Episode Date: July 15, 2025

Rory and Mal stamp Clipse's "Let God Sort 'Em Out" one of the best albums of the year...even if there is one thing Mal would change (14:40). Rory has high praise for Justin Bieber's latest project "Swag" despite having one of the worst album names of all-time (35:30). Mal had FOMO watching Drake pull out all the stops for Wireless Fest (43:45).

Plus, that really was Klay Thompson in the background of Megan Thee Stallion's IG post (1:20:30), Bleacher Report's 100 Greatest NBA Players list lost their minds leaving Kobe out the Top 10 (1:25:35), and our voicemail sparks the "Who is allowed to say the 'n word' and when?" debate.

So we can all agree that anyone keeps their phone on loud as a serial killer, right?

And you know who's even scarier? The people that have that light notification? Oh, my God. They belong in prison. And not like just county jail. you need to go upstate and think about what you've done to society. How do you even do that? Put that little light notification anytime you get a fucking text.

I don't know. The silent or ring, that's all I know. My phone is always on silent. And the people that belong in like Guantanamo Bay are the ones that insist on being on the auxiliary cord but not having their phone on site. Oh my God. And they think it's fine. I've noticed every person that does that has no issue with it. Like you don't hear that.

And when you get a text, you can hear it. You can't, like the music kind of goes out for a second and they have no issue with it. That shit. It makes me irrationally angry. I just don't even understand the thought process of why you would think that was okay to begin with. Go on time with Bay. Put them there. And it's never an important, niggas for real.

What else will they do? If they'll do that, what else will they do? You don't hit baby D. Get that shit off, though. It's never an important, like people who have they known phone notifications on. They're never important. They don't do shit real. Like there's nothing that required, like you literally work a nine to five.

they don't need you outside of the nine to the five. Like it's no work notifications. You don't have any kids. Like literally. They wear the messenger had with the Bluetooth. Yeah, it's like you got fucking IG notifications lighting up, turning off the fucking Bluetooth.

That shit gets me tight, bro. No, they're serial killers. Yeah, I don't need to be alerted that much. Like, I don't need to be alerted every time somebody mentions me on social media.

That's sick. That's weird to me, yeah. I don't need that coming directly to my phone. I don't get, if you have two followers, I don't think you need. I just don't need that. That's just weird.

And then just have a flash. Yeah. The flash. You ever have ever slept with a chick? Just the side of the bed, just lighten the fuck up. Yeah. Sick. Yeah.

You need two cars for her. When you're in cars and you see the light flash, I'm ducking around thinking it's the cops because I'm high. I don't like, see, I just don't like shit. Maybe they start cracking the windows. Yeah. Come on, bro. Maybe these was hot boxes. She got cracked the windows.

It's how somebody get on her. With that said, we are back sponsored by Boost. Happy Top of the Week to everybody. Eventful weekend. I feel like there is a lot to cover, but how was everyone's... Weekend? Yeah, it was everyone's, you know, time off. So Maris is in the streets.

Right at the-Rex is always in the streets, man. But it was good streets this time. It's always good streets. Yeah, but keeps you all the streets is better. We've seen you in some shaky streets. There's been some crack in the paint. Some dirt roads. Yeah. I've seen you.

you with some streets. I'm like, yo, why she did? Definitely the road. Let's travel. What's your marriage doing over there? The marriage was in the streets this weekend? I mean, I went to a Keisha Coast. Yo, am I still in your close friends? Because I don't know. I ain't see that green ring light up all weekend. I don't know. And I know you've been doing close friends shit. I've been at Keisha. Keechakot concert is not close friendship.

No, but there's definitely like a moment. But if you're crying at the Kish Cold concert, that's close. Crying at the Kish Cold concert. You cried at Gunner's concert. He was fresh home. He made it. I don't care. That nigga was like two months. What's that got to do with you crying? You're acting like Gunner was Nelson Mandela. Like, what's who crying for?

She went and visited the cell? Yeah. She went to Atlanta. You, you know, you cried because Gunna came home. You're funny crazy. Anyway. And then she thought, he just came home. What does that mean?

He looked better. He came home. He looks great. He had a great time. Yeah. Anyway, no, I did not cry at Keisha. What I will say is that Keisha did a great job. I'll get to that.

But Lil Kim been outperforming you, bitches, for a very long time. She puts on such a show, does not forget a lyric. She's so entertaining. There's so much personality. I love seeing Lil Kim perform. Outside of just her discography being fucking insane. Like the catalog is crazy, but it's like the performance.

I'm always so good. You know that's big. He's like protege. It's like she came up under the ground. I'm not surprised. I'm just saying every time. It's a hit every time. Jada Kis also came out at the Keisha Cole show, did his thing.

I was wonderful to see. I had a good time. What was the, well, not the set list per se, but the set order. Like did Keisha, she was the headliner? She ended everything?

She was the headliner. Yes. I missed the, so she had Tink. She had Elijah Blake. She had A. Marie. I missed all of them. I got there at.

A. Marie been shutting y'all up. She been sounding better. Yeah. She met him when people were saying. She been seeing all these little videos. She sounded better. She had been out of the lab for a while. Sometimes you got to get back into the swing of things.

It happens. So you were late? Was just like a clothing situation, traffic? No, I went, I went over to Lavender Room in Brooklyn. I was having some Wings and some hookah and hennie pomegranate drinks. Lost track of time. Wings, hookah, and henny before concert? In a spot called Lavender.

Lavender Room. Shout out to them. But yeah, it was good. I wanted some good food. Which I wanted me to go straight to Barclays and eat chicken tenders and fucking pay $38 for a drink like I did. Like, no, I mean, yeah, I feel you on that. But I just, just going like to a bar, I'm assuming that's what lavender room is. It's a lounge, lounge restaurant.

Going to a lounge before a concert is just, I don't know. It's a restaurant, though. So we had appetizers. Me and my friend Allison, we had appetizers. We had hookah, a drink. And then we went to another spot. We had more appetizers, a salad, another drink. And then we went to last lap, had another drink.

And then we went to the concert. Before before the. before the concert? Wasn't the concert in Brooklyn? Yeah. You went from Brooklyn to the city back to... Oh, yeah. All right.

No, my, she was in the streets. Yeah, you went to... That kind of... You made a congestion toll to go to last lap. Hold on. Say it all of that and then ending it with... And then I went to the Keisha Cole concert. What time was you outside?

9 a.m. on a Saturday. No. We actually... We left out my reservation for lavender room was at 5 p.m. So 5 p.m. We had... Like I said, Abbasizers' drinks, headed over to the city.

Went to Dudleys where I get my... Girl dinner, you know, Caesar salad, truffle fries, calamari, espresso martini. I see why you was late. I get why you miss Patery. She was gassy. Yeah, she was on a tour.

She was on tour. She went to fucking four spots. I had somebody from out of town. They wanted to see my usual. Like, that's usually how me and Alex move around. So I showed them our spots. Lavender Room, Dudleys, and Last Lap is where I go when it comes to. Was this on the Outtowners?

So if you're ever thinking about running into Baby D. You just need to go to Lavender Room, Dudley's. Or Last Lap. That's my Matt. That's my Matt. pick up the tab, buy her a drink, you know. That's why she did the whole tour because it was on somebody else's bill. If it's on someone else's bill, I'm going 10 spots too.

Who said it was somebody else's bill? You just made that up? I know I just made it up. Oh, yeah. No, I had Allison with me. We were outside. We ran around. But Keisha was amazing, the standpoint.

Kisha was amazing. She did good. I know it was the 20th anniversary of the way it is, her first album. But I wanted to hear other. I mean, she played a couple other songs, but Keisha has such an underrated catalog. I just, I wanted more. Her set was only like 50 minutes, and then she had a Jada kiss set in the middle of her set that was like 10, 15 minutes. So 45 minutes of Keisha wasn't enough for me, but I really enjoyed myself.

What about you, Roy, where you at? I was chilling. I didn't. I was just me tomorrow kicking it. Yeah, that's really it. But you bring Amara everywhere with you, so. Yeah, but I mean, I-in-the-street-the-street-of-morrow. I took her the rock nation office.

Okay, yeah, that's in the streets. You didn't know, did. Is that in the streets? Yeah, the Rock Nation office? Yeah, that's in the streets. On a Friday, yeah, I guess. Yeah, that's the street. You know they opened up the roof shop.

She stole an eclipse record player. Yeah, there you go. But wasn't it the new barbecue? Yeah, and I'm not going. Okay. On Saturday morning, I could already tell. Taking that two-hour drive down to Camden wasn't really what I was scared about. It was that two-hour drive backward.

I was like, nah. And then one other person that was going to come with me, he couldn't come. And I would have needed the help. Yeah. That would have been too much. And then I saw all the video and I was like, good call. Yeah. No, I told you when you talked about the brickman, I was like.

The difference between last year and this year, we crossed a whole bunch of lines. So you got to think like 40 new noops that are 20 years old and the network of people that they bring. Last year, that was the O-Head barbecue. Like, it was calm and chill. I'm happy. It looked beautiful. Don't get me wrong. It was right.

What's the bridge between Camden and Philly, the Benjamin, whatever that beautiful bridge is. It was right under that. It looked amazing. Okay. But yeah, it... You decided not to go. Yeah, if that would have been a little closer, maybe, that two-hour drive back, I can see what type of time tomorrow was on to. Yeah.

Your dad brain kicked in. Yeah, 100%. But now, we should. Just do some outdoor activities, a little swimming. Yeah. Nothing crazy. No coughs around the Rock Nation office about why Beyonce and Jay Z fucking hate us and why Jay keeps coming out at random places like Paris or Atlanta. What are you supposed to pop up here?

Yeah. Oh, you're saying why Jay didn't pop up? pop up when they were at like MetLife. Yes. Okay, I thought you meant specifically us in this room. I was like, speak for yourself. I don't think they hate me. Yeah, no. Well, I mean, yeah, come on. Paris Fashion Week was at that time. Hove definitely has an album coming. He got a new chain and he did PSA. Yeah, no, for sure. But Atlanta? He's not recording. When MetLife happened, Hove didn't have any new records. He probably got about three and a half right now. And it's like, you know what? I think it's time. I don't think

Jay is inspired right now. He's not doing because a legacy act like Jaycee, what is putting out an album right for people to forget about it in three days? Like as quick as people move on from albums now, what would a Jay Z album do right now? I don't think people moved on for 444 in three days. How many years ago was 444? I don't think anyone's forgot about it.

How many years ago was 444? 2016, right? It's almost 10 years ago. Holy shit. People's attention spans have changed. Well, I'm saying people still bring up 444. So I guess I would kind of go against the point. No, because it's Jay-Z.

You're going to bring up a Jay-Z album. What I'm saying is, I think in 2025, 2026, I just think artists like Jay-Z, maybe even Nas. Like, I just don't think that they, Nause is probably more inspired than Jay-Z to make music right now. I mean, I think that goes about saying. Jay is doing too much based off the volume.

Yeah, it's like, you know, it's the only time you're going to see jazz if he's with the family, with his wife on tour, like the whole family is like moving around the world. together. I'm not saying that a Jay-Z album is coming out per se. I just think because he's like the stay-at-home dad on this tour. Like he's watching the kids while Beyonce's working. Yeah. He's chilling. I think he's had like some dad hobbies, the way you and I may learn how to build a grill or do some

shit. I think Hove is sitting there. Stay at home. The kids are on stage. That's true. He's not working. Get your lazy ass. He's starting to feel inferior as a dad. And so his kids bustling their ass on stage. And he was like, you know what? Let me do PSA. Yeah, yeah, I might as well go out here. Go out here, dude, I'm giving him a little tune. Yeah. But I don't think, as far as new music, I don't think. I think Hove is in that sweet teaching himself pro tools, hitting Spacebar.

And I think he has a few records, just on some dad hobby shit. So he bought a new chain. You know, I had to go remind himself that what PSA is. Yeah, I just think he's going through dad shit. He just goes through dad shit in the Netherlands with Beyonce while the rest of us are home doing it. Yeah. That's his version of it. I mean, I'm not against the new JZ album.

I just don't believe that it's happening anytime soon. I don't think so. I believe it exists. I don't believe it's ever coming. I don't know. 10 whole albums that exist that we have to happen. Oh, no, you guys music recorded, but an album, I don't think the album is coming anytime soon.

Well, I mean, I guess that's a good segue into this weekend of music, which was one of the better Fridays of the entire year. I just want to start with that. Great weekend for music. The clips being, I would say, a legacy act. Both of those gentlemen will push is what, 48, 49? Malice is in his 50s. These are two older gentlemen where I feel like this album is not going to go away in three days.

I think they had one of the better rollouts. It was a rollout that took a month and a half, which we haven't seen in quite some time. And I know we're only at Monday the 14th and it came out Friday, but I don't think this album is going away next week. I think this will be a staple of the remainder of the year as far as constantly talked about. It'll sound even better in the fall. Yeah. I don't think this album's going anywhere. I think that, well, first of all,

congrats to the clips of putting out a... Incredible. Oh, I missed rap so fucking much. Congrats to the clips on that. Finally, we can use the word refreshing and actually mean it. It's good to see them apply old school moves to the new generation. Like, their rollout is such a, you know, you can tell that they came up in a different time.

Yeah. So it's good to see that. It's good to see people react to the album the way they did into the music. That promotion has to do with actually touching the people. Yeah. And going on a promo run for real. Remember that word promo run? Like you actually have to use to go to

different cities and do different publications and actually be there. Yeah. Work. You had to work. Yeah. They did that. And it's good to see, you know, people always give me shit when I say, you know, an artist needs to lock in with one producer. But this is what happens when you lock in with one producer

for your fucking entire career. You're able to always go back to that fade away move that nobody can't stop. Yeah. And this is what the clips and Farrell have done. You know, somebody like me, a little older than everybody else in the room, but I came up in the time where, you know, the clips was, you know, I was, I spent some time going down 95 South to King's Dominion for Black College Week.

And so, you know, clips to me is a different, it's a certain space that they hold in my, in my, you know, my taste for rap and hip hop. But this album, I liked it. I like that. I don't, I don't, the only thing I didn't like was, uh, you know, I don't, I don't, the only thing I didn't like was, I didn't like them opening the album with such an emotional record. Why? I didn't go right into chains and whips.

Like, Nick, I'm still crying. I can't hear chains and whips. Like, you can't, don't give me chains and whips after saying you found your mom dead and your father dead. Like, don't give me that. I'm still in there trying to pull my shit together. You know what I'm saying? I text, Amara, at maybe like 1.30 a.m. on Thursday going into Friday.

And I said, did birds don't sing make you cry yet? Like, because I couldn't get past the record. even though we had talked about it prior, like that song they did when they walked on one of the LV shows. So I've been listening to it. But when you hear it like in full CDQ version, like, it was tough. It was tough to get past that in a great way. Yeah, like I can't, you can't take me from that to chains and whips. Like I just, I just think the sequence in was just a little like, you know, that much of an emotional record should be for later on and now.

See, that's why I kind of like the move because, yes, it feels like an outro or it feels like maybe a break in the middle. for a switch up. Yeah, somewhere in the middle or towards the end. I don't know, like, not to get, like, too corning, but it was nice to remember that they were brothers. Like, starting this record. Who forgot? Who forgot pushing out of some brothers?

Of course, yes. We know they are brothers, but we know them to be brothers, and they, like, so coped together. I'm not saying they haven't, like, did deep dives into their personal lives in clips albums or push-a-t-tie solo shit. But this was, like, a reminder going into this project that how many times have we ever seen two actual blood brothers from the same parents be a legendary duo in hip hop? Like that was a crazy thing that I don't think we've seen and starting the record

out with push talking about moms, malice talking about pops. Like how we've never even seen that. I've never seen that music. Can you name any any genre in music? Roy, what you're saying is absolutely correct. It was beautiful to start like, oh, these guys are brothers like these are. Don't start me like that. Don't start me like that. Don't start me. like that is all I'm saying like don't do that I appreciated it to um because I was re-listened to it again today I appreciate the make me cry make me emotional and then we write on to the bullshit and we on bullshit for the rest of the album like you know what I'm saying like I like that like oh y'all are crazy y'all psychopaths yeah y'all want to cry and then get into

bullshit yeah yeah it's way to get into bullshit and cry after the bullshit is over it's way too good of a record right when that bullshit come in it's way too good of a record to be at the end style. Yeah. It's an amazing record. It needy. No, it is. I just don't, I just feel like opening the album with that. I was just like, damn, man, like, because it goes right into a whole different type of energy with chains and whips. So I'm just like, damn, like, I, emotionally, I'm just everywhere right now. But, you know, that's just me nitpicking that, you know, just preference. But, um, I think it was a very interesting and cool way to start an album where no other duo or rapper, whatever could do that. But I got, I got it. I got to express.

my disdain. Stove God deserves a fucking verse, man. I'm sorry, bro. You can't give Stove God a hook on a record like that. Like, you got to let him talk his shit. Like, I don't know if, I just, I mean,

that song, the music, the hook, the lyric, everything is perfect. And it just feels like it was room for Stove to get off. Like it ended so, like, the song is like not even, probably not even three minutes, is it? Uh, yeah, it's 322, but I, I hear you, it didn't feel like it, the song was already too crowded. I feel like, yes, there could have been a stove verse and it would have felt fine. It would have felt fine.

Like, and that's so, that's my, that was it. It was just like, we need a stove god verse on that right. Y'all can't be talking greasy like that. Stove coming in with the melody. The only other person that could have done that hook that way is for real. Yeah. Like, he's the only other one I feel like vocally, you know, that would have sounded like good on that record. But to have Stove on it, I love that, just giving Stove that look.

But you've got to let him get his balls off. The way we obviously have said Stove is by far one of our favorite new rappers, especially in this subgenre of hip hop. He has become like the hook guy in a weird way. Like, because Westside has done that with Stove for the past two albums. Like, there's times I felt Stove should have got a verse and he'll just do the hook on Westside. He is great. He is like a Coke Nate dog in a weird way for the genre.

Like, I know it sounds nuts, but if you go through West's catalog, Stove has the best harmonies on every fucking West Side shit. You know what else he has on West Side? Some Versus. Versus. I'm not disagreeing with you. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. Just let Stove cook.

Let him get his shit off. That's just the perfect record. I know Stove has something for that. I know he wrote to that. Like, I know he got bought to that somewhere. So, yeah, that was it. But other than that, the rollout was impeccable, the tiny desk, you know, all the interviews. You know, just seeing the clips, you know, stayed true to a formula that they've obviously, when they came up in the industry, it was a different time.

You know, as far as you did, people doing their rollouts, it was a little different. But to see them still doing that, be very intentional, you know, to still kind of attach high-level art to hip-hop, which is high-level art as far as I'm concerned. Yeah. To see them kind of, you know, keep that essence and, you know, keep those things around their album. It was dope to see that, man. So, you know, I'm, I like the album. I haven't listened to any other album this weekend. I didn't get into Justin Bieber's album yet.

I'll get to that in one second. I do want to run through some of the records that are here. Chains and Whips, obviously, we had heard the Kendrick leak before that. I still think it's an incredible verse sounded way different coming on the album. Again, I think that's a perfect way to go after crying. Like, let's just get right to the shits. POV, I think Malice may have verse of the year on POV. As of right now, I don't know if there's a better rap verse.

I know you think it's Eminem on Animal, but I think Malice has the best verse of the year so far on POV, explaining why he left and why he's better than everyone else. So be it, I was a little sad to see that it was a different version, but I know they couldn't clear the sample. So they had to go that route. The run from 7 to 10, MT, B, T, that's the only thing I can't. Like, too many.

Mike Tyson blow to the face. I know what it, but like, just. call it that, please. Because I have to say, you know how stupid I am, Demarison? I have to type out, right, Mike Tyson. All right. You could have just, they could have just called the Mike Tyson. But that run from Mike Tyson, blow to the face,

down to Inglorious Bastards. Like that four, I don't know if anyone's competing with that this year. That's an insane run. And I was telling Rock Nation on Friday, what's the E, B, IT, DA? Which one does that stand for, Demaris? Since you want our spelling bee? I don't. I actually don't know for that one.

I can't remember. I hope they make that the next single. Can you guys just let the drug dealers have some fun sometimes? Like, I know so far ahead was a big favorite for a next single, but let the drug dealers have fun, man. That's a summer record. I feel like Malice smiled when he was recording that. I feel like they had a growl on their face recording every verse,

but that shit. You know I'm terrible with titles. Like, your name of these titles, and I don't know what song that is. Like a fun record. I feel like Coke dealers, especially if they're free, should be able to smile sometimes and have fun. Like that can be a single. Yeah.

Doesn't always have to be, you know, so be it, so be it. Let's all smile. You guys are buying Virginia Beach. Yeah. It's gorgeous. It's a good album. It's a good album. I like it a lot, man.

I'm very pleased with what they did. Ferrell is still sharp. And it's just good to, you know, see these guys still working, still in shit. I know in hip hop we like to say, you know, it's a young guy sport or young young lady sport. These older gentlemen are out rapping, making better songs, making better albums than 90% of you in this fucking industry. So I'm happy for that, man. I'm just happy to see guys from a different era, still putting out dope shit, still looking good, still sounding good, still being intentional

because when the landscape changes and the business around the music and the genre that you love changes it's easy to fall into like a different you know space mentally and just emotionally

when it comes to create music especially clips they've been through they've been through a lot Star Trek like Dev Jam so to still see them be so intentional

and you know and have this body of work that they put together and the one thing I really like that they did that I don't think nobody's talking about. Is this such a short project? Yeah, straight to the point. That's what I love the most.

13 tracks, 40 minutes. That's a, don't give me 27, 28. Like, because then it's like, it's just you asking too much of me. Like, I got to really be attached to 28 tracks, 30 tracks. That's a lot. When you go 13, get right to it. Here's the music. Here's the bars.

It's like, okay, me personally, I receive that differently than if you, I look at it. so my anxiety starts going crazy when I see 30 tracks. I'm like, all right, fan. Like, I can't, like, 30. I'm going to need the weekend. Yeah, like, it's just like keep it. I like this. Everything about this feels like a different time, like,

when albums were 13 tracks, 12 tracks, right to it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I just, I like everything the clips did with this, with this project. Since you brought up, you know, the industry shit they've been through, do we think it's a blessing that they got off Def Jam? And I'm speculation here. Of course, the clips were. obviously heavily involved in how this was rolled out.

And I'm sure a lot of the ideas came from them. Do we think it would have been executed the same way with Dev Jam? No. I think so. I think they control what they do as far as rollout and things like that. I don't think that Dev Jam would have gotten away and said, hey, we're not doing that or we don't want y'all guys do it. I don't think they would do this stuff.

Well, I mean, even putting some money behind what that rollout looks like, do we think Def Jam would even believe in that style of rollouts at this? That I don't know. I would assume so. It is Def Jam. I don't know who's there anymore. Who's like running the label now. So much has changed that DevJam over the years.

Or would have the staff that would be able to facilitate a lot of that. Now, that's a whole, you know, again, I don't know. Or maybe. Maybe they just, you know, let the clip do to them. Yeah. But I understand why you ask that because that's a real question. You know, sometimes the label doesn't understand it. Or they say, oh, we don't need, y'all don't need to do all of that.

We're not doing all that. Is that worth all the money? I just think the clips is a different act. It's a different thing. I think that the clips is obviously a legacy. act at this point. They've been around so long. So I don't see Def Jam getting in the way of that.

But listen, man, the fact that they left Def Jam on their terms and wanted to get away from that. I mean, they definitely didn't miss any steps. They didn't drop the ball at all. No. So, I mean, I'm guessing the clips are very pleased with how things landed, how people received it.

I've seen nothing but, people saying nothing with good things online about it. People personally I know have been saying great things about the album. And I like it. I listen to it, you know, a few times. And, you know, the music, again, it's Farrell. Once you say Farrell is in charge of the music and he's executive producing something, the music is always going to be a certain level.

And the clips and Farrell, to me, they didn't miss on this project at all. What would you rate it? Out of five. Out of five? I hate out of five. Okay, out of ten. Out of ten. Okay.

Five is always so. So far, Matt. Listen, stove don't have a verse. I got to take one off, a point off for that. Can I give you my one critique since you're, saying your critique I feel like the Nause verse felt

a little forced I was great to say the Nod verse And who the fuck am I to say that If Nause wants to be on your album Let's force it Let's do it But that's literally my only

Of course I would like a Stowe verse But I love this hook So it is what it is That was the only time Track 12 I was like Okay Yeah I didn't I didn't

Because I was really anticipating Naz with the clips Clips yeah You see that You're like okay But see it was the same thing for me. Not bad. No, it's not bad.

It's an Nonsver. But see, it was the same thing for me when you tell me Stovegod. Yeah, yeah. Has a joint with the clips. I'm like, oh, these niggas. You're looking for another exodus. Somebody's getting indicted. You know what I'm saying?

That's the feeling I had when his track was first dropped. I'm like, oh, my God. But for him to only have the hook, it's like, okay, great hook. He sounds good. He's talking crazy. You know, he had the bag in one eye, clothes and all that. Shouts to Fetty Wop. You know what I get it.

But you got to let him get off. So to point off of that, I don't like opening the album. I love the song, but I don't like opening an album. I love that emotion. It's just like, dole. Like, you got to let me. I'd be tight if it was the outro. Not.

It doesn't necessarily have to be the outro. I'm not saying it had to be the last song on the album, but it shouldn't have been the first one on the album. Like, don't give me, like, come on, man, that's just too much to unpack. Well, I tried to challenge you on our last episode. Where do you rank the John Legend hook? And did you practice? Birds don't say.

the birds don't sing they screeching brain that niggins the WB frog I love WB frog I love the WB frog I'm just saying that's who John Legend for him and Macmoor remember Mac Moon from McDonald's yeah yeah that's John Legend to me man I just know it was Mac Moon and WB Frog okay but do you hear me from the last episode I said I think you will actually like this John Legend hook no no I like it he didn't over sing it like he did on some

listen I'm gonna talk shit about John got off on it I'm going to talk shit about John Legend just because that's me. But I love John Legend. Like, he's dope, especially when you give him a song like that to just bring that, you know, emotion and that tone to it. Yeah, he got off on that. Okay, so we're giving ratings. While we think of that, I do want to note that Pitchfork gave this a 6.5. Out of 10?

Out of 10. I was going to land somewhere around 7. I believe they've given Ice Spice a 12 on everything. And someone brought up in sexy. we trust is a 7-5 from pitchfork same writer and sexy we trust who's that sexy red sexy red who else you think her album got a 7-5 in 24 yeah i was going to land on probably at 8 so far for this i like that 8 i'm at i was going to 8.1 yeah what's the point-one how did you tally that much more of an expert okay because it was an 8-5 but then the nase it a few adjustments okay of things but yeah

which by that i think like an 8-1 score is incredible crazy. You kidding me? Like, yeah. I don't even know if there's a 10-10 besides thriller.

The biggest thing for me is the fact that it's 13 tracks, 40 minutes. That's a great crap album. That's a grown, man type of time. Yeah, I got shit to do. Yeah, like, don't give me, like 30 tracks,

you're asking a lot. Like, you ordering a lot off the menu, shoddy. I just met you, like, you know what I'm saying? You had apps and desserts. Like, relax. You know what I'm saying?

And I had to pay for parking. Yeah, 30, 30 tracks is like, Just for rap, I just, I don't want to hear that much rap. And yeah, I wanted to listen at midnight, but I, of course, had to be up early. All right, 40, 40, cool. I hit right at midnight, 40 minutes, I go right to sleep. Yeah. Perfect.

Wake up in the morning. Amara heard that, I feel bad for her. I'm curious what, like, her next few sentences are going to be. If she started doing Coke math, I'm a bad parent. Yeah. I'm going to do a, we're going to do a segment on Patreon about how push makes everybody seem like so poor. Like I want to know if there's any other artists Who does it the way that push does

And we're just gonna bring up the line Yeah I saw some funny shit Somebody said push your rap like Push your rap like he's in your house But you don't know which room he's in Yeah That's one of my favorite sweet talk That was hilarious

I read that I was like I understand what he means by that Like it's hard to explain What I totally understand What he's like It's like pushing those all your secrets And you're just like

Is this nigga here? Like how do you know Somebody he texts me and was like Niggas be sounding like rich spellcasters Like you just like, you just like Yeah, push your situation, we got blickers under the mink. You got dirty dishes in your sink.

You're like, how this nigga know I ain't washed the dishes in there? That nigga in here, man. That niggas in here, man. Guess what room I'm in? Yeah, guess what room I mean? He definitely will rule my man ass, d'nicker for sure. But I'm excited to see how this album ages.

I think I was having this debate with somebody over the weekend on the producer side. If you're putting in their entire catalogs, We were talking about like the A-list producers, whether it be Drey, Farrell, Timelen, Swizz, et cetera. I'm comfortable saying I think Farrell is my favorite producer if we're taking everyone's catalogs. Solo, N-E-R-D, everything he's produced. I think I'm comfortable right now, which it could change by tomorrow. Farrell, I think, is my favorite producer of all time.

I said that when we did the beat battle. I mean, I've said it before, too, but. Oh, with Kanye? That's tough. that's tough. It's very tough. That's a tough. You saying something with that's tough. Kanye or with Ferrella with Kanye? Yeah. I mean, a lot of the stuff that I started to love with Yey post like late registration, like he wasn't really producing. I mean, I get it. Listen, I'm not mad at it. I'm not, Ferrella's one of my favorite producers of all.

It could be a in an hour. But we were just going through everything. And of course, you're still sitting on this album just coming out and the allure of that entire thing. But I don't know, man. When you go through Farrell and include everything, NERD, plus everything he's done with Hope, like, Calise. It just start, everything with Star Trek, like, it's, it gets kind of crazy. No, because the solo catalog is there. This is Farrell.

The group catalog is there. The production catalog is there. This is, I'm not, I'm just, I don't, I would have to sit back and think about that a little more when I comes to him and Kanye. But Farrell is one of my favorites. Anytime you tell me, Farrell is executive producer. or something, I know it's going to be at a certain level. Like, just because that's what Farrell does.

So I'm not mad at that. I just, just Kanye we're talking about. You know what I mean? It's a lot to have to sift through when it comes to saying it might be a better producer than Kanye was. So on Thursday night, we saw that Bieber had announced a few hours before that that he was putting out quite possibly the worst title of an album of all fucking time, swag, and then the internet got the interneting.

and said that, wow, look at Universal, rushing a Bieber album to step on the clips. Like, that would ever fucking happen. Justin Bieber's just like, wait, you need me to step on the clips, Universal? Here's two more. Yeah, here's two more songs. No. Stupid as shit.

I didn't listen to it yet, but I'm hearing it's good, though. Good. It's phenomenal. Yeah? This was not rushed. Awful fucking title. But you guys know I love Bieber Pop. I love Bieber R&B.

Journal is a classic to me. I've always supported Bebebs. even when he's done some insane fucking things. He just needs to sit down. This is maybe my second favorite, Justin B. Rob. Damn. Oh, you came in here. You came in here prepared that you're just like...

Hot Tate. I'm not even... Putting it all on the line. Purpose is close. Don't get me wrong. It was always journals and then purpose after that. This swag album, though, of course, you have to give it more time. I think this is going to easily surpass purpose

as the second greatest Justin Bieber of all time. And they're saying he has another album coming this year, right? Oh, I didn't even see that. I think I read that online. This was just the first. He's supposed to have another one, I think, dropped in this year. Just my opinion. Nothing about this feels forced whatsoever.

I know we hate the shit cohesive, but, you know, a lot of this was produced by MKG, Dejan, you know, cohesive producers, locking in with just one or two people. This felt very intentional, very purposeful. no pun intended. I don't even know where to begin on this, this beaves. This is,

this is pop beaves meeting R&B Beaves in the best possible way that you can find. Okay. I mean, I haven't really heard all of it. They were playing it in here earlier. Go baby when I heard it. You know when something's playing in the background

immediately. I was like, oh, Pige, what's that? So I really like that track. I have to give it another listen. Daisy's crazy. Yukon, crazy. I mean, he tried to get a little bit on his Frank Ocean,

blonde throughout this, but just touches that I didn't mind. Just a little partially a blonde. Wasn't mad at it. Go baby insane. Butterflies, nuts. You guys know I've come in like I don't dislike Gunna, but he's not really my go-to. Way it is with Justin Bieber and Gunna. Sounds like he should be in SWV. Please. Gunna is singing. I mean, he says melodic shit. Oh, melodic rap. Okay. You know, the little B record is crazy. The only critique is, uh, I don't, I don't, I don't need any of the Drusky skits, which sucks, because I think Drusky is fucking hilarious. They were just stupid. They were just kind of unnecessary.

I feel you. I feel like that was the only thing that was rushed. They asked Drusky to come in for one hour, and he cut a bunch of things. And he was trying to tell Justin Bieber how black he was, and all Bebes kept going was, yeah, yeah, thanks. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, very odd. Awkward.

It wasn't, I feel like it wasn't Drewske's fault. They didn't give him enough time to cook and, like, figure out what he was going to do with Just to me and say he wants you on the album I'm on the way Exactly Yeah I'm on the way I don't know what we're doing

But I'll be there in 20 minutes But listen I was on the same page And we saw who the features were On Thursday of like I don't know man Is this the Bebe's exploitation album You got Gunna sexy red

Cash Cobain Nah Nothing's exploited on this shit whatsoever This is beautiful fucking popin R&B music He actually brought a lot of them Into his world I felt like instead of grabbing from their world.

I mean, of course, it's a little sexy drill to the Cash Cobain shit, but he brought gun into his world. Even the sexy joint is cool. It was for her name, and she didn't need to be on it, but no, I think you'll actually really like it. And again, it's like 50 minutes. Straight to the point. Okay.

I'm going to check it out. I just was, you know, really listening to the clips album. That was the only one I wanted to listen to this weekend. So I put in the chat. I mean, I know you guys weren't going to have fresh flowers for me waiting, but I'm sure they'll be here on Wednesday. Sure. You know, delivery sometimes.

It can get weird. I had said when we went through Patreon.com forward slash new RoryMall available now, we went through our checklist for predictions of 2025 since we're halfway through the year. Yep. Got to MKG will be the best new artist of 2025. I said I was completely fucking wrong.

And I found out he wrote and produced this a album, so I want some flowers. And this is the launching point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is how it starts. And then Pige put in the chat like, oh, damn, he's white. I'm about to listen. That's not what he said. But, I mean, he said, oh, he's a crack?

I even know we shortened Cracker around here. Not crack. Crack, crack rock. There you go. Also, on Saturday, I believe, right? Wasn't even Friday. Jack Boys, Travis Scott, Jack Boys, too, came out. I ain't hear nothing about this.

Skimmed it. I didn't hear nothing. I didn't hear nothing about this. The Bun B interludes definitely surpassed the Drusky ones on Beaver Swag. But I don't know. The skim, I do actually want to. to give them like the proper time to listen to it but the skim sounded like a cool Travis got album sure i'll hear some of those records out and think they're great i got to listen to that but doc

i'm not going to listen to that before i listen to the beep album no god no yeah i got to listen to the beep album first um the last one as far as like the bigger projects givion beloved shout to givion it was good to see him drop the project love givion i have not had a chance to listen to this but first thing thursday episode we're going to get into that givion album yeah yeah i haven't heard either because we have given we have given full breakdowns of every give yon project like lyric breakdowns he him and i are like heartbreak spirit animals so i know he's talking some shit on there it was just good to see him drop a project because he's been giving yon's been kind of like after he blamed cheating on justine sky on his grandmother i was like oh yeah this is this is the go at her do all the interloose like my

grandbaby didn't mean anything wrong by that it's how he was raised yeah get grandma in there i need my girl back but I know who else put out something why am I blanking Larry June Larry June Shouts to Larry June Boldie Jones

Nicholas Craven Emincardo right Shout to Larry June A lot of music I'm still catching up And I promise we'll give proper breakdowns of the rest of these projects When we have the time

Could Larry's music is just perfect for any of right If you got the kids over Yeah Parents Like Larry June is like Taylor Swift when you think about it. You can play their music.

You can play his music anywhere and nobody's going to be offended. You know what I'm saying? You're going to tell you drink some orange juice. Yeah, it's positive. Yeah, you're saying? While the two chains one, there may be some records

I might have to skip through with family and children there, but. Yeah, maybe. But Larry, for the most part, like, you know, his vibe, his energy is always, it's for everybody. That's going to land pretty high

since we were talking about halfway through the year. Two chains and Larry June, that project's going to land pretty high, I think, on my list of rap albums of the year. two chains later and it was the alchemist right yeah can't forget it i come on man yeah that's up there for sure maul have you ever been walking down east tremont and saw a phone plan and thought wow that's a great price you signed up then you got your bill and it was way higher than what it was advertised whenever i've walked down east trimont roary i thought more than that but that does

not happen with boost mobile you pay $25 a month forever that's unlimited talk text data starting at $25 a month. That's right. 5G speed is not available in all areas. After 30GB, customers may experience slower speeds. Customers will pay $25 a month as long as they remain active on the boost unlimited plan. A win is a win. A win is a win.

Do you remember when Diana Ross double-tap Little Kim's boobs at the VMAs? Or when Kanye said that George Bush didn't like black people. I know what you're thinking.

What the hell does George Bush got to do with Little Kim? Well, you can find out on the Look Back at it podcast. I'm Sam J. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s.

To be clear, 84's big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you for finishing that sentence. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really?

Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre,

as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship,

nourishaping in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always

act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here at the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to meet. make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean, like, the president?

You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president. Does law a brousette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. It was a good one.

I like that snake. It is an actual Polish. saying. It is an actual better version of play stupid games win stupid prizes. Yes. Which by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick Dick and

Poll show on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But you guys had your Super Bowl this weekend as well. Take it away, man. Wireless. Oh, shout out. Shout out. What a weekend. Shout out Wireless Fest. Wireless Fest. Oh, was this weekend in London. Uh, shout out to Drake, three nights, three different set lists, three different vibes.

I think the only other person, the headline wildest, three different nights was Prince. That's crazy. So I think there was some, that was a little wink, a little wink, wink. Ah, okay. At the whole little, you know. I mean, but it was dope to see all the videos. People was there. I was mad.

I missed it. You know, Lauren Hill, Givion, Bryce and Tiller, Bobby V, Mario, Dave, Central C, J. Hus, skepta. Vibs Cartel, Lotto, sexy red. I mean, I don't know. Vanessa Carlton. I was waiting for you to get to like the number one. Vanessa Carlton. Like I don't, listen, there's not many artists that could bring, you know, have, say,

first of all, it's not many artists that can get Lauren Hill anywhere, but they didn't get Lauren Hill somewhere on time. Six hours ahead of her usual time? Six hours ahead of her usual time. Was she already in? London? I assume so. I assume she was over there.

Were a lot of these artists already there? Well, yeah, they knew they was going to touch the stage for wireless. No, I just wasn't sure, like, how much Drake planned ahead with, you know, pop can vibes, all these people. If he was behind bringing everyone this specific list outside of obviously like Dave and Central Sea and certain people that live out there. Did he fly all these people there? Like, I probably did. I mean, I love that. I think that's amazing for three days that you want to put these.

specific artists up there. But that takes a lot of planning. Whoever was the stage manager for the last three days, like, can we get his name? And I hope Drake buys him a Rolex instead of some streamer he's never met. To get all these acts on stage on time three days straight is one of the craziest stage handlers of all time. Yeah. That's got to be insane.

Yeah, the lineup was crazy. It was good to see, you know, Mario and Bobby V and guys. Vanessa Carlton. I'm still, that's like, that's almost like this can't be happening for real. Like, who sees Vanessa Carlton those days? Like, when you see that? So it was dope to see all of those people go out. Shout out to Drake for doing something.

I think, you know, not many other artists can do, like, as far as three different nights, three different vibes, three different set lists. That's incredible to have that much music in your catalog and be able to remember that much, that many bars and something. Yeah, that's a lot. Like, you know, you know because you've obviously been a part of shows and things like that. But for an artist to do that, that takes a lot. It's a lot of moving pieces behind the scenes.

A lot of things that have to go right. From what I know, everything went perfect. There's no mishaps, anything like that. So shout out to the UK. Shout out to London. And shout out to Drake for an incredible wireless weekend. I really like the Central Scene and Drake snippet that they played. I think it was like day two.

He played it. Or maybe it was day three. Put your hands on the DJ booth. That shit was hard. Like, of course, I saw some people killing it online, but that's just what happens these days. if you just don't look at the comments and listen to a snippet and just judge for your fucking self, I think you'll enjoy music a little bit more.

I think you'll enjoy life a little more. You told my music, just light. That record is hard. I like the first part and then when the beat actually switches and drops for real, it's a joint. Yeah. I hope we get that song sooner than later. If he played it, it's definitely dropping soon. That record was hard as fuck.

Yeah. The only thing I did hate on the internet during this entire thing was not Drake's opinion, because he's entitled to that as far as London rappers versus U.S. rappers. It was more at UK rap daily with their headline. Drake ends the UK versus U.S. debate.

Nah, he didn't end it. It ended before it started. And Drake saying London rappers are the best lyricists in the world, cool. And I'm never taken away from the ability of London rappers and lyricism.

And that Drake is in London, those guys, this and that. But like, we got to stop with some of these fantasy debates just for the fuck of it. We're still cleaning up London. Just because Drake, just because a Canadian rapper was like, nah, nah, it's them.

Nah. I mean, listen, man, you. Don't say, let's know, man. Skeptor shot. He shot. We waited for Joyner. Joyner posted this video was like, I bet. He gave us to Cam Newton, I bet.

And we know what Cam Newton did after he said, I bet. So, I mean, we got to. Which is one of the craziest sports clips of all time. Oh, my God. That's like legendary when Cam Newton was like. He looked at the scoreboard and was like, all right. Like, bet. Like, I got this. And then went out and won the game.

So, I mean, we still waiting on Joyner. But I like, I like this type of shit, man. I like the fact that Skeptor jumped out there. You know, he threw some bars at Joyner. Keep it wrapped. You see who I'm standing with. Harvard? Skeptor said you rap like you went to Harvard.

I'm wearing my Harvard Alumni shirt. You didn't go to Harvard, though. I know. But neither to Joyner. But we're standing with him. Listen, man. I bleed red, white and blue. Yeah, Jonah, I'm yours.

I wore this today for you while you rap like he studied at Harvard. That's not going to get it done, Skepter. And I love Skepter, but that's not getting it done with Joyner Lucas. No, we do know. Because he is going to adopt an entire British accent and rap from your perspective

and you are going to be cooked. You thought family matters was bad. Somebody said, Joyner's going to rap from the perspective of a crumpet. I was like, all right, man. Like, I was like, I don't know. He got to rap like how Drake did like with the Kendrick Beef

like you got to rap as the queen and AI. The queen, rap is the queen of London? That's crazy. If Joyner do that, I might be done with rap. I'm going to be honest with you.

If he rap as the queen of London, I might be like, what if he raps from Prince Harry's perspective and Megynne Markle? I'm done. I'm done. It's just too much. It's like,

we're just doing anything and rapping. What if he gets, then gets Flo Millie to do like Megan Markle's part? We know one thing. Joyner can wrap his ass or. That's a fact. And he's going to take this very seriously.

Oh, no. Don't be waiting for this type of shit. Listen, this has the potential. The reason why I love this, the reason why I love this whole thing is because this has the potential to, you know, be one of the biggest crossovers that we probably been trying to figure out with, you know, the UK rap scene, guys from that, you know, across the pond, as they say, crossing over to American. Central C obviously had some success.

Hell yeah, yeah. Over here. Dave, Dave, you know what I'm saying? There's been some guys that have crossover, but there's a lot of. Gives and skeptical, we're probably the first. Yeah, but there's a lot of guys, this, you know, Chip, Jay Huss. Yeah. There's guys over there gets, you know what I'm saying?

There's guys over there that could really get into that bag and really rap, but I think that, you know, us American sometimes the accent kind of divides us and we don't really want to, you know, listen to it. But there's guys over there that can really, really rap and push their pins. So I'm excited just for this moment and this energy to kind of, you know what I mean, serve as a bridge, if you will, of guys crossing over to the U.S. you know, just being aware of other guys around the world that are actually a part of hip hop that I actually rap it. Yeah, I mean, even when we saw with the Joey Badass verse everybody that whole week everyone was focused on bars for a change. I think that would be great for a bunch of Americans

to actually have to sit and focus on UK bars. Yeah. Because, again, the accent can deter certain people. It just kind of is what it is. So I hope this does turn into like an actual great back and forth between the UK. Yeah, I want to see it, man. Yeah, let the, let them. I mean, we don't clean them up, but still,

Listen, I mean, you know, I just want to hear good music, man. I want to hear rappers rap. Like we said earlier this year, I'd rather rap as rap than to be on IG Live dissing each other, man. So if you told my rappers getting back in the booth and, you know, sending shots at each other all for the sport, like nothing, nothing, you know, spilling over into no real beef and in the streets because that's corny shit. If guys want to keep it rap, this fucking rap. Yeah. Did you ever see Central Seas Leakers freestyle a couple years ago when he did like his version? of UK big el of ebonics

that I thought was a great idea because it made Americans looking at an American platform like try to understand and get past the accent of what are saying so I hope it does that times 10 with this and skepta is no slouch I am joking around but I just don't think joiner is the one to play with no no join the let's be very clear joiner Lucas can rap his asshole

um you know so we we never we never questioned his ability to rap but it's, you know, it's going to be interesting just to see this whole exchange this back and forth. And just to see, to hear the bars and the music that, you know, these guys create. That's all I'm looking forward to. Hard segue, but speaking of insane foreigners and Peach, this segment is sponsored by Rose Parks. Colin McGregor might be one of the sickest human beings I've ever seen in my entire life. Duh.

I know, but, like, now it's... That's your Irish brothers. I know. That's why, like, I want to stand with them. But this behavior... He must be from Northern Ireland. What did he do? All right.

So at 5.30 a.m. today, we're recording this on Monday, July 14th. Yeah. He sends a request message to Azealia Banks. You can see where it's accept, deny. You can see that him and Azealia Banks had never spoken before. They weren't flirting. They weren't doing nothing. He sent a photo of his dick to Azealia and then said, don't rat.

Rats always get caught. Then sent a follow. up of another dick pick with a dumbbell attached to his dick to show what it could hold. And then said under that, Strong dick. Lifting weights or something. Like, hey, get my cardio in. And then Azealia, who didn't hit except on these, because does not know this human being,

goes, you think of all fucking people, you would send this to me? And I wouldn't expose it on the internet. So she posted Colin McGregor's two dick picks on her Twitter, which, by the way, is somebody who's going to send you unsolicited I mean I feel like that's fair game at that point if they were like flirting or whatever and she leaked it then I'd be like this is for real

this happened a few hours ago more and of all people shout out to AB we love AB even if we disagree with her what of all people you're going to send your dick to you're sending it to Azilea Banks she is going to put it on the internet what this is the most random shit

like yeah well he's running for president it's the rollout all right wait hold on man dissimulation is breaking mall's brain y'all are confusing him de Maris this ain't

some of the most random shit like Connor McGregerson and dick picks to Azealia Banks Maybe he's hacked yeah but why send it to Azealia Bank why would the hacker send it

to Azealia Banks because if you send anything to Azealia banks it's because you want it to get leaked you want her to post about it yeah no I feel like there's a lot of shit of Zillia probably holds down

to herself but you're not about like if you don't know her at all and you're as famous as Colin McGregor and you just sending like full-blown dick picks one with a weight attached, a dumbbell attached to your dick. What?

You think she's just going to scroll past that and charge it to the game? This is just odd. I don't have much to say it. But this is some, what is this? I believe it was he'll call it a potato farming penis. Ha! That's racist.

All right, man. I don't know, man. You got to call it. Call Connor, man. Talk to you, bro. I thought you wanted me to call Alia. No, call Connor. You don't need to call her.

Call Connor and see if he's... Make sure everything is okay over there, man. Man, please stop sending dick pics unsolicited. It is sexual assault. Thank you. Say what? As sexual assault. What?

Yeah, you shouldn't just send your dick to somebody. Please stop sending dick pics. I mean, did we... Did we have to say that in 2025? Is that something we still even have to say? Like... Apparently? That is...

Yeah, that's wild. I've never met the lepercon, but today's... Wait, he sent that on his birthday? And he wants everyone to make a wish and blow the candle. Funny how big of a closet mag. All right, that's hilarious. What I mean, yeah? Shout out to...

I don't know, man. Shout out my nigga Gucci. Yeah, shout out my nigga Gucci. Because he's probably six hours ahead, too. That's still a crazy time on a Monday to just start. Yeah, this just seems like... Like, if y'all flirting... And it's consent.

Cool. But you just, in the, in the request, the call, the request DMs. The cold dick pick is wild. Wow. They do that. Who is they? They be cold dicking. They do cold dick.

It's not a cold call. It's a cold dick. Cold dick. Cold dick. Cold dick. For real. Yeah, that's just crazy. Send him nut videos, beat off videos.

Why do you want me to look at you? All right, Josh. I saw the edited version. My God. This is a big TV. Why are you turned down by a stranger watching you beat off? Like, why are there nut videos in my crest of EMS? Like, what are we doing?

Well, I'm curious, like, how you get to the point of finding a dumbbell and, like, strapping it correctly to your dick. Like, how do you get that far into the whole thing? Oh, that's what you're trying to uncover. You're trying to break that code. Out the gate? I'm trying to figure out why would Connor McGregor even send anything to Zillia Vanks? At all, anything.

I mean, the way. politics moves now, the campaigns have changed, you know. Don't give me that. It's not our parents' campaign trail anymore. Like, things are drastically different. Yeah, yeah. No, I get it. You have to think about, like, if he's running for office in Ireland, I don't know, I mean, the lads, the lads may like it.

Yeah, they might dig that. They might, yeah, that's the type of guy we need in the office right there. All right. Remember, we broke down that one. Was he running for Senate? The guy that leaked his, well, not leaked, put out his own sex date. What was his name? He was some type of politician, but he was here, right?

Yeah, I think it was upstate New York or some shit. And he was very pro-sex worker and he was dogging out a prostitute. Like, that was his campaign. I forgot his name. He's a man of the people. He's out in the streets for real. I just want to know how he, like, landed on his dealia.

Yeah, that's just, that's what I'm saying. Like, Calumner even, like, knows. I don't know. It was very funny, though. I saw over the weekend that Uno is coming to Las Vegas casinos. I mean, I did look more into it because when I saw that, I was like, all right, I'm going to get addicted to gambling for sure.

I finally found my calling card. It's more of like a pop-up experience that the owners of Uno are doing with Vegas at the Palms. It's like an Uno-themed game night that you can rent out. But I think it's a test to see if Uno could really work in casinos. How would you bet on Uno though?

They're going to keep finding a way to get your money, boy. But I'm just curious, like, would you do it off wins? Would you do it off, how would you bet on Uno? Yeah, you would have to bet per hand, right? Yeah. Yeah, but you act like a spades hand moves, but a uno game could go for four out. Like, we're doing one bet, and it could be for four hours. Yeah, who's going to win this game?

Yeah. It's weird. I mean, that's not how I feel like casinos would make their money. They're going to have to find some parlayes within that Uno game. Oh, for sure. And are y'all going to let me play the black way? Like, can I do stacks? So that was my next question.

When I saw this and thought it was just, just straight up, Uno is going to be next to the crap table and next to the poker table. I was like, I may hate this because Uno doesn't even know Uno's rules. I love when y'all say they don't know their rules. They don't. Uno does not know their own rules. They don't. And I'm not playing their rules at a,

especially not betting on that shit. But they're going definitely had the rules somewhere at the table so people know, because they know people are going to start, you're like, nah, you can't put that on top of that. And y'all can't go up in this establishment with your rules. You know in Oceans 12 or 13, whatever one of it is, where

where Bernie Mac like makes up his own game and then they like the casino owners bid on like I want this game they need to have that dealer at one of the Uno tables like hey real Uno is over here if you want to play what game will the rule like the real rules outside of Uno what game would get you out of like go to Vegas and start gambling Uno Domino's I ain't a lot they bring I declare war I might be in that fucking yeah they do they have war in Vegas No way Where? They have war in Vegas

Off strip shit Off strip That's good I never knew that That's at the gambling spot for real Not at the casino That's wow I never knew that

I never knew they had more at the casinos I've never seen it I think You don't find it eye That they don't have dominoes at the casino No I don't find it out I know why they don't got domino

Why Have you ever seen the Dominicans play Dominoes in front of the bodega? Of course they played it. Somebody gets stabbed every hand. And I don't like their way of playing either. I wouldn't want to play that. The Spanish way I don't like. The Blackway is the only way to play Domino's, in my opinion.

But, all right, you acting like that doesn't happen with Uno. I get why Spades isn't really at the, because someone's definitely dying. Spades will never be a fucking casino game. Dominoes, I feel like they would get a lot of tours. Domino's at the surface level of rules is pretty fucking easy. It gets complicated once you really start playing. The rules of dominoes are pretty fucking easy. Speed.

Y'all remember speed with cards? Yes, but explain it again? Speed is when you have the two, oh, God, you have the two decks in the middle. You guys each have your cards and you're trying to get rid of your cards at the fastest. You grab them, whoever ends up with the most cards

at the end with. Nah, that's too much. That sounds like too much space for a nigga to pull from Bush in Vegas. And you can't even, you can't even touch the cards at a casino. Yeah, nah, yeah, yeah. That's not, that's not, that's not made.

Well, poker you can, but all the other shits, no. You're not touching anything. And I feel like they could rig that. They could rig speed so much easier than blackjack and everything else that they. And this is correct. In Las Vegas, a number of casinos off of the car game, Casino War known for its straightforward rules and fast-paced nature. The Mirage.

The Mirage, Belagio, Venetian, sees. Oh, they saw everything. Yeah, any spot you're going to probably stand. They got it. MGM, yeah. Damn. Damn. Well, listen, man, good luck to anybody playing Uno.

at the casino, you're going to gamble gamble your kids' future. Well, it's not there yet. Again, it's a pop up of an Uno theme suite, a game night type of thing. They're teasing it. It's going to be a stable soon, though. What about like dodgeball? In Vegas? Like on the casino floor?

With DeMaris, flush this out now because we can't just, we can't just scoff at it. Flush it out, Demaris. Let me hear it. Because they're going to have a separate Uno room. Like, what if you have like a They're going to have a table? They're just going to have an Uno table. It's not a room. They're not given a good. I said, a Uno Social Club in Vegas is just the beginning. We're excited to see how these new experiences

inspire players. You know how the hotels are set up. They're just going to have like how they have you go see Elvis right here. You go see Whitney Houston right here. It's like that and then Uno right here. A variety. Uno branded table games including Uno Golf, Uno Teams and the fast-paced Uno Show them no mercy. I don't even know what the fuck that is. What is Uno Golf? Beach.

Look it up. We got to get into it. This might be our call. This might how we get to the Olympics, baby. But I mean, shit, if they're doing Uno Golf, they could do Uno Dodgeball, DeMeres. That's what I'm saying? Uno Dodgeball. So what's the reverse? Is it like watching the playing the ponies?

Like everyone gets to watch the game and bet on their person? Yeah, I feel like that would be fire. That wouldn't be fire? Uno Dodgeball, bet on a person? You get to bet on a person? But like absolute strangers. People that just be walking through the casino lobby. Not like the Vince Vaughn movie.

So like just strangers that like, yeah, you want to go play dodgeball and then everyone could just bet on them. The same way horses are. Or. You put people on a rig above the casino floor and you got to pick who you're going to hit with the Dodgeball. They don't know. The people down below don't know what's coming. Like waitresses with carrying drinks?

Yeah. You got to. See you wild. Like how I got kicked out of ESPN zone? You know what I mean? So making fun. Like making some shit like that. Dodgeball in Vegas is crazy, though.

I mean, they're going to bring some type of squid game there soon. That's definitely going to happen. And there's definitely real. their life squid games going on in the world for sure. But I think they'll find a way to do some Vegas casino. You all these fucking, all these fucking pan-Naz'll do it. Escape rooms, they got popping up everywhere. That's cool.

When they're going to let niggas play American Gladiator? Like, when that's going to pop up? I'm with you. Like, that would be dope. Like, as like friends, like groups, you go out and like, yo, we're going to play American Gladiator tonight? You know how fire that would be? So was it Joe Mazzula that was, did an interview recently?

that was someone like, why isn't they're going to escape the room where it's like you can reenact how they killed Osama bin Laden? He was like, yo. He was like, you're just like taking shots with your friends like, yo, we're about to go reenact how they killed Osama and you get to do the SEAL Team 6. That's hard.

Like you get to raid the house. I was like that. That's crazy. I was like, that's genius. I would do that in a heartbeat. Hell yeah. Anything like that? I would definitely do that.

Give me a paintball gun? I would definitely do that. 100. I'm fine. American gladiator. I'm near every weekend. American gladi, but, yo, that's, I'm near every weekend. Like, that's, to me, that's fun shit.

Like, yeah. I don't know if you. Escape room is cool, but I don't know. Yeah. I was on one recently on a date. After a while, you just get hungry. I'm like, yo, let me out. Like, yo, don't let me out.

Yeah, like, let me out. I was like, let me out. I'm hungry. Like, what's the answer? After you ask the people for the second hint, it's like, I'm going to get out of here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Escape the rooms. You have to have a dedicated group to do that. Yeah. Not like three people that are like, yeah, I'm with it in one person that's really down. I've done way too many escape the rooms where I'm like, you know, can we leave and go smoke somewhere? All right. So, Rory, before you go to Vegas with me trying to play Uno, I need to know.

Can you put a draw four on top of a draw two and make it draw six? Yeah. Okay. A draw four on top of the draw. A draw four is the Trump card of everything. What do you can put? And this is why I can't go to Vegas because I'm going to get to that table and you guys won't play by the right rules and I'm going to throw a fucking fit in their security.

Ma, why do you think that? Because there's a whole different card. It's a draw card, but you can put a draw two on top of a draw two. No, we all know that. Facts. So how could you put a draw four on top of a draw two? Because it's a wild. Yeah, that card is the Trump card of everything.

It's a wild. It's a wild. And once I put that down, you can't go and try to put a draw two on top of that draw four. No, you can't do that. Anyone that would do that. But you could put the draw four on top of the draw two. Draw four can go on because of anything. Now you see why that makes no sense.

It's a wild car. and it's a higher number, yes. This is why they made the rule. Wait, all right. So you follow the rules that Uno laid down for you. I mean, not all of them, but that rule? Definitely. You can't put no draw for on top of it.

No. So you just follow the Constitution. Whatever they say goes. Can I take all the twos out my hand and put them down at one time? Can you do what? Absolutely, can. If I have...

You just have to do it at one time. If I have five twos in my hand... Draw twos? No, regular twos. Any number. That's a, that's a same. That's a suit. What's sitting right there?

Yeah. You said what? What is sitting on the pile at that point? Okay. Okay. There's a green four down, right? You could put a green two followed by a yellow two. I have a green two and then all the rest of my tools on top.

Hell yeah. Absolutely. All right. All right. Thanks. Hell yeah. All right. I'm with that.

Okay. That I agree with. A draw four, top of a draw two is absolutely crazy. Y'all believe in when they said swap hands? No. That's that's that new shit that I don't like. That's some new stuff. Yeah, we take that out the deck.

All right, let's really separate it. If I put down two reverses, is it still my turn? Yep. All right, cool. Just trying to make sure we're all saying here. No. If I put a double reverse down, it's my turn again. If there's only, if there's two of us playing, yes.

If there's more than two of us playing. Playing Uno with two people is nuts. People do that all the time. If you put two reverses down. I'm so lonely. I have nobody. That's how I don't get pussy. Y'all don't sit up there and play one with your partners.

No, I'm busy getting pussy. I'm busy, fuck it. That's right. We ain't playing Oona. Okay, we're playing in this circle now. You, Pige, Josh, me, more. If I put down a double reverse in this circle, it's my turn again. No, stupid.

No, because if you put down one reverse, if it's going clockwise, it goes to mall. If you put down one reverse, that means it switches to Josh's turn. No. So, what do you mean? It reversed. All right, if we're going this way, I put down a reverse. It should go to Josh, right? If we're going this way.

But I put down two reverses. It comes back then. So from Josh, it goes right back to me. That's how a circle works. Yeah. No, bro. Agreed. It don't work like that.

It just means that it's now malls. Yo, trying to reinvent the wheel is crazy. If you're in a circle and I do a double reverse. I agree with certain rules that draw four on top of a draw two, no. Double reverse is my turn again. No. If I put down three reverses, then it's back to mall. Because technically it was never Josh's turn.

Because if it was really Josh's turn, then it would, Josh would be going. But since you took Josh's turn away from him by putting two cards down, it's not Josh's turn. You just change the direction. It's mall's turn. You just change the direction of the game. No, it's my turn to go again. Okay. That's how I play.

Well, that's why I don't play with certain niggas. Yeah. Okay. If you guys don't have anything. Well, sit there and play it one hand for seven hours, then, baby, D. That's fine. That's what you're going to be doing, seven hours, one hand. And Josh is pulling up the Uno rules.

Josh, I hate to inform you, Uno doesn't know their own rules. Right. So despite what they say, I don't. That's why I'm scared about Vegas. Are you guys a pluck to you have to play type of person, or just the one part? No, I'm not plucking to what we can play. Oh, not.

If you turn miss, enjoy the projects, you got to plug until you got some. If your turn miss, what are you talking about? You can't go. Say that again? So basically what he's saying is

if I don't have any, if there's, if it's a green four down and I don't have any wiles, any greens or any fours, he's saying I need to pick from the pile until I have a green, a four or a wild.

I've seen people play like that, but I don't like that. You pick one car? You pick one if you ain't got it's the next person. If we're playing with five people, People, that means I'm about to be shuffling this fucking little ass. Yeah. 15.

I'm not doing that, bro. You can't go. You can't go. Yeah, no, I'm not going to. Yeah. You pick one. If you ain't got nothing, just the next person go. Plug till you play.

And I'm never playing with you. Yeah. You don't go worry about it. All right. What happens when Vegas makes that the rule? Vegas is going to adhere to the rules that Uno. But Uno doesn't even know their own rules. I think Uno thinks you can't even put like any green card on.

a red, like, if the number matches, you can't even do that. No, you can. You can. Oh, all right. A popular house rule is to draw until a player has a card to draw. But this is not the official rule. Read the full sentence. Nothing about Uno is the official rules.

They don't know their own rules. How many times I have to say that? All right. Anyway. But this is not the official rule. Yeah. Got to play by the rules, man. I hate the way Rory play.

Okay. Are you guys on the same? side of teaming up with other people in the circle when someone has Uno. Yes. To ask, all right, what should you like? Let's make sure we get them. And then in the same time, then you scheme against them, like, you betray them once they get Uno. What type of shit is that? First of all, Uno is one, Uno. Meaning you're supposed to be the

one, nigga. How are you teaming up with somebody? I know, but yeah, like, it's Uno, like one. Yeah, but... So how are you like, yo, nah, he got one call left. Yo, let's kill this nigga right now. What type of shit is that? Let's say, I just played then you said Uno

before we could say anything and I look at Demaris and be like, yo, you good, you got him? What is that? That's nasty. You can't do that. Yes, you can. Where have y'all done that?

So I don't go all the way. Like, Rory asking, yo, what do you got? I'm just a look. No, just a look. But it's like, all right, if I know I got this wild, I might not want to use this wild

on him, but... But we got to keep the game going. But we got to keep the game going. But that goes without saying. But that's why I like you could pluck to you play. Because if somebody next to me has Uno and I could potentially get them out the paint, I may just pluck until I get something to make sure they don't win. And that's, but you can't do that because that is cheating.

It's not. You're supposed to pluck until, first of all, that fucking rule is stupid. But you're supposed to. You don't even know what I have. So how do you know I'm cheating? It doesn't just be. Hmm. That explains a lot.

Hmm. You could use some covers up to the model. How doesn't just get personal? I'm the first person to pluck until I make sure somebody didn't win. Nah, no, but you can't do that. Oh my God. You can't do that. That's cheating.

I played Uno with people that hide cars in their pocket. Like, what are we talking about? Okay. Cheating. That's cheating. I know what I'm saying. The honorable way of that is you don't know my hand. So if I say I don't got it, no one's the wiser.

People are the wiser. How? If you count cars in one of them? If we're waiting for you to get a green card or a four or anything like that, and then after you put down that wild card draw four, your next hand, suddenly you got four fucking fours in your hand. We're going to know, oh, you were fucking running. How do you know that?

If I have now 20 cars in my hand, you don't know what I plucked. Welcome to strategy. If you didn't have it. Just because you didn't win and I had strategy. That's my fault now. Welcome to strategy. Yo, that was the white. Yo, that's the white shit I ever heard you say.

You hear the colonization even in the Uno? Like, he can't, he just can't play the fucking game. Welcome to stay. You wanted to say niggas taught you that rule. So bad. I know. He wouldn't say, niggas told me that room. No, the movie 21 with Patrick Swayze.

It was the one that did it. Oh, man. Never playing Uno with y'all. Yeah, I saw your response to Stephen A. Smith's response to the... The response to the response. Of course, your response to the response. That it was weird as fuck? It was.

That wasn't weird as fuck to you? Absolutely weird. 100%. All right. Stephen A. Smith, which Cuomo was he talking to? I'm definitely talking one of the Cuomo Mario, right? Chris.

Chris Cuomo. You should Marriott. Pulled that out of nowhere. And just because the Cuomo family is like fake liberal and from Queens, they're still very much Bush Clinton.

There's still a last name that people need to like be reminded of. They have been in lineages of this shit forever. They still would be in skull of bones if they didn't pretend to be Democrats. So they were talking together. And Stephen A. Smith was saying, why is everyone so outraged about this list? It's a Friday night.

I'm about to do shit. This isn't going to affect my life whatsoever. I would do the same thing Trump did. This and that. It was the weirdest thing ever. We already know Stephen A is trying to find some angle to run for some form of office, I think, in the next few years. I think he's already gotten his marching orders. I think he's already in it on the campaign trail quietly.

I'm not saying for president, but some type of campaign. cabinet, something involved because he's great at speaking. And that's really all you need now in politics is who is going to be very convincing when they speak. Now I will say this is the most marching order bullshit I have ever fucking seen. All right. I'm not going to say it's marching order, but it's weird for him to say now I will say because he said he couldn't care less about the Epstein client list and claims most Americans

for the same. Now I will say, I'm not mad at him saying most Americans for the same because there are a lot of people who don't give a fuck who is on that Epstein client list. They don't care. We said all the time, people fake care about shit. They be outraged for a day and then it's right back to, you know, whatever the fuck they don't. So I understand the sentiment.

But the fact that we're talking about kids, children being raped, I've seen Stephen A care about a player not getting a max deal. I've seen him care about Mario Chalmers having the ball in the fourth quarter. Yeah, I've seen him get passionate about that and be like, you know, be, that didn't affect you know, he was busy living his life then too, but it seemed like that affected him. So, you know, this is where it's a little weird. Like, okay, you would be upset if, you know, Rick Carlisle didn't play somebody in the fourth quarter, you would seem affected by that the next day.

Couldn't even sit that night. Yeah. So we told him about, you know, men in high positions and different companies around the world who may have been on the island raping children. And Chris Cuomo just sitting there agreeing with him. Yeah, I mean, I would like to know who these people are, so I know who not to align. Somebody like Stephen A. Smith just signed a major deal. If it comes to find out that the CEO of this company that he works for, you know, I'm just saying, don't know for sure.

But if a CEO of one of the companies that he signed to is on a client list and is found to have raped children, I think that would affect Stephen A. a little bit. Well, actually, Maul, it's funny you say that. And I want to say this is the source of Jason Whitlock. So, everyone shows. But this is a fact. Stephen A. Smith works for Bob Iger, who's ahead of Disney. Bob Iger's very close with Gislane Maxwell. Bob Iger's son, Robert Maxwell, Iger, is named after Gislein's dad. Robert Maxwell, which we know if you want to get into that whole rabbit hole, which isn't

even really a rabbit hole of Gislein's dad and who he is and what he did and who he's connected to, especially with what's going on currently. But we can save that. I don't want to upset the volume. This is still a family-friendly show. as long as Colin wasn't on that list. Here's my thing, though. And of course, Trump is not the first president. Every president has done this.

But that doesn't upset you that somebody that you sort of aligned with towards the end of his campaign ran on giving us transparency, letting us know that there is a list. It exists. Clinton was doing nasty shit on there. Trump's saying, I don't even know if Epstein killed himself. Hey, the list is on my desk. You ran on giving us transparency. And then on the exact day that it's time to address that, you get mad at a reporter and say,

why would you even ask me that? That's not insane to anybody? That's not insane to Stephen A. Smith. And on top of that, it has to do with children being violated in this type of way. How on earth could Chris Cuomo and Stephen A be like, it's Friday night. What the fuck is the problem? Listen, what's wrong with you? We can keep this very simple.

Anytime you tell me children are being raped, that affects me. Anywhere in the world, if you say, yo, kids are being. right there. That bothers me. And contradicts everything that you guys said during your campaign. No, I do not think that just Jeffrey Epstein and Gislane were running this entire ring by themselves. No, I don't know if there's an exact client list where he wrote out every last thing, but you guys had files. Now of a sudden there's no files. Now they were nothing. Oh, these files were destroyed by Biden and Obama, but you said they were there before. If they would have leaked them, but none of it makes sense whatsoever. And to then just go, why is everyone so upset about it?

Listen, man, release the list. It's absolutely insane to me. And I'm not saying that I even think Trump was on that list. He's trying to protect himself. But clearly he's trying to protect somebody because he's contradicting every last fucking thing he said. Listen, man, there's a list. Release the list. We deserve to know.

We need to know. Point all these nasty motherfuckers out and get rid of them. Simple. It's not going to happen. It needs to. It needs to. It would have happened already no matter what side was in office. because I think it was both Democrats and Republicans involved with both that shit.

Absolutely. So it would have been leaked. If Biden had it and it had a bunch of Republicans, he would have put it out if it was just them. Trump, which he said he was going to do and he said it was nasty. He said we were going to find out insane things. He would have put it out if it was just a bunch. If it was Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe,

a big Mike, all that shit, it would have been out. But it's not. There's one common denominator here. That's all I'm saying. Well, death to anybody who rapes kids. Put that on the clip, it, Peach. You rape children? Yeah.

You rape children you deserve to die, period. That's the IG clip. That's it. That's the clip. Let's change the energy a bit. Shout to Clay Thompson. I mean, he strategically put himself in the background of that photo. No.

And, and. I said, it's going to be funny if that really is Clay. But it looked just like, I don't think anyone was doubting it. That was Clay Thompson. No, no, no. I mean, well, now we know it was Clay Thompson. So, I mean, yeah, but no, I mean, you know. You know, my question be, though, like, what's...

And not that it doesn't matter, but it's just like, why it got to be like, oh, like that picture right there. Like, why it has to be like this whole, you know what I mean? Like a rollout type. It's like, bro, if you're dating somebody, cool, you just dating. I mean, we don't got to give us all of this. Not how it works anymore. Yeah, but that's just, I don't know, man.

I mean, shout out to them, though, you know, if they're happy and, you know, you know, having fun and, you know, enjoying their time together. And, you know, listen, man, shout out to Clay Thompson. Shout out to Meg. But I don't know. I just, I just, I just, the whole, you know, Easter egg and is that him in the vid and pick and all of that? It's just, I don't know, man. You didn't think that was romantic? Okay, let me not sound like a hater. Yes, it was romantic. Because if I say no, that sounds like I'm hating. I'm not hating. Like, that's, but that's what people are going to say, no, but yeah, I'm, I get it, but it just, a lot of it seems staged. Like, it just seems

too staged a lot of it. Okay, but even, all right. Like I like, shout out to Donovan Mitchell and Coco Jones. I like how they did it. Popped out, he's engaged. I love that. I love that. You understand what I'm saying? I knew that they were dating, but you know what I'm saying?

I like the way, I like that. Like, yo, listen, we engaged, you know, pop out, picture the ring, you know, on vacation. Cool. Like, that's like, you know, Clay sitting down on the tan bed. Is that him? I mean, here's, I don't know, man. It's just a little staged. As much as it is stage and it is rollout stuff, whether they're actually in love or not.

Who cares? Still happens. Still, it could still very much be loved, but this is our career, so let's position it to help both of our careers because that's what people care about. This has been going on for ages. The People magazine exists because of that. Because of actors and actresses calling paparazzi to get caught, it happens all the time. So I'm not going to give them too much shit. Let's not act like civilians don't do this either with 100 followers.

Yeah, but that makes sense. people that I went to high school with and I see somebody in the background. I'm like, you staged this. Yeah, of course, but that's weird too, though. That's weird. Like when people cry. It's human behavior. It's not just celebrity.

When people cry in the camera and you know that they had to do it again. Because they mess up the first one. They mess up the first one so they got to stop, delete, cry again. Like, you know the videos. Like I saw a video one the other day, somebody I followed. And she posted a video of herself like laughing at something she saw. And I could tell, like you can see that she started laughing. soon as she pressed record and it's like,

delete that. Because now I'm looking at you like you're a bozo and now you think you're cool in real life, but this is some bozo shit you're doing. Did you see the video, Josh, I'm going to send this to you right now of the single mother making herself cookies or a cake on her birthday because no one would do it for her. She was crying while baking cupcakes. See?

It's his illness. And then a guy did the single. father version and in between stopped crying, changed the lighting. It was one of the funniest fucking videos of exposing people crying on camera is absolute bullshit. It's crazy, man. It was a whole production of her crying making the cupcakes. There's no way you just do that on the spot to set up your entire.

Oh, I remember this. That's, but that's like a mental illness, though. I think it is. It definitely is. He's setting up the late. But because to even do that and start crying is insane. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's putting pre-workout in this.

Okay. And then you got to stop. Bring the light. Yeah, bring the light closer. Yeah. Start crying. Are they mentally ill for doing it? Or are the people who watch that and feed into that mentally ill?

Oh, no. You're going to find your tribe, DeMaris. Mentally ill is going to find them. Oh, yeah. That's the biggest. It's called a cult. They make a lot of money on that. That lady.

I think that lady has over a million view. on that and you get paid by views. Because, well, yeah, because people are going to share them. Like, look at this dumb shit. Like, you know, it is what it is. But, like, the people that be in the comments, like, I feel y'all cried watching this, mentally ill. Yo, setting up lighting to cry is crazy.

Yeah, man. I'm telling you, that's just a different level of just, like, you just need this attention. You need it. Like, you're going to go crazy if this video only gets 20 views. Somebody commented, crazy thing. Her husband made a response video. She doesn't even have custody. of the kids.

Oh yeah, I remember what was going on. Yo. Mentally ill, man. Shout out to the mentally ill, though. Also, again, I just think putting pre-workout in your cupcake flour is the funny issue. You know, why not?

Before we get to voicemails, I do want to hear Mall crash out at Bleacher Reports top 100 NBA players of all time that came out today. Wait, what? Not see, y'all be trying to pull me into these arguments, bro. Don't. It's called production. Don't pull and don't.

Don't show me no list. If they don't have Michael Jordan number one, I don't even talk about this. Okay. Michael Jordan is number one. All right, cool. Then we can talk about the list? Can I give you, can I give you one through 11 ironically? Okay. Number one, Michael Jordan.

Number two, LeBron James, three, Kareem, four, magic, five, Russell, six, Shaq, seven, Duncan, eight, bird, nine, will, ten, Steph, 11, Kobe. Blastomy. It's It's insane That's blast me I feel like Bleacher Report

called into complex and said how do you stirling Lastfemy First of all Have you Tell us what to do With this list

I know you know Nothing about sports complex But shake up this list For us This is no No No Abs of fucking Lulian

Lebron James Is not above Kobe He's not above Kobe at 11 Is fucking insane Yeah this is black But you know

Maybe shuffle that top 1011 shuffle it and I'm not mad at it but yeah those names are definitely probably in my top 11 um minus probably bill russell he's probably not in my top 11 just because that's all heads are gonna hate you well I mean that's just way before my time old heads got bill Russell and number two I mean and I'm not mad at it because they they were you know that was a part of their you know error like so they have a different you know connection to it but I me personally I wouldn't have Bill Russell in my top 10 personally. How do you feel about-

I'm not mad at it though. Basketball, if you just talk about the game of basketball in the history of the NBA, because this is the top 100 NBA. So you can't talk about the history of the NBA and not have Bill Russell in there. I'm just saying me personally, I don't know if he's in there above.

He's definitely not in my top 10 above Kobe Bryant. No, absolutely not. How do you feel about Yokic at 17, above Dirk? Above Dirk? I'm not saying when it's all said and done and Yokic career is over. Nah, I can't put him above Dirk. Dirk. Dirk had no busy beating that Miami Heat team, bro.

I still don't understand. I still can't believe Dallas beat that Miami Heat team. Like that was, you're talking about D. Wade, Braun, and Bosch in their prime. Like, that's the fact that he beat that team to me, he's definitely above Yokage, for sure. How do you feel about the logo being at 15? Yeah, he only got one. You only got one ring here. I get it.

But nah. Kobe, number 11. Jerry West is not better than Dr. Jay. No. Absolutely. It's like, can we? Well, Dr. J. I get what Jerry West did.

No, Dr. Jay is after he's after Jerry West. That's what I'm, I'm saying Jerry West is not better than Dr. J. Dr. J is a better player than Jerry was. Dr. Jerry, what? I mean, shit, they got him before fucking Dirk and Yoghage. and cage yeah no this is this is bullshit Dreymour

8th Dremont Green is number 88 on the top 100 Dremont Dremont Dremont got four rings He got four rings

defensive player of the year a bunch of the first team All NBA defense Like he got the resume I mean, he's not going to score a bunch of points, but he's going to impact the game. And he's a big part of those four rings. He absolutely is.

Yeah. So, I mean, you know, I know the name doesn't jump out at you. It's not sexy. But if you look at his resume, Drayman, Hungarian is definitely like. For sure. Huge contributors of four rings. One, 100%. But, like, let's go through Alonzo morning stats.

Like Alonzo, that's kind of crazy to me. I got Draymond above Alonzo. Interesting. I will put Draymond Green above Alonzo. Dr. Monzo got four rings, bro. And he's not, he wasn't just on the team. He's in the start. He's the anchor of the defense on those four teams.

Okay, Alonzo Morning has been the anchor of how many. No rings. Well, no, he got one with, did he get one with Miami? I think, was he got one, right? Yeah, but he wasn't a big part of that, though. Yeah, but he was the entire Miami heat franchised before that, unless you think Eddie Jones. Yeah, but they didn't win no rings, though, before Shaq got there.

I'm sure there's a bunch of players on this top 100 that don't have rings. Draymond Green got four of them. And he's a big part of all four of them. He's a defensive anchor on all four of those teams. We can talk about Steph, we could talk about Katie, we can talk about Clay Thompson. You don't win those four rings without Draymond Green. First of all, his playmaking ability, which I think is underrated. And definitely without his defensive, just defensive IQ.

Okay. I will say then right next to him is Tony Parker. Tony might need to be high up on that list. That's what I'm saying. Because I'm with you. All right. If, if Jermon with the rings,

cool. Tony Parker has the rings, the stats, the impact, the legacy. Yeah, Tony might need to be high up. Tony might need to be high up. Tony might need to be high up.

But that's not a knock though, because 100 players is not a lot. When you think about the entire NBA, the history of NBA, that's not a lot. It's been a lot of great players to come through the NBA. But, you know,

we just, Kobe Bryant is not number 11. But we could just... Can we find their... What their scoring sheet was, like what they based it off of? They're not going to give us that. Their criteria. They're not going to give us that.

Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 is big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so you're just saying,

I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Now you're finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah.

For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything,

But at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to eating while broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app,

Here, the Nick Dick and Poll Show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Kugler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is?

I don't know. You mean it to like the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president? You think China has a president. Those law cruzette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time.

I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that saying. It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying.

Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was. I got that wrong.

You've got mail. Of course we do. These are sponsored by Boost. Who? Boost. Good. Boasted. Hey, everyone.

It's Damon from Maryland. I'm a listener who invited you guys to the wedding last year. So I have two quick questions. The first is needing a piece of advice. So I'm in an interracial marriage and without even thinking about it, I call my wife nigger at least once a day. And we're at the stage where people are asking us, Wait, hold on.

What was that? What did he just say? Hold on, hold on. All right. Josh, we don't have a conversation, like mid-production.

No, no, no, no, no. We'll have a pre-production right now. We met this lovely couple. I remember. At Howard Theater. Yeah. The husband is black. Yes.

The wife is white. Yes. White. She's a, yes. I won't say her last name. Yeah. But I had to ask Pete from Hot 97 if he was related to her because it was in the same town. Yeah.

So, yes. Everyone calmed down. I just, I, they called me of God. I was like, wait, what did you just say? But okay, I got it. It's, this is not a situation where the husband is white. All right. That's what I was.

That's what I was. I was. Okay. Yeah. All right, cool. Go ahead. I joke and say, I can't wait to call my son, little niggum. But we're trying to figure out what's the best balance of making sure

that our future children are able to appreciate and have both sides of our respective backgrounds, traditions, and a lot of that can be different when you are interracial. So any thoughts on that would be appreciated? I mean, I'm probably going to say this one, but I do want to say again, Damon, I was looking for your email before. We did send you guys flowers for your wedding. They just weren't delivered. And I don't know if that's a Chevy Chase thing, but yeah, we did send them.

I wanted to prove and show you the receipt, but I couldn't find your email in this. But now that we have it, and I want to make it clear, he's black. Okay, got it. Being biracial is such a cheat code sometimes. Okay. Because it's like if my dad is black, my mom is white. Uh-huh. Like, I can say, right?

But then it's like I have to spend some holidays with the white side of my family where, you know, it's like, you know, but you can get that off. It's like there's nothing wrong with that. Like I've grew up in, you know, uptown with bi-racial kids. And didn't even know they was really biracial until, like, you meet their parents. Like, oh, shit. Like, your mom, like, you would never know just playing ball with him every day in the park. Like, he's, his mom's white. You know what he's saying, though.

You know what he's saying, though. Like, he's looking forward to, like, you know, using that word with his son. And it's like, and he can. Why can he? Would you call him all that? You and I'm not. See, yeah, no, no, I definitely would not. But your case is different.

though because you're Amaro's mom she's is she key is biracial yeah okay see that's where it's a little yeah yeah you get what I'm saying it's a little different there but Kia is as far as like identity forward facing a black woman for sure for sure but yeah and she can say and she can say the N word I mean I'm not the one that's allowed to make those rules but yeah but she she she can and she she does yeah this is what I'm saying but if she called Amara that I probably laugh it'll be a little like wait would you just say like it's like it's just like it's a little weird. I would probably laugh. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. But I would smack Amara if she said

that shit. Right. She's not allowed to say that. Right. But if Kia called her that, I'd laugh. Especially because Amara is so forward-facing white. She should be like, you're calling her that is fun. But I mean, all my black friends called me that my whole life. But listen, didn't they crack the code? Aren't Ginger's scientifically black? No, that was a joke. Ask. Oh, it was? Yes. I thought they traced it back to like Africa. No, that was. They didn't? What wasn't a joke? They did do a line of history. Whether that's true or not is what the debate was.

Oh, okay. It wasn't like an actual trail. I knew they actually like history. Like dug into that, though. Like for real, I knew they were researching that. It depends if it's accurate or not. That's really all it was. All right.

But I mean, you see, I didn't lean into it because I don't know how accurate it is. Yeah. You got to do your research. Try to be on the right side of history. Listen, man. You need to reuse. You should be the one to research that. Every time I bring up the research of what the Irish went through,

I'm told to go sit in the corner. And I agree. Well, that's only because you try to like, on the, like, how we just did the bleach report, top 100, you try to push that up like, it's like, bro. We call me at 11. Debatable, yeah. I get what you're saying there. We called me at 11.

You got an argument. Y'all got an argument. You're right. Go to the West Indies. A bunch of Irish colonies and they are based off one and one thing only. Yeah. And it ain't, we were not the masters. You got an argument there.

You're right. But, yeah, this is more of a you and Demaris call here. I don't know what to do this gentleman. Just telling him from the white. I would probably laugh. Yeah, I would definitely, if my child's mother was white and I had a biracial kid, I'm definitely calling my son. Yo, what's up, nigga? Come here.

Definitely. Yeah. Why not? Because it's your kid and maybe you shouldn't just say that to your child. How are you supposed to talk to your kid? You're supposed to have that relationship with your kid. What's their name, though? Like, maybe just call them by their name.

Jaden, Caden, Braden, Neveaa. Oh, yeah. Those are some names you had. Interracial couples love it. Aiden. Yeah, I think that might check out. A lot of mixed-race kids I know is definitely

Aiden is in there. Mm-hmm. For sure. Okay. You got a point. Nevea, Jasmine. I don't know about Nevea. Oh, they love heaven spelled backwards. Wait, I never even put those two and two together.

This is why you want the spelling be. Holy shit. Wait, Nevaeia's heaven backwards. Oh, my. God. I want to spell in me first of all, but. I never put that name. Who was the first person to come up with that? That's a nigger for sure. That's nigger shit. I know nigger shit when I see. Because that's heaven, the Bible, church. Yeah. Nevea, black woman. Definitely named her daughter

Nevea. It was the first one. Without a doubt. Yeah, but if your kid is, yeah, what's up, nigga? How was your day? Yeah. Why not? It's my son. but what do you think that conversation is like with the child once they become of age and aware? And like, that's how one parent talks to them. And then I'm like, hey, Aden. No, we would have that. We would have that talk in the house.

Like, you know what I mean? Like, you can't call nobody that, but I can call you that. I'm not sure of this lovely married couple that we met. I assume this is like their baby reveal. They have a child on the way. He's preparing. Congrats, by the way. Sometimes the crap shoot.

with interracial couples. Like, sometimes you could look like Kia. Sometimes you could look like me. Yeah. I wouldn't get ahead of yourself. What does he look like? That could be a very white fucking baby. You don't know that yet.

What does he look like? My man Alex, interracial. Yeah, he calls his white wife, nigga. That's what I was saying. When I was growing up, everyone called me that word. That was not white. All my black friends called me that way. I'm so glad you cleared out.

Yes. My black friends called me that forever. Oh, for sure. I know that. Some of my white friends use the word. Don't get it wrong. Yeah. Yeah, I was called that all the time. I just don't. You know what I love? He shouldn't get ahead of himself because his baby could be very fucking white. He just doesn't know you. I just love how people get so like uneasy about this conversation like that.

With 2025 and people are still like when that word comes, oh, you can't, what? Shut the fuck up. It's uneasy for our, to our listeners. I know if we were off mic right now, I wouldn't have to explain that to you guys. No, definitely not me. I mean that. But yeah, you have to explain to the listeners. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it.

I totally understand that, yeah. But, you know, yeah, I mean, I guess it's fair game for anybody at that point. To Damon, what does your child look like? If your child is, you know, looks more like me than Rory, I think it's okay. Just don't call your child a nigger. Why are we, like, why are you calling into a podcast? Like, to ask that. Like, why do you want to get.

that off so bad. Like, you know what I'm saying? Why you want to get that off on your wife so bad? Shit, just weird to me. I don't know. I could be high. Oh, and that shit ain't weird. Shit weird. It's weird. It's weird. It's weird. It's weird. It's like, boy when people act like at this point. It's like, bro. Why is it so important? It's not important. It's just like, they're making it was not important. It's just like he's laughing at that. Yeah, I think he's like half kidding as well. He's kidding. Like, that's where I find it where when people like, oh, you can't. Shut the fuck up, man. Who cares about? I don't. about that fucking word, man, get out of here. It's not that, to me, it's not that serious. We know. I grew up in the Bronx, but I also grew up

in a very mixed culturally environment. Yeah, you was letting them niggas get that off. You shouldn't have. Who? But we've had that conversation already. In my hoods? Dominicans, Puerto Rico,

are you kidding me? And if you want to go through the history of Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, we all black. If you want to be black, well, then that's a whole other conversation. But I'm saying in my community, we all black when it's time to say.

In my community, the people I grew up with, we was definitely family. Like, without a doubt. do whatever I would make the vice versa come to my crib, same shit. That's why I don't get offended by Dominican Puerto Rican using that word

because it's like, bro, I grew up, like, to this day, those are my brothers. Like, and it's a word, like, it's not that serious. To us, it's not that serious. That was the first, remember the first controversial N-word Spanish thing when J-Lo said it with J-Rul? I thought MTV was about to meltdown.

Yeah, they were not how to act. It gets so uneasy about that. I was like in eighth grade or junior high when that came out. And that was the first time I had found out that Spanish people couldn't say. I never, my whole life I'd heard Spanish people say. I just thought it was white people couldn't say it. I was like, wait, Spanish people can't say that shit? I can promise you when Fat Joe said that and lean back, nobody was offended by that.

No, that was sort of a combo, I remember. Half the niggas in the squad got a scorn. Nobody was like, he said. I can promise you that. Not Fat Joe's addressed that before because he got by the phone. Like, Fat Joe, you want to see, have you seen his crew? Some of his best friends? Like, are you, he's from the Bronx?

Are you kidding me? Yeah, like, bro, cut it out. We all grew up together. We all family. Like, cut it out. So Jenny from the block can't say it, though. J-Lo? Yeah, she can say.

She's from Castle Hill. She definitely said that she growing up. Are you kidding me? She said it with Jaru. She might not say it now because, you know, she's in a different world and, you know, just. Do you think she called Ben that? I think Ben called her that. With his Boston accent

Don't put that on Ben You fucking That was also not a Boston accent at all. Yeah they put like khaki, nigger, nagga, nagga, nagga, naga, nigger. I don't know how they say it in Boston. They would say it the way Mark Wahlberg said it and got arrested for. When we talk to Millies, did Millie say he uses? No, his message doesn't.

Don't put that. Don't put that on Ben or Millie say it. No, I'm just joking with Ben, but I'm trying to think of Millie's, I don't, Millies has never said it. No, that's someone that listens to Millie's. I've never heard Millie said it. You know, I'm looking about his boss. Millie's never said it.

No. He's never said it. And if you see his crew, niggers, for show. I mean, listen, I'm out of this entire conversation. I think couples should do what they want to do. Depending on which your son looks like. I think the word has a deep-rooted, disgusting history. If your son looks like, Rory, probably not the best idea.

Okay, but if you go through, Canello looks just like Connor. Mm-hmm. Does it matter about the image? What does it matter about the roots? Well, neither one of those gentlemen are using that word. So. Nello's definitely using that word. Nah.

And Connor's probably using it too. Now, him. As he's sending dickpicks. Yeah. Azealia cropped out a certain part. I'm sure he went on after he saw that Azealia exposed it. And he used a word. That is fucking crazy, man.

Well, do we have another voice, man? Sorry, Booth. The thing is I got my wife floor seat for the upcoming Boys Mine tour when it comes of Baltimore this fall. Boy's mine, okay. Now, if there's one person, my wife loves more than Brandy and Monica, it's Demaris. Oh, shit. So, maybe if you're up for it, we'd love to know if you'd be up for accompanying her

for her surprise birthday gift to the Brandy and Monica concert. Love the pod. Appreciate everything. Thanks. I think you're trying to have it. Tracy. You have to. You, all right.

No, you beat me to it. That tricycle is the first thing he was thinking of. Tracy Murray. What was Tracy McGrady? What was he on the list? He's going to be 45. He'll bump up a few spots. Trying to get that Rob 49.

You going? I will definitely go. He might not want to take me now. I called him weird for wanting to call his son a nigger. So he might take that back. But if it is in a city near me, I would love to accompany. No, you got to go to. It's Baltimore.

Baltimore. Baltimore? like Maryland yeah no the other Baltimore I'm gonna pass I'm actually going to pass why I am very appreciative why you're not going to see Brandy and Monica in Baltimore because I have a I have a very busy schedule I can't you ain't got you don't even know what date the show is yo yo baby D's stop this shit yo what date is the show it's don't look at your fucking it's August no no no no no no no no cut this shit baby D I have a very busy

either. November 2nd, 2025. I'll be in Miami. No, you will not. You won't be in Baltimore. No, I really, I really got to go to Miami.

Yo, baby, deed, she don't want to be funny. I'm being funny. I'm being dead ass. Just say you don't want the threesome. That's all. I'm trying.

I mean, he's not being more. Because he's going to want you and his wife to act like Brandi and Monica and what y'all get home. He's the boy. I.

Boy is mine. I can't. Oh, it's a Sunday. I definitely can't go to. I can't do that. No, we got to work on Monday. I'll pick you up. From Baltimore.

That shit's right there. What are you talking about? Baltimore is far. Three hours I'm lost. That shit is three hours from here. If you fly me out, I'll go. 40 minute flight. That's fine.

That's why I said if he flies me out, I'll go, but I'm not driving down to Baltimore. Yeah, 40 minute flight. He'll fly you out there. Put you right on spirit. 40 minutes. You got a spirit for 40 minutes. I'm a spirit for 40 minutes. I'm a spirit for 40 minutes.

There's no way there's a spirit flight from New York to Baltimore. There's no way. Spirit does that flight. Why not? Look it up. I'm willing to bet they do. There's no way. If not Frontier got it.

They don't have enough planes to do a 40 minute flight like that. You bugging. They ain't got planes. Spirit. NYC to Baltimore. Ain't no fucking way. That's sick. They got one?

I'm looking now. Yeah. $72. That's cheaper than driving or taking the train. That's cheaper than my Uber. Maybe I'm not flying spirit to Maryland. It's a 40-minute flight. It might be less than that.

Baltimore is already spirit. It's $72 or it's $19 a month. Yo. Layaway and the ticket is crazy. Putting the ticket. That's not, first of all, don't do that. And this is for tomorrow. If you do this in advance.

I've put tickets I layaway most people have. Who is judging people on layaway? He just said putting a ticket on layaway is crazy. I just wanted to clarify. But I was ashamed, man. I'm just saying the fact that that's an option, like, yo, so you ain't got no excuse. I'm not paying for it. I'm saying?

So he got that. He got $72? Yeah. Sir, if you want to fly me out to Maryland to go to the show with your wife, I will go. All right, cool. Baby, they're going. But between the flight, the hotel, the all that, he don't want to pay for all that shit. What you mean?

The flight hotel. The flight is $70. The hotel is going to be $200. $300. Cash for a night, he got that. You're saying for a night like the night comes with me with anything else other than me going to the concert. No, I'm just saying like he got put, you keep trying to put sex trafficking on the man.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm just saying he can get you to Baltimore for the show for the night. He can get you that's a light ticket. This is so funny with Spirit. I put in the actual dates and everything is N.A. Because they just don't know if they're going to go there yet. Like you can get a $70 ticket today to go to Baltimore. We don't know in November if we're going to have a flight at that time.

Yeah, you know. All right, so we out. I'll go with you. Now you're $19 a month. Oh, why are you cock blocking? He's not, no, no, no. Okay. You don't think I got something in Baltimore? I'm not saying you don't, but I'm just saying you.

I'll fly with her and they'll never see me again. Okay, I thought you were you was going to go to the show and all that. No, no, no, no, no. There's only two tickets. Okay, got you. No, I'll just go to ball. I'll get some crab cakes. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
