New Rory & MAL - Episode 118 | Guess Who Got Kicked Out Of London?!

Episode Date: November 11, 2022

Fresh off a sold out show in London, we’re officially back in New York. The team discusses the rest of the trip. Needless to say, we have a newfound appreciation for the "Startenders" in New York. Following the show, Red Ranger Rory and Julian ended up back at the hotel where they had choice words for the hotel manager. Actually, the team had choice words for a few people in London. Maybe Drake’s energy on ‘Her Loss’ influenced everyone. Spoiler: everyone agrees the album is great. Except for Vogue…who sues Drake for the fake cover. Stateside, the elections are over and Chappelle returns to SNL. The guys discuss all of this and more as they prepare to start their southern shows in Atlanta this coming Sunday.

Roy, we are back from London, man. We are back on U.S. soil. You can just fill the poverty. You can just fill the... You can just fill the... It's different. You can just feel the tax rate. Oh, my God.

I'm sick already. Oh, no. We're the not trying to get sick boys. For the people that are watching this, it's tea everywhere. Yeah. Look, we come from London. We took that from London. Straight back from London.

Yeah, I fucking fucked around and fell asleep with the AC on one night. That's what it was. Because, you know, the windows didn't open in the hotel. So I couldn't get no air. It was hot as fuck when I woke up. I was sweating. I said, I got to turn the air. And I thought the air.

And I thought the air. I thought the air would cut off after it reached a certain temperature in the room. That's what I thought, too. woke up four hours later, AC was still booming. Did you have to do the Celsius converter? No. Because I was very confused as to what the right temperature would be at Celsius. I just looked at my phone.

I just said, okay, what is 27 Celsius? And it was like 80. So I was like, okay, you don't want it that hot. Fair. Have you ever gotten mono? No. Okay. Neither have I.

You don't know anyone that's gotten mono? I got mono. Of course you have. Julian would have. You would be the one that has mono. Julie, you definitely kiss chicks as soon as you meet them on the dance floor. Baby D. Have you given out the mono before?

I actually have never had mono that I know of. Yeah, girls don't really get mono because freshman year of college when I got it. Like, not the 90s? But I'm sure people have had... It's like getting polio. How are you still getting mono out here? I'm sure people have had mono and not known that it was mono. Because it just, it presents as like the flu, right?

I had it with bronchitis and then I couldn't sleep. Like, I legit couldn't breathe for three nights. It was the worst. Do you know the culprit? No. the shit he was, he was sucking face with? He doesn't,

Julian doesn't know. He doesn't remember his nights. There was a couple. Nights he doesn't remember. You know he lives by that. Oh, God. He wakes up to not remember people that I can't forget. With the people we can't forget.

Absolutely. So we're back from London. London was amazing. Yes. I cannot wait to get back. I don't know by the rest of y'all, but can't wait to get back and experience him all London. Maybe when it gets a little warmer, though.

You need to go in the weather's nice. It's a little warmer so we can really just be out walking around, not have to worry about being. He's raining the whole time. Bundled up. Yeah. Here's the thing. I want to rent a car next time we go

because it's impossible to get an Uber out there but also traffic is a fucking nightmare. Every time I called the Uber and say two minutes. I was with Roy though one night when we had the last night we went out for dinner. We tried to flag down three different cabs

called like four or five Uber's. It was a process. Yo, one cab we finally got said you're going in the wrong direction. I was like, you can't just turn around? Bro, so which way are you going? He looked at the phone and goes, oh, that's that way and points behind him

and then just speeds up. wide open U-turn right where he was too. Yeah, I didn't have any bad experiences with the Ubers. Me neither. Pretty efficient as far as whenever I needed one. Don't do that. And then I were trying to go sightseeing. We couldn't get an Uber.

Oh, that's a lot. Yeah, you're right. We couldn't get a cab. We couldn't get a special date. Really? Yeah, that sucked. It was also just raining. I think that doesn't matter, man.

It's London. It's always raining. It's always right. It's not a fair excuse. But either way, it was a great time. Had a lot of fun. We do need to spend. I feel like we need to spend more time out there to Roar.

He'd spend at least two weeks out there. I would say three because it's so close to so many other cities that I would want to have that type of experience. Definitely want to get to Paris, want to get to Spain at some point, Barcelona for sure. But shout out to all the people that came out to London. Thank you for the love. It was amazing, humbling experience. I still can't believe so many people came out to support us and kick it with us and so many kind words and just so many dope people that we met. I don't know.

But you had some... Well, no, I mean, the people that have listened, we did record in London, but the show and a bunch of days afterwards did happen. So there is more to update the people outside of the box experience that you guys had. If you want to hear that experience, please go to episode 117.

117 to hear Julian and Moll's extravagant. Shout out to the legend, Rosewood. And Kitty Cat, wherever you are, we have so many more milks. So many more milks for us to explore, I promise you. Is she your treacherous twin? I would love Kitty Cat is definitely your treacherous twin

I would love for her to be my treacherous twin Did you call her that? Did you whisper that? No, I wish I would have. While the Mick, the milk is track. I don't think the album was out yet. Okay. We went to the box. Yeah, but I feel like you would have thought that when you saw it.

It came out that night. When you listen to that album, you're like, finally I feel seen Drake, that's what I couldn't say to this woman. Oh man, kitty cat is. Didn't have the right words. But we had a lot of fun, man. A lot of fun. The show was incredible.

The show was amazing. Amazing. We had some technical difficulties, but that's okay. We worked through. it. We got around that. For those that don't know, Mall and I kind of freestyled that entire show for two hours. A lot of our show is based around the projector and segments and videos and intros and and all this other great shit.

I was kind of upset because we weren't able to give our full-out experience for our first time there together. So it was kind of like, you know, back in the dressing room, I was a little upset and a little annoyed like, fuck, I was, I really wanted to give London our full experience, our full live show experience. We weren't able to, but we still went out and gave what, I believe, was a great show that a lot of the people seem to enjoy it. They seem to love it. One of the best crowds ever. I know we're not supposed to like, I know every city is supposed

to be the best crowd ever. No, that London crowd by far was one of the best crowds I've ever stood in front of. Which is why I was so pessimistic. Like, because we got off stage, I was like, wow, that. And usually, you know, I hate shows. No matter what, I'm like, I think it was bad. Yeah. I got off stage. I was like, that went incredible. That crowd was so much fun. Then my pessimistic mind took over and was like, damn, what if they got the real show? Yeah. Like, that could have been the greatest show. Well, that's more of a reason why we got to go back. Yeah, we got to go back, go back sometime next year for sure,

and I'll give them a full experience. By that time, we'll have a whole different show put together for them. But yeah, definitely want to spend more time on the ground out there in London. Thank you to gigs. Everybody that checked in on us, make sure we were good out there. Yes. Gold Link, everybody. Shout out the Gold Link.

Shout out to Nada for showing us a good time. We went to, so while we were there, we wanted to experience some of the nightlife culture. And London obviously went into the box. Well, after the show, I definitely wanted to because I thought London was going to be really proper at the show. And we do the couple segments and a bunch of other stuff. Yeah. You guys are horrors too.

Hors? They gave it up. Yeah. Excuse me? I thought, I was worried about some of the segments that we had. And, of course, we were freestyle. But I was like, damn, I don't know. London is so proper, even if they're not, they're going to come across that way.

Yeah. You couples need to learn the word faithful. No, but you know what's funny? Y'all ain't shit. So, and the whole threesome question that we asked some of the couples, so people were making me privy to the fact that in London, and that's not really a thing amongst a lot of people. Three sums?

Yeah. What, really? Like couples? No. They need some shoes. Maybe. Maybe they need some shoes. But that's why some of the couples looked at us like, no, like, you know what I mean?

Like, we don't know. Oh, they certainly fuck one-on-one a lot, though. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. It's a lot of one-on-one isolation out there. But we went out to experience some more of the nightlife culture there. So the night that we had this show, a friend of mine had, she told me that, you know, we don't have a huge strip club culture in the UK. But there is a quote-unquote stripper party tonight. Yes. These don't happen. This is like, so I felt like we were going to witness a lunar eclipse.

I was like, we can't miss the one night that. The blocs are going to get blowed. Yeah, like the only stripper party in London. Like, we can't be here and not go to that, not experience that. So we went out to the cabaret. I forgot the name of it. The cabaret. No, the name of the places.

The name of the place is something cabaret. So we went there. Why do they always try to like dress those up as if they're not with it? The cabaret. It was strippers. No, no, no. I can believe that that was a cabaret we went to. Because after experience what we experienced,

definitely wasn't a strip club. That shit was not a strip club. It wasn't a strip club. So I automatically knew that something was different because when I walked in, I had to go back to the hotel and get my idea. Yeah, you left us alone. No, I'm, but I were good.

Y, you got it. You did the old trick. Yo, I got it. It's on me tonight. Yo, everyone coming with. It's on mall. It's on me. Mall gets the door.

Yo, forgot my ID. Then I'm sitting there. Like, well, I guess I have to pay now. There's like 10 of us. Well, I mean, it's also the same card. I know. It doesn't. Whether it's your card or my car, it's the same card. Well, I didn't know.

I thought maybe you were saying, like, it's on Mall LLC tonight. Oh, no. We write that off. Not our LLC. No, we're writing that one off. So I had to go back to my ID came back. No, Loyhan charged that as fraud. We was in the club.

He said, yo, did you sign for anything else? No, he said, perfect. Well, they gave us a hard time getting in. And Roy had to pay. How much you had to keep paying this man at the door? I was begging them. begging them to take my money. Like literally begging.

But you know what? That's why Nato was kind of upset because she felt like for what we were paying for what was supposed to be the best table. They did not give us the service like we were getting the best table. So she was kind of upset about that.

But I automatically knew something was wrong because when I get in, all the security keep tapping me and they keep going like this to my hat. Oh, yeah. So I'm like, I'm like, what does that mean? So then one of the dudes told me like, nah, you got to turn your hat to the back.

I was like, for what? Oh, that's why your hat was back. Yeah, so I'm like, for what? You thought he was just trying something new out? Yeah, he's in London. Let me try. I was like, I'm like, I'm like, mall and I were next to each other.

And I looked over and it was like, yeah, he was trying something out, you know? I was like, people can see his face better. Like, you know, mall's in the building. And that's what it was. It was. Maybe the DJ will see me. Yo, turn your hat to the back so that we can see your face.

I'm like, what? That's so stupid. Never heard of that. But I'm like, listen, when you enroll, you must do as the Romans do. So okay, turn my head to the back. I didn't see y'all in the corner got the table. I'm like, okay. And then Julian approaches me, he's like, yo, so these are the singles.

I'm like, so he's handing me a fistful of what looks like monopoly money. It's pink. I'm like, what is this? So apparently the singles in London are coins. Yes. Yeah. You don't want to throw coins. Literally, you could throw a pound at a woman.

Yes. You don't want to throw a coin. out of them. Like, that's how he used to doing like the medieval times. They're like back and grab king and just like throw it at the jester. Throw it at his head. So we had the fake money and I was just like, okay, I'm not throwing fake money at strippers, but whatever. I was confused already because at the door they were saying no card because that's what I had.

I didn't have cash. But they wanted to scan our ID. So I was like, you want to be on the books or off the books? You're scanning my ID, but it's no card. cars, then finally we get in and then they're like, no cash, give me your card. I said, all right, man. Who's running this show?

That was the thing. Sonata was just like, you know, it was a little unorganized and I don't think she liked the way we were, you know, handled because we paid for the best table. But whatever, we just wanted to experience a stripper party in London. We did. Oh, no, you missed the traumatizing parts.

You came towards the end when we started to have a little bit of fun. Oh, no, I saw the video with the bottle boys. Right. Oh, my God. So he came over. And at that point, I was annoyed and, like, we had a good amount of people with us. And you know, sometimes you start getting the anxiety of feeling responsible for people. Yeah.

And then I had inherited your anxiety because at one point, I was just the tag along. Right. Then I became the leader. Nice. Of something that I didn't even know about. So I was like, hey, could we just get a bottle? And then they had some other minimum. And I was like, all right, whatever it is, just please.

And then he started asking what bottles. I said tequila. And he said, we only have one bottle of tequila. I was like, dog. Just bring. Just bring whatever the fuck at this point. That's like school days when they went to KFC. She was like, white me to dark meat.

He said, white me. She said, we all out of white meat. What the fuck you ask me for? No oxdale's today. I mean, they take this fucking little right shit off. They're fucking pan out the fucking water. There was no more ox tail in it. So they come out and they're like, we're going to do a show for you guys.

This was like their apology to me. Because at that point I was clearly annoyed. Sorry, we're going to do like a show for you guys. Like, we don't need a show. Like, just, you can just bring the alcohol over. Show us the tequila. Just please. At this point, it had been, I don't know what, 40 minutes and we still, we were sober and just

at least 40 minutes. So then all of a sudden I see a bunch of blokes. I don't know what they identified as, but they look like men to me. A bunch of bus boys. They were men. A bunch of, yes, a bunch of bus boys, guys doing bar back started coming out with bottles of Hennessy that I didn't order. Closier Azul.

They had like all the, you know, the show, the show. bottles. So these guys just start dancing around me. I'm like, stop, you really don't need to do this. And then that's when I turn to go like on the railing of just disgusted. And then the guy comes over like, you know, like, hey, hey, look what we did for you. I was like, this is for you. And then he said, we gave me the big bottle tequila.

And I was like, thank you. So once the, once the blokes exit the area, I go over naturally to just start pouring drinks like, oh, we'll pour him for you. I was like, I don't need another man to pour me a drink. It's not a good. If it was a girl, maybe like, all right. Cool. Even though I don't even like that. I like pouring my own drinks. Yeah. So I go to start pouring drinks for everyone. And then the same general manager guy comes over, he said, no, no, no, no, sir. These are fake bottles.

They were all empty. He said, these are fake. They're not even real bottles. I said, you're kidding. I said, where the fuck is alcohol then? And he's like, well, we're going to bring it. I said, we've been waiting for 45 minutes. Just bring me the alcohol. I don't need you and your man's in them to dance for me with fake bottles. Just bring me the fucking alcohol. Yeah, they did a little number for you. As soon as the sparkers came out, that's when I started filming. Because I was like, I already know Rory's about to hit me. So, that great content. Then he's like, well, we have to bring it in carafts because it's like illegal. And I'm like, at this point, bro, I do not care. See, I don't like that carav shit.

I don't know what that is. That's not Clase Azul. You know, if Clase Azul bottle, the big one? Yeah, a nigga brought you some absolute vodka. He brought three shots of house tequila. It was like Jose Cuervo, bro. Yeah, there definitely wasn't no class. And Aaron's like, I've worked it, like, this is not a bottle.

This isn't even a regular bottle of tequila in here. He's like, do you want to see the video camera footage of me pouring it? And it was like, at this point, bro, we're just going to leave. Yeah. I kind of wanted to be like, yeah, actually, show us. Right? Like, I want to, at that point, I'm going to force your hand. Yeah, actually, take me to the back.

Run the tape back. Let me see you pouring Claudezzezoo in this carap. We asked for pineapple juice. They brought out, they didn't even put those in the craf. They brought them out in these boxes that we had to, like, tear it. It was so bad. The alcohol was in caraps. What should be in the caraps was in boxes.

It was a fucking mess. So all in all, what we have to learn is that we should be appreciative. of the star tenders. A thousand percent. I apologize for anything negative. Anything bad I've ever said about any bartenders here in America or New York. Dancers, any strip clubs, I apologize. It's not until you leave home and you leave America and you try to go look at some ass

in another country. Do you realize how privileged you are? And I feel bad. You know, we've always talked about the strippers, how we feel for them because the bartenders just sit there and they're doing fucking backflips on stage. The strippers in London literally did. like a two-step and they were making it rain with fake money. They were just partied with each other on the stage.

They didn't strip. They didn't, they had on like turtlenecks. You all I thought. Y'all didn't think they were going to get naked, didn't you? No, but I thought like, no strip club. They didn't even shake ass. They weren't dancing. They were dancing amongst each other.

It was like a party and we were just on the outside watching them dance. It was a bunch of girls dancing with each other. It was Instagram. Yeah, that's all it was. But we experienced it. And everyone made it home safe, I assume. I don't know what two gentlemen's night ended with. ended with or how it ended

I went to hang out with Better Impeach Yes we saw the video of you You three You lads in the bar Yeah, doing Yeager bombs Yeah, doing Yeager bombs Yeah, we got rejected Next to girls

At least I saw him pour the Yeager, okay? Yeah, you did Yeah That counts. That being said, we got rejected by like six different bars What could you think? It's already the bottom of the fucking bear

What should mean you got rejected by six bars? We got rejected by six different bars Why? They wouldn't let y'all in? Well, the first few were By the way, By the time we were going to these bars, it was like 12 o'clock-ish. In London, things kind of close off early.

Yeah. Right? So the first few bars we needed a reservation for. For a bar? For a bar. Well, they make you RSVP just to get into some of these bars. Okay. Then the last one, oh, the fifth one, I'd say another reservation, but they were, oh, no,

they were in closing time. Yeah. That's what it was. They closed that too, but they wanted to close the bar early, so there was no point for us to be in there. The last one, we were about. to go in. It looked good. Very close to the hotel room.

They were going to be 10 quid per person, right? Lit. We all paid off for security. Then the security guy looks at Peach. He's like, hold on one second. Lift your sweater up. And he kind of looks at his pants. And then he's like, no, no, a little bit more. Oh, no, higher.

And then he listens. Want to see his titties? Bras. So he just sees like the band. He's like, yeah, you can't have sweatpants on. And we did not get into that spot. Wow. So wait. For sweatpants.

He wanted to see Pige's weight. Maybe he was like his waist. He really wanted to see his waist. He really wanted to see his waist. He was unbelievable to get into this bar. You can not get in this bar without any abs. Poor Pige was frustrated. And he's like, what the fuck?

Yo, security guards in London are different fucking three. I almost got in a fight with one with Ed and. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's for a little later. That was a different night. All right. So see, you're the common denominator here.

It's not me in the way Moore tried to make it seem. No, no, no, no. Wait, now we got to slow down. Like, because I, okay, when we. That's rewind a little bit. When we left the stripper party, we went to another club. I thought that y'all were coming. So we were going to get another Uber.

I was having trouble getting an Uber. I was texting Aaron and it was looking at the time. And I was like, yo, by the time we get all the way over there. It was going to be close. And then it was opposite of the hotel too. At that point, we had done the show. Yeah. I had been through the stripper party extravaganza.

It was like at this point, let me not force the night. I feel you. Let me just go to sleep. You know, we have our day off is the next day. I want to go see the sites. Yeah, yeah. See the sites. We didn't see the sites.

We didn't see shit. At this point, we have been recording or do a press or working the entire time. I had not seen London yet. I'd seen the hotel and wherever the fuck we was at. That's the fact. So, me, Loyon, and some of the girls that was with us at the strip club, the department party, we went to rain, was the name of the club, which we probably should should have went there first.

I don't want to interrupt you, but I have to ask. and you, this could be a very quick thing. Yes. Do we need to put more respect on Loyon's name? We don't need to explain why. In what sense? I just saw some things that I maybe had Loyon fucked up and I need to, you know,

maybe put some more respect on his name, that's all. Not that I've looked at him in a different way, but... For those that are, Loyan is our financial manager. Oh, no, they know, because we set it on stage. Loyon did that. We should be checking the books, Rory. Look it. Yeah.

Loyon was having way too much fun. And you know what's so funny about Loyon? He's only ever dresses in a button-up shirt and a blazer. So when he tries to like dress regular like he did on a London trip, he looks like an undercover cop in like every outfit he puts on. He was definitely. It's so funny to see him outside of a shirt and blazer. He was cooking.

He was definitely dressed like a narc. Oh, for sure. He definitely like went online. He was like, what are the kids? kids wearing and like that's what he wore to London. But I've been told you to put respect on Loyian's name because I go out with Loyon and Loyon. We should definitely check your book.

Put some respect out. No, we're going to put respect on his name. Then we're going to check the books. Because he was... He has control of all the money. So we can put respect on his name. Let me see the numbers from the last six months.

I'm just saying I don't think he was pitching shortage to do her taxes. And she was really into whatever the fuck he was saying. That's all. I just want to know if we need to put some respect on his name. I want to give people credit. Respect. Listen.

I was talking about you just talking to a girl at a bar I was in the box of Loyon and I told me and Julian were talking all night and I said yo dog Loyon is definitely definitely a wild wood Okay but the way y'all explained him

at the box And then when I saw him at the stripper party And then I saw some footage Later on that night I saw like the Gemini of him The two sides not the crazy nasty shit Y'all was talking about the box He seemed like he was a real respectable gentleman

He was saying the right things Look like he said some He had some Elginiardard L. L's in the corner. She was laughing. Wait, no, y'all didn't see. So when we got to the club, right, when we got to rain after a strip party, Loyon and two of the girls, they jumped in another Uber, right? So we waiting outside for them. More points?

So look, hold on. No, no, no. Listen, we waiting outside for them to pull up, right? It's a fucking, it's not an SUV, right? Loyon is in the back with the two chicks, and the passenger seat is open. So when the call pulled up, I'm like, yo, Loyon was sitting on the door hand. handle like inside. I'm like, Yo, Loyal, why are you in just

sit in the front, bro? He looked at me as like, oh, come on, man. I was like, I said, what you mean? Come on. I said, fam,

you had to sit right next in the back seat? Moore, all right. Hear me out. We've all been... And Loyal's not a small guy. Not at all. No.

So for him to squeeze in the back seat was kind of... Imagine that car. All I saw was back on the window. I'm like, yo, why he ain't just sitting

the front seat is wide open. Nothing. Nice car. BMW. I mean, he's his front seat. You know what time it was. He looked at him. He's like, come on, man.

I'm still out. You know, that's how you give it up. Standing in a BMW is fucking hilarious. Bro, he was sitting on the door like this. I'll kid you not. All that's back on the car. I'll hear me up. Have you ever gotten, you know, had some rhythm with the chick.

It's going well. But you know, if you leave her sight, it's done. Yeah. It's over. You have to make sure the rhythm keeps going. You have to stay by her side or it's a dub. Listen, he wasn't even going to go in the passenger seat. He said, you're going to remember me.

I get. I get that, but in the same car. In the same car. In the same car. They're not, they wasn't riding in separate cars. No, I know. I'm saying he's taking that to the next level.

Yeah, come on, man. I get it. Listen, get it how you live. We went to Rain, had a good time. We probably should have went there. Instead of going to the stripper party, rain was nice, nice vibe. A lot of space for us in the section.

Had the girls, some of the girls that was at the stripper party with us came there. And there's some other girls that I think Aaron knew showed up. Okay. Good time. They even order his pizza because the girls was hungry. They ordered pizza for us.

I'm sure it was so good. Oh, man. London knows her pizza. At that hour. At rain. I think it was a Papa John. Honestly, it's probably better than the ones here.

And you were still recovering from eating real cheese at that point. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, no, no. We almost canceled the London show because Mall ate real cheese. Yeah.

One of them sandwiches that they said was vegan? Was not vegan. Nah, bro. I know, I know dairy when I feel dairy, bro. all ate cheese. Yo, you,

fan, my stomach start kicking. London cheese at that. I said, nah, that wasn't that wasn't that. That wasn't no vegan cheese, bro.

That was not no vegan. Why would you put dairy cheese on a vegan sandwich? Like, that don't even make sense. I'm sure if that's common, like vegetarian people do that. I was nervous,

but it was supposed to be a vegan spot, bro. What are you talking about? Oh. Why is that cheese in the building? Yeah, why is that even here? Why is that even here?

Why is that even in your stock room, sir? That shouldn't even be here. High rate of terrorism in London. Oh, my God. I spent a lot of that morning on the toilet. Just, it was, it was bad, bro. It was bad.

But I made it through. Made it through. Everything was good. Oh, banana. Well, yes. Julian and I made a judgment call because we knew the time we would take over there. So y'all didn't come to rain. And we was like, oh.

Y'amida, you turned back to the hotel. Of course. The hotel was right there. So convenient. We had a group, a solid group of fun people. Okay. Along with Loyon's camera guy. Okay.

Who didn't speak English. He was cool. No, he was very cool. name? Paul. Oh. Fan. It's Paul.

Get it together, don't. It's Paul. Did he take one photo? Cool. I didn't see him with a camera. Bro. I was like, yo, he's my camera.

He's my videographer. Does he have a camera? Where is his equipment? He's my man. What did you get Gary from? Shout out to Paul. He's from Romania. He's from Romania.

He's from Romania. He made it very clear that he's from. He's like Andrew Tate and I are from the same area. Oh, that's the name dropped. That's the name drop? The only thing he said. Okay, cool. So shout out to Romania, Paul.

But you know, anytime someone doesn't speak English and they're hanging out with you. You just feel like they're judging you. He spoke English, didn't he? He spoke a little English. Oh, so maybe he didn't speak and I just assumed. He was just very shy guy. Yeah, you're just Irish.

Well, he, I just felt like was giving judgment eyes the entire time. Well, he kind of was with him with reason. He was judging. He saw a lot of crazy shit. He was with us at the box. Oh, yeah. You could judge there. Yeah.

He saw us at the hotel. Okay. Definitely could judge there. For sure. All right. So tell me about this hotel escapade hotel party that you. you guys had. All right.

Well, we get into the hotel. The bar is closed. Okay, naturally. We had just missed the bar, I believe the bar closed it. I was fucking four in the morning. I thought it was, no, it was about 2 a.m.

No, when you live in life fast, you know, who's watching the clock? It was daylight savings time in America, so I got confused. Yeah, I get it. Before I was back in New York, I get it, yeah. That's what I was like, it's daylight savings. Like, sir, we don't do that yet.

But in America. You're not in America, sir. I'm an American. Do American things here. So we had the bar closed. We had two. bottles of wine, right? So I ran up to my room.

Yep. Okay. Grab some wine that I had. Okay. And, you know, it was an empty bar area. And we had done some BYLB situations down there when it was open before. And I felt like everyone was our friend. But this was, this was after hours.

Yeah. Everything is closed. You gentlemen should not have been in the bar area. We were in the bar area. We hung out like in the lounge. Yeah, it was like the lounge bar. Oh, right there. By the revolving door when you walk in.

Okay, okay. So. The lobby. Yeah. Where. We're trying to dress this up. Yes, we brought a bunch of people to the lobby, and then I brought alcohol down there,

and we figured why not just bring, I should have brought a beats pill and went crazy. You definitely would have got kicked out of that hotel. Then the security guard immediately came over and was like, you can't do this. Well, all he said is you can't drink down here because of the liquor licensing. We were like, okay, fine.

So Roy put the bottles under the table. It was like, cool, we'll just hang out. We weren't allowed to hang out. And I want everyone to be. be clear in starting the story. I have been working on my anger. You may not see it because I do it for funny purposes here. I've been working on my anger a lot. I'm a very Zen person these days. Even with things that annoy me, I don't have the rage. I was still, I think I was still suppressing some of the rage from the stripper party. That maybe it was bubbly. Oh yeah.

That's fair. But I've been a very, very zen person lately. Respectful. So when the guy said that, I was like, of course, and typically I wouldn't even get mad at that either. So we're just hanging. Right. I don't think we're being very loud. There's like five of us, six of us, maybe. Wasn't even that crazy. Okay. But y'all were making too much noise. We weren't literally making any noise. We were just sitting in the lobby trying to figure out our next movie? Are you sure?

Yes, we weren't. None of us were belligerently drunk. We were just sitting on the furniture thinking about what our next movie is. How could I be drunk? I didn't even get the alcohol I fucking paid for at the stripper party. And you couldn't drink the wine that you bought downstairs. Exactly. Okay. So what happened with security? Then the guy that does carpool karaoke came out in a fucking mustard sweater and a stupid blonde haircut.

Don't talk about Arthur like that. Was that the gentleman's name? He was the manager. Oh, he's the manager. And said, more or less, get the fuck out of here. Now, how did he say it, though? Get out of the lobby.

He was, like, sassy with it. How do you say it, though? Like, give me a... Julian, you tell this bar, and I can go from there, because I can't remember. I just remember going okay. And then it was that

didn't matter to me at all that I immediately just got up and was like, all right, cool. Okay. That's why this part doesn't, it's foggy to me, because I didn't care. He blacked out. Yeah, next thing I know, I was over him and my fist was bloody. And I said, don't fuck with me.

I know, I like, I swear everything went red. I told you not to fuck with me. See, this is why it's just good to just go to your room and just call it a fucking night, man. I want the footage from the hotel. Just call it a fucking night, man. You gotta know when enough is enough, man. You gotta know when enough is enough.

You gotta go home. Gotta go home. Seriously, at that point, we just got up and went. We were like, fuck it. All right, whatever. We'll just go to Rory's room. Okay. So we all are making away towards the elevator

and mustard stain came over. And he was like, yeah, I need to see all your keys. We were like, sorry, what? He was like, if you're staying here, I need to see everyone's keys before you can get in the elevator. We're like, well, why would we, that's not a thing that people do at hotels? Why would we need to do this all of a sudden? And he's like, I check it in with every single guest that stays here.

I look at all their keys before they get in the elevator. And as he's saying, I can promise you that nobody looked at my key entire time. I was there. I said to him, I said, I've been staying here for two nights. Not one person has asked me for my key card. And then he had a very condescending. Well, then that means you haven't stayed here for two nights because I ask everyone that comes in. And at that point, that's when like, you know, a little bit of the Red Ranger was,

I just like, don't fuck with me, man. I was very calm and, like, minding my business. I was very polite. Like, that's my thing now with my Zen shit. That anger still exists, but it gets triggered when people fuck with me when I'm not fucking with them. Okay. Like, when I'm minding my business, don't fuck with me.

Because I'll take it much further than you'll ever take it. I respect that. So, okay. Yeah. I heard you so. As you're saying this, there's a couple that literally walks behind us in a different elevator just goes in with three people. More than a couple.

It was like five other people. like, another group of people. Not a key was checked. No, they just walked in and went up. And Rory, Roy just checked. At this point,

we're in the elevator. Security is standing. There's two security guards. They're both standing in the door, not letting us close the door because they're blocking the sensor. And they won't let us out to talk to, uh,

the manager because they were afraid that we were going to beat him up. So we're yelling and like having a argument with this guy while he can't even see us. We're yelling from inside the elevator. He's on the outside of the elevator. He's around. on the corner. We can't even see him. We're going at them. And as it's happening, people are going up and down. One of the security guards was mad cool. He could not keep his straight face. He was dying laughing because his boss was being like a complete asshole.

He's a dick. So I was like, all right, so you really check every single key. And I can see the security guard's face, but the manager can't see his face. And he is trying not to start like dying laughing. Like, bro, we don't check everyone's key. They don't check keys. They just, they didn't think that y'all had, they didn't, they knew that y'all were going upstairs There's probably more than three or four y'all. Well, I, so I slipped through security, and then the guy kind of like grabs me because I wanted to get face-to-face with him.

At this point, I'm quiet because I know Julian has taken the reins at this point. You're hearing the little red power. Rory, Rory led, like with a lot of hugh out the gate, just like. Oh, no, Rory, listen, when they don't let Rory through the TSA line, I was fucking, it sounds like.

I would never live this down. Five years ago on your ass. I don't want to look like a bitch, so I match his energy. Yeah, I went off. So I get out. All of this is happening and I have no idea that this is going on. I just want to do a quick side note. Five years ago in Houston, Texas, I had a TSA precheck that they didn't let me in and they let Moll in.

And I was like, but I have TSA precheck. And for the rest of my life, I've not been able to live this down from all. Were you that fuming? What? I was not mad. He was 10 seconds away from my dad or have your ass rage. You know when the white boys get to that, my dad will have your ass. He was about 10 seconds from that.

I saw it. I was like, oh, he's almost over the edge. And then he caught. Then because the only thing that stopped it was that it literally was empty. The airport was not super packed. So we all got through around the same time. But if it was like a point where he didn't get through before we did, oh, it was my dad to have your ass time.

What was wrong with your precheck? They just didn't honor it at that. They just told him to go on a wrong line. And he was like, but I have precheck. And the lady was acting like she didn't care about that. Oh. And no, which was fine. But then Maul, who didn't have precheck behind me goes through precheck.

Listen, the lady. So Nashville was like, wait. That's reparations. It was a black TSA agent. I'm a white man. It was a black TSA agent. I can't be treated this way. He probably was just like let the brother through you, Irish lad, go over there.

Like, start from scratch. And to me, that felt like the biggest injustice in American history. Yeah. That's what I said. He was almost at my dad to have your ass anger. It was almost there. So, y'all finally. He was there with this incident. Oh, God.

I already know. But no, at that point, I was dead quiet. But Julian had taken the reins. He was... I went off. He was starting to maybe pick apart his outfit. I called him out for wearing the same dusty sweater he had the night before. So the night before, he was at the bar with us, all seven of us getting drunk and hanging out.

He also was very drunk. Oh, he was wasted. He was wasted on shift. So I see him, and I was like, bro, how are you going to come out? You're in the same exact same fucking outfit you wore yesterday to the bar and you were hanging out with us, drinking with us. And as soon as I said something about his outfit, he got so mad. And I don't know how to. He's like, I hate this uniform, too.

Julian didn't even know, no, no, no, no, no. Let me do the science for you. We do the science. He was in his own swag. Like, he put it together. He was the only one that wasn't in the hotel. Black, gray. Well, he was the only manager.

And on top of that, how do I say this politically correct? He was of the sexual orientation that may care a bit more about fashion. When you. Okay. when you critique their dress, especially if they've been wearing it for three days straight. I knew that shit would cut deep, so I kept laying into it.

And like the cold cuts were like seeping over the... Oh my God. It was just... Yeah, it was a lot. That's hilarious. Smell a little pastromish? Yeah. I don't get it.

How do they eventually let us up? What happened? Because I didn't... None of us really caught out. I don't know either. I had stayed in the... I blacked out at this point. Bro, you heard the fiddle.

They put me back in the elevator and I think who we were with, like, the people we were all. also with we're able to talk to him and get they were like you guys can't talk to me scared we'll talk so they went and talked and then 20 minutes later we were able to go up so we were in that elevator for like 40 minutes so then then we then we get up that sounds like a terrible night then we get up um we get upstairs we kick it whatever it's whatever everybody leaves yes that's exactly he looked just like that with the stomach and everything like arthur

I don't even know if he had glasses they wouldn't have been on his ears He The two security guards This is after everyone leaves at this point In my room With laptop I don't even have my beats pill

Watching watching a fucking Netflix thing Get a knock on the door It's the two security guards from before Yeah Like hey Can you keep the noise down Like you know I'm like yeah

It's whatever cool I don't mind Go back Lower my laptop Not even five minutes later Another knock I'm like What the fuck could this be?

There's fucking Arthur and the two security guards back in my fucking face. I'm like, yeah, they already came up here. Like, I turned the shit down. Like, I'm trying to go to sleep. All the lights is off. Like, I'm really trying to go to sleep. He said, I need to see in your room right now. How many people do you have in there?

At this point, I left. I was there for the first security check. I left after that one. Okay. So I'm like, there's no one in here. Like, no, you're not coming in my room. Like, at this point, the lights are off. trying to go to sleep. This is like harassment at this point.

Please leave me the fuck alone. Like, what more do you need? Like, there's been plenty of noise complaints. I'm like, I have a laptop playing right now. I turned it down again. I'm trying to go to sleep. Please leave me the fuck alone. Then he starts getting extra sassing. That's when I could tell he was really fucking drunk. He's like, I need to come in the room now and see who's in here. I'm like, you're not coming in my fucking room. He's like, this is my hotel. I'm allowed to come in. I said, I don't give a fuck.

You're not coming in my fucking room. Leave me alone. So I shut the door. Yeah, I will. and then he's like, I'm going to go get a key. And then the security guard knocks again. I open him like, what's up with your man? He comes back up in the elevator and is like, I'm coming in the room now. I said, all right, look, you want to see? Come to the door.

You see anyone in this fucking room? Because the rooms weren't big. He's like, I need to see in the bathroom right now. I'm like, all right, you're taking this way too fucking far. You're not going in my bathroom. Like, this is crazy at this point. He's like, I've been getting too many noise in place. And that's when...

My dad, I have your ass. That's when the Red Ranger, like, literally formed... The fiddle. The whole helmet came on and everything. And I said, all right, let's give him a fucking noise complaint then. And I got right in his face and started screaming really loud to the point that I backed him out of my room. And I said, are you trying to fuck me? Why do you keep trying to come in my fucking room?

Are you trying to fuck at this point? Like, this is fucking nuts. Leave me a fuck alone. I'm trying to go to sleep. Unless you're trying to give me some head, get the fuck out of here. Okay. Thank you, London. And then he had a great time.

And he turned around, and mind you, the security guard, I can still hear him laughing. And then he's like, all right, all right, stop, stop. And then the guy runs the little elevator, she's like, I'm calling the authorities. And I just went in my room and I went to sleep. Never heard from anyone else since then. Well, I had no idea all that has happened. We were staying in the same hotel. I know it was that bad.

A man coming to your room that much only has one thing on his mind. He's trying to fuck. Oh. Or, or, you know, I mean. You, he keeps coming to my fucking. All right. It's relax, Darius.

Tiberius said, suck the red out of that shit. Well, London, we love you. Thank you for the hospitality. Well, and I almost got to fight

the next night with Eddie. Oh, yeah. What do y'all be doing, bro? It's the shoes, bro. We were raging off the shoes. Like,

yo, all the blood was just circulating. It didn't know where to go. It's Ed and PG and I and two girls that we go to this bar. Just a bar,

just a local bar. And the door security guy, I'm first. I'm leading and the guy looks at me dead eyes and goes you can't come in This is the hotel? This is a bar near the hotel

Okay I was like why And he's like you're too drunk I was like I haven't had a single drink today I could not be more sober I was like actually You're too drunk I haven't had a single drink

Of the five of us here I was the one that had not in a drink yet At that point in the night That's true So I was like you know what fuck it Set it off and then I just went off Why not? Why not?

So I just went off on this guy I think he really didn't want to let Julian at that point. Yeah, he was like, we close it too. I was like, bro, it's like,

it's like, it's midnight. Well, the bar closes at 1.30. I was like, cool, it's midnight. I was just like, I went in on it

and then we ended up going in. And he was like, you know what? I'm going to be a nice guy today. He was like, you're lucky. I'm going to be nice. The fuck?

You're fucking. It was empty in there. The people that we were with had tried to explain to Julian. Y'all experienced London a whole lot different than I. I would say, I'm usually 90% of the time when it comes to that type of shit, usually in the wrong or overreacted.

This time was like legit harassment. I was really mad at my business this entire fucking time and wanted to be left alone. Well, they probably felt like it was too many people in the lobby. Oh, no, no. I kind of understood the first part. Yeah, he probably was a little ticked off from that and then. And then the sweater. Yeah, then y'all started talking about his outfit and all this other shit.

He was also just drunk. He was hammered. Oh, yeah. He was drunk as fuck. And bored. He was drunk and bored to say the least. So this was all Saturday? And horny.

This was FD. Apparently. I should have yelled, I'm not your type, sir. I'm scared to ask what y'all Sunday looked like on our day off. I don't know. I have nothing against gays. You're just not my type.

I'm sorry. Well, my Sunday was a lot calm. I just wouldn't have some great vegan cuisine. That's it. I went to Brixton. I went to Brixton, which reminds me a lot of Harlem. Just riding through there and walking around Brixton. So I went to Brixton, got something to eat, stopped by this black owner.

liquor store called the liquor club. Shout out to the liquor club. Just chop it up with the guys and learn all about the liquor business over there. And they're trying to like only house black-owned liquors. Obviously, they have other liquors as well as the more popular brands. But they want to focus on black-owned alcohol and liquors. So shout out to the liquor club in Brixton. I wish we had the rum that the gentleman gave us at the...

Yes. Remember the name of it? I was just about to say. Los Alos, I believe. Last Olas. Last or last. Really good rum. He brought us a few bottles to the show and hung out with us.

He's a really cool guy. I don't know if there was like some cinnamon. It tasted like Christmas. It was fucking amazing. The rum definitely got us to that point with the hotel incident. I had a sip. That was after for sure. I actually had a sip of that because we couldn't smoke in the venue.

So I had to see for that before we went on stage. It tastes good though. It's very good. It tastes really good. So shout out to them. But overall, London was great. can't wait to get back next time,

2023 for sure, God willing. Thank you to everybody that came out, supported. And there were a lot of celebs in town that Dave Chappelle

had to show the same night we did. Instead of going a stripper party, we could have went to Seoul House where Erica Badu was DJing

with Andre 3000. But no, we had to go. It was a madhouse outside. Oh, for sure. I didn't think we would even It was a fucking zoo outside.

We had drove past it. You couldn't even see in the block that it was on. Like, it was a zoo outside. Anybody that had a membership to Soul house were bringing all three of their pluses. Like it just was not, it wasn't going to happen.

Yeah, once I text Jane and say, hey, do you mind hitting your baby mother? And he was like, no. I was like, yeah, I'm not going to go. Yeah. It just was, it wasn't. It wasn't because we drove past because that was an option. But then once I saw that block, I was like, not happening, not fighting through all of that. Even the footage of Erica and Andre, like in the mix looked.

Yeah. It looks like probably the worst experience of shoulder to shoulder. I've ever seen in the soul house That block was packed You couldn't even see the door But the soul houses out there I went to two or three of them Are beautiful

I know they're all called a bunch of different shit But yeah They are very nice So yeah Shout out to London Shout out to the UK Shout out to everybody That came out show love

We will be back God willing in 2023 I'm going to back with you all this time Yeah look like I had mad fun Oh yeah You gotta come back I didn't like that Yeah you gotta come to London

We gotta get you to London Oh yeah, no, the hoes? No, the blokes. No, the mandam. Yeah. There's one dude. He stood up. I know he was on.

He had a chew. He stood up. He said, where's baby D? I say, your, fam. That might even be the first question during Q&A. I say, yo, fam, put, calm down. All right, fam? I know you ain't got no underwear

and then I'm sweats. Relax. I was screening questions, so they had to tell me what they were saying beforehand. And everyone that asked me that, I just told them, so we didn't have to have a million people asked that question. So he told me. some pump fake question and then I was like all right cool I gave him the microphone he gets up and does that where's baby D I say your fare I hope she's home sleeping but you got to relax but um

it was a great night though overall great night great experience very humbling thank you so much London we appreciate you all for coming out another sold out show another sold out show oh that's just propaganda yeah that's not real it wasn't really sold out it was sure there were 100 seats available oh you should call the venues yeah But get a fucking life. You fucking, holy shit. What a fucking loser. And you guys got a stand in an ovation.

I saw somebody posted that. That made me happy. Yeah, no, listen, the love that they showed, I'm telling you, that was so humbling. Somebody named their kid after me. Like, I'm purpose. Yeah, no, I asked them. No, no, no, I had the same reaction to Julie.

I was like, oh, like, you just liked the name Rory. And they were like, no, no, we named it after you. I was like, oh, you heard the name Rory for the first time. No, we named him after you. And he looks just like Rory too. Yeah, that was the other creepy part. I was like, well, that kid has no future. He's fucked by name.

Sorry about your son. He's born with a tattoo. Great night, though, overall. I'm mad we left when we did because Kendrick had two nights at the O2. I will say Nandoes, D.C. does it better. Think so? I know London invented Nandoes and I love Nandos. Shout out to...

I think it's because D. DC is people from DC cooking it. But maybe. That makes you make a good point there. Shout out to Eat of Eden and Brixton, vegan, vegan spot. The food was amazing. The ladies there were so hospitable. Great food.

I can't wait to get back and get some more of that food. The veggie patties was insane. I need some of that cornmeal porridge the next time I get back. Julian and I had some, that was French, right? That was really good, yeah. Yeah, Golden took us to some French restaurant. That was probably the best food that I had had at least while we were out there. Great.

We had a good time, man. We had a good time just walking around chilling, you know. Shout out to BBC Radio. Yes. One extra DJ Ace. Our interview is out this Sunday. This Sunday. They had to do a few edits about some of the comments about the Royal Family.

Rory couldn't wait to get those jokes off over there. He was practicing. You were screaming for Pierce Morgan in the elevator, though? No, I said, where's Pierce? No, you said, Where's Pierce? I said, somewhere lying. That's what I said. I wasn't screaming for him.

You asked me, and I said he's probably somewhere lying. I'm just happy most of my Royal Family jokes at the actual live show, bombs because I wanted them to bomb. Like, they didn't catch my taxi joke at all. That was a for you joke. Roy. No, that one, I held that one in. The silence made me feel so satisfied.

Especially because I wanted to be like, well, that crash and burned. But we had a great time. It was a really, really great experience. Is that a... Never mind. How do we forget, too? Chappelle was in London. We had to compete against Chappelle on the same night.

He did a few shows out in London. we were there. Of course we didn't get to catch him. Yeah, his show was the same night as I was, I believe, right? Yeah. Did he have more than one show? I think he had won the night before, but I'm not positive. But either way, he's doing SNL. So we'll still get to see him at least on TV. I mean, unless you got the NBC plug. No, I don't have the NBC plug. Shout to Dave Chappelle hosting S&L once again. This is third time hosting. Yeah. He's bringing Black Star with him as the musical guests. Which he's had Tribe. And what was the other musical guest?

last time. Tribe was right when Fife had died. I can't remember. Because he's always going to bring his musical guests type of shit. His friends. Well, I'm really excited. I think that's also great

to see Black Star on SNL. I got that's fine. That's amazing. And I love their album, No Fear of Time. Of course, they put it through a separate paywall so it wasn't on DSP. So I, of course, didn't get the attention it deserved.

but that album is phenomenal, so I can't wait to see them perform it. It was the Foo Fighters. Never mind. I take it back. He's only done it twice. Black Star and Tribe. You do not handpick them.

Well, I don't know. Maybe Dave's a big Food Fighters fan. Maybe. I like a few tunes from the Food Fighters. Legendary group. But what do we think? What do we think Dave's going to do with this one? Well, you know, with everything that's going on right now,

socially and, you know, I think that he's definitely going to, because he is Dave Spelel. That's what he does. does. He goes off for things that are currently going on and finds ways to address the seriousness in it and also find that little silver lining of laughter and humor and a lot of the shit that we deal with on a day-to-day basis socially in America. So that's why he's genius. He's a comedic genius because he takes real life situations and, you know, gives it to us in a way where it's like,

okay, humanizes us and it's like, all right, what are we really upset about right now? Are you going to watch live or is this a wake up and watch the clips type of situation? Or do you want to go watch it with a zillion of banks again? I might watch this one live. I might watch this one live. He's going to duck what I said. All right, cool. Dude, do you think he's not going to address anything I said?

The smokes off him, you know, with everyone with his, he was in the hot seat during all the transphobic comments. And now obviously a lot has happened since and he's kind of in the clear. Do you think he'll even address it's even worth bringing it out? I mean, he kind of did his part on that. Like double down? I don't want him to come out there. With the transphobic comments?

Yeah, but like, I don't, I think he did what he had to do with that. I mean, I think he kind of just made people look stupid that whoever felt like he was transphobic. And he has the Jewish comedy writers behind him, so he'll be right. Neil, he'll be fine. Neil's got his pen. Neil is not Jewish though. Oh, shit. Neil is Irish.

But either way, that's, he said that like that was. Neil Brennan sounds like a very. Jewish name. But Dave Chappelle is hosting SNL once again, third time. That's more than anyone, right? I don't think anyone,

but definitely of the big acts. Okay. Well, do acts that matter to us? Are you suggesting black comics? Yes, exactly. That's exactly what I'm suggesting. Black comics. No, I feel like Chris Rock has done it

more than three times, no? So, Alec Baldwin holds the record for the most time hosting. I'm going to stay away from that one. We said, black. Yeah. Oh, sorry. What's that part? Black.

Well, he named his daughter. his daughter, Ireland. There you have it. It all comes full circle. Neil, Ireland, Alec Baldwin. There you go. There you go. Keep in the family. You're a big Steve Martin fan.

Come on. I love Steve Martin. I do too. Love Steve Martin. Tom Hanks has hosted 10 times. God, I love Tom Hanks. So I said black. They don't even, they're not even on the list.

What is, what is the rock? Justin Timberlake's kind of, what is the Rock? Samo. He's, okay. He gives me racially ambiguous. I didn't know he was fully Samo. Charlie, Johansson, what's black?

What? What? She might be paler than me. And that's saying something. Oh, Justin Timberlake, he's black. That's what I said. See? I'm not being a part of any of these conversations.

Let me guess. Cherry Chase is black, too. What are y'all talking about? Either way, we're doing in. It's a great talent in Maryland. We'll be tuning in this weekend to watch Dave Chappelle as he hosts S&L once again. Well, Drake and 21, kept on their,

their press run, their fake press run at that. First of all, that was genius. Oh, I think it's incredible. That, that the fake interviews,

the deep fake interviews that they did, super, super genius. The tiny desk was super genius. I thought the colors version that they did. And then they did, that was an S&L one, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Felt like an S&L. Performance. And who, who introduced them again? Michael B. Jordan introduced them.

Okay. That would have been wild if Chappelle, it was Chappelle, Drake and 21 Savage. That's crazy. Because then you'd have Drake and Chappelle in the same sketches. Yeah.

And I think 21 is actually hilarious and would be great in S&L sketches. I mean, 21 would just have to stand in and just say pussy the whole time. And that's good enough. He would have killed that. Yeah. I mean, just the way he was on the intro to her loss of just Drake asking him to do weird things. That's a good friend, bro. Like, that's what I'm going to do?

As we were saying in the show, it's like Drake was the drunk friend leading the night and 21 was just in the past. She's like, all right, bro. Whatever, whatever I want to do. I guess this is what we're on tonight. We go on the next spot. All right, man. Speaking of Drake and 21, they dropped the album while we were in London, so we got a chance to listen to it while we were moving around London in the green room.

And 21's home city. And 21's homeland. And Drake, sort of. He visits London a lot. They know him out there. I think they do. I will say behind the scenes, I am going to snitch a little bit. A lot of dudes in London feel away about that Toronto slang.

Y'all be buddy-buddy in the public. I was like, oh, we're so much alike. There were so many dudes in London. Like, yeah, they just stole our whole shit. That was true. I don't, I'm, listen, I'm an American. I'm just over here. I have no idea.

I like just saying mansdom. I don't care. I started it. Yeah, it's a lot of, you know. Well, it's all Caribbean culture. It's all West Indian at the end of the end. Yeah. But the Drake 21 album, her loss.

We had a few days to live with it. It's projected to do $390K first week, which is absolutely. Yeah, that's crazy. Insane. How do we feel about it? Internet's going to hate it. I think it's a great album.

I think it has a shit ton of replay value. I think it's the perfect car album. Of course, there's one or two skips like Broke Boys, which is for women's captions. But I think this is an incredible album. I really do. I like the way Drake is rapping, rapping. I like, even if I disagree with how he shot

at certain people, I like that Drake is taking shots at everyone. I think 21 filled in the gaps perfectly. I thought the production was great. I even like some of the weird parts where it shouldn't be singing and it is. I love this album. The sequencing is great. The sequencing is great.

The production is great. Of course, you know, the lyrics are great if Drake is on, he's rapping. He's rapping his ass off. 21 even got off. You know, we talked about 21 earlier this year and on the run that he's having with his verses and features. I was kind of, you know, when we first got the news that this album was happening, it kind of like came out of nowhere.

I don't think any of us was expecting this, even though they do have a history of having really good songs together. We didn't think a full project was coming. So I was kind of nervous to know what it's, you know, hear what it was going to sound like, what it was going to feel like, you know, whatever, whatever. After living with it for about a week,

this album is really good. I think some of Drake's better songs in the last few years are on this album. I agree with you. I think that this album, I didn't think I would say this when I first heard this album might be better than what a time to be alive. I was going to ask you.

It hasn't been too long, but I came on here and I said, I think this is going to be better. At least personally, I think it'll be better for my ears. This might be a better album, man. It's not even close, man. Come on. I'm not. This is so much better than what a time to be alive. I'm with you, bro.

I'm with you. There's a much more longevity. There's not a single I want really big rings in my really big wing or someone ever the fuck you. No, there's, this. He's rapping on this shit. No, listen, he was getting this shit. middle of the ocean.

That's the one. Oh, man. I guess it's fuck me. It's a good mix of car records, club records. John, we love you, but back outside boys is hard. Yeah, no, that record is... Ma, are you my precious little twin? I can be.

Okay. Not kidding. I can't be about you. I'll spin about you, baby. You don't have... Hold on, don't on. It might have been a different... It was time difference at the time.

But I think you might have texted me a screenshot of a certain song. A certain verse right at midnight. I did. Which one was it? It was, hours and hours in silence. The end of hours and silence, I just knew me and Rory could relate to that shit.

Hold on. Before I agree, can we pull up the lyrics? I'll read it to you. And I want to know why you think I. See, now, after getting this album now, I really, really want this yolo out women, Ross, man. That's not the part of screen shot. Go up, go up.

You were lost until you found. You were lost until me. I didn't get no finder's feet. Oh, okay. You're acting like a bride to be. behind closed doors Slime in a engagement joke Yeah

Friends are all invites Is that why you sent it to me asshole? No Yeah Say it I could die Trying to turn you up There's three sides

To this story girl The one you sub-tweet The one your group chat Gets to read The one you come and tell To me I understand it finally I'm trying to give you highs

And you're planning our goodbyes But yet I turn you up I mean we've been there Come on now I feel like that That was a remix of Say What's Real When he said

I see my ex-girl chilling with my next girl churning. Drake has said of this version of these, of those lines in a thousand different ways. Oh, no, Drake is the king at recutting. He'd know how to re-rock. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, he re-rocked that dope and get sell it back to us.

He said, you don't work, but you at retired. You don't work, but you at retired. Soft life. This is what I want to be honest. It's my fault for once. I take accountability. I've never felt like a woman was lost until me. I'm not going to be honest.

And by the way, I never thought I found a girl. Yeah, no. I never felt like a woman was lost until me. IG found her way before me. Yeah, no, that I have never experienced that. And this is one of the better solved the album. You didn't feel that accountability. It's my fault for once I take accountability.

That's someone that never takes accountability says, you know, I finally take accountability. That's what you do. That's manipulation. Trying to turn you up. Why do I keep trying to, my friend said I'm going to end up fucking dying trying to turn you up, trying to make you better. Trying to make you that person. My friend, I'm draining. I'm about to fucking jump off a bridge because I'm trying to turn you up.

What's his name? You're in a penthouse. You got new a fucking attention. tire you ain't working but you're acting like you retire yeah get your shit off baby d yeah what's his name call them out call him face time him let him see that hair do you five that shit late that motherfucker laid the girl brings the red out baby do you know it's a break up the baby hairs is the baby hairs is laid the fuck down baby do you facetime that nigga right now he pulling up I'm letting you know first thing he's seen in the face time oh you got the red hair yeah you know it's how i have had red hair for three

months you know that's her alter ego right there that's when she's the phoenix um rising from the ashes Absolutely. Rise is high-relationship. Yeah, no, this album is really, really good, though, man. Really, really good. Did you feel the Habachi bar was specific about you? Maybe he was watching the podcast when we were talking about your mom's birthday. He did have a line about sprinters, too. He said that's wacky.

There was a lot of shooting him all. Oh, yeah. He said, you're putting bitches on a party bus. Yeah. I've never put a bitch on a party bus. Never in my life. I've never rented a party bus for a girl on her birthday. I've never taken a girl to Habachi for her birthday.

Can we get both of those things from my birthday in Atlanta? You want to do that? Sure. You ran a party bus and go to Hibachi? Absolutely. I'm with it. You can put up at Hibachi. Yeah, Drake was talking

big shit on this whole project. I don't know who pissed him off, who he's mad at, but he's mad at somebody. Obviously, the Drake with him and Kanye, I mean, the beef with him and Kanye is back on. I mean, the pissed off Drake is better.

You could call it sassy. You could call it unrelatable, but... What does Drake have to be pissed off about? CLB, I felt like he wasn't pissed off and uninspired. But let's talk about that. This feels like he's inspired.

I don't know if. it took 21 Savage. I don't know if like sometimes you feel better when you're with the crew. The homie. Even if that's what it takes. What is Drake pissed off about? What does he have to be pissed off about?

I hate you. It is. The dude in the mustard sweater, trying to tell him he can't go up to this. Oh. Yeah, who's his mustard sweater? And it wasn't a double tree because he shames those.

I just don't, it's just funny whenever you hear Drake is mad. It's like, what do you have to be mad about, sir? Well, you know rich people just have to like make up. Find things to be mad at. Yeah. You've watched mad men in succession. Drake was mad that the airport and the Hamptons didn't have the stairs to fit his jumbo jet.

Well, that's because Kanye said he wants to abolish steps. Yeah. That's why he's beefing with Kanye again. The funniest bar on this entire project is one I didn't see anyone talking about. Anytime you mention me as a hot topic, like where you take your girl shopping. Who takes their girl shopping at a hot topic? That had to be about someone specific. That's what I'm saying.

Drake just on here just throwing shots. Was that an Uzi shot? Playboy Cardi. He dresses like they go to Hot Topic. Uzi has not been in Hot Topic. Uzi has been seen laying on the floor in Chanel in the Chanel store. He is not shopping in Hot Topic. On diplomatic community, he references Hot Topic again.

He said Hot Topic like your everyday clothes. So he has beef with someone at Hot Topics. He has fishing Hot Topics. You think someone sold him the wrong shirt at Hot Topic ones. He just never forgot about it. I think he's mad that Hot Topic has some of his images on their shirts in there. He doesn't get paid for that, I guess. I don't know.

But either way, this album is really dope. I like it a lot. Like I said, I feel like it's better than what a time to be. And I like what a time to be a lot. But I feel like this is a better project. And I especially like it because it caught me by so I didn't think that this was happening. I didn't know that this was a thing until they announced it. But I'm happy they did it.

And this has to be up there for Alameda, I'm guessing. And I'm over the shaming bars. Shaming? Yeah, because we've talked about for a long time, Drake. shames hotels that are nice, certain cars, certain things. It's like, that's a nice, don't shame the double tree or the continental. Like, it's a solid hotel. At this point, like, I'm still going to eat, Abbottie.

You niggas go broke trying to, trying to think whatever Drake says, wacky if y'all want. This motherfucker is richer than rich. I love Hibachi. I will be there. Drake said he got to stop going Van Cleef the first week. Mothuckuckuck. He's rich, man. First week I'm just taking these hos chival.

the Van Cleef. Ooh. My hoes ain't cheating on you, Drake. I mean, listen, as someone that's, and they're going to say I'm just finding ways to compliment at this point, but somebody that's this rich and this accomplished, I expect CLB out of them because, like, what else is there to do? Yeah.

This is an inspired rich, has no idea what's really going on in the world because he's so rich and accomplished, made an album that I think is incredible. They just wanted to have fun and talk shit on the project, and that's exactly what they did, which is why I like it. They're just talking shit, having fun, talking about what. what they're doing. It's just like they're just diary of the year, everything they've done.

Would you talk to my pussy ex for me? Your pussy? I can't call your ex-pussy. I thought to start the album out that way, like what, maybe he was just checking to like see if 21 was really his bestie. Because that's a really crazy thing to ask of your best friend, your male best friend.

Talk to your pussy ex. Can you talk to my pussy ex for me? Calling your ex-girl pussy is crazy. Friend check, 21 was like, yeah, yeah, of course. I'll talk to her. I'll talk to your ops. while I'm at it. 21,

21 had some balls in this album and I, I had to look at the fucking, look at the speaker like, yo, I knew 21 was on a run and he was rapping his app, but he was really getting some shit off on this project.

He was talking real slick, man. And I don't know if that was just, you know, he hearing with Drake said, and he, I mean, obviously that's how I go still, sharp and still, but they had a lot of fun.

You can tell they had a lot of fun making this album. That time stamp record that everyone thought was Drake that ended up to be 21. I loved, I loved the fact that he gave 21. 21 the timestamp record because we obviously know that's what Drake is

notorious for. All right. Can I ask you all a question hypothetically? Let's say Drake and Cole did an album together. Let's just say that. I think 21 is a great rapper. But I think even he would say he's not the rapper rapper, the way that maybe a Cole is.

Is Drake ever giving a timestamp record to a Cole? Fuck no. Or a Kendrick. Fuck no. convenient who, and again, this is not me copping a plea. I've said plenty of times I think when 21 gets around the rappers, he raps really well. He's one of my favorite new rappers in this, you know,

non-wrapping part of the genre. Is he giving that to somebody else? No. No. You mean like a better rapper? Yeah. And what does that say? If you're going to give it away, give it away to somebody that...

We're not getting like a 2 a.m. That's going to compete the same way in that regard. Because, listen, I love what 21 did on this. Now he got a shit off. But is he giving that to a Cole? No. No, I don't think so. I don't think so.

Why not? Drake never even entering an arena with a Cole on a song where they both have to rap, rap rap. In this era, shit, they was rap. Yeah. In this era currently right now, Drake's not doing that. I don't see. I don't think that Drake is cool about.

You don't think Drake could keep up a cold right now? I don't think. But this was, I was ready. Do we hear Cole's feature? But this is what I was great to say, though, Rory. I'm seeing that a lot online. A lot of people still feel like, for whatever reason, that Drake don't really want to rap with the rappers. And I don't understand that because I'm like, I mean, Drake raps.

Like, he raps at a high level. I mean, it may not be as lyrical, as miracle as, you know, some people would want it to be. But if you listen to this album, he's rapping. Oh, no, I don't think those people are two separate points. I think people are saying, yes, Drake is rapping, rapping on this. No one can, well, some people can deny it because of the internet, but we're not denying that. When was the last time he rapped with the rappers? Been a while.

And he raps with a lot of people. Drake's not one of those people that just stays to himself. Haps on a lot of shit. And I know he has different, you know, purposes, if that's even a word. Yeah, there's different reasons why. That why he would hop on certain songs or do records with certain younger artists. Very calculated. But it's been a while.

since he's, I mean, we know he did the Benny shit, but it didn't come out. Who is he wrapped with? Well, I mean, I could be wrong. I'm just trying to run my memory. And when he wraps with the rappers, he doesn't. Like on CLB, Hove was on a, Drake was singing. If we could pull it up, maybe, I could be wrong.

I'm really just posing a question. On what, TLB? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Jack is a, I'm sorry. Jack is a rapper. Oh, my God. Yeah, Roy. I apologize, everyone.

White on white erasure. Oh, God, this is why I got banned. Churchill downs could have been a timestamp record if they just said like 445 at Churchill. Yeah, but I think the premise of the- But he's never done a feature time stand. Yeah, that's the premise of the timestamp is just one person gets their shit off. Yeah, I get it. But I'm just saying that's the, it's no hook.

It's just bar, it's just a loop or beat on a loop. Oh, wait, no, he's rap with Wayne. I'm sorry. He's wrapped rapper Wayne. Bebe King freestyle. He was rapping, rapping with Wayne. The shit with Nikki. He was rap with two rappers.

That's his camp. Drake can't just rap with everybody. But Wayne got off every time they've rap. Like Wayne is raping, rap and Drake keeps up. Drake is way too calculated, and he knows that it's the biggest of looks for the other rapper if he just starts rapping with whoever raps, quote unquote. But I say that to say, Drake is a rapper. He's one of the elite rappers. He can rap.

I don't know why at this point in his career, people still feel like he can't rap or he can't rap with these type of rappers. That's stupid to me. Drake can rap with any. He put anybody on the beat with Drake. Drake is going to shine. He's going to get his shit off. His verse is going to be hard. Is it going to be better than,

but you know, it's subjective. Who do you like? You like J. Cole? Okay, cool. Cole with Cole. I like Cole too. And I'm just saying,

we ain't going to walk away from a feeling like Drake's verse was whack. Here's what I'm saying. Like, I don't think that's going to happen no matter who he gets on the track with. But overall, her loss, dope project, dope album. I'm happy we got it.

It wasn't expecting. It came out of left field for me. I didn't have no idea what was happening. replay value in an era that doesn't have much. That's, I think, the most important part of this album has replay value. I feel like I want to throw this back on. You know, it has a lot of replay value, a lot of shit talking, a lot of slick talking, great production. A lot of asses will be shaking.

A lot of captions will be capped. Oh, I can't wait. Harmonizing about the major labels is hilarious to me too. All you hoes. All you hoes. They do need to know They talk to Slow the gang CEO

That was pretty good, Ma'all You know what I'm saying? He sang back up for Luther When me or Drake, I'll come out What y'all gonna do? Y'all think I'm still coming to hip-hop? I got me fucked up. Damn.

Just going to break off and go to that, man. I don't know. I spin about you, Rory. Spin about you. You know. Why does I feel like a pause? That's definitely a pause. Well, yes, if you haven't heard this album, go get it.

Yeah, if you've been in a coma for a week. 21, Drake, will do y'all favor. Please go purchase. Download, stream, her loss now, even though they're projected to sell 4 million records. Of all the fake roles that they were able to pull off, it seems like Vogue is the only one taking action against them, suing them for $4 million for their fake cover.

Well, he's had a lot of Vogue bars. He had to clean up one of his Vogue bars on this album. What is Vogue suing for $4 million for? Using their likeness. He's using their likeness. Yes. Can you pull up the Vogue?

They should be honored that Drake is using their likeness. Like, it's one of the biggest artists in the world. But you know that that world in that fashion. Like they look down on this type. But I'm just saying this is one of the biggest artists of his generation. Can I see the magazine cover? Or like what it was? Does it use their logo?

No, well, yeah. it has their classic print at the top. But it says Vogue. Oh, all right. Well, they may have a case, but that's corny to me. Yeah, I think it's corny too. And I don't think Vogue needs $4 million.

They're sewing up for that. Yeah, like, come on. Like, just come on, man. Let the artists have fun. We saw what the rollout was. The quote is hilarious. But you have to be political, 21 Savage. You have to be political.

If I'm Vogue, I'm praising this. Man, I really hope... If I'm Vogue, I'm printing limited copies of this and selling it. Like, that's a... This is an amazing fun opportunity. Yeah, because at that point, can Drake and 21 sue Vogue if they did that? Probably not, right?

No, they could. But they could? Yeah. Drake's Jewish. You can't sue Drake. I would really like to see the two of them do S&L not for the... I mean, of course, do the music shit, but the two of them doing sketches on S&L and hosting, I think, would be hilarious. 21-7 is funny what I was trying to be.

Drake has killed every time he's done SNL. I know 21 would shine in that shit. He would be so fucking funny on that show. The best piece of content. It's probably happening. The best piece of content from 21 is when they sent that vice nerd reporter to his hood. And 21 took him around. You know that one.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like two days in the hood with 21. It was the funniest. That was where it's a knife came from that. Yeah. There's so many great moments came from that. So they moved the Drake show at the Apollo, which was supposed to be on Friday. because of takeoff's funeral in Atlanta and moved it to December.

Two shows, do we think these will be Drake 21 or one Drake and then the other show, Drake 21? I don't know. I'm guessing he will bring out 21 to perform some of the songs. Yeah. But not like a full album, not a full, her loss concert. Because I do think Drake is, you know, he is the, obviously the, it's his. his show. But I do think they take those dates to give us some of the album.

But obviously they're going to go on tour. Drake already alluded to it. So this will probably be like a little sample. But I do think that Drake will focus on maybe some of his B sides, maybe some of his early stuff with these Apollo shows. I think using this Apollo show should be the blueprint for him in 21's tour. Like, of course they can do arenas. We know that.

But it would be cool for them to do like Terminal 5 size venues. or maybe even smaller shit and like do two, three nights both of them don't need the money. Like just to do some cool shit in certain markets. You think he's given him the same set list for these two shows

or is you switching it up? I think he'll switch it up. That's what I think too. I definitely do. But I mean, you went to his private party in New York for the release. Did he mention anything? Oh, this?

Yeah. No, it was. I think we were in London. No, you flew back. And then you did. Oh, I did. You were like, you got to go after the show.

Because with the time difference, he was able to do. Yeah, yeah, I got right on the jet and just came back and then came back to London just to do the show, yeah. No, that's exactly what I did. Did you let a girl use your name on the list since you weren't there? Yeah, yo, just go and tell them malls out of town. It's all good. Tell them I'll spin about you. It's all good. Did I ever tell you all about the time I did that with Rory and, like, couldn't get in?

Where was this? No, because you're not white and Irish. She's a redhead, though, so she thought she. Exactly. The Hottie Party. The Hottie Party. The hottie party. Which was not a party. What made me throwing at the door at the hottie party?

I'm with Rory I'm with talking to a hoddy party I see nothing wrong with going to a hoddy party Rory was like I'm going to go And then I got there Megan's party Back when she was throwing

The hottie parties In like New York and L.A. Okay yeah yeah I remember Meg the study I was like I'm gonna meet you down there And then didn't meet me down there He's like just use my name

I said Rory Farrell they said who I said you know it I'm just gonna go to fuck home Damn damn The hotties don't even know you Might have been Jack at the door You see what happened Look at the Hivus

Jack was running the door Everybody who's anybody was there Everybody was so fucking in there Which venue was it at her I heard Doja's titty. I was at some, it was like a Chinese restaurant kind of thing. I don't even remember this.

Downtown. Town? No, it wasn't town. I can't remember. It was like a small, small, like low-key venue. Oh, okay. I wouldn't have sent you there if I wasn't confident.

So, no, you sent her there. I don't know. All you hoes. All of you hoes. You talking to the slaughter gang CEO. They don't know you at the door, so you got to go. That's true. They don't know me.

Justin Bieber will be performing at takeoff's funeral services this weekend in Atlanta, Friday at the State Farm Arena. I would love to know the set list. Well, they have a record together from Migos, the Culture Three. Yeah. We're in Atlanta this weekend as well for our show Sunday. Right? Sunday, right? The show?

Sunday, yes. Sunday at the – what's the name of the – Center stage? Center stage, I'm sorry. We're in Atlanta this Sunday at Center Stage. Sunday at 10th State, Jess. My birthday.

Happy birthday, Julian. And takeoff funeral is Friday. Again, rest and peace to take off prayers and condoluses continue prayers and condolences to his

friends and family. Still can't believe that. Still can't believe we lost takeoff like that, man. That's beyond tragedy. But hopefully, you know,

it's a beautiful homegoing service. I'm pretty sure there will be other people performing. as well as Justin Bieber. I think that Justin Bieber is probably the one that they probably got clearance to announce first. But yeah, it's just a sad time, but hopefully it's a beautiful homegoing service, a beautiful celebration of life, beautiful celebration of a talented, bright star, bright young star in our culture. But most importantly, hopefully it's a lesson and a lesson of us, you know, loving each other and supporting each other and not being so aggressive.

with each other in our culture, which is something that we seem to be doing way too often. Every other month, every few weeks, it seems like we're losing somebody due to just a violent, violent energy that is hovering over our culture. And, you know, this culture has always been violent. It's always been, you know, violence in our culture. But it seems to be just a little more senseless and just, you know, it's just too many, too many lives we're losing. We just P&B rock not even two, three months ago, you know, back here would take off now. And it's just a sad, sad state of affairs and sad time for us. But let's celebrate life.

Let's celebrate love. Let's celebrate unity. And let's have fun. Celebrate a legend's life. Celebrate a legend's life. Absolutely. Absolute legend in our culture at only 28 years old. It seems like it was a story before we left.

And now that we're back from London. It's still a story. the Kyrie Irving, NBA. Superstar. Yeah, superstar, Kyrie Irvin. So, Kyrie Irvin was given a list of chores. Homework. He was given homework.

He had to do before being able to return to basketball. Excuse me. And when we saw the list and it came out, I immediately said, I said, okay, this is either they are doing this because they know he's not going to do this and they don't want him to play in the NBA anymore. Or they're trying to force him. into doing this because he still really wants to play. Yeah. And he will do this. So now some time has passed.

He had a meeting with Commissioner Silver, I think yesterday or the day before, hearing that the meeting went well, it was productive. I don't know where they stand on the list of things and the demands that they had for him. He was asked to apologize and condemn the film he promoted. He was told to make a $500,000 donation to anti-hate causes. He had to complete sensitivity. training, complete anti-Semitism training, meet with the ADL and Jewish leaders, meet with team owner Joe Syde to demonstrate an understanding of the situation.

Now, Jalen Brown, who was the vice president of the National Basketball Players Association, said that the union has issues with the requirements outlined for Kyrie's reinstatement, and I think that they were going to appeal those guidelines that the NBA had put into play. So this is obviously something that is going to go on for, I guess, the foreseeable future. But he can't play until anything's resolved, right? Right. He has to, whatever, both sides have to agree on, you know, if he's done enough, if he's apologized to their liking, so on and so forth. I just think it's unfortunate because, you know, wow, we've seen Kyrie and things that he's done over the years with his charity work. He donated money to the WNBA players. You know, he's done countless things in the community in New Jersey.

Very specific donations. I like that type of stuff when rich people, instead of just like, hey, here's a bunch of money as a tax article. He finds specific things that he's passionate about that he knows need the money may get overlooked when it comes to charity. Again, I don't like to use that word, but, you know, giving donations to organizations that need it. So he's been.

been, in my opinion, one of the best examples of an NBA player donating. He's not a hateful person. He's not a racist. He's not any of these things that the media is trying to portray him as. Did he repost something, a documentary that may have had some hurtful rhetoric and hurtful information in it? Sure. Some false from what I have not watched it. I have not seen it.

And that's another thing. I'm pretty sure half of the people that have something to say about Kyrie right now didn't see it. So that's another thing. Everybody's just calling him, you know, whatever name. names and it's like they didn't even see the documentary um you know i think it is with kairi in the things that he's spoken out about outside of basketball and press conferences saying down to like flat earth theories and other to kairi goes down the wrong youtube rabbit holes a lot and then takes it to a press conference that's really what i don't think kari is a hateful person yeah don't think he's

anti-semitic yeah i think he's one of those people that goes down youtube rabbit holes and like the rest of us sometimes when it's 3 a.m. And we're watching some shit. And there's no other side that's combating what we're watching. Go, damn, I wonder if that's true. Yeah. And then you know, you then say it to your friends. Then you say it at a party.

And it just becomes part of your opinion because you went down. You don't even know the YouTube account you watched or what their background is. It's just, oh, I watched this and this seemed interesting. And then he gets on platforms that the rest of us don't have where we would spew some of these theories. and it wouldn't matter, and says them in a fucking NBA press conference or on his Twitter with 2 billion followers. That's, Kyrie is like the rest of us 3 a.m. YouTubers. He just shouldn't do it on these platforms. Yeah, he, again, he reposted a documentary that he watched that he felt like, you know, he just wanted, I guess people that follow him to watch and take what they take from it and give their thoughts on it, whatever.

Does that mean he's a hateful person? Does that mean he's a racist? doesn't mean anti-Semitic, all of these things that people are trying to now push on Kyrie. I think that's unfair. I don't think that's Kyrie Irving at all. His past will tell you that. I'm talking about everything away from the court, things that he's done over the years, people that know him personally. So many people have so many great things to say about Kyrie's character and personality away from the court.

Again, like you said, he made some claims and things he said in the media before that were kind of like, eh, not really. But does that mean he's a bad person? No, I think that's unfair to put that on them. I think some of these demands are a little harsh. We didn't demand the same from Brett Farr when he stole money. Still not. It's getting worse and worse. No one seems to be reporting on that shit.

I mean, you know, he didn't lose any endorsements. Now, Knight gave him more jeans. Yeah, they gave him more denim. More budgets. Yeah. More charitable donations. Yeah, it's like, you know, we got to, if you're going to set a standard of what athletes and players and people can do, we have to be fair all across the board.

And obviously it is not fair all across the board. We know that because we see it every day. So, yeah, I don't think that Kyrie is going to give in to those demands. I think that Kyrie Irvin, the type of person, he is the type of, he didn't back down from the whole vaccination thing and people thought he was crazy and thought that he was, you know, people called him all kind of names about that. And now people that refuse the vaccine and that were fired has now being told that they can now, they're now owed back money.

they have to be giving their jobs back and things like that that are now moving into play that we're seeing because they didn't give in to the vaccination demands. So this is obviously somebody that has their own beliefs. Well, Nike also severed ties completely with him.

It appears, I don't know if that's a fact yet. Again, you know, you severatized with him for reposting it. He never even said nothing. He just reposted the documentary. He never said anything. Just reposted a link to the documentary that he watched.

Well, I mean, I'm indifferent in that because we all know what that means. Of course, you can do the lawyer thing of like he never agreed with it or promoted it. He just put it on it. We know how Twitter works. We know if you post something. Even if you want to say he promoted it. Even if you want to say he promoted it. That's fine. But my thing is, a lot of the people that are jumping at Kyrie, they don't even know what's in the documentary. They've never seen it. They didn't watch it. I still haven't watched it. You know, and the thing, what about Jeff Bezos

and the Amazon platform? Because that's where it's at. They aren't like, they aren't anti-semitic for housing this documentary. Adam Silver got an Amazon package today. Yeah. I just don't, it's just not, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's just too many inconsistencies here. And you want to, you know. I just got some Nike sneakers via Amazon. Yeah.

So, um, it's just, it's just, no one wants to go down that, these are, these are, you know, the way they're trying to paint Kyrie, it just isn't fair. Um, and I do think that Kyrie Irvin, if he, if they, if they, the NBA doesn't move on these demands and these list of things that he has to do, I do see Kyrie Irvin retiring from basketball. I don't think that he will, this is a guy who clearly stands his ground.

Yeah, which I respect. Which I respect. You know, whether you like it or not, you got to respect it. He stands his ground and, again, we'll have to see what comes of it all. I don't like the fact that a lot of players are, you know, talking about.

I didn't like what Shaq had to say about Kyrie. I didn't like what Charles Barkley had to say about him. You know, it's just, you know, again, you can say that you don't agree with some of the things in the document. If you saw it, say you didn't see it. Say you don't, you know, I don't know what's in the documentary. I never heard of it until they started talking. I never heard of it until Kyrie, we posted it and people started talking about it. They didn't know nothing about the documentary.

Charlie has been sitting on Amazon for however long it's been there. But that's how, and this isn't specific to that group of people, how media works is. if you don't condemn something, even if you haven't seen it, you can't even say you haven't seen it. You have to condemn it no matter what because that's what... Like, come on, that's just stupid, man. And that's with everything, not specific to this.

Yeah, that's just stupid. You know, but again, we'll have to wait and see what comes of it. We'll have to wait and see if Kyrie Irvin has played his last game in NBA. I'm curious where this is going to put the NBA and Nike and a lot of other platforms.

Because when you make a decision like this, more things are going to come out that are on, a different type of social justice or other incidents are going to happen, players are going to say certain things. You have now made this stance that you don't fuck with this type of rhetoric or hate speech

or anything like that. So now it's time to go through everything y'all allowed. Let's get into China. Let's get into all this other shit. Now you're putting this shit out. Let's go through every single athlete that Nike has promoted. And what the fuck they've done in their private lives or what they've said in

interviews. And again, none of you people that endorse and sponsor, Brett Farf, have cut ties with them. Right. Stole all these millions of dollars from welfare recipients. And we still haven't heard about any of these companies severing ties with Brett Farb. So again, it is what it is.

We know what it is. We see it. We've seen it. This isn't the first or last time that we will see it. And, you know, again, we'll just have to wait and see what comes of it. And if Kyrie Irvin played his last game as a national basketball player or not. either way it is what it is
