Starting point is 00:03:15 Alone. That was actually very funny. Turning to a barber shop. Plain old white eggshell paint ceiling. Yep. Red rose white ceiling. Right from Duane Reed, those roses. 1399, right there.
Starting point is 00:03:27 And you went to Duane Reed to get something else, so you forgot what day it was. He was like, you know what, let me just grab these. Oh, you some of the wrong rose, boo. That's what I said. That's a lot of people Valentine's Day. Red Rose. white ceiling. Yeah, you missed
Starting point is 00:03:41 a lot. You missed that. Maybe there's another entendre. Yeah. I was speaking from my perspective, from Palantan's Day.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Are you guys celebrating Valentine's Day? Demaris, I would never in my life celebrate anything with a bunch of other single men. Like, you'd think I would get together
Starting point is 00:03:57 with other single men and, like, unity? You've definitely been in unity with other single men before. And y'all don't went out to find women. I mean, as a younger, yeah, as a teen,
Starting point is 00:04:08 or as a younger man, yeah, as a grown adult. I don't know if that was unity. That was more just a common goal. Yeah, that was just, we didn't, we'd had no other choice. That was just it. It wasn't like a unity where if one person couldn't get pussy, the rest of us wouldn't. We'd all go and then we'd venture off on whoever won that day. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:26 There was no unity. Everyone was leaving each other once the goal was met. It was every man for themselves. Yeah. We went together, but we all had our own agenda. The GPS is the only thing we had in common. No. At that point.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Well, it's supposed to be like, like, if a girl hitting on you, like, you know, you get her number or stuff like that and be like, oh, I can't leave with you. Like, I'm with the guys tonight. Who said that? That's how we do on Galantines. Y'all say y'all can't leave with you on with the girls? Yeah. Y'all do not say that.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Only on Galantines Day? Only on Galantines Day? Yeah, we're gathering together like there's no boys allowed. Y'all, okay, at the Galantines, there's no boys allowed. Yeah. Y'all leave there and go meet up with a man. That is not. Y'all don't spend the night with each other on Galantines.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Sometimes girls do, yeah. Not always. But that's not the point of Galantines. It's not a sleepover. Well, doesn't have to be a sleepover. No, but a lot of us just leaving and go home alone. No. A lot of women go to Galantines Day and think in their head,
Starting point is 00:05:16 I want to spend time with these single bitches. I want to be my man. Yeah. Fine. Fine. I don't show face. And what does a single woman do at Galantines? Like, if all other friends are, like, in a relationship, like, what is this?
Starting point is 00:05:26 We're at Galantines. They're talking, drinking, catching up, you know, women, community. There's no crying. Who the fuck is crying at Galantine's day? Somebody cried at Galentine's before. Oh, my Lord. That's being a bad way. We're at home.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Oh my God, I love my support system. No. I found my tribe. We're there waiting to exhale. Yeah. They cried on waiting to exhale. Trying to slip in waiting to exhale. Like, they actually cried.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Did you see that movie? We exiled, yeah. We exiled together. You have a Galantines you're going to? Not this year. No. I don't have any of them going to this year. I wasn't invited.
Starting point is 00:05:57 And I didn't throw one. So do I ask the other question now, since you're not going to Galantines? Are you doing? You can, you, there's plenty of people who do Valentine's, who also do Galentines. It's not Valentine's dependent. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:08 All right. So is love in your face this Valentine's Day? I have, I have Valentine's Day plans. Yes. I do. Round of applause. Do you? No, no, no, no, no. Fuck the flowers. Fuck the applause. Fuck up. Fuck up. Boss. The May. DeMere's having a date is nothing to clap over. That's regular. No, Valentine's Day. No, I don't. Oh, right. Round of applause from all. He does not have. Jesus is Valentine. See how simple that was? No, I don't. I don't have a Valentine's. Why? Why? Why? I don't know. I just don't have a Valentine's. It's no like real theory or anything behind it.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Just don't have a violence like this. Chilling. What about next weekend? Like what if you have like a date next weekend? What does that consider? That would be. If you have a date next weekend. It's just a date.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Yeah, if you have a date next weekend. But you can also, sometimes people are busy on Valentine's Day so you can reschedule and be like, hey, we'll celebrate next weekend. Valentine's Day is every day when you love who you're with. That's true, yeah. You get white lotus with your favorite, white roses? White roses. On a Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:07:08 On a random Wednesday, white roses for baby D. Yes. But, you know, sometimes it's nice to feel like, you know, like a Valentine. Like Cupid shot you again. It's like renewing your vows. I don't think it's anything like renewing your vows. No, it's like a reminder. Like, okay, yes, you love me every day.
Starting point is 00:07:22 But, you know, prove to me, just a reminder. Just a special reminder. I hate that men trying to make it seem like Valentine's Day doesn't mean anything. Like, oh, it's just another day. I hate that. I would never say that. I think Valentine's Day is important, especially in relationships. I think it's a day to profess your love with the rest of
Starting point is 00:07:39 the world on the same day. Like, let me see if I could outdo my homeboy and what he did for his lady today. You know what I mean? It's just a competition. To me, that's what I don't like about Valentine's. I think Valentine's Day is important and should be celebrated,
Starting point is 00:07:50 but it shouldn't be the pressure of what everyone else is doing. Like, dual works for you. Yeah. Even if that means, yo, can we do it next Saturday? Mm-hmm. Like, I do think it's important to set us out a day
Starting point is 00:07:59 to celebrate those things. But we can get into the Hallmark conspiracy. But other than that, yeah, it's important, but not because of Instagram. Baby Dee, if you have, But if you had a boyfriend and he couldn't hang out on Valentine's Day, honestly, would you be upset? Like, say work, he had to travel, he had to do something. It would depend on the day.
Starting point is 00:08:18 It would depend on why you couldn't do it. Like work or something. Like, he had to, like, fly to London for a conference. He had to fly to London. For a conference. Yeah. Okay. Why am I, bring me to London?
Starting point is 00:08:30 Bring you to work with him. I mean, if you're going to be at work for, you're going to be at the conference for maybe five hours out of the day. It's 19 hours left of the day. Mm, okay. So go, so fly with, fly me to you. But you want to be together no matter what on Valentine's Day. Not no matter what, but if, if possible. Like if someone's dying in the hospital, like, no.
Starting point is 00:08:51 It has to be drastic like that. Or, yeah, something like that. Stage three, no, stage four acceptable. But you can't, it can't be work like keeping you from Valentine. What do you do for work? What do you do for work unless you're playing in like the fucking All-Star game? What do you do for work? Look at the bar.
Starting point is 00:09:06 It has to be. Like, no, I'm saying. Like, what are you do? for work that you're going to be a 24 hours on Valentine's Day on a Saturday. He's a what? Like a traitor, like a Wall Street guy. Wall Street guys don't have to go to London on. I've seen the Wall Street movie.
Starting point is 00:09:20 They were in London for one scene. Okay. What if he works the lighting rig for like a group that's on tour? And they're like on the road during Valentine's Day. And it's like a concert that night. Where are we at? Fly me out there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:33 So it's like you want to be there though. Yeah. Okay. But if he's playing an All-Star game, you don't mind. staying home. No, I'll just be in a stance, but technically we're not spinning it together. You're on a court. I mean, I feel like those friends and family tickets are tough at Valentine's Day. Oh, really? Okay. Okay. I mean, but... Do anything to avoid spend the time with y'all bitch. Well, first of all, if you're comparing to gentlemen like me, uh, I think it was two Valentine's days
Starting point is 00:09:55 ago. We were in L.A. to shoot all those My Commerce beautiful. I flew her out, still did the whole Valentine's Day thing while we did while we were working in L.A. We were there for the whole week. My point. Honorable. Still did the, got my favorite masseuse in L.A. It's a good man.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Got a private chef. I did the whole Valentine's Day thing. He did. And still got to record boss. My point. I just feel like Valentine's Day is the same day every year. It doesn't change. It's not like Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:10:23 It's the same day every year. You know when it's going to be. Not the same day of the week, though. Okay. That changes things. Everybody's off for Christmas. Okay. Maybe I have something to do on a Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Okay. What do you have to do on Wednesday? If you have to work on a Wednesday, what time do you get off? You get off at some point. I'm doing a double. You doing it? You doing a double? That was the day you picked it to do a devil.
Starting point is 00:10:43 That's what I spent on the calendar for a year. I'm doing a double. Somebody called out I had to cover. Like what you want to do? I feel like stuff like that is understandable. Like if your partner can't be with you for Valentine's Day, as long as they have a good reason, like, that makes sense. It's more, it's never the partner. Like, it's never the person you're in a relationship with.
Starting point is 00:11:00 It's when you're dating or in like a situation. or you find out how much people really like you around Valentine's Day. That's when you're like dating. It's like, ah, hold on. You find out how much people really like you around Valentine's Day. Too much pressure. Niggas start getting weird around February 2nd. What they start doing?
Starting point is 00:11:20 Niggas, I haven't seen men pick fights. February 2nd, that's the long game. Yeah. Usually I remember that on the 13th. Like, oh, fuck, tomorrow's Valentine's Day. Yeah, he's slow walking at. The second he started arguing? That's honorable, actually.
Starting point is 00:11:31 You got to drop you got breadcrumb to argument You gotta point out what you're gonna be pissed about later You got a foreshadow He started arguing February 2nd That means he put y'all relationship in the crock pot For sure He's slow cooking 10 hours setting too
Starting point is 00:11:42 He putting you right in the crock pot I'm gonna put it in on the second And let us slow marinate to the 12 And then we're gonna call it like We need some space And then March 1st To be like things were weird I was sorry
Starting point is 00:11:54 I was just a weird time I was depressed People people deal with it People deal with it people What does your shirt say? world's best ex-girlfriend. Yo, you like the grinch that stole love. Like, you like the grinch of Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Like, that's, what's wrong with you? What's love? I figured it was Valentine's Day theme, so I wore it. World's best ex-girlfriend. I like that. There's something to honor. Nobody would, none of my exes would disagree, so. It's one of your exes that's like, she's lying.
Starting point is 00:12:28 What does it entail to be the world's best ex? And is that something that someone currently dating you should feel the way of it? Baby, do you've never been the reason like you and, you and somebody didn't like work out or broke up been the reason like I did something like I did like it was your fault like you did like it was something and he was like I'm offset um I got broken up with before but that was because like he he cheated on me and I forgave him but then like when I when he forgave me like he went through my phone and I ain't really forgive him so wait wait what does that mean you didn't forgive him because I ain't really for I was he pissed me off he pissed me off so I started like I was he caught me on a bad he caught my phone on a bad day. Like, you ever just getting... No, no, no, wait. Don't let baby these a glossom. What does him call my phone on a bad day mean?
Starting point is 00:13:10 Bro. Her eyes was at least you didn't delete everything. Like, what is that mean? At the time, I was around 18, I was around 18, 19. Okay. And you know when a nigga, like, or just period, when you get pissed off and your ego gets hurt and you just, it's like you send the same text of seven different people. I was 18, so I had like seven different niggas in my phone, right?
Starting point is 00:13:28 Okay. Was in a relationship, but I hadn't talked to none of them. But he caught me on that one day when I text them all like, hey, how you doing? because he had pissed me off so bad. So those niggas that hadn't heard from me in years, but I sent them all the same text message. Boy, he caught, he the wrong. When he asked for my phone, I just naturally was like here.
Starting point is 00:13:44 And I was like, wait, never mind. He's like, nah, shorthy. So he didn't see it? He saw it. He saw it. I tried to take it back. He grabbed it. Kick me out of the house.
Starting point is 00:13:52 I was crying. Yeah, but 18, that's something to understand. Yeah, I was 18. I don't even count that as you being broken up with. Because in that forgiving, cheating, gray area, who really knows what's going on? The relationship is on rocks right there. She knew what was going on.
Starting point is 00:14:07 She knew exactly what was going on. So that was the only time that you ever got broken up with. And any other time after that and in your relationships, it's been you doing the breaking. Oh, no, my ex broke up with me, but not because I did anything wrong. He broke up with me because he knew he was making me miserable. That's nice.
Starting point is 00:14:24 He knew he was making you miserable. So why not make you un-miserable? Why just leave you? The world may never know. The world may never know. But, yeah, he knew he was making me miserable. So he left me. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Well, happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers out there. Yeah. If you were recording this on Thursday, tonight at midnight, we get some toxic love music from one of our favorite Brent Fires. Mm-hmm. He's dropping some of his best toxicity tonight. And Pige was telling me I didn't see. So if I get this wrong, please blame Pige and not me. I saw some of the producers were Raphael Sadiq, Mike Dean.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Who else did you say? Benny Blanco. I mean, Raphael. I mean, Raphael Sadeek and Brent is an interest in... I like it. I like it. I like Brett and Benny too. Give me a little pop-bop.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Pop-bop. It's very funny. I'm not mad at that at all. Brent is attention. And when Mike Dean get in some of his dark bag. Yeah. I'm with that. Like, I love to hear that those are the three.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Oh, Chad Hugo is on there. Tommy Richmond is funny. But no, I think Tommy Richmond does actually produce, though. Mm-hmm. No, this looks great. Fave, I know Fabe is dope Yeah, these are all great
Starting point is 00:15:37 Is Berg? Is that Hit Mega? No, I think that's probably just so. A different bird? I'm sure it would I'm sure it would say HitMaker. They would have put Young in front of it. This must be Old Berg. Okay, mastering and engineering Mike Dean.
Starting point is 00:15:48 But when Mike Dean does that, he usually produces as well. So don't flame Peach. Mike Dean is still somewhat of a producer if he's engineering the entire project. I'm excited for this. We talked about our last episode. Now, I'd say we get the Jill Scott to whom it may concern album as well at midnight to balance out some of that toxicity.
Starting point is 00:16:08 But some of y'all be forgetting that just because Jill Scott is over a Neil's soul beat, she getting her toxic bag, too. Yeah. I love a good-I think y'all have Jill. Like, none of y'all are really listening to Jill Scott. Jilly from, no, Jillie from Philly. That's Jilly from Philly. Yeah. I love a good toxic Jilly from Philly album.
Starting point is 00:16:26 Aries, Aries women. Yeah, because Jolia break your heart and then she'll, like, make you tea and, like, some intents. and shit. Try to make you feel better as you pack your shit and get out of her house. She's one of those that she'll be mean to you
Starting point is 00:16:37 or break up with you and be like, now why'd you make me do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why do you? Look what you turned me into. Look what you made me do. Look what you made me do.
Starting point is 00:16:52 You made me throw all your shit out the window, see? You made me, I didn't want to do that. The whole house is ashes. Yeah, now all the neighbors know our business. Now you have nowhere to live. The neighbors know all our business now because of the world.
Starting point is 00:17:01 of you. I'm here for it. Features on it are Jid, too short. Too short. We're going to get some talk to shit. Oh my God, okay. Abso, Tierra Wack,
Starting point is 00:17:11 and Trombone Shorty. I love that Tierra Wack is on it. You guys already know how I feel about her, both Philadelphia. I think that's great. Ab, too short, Jid, that's, all right, we don't get some rapping on here.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Yeah. But I like what she did with Conway. Like, Jill is always good even with the newer rappers. Yeah. But I don't know, man. I can tell just by how she's smiling on this album cover.
Starting point is 00:17:31 that she's, yeah. That's the way baby, we're not safe. That's the way Baby Dee smile after she did some fuck shit. 100%. Same smile. I'm telling you,
Starting point is 00:17:38 that's the Aries women make the best, like, toxic music. Her, Summer Walker, Ari Lennox, Jasmine Sullivan, all Aries women. I would have never known all of those women
Starting point is 00:17:47 with Aries women. See the things that women pay attention to you? Y'all pay attention to those small little details. Like, y'all are here verse and be like,
Starting point is 00:17:53 yo, what's her birthday? That's what women do. When was Jill Scott born? Are Aries women in music to Gemini men? Who are the Gemini Men in music? Let me see. Kanye Pock.
Starting point is 00:18:05 It's like a weird, it's a weird list of Gemini men artists that it does make sense. It's, it's psychos in a good way. I'm not saying it in a bad way. But there are a lot of, was that Paul McCartney that came up first? Tuvachicor, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Paul McCartney, Prince, Bob Dylan, Seelow Green, G, EZ, Fettywap, big. Andre 2,000. Ice Cube.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Damn. Yeah, there's, there's a wild. Gemini list for sure. Okay. I love that they listed G-Easy before 3,000, but you know, maybe it was alphabetical order. Before Andre? Or three. No matter which way you slice it. Yeah, I never knew that about all of them. That does check out with R&B Women with Aries, but I'm very excited. I know there was always rumors that her and Premier were working on an album together. I don't know if some of that made this or, but they didn't put production stuff. I only saw the features. But I don't know which one. I got to see what mood I'm in or even if I'm awake
Starting point is 00:19:06 at midnight tonight to which one I'm going to throw on first. You be sleep before midnight sometimes? Most nights. Most nights. Yeah. Yeah. I wish. Maul text me.

Starting point is 00:19:35 What's up? You was buying me a gift for Valentine's Day? No, it was the same question I asked you earlier, but I wasn't sure if that was in men's or women's. Oh, okay. So I just had to make sure. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Thought I was going to wake up to a gift from all, you know, since he don't have a Valentine. I thought he was going to ask me. I do respect that you, like, answered it and like didn't send me like European size. You know, women love to do that. I'm a 36. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Oh, I stayed. I send the list. No, no, no, baby. No, you got to send a list when you first start dating somebody. I send a list of European sizes, regular sizes, everything. You send a list of your sizes? Yeah. Women don't do that to you?
Starting point is 00:20:11 Send me a list of their sizes? Yeah. No. Like, just off, just like, if I didn't ask, they just send it. Well, if you ask for one size, they give you all the sizes. Like, if you ask for my sneaker size, I give you, like, the European shoe. Your waist size. All that.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Your waist got to do this. What's your waist got to do with your feet? Because you're eventually going to need it again. So you could just copy and paste it. it and put it into my notes and put it into the notes underneath my contact so that you never have to ask me again got it very prepared you're very you played a long game i like your style like you're very you're like we're gonna get this all out the way now when she sends you that note go up to the share button and see other people in that shared note move man why you was trying

Have you ever done anything nice for a man on Valentine's Day? Mm-hmm. I'm not here. I'm not here to make this, uh, women don't do shit on Valentine's Day. I know women that do things, but it's not just because men don't post it on social media the way women do. But what's something nice you've done? I feel like, why is it that, I don't know. I feel like Valentine's Day is for lovers, but I don't, like, what would y'all want on Valentine's Day? Y'all don't like the robes with your name printing on them. No, thanks. I got one for my
Starting point is 00:21:27 birthday. I know. You got a couple of them. I never wore it, though. Mm-hmm. But you don't want cologne. Y'all have all the colognes that you need. Mall pull out the robes like Mr. Rogers, just different colors, same one every single time. I got mad robes. Every birth.

Starting point is 00:21:48 The only thing silk in my house is my du rags. That's it. A silk robe? No, I don't have a silk robe. It's a du rag. No, that's too much silk. On silk sheets. Silk on silk is crazy.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Yeah. I'm not mad at them. I know I get them, but like as a full-time sheet, like maybe for one night we could throw some silk sheets on. But for like your regular sheet, that's crazy. Yeah, last time it was on silk sheets, I was like, listen, I run hot, baby. I got to take these shit off the bed.
Starting point is 00:22:16 I'm running too hot to lay on silk sheets. Like, silk sheets, that shit will make you sweat all night. Having sex on silk sheets is literally a safety hazard. You just slip in a slide. Ain't no grip. Need on got no grip. That's all right. I'm right behind you, though.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I'm right by so you fall off the bed I'm right behind you We can finish down there Don't worry about it Right off the bed with you Yeah That's funny I feel like mall
Starting point is 00:22:39 I could see mall like renting a hotel That specializes in water beds For Valentine's Day I can see him do some shit like that You are kind of old though I'm not that old You're definitely the heart-shaped You fucked out of water bed before
Starting point is 00:22:52 I don't think I've ever had sex on a waterbed Really? I've slept on a waterbed before But I don't think I've ever had sex where were you at that you were sleeping on a waterbed? I forgot somebody I know had a water bed and spent the night there. I was young, I was probably like,
Starting point is 00:23:07 like 16, 17, 17. Oh, okay. And I was like, that was the first time I was laid on the waterbed. It doesn't, it's not as crazy as people think it is. Like, I don't know if you have it, have you ever laid on the waterbed? I have, yeah. I haven't. It doesn't move, like, as much as you probably think it does.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Okay, then maybe we're on different water beds. My friend's mom had a waterbed. And, yeah, I had, like, we would play on the waterbed as fun, because this shit would move constantly. No, it moves, but I think people think it moves more than that. Sleeping on that shit would have been insane. We used it as like a toy. Like, it definitely moved.
Starting point is 00:23:38 This was like the night, like mid-90s to late 90s. So I don't know if they improved. I never understood the purpose. Who was the purpose? Like, is it comfortable sleep? It's just like an air, like like the kind of soft, the foam mattresses and the memory foam. It's just kind of the same, the same concept of when you lay down the, the, mattress just moves to your contours to your body.
Starting point is 00:24:01 It's kind of the same thing. But it's like it definitely moves more than a regular bed. Yeah. Like a memory phone definitely moves more than that. Like my mattress is like it's like the whole mattress is like memory foam. But it's not like a waterbed. It's going to you're going to, it's going to move. Like you feel yourself moving.
Starting point is 00:24:19 It's going to rock a little bit. But I remember the first time I laid on it, I was expecting to be like, I feel like I was on a boat. It wasn't like that. No. iPhone ever.

Starting point is 00:31:40 But I got short a tugged career with the bag, the carnival bag. Showing up to Shorty crib with roses. and a goldfish in a bag. At least bring the tank. You got to at least bring the tank. You can't just put it in a bag. You got to bring the tank.
Starting point is 00:31:57 That's actually not a bad idea. I might steal that. I might get a fish tank and some fish. Wait, because I got questions. Do I show up to your door with water in the tank? No, the tank got to be in the box. You have to be holding the fish in the bag. Okay, so put the fish that's in the bag in the tank and carry the tank to your door.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Yeah. No, fish in bag, flowers. one hand, tank, other hand. Tank like the little bowl? Yeah. No, you gotta get that. That's like solitary confinement for a fish. There's a reason why golf is dying a day.
Starting point is 00:32:26 There's no filter in it. How big is the fucking fish? No, but just it's like you want to have, you want to have like enough. A grouper. Like a girl, a grouper. It would be the funniest thing. Yo, yo, but no, but you need to take
Starting point is 00:32:41 at least the size of the table, right? Like, so yeah. So the fish got. But I thought you said. No, but the gift you could continue to give more to more fish so now every every holiday he buy me another fish like a pandora bracelet charm that's kind of cute i didn't know like this girl i was dating she had turtles and i didn't know that turtles like eat goldfish really what they only have like six hours to do it fucking turtle
Starting point is 00:33:05 it was it was it was flakes all in that motherfucker i was like yo i didn't know turtles do that when i was really young this was around i think uh the soda was surge so just to put in place what year it was party favors at her friend's birthday party were goldfish in a bag they should die before I could get home they just gave a bunch of kids goldfish in a bag yeah somebody else did that
Starting point is 00:33:28 it was like a fish oh they gave a little bowl too but they gave it in bags like what do they call the table when it's on the tables party like I know what she's talking about sentence yeah whatever the fuck those are called
Starting point is 00:33:41 like then they was letting people you could take it home if you wanted to I did that for a baby shower and I kept my fish for like a good like five, six months. And then my dad told me he was like, like one day he was like, baby, I'm sorry. I went to go check on him and he was floating on his back.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I was so sad. Yeah, my nephew had a goldfish that was like almost lived for two years. Oh, that's, submit that. That's a record. Yeah. Submit that. I'm serious. It only died when my sister moved to Virginia.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Like, she bought the fish from New York to Virginia. And then she got to Virginia. Yeah. She was changing the tank and it died because I guess the water is different. She was like, yo, she put the water, the fish back in the tank. And she was like, it just started going crazy. How does she, like, explain that to him? Like, how you explain the death of the fish to your child?
Starting point is 00:34:22 It was like, oh, I don't know. It was his time. Can't get in the way with God, I guess. Just put everything on God with kids. Like, God, you know, he needed a goldfish up there in heaven. All goldfish go to heaven. All goldfish go to heaven. He needed a goldfish.
Starting point is 00:34:35 He needed a goldfish. The fish tank and fish gift could backfire, though, especially if you start buying more of them. Because, like, if you guys break up, get this fucking fish out of my house. like that's a process. That's not just like picking up your shit. The whole tank? I have to take a whole tank out and then I got to figure out how to transfer this fish.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Like, no, I'm not doing that. Even if you give a cat or a dog, that's easy to just get in the car. Come on. She doesn't like us anymore. That's a lot easier than water. Transferring water to your ex's house. Get these fish out my house.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Can you give me the weekend? I have to prepare for this. Yeah, because people don't really become attached to fish like that for real. Like I don't know if my ex give me a fish. I'm going to be fighting with him for custody of the fish. Take the fucking fish. Fighting over the fish. That's great.
Starting point is 00:35:16 That's hilarious. If a girl called me like, can I have my fish? You can definitely come to get this fish. I don't get a fuck about this fish. But if you're in an argument, like, you can, in anger,
Starting point is 00:35:26 just grab your hoodies, like, I'm getting the fuck out of here. Imagine trying to, with the net, like trying to pissed off, trying to catch the fucking fish. Swimming away.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Yo, that would piss me off. That would piss me clean the fuck off, bro. You just sitting there like an idiot all angry. She's just looking at you. Trying to take your fish back.
Starting point is 00:35:44 This is wild. Keep the fish, man. Let that girl have that. Or if we live together and you got some shit like a snake. But I ain't even fuck with no nigga that like snakes. Can we talk about people that own like snakes and shit like that? Like is it time having a conversation about them? They want attention. What's wrong with people that own snakes?
Starting point is 00:35:59 Like what's up with those people? Why do you own a snake? Like what you're doing? Yeah, house smell funny all the time. Because you're going to somebody's crib. You know when they own like an exotic pet. You can smell it from the door. And I don't really feel like you're an animal lover like that.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Like fish are kind of retarded. So if you put them in a good size tank, they're none the wiser. A snake isn't that dumb. You put them in a little ass fucking, that's abuse to me. Why do you own a who? A snake? I know. Like, you can't even play with that shit.
Starting point is 00:36:28 It don't fetch. It don't do nothing. The fuck you got a snake for. That's just weird. Owners snakes like that, that whole, the lizards, those people. And they all got the same aesthetic. People that own snakes and lizards and shit like that, they all look alike. There's one bad bitch that we both know that threw me all.
Starting point is 00:36:45 off when I found out she had a snake because she didn't have any she wasn't a snake with traits like she didn't have any of the traits you would think she didn't have gauges she didn't know none of that shit it threw me off but then like the more I got to know her I was like oh your personality is like this because I'm with I'm with demaris of the one attention thing because I never even understood the people that stood in time square in the summer with a snake everyone that's out there doing shit to get attention from tourists is there for money the snake guy just there like you just there. Like they not, you know, it's a dollar to hold a snake. Nah, they just be standing there with a sleeveless leather vest on and just like going like this and shit. Yeah. And everybody
Starting point is 00:37:23 that owns a snake got their tongue pierced. You ever noticed that? Mm-hmm. That's like a tail-tale sign. A girl got a tongue piz, she definitely owns a snake. And 2026, she owns a snake or a lizard. One of the other little, whatever you want to call it, Komodo Dragon. The little Komodo dragons. She owns one of those. The little Komoto dragons are cute. I don't fuck with reptiles. Don't bring no reptile on me, but the Komodo dragons are cute. You know what a Komoda dragon is? Oh, no, no, pull up a Komoto dragon. Let me know if you want.
Starting point is 00:37:50 It's what inspired Godzilla. Let me know if you walked in somebody's house and they had a Komodo dragon in there. Do you know what the Asian population? The little dragons. What are they called? No. Dragon flies? Gecko.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Gecko. Whatever. I'm going to look it up. Fuck you guys. A lizard. A chamellion? A little lizard. I think you're thinking of the camillian.
Starting point is 00:38:10 The one. that can look everywhere? No, the one that can look everywhere. But they have like little pet like dragons. Because my friend had one and they're called dragons, but they're not obviously not the Komodo dragons, but whatever. I think you just saw a gecko. Nobody has a pet Komoto dragon.
Starting point is 00:38:25 No. They're literally, I think, on one island in the whole world. Yeah. And it's illegal to go there. Whatever. That's fine. But yeah, those people are. Oh, Chinese water dragons.
Starting point is 00:38:35 That's what they're called. Chinese water dragons. That's what brought COVID over here. That's it. Yeah. Yeah, I would just call that a lizard. Yeah. Yeah, that's a lizard.
Starting point is 00:38:46 More or less. I don't know. I'm not the amphibian fan. I don't know about the amphibians like that. But you could find those. You could catch those in Fort Lauderdale by yourself if you want. Yeah. Yeah, those, they fall out.
Starting point is 00:38:55 They run in the parking lot. They've been falling out the trees because it was so cold in Florida. Really? Yeah. You didn't see that. People were just collecting. They are falling out the trees. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:03 But all I agree with you, frogs, turtles, all that shit. Like, shit like what owns a frog. Because we having frogs. Nobody owns no frog. before. Huh? I had a turtle. Peach looked like he had a fucking turtle.
Starting point is 00:39:13 You had a turtle? He had a peach would own a turtle. What was his name? Damn. She didn't have no fucking attention. He didn't even love his turtle. Leonardo. Definitely was Leonardo.
Starting point is 00:39:27 I was watching tires with Shane Gillis and he had a turtle named Jerome Bettis. Old and a turtle is wild. I never understood that shit. I used to think people just wanted attention, but then I realized people want something that they don't really have to pay that much attention to. Well, snakes, you can bring outside to scare people, and that's where you can get your attention. Like, oh, I'm the snake guy. A turtle, you just bring a turtle out in the street. You're like, what you're doing with a turtle?
Starting point is 00:39:50 Only Puerto Ricans bring their snakes outside. Like, they're in the parade and they take pictures. Yeah, that's like a Puerto Rican thing. Puerto Ricans love that. Oh, did the got got to come out with a turtle, a snake around his neck for the Super Bowl. That would check out, though. Yeah. Everyone would be like, that's culture.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Yeah, come on, man. Is there still got got a snake? Is there still got a Puerto Ricans in the Bronx? Absolutely. In like the early 2010s, that was like, they was running the Bronx. Absolutely. They keep swords on them and shit. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Trench coat in the summer. It's like, who is this nigga, man? This nigga going to this crib, straight Puerto Rican. Like, I thought you was white all this time. No, when I would be on Christopher Street, like at the tattoo spot, it'd be nothing but Puerto Rican gotts from the Bronx. Yeah. Like, yeah, what's you doing this far downtown, though?
Starting point is 00:40:33 Only when the sun is down. They're Nightwalkers. Only when the sun goes. they have to be back to the Bronx by sunrise or they melt. You know, the Puerto Rican god epigenic in New York City was insane. They got to be back to the Bronx by sunrise, although they turn back into Puerto Rican. They used to terrorize, they walk around with like tasers, not for safety or anything.
Starting point is 00:41:01 No. Just to just, they tase themselves. They listen to that music. You know what they're getting together in the park and they just tase each other. They're in a park tasing each other. It's definitely It's like the intense kids that play Quidditch in the park
Starting point is 00:41:17 That's the gang version of that And those group of Puerto Ricas The God Puerto Rico They do everything in the same shoes They play ball They go to the club They go on a date With the same boots on
Starting point is 00:41:30 They don't give a fuck And it was like awesome rebounders Like the God Puerto Ricans They led the Bronx and rebound Oh they led the Bronx and rebound for sure And that's such a good point They were talented at pretty much everything.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Hell yeah. And for some reason, especially in that era, they would pull bitches. Yeah. Like, they always had, they were always with a girl that had no business being with him. Like, you would never assume
Starting point is 00:41:51 that girl would be with him. You could tell when Agaat, Puerto Rican had a date, all he did was slick his hair back. Oh, 100%. He just turned to a greaser. Yeah, that's all he would do. He'd be pony boy for the day.
Starting point is 00:42:05 You're like, where you go? He got his hair slick back. He's on a date. Yeah. He'd get a, his west side story bag. He let his head down when it was time to play handball. Hey, I'm Puerto Rican, so I can talk this shit.
Starting point is 00:42:20 I don't give a fuck. I get my shit off. And I'm racist. Oh, my God. Anyways, where were we out with Valentine's Day? Valentine's Day plans. That's what God, Puerto Ricans get for Valentine. They buy you a snake.
Starting point is 00:42:34 They show with a little ass snake wrapped around their wrist. They'd be at the altar with that snake around their wrist, for sure. Oh, my God. Wow, I didn't know we was going to talk about goth, Puerto Ricans today. That's hilarious. It's an epidemic that isn't, and I don't see them anymore. Yeah. Like, did Bloomberg get rid of him?
Starting point is 00:42:54 Who got rid of the Puerto Rican Gulf? If Bloomberg didn't, Mom, Donnie sure will. Yeah. I'm sorry. No, he might bring them back. My bad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Or do we think, like, the pop and Dominicans just took over? Because I just stopped seeing it.
Starting point is 00:43:08 After 2013, I didn't see Puerto Rican cops anymore. You don't see Dominican Goths. No, God, no. I've never seen a Dominican goth. That's not a thing. Puerto Rican gods, 100%. Dominicans, they don't bet. Give it some time, though, because Puerto Ricans were in New York for so long
Starting point is 00:43:23 that they had to start to evolve. Yeah. And other things, give Dominicans a few more years. They might get there. They might catch on. They'll be sick of La Marina and start to figure out what the Lower East Side is like. Yeah, it's no gods in Dyckman. No.
Starting point is 00:43:38 No, that sounds like a movie. No Goths and Dykeman. Yeah, what is wrong with Chaukhammer? the name of Favs next mixtape that he puts out on Halloween. No, Goths and Dykeman. Now playing. Oh, all right. Anyways, Jill Scott.
Starting point is 00:43:55 That's our Valentine's Day plan. Well, DeMaris won't tell us hers, so. Well, I'm going to check in with you, baby Dee, tomorrow, just to make you having a good day. Well, tomorrow's, okay, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? You could check in with me Sunday. Nah, because Sunday, you might be, you know, that might be a recovery day for you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:11 You might have had a long night. stretching. No. No, because Sunday's like an easy. Sunday's an easygoing. You chill. Everybody relax. Yeah, I don't want here for my boss on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:44:18 I'll see you Monday when I come into work. All right, cool. That's a bet. All right, all right. All right. Well, we got some Valentine's Day voice mails, baby, D. We do.
Starting point is 00:44:25 You've got mail. And of course, this is sponsored by Boost Mobile, the phone line for lovers and friends. Everybody knows that. You can have your ring back to be lovers and friends for free right now. Use code Rory and Mall, boostmobile.com. Yo, what up? Demaris, Marriss, Mar.
Starting point is 00:44:42 Roy, I want everybody opinion on this. So I'm beefing with my girl about going out on Valentine's. Today, Saturday. King. I'm nothing. I don't want to be outside amongst all these people fighting and competing for the same type of shit, right? You're going out to dinner. Everybody trying to get the same meal.
Starting point is 00:45:02 We all fighting with our service and shit. I feel like every time I'm going on on Valentine's Day, it's ended in an argument. Or it's ended with me being upset at my service at dinner or, You know, there's also little events out here in the west side. And, Kali, you can do some stuff. But, man, I've never had an experience that I felt like was worth my money. Another thing. On the day, it's Saturday, they're going to be taxing help.
Starting point is 00:45:28 So I'm going to get to the point. My whole suggestion was, oh, let's just go out on Sunday. Saturday, we could, you know, we could kid back, do the thing in the crib. And then Sunday, let's, you know, I'm saying, let's enjoy the day. Let's enjoy each other. she's not fucking with that at all. And I'm like, from a woman's perspective, what the fuck is the difference?
Starting point is 00:45:51 I'm going to keep it just to that. Peace. To me, that's proper logic. I'm not going to say man logic because man logic is just actual logic. Female logic is, we have to do it the same day as all the motherhose. I mean, it's Valentine's Day,
Starting point is 00:46:10 not the day after Valentine's Day. It's not Valentine's weekend. It could be. It could be. It should be. It should be. I'm with them. The only way to escape this is try to find something creative
Starting point is 00:46:22 where a bunch of people are not going to be, but if you want to do the dinner date shit. That is a real thing, though. I agree. Especially if you're in a major city, like, nobody's trying to go out and do that. Like, for what? It's not even an enjoyable experience
Starting point is 00:46:34 when you're on top of everybody. I tell people all the time. Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are probably the worst days to try to go out and get dinner reservations and this stuff. It's everybody. We love moms.
Starting point is 00:46:44 We love our, you know, our partners and all of that. But especially if you're in a major city, it is like a lot to be moving around in that type of traffic. Like go to a restaurant. You could have reservations, but it's like you get there. Your table might not be ready on time for your reservation. You have to wait. Then when you, you know, you do get your table. The server is packed.
Starting point is 00:47:04 So the server is like, you got to know, get everything in now. Order everything now. Don't keep calling for the server because she's working 10 other tables. Then the traffic, like driving, it is a lot to move around on those days. But how do we get around that? How do we say, babe, look, we don't want to be out with the rush. Can we do the day before Valentine's Day? Can we do the day after Valentine's Day?
Starting point is 00:47:28 Like, there has to be, you know, we don't have to go out for Valentine's Day, but we'll do something nice at home, whether it's flowers or, you know, maybe even try to go get a massage somewhere, even though that might be a thing too, another headache. but like dinner restaurants we got to find an alternative to kind of try to avoid that rush and having to sit and deal with that traffic on Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:47:50 So what I told my homeboy because me and my homeboy had this conversation when he was talking about doing something special for Valentine's Day, he had the same issue as him. The day after is going to be just as busy and so is the day before. Like let's just be fucking honest. So that's not avoiding anything.
Starting point is 00:48:04 If you want to do something at home, you got to make it special. And this is where men's creativity or lack thereof can fail them because women love super cute shit. If she knew that in the house, you were going to decorate the house and make it look all types of crazy. And then like you guys go and you go and pick up her favorite food or hire a chef to come and make her favorite food. There's ways around that. There's ways to make it special. But you have to put a lot of effort and like creativity
Starting point is 00:48:31 into it. And not just we'll go to dinner tomorrow. Like this sounds like a really respectable and amazing man. Speaking as one as well. Sometimes it's. tough when you do that on the regular because now it's just another day like I've set up the house I've cooked I've done all that like just on a Tuesday yeah now it's down on like now it's definitely my bad and it's only for selfish reason so we don't need to leave pick me pick me I'm I'm I can't be picked hmm that's like you know I do that on the regular I you know I do that no that's light work for me yeah so that's where it gets tough when you know you're somebody as incredible as I am that it's hard to top just a regular day.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Yeah. So, you know, it's either Turks or this. I don't even know. Yeah. Yeah. Sir, feel that. No, but I'm dead-ass. I really have done like the set up the whole house cook.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Like I do that shit, not on some pick-me shit. On some regular, like when I'm in a relationship and someone's coming home from work. Like, you know what? Let me set up the house. Let me get the Nerf guns together. Let me do, like, we did the naughty elf shit for Christmas where you do all the, the funny scenario. Like, I'd like to do that type of stuff in general in the house.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Especially when you have a kid. There's only so much you can fucking do. Yeah. So that makes it even tougher when you have to get creative for the in the house setup type of thing. Like, like, I built a fort for a Mars birthday just for, you know, because we built fourths. Yeah. Can't build a four for Valentine's Day. You can.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Sir, if you're thinking of what to do, fill the bedroom with balloons. And when I say fill it, I don't mean four balloons. I don't mean 10 balloons. Fill the bedroom with balloons. Like, you know when you walk in a balloon section, a dollar tree, and then you show on balloons, balloons float into the ceiling, do that. Put roses all over the house. Go now.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Go now. Rose pebble go over. Make it a thing. Like, make it, what would look extra to y'all is the type of shit that girls would. Like, make it a thing. Then put her gifts in the middle of the bed around the rose petals and buy her, her favorite food. Go pick it up.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Or make it. Like, there's a way to do it. without just, yeah, we'll just go to dinner tomorrow. Yeah. There's no creativity in that. Sometimes a staycation, like, you could get a nice hotel for a reasonable price just for one night. Not on that one night is not going to be Valentine's Day. I don't know if he's in the, like I don't know where he's at.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Oh, yeah. For some places, yeah, you do like a staycation. He's in Cali. Well, I mean, it's like, what, the third biggest state? I don't know. You got to go. I don't know what that means. You got to go further out.
Starting point is 00:51:06 You got to go further out. You got to go further out. Just find a hotel or further out away from it. Is he in Barstow or? reason, West Hollywood. Yeah, no. West Hollywood, you can forget about it.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Yeah, no, for sure. And at that point, a staycation doesn't even mean anything. But if you're in, like, a certain small town I want to drive 30 minutes, like, I think that's kind of cool. Yeah, that could be cool.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Find a hotel with a bathtub you may trust. And, you know, get some rose pedals and shit. That could only run you $300. Yeah. Get some nice takeout. I think that's a cool way. Yeah, it's a cool subject to.
Starting point is 00:51:33 I'm not mad at that. And if you want to go to dinner the next day, just make sure for Valentine's Day, do something like, however many, years y'all been together, write her a love letter for each year y'all been together. Like, or something. That's nice, too. Get creative. Like, just
Starting point is 00:51:45 get creative. Like, girls just want the effort. The dinner is not. If you think that that food is what the fuck she gives a fuck about on Valentine's Day, it's not. It's the effort. She's one of those that likes to Instagram the plate. Then you got to focus on that. And Chanel never hurt. So, again.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I don't think that he's talking about that type of girl. I'm just saying, you get something. You get a perfume from Chanel. You get something. Just the box. Once they see the box, the Chanel box, like, you know, all is forgiven. no matter what it is just Chanel he went to Chanel for me okay all men should invest in a projector
Starting point is 00:52:16 that's the cheat code they're affordable you can bring them to random locations and you can watch it and it becomes a whole romantic date if you can find an outlet and a projector and a space that it can project on
Starting point is 00:52:29 the sky is the fucking limit just have all your pictures together and memories flip it right over to whatever you want to watch projector is a cheat code yeah it gets gives you so many options to be creative. Make her a playlist for all the songs that remind you of her, even if you lie in.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Just make her a playlist for all the songs. You really think of an Eminem puk, but you put something else. You cool. We have another voice, ma'am? We do. Hey, what's up, y'all? It's Taylor. I have a question.
Starting point is 00:53:01 So what do you do? It's Valentine's Day. You're dating multiple women. I was just about to say Taylor's going to say this. Yeah, let's just say two. You feel them both of them. You've been talking to them both of them about maybe equal amount of time. Which one do you choose to do Valentine's Day with?
Starting point is 00:53:20 Do you split the day up? That's sick. Do, like, which one will get like the side chick Valentine's Day? How do you determine who gets the day? If you pretty, you like them both equally, but how do you figure this out? Let me know. Oh, that's easy. Whoever's not on their period.
Starting point is 00:53:39 I'm sorry, baby, Dee. It's okay. It's okay. choose neither, kill a grandparent, and then spread it out next week. Split the day. Split the day is the sick. That's sicker than what Moll said.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Whoever has the best sex. Jesus. What I said is sicker than what he said. Splitting the day is nuts because you're going to fuck multiple. Split the day is crazy. Not everybody fucks their valentines. Oh, you fucking on.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Who? It's the point of the day. Who ain't getting sex on Valentine's Day? So you don't know if Taylor is sleeping with both of these people. I know Taylor. I know Taylor. I know her personally. You don't know Taylor.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Like I know. She's having sex. You don't know baby, Dee. You don't know baby, Dee. She's having sex on Valentine's Day. Yeah, no, you go with the one, I guess, that has, because you like one of them more. Let's just be clear.
Starting point is 00:54:26 She said this equal. We have to go. You don't like nobody. You don't even like your kids equally. Let's just be real. Let's just keep it real. You don't even love your kids. You got multiple kids.
Starting point is 00:54:37 There's some of the niggas. You're like, yo, he's going to be the one that's going to piss me off the most. He's going to go to prison. He's going to make him. it, she gonna be a whole, you know your kids. Like whoever you like more, whoever you have more of an attraction to, whoever you have more fun with,
Starting point is 00:54:50 whoever you enjoy the time with more, that's who you pick on Valentine's Day. Because I know Taylor very well, I think she's saying she likes them equally because she knows which one she likes more and that's the one she shouldn't be liking more. And she's keeping the other one around because that's probably the better one for long term.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Taylor liked the one she shouldn't be with it. Yeah, yeah. So she just said equal. Nah, go go be with the demon, Taylor. Yeah, you know who got the best head. If you're not going to split the day, then you just got to make yourself unavailable and then do something.
Starting point is 00:55:24 How do you split the whole? All right, so what? Split the day. Have breakfast for one and dinner with the other one? Yeah. Yeah, if I go, if a girl told my shoe, I'm, I actually be my Valentine's, and she said, yeah, but we can only do something for breakfast. No, you just say, you know, hey, okay, I actually, I have,
Starting point is 00:55:44 to go hang out with my mom. She said, you know, it's my grandmother's birthday on Valentine's Day. Who is that working on? I'm only available until 5 o'clock. I feel like from five, oh, Taylor, that's what you do. The 13th, spend the night with the one that's for the day. Because then you can start on the 13th night. You can do dinner. Y'all wake up together. Y'all wake up together on Valentine's Day. Yeah, you'll wait till midnight. And y'all good. Wait till, exactly. And are you going to leave on Valentine's Day? we spent we've been together all night we wake up together and then 5 p.m. I already told me got something to do on Valentine's Day.
Starting point is 00:56:21 What do you have to do on Valentine's Day? I got to work. I got to work. I just at the top of the show I said I got to go to fucking. I'm lighten the fucking lighten the fucking YouTube of London. And you told me to take me with you. I don't feel like a woman will complain if she was with you the night of 13th. Woke up with you on the 14th spent the whole day with you a woman. You ain't going for that.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Well, I'm a little different. No, you're just a woman. Like, there ain't no woman. Your man spent a night with you on 13th. The day of the 14, my, yo, I got a five o'clock, I got to be out of here. That ain't working. That's your baby. Don't sit hell up.
Starting point is 00:56:50 That's not working. That is terrible advice. If she makes special, well, first of all, that's not her girlfriend. That's the thing. She's dating these people. A girlfriend that's different. There's certain expectations there. So this is dating.
Starting point is 00:56:59 But are you just dating. A person who likes you, who you're just dating, will be happy to wake up with you on the 14th. Y'all went to dinner to 13th. Wake up on the fucking 14th. Y'all together all day. And if she leaves later, is she probably leaving to go link another bitch? Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Right? This is in our head. but that's not my girl. I can't say nothing about it. And on top of that, she made my last night and my day so perfect. Everything is so perfect. Then what can I do? You tell you I give really good gifts.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Baby D. Leaving on Valentine's Day is never the option. That's never the option. I don't care if you spent the night with me on the 13th. It's the 14th. Where are you going? We got mad shit to do today. We got mad fucking to do.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Like we got to, what? You're not leaving on the 4th. That's Valentine's day. What did she leave at like 8 p.m? That's even worse. 8 p.m. Restaurants are still open. This nigga got a neck full of cologne
Starting point is 00:57:48 waiting on you the other niggas. You're not going nowhere at 8 o'clock on Valentine's. A neck full of cologne so funny. Also, you nasty. If you leave at 8 to go link someone else, no time for a shower. You have mad time for a shower. You could make dinner plans at 10 p.m. in New York.
Starting point is 00:58:02 See, baby, D. And picturing, I don't care if that shit. Queen, somebody just fucking, picturing that person running to their fucking house to shower, to change her, redo her makeup just to go. Taylor is not. redoing her makeup. Taylor is Taylor.

Starting point is 00:58:49 just say you're not available and don't do nothing for neither, buy gifts. Man, Taylor, who got the better sex? That's who you roll with. The Valentine's Day is made for good sex. If your sex whack, you're probably home watching reruns of, I don't know, if you got no good box. Let's just keep real on Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day show with a box of chocolate.

You know what Dykes watch, man. All right. I feel like we helped Taylor. Taylor, we gave you a couple options.

Don't 14th show both of them you're not doing nothing. Just to, but that's updated. Send them for you all I'm doing this show that you're not with nobody doing nothing and then spread it out.

Stay home and binge watch dog the bounty, honey. You'll be fine. Watch this darkness all around you. The criminals are all the run.

Starting point is 01:01:16 Josh was a rolling stone. Clearly. Sickening in beauty. The hold in your stomach because you're not the one holding her beauty. The wicked beauty that bewitches knowing the headaches caused
Starting point is 01:01:26 with numerous hypothetical thoughts that now run through it. Damn in beauty. Because you were a follower of Christ now hurling curses to the Father. Why is this blessing so motherfucking far and out of reach? And why the fuck am I not favored
Starting point is 01:01:40 to be up under her? Deathly beautiful. Because life without is bland and abysmal and I didn't see true light until I was blinded by you, and yet you're all I see. Profound beauty. Because only a muse could arouse,
Starting point is 01:01:56 stimulate, and amuse such abstractly unique praises from within as if she were my nervous system itself, forming these involuntary movements that move me beyond recognition. She is truly beautiful. Happy Valentine's Day, baby D. Hey, Vic Minza, if you don't get the fuck out of it, man. you know he picked the orange before he started that.

Starting point is 01:11:09 girl on Facebook. We chatting it up, matching it up, cool. I asked her, like, how old is she like 23? At the time, I was 29. It just turned 30. So it's like a six, seven-year-old gap. I got a number when we texted. Like, you know, let me take you on a date on Friday.
Starting point is 01:11:25 You know, we can go out to eat. We can go out and down to the afternoon. So club, bar, something, you know, something like, she's like, cool. So Friday come, we've been texting all the day. She went to, she went ghost for, like, couple hours. And like, an hour before the day, she's like, yo, Yeah, you know, I want to bring my friend on a date. And, like, if she had a own boyfriend, it's going to be, like, a double date?
Starting point is 01:11:44 She's meeting us there, like, what type of situation? She's like, nah, just to come. Just to come? She got just to come money. Like, who's going to be paying for this extra amount? I ain't really equipped for this. So I ended up dead, and I was like, I felt like they were trying to get a free meal out of me. And I was like, no, I didn't.
Starting point is 01:12:00 So I text her back. I just like, I don't really feel comfortable with your friend being there about. We're trying to get to know each other, you know. I first meet up, you know, thought it was going to be kind of intimate. Mind you, I wasn't trying to smash, none of that. Yeah, you were. And I just talked to my sisters and saw my home girls. I'm like, there's got to be a young hoes situation.
Starting point is 01:12:17 Like, there's got to be shit that the young hoes do the way they want to bring their friend everywhere with them. It's like how they say smokers got to smoke before they do everything. Young holes got to bring their friend with them everywhere. So my question to y'all is, what age, what younger age are you all comfortable dating legally? Y'all, how he'd get there? He said all of that to get back to the age, you know. Wrapping up that whole story. Well, I think he fumbled the bag.
Starting point is 01:12:43 That's what I thought. That might have been a Tracy waiting to happen. That's what I'm Tracy. I thought the tricycle was wheeling its way down. I think you might have fumbled that, bro. He might have fumbled that. That might have been the Tracy waiting to happen. Or, you know, it's a thing where women, you know, first time meeting you,
Starting point is 01:12:57 she does not comfortable being alone. She want to have a friend there with her. Like, y'all could have did something light. You could have went to, like, a nice little lounge or something. So maybe I misunderstood. It sounded like they had went on a date to eat in a club, and then there was the restaurant with a friend. No, he's saying that.
Starting point is 01:13:14 That's the plan you had. This was their first link. Got you. That's why they first link. I feel him, though. I would be fine with it, but I see his perspective. I kind of be like, I mean, all right, whatever. So first date, it's not like we have any type of label or any real understanding.
Starting point is 01:13:30 If your friend want to come, then we just link it. Yeah, but he didn't want to do that. No, I understand why he wouldn't. It seems like a money thing for him, which I understand it. It is kind of like to just ask somebody to like pay for you and your friend is, you know, that can be a, that's extra. He lives. He's living in the Bahamas. All you got to do is go to the beach, grab three coconuts and it's lit.
Starting point is 01:13:48 What are you talking about? Mall. That shit don't go. If you don't reach in there and pull out a motherfucking fish. If you don't climb that tree and get them three coconuts right there, have a good time. But a walk on the beach to them isn't the same as it is to us. Yeah. No, walk on the beach is like a walk on the subway platform.
Starting point is 01:14:03 Yeah. It's like, bro, we do this shit every day. Like, this is nothing special. I mean, money aside there, like, let's take the money factor out of it. If I was, had met a girl on Facebook, he said, right? Mm-hmm. And I was like, oh, let's just let's get to know each other. Or do you want to go out to eat or something? And we started texting.
Starting point is 01:14:20 And she was like, oh, I'm with my friend. She's going to come to. I really wouldn't think nothing of it. Like, we literally just, all we've, has exchanged messages we have never met. Like, if your friend want to come, cool. Yeah. I don't even know if you even interested. and like I wouldn't think no way.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Just do something light. Go to coffee shop. Yeah, like. You know what I mean? Just sit there, have some coffee tea, whatever, bust it up a little bit. He had the dinner and club day ready. Yeah, he was ready to go in. But why he was trying to smash?
Starting point is 01:14:45 He was like, y'all didn't even smash. Niggins you're trying to smash. Why are you even thinking that? Like, I, you know, I wasn't trying to smash. You know, no, you're trying to smash. You know, you're trying to smash. That may me and axing ain't fooling me. Nick, you was trying to fuck.
Starting point is 01:14:59 I know exactly what you was trying to do. Yeah, I don't know. I bring Alex out. I'm I either first or second dates. So I can't. I can't speak on that. I'll bring her. You don't bring Alex on your first time.
Starting point is 01:15:10 I came in here before, after a date and told you I just brought Alex on a date. Like me and Alex go on. All your first dates? Not all of them, but a few of them. Yeah. But what's the difference between going on some of them and all of them?
Starting point is 01:15:20 Like, is it something about the guy? It'd be availability. Oh, okay. Like Alex would be with me for V-Day if like she ain't like have her own man. Like I would have her own man. Like I would just put her with.
Starting point is 01:15:28 No, but I mean like if you going on a date with a guy, like what makes you feel like, nah, Let me bring Alex on this one versus like, nah, I'm going to. Because if, okay, so a first date, no, right? But the second date, you got to see if you're mixing with the family. If you, if you can't, you know what I'm saying? If you want to be my lover. Second date mixing with the family.
Starting point is 01:15:44 You got to get with my friends. That's what the spice girl is. At this point in my life, I'm not mad at a friend coming on the second date. Yeah. Listen, man, birds of a feather. I've been birth that way before. Nah, let me see your friend group because that's really who you are. you try to trick me on this first date
Starting point is 01:16:02 and now I'm looking at somebody a representation of you that's not you then I meet all your friends and I'm like I should have fucking known nah I don't mind you bringing a friend to meet up with me if we like the first time hooking up linking up type of thing I ain't mad at that
Starting point is 01:16:14 second date come on showdy like we because in a minute I'm like all right so what's she gonna do when we get into me she's gonna be in the bedroom too is she trying to but you've never been like I wouldn't even call it a date but been out with a girl you're talking to her friend or friends come
Starting point is 01:16:28 and then they leave and go do they own shit and then YouTube go and leave. Yeah, I've definitely done that. But I'm saying the second date, like date. Not like, yo, I'm going here tonight. Like, yo, like, you should pull up. Because then it's like, it's like, yeah, but if you got to get girls with you, yeah, I call come out. Date is like me and you.
Starting point is 01:16:43 To be fair, it is from the very jump. It's like, like, the last one I went on, he planned the date like for like I'm taking you and I want to meet Alex. Me, you and Alex are going here. This is the first date? Second date. Me, him and Alex went to a steakhouse and then we went to the strip club. up. I like his game.
Starting point is 01:17:03 I know what he was trying to do. No. He was just trying to see. He was just trying to see. He was filling it out. He was reading the play. You got to read the defense. If they sit back in there's nothing wrong with doing that.
Starting point is 01:17:13 That doesn't make you sleazy or he was trying to do something or he was trying to set someone up. Sometimes you just have to check the temperature. Let me see. Sometimes you don't even know. Yeah. Sometimes you're getting ploddled on. You have no fucking idea. Take them to the strip club.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Beautiful women around. Cool. Let me see how they interact with women. Cool. She didn't lap dance. She's smacking. ask, okay, she might be into women a little bit. Okay, you just learn you gauge
Starting point is 01:17:33 your things about the girl. Like, okay, you're watching her, like, all right, she's comfortable with, you know, women. She likes beautiful women, just like we got some things in common. That's all. Not saying I'm trying to take you and your friend and go do something nasty, but, you know, the opportunity might present itself as all I'm saying. Not over here. Not over here, but it may, it may in other cases.
Starting point is 01:17:50 And if she got, like, cool home girls, that's always a fun day to begin with. Yeah. Like, I prefer that type of shit. But I also think you got to know who your homegirl. A lot of people think that their homegirls are fun. and their homegirls ain't fun. Yeah, they're fucking misery. I have the best home girls in the world.
Starting point is 01:18:04 Like, I know I can bring my home. You have a good group. Yeah. It's always fun. Yeah. So it's fun. But he probably fumbled. He probably fumbled.
Starting point is 01:18:12 If you feel like she's the type of girl who would just want a free meal, why are you even trying to date her? Well, first of all, I think we were joking with the fumble. I don't think, unless he's really the man in the Bahamas, I don't think the Tracy was just coming in without nobody even meeting him. Just off Facebook. It was too like, no, we're both going to fuck him. It happens, though. It happens. It's bitches like that.
Starting point is 01:18:31 I'm not saying there isn't. I'm just saying. My favorites. We put them in a special group on Facebook. Yeah. Those are the girls you can put in a group chat. Mm-hmm. Together.
Starting point is 01:18:40 They're cool. They know what this is. Y'all have killed me for doing that type of shit before. You put all your girls in the group chat before? No. Oh. But I put women that I've had group sex with and group chats the next day. And y'all called me fucking sick and crazy for that.
Starting point is 01:18:55 Yeah, but you was doing that. You're just talking to talk about the Kennedy, like, uh, conspiracy. That's all you was doing. He wasn't trying to have sex. He was like, yo, so do you really think that the CIA didn't kill Canada? To me, that's like a very gallant move that after you do that, then we're all in a group chat talking about things we have in common. All right. I'm not mad at that.
Starting point is 01:19:12 He left another one. I don't know. Is it a follow-up? Yeah, I don't know if he has a follow-up. We can cut it out if it's weird. Okay, let's see. Perfect dated. The bisexualist in general, I had an ex.
Starting point is 01:19:33 You were together for about when I met. I was in a city. I was in a fight. It's underlining. No, she's not fully 100% attracted to me. It's really, I'm not sure if you fully identify as a bisexual. That's been, whatever. She's gay.
Starting point is 01:19:57 I know you're not, what you said, you're not supposed. How does that go? Is it like a switch? Because I feel like, you know, when we out, she's more attracted to women some days. And some days, you know, she'll show me a little more affection. But I always had this thought, like, I don't really think she, well, I mean, you know, mine is you, got it. We were generally in love.
Starting point is 01:20:18 all that, but it's just like a meat thing. Put that fully behind my mind. Like, I don't know if it's like the switch or anything. I don't want to, you know, because I don't want to lose my bitch to a bitch. That would be crazy. Yeah, that's it. I just want to know how y'all feel about that.
Starting point is 01:20:36 If y'all... This is Y'all Wheelhouse because you guys have issues with bisexual women, not me. I have an issue with bisexual women? I... His reason... He has some reason to because that's the reason why I don't date bisexual men and they were calling me, like,
Starting point is 01:20:52 they were calling me homophobic, I'm like, I'm not a homophobic gay. I would always think that. I would always wonder if you were more attracted to men than me. And that will bother me. That's why I don't date bisexual men. Okay. I mean, all right.
Starting point is 01:21:04 With that said, with that reasoning, if you're dating somebody that's straight, they would still lust for the other sex. So what's the difference there? They're either lust for other people or they don't. They either just want to be with you or not. I don't think bisexual or you're, I don't see how that correlates it all.
Starting point is 01:21:26 But he didn't say just because they have the whole population of lust for it doesn't mean that they wouldn't be faithful. But it hasn't, I don't even think it has anything. Well, he didn't mention faithful, but he said attracted. Like, are you really, really attracted to me? Or are, like, you can want to be with somebody, but be attracted to somebody else more. That happens in relationships all the time.
Starting point is 01:21:41 Now, you, we've had the conversation. I have no issue dating a bisexual woman. Now, would I probably prefer the bisexual woman that dates men and just fucks women, probably. But it also wouldn't matter that much. Because you cheat on me no matter what your sexual preference was if you wanted to cheat. If you're a cheater, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:02 Like that doesn't, you would lust for whoever at that point. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't even get that. Potential cheating pool double. It does double. And women are way more convincing than men could ever be when it comes to fucking a woman that's attracted to women.
Starting point is 01:22:18 Yeah. So I get it, but. that's confidence you just need to have in your relationship. You haven't even met this girl yet. Well, he said, no, this is somebody different. He's someone his ex. This is, he split it up. But so the question that he asked me was, is there a switch that turns on, right?
Starting point is 01:22:35 Or a switch that goes off. What I will say with me is there is no switch. But I am more attracted physically to women than I am to men. The difference is the things that attract me to men are not physical things. So like I'm all about a man's attitude, the way he carries himself, his demeanor. Like that's what attracts me to men. But women is purely physical. So it can be different.
Starting point is 01:23:00 She can find different things attractive in women. Like I think women are just naturally better people. And I like, that's more attractive to me. Men is just like. Women are naturally better people than men? Yeah. That is a crazy statement. I do.
Starting point is 01:23:12 I do think that. We've never started a war. Women are just naturally better people than men. Not all women and not all men, but you know what I mean. I'll be honest. I have gotten along better with bisexual women that have actually dated women, not just fucked women and threesomes or just fucked a woman, like dated a woman. It's something that I can relate to with them because they know how crazy women are.
Starting point is 01:23:37 And they do appreciate men, I think, a bit more. She tried to hit me with the, mm. That was her taking in what you were saying. Yeah, I was listening. Comprehend him. Digest him. She's trying to call me. dude. No, but for real, I've had those conversations women that have actually dated women and are like,
Starting point is 01:23:54 no, I see what y'all go through. This is fucking insane. That's why I'm not dating women anymore, and that's where I'm fully on men. Like, so there's pros and cons. Yeah. But yeah, just find a straight chick that likes to eat pussy. She could be, she could be 100. If you like to eat pussy, you're not straight. She can be 100, but she can want to be with you, but just she could find women more attractive than you. Women are beautiful. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you can't. The same reason you attracted to women is the same reason she attracted to women. But men have like money and like biceps and like strength. Shit like that. Money biceps and strength.
Starting point is 01:24:29 Yeah. Like, you know, they can like fix things and shit. Like they're like, you know, problem solvers. Like when I date women, I don't want women to do anything. Like I just want, I want you to just be beautiful. I don't want you to do anything. Men, it's like, what are you here for? Right. No, I get it. I understand. Be useful. I said the same thing to the homies. I mean, what your knicks here for? some women around here. We need some women. We need some soft legs in here.
Starting point is 01:24:52 Yeah. And you wonder why men killed himself at a way higher rate than any other gender. Y'all are hard on each other. Y'all are really hard on you. What did you just say? It's us. Y'all are hard on each other.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Just reverse the tape in the edit page and then go through what she just said. Y'all do know that. I tell you all the time, the patriarchy was set up by men. We just adhere to it. Y'all can't be mad that y'all... You just set it on a public platform.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Yeah, because that's what I've been taught. Shut the fuck up and be useful. Yeah. That y'all are to... Remember, y'all don't have emotions. Y'all are all logic. There's no emotions. It's all logic and we're providers and we're protectors.
Starting point is 01:25:23 There's logic and emotions who said otherwise? Twitter said otherwise? No, there's logic and emotion. Absolutely. You can have logical emotions. No, you can. You can not have logical emotions. Logic and emotions are two completely different things.
Starting point is 01:25:37 No, they are. You can act logically. And it's okay because you're emotional. I'm not saying, it's okay to be illogical sometimes because emotions are part of being human. But to say that there's not logical. logical emotions is crazy. There's logical emotions.
Starting point is 01:25:49 You can have logical actions. You feel emotions. Yeah. You can't feel logical. That's not, it doesn't work like that. So you can be, you can have emotions and still act logically or still think logically. But emotions are completely separate. You can't have logical emotions.
Starting point is 01:26:05 That doesn't even make sense. Let me ask you. That's like having emotions that makes sense. Like it doesn't, no. Yeah. You don't think you have emotions. The more you learn about your own emotions and certain things happen to you, whereas you may have had.
Starting point is 01:26:16 erratic emotions and still did logical actions. Logical emotions describe the interplay where logic helps process and regulate feelings, while emotions provide essential value and context for logical thought, creating unnecessary balance for effective decision-making and a holistic understanding of human intelligence rather than seeing them as opposing forces. They can be used together. With experience, you can teach your emotions to be more logical as if you were to get mad at somebody that you were talking to,
Starting point is 01:26:46 that weren't really dating and they went and did some shit, the immature emotions can take over and say, yo, what the fuck? I feel for that girl. So now I'm mad. I didn't act on it, but I'm still mad because I'm human. But the more you teach your own emotions and become mature, you could see that and go, some my girl. Very true.
Starting point is 01:27:05 I can feel like some are my girl. Well, for this Valentine's Day, hopefully everyone is having a great time in using their logical emotions, health in a healthy way. Yes. Not in a toxic way. And to keep having these healthy conversations and keep making wise decisions for Valentine's Day. Be with the one you love, love the one you're with
Starting point is 01:27:27 and continue to, you know, have fun of your relationship and be creative. Okay, we have one more. And from this, this sounds like it might be a Riz, another Riz poem. So let's see. Oh, shit. You get them all right. I just want to dedicate this one to special somebody in that rule. room, you know, he knows who he is.
Starting point is 01:27:51 My heart started racing the day I met Maul. Didn't plan on forever. But look at us now, Maul. You smiled one time and that was my downfall. I love you feel natural, Maul. They say love can rise and sometimes like a ball. That's editing, yo. You by my side, I'm not scared of all.
Starting point is 01:28:08 Stop playing with me, though. Now, that didn't get a shit off. Let him finish. Let him finish, yo. The wintertime chills. springtime rainfall, I'll stand 10 toes down for you, Maul. No need for a kingdom, no castle, no ball. You'll ready to make me feel 10 feet tall.
Starting point is 01:28:28 If life throws a curve and we stumble or storm, I'm choosing over it all, Maul. Oh, Maul. Here's the laughs and the late night calls. The way you turn simple moments into all this Valentine's Day, I'm giving you my all because loving you is the sweetest call, Maul. You didn't even understand the mall call. Edin is so gay. Can you tell us about the late night calls? He does leave you sticky notes on your chair.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Every time he comes in here, Edon always leave me sticky notes like, yo, Edin, I'm not gay, bro. Leave me alone, man. But thank you, Edith for that beautiful poem. Wait, I wonder if I call him if he'll answer the phone. Before we get out of here, what are we doing with Spread Him? Let's have real pre-production in real time. It's Thursday. We have to wrap up, spread them.
Starting point is 01:29:16 sponsored by Hard Rock Bet. Our guys over at Hard Rock Sprite them. Maul, I cleaned you up like 15 to 2 in our spread-em. Listen, man, the pages
Starting point is 01:29:26 whatever, man. But as a friend for this live stream that we have to do. I had to name a thousand rappers? I'll take 500. Okay.
Starting point is 01:29:37 No, and I'm saying I'll take 500. You take 500. Oh, split them. So we're going to split the spread them. Maybe we do, again, production real time. Do we do a split live stream and whoever gets a 500 first, even with repeats,
Starting point is 01:29:52 but maybe we can't hear each other? Like maybe put the clock on. It'd be crazy. Yes, too overstimulating for the audience. No, not at like, we'll shoot mall live stream one day, be live stream the other, or the clock. And she'll get to, okay. See who get there first. Maybe the, maybe the listeners can give us suggestions, but okay. We'll figure something out with us, this spread them, yeah, segment for sure. Do y'all know how many rappers, a thousand, is. There's a lot of rappers, though. I think I could do it now.
Starting point is 01:30:18 I think you underestimate how many rappers there are, though. I think I could do it easy. I really think y'all should just do a hundred. A hundred is way too easy. I could do that in five minutes. I bet a million dollars. I would bet all the, you know what? I bet my next month's salary that you cannot,
Starting point is 01:30:33 that you cannot name a hundred rappers in 20 minutes. I bet my next month's salary. You're not doing that you cannot bet. That you cannot bet. Cameras, I love you way too much. I'm six years younger than hip hop. Like, what are you talking about? I love you way too much to accept that bet.
Starting point is 01:30:49 What? You're crazy if you think I can name 100 rappers in 20 minutes. In 20 minutes? In 20 minutes. I might be able to name 100 rappers in 10 minutes. Okay. But less than that, probably. Let's do that spread.
Starting point is 01:31:01 Can I make my own separate? If I name the entire Wu-Tang, I'm already at 12. So I got 88 more to go. You think it's going to take me a minute to name all the members of Wu-Tang? Okay. You could name everybody in state property. I can name everybody in Wu-Tang. I can name everybody.
Starting point is 01:31:16 Death Row, bad boy, rockabella. I'm at like, 20 minutes? I'm at like 35 at that point. Yeah, that's easy. That's way too. 100 is easy. I think once y'all get the 60 is where you're going to have an issue.
Starting point is 01:31:27 I think 60 70 is where you're going to have an issue. 60 niggas came a 60 albums came out of this shit. We only in February. I could definitely name 60 rappers. Okay. Yeah, hell yeah. That's way too easy. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:39 I was thinking a thousand, like 120 minutes. No computer in front of you? No, no. No computer at all. Because I want exact names. I don't want that one nigga from bad boy. I, I, I, I, name. No, I, of course not.
Starting point is 01:31:50 I can give you names. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Because all I'm going to do is go by a city. That's it. He could probably name every member of the band. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:00 That's another 12. Like every season. Every season of a bad. Peach can name everyone in St. Lunatics. That's another 12. See. Now we're at 70. So what's the definition of?
Starting point is 01:32:15 of a rapper because if a finika got one song, if that's the case y'all can name me. Like, that's not even. If I was doing a thousand, you would have been named for sure. Yeah, you have to have like a, you have to have a song or an album. You have to have an album on DSP. You can't, an album? An album? No, that's crazy.
Starting point is 01:32:29 And you got to at least be on a song featuring on the song that was out. Not an album. All right. I got to be able to look you up in Apple Music. I'm fine with that. Oh yeah. The song will be on Apple Music. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:40 Okay. Absolutely. We can do that. Yeah. And they can't be a singer. I got homies from high school. that are on Apple Music. You can't be a singer that made a rap song.
Starting point is 01:32:49 Like, you can't name Jill Scott just because she was on the Conway song. She didn't rap on the Comps song. You think that I would name Jill Scott as one of my 100 rappers? Huh? No, I don't think so, but I'm just saying just that, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. I can do it, though. Okay.
Starting point is 01:33:02 500 is tough. 100 is way too easy. Page had the best strategy. If you just think regions and focus on that per five minutes, it's easy. If I name every rapper in New York, you know where I'm at? Just Long Island. 15. Yeah. Okay. It's not as tough. It's not, it's more rappers than you think.
Starting point is 01:33:19 That's what I'm thinking you underestimate is how many rappers. I know that there's a lot of rappers.
