He ain't rebooted yet. I feel like I deserve an XQB. I bought him some shoes though. I bought him some shoes. They should know. That was a silent vote of some shoes in this. I bought him some shoes though. I bought him some shoes. They should know. That was a signing boat of some shoes? Some shoes? Yeah, I bought him some shoes out of Feature.

Shined a feature. I bought some shoes. Oh shit, you did. I did, I did, I did. Y'all was a signing boat. He got me some black forces, y'all. He didn't give me the white races. No I didn't.

I got you some shoes that you really wanted. And actually it wasn't even the force of us that joined the fucker forces. So you was tricking on him? Yeah, I was tricking on him. It's a token. You know how I'm a fucking idiot. A token? You know how they do fucker they do. A token?

You know how they do TLC. Come on, you can't get in the bar. The Rat Four on the way. He did hit his car into the shop. So the Rat Four on the way. Oh me. He brought the turquoise. We got it together.

It's in the paint shop. Shots of Makos. Oh, the Rat Four on the way. The buzz that one had for, it's dealin' some about right, my dog. Young Nacho, young T, got you what? Chillin' bro, I appreciate the feats today, man. B-Hand got on the icy whites.

That boy got on the rare threes, ain't that what they call it? Yep, rare. Gucci flip flops, I might fuck yo bitch, and some Gucci flip flops. You know what I'm saying, when in Vegas? For sure, seen them at fours. It's quality kicks today, bro.

And they ain't the new ones either, you know what I'm. And they ain't the old, they ain't the new ones either. You know what I'm saying? He's like, nah, they're not the new ones. I don't know, man. He just, you know, it's just vibes. Show me, listen, man. Long ago at the episode, y'all been asking for it. Here we are, the Origen.

The man behind the camera. We gonna get to the beginnings. The one and only Freaky Mike in the building. My dog, how you wet? This is how you know we're getting desperate. We're on this side of the camera. No, we ain't, we is how you know we're getting desperate. We're on this side of the camera. No, we ain't getting desperate. It's just the people have been asking for this

and it's time to come share your truths. Yes. And your lies. And your journey. No, no lies. We just wanna know. The people wanna know, you know what I mean? Like Adam 22 got from behind the camera

and started podcasting and then he started his other career. You went the other way. You started like Adam 22 got from behind the camera and started broadcasting. And then he started his other career. You went the other way. You started like, yeah, I'm 22. Jesus. Yeah, you was Adam 22. You was the first Adam. Yeah, you was the real reporter. I would never let my wife purchase a fake.

Hold on, we didn't say your wife was part of it. No, no, I'm just saying, block, if I'm Adam 22, I would never. No, no, no, we just said- No, nobody said, nobody hung Wood in Sierra for your liking. For your friend. We talk about you shooting content, just being who you are. I just don't like Adam 22 comparison.

I didn't like that at all. That's a nasty mention. That's a bad versus. That was a hell of a name to say. Would you like the producer that want to come out and come out and sing now? You know what I'm saying? You the dream.

You the dream. That's perfect. Well first of all, let's start with, since this is the origin story, I didn't wanna be your producer. That's a fact. That's a fact. Now we did not take no for an answer.

I did not wanna be here now. But we're here. Did not take no for an answer. We're here. I think once Jeff told you your percentage, that kinda locks you in a little more. I don't get paid enough sales to this day. I feel like, while we're on record.

Mind y'all, I'm gonna tell y'all, fuck him talk. This is equally yoked. No, we're not. No, we're not. It is. It's literally equal everything. So y'all know our business. So since niggas always want to throw everything

under the bus, I'm telling. It's 25, 25, 25, 25. I don't know which camera is mine because All of them. I'm over here. I don't know where my 25 been, because if I had 25% of all the money y'all make then. Well, you only go to the taxes that we did.

I'll go to the second one. We did the tax, it was like, I think your payment was a $285,000. The action is for our tax lawyer to shop on Jerry. You did get that 285. I feel like if I got paid that much money, I would have an ankle Cuban. And um.

Was that before or after the bonus? I know. Yeah, that was after the bonus. No, that was before the bonus. But you did, instead of buying an ankle, what you bought? A house? No.

A building? No. Apartment complex. Oh. I went to LS Ayres and got my shit out of that way. First of all, LS Ayres is dead. And we know Sierra got half? She actually took 80%.

That's crazy. First of all, that's not even a joke. Nah, for real. That's how he livin'. Shouts to the household. 80% of everything I make. Can you kind of give our viewers just a background of what you did before the pod?

So I was a photographer. I did not take pictures of women with cupcakes. That's a lot. That's a lot. I did it one time. It was one time. What was the cupcake place? So she wanted the ice, the shit on her nipples, like to cover the nipple, right? There's a trial going on about that.

I mean, she asked for it. No, no, ask a different man. He wanted something else on the different. I don't know. What you know about that shit where they get the, when the girl's trying to steal this shit out the rubber, the, what's it called? The turkey bastion.

So if you've ever shot with me, you know, I don't do the oil, I don't do the icing. Like they gotta do all that stuff they self. I'm like, oh, I'm not even I don't do the oil. I don't do the icing. Like they got to do all that stuff. They suffer like, oh, I'm not afraid to do all the. Oh, I don't do none of that. But yeah, it was just icing on the nipples. So I was a stripper photographer. Shippers paid my bills for like three years.

And then I realized that I can't be a progressive person like that. I can't be productive with shippers paying my bills. So I ended up being a real estate agent. I mean, most people pay strippers bills and they pay your bills. That's a hell of a transition. For sure. But he started taking pictures of bitches

with cross-neigh-arms and- Yeah, that's when I'm taking the headshot pictures. Right, the white shirt. That's the other side of the bitch. Everybody real estate pictures. Yeah, I ain't mad at that. But now he didn't put my nephew onto that. So now my nephew take all the stripper pictures. Yeah, I ain't mad at that. But now he didn't put my nephew onto that. So now my nephew take all the stripper pictures.

We had to get to the origin story because now Michael's on the team now and he's under your tool. We had to figure out, you know what I'm saying? What was really going on? I see him buffing out some ass the other day. Pull up, that nigga bitch had dits everywhere. He was taking them all out like damn.

Get that motherfucker held down. Don't take the hell out of that bitch. I don't think he's liking it. Yeah, get that motherfucker, hell no, don't take the hell damage out. They don't like it. Yeah, get a photographer some game, Mike, on the editing process. Do you request, or do you ask the girls, like, hey, it's done it up back there. Do you want this in the picture or no?

Do they come to you and say? So me personally, all jokes aside, I was a real professional photographer. No, right. So I never was like, are you ugly or are you built bad? You need to change this. I would make my client ask me to fix it. Like you came in knowing you was fat.

Like you asked me to trim you down a little bit. If you came in 225, I'm going to edit the picture at you at 225. Not saying 225 is fat. Cause if you- Oh that's a big baby. A lot of girls is 5'2", 225. If you 5'2", 225, in my picture you're gonna look 5'2", 225

unless you say I wanna be 5'2", 150. Man. God damn. Listen. You go shave off a whole hundred. I feel like they go to Miami all the time and they pay tens of thousands of dollars. You could come to me for a smooth $500.

I'll trim you down for all your inscrimiters. It costs to trim them down? Yes. Damn. So you're the reason why niggas been getting mad when they meet women in person. I am. You're the catfish king.

For sure. For sure. You tricked the whole Sunset. How you pulled it? Sunset was like that whole group was probably some of my top-hand clients. You pulled a girl down 75 pounds. I have before.

Got rid of wrinkles. Damn, man. Got rid of the hail damage. So if you just want a regular picture- Added some nail polish. A regular picture is this price. Added nail polish. Added the nail polish.

Then if you want the hail damage and all that removed, that's a whole nother price. Yeah, it's a whole different package. Cause now you making me really work. Now you trying to look like Beyonce. Damn. Okay. It's nice.

So I'll have to drive to your site, but like, I just show a picture. Like you cool with this? And knowing that they're like, are you really cool with this? Cause like you said, you ain't giving them no advice, but they still want to bust down.

So I, what I do is I send them the proof, right? So the thing that come out of the camera is what you look like. The camera does add 10 pounds, so if you're 225, you're 235. Oh, Lord. So, and I just say, give me any notes on anything you want me to change or fix, that's your opening.

So if you like, I wanna be a little slimmer, I'm gonna say, how slim? You say, you got some, you got these bags on your eyes, I'm gonna say, all right, you want me to erase them or you want me to lighten them up a little bit? They left your, they left your, your leave out kind of fucked up on this side. You want me to fix that or you like that?

You buzzing out of middle parts? Listen to me. This nigga Mike do hair. They gon', they gon' pay, they gon' pay your hairstylist two, 3000 dollars to have your shit fucked up. Give me the 500. I'm gonna spend 15 minutes getting your edges together.

And we smooth. Nah, I ain't trust Instagram. Yeah, gonna spend 15 minutes getting your edges together. And we smooth. Nah, I ain't trust Instagram. Yeah, nah, that's crazy, bro. That's crazy. So what about the video work though? The video, you can't do that in the videos. That's why like, at first I didn't do videos cause I couldn't cheat.

Like I can't make you look better in videos. Oh, okay. If you, you, you, you, you. Ain't no filters. Yeah, ain't no. I mean, you could put some filters on there, but you just going to change the color. You ain't going to really look better.

So you're going to go samey Sosa, but that body is still what it is. You're going to be bodying. 225 going to be 235 no matter what. Exactly. That's Rakeyshi. All headshots. Respect.

Yeah. So what's the process with the video world though? So I really honestly, y'all, I didn't like doing video. Like y'all made me do video shit. Like I did videos for myself because I was trying to build my clientele. I was trying to do more of like the real estate

and investments side of things. So I was creating videos for myself. So I knew how to do it. So you never shot a short film? No, I've directed films before. What kind of films? Oh, this is where the part gets good. I've only directed like business films, like business films.

Define business. That is a business. See, if Bitty would have did that, it would have been a business. That's not what you think we you're Indiana, by the way. We can't shoot those type of things. So he had an LLC under there. My LLC is based out of Delaware.

Wow. Wow. Check that PO box. So basically he was like my dog that had sister while I was in Maine. I mean, where was he at? Wyoming. Wyoming. Oh I said Utah.

No somebody wrote me and said bro, they lived in Utah too bro, you wasn't wrong. I knew that shit. I knew that shit. So you can't take that shit on the road, man. Take polygamy only in Wyoming. It's illegal there too. It's illegal in all 50 states.

I thought I said it was cool there. No, no, no. It might be acceptable. That's what this nigga was all there. No, no, no. It might be acceptable. That's what this nigga was all about. It's not okay there. He made it cool. So what's that transition from doing photos, short films, professionally,

to working with us three doing this and that? What's the difference? So I used to have a lot smoother days, less headaches, less issues. People responded to my text messages back then. I don't do that shit. My life was easier before y'all. Yeah.

But wasn't funner though. No, no, they didn't do shit. I didn't have to do shit, I think was the best part before y'all. You was retired. I was retired. But now, I guess it's cool. Like y'all all really get on my fucking nerves.

Let's talk about that part. Okay, who gets on your nerves the most? We here. All y'all. Who's the worst though? It depends on what my stress is that they like today. DJ didn't show up to the airport until it was time to get on the plane, literally.

I was freaking out because he's known to miss flights. I miss one flight in my life. And you've been late to a lot of. But I get on the plane, literally. I was freaking out because he's known to miss flights. I miss one flight in my life. And you've been late to a lot of them. But I get on there just fine. I got my seat and had a blast. He was. I saved my boy's seat, too. As the responsible person on this podcast, it just stresses me out sometimes

when niggas don't show up to the airport. So DJ B-Lay, what'd B-Hand do? DJ B-Lay. B-Hand just argued about every fucking thing. He's wrong. He be wrong. Like, what the fuck are we talking about? What are we doing? DJ be like, he ain't just argue about every fucking thing, he wrong. True. And he be wrong. Like what the fuck we're doing? What are we doing? He be hella wrong.

My mama, my mama, I done be wrong. I swear. And he like, he really try to stand on shit that he the most wrong about. Yeah, and he a yell too. I really, I really don't. I'm not gonna watch that on my podcast. I really don't, I really don't be wrong. I really don't be wrong.

No, y'all just don't see both sides of it. I'm a two way player. I'm a two way player. I'm just switching. No, no, no. Koala and her NBA only. That is off course shit. Y'all niggas think one way.

I'll just brawn it up, bro. Like, nah, we can do this too. Honestly, there's nothing funnier than a mic and B.H. back and forth. That should be hilarious. Oh, classic. That's how he became my artist though. But now I see how Meek Mill feel.

I mean, how Rick Ross feel when Meek Mill was getting out of line. Like, you know, like I brought you in this world, I can get you out of here. Like, I feel like Mike is a great. But did you ever see like Rick Ross baby mama talk about Kanye? Yes, bro.

Bro, Tia can't let it go. Bro, so raw with her. We need her on the pod. Please roll a 520. She need to back up from that table now. She is fucked up. She is fucked up. I ain't laughing at the kids, but why would you say that, man?

She's fucked up. I was laughing, bro. You know, she's probably top three funniest person. She's so right. On the internet, for sure. Nah, bro, she's so right, bro. Nah, but I'm really the most easy going out of all four of us. You gotta give me that mic.

Nah, I am. I, no. Hold on, how am I difficult? You need to say, go ahead, bro. So, I will say- I don't know. How am I difficult? You can say go ahead, brother. So I will say, I want some real shit. When it comes to decision making, B-Hand might be the easiest person to sway in reasonable situations.

Yes, and I am the easiest person to call when you need something. Yes, because you actually pick up the phone. All right, I get that. I ain't picking up shit. All right, so this nigga over here though, like, so DJ- Say his name. Jeffrey.

Okay. DJ stresses me out because like, he just be in la la land sometimes. DJ? He just be gone mentally sometimes. Hell no. We just be having a lot of conversations that don't amount to like submissive answers.

So I just won't waste my time until everybody's gonna have a problem. So he be on the fence so much. I'm like, bro, if you just tell me your answer, we there. Like we there. Okay, I get you that. Like he just be like,

oh, oh, oh. Now the counter to that is, so those times you won't make an answer that can definitively not have a conversation. Did we have a conversation? There you go, I'll kick your ass. I'll kick your dick. Here we go.

Yeah, yeah. Every time I'm like, Mike, don't ask a question, just say what we doing. And he be like, how y'all feel? I'm like, well, here we go. Because DJ snapped on you last week. I did not snap. He did.

I did not snap. It checked by, it checked by, I did not snap. I'm not saying did not snap. It's check, bite, it's check, bite. I did not snap. I'm not saying anything. Just say what you want. I was over there rolling. DJ didn't speak his mind that day. I was saying to him. Yeah.

Cause he don't do that. I was like, okay, I respect DJ's speak his mind that day. I'm gonna make sense. That shit was funny. So DJ is cool with whatever? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for the most part. But Jeff, like, I think the scariest part is like, not even scary.

I'll be right about everything. No, you didn't want to quit every time something don't go right. I do. You're like, I'm not showing up today. The foot, like, I'm not just here. I'm not responding to texts for three days. Yeah, he pulled.

Y'all called me the diva, and I'm glad this is going out to the world. I promise. It's a thousand percent, no, no funny shit. But divas just mean like the most like needed like it's him. That's a fucking lie. I agree. Real shit.

I'm the easiest. I'm the easiest one. Cause Mike manages us to say the least, but I promise Jeff is probably the most difficult one to like get to do any fucking thing. And it shows. Because, so like, I got all the ideas. You do have a lot of ideas.

I would say 95% of all the great things that Club 520 does, Jeff is gonna say he came up with. A thousand percent, even if that's true, that's fine. I was gonna say, I didn't say it yet. But when it comes to like, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?. 1000%. And even if that's true, that's fine. I was gonna say, I didn't say it yet. But when it comes to like doing- No, listen to me.

You don't have to say it. You don't have to say it. You don't have to say it. I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna keep factual. But when it comes to like doing shit, Mike, no, you speak, this is your part. No, no, go ahead, get your shit off me.

You're 100% right. Just, the nigga is just not- He don't be there all the time. Yeah, I do. Hold on, first of all, I've had every single thing. I don't miss nothing. But you don't want sons is different. Sons is different.

Sons is different. You think these niggas want to? You show up to everything. I do. Fuck them. But he always wants to be there. Facts. Facts.

That's a lie too. Okay. No, we ain't did shit. That was a lie. That was a lie. Why we ain't do playback? We lost playback because of you. What?

You were the best person to mention about that. We didn't lose playback. We just stopped doing playback. Shout out to playback. We love playback because of you. What? You're the best person to mention about that. We didn't lose playback, we stopped doing playback. We stopped doing playback because of y'all. No, he the one said, damn this shit is kinda long. Like three times a week. I didn't say three times a week. Then the nigga says.

Who said I'll do it three times a week? I said it. You said that after. I said if I can do it from the crib, I'm cool. After you said I don't wanna do it three times a week. Mike Ben said we can do it three times a week? I said it. You said that after. I said if I could do it from the crib, I'm cool. After you said I don't wanna do it three times a week. Mike been saying we could do it at the crib, but that's just one example. We love playback.

We just give y'all a little bit of how we would. Shots of the grid, shots of the game. Nah, for sure we love playback. First of all, I'm like, I'm the easiest going person. No you're not bro. Us flying today. Oh, let's talk about the fucking flights. The flights, the rooms. the rooms, the ubers.

Why y'all wanna treat yourself like second class or something? We don't get paid that much money. Man, it's a fucking lie. I do shit. Don't fucking. I agree. I don't wanna ride the back. I don't wanna stay in through snow.

I wanna stay in five. Look at this view. Look at this room, this shit nice. That's how I like it. Hey, that's one thing I'm gonna do. This is not 3.9 star. Yeah, that's what, hey, one thing I'm gonna do, I'm gonna ride cool and I'm gonna live cool.

Like I'm gonna lay my head down, feel comfortable. I don't complain about nothing else. That's something I complain about. No, that's not true. What else I complain about? Bro, what we have to do sometimes, if you could ride on this bitch in a private jet, stay in this in every city we went in,

you would still find something to complain about. That's a lie. When we gotta do something. He's gonna complain, he's gonna do it. And then if he don't go exactly right. He's gonna say, I told y'all. I told y'all. Cause I always be right.

I always be right. No, bro, always gonna show up. but he ain't never going to move us a strap. He's going to show up every time. I'm on my own. I always be right. Which is the point I was making. And then y'all be like, I'll be like, look, I told y'all.

I mean, it worked out. No, it didn't. Like, niggas ain't been back around a block. I don't want to say who ain't came back around, but y'all showed up, dude. No, no, no, they gone. We gone have nice drinks. That was one time.

Oh, it's every time. I like tequila morning with. Oh yeah, shout out to Grant Caramino and everybody else out there. But this thing is definitely the most difficult. DJ is definitely the, whatever y'all wanna do. DJ always sends in the group texts, whatever for the team.

He's one of those guys. But DJ does not respond until everybody responds and then he says, okay. Which is to me though, is the problem though. Because DJ, and I tell you all the time, like everybody's like, oh, Jeff is the most important person on the podcast. And I'm like, debatable. People come to see Jeff on the podcast. People stay to watch behind on the podcast.

We're also giving you the culture breakdown straight from the source. Listen to Reggaeton con la Gata on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, it sucks. Without DJ controlling the podcast. I think the way it's perfectly yoked is just meant to be.

I agree. But the difference between y'all is I'm a perfectionist. So that's why y'all think I complain a lot. I just like perfection. That's been my life. I got y'all know I got OCD and all that shit. So everything gotta be perfect. This nigga here.

I'll give y'all a problem example. Last night I always complained about the audio about the morning show, right? I was gonna move to that, but this shit. But no, I do though. Yes, let's get to the hate. Fans, I know y'all complain about the audio too. I'm on the show now, I want y'all to complain to my face.

Yeah, complain to my face. The audio on the morning show is bad. Oh damn. So I think like. I'm a perfectionist, so it's like, I understand people enjoy the morning show, they like it, but I'm like, you can make it better. Hey, can we do this?

Can we do that? And y'all be like, oh, here goes Jeff. Cause I say it in a fucked up way, I know I do. I be like, you can make it better. Hey, can we do this? Can we do that? And y'all be like, oh, here goes Jeff. Cause I say it in a fucked up way. I know I do. I be like, this shit trash bro. That should be funny. I feel like at this point, we all know each other's personalities enough to know

like where the hate is coming from. No, yeah, but I'm saying like, we, I don't know about the club five, 20 DMs. I don't be on that page. So y'all be talking to these niggas. But we get like texts and DMs, I don't be on that page. So y'all be talking to these niggas. But we get like texts and DMs like just about, you know, sometimes the audio, and we being transparent, this is a transparent show today.

Like what do you think it is? Yeah, well Mike, yeah, he's definitely Michael Beasley. Uh, what, don't cry nigga. What do you think we could do to advance The Morning Show? On some real shit. Me. Yes. What do I think after this?

Cause we don't know. I think if y'all talk to see how Mike's directly, the audio would sound that much better. I think Moog was probably the best thing that happened to The Morning Show. Agreed. Moog, I wonder best thing that happened to the morning show and I agree. Like. I wonder who said, nevermind.

That was that one 95% moment. Who said? That Jeff wants to claim. I think it would be a difference if we put Marcus on a show from five. Oh, oh. Marcus did say this. Did, oh did I? Oh, did say it. Oh, did I?

Oh, fuck all that. Who said let's do a Morton show? Gilderinas. Get the fuck out of here. That was me. Low key. Low key, it was literally me. He said y'all need to do extra content.

Y'all need to do more content. You need to be doing live. I literally need to do live. He said, I think it's his head. We lost a little. What do we do to go live? Love Gild live. He said it. I think it's his head. We love you, literally. Literally. What do we do to go live? Love Gila Rinus, thank you for the game.

I literally said, I think we should make a morning show. When did you say that? Nigga, I said that before we even seen Gila Rinus. That was the first thing I said. We make a morning show. Like we can compete with people that here watch us in the morning. I was like, we gotta make more content.

And y'all wanna know what they said? We don't get paid enough money to do that shit. I still don't get paid enough money. And then I said, you know what, let's pitch it. So nigga, fuck y'all. He got his older operations fucked up some of that. I think he do, but. Did I not just, did I not just.

You did say, okay. Oh my, look, it's definitely his idea. You definitely said all of that. But 95, all the ideas and shit, we let him get his shit off, but that idea, a thousand percent is yours. It's a thousand percent yours. It is, it is, bro.

Mook being on the morning show has been phenomenal. That has been a great addition to the game. But I do wanna say too though, Mook being on the morning show, and his position that he's in now was not the original idea. But it's true. He was supposed to do a college segment first.

It just worked so well that it became more permanent. So even though it was your idea, it kind of just naturally grew into what it is now. You didn't envision it like it is now. Because Jeff's original idea was like, Moop knows college, he master college, let him come in here and go crazy about college. Mook came on later on to the pod around tournament time.

So we gonna remix it next year and he gonna speak the whole time on, you know what I mean, NCAA. But that was bro's original idea. So to get Mook on the show, for sure. But for Moog, he's us now. I wanna ask Mike this question because I know outside, I mean, he does majority of this.

I do a small percentage of it. Who was the most annoying, or we can't say, what was the most annoying situation we had to deal with? Because I know, especially early on, we had so many fucking phone calls with people and a whole lot of shit that didn't make any sense and wasted a whole bunch of time. What was the funniest or what was the most annoying

or most memorable point? Yeah, I know I'm a super transparent person. So I don't really give a fuck. Yeah, fuck it. It was Gilly last week with two weeks ago, three weeks ago. I don't give a damn. Oh, well shit, we're here, we're love, I love Gilly because now we had an understanding. And I love you.

Let me see that drink. Right? On my soul. But I swear to, listen, you know. Gilly, you had my boy tight. My nigga said it. Michael is high as a motherfucker. I can't apply it on my own damn,

I don't know club 520 shit. What was it? Oh, we ain't promoted that. Well fuck it. But I don't fly on my own down. I don't know club 520 shit. We ain't promoted that. But I don't get mad. Can y'all agree? I don't really get, I don't get loud. You don't get too much out of character. I don't argue or nothing. But like, so we had a misunderstanding.

It was a true misunderstanding on both ends. A true misunderstanding, 100% misunderstanding. Like now we in hindsight, we good now. But like he called me when I'm at my son's game and he like snapped and then he hung up on me. And I was like, damn. Maybe he didn't mean to hang up on me. I'm gonna call him back after the soccer game.

So I call him back and he was calm for like three seconds, which I know Gilly, I've seen the show, he's really like that. And he goes real loud, real fast again. And then he hung up on me again. And at this point, I was like, I need to go to Philadelphia, because clearly we're having a misunderstanding

and I don't know how to yell or argue with people. Like y'all- Shout out to my nigga Wallo for not picking up the wall. I go, I'm like, I'm like, let me call on Wall while because I think me and Gilly are having a misunderstanding. I call a while, send me the voicemail. So me, me, me, Gilly and Waller in a group chat. I'm like, Hey, y'all, I'm still trying to be calm. Like, Hey, y'all think we're having a misunderstanding.

Yeah. Gilly says, niggas, send me a bill. Yeah. Gilly says, niggas send me a bill. Yeah. And not to put the whole conversation out there, but. That guy took it out of context too. It did, it did. I went to Father Philly,

but me and Gilly had a good conversation. Basically it was Malk's fault. Yeah. That's it. It was Malk's fault. Shit shit got uploaded and they called me, he called me like, BM what the fuck, y'all niggas uploaded the episode.

I said, damn, we grinded in a bitch. I'm on the ace at my nigga, my fault for real. And the funny thing about it was, did I call you before you talked to him? I don't think so, I don't know. Yeah, I did call you before you talked to him. Cause I had looked at the DMR, I was just like, what the fuck?

I was like, hey, you see this shit? Oh yeah, you called me, you did, cause I was at my son's game. Yeah, he was like, I'm at the game, I'll check it out later. I was like, all right see this shit. Oh, yeah, you call me you did cuz I was at my son's game He was I'm at the game. I'll check it out later. I was alright with least somebody know No, I'm gonna more than something. Oh, I'm gonna get yesterday. Yeah, I didn't give a fuck. I wasn't I don't look at none of the texts Yeah, I ever I'm gonna our biggest problem. It probably is Like I could just get like like the other day when we had a text about Somebody had a show we was supposed to do

and I showed up and that nigga wake up. I was hot. That nigga was like, what? He in here? Like nigga they texted at 430. Ah, my fuck. Shout out to Freddie Gibbs. Yeah.

Shout out to Freddie Gibbs. There was a lot of mishaps with this pod shit. But all in all, we enjoy all what come with this shit though. Cause we never thought it would be what it is. Or I didn't. I'm saying. I'm saying. Guess who did?

What? Guess who did? I spoke on it. I just was on, shout out to him. 95% Look, guess who did? No. I said, be here.

This shit, one day we was at the old spot. I used to get in trouble. I said, be here and it's gonna be special, bro. Me and this nigga used to talk till four in the morning for real, real talk. The real fast one. And he was like, nah bro, like I see what this shit gonna be.

So I give bro credit to that too. Like he definitely, DJ too though. I spoke on that on the pod. Like DJ kinda like, I used to say DJ overachieve, but all our goals that we was hitting early on, DJ called that shit before everybody. He used to ask, he has a wild overachievement goals. First 100K we hit,

on my mama DJ called that shit off the gate. It was just at one point, like you said, we all had the confidence in it, but at one point it just wasn't adding up. And I was just like, something gonna happen and shit gonna go crazy. And we just had that moment, we had that summer, and then shit just went crazy.

But I give Mike a lot of credit because we be having so many conversations with people that we don't be wanting to have. And we be having so many conversations with people that don't be going wanting to have. And we be having so many conversations with people that don't be going nowhere, but we gotta do it because that's the business part of it. It's a part of the journey, bro. I know, most people I talk to,

he probably talk to five times the amount of people that live on the existing spaces. Yeah, I ain't doing that. Yeah. So I always give you your fliers for that. Cause he be handling shit for real free. I told Mike he probably the MVP of the whole pot. Cause I ain't answering shit.

I mean, when niggas be calling, niggas call y'all be like, hey, Mike be like, hey, uh, Oh buddy and them asked about you. Are you going to respond? I'll be like, man, fuck that shit. We really do be like that. And I've been trying to just phrase like,

how can I tell them he said, fuck y'all. This nigga be calling me on how I should trying to just phrase like, how can I tell them he said, fuck y'all. This nigga be calling me on how I should talk to you or how he should talk to you about shit. I'm like, bruh, just tell the nigga what it is. I feel like if I say it wrong, I'm gonna have a longer conversation than I need to. Because we ain't gonna say it. We ain't gonna say the name.

I'm gonna just say no. And shout out to this brand who really, they really fuck with us, but we can't say the name. But he was like, I was nothing on it. Remember? And you called me like, man, what should I say to this nigga? It was last week.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. He called me like. Nah, it can't be the shoes. I was fucking with the shoes. No, no, no, no shoe shit. This was bigger than that. Like this was some big chicken we was playing with.

Oh, y'all talking about, oh, okay. We playing with it. I, well, I, I can't. We ain't popping, we ain't trying to show out of nothing, but this is some big money. This is why I'm like. There was one of those conversations. No, no, no, and I'm like,

yeah this nigga Jeff a little too rich. And he getting too, too individual shit. It was a few times he responded to me. Yeah, and he responded. He responded quick, he was like, nah I'm cool. He's like, yeah I ain't fucking with it. I told Mike to let him breathe. Yeah, and he responded. He responded quick. He was like, nah, I'm cool. He's like, yeah, I ain't fucking with it. I said, did you hear the number?

Did you see the, I immediately, before I responded, called me here and I was like, is he hot? He might be drunk. I said, let that nigga breathe. He probably having a long night. He's having a bad day. Yeah, Orion probably had that bitch screaming on that guy. I'll try again tomorrow.

I don't think I responded. No, you didn't. I didn't respond. But I'm like, don't call that nigga tonight and fuck him. Like, I'm saying, you're a shit, fuck that nigga. Because if he fuck up this money, he better not say nothing about shit else we got going on. And see, that's why we're being transparent with y'all.

Because this is the- Speaking of deliverables. This is the shit that we go through. This is the shit that we go through. This is the shit that we go through like behind the scenes. So we were just bringing this shit to the camera. Hold on, bro. I said no for one reason.

What was the reason? I'm here now. It don't matter. I had one reason. I was like this nigga, cause with him, when he get mad, it's fuck everything. Swear. He get on that nigga, I do it by myself nigga,

I'm Chug night nigga. Fuck them niggas, I'm the real Def Rone. He own that. He be own that type of time. She be right with me though. No, no, no, no, no, no. This nigga. He do it, I be like, we can do this shit.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He be like, hold on. He be like, what, what, what? With this number, that's why he called me. I'm the culprit to this nigga. Like this is my nigga. Like we all cool, but like, I know how to deal with this nigga for real. I told Mike, Mike just let that lather over bro. This nigga twinkie. He ain't really look at that number

cause that nigga always, this is why he's so bogus. Three weeks ago, I never forget. This nigga said, what'd he say? I do everything. I do everything. I do everything. I do everything.

I do everything. I do everything. I do everything. I do everything. I do everything. I bogus. Three weeks ago, I'll never forget, this nigga said, what'd he say? I do everything, I do every, yeah. We gotta turn up. We gotta get better. That's why I didn't believe in that shit.

I just told y'all I hate flying, bruh. Y'all know I hate flying. I hate trying to be all cool and peeing now. Yeah, I know I hate flying. The funniest thing about this is everybody relationship, everybody got a close relationship, but it's all different. So depending on what you said, it'd be funny to see how people go respond.

And that really be the funniest part about this shit. Nah, for sure. People ask me all the time how I got with Trump. I'm like, I actually knew everybody differently. And I hated all y'all for different reasons. Most definitely. Like I hated DJ first. I don't know if it was Bordeaux, Sevens or-

Oh yeah, these niggas worked together. Yeah, yeah. We worked at Foot Locker together. 16, 17, worked at Foot Locker, that was my second job. And DJ was already there. It was a shoe release and I was like, yeah, we're at 12 bro. He's like, I don't give a fuck.

Like this is mine. Like you can't have shit. Well the problem was that, you know what I'm saying? That life is good. Foot Locker, it was four, bless you with that. All were 11 and a half, 12. And I was just an associate, but 11 and a half was mine. RIP my nigga Kyle, that was just how it went.

So he's like, yeah, I need it so much. I'm good luck my nigga, but I'm right there to go. It wasn't no good luck. He's like, nah. He's like, well, shit. You should out of luck. You gotta go to Foot Action or somewhere. Somebody gotta get you, but not here.

So that's why I hated DJ for the longest. And then the funny part about this, how we connected for this was that our kids fucking, what was it, fall festival? It was like fall festival. It was like, I've been trying to get in contact with you. And I was like, damn, I'm bad, what's up? I was like, your podcast fucking sucks.

Y'all shit's ass. As a person, this nigga walked up to me and said, I've been trying to get in contact with you to tell me that our shit sucks. Like, thank you. Y'all shit's terrible. I don't know why the fuck you hated me. I'm gonna get to you in a second.

I hated this nigga here because at the time you were signed to Adidas, the Pharrell joints, Human races. The human race joints came out. He had like 30, 40, he had every color. He had a lot of them. My nigga's a caramese.

Shut the fuck up. Shout out to the Pharrell Factor. I had some Stan Smiths. That's crazy. And some stars. My mama had every color. I did, I had a Pharrell Sheltoes, I had some Stan Smiths. And some stars. My mama had every color. I did, I had the Pharrell Sheltholes, I had a couple of colors.

Red, green, yellow, I had my Tumbo's. Nigga, you asked for the human races. So listen though, so I know Pete, and I'm like, hey Pete, you think you could ask Jeff if I could buy up here? I'll buy them resale, like whatever the number, like just let me know, I want them. And y'all know me,

I don't wear Adidas at all. But at the time I never, I was Nike everything. That was the first Adidas I was gonna buy. I was like, I'll buy those, I rock with those on with the yellow joints. And he had plenty pairs. And she takes me back and was like, he said no. I was like, well damn, that's like a number of names.

He just said no? She was like, yeah, he said no. And I hated him ever since. So that's really- What you want me to do, I can like shoot. No, that's really why I was like, y'all podcast fucking sucks, because I didn't like him.

That's why we used to give them long ass weak ass text messages. He used to say it. He got trauma. He used to say, this nigga Jeff. Everybody read this shit. I used to look at them text messages, I used to say, alright, man.

See you guys tomorrow. Cause that nigga Jeff, that nigga Jeff, when we talked one day, that nigga like, bro, this nigga doing too much, bro. I'm like, yeah. Yeah, tomorrow. Look at Jeff, we talked one day, and they're like, bro, this nigga do what too much, bro. I'm like, yeah, fuck that lame ass nigga. It was like Mike. Like, if we put our brains together, and we really work at this, you guys could be so much better,

but you don't give a fuck enough. I ain't got like, man, what the fuck is this nigga talking about? It was like, what the fuck is this nigga talking about, man? We trying to drink it, it's hot shit. Yeah. Niggas wake up in the morning, damn you right bro. And it was fucking him. Mike got us together though for sure.

And then being, I really didn't hate being here. The food was really good at my wedding. I honestly- I catered to this nigga's wedding. Oh my mama, shout out to Sierra. Lil' sis gave him a hell of a discount, you feel me? This nigga just for me to meet him and he married a dickhead.

No, the food was straight. I honestly didn't eat it though. I know. Like I was moving around so much. I was really hungry and I was mad cause somebody took him out to go play. Look at y'all wedding. This side note, don't get married outside.

This nigga got married outside and this nigga got married outside. It wasn't about a no way. My wife is hotter hot than a bitch. I don't recommend't get married outside. This nigga got married outside and this nigga got married outside. My wife is hotter than a bitch. I don't recommend that shit at all. I don't either nigga. I couldn't even get my one two right. And he was so motherfucking hot. I'm like, hey, walk your ass out here.

You look good, but say this shit so we can go inside. This motherfucker hot. Your shit was terrible. No, for sure. I got married in the fall, but your shit was terrible. Yeah, but it was still getting hotter. It was like 100, it was like 105, nigga. And it rained. And I had a little black shit on my line, I was scared.

Ah! That nigga had the shit! And the particles, nigga, bunch of outs of my boy Kakes. I'ma hit you with that shit, boy. You look good, boy. I said, it's hot, it's in the fucking leaks. I know my friend out there leaked. Boy, you look good, boy. I said, well, it's hot. Is this a fuckin' leak? I know my brother a leak.

Oh. Well, that was a wrong day. What was I to shit? Whatever they do for that shit, that shit did boom, bro. I'm like, damn, there's no fuckin' no leak. I'm some different shit, boy. Yes, I'm about to tap in. Yeah, you had that boozer tapered.

The funny shit is, my nigga Mike was at that tape with the reception fight for his mic. We could say, hey, listen. Man, look, my be getting the ammo. Be a drug my nigga at the reception. Hey, this is why I love that pie. This is why I love this pie. So look y'all, this is no, Mike don't do drugs y'all.

But he, I'm knowing what this nigga finna do. We wanted the same with the party. So I'm telling this nigga, I'm like, look, the wedding is beautiful, shout out to P, you look good on your day. My bro look good on his day. But I'm like, after when the wedding is beautiful. Shout out to P, you look good on your day. My bro look good on his day. But I'm like, after when we go to this after party, it's about to be lit.

How was you sitting up there? That shit was tiring. I gave this nigga edibles. I couldn't move. When I see him in the first reception, my nigga had his, that nigga said, bro, I don't know what's going on. I said, nigga, did you do some crap?

I gave him a 20 MG Edible. You gave him a 20 MG? Had my nigga lifted. Cause I told him to, I said, Mike, just take half this shit dangerous tonight. T going up, the whole city pulling up. He said, I don't feel up. Don't miss this night. This thing was like,

I ate right before dinner. I sat down and did not give anything. I don't remember, I woke up at my house, it was like, I went to sleep, I took a nap, because y'all had a little, Little intermission. I took a nap at the crib and I woke up and it was like 19 niggas in my house.

I was like, what the fuck are y'all doing? And it's like, we have to go to the- On everything, everybody went home and pregame and there were special spots. We ain't gonna wake you up. That was a hell of a night, but you fought, you honestly gave me the thought of, I said, I could sell drugs. I could really be Big Beaks.

This is my first client. I got the gas. I got the- So you signed the first deal? And it was my artist that I got to have a look. So you signed the first thing? Andy was my artist. I could be Big Niche. Don't make me terrible. That's actually why I don't do drugs today.

Nah, for sure. That's a real life story too, y'all. My nigga thought he was going to die. It's fucking with T. That was a lit night. That shit was funny as hell. Because at that point, it was still like super formal. Y'all was doing all that like the family stuff, the dancing, the heritage. My nigga Michael over there like this like. I think he said the heritage.

All I remember from that night is feeling them boys up in the game. Fuck you D.J. Now I was thinking bro, y'all was going through serious shit. My nigga Michael was over there fighting for his life. What's the heritage? What's the people that you ordered to perform? The people that you walked up?

That pops did that. The mariachi band. The mariachi band? Yeah. He was hot doing the mariachi concert. All I remember is Kenan and them dancing in front of the camera. I was like, cause they was right there. I was like, why these dudes dancing in front of the camera? That was like, cause they was right there. I was like, why these diggars dancing in front of this camera?

That was a 40. Nah, see he had a great number. I'm like, shit, I got that three. Oh, y'all niggas are stupid, real. I was gone. But we been spying, dropping tomorrow, right? So let's talk about what's going on in the world today, man. I want to ask y'all this question

because there's a lot of shit going on. There's some trials, there's some people who know some social media is finding out about a lot of different things going on with households. I wanna ask y'all this question. At what point did y'all start judging people about what they post? And I wanna preface this by saying,

like, you know, we all adults now, right? But you see how people respond to certain stuff. At what point do you be like, I can't separate your takes from who you really are. I knew Instagram and shit was fake a long time ago. Because I know people in real life. So to see them post certain shit, to try to appease the world was kind of crazy to me.

So I've been in shit since 2014. I knew the world was bullshit. Yeah, I knew Instagram was fake when I would like see people in person. Like the shit we was talking about with Mike. Yeah. Like that's when I started, I never believed Instagram since then.

I remember I seen somebody, they had a gut out this world. And on Instagram, that motherfucker was crazy. I'm like, yeah. Facts. Nah. You know what's crazy about that, bro? Me and DJ, shout out to whatever the first week of IU is. A to Z.

This young lady still comes to my parties. This was years ago. I mean before I got in my situation, but I ran the shorty at the A to Z party. And it wasn't that. She was big as a house. That bitch was built like me. But them angles on Instagram was elites.

I want to say her name so bad, but I'm not. No, I'm not, but DJ, no. And I thought I was going to crack that night. Because I'm like, I tell them, bro, pick me up. I'm like, damn.

I want to see what your friends think when you're not the main character. That's when you see what's real. Shit, I ain't even thought of that before. I ain't that deep into the social media like that. Hit them tag posts, you can see what's real. Well, I ain't even thought of that before. I ain't that deep into social media like that. Hit them tag posts, he was real. That nigga Fendi hopped out of that helicopter. That was close.

That was close. I was like, yeah, I hate Instagram, bro. I hate to say that, bro. That nigga hopped off the side of the road. But the cameraman couldn't before, like he didn't have a good take. Nah, for sure. He showed off and been painting it off.

I don't know if it was worse, or bad, well I guess still have it. Nah, probably bad, well for sure. But I hate Facebook, that's why I don't got no Facebook. Yeah. Because Facebook is like our TMZ, our RTV6 news type shit. That's where people go and get they shit off for real. And that's what I was gonna lead to.

I don't got Facebook. It's like Facebook and Twitter is bad because you see people's like real opinions about shit. And like this age you'd be like, all right, cool. Some shit is funny, but some shit would be like, all right nigga, you joking about this stuff going on. Nigga, you have kids, like daughters and shit. It's like you have a mom, you have a daughter.

So that shit be weird to me like, all right bro, I can't really separate this from you no more. This might be who you really are. Now Facebook the devil, motherfucker, I know what's just in that bitch on Facebook nigga A girl walked in to her house with her nigga cracking a girl that I know bro and put it on Facebook All my life. Oh, they put it on Facebook. They put it on Facebook. Swear to God That's it. That's why that's why it's different Facebook is just the worst. Yeah, that's a different I mean YouTube y'all ranked the worst between Facebook Instagram and all that shit and Twitter

But I think Facebook is literally the worst. I don't have Facebook. That's why I YouTube. Y'all ranked the worst between Facebook, Instagram and all that shit and Twitter. But I think Facebook is literally the worst. I don't have Facebook. That's why I don't have it. I don't have Facebook, Twitter. I love Twitter. Twitter is the best place on earth. I got Instagram. And I downloaded Snapchat because Kenan always send me or Snapchat, I want to know. He always send like links to shit. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. TikTok, all that shit. I love TikTok, bro. I don't got that shit though. You a TikTok shopper. Yeah, I'll just say you are. The TikTok shop, I just bought a Shire scrubber from that motherfucker.

I'll say you posted it. I'll say my nigga get an ad deal. Yeah, and I bought an iron off that motherfucker. An iron? Yeah, I bought an iron. It do, that motherfucker steam the shit. Boy, it steam the shit out of you. Boy, it'll straighten you out, you hear me?

Yo. That's crazy. Crazy words. I'll wonder the purpose before that. But it's funny, cause when that TikTok man was locked in, first boys was shook. I ain't gonna lie, I was sick. They can take my Instagram, I fuck on Instagram,

but that TikTok, bro, that hurt my heart, bro. Every essential I have, bro, it comes from TikTok, bro. Legit, bro. What they gonna do with the Cavs, man? I mean, the Warriors just lost. They did. What we gonna do with the Warriors, man? Man, they in such a tough spot,

because like, Steph should be playing for championships or not right now, and I don't know if that's what they want. And I don't know if Steph wanna leave or not. And I don't know if Steph want to leave or not. Would you call this a successful year or would you be like, I mean for the warrior standards, obviously it's not a successful year. But do you think it's a, they had a good year?

From where they started and where they were, all start break when they had Dennis Shroderty now? Most definitely, most definitely. No, I'd say definitely, definitely successful year. Nah, 1000% bro. I think they gonna shake back next year though. So who you got in the Western Conference Finals? You got OKC versus Wolves or you got?

I got OKC. Okay. Cause that's what it is. OKC versus Wolves? Yeah. You don't think Denver will take it to seven? I don't got Denver taking it to seven. I got OKC prevailing.

What you got Mike? Yeah, no good and damn well. We know you don't give a fuck. I don't watch no basketball, I got OKC prevailing. What you got Mike? Yeah, no good and damn well. We know you don't give a fuck. Basketball, I don't give a fuck. Two years in this pod, you still ain't tapped in yet? Nah. I know all the players, the highlights, the stats and everything because I got to,

but I don't give a damn. Damn. Who you got DJ? OKC, you think they take it? I think we gonna get Shay first, I mean, I think that's gonna be a fire matchup. Believe me, that's that bro. Okay, but who y'all that's gonna be a fire match up. Who you mean that bro? Okay, but who y'all are, that's perfect.

That was like a great transition. Who you taking, if you can start on that team, you taking AE or Shaye? AE. Y'all know who I'm picking bro. Who? I don't. Y'all said.

Y'all know I was on the AE track before everybody. Mike, if you would just, obviously this is perfect cause you don't like basketball. A-E as a personality. So you would take A-E to start your franchise? Yeah. But I'm not mad at if somebody takes Shay, I told y'all bro, he's just not rah rah like y'all like.

From a money aspect or like a basketball performance aspect? Just like audio book. Just like start your franchise. A-E. That's your personality. Who you talking? I'm talking A-E. It's not even close to me. AE. Who you talking about? Who you talking about? I'm talking about AE. It's not even close to me.

Like. Damn. He too polarizing of a person. Yeah, like Shay would be like, I love his game as a basketball player, but he'd be like 20th on my list if I take the Star Trek franchise. Hell no Jeff.

If you had a list of players in front of you, I think you would see that differently. No I wouldn't. 20 is crazy. I would take Luka Dostridge. I just seen how City fucking damn near killed somebody cause he left. So you love, you literally love him.

He's loved wherever he go. Shout out to Niko. So I'm taking Luka. Easy. I see how much people love Tyrese Halliburton in Indiana. Like, I'm telling you bro, it's not that he's a better player. Hey, Sean's a Reese Cup bro, but I'm nothing bro.

What I'm saying is, listen, it's not that Tyrese is nowhere near a better player than Sean, but it's something about Tyrese that people like or hate. Yeah. And that's enough to keep people. I love Tyrese's game actually. I ain't never been on the hating side. I think that, I just talked about this too. I think that hate from his peers fueled his game and it was good for the Pacers and him, for sure. But it's something, like nobody, everybody knows Shay

is nice, but nobody, like you don't hear, like everybody's like, he cold, his game is nice, the peers, we all know he cold. But like fans, you gotta like, okay, see, you gotta be from Oklahoma to be like, yeah, that's my guy. I might be biased because I was on that train. Yeah, but like, okay, see, you gotta be from Oklahoma to be like, yeah, that's my guy. I might be biased because I was on that train. Yeah, but like, hey, like even still like, if I had to pick a team, like LeBron

will still get picked before a shot. Yeah, cause that's Brian, Steph, KD, but remove all them old heads, James Harden, Kawhi. I wouldn't pick James Harden over a shot. But I'm saying you said 20, bro. It's not 20 players better than Shay. They got all of you. No way.

Like Victor, Wimby, Ana. Wimby. Who would say Wimby? I'm taking Wimby. Jason Tate. No. He all right, bro. To start my team.

Taking Shay? I love Jason. I'm shitty. My nigga tore his whatever he tore and he can't get a- Shout out to Sergeant Hill, he'll have to- Yeah, for sure. I'm shitty he can't get MVP this year. No I'm not.

Man, yo, right. Damn. Yo, right. Shay a leader, bro. Jason Tatum a leader, but it's different. Shay working with Les, bro. Yeah, but it's just like- For real, them is regular niggas, bro.

No disrespect to the NBA games, like everybody in the NBA can hoop, but what's just like. For real, them is regular niggas, bro. No disrespect to the NBA games. Like everybody in the NBA can hoop, but what's Shay playing with, bro? Bro, he's over, overachieving, bro. You taking Jalen Brunson or you taking Shay? I'm taking Shay. To start your team. Taking Shay.

If Shay had motherfucking, a fucking, a cat in Mike L. Bridges and OG, bro, they raw. Them niggas is better than OKC talent wise. I'm taking, I'm taking Jalen Brunson because the pressures to play in New York is so much greater than playing OKC. He got his dad bigger than New York.

I'm just saying, everybody not built for that. I'm not saying Shay not, not saying, we ain't never seen him. It's different structure, bro. Like, ah, like people don't even put respect in name to be like on you or nothing, but nigga, you grew up like Jalen Bronson. It just wasn't filmed.

Your pops was just like motherfucking that. Y'all heard that noise? Yeah, it was the TV. I'm just saying, your pops was just like that. So that's different, bro. That's different. What New York give Jalen Bronson, nigga, he like, nigga, my pops was way worse than that.

Just like you. That's why you were so good with different type of coaches, nigga, because your dad was motherfucking goddamn Joe Jackson, nigga. That's what I'm saying. It's different. I don't know what Jalen is.

I don't either. I mean, I seen his pops on a Gilbert show. His pops seemed like he was a real nigga. No, it's probably solid, but I'm saying it's just that when you growing up different like that, I just, Shay to me, what he got, I don't know, Jalen Brunson is that type of player to take them young niggas.

You got Cap, Mike Elbrus, OG, bro. That's a, you got a whip. You still the leader, but damn bro, like, that nigga took less money for a reason. Yeah, but he still like the focal point. Like he's still the one. He's shooting 14 times. He's had the kids of the logs.

You know, he's shooting 14, yeah. He's shooting 14 times in a row in the fourth quarter. Like, you got Kat on your team, like, nah, nigga, watch out. Yeah, cause even I looked at them last year, like even though Nelson, they came up short against us. And he was dominant, he got the CD back rocking. Not to discount Shay, cause Shay, like you said, doing a lot with us.

Listen, Carmelo Anthony went to the Knicks, bro. He did. He got it way more lit than when Mello was here. Yeah, bro. And Mello had squads. Mello had that aura too. He did. But he did.

Mello aura different. It ain't bigger than Jalen. It is, the aura is. In New York? Listen. Nah fam. Mello himself aura is big. Mello himself, listen.

Mello aura in New York is way bigger than Jalen Mello aura in New York is way bigger than Jalen Brunson aura in New York right now. Oh no bro. Cat bro. They just said- Jalen Brunson is winning for sure and that's good for the city, but if you just take them as people-

Yeah that's cause- Oh yeah, Mello is bigger than Jalen Brunson for sure. Mello is bigger than Jalen Brunson bro. Mello been famous since he was fucking 14. Yeah that's what I'm saying yeah, Mello is big in New York. Mello is bigger than Jalen Brunson, bro. Mello been famous since he was fucking 14. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. But you said in New York. They just said-

Yes, in New York. Remind you, they said this is the biggest- Mello was losing in New York, bro. And he was still the biggest nigga, bro. Still the biggest nigga. That's just New York. Yeah, that's the aura. But they said he's the biggest free agent signer

in New York Knicks history. I'm not mad at that. That's coming from a basketball perspective. I'm talking about overall. If Jalen Brunson walk down the street in New York right now, and Mello walk down the street, they're gonna be like,

J.B.! What the fuck? I swear to God. Bro, he got the Knicks lit. He do, bro. But it's a lot of niggas with him. He the biggest for the Knicks right now. I'm telling you,

Mello's popularity, that niggas with him. He the biggest for the Knicks right now. I'm telling you, Mello's popularity, that aura is different, bro. Jalen Brunson works so fucking hard to get where he is now. Jalen Brunson is a blue collar nigga. I'm not saying Mello is just a spoon fed nigga, but it's different, bro. Mello is getting compared to LeBron, bro.

I'm not saying that, but I'm saying whoop Jalen Brunson been in New York three years, two years. This is, yeah, here's two years. He might go down as the best player, but I swear to God, if they wasn't winning. In two years, he surpassed everything Mello did. Yeah, because so far, it's just winning basketball. I'm saying give him his same numbers in Mello's record.

Mello is bigger. That's what I'm saying, you can't do that. The personality, he can though, the personality. What he did for the Knicks, that's what people would dream for Mello to do. They like, we wish, you can't do that. I'm saying what he did for the Knicks, that's what people would dream for Mello to do. They like, we wish Mello would've did that. And it's unfortunate, because Mello got a different version of James Dillon too.

Yeah, he got dealt a totally different head. And he had to work with Phil Jackson and shit. He ain't about to try with no fucking trying with shit. I'm focused on Jalen Brunson because he took that pay cut and believed in his team to get them to where they is. Jalen Brunson understood the assignment to bring New York to where they is. Mello was like, shit, I'm just trying to get paid

in a big market. It's two different swags, bro. But I'm saying, and I got the utmost respect for Mello. I think he won the CODIS players ever. The thing is, Jalen Brunson did that shit when New York was like not popping. Like Mello went to New York and they was actually good. Did they hear what Amari did?

Did you hear what they saw? Yeah, they was actually hooping. Like Amari really got the Knicks rolling. Yeah bro, that hurting shit. And the shit was cool. But then Mello came and he like lit a fire with like all this shit popping like New York lit. They got Mello, they got Amari,

but it was never lit like this bro. And they portrayed him and tried to get his two-miss role players. I'm just telling y' got Mello, they got Amari. But it was never lit like this, bro. And they portrayed him in two-match roleplay. Yeah, because they're winning, y'all. I'm just telling y'all, Mello was lit because they were still losing, and that nigga was still scoring 50 points on all two pointers. Yeah, but it ain't looked like this.

That was NBC. We watched, nigga. We argued at your house, bro. When Mello played against goddamn D-Rose, bro. It's different, bro. It ain't like this, though. It ain't like this, bro. It ain't like this, bro. You think Jaylen Brunson is just as big

as the superstar as Carmella Anthony? In New York, yes, right now, yes. As a nigga. Goddamn, bro. It's not, like the only nigga that was bigger than New York than Jaylen Brunson is right now was Jeremy Lin. And I swear nobody was bigger than Jeremy Lin. Yeah, cause he got his shit cold.

He got all the other people with him. Nigga, that shit wasn't even close. Yeah, cause he's a foreigner, bro. Yeah, but I'm just saying that shit wasn't close. And how we talking about y'all? I mean, he got a cheat code, bro. Yeah, he got a cheat code, but Jalen Brunson. He laid the boot prep.

Yes, bro. Jalen Brunson got that same type of. Jeremy Lin effect? Fuck no. No, no, I'm talking about like, he getting that same, Jeremy Lin was off the charts. Like he was the most famous nigga in the NBA.

Yeah, that Lin-Sanity Mello was- He made a movie off that shit. Yeah, like I was saying. It ain't gonna get no- No, nigga, he was bigger than Kobe for them two weeks, bro. Yeah. Like nigga was the biggest person in the world. We went to play, the nigga had to be 100, 200 cameras

under the rim when he was shooting for warmups, bro. I've never seen nothing like this shit. I'm like, this shit is crazy. Did he kill it against y'all? Yeah, he killed it. He got a hell of a game. But Mello came, yeah, Mello had came back. So it was like, I mean, he probably had like 18

and like seven or 18 and 10, whatever it was. He had a good game, but Mello had came back. So yeah, you know what I'm gonna say. Yeah, you know, I mean, he kind of was hating a little bit. But yeah. I ain't mad at that. I ain't mad at that. I ain't mad at that. I just stand with, I stand with Mello, bro.

Nah, I love Mello too. Cause Jalen Brunson, I just don't think Jalen Brunson has that. If Jalen Brunson was like AE, it'd be different. Jalen Brunson is just a killer. Oh, if Jalen Brunson had an attitude like AE. Yeah, it'd be different, bro. Bro, he would be, nigga, he would be Michael Jordan.

If Jalen Brunson came out of the game and called somebody sad as fuck, bro, them New York fans would eat that shit up. But, bro, he just silently kill it. He kill and he do little shit that make you be like. So if he goes to the finals, he the biggest since Pat Youn. Bro, he bigger than Pat.

He take the Knicks to the finals right now. He bigger than Pat? He bigger. For this generation probably. The OGs ain't gonna go for this shit. But for this generation, they gonna go like this. They gonna mess together. The OG's gonna be like,

y'all niggas got Pat fucked up. They gonna crash out. But nigga, OG's gonna ride with Pat, but the real nigga Allen Houston was killing, bro. Like Pat was powerful. That's what a four point play, Larry Johnson. That's the real bucket. Mike don't know nothing about Allen Houston.

Allen Houston had one of the best y'all. Allen Houston could walk right past Mike right now. He wouldn't know who. Allen Hughes had one of the best. Allen Hughes could walk right past Mike right now and he wouldn't know who it was. Yeah, but like, Jalen Brunson, bro. Like, every, bro. I love Jalen Brunson. I love Mello to death, but Mello wasn't doing

what Jalen Brunson was doing in the fourth quarter, bro. No, bro. Clutch buckets? Mello was like that team. He is. I think it's because niggas is winning and Jalen, Jalen Brunson is- That matters.

Is earning his contract for sure, for sure. And if Melo played in this era, Melo would kill. Melo would be probably one of the top three players. He would fuck these niggas up. At this point in the pod is when I would be Googling and searching up stats when Melello played in New York. Yeah, Mello would be killing this league. His stats are better than Jalen Brown's.

Mello played in a different era where scoring is more prevalent now, so he would be killing. But I can't compare it because he don't play. You know what I mean? No, you right. That's me, I'd be like, damn I probably would have been a better player if I played now than when I played,

because you could do shit that I grew up doing. But shout out to Mello, though. And you ain't disrespecting him or nothing. I hope not. It's not disrespect. Don't clip this, it'll be weird. Yeah, you know how people get weird on YouTube and shit. But I'm saying though, like, J.L. Bronson really got a better team, bro.

Is it really better? Yes, bro, because John Cena was cool. Yeah, bro, John Cena was cool, bro, but this team was. JR Smith is better than everybody else on that team. Besides Kat. And Omari started. It matters, bro. Omari started with Justin D.

Omari barely played with Ron Doty. It's different. With Mello? With Mello. Yeah, he barely played. He was hurt, but he got dumbed down a little bit with Mello there. JR Smith. I'm sure you got dumbed down a little bit with Melo there. Jaron Smith.

You got Jaron Smith, you got Eman Shumpert. Shumpert was just as good as Josh Hart. The white boy that shot threes. Steve Novak. Steve Novak. Steve Novak. Come on, bro, fuck no. Melo didn't even have a big team.

Tyson Chandler was on their team. Come on, bro. And I love TC. TC is the reason why Dallas won the championship. Dallas and Richellar are better than Mitchell Robinson. Bro, all day. Is that what we talking about? All day.

Is that what we talking about? But I'm saying like that cat is better than Tyson Chandler. Bro, they had Amari. By land style. They had Amari. Yeah, bro, but Amari didn't play. Come on, keep it real, bro. Maquell Bridges and OG Anoby bro is a better duo

than fucking Schumper and JR Smith. On some real shit. Yeah, I mean JR is just good. And I fuck with Iman and JR. JR Smith was just shining the year at that time. But to have two wings like that is crazy bro. Niggas got seven foot wingspan bro and guard up any position.

But Mello one of them wings. Jalen Bruce up any position. But Mello wanted them wings. Jalen Brunson. It's really Mello and JR Smith against. Jalen Brunson gets to relax bro. Cause he can take some nights off. Who was the point guard for the Knicks at this time? The first game against the Selfies, OG looked like the best player on the floor.

With JB and everybody out there. Yeah, who was the point guard for the Knicks? Chauncey Billups played PG. Raymond Feldman was a PD. Come on, Mojave, he got traded for Mella. He got traded for Mella. One of my favorite point guards. He got traded for Mella.

Did he? I don't even know who led that, that's what I'm saying, we don't even know who led that team. Only point guard I remember playing with. They did have OJ Kid. Come on, man, niggas got better when they left New York. Maybe it was something in New York.

Cause J Kid was on that Maverick squad too. With Tyson Chandler. Only point I remember really playing with Melo bro is legit Chauncey Billings on YouTube. I know y'all check everything. Check that out. They had older guards in New York. That's a fact.

I mean they had a older- You don't remember them matchups? They had an older scene. I mean Melo had an older scene. Yeah that's different, that's what I'm saying. Jalen Brunson is literally rocking with niggas that he's around his age group. Like, come on, man.

Mike L. Bridges is really one of the best fucking wings in the NBA. Top 10 wing in the NBA. I'm not saying their team wasn't better, but what he doing with that team, because nigga, they don't get the ball like that. Nigga, what is wrong with the game? Nigga, they get the ball to Jalen Brunson.

You ain't gonna give it to your killer. What you say about Joe? Joe said, y'all do y'all thing these first three quarters, this fourth quarter, and they give me the pill. Well, I'm saying you doing that. He earned that. I took a hundred million dollar cut. Give me the fuck a ball.

But listen, you doing that. You think Mike is taking a hundred million dollar cut for us? Listen. I would. Listen. Oh, nigga. I'm not taking that. But listen, he doing that in the fourth quarter.

He's about to be in the Easter Conference Finals. It's like, he lived. Is Jalen Brunson better than Tyler, I mean Tyler, Tyrese Helleberg? Yes. He gotta beat him though. And they about to meet up. You gotta beat him.

But I mean, they did get their ass beat tonight. So Celtics might be on something but Got a brunson bro. He got bro. People in New York, bro. Tell him bro. Y'all gotta do nothing else, bro You did enough. We love you like brother. They were tired Jersey already to pivot this conversation I'm gonna ask you this question of the remaining people left You got a lot of people who could be first time champions. Between Halliburton, JB, AE, and Shay, I mean, we ain't gonna count out, okay,

I mean Denver, but just with the most O's, who would this championship mean the most to? Jaylen Brosnan. Okay. Because of Nicks? New York. If he wanna chip in New York, bro. He's forever good, no matter what.

He's forever good now, but if he wanna chip in New York, bro, he- Gonna mean the most. Bro, he gonna, they might put forever good now, but if he went to chip in New York bro he- He gonna be the most. Bro he gonna, they might put a statue up bro. They got to though. He be the most polarizing figure ever, just cause of the market. If OKC, if Shay wins NBA championship,

it wouldn't look nowhere near as Jalen Bronson. Nobody give a fuck about Oklahoma City bro. What about A? That's a- A he be lit but nobody give a fuck about him. It's like Giannis went? That's a- A would be lit, but nobody give a fuck about it. It's like Yannis won the chip. Nah, that's a good point too, but it's like, if Shay wins it, oh my mama,

he gonna get treated like Kawhi Leonard in Toronto. Yeah. Real shit. Yannis in New York? New York? If Pat Ewan would've won in New York, bro, Pat Ewan would've never put on the Orlando Magic Jersey. Yeah, bro.

Real shit. So is everybody with DJ counting the patients out? I'm not counting them out. Oh, I am. I'm not. I think they can win, but I'm just saying it's Jena Brunson. If you win a Bregan New York, you like, you a guy, bro.

If Tyrese Helleberg win, oh my mama that's Kuala Lina champion shit. Oh, if we win a champion shit, they're gonna say we don't give a fuck. They're gonna say they can't do it with them. The three other teams in this final four that we think of Denver don't win, and then they're small market teams. Nobody gonna give a fuck. Nobody gonna give a fuck. That's how the NBA works. Yeah, so New York, they beat Boston. They the only team that. But I ain't gonna lie, it's lit in Indiana

if Tyrese bring his shit for us. For us, because we from there. If Tyrese Halliburton puts his shit in Gaines Bridge, bro. You have to give him, he is the greatest pacer of all time. But ain't nobody gonna give a fuck. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time.

He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. He's the greatest pacer of all time. I said in Indiana, if Tyrese bring his shit for us. For us, cause we from there. If Tyrese Halliburton puts his shit in Gainesbridge, bro.

You have to give him, he is the greatest pacer of all time. But ain't nobody gonna give a fuck. Nobody's gonna give a shit. If the pacer's an O.K.C. make it to the finals, it's gonna be the least watched finals ever. Oh yeah, you think the draft library's rigged now. Boy, they gonna make sure. Like, that shit gonna be.

I think it's good for the game. You remember when, who was that? The Knicks and the Spurs played or something? Did nobody watch the finals? Yeah. It's gonna be worse than that when, who was that, the Knicks and the Spurs played or something? Did nobody watch the finals? Yeah. It's gonna be worse than that. I agree. That shit ain't nobody gonna watch the finals, bro.

I agree, but I think it's good for anybody. That's why the NBA need New York. It'd be good for our city, because niggas don't remember when the Colts won the Super Bowl, it was quiet. But Payne Manning was so polarized. That was a P-Murder though. It was, but it was really quiet, y'all.

I was probably definitely mid. It was probably, yeah. We went, me and my niggas drove downtown. Probably was weak as fuck. It was, it was, it was. But only AE. It was quiet. AE can say the finals.

Either Jaylen Brunson or AE can say the finals. But if it's OKC or Indiana, bro, that shit is not. Ain't no telling what AE gonna do if he win. But AE playing in the finals, it's gonna be, cause he gonna start saying shit. You know why we here. Yeah. Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah.

But if it's Indiana and OKC, filthy. Yeah, cause AE winning shit means everybody and I'm better than all y'all niggas. Now what's up? Yeah. Ain't they gonna have to run the bank? Niggas tell Obama, nigga. Yeah. Yeah, one team left, really. Yeah, like, he talking like he like that. I am better than all y'all niggas. Now what's up? Ain't they gonna have to respect me? Niggas tell Obama nigga. Yeah.

I'm rolling. Y'all don't know for that. Cause Obama out of pocket. Hey, what's the nigga that played for the Philadelphia Eagles? I think his name was Knox Cox, pause. He was like a defensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles back in the day. What's that you're having now?

I don't know, I think his name was like something Cox, but pause, but he was like, that's just a, that's a wild ass name. COX. Yeah, that one. But he was like good, but when Bush was the president, he came walking by and he was like, I heard you a Cowboys fan. He was like, who told you that?

How you know that? He was like, we about to beat they ass. Don't worry about it, we gonna beat they ass too. What you talking about? I was like, damn, Fletcher Cox, isn't that? Shout out to Fletcher Cox, one of the best. He was like, you gonna beat they ass. I was like, yeah, I like them kind of niggas.
