i learned that tinsel is ghetto i swear i promise you i never knew that tinsel on the christmas street like the spark The sparkly stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a little. It's a mess. I don't know if it's ghetto, but it's a damn mess. No, no, no. Parks.

It's ghetto. I went and talked to the blacks. Yeah, that's old. That went out years ago. But I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah, that went out years ago. I just figured that out, or I was just taught that. I stopped utilizing it just because it's a fucking mess, but I didn't know it was ghetto.

Yeah, that went out years ago. Yeah, but then I started looking around at the trees. And you noticed it. Oh, this is a thing. Nobody does tinsel. That's only my ghetto black ass. Nobody does that no more. I liked it.

It's a thing because now it's more about lights and ornaments. And I saw something online where they were saying actually now with Christmas trees, less Yeah, no. It's a thing because now it's more about lights and ornaments. Okay. And I saw something online where they were saying, actually now with Christmas trees, less is more. Huh. Yeah, that's the new thing. That's the trend? Like the minimalist thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did a minimalist tree. I did a huge tree, but it was minimally decorated. Yeah. And now it's just dead. It's over? It's been dead. Yeah, see, that don't sound bad anymore.

Yeah, it's not bad. The tree don't need to be overdone. Yeah, no. It's a lot of work. But the women always want to overdo it. She wanted to get all type of, I forgot what she called them, the sachets that go around it and all that shit. She wanted to dress it up.

I put a couple lights on it and called it a day. Yeah. Yeah. That's how you do it. Even when I went to my dad's to see his tree, there was no tinsel there either. No. There was no tinsel on any tree that I saw.

Yeah, that went out a long time ago. I think Cardi had some tinsel on her trees. She had a whole forest in her trees. I mean, she wrapped good a long time ago. I think Cardi had some tinsel on her trees. She had a whole forest in her trees. I mean, she rapped good. See, I expect Cardi to rap. That was my first Christmas observation. And my second one,

round of applause. I said round of applause. Here we go. Yo, man. The wives, the wifeys, and the baby mamas, most of them them really stepped up

with the gifts this year. That's what I noticed. My fiance's always been good with gifts but she did a good job this year. I got an air fryer. Parks will not miss the opportunity

to get pussy from his fiance. Am I the only one that notices that? That's the only place he's getting it from. He don't skip a beat. That's how you keep the spice.

All right, Parks. We're locked in the house. You got to make things right. Tell us how great she is. She's awesome, man. She's the best. She's the best. She's the best.

She got her a present for Christmas, really, because the air fryer's for her. Yeah, that's a smart move. That's gangster. That's a smart move. Well, that's what the real Gs do. Yeah. They get you the gift that they want. That they can use as well.

Yeah. And the air fryer is the greatest gift you can receive. I've enjoyed it so far. I did some wings. I did some fries. It's the greatest. It's one of the greatest inventions in the last 50 years, easily. We've got an incoming call, you guys.

And for at least a third of the year, I was saying to myself, boy, do I really just want to make it to the end of 2020 and see the next year. So I'm thankful for all of that. I want to shout out to the fellow podcasters. I did that at the top. But man, y'all really held it down this year.

At just pushing through And finding a way to figure things out and being consistent. And Roof Chris still won't put the tomahawk steak back on the menu. Is that a COVID thing? Yeah. Well, a lot of restaurants aren't stocking a lot of stuff, especially expensive items because they're not going to sell quick enough. Yeah, I get it.

Because yeah, Mandy was trying to fucking get to make all her millionaire jokes because I was smiling in a good mood. And I was like, yo, it's so not about that. Like this position has been bestowed upon us oh i'm about to get kind of a little randy but i'll stop like this position has been bestowed upon us and i don't ever take it for granted so i've been in situations we've been in situations, we've been in situations where we had to deliver with nothing for nothing to nothing. Right.

Yeah. Like and did it because we loved it and was passionate about it. So now for this to be working is so many different parts that have to be working together. Yeah, absolutely. In unison. And when you see that happening man it's just like a thing of joy to fucking watch it would have to be like they felt when they saw hamilton for the first time like as a creator so yeah i'm excited about that i don't stop smiling about that and

and the fans and the supporters because you know we sit here and we do what we do because we love doing it but when you start to talk to the people that follow it and support it you start to learn how much it means to them and how much energy

that they put into just supporting it and I don't think people talk about that enough yeah recipes to the kid Midnight Soul that was a supporter

that took his life earlier this year too that just came to my mind you know what I mean Things like that People you talk to online That put so much

Into what you do And that love What you do so much They don't understand How much that pushes us too Yeah Because we talk about that When we take time off

We're like Oh they gonna be pissed off So they're in our thoughts We think about them With every move That we make With them in mind Absolutely So shout out to The listeners and the supporters We love y'all We appreciate y'all They're in our thoughts. We think about them with every move that we make with them in mind. Absolutely.

So shout out to the listeners and the supporters. We love y'all. We appreciate y'all. And y'all play a bigger role than y'all. We saved their lives. They kind of saved our lives

in a lot of ways. Absolutely. 1000%. Yeah. Even the harsh critics. Yeah, I love it. I enjoy it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. All the memes. Yeah, hilarious. It's part of it. It's part of it. It's all a part of it. I enjoy it. I love it. I love it. I love it. All the memes. Yeah. Hilarious. It's part of it. It's part of it. It's all a part of it.

Yeah, no. No, it's true. All right. Now, with that said, what do y'all want to talk about? Well, it was an interesting week of, I guess, online artists and a lot of things going on online and conversations being had. I guess we can start there. Online? Tell me, what happened? Well, apparently

I was deep, deep, deep in some client business. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Taking care of business. Deep, deep in client business. I believe Meek Mill had an episode on The chatty. Yeah.

Oh, no, that was the other night. That wasn't even over the weekend. I think that was last night. Oh, really? Two nights ago now. Yeah, two nights. Yeah, sure. Okay.

Yeah, I wasn't in there for all of it, so I can't say. I just know. I don't know, man. I don't know. The chatty is growing. I will say that. There's a lot more people on there than there has been oh no

it's growing I told you I don't want to hear about that beta shit anymore I'm damn near at 300,000 followers on there that means that

there's probably a million people on there now just that fast yeah but we saw that we saw the slow burn happening

the invite of the invite of the invite it's a domino effect yeah and it feels different and that's the thing about that that that app feels different week to week like yeah i know i know but i don't remember that happening with twitter and instagram and the other apps so rapidly because we didn't yeah we didn't see twitter and Instagram grow. Well, it was different then because there wasn't... We saw black Twitter get popular. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But Twitter, like now we have Twitter to watch Clubhouse. We had Facebook and MySpace, but it wasn't the same level of engagement. Right. So we couldn't comment on it and watch it and talk about it the same way we can now with Clubhouse. I know that with some of this chatty house stuff that gets leaked off platform, it's judged differently on the other platforms. That's why I say it's tough for me to gauge this, because in that in that meek room, he might have been having a lot of real talk and real spill. But only the click baitable shit or the moment, the one moment where he might have lashed out only that stuff gets out or some of the shit where he's talking about maybe a name he probably shouldn't have said like only that stuff gets out but in the room in the essence of that moment yeah

it might have been a lot of real useful information and i did chime in that room i got in there late and they was dropped they was dropping it in there. They was giving it up. It was great shit. But again, I missed all the whatever the fun shit was supposed to be. A lot of shit gets taken off context when you're not on the platform. And that's even happened within Twitter itself, where old Twitter conversations are being brought up out of context and making people look terrible.

And some people are terrible. But sometimes it was a context thing. You know what I mean? There were certain jokes and trending things that people were saying. There were awful, terrible things to say, but at that time, it wasn't out of context. Do you guys think that context comes back

next year and the year after? God, no. Because context has been dead. It has. I think it's going to die more. I don't think so. Well, you're such a fucking pessimist. I'm just trying to tell you what I'm seeing and how I feel.

Because now you can literally be sitting, you're on an app, literally. Because I say things get taken out of context on Twitter where it's words and you're reading it. You can't hear how the person is saying it. But now you can hear what I'm saying. You hear me. And that's still being taken out of context. So now it's like, all right, so what are we doing now you're hearing me now you're hearing it come out of my I'm telling you out of my mouth and you're still taking that out

of context people been taking audio out of context for hundreds of years this is what I'm saying so I don't see it well I'm not trying to I know there's a business and taking things out of context absolutely I don't think I don't think that business is gonna die no. No, that's growing. That's booming. But for the rest of us that don't participate in it, I mean, we do our part

to keep it alive, but it's a hard fight. It just depends on how far you take it out of context. When you get to canceling people for things that are jokes or taking extremely

out of context, that's trash. Yeah. And I see more of that is all I'm saying. Yeah. Because like we said, it's business. Yeah. And I see more of that. This is all I'm saying. Yeah. Because like we said, it's business.

I feel like people are getting a little tired of the cancel shit though. No, no, no. The cancel thing, people are like, shut up. Unless it's something absolutely insane.

That's different. But for the most part, I think we did get away from that. We spoke about that earlier in the year. And I think we did a good job of moving away from that. You cannot agree with somebody, but everything year and i think we did a good job of moving away from that like you cannot agree with somebody but everything is not canceled exactly i mean

yeah that's all yeah and the gotcha culture same thing you know hey you said this last week right this week i said this right all that shit yeah i guess there's a name for that on gotcha culture gotcha culture yeah for sure yeah i changed my mind yeah exactly i'm saying something different now yeah um while we're on chatty house the chatty house dominating the headlines yeah i did it again this weekend and provided amazing compelling content for the internet you working on your day off come on man a day after Christmas Joe Budden strikes again I saw you trending

and got a little nervous I'm not gonna lie I didn't get nervous I was just business as usual there's always that there's always that that crew of friends

like that's from the trending yeah I'm the total opposite I'm the total opposite friend I see Joe Trend and I laugh

mission accomplished cause there's some people they're just their sensors are just like they're sensitive to this type of stuff some people got

publicist brain some people are a bit more worrisome than others some people have bad anxiety all was all was amazing in the land of amazing in the land of the free.

Now, I was in Houston when all this occurred. Oh, man. You're enjoying a nice vacation. Client business parks. Right. I did not have the luxury of vacaying. Intense negotiations. Don't violate your client privilege.

Come on, come on. Yeah, I've got NDAs. I've got NDAs all over the place. Hey, add here, subscribe here, sponsor, swipe up. You know the routine. Yeah, so I was out there and as soon as I land and check in,

kill a few minutes, kill some time. Oh, there's Youngberg in the room. Let me go say what up to the homie Right Which is what you Normally would do Yeah I mean I thought it was cool

Yeah And it wasn't It wasn't cool It wasn't Did you start to read the room Not really I tried to read the room Yeah

I tried to read the room He told me Nah that room is over That room closed I mean I tried to I pulled out all the tricks yeah no he said that room is over

it's a new room now read this one right got it got it got it got it that was funny that was funny in the morning in Houston when I had a very important

client meeting coming up I don't really know what to say about it because there's nothing to say about it like yeah I don't want to Joe it no I don't want about it because there's nothing to say about it. Like, I don't want to Joe it.

No. I don't want to Joe this. There's nothing to say, man. Yeah, and it's okay to have, you know, you can disagree. I think, and it's only with our culture, I think, that we feel like we can't disagree with each other. And it just be that. Like, it's just a disagreement. Like, you read something

the wrong way and you took something out of context and you head back to that word and that's not what it was and fine that's okay that you took that out of context and that's not what i was doing that's not what i said it's not how i meant it but and you know it just in our culture it seems like there's this thing of where it has to be a uh like a clash or a bump of heads where it's like it's not even that type of energy though an altercation yeah it's like i'm not even it's not that type of energy we can disagree it can even get loud you know but but it's like i think that we it's important that more than ever to me personally as black men more than ever to me personally as black men we just have to understand that it's okay for us to disagree it's okay for us to see things from different perspectives and point of views but

we have we always have to keep in mind and keep a certain level of respect certain level of just like you know energy right let's just keep a certain level of energy because we come from a combative culture, number one. We come from a competitive culture. So it's like, but at all times, I think respect and the right energy has to stay in place because once we do that, we can sift through all the bullshit.

It has to stay in place because I've been reporting on death all year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a problem with the country in general not just our our culture hip-hop culture like people don't meet in the middle ever yeah right it's you're wrong i'm right team this team that right right come on and i mean i did try to listen with with uh an open mind and open ears and i have been seeing a few other whispers of, you know,

with them calling Vlad to the carpet and academics to the carpet on how they choose to do media. Mm-hmm. I've seen a few with my name

bunched in there. Mm-hmm. So, I mean, I've sat back and said, well, is our podcast toxic to the culture? Like I do understand

when people say that. Sure. I just don't think it's applicable here or to me. And if you do feel like it is toxic that's fine too

but it's a way you express that. Yeah. It's a way you go about just you know talking to people and just saying yo listen I didn't agree with that.

And that's fine. Like everybody, we're not going to say the right things. Nobody's perfect. We're not going to get it right every single time. Don't make for a very boring universe. And that's what I'm saying. So it's okay to have your ups and downs and your disagreements and your agreements. That's fine.

But I think it's more important now than ever because there's so much opportunity for us. You know what I mean? And it's like so many eyes and ears and like the world is watching our culture. If we haven't learned anything through this pandemic, we've learned that hip hop culture saves the world. Right. So it's like it's important for us to just keep a certain level of integrity and respect in our culture, especially amongst each other. You know what I mean? And that's my whole thing. keep a certain level of integrity and respect in our culture especially amongst each other you know i mean and now and that's my whole thing like coming off of that it was just it was just a

certain level of energy that i was disappointed wasn't present at all times you know i'm saying and now and that's just what i took for it i'm like i just didn't like the nice way to say that you know i mean it was like i didn't like it i understand like if people don't agree with things that said we can disagree forever. We have disagreed forever. Sure. But when you keep a certain level of energy and respect present at all times, you can get through anything. And that's just my belief. Well, one, I don't take I don't take this for granted.

I don't take I don't take. The responsibility that comes with having a platform this large for granted. It's a big responsibility. a platform this large for granted mm-hmm it's a big response I think it would have been real easy to reply like I said with selfishness ego and pride in that conversation and that would have served as a distraction to what the greater goal is for me I can't speak for anybody else. Right, right. Right? But when you take that ego and that selfishness and that pride and all of that evil shit out of it,

and you're just grateful that the people kind of have thrust you into this position, because this wasn't me. Like, I planned to do a pod. I could have never foresaw this happening this way right it could never be me the guy that spent the majority of his career hated the majority of his career as the guy that they didn't want to succeed I'm never gonna be arrogant enough to think that this was solely Joe's genius

that's why we're here no I was saying in a room earlier like I'm blessed to not be a worker and to be a boss and an owner today because it means I'm not really answering to anybody but the fans and the people because they are the people that bestowed this position upon me and with that you're gonna have to listen to some niggas that you don't agree with right you're gonna have to listen to some niggas that's awfully vague not the clearest in their point you're gonna have to listen to some niggas that's a little more aggressive than you'd like them to be you're just gonna have to listen to niggas right because it's niggas that put you in this spot i think i was just giving this speech off mic a few weeks ago to rory saying listen some of the things that uh some people want to

beef about those aren't the things that joe will beef about for this exact reason. Like, no, I'll let you know when we on high alert. I'll let you know when danger seems imminent. Like, I'll let you, I will let you know all of that. There's no need for anybody to worry. Like, there's proper protocol to go through when you feel that those things are happening. But in just critiquing culture? Right.

Yeah, no. And critiquing culture is, again, there's going to be disagreements in that. Of course. Because people are going to feel like, oh, no, I like that, or I didn't like that, or I agree with that, or I don't agree. But again, the right energy. Yeah, but you artists are going to have to learn how to go about those disagreements. I'm just going to be frank with you. There's been remnants lurking of black media versus artists beef brewing. It's been brewing for a while.

is artists beef brewing it's been brewing for a while uh it's maybe come off as arrogance on some of media's part to say hey y'all need us like y'all can't really drop without us so we should be respected in a way and when i hear that i get where they're coming from I don't really stand by it but I get it but the flip side of that is the people that we hold at the highest of standards and the people we support and the people that we champion they frown upon black media they frown upon black media. They frown upon doing it. They somehow think they get to edit editorial. They somehow think that they get to have a whole bunch of opinions on shit that is not really present the other way around like media don't get to call the rappers and say when we have an issue with something all we get to do is talk about

it like there's some things that go along with let me not get too randy right now but this has been brewing for a little bit i've heard the breakfast club address it when that meg shit popped up i've heard ax said with a few different niggas in terms of how they expect him to go about things and now we have this instance here with somebody who just sounded a little uninformed having an issue with something that with a having an issue with something that joe had an issue with i had an issue with how that yada interview went if that was what the issue was about joe had an issue with it too by the way yeah that was my very first interview and it was a better way to get that message across to the youth right i think i said that on here before i don't think any i don't think i said anything in that conversation

that should have been a surprise to anybody i think i've spent when i take a long hard look in the mirror i think i've spent a good amount of time on the wrong side of the generation uh gap merging like i speak from a guy that's been on that side of maybe being angry at how hip-hop was evolving. I don't think that's been me in a little while. Like, y'all can tell me if I'm wrong. No, I think that's not true. I understand that being the reputation still. Yeah, it's hard to shake.

Because on the internet, it's hard to shake certain things. Also, getting back to the context, like, in the conversation that we had about the boom-bap thing, like, sometimes you're just creating some shit to talk about and make some jokes about and laugh about and it gets maybe it gets taken too far in our conversation maybe it gets taken out of context but sometimes we're just doing shit to have a conversation man yeah i know but if you know where my heart lied then you know i really never want to talk about any of you. Like some of y'all weren't here for the inception of this pod,

but that's how this pod was birthed. It was birthed as a retired rapper not even knowing how to talk about this shit. Not even caring enough, not even understanding why this had to go out, and it just grew that way. So, yeah, sorry sorry now i'm here and

i gotta talk about shit i don't want to talk about yeah right sorry you guys yeah and again even that's fine as long as the right energy and respect of course it's fine you of course it's fine you would want to be you would want to be grateful hey when i first heard that hove was about to be the president in Def Jam, I got super excited that it was an artist now that might understand some shit coming to be the president on the back end. Like for me, I would be excited that there's an artist dude that kind of understands some of the shit with artistry that can talk about it.

And still offer critique, but hopefully in a way that you can at least respect their opinion on. You know what I'm saying? In the past, people that were critiquing music were rarely people that were creating music or have created music. So when they offered, yo, this bar in here was trash or whatever the fuck their little critique was,

it's like, who the fuck are you to talk about it? Right. But when there's people like Joe or even myself that are active in music and we're offering a critique, I feel like you should feel good about it in a way, even if it's a bad critique. But not only that, and it's just something that I've spoken with Joe about personally, it's always going to come across to other artists a certain way because no matter what, Joe is an artist first.

True. They still view him, like when Joe speaks about other rappers and their albums and their songs and he doesn't like them, they're always going to go to, well, nigga,

I didn't like your shit either. Right. That's fine. That's fair. You know what I'm saying? Cool. Sure. But that's what it really is.

It's like people look at that and that's what they know you for. So they're always going to think that when you say something about an artist or somebody, it's from a disgruntled artist's point of view. Yeah. You understand? It's not from a point of view of, no, I went through that and I don't want these other artists to go through that.

I want them to look out for this and be careful about how they go about doing this. Because I did it. I made those mistakes and I know what can happen as a result of that. I also feel like sometimes our critiques, we understand what may have led to this situation happening. Maybe that gets lost sometimes in translation. Maybe sometimes we're completely wrong about what may have led to this song not being as good or whatever it is. But Joe, all of us that are on this podcast and work in the music business,

so sometimes we can be like, oh, man, it seems like the label dropped the ball on this one, or they hired the wrong guy to produce this one or mix this one, or whatever it may be. And we've been completely wrong on a lot of things. That's the beauty in it. That's what makes it what it is. It's like we're wrong, we get more information,

we talk about it, and we move forward. Man, what do you do when all of the black media says, okay, we're not talking about you? And then let people go back to talking to white media that really doesn't care about the world. Because it ain't but four of y'all to get the white media you so preciously sought. It's four of you.

And there's a reason that this podcast wasn't predicated on doing interviews with artists, which I tried to say nine times in that call too. I don't speak to artists. I don't even know this shit that you're talking about. I talk to niggas that I enjoy. People that I like. There would never be a need

to diss them face-to-face. I can't think of any artist that we've ever had here that we didn't fuck with. Hey, that's a blessing. Yeah. It's a blessing that we're not in the business of having to speak to people that we may not want to speak to but thank god i know how to go about that pretty well yeah and thank you for uh dying on that hill because it would be easy for

us to just become the interview podcast but we don't fam because who that be easy for us to just become the interview podcast, but we don't. Fam, because that's enjoyable for who? Right. What interview out of 20 is enjoyable? We got to be cool with the publicists. We got to be the promo run pod. And this is no offense to anybody that does it. No doubt. There's value in everybody doing it.

Yeah, absolutely. But what we do, it's just different. Yeah know i mean like it's just it's different and i think that that's what makes it work is that people know that when somebody sits down with us it's because oh they really fuck with them you know i mean they talk about them all the time and now they're finally in the room and they're able to share some of the jokes and some of the with the person that they talk about yeah and i think that's what makes it dope. But again, man, you know, I love this culture for many reasons. I love the fact that we are so competitive. Mm-hmm.

I think, again, sometimes things go a little left with energy. Yeah. And even that is expected at times. Sure. But... It's a passionate... Absolutely.

Art is passionate. Absolutely. But at the same time, present in the moment. Look at the year. year yeah look at everything we're going through if this doesn't change you this was a year of change as far as i'm concerned yeah whether it be bad or good change it was a year of change you have to change the way you go about things and the way you approach things because at the end of the day it's what is it really about pick your greed your grievances wisely exactly exactly yeah fam i have so much shit planned for 2021 yeah be careful we had a

lot planned for this year too facts you know i mean i know but all we can ever do is put ourselves in the position to see if the universe will allow something. Absolutely. Like, we could plan, but we got to get to the spot. We got to run the right route. Absolutely. For that ball to get there. Right, right. Even in regular years, it was the same apply. You know, we had shit planned, but some shit happened.

Right. You know, this year was obviously a much grander scale of that, but we don't get to choose what happens in the world, unfortunately. Right. So we got to just adjust. I finished this year, and I lost jobs. Like, I'm doing so okay that it didn't really hit me until the end of the year that I lost jobs.

Like, Love & Hip Hop had to actually stop recording mid-season, no reunion, no nothing, no plan. Just go home. Here's your little cute navy blazer that you were wearing. You really killed him in this one. Watch your smirk. Watch your smirk, Savon. Rory not here.

Savon should be on Love and Hip Hop. I got a clear view. He ain't got no love. Or hip hop. Because you can't go in there and be the guy to get dumped. Well, I did. You made it the thing. That's actually the best part of the show.

My sauce is all over the culture. It's all over the culture. Yeah, you made that hot. But I lost that job. Fucking revolt. We had to stop filming. Like, shit happened this year. Yeah, it did.

Yeah. It did. But again, present in the moment. Find new ways. Present in the moment. Yeah, it did. Yeah. It did. But again, present in the moment. Find new ways. Present in the moment. Present in the moment. Oh, man. I want to see what summer 2021 looks like.

Oh, man. If this shit. If this shit. If they let us be. If it's open. Oh. Greatest summer ever. God willing, the vaccinations or whatever, maybe the shit dies down, whatever the fuck

happens. Greatest summer ever. It's going to be incredible. The greatest summer ever. I'm going on record right now saying that if the world is opening summer 2021, it is's gonna be Incredible The greatest summer ever I'm going on record right now Saying that if the world Is opening summer 2021 It is going to be

The greatest summer ever Something else The greatest summer ever I'm never coming home My nigga they Oh baby They gonna be letting What

You wanna fuck right here The amount of fucking That's gonna happen We might be locked down tomorrow Like we can fuck right here The amount of fucking That's gonna happen When the world opens back up. Greatest summer

ever. Oh, there's going to be cum everywhere. Everywhere. You're not going to want to touch nothing. Nowhere. That's hilarious. It's going to be great. Yeah, it's going to be like they're on a conveyor belt. Yeah, absolutely.

In and out. Now, I don't think that the world will be open this way in the summer. But shit, if I catch it in the fall, fall 2021, same mix for me. We here. It don't matter if it happens in January of 2022. Right. People are going to be fucking. It's going to be crazy.

It's going to be crazy. It is. Y'all think touring? We still don't think touring's back this year, right? I think certain venues and states. Well, listen. Atlanta, Miami, and Houston are up, up. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's why I said certain venues and states. Actually, all I've heard about Houston was how everybody's going to Houston for New Year's Eve. And then I was like, well, shit, where y'all hearing this? And then they told me oh it's all atlanta niggas saying are we going to houston i'm saying all right so that's atlanta that's houston and then the rest of the people saying yo miami is up for new year's eve and i'm like okay this makes sense the three places that are open probably gonna be a little nuts yeah yeah i think certain certain venues and states i think uh you'll be allowed

to perform i think also that even states like new york or california that may have had stricter or currently going through stricter lockdowns will hopefully the vaccine is successful and properly distributed or whatever and people take it whatever or if the trend of the coronavirus kind of dying down in the summer was not just because of the lockdowns. Maybe it's because of a weather thing, an outdoor thing. I think we might see even places that are locked down open up a little bit for the summertime.

I see them saying that the new strain of COVID can potentially blind you temporarily. That's got to suck. I mean, everything I've read is that it's more transmissible, but not necessarily more deadly or whatever.

So, still scary, no doubt. Yeah. Cool. This shit is going to continue to mutate. If there's a chance that a new strain blinds you temporarily, buddy, all bets are off. You thought the little A new strain blinds you temporarily, buddy.

All bets are off. You can still feel the taste. You thought the little smell taste thing was bothersome. Not seeing. Not being able to see. For 37 minutes. Out of the clear blue sky. Yeah, that's scary. That's scary.

They are killing Stevie Wonder for filing for divorce, by the way. I haven't seen that. I read so many stupid-ass comments about that. I don't know if he's really fouling for divorce. You know how much of a piece of shit you got to be for a blind man to never want to see you again? Yeah, the internet has to relax sometimes, man. Like, you're a piece of shit.

Oh, my God. I'm just like, damn, I didn't think about it like that. But okay, I get it. I didn't see this. Yeah, the internet had a field day with that. But I mean- I would want to hear from Stevie Wonder as to why he's getting a divorce. Like, what's wrong?

Listen, man. Listen. I get it. That's Stevie, man. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I get it. That's Stevie, right?

Yeah. It's run its course. It's over. Shit happens, yeah.'s like Stevie, right? Yeah. It's run its course. It's over. Shit happens. Whether I can see or not, it's run its course. If a new strain of COVID blinds you temporarily, I'm going to stay home. After this trip. How temporary is it?

After this next trip. Yeah, how temporary? Oh, I don't know. A couple of minutes? I don't care how long it is. I'm not a fan. Oh, I close my eyes for a couple minutes during the day anyway, so it's okay.

I cannot see. I expect to see some shit when I open them back, though. If I open up and anything is just all white. You're like, all right, all right, fam. I'm ready to see again. Yeah, sir.

Sorry, buddy. That's scary, though. What else is happening? Oh, got it. God, we got to put on our whole Avenger cape. Oh, yeah. Do we?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't know. Maybe just you. Okay. You guys want to take some shit someone said out of context? Let's do it. Yeah, let's do it. Jay-Z don't got 30 songs like that.

Okay, so Young Thug recently interviewed on Million Dollars Worth a Game with Gillian Wallow and had a lot to say about a lot of things yeah see niggas never come sit here and do that like when they just got word vomit right like we just be at we had to push it out of pusha t like niggas never come in another thing about that label they've been sucking dick whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa um do you want to hear it yeah sales when you're talking about nothing we're talking about anthems we're talking about songs Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you want to hear it? Yeah. We talking about anthems. We talking about songs they know.

Like, when I perform, I got 30, 40 songs that the whole stadium going to know. They going to know these motherfuckers. All 30 songs. Then that's some powerful shit. Yes, sir. There's not a lot of motherfuckers that can say that. Nigga, Jay-Z ain't got 30 songs like that. But you did with the whole stadium for the same. You got a lot of motherfuckers That can say that Nigga Jay-Z ain't got 30 songs like that But you with the whole stadium for the same He got a lot though

Yeah I'm just saying like I know he do He probably got 50 of them bitches I'm just saying He walked that back pretty quick man Yeah Thug realized who he said

It was like Wait Jay-Z Yeah I'm not talking about him I'm just saying like somebody Whoever y'all think is the big dog, like they don't got the joints I got. So I understand. I get it. How are we covering this?

The out of context way or with context? Let's respect the artist. Yeah. Let's keep it in context. Okay. So in context, of course, he was just using Jay-Z as an example of a bigger act who you would assume would have those records that he's up there with them. I know who he was talking about. I won't say it, but I know exactly who Thug was talking about.

Oh, come on. I know who he was talking about. But I wouldn't say that because I'm not that type of guy. I never tried to know who he was talking about until you just said that, and now I may have a name in mind. Yeah, I think I know who he was. I know exactly who he was talking about. Would it possibly be that? Well, I didn't even think that he might be talking about somebody.

No, he's talking about somebody. For real? Absolutely. But why? A New Yorker? No. Oh, okay. Because it's been a talk amongst artists that I've been privy to be in a room and in studios with, and they've said the same thing about this artist.

Okay. Shut up. Absolutely. Well, Thug later went on to say that he would do verses against Wayne. Is that who you're talking about? No. Oh, that's who I thought you were talking about. No.

And I mean, I don't need to say what I think about that. I've already told y'all, when the artists drop who they feel they would want to go against, that's the light they see themselves in. And they got their own little history. It's not my job to say how I think that battle would go. I don't think we'll get it. Right. So I'm not going to waste time there.

And I'm not going to waste time on what I think Young Thug thinks about Hov's catalog. Because I'll be maturing and take him at face value. Thug is very aware of Hov's catalog. He walked it back immediately. Yeah, yeah. Because he wasn't talking about Jay. Yeah, yeah.

You know what I mean? He was just trying to say. It just came out wrong. He was just trying to say, He just came out wrong. He was just trying to say like the artists that are legendary that y'all, you know, are your goats.

They don't have the amount of bangers in the anthems like I do. That's sometimes true. Absolutely. So the person that you think

he's talking about is a legendary person? Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. Do you think that Thug has enough joints to go against whoever you think he's talking about?

In a type of versus type of thing? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right, we got to actually... I'd be curious to... I think so.

I think Thug has a lot of versus, a lot of features. Oh, you're not talking about... Not three stacks. No way. No. Oh, okay. No, no, not three stacks. No way. No. Oh, okay. No, no, no, no.

I'm just throwing shit at a wall. And to go back to that, I totally believe that he does not know any Andre 3000 records. Because in speaking to a lot of people from Atlanta, Andre 3000 wasn't as

coveted and as praised in Atlanta by people from Atlanta as he is for people outside of Atlanta. I'm staying out of Atlanta business. No, no, no. This is a real thing. I've heard this before.

Yeah, like a lot of... I can't speak to it. More influence in Atlanta comes from Jeezy, comes from Gucci, than Andre G. This is like honestly and when I was speaking

to somebody about that I said damn I never really looked at it like that and he was like absolutely and I understand it but it's just like

I just didn't understand it coming from Thug because he had to have heard the I don't want to say comparisons to 3000 but

the damn we would love to hear you and 3000 on a joint together. So in hearing that so much in Thug's career, I would think that he would go and just do the, do the knowledge on 3000's catalog. But as far as him saying like he, he didn't, wasn't influenced and he wasn't,

I definitely can understand. I can see him not being influenced. I would find it hard to believe just because of how big of a, it wasn't just like a niche hip-hop phenomenon. Outkast was like a major fucking pop group. Absolutely. Absolutely. I'm pretty sure my young nieces know words to Outkast songs

without being fans necessarily. Right. But I'm just saying in Atlanta, the bigger influence Came from guys like Jeezy and Gucci You know what I mean It didn't come from

And Swag and Nieces Come on don't do that Yeah you know what I mean Yeah give them some Give them some credit Yeah so I understand that But um I'm excited

They're putting this While on Gilead Putting this episode out The full Episode tonight So I'll check it out And hear what else he had

because I'm pretty sure this was the one that this did what they wanted it to do. For sure. That statement, that caption did what it wanted them to do. But it'll be interesting

to hear him go deeper into that. You got to look to hear who else. What if he doesn't? I'm saying it would be interesting to hear it. I'm not saying he will, but it would be interesting

to hear what else was said around that part of the conversation. Yeah. Has Young Thug ever gotten a whole verse? No, I don't believe so. No. So why do we always stop the list at Game and 2 Chainz?

Because they're the only two that have publicly stated that they want a verse that haven't gotten a verse. Yeah. Young Thug has never publicly stated that. And also, he's from a younger generation, so it's not as expected two chains in in in game got it yeah got it all right um all right what else is in music uh jay stone confirms that nipsey has another

album that is definitely happening that was great to hear yeah um well i could have confirmed that one for you yeah that was that was great just just getting confirmation from somebody real confirmation yeah that was just that was just great to hear um and again man it's you know i'm i still you know every time i hear nip and see pictures of him it's still so unbelievable man like it still is like something that you know is just in the back of your mind like damn you know i mean this was this this and we were together when this happened when nipsey passed and it it it on tour yeah it really it really it speaks to someone when you could see people who never met him, how affected they were by his passing.

Like, and I think everyone was really, really bothered by Nipsey's passing. Absolutely. So it's good to hear that more. We'll get more of his work, but we'll hear more of him. I'm sure he has quite a bit in the stash.

Yeah. Yeah. All artists do, honestly. Yeah. Hopefully it's not stuff that he wouldn't have wanted to come out. You know what I mean? But it's just good to have that.

For sure. And it's good to be able to still feel that energy and hear him. And again, man, you know, this is one of our brightest stars, one of our rising legends that we lost way too soon. Yeah. So it's just good to know that we'll get to enjoy a lot more of his work. Yeah. to know that we'll get to uh enjoy a lot more of his work yeah and selfishly i you know uh selfishly i just feel like nip worked enough to where you don't feel like this is something that's just being thrown together oh no off of scraps that were sitting around these are the people that

yeah we're close to him that's why it feels that had intimate conversations that you know business they know they're not going to mishandle this. They're not going to, you know, disrespect his legacy and his art. I think they'll handle it the right way and they'll present it to the people the way he probably would have wanted it to be presented to us. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Same. That's the beauty of being independent and family-based in your business is that you have the right people handling your legacy for sure not some major

label it's out of touch right right just throw a lot of people on your shit yeah no no no and maybe they just gotten a lot better with uh posthumous releases since dead wrong came out like because i really enjoyed pop's album yeah well it's it's it's easier now even when they announced the features i was scared like Like, oh, God. Going to the studio, I mean, you were young enough to be pre-Pro Tools era, or at least at the beginning of Pro Tools era. It was a different thing going to the studio. Like, now people just may record some shit here and there, whatever,

and you got a bunch of shit in the stash. And back then, you went to the studio, recorded the song that you wrote, and then you left. You know what I mean? Like, you weren't just hanging out. You owned a studio. People were creating a lot more than they were wrote, and then you left. You know what I mean? You weren't just hanging out. You owned a studio. People are creating a lot more than they were then and recording a lot more.

Well, hopefully this comes next year sometime. J-Stone has an album out now, so go check that out. Shout out to J-Stone. Shout out J-Stone, all money in. I'm kind of missing touring, I am. Missing what? Touring. Me too, big time. I'm kind of missing touring I am Missing what?

More on this Thug Wants to battle Wayne i don't think that that will occur but i've been wrong before how do y'all think that plays out wayne is just too many years of records and music it's just way too much more To pull from Way too much more I love Duggo but Yeah I think Wayne's

A lot for anybody to Handle Yeah Just way too many Hot boys ever Early cash money But if you're an artist Do you want to punch up

Or do you want The best match up for you I learned from you Joe You should punch up right Absolutely punch up You punch up You argue up You date up I was punching up, you argue up, you date up, you fuck up. I was punching up. I thought I was hitting niggas I was better than.

Always up. All this time. Damn it. Always up. Always up. If you're going to cheat, cheat up. Come on. Stop.

If you're going to cheat. Stop with this. Yo, stop this. Cheat up. I know you're picking it up because Rory's gone. I'm just saying. No, no, no. Stop this nonsense.

Listen, if you're going to cheat, make sure it's worth it. Niggas don't cheat up. Niggas don't cheat. Niggas don't. And that's how niggas end up in bad positions. You know what I mean? You got this booger wolf leaking your news. A what? A booger wolf.

You know, the chick that you just like, yo, don't let nobody know we be smashing. Like, you trash, but you got a fatty. A booger wolf. You know what I mean? You run around with her. Now she leaking all your text conversations And now Your beautiful queen Is at home Like really Like this is what you doing

Fellas These fucking Possessive women Are Claiming men Faster than ever now Yeah Like there's an epidemic

There's something Going on out there Man Where you talk for A few days Maybe a good Nice weekend Of communication communication and they hit you with this so what we doing and then they tell all their friends that they're dating you yeah

nigga you dating you ain't know no no no that's wrong no no it's not accurate that's wrong that's so not wrong i mean that's so wrong it's not right listen when women find out I'm 39 with no kids, I'm just like prime meat. I'm serious. They're like, wait, no kids? I'm like, nah. They're on you? They want to conquer you. Bro, they be trying to sneak,

pull the rubber off. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. They want to complete the project. No, no, no, no. You caught them punching holes through the rubber while you were looking? We not doing that.

Well, that's why I feel like such a high schooler having these talks but i've been thoroughly having to explain hey no you meet somebody that's kicking it it's like the exchange of phone numbers yeah but they're not acknowledging the kickin stage out there today i'm learning i'll keep this brief for uh the adults out there you exchange numbers you're kicking it with somebody you see him a couple of times you enjoy each other you're dating but dating is loose you can date mad people yes that's what dating is but today they've made dating the exclusive term and talking the loose term see for me dating you date whoever you want and then when you've narrowed down your choices that's the person you're talking to now talking is a bit more exclusive there are more rules that come into play this is the precursor to relationship

everyone knows the person you're talking to not you talk because you're talking to mad people and then you date this person it just doesn't make sense to me. But I've been having that argument. But listen, these possessive women are staking claim to men quickly. I'm just warning you men out there for 2021. Be careful. Navigate properly. And I do appreciate the more aggressive vocal women that let you know exactly what they want. I like, I appreciate that.

I hate you monsters and the police. No, I appreciate that. The police need to arrest you. I appreciate that. I need to make, I need to make,

I'm going to start making citizens arrests. No, you got to appreciate when a woman is up front and very forward about what she needs. Oh,

no, that's rapey. No, but why you don't like that? Because if I, if I'm, if, now you're about to make me sound like that guy.

No, I just think it's more... I think it's better for both of us. I'll let you know when I want to fuck or if I want to fuck. Okay. If not, everything could just be cool and calm and collective and passive. You don't have to be so forward. Okay.

You don't have to jump my bones. You don't have to be aggressive. It's annoying. You talking about sexually or just... Any-ally. You don't like an aggressive my bones. You don't have to be aggressive. It's annoying. You talking about sexually or just? Any, any-ally. You don't like an aggressive woman sexually? It depends. It depends.

I don't like it if I'm knocked out sleeping and you just start yanking on my fucking. I don't like you yanking on me at any juncture. No, no. Oh, no. Yank on me like. Then don't yank anything on me. Some girls think they can't break the dick. They can break the dick.

Yeah, no. But yank on me when it's ready though. Don't yank on me when it's preheating though. Like my shit preheating. Don't yank anything on me. Some girls think they can't break the dick. They can break the dick. Yeah, no, but yank on me when it's ready, though. Don't yank on me when it's preheating, though. Like, my shit preheating. Don't yank on my shit. Yeah, no, I kind of just want to be left alone until we both have established what we're trying to do. But I'm talking about the women that are up front

about what they want from the situation. Well, that's a lot of them now. Yeah, but I'm just saying I respect that because that is a conversation. Yo, how tall are you and do you got monies? Are you six foot six and do you have the monies? That is a, yeah. They're pretty direct about it now.

No, I absolutely respect that. But it's hand in hand, direct conversation, direct deposit. And they think they be hurting my feelings. How tall are you, Joe? Six, one. Nah, you looking five, ten-ish. Shut up. Is she five, three?

Yeah. She's five, three. You looking five3", and you're looking 5'10". Bitch. Yeah, I know. I know a 5'7", nigga. Broke your heart last year. You was in shambles. 5'7", nigga. Rocked your whole world. Fuck is you talking about with this app? Alright, so yeah, I do think that Wayne

would get the best of Young Thug. Of course, that's no disrespect to Thug. Of course. That's how I feel. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I'm with you on that. Love Thug. Huge fan.

But it's just too much catalog to pull from. Do we need to get into this? There's a clip circulating. I'm not sure where it's from, but it's Charlamagne talking about the Drake era and whether we're in it or not still. I got it. talking about the drake era and whether we're in it or not still i got it i don't know how old or recent the clip is but let's play it anyway no it's recent because wayno said i just don't know what what drake has given us so much music that i don't know if he has another gear

you know what i'm saying like we know we know kendrick has another gear he shows us that with every project drake has given us so much i don't know if he has another gear so therefore i'm not looking forward to anything let me ask y'all a question are we still in the drake era are is radio um such such such such a prehistoric form of of of medium is radio such a prehistoric form of media that it hasn't changed the temperature to what's actually going on out here in these streets i think that radio is a prehistoric form i've thought that for some time now yeah i won't kill him i won't kill him like the net like the internet is if i try to understand what he's saying i think i could see his point in there even though I disagree with it yeah I don't think um I think he's talking about that era where the term the Drake stimulus package existed

we're like artists were going to Drake for that package to kind of home run or jumpstart their career to the right start we've seen it in the verses yeah we've seen it we've seen it uh you know when you could get a feature from Drake and it would kind of help your radio position or your position on the chart. Like, I think he means that era, the era of, hey, you kind of had to align with Drake to be able to coexist with Drake. I think he's saying now you can coexist with Drake

and not align with him necessarily or not be with him or go through him or you can just do it on your own. His position is not stopping anyone else from existing. That's what I think he was saying. Okay. Okay. I don't think that was ever a thing. I don't think Drake was ever stopping anyone from existing or.

Just Joe. I think the stimulus. Well, no, man, we disagree there because it's only we was naming the names off air. anyone from existing or just joe i think the stimulus well no me and maude we disagreed here because it's only we was naming the names off air it ain't but 10 niggas that was existing peacefully when drake was in the midst of his run it was 10 of them i feel like at any moment in time there was 10 10 dudes though yeah and yeah but you know how many dudes there aren't that's the that's the point but yeah but Joe, everybody can't be top tier though. There are tiers.

There's tiers in the music industry. You can exist here and then there's the ones that exist here. Like Drake is here. There's different lanes. Everybody else can eat here but then when he drops, it's still the same impact though

and it's still a such thing as the Drake stimulus. If you do want a verse from Drake. I do think Drake has another gear, potentially. He's shifted gears.

I'm never going to say that. Yeah, I'm never going to say it. He still hasn't given us a real full R&B project yet. Or a real full rap project. Exactly. So those are two gears right there we're talking about.

I mean, yes, this is still, the Drake era is not over. He's still top three biggest artists in the world. He was still named on a lot of lists he probably had one of the

top selling albums this year and it was an outtakes album it was a B-Sides I am but it is good to see other artists grow and

you know because Drake didn't really he wasn't we talked about it don't put over and my name in the same sentence at all

when my B-Sides sell more than albums right and that's that's the problem is the drake era over no it's this is don't put over nowhere near nothing i'm doing while i'm still present unless it's the song over right yeah right then you're good no he's drake is very much still this is his era yeah and i can't wait to see what happens with his project in January. Yeah, me too. I want to see what it does. I want to see what it sounds like. I've said that. I'm waiting. And I'm waiting to see what the next era might be. Not for nothing.

You don't think we already started seeing it with Roddy and Baby? Sure. But we'll see. You know, you gotta wait and see at least a couple years of it before we can fully declare it someone else's era. But there's definitely a bunch of people who promised to Meg would be in that conversation, too. A lot of the females.

Cardi, if she continues putting out music. Cardi settled her lawsuit with her previous manager. Oh, that's good news. Yes, let me hit the round of applause for queen cardi i'm sure that was in the way of us receiving any music yeah that's a good point and i'm seeing some reports that say that she's still negotiating that new contract with atlantic i don't know that to be true or false but i could see all these things playing a part in why we haven't received music from cardi yeah for sure because you don't want to sign a big deal and then your old manager who be true or false, but I could see all these things playing a part in why we haven't received music from Cardi.

Yeah, for sure, because you don't want to sign a big deal and then your old manager who you dislike gets a chunk of it that you're not willing to give up, at least. Yeah. I don't know what the terms were with their settlement. Yeah, and they're not going to tell us. No. Let's see. Cardi filed a $30 million countersuit on April 2018.

Raphael sued Cardi for $10 million, claiming that he had been frozen out of her career. He alleged that he discovered Cardi and played an integral part in developing her music career and public image. We've seen a lot of that from past managers. The following July, Cardi filed a $30 million countersuit, claiming that Shaft put barriers between Cardi and the people close to her in an effort to maintain complete control over her and dictated who she should and should not see romantically.

He called Shaft deceitful and disloyal and self-serving and controlling. Either way, I'm glad they worked this out. Yeah. And I'm getting this from Pitchfork. Shout out to Pitchfork. And shout out to Cardi. Great news. Yeah, Bronx finest.

What else is out there that's super important? Is there a Playboi Carti album dropping? It dropped Friday. What did it drop already? It dropped. Whatever happened, I hope that Iggy Azalea is all right. I hope both of them are all right. That's my take.

Well, he's never appeared to not be all right. So I don't have a reason to say are alright That's my take Well he's never He's never appeared To not be alright So I don't have a reason To say that That's true Iggy Azalea Has been just commenting On Stuff with him

A lot Recently And I don't know Anything about it I just hope that all parties Are alright I have that sensitive I have that

My sensitive Shit kicks in When I see like Co-parenting issues Online I want it all to be worked out. I want everybody to chill out. Because you relate.

It could go different. It could go different. We don't have to do this. But I understand, I do understand tempers flaring and emotions getting high. Not tempers, but just emotions when you're that invested. Yeah, niggas get online and start blurting shit out. Like she was blurting shit out She took it back

Blurred it out some more shit When you feel like Your baby daddy is running off And spinning on another bit Like it's a lot It gets complicated I know I know

Bring them back. Get the graphic designer on the line. Tell him we're back. Yeah. Big business. That's huge. That's huge. Yeah, I could see that going real well.

But see what I mean? Just different conversations, different faces at the table, different owners, different ideas. Yes, you can team up with the rappers. It's safe. Right. Again, hip-hop culture. You can get with the retired rappers. Especially when the rappers got a lot of money.

Yeah. He'll make it happen. If there's one thing Master P is going to do is make it happen. I see what you did there. Congratulations to Master P and Baron Davis.

Julie's been working, man. That whole, you know, the Knicks didn't go to the playoffs. Obviously, they weren't in the bubble. So, he was working out the whole time. Like, you know, they had all that time off. And he was really working. But I'm just happy that it's coming together for him. Because he's a talent, man.

It's a few pieces missing from the Knicks. I wish they would give him a point guard that could shoot. He just need a point guard that could shoot. Space the floor a little bit. But, yeah, man, he hooping. Well, you don't think Elfriede Payton is getting it done? Don't diss him. No, no, I like him.

Just need more consistency. That's all. Got it. More consistency. Got it. Listen, there's been a whole lot of you fucking. Listen, I think that that little wine bar in the Barclays is cool too. I keep saying it.

Listen, sometimes I was there at the Barclays for Dwayne Wade's last game when Carmelo took the fake shot. I was hungry in the second half. I went out. They had a whole little kitchen kitchen area. Food was great. I understand how the allure of the Barclays is making y'all get into your Nets to the Finals Nets championship bag. They look pretty good. But boy, have I been bumping into a lot of y'all. And I sound like a hater.

Yeah. Well, y'all think I'm a hater. But I've been bumping into a lot of y'all that are on this bandwagon. Yeah. A lot of people got fed up with the Knicks and shifted bronze. My dad keeps telling me about the, well, my dad was a, I was a Nets fan when they was in the ABA. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's a good one. He's serving me up. Yeah, that's a good one. He's serving me up. You ever seen the red and white ball? He's telling me the Nets bench is like the star of the Nets deepest team in the league, all this shit. Yeah. Well. He said so much shit I had to go Google the Nets bench is like the starliest, deepest team in the league. All this shit. Yeah.

Well. He said so much shit I had to go Google the Nets bench. You know what I found on that fucking bench? What'd you find? Jeff Green. He's a baller. That's a few. No, no, no.

Don't stop there. Jeff Green is serviceable. Yeah. Karras Levert. Stop, stop. Don't give me the good names first. I mean. Let me do my list.

You want to start with the bad names. Let me do my list. My way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. The 15th man. They gave me. my list. Let me do my list. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The 15th, man. They gave me, who did I just name? Jared Allen.

No, no, no, no. Who did I just, just, just? Oh, Jeff Green they gave me. Serviceable. Yeah. They gave me Jared Allen. Wanted to pump that up. I see what you did there.

Jared Allen's all right. I don't know why you don't say that. He all right. Alter a lot of shots at the paint. Yeah, finishes. Make you have to double pump the layup. Finishes at the rim, yeah. Got it.

Yeah. Hey, then they told me about some guy named T. Prince. Torian Prince? And I was like, yo, they got Tyshawn Prince? And they was like, nah, nah, it's Torian. Torian Prince, yeah. Oh. Yeah, all right. Torian Prince, yeah. Oh. Yeah.

Torian Prince is all right. Like, what you want on the bench? Deadly bench. You want all-stars on the bench? Whoa. Yeah. Killer bench. How will the league survive?

Nah, but name the rest of the bench. Don't do that. All right, then they told me about Karis LeVert. OK. Who's official and solid. Yeah. Shemit, solid. Yeah. Like him. Yeah. told me about carrots lavert okay who's a fish you in solid yeah uh shemit solid like them yeah then they told me about tempeh luwawa carrots and peas cap cabero carrots and corn what not sorry buddy yeah tyler johnson there's some pieces on the bench reggie perry

rionendis kar Karrouks. Sorry, buddy. I'm sorry. So I bring all this up to say Spencer Dinwiddie goes down. Tragic injury. He's gone for the year. Tragic, tragic. One of my favorite people.

I fuck with him in speedy recovery. And this is fucked up because I was talking shit, but I did want to see the Nets at full strength and see what they could do. But now that this has occurred, does this change anything for you bark layers? A little bit. Spencer going down? It changes some things. Because when I spoke to my dad,

he lost that whole deepest bench in the league tone that he had in his voice the day before. That Spencer Dent injury hurt the Nets. It definitely did. But they still have a squad. Yeah, they still have two of the best players at their position. Karras, Levert, Schmidt. The Nets are all right, man.

They got a nice squad. They got a nice team. They do. They got a real nice team. They do. And I think they'll – I mean, obviously, they're a top – talent-wise, a top four, three team in the East. When you tell them you got Katie and Kyrie.

I mean talent wise They might be number one Yeah talent wise Yeah right there So I mean I think they'll be alright They'll be alright

But the Spencer Dinwiddie injury Definitely hurt Their Rotation It definitely hurt Their plans For sure Uh

Uh Yeah yeah yeah yeah Uh Miami Uh Uh South Beach Bringing the heat' the heat, uh Sorry, I didn't mean to play a song that was representin' the Eastern Conference champs

Team that actually went to the finals I thought you were talkin' about the Dolphins No, no, let Will cook, let Will cook Oh, and the Dolphins, look at y'all Y'all not in yet, right? No, but Then shut up Need a rest to spill, me and Charlie at the bar at y'all. Y'all not in yet, right? No, but. Shut up.

I need a rest to spill. Me and Charlie at the bar running up a hotbed. I'm Tyler Hero. Real steppers. Duncan Robinson. Huh? Yeah. A.B. Bradley is over there. This is not a sports podcast, y'all.

It's not a sports podcast. No, not at all. Chris Nunn still there. Drogic and numb. I like him. Come on, man. What are we doing? Miami, they're going to be right there again.

I don't know about the finals, but they'll be right there. I don't think the Nets can beat up Miami. That's my hot basketball take. Put me on the record. I'm still riding the Miami bandwagon. I'm here. What else is really important in sports? I got my Julius apology out the way

uh i got my bold miami take out of the way haskins duane haskins hurts to see it hurts to see it hurts to see it makes me look even dumber uh with my disbelief that the giants picked daniel jones and that clip that Bleacher Report will not stop clipping of me. Bleacher Report really likes that clip. Shout out to Bleacher Report. But yeah, I had a lot of dismay because we went with Danny Dimes instead of Dwayne Haskins and boy was I wrong.

Danny Dimes doesn't look that bad. Boy was I wrong. Yes, it's... Dwayne Haskins just looked like shit. He did. He didn't look good and then he was wild Off the field He made it easy For them to let him go Yeah

Because you can not be playing well But if you still Your character And you're working hard Teams will keep you around For sure If there's someone that you want In the locker room

You'll find a job Yeah What he was doing He was partying with the hoes Without his mask on I think that's what it was Yeah Which is some bullshit Kind of But at the same time Yeah but he deserved it Yeah. What he was doing, he was partying with the hoes? I think so. Without his mask on? I think that's what it was, yeah, yeah.

I'm sorry, buddy. Complete some passes first, at least. Yeah, sorry. Yo, putting your jersey on all the, yeah. I'm sorry, buddy. Complete some passes first, at least. Yeah, sorry. Yo, putting your jersey on all the hoes in the spot is... Yo, put this on. Especially if the numbers ain't there. Get your shit off, man. The funny shit about this is you should have felt super good with your job security when the dude behind you is coming off 19 leg surgeries.

Yeah. Like, you should have been able to secure this job. Yeah. This was your gig to have. In the worst division in the world. Yeah. Yeah. Now, again, I know the organization probably didn't really fuck with him.

I remember those stories that came out at draft time. Yeah, no doubt. Yeah, that there was some disputes about the way they wanted to go. But you can't stink it up like that. You can't do that. And let me not say that because Geno Smith still has a backup job. But he had some moments where he flashed. That's what's left of my sex life,

moments where I flash. You have a little window right there you see. Yeah, a little spurt. So what you used to be. A little spurt of where I'm serving him up. Yeah, yeah. You know you trash when you give it a forgive me dick and she don't forgive. Yeah, yeah.

She keeps saying she can't. You all right back there, huh? Gave her the forgive me dick. She's still holding a grudge. Yeah, yeah. It's like, oh, shit, man. She needs to work. She feels even more strongly convicted in whatever the fuck you did.

Oh, no. If it goes up afterwards, that's bad. Yeah. Yeah, I'm at the age where I think I just lost the forgive me dick. Yeah. Fuck. Sorry, buddy. It's fine.

I probably still don't have it anymore. I'm rich. Yeah. Fuck it. I got different ways to forgive. So come work for me. Come better your life. You got any content?

I think it's a mini-series, right? Has to be. They can't end this after 10 or 11. No. I don't even care if it ends bad.

They can't end this after the 10th episode. I agree. I agree. Let's see. The miniseries is the wave now. We might only be getting a mini. Yeah, but there's so many ways this story can go and grow.

And they're exploring all of them. Yeah. It's moving, though. There'll be a loophole every single time. It's not dragging. It's like, oh, damn, now. That's what I like about this. It's not dragging at all.

Now the grandma's involved. And now the grandma knows the mayor. And oh, fuck, now. That's what I like about this. It's not dragging at all. Now the grandma's involved, and now the grandma knows the mayor, and oh, fuck. Right. Everyone's entangled. Fam, I don't know what your honor's doing. That whole little dinner with grandma and the investigator and my protege lawyer who wants to crack this case. Hey, fam.

Yeah. Yeah, these niggas is crazy, but for the sake of the show. Once Kofi died, I was like, well, okay, the dude that pled guilty is dead now, and that should be the end of...

Oh, man. She's getting sticky. Yeah. Then they blew up the house. Oh, yeah. She got crazy. We're just telling the whole episode, so if you haven't seen it, be sure to fast forward through this entire little tidbit.

The main mob boss is such a good actor, too. There's a lot of good acting, but he's killing it. When he got up from the table mad, you could see the anger. He was drunk walking because he was so mad.
