Main Theme / Purpose

This episode is a blend of banter about sports, culture, music, personal stories, viral news, and listener feedback, all presented in the Joe Budden Podcast's trademark style—humorous, irreverent, and unpredictable. The overarching theme centers on what counts as “premium content,” a playful jab at both themselves and their audience, with running bits on authenticity, inside jokes, and the idea of earning their audience’s attention.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Sports Debates and Personal Anecdotes

• The crew opens with a lively debate about their own sports histories, athletic prowess, and joking “beefs” about who’s genuine on the court or field.
• Notable exchange: Joe claims to be “undefeated in kickball,” and the guys joke about each other's sports insecurities ([01:45]).

• The team discusses the expectations placed on music commentators and debates concert attendance as a qualifier for “real” fandom ([34:00] through [49:24]).

Quote:
"We have been very hype about J. Cole projects and songs, so that’s why I think they do have a valid [point]." – Parks ([46:31])

5. New Music Discussion: Pooh Shiesty, Carol G & Drake, Sienna Senate

• Ice reviews the new Pooh Shiesty album, discussing lyrical content, a debate over music glorifying criminality, and the blurred lines between real life and entertainment ([49:45]–[52:17]).

• They discuss the evolution of the theater experience and why people still enjoy going out to the movies, comparing it to live concert energy.

9. Mental Health, Virality & Streamer Culture

• Reflecting on Perez Hilton’s live mental health crisis, the pod discusses the line between online entertainment, viral trauma, and public desensitization to tragedy ([113:19]–[120:07]).
• They debate whether excessive focus on “mental health” diminishes more spiritual or ethical frameworks for understanding extreme behavior.

The banter moves seamlessly from jokes to sincere cultural commentary in a style that is "premium" in its chaos. The humor is ribald and brash, but punctuated by real empathy when serious issues arise (as with Perez Hilton or mental health).

Half the total.

[D]

What?

[A]

We lived over here. Yeah, and that's when we did kickball.

[B]

And that wasn't kickball. Kickball, though, bro.

[A]

Anyway, I took it as the utmost disrespect. You should do you have a team. We could do team Surf versus Team Joe nigga. And he talking to me like that. Cause he caught me slipping in the bowling alley the last time we went.

[B]

No, you didn't tell us that. You ain't say that. No, you did not.

[A]

Y' all went.

[B]

You ain't tell us you got mocked.

You couldn't get that off?

[A]

This is not my bowling setting.

[C]

Nah, you can't bowl.

[B]

Concentrate.

[A]

That what I swore we was opening up all firing in parks, but I thought that's what we was going to do.

[B]

Excuses like, yo, bro, we all playing under the same conditions. We gotta. We gotta adapt. Now, if niggas is being rowdy when you go to roll, and then everybody quiet like it's golf when the other niggas go to, then you got a problem.

[A]

But if the nigga fresh out, the feds, yo, he could have bowled good on any bone that they was bowling toilet paper rolls. They was like, are you crazy, nigga? They was bowling bologna sandwiches.

[D]

N

You gotta keep the shit on it.

[D]

They want to get dark, low key.

[A]

You have to protect your skin.

[C]

The problem was we went to this called Noah's Ark, which is like an island. You gotta take a boat over there. So we got, you know, cleaned up. And after we were at the beach, I didn't realize that out there, you just outside the whole time. You on the boat. That's where I got fried up. Both of us got fried up, actually. Yeah. It was in a boat.

I bought another ticket, but the is an hour away. In the airport's 20 minutes away by the time we get there. They couldn't. We had one bag that they couldn't check. So they're like, nah, it's a dub for you. Oh, all right. It. So we buy another ticket. Can't get on that one. Eventually we're like, it. All right, go talk to the lady. Next play we can get at you, get you out of here is Monday or it's Friday. I'm sorry. And it's Monday. We're like, nah, nah, we got to do something. That's the next shit. Everything is booked. We went to every airline. Everything is booked. It's a little ass airport, and all the airport airplanes that come in are the smaller shits. So one little flight getting over the. Over there.

He was so happy to see you. Ain't he just right.

[C]

He said it. The playlist. You just talk.

[A]

Keep telling y'. All.

[C]

I really felt like a disus for this. This last week, though. I'm not going to lie. I thought it was ironic that this whole movie was my favorite of the summer. And meanwhile, I'm stranded on island. Oh. Eating the lotus flower for extra seven days.

[B]

Lotus flower.

[A]

Oh,

[C]

Turks was beautiful, though, man. Shout out to the people.

[D]

[B]

I told him what to say.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

I mean, I tell him what to say.

[C]

I had booked it. And then he said he stayed there. Yeah.

[D]

And it worked out to be the same.

[B]

Yeah, he had booked it on.

[C]

I don't know. That's how you feel.

[A]

No, no.

[C]

Yo, the crazy. I have a quick Alanis Morissette shit. You ought to know. I never realized was Flea on the bass.

[D]

I didn't know that.

[A]

I didn't know that.

[C]

He's fucking shit. If you go listen to that song one day, you're gonna be like, oh, he's in there fucking shredding that shit.

[D]

Oh, shit.

[C]

Rock. People don't really do features like that, but.

[D]

Well, there might be a reason.

She wanted back music. My playlist is dedicated to you.

[C]

Thank you. Thank you.

[A]

You know what I mean? Now that you're back, I can feel it. Come on, man. It wasn't the same without you. First person to probably get Potter of the month off one episode.

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you.

[D]

Yes, sir.

[B]

By now, you should have somehow realized

[D]

what you gotta do.

[A]

I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you. Now look how you feel when the vocals are right. God damn it. Look how you feel the we street

[B]

that the fire in your heart is out.

[A]

I'm sure you heard it out before, but you never really had a doubt. I don't believe that anybody feels the Way I feel about you now. Hey. Don't say nothing stupid like that again while I'm sitting here. Don't say nothing stupid like that again while I'm sitting here. The lonely road the only one that I.

[C]

Yes, sir.

[A]

Yeah. I mean for the white hoes out there, man. Stop playing with us, man. I walk alone.

Oh, man. Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner. Mark, what you was doing during all this, during these MTV days, that was prime cult. What you mean? That's why I'm asking.

[B]

He had an all black.

[A]

That's what's funny. Do Muslims vibe out to when. When this.

Why you running from it?

[B]

But don't let him see it, though.

[A]

Up the fans, yo, at park music. And then United States favorite line. Oh, yeah. Whatever you want. Whatever you want.

[B]

A piece of the cup.

[A]

Short enough. Po is in the building. Corey is in the building. Corey is at the stage of his relationship where he can't watch it by himself. Oh, Cory got in trouble.

[C]

Cory got.

[A]

Cory got in trouble the other day. He tried. What? What was that? You couldn't go see? Come on, you. Oh, Lus.

[D]

That's cheating.

[C]

Good first episode.

[D]

Cheating.

[B]

That's cheating.

[C]

That first episode.

[A]

I couldn't do it.

[D]

You got to get your own little shows, dog. Yeah, you got a couple shows.

[B]

And don't let her get into your shows.

[C]

Facts.

[A]

You actually got.

[B]

No, it don't work like that. It's not your show. It's y' all show.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Now you on this up there. I ain't going to hold you. I swear.

[D]

I put on.

[A]

I was telling Corey I put on the agency trailer so she could look at it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Cuz I seen season one.

[C]

This is how it goes.

[A]

Yeah, People already told me season. They told me season two with fire. I put on the trailer. She didn't look interested. Yeah, right. She looked totally uninteresting.

[C]

You got to start selling it to us a little bit.

[A]

No, no.

[C]

Selling it the opposite way.

[A]

You're not going to really like.

[C]

It's a little violent. It's a little bloody. Yes, it does.

[B]

Sometimes it do. Sometimes. That's how I get to watch Kanan by myself.

[D]

That's the only reason I can watch K by myself. Y.

[C]

Seriously, that's the only reason why you can watch by yourself.

[D]

Because she. She'll get into it, but then she

[B]

won't want to watch it.

[D]

What I want to watch. So I got to wait a week to find out what the happened. I'm waiting for episode eight now anything

[C]

in the power series. And she was like, no, I'm cool.

[B]

The problem is that only work when y' all don't like the exact same shit. Oh, like, if I like it, I know she's gonna like it. Even if I try to undersell.

[D]

You like the exact same stuff.

[B]

We like the same shit, bro. So if I undersell it. All right, Then you see I'm into it. She'll come in. Oh, why you ain't telling me? This is fire. Nah, fuck. I've been getting lost the show, that

[C]

Nemesis shit for three months. Like, oh, look, it's your favorite show.

[D]

You gotta find shows they don't know about, waiting for them to go to sleep.

[C]

Facts.

[D]

And that's what I do. I go to. I sneak back downstairs and watch my shows when she's sleep. And I went upstairs to check on her one time, and she be in the bathroom doing her routine or whatever with an iPad, watching whole. Whole bunch of. I never know she even knew about. So we both were kind of cheating on each other with the show. And that's how you keep a relationship happy.

[C]

That's true.

[A]

Well, to end my story about that.

[B]

Sorry about that, big dog.

[A]

So I put on the agency, and now she glued to the. She's like, oh, My God. It's my type of show. Why are you watching this without me? It's like, you got to be me. Anyway, that's the.

[C]

It is.

[B]

That's how you usually goes for me.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So now I'm going down south, rest in peace to my Uncle Hazel. Going to Hazel's funeral. Really sad about this, but I got that Monsters of God on hbo. Max, that just dropped.

[C]

I'm not hip to that one.

[B]

What's that?

[C]

I'm not into that one.

[A]

Yeah, just dropped. It's about. You know how Tiger King was about, like the. The lion. The lions in the Afterworld market.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

This is about snakes. Oh, and the. How rich people can just get whatever they want.

[C]

I think I might have seen a trailer for this.

[A]

And. Yeah, no, it looks sick.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

The show explores the global billion dollar underworld of legal exotic reptile smuggling.

[A]

Oh. So anyway.

[B]

Okay, so I want to just hit

[A]

the download in my iPad, get on the plane and do that. But I get in trouble, bro.

[C]

I didn't have.

[A]

Because I know that if she read that. If she just read the description that she's into it. She'll smack the out of me.

[C]

Yeah. For turning that on, bro. I didn't take no iPad, laptop, Apple TV, nothing. That was the worst part about the whole.

[D]

What?

[A]

But why?

[C]

Because I thought I was only gonna be gone for two days. Like.

[B]

Oh, yeah. So you telling us you could have left the laptop here?

[C]

I could have.

[D]

With your presets.

[A]

Jump this guy. We gotta jump this guy, man. That's hilarious. Look how good we all saying we all can laugh at the same time now without the clip.

[B]

I thought the feds was on the phone.

[A]

Oh, well, the Fed might still be on the phone, but let's just say that's true. So where do y' all want to begin? Y' all want to begin with homeboy kicking our backs in over this J. Cole stuff?

[B]

Sure.

[A]

It's gaining traction out there.

[D]

I thought it was just your back. See, I thought it was just your back.

[A]

I don't know why you.

[D]

It's just easier that way.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

Damn.

[A]

It was definitely us.

[C]

What did we not do? Or should we just play the clip?

[A]

Yeah, I'll play the clip. I don't normally like to play clips when people are making valid points. I like to just give you my version of what they said, what we

[B]

do to be twisted in.

[A]

But I'll give it to him. I'll give it to him. Let's see if you want to paraphrase.

[B]

I mean.

[C]

Yeah, you Can.

[A]

Oh, here you. No, go ahead.

[B]

I do watch your podcast quite often.

[C]

Thanks.

[B]

Hey, my name is Marius. Oh, he's talking to you. I do watch your podcast.

[A]

You talking about our stuff.

[B]

I watch today's episode.

[A]

Take some couple notes.

[B]

Just hear me out, please. Whatever you do, please take away Parks's passport, take away his id.

[A]

Yeah. All right, buddy.

[C]

True.

[A]

We got it.

[B]

Audio today was horrendous. This was, if not the worst podcast product wise that like quality wise that y' all have put out. This was. I gotta speak something else that I noticed.

[A]

Here we go.

[C]

Help it in my favor.

[B]

Nobody from that big ass staff went to one single show. I thought maybe I've. I've witnessed it. I watched it plenty. So maybe I'm watching the music aspect of the pod leave. Like this was a hip hop music.

[D]

Cuz I was there.

[B]

Roaring Mall was there. And below the Bel concert, I seen Mall not stand up a bit the whole time I was at the concert.

[D]

Right?

[B]

Yeah, Nobody went to the concert. So we got topics like splitting the bill ed in 2020.

[A]

Yeah, we got.

[B]

We got that right. Hour two today. Instead of like, that's how bad the topics were. Were also like,

[A]

he got. He got 40 seconds left in the clip.

[C]

But were there more valid points than the 40 seconds or was that.

[A]

I don't know. I think that was the only. That was the crux of it for me.

[C]

I wanted to go to the show. I was going to go Tuesday, but.

[B]

Yeah, you were.

[C]

I was stuck.

[B]

I don't understand how us not going to a JCOLE show takes our music card away from the park. Odd though.

[C]

I mean, I think that's putting a little sauce on it.

[B]

Yeah, I think. I think a lot of this is putting sauce on it. Honestly, that being said, we go to

[C]

up here collectively one.

[A]

I don't know. I thought that was a pretty good point.

[C]

One person or another up here goes to every major show. Pretty much, yeah.

[D]

But not by design.

[B]

It just works out that we're fans

[C]

of the music and, you know, so

[D]

if you hadn't gotten stranded, they would still been there.

[B]

You wouldn't.

[C]

I would have went to the show and they would have been. The other difference is, is like, I feel like me and I specifically, if we are going to a show, we kind of ask around, you know what I'm saying? So if I would have been like, yo, I'm going to the show. You want to go to show, you'd probably be like, yeah, actually it. I'll go to the show. Oh, really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, damn.

[C]

Standing on business.

[D]

Why, why, why? What's your.

[B]

It's nothing against Cole, but I'm not the biggest super. I'm not a super J. Cole fan. Like, in terms of going to a show, knowing all the songs, like shout outs to J. Juan, that Jay. I talked to J. Juan Cole is his number one. It's his favorite.

[A]

It's his favorite ever.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

That's his goal. He was at the shows and knew every word to every song. That's who should be there.

[D]

That makes sense.

[B]

I'm gonna know a couple words to some of these songs. 1. I Ain't Never did this before.

[C]

That's the one.

[A]

But.

[B]

But not just that. And this is. Please, this is gonna get taken the wrong way, but I don't mean it this way.

[A]

Yeah, clap at them. Freeze.

[B]

There's nothing about a jcole show that stands out.

[E]

Out.

[B]

Like, it's.

[A]

It's. Let me. Let.

[D]

Let me talk.

[A]

Officially ice.

[B]

I say that. I say that again.

[A]

Tell your socials.

[B]

Officially ice at. Officially ice. One word. I say that because, like, you figure you look at some of these other shows with grand production and all that.

[C]

Like, now he brought the Civic on stage.

[A]

Cold.

[B]

Coldest. Rapping like this.

[A]

I was trying to piece it up with the cold. Cold.

[B]

I'm not dissing.

[D]

I'm not.

[B]

I'm talking about why I'm not. I'm speaking to y' all while I'm not in a rush to go get us a reprieve. All right, what are y' all taking away, then?

[A]

No, I'm right behind you.

[B]

I'm just saying there was nothing that stands out. Like, yo, I have to be here to see this. Yeah, that's what I'm saying for context now. Tomorrow, I will be at MetLife. That's a show you gotta see. You know, you're getting a performance of a show, not somebody. And again, it's great to be able to do it. To stand there, rap for two hours straight. Your fans there know every word. I completely understand that. But for a person that's not a super fan, that's not attractive enough to make me say, hey, I gotta go to this show.

[C]

See, I gotta disagree a little bit. I've seen enough J. Cole streams from Dreamville or wherever festival he's performed at, he puts out a very good show, whether you know every song or not. And I'm the type. I'll go to a show even if I don't know everybody every word.

[B]

I'm going to a show because I am a fan.

[A]

Of this.

[B]

And I want to hear certain songs and I want to rap along with certain songs.

[C]

Enough for you to do that.

[B]

I. I don't.

[D]

That's why he didn't go.

[B]

That's why I didn't go. That's why, Mark.

[A]

Why you didn't go, Tyler Kweli? Cause you did go to Talib Kweli, right?

[D]

I did go see Talib Kweli at the Blue Note on Tuesday.

[A]

Was.

[D]

I was.

[A]

So you've missed Cole for five nights.

[D]

I was tied up those other nights.

[C]

J. Cole might have had a Gaza freestyle too.

[B]

That's all.

[D]

That's all Mark going for KW killed it, by the way. It was a great show.

[C]

I'm sure he did.

[A]

I'm sure he did.

[D]

It was a great show. It was a great show. And you know what? I didn't even. My wife is out of town for five days. And so this. That was like my last night that I could go do something.

[B]

Go find something to do.

[D]

Yeah. I was like, I'll go see.

[C]

There's many ways I could go with this, but I'm going to let.

[D]

I'm doing it the room. Yeah. So that's why. But I'm like, you, Ice, I love Cole. I think he's a great rapper. An elite all time rapper, all of that. I'll listen to his albums, but I don't necessarily want to go to a show.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

I will say that the fall off wasn't my favorite project. So I still would have went to this show, but I could see why.

[D]

It's a lot of fall off for

[C]

a lot of people up here. They might not be rushing to see the fall off.

[D]

And that's what it was for me.

[A]

Listen here, homeboy boy. Darius, whatever your name, Daryl, I'm just

[D]

talking, but no, why you ain't go?

[A]

Well, I'm about to tell him. Give him a piece of my mind. 1. Honestly, I had no idea whatever the jcole was even doing. I said, the week of the show.

[B]

Show. Oh, shit.

[A]

Y' all know Cole is here tomorrow or whatever that was. It wasn't put on my radar.

[C]

I feel like it has been a little bit quiet compared to the other people in his superstar class.

[A]

Yeah, that wasn't like, had I known about this in enough time for me to plan correctly, maybe I would have went on a day where I didn't have nothing to do. But then that's the other thing. Like Ice is saying, I've seen Cole perform already. I don't necessarily necessarily need to see him again. If I knew he was there for five nights. I might have popped out.

[B]

What?

[D]

He doesn't believe you.

[A]

Joe Ish don't have a say in a J. Cole conversation.

[B]

You ain't going.

[A]

Why are you saying that?

[B]

You going to J. Cole's show to see the fall off.

[A]

I don't think he only did the fall off.

[C]

No, I'm sure he didn't. And that album has grown on me

[D]

a little bit, but I don't think

[A]

he only did the fall. I would have gone just to see just cause. Cause I think he's great. But am I the crowd? Am I the crowd that J. Cole is bringing out? No. That's another reason I wouldn't go. There's too many good people at the J. Cole show.

[C]

Good hearted. Good hearted individuals.

[A]

I don't want to go. That's not my show. Where it's a fucking arena full of great people. No. And nigga, I'm tapped. I'm tapped.

[D]

All right, we're done.

[C]

We had that portion of the lion pod. Yeah.

[D]

Damn.

[B]

It was early too.

[C]

No.

[A]

Do you know how much I spend on tweets when I go to these shits?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

I don't just have the 30 for cold, so. Sorry.

[B]

I don't. It wouldn't have been 30.

[A]

I don't. I don't have the 20 to go to cold. He bringing up Mo. You think Joe Button is going to sit in between the people?

[B]

Like. No.

[A]

Hell no. Know crazy as hell.

[B]

Some glizzies with extra style. Crowd about 800 would have got it done.

[A]

What the you talking about?

[C]

30.

[B]

It's cool, though.

[A]

You trying to be funny. I'm not trying to. I'm not playing with the cold fan. Dude made a valid point. I didn't know it was five show and I think it was five. And you. What part of hip hop are we in now where I'm getting criticized for not going to a show?

[B]

That's the part I want to go to.

[A]

The show I want to go to.

[B]

That's the part I didn't. I still don't understand, bro.

[A]

It ain't like we talk about a up and coming and artists that really need our commentary on it. Cole is okay. They sold out the Garden.

[D]

I think it's the other side. Yeah, he's fine. I think it's.

[B]

It wasn't. It wasn't five shows at the Garden. He did Barclays, the Garden, and I think UBS or something like that still three. But I'm just saying it's still five

[C]

sold out arena days. No no, for sure.

[D]

I don't think it's that he needs it. I think it's more the other end. I think the Cole fans feel like the same way. We could never ignore Jay Z in

[B]

the Bronx or Drake.

[A]

Let's not be foolish. Let's not be foolish.

[C]

Let's not get crazy.

[D]

Know they're saying. I think they're wrong. I'm just telling you that they feel like he's such a big artist and this is such a big event. That is irresponsible.

[B]

That's the part that's off right there.

[A]

That's the part that's off.

[B]

When you said it's such a big event, right? It's not such a big event.

[D]

I agree.

[C]

I think that's wrong.

[D]

But I hear them saying that.

[C]

I think that's wrong.

[D]

I hear them saying that.

[A]

We go to the Drake shows.

[C]

We have the Kendrick shows.

[A]

But wait, that's not true. Drake did seven nights up here. I didn't go to now one of them.

[D]

We covered it, though.

[B]

The thing is, we covered it to Joe's point. Fam. Cole was coming, and it's not disrespect. It's just a lot of. Didn't even know he was coming.

[D]

I didn't really realize it.

[A]

I think that's.

[B]

So when Drake is coming and when. When Jay Z is coming, the town is buzzing because they know they coming. My knew Jay Z was coming two months before the show, knew the breakdown of the show before he added the extra show dog was here.

[D]

When I looked at my. My, My. My phone, the concert.

[C]

I think it's pretty unfair to compare J. Cole to Jason.

[B]

I think so, too.

[D]

I agree. But the jcole fans online were saying.

[B]

That's what they're saying.

[D]

They were treating it like we missed this big music event, like a whole event. I'm saying that's J Dick.

[B]

But y' all wouldn't cover Cole, and.

[C]

Well, that's unfair for the fans to say that.

[D]

That's what I'm saying. I think they're wrong.

[B]

That's not quite the same.

[A]

I agree.

[B]

Shout out to the cold fans. I hope y' all went to the shows. And when he comes to your city, I hope you go to the shows.

[C]

If he comes somewhere close, I'm gonna go. I don't know if he's. I don't know what he's got left left in the. In the neighborhood, but I'm tapped.

[D]

Let me know how it is.

[C]

Turks. Whoop my ass.

[A]

Yeah, yo, I ain't gonna hold you Man, I gotta save up for Cole. Like, that's. That's not a immediate. I hate this nigga. That's not a. I'm not going. Chase the chase. Sorry.

[B]

One chase is gonna get it done.

[D]

You know

[B]

they gonna get.

[A]

You little Kit Kat citizens is gonna get it done. You better stop playing, all right?

[B]

They gonna jump on your ass.

[A]

Yeah, what's your. Tell them? Your socials? No. Tell them, though. Tell them, though. Where can they find you at? They hate Melon. They already hate me.

[B]

You can't be mad at somebody that they not a big enough fan to do that.

[C]

What's that?

[D]

You.

[B]

You can't be mad at somebody that they're not a big enough fan to go support what you supporting. That's the real conversation. Like, what are we talking about? Like, I've got people. I was arguing with somebody yesterday because he's like. And I don't usually do it. I just be like, you niggas talk. But this particular person, because I kind of fucked with him a little bit, and I know his stance. He's like a super cold fan. So I get it. But it's like you getting mad because people are not as passionate about a person that you are. Like, dog, that's your. That's your. If that's what you. I don't get here. I don't come in here and get mad when y' all don't with Jeezy show as much as I do. Like, that's who I listen to.

[C]

That's fair. I do think that we have been very hype about J. Cole projects and songs.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So that's. That's why I think that they do have a valid.

[B]

Well, that's the other part, though. No, no, that's the part that they missing. That's the part that we were very hyped for the fall off, and a lot of that was subpar and it didn't deliver. So now is. Sleep. Sleep.

[A]

All right. This will be the last time I try to piece something. No, We been outdoor. The new.

[B]

In terms of. In terms of cold albums, the fall off wasn't tagged. It wasn't. It's okay to say that.

[A]

I heard you, man. But.

[B]

But it's like. It's like a. I broke one of the ten Commandments if I say it or something.

[C]

Yeah, that's true.

[B]

And that's my problem. Like, yo, bro, it's okay. It ain't. It's not like we on them. That's my thing. We ain't said a word. No, I'm talking about. No, no, no, no, no.

[C]

I'm talking about.

[B]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Cuz I see what y' all doing. I'm talking about prior to this. Prior to this conversation. So you get sweets for prior to this conversation. It's not like anyone came in here on Cole. All we did was just not go to the show.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

That's not a problem. They tell her, yo, y' all pick the aside. What side?

[D]

There's a side in this.

[B]

That's my point.

[A]

No, none of them is stupid enough to say that to me.

[B]

Yo, yo, yo, that whole pocket. They clearly picked a side. That's why they not covering cold. They not going to the show.

[A]

What?

[C]

I didn't know there was a. This doesn't fall into the side.

[B]

I go beefing with somebody I don't know.

[A]

Hey, yo, check this out. I'm wanting to disassociate myself from all you hip hop. I be honest with you. Hey, whatever side is going on, I want to be on my own island. I don't give a about none of the people.

[C]

It's overrated, by the way.

[A]

I don't care. I don't care, bro. Damn. Anyway, anyways. Shout out to col.

[C]

I'm try. I'm going try to go if it comes somewhere close, but I'm not getting on the plane.

[D]

Let me. Let me know. Let me know when you go.

[C]

I will.

[D]

So I can get the review.

[B]

You can go to Philly.

[C]

That's true.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

I'm not flying somewhere where I could get stuck in domestic only for a while. That was boy.

[A]

And when I don't.

[B]

When.

[A]

When it's a big artist, I say this in closing, because I'll drag this. But when there's a big, big artist in town doing multiple shows and I don't hear about it, I assume that that artist is taking the gate. Taking the gate, taking every dollar from the gate. Because I'm going to sell this out. I don't need to go to a third party. I don't need the promoter to come in here. The things that artists do to sell these venues out. I don't have to do it.

[C]

That's a good point.

[A]

I'm taking all of this money so

[C]

he has that he has.

[A]

So when I didn't know. So when I didn't hear about it, I didn't say like, oh, jcole falling off. I'm just like, he getting his money.

[C]

Word.

[A]

Shout out to him.

[C]

Shout out.

[B]

Salute for selling out five shows in New York.

[C]

That's amazing.

[B]

And salute for that.

[A]

And it's up though, cuz. You right, Cole fan. Somebody is going to come in here and sell out five nights of sobs and we're going to spend 45 minutes on it. What else is important or unimportant? Anything else in music is new music out. Look, we not a music bar.

[C]

It was a really slow week. It was a really slow week. I didn't buy a single album this week or song, I don't think.

[B]

Oh, I bought an album.

[C]

What you bought?

[B]

I bought an album at 12:01 push iy.

[A]

Oh, God.

[B]

Yep. What?

[D]

Shot you? What push iy.

[B]

You're damn right.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Hip hop card.

[A]

Have you ever met Ice?

[B]

That is. That is poo shit club.

[C]

No, no, he's a sh.

[B]

But it kind of. Because out of nowhere there was an announcement. They posted, you know, the album was dropping Friday, and they put a single out and everybody ran to see, oh, this is, you know, Gucci. It's still 10:17. Just threw an album out.

[C]

Is this a from jail album?

[B]

No, she's been home. Oh, he's been home. And then did that and went back to jail.

[C]

Oh, I see.

[B]

So this was recorded.

[A]

And do not be liking home. Got good couches, furniture, something.

[B]

And all of this, you could. You could hear it like the content album. Yeah, this was recorded since he came home. These ain't old records.

[C]

This is post robbery.

[B]

No, he's been in jail since robbery, I think. So came home.

[C]

Oh, I see. I see.

[B]

Was out for a couple months.

[D]

Oh, I see.

[B]

And then went. So in that time frame, he made this album.

[C]

Got it. So this is not him reflecting upon the thing that he's currently incarcerated for. This is him reflecting on the previous incarceration.

[B]

Well, there are some lines in there. And they, you know, nowadays with certain rappers, because of the whole lyrics thing, they muting lines and putting bleeps in here. Yeah, there are certain lines in there to me, that might have been reflecting on that particular incident.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Because that happened in, I want to say, like, January or something. He wasn't arrested until later on. So if I'm out and I'm still recording and I'm talking about all the shit that I be doing. Cause he's clear, Keeps it real. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

He.

[B]

This is like. He says it multiple times this album. I am not a rapper. What he said. I am a street nigga that just happens to rap about the shit that I do.

[D]

That's a good strategy.

[B]

Like, I'm telling. I'm telling y' All.

[D]

He's facing criminal charges.

[B]

Well, the first line in the album is, this is for entertainment purposes only.

[D]

That'll clear him.

[B]

That'll convince you. Like, I'm listening to this.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, he was just joking.

[B]

I've accepted I am part of the problem. It hit me today. I'm late. I'm late to the problem. Not five years ago. Nah, nah, nah, nah. But I'm part of the problem, cuz I was in the car, like, oh, this talking. But then it's like, damn, wait, he really doing it. It's not good, but it sound good. So now conflicted.

[D]

So the album is good, though?

[B]

The album is good. If you like his music.

[C]

If you like the truth.

[B]

Well, something about the truth. Make it.

[D]

You want to hear the truth.

[B]

So it is good. If you're into that. He's really good at that. Now, I'm not saying a regular fan who just don't want to hear this bang, bang, shoot him up shit is going to like it. But those who do, he's great at it.

[C]

Is there anything that you should play off this that would make us become fans, or should we not play it?

[B]

I don't want to promote this.

[D]

We just. This whole conversation is doing it.

[A]

We here now. Come on. Give me.

[B]

Give me a little something off that.

[A]

[B]

They were discussing Jalen Brunson versus Luca. Listen, all due respect, that debate is over. That debate should have never been a debate. Don't put Luca's name next to Jalen Brunson. He is inferior. He is lesser than Then he belongs on a different tier, different caliber, two different people. Jaylen Brunson is way better than Luca. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Way, way better than.

[B]

You said you SM wise on that way. Yo, you said you put it to bed.

That's what I said. That's what I said.

[B]

What are you using to measure that? Nothing. A a a centimeter. I don't know what kind of ruler they even if Let me tell you something. How'd you get the way Jalen Brunson the Statue of Liberty, Donald Trump and some more to LA for Luca is

[A]

you hide you on crack.

[D]

Wait, so you said Nick you high as a kite if offer was made Jaylen for Luca right now you're saying that the the Lakers don't take it the Knicks do take it to you

Chemistry team is built.

[B]

So it's not about J. Jalen Brunson. But if you talking about the chemistry was built. I'm not him. What I'm saying is you. If we just won a chip. I'm not changing none of the position.

[D]

They were drafting and both players were on the board.

[B]

Just saying right now they had a lottery and. And. And the slate is clear.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

If you don't think Dolan is taking Luca over Jalen Brunson at your mom.

[A]

There's no GM that if they had a lottery at the time that Luca was drafted.

[B]

No, I'm talking about tomorrow.

[A]

Cause Jaylen's in that same draft.

[B]

I'm talking about tomorrow.

[A]

He's a second round pick.

[D]

Yeah. So he said right now. Now if you could do it.

[A]

Oh, no. Majority lead. Take Jalen Brunson. Majority lead, take Jalen Brunson.

[D]

Easy. Easy. Ice.

[A]

To answer your question, yeah. It's all of the things that the analysts and experts and sports people don't account for that I'm putting away in the intangibles. I'm putting away. And yes, he's coachable, important.

[B]

Very important.

[C]

Team player.

[A]

Very important.

[C]

Probably more than Luka, I think.

[D]

Definitely.

[A]

He got Luka beat on the immeasurables by a distance. By a long distance. I seen Luca in the finals. Everybody ran right by him. Everybody ran by him. He was a cone out there. He was hunted.

[B]

A turnstile. I saw.

[A]

I saw Jalen Brunson get hunted against the Pacers. And that never happened. Happened again. Know why? Because in the summer he's working on his game. He's not going to grab Budweisers and drink Luca Doncic. What else? Jalen is way more clutch than him. Way more clutch. Way more clutch than him.

[B]

He's not way.

[A]

He's way more clutch than Lucas.

[B]

Jalen Brunson is the most clutch player in the NBA. Yeah, but he's not way more clutch than Lucas.

[C]

He's one of the more clutch players ever. He's ever see.

[B]

Ever. Yeah, I'm. Look, bro, I'm honest.

[A]

Luca ain't in the top three of that. When they pull up the advanced analytics and you see cl, you see sga, you see Jalen. And who cares who's third? Those are the two names that you really see. Jalen Brunson is way, way more clutch than Luca. What else?

[B]

Yo, you bug.

[A]

What else? His IQ Way better than start.

[B]

Should start saying fluff number one. How do you measure somebody's iq?

[A]

By what you do with key points. By what you do with key points in the game.

[B]

They both take a ton of bad shots in crucial situations in the game.

[A]

No, that's not true. That's not true. That's not true. No.

[B]

That don't mean it's not a bad shot. It's not a bad decision. That's not true.

[D]

If you make it.

[C]

It's not a bad shot.

[D]

If you're making it a high clip at some point. Yeah, it may not be a traditionally good. I know what you're saying.

[B]

Lucky shot.

[D]

But if I'm making.

[B]

That's not a bad shot.

[D]

This is. Here's what I say just to jump in real quick. I think both are bad defenders.

[B]

Both are bad.

[A]

One is much better.

[D]

I agree. But. But Luka, for me, it's not just that, that. It's that Luka gives up on defense.

[B]

He don't give effort.

[D]

He pouts and he blames his teammates.

[A]

That's why I'm confused why this is even a conversation.

[B]

And I'm about to tell you. I'm about to tell you why, though. I'm about to tell you why. Jalen Brunson is new to stardom. That's number one. Stars are mostly every star that we've ever seen in the NBA. They are. Kobe Bryant, rest in Peace, is my. Probably my. My number one player ever. He was a LeBron James, a Michael Jordan, a Carl Malone, a Barkley. They all. When it come to refereeing and all of that other stuff. A lot of these. No, when I say. I mean, like, all of them do it. Jalen Brunson is new to stardom, so we gonna see how he acts in year two or three. Because in the playoffs, he was. Was bitching.

[D]

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about.

[A]

You ain't gonna see him quit in a game.

[D]

I ain't talking about the refs. I'm talking about with his teammates. And for example, in. In when Luca was getting the better leader. Yeah. Luka on defense, when he gets beat, he gives up. He complains to his. Yeah, I'm fine with that. Blonde is not in his combo.

[A]

But unlike. Unlike Jalen Brunson.

[D]

Unlike Jalen Brunson, who down 30 is out there.

[A]

The Knicks don't do what they do. If he don't give you what he give you down 30 man times in the playoff.

[B]

Listen, I'm not a Real leader, good winner.

[A]

Y. I don't want to hear nothing about.

[C]

I do think that there could be a world in which Luca, long term could look like Harden or some of these players who are amazing offensive players that never could get it done because of the intangible that. That Jaylen Brunson has. Now, that being said, I think Luke's a bigger star.

[B]

Let me ask y'.

[D]

All. But.

[B]

But I want everybody to be honest. Go ahead.

[D]

I was just say the other piece of it though, the other side of that coin is longterm because they both. Neither of them are particularly athletic and when point guards fall off, they fall off a cliff. Typically, yeah, Luka is bigger, is much bigger and will probably be effective for a longer period of time than Jalen. But right now, at this moment, maybe. I'm saying maybe. But right now, at this moment, I do think Jalen is more efficient and more effective.

[A]

He's more durable right now. Say the word. He's more durable. He's more available. All of the things that they don't account for. He has his sliders. I don't worry about the.

[D]

I just don't think he's way.

[A]

I don't think he's way.

[D]

I think they're the same tier, but Jaylen's higher. That's what I would say.

[E]

Right.

[C]

I agree with that.

[A]

Give me the guy that, that is going to give his all and his effort and well, he won it when Nobody wanted for 53 years. Yeah, that counts for something.

[B]

I like Jaylen, so I'm not sure I've come in here and said, yo, he's the most clutch player damn near I've ever seen. I'm not on Jalen Brunson. I'm just, I, I'm. I don't hold the bias that you have when it comes to evaluating talent. Yo, dog. Luca do branch is 6, 8, 6 9, handles the ball, could pass with his eyes closed, could shoot the three, got a mid range game. He has all of this.

[A]

Is he better than Kyrie as far as basketball? That's my question. Because I have Jalen Brunson on a Kyrie Irving tier.

[B]

I would take Luca if I was starting a team.

[A]

Damn, you love that.

[B]

No, I'm.

[D]

Who do you think?

[A]

Who do you think is a better basketball player? And then we move on. We got more Luke in the.

[B]

To get Kyrie, probably. Yeah, but Kyrie, I have Jaylen Brunson family.

[A]

I'm not underneath Kyrie Irving. Just to be clear on where I stand for my eye test, but we got more Luca news. Yeah, somebody give it to me. Luca, baby. Moms is. Is taking them to the cleaners, right?

[B]

Oh, I am.

[A]

Yo, I found somebody. Oh, they moved it. Now, one of y', all, I found somebody's child support ticket in here that y' all left. I found. It was in here. It was sitting right here. Somebody must have moved and put in their pocket.

[B]

Wasn't mine.

[A]

I saved it.

[B]

How much was it?

[A]

525.

[B]

Definitely wasn't mine.

[A]

I was like, ooh, somebody Shit went out.

[B]

I wish I thought of you.

[A]

Nah.

[D]

Five. What? No.

[B]

A week. Oh, that wasn't mine. Mine's still more than that.

[D]

Damn.

[A]

Damn, nigga, I got so many questions. Ask one of them.

[D]

Nope.

[A]

Answer anyway.

[B]

I'm not gonna answer anyway.

[D]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

And if they go to college, you still gotta pay that shit. That's a bullshit.

[B]

Shorty won 50.

[D]

Yes. So Luka Doncic's ex is asking for $50 million to settle their custody.

[C]

50 million battle.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

Oh, yes.

[D]

Now, she said 80% of the payout. 80% of the payout would be for

[B]

her

[D]

and the other 20% would be for their two children.

[C]

Oh, they have two kids?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

40 mil for me. I mean, how old are the kids?

[D]

Additionally, she wanted in her proposed settlement for Dick to reduce his time with the two daughters from two days a week to just one. So less time, more money.

[B]

More money. Yeah, that's. That's.

[A]

Could never be Jaylen look a better dad. All the that men don't get credit for. Got it, bro.

[B]

How do you have.

[A]

But that was his ex fiance, right?

[D]

Yes. It wasn't his ex wife. His ex fiance.

[A]

So that had me ready to call an attorney, cuz there must be something I'm missing.

[D]

But it's not. It's not in the United States. So their laws are different.

[B]

No. So what happened was she was in the United States and the law was more beneficial to her if she went back. So she went back on purpose to file over there.

[A]

Well, that's the game. You saying that. That the girls. The girls more now they got attorneys too.

[D]

Yeah, but. But a different le for free.

[A]

That's the thing. That's the thing. They don't tell you the ladies attorneys are free.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

And guess what? They going to fight like a cheetah, cuz they getting paid off of what?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

That's where their money come from.

[D]

So this new claim, which is in Slovenia, it could be a situation. I don't know. Slovenian law.

[C]

I'M a little rusty. You don't.

[A]

You don't.

[C]

I thought you were a pro.

[D]

It's US Dollars, for sure. But, you know, here, some of it will be like, are you married or are you not? Which is why I was making the distinction between being a fiance versus a wife. I don't know if in Slovenia, it matters. In some places, common law is a thing. And in some places, just having the

[A]

kids is a thing.

[B]

Children matters.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

That's why I say it gotta be something I'm missing. Because to ask for that means that there's something written down that says, yeah, this is the ballpark that we in.

[B]

It's confused, like, so she's not looking for something monthly. She wants a lump sum.

[D]

Lump sum. Which is also different.

[B]

No, the gangster part is the fact that you had the gall to say, no. 80% is mine. Most mothers will be like, yo, 80% is for the kids. I only want the 20.

[A]

That's what leads me to this. Gotta be some fiance.

[D]

Which. What do you think about that potentially, y', all, fiance law, where you say, look, we got these two kids, but also, like, we were getting married.

[A]

I think I better hurry up and gain an understanding.

[D]

There's a lifestyle here, right?

[B]

Might be a little beneficial.

[D]

You left me here, and now I'm stuck with this life that I'm not going to have. And so part of the money I'm asking for is almost like. It sounds like. Almost like damages. You know what I'm saying?

[B]

Like, it does. Hey, Mark, can you move? It does sound like damages, but my thing is this. Yo, fam. And I'm just. Yo, dog. I think that the man should be responsible for taking care of his children, dog. The. I don't like the. I just. Me personally, I don't like the lifestyle argument.

[C]

I do.

[B]

I don't like the.

[A]

I think it's valid.

[B]

I don't like the lifestyle argument because there are things that the man was accustomed to in our marriage, too.

[A]

Like what? That's why. That's why. Wait, what? Oh, he lost me with what?

[C]

He talking about blowjobs.

[D]

Yo.

[B]

Listen to y', all nasty me.

[D]

You did this.

[B]

I wasn't even talking.

[D]

That's the blowjob.

[B]

Yo, Chris Rock said that. I was making a joke. Now.

[A]

You Chris Rock.

[C]

No, no, no.

[A]

I'm saying this.

[B]

Whatever the woman was accustomed to during the marriage period, right? The man had some shit that he was accustomed to. Whatever their responsibility.

[A]

Slow down, because I just want us to be correct. The rule is not whatever you were accustomed to standard of living.

[C]

It's.

[A]

Yes, okay.

[C]

And I agree with that.

[D]

I agree with that.

[E]

Some. Some.

[B]

Some of my standards. I mean, you can still go do that, though.

[C]

Yeah, you can still. You can still get a blowjob if she make $200 million or whatever the. You may.

[B]

Yeah, she can still.

[E]

A car.

[C]

No, she can't.

[D]

But what kind of car? Standard of living. There you go.

[C]

Standard.

[B]

Chris Rock said, yo, I'm used to payments.

[D]

You know what I'm saying?

[A]

Do Chris Rock have kids?

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah, of course.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Don't. On Chris Rock.

[A]

I would never. On Chris Rock.

[D]

We love Chris Rock and his wonderful

[A]

kids, and he's the man. And Chris Rock you bump into out here.

[B]

I bump into him all the time.

[A]

And his brother. Yeah. And Tony Rock. Tony's a mustard.

[B]

Tony might bump back.

[A]

Tony bump. I don't have nothing bad. I'm a rock.

[B]

No, Chris Rock is amazing.

[D]

But no, I mean, I think standard of living matters. I also think, though, it's important.

[A]

Ish. I don't even believe that.

[D]

Ish.

[A]

Believe what he said.

[B]

No, listen to what I'm saying. What I'm saying is this. I believe that some of these things should not necessarily be obligation. Like, I just don't believe that. I think that when this marriage fails, the marriage failed for whatever reason, whether the man is the culprit, the woman is the culprit. I do think some of those things matter. That what led us, like, obsessive cheating, abuse, and shit like that. Now that matters. And it should be on a scale. I just don't think that the law should be black and white.

[C]

Boom.

[B]

This is what happens. And now I'm responsible for taking care of this person. Or even the flip side, where the woman has the money.

[C]

Okay, that's good.

[B]

Cause nowadays women are on the short end of the stick sometimes. I don't believe that this woman should be responsible for taking care of this man if they was married for nine years and having to take care of him for nine years or whatever.

[C]

Ultimatum has the kid.

[A]

That's what Remy kind of said on the stage. That I won't touch on, because I love Remy and I love Pat. But she was on stage saying, hey, this is what's taking so long with my divorce. Like, I'm not giving half yo and bro.

[B]

And my thing is, yo, fam.

[A]

And again, I don't know. The pap's asking for. I'm staying out.

[B]

You gotta go back to work. You gotta go back to work. Like you.

[D]

Sometimes you can't so. And sometimes you've lost things. So for example, if I'm making like you said, $200 million and this person was a schoolteacher, working every day, good living, honest living, all that. And now for 10 years, you live the lifestyle based on the 200 million, not on the 60,000. And then to say, well, just go back to teaching. Cool. But I have a certain house, a certain lifestyle. There's certain things I'm accustomed to that now that's a hell of a drop right away. And I think.

[A]

Are you arguing for the ex wife for the bm? I don't understand it sound like ex wife argument.

[B]

I think they.

[A]

That's why I'm asking.

[B]

I think they drastically different.

[A]

But cuz, cuz, if you my BM and you got my kid and then we don't work out and then you got to move and you move with

[B]

and I'm rich, then my kids should want my kid. Your kids should have. There's a side of this that nobody ever kid should bear the fruits of your labor. Yeah, her getting 40 out of the $50 million, that's a different tree.

[A]

Her too, as the mother, bro.

[B]

No, but there's a side of this that always seems like another option. Always gets overlooked. It always sound like condoms.

[A]

No, no.

[C]

For some reason.

[B]

No, no, no.

[A]

I'm not saying that's preposterous.

[B]

No.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. What the fuck you talking about? I see somebody saying.

[B]

I'm just talking about like, do none of you niggas want your kid? Cause that's what it always. It always seemed like, yo, we split up, you take the kid and you keep the kid and do like it just. I never hear the side of the dude that want the kid. What do you mean it's not going to happen? That's a possibility. Like, and then, so now, so now if you don't want your kid and she got your kid, then yeah, nigga, you got to pay that. You saying you don't want your kid? I'm saying a lot of. I don't really want to go down this thing with you because yo, dog, the, the odds are not necessarily in your favor.

[D]

I'm just.

[A]

In whose favor?

[B]

The man's. He's saying the man, when they are fighting for custody, the odds don't necessarily. For custody. That's what I'm.

[D]

That's what I'm talking about.

[B]

A lot of dudes are not fighting for custody. They just fighting for. I don't want to give her this much money a month. A lot of dudes. I'm not saying everybody. That's a different conversation.

[D]

That's the one he's having.

[B]

That's the one I'm talking about. That's the third part. But that's a totally different conversation.

[D]

Well, and again, we don't know, but I would suspect that as an NBA player, he probably doesn't want the kid

[B]

five days a week.

[D]

No, he could and have help. But, but to your point, that's a hard argument to make. I don't know about Slovenia, but in the United States it's hard for a dad unless the mom is real, like in a real up situation. Demonstrably, it's hard for a dude to get majority custody. But you can get, you can split, you can split custody split and things like that. It's a tough, it's a tough argument. But where I was going with this,

[B]

bro, that nigga could be an accountant. He ain't got to be going six

[D]

months out the what we talking about. But where I was going was, you know, I agree about the standard of living and it shouldn't have a big drop off whether you're man or woman. But I also think people have a right to change their mind. And you know, if I agree to marry you, I know what I'm getting into. I know the commitment I'm making. I know the legal ramifications. I know all the things that we get to. But if we're dating, even if I propose and then change my mind, I'm still in for $50 million. I mean, at what point can you make a different choice?

[B]

How old did it get?

[D]

That's what I don't like.

[B]

Cause that's the part that also matters to me. Because if y' all have been engaged in long engagement and your kids are nine years old, but for the last nine years they're used to this certain lifestyle of living. And now you got. I get certain little tweaks in there. But if these are young children, I

[D]

think they gotta be.

[B]

You can't use the use to this lifestyle part. See, I think, I think that, I disagree with that too. Yeah, I think that's disagree. I agree with the lifestyle part. Like, yo, fam, if we lived in a $10 million house when we were

[D]

together, two years old and months old.

[B]

And if you and you go by this lady, the kids ain't used to nothing it up. No, if you go buy the woman a two million dollar house, bro, that's not like. Yo, most Americans, most people in the world don't live in a Two million dollar house like we, we. It don't got to be rags, riches.

[C]

That's a big caveat that we don't know. If that's in the equation, I'm just

[B]

throwing it out like, did he buy

[C]

her a 10 million dollar house or whatever?

[B]

No, I'm saying if.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Yo, fam, if you go take care of your kids, your kids should have the best schools possible. You should drive the best cars possible. You should live in the best neighborhood possible, because those are all the things that you would prefer for your children. But me giving you $50 million now that you could go get married to the next. And he could be benefiting off my $50 million, I think is unfair.

[C]

I think it would depend. Yeah.

[B]

If.

[C]

If the situation was, you know, I bought her a house, I bought her a Land Rover or something, you know, some dope.

[B]

You got the black card.

[C]

I already paid for the college that's in the trust. And you're still trying to get the 50 million then I agree. That might be a little different.

[A]

Child support topics always do send this room in a tizzy. They do, they do. Every time we find out what some nigga paying well, gotta pay this room

[B]

like that ain't even child support. She said 40% is for her.

[A]

10.

[B]

I mean, 20 was. I mean, 40 million, she said specifically is for her. And the 10 is for the kids.

[A]

Spend it. Spend that.

[B]

Chris Rock said.

[C]

I understand.

[A]

What else? What else is important? What else needs our attention?

[D]

Can somebody explain this? Malice stole a hot dog thing to me on the board.

[C]

Huh? Yeah.

[B]

Cloud chasing.

[D]

I have no. I just didn't catch it.

[B]

So. So the clips were in Chicago for Lollapalooza festival.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

And Malice had stopped by. I don't know the name of the place, but it was a hot dog spot that's, I guess is very well known in the area.

[C]

Wiener Circle.

[B]

I don't know.

[D]

Wait, there's a place called Wiener Circle.

[A]

Now, we done been all over the

[B]

world

[A]

touring, and every day we've been

[B]

saying how good it's been, how easy

[A]

it's been, how steady it's been.

[D]

No problems, no Joe Button.

[B]

And the day before yesterday, I'm gonna

[A]

decide to steal me a hot dog.

[B]

Malice?

[D]

Yes, the guy, whatever the he want

[A]

to be from the rap group Eclipse.

[B]

Like I said, he probably was salty because I called him Flavor Flame.

[D]

Oh, Navita,

[A]

Thank God we got the proof. In the video it's showing when he went in the hot dog spot and they jumped on his dick, immediately move

[B]

customers out the way.

[A]

Pulled him to the front of the

[B]

line, said, move out the way.

[A]

Ask for a little Polish hot dog.

[C]

You gotta get split.

[A]

Chicago Glizzy.

[C]

That's the one.

[A]

He's taking orders. He's lit.

[C]

Gotta get the Chicago Glizzy. The jalapeno and all that on there.

[D]

Look.

[A]

Now she want tickets to the show. Speed them up,

[C]

Chicago.

[A]

I feel bad watching this. So anyway, he got the footage. Because this is long. I want to keep playing this. He got the footage of him not.

[D]

Coming out. God bless.

[A]

Thank you. Bad. Sweet.

[D]

Right?

[B]

Also in that. In that clip. I don't know if it translated well, but she's on the tape saying, that's on me. She said it's on saying it.

[C]

So he didn't steal nothing?

[B]

No, no. He didn't steal a thing.

[A]

No malice. Didn't steal, I would expect.

[C]

He's a man of God.

[A]

That's what I'm saying.

[B]

He's a man of decency.

[C]

That too.

[A]

$9 and means well. Decency. He comes with God.

[B]

Cory don't believe in God.

[A]

Well, Cory's. Cory ain't decent. Cory, we know. And Neil Degrasse.

[D]

So homegirl went. Oh, yeah. So homegirl, the next day, I guess, or whatever, just said that he went

[B]

online and was in, kicking his back. Like that video that. That clip that Joe just played, it was chopped up of her saying something and then him, like, kind of showing the exact opposite. She just put that whole clip out, basically telling folks he came in. He must have been mad because I called him. Flavor Flav asked for this hot dog, didn't pay for it. Left like, he's still. And I want my money. Like that. And then he just. Hey, let me just upload this and show y' all what really happened.

[D]

I hate people, yo.

[B]

Yeah, this is nuts. Yeah.

[D]

I hate people.

[A]

This is not.

[B]

And the bad part is, if he had a footage right, they would forever

[C]

label him a hot dog.

[B]

Like, up yet. You know what I mean?

[C]

That's true. You wouldn't be able to get no. No raps.

[B]

And it was. That was a good.

[A]

He was wonderful. And he was 6 foot 5.

[C]

Word like really tall.

[A]

As big as hell in Park's basement. Definitely re uploading that on some Mark Lamar Hill shit. And what I did, just. Just to hype myself up and get ready, I turned on Paramount plus and gave another viewing to the Predator. And that's their 2025 Chris Hansen doc. And it's great. No, it's great.

[C]

It's a doc or a reenactment?

[A]

No, it's a doc. Oh, and it's great.

[C]

Did you watch the Idaho murder shit yet?

[A]

Yes. Hated it.

[C]

Did you really?

[A]

I hate when we have no idea why the person killed people.

[C]

Yeah, but I mean, I think that's just the nature of this case.

[A]

I. I would like a motive sometimes.

[C]

I would do.

[D]

Some people don't know how to do crime.

[A]

Do you mean

[D]

feel like hey, yo.

[B]

You seen in Iowa? Yeah, they them tell me but they a tell me why they did it. I ain't like they did just smash,

[C]

but I think that the dude. The dude was just off. He was. He was like a social incel kind of dude and he went to. To murder school to learn how people do crimes and get away with it. He went to, like, crime school, like criminology or whatever.

[B]

Got it.

[C]

PhD shit. Like doctoral level fucking crime shit. And then did a mass murder.

[B]

And how to get away with murder,

[C]

seemingly for no reason.

[B]

Dexter.

[A]

I felt bad for the dude.

[C]

I felt bad for everybody, obviously, but. Yeah, of course.

[A]

But the dude is just sleep on the first floor. Like, yeah, yeah, I realize y' all down with me.

[C]

What's that?

[B]

Like in a different way?

[C]

Yeah. What's the white version of Pooh Shisty? Because this is what the idol

[A]

in the stories we talk about, justice happened.

[B]

Justice happened here, too.

[A]

That remains to be seen. That remains to be seen. If I was the judge, it would be. It would have been told justice. I tell you that one defense.

[B]

Yo, get out. Yo, sit down. You tell attorney, sit down. Yo, just sit down.

[A]

So I pull up the Predator shit on. On Paramount plus. And I get to watching it, right? And at some point in the middle of it, they talk about the. How Dateline and Chris Hansen inspired. During a certain year, all of these people in the street to now try to lure the pedophiles in and filmed them.

[B]

They was beating them up.

[A]

And beat them up, arrest them.

[C]

I remember that little run.

[B]

So they.

[A]

So they panned to this black guy who's a YouTuber. He's just a YouTuber. And he tells you, I'm just here for clicks. But he's putting the blazer on.

[C]

Not diminish YouTubers.

[A]

And he said, I'm not diminishing them. But he's saying, I'm just here for clicks. I'm not invested in none of this. I'm putting my blazer on. I'm lowering the pedophiles in. And we're gonna get them. I'm gonna work with law enforcement. So he got a dude there that's not a cop, but it's a bad. He could. He bought a badge from Amazon or somewhere.

[C]

That's a bad move.

[A]

And he got, like, a Foot Locker shirt on that does say police. But the dude is a YouTuber. So he's explaining it like a YouTuber. He's saying, yo, man on the screen, that's the cop. He said, they can't read the print on the badge.

[E]

Badge.

[A]

This is a cop. So this is how we doing it. This is how we lowering them in, right?

[C]

That's a cry.

[A]

So here's. So here's what I'm getting at, which is the funny part of a not so funny story. I guess he go hide in the closet. Oh, like Chris Hansen Yeah, yeah, yeah. He hide in the closet with the badge. No, the cop dude is outside somewhere. It's just him and his cameraman. But they're showing it. They're showing. They open the closet and they go in there.

[B]

Get the boo boo. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[A]

So the pedophiles come. But they just showed us Chris Hansen's version, which is he. He in the cl. He's unseen. The pedophiles come in, the decoys is getting them in there. So they pretending to be 13 years old. They do all that. So now we seeing the YouTuber version. So the pedophile come in. The pedophile say. The first one say, yo, usually you 14. She's like, yeah. She like, huh? Oh, no.

[B]

All this shit going left on you.

[A]

You don't look like you. She said, well, in my pictures I do.

[B]

Cool.

[A]

The next pedophile come in, they. They lock him up or do whatever they. Okay. Next pedophile come in, he say, man, what the. So now me and my girl is like, oh, we gotta see the decoy. We gotta see the decoy. They showed the decoy. The YouTuber's decoy is 39, 41, Spanish bitch. Big, heavyset, chunky. Look, every bit of 43 years old skin fucked up. Yo, the pedophile. I was like, yo, what the is this?

[D]

Get me out of here.

[A]

Oh. Oh, God. Yo, you all doing this? Yes. Oh, yo. And then for the next five minutes, they keep the camera on the decoy. They show in a. A different outfit. We like, yo, this look older and older. Every time she change clothes. I'd have been a vow. Imagine in that. Oh, my God. Anyway, I just want Paramount plus watch it and just fast forward to like 50 minutes in so you can see the decoy. I'm Talking about that, I.D.

[C]

made me think different about them YouTube murder guys because, like, they was putting the ex boyfriend up. Like, oh, he did that? Oh, it was the roommates. They did. None of them did that. Yeah, it was so like, that's up. Like when viral is calling you a murderer and. And you sad.

[A]

Yeah, that's horrible.

[B]

You sure you 14 did not sign up for this? She said 41.

[A]

Every bit of 41 too, though. No pedophile was about to mistake this old lady for what they ordered. Oh,

[B]

yo, that's crazy terrible, son.

[A]

Anyway, they open up with. And then we off the script. They open up with when Chris Hansen. When it's not funny, but when the decoy tried to lure one of them in, it's like, hey, you coming over? You coming over? I guess he sound too aggressive. Homie on the phone was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be there later. And just banged it on him. So Chris, Ants and them, they packed up the cameras and went to the.

[B]

Went to the nigga's house.

[A]

Yeah, it went to dude house. Oh, he's totally breaking protest.

[D]

You could do that.

[A]

He got all the cops, they surrounding this nigga house. They kill himself.

[C]

Damn.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, that's sleepover run.

[B]

That's a twist.

[D]

It's up, but I'm just saying, can't be repeated.

[B]

Can't repeat, you know?

[A]

Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I'm not going to argue it because one lust. But that's up.

[B]

I mean, that is up.

[D]

That's what I'm saying.

[A]

By any means necessary. No, Freeze.

[B]

Freeze. What?

[C]

I'm not mad at that.

[B]

Stop, Joe. Freeze. What you just said if you was the judge for Pooh Shiesty and them.

[A]

Well, of course. And part of that is a great sense of humor, of course. But you do have to commit a crime.

[C]

I see what you're saying.

[A]

You have to commit a crime.

[C]

Minority report issue or whatever.

[A]

Yes, exactly. Minority report.

[B]

I'm sorry.

[A]

I'm never on.

[B]

Maybe not minority report. This just might be a pattern of behavior. And this might not be my first time at the rodeo. I'm just trying a different stake. And now what? Or I just got caught this time right beforehand. But I done did this.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like you said, I done got away with this.

[A]

And just what they was arguing was, it is a crime to have telecommunications with somebody that you think is a child.

[B]

Get these sick out of here. I don't lose a wink of sleep.

[C]

Me.

[B]

Salute. Appreciate you.

[A]

[B]

I a hear neither one of them say nothing. Like, church is quiet, so.

[A]

Yo, so you were. Come on, let's hear it, man. Yo, you true crime genre. Hey, you can run, but you can't hide, buddy. Yeah, I know that. I'm there.

I plan for all of the upside success to be going on. Huh? That's what's up. And I'm sure Dick Wolf feels the same. Haven't spoken to him about it, but, yeah, some good shit going on. Don't worry, you'll sit.

[D]

You'll sit. Are you in direct contact with Dick Wolf?

[B]

[C]

Who the is Andrew Garland?

[B]

That's the other Spider Man.

[C]

I've never seen no Andrew Garland.

[B]

It don't matter. Tom Holland is the best Spider man ever. It's not close no more. Really.

[C]

He's also on a run, by the way.

[B]

Oh, no, he's on a ridiculous run. Him and his lady.

[C]

Yeah, together. Zendaya is in everything.

[B]

Dating Together.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

But anyway, off that. This Spider man movie here has put that conversation to bed.

[C]

Honestly, it's fire like that.

[B]

It is fire.

[A]

It's.

[B]

It's perfect for people like myself who kind of checked out a little bit. Okay, this is the one to reel you back in. You know, they found a way. Well, the movie's been out long enough, so if you haven't seen it, this. I don't know what to tell you.

[A]

They've seen it.

[B]

They found a way to prep us for X Men doomsday. Like, now you see where we going? And they absolutely smoked it. You see him? We got the real Hulk back.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

You see him tapping into.

[A]

Huh? Jean Gray.

[B]

Yeah, that's why I was trying to. But yes, X Men. Yeah, yeah, but.

[A]

But him.

[B]

Just as Spider Man.

[C]

See if they got 4D.

[A]

That's your bag now.

[B]

Yeah. I ain't going to hold you. I'm about to go. That shit might be a lot, though. It's a lot of web sling.

[A]

Spider man just as long as Odyssey, too.

[D]

Is it?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Jesus, that ain't want to say that.

[B]

Is that long?

[A]

It is.

[B]

It didn't feel like it. Pause.

[A]

Yeah, my girl went to see it with the kids. You know, I had to track her on her. Come on, man. Come on. You know I know how long it is. We still here. Don't worry. I'll be the judge of that.

[B]

Oh, I know, but, nigga, nah, seriously, though, this, this. They absolutely smoked this movie. The story. Like I said, I'm trying not to spoil too much.

[A]

So is he a list now?

[C]

Oh, Tom Holland.

[B]

Tom Holland's been a list.

[C]

He's a list.

[A]

All right.

[C]

We were talking about other boy, Toby Maguire.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Tobey Maguire. The old Spider Man.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

The first Spider Man.

[A]

We were talking. You're saying he's the nigga Tom Holland.

[B]

Tom Holland is the nigga. He's the best Spider man now, like, it's over. The nostalgia had people still holding Tobey Maguire up there just off nostalgic purposes.

[A]

I keep saying confusing these two dudes.

[B]

Toby Maguire.

[A]

We arguing about the A, a, A, a list.

[B]

We were arguing about Toby Maguire.

[A]

Oh, he ain't aist the old Spider man, yo. Yeah, you done.

[B]

That's who we were arguing about.

[A]

Oh, no. Tom Holland is him.

[B]

Tom. Yes.

[A]

Got it. I'm. I'm there. Who.

[B]

They're also in Dune.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Odyssey. Yeah, yeah. The good movies.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All the good blockbuster, yo.

[A]

Movies are back.

[C]

They are. Thank God they are.

[A]

Movies are back. Let me end the Round of applause for movies going back.

[B]

Even though Disclosure, they tried to interrupt, they didn't it up.

[C]

But Joe, that was before Odyssey. So.

[A]

Yeah, that don't count.

[D]

Y' all like these big cinematic productions. Three hours, a lot of money, all that shit. I don't. I'm not into these kind of movies. I would never watch Spider Man. I'm watching Odyssey because y' all told me to. But like, that wouldn't be something I go see. Like, are like rom coms coming back. Are like hood action movies like our other movies.

[B]

Oh, the hood action movies. Yo, go download the app. They there.

[A]

Did you go see the devil wish product 2? I did actually pretty good.

[D]

That's one of the ones I had. I couldn't go solo to see.

[B]

It's three minutes.

[A]

So I mean, we're not just talking about. I mean, that was a big budget movie too. Yes, but big budget.

[D]

Okay. But you know what I'm saying. I just. I just. A lot of it seems like action fans. Blockbuster in comics, though.

[A]

No, it's just that.

[B]

It's just that the. The.

[A]

The movie houses have to figure. Had to figure out a way. All of them had to figure out how to get asses in the seats. That's young people that. What is it? Marvel struggled like, so they also had

[C]

all the beefs with the strikes and the AI. You know, there's a bunch of shit going on.

[B]

And Marvel in particular had a problem with a lot of the fans. There was a thing going on where they became too woke for a lot of people. I've heard that it was like you kind of veered away from just giving us good superhero shit now trying to push agendas in all your movies.

[A]

So then there's that. Right? The Marvel Universe and everything Ice is saying. Then you see the DC Universe attempting to do whatever it is they're doing. They were terrible. Then you have. There really is no such thing as an A lister in Hollywood. Hollywood is really moving to New Jersey for the most part. So the rock movies, Dwayne Johnson. I'm saying.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Not happening. Who is. Is. So Hollywood is lost. So to see Ryan Coogler, like, do what he does. Yeah. Chris Nolan and a lot of those. When that Odyssey came out, they did a. A poll. I think they said 55% of the people that went to see Odyssey did so. Because Chris. Because of Christopher Nolan.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We don't care who's acting.

[B]

I don't need to see a trailer.

[A]

Nothing.

[B]

Like, it's so Dune.

[A]

It's good to see A run of Spider. Spider Man. She took all the kids. She took all the kids. We bought mad seats. I think the interest prime time. Just movies that are coming that have people excited. I think they. The way that they tease movies now they give you enough time to kind of.

[C]

I'm not gonna lie to they revamp. At least I can speak for my movie theater. And the movie theater in Omar, they've revamped a lot of them where most of them have like recliners and more comfortable seating now as opposed to the old.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Stiff benches.

[C]

Like, which is helpful in terms of getting people to a theater.

[B]

And not just that, like.

[C]

And they sell alcohol.

[B]

I was already saying now you gotta find more reasons. Like it can't just be to watch the movie. You have to make it an entire experience.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, you get dinner, you get drinks.

[C]

We go there for the whole year.

[B]

Yeah. So it's an experience.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It's just sitting there watching a movie now ain't because it's like, okay, we know a lot of people could just go watch these shits on the Internet. Quality. Some people don't care about quality.

[C]

Comfortable couch.

[D]

Right.

[B]

So now it's okay. We have to make it extra comfortable for here and give you all these amenities to why you want to come to the movie theater.

[A]

It's fire though.

[D]

I love the return of the movies. I just want to make sure that my kind of movies are good. You know what I mean?

[B]

Everything doesn't have to do the movies you're listing reason why they also work as well because they have fan bases already.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You know like Color Purple, huh?

[B]

No, I think it's short. I mean I don't want to be negative, but I think it's short lived. I think it's about to be. Remember how you said concerts and all that shit about to just be big ticket up luxury. I think the movies is headed that way too. It's just really expensive. But a lot of people just like the act of going to the movie theater. Bro, I love going to the movies.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

But that shit is costly, you know.

[D]

You talk to the movies?

[B]

Nah, not really.

[D]

You like a laid back. What do you like? What do y' all like about the movie? Is it. Is it like the company? Because I know some of y' all go.

[B]

So I just like going to the movie theater with my girl or going to the movie theater and just seeing it on the screen. Being in your house, it's a whole different feeling.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what I'm saying? Like it's different. You could watch a movie in your crib. It don't still give me the same feeling that going to the movies.

[D]

I was over the movie theater experience until I went and watched the Jackson movie.

[A]

Then I was like, oh, yeah, Mike, Michael. Yeah, that one in the session, even

[C]

though we didn't really like it up here.

[A]

You gotta add that in there.

[C]

And that was, you know what it was.

[B]

And low budget for a lot of us. It was sinners.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Sinners did it for me too.

[B]

A lot of people send it. A lot of us sinners brought us back to the movie.

[D]

Movies. Yeah.

[B]

And then you started to see the trailers, and then you remembered that feeling. It was like, you know what? I'll go check this.

[D]

Yeah. And it couldn't replace home. I mean. I mean, home can't replace that feeling.

[B]

Yeah, it can't.

[C]

It's the equivalent of a concert, essentially. Like.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Listening to a CD or watching a stream.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

It's not the same as being the same as being there.

[A]

Shout out to the movies. Being back. Dope, dope. All right. I've been doing this part a long time with you bro brothers, but I don't know who our Perez Hilton expert would be.

[C]

Ish.

[D]

Definitely Ish.

[B]

Definitely not.

[A]

I would have guessed Ish.

[D]

Or Mark.

[B]

Yeah, I was gonna guess Mark.

[A]

Nah. Marcus too miss. Marcus too miss. There you go. Do you.

[D]

I mean, we're not homies, but, I mean, we. You know when he's first started as a gossip blogger.

[A]

Oh, that's enough. You got it, buddy.

[C]

Take it away.

[D]

Yep.

[A]

You won. You beat Ish. Unless Ish got a story about Perez Hill now know about.

[D]

So Perez Hilton was on a live stream, I guess, about 24 hours from time we were recording this. And he was engaged in acts of self harm. He was seen. He was in the middle of a mental health crisis, it seemed. And from what we've heard, he was spiraling all week before that. His kids were in the house, his niece was in the house. Other people were in the house. And it was getting bad. They left. They fled. Oh, wow. Yeah. And he engaged in acts of self harm. I haven't seen what the. And I wouldn't report them anyway because all the outlets are kind of just saying acts of self harm.

[C]

Gotcha.

[D]

He's under.

[A]

Me and my girl found a video.

[C]

Oh, no.

[D]

Y' all be investigating that crib, dog.

[A]

I'm telling you, we hit everybody business in that house.

[E]

I seen it.

[A]

Cause she hit me in bed. Like, oh, shit.

[B]

I can't find the Bed. I wanna see.

[A]

And then she go pull up her digging everybody's shit app that she got. And you know, the. The vid is bad. It is. It is bad. And the still shot that I had found was bad. The video is much worse. He does have a knife. He's on there saying shit like. I'm surprised TikTok is even letting me do this. All types of. He was. He was in the middle of an episode.

[C]

That's horrible.

[A]

For sure. Blood all over him.

[C]

Oh God.

[A]

Cuts all over him. Like they eventually stopped his.

[B]

They stopped.

[D]

They stopped his feet.

[A]

They did.

[D]

I. I hate this for everybody. Obviously my primary concern is his well being. I want to make sure he's okay. So hopefully he's getting the treatment and care that he deserves. I know he was in a. He's being seen by mental health professionals. He's been dealing with the hospital. So as of this moment he's under care. So he's recovering. But long term, I hope he's good. And the trauma that that causes your family, your kids, you know, and all the viewers who have to watch that. It's the one thing. Streamer culture is just different. I'm not into that. I don't know that world very well, but you can just watch people have. I wish there a way to pull the plug on that faster. Is all I'm saying for. For everyone's benefit. But. But my. My thoughts and prayers are with Perez for sure.

[B]

Yeah, I agree.

[A]

I agree.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

It's horrible.

[E]

I couldn't watch that video.

[C]

I wouldn't want to.

[E]

I don't know how anyone watches that video. Really Desensitized.

[B]

Yeah, but bro. But see a lot of people, aside from. Aside from this particular incident. You're saying people like Mark Sound. You don't understand this. Not streamer culture. This is way before streamer culture.

[E]

Faces of Death.

[B]

Yeah, Faces of Death. Rotten dot com. Like I remember them. And we was in high school. You love pulling them up like it was a thing. It's just. I don't know, something about the Internet. You see a bad car accident. What you do? Slow down.

[C]

Look.

[B]

What are you looking for? You get what I'm saying? Like that's just something in us that we. We just be.

[A]

We.

[B]

We. We gravitate to negative. Yeah. We're pulled towards looking at that. And now the Internet just put it made it so much easier to access and in abundance. So it desensitized a lot of people. But are gonna look like. I'm pretty sure people heard this story and was like, yo, let me go find a video. Why?

[E]

Everyone did.

[B]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Why? So this is not streamer culture, bro. This is human, unfortunately.

[A]

All right, I'll play devil's advocate then.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

They're jumping for joy out there in the streets about this. So when you say, why are people going to look for the video? They're going to look for the video to see the demise of somebody that they have classified as just the worst piece of shit ever. It's the reverse Wendy Williams.

[B]

Right? But what I'm saying.

[A]

But it's. Go ahead. No, I'm. I'm not the judge of what's worse, so I can't say. But them white people that's on there, I get that they throwing parades.

[B]

I'm talking about just random Joe. They would still want to go see the video. Might not be jumping for. For joy. If a story broke of a person on live doing whatever. People are going to want to see the video. And they don't know you. They have no history with you, no feelings about you. It's something about people. We look. We want to look at the fuck shit. I think it's. I think it's more. I think it's deeper, way deeper than that. I think that most people are out here fucked up. And so when you see something, somebody that's going through some too, it almost gives you solace. Like, oh, them too. Like, even with, like, celebrities and shit, a lot of people be happy when celebrities fall. Because now get your ass down here with me. You know what I'm saying? Like, misery loves company. So, yo, yeah, you got all that money? Oh, you lost all your money. Oh, get your ass down here with me. Yeah, your relationship was great. Now it's fucked up. They cheated. Oh, get your ass over here with me. I think a lot of times people. People want to see negative shit because it makes them almost feel better. Like, yo, not just my life is fucked up, these other people's lives is fucked up, too.

[E]

I don't want to put it simply to that. I think a lot of people just want to be a part of a bunch of shit. Like, if you saw it and I didn't see it, then I need to go see it. Like, everyone wants to be a part of every little thing that's happening.

[A]

I don't want to bring this conversation to why people want to look at this stuff. I saw something else said that I thought was pretty interesting, and I'd love to hear what you guys think about this. I saw Something that said. I wish I could credit who said it, but what they said was, we have to stop putting so much on mental health. Some of this is spiritual, demonic possession.

[B]

And I think. Yeah, I think it's some of what.

[D]

Some of his behavior.

[A]

Just peace behaviors that you're seeing out there. Mental health is not all just people suffering with their mental health. Some people play with the wuja and that's for people. Some people play in the spirits. I am a believer in that.

[B]

I believe that shit.

[A]

Some people call certain spirits to their door and inside their body and how it comes out. I believe in that. So I understand that. Yeah. Just everything can't be.

[B]

It's hard. It's hard to not.

[C]

It just kind of can get dangerous because then it. I know people can look overlook mental health.

[D]

And there's a long history of framing mental illness as demon possession, devil worship, all these things. And so then we stigmatize people who are dealing with legitimate mental illnesses. Correct.

[A]

Yeah. But then you also write off all the people that are actually into devil worship and all that other stuff.

[B]

All that type of stuff.

[D]

I mean, again, I'm just saying I understand the danger. Danger of. Oh, me too.

[A]

Me too, Me too, me too.

[D]

Me too.

[A]

Me too.

[B]

I think. See, I think it's dangerous.

[E]

I think.

[B]

I think it's danger. Both dangerous both ways, though. Like, I think a lot like the mental health spectrum is so wide now that damn near everything falls under mental health.

[A]

Yeah. And that's irresponsible.

[B]

Yes. And that's where it becomes dangerous. Anything today is up mental health. And it might not be, but we. Who are we to tell the difference the same way.

[A]

It is a spectrum for people that are on a specific spectrum. So we could identify what part of the spectrum you're on. So you know what to expect. They gotta have something like that for. For mental health crisis.

[B]

You can't just blanket it and just mental health.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Hope he gets better. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Everybody out there that's going through something

[A]

and prayers for his family dog. That's a video that your. Your family got to see, your kids got to see. All that is nasty. It's disgusting. It's really, really, really bad. Thank God that authorities got there, the ambulance got there. They carried him off like.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Hopefully he gets the help that he. That he needs.

[D]

Since we're in a somber boot and we talking about gossipers,

[B]

I want to

[D]

do the kind of opposite side of that coin, which is Flo Anthony. Flo Anthony is. She passed away 74. One of the most Important black journalists ever, honestly. And she was a pioneer among gossip journalists. If you saw her, y' all would know. Growing up, she was on every. Every TV show. The Sally Jesse Raphael's, the Diana Hughes, all. That's her right there. All the shows she was on. New York Post with Page Six. I first got to know her working with the Jackson family when I was doing stuff. Latoya, she was there. She was a friend. She was married to Michael Spinks. She was one of the greatest boxing publicists of all time. She represented Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, obviously, her husband. Any, I believe, Sugar Ray Laird, any prominent boxer, she helped do that. But she also opened doors. So this generation of journalists, this generation of publicists, all these people, they often got jobs because of her placements. They got jobs because of her leads. So, I mean, she's like the Jackie Robinson of. Of publicity and of gossip and of tabloid journalists. Even the Wendy Williams of the world bow down to her. Everybody knows Flo, you know, so she's a trailblazer. That's a great word. She's a trailblazer. And we just say rest in peace to her because she, you know, job well done.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. Rest in peace.

[A]

It's been a while. That's what the talking on the Internet said.

[B]

I know.

[A]

They fell out. They don't even play outstanding no more. Where they get sad and make it

[B]

get us in the bedroom.

[A]

Yo. Prayers for anybody out there fighting a silent battle again. Rest in peace to my Uncle Hazel, too, man. I love you.

[D]

Yeah, you looking sweet. I.

[B]

Wish that I could love you.

[A]

Stash way I'm an empathy.

[B]

[A]

[E]

[C]

I think what it's just trying to imply is that you was with a baddie, man. That's all.

[A]

They saying you was finally out with some quality.

[D]

That was the exact.

[E]

I'm always out with quality. I just think we all have different. I didn't like what quality is.

[C]

I didn't like the fight.

[D]

I thought the fighting was disrespectful.

[C]

Yeah, it was.

[A]

When the streets set. Me too. Yeah.

[D]

Streets ain't shit sometimes, man.

[A]

Sometimes. But the thing about it, you can't control what the streets say.

[C]

Yeah, that's true.

[A]

What?

[E]

Why do you say quality?

[A]

It's nice.

[D]

It's a complimentary.

[E]

I think anybody that I've dealt with is nice. Might not be what you deem to be.

[A]

No, no, don't do that. Don't put me in here. So stop saying quality. Nice is like there's a nice spectrum, right?

[E]

No, it's not you.

[A]

There's a nice spectrum.

[D]

No sense. Go get. Take it out, too. No, go ahead. Why you leave my cuz? The first time, I thought it was like, an error. The New York Times. Then it was the Forbes, Then it was like the. The. The Rolling Stone.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Then it was like the Newark Weekly. It was like, you ain't put him in nothing.

[C]

The Newark Weekly.

[D]

Newark Weekly.

[B]

Jersey City Journal.

[D]

Right. Boxer. It was right. Why y' all my man. It feels like. It's almost like a bit now. What's going on, man?

[A]

[C]

Oh,

[A]

[D]

That was an oversight.

A pr.

[C]

Pulitzer Prize winning awarded journalist.

[B]

I ain't going to hold y' all running the sc. Every, every time Pablo drop a new mixtape, I just, I just got to

[A]

Just.

[B]

Yo, man, make sure you see what you.

[E]

I, I still like Pablo, but I'm kind of with Ish at this point. Man, this is a lot.

[D]

Yo, I think until somebody says, you know what, fuck it, we did it, he's gonna keep going. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I'm just saying I think that's his end game.

[B]

What's the. We did what though?

[D]

I think that.

[B]

What's the it?

[D]

I think the idea that there was some collusion and circumvention of the salary cap. That's what he's trying to say. Cause the latest bit of information was that he was part of Billboard.

[A]

Paid from no company. From the people that make the scoreboard.

[D]

Oh, the scoreboard. I'm sorry, not Billboard. Sorry. Thank you. Why is he being paid by people who make the scoreboard?

[C]

That's the, That's. Huh?

[A]

That's his business, dog. Why you in his pocket watching?

[E]

But I'm saying, what is Pablo waiting to see happen to Kawhi?

[D]

I don't think it's about Kawhi. I think it's going to the owners. I think Kawhi is collateral damage.

[A]

But where do if I'm Kawhi and I score a bucket, where does that go?

[B]

Where does my face go?

[A]

Where does that go? Scoreboard, right?

[D]

Just get a piece of that.

[B]

That's my ass.

[A]

Cut that this way, big dog.

[B]

Millions too.

[A]

Anywhere my likeness go. Oh, what? You want to talk to my uncle?

[B]

Yo, who, who you want talk to my uncle about this? Who leading score on his team?

[A]

My uncle ain't gonna be as nice about this. Boy, that's funny.

[D]

Y is wild, man. I, I, I think it's, I don't think it's overkill because I think it's this show. But I, and he's a.

[A]

You do think it's overkill. You just wouldn't say it.

[D]

No, I don't, I don't, I don't think it's overkill. Every other mom, I think, I think until somebody comes on her watch. Watch what? Your little crime show next year when that dude in disconnected, he still ain't admitted. What's the crime? We should be doing over there. Illegal dumping or whatever. Whatever the they doing until they admit it. You gonna be back on there. Episode two. Episode three.

No, because episode three, four, and five is other Come in other crowds in Illinois and Minnesota. And Minnesota.

[A]

Yeah. Every week. I ain't coming back with. Oh, yeah.

[C]

Pablo's covered a bunch of other.

[D]

What if you get 100,000 subs every time you cover Schenectady?

[C]

Yes, he's covered a bunch of other.

[A]

Well, the only thing to take off is the. The Kawhi.

[C]

That's true. That's true.

[E]

Has he covered the gambling stuff as much as this Kawas stuff?

[D]

Is that his beat?

[C]

He's covered a bunch of this one.

[A]

This is hit record.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Why would I not keep playing my hit record?

[B]

Go back and jump on the remix now we going my. And at some point.

[A]

At some point, you got to get another hit word.

[B]

This hit still hitting, right?

[D]

This is not like us.

[D]

I think I underestimate.

[B]

You going to have seven remixes to the same song. Yes.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

If it's working, everybody jump.

[D]

Yo my.

[B]

At some point, we got to call out to be goofy. I don't give a how much it works or how much it hits. At some point in time, it got to be corny. Yeah.

[A]

Yo, you about to.

[B]

I won't say goofy, but going on Mark Page now.

[A]

Boy, I hope you ready.

[B]

Doing live clips right now. Mark Team Uploading that already

[A]

baiting them out. So Barblo back in the news again?

[B]

Yeah, again, like, we. We just condone a bunch of goofy shit a lot of times, and I think that shit is goofy. That's just my opinion. Like, because again, what's your end game? What's your end goal?

[D]

Justice issue.

[B]

What's justice? All right, so let me cool.

[C]

What does that look like a punishment for the Clippers for circumventing the salary camp.

[A]

Cool.

[B]

So if that never comes, you. You stay on your crusade.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

All right. That's good luck. That, to me, is corny. It's a bit goofy. If you continue to keep going that strong. If you obviously see everything that you put out is not leading to any result of something happening to Kawhi. How much further are you.

[C]

You keep putting on Kawhi.

[B]

And y' all started this with. He's a journalist. He's not a judge. So him doing his job don't have nothing to do with somebody paying a penalty for their crime. His job is to report the news and give it to the world, not to make sure. Not to make sure that this person gets found innocent or guilty, but if it's more news, so cool. So if you investigate.

[D]

Could you say that if you investigate crooked cop.

[B]

I asked Parks. Parks, answer the question. I'm going by what park said. Park said he's going to keep going until this person gets held maybe.

[C]

Or until they're.

[B]

Or what if he goes, there's no more news. So now you look like this is le miserable. You look like a neurotic nut that's chasing this throughout the world for the 40 years.

[A]

Don't try to quote Hugo.

[C]

Right.

[A]

What I will say is a lot of my favorite movies are centered around. Around a reporter that is just won't let it go. Will not let it go.

[D]

See, that's my point is that if he were looking at a corrupt cop or George Bush lying about weapons of mass destruction. And what.

[B]

That's the parallel you're making?

[D]

This is the perfect parallel, if you let me finish.

[B]

It's a horrible parallel.

[D]

You haven't heard the finish yet. My point is we would say it's okay to keep pursuing something until you get a just outcome. And it's not just to report it.

[E]

You can keep.

[D]

Keep going. We just happen to not care about this particular topic. I don't think it's as important. But my point is sometimes the journalist's job is to keep going until the truth comes out. And if justice gets done, if you

[C]

keep digging and keep finding more shit, why am I not gonna report that?

[E]

Yeah, I would like to ask Pablo, what would you want to happen?

[B]

Yo, y' all frying. Cause niggas just sat up here off camera and said, yo, cool, let me ask you this. Right? He. The parallel that he made was weapons of mass destruction. Corrupt cop and a corrupt cop and weapons of mass destruction. Weapons of mass destruction and lying about weapons of mass destruction cost thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people's their lives. So we're not gonna make. It's insensitive to make that a parallel to a motherfucker cheating on they tax. So you basically said this is a victimless crime. Pretty much like we not gonna make that parallel.

[D]

No, you missed my point. That's not my point. My point is you initially said that the journalist's job is just to report this stuff, not to keep going until they get a just outcome.

[B]

I was answering parts.

[D]

I understand. I'm saying in response to your response to Parks, I'm saying there are circumstances, certainly more extreme ones, where we will all agree it's okay to keep going until you get justice. I'm saying it's not necessarily for us to decide which things are worth that. Cuz he's not a political reporter, he's a sports reporter. And I do think, I don't think it's a victimless crime Ice because no,

[B]

I'm saying about what he was saying

[D]

about it in terms of what I get. I'm answering your question. I know you weren't saying that. I'm answering my perspective on it, which is if you go around the salary cap cap, you're cheating fans, you're cheating other owners. There's a collective agreement we make. And as a fan, for example of the Philadelphia 1776ers, you know, we might the process might have won already if not for this bullshit they did with Kawhi. Because we were in the running for Kawhi. So I'm saying as a fan, I have an interest in this too. I don't want the sports reporter to stop doing that anymore and I want the political reporter to stop going after the serious shit. That's. That's just that. That's just my take on it.

[B]

I get the horrible fact I just

[E]

would like to know what does Pablo went want to happen and that you put all this info out.

[D]

You've done.

[E]

And I'm with you. If you keep finding out new as a reporter, as a journalist, why not report it? Especially if you're the person who kind of sparked and it's my beat.

[D]

And it's my beat. I'm with you.

[B]

Yo bro.

[E]

I would just like for Pablo to

[B]

say what would he like supposed to

[E]

see happen to Kawaii after all of this?

[B]

He's one of the richest on the planet. He's one of the most connected on the planet. So if you keep filling out new dirt, new dirt, new dirt, new dirt my eventually, eventually you're going to have a Statue of Liberty full of dirt. And if they not sending nobody away or penalizing nobody my go find something.

[C]

I mean I could use a parallel to my team, the Miami Dolphins. Stephen Ross is a very rich owner. He colluded tried to get Sean Payton and Tom Brady down in Miami and they find him a couple draft picks. They could do the same to Steve right here and the story would be over.

[B]

Cool.

[C]

But why don't they, why don't they do it?

[B]

I stand differently now the that they trying to shoot at got more connections than your memory bank and that's it didn't happen. But his job is not to be the police My.

[C]

He's not the police. He's not arresting anybody.

[B]

No, that's my point.

[D]

And.

[B]

And you said his job is to make sure that this person gets held to a standard of.

[D]

That is the job. Sometimes that is the job. I think Every. Every. There's different kinds of journalists. There's like the reporters.

[B]

There's solutions journalists, there's story.

[A]

Bro.

[B]

Once you told me he's reporting other things, I'm cool now he's a part of my all. I see. I guess this gets the headline.

[C]

That's what goes every time.

[D]

I see.

[B]

So it looks like everything else is off the table. I'm just zeroed in on Kawhi and I'm just gonna keep posting here.

[D]

Well, I'd like to redirect.

[B]

Cool.

[D]

I'd like to redirect Mr. Tory to some other places. Obviously, I want to start with you. Not you personally, but your Knicks.

[B]

Absolutely, I'm with that.

[D]

Yeah. Immediately.

[A]

And as soon as. As he's done, go right to Phil. Go to the do he right over the upper deck. He can head right at the tops.

[D]

And then we need to go back to la.

[A]

No, no, no. Let's get the fanatics first. If we. If he's in New York, he's got to hit the fanatics.

[B]

Well, I mean, he can hit there. There's nothing there, so he'll be out of there.

[E]

Qu.

[B]

There's nothing there. There's nothing going on there.

[D]

I know, but then going back to la, these Dodgers.

[A]

I dare y' all sign one more.

[D]

I want the Dodgers not getting nobody else. They just got this.

[A]

Nah, dodge it out of here.

[E]

No, no. Back to two time.

[D]

Yes.

[E]

It's crazy.

[D]

Yeah. I mean, Showtan.

[A]

He's supposed to be in jail anyway.

[C]

Yeah, but there's no cap. Baseball.

[D]

Baseball. Yeah, but the Phillies made a better offer. Other teams made better. No, they did. I mean, I understand why. It's because he's not gonna resign at the end. I'm not, but.

[E]

And it's la.

[D]

It's la.

[B]

Stay in la. Because now they talking about Aaron Donald is working out.

[D]

Talking about.

[B]

Talking about he going to possibly join the Rams again.

[C]

Yeah, they've been saying that for a minute.

[D]

[E]

Got secret.

[A]

Y' all lucky my uncle Hazel died.

[C]

I'm the piece.

[A]

I'm getting a sitting up here with

[B]

WCLEF talking about, yeah, I went to Bergen School. Cliff, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Y' all didn't comment about saying the

[B]

That's why I'm going.

[A]

He ain't cooking.

[B]

That's why I'm going. I want to see how he comes. See how he comes.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Stevie gets.

[A]

If Stevie wondered what's cooking, I would go.

[B]

That's where I'm going.

[A]

But sometimes you go to these celebs houses, man. He used to be starving in buff house. Too many jokes.

[B]

The meat coming.

[A]

Mad oil on it.

[D]

It's mad.

[B]

A little too salty.

[B]

But yo, so what? The chef was making molly.

[A]

I'm sure that. More molly, more molly. I'm sure the chef was. Was making a great meal for whoever was important in the house. That just didn't come to me and Ian. And sometimes we ate over. Let me not paint it that way. But it wasn't never. That's what I'm saying. When you say Stevie wondering. The chef. I could think of mad times that I've been at a celebrity house or function and the chef was rocking and they come out and give you like some type of chef play. I'm cool with this, dog. I'm cool with this.

[B]

I'm talking about somebody that's invite you over for dinner.

[D]

Yo, we said no molestation jokes.

[A]

I didn't say nothing about that.

[D]

$50. Pity.

[A]

I didn't say nothing. No, I'm talking about the. The pre molestation, like the dinner.

[D]

Yo, they don't give you a dinner for that.

[A]

Oh, you can't molest me and not feed me.

[B]

Y the appetizer. I'mma let you go.

[E]

They don't feed you before they touch you.

[D]

Really?

[A]

Then how they get you? I thought they got got you fromis. You're sleepy. Glued to the couch. It's up. Oh, my God. Oh, y' all bad, man. You ain't just getting that off on me. And I'm in here and ain't eating. I'm alert. I'm awake. I'm angry. You can't molest me if I'm hangry. Oh, crazy. Trigger warning. That's nasty. Trigger warning.

[C]

Trigger warning.

[A]

That's up. Yes, that's up.

[B]

Get out of here, please.

[C]

So Tiger. Tiger's used an AI.

[A]

Oh, man.

[B]

Now they cutting the ear.

[A]

I never want to see this. Phoenix Felix. Phoenix the Cat. Felix Hustle, whatever this nigga's name is. I've seen him too much and I'm done now.

[E]

Don't say that.

[A]

Sorry.

[E]

See, this is your fault.

[A]

Yeah, I know. I'm phony.

[B]

I. I switch. Pause.

[D]

Wiping cards and stacking chips, sucking in

[C]

all types of dicks.

[A]

Hey, what's got in there, you guys? Anyway, in. In dumb news of the day, Phoenix Felix announced that he did use AI. Like, yeah, yeah. Who's this news for?

[B]

I told you, once I saw him hit the stage, I knew, okay, that is 1,000% AI.

[C]

And they've been debating it for months on the Internet.

[E]

That guy on Tik Tok broke down all that. He gave us the engineer point of view of everything to show you that there was no way in the world that this guy did not use it. Once I saw that, I was like, all right.

[C]

The funny part was when he. When Phoenix or whatever showed the pro tool session and didn't solo nothing.

[A]

Yeah, nothing.

[E]

Solo nothing. Imported tracks, clearly. You just renamed. It's. It's completely.

[C]

Come on my.

[B]

Yeah, sorry, I couldn't hear.

[A]

The only reason. The only way I'll listen to Phoenix Felix again is if he collab with Tommy Richmond.

[C]

Yo, if you got another bop, I'm gonna listen to it.

[A]

I'm rushing to that. If him and Tommy get in a duffel bag, I gotta hear that.

[C]

But you gotta stick to your guns, cuz. If you know you can't copyright it, man. No, this is only a little bit of AI.

[A]

Phoenix Felix.

[B]

Phoenix Flex.

[A]

I'm never calling him Flex. That's never happening. Phoenix Felix.

[B]

Yeah, these.

[A]

These dudes where? And again, that's why I'm just tapped out of the music now. For a lot of people, what making music means is catch 15 seconds or something. Catch 20 seconds or something. So now the discovery, especially for a lot of the age AI is on Instagram, tick tock and these places that. So you hear some real quick or they catching a little Internet vibe. And then you try to bring that vibe to real life. And it'd be like, nah. Homeboy Phoenix Felix went out to Summer Jam and walked out there like he was Nas. He walked out there. Well, now it's good dressed. He walked out there like a bad dress. Like, he cut like he. Yeah, he looked a mess.

[B]

He looked crazy, bro.

[A]

And had the nerve to fucking put the mic to the crowd like they was about to sing it in New Jersey. He don't know New Jersey. New Jersey ain't about to sing your song, Aki. New Jersey looked at him like, what the fuck you want us to do? He just came up with this shit.

[B]

You know the funny part? I still don't know the name of that song. Like, even when he came out. Cause French brought him out. He like, yo, he about to do the song.

[C]

He don't.

[B]

No, he didn't say that, fam. See you gonna do the song, French.

[A]

Yo, that's funny. French. We can't say nothing. French. Come on, French. But that's French. Man,

[E]

y' all to blame, too. Why?

[B]

Who?

[A]

Cuz I played it.

[E]

Cuz he came up here playing that Jim jamming. I said, we all look crazy even supporting this AI stupid. And sure enough, like, n sound good.

[A]

You, me and is playing some AI slaps. Nah, me and is like a couple of AI slaps. You do, too. On the low.

[E]

I don't.

[B]

So y like some AI hoes, too. I got a new one.

[E]

A new AI song.

[B]

Wait till you hear it.

[E]

[D]

He was in the cafeteria question. You just answer the question.

[A]

No, no.

[E]

Why.

[A]

Why you got to vet it?

[A]

I text Parks.

[E]

About what?

[B]

About what?

[C]

Trying to throw me in some.

[B]

Oh, you had a sweet at Summer Jam.

[D]

Are you in a suite?

[B]

I said we have a suite at Summer Jam. Was there a suite?

[C]

There was a suite.

[D]

You mean you were in a suite.

[B]

We had a suite at. Was it other. How many people was in our suite?

[C]

I mean, there was some random Cajun teenagers in there.

[A]

I don't.

[B]

I don't know. Was it empty?

[A]

It was pretty empty. I'm telling you something. We got to just be kidding.

[B]

I didn't say I bought a suite. I never said that.

[A]

That's true.

[B]

I never said that. I'm not going to sit up here and lie. I never said I bought a.

[A]

Always have to ask additional one more question.

[B]

Ask questions.

[A]

No, we done.

[B]

I ain't got no damn Question, please.

[A]

Oh, cuz, that's my man.

[B]

Nah, cuz, you. You try to paint. That's why. That's what you do that up. Paintbrush you got. And then.

[A]

But that's not true.

[B]

No, that is true.

[D]

If you say, I got a sweet, I just assumed, like, you got a sweet. I do.

[B]

Never once. If I was to say, yo, I bought a suite. Whatever I say, yo, I have a suite.

[A]

Yo, where. Where am I?

[B]

Yo, anybody that want to go can come to the suite.

[A]

See, that's dangerous. I think that's dangerous.

[E]

How'd you get the sweet?

[A]

That tea got to be empty.

[B]

I have a plug.

[E]

So you had a plug and it gave. And it gave you the sweet.

[B]

So if Ice hit you and say, yo, we got a suite, you want to go to Summer Jam, it ain't say that. He paid for the. I did. Listen here, here, let me clear this up. Ice did not pay for a suite, nor will he pay for a suite.

[A]

Make it a little bit better for y'. All. That's why you the man.

[D]

It was your sweet, at least.

[B]

Hey, Mark. No, it wasn't my suite. I did not.

[D]

So you was just in a suite?

[B]

No. Oh, I had to plug for the suite.

[D]

I got a studio.

[B]

I got the plug for the suite. My.

[D]

I got a laptop.

[B]

You want to go to Summer J?

[A]

You could have went.

[D]

You about.

[A]

It's important to ask additional questions.

[D]

One more question.

[E]

My man got connects in high places, man. They gave him. They gave him access to a suite. Anybody that wanted to go. Anybody that wanted to go.

[A]

Anybody that wanted to come with him, which is fire.

[C]

There may be some strangers.

[D]

That's dope.

[A]

That's fire. We not try.

[B]

Hold up.

[A]

We not trying to say, that's not fire.

[D]

That's fire.

[A]

That's not what we saying.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

We just saying, if you say, yo, who want to. To go, I got a sweet, then that does mean something different.

[B]

Okay, well, that's how y' all interpret this. I did not purchase a suite at all. Nor will I Parks notice.

[E]

That's why you can't try to do nice things for your friends.

[B]

That's why I won't.

[D]

You can't.

[A]

It's up.

[E]

You can't. You can't even suggest a nice thing. I made a suggestion to him, and he on it without even considering the suggestion. I won't say it on here because.

[A]

Oh, come on.

[B]

I just.

[E]

But no, because this suggestion I'm actually going to utilize, and I don't want to talk about it. And joke about it because it might

[D]

it up and talk about it after.

[B]

Yeah, we'll talk after, but.

[A]

All right, let's stop the broadcast so I can hear it and then come back. Stop this.

[C]

Hey, we're back, man.

[A]

He said it. Say what it is.

[D]

Go ahead, say what it is.

[E]

So I had a really, really nice person reach out and say, hey, big fan of the pod. I really enjoy you guys on there. I heard you guys talking about Joe's party this and this and that. I want to offer my services and create a custom suit for you and Mark. I thought that was fire. Now at first I'm kind of like, ah, I don't know who the person is. So let me just go ahead do some research. I did my research, Fire. Amazing work. He and he's worked with a bunch

[D]

of people within the industry.

[E]

But you just. No, you just assumed it was on some bullshit. Cause you heard.

[D]

Well. Cause when fans say I got something free for you, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

[E]

Well, I didn't.

[D]

I mean I knew you were gonna fuck her, but I, you know. No, no. I'm just saying if one between the two of us. I'm saying. But my point was I didn't know what. It's always feel like a hustle.

[E]

No. And first off, there's a lot of fans who are also people in school high high places and do a lot of great too.

[C]

That's true.

[E]

So even if it was a. Even if it was a woman, we

[D]

still shouldn't like cuz it's you though.

[B]

So when the.

[E]

Shut up.

[D]

I think you're missing the thing.

[E]

So the person sent over their portfolio.

[D]

I was about to what they said no, no.

[E]

They sent so I can see portfolio and some pictures.

[D]

Somebody was in the spilling be.

[A]

That's portfolio.

[D]

I thought that was a disease.

[A]

This is the problem before I get

[E]

back to the story.

[D]

This is the problem with like you

[A]

and

[E]

the problem with like you and Vic Mensa. I notice y' all and shoes to Vic Mensa, but y' all be smart and y' all look for any way to just keep reminding people that you smart and just try to step all the spelling be and all that. Yo, you don't have to do that

[D]

when you said portfolio. I let it.

[E]

Some just talk. Some just like to mispronounce words. We don't need reminder that you smart.

[D]

We know you got a degree.

[E]

We know you did all that. You don't have to keep stepping on the ignorant people just keep showing that you smart.

[D]

I'll let you rock out.

[A]

And while. And while you on that, it's up. What you did about the math with

[D]

me, that was her like, eight.

[B]

Like, five, six.

[C]

So, Pete.

[A]

So you and me, Mark, got hookup suits that y' all coming to my birthday?

[E]

No, no, no, no.

[C]

No, you. No you.

[A]

That's all I hear.

[D]

That's all you about to do.

[A]

Y' all poor. You joking.

[E]

You joking. You joking. But homie's resume is impeccable. Fire.

[A]

Are y' all paying them?

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I'mma tag you.

[B]

I'mma tag you in the picture.

[A]

This podcast, Black people, the Nino podcast. Yo, yo, that say yeah.

[B]

[E]

a service and not get paid for it.

[B]

It's my plus one.

[E]

No, I got you.

[B]

I don't want no more.

[E]

So I thought that was dope.

[D]

I just.

[E]

It's funny because he instantly shot it down like it was gonna be some bullshit. Why do we think every time we try to do.

[B]

He just told you six times. Cause it's you.

[C]

You.

[A]

I like that.

[D]

I'm gonna remember that, too, too.

[C]

Also, don't you think you guys. Don't you think you guys should be like a.

[A]

You trying to tell him?

[B]

It's none of that.

[E]

You got it now. When you come with that same gray

[D]

[B]

He got blue jeans on today. I feel a little bit offended. He switched it up.

[D]

[A]

I would be a little bit offended

[C]

if I were them.

[D]

Why?

[C]

[E]

Step. I know, but I.

[A]

That's all I'm saying.

[E]

Listen, ain't no way in the world not stepping from this out.

[A]

As long as is stepping that, I ain't got nothing to say, man. But I do plan on taking, like, the fly picture that me and Parks and all the girls and Freeze. I want to do that again. And if one of y' all do like Mark this year,

[D]

[E]

You got it.

[A]

I had to go take my son the other day, make sure he don't look stupid.

[B]

He came correct last year.

[A]

He did. That's cuz I ran my ass in, Ned. The neighborhood I go to for the last minute, they got the Taylor's there if you need it fast. But if you're trying to really step, you want to go where this is the.

[D]

In the light, you tell me that's gray.

It's probably a demon.
