I like the energy you're on today. How's fatherhood?
Starting point is 00:00:40 Your fatherhood is great. Really? Yeah, father is great. What you learned and knew? I finally learned how to make her laugh. Really? Yeah. How many months is you now? She's six weeks. Six weeks. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. What do you do?
Starting point is 00:00:53 I stick my nose in her mouth. God, why? See, this is how God works. This is God. Why? Everybody make fun of me from my nose. I feel bad about it. I'm insecure about it, but then what does my nose do?
Starting point is 00:01:08 The one thing I want more than anything in the world to make my little baby girl laugh. Does she bite it because she thinks it's a breast? God damn, bro. I did think about that. That's what it is. I did. She's not even getting me. She's just thirsty.
Starting point is 00:01:20 That's right. She's trying to figure it out. You know what I mean? She's like, mommy comes with these things. Daddy comes with this thing. She thinks a nipple coming, so she's like, ah. After watching, I don't want that. After watching him, I don't want that.
Starting point is 00:01:31 That shit, nothing comes out of here. But it's like air. I go like that, and then she laughs. It's far. That's dope, man. Because I was bombing for about four weeks straight. I was bombing for four weeks straight with her. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Joe Coy was murdering compared to what I was doing. And I'll do anything. What was you doing, the goo-go-go-gaga? Oh, Google. Wow. I did that one. I know babies be looking at a dope. It's like, why the fuck is he saying this to me?
Starting point is 00:01:56 You know what I'm saying? Who the fuck? No, when will I ever say Google Gaga? Son. I'd have been here 20 different times. And they keep making this same mistake. I'm not reacting. You're not going to get a smile.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Go get your wife. I'll get some milk. Go-go-go-gagga. So we also started reading kids' books. Obviously, she can't understand anything, but you just do it to, like, have some. And I didn't realize how emotional these kids' books are, man. Oh, which one you are?
Starting point is 00:02:24 Man, I don't even want to talk about it. Which one you are? I don't want to talk about it. It's going to get me going again. I'm trying to move on. Which one was it, man? Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no. I love you forever, bro.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Oh, that was a bangers. Oh, I got it here. Don't work. You got it? I got it here, don't work. I got it here. It's somewhere. It's somewhere.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Where's the book? Hey, where's I love you forever? Where's the book? This book right here? Slaps. Waterworks. Slaps. Waterworks.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Waterworks. Let's read it. Let's read it It's only two seconds I love you forever Love you forever written by Robert Monk's A mother held her new baby And very slowly rocked him back and forth
Starting point is 00:03:16 Back and forth back and forth And while she held him she's saying I'll love you forever I'll like you for always As long as I'm living my baby you'll be The baby grew He grew and he grew and he grew Until he was two years old
Starting point is 00:03:28 And he ran all around the house He pulled all the books off the shelves He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, this kid is driving me crazy. But at night, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor,
Starting point is 00:03:42 looked up over the side of his bed, and if he was really asleep, she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him, she's saying, I love you forever, I like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby, you'll be. Damn! The little boy grew.
Starting point is 00:03:56 He grew and he grew and he grew, and he grew, he grew until he was nine years old, and he never wanted to come in for dinner. He never wanted to take a bath. And when grandma visited, he always said bad words. Sometimes his mother wanted to sell him to the zoo. But at nighttime, when he was asleep, the mother quietly opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he was really asleep, she picked up that nine-year-old boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Starting point is 00:04:18 And while she rocked and she sang, I love you forever. I like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby, you'll be. Bruno Mars need to turn that into a song. Immediately. Pay off the fucking debts. The boy grew. He grew and he grew and he grew.
Starting point is 00:04:30 He grew until he was a teenager. He had strange friends and he wore strange clothes and he listened to strange music. Sometimes his mother felt like she was in a zoo. But at nighttime, when that teenager was asleep, the mother opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor and looked up over the side of the bed. If he really was asleep, she picked up that great big boy and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him, she sang, I love you forever. I like you for always.
Starting point is 00:04:52 As long as I'm living, my baby, you'll be. Man, please don't be a deaf in this goddamn children's book. That teenager grew, he grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was a grown-up man He left home and got a house across town But sometimes on dark nights The mother got into her car and drove across town Get the fucking
Starting point is 00:05:08 Come on, come on All the lights in her son's house were out She opened his bedroom window Crawed across the floor And looked up over the side of his bed If that great big man was really asleep She picked him up and rocked him back and forth Back and forth back and forth
Starting point is 00:05:21 And while she rocked him she's saying I'll love you forever I'll like you for always As long as I'm living my baby you'll be Now come on now Come on come on Come on you know when you sleep Your mom does that.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Come on, let's go. Well, that mother, she got older. She got older and older and older. One day she called up her son and said, you'd better come see me because I'm very old and sick. Oh, my God. So her son came to see her. When he came in the door, she tried to sing the song.
Starting point is 00:05:43 She's saying, I love you forever. I'll like you for always. Keep going. But she couldn't finish because she was too old and sick. Keep going. Keep going. Oh, no. Keep going. The son went to his mother.
Starting point is 00:05:54 He picked her up and rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And he sang this song, I'll love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my mommy, you'll be. When the son came home that night, he stood for a long time at the top of the stairs. Then he went into the room where his very new baby daughter was sleeping.
Starting point is 00:06:10 He picked her up in his arms and very slowly rocked her back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while he rocked her, he's saying, I love you forever. I'll like you for always. As long as I'm living, my baby, you'll be. Jesus Christ, man. My God. I mean, yo. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:06:25 Yo, I was weeping, reading that to my daughter, man. Great fucking story. Isn't that great? Yeah, everybody in there should be brown, though. So here's, it's funny, you should mention that. Because where is? The dad. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Not one winch in the father throughout the whole story. No, son. Literally, we're talking about this on a page on the Patreon, right? This is crazy. I'm reading another book. I'm reading Corderoy. Okay. You know, corduroy?
Starting point is 00:06:50 The bear. With the bear with the missing button. I'm reading the book, and I'm like, and I pick up the book, and the girl in the book is black, and the mother's black. And I'm like, here they go with the diversity. man, they don't change the race of the fucking characters of the book. Why does everything need to be diverse? It's an old story or whatever. I come to the pod and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:07:06 yo, can you believe this? They got this fucking DEI shit in children's books. Like, who gives a fuck? It's a story. They go look up the book. It's always been a black girl. It's always been a black mom. You just don't remember because the story slaps.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I don't even think about it because the story slaps. Also, plus I remember the bear. I don't even remember the family. Yeah, I didn't. But how racist is that of me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did I just see it? an old book that has black people in it
Starting point is 00:07:31 and I go, oh no, they don't switch it up now. Here we go. It's all about the story. That is so fucking sad. Is that not beautiful? It's beautiful. It's fuck, but it's so sad. Because it's like the circle of life. What I was saying is like with the kids' books, the ones that are really good,
Starting point is 00:07:49 it's not even for the kid. It's actually for the parent. Like, you hope that the way that you treat your kid, one, you hope that they remember it and they care about it. And then maybe one day, you'll get to see that treatment to you. But the beautiful thing is even after the grandma
Starting point is 00:08:06 passes, everything she did for him, he's going to give to the next generation. Yeah, that's D.E.I, too, though. But that guy's clearly gay. No mention of a wife. Yo, that's so interesting. No mention of a wife. He has a cat. You have a gay. A cat. A new boy, baby. He's cooking fucking mushrooms.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Like, when you... Bro, he was... You know what I mean? He's clearly a gay man. This is a gay guy. This is a gay man who adopted. Bought a kid. Come on, man. Just bought a fucking kid. Clearly he might be adopted because there's no daddy, but she might be a woman who never could have had kids.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Oh my God. But forget all of that. The overall theme of the story is great. Love you forever. Always. What? Also, a gay dude. A gay dude would be a mama's boy like that. You know what I'm saying? He's getting rock to sleep
Starting point is 00:08:53 as a fucking adult. He just could be a Latino. Latino still get rocked to sleep at that age. Nah, but they mom's boy. That's the craziest part. Yo, look how he's, look at his mouth with that lamp. Ooh. Now, that's a little crazy. And hold on.
Starting point is 00:09:06 That's a little crazy. Wait a minute. I didn't even notice this. That's a little crazy. Come out, man. There's a guy clearly ready to be in tea bag. Yo. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:15 You figured it out. That's what I'm saying. They just snuck the gay into my kids' books. This whole time I thought they were turning everyone black. They turned everyone gay. Show people with that picture again, man. The guy is ready to get goddamn. Also, the mom got to sneak in to touch her.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Let me see. Because he wouldn't let no woman in his bed. Look at this picture, man. This guy is crazy. This guy is crazy. This one's crazy. This guy's hanging upside down. No, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:44 They're just fucking 69. They just fucking 69. He's singing about it. I'm serious, man. Great story, though. I don't want to take away from the team of the story. Phenomenal story. Great fucking story, man.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Love you forever. Like you for always. Y'all had to go J.J. Reddick on you? Yeah, we had to go J.J. Reddick on, man. J.J. had to pull up, you know, talked about all the racism he experienced. I was laughing at Dr. Umar's post on Instagram, right? Talk to you. Taylor, we're going to get to your by any memes necessary in a minute. But Dr. Umar posted, no disrespect and much respected LeBron James.
Starting point is 00:10:16 He's a great father and a terrific athlete. However, in the spirit of self-determination and black excellence, why couldn't you find one of our brothers and sisters to pair up with for this podcast, given who you are? I'm trying to understand the need to go outside of our community for this. Snow Bunny Shannon Sharp is your biggest supporter. I mean, why not team up with him? This move makes no sense at all. What does this man done for you
Starting point is 00:10:34 are us to earn this opportunity? Shaking my damn head. Let me tell you something, man. If LeBron James was going to start a podcast, strictly about basketball, there's nobody I would want to see him do that with more than JJ Reddick. J.J. Reddick is one of the most brilliant basketball minds
Starting point is 00:10:56 walk in the face of the earth. Backs. It's just like him and LeBron, even when you listen to them talk, they break that shit down like a mafra. The episode is out right now. It is absolutely phenomenal. And they are in no way
Starting point is 00:11:08 trying to appease the casual basketball at all. This is just for people who love the fucking game. And who know it. And who know it. And it's just awesome. I'm Googling shit
Starting point is 00:11:17 if they're talking. Floppy? What the fuck is floppy? Right? Or the other shit he was talking about, BBL? There's some play LeBron was talking about BB something.
Starting point is 00:11:25 BBL. I don't know if it was BBL. What's a BBL? I don't know what the fuck he was talking about. He was like, the guy stands here and the wing goes here and this goes here. I'm like, yo, honestly, honestly, it's too smart for me. There's a lot of things, other things I would do in basketball too. Like, it's a couple other coverages I would do.
Starting point is 00:11:42 The pick-the-picker B-O-B. Now bombs over Baghdad, but baseline out of bounds. America's play. The America's play. So what happens? I get the ball. I don't have a shot because now I got two guys at me. It's a quick pass.
Starting point is 00:11:56 back to the inbounder, he gets a lay-up. So don't chase you. That's what I'm saying. Take you. It's actually a good coverage. Take you to the screen. Yeah. And at the screen, the X-5, that's gardener pick the picker big, opens up and you slide right
Starting point is 00:12:08 to the guy that's guarded. I didn't know if you wanted a second glass. I didn't know. I have another coverage, too. Okay. I love talking basketball, by the way. Ooh. I love basketball, but not in that way.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Yeah. I hear that. Not in that way. I hear that. I don't need to know all of it. that. I hear it out. I'm never going to use any of that in casual conversation. That's for coaches.
Starting point is 00:12:31 It's for players. That podcast is literally a podcast for basketball savants. People who are studying the game. Like if I'm a coach, you can listen to that podcast and learn some shit. Absorb it. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, so, yeah, I, you know, there's nobody
Starting point is 00:12:49 I would want to hear LeBron sit down and have a conversation with about basketball more. Like literally nobody. Yeah. I can't think of any one personality. Yeah. The only thing that I would say is that it would be like coaches because they too need to know the X's and O's.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I've never heard coaches. You're right, but I've never heard coaches talk the way JJ Redick and LeBron talk. Yeah, I also think you don't get the opportunity for them to do it that much. But, like, I'm sure, like, a Doc Rivers or a Coach K or Mike D. and Tony breaking down offense, like some of these guys. And I think what I imagine they will do is eventually bring in maybe a third person, to talk about specific shit. Hey, Mike D. Antonio, why are you such a prolific offensive coach? What are your strategies?
Starting point is 00:13:30 What are you trying to do? And keep in mind, with basketball, it's not like football where, like, the playbook is top secret. With basketball, everybody's kind of running the same offense, more or less, and you have tons of video to look at because you're going through the plays out. So you can actually be forthright about your offense. Absolutely. Like, you know what I mean? It's not like a, like with a boxer, he might not give his strategy for an upcoming fight.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Mike D. Antonio would be like, You know what we're going to do. Well, Iso and this guy. We're going to run a pick and roll and then let Steve Nash do whatever fuck he wants. It reminds me that. ESPN used to do this show called Details. You ever read that?
Starting point is 00:14:08 It was about... It was different. Like, Kobe did an episode. Kobe might did a few episodes. They basically had experts speaking on. Yeah. And it was like all that X and O type shit in that way. So, yeah, I respectfully, Dr. Umar.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Like, there's nobody. Like, it ain't about the look. It's about, like, who has... that type of knowledge and who can talk about the game like that with LeBron James. Who's already a person, like who's somebody who's already a personality? Also, you know he used to rap, JJ? JJ what? Jay J.J. Redder?
Starting point is 00:14:38 Really? Yeah, he was a rapper. He was telling us. That's what he used to do. He shouldn't have said that. Why? They're going to dig up the old tapes. No, he said he was looking for him for us.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Really? Yo, he used to hit the cypher. I have a rap of him. He had any old N-word fly? No. No slurs? I'll try to get them. I was like, how would you say?
Starting point is 00:14:56 this guy's name and it was that high school kid whose name is... hilarious. Yeah. hilarious. Hilarious. But yeah. No, J.J.R.
Starting point is 00:15:04 rating's pretty much black when you think about it. Why? What? What? You see that jersey swap? Oh, I loved it. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Did you all ask them about that? No. We should just say, what do you think about black dick? Bro, black dick. Top two dicks out there. who's number one? I mean, white dick, I like that. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I thought you meant like Dick Ply. I mean, we gotta clip that one up. Why? White dick, I like, I like, I like, I like white dick. You don't pause no more, bro. But I like white, you don't like, you don't like black dick? See, that's a rewind. He bought it back.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Yeah. But don't you like your dick? Your dick is black, don't you like it? My dick, yeah. Yeah, I didn't say I like white dicks. I like white dicks. I have a white dick. I like it.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Singular white dight. Knowing women in a relationship, they say that's my dick, right? So I can clip that part. You say, I like my dick. You standing there with your fingernails painting, your hand on your knee. Yo, I like my dick. Damn, bro. Out of contact you.
Starting point is 00:16:09 That's wild, Alex. Yo, Al. Does your mom rock you to bed every night, well? Does he say, I love you forever. I like you for always? My baby will meet you. What we got, Taylor, all memes necessary. By any memes necessary.
Starting point is 00:16:30 What we got? The meme streets of Lower Derby. Oh, God. What did that say? Yeah, yeah. What did that say? Dwayne just trying to do anything he possibly can to make us forget that he was the fucking most prolific offensive player for five years in a row. Dwayne Wade says his father and uncle taught him how to groom himself.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I've been getting my nails painted. Since 2007, I'm not just wearing clothes. I put that shit on. That's so scary. That's not nasty. Why y'all do that, yo? It is. As you said, I put that shit.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I'm not wearing clothes. I put that shit on. That's slang. No, that's sassy, bro. Every rap was set that. That's a little I love you forever, bro. I ain't going to lie. I got that shit on.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I put that shit on. That's Atlanta slang. Oh, yeah, Atlanta, the straightest fucking city in the nation. All the rappers in Atlanta have been saying that. I put that shit on. Two chains from Atlanta? Yes, two chains from Atlanta. It makes more sense.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Not calling him gay. I'm just saying... You just called him gay. You're saying the culture is gay. You're saying the gay. You're saying the city is gay. Is that what you're saying? Atlanta culture is not gay.
Starting point is 00:17:45 It is a city that has a high population of gay people. But if you have a high population of gay people, they're going to positively influence the culture. Look at New York. Look at how positively influenced New York is. Oh, what, gays? 100%. Look at all the arc.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Look at all the culture. I mean, you like Broadway? You like musical theater? I love Broadway. I love great guys singing the Lion King, right? It's a bunch of pillow biters dressed up as hyenas and shit. You know what I always felt like pillow bites was disrespectful? What?
Starting point is 00:18:12 Because the reason I always thought pillow bites was disrespectful because, like, if I was a bottom, I'd be so offending. It's like, I'll take this dick. Yeah, but I don't bite no fucking pillow. Here's the thing. You could be a top and bite the pillow because the ass so good. You'd be like, mm. You'd be a bottom lip biter. No, you'd be a bottom lip biter.
Starting point is 00:18:30 You're back there hitting that shit. You're like, mm-hmm. I'll come to the smell, too. You'd be like, mm-hmm. Ooh, it's foochie. Oh, it's foochie. They smell a little foochie. See what gay.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Gay culture is fire. This might not be the right conversation for you guys. Yeah, what's... I've offended, I think, some straight people earlier. Why? What did you do? Because I feel like straight men are obsessed with gay culture. No, they're not.
Starting point is 00:18:56 the pause situation Hold on let's think The pause situation is a little obsessive Can I say one thing Charlott about this? I think that right now
Starting point is 00:19:06 straight men have realized the great contributions of gay men And I think that Women are a little envious Of straight men And gay men's Newfound relationship
Starting point is 00:19:18 Our love and our bond We bond over our testosterone masculinity Now you're left to the side But that's not What that's going We're not to hang out with y'all. We just were homophobic. Now that we're not homophobic, they're like, yo, let's kick it with them straight men.
Starting point is 00:19:30 But it is still- Y'all are jealous. So Paul's situation has to come to- Who's pausing? Faws has nothing to do with gay people. Yeah. You don't think so? No.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Paul's is just some funny shit. But it has to do with something sexual, we'll be like, yo, hand me that ball, pause. But that's just, that's amongst us. It has nothing to do with nothing sexual. Do you remember bad habit? Did y'all ever have that game, bad habit? Where if you say a curse word, you get to punch your friends until he says,
Starting point is 00:19:53 or until he says something else? Yeah. Like, we just develop games where we can bully each other. That's it. Yeah, like punch buggy. A lot of the pause you do around sexuality, though. Yeah, but it's just funny. Yeah, it's just a game.
Starting point is 00:20:05 It's not anything serious. And I love pause because it's trans into generations. We've seen rappers and everything else just say pause is constantly. It's not even about gay. Like, it's literally about anything. If you say something going in your mouth, you know what I'm saying? Something in your butt. Like, it's just a pause.
Starting point is 00:20:21 It's just a joke. Me and my wife be double teaming with the pause. No, what do you say? You say something in our house both at the same time, pause. You know what I'm saying? Like, the other day, so we had somebody in the house, they're like, y'all are both so immature. It's such an immature house.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Immaturity is fun. Yes. I'm not saying that. No, you're just trying to be mature. Once you get our age, we're going to try to be immature, and it's so much fun. There is a situation. You've seen it before, too, sure. Like, is this a little too obsessive?
Starting point is 00:20:46 Give me an example. We just seen one. Who's doing a Lucas? Yes. What happened? He was a little old deal with. Because he was pausing stuff that wasn't Paul's work. Like what?
Starting point is 00:20:58 Shit, I got to think about it. I'm like, wait a fuck did you just say? That's how old to me think about it? I don't think that was a pause. But it's like, unless, like, I don't still like that. How is my policing itself? I can't be mad at him for policing itself. But why is he doing it?
Starting point is 00:21:09 I don't know. It's just, it's part of the interview? Yes, the whole time. Really? He's just talking. He's just talking. He's like, pause. Like.
Starting point is 00:21:17 He had some ones that were worth it, though. Like what? One point, one time he goes, I was standing behind Puff. You got to pause that now. That's the pause. That's a huge pause. No, that's wow.
Starting point is 00:21:35 That's wow. Why was he standing behind Puff? It was in line somewhere. I made that up. It wasn't Puff. He said he was standing behind somebody. He said he was standing behind somebody. And he said pause.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Now, the only thing I will agree on, Taylor, a lot of pauses are being wasted now. Yes. It's unnecessary pause. Yeah, make it clever. Make it clever. Yes. It's like the joke before this back in the day was that's what she said. Mm.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Right. When you could, when someone said something that could be interpreted as something a girl said when you had sex with her. I've never retired. That was the straight version of pause. And then pause came up and we just made the game gay. That's right. So that's it. If anything, we brought gays in.
Starting point is 00:22:15 It was these nuts before that. These nuts. Exactly. Like there's a lot of these games. Yo, it ain't about the gays. It ain't about the gay, though. No. outside of that, the straights and the gays that are males have a relationship and a bond.
Starting point is 00:22:29 That's right. You women will never understand. And that's something you got to respect. Look at Lamar Odom and Caitlin Jenna. There you go. They got a podcast together. They do. The Ball's in Your Court podcast.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Hey, yes. There's not the name of the name. That is not the name. No, it's nice. Stop playing. Really? Stop playing. No, it's nice.
Starting point is 00:22:46 The balls in your court. You didn't know that? Get the fuck out of it. Lamar, Odom, and Caitlin, Jinnah have a podcast called the ball in your. Keeping out with sports. Shut out. Nah, that's nothing. My shit way more fire.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Keeping up with sports. They got to rename that shit to the balls in your court. The balls in your court podcast. That's fire. That is fire. Come on, you know. That is fire. That is a fantastic, man.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Now, that's a great name. Okay. What else we got, Taylor? What's up there? I thought this was a very positive meme. Oh, gosh. No, it's good. You would like it.
Starting point is 00:23:24 You would like it. I just thought of something. It's funny. What? Talk to me. All right. Talk to me. You know how like Caitlin Jenner was a decathlete, right?
Starting point is 00:23:32 She did the javelin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think that's what she did when she ripped it off the first time? No, she still got it. She still got it. She never got rid of it. No, imagine. And that with the balls you did the one of your circle around?
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah, what is your own? Yeah. I'm surprised nobody ever made an AI meme of Caitlin running like Bruce. Oh. Because, you know, Bruce, it's like, why nobody ever did the AI where they put Caitlin doing everything Bruce was doing. Oh, that's a good idea. I thought you were talking about the AI of what that thing looked like. Damn.
Starting point is 00:24:11 What do you think that thing looked like? He still got it. Oh, she still got it. I know she got it, but now it's all there's all the estrogen in it. It's starting to clit up a little. Why? She's still like winning. What happened?
Starting point is 00:24:20 She's still starting to clit up a little. I will never forgive y'all. by the way. By y'all, I mean, you Twitter, motherfuckers, when I was on Twitter back in the day, and Caitlin was doing that interview with, who was it?
Starting point is 00:24:34 Diane Sawyer, maybe. All right. And she was talking about being a woman, but she still said, she was like, I like, I like, I like, oh, she's a lesbian. I'm trying to be all progressive and shit. And they came from that.
Starting point is 00:24:45 They fucking tore me a new asshole on social media. I'm like, what the fuck? So what the, if we're recognizing her as a woman, she's with women, Can't even win, bro. You can't even win, man. Can't even fucking win, man.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah. She is a lesbian. I would think so. She's a big old boo. You said she sells a dick, so. What's wrong with that? Lesbians can't have dicks? Not real.
Starting point is 00:25:05 What you would tell me next? Men can't have babies? Yes. This girl, is this girl progressive or not? Nah, she's not. You are not progressive. I wish you're saying a man can't have a baby. I see that actually back.
Starting point is 00:25:17 I don't wish that no more. You don't wish what? I have first wanted y'all to experience pregnancy, but I don't want that no more. Why, why, why, why? Because you're already taking mad shit from us anyway. Oh, bam, bam, bam. First of all, don't y'all meet.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Don't y'all nobody in this room, okay? What did we mean we took from? What did we take? We took gays from you, obviously, but what else? Edges. We did take edges. Y'all edges do not come close to our ears. Definitely painting nails.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Hips. Definitely hip, hips. Fips crazy. Doing twerking. We got twerking, done. That's right. You got you got, you got. Gilbert Arenas out there talking about saucy Santana's twerk.
Starting point is 00:25:56 All these women out here twerking Gilbert said, nah, man. I looked at saucy shit and I was like, shit. There it is. Damn. There it is. Exactly. Better than you.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Meg Dostalli. Better than you. Absolutely, you're right. Don't say somebody took it. God gave it to him. Okay. That's a better. What's he supposed to do?
Starting point is 00:26:17 Exactly. What's saucy supposed to do? You mad because you can't jiggle like sausage and Santana. I'm not that. But I will give him his props. That man can throw it back. You don't even know what he identifies that. So don't say his.
Starting point is 00:26:30 He doesn't. What does he identify us? The saucy. He is saucy. The man is sauce. What is this that you plan? Okay. So look, these are kids that are
Starting point is 00:26:43 rapping about getting the honor roll. And I thought this was real cute. Oh. Yeah, I'm on the honor roll. You know what this food? It proves that people don't dislike mumble rap. They just dislike the content of them. Talk.
Starting point is 00:27:53 But I can't understand nothing they're saying except for the hook. Really? You know. Neither can you. I understand that whole shit. I understand the hook. I understand the whole verse. Really? What do you say?
Starting point is 00:28:04 I go to school because I have... He did. He likes going to school. He likes good grades. He gets paid. I mean, I know the just good grades. I get money for my good grades, after he says. That's not what he said.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Oh, I did not hear that part. No, he goes, his mom pays him when he gets good grades. Oh, I didn't hear that. I understand the hook, though. I mean, salute to those young people. Yo, shout out to them for all being on the honor roll. I'm mad at it. I know.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I know that's positive, especially for the black. I need to see some proof. There's a lot of kids there. All them on honor roll? I need to see some proof, yo. You can't sound like that. They had some. They were holding up.
Starting point is 00:28:40 They were holding up their honor roll paper. But you can't just walk into your house and say, I'm on an honor roll, mom and dad. I need to see that certificate. Yeah, we need to see the certificate. All I'm saying is they are giving a positive message, especially to the black youth. And I thought that was true.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Yeah, but like most rappers, they probably cap it. They might be capping. I need to make sure that they're- Listen, can they rap? Yes. Is the song fire? Yes. Is it about something positive?
Starting point is 00:29:03 That's right. If I make honor wrong, go to a fast food restaurant, they want to see proof. I want to see proof. I respect it though. I do. I respect it. I need to see proof.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And I like the positive energy. that they're putting out. But I do want to say, we're not in that bad of shape, y'all. Like, come on, man. We got to stop this. We'd be acting like, we'd be acting like
Starting point is 00:29:21 hip hop is like the worst shit ever. These are kids, though. I'm saying singing ass how about me. I always see kids doing positive shit. You know what I'd be trying to tell people when they talk to me about like hip hop being fucked up, kids being fucked up and stuff like that? Y'all need to go see some other people.
Starting point is 00:29:38 There's plenty of kids out here doing and saying positive shit. No, no, no, I get what he's saying. It's not in that bad a state where we, and I'm, listen, if everybody likes the song, cool, salute, I respect it. But we're not in that bad a shape where, you know, we got to post that and say this is what hip hop should be like. They're going off the mainstream, though. Hmm? They're going off the mainstream hip-hop. No, what he's saying is that you don't need to show yourself doing positive things and look how positive we are, because by saying that, you're essentially saying, listen, we know you all think that we're essentially saying, listen, we know you all think that we're negative.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Yeah. So we're going to show you some positive shit. What he's saying is we already got plenty of we being black people. We've already got plenty of positive shit. So why are we acting as if we don't? Yes. And I mean, listen, I got a chapter in my new book, Get Onaster, Dot Line, Why Small Talks, about...
Starting point is 00:30:24 Pre-order right now, pre-order right now, free-order right now. About what I think about the current state of hip-hop. But I will say, even when you say that, Taylor, about the mainstream, I've had this conversation a million times. If you look over the last 14, 15 years, the top five rappers are even at... at any given time, you can put a top 10 of rappers, six or seven of them are super positive, for the most part.
Starting point is 00:30:51 The three biggest rappers of the last 15 years have been Drake, Cole and Kendrick. Ain't nobody getting killed in their music. Ain't no, you know what I'm saying? Ain't no drugs have no glorification of drug use or drugs selling in their music. You know, now, future's that guy, too. I say, what about Travis Scott?
Starting point is 00:31:12 I'm not saying he's not doing positive stuff, But that's a whole other way. I'm talking about the three biggest, the three headed monster, even though it's shit before because future. But we tend to take somebody like future and make future the poster child for it all. What chance to rap, while A big Sean, they wasn't on that shit at all. Rhapsody ain't on that shit. I'm just saying, like, I don't know, man, we kind of like,
Starting point is 00:31:39 we look at one thing in hip hop and then focus on that and be like, this is the whole culture. and it's not. And we'd be like, we need more balance. All the balance is right there. Y'all just keep ignoring it. Y'all ain't putting none of that on the scale. If you put something out on the scale,
Starting point is 00:31:51 it'll balance up. This is a very good point. But great job with the kids. I was saying all that. I just thought this was a. Great job, kids. We love what you did. Keep on doing good stuff and stay in school.
Starting point is 00:32:02 That's right. Okay. What else we got to tell them? Imagine that shit goes so viral that those kids drop out. Because they want to be rapists. Elementary school dropouts. Take Northwest title. For whatever reason, people thought this was weird of Enali Chappo.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Why did that headline say if NL.E Chappo was a bad bitch? That's what the song's called. I want to fuck me too. I want to suck me too. I want to suck me too. I want to hunt me too. All right. Maybe we need a little positive.
Starting point is 00:32:44 This is positive. This song is self-empowering. This man is looking in the mirror, and he's telling himself, I am a bad bitch. If I was a bad bitch, I would want to fuck me too. I would want to suck me too. I think that is a very positive message. Love thyself.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Suck is crazy. We just talked about sucking on dicks last week. Yeah, that's crazy, bro. NLEE Chapa keep doing your goddamn thing. You know why this don't bother me? Because I grew up. Because I want to do the same thing. Excuse me?
Starting point is 00:33:13 What? What? You're saying, girl? Girl, you're crazy, girl. Girl, you're crazy, girl. I grew up on Biggie Small saying, wow. You look so good.
Starting point is 00:33:26 I'll suck on your daddy's dick. That's a crazy thing. I need to see that girl, man. I grew up on Biggie saying I would fuck Rupal before I fuck them ugly ass escape women, which I never understood that part because they're none of them ugly, but it's just like that. That's the type of stuff I grew up on.
Starting point is 00:33:43 So this don't bother me. Did Bethleh me? Something about that? We didn't care. We didn't flinch when we heard that kind of stuff. It is weird that we didn't flinch after that. Oh, he was nice. He was nice.
Starting point is 00:33:55 That's Big Papa. But most of the 90s was super progressive with the gay lyrics and stuff like that. We didn't even care. We didn't think nothing of it. You know what I mean? Birdman and Wayne used to kiss. We didn't give a fuck. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:06 You know? We thought it was peculiar. We did? Yeah. Yeah, I think we thought it was peculiar. That's when things started the ship a little bit. We pretty much shamed them to stop it. Yeah, people started monitoring.
Starting point is 00:34:17 I was when people started monitoring. You know, they started monitoring that kind of stuff around that time, you know? But listen, man, I come from a different area. Like, just to play it again, that shit kind of box. Like, what's the fuck. Is this fucking a wood. I ain't never seen a crowd look so confused. He's performing that rolling loud.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Like, what the fuck is he talking about? I don't stop it on your own face. I used it on your own face. Don't stop it now, Taupe. You should have stopped it when you were in the studio. Don't stop it to the floor. Let me hear it. Let me hear it one more time.
Starting point is 00:35:00 You just want to see on running. He's a kid. That shit gotta become a TikTok challenge. I want to TikTok your band. That little pelvic trust he's doing? To me. To me. To me.
Starting point is 00:35:23 To me. I see that. He was a bad. I didn't say that. I was a bad bitch. I want to trap me to. No. Freak it.
Starting point is 00:35:35 I want to do it to me. Like, yo, if I was a bad bitch, fire. He said, if I take it to him, he might post it today or something, and it'll be all out of context. Like, that gay motherfucker, Shalamine would think that shit is fire. Yo, the suck me line is crazy. Because I'd never be getting head like, yeah, I get why she's doing it. Like, lucky.
Starting point is 00:36:05 You know what I mean? Lucky. Right? You're never envious of the girl sucking your dick. Yeah, that's great. It looks so good I suck on your daddy's dick is way worse than that shit right there. You look so good. I would suck on your daddy's dick.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Nah. That's crazy. By the way, that was the bright line. That's why we got to see her. Like, we've never seen a girl look so good. We would do that. But maybe there is a girl that that's good looking. You're right.
Starting point is 00:36:29 You know the problem with this generation? Y'all take everything to literal. We understood sarcasm and hyperbole. Yeah, it was just, it was a funny line. That's it. By the way, that tweet is so fucking funny. I love when people tweet like this. What is that?
Starting point is 00:36:40 Huh? What the fuck is he on about, bro? Because that motherfucker, whoever that is, can't guard me, is high somewhere. He's got an alcohol in him. He's looking at shit. He didn't plate it like five, six times to make sure he's hearing what he's hearing. He's like, huh? What the fuck is he on about, bro?
Starting point is 00:37:04 Shout out to NLEC chopper, man. That's my guy. I fuck with NLEC chopper, man. I think on that same stage. What is this? A rolling loud recap? I guess. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:37:15 But. The fucking goat. Sexy. Mother fucking rent. What she did? Are that real? Yeah. Man, get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I thought that was somebody playing. I thought somebody did a voice over. No, there's no way. You don't get them fuck. I like that. I love ghetto girls. You know. I mean, because I love him, man.
Starting point is 00:37:56 All right. And then she tweeted, this is how I'd be when somebody hear you singing in the shower. She's absolutely fucking right. That is so relatable. Taylor, that's how you sound when you try to sing in the shower. That's how we all sound when you try to sing in the shower. Sexy Red's the fucking goat.
Starting point is 00:38:14 That is great. She's another one that they try to point to and try to act like hip hop is so goddamn negative. Man, that woman was pregnant. and we're still out there working. Working. You know what I'm saying? You tell me what's more progressive than that. That is the epitome of women's empowerment.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Cardi B also did it too. Cardi B was out there doing it too. But there's why you try to hate on sexy? There you go, there you go. Us men try to give a woman props and here go a woman. Shipping on a woman. Women are crabs in a barrel. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Like why? You ain't say nothing. Just say something positive. Start with something positive. Yes, about sexy rate. What can you say it's positive? It's international women's mouth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:55 What a hater. Wow. What a fucking hater. I'm not fan of her what she has on it right now. But you can't just say something positive or a hater. Not off that video. In general. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:07 She's funny. There you go. Good. That was positive. Star was something positive. Such a hater, yo. Women are the own worst enemy. It really is crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:16 You got three men giving a woman props and here come the woman hating on her. God. Thank you. It's really unfortunate. No, it's actually disgusting. We need to call it what it is, Cholte. Yeah, why don't we call it disgusting? Because it is.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Why we let them off so easy? Why? Hold on, I'm a hater because I'm saying she's not the first one that did it, like mad women done it. Like, putting out other- You can't let her shine. You're not the only producer that does imaging, but if I was giving you your props on imaging and then somebody bought up just some other woman randomly, I'm sure that would make you feel away. Name them out. Oh, they don't exist, huh?
Starting point is 00:39:50 you're the only one. God damn, man. Jesus Christ, Ella, my God. What else we got by any means necessary? The last one was the eat a salad, bitch.

And just want to remind y'all to April 9th,
Starting point is 00:48:41 my black country by the good sister Alice Randall, professor at Vanderbilt. She's the next release off my book in print Black Privile is publishing with Simon and Schuster. Her book will be out April 9th, which is available for pre-order now. You see Beyonce got Act 2 coming, baby. Beyonce going full country, all right?
Starting point is 00:48:58 The name of the album is Cowboy Carter. So don't you all right here with your cowboy hats on and, you know, your little stirrups and all of that shit and not know what the fuck Beyonce is talking about in regards to country music. Okay? So go get my Black Country by Alice Rand.
Starting point is 00:49:14 It'll be out April 9, but you can pre-order it right now. Okay. What we got, Taylor? Well, she's not calling it a Cowboy or a country album. Who's not coming out with a country album? Beyonce's saying is a Beyonce album. It's not a country album. Who said that?
Starting point is 00:49:29 She said it. I ain't see her say that. I read something totally different when I read her Instagram full. She said, go to her act. God damn, you got to make that big pause. Scroll up. Today marks the 10-day countdown until the release of Act. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the supporters of Texas Holden and 16 carriages.
Starting point is 00:49:49 I feel honored to be the first black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart. That would not have happened without the outpoint of support from each and every one of you. My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist's race as it relates to releasing genres and music will be irrelevant. This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed, and it was very clear that I wasn't.
Starting point is 00:50:09 But because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of country music and study our rich musical archives. I'm going to be honest with you, she read my black country by Alice Randall. They didn't want to tell y'all that, but that's what happened. So y'all need to go get the books so y'all can dive deep like Beyonce did. It feels good to see our music can unite so many people around the world while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.
Starting point is 00:50:31 The criticism I face when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that will put on me, act too, as a result of challenging myself and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work. I have a few surprises on the album and collaborated with some brilliant artists who I deeply respect. I hope that you can hear my heart and soul and all the love and passion
Starting point is 00:50:48 that I poured into every detail and every sound. I focused on this album as a continuation of renaissance. I hope this music is an experience, creating another journey where you can close your eyes, start from the beginning and never stop. This ain't a country album. This is a Biont, this is Auxie album. This is Act 2, Cowboy Carter,
Starting point is 00:51:04 and I am proud to share with y'all. It's going to be a country album. But she just said that it ain't a country album, it's a Beyonce album. She's saying, she's saying I'm Beyonce, I can make any type of music I want to. I agree with her on that. It's clearly going to be a country. I agree with her on that.
Starting point is 00:51:18 I think that, like, she's in that Michael Jackson. What's that? Sorry, a man was talking. The, the, like, you know how Michael Jackson can put out Dirty Diana, which is a rock song, right? But it's not a rock song. It's a Michael Jackson song. That's right. And I think that Beyonce is in that territory where no matter what the music she puts out, it is a Beyonce
Starting point is 00:51:37 album. She's a fantastic artist. But like Charlemagne saying, the genre of music that it seems is coming out is most similar to... I think she's a million times. She says, first of all, the album is called Cowboy Carter. I mean, goddamn. That is... She's on an album with a cowboy head.
Starting point is 00:51:56 It's quite a country. And she's telling us that, you know, she did country music. She got into a genre. She didn't feel welcome. So she decided to be like, fuck y'all. By the way, this is what most great artists do. Oh, you're not going to let me in? Watch what I do
Starting point is 00:52:10 Watch what I do I already gave you a song that went number one Now I'm gonna give you a whole album And I'm gonna have your favorite country people on here She's remaking a Dolly Parton song Oh no She's remaking a Dolly Parton song
Starting point is 00:52:21 Oh no no I'm sure it'll be a Taylor Swift collaboration Because I think Taylor Swift album Comes out a couple weeks after her Maybe a month after her I think if I'm not mistaken Taylor Post Malone will probably be on there
Starting point is 00:52:33 Wait you don't want Taylor and Beyonce To be on it I didn't say that I said she's definitely probably going to But then you rolled your fucking eyes Talking about the ghost Why would you do that? Taylor's really coming for women.
Starting point is 00:52:43 You hate women, yo. You can't support no women. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. It's right. And they don't have nothing to do with race. First of all, Beyonce's not a woman.
Starting point is 00:52:51 She's Beyonce. Okay. That's a good ass point, yo. Beyonce's not a woman. She's Beyonce. But the women, you hated on Taylor Swift and you hate it on sexy red. She did.
Starting point is 00:53:02 I didn't hate on sexy red. Yeah, you did. You are fucked up. You did in such a way. It's disgusting. Yeah. It's disgusting. You're a jerk.
Starting point is 00:53:13 You're a meanie. You're a real fucking meaning. Y'all hate on me as a woman every day, though. No, we don't. You're not a woman. You really not. How are you a woman? Say how are you a woman?
Starting point is 00:53:25 You say what? Say how you're a woman. How my woman could have a vagina and I can do that? We don't know that means nothing. Also, who is proof of that? Caitlin Jen is a woman. Y'all let me finish my sentence. Caitlin Jenner is a woman.
Starting point is 00:53:35 There are plenty of women who have dicks. That's facts. There are plenty of women who have dicks. I'm a nationally born woman. Oh, shit. But what is that? How do we know? We don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:45 Organic. Are you? No, you don't got to beep it? Because I'm proud to say I'm a naturally born woman. No GMO. None. Whole food. It comes to me.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Whole food. Whole food. Whole food. You're natural. You're organic. Whole food. You know what I mean? You're the crunchy peanut butter.
Starting point is 00:54:06 What else we got there? Yeah. How do we know that you're a woman? Tell us the other things. This is fun. That's all she got. That's all she got. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:54:14 We don't have nothing else. Chris, are you a man? Yes, sir. How do we know that? You're going to have to take my word on it. Chris, are you Asian? No, sir. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:54:23 I don't know about that. I don't know about that. I don't know about all that. I think I'm fucking Asian, Chris. Chris, I think you Asian, bro. Is Chris the only Asian Jewish person we know? He is. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:54:35 Let me think if I can think of another one. In an Asian. Jew. Yeah, Asian, he's the only one I know. Wow. What are you, are you at a Jewish first though? I'm Irish Jewish Jewish. Irish. Oh, now that there's a little conflict out there in Palestine, you Irish all a sudden, huh? I never heard him say he's Irish one goddamn time in my life. This motherfucker never mentioned he Irish one time on a podcast.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Prime Minister of Ireland, Ireland gave one fire speech in front of Joe Biden. And then boom, I'm out. He quit today. He resigned today. Who? The Prime Minister of Ireland. Really? Yeah. Which one? The little one? I don't know the guy's name.
Starting point is 00:55:11 What, the lepergun? There is a little adorable one. Michael Duncan or saying it is something. He resigned today? Yeah, I just saw the headline. I didn't read the story. But why? Yeah, Irish.
Starting point is 00:55:23 If the name didn't give it away. Wait, what? I don't know what you put in. Chris Morrow doesn't sound like a Jewish name. It does? Morrow. How many Jews do you know named Chris? I'm a McKelvie.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Oh, yeah, Chris. There was a big controversy. that my name was Chris. I mean, the most famous Jew is named Chris. Right. Yeah. Who's the most famous Jew? Jesus, Chris.
Starting point is 00:55:46 That's who he's named after, right? It is. Jesus Chris. That is the most famous Jew. So you are, you're a fucking, you're a big, big old Mick Jew, huh? Yo, what if Gizzo, what if, I said, Gizzo. Gizzo! Yo, you know that's how Moses didn't use to talk to the home, you know.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Jesuso! What's up, plays? What's up with you? You still hanging there? He hired. He's talking about walking on water. Jesus was crazy, man. Jesus was crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Yo, Joe, Jizo told us he turned that water into wine. He know he came over here with that liquor already. We was already drunk. We ain't even noticed. You know what I'm saying? Gizzo. But what if Jesus? Gizzo.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Is Latino and Jews? So your daddy never nutted in your mom? Latino and Jewish? That is hilarious, yo. Yeah, Gizzo. Yo, imagine all Gizzo's homies, right? They believe in them, you know what I'm saying? They're just kicking it with them.
Starting point is 00:56:48 They're listening to the story. Like, nah, you know, my mom and dad never even had sex. Gizzo. Jesus, man, what Gizzo Bion? Yo, what the hell, bro, Bion? We needed Twitter 2,000 years ago. Twitter, 2,000 years ago. They're crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Huh? Am I high? You know, this white dude is walking on water. Man, we're bro beyond, man. Yo, all of them probably used to get that. Noah. Noah just out there building an art. A boat for nothing.
Starting point is 00:57:28 You know what I'm saying? Just think about it. I'm going to build this big ass boat. It's about to rain for 40 days, 40 nights. The earth's going to get flooded. And I'm taking all the animals with me. You know what I'm saying? Huh?
Starting point is 00:57:41 What the fuck, grubby, you know? This guy came by, tried to buy two sheep. I tried to buy two sheep. I got to buy two. Imagine no going to buy two sheep. What you got a plan for the night, Noah? He asked me if I knew anybody with a giraffe. I said, I said, no.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Fuck, you need a giraffe for. No. The giraffe for it, bro. You already hired the giraffe pussy. Clearly. Oh, my God. The Bible's a wild book, yo. The Bible's crazy when you think about it.
Starting point is 00:58:24 It's crazy. Some of the things that the Bible gets the way where we don't discuss. Sodom and Gomorrah? Crazy. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. Sodom and Gomorra was insane because that was the first, damn.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Now that as I think about it, that wasn't the first time we realized women didn't listen. Eve. Eve. But Sodomond Gamarro was a woman who did not listen. I thought they was butt fucking. I mean, that too. But Lott and his family, God told them to get the hell up out of there. Didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:58:54 And God said, if you can go back and find one good person, I'll spare the whole city. And they couldn't. So Lott went back, just find one good person. He couldn't. So God said, get the hell out of here and don't look back. And if you look back, I'm going to turn you to salt. Who will look back? Taylor.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Damn. Turn the salt. Didn't his daughters try to fuck him? Who? I think that happened. I ain't heard that part. Yeah. Noah when he passed out drunk and a kid.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Noah tried to do what? No, I thought Lott's, like, daughters or whatever, like, they didn't want him to leave. And so they try to seduce him and, like, have sex with him or something like that. Huh? Yeah. Can you look that up? That's the Rick James version. I ain't heard that one
Starting point is 00:59:43 Listen, what if Jesus was a Latino judo? I think he is. Jesus Christ. Jesus Chris? Right? Carpenter. No what I'm saying? He's probably just going to Home Depot, get him some wood.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Come on. To make whatever fucking needs. It holds up. I think it does. It holds up. Juan Epstein. Bro. It holds up.
Starting point is 01:00:09 holds up. It holds up. What else we got, Taylor? Bruno Mars, $50 million. Yeah, I don't believe that either, man. You know, here's the thing. Who would leak that, Charlotte? That's what I'm so confused by. If you work at the MGM and he's under contract with you, you wouldn't leak that to make you look bad. Exactly. So who's leaking that? And who gets to a $50 million gambling debt? I can't. At some point, you've got to know you're doing too much. Hey, Bruno, you're a million in. Hey, you're five in.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Ten. You're ten in. You get all the way to 50 before you realize that you're doing too much? No, no, no, no. Now, I will say, though, when Just Hilarius did, just Alarias sold out the MGM in D.C. I think it was in D.C. It was somewhere in that area that she sold out the MGM
Starting point is 01:01:02 and Bruno Mars had sold it out the week. before and she was there on a Saturday and you know you know how sometimes you walk in venues and people like oh you just missed Bruno Mars and I'm thinking Bruno was just walking through the building or something I'm like oh no no no he had a show here last week but he's been here all weekend he's been here all week gambling oh wow I was like how the fuck would he be gambling and where's an MGM at I don't know if it's in DC or Virginia it might be DC it's in it's in the DC Virginia area like why would he stay here and gamble Yeah. No, that doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 01:01:39 That's got to be a Vegas play. Yeah, MGM's in Vegas. Well, no, they might have multiple. They got an MGM and D. They got an MGM and, it's an MGM arena or something shit. Atlantic City? Yeah, and they got casinos and everything. No, it's not Atlantic City. It was in D.C.
Starting point is 01:01:54 D.C. of Virginia, one of them. What else we got, Taylor? I mean, I don't know if this is after your time, but this whole Nickelodeon thing, Did y'all watch it? None of y'all watched it. No, I can't watch documentaries like that. But what is it? What happened?
Starting point is 01:02:10 So basically, they're kind of trying to out the mega producer, Daniel Snyder, for all his... I'm going to be honest with you. I don't need whole documentaries about that. Like, I'd rather you just tell me the story. If there's criminal charges to be bought against the guy, bring up the criminal charges. Like, I don't like to see people's traumas exploited for hour-long documentary. That shit is too tough to watch, bro. And then, like, any time you hear...
Starting point is 01:02:36 hear about something happening to kids. If you're a person, you know, like myself who's experienced that type of abuse, you know, as a child, or if you're hearing about children experiencing this, if you've got kids, that's where your mind automatically goes.
Starting point is 01:02:52 I don't want to watch the whole documentary. You know what I'm saying? Like, I... I mean, why, yeah, why haven't they pressed charges? That's what I'm saying. Like, there's charge to be pressed, press. I think it's almost child abuse if you're willing to have your kid be a child star. You said that before. I really do.
Starting point is 01:03:08 I don't disagree with you. Especially, because I only know this part of the story because Jess was doing it and Jess was the rest of the day, but the story about how the dad used to watch, I don't know if it was Daniel, but he used to watch somebody like kind of like touching his son inappropriately.
Starting point is 01:03:23 It wasn't Daniel. It was one of them. I don't know, but he was touching, they said he used to look and be like, that's kind of strange. Why are you touching my son like that? And then they stopped letting the father come to the set and told,
Starting point is 01:03:35 said sin the mother and the dad told the mother, make sure you watch him, I don't trust that guy. If I got to stay all of that around you, go, I don't want my child around you. Done. And I might beat your ass off GP just because. They were saying the doc too, like some of the parents are like,
Starting point is 01:03:51 because a lot of the kids, they were making the living for the family. That's the parents want their kids to be a star more than the kid. The kid don't know anything. Right. I don't like it. Listen, I don't have no problem with people like that being exposed. But my thing is...
Starting point is 01:04:07 Put them behind bars, bro. Yeah, press charges and stuff. I just don't like the exploitation. These four, six-hour long documentaries because the people making these documentaries, they're not making these documentaries because they actually care, yo. This shit is a ratings game.
Starting point is 01:04:19 They're still taking advantage of the dittled kids. They're still exploiting the kids. Absolutely. Absolutely fucking looting. And I feel like kids like that should be talking to therapists. Well, I put a camera in front of their face and make them relive such traumatic experiences, you know what I mean,
Starting point is 01:04:34 just for our viewing pleasure. 100%. No, it's fucked up. It's fucked up. Caitlin, Jenner, and Lamar Odom do have a podcast. Has anybody listened to it yet? No, but that name is fantastic. You've got to give them that. They announced it at the wrong time, though.
Starting point is 01:04:49 And the reason I say they announced it at the wrong time, like you can't be a pair of people launching a podcast the same time that Lamar, I mean, LeBron James and... And J.J.J. No. Yeah. Or you got to talk about what we all want to talk about. Does she get stripped of it?
Starting point is 01:05:04 Yeah. We just want to see that meat. Don't you guys want to see it? I just thought they came up way more creative name. Keeping up with sports, bro. He's trying to go with the keep up with the Kardashians. That's whack.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Oh, I didn't even put that together. Lamar, you've had an amazing life. Caitlin, you've had two amazing lives. Like, give us something, you know what I'm saying? Combine the two things or something, man. Like, do something. Yeah, I think the balls in your court is hilarious. Balls in your court.
Starting point is 01:05:33 let's pay some bills and do some asking idiots, Taylor because we got to be up, oh, porn hub you'll salute to porn hub, you know? What happened with that? So they banned it in Texas or something like that? Pornhub and affiliated sites block access in Texas in legal battle over age verification law.
Starting point is 01:05:51 And the latest installment of the dispute, make that bigger Taylor Paws? And the latest installment of the dispute between adult content, man, I don't fucking know. Texas is just, what is Texas? Texas. I know a band porn hub.
Starting point is 01:06:05 But like, I'm actually wondering about this. There should be some way to verify that somebody's old enough to watch it. We don't want kids watching it. Yeah, but now you have to submit your ID. Definitely. Do you want to submit your ID every time you go to a porn site? That's crazy. Listen, I don't want to, but I do understand that there should be some sort of restriction.
Starting point is 01:06:23 So kids go, don't go. Yeah, but how do you do it? Outside of that. That's the only way you can do it. Make them submit the ID. Yo, listen, man, I'm one of them old school guys born in 1978. I love porn hub, but I don't respect it. The reason I don't respect it is because I used to have to bring playboys in
Starting point is 01:06:39 pinhouse magazines and a trapper keeper keeper. You know what I mean? You couldn't even have the whole playboy a pin house in the traffic keeper. You had to rip the pages out. You know what I mean? Because it would look too thick and it would look too suspicious. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:06:52 So I used to have the pinhouse magazines, just pages in my traffic keeper. That's how we used to share. Where would you jerk off usually? I didn't jerk off the bag of it. I didn't start jerking off until I was older. Like how what age did you first? Probably like 18, 19, yeah. What?
Starting point is 01:07:05 Absolutely. I wish I had jerked off more when I was young because I feel like jerking off it's like an exercise that makes your penis bigger. So I wish I would have did it when I was young, but I was not jerking off when I was young. Really? I was getting molested at 8.
Starting point is 01:07:16 What I need to jerk off for? I was getting head. You know what's so crazy though? What? Psychologically, when that does happen to you at 8 and you and all your homeboys are sitting around talking about how y'all get in action, probably all of us was getting molested,
Starting point is 01:07:29 who the fuck knows? But then you get old. So like eight, I think I probably lost my virginia when I was like 16 or something like that. I never felt like I wasn't getting no action. Your whole life, wow. Yeah, because I was always getting sucked up you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:07:43 Always getting swallowed up by her older relative, right? Have you ever been swallowed up? So it's like by the time you're 16 and you start getting action, I didn't start jerking off until I got my heart broke. What? Yeah, the first time I jerked off, I cried. Wait, what?
Starting point is 01:08:02 Wait, what do you mean? Because I thought that was something that losers do. You were Jehovah's Witness, right? Huh? You were Jehovah's Witness. It has nothing to do with it, but yes. Yeah. Because I thought they're not allowed to masturbate.
Starting point is 01:08:14 No, that had nothing to do with it. I just thought it was for losers. I literally thought jerking off. I thought you jerked off because you was a loser. Because you couldn't get no pussy. You couldn't get no goddamn action. You know? So when I got my heart broke around 17, 16, 17.
Starting point is 01:08:26 So you felt like a loser. That's why you jerked off. I don't need you to reinforce anything I'm saying. Okay. I told it. So you jerked off for the first time. And then did you feel like a loser or were you like? Yes, I cried.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Wow. I laid in the bed jerking off crying and that was weird as fuck. Did you not while you cried? Yes. What was that like? I was just crying. I was like, what the fuck? And I was like, and this shit feel kind of good.
Starting point is 01:08:49 You said you jerk off on your knees before. No, after I started jerking off more. First time I jerked off, I was laying in the bed. Then later on I started doing it on my knees. Why would you go on your knees to jerk up? Just you. Like I didn't like that shit. busting off on my stomach and shit like that.
Starting point is 01:09:04 You know, I'd rather put that shit on the fucking... I mean, you could stand. I know. I get... You don't get lightheaded? When I stand? Yeah, you stand and bust one of you. No.
Starting point is 01:09:15 You think there was a little part of you was like hoping to some guy with a huge cock would walk in. What? And you're just on your knees already like, oh no. What are you doing? Oh my God. Like a porno. What are you doing here?
Starting point is 01:09:30 Oh, no. I was just praying. G-Zo! G-Zo! G-Zo! Oh my God. Taylor, go to that second story. This is amazing.
Starting point is 01:09:47 This is a tip. Avoid stomach sleeping, y'all. According to the New York Post, one of the main concerns is that sleeping on one's front can worsen lower back pain, a common ailment among those who prefer this sleeping position, okay? Dr. Tony Nalda,
Starting point is 01:10:02 make a bigger tale, From the scoliosis reduction center warns that sleeping on your stomach can worsen neck and back problems. This sleeping position can affect breathing by compressing the diaphragm and putting undue pressure on the spine. As a result, it may become difficult to take deep breaths. Stomach sleep can cause more than breathing difficulties. It can also strain the cardiovascular system when you lie on your chest. Blood flow is restricted, which complicates the heart's job. It can potentially increase the risk of cardiovascular problems over time.
Starting point is 01:10:27 This restricted circulation can lead to higher blood pressure, which is particularly problematic for people with people with pre-existing heart condition. Some people who sleep on their stomach also complain about anal pain, especially in prison. So, just want y'all to know that sleeping on your stomach is not good. That's a fucking... Okay? The sleep foundation advocates for back or side sleeping as a healthier alternative.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Okay. Side sleeping... Side sleeping what? It hurts. Like, my arm only hurts. You don't sleep on your arm. You don't sleep on your arm. You put your arm in the position.

Starting point is 01:15:09 I mean, I know, but I don't want to say. Okay. I don't know how it is. I don't know how the food. I want to just get him with a shout-out. I've never been to the spot, you know. But you've heard of it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:19 I wore a track suit, nice watch, represent with my Italian, homie. Is he going to bring that? Bring what? Is he going to wear a track suit, nice watch? Italian always. We're always way it tracks him tonight. Oh, this is like an Italian, Italian. Oh, a top big, but come on, man.
Starting point is 01:15:30 Like a big ginso. Yeah, I don't know what that means. Is that like Gizzo? No, just a meatball. Oh, okay. Uh, I don't know. Is that, I don't know. Is that recent?
Starting point is 01:15:39 Yeah, I don't know if he's a meatball. I don't know about that. I mean, they're all a bunch of meatballs. Jesus Christ. Really? Yeah. Oh. That's my guy guy, though.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Like, it's my guy, like, he took me, like, I've been to the feast with him in little Italy. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. What's his name? I don't want to say Do I know I don't know if you know I'm or not
Starting point is 01:15:58 But this tracksuit is dope though This is Legacy of Resilience Ooh Yeah, it's the Legacy of Resilience Yeah, nice, nice brand
Starting point is 01:16:06 I like it How do you know Um My guy, Don Juan, Don Juan, Oh, is that his brand? Yeah,
Starting point is 01:16:13 Don Juan designs Legacy of Resilience He, Don Juan has made so many great brands Over the years He made academics back in the day He used to do the Volo's
Starting point is 01:16:22 for Sean, John. He had PRPS, which was a huge brand. He's got a brand now called Art Meets Chaos, and now he's got Legacy of Resilience, his tracksuits and Velas and stuff like that. Love it. You know, for somebody born in 1978,
Starting point is 01:16:36 like myself, I like the comfort of it all. Need it. Ooh, who are we got? Mr. Harituto, great question. He says, who taught you sarcasm? Shokes? Wow, that's a good, that's a good question. I don't, I don't recall.
Starting point is 01:16:53 Who taught me sarcasm? I don't know. I do not know. I would imagine maybe I learned it from like movies or entertainment or maybe some sort of like, yeah, I don't know if my dad was the most sarcastic or my mom was the most sarcastic. So I don't think I learned at the house.
Starting point is 01:17:12 But probably there's probably like a character on a TV show or something like that that was sarcastic. And then maybe I picked it up from there. I don't even think I used sarcasm that much, maybe a little bit. Yeah, I don't know who taught me sarcasm. I know the first person I saw it in was my dad. You know, now that I go back and look at it, I thought it was just humor,
Starting point is 01:17:31 but he was just really, really sarcastic, which is probably why I tend not to take things so serious. I tend to, you know, we can discuss traumatic, horrendous stuff that has happened to us with humor and sarcasm and satire because that's what he used to do. Right. Literally. Like, in most corner, it felt like everybody was sarcastic, literally.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Yeah. Like nobody took anything too serious. Everything was, everything had a hint of sarcasm to it. So I would definitely probably say, say my pops. Ooh, Jacob's Unlimited said, how do you manage starting to get real money for the first time? Easy call, Jacob. Act like you ain't getting it.
Starting point is 01:18:14 There you go. There you go. Don't let that shit change you in no way, shape, or form. But you, see, the problem with some of y'all, y'all getting big money, a lot of money for the first time. So you've never been traumatized. Meaning, I've been fired seven times in life.
Starting point is 01:18:33 So you know what it's like. Four times from radio. I've been fired from Taco Bell. I've been fired from demo in the mall. I've been fired from a company called Industrial Acoustics Company. I've had to, you know, collect unemployment checks. You know what I mean? Like, my wife has had to stand in front of the judge
Starting point is 01:18:49 and tell the judge why we're not supposed to get evicted. So it's like, that's always in my mind. And I've always been a saver. Like, I'm the guy that used to like to, like, I'm the guy that when I used to sell crack, I used to like to watch my money turn into a bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger not.
Starting point is 01:19:07 So I'm like that now. I'm like that now with everything. Like, I don't, I've never spent the television show. Really? Man, when I saw Marshall Lynch say that shit, and I think I saw Shaq say that shit back in the day. And I was like, yo, that's dope.
Starting point is 01:19:22 And I said to myself, whenever I get to the point where I got several screams and income coming in... Not touching that TV money. And I don't... I mean, it's a lot of money I don't touch. Like, I don't touch... Like, for real estate, right? Like, I have buildings that I own that I lease in Monk's Corner. I don't touch that money.
Starting point is 01:19:43 You know what I mean? TV chat. I've never... I've done late-night television. Shit. The last season was two seasons. whatever, whatever. I've never touched the TV check.
Starting point is 01:19:54 Wow. Ever. Wow. Anytime I do television, whether it's a daily show or anything, that shit just goes into, can I pay the taxes on it? That's it.
Starting point is 01:20:02 And that's it. Don't touch that money. There's no need to. Right. Smart. You know? Yeah, that is smart. So how do you manage starting
Starting point is 01:20:08 to get real money for the first time? Act like you're not getting it, Jacob. And it's hard, Jacob. You're going to find a hard time doing it. Everybody wants to, you know, you buy a sports car. You're going to want to see how fast it goes. Shit.
Starting point is 01:20:17 But I buy one when you can rent one. No, 100%. It's the same feeling. 100%. I guess I'm just saying it's like when you first get a couple bucks, you're going to want to flex because your whole life, you haven't had anything. And then you have the opportunity to now buy shit.
Starting point is 01:20:30 And you're like, okay, I want to buy shit. And then after a while, you start to realize, oh, wow, yeah, just buying shit doesn't make me happy or anything. And just doing the work does. There's only two people I talk about money with. Okay. That's my wife and my mom. Oh, interesting.
Starting point is 01:20:47 Because, like, when you see certain things, like, this is unfucking believable. Yeah. And you like, my wife understand because she billed me 26 years. Yeah. My mom understands because she's your mom. She's your mom. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:20:58 And the fact that she, the most she ever made was $30,000 in her life. And she showed me old deeds of like what my grandfather's taxes were and shit like that. And you're like, shit. You know what I mean? So people, like those are the only two people I showed things like that too. Yeah. And it's got to be certain things. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:17 You know? Yeah. Um, Brise Breezy says, which two presidents in history would you like to see in a fight? Oh, this is a good one. Hmm. Who'd you like to see in a fight? Hmm. Barack Obama.
Starting point is 01:21:32 Definitely Barack. And, uh, hmm. Maybe Joe Biden. Come on. Why? Make it better than that. Like who? Like who?
Starting point is 01:21:48 I'm just saying, you know, Barack. O'clock. garbage for ratings, bro. You know what the matchup would be. You think it's... I want to see George Bush fight. Gobbage. Who is it?
Starting point is 01:22:00 Y'all ain't trying to get no ratings. Well, it's Trump if you want. Trumpito! Obama Trump and who? Obama Trump! Come on, you got all the best element. First of all, you got the two most popular presidents ever, right? Interesting.
Starting point is 01:22:13 I would think, right? Then you got the race factor. You know what I mean? What about Abraham? Abraham Lincoln versus Brock Obama. That's who I was going to say. No. Why?
Starting point is 01:22:24 Because he was, he fought somebody. I mean, he was a famous kind of, I think he fought with his sword or something. Really? Yeah, I think he was in some sort of weird, duelish, not with a gun. He clearly wasn't a gun. No, he challenges somebody and he smartly, I think, picked some sort of weapon that gave him an advantage because, you know, he's like six or four. Yeah. Abraham Lincoln, England was out on tickets in 2020.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Yeah, I guess you're right. But Lincoln ain't making a scream, nothing, bro. But Barack versus Trompito. Rock versus Trump is the one. And who wins? Barack. Easy? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:23:01 Trump's big. That's what I'm saying. I don't know if it's easy. Trump could grab him. Got some size. By the pussy. By that pus? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:23:08 Dude, that's a fire move. That'd be his fatality. That's a fire fatality. You know what I'm saying? Oh, dude. I got Trump because the trash talk would be crazy leading up to the fight. It would be nothing. And honestly, the race element alone sells the fight.
Starting point is 01:23:21 Phenomenal. Come on, y'all. Y'all trying to sell a fight or not. I don't see no fucking Abraham Lincoln versus nobody. Like, eh. Let me see an honest day, would just be cool. But I hear you did. Barack versus Trump would be very entertained.
Starting point is 01:23:33 It'd be the best, the best one. Yeah, you've got to go to those press conferences. Those press conferences are worth just as much of the fight. I think up I'm voting. Okay, give us one more. Oh, this is a good one. How has having a kid kids affected your marriage? shows. How's having a kid? Kids affected my marriage.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Trying to have the kid brought my wife and I even closer. And that was like really cool because I think going through what we went through can cause a lot of damage potentially to relationships. So that was really awesome. It's what I've noticed is that like when you have a kid and we have a baby nurse, there's less time for my wife and I just to be alone. And when you're not alone as much, there's less time for you to resolve conflicts. So it's easy for things that are little to build up.
Starting point is 01:24:32 And then when you have to resolve them, they feel bigger, but you're like discussing something. You're like, why are we arguing about this thing that's not even that big a deal? That's true. So it was something that we've had to make adjustment go,
Starting point is 01:24:44 hey, let's not let something fester, even if we have no alone time or minimal alone time, let's address it before it can like grow. But that, yeah, so that was the thing to get used to. Also just being a needy bitch, like I didn't realize how needy I was. You know, the first, oh, dude, the first few weeks, my. Scorpio. But, yeah, but like the first few weeks, your wife is just keeping your baby alive. And I didn't, I wasn't complaining, but I felt I was like, oh, wow, I really like want
Starting point is 01:25:13 her attention or I want her time. And I would just shut it down because she's doing the most important thing, which is keeping our baby alive. But it was interesting to see that happen. Were you like, look, look what I can do? I bet you there's, I bet you there was versions of that. How crazy is that? I bet you probably tried to breastfeed. I did.
Starting point is 01:25:34 That did. And he probably tried to breastfeed. Oh, my God. I, um, I agree with everything shows just said. And I also feel like, yeah, I think kids. kids do bring you closer together if you and your wife already have that bond. Yes. For me, it's really incredible to watch because me and my wife have literally been together for 26 years.
Starting point is 01:26:01 Yeah. So we were together when we were kids. So to watch her in this era of her life where she's a fantastic wife and a fantastic mother, it just makes you appreciate her even more. Because you're like, damn. She's killing it. God, thank you. Blessing me with this person.
Starting point is 01:26:21 Amen. Who makes all of our lives so much easier. Amen to that. Because she's the CEO of the house. She holds it all together. She keeps it all together. Like, I couldn't do it. That's it.
Starting point is 01:26:34 You know what I'm saying? I know I personally couldn't do it. And I watch other men out there who got, you know, children by women that they don't even like. That's got to be torture. That's got to be hell. So, you know, for me, yeah, I think it affects your marriage. It's already hard when you love that person more than anybody on the planet.
Starting point is 01:26:56 That's right. I imagine not loving them. That's right. Fuck. That's right. So, for me, it just makes you appreciate your wife even more. Like, whatever you felt for your wife, whatever love, you had for her, whatever appreciation you have for her,
Starting point is 01:27:13 when you see her operating as a mother, it takes all of that to a whole other level. Also, when they do anything for you, knowing that they're already handling the kids and everything, that any little extra thing they do feels incredible. There's like an immense gratitude. You get breakfast out of nowhere. You're like, yo, with all the shit you've got to do,
Starting point is 01:27:35 you're still thinking of me? That's far. That works the other way, too, though. Sometimes if the kids get all of the, Like, what the way the fuck is daddy played? Ain't none of y'all be eating with the other to me. Be mother. This is every now and then it's like, God damn.
Starting point is 01:27:50 They take care of me for him. You know? Well, and I just stopped working. Why don't we see what happens if I just stop working, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to threaten your whole family. But you know what's so funny about that? Like, you know, when you kid, like my five, you would be like,
Starting point is 01:28:05 why you got to go back in the city again? I got to go work. Why? If I don't work, we don't work. we don't eat. Why wouldn't we eat? Why would we eat? We would still eat. And they would. You know what I mean? They would.
Starting point is 01:28:21 That's just how we justify it. That's how we justify it. Like, we don't work. Nothing like, no. Everybody's going to starve at them. Like, no. Yeah, we got some money safe. Yeah, we're going to eat. They'll be okay. Yeah, they'll be fine. As always, if you listen to this podcast, you think we're smart, you think we're
Starting point is 01:28:35 intelligent, you think we're brilliant. You're absolutely right. But if you listen to this podcast, you think we're just a couple idiots who don't know shit. Right too. It's the brilliant idiotias podcast. Thank you for listening. Peace.
