Starting point is 00:07:08 First, me to be here and seeing all the people who came out for Thursday, we was instantly pissed, man. Future is his favorite artist. When I seen Future come out, I said, damn. Yeah. We miss one. Nah, for sure. But they, too.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I mean, everybody's seen the list. It was fire. It was far. Now, for me personally, no, I'm a big gay fan, probably a stand, but that was probably my favorite concert I've been to. Probably one of the best shows I've been to. Even though the extra ending's on Sunday was elite, wait a long time for it, still dope to see some of those great songs
Starting point is 00:07:34 before I'm live, especially my real first time of the whole show. That kind of show was crazy, bro. Oh, that was your first whole show, too. I would say real whole show. I've been to one before, but that experience for me, that was like a real whole show for me. That was crazy. What was better vibes, though?
Starting point is 00:07:48 Like, what was the better vibe? Well, choose your words. It's two totally different artists, not really but kind of. Jay-Z, I felt like that was a good time with your uncles and just everybody and everybody is relatable from shit 50 to 25. Yeah. At Kanye, it's more of a Mosh pit vibe, more of a, you know, a lot of Caucasians. Which is okay You know what I mean
Starting point is 00:08:21 But it's just a different feel Like Kanye's show Really felt like a show show I'm saying whole shit didn't But hold felt like when we was there We was at the club too You know what I'm saying So it's just different
Starting point is 00:08:33 So what vibe you like better I'm more of the club You know I'm a ghetto So I love the club Like Knicks night's night spin cell Rolexes Yeah
Starting point is 00:08:41 Yeah But if Kanye put on like Some festival shit bro Like just inside the arena But it was like Nobody has a better show than Kanye West. Like, I've never seen Hove do that.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Nah, you won't see Hove do that. Do you think at this point Kanye was trying to outdo him? Nah, because he did that, like, even with the big ass or floating stage and all that shit, his theatrics, bro, are always just way more. Yeah, even Watch the Throne. That was Kanye West's idea.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? More so. Yeah, that shit was crazy. I didn't, at the beginning with the horn, I'll throw off. But outside of that, bro, it was fire. Yeah, it was people, especially, I would say, a lot of people who sat on that floor part, bro, they came in with her song.
Starting point is 00:09:23 They was immediately taking off. The merch line. The merch line was crazy. He did whatever he needed to do. Because Hall was just up there with a nice stage and the DJ. Yeah. That was kind of, you know what I mean? Yeah, but I'm saying it's just like, it's just that.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Kanye, that's a real ass experience, bro. You can see our face in the globe, bro, why this niggas performed. Yeah, like on the stage and shout to Soldier Field. Also, I see why I'm moving into Gary because, boy, um, traffic. getting in out that stadium, bro. I couldn't imagine going through a beer's home game against the Packers, bro. Walk into the Uber, on my life, you walk in three mouths.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Damn. Yeah. No cat. All through, like, bridges and shit. It's time for it to come down. Yeah, it was on Soldier's Field. His first artist brought with Sosa, and you sparked the conversation before we started, and we hear now.
Starting point is 00:10:09 What's a better anticipation for a song being? Love Sosa with the intro of my man's popping this shit or the sample to beginning of Father Stretch My Hands. Father stretched my hands because it's just more universal. If you want to include the world, not just black people, probably father stretched my hands. He's just a way bigger artist. But that's so. And white people know that too.
Starting point is 00:10:33 White people definitely know love so. So they definitely know for Nito and they know all of Chief Keefe for sure. It just hit different. The buildup for that is just. That father stretched my hands. Yeah, that's crazy. That build up. It's just a different type of energy, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:48 be so great. And the fact that he brought our kid Cuddy to do that shit after, you know what I'm saying? they had their back and forth. That was real interesting because basically Peter Rosenberg got in line basically saying like, how could you forget him or stuff like that? He said, bro, we family. We've had our issues and nobody was publicly more against the bullshit he was on than me. He said, but we family, we figured that shit out. And we
Starting point is 00:11:06 good now. A lot of people was like, is Kanye and Jay going to make up? And I doubt that ever happens. Nah, I ain't going with that one. I can't. And then they also made me realize, like, if how the verses is, I know we always talk about verses on here, but if he gets to do what he wants to do, nobody can be him in a versus. Too many damn songs. Songs, and I'm just saying, like, I don't know the theatrics would be so crazy, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Like, I don't know. It's tough. He got 20 strong songs, bro. It wouldn't be fair. I think the only person who would probably deal with him and that is Jay just because he's a part of some of the records as well. But if you look at some of the other stuff, bro, it's just, it's just tough. I heard the Drake conversations
Starting point is 00:11:46 and Drake is top tier. I know how y'all feel about the beef or whatever happened in between him and Kendrick and Drake's photography is elite top tier. But Kanye West, desegography is... I probably take Drake. You just say he's...
Starting point is 00:11:59 Kanye is just a real... Drake is a real musician too. But I'm just saying, bro, it's the production. That shit matters so much in music. You see Drake come out of Toronto a Don Talibor concert? Hey, that shit looked nuts.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Miggil, what? How are you been to? I don't you been to. That looked crazy. I was just in Chicago when he was just walking down. Nigger performed with a mask on half the show. Couldn't even breathe, bro, performing with a mask.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I mean, he got crazy fans. Like, people love Kanye West. It's insane, bro. And look at all the bullshit that he's done, bro. People look. People to still even pull up. It's crazy. I'm one of those people.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I'll pay hard on money to work back on there. Yeah, he's different for sure. I paid. We paid some money to see Hove. Yeah. I paid some money to see motherfucker. of Cahey West too, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Like, I use everybody else I've like said, bro, I try to use my relationship or I can. I don't mind paying for no ticket, but yeah, I respect that. That's white for this one. I respect that.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Don Tolliver E85 T. It's one of them crazy, bro. It's one of them songs. What's the song of that? The first song in the album. Bro. You just have to be in a... I'm thinking that I love her.
Starting point is 00:13:05 That's that shit, bro. You just got to be in that one. Yeah. Okay, okay. That on the globe, bro. You would have thought he was at the Don concert, bro. But even when Travis Scott came out and did
Starting point is 00:13:14 fiend, bro. That shit was crazy. No, that shit looked. No, I seen that on the internet. That looked crazy. But you understand the level that Travis is on. Yeah, I seen that shit at wrestling. Yeah, yeah. So that's a fact. Yeah. One of the best concerts. Yeah, you can play it right here. I always thought that this was, like,
Starting point is 00:13:30 Heartless was a B-side Kanye West on. Even though I love it, I don't try to put that on the world. But he ran this song back three times in the raw boy. Look at this shit, bro. Nah, people love that song. The first time, the first couple times he did this song, he didn't even say shit. He just made everybody sing. I just never been to a concert
Starting point is 00:13:49 That should be crazy Yeah, bro, it was insane, bro Right That's a lot of fucking people 70,000 twice Yeah, back to back days, bro So you do a number 50 plus three times
Starting point is 00:14:02 But if I got 70,000 You got 50 But I did it three times You did it twice You got 140 I got 150 Yeah I had shit to do
Starting point is 00:14:10 If they have more space I don't have more people On God If you would have did that again A lot of more people would have pulled down. Oh, God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:19 He would have sold out three nights. This thing is crazy, bro. And I'm not going to lie, bro. I didn't know that white people's favorite song was Gold Dicker. Yes. Oh, for sure. And they didn't stop at the hook.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Yeah. Oh, no, that. She didn't mess with no broke, niggas. Yeah. She needs. Definitely. She needs to the lady with the fist on the comb. I'm like, listen.
Starting point is 00:14:37 On the pick. You have to. We will fight this entire arena. Just relax, bro. Because she wasn't feeling it at first, but I'm like, it is what it is. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:14:46 That's why I like a whole concert. You ain't going to see that. Oh, yeah. To the left to you. Yeah, yeah. That's going to be your minute. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:53 What's up, brother? That's what I'm saying. I didn't see. Hove got black people on lock. Yeah. I didn't see that many white people at Jay Z. I probably walked past them. Like, the parks.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I seen parks. Shout out to my boy, Park. Yeah. Parks is an honorary. You know what I mean? Yeah. American. But that was it, bro.
Starting point is 00:15:11 It's just a different vibe. It was just, it was the club in there, bro. Yeah, it was ridiculous. One of the best. Sonsa had a concert for sure. That merch line was insane across the board. Oh, yeah, Kanye Merger's real crazy. If you can go to the show in Phoenix, please pull up.
Starting point is 00:15:24 You will not miss it here. And I'm like, damn, we got there. Like, we had good seats. You know what I mean? We had fire seats. I'm like, shit, if you're on the floor, you can't see. Yeah, you can't see, bro. That's pointless.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Brother, they weren't trying to look at. It was all vibes down there. It was shirts off. Yeah, bro. I said, damn, you just got here. It's crazy. Good times, man, for sure. man. All right, man, let's get some drinks going. We got a
Starting point is 00:15:47 teacher today. We got going on. Be on vacation. She's nervous. Where is Barbie at? Indiana Beach. Oh, she in Jamaica. Oh, Stella got her groove back. Oh, wait, maybe she has in Barbados. I think she's in Jamaica. Saw you, man. All right, man, it's 5-20 something. We'll hold it down with the drinks today. What we got today?

Starting point is 00:16:27 No, I like to know what's inside of this drink bar. Well, it's big. Well, let me start by the drink name. It's called It's Strawberry Somewhere. Okay. Because I have to rent from my girls. And then it's basically just like my little spin on a strawberry and a margarita.
Starting point is 00:16:41 I fuck with a kid. Okay. I don't even drink liquor no more. You're not drinking with you fasting or something? That's pretty good. Yeah, just going through a bunch of body changes. I think you. It was nice.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I appreciate that. That's be simple. Body positive. Yeah, my boy beat him, turned down to alcohol. You know what I'm saying? No, I didn't drink at all, bro. Key, I want to ask you, though. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:17:11 You used to make drinks back in the day. Didn't you want you a bartender for a little bit? I was a bartender for a little bit. I was a bartender for a house. a little second, but I was more of like a rum and cold, vodka and cram bread, kind of gritty. She was OG, y'all. That's what she was back in the day.
Starting point is 00:17:23 So when they used to like request mixed drinks and stuff, I just used to be, I used to have my cohort and make them clean. Ah, okay. You was a bartender at our spot. Oh, yeah, I was. No, no, no. Wait, you're talking about back in the day, day? Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I was a bottle girl more so. At Lenny's? Yeah, you know. I made a couple of drinks over there. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Hennie and Coates. You was passing out the bottles.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. We had a drink. We had a cragid, then we? I was a server, not a bottle group. We had it cragging. Yeah. That was, man. Lou, was supposed to own about two or three street program.
Starting point is 00:17:58 We failed, Lou is supposed to be dollar bill for sure. Definitely was supposed to be dollar bill, bro. Hey, Tab was a Patreon, man, the order store. A little did it come in soon. We would discuss more of this for sure. We didn't get to talk to Barbie about this because he'd been using PTO. But there was a gentleman. who was a fake NFL player.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I don't know if you've seen this. Would you have fell for that, Kiki? Would I go for that? No, would you have Fell for that? Would you have Google search him? Hell no. What you would have did to figure out that he won a real football player?
Starting point is 00:18:28 Well, as soon as he were to ask me for some money, I'd have been like, what's going on. But I feel like if somebody, like, approach you and they swear they in the league, like I feel like the first thing you do is Google them. So if I pop up to your career with my helmet, that's not enough for you to know that I'm locked in? I've never seen no football
Starting point is 00:18:46 him and like carry his thing. No football player carried a helmet around. That is. That honestly would have been a red flag.
Starting point is 00:18:53 If I pull up and put my helmet on your dressing, that's fine. That's fine. I'm like a hook. I wonder if he did this. What if he put the helmet
Starting point is 00:18:59 on her? Oh. Love's supposed. Selfie. Out of the game. What happened to what? Scary movie is. I wonder if he did this
Starting point is 00:19:07 to any black women. Have y'all said any black women? I've been saying a lot of white women. I haven't ever seen the girls. And that's been in the same. Most of comments. Wasn't it most of Mostly white women, though.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That's all off scene. I don't know. His resume is deep. You see the video with the rolling? That was hard. But you ain't never felt like he's, this, this dude is beyond crazy. I'm saying, a nigga ain't never sold you a dream. That's what I think DJ was really asking.
Starting point is 00:19:33 I feel like I don't got got before, but I feel like with them, I don't understand how y'all got got. Because if he's supposed to be in the league or whatever, like them niggas got cards, they got Apple Pay, they got cash up, they got all the things. So as soon as he asked you for three years. How do you know they got all those things? Because they're professionals. There it is. That's my girl right, too. That's a great answer.
Starting point is 00:19:56 But you can get got like damn nearest by a street nigger because they don't be having money on paper. So it's like maybe like, oh, can you pay for this? I'm going to get them money. You might can get got like that. But how are you getting got by a nigga who got money on paper? Because you're not trying to invest in a feature. He told you.

I wasn't staying around because, like, what he was going to do. I was staying around because I'm really a real lover girl, y'all. So you probably would have failed for D. Love did, because I was much younger back in.
Starting point is 00:21:29 The guy I'm talking about started talking to him when I was like 18, so no. Okay. So hold on. You thought he was gone. He didn't think that. I just said he was lying and he was, you know, like, I feel like stringing the relationship alone because he was a broke niggers. So it's like he was like, he was like, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:44 trying to make it, like, last longer than what it was. Maybe he really believed. He might have to be. That's what I'm saying. And how many years were you going along with this? If he believed in itself. Huh? That ain't a lie if you really believed in itself.

I just remember this low, taunting voice. next to my ear saying shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can see. say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Influencer dies. He went to Thailand to get opinions, apparently, and he passed away from the procedure.
Starting point is 00:28:13 How do you feel about that? Like, how do you get to a conversation where you decide that I need to go and figure this out? Like, is that something you guys would have a conversation with at home for him to go through with this? Or would you encourage a man to do this if that was a- I would absolutely tell my man not to go through that. Because I always was coming back with no man didn't go as dick for these
Starting point is 00:28:31 house. Like, and also, I'm not that. I can't be for the house. I was about to say I was going to compare it to the hairpiece. When a nigger loses his hair line, it's like a seven-esteem thing. That's different, though. Okay, so probably he felt like shit, the wood ain't logging. But if you have, if, if we're together, then what do you and I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:28:51 The wood ain't logging. For sure. I don't know. He's probably like, damn. Now, if you ask him in between his hoop session and his hair line, I'm going to assume he's going to probably go with the first one. Yeah, because I, I can't say too much. No, because that's just between you and whoever you do it to. Like, the headline, everybody can see that.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Until you get mad at me and then you tell everybody that my hoop game trash. For sure, but then I'm going to go back. But I'm going to take it back, though. I'm going to take it back. You can't take that back. You can't put that smotherman on the name. His joint, he's not happy with his joint. He can't really boss up on you.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Because the moment you just said, you're going to say something. No, that's what it's all. I don't want you to die, Bay. I don't want you to go out the country. die on me. Before this nigga passed away. Did you,
Starting point is 00:29:39 did you have that mentality or this is a wake-up call that you can? No, I, no, I never wanted it. I never would want that ever.
Starting point is 00:29:46 All right, what about when the guy's like abs doing? You, you cool with that? No, that's kind of, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:29:52 I'm not going to talk about them. That's not my, like, forte, though. Just hit the gym. Yeah, but I'm saying, if somebody just got it done,
Starting point is 00:30:00 y'all think there's something wrong with that? Ben, man, Kebo. Yeah, I'm just saying, just in general,

Elon, man, fucking up the market right now. I know a lot of people don't like him, but he got the 30K to Tesla CyberCad. So you can cop this joint
Starting point is 00:36:06 and while you sleep, your car could be out busting moves for you, like the Uber. They're trying to get the ride to your up out of here. That's fire. Huh?
Starting point is 00:36:13 Niggas gonna be hot. Yeah, bro. You get the cybercat with while you sleep, you know what's saying? Your car can be out busting plays for you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:21 So like the Waifer joins, but just your own. Yeah. It only costs $30,000? Eventually. Yeah. I mean, we want to buy. I ain't bullshit,
Starting point is 00:36:29 bro. You can really. I mean, how many $520 are going to get? Oh, please don't put $520 on there, but I'm something. No, we put $5.20. I'm sure. Or if you don't want to, I can put Brandon Hendricks on that motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Yeah, we can wrap them. We can wrap them. 520. Right shit. Hey, Mike, let's figure that out. I'm not bullshit. If that's real, we can buy a few. Very, very interesting, brother, to say the least,
Starting point is 00:36:51 well, that might shake the market. I will sacrifice my floors. You'll get a bag. For two. You'll get Rick Ross Marble floors. I'm fucking with that. You're going to lie. You already.
Starting point is 00:37:01 The calls been made already. I will not paint my house from these cars. Having your house in prime before Tesla is insane. Are y'all scared of this technology, though? I'm not scared of it, but I am. I'm always weird because anything that's technology can be controlled from other places. I've seen our robot, but I mean, just with the future.
Starting point is 00:37:24 We're supposed to have flying cars by now. On the way. I just hate it that is taking away jobs, though. Absolutely. I know it's ain't no serious podcasts, but that That's some real shit, bro, that people got to be aware of. Even we was on the toll roads. I was happy to see people in the toll booth making money.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Like, I know this should be crazy out here. I mean, we don't ever job. I mean, we don't ever job. Everybody gets your money hired if you can get it. But it's so many jobs that hopefully people ain't losing their bread. But the original cab drivers was pissed when the Uber team and stuff came. You got cities like Vegas who try to counteract that that and make you go out of your way to get those and get in the cabs.
Starting point is 00:37:55 But, yeah, technology is different. That's elite, though. Man, I don't know that. That's pretty. My shit wrong. I got a high take that most people disagree with me on. What is it? I know that it does take away jobs,
Starting point is 00:38:06 but I think it takes away jobs for, like, and make-go-hamey for this, but lower intellect people. I think it creates a lot more jobs for people that are willing to learn the mechanics, the AI, the engineering, and whatnot. Because for every one of those machines they build,
Starting point is 00:38:20 they need a technician to handle it or work it or manage it. So I say all that to say, just research. Always learn, always, you know what I'm saying? something that's next. The only problem I have is that the AI stuff don't take as many people to to that.
Starting point is 00:38:35 So you might have 100 people to lose a job for five. I know it's tough market, it's a tough world, but losing 95 jobs from five. My argument is you're saying get smarter, get more books in your house. But you take it in a job way. Just imagine McDonald's having all robots in there, bro.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Yeah. They will eventually. You know what I'm saying? There's a couple of those already. They order from the machine. It comes on a convert. Yeah. That's coming all the way.
Starting point is 00:38:59 That should tell you with the food. Yeah. They got the grocery stores that you walk in. You don't got to... We did it. We went to a concert or a game or something. We did. When we walked in.
Starting point is 00:39:10 They wouldn't let me in. They were just like... You're right. That was a place playoff game. That was here. That was a pastoral game. You go in, grab what you on, and leave. Oh, to grab a go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Yeah. Dang one. It's like... Yeah, but they would not let me in unless I showed my debit card. I mean, it's very convenient, but y'all are right. It does take away jobs, but at the same time, I feel like it creates those... technicians and people to smarter.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Well, I just feel like what real job is going to be left, though. It ain't going to be no real real job. I'm saying. Yeah, bro. Unless you are a nerve.
Starting point is 00:39:40 So I'd be telling people to learn a trade, bro. But they got machines doing surgery now. I don't want to know. My plumber got to be Earl. Yeah. I mean, Earl got to pull up on me.
Starting point is 00:39:49 I don't think, I don't think plumbers can get replaced. Electricians get replaced. Yeah. Barbers don't get replaced. Don't let these people, a lot of y'all are more than anything.
Starting point is 00:39:57 I know people in trades and make way more money than a lot of get rich screams, a lot of social media influencer jobs, bro. We need all of that, bro. Those jobs are never going away. Please learn to try it if you can. I originally got out of photography because of AI,
Starting point is 00:40:08 but I don't think photography, videographers, can be replaced once we get there. You've got to shoot the footage, but you can use AI to make it. Somebody has to be there to actually shoot it. And if you look on Instagram now, too, bro, even pictures that AI, they put that AI shit on there as well. I've been peeping that as well. Yeah. It's a wicked world, man.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Yeah, we'll see what happens, man. A lot of people don't like E. I understand why. But boy, then Tesla's ain't, going nowhere, no time soon at all. He don't care. Oh, he don't get a fuck. He finessed that shit with Trump.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Yeah, I'm a hundred. A hundred weeks. I'm tapping. Yeah, we're having a little off our conversation for sure. Let's get this money. What else we got, Mike? We can get some hoop shit. Why not?
Starting point is 00:40:49 Some hoop shit. Oh, this is crazy. The new Drake is coming out. He got a new album. Yeah. Fear of missing out. Is that October 15th, correct? No, September.
Starting point is 00:40:57 September 15th, correct? In a couple weeks, yeah. How are we feeling about this? He just dropped three albums. This would be his fourth one in the, year. It's going to be fire. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:06 It's going to be fire. And it's going to be another one. Is he going to tour it? Yes. Yeah. I'm back on the Drake bandwagon, y'all. I never left. I never left either, but like I'm back.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I'm like a fool. I'm back. I told DJ, I said, well, Kendrick, we talked about this on the way back from Chicago. I said, what Kendrick did to him, top tier. Masterclass. It's too big of an artist, bro, to knock off. Because people feel to realize, and I always hate just bring white people in the shit, but it's true. They don't give them.
Starting point is 00:41:33 fuck about this beef. They don't care who's a better rapper, bro. Play the slaps, bro. Play the fucking slaps, bro. He's the second greatest artist of Otoe. Who's your first? Just for me, I'm a Jay-Z fan. I'll respect.
Starting point is 00:41:46 So it's just like, whole just... Yeah, rapper. Yeah, just rapper. For me, like, rapper. I should say rapper. Artist Michael Jackson. Rapper. I'm rolling.
Starting point is 00:41:54 Jay-Z. Yeah. I think you don't do that. But Drake, I'm right behind them. Like, I know y'all love Kanye. I like Drake more than Kanye. I ain't about that. So you three?
Starting point is 00:42:05 Yay, not three for me. He's five. He's four. He four. Who's three? I go, Jay, Drake,
Starting point is 00:42:12 and then, y'all know. Futures. I thought you about and not. I thought he was going to say Niz. Oh, no. Just rapping,
Starting point is 00:42:20 not. No, I wouldn't go to a Nause concert. Okay. But not with y'all. I go by myself. He'd go sneak in there. Y'all,
Starting point is 00:42:26 yeah, but y'all. He'll be in here with somebody else. See, the problem with you is, we will take you somewhere, Mike will take you somewhere and you're going to come. I told you this one's weak. Ain't nobody dances in this weak-ass shit.
Starting point is 00:42:39 But I feel like if Mike, you know what I mean? If you took Mike to a Nause concert, Mike ain't going to grill you about how weak this shit is. What? Until you get into Uber. Mike not? Not until you're getting to Uber. Mike going to be like.
Starting point is 00:42:55 I don't think Mike going to do that. Mike, what? You're going to be the first. I told you. I am going to be. I didn't go say we just caught. That's about to see. I know how you see.
Starting point is 00:43:05 He's talking about parties. I know what you see. I know how you think. No, I'm just saying. Your critique is very, very heavy when you go initially thinking negative about it. So it's just different. So that's why a niggas is like, you know, you don't got to go to knives about yourself. We can go.
Starting point is 00:43:23 And there's a lot of internet narratives about Drake that's been going on. But Iceman was at the top of the rap charts for a very long time period. So I don't think that this won't do anything less than that. Fomo fear missing out. I think it's going to be fired. Good time to hear some fire Drake music going into the fall. He gave us some summer slaps. I'm going to hear it out, bro.
Starting point is 00:43:38 I'm going to see what's up. He's the biggest out. He's the biggest out. Yeah, we'll see what happens with music, but I ain't mad at Drake, man. Let's see what's going on as well. The new Red Bull Dragonberry and Tropic Berry Energizers now at McDonald's, made with freeze-dried fruit and an electric burst of flavor. The all-new Red Bull Energizers, now at McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:44:01 This product may not. be right for you. High in caffeine, details at McDonald's.ca.ca. At participating Canadian restaurants, excluding Quebec. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable.
Starting point is 00:44:35 I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor file. with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman.
Starting point is 00:45:12 I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself.
Starting point is 00:45:54 So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to be a moment, book your first trip. I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:48:00 We ain't got to go through all 50 of these. But I am interested to go to the top team with you, Tieg. Let's start at number 10. We got Hulk Hogan. Number nine, rowdy, Roddy Piper. No way. Number eight, Sean Michaels, disrespect. That's one of my goes.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Number seven, the Rock. Number six, Bruno, Samartino. I'm not familiar with him. You familiar with him? He's a legend. Okay. Number five, John Cena. Number four, The Undertaker.

Starting point is 00:48:35 This is just top 50 superstars of all time. Do we have any beef here? Yes. No, I'm not a Hawk Hogan fan, but Hawke Hogan would never be 10 on anybody list of superstars. I, 1,000 percent agree as well. Do Rock and Stonecoast and John Cena are 1, 2, and 3, however you want to put them.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Undertaker after that, Oh, Roddy Piper is... Roddy Piper being type of respect. He's down on that list, bro. I'm nothing. But, yeah, Brett Hart being number one, it's got to be a Canadian list or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Shout to Brett Hart, too. A real superstar, but even 20 on up, 20 got CM Punk. I'm kind of sleep on CM Punk being 20. Never over Triple X, respectfully. And my... He got over Rick Fleur. Come on, bro.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Randy Order 19. Rick Flair is 24th District. Rick Flair. The Rolex wearing, bro. Yeah, Ricklure is a top top. Don't you ever disrespect to living like that. There's 49 other wrestlers better than the Big Show? Big Show was a...

Starting point is 00:49:43 My boy Robin. Honestly, no disrespect. Rest of peace. To O'Hart, bro. If I die on the job, I've been not putting me a fucking 38 on this list, bro. On Hart was a good wrestler. The top tier.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Trish status is 20-9. She was a big. big deal, though. I know respect to Brock Leson, but I'll see, dropped the workout video team. I would never mention. Yeah, respect. These are a lot of people when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Yeah. I mean, Roman Rain's up there. That's crazy. Brock Leser 17. Roman Rain's a big deal, though. He got to be the biggest, bro. If he on this list, I remember all these names, at least. Chris Jericho.
Starting point is 00:50:14 No, you got, Roman Raines had a hell of a run. You got to respect it for sure. Yeah, but I wasn't watched wrestling at all when he started being famous, bro. That's the fact. But he held down the air. He held down the air for sure. Sure. Raised Ramona 30, rest of peace of my guy. Charlotte Flair at 27 is insane.
Starting point is 00:50:29 No disrespect to her, but that's insane. Yeah, I don't like this list for it. Jane at 31. They got Eddie Guerrero. Okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm rolling, bro. Eddie Guerrero like.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Lodchy still? You ain't. You ain't? You're like number eight. That's clear. Eddie Guerrull. Now, don't do that, bro. Rest and piece of the gold, bro.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Now, speak your truth. You ain't going. I'm nothing. Eddie Guerrull is not better than it. Well, y'all was crazy. Eddie Guerrero? No, I'm that. Bro, he won the best wrestlers ever, bro.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Damn. And he put on a show for a long time, bro. Edge and 25 is crazy. They was like the same, bro. Ray Mysterio longevity, but Eddie Guerrero's swag was different to Ray. Ray, a nice-ass person. Yeah, Ray. Ray Mysterio, he did it longer.
Starting point is 00:51:18 I know we're about to get up to list. Scroll that one more time for me, please. I want to be disrespectful to Becky Lynch, but there are no way and fuck it. Becky Lynch is a better wrestler to Rick player. Hell no. No disrespect. No disrespect to the women wrestlers.
Starting point is 00:51:29 No woman should be in the top 25. There's no difference. Wow. Shout to my boy. He said it's a lot. A little fast. Respect. They could be right outside.
Starting point is 00:51:41 My boy, Rob Van Dell. But now top 25. Yeah, no. Just. Becking Lynch over Jeff Hardy. Oh, hell no. Yeah, I don't even know who Becky Lynch. She could walk right up here.
Starting point is 00:51:52 I would know if she was. She could be off. A wrestler, but, like, hey. Hell no. She was like Kiki Palmer? No, I'm saying. She said, they make it walk right past, man. I wouldn't know who that is.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Yeah. A thousand degree. Shout to wrestling, man. It's going down. WWE. A.W. They reached out behind. They said, we got to give you the red carpet treatment, man.
Starting point is 00:52:06 You can just see some real matches. They said, we can get cracking, man. You just seen a bad clip. However they want to send me, us, whatever. I'm good with it. Is that one of them? Yeah, it's Becky Lynch. Have Becky Lynch.
Starting point is 00:52:16 She married to Seth Rylans. Okay. I've seen her. Yeah. You've seen her. Yeah. When they did a two-on-two, they relationship with a match. She's a good wrestler, but she's not.
Starting point is 00:52:25 I didn't know her name. Then Jeff Hardy. Fuck, no. Is she in a wrestling family, though? No, she got it out the mug. She wouldn't got it for sure. Yeah, shout out of back you left. He's got a lot of fans in.
Starting point is 00:52:36 I'm sleeping on a position, but shout out of the list. Yeah, you got respected, but when you start comparing stuff like that, it's out of pocket. Teague, I found this clip, man. You're James Harding conversations. Shout to KD. He feels the same way you do. Had to make a list of the best shooting guards are all the time. Which is my problem.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Shout to my boy. Brad Van Fleet. He's back, my guy. MJ Kobe, three. That's where this conversation was born out of. I'm going to say James, because of the level of, like, scoring that he reached,
Starting point is 00:53:14 an assistant that he reached. And his teams was like, contenders every year or two. Which coming from an MVP. matters and escapes, which we never hear because we always go ring. Okay, what about the MVP, though? The MVP matters.
Starting point is 00:53:31 If we had to make a list of the best shooting guards. Yeah, that's the clip right there, but I know we've had a lot of the debate of that conversation on this show, but to hear what I'm saying, Kevin Durant, I said he is home cooking. That's his guy, his old teammate, but, you know, we've had a new light
Starting point is 00:53:46 where people putting a lot more respect on their APP over the chips. Kevin Durant goes against the grain a lot, though. Well, he's comfortable with his day, man. And I believe he believes what he's saying. Because he played both of them. Yeah, and with him. Yeah, so he, bro, what James Hardin was doing,
Starting point is 00:54:01 I ain't trying to get this third back up because all these dudes is legend. They all bet. What he was doing, well, we ain't seen that shit besides Luca. Luca, the only one that can get close to what he was doing. Yeah. Nobody else is getting close. You never seen nobody manipulate the game like that? No.
Starting point is 00:54:18 I watched basketball for 30-plus years. I never seen nobody do what he did with the basketball. And you was there. Yeah, bro. He, you couldn't stop. At one point, he would walk for layups because you were scared to guarding. You was either going to foul him. He was going to shoot a step back through or he would walk for a layup.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Yeah, they changed the foul calls for him. Literally, he walked to the basket, bro. I'm like, this nigga gets more easy layups than anybody ever seen. And he's playing one-on-one. He was incredible, bro. No. I believe it. He changed the rules because of him.
Starting point is 00:54:48 100%. He changed him. Him and Steph Curry changed the NBA. Yeah, he changed the rules for sure. And it was easier to be Steph Curry or James Hardin and LeBron James. He's a big-ass influence, bro, too. Yeah, because even our guy, Big Dee, Derek was talking about it on the podcast with Cousin. Shout to T. Mac and Tracey McGregory.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Derek Kling was like, yeah, I wouldn't play James Hardin. Yeah. He's like, my influence with James Hardin, and we hear that a lot. Yeah. I'm just personally, me personally, I don't never take nothing away for this thing because he was actually in the NBA. So it's not even like a debate thing with me. I just think to me Duane Wade
Starting point is 00:55:22 meant more to his team. I can't say that because like he just said, James Horton team was good every single year. They was competing for a team. No, they was 50 wins. And that was mid.
Starting point is 00:55:33 They was 50 wins. But I'm just saying, like, to get over the hump. When Dway... When you talk about getting over the hump, I feel like you could count on D. Wade to be clutch and do that for you.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Yeah, D. Way was in a position. Like, the Miami Heat, when he, when Shack went there, there was immediate contenders. Like, they was supposed to make it to the finals. Ah, that's tough. They were. They won the immediate contenders when he went when Shaq was in me?
Starting point is 00:55:57 No, not in fucking 2006. I'm nothing. Shack was still 20 and 10. He was coming off. He was. That wasn't like, that wasn't crazy, Shaq. Shack had been to the finals with the last four years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Yeah, one, three, and then just lost or something like that. Damn. I'm not taking nothing. Shack was still cold. 20 and 10 is crazy. I just, to say they was an immediate contender. It's tough, bro. When he stepped into Miami,
Starting point is 00:56:20 he wheeled them niggins to that shit. When he stepped into Miami, Shaq said they going to the championship. Yeah, I mean, LeBron James said one, two, three, four, five, they said, they said,
Starting point is 00:56:30 they went to the finals. I'm just saying, why I don't push back to you a lot because you actually was there. So I have to listen and understand. I respect that. I just think Duane Wade,
Starting point is 00:56:40 bro, is just a different, a different animal. He is, but for me, Duane Wade said it. He took a step back. He could have got all those awards, but he did it
Starting point is 00:56:48 because he wanted to win. games. Yeah. And that's cool, but that's on you. And that's what he chose to do. James Harder didn't do that. He didn't have a choice. James Harder had to play at that for them to be contenders.
Starting point is 00:56:58 And James Hardin then changed. That's why I don't go against you with the shit because James Hardin didn't, I mean, Duane Way didn't change the NBA. Yeah. He was a great player in the NBA, but this nigga James Hardin definitely been played. I can't go against what I've seen. And I like DeWay. I think D-Way is cold.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Yeah. But they both all the famed stuff, both great players. And ain't no hate either way. Yeah, we're talking about top five in that position for sure. But never forget. The postseason stuff is wicked because Josh Smith and Corey Brewer save James Hardin. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Never forget game 60s, it's clippins, bro. Oh, he definitely, they definitely. Real buckets in the four. Real buckets. That's the problem with James. When you had that conversation, when it comes to the playoffs,
Starting point is 00:57:33 he just hasn't been great in the playoffs. Yeah. I think he probably know that. I think it probably finked with him a little bit mentally. Yeah. Because y'all are all competitive in the shit, and y'all want to win. That's my only beef with people with James Hardey.
Starting point is 00:57:47 This nigga wants to be a little bit of, a champion every year. Yeah, he won a win. Yeah, he won a win. Shit just don't be working out in this favor. That nigga wins. All you understand, he gets won.
Starting point is 00:57:58 It's going to be different kind because the money's there. The contracts, I'm in legislation. He won in the NBA. He is stamped as a Hall of Famer. He won a championship. Niggas going to have to sit down. Yeah, it's going to be real conversation for sure, man.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Shout to Chris Paul, man, talking about his departure from the Clippers. Boy, bad time to be a clipper fan, boy. I think about that situation probably one of the most disrespectful things that I've
Starting point is 00:58:21 endured I didn't been through a lot of wild stuff in my career and having older kids and a wife
Starting point is 00:58:30 who's very tapped in and they know the daily shout to five on as far as that team and that organization
Starting point is 00:58:39 obviously I was upset but my family my people like everybody. Yeah, yeah. I think just because of the investment we made in the team
Starting point is 00:58:51 for as long as we have and to see the way stuff was handled, what it lets you know is that no matter what you do or what you've done, nobody cares. Seriously, nobody cares. Nobody cares. And it teaches you.
Starting point is 00:59:08 It's another learning lesson. TIG, I know y'all got your back and forth, but I'm at the point to where I'm starting to be on the Lawrence Frank hate training. as well, bro. Me too. For that happened to what that happened with Chris Paul, bro. I know Stephen S. Smith talked about it.
Starting point is 00:59:21 He was, like, Lawrence Frey deserves more investigation for being on bullshit. The way that he did Chris Paul was crazy, bro. Insane, bro. Chris Paul's a legend. One of the probably the greatest clipper ever for him to get basically kicked off the team. Yeah. Beginning of the season, not even middle of the season. He couldn't finish out his last year.
Starting point is 00:59:38 That's crazy. Yeah. They did CP dirty. But I'm, she does a gift in the curse. I'm glad CP then he has a thing. to deal with that shit. This is your shit show over there, bro. You don't want to be in the mix of that.
Starting point is 00:59:50 You don't want to be in the mix of that. Yeah, man, God bless it, Clippers fans. But the real basketball news, and we'll talk about it more, but we're here. You know who's back to be here? Speak. Basketball. It's like, I'm not talking about him tonight. The Real is back.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I don't come up to talk about y'all tomorrow with him. Oh. Benjamin. Oh, you would not disrespect him. You would never call him Benjamin. The Real is back. Oh, word. That's the title of the show.
Starting point is 01:00:10 The Swurzy will be here for sure. Make this, Louise. What is his title? Basketball is safe. The real is back. Ben Simmons. Signs with the motherfucking Sacramento Kings will be the title of this Iceo episode.
Starting point is 01:00:25 You just wait till tomorrow. I got something for you. Hey, you know what? He had other suitors. He said, you know what? I'm going to go to my best situation. The Knicks were something. Say it again.
Starting point is 01:00:32 He had what? He had other suitors, bro. That was tapped in. They saw the workout and said, we need parts, bro. That's like a nigga options, man. I'm going to pick which hoe I want, bro. Shout to the real. The real.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Ben Simmons is back and back. Oh, damn it. Just where he will be on this set. Oh, it's a real shit, bro. You're not glad he's back, bro? I don't care about this, me. I swear to God, I don't care. It is a vibe, bro.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Hey, when I put it in my story, it was like, emergency pilot, oh, yes. I ain't going to lie. That drink strong in a bottle. There ain't like that. Yeah, that's why I said, me laying off this liquor for this last month.
