.

[C]

It was just bad.

[B]

It's bad.

[E]

This white dude in the most noticeable car in the history of the world drives to Chicago from New York and

[C]

take over killing God mode the whole world way.

[E]

It just didn't make sense to me. I actually like the. The ghost series and. But the K series to me was always the best one. All that said, it had the best acting, the best storyline, the most complex characters. I actually like it. And so far, I'm. I'm a little bit behind you. I. I haven't seen this most recent episode. I've only seen the first four, not the fifth. But I. I thought it was pretty amazing.

[C]

I'm waiting to see what. What's going to actually flip Jukes switch.

[E]

Yes.

[C]

Like, I thought it was gonna be the death of Uncle Lou.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

And it wasn't. I mean, even though she caught a body. So I'm thinking maybe it's that it was. She still got some humanity in her. She does. And I'm trying to see what's gonna be the thing that actually flipped that switch.

[E]

Cause the thing is.

[C]

Cause Juke we see grown in original

[A]

power is a heart monster.

[E]

And it's a fucking monster. And that's the part that makes the show interesting to me is we know how these people turn.

[B]

Yes.

[E]

So now we're trying to see how we get from here. How do we get there? When do you meet Tommy in England? When does Juke make the jukebox make the turn, you know. Etc. You know, how does Kanan become Canaan? Which we're starting to see that. And that kid still does a great job to me of playing.

[C]

He does a good job of playing

[E]

a kind of pre 50s. I think it's a great series.

[B]

I'm back from the bathroom.

[D]

Thanks.

[E]

I think it's.

[A]

Don't interrupt Kanan for that, though.

[E]

I think it's a great series and I'm ready. I'm not ready for it to end because it's the only one that's good left to me.

[A]

What Episode they on? 5.

[C]

5.

[A]

How many episodes?

[C]

And that's the bad part. They flying through because this is. This is the series finale. It's over. Right. So this is how they introduced Kane and 50 Cent play Canaan and original power. I think they. I think they flying through the. The closing. The. Like they gotta kill Mad now to.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Move forward. And I think so they.

[E]

And that's the money to play in the art part that I was talking about him.

[A]

This.

[E]

The money that plays in the art part to me is like, clearly the business is changing. How the storyline is going, how fast it's moving. You know, 50's relationship to it, Courtney's relationship to it in terms of sc. The.

[A]

The.

[E]

The script writing, it's just not as good. Now. Now what. What about Love Island? Because I. I still haven't jumped in on that.

[D]

Love island is about to end soon.

[A]

Bert.

[C]

By the time.

[D]

By the time this area, it ended

[A]

Yo, I'm a little late to the party. Polygamous, but Cape Fear. I'm not watching Polygamous. Them African is crazy. Hey, yo, K. Hey. I got good news and bad news about K. Fear. The good news is Cape Fear is fucking great. It's even. It got even better once I realized that the lead bad guy was not Nicolas Cage.

[D]

Oh shit, that's Javier Bordeaux. Yeah, he's dope.

[A]

Nah, he's him from no country for Old Men. And even when I learned that, you still thought. I still think that him and Nicolas Cage kind of resemble each other a little bit.

[D]

It's weird we don't all look the same.

[A]

Joke guy is so wrong. So, K. I should have known that was Nicholas Cage. Cuz this nigga's in good shape. He was killing the accident. And I remember that Nicholas Cage had fell off for a little bit. But anyway, long story, less long. So K. Fear is really good. However, he ain't sliding nothing. I saw Cape Fear. That's the problem. Original.

[C]

The second one.

[D]

[D]

Fine. That's an interesting tw. No, cuz I mean I only saw. I only saw episode one.

[A]

It's fire. It's. It's weird and fire, but it's fire happening. It's mad happening. But not to give it away, it's always these little weird white kids.

[D]

It's usually the case in all of

[A]

I love that. I love that show. I love the takes. It's a great idea. I'm glad. Congratulations to Subway Takes. Yeah, Subway Takes is fire.

[E]

I love.

[A]

I'm on this new on Instagram where it's a just walking up to people that look like they can't read and asking them to read these cards.

[C]

It's not funny, bro.

[B]

Y' all know how that story is not funny.

[C]

My.

[E]

Oh, you seen the other one?

[C]

They asking to read just regular words that's written in cursive.

[D]

Oh, that's tricky though. That's regular 100 bill.

[C]

Oh, that's the other.

[A]

Oh, the other.

[C]

They got money. It's a picture. It's like a $5 bill, a two $1 bills. Maybe three quarters, four penny. How much money is this? And they like, damn, they just interviewed this.

[B]

I want everybody to know that these people are doing this at bars after they let out. People are drunk. I refuse to believe fellow Americans are that lacking in the education department. I will say that a little boy went viral in Philadelphia doing it from a charter school. I don't want to say no names. And the school reached out. Like that boy. They was going to expel that boy. That's how bad. Cuz. You know they got the name. The whole charter school name is in the picture. And these not clearing 8th grade, 9th grade words. The literacy problem in this country is no laughing matter this fast text.

[A]

Unless you see him reading.

[E]

Then.

[A]

Then I was the bitch. The nigga got picked.

[C]

I watched that is cra. They walked up to this white lady. Funny. She was cocky, right? She was cocky. And he was like, yo, the dude was talking to her, asking a question. So it's like, who's your favorite rapper? She was like, Lil Wayne. Okay, why is Lil Wayne your favorite rapper? Cuz he paid for these titties.

[B]

Oh, yep, I remember her right is what she said.

[C]

So then he was like, oh, I didn't know that. And she like, oh, you think I'm white? I ain't white. Latin American. Why did she said cool? He said, yo, give us some advice for the world. She said, stay in school, learn how to read. Ball right there at the rim. He said, oh yeah, we'll read this. And she. I don't even think she got outside of the and or something. She didn't get one word.

[D]

So she was just speaking from experience. She should have stayed in school.

[C]

She was oh, my favorite three people in the world. Lil Wayne, Mack May and somebody else from Cashmore.

[D]

That's a good roster.

[C]

But it was. Oh, bourbon. But yo, she couldn't read it all. So the cockiness in a bunch of these pretty women that can't really read is crazy, dog.

[B]

This is why they get to tricky words. This is where they get to putting your ass in the bed, locking them comments. Because how the fuck do we get the pretty women in confidence? We talking about people that can't read. Babe, I love you the same. I love you, babe.

[C]

I don't want no.

[B]

Something I'm trying to.

[E]

Well, do you think that pretty women have a more difficult time reading than

[C]

not at all other people? No. Don't be trying to.

[E]

No. I want you to just say no. Cuz that's what that was the implication.

[C]

No, I said no, not at all.

[E]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[C]

I know some beautiful.

[A]

If you're pretty enough, we ain't never going to read.

[C]

And that's what I was going to. But I want.

[D]

How would I.

[A]

All right, here's a trick question for you two. Academia. Academia nights. If she's academia night. I won't let him get off with that. Listen, we know he don't know what.

[E]

Go ahead.

[A]

If she's pretty. When do we get to the reading part?

[B]

Texts, menus.

[A]

No, pretty can read a text menus. Now if she get.

[C]

Yo, stop playing. Back in the Internet dating days. Back in the Internet dating days, like back MySpace and all that, dog, I was judging that couldn't spell off their grammar today. That can't spell. Yo, guys. But I don't talk to them. I'm talking about back in MySpace, Black Planet and all that. You would have to engage. AOL Messenger, Yahoo Messenger. You had to engage and could not.

[A]

But that's back when people could spell.

[E]

They couldn't.

[A]

Today nobody could read it right.

[B]

Especially when you talk about, you know, they had these conversations about the kids being dumb. Those kids do come off a little dumber than we were. And we did learn different things. We had to learn how to type. We had to learn how to curse Write cursive in print, right?

[C]

Tell time.

[B]

We had to learn how to tell time. It wasn't no digital shit. You know, we came up in times where sometimes they would take that Texas instrument. You couldn't even have your fucking calculator depending on them niggas are growing up in school with a iPhone in their pocket. Think about it. If you were in fourth grade, would you try to figure it out? Would you go to your iPhone, Alexa, their phone Dumb. And this is the thing, right? Don't nobody know more that the kids is done. But the parents, you know which one of them you want, they're gonna be living in the basement longer. Some of them gonna need a little extra help. Some of them gonna be doing around that house till 35, and you know it. You know which one of your children are dumb? I do. I'd say the name now, but might see this dumb as a bag of bricks since I met them.

[E]

I think y' all being too hard on people.

[B]

I, I, no, it's.

[D]

You don't.

[B]

I can't say my own child dumb.

[A]

No, no, my kids are dumb. Even if they went to the Stranger gang banger house to, for the. I don't care. My kids are smart.

[E]

Super smart.

[A]

I don't care.

[B]

Listen, I think short, firm text, all that short, shorten, shortening words, whatever. This is the only thing I want to say. You know what it made me think of? You know how we're always on the Internet all together, talking in his captions and, you know, and for the most part, people sometimes feel, feel to me like they're purposely misunderstanding what this post means and what the caption means. Right? But they're not.

[A]

They really don't get it.

[B]

Comprehension ain't there. And these motherfuckers don't understand what's really going on. That's that, that's what it really did for me. Like, oh, everybody's not being sarcastic. These people are stupid.

[E]

Can I just. I'm just offer one.

[B]

God bless them.

[E]

Slightly different take.

[B]

No.

[E]

Okay. In the 19, there was a book called the Closing of the American Mind. It was written by Bloom. There was also some book by a guy named Edie Hirsch. Anyway, they were complaining about the fact that this generation of Americans in the 1980s didn't know enough, didn't share the same information anymore, wasn't as literate, didn't read as well. When you go back to the 50s, you see the same conversation. In the 20s, you hear the same. I think every generation has this moment, like this intellectual panic about, like, oh, my God, this generation don't know shit. And I think it's just how we come to know shit is different. This generation reads and writes more than any generation we've ever seen before, just. Just based on text messages, based. Just based on screens. Now, we used to read left and right, and they read up and down. But literacy is different now. But they still read a lot, and they know a lot. And I think misspelling words is a sign of something. I'm not pretending that it's not. It's certainly a sign of, like, culture. It's a sign of class. Class. It's a sign of, like, what kind of school you got. But it's not a sign of intelligence. Especially when. Because most of the. That we misspell in this language is that shouldn't be spelled that way, right? So I. So I. I don't be. Think. I try not to think about people as.

[A]

As dumb.

[B]

Oh, yeah, they dumb. Dumb as like, you be talking to. And you can see it, like, ain't nothing behind them eyes. Y' all know what I noticed, too.

[E]

But that ain't why they don't notice, too, y'.

[B]

All. You ever meet a. They always super sarcastic, always got some

[E]

slick to say, I hate those people.

[B]

Them the dumbest you gonna meet, bro.

[C]

They. They just.

[A]

They tagged me and you.

[C]

They had a little boy in Newark. It wasn't funny. They had him in the bodega in Newark.

[A]

Oh, Lord.

[C]

And they started asking him, yo, what state do you live in?

[B]

Oh, that was bad.

[C]

He didn't know.

[B]

Oh, them new. Them little Newark.

[C]

He said, stop it, yo. After a while, they start pressing them like, yo, I'm telling you, they. It was some gang. He was like, yo, I'm a DP you if you don't know the answers, right? Oh, and then that means, Yo, what. What county are you in? What city are you? He like, Newark. Stop playing like.

[A]

He was.

[C]

He was aggressive with the Newark, right? They said, what state? He like, stupid United States.

[B]

He said, united States?

[C]

Yes, bro. He didn't know.

[B]

He didn't understand.

[C]

He was, like, 15, 16 years old.

[B]

It's inside New Jersey. In New Jersey. Inside United States. He did not get that. And he had to be 15, 16. And it's like, at a point, he's frustrated because he does not know what the.

[C]

So he's laughing it off, but he like, yo, get away from me, bro.

[B]

That's. It wasn't funny, A. I'm assuming born and raised in the area, and you don't know that that city's in that state. I don't. I'm sorry.

[C]

County, city, state, all of that. Yes.

[B]

Even though with all our ignorance 90s kids and everybody parents on cracking all that. Nah, we knew the states and like. Come on, bro, chill.

[C]

The. Yeah, that was my.

[A]

Right there. It was the remix. You think

[B]

you ain't allowed to say. Yeah, I really want to talk about Michael Jackson, but I won't.

[E]

Oh, y', all. We talk about these young people, these up young people circumstances. Our boy Mamdani's fish. Did you see that? 100,000 new jobs created for youth in New York. He just announced yesterday.

[D]

That's what's up.

[B]

Why does he get so much hate Mark?

[E]

I don't know.

[B]

Cause he's Muslim?

[E]

I think so. And cause he's handsome and tall and he's handsome.

[B]

He's handsome.

[D]

Good at his job.

[B]

Is he tall? How tall is he?

[E]

I mean, you talking to me? He's taller than most politicians.

[B]

How tall is he?

[E]

Do you know he's taller than me? I would say like maybe six feet.

[B]

You could say he's taller than me. Yeah.

[E]

No, first of all, you're talking to me meaning I was making a self deprecating joke about my height, but I'm saying he's about six feet.

[B]

Okay.

[E]

I mean a lot of these politicians be like 5, 7.

[B]

Why do you not like him?

[A]

I don't not like him.

[E]

A championship, he's having jabs.

[B]

I just don't get it sometimes. I'm curious.

[A]

I think you got me mistaken.

[B]

Why do New Yorkers not like him?

[A]

Oh, I don't know. I'm not one of those.

[B]

You're not from New York.

[D]

New Yorkers do like him to be.

[E]

I'm find. I'm finding this gross.

[B]

All jokes aside, when he gets the hate that he does get from people from the city, what is it about?

[D]

It's usually not people from the city. He. He wanted an overwhelming majority in the city and his people just won an overwhelming majority in the city.

[E]

I think outside of New York, outside

[D]

of New York City, people that don't have no business commenting on his policies care about him.

[B]

And you know what I've been noticing? Thank you for answering that part. Yes, I've been noticing people saying like hashtag my mayor and they'll be from Wisconsin. Just liking the stuff he do. People were really impressed by him giving out those guards for the fire hydrant. And the same people way we be cars. He the same. We had you put them splash drawn so you could Direct the water.

[E]

Oh, I thought you meant to stop us from playing in the water. That's. I was about to be.

[B]

What I saw prayerfully is not. AI. It's like I hate to throw that we reporting or talking about something that didn't happen, but he's saying it's hot. Enjoy the fire hydrant here. The.

[E]

That's the mayor right there.

[B]

That's a mayor. It's the hottest day. We're telling you to have your air conditioner on. 74, 78. And now I'm saying go outside playing a. I don't disrespect that, but whatever got. Can you imagine a politician that cared about the people with every

[D]

novel idea.

[B]

North Philly in here, my boy. What's up? We took this over Jersey out of here.

[A]

What else? What else, what else, what else, what else? Mark, this where I thought you was going to go with the up young people stances. H. Have you. Have you changed your stance on some of the facts around Nolan? Stuff that have come out. You see Benjamin Klump saying that when the phone. I always say clump. I'm sorry. Crump saying that when the phone was returned, messages were deleted. More videos of some of the arguments that may or may not have taken place between him and his friends. Like, do you still stand. You still have your same opinion on it?

[E]

I mean, that's consistent with my opinion, right? Was that as more stuff comes out, let's report it. I didn't want to jump to conclusions until we had more information. I didn't want to just speculate. But if your kid dies, you have every right to investigate. And when your kid. When stories stop adding up, you should be looking for more stuff. What I was saying was the moment the kid went missing and they found out it was a black kid with a group of white people, people started speculating what happened. And I was just thinking as a parent, I wouldn't want to have to entertain all these sort of theories that were unfounded about the worst thing that could have happened if that didn't happen. But we're hearing more information. I say keep investigating for sure. And I'm glad they are. And I'm glad Ben Crump is on it. I'm glad the investigators are on it. In fact, when I heard one of the kids moms was a judge and I heard her statement.

[B]

That's a fact. She's a judge.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

She put a statement out and she's the stepmom.

[E]

I'm sorry. When I heard that she was a judge and Then heard her statement. I mean, she said all the right things, but it was almost two perfect. All the right things. Yeah, exactly.

[C]

I mean, she is a judge.

[E]

Yeah. But it just felt like somebody who's trying to handle.

[C]

And again, we've seen this.

[A]

We.

[C]

We've seen, your honor, the show.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Like we've seen a lot of this in the show.

[A]

We've seen the Murdochs in South Carolina, which is the same exact story.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Actually with the white boy go out there on the boat, somebody come back missing and the parents do all this

[C]

powerful connected lady that wants. Went to the girls night with her, all my girlfriends, and the lady ended up passed away in the backyard somewhere. Don't nobody know what happened.

[B]

Like what guys?

[C]

No, I mentioned the show when I said that because we've seen it where they actually showed how the powerful connected pulled strings to kind of explain the shit that's unexplainable in these current situations.

[E]

Yeah. That makes me. I hate this story.

[D]

I hate it.

[B]

Yeah. And I told. I totally can imagine Mark saying that because everybody immediately, he's dead. They did something to him. But black people are weary at this point. I don't aspire to live in a white neighborhood or have a job and it's white. But unfortunately, in a lot of our situations, the best schools happen to be white ones and the best neighborhoods happen to be white ones. We're at a point right now where. Where my kids ain't allowed to hang with white kids like you. You literally can't hang with these white kids.

[E]

Really?

[B]

I promise you. And, and this is the thing. White men are dangerous. White people are dangerous. When you are the only black friend out of the friend group, you almost always are going to be the one. When the police come, you the one gonna catch the charge. When the hoes come around, we gotta make somebody look stupid so we can get or look cool. You gonna be the bed. You cannot be the only black one. So the fact that you can't be the only black one as an adult, how the can you be the only black one as a 13 year old? My son has white friends. I'm already trying to figure out how to explain to him that y' all can hang at school. Y' all could do an after school thing. Y' all can go to the mall, you can't go to their houses and you can't spend the night. You can't. It's too dangerous. I need you to make it home to me. I need to bury you and you not bury me, period. Period. I am not one of them moms that, you know, want you to make the best decisions. I want you to make it the fuck home. My child knows how to operate a weapon. My child is in some type of situation with a police officer. My child sees this cop reaching. He decides to take this cop's life away. Or whatever happens, I am going to see my child for 15 to 20 to 30. It's going to be a great bid. The best bid you can have in that prison is what my son gonna have. But all that going to court so we can fake march, march and then he get a paid vacation and switch to another county. Can't be a part of that. Like, I need you to make it home. And don't let nobody take your life from you. You can't let them. Chill. You can't let your children hang with them white children. It's dangerous. It's a death sentence. They're dangerous. They sold the scam around 9 11. The terrorists look like Muslims. It was a lie. The number one domestic terroristic. The number one domestic. What is the word I'm looking for?

[E]

Terror threat.

[B]

Terrorist. The number one domestic terrorist. Terrorists in the country, in the United States has always been and always will be a white man. You know what's worse? A pack of them. You know what's worse? A pack with Jack Daniels. They're dangerous. Look at the numbers. It's not an opinion thing. It's too dangerous for your son to go on a fishing trip with his white homies on the lake because they'll come home and say we don't know what the happened to him. And nobody in the group morally says, well, come on. We grew up with Jerome. They don't give a when it come to down to it because they were raised that way.

[A]

And well said, Mona. And if you are an advertiser and want your product talked about right here. Just imagine, yo, just imagine. We can have the Amazing Damone to do that. And then whatever your is, potato chips, pines, ketchup. All folks aside, y' all to say

[B]

like, cut it out, but no, we

[A]

ain't cutting it out. I stand with you.

[B]

This the thing though. I am so serious. I got two sons.

[A]

Oh, she doubling down. Holy.

[B]

All right. I'm dead serious.

[A]

No, we can understand.

[B]

I'm dead serious. I grew up in a time. No, I grew up in a time in the 90s. They told you don't get the kids guns. My peers, 8, 9 year olds, they couldn't even get a water gun for Christmas or their Birthday, Right, Right. Because the police will murder you with the toy gun thinking it's real time. Your rice or that gun is teaching them gun violence. Teach them how to play with guns. We don't want the kids playing with guns. It was wrong. In my opinion. Your child should. If you're a gun over, your child should know how to put the gun. Load the gun, put the safety on it, put it away. You hide it, it don't do nothing but make the want to go play with it. Why is this 14 year old not supposed to know how to load a gun? A house intruder come, I'm frying chicken. My son bust his ass coming through the window. Why is that a wrong thing? They kids hunting them kids. Shotguns, dude, taking out deers and. But we all sitting here praying, trying to be violent and doing the nae nae. When people get killed, get murdered. I'm off that. I have children, I have sons. I'm afraid that they're going to die. So this is where you get. A lot of women feel like me.

[A]

A lot of women can I. That's real.

[C]

Not just women.

[A]

That's real.

[C]

A lot of. A lot of parents.

[B]

If you fight back, you go to jail. If not, you die. We got two, two options. Carmelo Anthony friend. You gonna die or you gonna go to jail. What you gonna do that.

[A]

All right. You may have tried Doritos, but have you tried the brand? Have you tried mom and pop potato chips? Johnny and Kathy's? Russell. Yo. I want to be down with Mark, but sometimes when the Philly crew get all this, I just see the money flying away.

[B]

How do you juggle with that, Mark? Like standing up for stuff and actually making a living.

[E]

I. I choose wrong a lot.

[A]

Yeah, that's a fact. That's a fact.

[B]

I respect that.

[E]

We, I mean we met. They probably see that.

[A]

That's why I choose right. Because all you get when you, when you do what Mark do is, you know, you realize right, I respect you. What you man.

[E]

I mean, you know, anyway he don't pay this rent. It's, you know, you got to pick your spots too. I mean, I think some of it for me is about being, keeping consistency, moral consistency. But you also, it's just. I'll give you a perfect example. It's off the topic, but on the topic. When I fight for people, I believe everybody should not be executed by the state. I don't believe in the death penalty, but I can't. But there's people on death row who I would advocate for more Aggressively than others. Not because I don't believe that the dude that killed seven people shouldn't be killed, but because that ain't really the one to lead with. So even in your activism, sometimes you have to be strategic to win the public approval to get the public consent. Now, I'm never gonna go and march for someone to be killed. Cause that's against my principle. But I'm not gonna march for everybody. Not because it's wrong, not because it's unprincipled, but because it's not tactical. And so trying to walk that tightrope sometime is difficult on this particular point. And I know we want to close this out because I know Joe's excited about it. When I think about myself as a parent.

[A]

Holy shit.

[C]

Go ahead.

[E]

Listen, boy, I don't ever want my kid to be the only one of a group because of what it has historically meant for black people. You know what I mean? Like, being the only white guy in a group of black people is different than being the only black person in a group full of white people. Especially if you grow up in a. I'm talking about particularly like in private schools, independent schools, a lot of the places we end up because of all the stuff we try to do to make our lives different.

[C]

Right.

[E]

And so I worry about their safety. I also worry about their self esteem. I worry about their psychology. I'm thinking like raising a black girl in a predominantly white school. She used to say, the black boys, I mean, the white boys like white girls and the black boys like white girls. You know, when you start thinking about your hair, when you start thinking about all these, that's the kind of stuff I think about and that's the kind of stuff I worry about. The biggest danger we've seen in this country, yes. Has been from white men. But I wouldn't disqualify my kids from hanging with white people for that reason. But I would just be mindful of them being the only one because of that other stuff. But like having white friends. And I don't want my kids hanging in nobody house overnight. Black, white, red, yellow. That's just. That's just the thing I don't do. That's not because they white. It's just because they not mine. Yeah.

[B]

Spend a night is just.

[E]

I just don't feel safe with my kids, period. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But so. So I don't see it quite the same way. But I do, I do have worry about those dangers, you know what I mean? But I also grew up in places where I had lots of white friends, and it worked out just fine.

[C]

And I just want to say the other thing is, you also want your children to know who they are.

[A]

Oh, shit. Like what?

[B]

This going for real? Nah, that. Nah. We got standards.

[A]

At what point do y' all get to fund some stuff?

[C]

Yeah, I got it.

[A]

I'm asking. Can we get back to fun? Do y' all mind, or am I like, the bad guy again?

[D]

You're the bad guy.

[B]

In time, Brown Rich. You don't know what it feel like outside. Touch grass, Rich ass.

[A]

Jesus.

[B]

Now back to struggle.

[A]

What you say? 8, 7, 7, 3, 9, 3, 4, 4. I just throw that.

[D]

Oh.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Hey, man.

[C]

Shout out to Black Sam.

[A]

Yo.

[C]

Shout out to Black Sam. The news came out that when Nipsey passed his. His. His estate was worth around $2 million.

[A]

And

[C]

Nipsey's daughter's mom was. They were in a fight because she wanted everything as. As the mother of the oldest child to go straight to her. Yeah. And they were in a fight for a long time. And Black Sam came out and re. Recently said that's been taken care of. The estate is now worth close to $12 million, and he was able to give it to both of Nipy's children, as well as they have, like, 50%

[A]

that they recently said didn't have a will either.

[C]

Yeah. So just. I want to shout. Shout take off

[A]

mom and dad. Mom.

[B]

His parents are fighting over raised him coming. He want and. And knows it and don't care. He still. I deserve that. I love Black Sam. Like, I'm a huge.

[A]

You say that. Wait, hold up for a second. That's bad.

[B]

What? Is it bad that the. That didn't help you raise your child, comes back around after he's murdered and then says, I want half of this estate. And then when you say, well, you forgot that time you. We argued and you said you was going to go get cigarettes and you never came back. And he was seven like that. He. He like, duh. The nigga still come from my balls. Give me my bread.

[A]

Yeah, everything is bad if there's not a will. And there is nothing to differentiate between who's who and what's what. Is that dad not supposed to come and do that?

[B]

In reality, I totally get it. It's wrong.

[A]

I've heard enough of you and Mark, please. What's what Y' all think new accounts?

[C]

My morals wouldn't allow me to ask for shit. Yeah, if I know I didn't do nothing toward this boy's progress. Whether mentally, physically, emotionally, financially. If I just was absentee in all facets of life, I don't think that I'm entitled to. But I'm also the. That be like, yo, when, when you break up with your girl, the man supposed to leave empty handed. That's my stance. But legal is legal. So the law states that your parents gonna get your shit.

[D]

I think it's also tricky if there's some gray area like what if he did contribute in some type of way but maybe wasn't the best dad but was still.

[E]

Yeah, but that's

[C]

if you weren't around.

[E]

If you're a deadbeat dad who wasn't around at all.

[B]

That's what I'm talking about.

[E]

Then I'm saying no, you shouldn't do something if you contributed. That's different.

[C]

You say you shouldn't get something or you shouldn't try to get it.

[B]

You shouldn't even try.

[E]

I'm saying you shouldn't try it again. I'm not making a living legal. Yeah, you the, you the exact opposite of a deadbeat dead.

[C]

I'm not saying me, I'm just saying y' all got people up though. Is going to try to get it.

[E]

Okay, but that's you, you, you question is up. Should is. Is a normative question. Should is is this the right thing to do? And I'm saying no, it's not the right thing to do. Will he do it? Yes.

[C]

Yeah, it does find out and I'm not. I can't put me in this.

[A]

Cuz you're right.

[C]

I can't be a deadbeat dad.

[A]

But if a deadbeat dad find out

[C]

that hey, a child you had had was worth X amount of money and you might be entitled to some of that because he didn't have children, didn't have a will to set up,

[B]

is

[A]

going to go get it and, and

[E]

because you guys we all saying the same thing, right? We obviously don't think it's are going to pop up.

[C]

And I'm saying no, Mark, let me finish. And because of that is the law. I don't see anything wrong with him trying to get that.

[B]

Come on now, now you're going too far. You do see something wrong with it.

[C]

I see you something wrong with you not being there for your church child.

[E]

But nothing wrong with going to get the money after he's dead that you're entitled to.

[C]

No.

[B]

Even though you didn't help him.

[C]

That you are legally entitled to.

[A]

I don't either.

[C]

You're legally entitled to the money.

[E]

Really? I don't either. Tell me why.

[A]

For the same reason that he's saying. Because I wouldn't do it.

[C]

Yeah, I wouldn't do it.

[A]

I would.

[E]

Tell me why you wouldn't do it.

[A]

Stop it.

[E]

No, no, no, no. I think you wouldn't do it. Cuz you think it's wrong. I'm saying I think it's wrong too.

[C]

No, let me ask you this.

[E]

That's what we're saying the same thing.

[C]

If you was up, would you do it?

[A]

I can't see a world where I would do that. Fucked up or not me. I'm trying to have this conversation objectively without me.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, objectively.

[A]

And if I'm doing that 7 out of 10 people, 8 out of 10 people are doing exactly what we say. I've seen it too many times when people pass for much less.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

So now you find out the family member that wasn't there, the kid that you wasn't checking for you didn't realize, raised you, wasn't around for you got word that he died, you might not even give a fuck.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

And I'm not putting that on takeoff stat. I'm just in a hypothetical now, but you learned that that kid was worth 15, 20 million dollars. And there's no will or no letter or no legal binding anything that says I'm not. Then something that's mine, I'm coming to get it.

[E]

I'm coming to get it. Okay. Yeah.

[C]

Yes. Yeah.

[B]

I'm not.

[E]

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

[D]

I would. That'd be dead in the first place.

[B]

But it's like you're not embarrassed. No shame.

[A]

And especially if I'm up, I'm definitely going to get day half of $20 million. Ain't gonna be no shame at all.

[B]

Totally get listen and you'll sleep on

[A]

just how much these deadbeat don't feel shame.

[B]

And that's the thing. I think we get that you being a deadp dad is a total character flaw shows type of you are at this point. I. I know men that won't hang with men that are deadbeat dads because it's a whole bunch of other areas in your friendship that is going to shine type of person. This person is right. So of course the person that's a horrible person is going to do some slimy like come collect half of money that they have nothing.

[E]

If you're willing to abandon your kids, you're willing to come and collect the check.

[A]

How's that slimy though?

[B]

Because you abandoned your child. And so you would.

[C]

Slimy. It was slimy before the kid died.

[B]

Yeah. You abandon your child. It's the first slimy thing. The second slimy thing is you're coming back to take money knowing damn well the person you did this with is about to say no. You. You know, you don't even care about all that part. I'mma just do it anyway. Like, I'mma with that. That's. I don't even. It's. This is stupid.

[A]

Could you have made the kid without me?

[B]

No. No.

[A]

Oh, I'm coming to get it. I'm coming to get it.

[B]

Thanks for the scene, I guess.

[E]

Well, then I don't understand. Tell me why you wouldn't do it then.

[A]

Why you keep trying to. I'm getting confused.

[C]

Cause you said you wouldn't do it

[E]

because you're establishing a value of. You're saying you wouldn't do it and there's a reason for it. You're saying if you were these other people, you would. So I'm asking you to explain the distinction.

[A]

I wouldn't do it because that's not how my train of thought runs. However, I understand why 8 out of 10 people do.

[C]

It might be better.

[A]

What's confusing about that?

[E]

I didn't say I was confused. I'm just asking you to explain it

[A]

because I understand the thought. Thought process and I understand the feelings involved. I understand the financial impact. I understand too many things that have to do with why 8 out of 10 people would do that. I have no problem being one of the two that wouldn't.

[E]

Right. And what I was saying is when you initially started with the question of should you. What I'm saying is I think we all.

[A]

That word, everyone. It shouldn't be a should you, because in a room full of us, I

[E]

don't expect it should be a should you think. Because that was my. My point. My point is I think we all agree you shouldn't, but that some people would. And I think the fact that eight out of people.

[A]

My question, I guess, was, do y' all think that he's wrong for doing it?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And y' all say yes?

[E]

I'm saying yes. And I think that the fact that 8 out of 10 people do it.

[B]

8 out of 10 is pull out of somebody ass. That's not real.

[E]

But let's say. Let's say it's real.

[C]

No, no.

[E]

I think. I think this.

[A]

I mean, we can look up stat. I don't think it's far off.

[C]

I don't think it's far Off.

[E]

I think it might be nine out of ten if you're. Yeah, if you're a deadbeat dad, I think maybe, maybe 95% of deadbeat dads would go back and get the money. You know what I mean? Just because again, I think being deadbeat dad is a character thing. But I also think if your kid ends up in the slums and fucked up and ends up making art and music and creates a whole career and a legendary career speaking about that misery that he grew up out of, oh,

[A]

then I'm really coming to get some of that money.

[E]

And then you say, well, you know what?

[A]

Wait, you rapping about these, these circumstances that I created. I am more creative. Imagine what you'd have been if I was there. A little fool, bro.

[E]

You might be an alive ass lawyer instead of a dead ass rapper. Right? And so because you're dead and a rapper, I get the money. That's the problem, right? To me, it just becomes an ethical thing. I don't think it's ethical.

[C]

It's not even ethical. It really ain't ethical, people. I get my morals, bro. We.

[A]

And it's the moral part.

[C]

No, you know what happens? It always falls. It always seems like it falls on money for me. Yo, dog. Morals and ethics change with their financial capabilities. And so if the who wasn't there was 20 million up, he wouldn't go get that money. But if that father is 20000 up, he's going to get that money.

[E]

That's the fact.

[C]

So that's, that's the, the, the. The morality is on a slide that makes it up. And the morality is on sliding scale. Know right from wrong. But when you up and you in the trenches, that's a great. That changes.

[B]

Yeah, I had to point first. I just didn't get. I can't spit anything out on this stupid stage. I'm so full of fear when I'm trying to add.

[E]

I'm still trembling value.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

Have some fear if it's going to stop you from spitting things out the yo.

[C]

But that. That's my thing.

[E]

So everybody, we talk.

[A]

No, please don't. I got you.

[E]

Please, please.

[A]

We will miss you. All right.

[E]

What?

[A]

So listen. Well, nothing fun. So let me get to another serious topic. Let me get to.

[E]

There is. There is a fun topic.

[A]

Oh, go, go, go, go.

[E]

It's on the board. It's online dating.

[B]

I want everybody at home to know I was discussing. L. I was discussing list crawler and back page where you sell pussy proudly. And that turned into online dating. It's not the same thing.

[D]

It's not online dating. It's online.

[A]

You playing with me?

[D]

Yeah, Online shop.

[E]

Wait, what's the song?

[D]

It's online.

[A]

If you want a kiki, I'll kiki with you. But if you're not kiki. And I'm getting offended.

[C]

You wasn't a pro. Online date.

[A]

No.

[C]

You told me out of your own mouth. My space time. Some of the best of the best you've ever had.

[A]

Okay, so let's start with this.

[E]

Now it's time for my favorite part of the show.

[A]

But no, we don't. No, we're not going to do that.

[E]

We're not.

[A]

We're not doing that. My space. I was on there moving and shaking. Okay. It's not online dating. When I. When I.

[C]

That's.

[E]

What's.

[D]

That's outline dating.

[C]

Sort of Tomato, tomato. We got to define that first. So.

[A]

No, that. No, that was the first crop of that invented some. They wasn't on there to give away. They was on there to. They ended up giving away. When I say online dating, I'm talking about dating sites.

[D]

Dating sites.

[A]

Like.

[E]

Like.

[A]

And it's very popular. Very popular. So I'm not. I'm not. I'm talking about where you are on there for no other purpose than to find a match.

[C]

Gotcha.

[A]

Put a heart.

[D]

Got you.

[C]

And swipe left or right, whatever.

[E]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

That's what I'm doing. And I've never been on. I've never been. I probably made an account count on one, but the rules to them, I couldn't. I'm leaving a heart on somebody. Now I got to go on about my day and come back and hope that they hit me back out of here.

[D]

You were too famous to use.

[A]

That's why it was fun.

[C]

But you were famous even at the height of it. So for you, it's not the same as an accountant or an engineer or. Or you get what I'm saying?

[A]

Like, the online dating took off. Another discrepancy after the MySpace. Like, if you was leading your partner in 0807 and all that online, you almost had to think of another way that you met him. You wasn't telling people that online dating. We met on Twitter.

[C]

We met on.

[A]

They don't care.

[C]

Yeah, they run. That's a bad. That's just. That's. That's just the evolution of society. That was like if you were. If you were a stripper when we was younger, you lied about. Now chicks like, yo, I danced. What's Up. You coming to show me some love? It's just the evolution of society. So if OnlyFans was out back then, people wouldn't have just been proudly saying Yo, I'm on OnlyFans. I think society has matured and so we way more liberal and what we willing to tolerate. But to your point with online dating. Online dating was a thing back then but. And mad people was doing on it, but they were lying about it because it's a desperation at that time. A moniker that gets stamped on you if you were online dating.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

It almost came.

[C]

It almost was like you couldn't get it done outside so you had to go to the computer. Which is the farthest thing from the truth.

[B]

Now you are most can't get it done outside.

[C]

You do it well now ain't no outside.

[B]

Yeah, that there is a there because Parks just said something about Joe being too famous. There is one for like us like the stuff that we do.

[C]

What's the name of it? Something with an R. I was gonna try it.

[B]

I should get on here and report.

[E]

Was it Copo Ryer?

[B]

Yeah, I might try it. See, I'm curious about that.

[A]

But the regular on it now.

[C]

I used to online date a lot. I online dated a lot. I understood it. I understood the.

[B]

What did you. What was your favorite apparatum?

[C]

I was on a bunch of them.

[A]

It does make sense.

[C]

Yeah, I don't really all.

[B]

I'm with different names. Names and different signs.

[C]

Capricorn, Aquarius here from my space and Black Planet and all of those other

[B]

things that led up that ding a lane. Everywhere. Computer. The streets, everywhere. Chamber numbers. The goat.

[C]

Yo, don't start your bro. Don't.

[B]

Don't dickish.

[C]

Start your.

[A]

She's saying all. I'm not jumping.

[B]

Can I ask your personal question?

[D]

Sure.

[B]

You a condom? Bull.

[C]

Always.

[B]

You lame. You getting all that. Can't even feel it.

[A]

Why you pointing at me?

[C]

No, I was so. Cuz I thought she thought I was going to lie. I mean, I wouldn't lie.

[A]

I wouldn't. I wouldn't vouch for that.

[C]

No, I know, I know.

[A]

My boy.

[B]

You trying to have a good time.

[E]

You.

[A]

You a condom dude? I'm not a condom, dude. You got two kids. I got two kids.

[C]

Uhhuh.

[B]

It's perfect proof.

[C]

I had my first kid at 40.

[B]

He felt all the. You never felt it. You thought you was getting good. Whole time was loose. You throwing hot dogs in hallways. You don't even know this. Felt that. Every piece, every lane, every angle, every corner.

[A]

Then he Went behind me and didn't feel it.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Oh, she did. She did.

[B]

N real.

[A]

What's the point, bro?

[D]

Once.

[A]

Once me and is start doing that, we run out of top. Yeah, no, no, no, no. I. I got hip to us. No, no, no.

[C]

The online dating thing is a thing, and I think that people get negative connotation. But think about this just real quick. You're a single mom, right? You really have minimal help or a very, very, very small village.

[A]

She ain't even gotta think.

[B]

She eating me up.

[A]

He fires. Hey, take Parks, for example.

[C]

No, I'm just saying not use a single moment. A single mom.

[A]

Park. A single mom.

[B]

Like, let's say the.

[C]

Let's say the woman got two kids, really, really, really small village.

[B]

They want to play around.

[A]

Yeah, please use parts.

[B]

Please, please.

[D]

Example.

[C]

So look, the single mom that might work a 9 to 5 got real limited time. She get home from work, she cooks, she do homework, she do all of that stuff. Put the kids to bed.

[B]

Now her time, get that rose, rub one out.

[C]

But the time to meet a man or casually date is very, very, very limited. So you jump online, you start interacting socially. You could engage in mad conversations to weed out a bunch of niggas that you like or you don't like just through conversation.

[A]

Can you please say Parker's a single mom? Just for the audio listeners.

[D]

They go, and he need help.

[C]

What?

[A]

The single moms, they go, what? Oh, yeah, they leave the king out.

[C]

This they only free weekend. Hey, Joe, if I've been talking to the girl on the phone for a month, I know all of the shit that the first three dates is gonna get out of. I already know it. No, all I got to do is look the same, smell good, and have a decent time, and she ain't got.

[A]

And put. And put 50 on top of it. You little thief. Don't think I forgot about Mark's 50

[E]

on the floor.

[B]

And I ain't make no.

[A]

I hear you. That money coming my way.

[B]

I still got slighted on the Christmas bonus.

[A]

Do y'.

[E]

All.

[A]

Do y' all have anything to say? And this is my final topic before y' all get into some fucking more Malcolm X. Do y' all have anything to say about the Internet making comments about Brandy's appearance?

[E]

I hate. So I was. I was going to make that a topic, but I didn't want to add.

[A]

Well, we wouldn't add. We would be mature.

[E]

No, no, I. I don't. I hate that even people are going to Google up and I just hate the whole thing. Is what I'm saying. I wish it didn't exist. I'm trying to pretend it didn't exist.

[C]

No, no, no.

[E]

I'm being serious. I don't.

[A]

Brandi made an appearance recently, and she looked thinner than usual, and now people are using that to comment on her appearance. It's more than Chad Boswick.

[C]

Yeah, I don't like that shit.

[E]

I hate that shit.

[C]

You don't know what nobody's going through.

[A]

Shut the fuck up, bro.

[C]

Right?

[E]

Like, and here's the thing, and nobody deserves this, but Brandi really don't like. It's like, I get sometimes mean people. You people make mean jokes about it. I'm not saying it's okay, but Brandy ain't this shit to nobody. That shit is like. I just don't like it. I don't like the conversation.

[B]

One guy.

[E]

I was hoping y' all would.

[B]

Sorry, I take.

[A]

Cut it out. I didn't.

[E]

You get what I'm saying? I just. I don't like it. And to everybody's point about Chadwick Boseman, it's like you don't know what people are going through.

[A]

You don't know people.

[E]

Why people look the way they do. It could just be a bad day, or it could be a reason, whatever the fuck. It could just be actually going on

[B]

a lot of layers. I think that made it look even, you know, I mean, because when you wear a lot of layers or bigger clothes and you're already small, makes you look smaller. But as that's just a woman's. That's just a woman's experience. If you do anything want to critique your body.

[E]

And on the Internet now, there's even dudes, too. I'm not saying men got it the exact same, but dudes don't have it

[B]

nowhere near the same.

[E]

But dudes is getting killed online for being too fat, too skinny, too tall, too. This is like, we spend all our time obsessing about people, even the politics, neck, all that.

[B]

Yeah, y' all could get it. Receding ass, hairline. Y' all can get it. Big ass bellies.

[E]

I get hairline jokes every day, you

[B]

know, I mean, it's a lot of fooders. There's a lot of fooders, but nobody knew what a fooder was, so I came on this podcast and discovered a fooder.

[A]

Why ain't got your out still you doing it.

[B]

Food are going, oh, boost them where your ass.

[A]

So what's that called?

[B]

You. I will kill you. I will kill you, man.

[A]

I will kill you.

[B]

I'm sorry.

[E]

Y' all don't know.

[B]

Y' all don't know what it feel like to look down at your feet and see. I ain't never seen this. I never seen this from this view ever.

[A]

But somebody still give you maximum punishment.

[B]

You know what's funny? I've never been into that. Oh, let me beat that up. Let me make. No, I don't want no punishment.

[A]

For real.

[B]

[A]

Parks you could be.

[B]

Listen, hasta la vista, arvoir, adio. So long, goodbye. Y' all have a good weekend. Please be safe, make wise decisions. And remember, Tupac is. If don't nobody else care. Last but certainly not least, the baddies are insecure. The stagnant women want to travel. When the closed minded women want you to teach them things. Grab you with Tylenol, you might need it. Yo, you see a real nigga at Yankee Stadium? Just a head knob will suffice. A little salute, you know, I mean, don't come over to me with all that.

[E]

I ain't having it, Joe. Can we do a quick. I can do a rest in peace. No, no, just a quick rest in peace to the legendary Sparky D. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We gotta do that, man. One of the greatest. And some of y' all old enough to remember the Roxanne wars, one of the legends of hip hop. That one of the pioneers that doesn't get spoken too much. Man, we love you, we will miss you. And we're sending condolences to your fans, friends and family.

[D]

And Bonnie Tyler.
