Starting point is 00:19:34 look at you creating ownership and amplifying black women in the culture especially hip hop compliment I don't think all in women's business is a bad thing the way the internet makes it sound. Yeah, they kind of tricked us with that. They did. Like we could be of help sometimes.
Starting point is 00:19:53 All right, listen. And the big bro thing now. I see all the women saying, do you have a big bro? I think more dudes need big bros. I think it's okay, guys. It's okay if he has a big bro. We should encourage this behavior. That is true. We need it's okay, guys. It's okay if he has a big bro. We should encourage this behavior. We need people to guide the youth.
Starting point is 00:20:07 I don't think they mind to play devil's advocate here. I don't think they mind dudes having a big bro. I think they mind when it's displayed. I think they mind when they big bro someone that should not be big bro. Nah, because they don't know. How do they know who should and shouldn't be big bro? You know who should and shouldn't. How do women know who should
Starting point is 00:20:24 and should not be big bro? They might know better and shouldn't be. How do women know who should and should not be big bro? Women know. They might know better than us, to be honest. How? They know. Seriously? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Women, women, women listeners, can y'all tell me how y'all know when a man shouldn't be big bro? Isn't that women and men business? Yeah, but women know because they know a lot of things about men that men would not know about other men.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Yeah. That is true. Why are you calling him big bro him big yeah but you only know that because that stuff is prevalent in that man's role in a woman's life you can't speak to what that man's role would be in a man's life because you're not a man yeah but if a woman knows like i said women know men on a deeper level than men know how many little bros you got how many little bros i got i have a few not your fucking blood, man. No, I'm the youngest. I don't have like-
Starting point is 00:21:07 You're talking about the younger bros. I'm talking about like dudes from my neighborhood. Oh, okay. Yeah. A few of them. The young boys. Yeah. Just young dudes that I see something in and I'm like, okay, he just needs to have somebody
Starting point is 00:21:18 that's going to be like, nah, don't do that. I wanted to ask Parks and Rory how many little bros they got, but for some reason that feels like an inappropriate question because they white. Do y'all have a different word that y'all call, like, mentees? Mentees. Yes, I have a few mentees. Why is everybody laughing at that? But is that what it is?
Starting point is 00:21:32 Manatees. Manatees. I wasn't trying to be funny. Little manatees. Because that's what it really is, right? Yeah, it is. Yeah, no, a little bro is a mentee to some degree. No, I think that's exactly what it is. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I have a mentee to some degree no i think that's exactly what it is
Starting point is 00:21:46 yeah yeah i don't know your help shaping that young man's life exactly there we go here we go mentor it's all similar here's my question to you gentlemen educate uh excuse me educate our audience if you're a little bro and i promise y'all we have stuff to get into. Impeachment is important. But if you're a little bro, what is your expiration date? How long before you vocalize, yo, I'm not a little bro no more to your big bros? And same for big bro.
Starting point is 00:22:19 If you have a mentee or a little bro or somebody that you relay information to and try to guide and help out, what's the time limit on that? You don't think someone should be a little bro for life? Never that. Well, no, to that person that's always going to be there. Because it's time for all of that to be applicable now. But what if big bro keeps elevating while little bro is also elevating?
Starting point is 00:22:43 You're still a little bro. I don't think it works he's still a little bro I don't think it works like that me personally I think it works like like uh like father son grandfather like
Starting point is 00:22:51 like that shit I think Puff can have a lot of little bros probably for the rest of his life because he's going to keep being Puff on a bigger level even if the little bro
Starting point is 00:22:59 passes the big bro that's still his little bro it never changes with age I think Dre will still be big bro great example uh Puff I like that yes Puff is big bro That's still his little bro It never changes with age I think Dre will still be Big bro for a Great example Puff I like that
Starting point is 00:23:07 Yes Puff is big bro And OG To most people He's been around Sure But his OGs Like let's say if
Starting point is 00:23:17 Andre Harrell Rest in peace Boy do I miss you Dre Yes Let's say if Andre Harrell Was Puff's OG At some point part of the OG-ness
Starting point is 00:23:26 is to move and allow that person to be great because if you don't you might stifle you might step on that sure back to Rory's A6
Starting point is 00:23:36 but that's still that's still Andre Harrell is still Puff's big bro that's what I'm saying even if he gets out the way he's still that's life
Starting point is 00:23:43 but what I'm saying is that's part of that's part. But what I'm saying is, but what I'm saying is, that's part of, that's part of, to Park's point, OG elevation. Move. You're done.
Starting point is 00:23:51 But part of being a big bro is knowing. I shouldn't have to talk to you so much now. No, yeah, no, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:23:57 But part of being a big bro. Like, you should be telling me how you handled that. Oh, no, absolutely. But that's what the,
Starting point is 00:24:03 so in terms of Andre Harrellre harrell and puff yes at some point puff became more he became puff he became puff yeah so andre harrell no he but please believe puff still talks to andre harrell behind the scenes and gets advice and gets mentorship yeah absolutely that's that's forever. It doesn't mean, part of being an OG is knowing when your little bro or your young boy knows and has the tools
Starting point is 00:24:31 to now move on his own. Like he gets it now. So you naturally move out the way, but he's going to always go back to you when things get rough, when you know, motivation, you might not be motivated,
Starting point is 00:24:40 you might need some inspiration, you might need something that's part of that. That is forever. When somebody is your OG, your your big bro it doesn't matter how big you become in life or where they are in their life you always go to that person for personal things and for things that you may not be able to see and things just because experience and age is a lot that comes with that yeah and that's forever that doesn't mean like no you
Starting point is 00:25:01 definitely don't stand in the way and and back your younger brother or your little bro. But you give him enough tools. And when you see that he has it and he gets it and he knows how to move, you move out the way and you just watch him afar. But you always go back to your OG and you're always going to need some type of words and some type of leadership from them. That's the forever thing. That never changes. Yeah, I guess the deeper conversation. Oh, wait, there's another opinion on this?
Starting point is 00:25:24 Okay, is when your little bro, big bro relationship is contemporary. Like, it's someone that's your age, your level of experience-ish, but maybe more successful. That you maybe can outgrow in a different way. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But I wouldn't say that. That's just your brother. I don't have a big bro that's my age.
Starting point is 00:25:44 That's your age? No, you shouldn't have one. Nor will I. Yeah, no, you shouldn't have one. Let me make that clear. But there's a big bro that's my age. That's your age? No, you shouldn't have one. Nor will I. Yeah, no, you shouldn't have one. Let me make that clear. But there's a lot of that. To the 39 and under. There's people that are big bro and people younger than them.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Oh, for sure. That happens pretty often. All right, well, let's talk to our more savvy listeners now. Okay. That's insane. Though I don't think that was a bad call. No, it wasn't a bad call. It is savvy.
Starting point is 00:26:00 It's just the words that, you know, it's become kind of a joke. But there is something there. I agree. All right, let's start. Actually, before we start, because I played ball and I meant to ask y'all what you think your reaction would have been in studio to the producer just playing that beat by itself. I mean, in that era, that beat goes. I love when y'all don't answer me. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:27 What would have been my reaction? It was a hard beat. At that time, that was kind of the sound. Yeah. That was a hard beat. I'm not going to automatically say I would have said that's the one. Thank you. I'm not saying that I would have said that's the one.
Starting point is 00:26:42 But there's a lot of beats that I would have if I just heard that. That's trash. I'm not listening. I would have said that's the one but but there's a lot of beats that I would have if I just heard that that's trash I'm not listening to but that makes artists dope especially looking back now like it's hard to kind of judge music in that sense
Starting point is 00:26:52 10, 15 years later it's like looking at your outfits from that era see it's easy for me that makes it easier for me I understand why that would be more difficult for some
Starting point is 00:27:01 that song was real unorthodox for me when it came out yeah the beat or the song. The beat, the song, everything. Why was the beat unorthodox? That was the sound. What was that beat doing?
Starting point is 00:27:13 I couldn't, all right, let me see. I didn't understand what that beat was doing. And it's sad. So we can get geeky for a minute. It's fine. We fly, no lie. You know this. is fine the Indian kind of sound
Starting point is 00:27:30 that Timbaland brought like the non-western traditional musically you're saying the sound
Starting point is 00:27:37 but who else did this sound work for besides any Dipset member at that time the melodic sound of it
Starting point is 00:27:44 was being used a lot at that time let's listen to it without the amazing i'm not in the studio going yo turn it down for the youtube people we're playing the instrumental to ball and i'm with rory If somebody comes in the studio and plays this I'm going to nod out of respect for a few minutes. I mean for a few seconds
Starting point is 00:28:09 and then I'm going to say next. I feel like 2005 or whatever this don't pull from me is all I'm saying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:18 I feel like you might have felt differently then. It wasn't that 07 right? 06. 06. Yeah. 06 maybe. We didn't win in 06 did we? 06. 06. Yeah, 06 maybe. We didn't win in 06, did we?
Starting point is 00:28:27 07. The Giants? Yeah. Yeah, whatever. Either way. All right, let's try it a different way. If you're in a studio and the grinding beat comes on, what happens? Well, that's a little different.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Mayhem. Well, no. Mayhem. You didn't even think about it, though. You just said it's a little different. Walk me through it. If you go in a studio and a producer, not Pharrell, who dresses amazing,
Starting point is 00:28:47 has the best skin in the world, and is a multi-millionaire and gave everybody hits. And just a producer put the grinding beat on. Something is pulled from you, right? But you walk away, he looking at you saying, "'Yo, go lay it. "'Yeah, this is on. "'Yo, go lay it.'
Starting point is 00:29:04 "'And you like, "'Yeah, all right, I yo go lay it and you like yeah all right i'm gonna lay it but you're gonna build around me you're gonna build around me after i'm done and he says no it's finished and you say what can't play grinding low bro there's rules in life fam if i'm a rap like the clips was just rappers at that point yeah no song like they was just rappers from virginia they hear this they're're going to rap. I know, but I'm saying as an artist, before this is grinding, during the creation of it,
Starting point is 00:29:33 if the producer tells you to just rap to that and it's finished, what is your initial thought or your thought process? Well, I'll say that having worked for you for many years,
Starting point is 00:29:43 you never really liked minimalistic beats. That's not something that ever appealed to you but that's not the case for everybody well and so many records start out with just a drum loop and then the rapper wraps over it and then the producer goes in and changes everything and adds to it a lot of times and that's my thing if you've ever been in a session with a producer that was creating on the fly you've heard just drums come on for mad long it sounded like the hardest drum loop in the world and then a noise got added and it was the worst thing you ever heard true yeah or then a melody got added and it was the
Starting point is 00:30:15 worst thing you or the snare the high ass something went in the wrong spot and now it's just not the hardest thing you heard in the world anymore i hate producers that overthink shit like why did you like this beat i liked it because of the drum loop. All right, then maybe just leave that. Right. Yeah, but on the flip side of that, there's the artists that come to the producers saying,
Starting point is 00:30:32 hey, I need a Maybach music. Right. Hey, I need a balling. Give me a balling. Hey, I didn't- I need a bridge. I need a change up for the chorus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:40 But I can't see an artist going in to say, give me a balling off what we're saying with that beat. I could totally understand after Blueprint. Well, when Grindin' came out. Y'all need a Grindin'. Oh, for sure. Give me a Grindin'.
Starting point is 00:30:51 That's a little different. I need another Grindin'. Jimmy made Ballin'. Jimmy's hook made Ballin'. His cadence made Ballin'. It wasn't the beat that made Ballin' to me at all. Grinding, Pusha Malice destroyed, Pharrell killed the hook. That beat by itself is still fire.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Yeah. Well, that's what Makes a great artist Give me a grinding That's one of the most Inspirational beats of all time People were trying to make Grinding for 10 years After that song came out
Starting point is 00:31:11 Yeah but that's what Makes a great artist Sometimes you hear a beat And it could be The worst instrumental ever I only bring up When you're going in Lay what you lay
Starting point is 00:31:19 And do that It's like oh this is amazing I only bring up grinding Because we know What that beat and song did But I don't I'm not sure what I would have done because we know what that beat and song did but i don't i'm not sure what i would have done in the studio if that beat came i would have thought it was not not finished i'm pretty sure a lot of people passed on that beat i'm sure too yeah
Starting point is 00:31:33 but again joe you also want their names you also i want the names that people pass on and then it was like that's a fucking like we know who passed on Oldboy Right You know what I'm saying Like and then we saw What Cam did with that Who passed on Oldboy again Ho Yeah I don't know if that's fair
Starting point is 00:31:50 That's acceptable Cause he was working on something And walked in But that's acceptable And Just Blaze was like Yo I'm not saying it's not acceptable But he passed on Pump It Up too But I'm pretty sure
Starting point is 00:31:56 A lot of other people Passed on it But at that level You're getting everybody's A folder Yeah Well yeah Including Just
Starting point is 00:32:02 Well what they believe Is their A folder Niggas like me Can't afford to miss out on the I'm a hustler or whatever the beat is that worked. Because, like, I'm not just getting a whole bunch of those walking in the door. Right. Hov could pass on a pump it up and a old boy. And let me try to think of what that would have sounded like. Yeah, I don't know if I want to hear that.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Pump it up? We heard pump it up. Don't do that. He addressed that one pretty quickly. I We heard pump it up. No, not pump it up. Don't do that. He addressed that one pretty quickly. I'm just saying we heard what he did on pump it up. Yeah, got Mano out of here. Yes. It's my friend, but I mean, what do you want me to do?
Starting point is 00:32:37 Yes, Hov can get anyone out of here. He got you out of here on your beat. First of all, no, he didn't. And number two. Talk your shit, King. Sip your green tea, nigga. Take a little sip of that green sauce. We know what the people said about that.
Starting point is 00:32:51 How did we get back on track? What they said. What they said. You got washed up. Wait, they said it in front of you and you was comfortable? I don't know. People say that. Back to your data and research.
Starting point is 00:33:02 No, your data and research said you double back. Back to your data. No, you responded. You responded. You know what your data and research. No, your data and research said you double back. No, you responded. You responded. You know what your data and research was saying, too. The same thing that Jadakiss' data and research said over that track with Maya. You're what? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:33:16 You're wrong, man. I'm not. That's why I hate. You have to put an album out. Why? I'm not an artist. I don't rap. See?
Starting point is 00:33:23 That's like a scapegoat. No, I'm just saying that's what the people were saying though back then they would say you got you you got washed on that i'm not saying i'm not saying that i'm just saying that's what the the the people were saying when i'm and i believe that you felt that too because you responded rather quickly you made another you put another 80 on that maybe i don't know what it was 64 by the way someone can't someone can't get washed when they were creating a song and then someone came on just to write it here joe went in i made up pumping up us as a song not as this is going to be my best display of
Starting point is 00:33:57 rapping ability hove did a freestyle over the beat of him just rapping you weren't trying to make a song the song already existed but. But then Joe responded with a freestyle. All right, let's look at it like this. Because I don't want to spend time on me or Pump It Up in 2021. If Maul, who's not an artist, but let's pretend you were an artist. Okay. J-Bone.
Starting point is 00:34:17 You put a song out about plaid. That's what your song would be about, like a new fashion trend. All right, plaid. When I'm rocking, I look bad I would never make a song like that okay you would how do we know you're not already your first song be I would never I would never play I would never do that

Starting point is 00:34:52 Yeah, see? But when Moe rocks that, he look bad. See? Now all the haters is, uh, come on. It makes Joe Rock look like he's five. That's what that breaking beat does. That's why you turn it down. Oh, I know you have more sauce on.

You put your song out, Plaid, about it. For years. Something that will play for years at cookouts. Let's look at this. You put your song out, Plaid, right? Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:37:23 Are they yours anymore? James Harden got traded from the Houston Rockets to the Brooklyn Nets. This is not a sports podcast, and normally we wouldn't begin with sports, but this affects us in so many different ways. No, it does not. Much cheaper. Speak for yourself. Yeah, me.
Starting point is 00:37:38 No, it does not. Yeah. I'm fucking watching that Brooklyn Road schedule. I bet you are. Don't do that. Okay, my bad. I like road games. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And Durant. Yeah. Shorty, you've been asking to come to New York for two years. Going to be right on that hardwood at the Barclays. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Yo, the allure of New York is making it really tough to get them to fly to me. They like, yo, it's open still? I'm like, ah, Jersey. I'm at it's cool. They're like, nigga, I open still? I'm like, ah, Jersey? I'm at it's cool. They're like, nigga, I don't care about Jersey.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Is New York open or not? Nah. James Harden was traded from the Rockets to the Brooklyn Nets in what has to be one of the worst trades that I've ever seen on paper. And for some reason, none of the ESPN analysts and experts are saying that. What? You mean Jared Allen was one of the- This is one of the worst trades ever.
Starting point is 00:38:25 All due respect to all parties involved. These are great players, but what the fuck is this? I mean, what were you going to get? Stop it. I don't know. What were you going to get? We know the Nets weren't giving up. I'm giving you four draft picks and four pick swaps? That's supposed to run until 2027?
Starting point is 00:38:48 They're all in for right now and i already have a guard that does all of the things that you do this is when some people are going to jump in and tell me kairi irving doesn't do all the same things that james harden does i'm not dignifying that conversation yeah i've seen uh shannon sharp had he called kairi a butler i've been a little i've been a little upset at at upset at some of the way that the media and press has handled Kyrie. Yeah, I didn't like Stephen A. Smith saying that Kyrie should retire. I don't think Stephen A. should have said that. Well, he said if his heart's not in basketball, he should retire. Oh, okay. It's not true.
Starting point is 00:39:19 You know how many niggas are working a job where their heart is not in? Right. And I think Kyrie's heart is in basketball. Who says his heart is not in basketball? Yeah, unfair. Like, that's the part I didn't like. Well, they're saying that those are the whispers behind the scenes that he's on his activist shit. But, I mean, he's been on the activist.
Starting point is 00:39:34 That's who you are. You can do both, by the way. Yeah, we just saw players in a bubble be on their activist shit and still play basketball. Yeah, I just didn't like that. I don't like the way that people— Yeah, but they had the fire turned up low. Like, they had to step away from the stove for a little while. Kyrie's shit play basketball like that's it yeah i just didn't i didn't like that i don't like yeah but they had the fire they had the fire turned up low like they had to step away from the stove for a little while kairi shit ain't like that it's up yeah like what you're talking about niggas in the bud niggas in the bubbles activists yeah i know medium activists
Starting point is 00:39:54 but let's talk about but let's talk about lukewarm yeah but let's talk about the other side of kairi when he does step on that court though let's talk about that that's best like his heart's best best ball handler in the world i'm just i'm just i just don't like the way people are trying to make Kyrie seem like he's a troublemaker. I don't like the way they're trying to make it seem like he doesn't know the game. Enough of that. Tell me what you think about what I called you about and asked you about that you can't say. Oh, there's no validity to that. Got it.
Starting point is 00:40:19 I'm sure our listeners really love when you guys do that. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, something. I don't care. It's none of your business. Yeah, I'm all for that. Yeah, no, there's no validity do that. I don't give a fuck. I don't care. It's none of your business. Yeah, I'm all for that. Yeah, no, there's no validity to that. Okay, and what I was saying is I hit Marlon
Starting point is 00:40:30 and heard that it was reasons outside of basketball that he wanted to be out of there. Oh, okay, gotcha. That's all. Marlon's saying that's not true. But Marlon said LeBron was a Knick, and we celebrated, so. We went out that night on the strip for Marlon.
Starting point is 00:40:43 He bought the jersey. No, he's coming. They told me. Why was I out herepper mall bought the jersey no he's coming they told me why was I bought the custom jersey you fucking I don't think I ever said that I'll let you have that
Starting point is 00:40:50 I don't think I ever said I don't think I ever said LeBron was coming to me I'm just picturing Joe going out to celebrate that night I went out that night I took it to 14th street I don't think I've ever said that
Starting point is 00:41:00 but okay I went right to Lotus hey he's on his way I don't think I ever said that but but okay. I went right to Lotus. Hey! He's on his way. I don't think I ever said that, but all right. Listen, James Harden is in Brooklyn now. How does this affect your roster?
Starting point is 00:41:12 Are there coaching changes that you need to make? How are you as an organization planning for one of the biggest and baddest to hit town? I'm great, man. We don't hang out in the same places. Ayo what? You think I'm talking about his dick size right now? Is that what you think? Is that why you're ayo-ing me?
Starting point is 00:41:27 I'm not playing with you niggas here. What are you saying? This doesn't affect me at all. You know I don't play in them same streets that he plays in. I don't do that.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Listen. Tossing a Rory. Maybe we should get lying out of 2021. You got to call a spade a spade in 2021. We're not doing that. I'm lying?
Starting point is 00:41:44 We have to take potting to the next level. I'm lying. We're responsible for teaching people how to pot. Let's get chatty and gossipy real quick. You don't think you and Harden are Eskimo brothers? What does that have to do with me not being worried about you? I love chatting and gossipy.
Starting point is 00:41:55 What are you talking about? No, that's what you're saying. What does that have to do with me? What does that have to do with me not being worried about you? LeVon's so offended. Yeah, I'm trying to figure out What does that have to do with me Like You said you don't play

You just said you don't play in the same streets and you don't go to strip clubs. Wait, wait, wait. I put that on his jacket? The entire ESPN put that on his jacket.

Starting point is 00:54:59 And see if this changes His lifestyle Let me get your phone And just pick a random number To call for what Talk to Why do you call people No Alright forget it and see if this changes his lifestyle. Let me get your phone and just pick a random number. To call for what? Talk to. Why do you call people?
Starting point is 00:55:06 No. All right, forget it. Is Kyrie ever coming back to play? Yes. Yes. He's going back. People were saying that Kyrie did this so he wouldn't be involved in that trade. That's what they're trying to say.
Starting point is 00:55:20 He kind of turned Houston off. We don't know what he want to do. I don't think that's true. But that's just a rumor. They don't take COVID seriously in Houston. No, they don't. At all. I would never trade all those people.
Starting point is 00:55:32 That's just me. For James? Yeah. You would. If I have Kyrie Irving? No, I would not. You would because it almost puts you in the finals immediately. I disagree with that, but we'll see.
Starting point is 00:55:44 I'm just saying. But don't you have to win? The goal is not to get there. Yeah. No, the goal is to win now. This is to win. Shut up. Do you think they can beat the Lakers right now?
Starting point is 00:55:53 I'm not saying. I'm asking you. Just right now. That could change later. But right today, he just got there. So we don't know. And I think they're going to make more moves. But just looking at the team right now, they're going to get their veteran mem.
Starting point is 00:56:03 Yes. What's it called? Veteran mem, right? Exception. Yes. The mid-level. They got the mid-level nigg their veteran mem. Yes, yes. What's it called? Veteran mem, right? They got exception. Yes, I do. The mid-level. They got the mid-level niggas to death. Yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Okay. I do. Okay. All right, let's leave this here. I seen KD versus Braun in the finals enough years. No, you didn't. You saw KD and Steph and Klay and them in the finals. And now I get to see KD, James, and Kyrie.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Who going to smack who first? As far as what? Beef? Yeah. Nah, these three get along. They fuck with each other. We all get along until it's two minutes left in game seven. We've seen it.
Starting point is 00:56:33 We've seen they work, though. We've seen Kevin's work in the finals. We've seen Kyrie's work in the finals. I know. We've also seen Kevin and Durant or Kevin and Harden in the finals. Yeah. I've also seen people look Durant off in clutch time. Probably the wrong person to do that to. Who looked him off?
Starting point is 00:56:47 Westbrook. In the finals? No, I remember that. It was the playoffs. No, it was the conference finals. Listen, James is the one you need to worry about. I've seen James look people off. No, we've seen James not show up in the playoffs. We've seen him not show up in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:57:04 That's like on record. He has like one of the worst playoff percentages in like history. I like this topic because as men a lot, we talk about when, for lack of a better term, when two bad bitches in the room.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Right? And just how that can get tough. But now we're seeing what you do when there's two alpha niggas. I'm not talking about Durant because he's a unicorn. He's from a different planet.
Starting point is 00:57:26 If you James Harden, you come in and you feel like, I'm the nicest dude in the world. Kyrie has felt like that forever as well. They both kind of do the same thing. They're ball-dominant guards. With handle. Yeah. I'm rolling with Kyrie, though.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Well, me too because Kyrie has won it. Right. Like, I saw that shot he took with Steph twice, almost. Two shots. And I saw him average 27 in the finals. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not rolling with it. I don't think this is good, Mo.
Starting point is 00:57:57 I don't. You don't think it's a good fit? I don't think anything about it is good. Here's what I think. I will watch it, because it will be super entertaining. I don't even rank this that high in the big threes. I just don't think this is a... Nah, it's a pretty big, big three.
Starting point is 00:58:09 I know this won't happen. It's a crazy big three. I know this won't happen. Let's play the big three game then. Let's start with the original. Okay. Celtics. Magic.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Kareem. I'm saying where the word big three came from. And James Worthy. Now we're talking about modern big three, I think saying where the word big three came from. And James Worthy. Now we're talking about modern big three, I think. Yeah, but that was a myth. And this is not a sports podcast, so let's get through this quick. Big threes, super teams, they've been around. Philly had one.
Starting point is 00:58:36 The Celtics had one. The Lakers had one. The Celtics had another one. The Miami had one. Like, niggas had one. I don't rank this big three in the top three of big threes. That's Joe. Now, if they prove me wrong.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Why? Because I just think they're three individual. Well, Kevin Durant is different. You can put him anywhere. It's going to work. But in totality, they're three individually great men. So is the Heat team. No.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Yeah, they were. What? Chris Bosh was a franchise player before he went to Miami. Dwayne Wade was the franchise player in Miami. And LeBron was a franchise player in Cleveland. They sat Chris Bosh down in Applebee's and said, before you get here, this is what it is. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Wait, let me finish my point. Let me finish what I'm saying. But let me finish my point. He was a franchise player before when they got him but my point was they're not three solely individual players that were great chris bosh before he signed in a dotted line was down to share duane wade in month three said yo you have to be the best i can't do it that's what i meant they were willing to give it well that's when it actually comes together i have to see that happen with this particular group
Starting point is 00:59:46 is all I'm saying me personally I think and I know it won't happen if James ain't on the ball what's he doing hopefully is he setting the screen
Starting point is 00:59:53 is he running the back the back pick is he spotting up in the corner is he grabbing a board is he boxing out what is he doing same with Kyrie we've seen it before
Starting point is 01:00:01 if Kyrie don't have the ball I ain't seen him do shit without the ball Oklahoma City he was moving without the ball Oklahoma City he was moving without the ball and getting open jumpers they were all different players at that time
Starting point is 01:00:08 that's true 100% true he should go back to that role I was going to say that he should be the six man if I'm James I'm the six man and you have no
Starting point is 01:00:15 they have no scoring off the bench y'all have no idea if they didn't take him to the Applebee's on Atlanta let's move on let's get the music y'all
Starting point is 01:00:22 let's get the music look at the bench let's just get the music look at who they have let's get the music I'm just saying. Yo, let's get the music. Look at the bench. Let's just get the music. Look at who they have. Let's get the music. I'm just saying, if I'm James, I'd be like, yo, listen, you know what? Because everybody already thinks he's going to come in and try to be ball dominant.
Starting point is 01:00:32 They already think that off top. He go in and be like, yo, bring me off the bench. Let me be the six man. Let me just come in and score and run offense. Yo, for 2021. Why not? Can we give Maul, you know how we do the thing with the text and it's a clip? Can Maul have his own every week?
Starting point is 01:00:51 Because I think that should be highlighted. You think that's a bad idea? I think that. I just don't think it'll happen. I don't think there's any way. Look at that. I think it's a good idea. There's nobody there. There's nobody coming off the bench.
Starting point is 01:01:01 For now. They want to win right now. This is what I'm trying to tell you. So you need to do what's best for the team right now well now that you have your team hat on i have my james hat on and if i won however many multiple scoring titles you haven't won if i haven't won 150 man the last time you had this talk wait wait hold on the last time he got to the final position he played he was a six man the last time he went to the finals with OKC. He was a six man. Who did that?
Starting point is 01:01:26 What coach did that? What you mean? It worked. I'm just asking. I'm not yelling. It worked. Was it Scott Brooks? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:30 It worked. I think it was Scott Brooks. I just wanted to laugh at Billy Donovan for a little bit. You attacked me. No, but I'm saying it worked. I know that wasn't Billy Donovan. It worked.
Starting point is 01:01:37 I'm just saying do what works. You don't have no bench. Spencer Dinwiddie's out for the year. You have Karis LeVert. You trade it. You have no scoring coming off the bench. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:45 I'm just saying, be smart. Just be smart. Can I use that as a promo clip? Can I put more things James Harden should come off the bench
Starting point is 01:01:52 in his new role with the Knicks? Why not? You think I'm scared to highlight a clip of Santa? Why does that sound insane? Come on, camera.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Why does that sound insane? You want to get a clean shot? You act like he wasn't a six man. I got it, man. Come on. Why not? For this roster?
Starting point is 01:02:09 I don't even know these dudes. I don't know any of those first three dudes. He's an antifa. I don't know these dudes. I thought Nicholas Claxton was a little dirt. When it's basketball, he's clear as can be. That's what I'm saying. I don't know these dudes.
Starting point is 01:02:23 You going to bring one of them off the bench and say score? Can we talk about music? I'm just saying, bro. So you think Joe Harris should start? Yeah, why not? A lot of new music. Didn't drop.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Was not released. We got a Division Deluxe. Don't just say it like that. Four new records. Don't just say it like that. Those are my guys. was not released.

I can't believe he successfully flipped this record. Well, the lyrics are R&B. I've always felt that. I've always felt like that
Starting point is 01:08:35 about that Kings and Leon record. The lyrics are R&B. Can somebody tell me what's up with Kings and Leon? I don't know. It's been some time. They just left. They just came and left.

Starting point is 01:08:53 I love Party too much to ask my coals who's better now between you and Party. So I won't. 2008. They make completely different music to me.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Oh, God. They came out 2008. Oh, shit. Got it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not going to compare them just because they're on the same label. They make totally different type of music. Oh.
Starting point is 01:09:08 I would never compare those two. Oh. We've never compared anything that's different. I don't think it's a fair comparison. Probably not, but so? So what? Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Kings of Leon has an album coming out. And wait a minute. We got two, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Kings of Leon has an album coming out. And wait a minute. They got two singles out right now. Yeah?

Starting point is 01:09:39 So I go. That's dope. So I go to iTunes, because I even forgot that it was Thursday and time to buy music. I go. That's dope. So I go to iTunes because I even forgot that it was Thursday and time to buy music. I forgot. Because you still busy. But Division sent me there mad busy, bro. I told you I'm not playing with 2020, 2021. So I go to iTunes.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Division sends me there. And I know that the industry is still quote unquote closed, but still I looked at the new singles, right? Did y'all do, but still I looked at the new singles, right? Did y'all do that? No. Look at the new singles? I looked at the new albums. I looked at both.
Starting point is 01:10:12 Today I'm sorry. And right on the last pillar, that's when you swipe like five times, four times. I saw SZA's name. I thought it was a mistake. Did y'all see SZA's name? No. Again, I looked at albums. Don't touch your phone. Don't touch your phone. I want it was a mistake. Did y'all see Scissor's name? No, again, I looked it up. Don't touch your phone.
Starting point is 01:10:28 I want to look at the pillars. I don't want you to yet. You can do it in two seconds. It was quiet. No, it wasn't really quiet. That song was like number one. Fam, Good Days is killing me. I came on this podcast when I was sick of Corona and said, hey, that came out right before
Starting point is 01:10:44 Christmas. It's been a while. It came out right before Christmas it's been a while it came out like right before Christmas it was the song that was at the end it's even a shame that three weeks is a while Joe it was the song
Starting point is 01:10:50 that was at the end of the last the Ty Dolla $ign video and dude oh the one that we heard that we said sounds amazing and when is that coming out
Starting point is 01:10:58 the producer that did something on MM4 he did I forgot what the record was called Mason well no Hit Different no we're not talking about Hit Different we're talking about Good Day oh well yeah MM4, he did. I forgot what the record was called. Mason. Well, no, Hit Different. No, we're not talking about Hit Different.
Starting point is 01:11:08 We're talking about Good Days. Oh, well, yeah. I tried to bring up when it came, but I was via Zoom. Good Days has been on repeat in my house every single day. Then why haven't we talked about it in this podcast? I did. From Zoom, I said, hey, is anyone paying attention that SZA is two for two? Like, that Good Days record is fucking insane. I said that before. That's record is fucking insane well either way this is my favorite record right now fam by far mine too this record is nuts
Starting point is 01:11:33 that that uh Jasmine and her record is no I'm not mad at that Say that again, Rory, because it's important. Sad scissor is my shit. I thought you said sad season, but same thing. Same. Fam, what is this beautifulness? That's scissor. He did If All Else Fails off MM4. The producer did that.
Starting point is 01:12:03 Oh, really? Yeah. Look at that. Somehow, all the people that gave me the bad beats. No, that was a great beat. I'm just talking about by the fans. I'm talking about by the fans' accounts. Not me.
Starting point is 01:12:14 This record reminds me of my favorite SZA record, Sobriety. When she gets in this bag, I'm going to cry by myself asleep to this record for sure. When you do this, you can just let the music. Don't ever look at me like that. There's so much y'all niggas crying after they're asleep. Live a little more. I don't want to cry myself to sleep. That's not a good way to go to sleep.
Starting point is 01:12:35 It is when scissors blank. Oh, my God. Y'all are crazy. Great record, though. How do you sleep? With your arms folded? I just pass out. Like a vampire?
Starting point is 01:12:42 I pass out. I don't know how to sleep. I pass out. The B-boy out i don't know how to pass out i'd rather fall asleep like that than be crying cry yourself to sleep i don't be crying i don't know how to sleep like you're just lamping a little bit i just pass out i ain't crying i'm crying yourself to sleep is fucking crazy that's nuts yo some people that have been listening to this pod for a while like y'all never understand when i call certain music low quality music y'all think i'm being a dickhead this and sometimes you are to be clear what song have i ever said was low quality that
Starting point is 01:13:22 wasn't low quality? No, no. Are you writing that in green with you? That sounds like a Savon job. Savon, pull it up. It's just insane that you're going to do that. I understand what you're saying. This is the exact opposite of that. This is like,
Starting point is 01:13:37 I don't even know how to describe this. I thought this was new last night when I heard it. No, man. It's been a couple weeks. This has been my favorite record. Well, because that's the problem when you drop when the industry is shut down and there's no promoting the labels is closed or whatever like sisa can't retire after this she has a couple times yeah she will always find a way to make you call the girl that you deaded or call the girl that you was alright with dead
Starting point is 01:14:05 And now you miss her again And the girl will call you even though you did her dirty That's what music does That's what good music does A girl left a card under my door the other day A business card or a Hallmark card? It was a Hallmark card Oh okay
Starting point is 01:14:22 That's nice No it was a girl I stopped talking to. Oh. Well, she, if you block her and everything. She just pulled up and slid a card
Starting point is 01:14:29 under your door and left? I don't do that, Rory. You do that? No, I don't even know how to block people. I'm dead ass. I have zero clue how to block people.
Starting point is 01:14:36 I don't do that. And when I go to your page years later and I'm still blocked, I'm like, look at you, still tight. Why are you tight all these years later? No, I thought it was
Starting point is 01:14:44 pretty smooth, actually. I meant numbers. I know how to block people on Twitter and IG for sure. But I don't know Why are you tight All these years later No I thought it was Pretty smooth actually I meant numbers I know how to block people On Twitter and IG for sure But I don't know how you Block a number on your phone Yeah It was a card inviting me
Starting point is 01:14:52 To a date Oh I kind of That's romantic That's kind of swaggy I'm not mad at her It's real swaggy We didn't have the biggest
Starting point is 01:14:59 Fight ever last time It's the swaggiest thing ever If I didn't call the police When you have to call And the man has to call the police and that's a fuck their boat to be in because that's when you're standing by your door saying you know i ain't supposed to do i'm gonna go i'm gonna go like this fucked up yeah that's like yeah this is my house right house. Right. When you're home telling her that this is your house, you by your door. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:33 Good days. Good days. And then sometimes you want to call the girl that you had the most toxic fun with. What? That's the best girl. On the low, that's kind of the one. Yeah. It's the one.
Starting point is 01:15:51 You know what's funny? Because that's when I try to. It's Saturday. I agree with Roy. I think that girl's the one. Yeah, she's the one. But she can't know that you think she's the one oh god no because she's a toxic little hussy little hussy
Starting point is 01:16:10 yeah she can't know that you think she's the one right and if you separate normally she tries to go and prove her life without you like do better sure but that takes time yeah so that's when you call and y'all have that talk where she says to you yo i'm i want better for me like i know what i deserve i want more and that's when you say yeah but that's gonna take a little while like you could fuck with me until you go and get. And how you know what you deserve. Y'all are sick. Well, I just think there's some arrogance in that. You actually don't deserve that. Y'all are sick. I think there's mad arrogance in all these people saying they know what they deserve.
Starting point is 01:16:55 I don't know who you deserve that. Y'all are crazy. You're not giving this energy back to anybody else. Why you deserve this? Y'all are crazy. Look what this is doing to us. Now you have some fucking nerve. You deserve this type of happiness.

Starting point is 01:26:37 Shout out to A-Rab Oh I gotta listen to it What did that say about Daylight and Loaded Lux Breaking news Daylight versus Loaded Lux is now four rounds. The fourth round will be a freestyle musical performance round on a beat of the artist's choice. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:26:52 See? All right. I'll be checking out after round three. I'm really excited for the three rounds. Yeah, I'm not. See, this is when they just trying to do too much. But I'm not mad at them fiddling around with things. Yeah, but not that.
Starting point is 01:27:06 Don't fiddle around with the battle. My only thing is, how would that performance over the beat affect the battle? Exactly. Like, what happens if you kill over the beat that I chose for you, but you didn't really win the battle?
Starting point is 01:27:20 Like, what does it matter? Yeah, no. It's a good question. I have no idea. I'm just cool on that idea. I understand it. This is a battle that we've won it for years.
Starting point is 01:27:28 Let it just be like a real authentic battle. And I've heard both of them on beats destroy shit. But I'm still cool. I just want to see y'all battle. I just want to battle. And give me the date
Starting point is 01:27:38 of the battle. What is the date? That I don't know. Call Lux at daylight. I'm not calling Lux. He better be writing. You call that nigga and interrupt him. Oh, he definitely writing.
Starting point is 01:27:51 Hope so. I hope he been writing. He in Washington Square playing chess and writing. I am so phony. Listen to how phony I am. He writing. New York's finest. One of our greatest, the greatest that we've ever had over here.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Right. True. And just that fast. He's not prepared. He's going to be think he's not prepared, going to be prepared. No, he's going to be prepared. He's just going to lose. I'm going to have to watch that battle seven times to decide. I love Daylight.
Starting point is 01:28:13 I think he, I've said it years ago, he's one of the greatest battle rappers that we've ever seen. But so is Lux. Daylight ran from this battle when he was supposed to run from it. Yeah. When Daylight was gimmicky, man. When he was the nice when he was supposed to run from it. Yeah. When Daylight was gimmicky man, when he was the nice dude but still on the gimmicks, maybe without some of the TDE support
Starting point is 01:28:31 before he was as polished as he is today, he ran from it as he should have. Today, this new evolved version of Daylight. I got Daylight in this one too. Daylight is in a different type of shape right now. Sorry, buddy. And I'm only comfortable
Starting point is 01:28:47 saying that here because I told Lux that to his face, number one. Number two, they both wiped the floor with me face to face. So I mean.
Starting point is 01:28:53 I think they would get me too. Yeah, yeah. And more. Come on, say that. Do that plaid shit to them. I'd run. Say plaid to them. Have some fucking
Starting point is 01:29:00 self-respect for yourself. I'll clean up Lux and Daylight. But sing plaid in front of them. See what happens. No, no, no. We're not going to do that. Sing plaid. No, we're not doing that.
Starting point is 01:29:10 Not even rap. Sing plaid. You know who to battle and who not to battle. You know. I'm going Daylight too in this. Damn, I wish y'all rapped or something, man. Why? So I could just share some of this.
Starting point is 01:29:20 So you just start rapping and have kids. So I could share some of the funny stuff. All of us have rapped at one point. But the funny stuff is like, I'm share some of the funny stuff. All of us have rapped at one point. But the funny stuff is, I'm playing with Maul right now. When your first verse as a rapper, one of the first verses is a girly record or a club record or just something in that vein,
Starting point is 01:29:33 and then you go outside and the hitter's got verses, but you ain't got nothing for the cypher. You don't have nothing for that. You ain't got nothing for that cypher. You just did not. You just did tapping. You go home so fast and put pen to pad when should i step in with my baby i don't know if that still happens i'm outdated cyphers don't just happen on the blocks no more that doesn't happen god no niggas
Starting point is 01:29:57 ain't just rapping in the parks no more they're not rapping on the block that that doesn't happen niggas is putting up putting up their raps on their Instagram and putting it out. See, so in that case, I maybe wouldn't waste my time with having a street verse on deck. Like just a cypher verse to have in all cyphers. Because if that ain't what we're doing, who cares? I'll take it to another level. In that day, everybody at lunchtime was, it's rap time. So you needed a verse.
Starting point is 01:30:19 But if you don't need that today, I don't know if my son is walking around with that in the tuck. Yeah, but I think artists should do that. I've run into a lot of very talented artists just searching online and shit. It's like, oh, your shit is dope, but fam, I don't need 11 songs about girls. I just don't. Yeah, to Maul's point, man, I had to go to Times Square for an editing session, unfortunately. And I had to park in one of the things and walk mad far. You didn't get no mix tapes
Starting point is 01:30:45 I was a little upset that not one person me said yo you like hip hop you like hip hop damn no one offered me sour they probably thought

Starting point is 01:31:24 Yo you know who does that now? The monks. The monks be trying to pass you these little gold things. Is that safe to say? Yes. You could say monk? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:33 Like religion? That's their name. That's their religion, right? Yeah. It's not a slur. Pre-COVID, I was never walking anywhere in New York
Starting point is 01:31:40 and there'd be mad monks and they'd try to hand you this gold shit and you'd be like, oh, that's fire. And then you'd grab it and they would hold it and be like,
Starting point is 01:31:47 $10. It was music? No, it was some monk good luck charm. Please don't say that. It's not a bad word. It's not a bad word. I promise you.
Starting point is 01:31:57 Joe's stupid. Does it rhyme with a bad word? Where am I getting it from? I don't know. There's a bad word that's similar to that. Well, you're a rapper, figure it out. All the bad words are similar to that. Well, you're a rapper, so you're out.
Starting point is 01:32:06 All the bad words are similar, right? Don't. You're white. You created whatever it is. What were we about to talk about? Spotify stock slips after the Joe Budden podcast told them niggas to suck our dick, and you're not going to value this properly, and you can't go out just spending $300 million on everything expecting it to work for the next few years. I was about to say make that clear. Not us.
Starting point is 01:32:31 But it was never about us. Y'all wasn't ever going to get $300 million. Y'all white boys with black people. What did y'all think y'all was getting? Welcome to our culture. It wasn't getting shit. Listen, I should have paid the $10 to the monk. Shares of Spotify. Shares of Spotify.
Starting point is 01:32:48 Shares of Spotify. And I got this from our sister's site. Because the variety is our sister's site. Shares of Spotify took a hit after analysts at Citi downgraded the stock because the audio streaming giant hasn't shown any material benefit from its $800 million plus investment in podcasting content and tech.
Starting point is 01:33:12 Speaking of tech, what did y'all do with all y'all Nike tech suits? You had all the pink ones. I still wear mine. You still got them? You ain't eBay them yet? Nah. I still wear mine. I'll wear them if I'm just running some errands around.
Starting point is 01:33:28 Listen, all of us aren't running to the new Givenchy sneaker. We still like Nike Tech. I'm not doing that either, by the way. They're super comfortable. They're amazing. Boy, the more shows I fund, the more my closet takes a hit for it. You're going to be at Levi's and Black T's all day, no time, buddy. Y'all not noticing, boy.
Starting point is 01:33:44 These Black & Mary sweats the last five months. Y'all ain't been time money. Y'all not noticing, boy. These Black and Mary sweats the last five months. Y'all ain't been peeping. Y'all ain't peep. Spotify's stock price closed down 6.6% Friday to $319.82 per share, outpacing smaller declines in the broader market. In 2020, shares of the company more than doubled in value on investor enthusiasm for Spotify's global expansion and business model, including its push into podcasts. Do we need to read the rest? We'll read this last paragraph.
Starting point is 01:34:29 2020 and app download data through quarter four 2020 do not show any material benefit from recent podcast investments that begin in 2019 the team of city analysts led by jason bazinet said in a research note friday cutting their rating on spotify stock from neutral to sell. Now, react. We told y'all. Well, there you have it, folks. Joe, take it away. Please, somebody mean this. What the fuck? I'm tired of telling these niggas That they don't listen
Starting point is 01:35:07 Not so crazy now Yeah man Listen it's not that I'm Some type of digital forecast genius Just say it's not your X That's your Y There you go I love the callback
Starting point is 01:35:23 That was such a dumb line you got wise out here yeah um do you have any what ifs oh yeah plenty plenty spotify kicked off its podcast growth initiative in early 2019 yeah we're gonna get to that before the end of the show. Buying podcast studios Gimlet Media and Parcast and podcast self-publishing platform Anchor, paying nearly $400 million for them with additional potential payouts over four years. Last year, Spotify bought Bill Simmons' The Ringer podcast and media startup in a deal worth up to nearly $200 million and spent $235 million in cash to buy podcast, publishing, and ad company Megaphone. Sounds like over a billion to me pretty quickly. So now, how do we unpack this?
Starting point is 01:36:14 What would you want to see if you spent a billion dollars? What would you need to see? Also, by the way, it is a little early to see return on investment with certain things here. So I know we're laughing, but it's a little early to see return on investment with certain things here. How? So I know we're laughing, but it's a little early.
Starting point is 01:36:29 Let's be honest. Let's not just shit on our exes. Let's be objective. No, no. It's a little early. How is it early, I'm asking? I'm not trying to shit on them. Walk me through it.
Starting point is 01:36:38 To see value and upstream when you invest $800 million, I'm not doing that off the first year and a half. Sorry. But it hasn't been the first year and a half. You're right. Three years maybe? Of course they were investing before. Even this article is wrong. They're saying early
Starting point is 01:36:59 2019 is when they kicked their shit off. Early means February 2019. we started in september 2018 uh us amy schumer so you saw what you needed to see for six months and then you went on a spending spree because they saw what we did and said this is a profitable yeah but let's not make it about us right now let's keep it on us in in february 2019 y'all started and like I said a few months ago sometimes when you spend a lot of money when you continue to spend a lot of money making mistakes sometimes the best way for you to try to fix it is to spend more money
Starting point is 01:37:38 to cover up mistakes sex just a few months ago we were in here and I was saying this just doesn't seem like it's sustainable for you to continue to pay 100 200 300 400 million dollars for shit and we never see the results now you don't have to show them to us but you have to show them to somebody you may not have to show joe your data you could tell me suck dick but somebody has to see your data at some point so when you tell me that you paid this much for the kim kardashian show know what i'm gonna say for the next know what i'm gonna say for the next eight months where's the show like let's see what happened you have to bear results at some point when you tell
Starting point is 01:38:20 me you got michelle obama and then it comes in and it's sporadic. It's here and there. It's every week. It's here one week now. It's every week here. Like, it's all over the place. Now you're announcing Prince Harry, Prince Harry and somebody else. In all likelihood, when is that coming? Rogan is there, but he just got there, just got exclusive.
Starting point is 01:38:45 So, I mean, he hasn't had a time to make his presence felt yet well he's been there a week here's the thing with that on a kind of a separate topic of just creative shit joe rogan is the only podcaster there in that entire paragraph well then it's that part too when you when you try to when you try to buy up popularity it doesn't mean the product's going to be good yeah rogan is the only one that produces a good product that's been proven out of everyone there. So you're spending a whole bunch of money on people that you think have communities that you're going to bring. And that doesn't necessarily mean because I love the Obamas that I'm going to go pay
Starting point is 01:39:12 to listen to a podcast from them. Right. Or Kim Kardashian or vice versa. I'm not even going to make it personal there. But at the same time, I still stand by when you invest $800 million, two years, three years, I'm not going gonna sit there and say i'm expecting immediate results well it's safe to say things don't look good sure okay yo what am i watching right now yo alex bring that back up what the fuck was that what am i looking at right this second. Wait.
Starting point is 01:39:45 Oh, no. I was... Well, they added versus TV. Breaking, breaking, breaking. We're looking at something on the screen that says the NFL and versus are partnering for NFL Pro Bowl versus presented by Verizon. And this is 126 through 129. Is that Pro Bowl weekend? I'm assuming.
Starting point is 01:40:04 There is no actual Pro Bowl. There's no actual Pro Bowl this year. There usually is a Pro Bowl weekend. Oh, well, let's just read about that. From January 26th to the 29th, the most dynamic NFL stars face off live in the Ultimate Highlight competition, showcasing their best on and off field moments. Which
Starting point is 01:40:20 Pro Bowl players do you want to see go head-to-head? None of them. Nah, don't do that. No, don't do that. None. Don't do that. Why not? I love the NFL. We've talked about verses on here where it can move on to shit outside of music,
Starting point is 01:40:32 and I think this is great. I know sports junkies that would love to debate highlight versus highlight of what was the better catch. Don't do that. Just because it's not something you want doesn't mean this isn't some cool shit. But I feel like, no, okay. But when they say off the field as well, I feel like we're going to get a lot of dancing videos.
Starting point is 01:40:47 I don't care about anything off the field. I feel like we're going to get mostly dancing videos and very few crazy catches. I could care less about off the field shit. If you want to do catch versus catch or touchdown versus touchdown, I don't want to see the offensive line versus, I'm sorry. But running backs and receivers, quarterbacks,
Starting point is 01:41:02 I'm sure sports people would love that. I'm here to tell you that this is mostly going to be dancing. I'm here to tell you that I won't be watching this shit. What is Rory talking about? No, Rory's right if it's actually going to be that. You guys base too much off your taste. No, I base off. I love the NFL.
Starting point is 01:41:17 I won't be watching this shit. I love the NFL. You know how many wide receivers dance against each other? You know how many people that only care about sports? No, I agree. Off-field shit, fuck that. And even on the field dancing, I don't care. I'm talking about actual highlights.
Starting point is 01:41:29 I think the sports world would love that. Yeah. I think it sounds good. It's not probably something I'm going to participate in, but I think it's fucking great idea. I don't want to see current players looking at highlights and saying, oh, that catch was better than yours. I'm cool.
Starting point is 01:41:43 I just don't want to see that. Okay, but the same group that they're targeting here could look at us and say, why do you guys care about what song is better? That's different. No, it's not. It's a little different. I'll be curious to see how they structure it, Rory.
Starting point is 01:41:58 I'm with you. If it's highlight films, if they're doing like practice. Off field scares me. That's the part that scares me. Tell me the last time y'all cared about the Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl's been pretty bad. It's been pretty shitty.
Starting point is 01:42:11 No, no, no, no. That understates what I'm saying. Give me the last time. I'm not honestly sure that I've cared about the Pro Bowl ever. Probably never. Rory, when in your life have you cared about it? It's probably the least interesting sports. I don't care about watching. I've watched it. Rory, when in your life have you cared about it? It's probably the least interesting sports All-Star.
Starting point is 01:42:27 I don't care about watching. I've watched it. It's probably the least interesting All-Star week. No, I haven't cared about it. You haven't cared about it. Although the dodgeball is pretty cool. You haven't cared about it for quite some time. No one has cared about it for quite some time.
Starting point is 01:42:44 Maul, I'm certain that... I'm certain... Pardon me for two seconds, Roy. Let me just get this out because I don't want to forget. I don't want to forget, and then you can reply to me. I'm sure that their data and research, Maul, the Pro Bowl people show that this ain't it. The players have come forth and said, yo, I don't care.
Starting point is 01:43:02 I can go to Hawaii on my own. I don't need this trip and it's a weird time cuz it's during the the newer a couple times the newer players have come forth and said now why in the land in recent years the argument has come hey do we even need this event yeah right right am i right so far not really and how am I What am I not right about so far? At one point, and I had to make sure to make sure I wasn't bugging. At one point, the Pro Bowl was watched more than game one of the World Series.
Starting point is 01:43:34 Another failing event. In 2018, it's over 11 million viewers. You can't say no one watches it and no one cares. That's why I'm saying I don't go off my taste at every decision that's made by people that have more money than me. And I would put on the Pro Bowl because it usually happened after the season when there was no more football. So I was like, fuck it.
Starting point is 01:43:54 At least I get one last little hurrah, and it was always a terrible game. And unlike the NBA, they had the skills competition and shit that makes it interesting, or the home run derby in Major League Baseball. There was no interesting side things in the NFL Pro Bowl that were good until they introduced the dodgeball thing, which is kind of funny, but
Starting point is 01:44:11 it's in our... I mean, I enjoyed when Chad Johnson and the receivers used to do all those other challenges and go head-to-head. I thought it was cool. It's their version of All-Star weekend. I was never mad. It wasn't something I cared for, but again, I don't base these decisions off myend. Yeah. I was never mad. It wasn't something I cared for but again, I don't base these decisions off my taste.
Starting point is 01:44:28 There's a world for this. This is going to be a good thing. People care about catch versus catch. They debate it. It's the reason ESPN is a 24-hour network. People want to talk about sports
Starting point is 01:44:36 all day. It's the same thing with music. I'm with you on that which is why my statement was I won't be watching this. Yeah. I'm not saying people won't be watching this.
Starting point is 01:44:43 But that's what I started with too. And Rory said I was wrong. I'm cool. My only issue is... But you know, sports need to adjust to corona the same way music did and how Versus was created was because we were adjusting to a time of being inside.
Starting point is 01:44:55 You see they try to get their verrues. It's cool. I'm not letting them capitalize off my emotional currency this year. You tell them, sis. No, you're not going to keep something out to yourself? Yeah. Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
Starting point is 01:45:07 Hey, SZA, good days. Rory, don't call me trying to come over and watch the Pro Bowl verses. Hey, your crib empty? Want to make some waves? I don't think I've ever watched a verse
Starting point is 01:45:15 with you in my life. You've watched the verses with me. Maybe one out of 20. Also, what do you know? You found one. I said maybe. So you found one. I don't even know if that's true.
Starting point is 01:45:24 It was one. It was one. I said maybe. So you found one. I don't even know if that's true. It was one. It was one. Come on. Tell them we're friends. These guys hate to wear buddies. We're co-workers. RCA Records promotes Mark Pitts to press. You know the fucking vibes.
Starting point is 01:45:38 Round of applause, perhaps? Yeah. Shout out Mark Pitts. Congrats to Mark. That's big. That's big. Y'all deserve it. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:45:46 Loudest applause in the world. Congratulations to Mark Pitts. RCA Records has changed... Fam, what do you do that on purpose? RCA Records has changed its leadership structure. Mark Pitts rises from RCA's president of urban music to RCA Records' president. What do you know?
Starting point is 01:46:04 Because they've been bodying everything urban, period. For a decade. RCA speaks for itself with a roster and what they're putting out right now.
Starting point is 01:46:13 John Fleckenstein, who had served as co-president since 2018, has been upped to chief operating. Ooh, they cooking. They cooking over there.
Starting point is 01:46:23 C-O-O. Both will continue to report to Peter Edge, the label's chairman and CEO. RCA Records was a They cooking over there. C-O-O. Both will continue to report to Peter Edge, the label's chairman and CEO. RCA Records was a different company. You know Peter's a dude? Go ahead. Shout out to Peter.
Starting point is 01:46:37 RCA Records was a different parent, a different company even just a few years ago, Edge said in a statement. Over the past decade, there has been a genre shift in consumer demand and streaming has revolutionized every aspect of our business so we must constantly adapt and iterate on our successes and i'm not mad at the nfl for that part that part is true you should constantly adapt and iterate on your shit and if you see a good idea you should partner i don't want you to
Starting point is 01:47:03 think i'm mad at the partnering. I'm just mad at the... You've spent the last month saying stop with partnerships. Y'all are in a deal. You're not partners. I'm all for partnerships, by the way.
Starting point is 01:47:19 Congratulations, Mark Fitz. Yeah. That's huge. RCA has been one of my... And this isn't even a, this is a consumer thing, not an industry thing. I just love
Starting point is 01:47:28 that they focus on dope R&B. They just have an amazing roster and always put out great shit. True. Shout out Sanji and that whole world at RCA. Were we talking about RCA or Spotify?
Starting point is 01:47:41 RCA. Oh, let's get back to Spotify. This guy just won't ever shut up about his exes. His wives. Call Spotify, man. No, this is not about them. I know that's a funny joke.
Starting point is 01:47:58 It's cool, the bitter ex thing. It's true. I get it. This is always about sheer arrogance and and entitlement. The whites wouldn't know. I always say that we are in this position because we are humble servants of the people, or at least I feel that way about me.
Starting point is 01:48:18 I do too. I have to allow for grace because the people put you here and the people cannot put you here. Right. So it's always about. The people, the churches, the market. Spotify shouldn't have had that position because they innovated something allegedly. And when you innovate something, you should be prepared for other people to emulate that or for people to try to improve on your design right so they less about me for a little while they just had a runway of head start over other companies with the capital to match them and the resources so yeah they spent a billion and beat people.
Starting point is 01:49:06 But what do you do when the people that have a billion get to thinking about what they can do with a billion? And then I say all this because there's a report that Apple has something coming. You want the name? I don't want the name. I can't read it. I won't say it.
Starting point is 01:49:23 But something leaked. It's been rumored. That said Apple had something coming. I also read something that said somebody else had something coming. Okay. What will those things do that we'll get in depth on in the weeks and months to come, I'm sure. What will those things do to affect Spotify's standing? And if you're plummeting now with your internal issues,
Starting point is 01:49:54 just what happens when the ops start spending too and when you start getting creative with it? That's all. This is not an attack on them. I got people I care about that work over there. No, I mean, we just have to wait and see what Apple does and what whoever else does. But I understand, yeah, when people that have the same, if not more money available that you do, when they decide to jump into that same market, it does make things like,
Starting point is 01:50:18 okay, now there's other people on this block now that can do what I can do. Apple's got a couple bucks. And it's also a little different when your op owns the hardware. Yeah. And let me be honest with y'all. And created the word podcast. It's like a culture. That is something
Starting point is 01:50:32 that I'm working on. Like, I'm working on not feeling gratified when I'm right. No, keep going. I like it. No, that was the end.
Starting point is 01:50:42 I haven't mastered it yet. That was a punch? Yeah, I did this. No, that was the end. I haven't mastered it yet. That was a punch? Yeah. The fans treated me so bad. And then we getting off of this because we two hours in. But some of those fans treated me real bad. It was like, oh, the nerve of you to think that you're so important. And then fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:50:58 You're crying. And that wasn't my point. My point was, hey, me and my friends are going to not. If we take our productivity away for the shorts you're giving, then what does it start to materialize as? Right. See, and that's when it comes down to just knowing your worth. Not for me to get on that ramp, but this applies to everybody,
Starting point is 01:51:19 everybody out there. I try to preach that to every creator. If you know your worth, who knows what you'll do when you just move certain places. Right. I'm anxious to see what happens with this. I'm anxious to preach that to every creator. If you know your worth, who knows what you'll do when you just move certain places. I'm anxious to see what happens with this. I'm anxious to see how Spotify solves that. And we'll keep an eye on it
Starting point is 01:51:32 because we talk for a living. Man, who knows? Spotify decides to get it right. Let's revisit some things. Never know. Never want to say never. Well, you can always get it right. But to get it right, you have to recognize that there's a wrong Oh absolutely And that's really tough
Starting point is 01:51:46 For wealthy Powerful people To do sometimes Yeah Which is how a lot of them Get in trouble Getting bad with your ex Is always fun
Starting point is 01:51:52 Yeah Yeah Smack on the ass When you see that Come on you know that's me I think we finally Come to that day It's not one ex
Starting point is 01:52:01 That I can sleep with still Okay They're all gone Wow That's probably a good thing though Yeah Well yeah but I mean That's actually come to that day it's not one ex that I can sleep with still. Okay. They're all gone. That's probably a good thing though. Yeah. Well yeah but I mean That's actually kind of a
Starting point is 01:52:10 bad space to be in when you can't sleep with your exes. It causes confusion and weird shit. It does. You're absolutely right. It's just who knew
Starting point is 01:52:17 the day would come. As a man you never knew that day would come. It's like rapping. I never knew the day would come where I wouldn't want to wake up and rhyme words.
Starting point is 01:52:26 But then it happens. It's like, oh, shit. Well, King, you can get yourself to that place by saying, you can't sleep with me. Well, that's what I've been on, Roy. My God. No, that's what I've been on. Protect your body. Know your work.
Starting point is 01:52:37 That gets real annoying, too, if they're in person. And look much better when they're with you. Oh, my God. That's the thing, man. You know what? Come on, let's move on. Former NBA star Lamar Odom joins celebrity boxing circuit.
Starting point is 01:52:53 Hello, sit down, man. I'm tossing this to them all. Sit down. Please just stop, bro. Stop. Don't do this. Do not do this. Why are you saying this?
Starting point is 01:53:01 Because, man, you know you can't fight? You cannot play box You cannot do that Well what if the other person Is play boxing? No no no no This is not
Starting point is 01:53:11 You can't play box You're gonna get hurt He's 6'10 You're gonna get hurt Some reach He's 6'10 with reach And weight Okay
Starting point is 01:53:17 This is not Nate Robinson Okay No I'm with you This is not This is not Cause I already see This is gonna try to Become a trend thing
Starting point is 01:53:26 And this is not Anything that grosses That much money Becomes a trend For sure Yeah but it's like All money ain't good money though And if you're going in
Starting point is 01:53:33 I just said that about the You know whatever You get a serious You get a serious injury Or some shit like that And you know Like you can't You can't play
Starting point is 01:53:41 He ain't playing ball no more You know he's living though That's true No what scares me is that Lamar might be in a place where he's doing this because he desperately needs money. And that makes me sad. Because I love Lamar.
Starting point is 01:53:55 So give him the money. I, Joe, am about to sign for a celebrity boxing match too. Because I need money. Now this is becoming a thing. I don't know if you guys are in the YouTube world of King Earner
Starting point is 01:54:08 versus Paparazzi Poe, but... I'm not in that world, actually. Break it down. No, you would kill in the non-celebrity boxing match. Oh, no, no, no. That's a fact.
Starting point is 01:54:17 And I'm not a celebrity, but I could box. So, yeah, I would kill in that world. It doesn't happen. Look it up. Google it. Yeah, just please don't box.
Starting point is 01:54:25 Sorry, that was an ad. Don't box. That's not something to play with. Pick his opponent for him. Lamar? I just want him to just sit down and go home. I don't want him to box. Okay.
Starting point is 01:54:37 Go home, man. He should get a coaching job. So you're not even going to try to think of an opponent. No, but I think Lamar should get a coaching gig. I think he could coach a lot of these bigs in the league now and help them with their game. I like that, but I think Lamar Odom should get a coaching gig. I think he could coach a lot of these bigs in the league now and help them with their game. I like that idea because I think Lamar Odom, as someone that was raised around addicts and is an addict,
Starting point is 01:54:53 we need structure. And I think that's what Lamar Odom needs too. So I think a coaching job would be amazing. Yeah, still like being in the league, being in the NBA, you got to get up a certain time, be at practice, travel, work, you know, work out. It's one way to look at it. Yeah, I think that's a good one other way when you're at it you don't really feel every hit that touch your body like he might have an advantage okay they name is a point I feel when they stab me no I feel thing
Starting point is 01:55:18 look at me maybe sound like a tough street fight Spotify They. Yo, speaking of Spotify, have I told you? Wait, let's not brush over this. I've lied on that story a million times. Yeah? Are you kidding me? Which story? Why? I'm getting stabbed.
Starting point is 01:55:33 That's what I was going to get to. Because sometimes it's fun. Oh, to lie on it? Yeah. Damn, what happened? It was 10 p.m. one night. Five dudes just came. It was 10 p.m.
Starting point is 01:55:42 Two niggas rented a house. It's 10 o'clock on the dot. And I'm four of the niggas rented a house it's 10 o'clock on the dot and I'm four of the niggas five dudes approached me from behind
Starting point is 01:55:48 I fought four of them off but this one he caught me he got me man no I was gonna get to when we did
Starting point is 01:55:56 that first Spotify photo shoot and we had like our little green room where we was changing and Joe had his shirt off and a middle aged
Starting point is 01:56:04 white exec from Spotify said Joe what happened to your stomach changing and Joe had his shirt off and a middle-aged white exec from Spotify said Joe what happened to your stomach there and Joe casually said my baby mother stabbed me and she was like oh you asked you asked that's what happened you know I literally had tears coming out my eyes how about that yeah oh they'll do that huh see if she was fine I'm gonna call her and see if she wants to apologize about that. To baby mom? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:27 You should just leave that one alone. Yeah. She just called my voice evil yesterday. Yeah, exactly. Just leave it alone. We see what she's going to say. Water under the bridge. Hey, enough for nothing.
Starting point is 01:56:36 She won. She already won. She got her shit on? Yeah, like, she learned you. Yeah, you don't want to fucking around with her leave her alone
Starting point is 01:56:46 Joe please just give me three more years of your life Joe after that get stabbed by who you want
Starting point is 01:56:52 get stabbed as many times as you want bro we don't want that for you no see that's the thing about that man
Starting point is 01:56:58 when you think about just some of the stories that as your co-parents and that your son's mom is telling your kid like you don't even get to that point. And I stabbed that nigga up.
Starting point is 01:57:08 And he thought she was sweet one day. Wait, don't tell my kid that. Don't do that. Don't tell my son about that. All right. Update from Ice-T. And thank God we have Ice-T to give us updates.
Starting point is 01:57:22 Right. Shout out Ice. Just FaceTime with Dr. Dre. He just made it home safe and looking good. Love to hear that. Awesome. Great news. Thank God. Round of applause for that, man. I'm not round of applause yet. I'd like to know if they pinpointed
Starting point is 01:57:35 some of the difficulties that he was having health-wise because the last story we heard was they didn't know really. Well, aneurysm we don't know. That's the scary part about aneurysms. We talked about it last week. Yeah, when they find that shit. It's not necessarily caused by a lifestyle or hereditary thing. Then I'm not going home yet.
Starting point is 01:57:52 Well, if he's home, they've run enough tests. Yeah. They feel like it's safe for him to go home. Run more. Run more. He had the best. He had the best doctors. Believe that.
Starting point is 01:58:02 And you don't know if he's going home With a doctor That's gonna live in his house Let's wait for Dr. Schnozenheisen To come in from India though And run some tests too I'm sure he did Yeah Dr. Schnozenheisen
Starting point is 01:58:13 He could probably set up Something in the west wing To accommodate Let's just slow down Before you send me home And y'all gonna trigger me Because in recent years I've learned how fast
Starting point is 01:58:22 They kick people out of hospitals Yeah Especially in this time Yeah Because in recent years, I've learned how fast they kick people out of hospitals. Yeah. Especially in this time. Yeah. What was that right before this? What did Lil Flip say? Only facts. Most importantly.
Starting point is 01:58:34 Just tell me what Lil Flip said. Can we hear it? Only facts. Can I hear what Lil Flip said? Can we pull this up somehow? Yeah, got it. Lil Flip says he compares his career to LeBron James. And rightfully so, goddammit.
Starting point is 01:58:46 Yeah, I was going to say, found a lie. I didn't think about it that way, but now that we're here, he's right. Yeah. But why is he telling us now? I always put them in the same breath. But he said LeBron James, Floyd Mayweather, and Michael Jordan. Well, think about it. They've all done a Lil Flip before.
Starting point is 01:59:02 Yeah, if you're in the breath with LeBron, you're in the breath with Mike. Sam, Mike did a little flip. He did a little cartwheeling. He did a little cartwheeling. If you flip before, then you're in the same vein as Lil' Flip. Right. And back to the Bron question. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:20 Oh, that was a Bron question. They've been more so like, when compare my career you know i compare it to you know three people i compare it to floyd mayweather right i compare it to jordan and i compare naturally um with lebron you know doing what he did coming out being so young yeah i'm the youngest person in the screwed up clique so you know everybody he's a chosen one you know he people didn't want to agree with it. They didn't see it. They feel like some people feel like you're too young. You can't be that great. Like, nah, man, it's possible for you to be a child prodigy, just
Starting point is 01:59:56 like Michael Jackson. So like, like LeBron went through a whole bunch of stuff and you can be great. Like my career. Man, come on. When it comes to bars. Because, you know, down south, they don't really respect us as lyrics. He treated her like milk. He did nothing but spoil her. And being an emcee, Dad, when you hear a verse from him.
Starting point is 02:00:16 Right now. And back to LeBron. If I didn't say something that made you say, oh, rewind it. Or what did he just say? Then I'd do my job. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. No matter how all the plaques I got, 25 million albums sold,
Starting point is 02:00:31 13 million ringtones. Please turn this off. I hate interviewers so much. Can you please turn this off? Because I have too much respect for Lil Flip. I love Lil Flip. As long as this plays, it's going to sound like I don't have respect for Lil Flip, and I do.
Starting point is 02:00:40 He's the man. But I see where he was going with the child prodigy thing, because he was younger, and he was the first to do some shit but I love Little Flip too but just because Braun Floyd and Michael Jordan were also once young and he was also once young doesn't mean you can put yourself in the same sentence I mean let me stick up for Little Flip y'all let Biggie say anyone ask Jordan Tyson Jackson and then everyone continued to try to do the same thing for 20 years. Why y'all let Biggie say it and Flip can't say it?
Starting point is 02:01:08 Because Big can say that. Okay. You tell Flip then. I fuck with Lil Flip. No, you tell him. Just tell him you fuck with him. Then tell him right after Big can do that. You on the other hand, tell him to be on the other hand.
Starting point is 02:01:27 All right, now this is crazy, whatever this is. Now, first of all, for the past few weeks, I've been wanting to come in here and talk about Bitcoin. Not because I'm so smart and know a lot about Bitcoin. You're a crypto bro now? Crypt bro. Crypt Joe. Who wants some Satoshis?
Starting point is 02:01:52 You want some Satoshis? Nobody even knows, right? Me neither. Hey, look. You're an idiot. That's a problem now. You're an idiot. That's a problem now in 2021.
Starting point is 02:02:01 We're in a room full of people. None of us know about a Satoshi. Satoshi? What is that? I don't know. I just ordered that. See? That's why. That's the problem, man. In 2021, we're in a room full of people and none of us know about a Satoshi. Satoshi? What is that? I don't know. I just ordered that. See, that's why. I think it's a sushi dish.
Starting point is 02:02:11 We laughing and joking, but in 2010, a few of my friends came up to me and tried to tell me about Bitcoin. And boy, did I laugh them out in my living room. I asked them if I could spend that money at the gas station to buy cigarettes. And they told me no. And I said, well, what the fuck are you telling me about?
Starting point is 02:02:28 Bitcoin for it. That was it for you? I'm here only for Newports. Listen, you have to appreciate, you have to look back in life and appreciate when you were stupid. Absolutely. Like when you just were in your own way and just were a real idiot. And that was one of those times.
Starting point is 02:02:43 Fast forward 11 years later, and I'm in the same exact boat, but not so stupid anymore. Now a lot of notable people and people that I respect are running around saying the same thing that they said in 2010, which is, boy, you better get something. And that's all that dudes like me who don't know nothing about it hear. So I be needing more information or somebody to educate me and walk me through well why do i need to get some but i'm dumb when they try to explain it to me so i never really know so off a whim i just went out there and i just got a little bit somehow and i'm down today because it's down yeah i did nothing for things to be down this is stock for dummies if you're unaware i woke up this morning and had my normal routine and my normal day and then i looked at my phone
Starting point is 02:03:37 looking for a text maybe it's ah let me just check some shit and the arrow was like pointing to the basement and it said down like a high number then it showed me money that disappeared somehow and cory says it's in the atmosphere it's somewhere it's in the air it's an iCloud it's an iCloud it just can't access it can't do nothing stupid me is saying well what happened in the world that has the market down on not only bitcoin but maybe a few things i'm invested in bitcoin so it's down down but they like up doesn't matter who cares it's down it's up you end if you end you're in you're out you're out you sell you i don't know shit about it i just know i refuse to be late on it again so i bought something and there we are
Starting point is 02:04:16 i'm gonna buy something that's down now now that i now and now and you should yeah and you should um and now that we're here in stock for dummies, I had to get that off before the story. Because this is unbelievable to me. Man has two login attempts left to access $220 million in Bitcoin before it's all lost. Fuck. How many password attempts do you get?
Starting point is 02:04:42 I wouldn't know. I'd be stressed out when Gmail tells me I got one left. What's the hint? I don't know the hint. So you get 10 password attempts. Stefan Thomas, a German programmer living in San... This guy is a German programmer and forgot the password? Shit.
Starting point is 02:04:59 Yeah, that password would have been tatted on my arm, man. You got one of those router passwords on there with the exclamation points. 7X9234. Yeah, no, no, no. A German programmer living in San Francisco owns 7,002 Bitcoins in a digital wallet, which are worth $220 million. But the programmer can't access the money because he lost his password. They don't have a forget password? I don't think Bitcoin has it.
Starting point is 02:05:23 For 220 mil? There's no, you can't. All right, just forget it. It was a joke. It's fine. He has tried eight times to guess the code, but with no, shit, I could guess that. But with no-
Starting point is 02:05:34 Did you try just password? What's your username? I always crack them with the one, two, three, four. Just a space bar. Try just space bar. Maybe that'll work. He ain't try one, one, one, one, one. What's his ex's birthday?
Starting point is 02:05:47 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Now Thomas just has two more chances to get his password correctly before the money is lost. That's the part I don't get because I'm stupid. Well, there's no recovered password and there's nobody to override, right? Right. Yeah. So.
Starting point is 02:06:00 Not with that type of money on the line. Does Pitt just get the coin? Yeah, where's the money? Where does the money go if he loses it? It's in the iCloud. It's gone. You got to be kidding me. It's in a nigga's pockets.
Starting point is 02:06:10 The hard drive known as Iron Key, where Thomas' Bitcoins are held, allows users 10 attempts to correctly guess their password before encrypting the contents permanently. Bitcoin also cannot help Thomas since it doesn't store its users' passwords. Hey, lesson for all of us who complain at Facebook and Instagram for hoarding our information. Hey, if I got 220 M's on the line, hoard my shit. I might need you one day. Yeah, that's a fact.
Starting point is 02:06:39 Since it doesn't store its passwords, instead it gives users their own private key, their own private iron key, which only they have access to. Listen, Steven, you got to put face ID on. You'll get right in. But look what he said though. I would just lay in bed and think about it. See,
Starting point is 02:06:55 Maul? Nigga, I lay in bed and think about it. Yeah, word. Then I would go to the computer with some new strategy and it wouldn't work. And I would be desperate again. Thomas was given the Bitcoins as a reward for making a 2011 animated video what is bitcoin
Starting point is 02:07:09 explaining the cryptocurrency this is this was the gift just gets this is the story to just keep storing the programmer said he lost the paper that the password was written on that year oh so this has been gone let me ask y'all this. What would y'all do with the two remaining attempts? I don't know. I'm never touching it. Yeah, I'll probably never touch it. Wait and hope someone opens that shit up sometime. Because in the future
Starting point is 02:07:36 they have to come up with a... Wait for the super hacker to come up with the solution. Yeah. That's definitely the solution. Sit on that motherfucker. I'll give you half if you can crack this. Somebody will find it, right? Do you have enough confidence, though? Right. It's two attempts.
Starting point is 02:07:49 Yeah. You got to give him a couple other passwords to break into first. That's a lot of confidence in a hacker. Yo, this stock shit is so tricky because yesterday I was texting my friends and saying, man, I'm looking at this beautiful arrow going up. I just want to put money in here and just watch it go. And now today I'm like, I'm just going to let it breeze through Iggy's phone, man.
Starting point is 02:08:09 I'm just going to find something to get into. It's probably took a little while, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He need to find an ex-girlfriend. She'll figure out that fucking password. Quick. That's true.
Starting point is 02:08:18 She need half her time. What a sick predicament to even be in. Yeah, sick. Also, did somebody hit the mega millions finally? Because I didn't hear nothing about it. No. I don't know. It was 450 and 550 and 750.
Starting point is 02:08:29 Something stupid. I don't know. Google it. Figure it out. 750 million, right? And the Powerball 640. And they say we're in a pandemic. This shit is crazy.
Starting point is 02:08:39 Well, we're in a pandemic and that's what the lottery is. Huh? We're in a pandemic and that's what the lottery is. The lottery is're in a pandemic and that's what the lottery is. The lottery's a pandemic? You had to see how I was getting my shit off that. What'd you be saying to your London people? What do you mean? Forget it.
Starting point is 02:08:54 That's what I'd be saying? Yeah. Hello? Nah. Hello, bloke? When I look to you to engage in single shit, I can't get with them. And I don't have time to get through your barriers.
Starting point is 02:09:06 No, no, I didn't know what you were asking. London is locked down. If you have any woman that you talk to in London, right now I'm asking has lockdown done anything to how you be getting
Starting point is 02:09:17 your shit off? Because somebody I know was getting their shit off like in a different way. Now that it's like... Nah, they locked down lockdown over there they can't even like shit is closed yeah mall does have barriers who is your gatekeeper

Starting point is 02:14:02 I mean, what, it's next week? Yeah. Yeah, see, I see a lot of people saying that, but maybe I don't have the range. But I have to assume that there are some other implications or some other things that come along with impeachment. Well, I talked about it here. He wouldn't be able to run again for office. He wouldn't get the-
Starting point is 02:14:20 And that's all this is about. The Secret Service protection and what's it called? Pension or whatever after he retires. There's a lot of things that would come with it. I wonder if there are more things that come with a second impeachment. Or does everything still stand? I don't think so. No, I think most importantly, they know that, again,
Starting point is 02:14:37 I don't think you're able to run again for president. And I think that was the one thing that they wanted. They didn't want him to even attempt to come back and run for president. Got it. I like when people are petty i like the petty nancy pelusi wearing the same dress it's just it's just crazy because coming in trump they accused him of rigging the election and going out he accuses them of rigging the election i don't think people looked at it that way like it's just it's just, this whole shit is just, it's just political theater
Starting point is 02:15:07 as far as I'm concerned. Scary times. Yeah. I still think Dan Quayle got robbed. Dan Quayle. He still robbed old Dan. Hey, listen, man. Dan was cooking up there
Starting point is 02:15:22 when I was nine or eight. That was my first, that was my first introduction into watching the presidential debates. And me at nine or eight, I have all the ones. Dan cooking. Listen, man. Wasn't Dan Quayle the one that spelled everything wrong? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:15:36 So? So? I grew up on Ralph Nader. Wait, who did he go against? Who's Ralph Nader? He was an independent Clinton. George W., I believe. I'll get him out of here.
Starting point is 02:15:47 He went through the whole 90s. He might have went against Reagan. He's been around forever. The caucus. Anyone that's been a president he went against. Showing our age. The caucus. I don't have nothing on there.
Starting point is 02:16:03 There was a presidential candidate named the Dukakis in the 80s And the hanging Chad Yeah that was That was Mike Michael Dukakis Yeah I think he went against Reagan
Starting point is 02:16:13 Anyway Yeah We're old I think Dukakis might be the dude Didn't he do some shit afterwards? Probably I think it was Dukakis I was rooting for
Starting point is 02:16:21 Who Dan Quayle went against? Clinton Oh it was Dukakis Because he was George W's VP I believe Yeah no I started with Dukakis I was rooting for. Who Dan Quayle went against? Clinton. Oh, it was Dukakis. Because he was George W.'s VP, I believe. Yeah, no, I started with Dukakis. I always rooted for losers. Dan Quayle and Dukakis.
