and the city does not want to be conquered, they would hate him. Talk about the whites again. But if the prince pays criminals to kill cows, burn barns, smash windows, set things on fire, the people will panic in fear and cry out for help. And the prince will come in, get rid of the very criminals he bribed to create the problem. Nobody will know the better for it,

and everyone will praise the better for it and everyone will praise the prince as a hero so it's good marketing you create the need and fill it you go around the back of the house and set it on fire then you go around the front of the house and sell them a fire extinguisher and they'll pay anything for it and even thank you for being there so it's called machiavellian, where you create or capitalize on a crisis to consolidate control. That's what they did to my bags. And my sweaters.

A couple other people did that too. They created a need and a void, and now I gotta go feel it again. I think the FedEx guy got me. He just put that shit right back in the truck.

How does your girl respond to you now being a celebrity? Because she was with you from the start. That's a good question. Did she take pictures for you?

No. Okay. No. I got to ask her. I think she likes it in a sense, but then she don't like it in a sense. Because she's got to take pictures. Like, I guess it depends on where we are. Okay.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I know when we were away, it was kind of flattering. She was like, oh, shit. Like, we're in a whole other country or different countries, and people coming up to you taking pictures. Like, sure, sure, sure, I'll take it. But so I guess it's flattering to her. I don't know.

I ain't really asking. I'm going to ask her, though. That's a good question. Seriously. You should ask. Nah, I am. Yeah. About how your current status affects your partner.

Nah, I am. I'm going to ask her. A little checkups here and there. Big freeze in the building, huh? What's happening, y'all? How you feeling, man? I'm good. I'm asking. A little checkups here and there. Big freeze in the building, huh? How you feeling, man? Good. I feel great. Good. Hoping I feel great at the end of the pod. A couple sick motherfuckers in here with me. Oh, man.

I know you said you had some other shit going on with your jaw, right? Your alignment made me off. You said your jaw was... Wait, what did you say? His jaw realigned some shit.

No, he said his jaw was realigned. It's growing. No, it's growing. His jaw's growing. No, tell him what happened. Because what happened to your jaw? Fuck you. You said your first...

I never even heard that complaint before. Nigga came to work talking about my jaw's hurting. I said, no. I was like, whoa. I never even heard that complaint before. Niggas came to work talking about my jaws hurting. I said, no. I was like, whoa. Hey, yo, fam. I said my teeth are hurting. Oh, I heard it different. When you say my teeth is hurting.

I'm sorry. No, I heard jaw. Yeah, I definitely heard my jaw. My jaw is hurting. I'm with you, dog. I was like, oh, you had a wild weekend. Y'all ain't shit. You was being a cunnilingus?

Writing that down. All right alright so why is your jaw it's not my jaw hurting but you said your jaw got restructured right no I said you got the new set

of Invisalign I can't even fucking talk I cannot talk no I said with the way that the treatment works or whatever you hear him I'm trying my hardest No, I said, with the way that the treatment works, whatever. You hear him?

I'm trying my hardest. He trying to bring the Invisalign sling in it. The way the treatment. Nigga, what's up with your jaw? Don't tell me about no treatment. Is your jaw cool to pod or not? Invisalign treatment. I had to or not? Invisalign treatment. I had to put my new

Invisalign. Nigga, can you pod? Of course I can pod. I'm here to pod. I'm here to pod. Cool. I would call out if my jaw just moved to my face. That's like some cerebral palsy shit. Oh, man.

And last but certainly not least, my main man, P-Class. Yep. Parks is here, man. Chilling, man. How was your weekend? How was your party? It was good, man. It was good.

I'm sure my neighbors are pissed at me. We were loud. We were rambunctious. I had my friend come down. He owns a farm upstate, and he grew some pot marijuana, and he brought down quite a bit of it. He also knows some other farmers in the area, and he brought some mushrooms,

some hallucinogens, and everyone seemed to indulge. Nice. So it was an interesting night. What time it end? Because y'all parties be different. Five, six, something like that. These niggas don't stop, y'all.

I be so mad when I miss a good Parks party. It was lit, too, because it was like people like, I've never done mushrooms before, but it was a vibe in there. We're chilling. So everyone, like first-time mushroom users, all this shit, we just wildin' out. Nobody awkward? Nah, it was great.

I don't have time in my life. You were saying first time, you know, some people get. Yeah. All right, that's good. Parks friends don't really be awkward. No, I'm saying he said a lot of first-time mushroom users. Sometimes people don't really, you know, if it's the first time, they might tweak out a little bit. Well, if you're in a safe space. I'm saying, he said a lot of first-time mushroom users. Sometimes people don't really, you know,

if it's the first time, they might tweak out a little bit. Well, if you're in a safe space. That's like a Tylenol for him. And his friends. Them niggas pop that shit. Call when the special K break out. Call when the wild drugs

start coming out. Mushrooms is just like a party hors d'oeuvre and shit. Yeah, we basically had someone walking around with the plates of weed and mushrooms, and it was nice. Oh, that was lit. Yeah. All right.

Well, Corey's here. Poe is here. Erickson is here. 45-minute intro. Fuck y'all. I ain't got no bag. I ain't got no luggage. I got no sweater.

I'm here to talk today. All right. What's going on? What is heavy on you guys' minds and hearts and spirits? Mel, you had something you wanted to start with? I did? Yeah. Yeah.

Remind me. You sent me a clip. Oh, yes. Okay. Sorry. We were like, we were all over the place. So I saw this thing on Instagram, you know, and... Well read.

And it got me to thinking, it's directed towards you guys so i was going to ask you guys a little bit of a clip as to who your tribe is and there's a little bit of a description in the clip okay let's get into parks and that men do to ruin hello seven that men do to ruin their lives is that they don't keep a brotherhood of like-minded men around them. They don't have a band of brothers. They're not part of a tribe. The thing that men do that really ruins their life is that they live like an island.

You act like a lone wolf. You are not meant to be a lone wolf. You are not meant to be an island. You are meant to find like-minded dudes who share your core values. Because if you're like're like dude these are my core values these are my non-negotiables this is how I roll in life I'm an extreme unreasonable impatient motherfucker that wants to make a lot of money be fit and jacked be self-actualized and self-disciplined and do a lot of good for humanity and I find

other dudes like that to connect with that that's my tribe. Can he shut the fuck up? That's my band of brothers. Yeah, enough of him. Enough of him with the beat in the background pandering to us. Getting intense. Yeah, come on, come on. You think that was pandering to y'all?

Yes. I think that beat and music selection was pandering to me, yeah. Okay, that's pandering though? Yes. Okay, that might be a little bit of emotional manipulation, but whatever. Okay, but... You know, there's pandering, though. Yes. OK, that might be a little bit of emotional manipulation, but whatever. OK, but, you know, there's a clip going around. I forgot where I saw it, but it speaks to how advertising, how all advertising and marketing is really based off of the white male psychology and it says that because those are the men that are approving the budgets green

lighting things or the men responsible for all the ads that we see they have to have a level of understanding before it even hits so when i hear that beat yeah that is kind of what i think of and that guy's voice the people that i encountered, they don't sound like that. Speaking of tribes, like the people in my tribe don't sound like a doof like him. Gotcha. They don't need a Nas beat in the background for the word, the good word. I don't necessarily know if he's the one that put the beat in the background. It might just have been him on a podcast and then somebody took the clip and then they put the music and blah, blah, blah and whatever else.

But I thought that what he was saying was kind of interesting and I was interested. Why were you pointing at me while the clip was playing? I was playing with you. Okay. I was just playing with you. You are sensitive today. You needed a pillow and all these things and shit. I told you I'm down.

You got an uplift? I've been victimized. I've been victimized. I feel your pain, bro. I've been victimized I've been victimized I feel your paper I've been targeted you were definitely targeted for sure I'm sorry about that

I should have worn my shades but anyway what do we think about what do we think about the content in the clip exactly so what he mentions is he talks about

you know a brotherhood of having core values and I thought that was interesting because I'm like do you guys even have discussions about

your core values with each other to see who... What kind of monsters you think we are? You don't see me with the artifice over here. Yo, it's too early in the morning. No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to preface this with saying this is genuine curiosity and be, listen, I've learned a lot from sitting in a room with a lot of men, you know, and finding out more about your lives, your lifestyles, your thoughts and that sort of thing. So I'm learning as I go along, you know, so this is me just with genuine curiosity, not shooting at anyone.

So and this is stuff that women discuss, you know, openly and often, you know, core values and that sort of thing, finding our sisterhood, our tribes and whatever else. So I wondered if you guys did that because you guys are very masculine men we do that's not true though like with guys everybody has a masculine and a feminine side or or characteristics and attributes so I got friends that I call when I'm when I'm down or when I need some encouragement or I need a pep talk I got friends that I call when I just want to shoot the shit about basketball or rap music or girls or whatever the case may be. But when you start to get older, men get a little bit more vulnerable. You get to really start showing your, you know what I'm saying? And I think the dudes in this room, they have no qualms showing their vulnerability to other men you get i'm saying like i think it's

a misconception out here that we are just this fucking solid rock statue that don't have any feelings or any softer side that's not true in some ways we are but not in in my opinion at least with the people in this room in social circles i feel like everyone's got their their crew their tribe or multiple tribes in my case i think i have a couple different tribes. You know what I'm saying? And yeah, we're stoic in life because as men, you kind of have to be, but I don't think we're like that in our friend circles. Speaking for me, anyway. I totally agree with what Parks and Ish said.

Yeah, like your tribe. My network is wide. My network is huge from pastors to firemen to therapists to some doctors to hood niggas to, like you said, whatever bucket you feel like you need to pull from, I feel

like I have that in all of my loved ones and my family and my friends. Yeah, exact same thing. There's days me and Ice will just sit on the phone and talk parent shit for an hour. You know what I'm saying? And then there's other days I could be on the phone with Ice

and we just talking hip hop shit or other shit. Like, it just depends on, and then even. Wait, wait a second.

If you talking to Ice on the phone for an hour, how is his jaw supposed to not, not work? He can't, come on. Start adding up

all these hours. Yeah, 20, and keep the call 20 minutes cap alright cut off time for my job maintenance but no like I got friends

that'll check me I got friends that'll check me on some shit like if I'm doing some bullshit I got friends that'll be like

yo you bugging or even in my business life I procrastinate a lot I got friends that'll be like yo dog lately you been on your bullshit

you know what I'm saying like yo let's get with it so we can get this money like you know we got that my business life, I procrastinate a lot. I got friends that'll be like, yo, dog, lately you've been on your bullshit. You know what I'm saying? Like, yo, let's get with it so we can get this money. Like, you know, we got that. And the other thing is, my tribe ain't all men. Like, oh, true. That's true.

It's women in your tribe, too, that will, like he said, hold you down, check you. My mom's is part of my tribe. You know what I mean? It's things that, if I need that person who I know knows me through and through, I will call her. You know what I mean? It's things that if I need that person who I know knows me through and through, I will call her.

You know what I'm saying? And I might get, am I bugging? Let me get your take on this. Like, you know, just, it ain't all, well, we all have that tribe, though. That's true. Do you guys know the lone wolf type, though, that he's talking about? Yes. Yes.

Yeah. I do. I know him. I haven't really encounter him. If you were far between. The lone wolves that I know, they aren't lone wolves by choice. Like their parents died.

Their family is in another state, country. Their road just has them. All right, it's me. All I have is me. But I'm sure they would like a tribe but a lot of times you can and I don't even use the word tribe

friends are chosen family though and I'm an example of that because you know my dad passed away a long time ago my mom recently passed away but I was alone in this country so I've had to find my tribe over the course of the last two decades. You know what I'm saying?

I've picked up a move twice. I've had to find tribes two times. It's probably easy to find a tribe that would have put some. That's probably true. Hey, y'all, hey, y'all, hey, y'all. Park tried jumping in relief. You got a dick.

It's true. I wouldn't exactly say. I'm talking shit. It's true. I wouldn't exactly say. I'm talking shit. Yeah, okay. I was going to say dynamics between women can sometimes be fraught with a lot of bullshit, so it's not that easy. Fraught, that's a good one. Yeah.

Word of the day. Now word of the day. Look at you chasing it now. Now you chasing the word of the day, though. It's fine. Actually, my whole weekend was like tribe. Dope. It's fine. Actually, my whole weekend was like tribe. Dope. That came full circle, but...

We had rituals as well. I didn't mean that. It was my aunt. It was my aunt's 70th birthday, Matt Lee. Happy birthday, Matt Lee. I love you. Happy birthday.

She looked nice, too. She is... No, it was lit. She is the youngest of 13 of my grandfather's siblings rest in peace grandpa and grandpa and grandma i love y'all uh and there's only seven of them left they all they all yeah i mean so it was good to have all of them there a lot of they did a lot we my family did a lot of fucking down there so it's cousins galore it's cousins galore so to be down there and to see just like

your cousins that you was six and seven with and now you've grown and you fucking everybody's got family you find like a lot of similarities with that like with family that you don't really be around did you see shit in them that you're like oh shit you are my cousin yeah no for sure no my family oh oh, my God. Listen, being down there, you learn about yourself, too, right? Back to tribe. Y'all think that I talk foul, and maybe I do on the internet to y'all people. I talk so mild compared to my family how all of them talk.

It's all, shut up, stupid. You left the fucking fucking your big dummy left the screen door open do you want you idiot like oh i'm home i'm home with people that are direct and blunt my my aunt katherine and my i haven't seen my family since my grandfather died in 2015 i want to say so not only is family different, the city, the town is different. But my Aunt Catherine is out there now and I'm just watching her remind me of my granddad

and just how they move, how they talk, how they treat people. Her house is now the centralized house, always been, but now that door is open. Aunt Catherine was on that stove all day. All day long.

I'm talking about like, if 70 people was coming in the house, there's food here for 70 people. I've never seen a fire so high as Aunt Catherine's. Greens. I was about to say, what'd she make? I want to live vicariously. Yams. Somebody got cursed out when they left

the yams in the fridge or some shit. That plate look all right though. And then was going to go make the yams real quick. Oh shit, I forgot the yams. You want me to make the, wait, that ain't oodles and noodles, but that shit was fly.

Went to my grandfather's gravesite. And not my grandfather's gravesite, the button gravesite over there. And just was, it's always chilling over there but like when you start seeing all of the history i'm looking at buttons from 1825 wow from they got it they got it traced all the way back so i'm in there pacing around trying to see where my ma's or liam gonna go right like hold up keep Keep a little soul up now.

That's where you want to be buried? Interred. Interred? Melissa. What? Stop trying to get mad words of the day off. Interred. Okay, sorry.

But I thought, well, being there made me think about it. Right? Because my grandfather went, but before he went, my grandma, they got the plots right next to each other. You know, you get the plots right next to each other you know you get the plots right next to each other and then Michael Paul's father who died

at 45 I didn't know that until I'm just looking at all of these dates and stuff he was 45 that's so young I'm like god damn

that's young but he's right next to them and I'm like yeah when I when it's time God knock on wood send me

send me to my people's shit. But that made me have a conversation with my mom. Yeah, sure. So as I'm riding one, I'm like, Mom, where is your mom buried? And she's like, the Bronx. I never do that. I never thought to ask. My grandma's in the Bronx.

I said, you want to go in the Bronx? She said, no, I don't want to go in the Bronx. I wouldn't put you in the Bronx. We said, you want to go in the Bronx? She said, no, I don't want to go in the Bronx. I wouldn't put you in the Bronx. Like, we need to get that together. These are really dope conversations to have.

The Bronx. So then she starts talking about like maybe cremation is a thing. We start having these conversations, but, you know, really good time over there

just with, you know, my time over there just with you know my brother telling me there's something it's a different sumter like you're trying to go out and you're trying to go out and kiki and have fun now but oh wait so you didn't go to the strip club no no i did not he told you once my brother told me yeah he's down there too huh it's been a few bodies it's been a few bodies it's up it's been a few bodies it's been a few bodies it's been a few bodies dropping down there rest in peace but i never seen my dad good to see my dad so happy and ecstatic he was so he drove down there i took a plane so he got his luggage still he drove he drove he drove down there and he couldn't have been more ecstatic to go and get a pig. Yeah.

Dog. My dad, speaking of men on islands that's stoic. I've seen it. My dad is like, if it ain't a spade game or a timeshare, he don't really care. He don't show emotion like that. Not at all. He ain't with none of that shit.

But he was hyped to go down there and get this pig. Said, Aunt Catherine got two pigs. They're going to keep one and a half. And I get a half a pig. I'm going to go clean the pig and gut the pig. And we're going to put the pig in the trunk. And I'm like, oh, country ho. Yes.

My man with the weed farmer just had to put down his pigs for processing. He was going through it. The mushrooms was therapy for him. See? processing he was going through it the mushrooms was therapy for him see that pig was good than a fuck oh man because mom's wing got the barbecue from some little white spot we're not gonna sit here pop got the real pig and overlook you niggas being sentimental over the pig his pig's like he's a farmer so they the pigs are like they clean they do work there they like clean the brush farmer so they the pigs are like they clean they do work there

they like clean the brush out and all that shit so like they were part of his tribe that pig was a good fucking pig and my dad was really happy

really really happy your father bringing some shank back to Harlem oh yeah my mom on her way over there right now to get some of that pig they not playing

now that I'm older down there, I realized that my great granddad had a lot more land than I knew about. Like a lot. Me knowing it was a bit. I feel like you mentioned before that they had a lot, but it's a lot more? It's more than I thought. And it's been a topic? It's more than I thought. Oh. And it's been a topic of discussion. I bet.

What, in terms of like retirement? I can't get into it. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That sounds like it could be some rival reasons. Thank you. Got it. Got it. Anyway.

I had a similar weekend. Oh, shit, and they moved my fucking favorite Piggly Wiggly. No! No! No! Not the Piggly Wiggly I grew up with. I used to walk that.

Oh, you had a bad weekend, man. They took your Piggly Wiggly. They took Piggly Wiggly. Uggs. Almost took the pig. Yeah, they got me. They got me, man. They got you, man.

Put a fucking Walmart up where Piggly Wiggly is. That is unfortunate. Dog in Sumter, South Carolina. That's unfortunate. Come on, man. Walmart is the Don Dobbins. It's just down for that shit.

I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. It's just down for that shit. Dog, where my family from, the Walmart is the hangout. And you don't got shit to do, niggas go to Walmart three times a day to walk around. That's their social shit. It's the mall. With an outfit on.

We need the baby to go over there. Niggas get outfits. We got to send the baby over there to Walmart. You think I get out. We got to send the baby up there. Walmart is the shit down there. There's an IG page devoted to the antics at Walmart. There's also an IG page devoted to women taking care of their dogs. Oh, my God. Don't start with me, motherfucker.

Do not fucking start with me. I was going to say that I had a similar weekend to you where I saw my family tribe oh yeah I did it was my sister's birthday you have a sister I did so my I am my mother's only child but papa was a rolling stone so I'm the youngest of 11 yes damn oh he was rolling he was rolling yes like Tina Turner nine okay anyways anyways yes so I'm the youngest of 11 so I saw my sister it was her birthday and I saw nieces and nephews and great nieces and great great I have great great nieces like it's fucking insane and I was looking at all of our faces shut up I was looking at all of our faces and the genetics are the four genetics are strong but it was it was really, really wonderful.

Because like you, I haven't been able to see my sister since like 2018. I didn't see my niece since, oh my God, maybe a decade. Life just keeps life in. But this was, this was really fantastic. It was, it filled me up. That's a beautiful thing. I was in Buffalo. Yeah?

Big Buffalo. Yep. Buffalo, New York.. I was in Buffalo. Yeah? Big Buffalo. Yep, Buffalo, New York. I got family in Buffalo too. Yeah, so it was good times. Shout out to family, man. That shit's dope, man.

I like to see that. you posted, I thought you posting all that shit about your family, hearing you about yours, that shit inspired me. Yeah. Yeah,

getting around family in good times. And that's the thing. Not the funeral. When family can get together and it's not the funeral. Yeah, man. Because you know what happens at the funeral? Everybody say the same shit.

Yo, dog, yo, we got to start getting together. We got to start doing this. We shouldn't only be meeting under these circumstances. It sound good and nobody do it. For sure. So to hear that. Yeah, me and my sister and my niece, we sat down and we were like, this level of time like you

know this amount of time that passed in between us seeing each other this cannot happen we are all that we have left and it's just like I remember my sis when I was born I was my sister's baby doll like she literally acted like I was her baby and my niece and me were very much like sisters it's like very small age differences between us and you know so we started making plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas and a trip and stuff like that now now y'all are at the point where y'all could start the new tradition I've operated very much kind of like the lone wolf which is another reason why I wanted to ask you guys about that whole tribe conversation because a lot of times I have acted like a lone wolf and separated myself from my family and it has been to my own detriment and as I've gotten older I've started to feel like why did I do that you know

what I mean so I've had to like ask myself some really really hard questions and it's you know so being able to go back and see my family and and be welcomed with open arms like you like I never left was really like I think my spirit really needed it. You know, so I say all that today. Yeah, my family was extremely proud of me. They were just proud. That shit was dope. It felt good.

They was doing some karaoke shit. My aunt said, now, we're going to do Pump It Up. Your cousin's going to sing Pump It Up. All we need you to do is come up here and just hit us with a little two-step. We know you can't perform it because you've got contracts. That's so cute. That was cute.

Yeah, that's cute. So I went up there and did a little two-step. I told my aunt Catherine, listen, anytime you invite me over here to eat, I'm coming to eat. We do need to make more effort to see and spend time with our families. I got to see my fucking cousin. She brought a boyfriend. Oh, this was great. Oh, yeah.

Yo, that'd be your favorite thing. When your cousin that you kind of the same age with bring a boyfriend to the family. Oh, she was feeding this nigga. And I said, hey, how long y'all been together? She's been a year and a half. I said, oh, girl. And you brought that nigga over here?

My family is the wrong family to do that. My family is the wrong family to do that. In a year and a half, nigga? You should not bring your significant other of a year and a half to the Budden slash Ramsey family function. That is a mistake. I mean, talk about how-

You think it'll run them off? Yeah, talk- The way that he said they talk. My cousin Brenda said, my cousin Brenda said, all right, cousin picture. Because you know they had an eldest picture where they got all the elders together. All right, cousin picture. All the cousins. They had the little ring shit.

All the cousins came together. Here she go. Her boyfriend want to follow. Follow. Oh, nah. Nah, they all my man, my man. Brenda, loud as hell. No, no, no.

Family. No, no, no. Cousins, I said. Alone, we want her. You go. You go. I'm like, Brenda, he right there. Yeah.

He like 6'4". I'm like, hey, come on, chill. Nigga, you ain't a cousin. You're not a cousin. Yeah, I don't know why. We can talk about that. She should have sat down. Nigga, next year you might not even be around.

You and I picture. I don't want to see none of my girl cousins feeding potato salad to their fucking boyfriend. Hey, man. Game is the game. Hey, man. My bad cousins are still bad. Hey, man.

Niggas in jail. There's some other shit happening I can't the game. Hey, man. My bad cousins are still bad. Hey, man. Niggas in jail. There's some other shit happening I can't talk about. It got real. Come on. What do we want to lend our opinions to? We here with opinions and hot takes. What's the most important of them all? Basketball season started.

We'll get to it. Come on. Is there anything music-based here? I see Rihanna's name there somebody's falling for the okie doke so it's the okie doke okay so everybody there's headlines that are saying you know that rihanna is got a inked a 32 million dollar deal with rock nation for two albums and a tour thank you i was wondering where the 32 million dollar number came from yeah i was like that sounds that's in her piggy bank and shit rihanna gonna sign a deal I was wondering where the $32 million number came from. From the billionaire purse.

Yeah, I was like, that sounds really low. That's in her piggy bank and shit. I think Rihanna going to sign a deal for $32 million to put out some music. That's the car wash money. Okay, so what's the purpose of sending this out into the ether? Like, somebody came up with this. Oh, man. Would you like me to tell you the point? Yes, please, go ahead.

Why somebody does shit like that? Yeah. And it just catches fire. That's why. And what's Rihanna doing right now? They got nothing to do with Rihanna. She didn't put that out. Okay.

Whoever did it, just come up with some bullshit and go put it out. Yo, they're going crazy over this dumb shit. That's crazy. That's the internet. Dog, I do not think we getting a Rihanna album no time soon.

I don't think we're getting one ever. I don't think we're getting one, dog. She came out. Go I don't think we're getting one ever. I don't think we're getting one, dog. She came out. Go back and listen to Anti again. There you go. There's your album. Yeah, honestly. And it's that good that you can, but she did the Super Bowl and didn't try to promote

nothing. Nothing. Not a single. Nothing. She just went right back to ASAP crib. So what? Don't just brush over that. Stop for a second.

Do you think that the people call that ASAP crib? Or her crib? They probably rotate If I'm the man in the house, that's my crib. I don't give a fuck. If I'm digging you down,

I don't give a fuck how much you make. That's patriarchy? No. That's real nigga-archy. There you go. There you go. Noah's RK. I'm not against all

people. You're not against RK? I'm not. Newsflash, a lot of women ain't either. Yeah. They my tribe. They my tribe. They like that shit. They do. Anyway. When you guys was spanking. I forgot what we was talking about just now.

Rihanna. Oh yeah, we're not getting a Rihanna project. We're not happening. I don't see it. What is the benefit of somebody

to even put that out? Should do some shows. The benefit of them doing it? 32 million, I'll give you three shows. Streaming though. Streaming only. And I'll give you

a little merch shirt. Damn. I don't even think we getting that I should have went to vocal classes when I was young or something 32 million

33 shows something light well you gotta earn I could have had skims out before Kim you know what I mean skish stupid y'all see that though what she's announcing skims for men You know what I mean? Skish.

Stupid, yo. Y'all see that, though? What? She's announcing skims for men. Genius. They just won't stop getting money, yo. What y'all think about it, though? I think that. Why give me some skims?

I'm not in the house to get some skims, yo. You gonna wear skims? Why give me a couple skims? Some of that shit looked all right. T-shirt. The T-shirt shit. That shit was all right. Suck your gut in.

No, no, no. There ain't no tight fitting. I mean, they have that too, but they got just regular shit. Maybe they got the skims invisaligned. Here we go. Get that jaw nice. For the jaw, yeah. Get that jaw fixed up.

You can't say the word jaw around men. That's what it is. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, you can't do that. You can't say a lot of words around us, to be fair. All right, so Kim Kardashian dropped skims for men. Melissa, is it all right if we get an ad deal? If we get a...

Oh, yeah. Is it okay? Can I go without you spazzing? Yes. I would love for that to happen. I would love for you to come in and start talking about your baddie wear. I am now an official baddie. I am wearing skims.

Yes, please do. Thank you. I would love that. You have your permission. We appreciate that. I would lovedie. I am wearing skims. Yes, please do. Thank you. I would love that. You have your permission. I would love that. I would love that. Man, I am a baddie without wearing skims. I don't think you really,

you don't really respect the niggas in here. You don't. You don't know who we be for real. I've been saying that for a few times. Well, I mean, I got an education seeing Mr. Slow Mo over here. So yes, I do see that. Mr. Slow Mo. I don't even really I do see that. Mr. Slow Mo.

I don't even really think that was education. It wasn't at all. I don't think that was education. I mean... That wasn't nothing. Okay. Well, I mean, educate me.

What am I missing? No, no, we can't do that either. No, I'm just saying, that wasn't... You guys are like, hey. Hold on now. We not them.

Don't clam up and claim humble now. She do think we them. Okay. No, we not. We don't move like them. We don't move like them. We don't move like them. They ain't going to sit here and...

It's cool. Yeah. I've accepted it. She do though. No. No, give me... Mel, I'm telling you this. Okay.

If the niggas on this couches were single... Mm-hmm. That's all I'm... Dot, dot, dot. Just take it wherever you want and take it. If the niggas sitting on these couches were single, I think your

perception of us would be different. And I'm gonna add, vastly different. I have never entertained the idea that you guys cannot attract a plethora of women.

Just by her saying it, she don't even really understand what we're saying. A plethora of women. Just by her saying it, she don't even really understand what we're saying. A plethora. Her response to that tells her she don't really know what we're saying. Hey, listen, I am consistently being educated while I sit here. T.

I already know what she would feel like if she got a glimpse of my shit. I seen how the Peruvian niggas was dancing around her. The Peruvian niggas had her Friday night to the moon. The fuck? Come on, let's talk music.

Let's get into hip hop. Hip hop, City Girls. What'd they say, 6,000? Yeah, 6 to 8,000. 6 to 8,000. I didn't believe that number. I thought it was like just sales.

I still don't believe it. I think that's, I think somebody put that out because you know the numbers be oh the physical sales yeah yeah i think somebody put that extremely low number out counting only the sales as like a jab at them i just can't see that happening if i'm wrong i'll be the first to tell you i'm wrong i don't see not saying that because i saw a lot of people saying yo there was no lead single. There's no hype. It was quiet. They cold,

which is all true. All of that's true. It was quiet. I don't know of an artist that signed to a major. They cold musically. Yes. Yeah.

Well, that matters. That matters. No, that matters. It matters, but not 6,000. Not 6,000 matters.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's why I'm like, I would have, if they would have told me the number was like, 20,

15, 19, 20. Yeah. I'm agreeing with that. I don't know of an artist that signed to a major that's doing 6,000. Especially with that kind of profile. Yeah. I just don't know of it. Yeah.

That would be shocking. I need to have that number confirmed. Still sounds unbelievable to me. I'm with you as far as how they counted that. Maybe the album. I think it was intentional to put that part out there. Yeah, because then who would even put that? Somebody was trying to hurt them during their release.

Yes. So is that also why there's the rumblings that they're breaking up as well? I don't know. I think those have been there. Yeah. I think those rumblings that they're breaking up as well? I think those have been there. I think those rumblings have been there. I'm not so educated

in my city girl, but with JT and Uzi, I think them rumors started because JT was all super, super in love. And I mean, I'm not trying to add to none of these rumors, but if you look at it today, like, Carisha's

pretty big. Carisha is pretty big. Yeah. She moving on. Carisha is pretty big. I don't think she cares at all with this album numbers. Her profile is her profile. She's established a profile outside of music,

which is what a lot of these newer acts are doing today. Like, yo, the music is the introduction. That's it. I'm not staying here. I have a plan to go over here, and that's where I'm going to make the money at because ain't nobody buying no albums anyway. And if they're in the 360, I mean, whoever is behind them ain't dropping them. No.

They ain't getting rid of them. True. This is not back in the day where your deal or your next effort was totally relying on what your album did. Like, these girls are valuable your deal your deal and all of that now or your next project is valued on your current profile and that's bigger than music yeah she just won the social was it social media hip-hop platform award for the BET Awards two years in a row big Two years in a row. Big Carisha? Like, her stock is high.

Ain't nobody dropping her. Carisha, come get my award, girl. Get my shit. That's it. I did see the alleged DM conversation somebody had with JT, and I don't believe any of that stuff. I don't believe none of that shit. Well, what did it say

for the people that don't know? It was just, oh, I can't stand that girl. Oh, wow. Stuff like that. It was like somebody having a back and forth. So then that must have been

when those photos came out from their listening party where, I mean, it's a photo so it's a split second in time but they captured what could be looked at as Karisha

like rolling her eyes at JT. And the distance in which... I mean, whoever's creating this campaign that they are on the outs with each other and it's a foregone conclusion that they're going to break up, I mean, it's gaining traction. That could be intentional, too. Because the sales might not be great, so let's stir up some shit that'll make people go check this shit out.

Exactly. I wouldn't be shocked by that being a tactic. Roll out. I hate to use your shit, but. Everything's gonna roll out. Yeah. I mean. Could be.

Again, every time I say that, I just look at the timing. You get what I'm saying? The album just dropped. We ain't heard nothing about them breaking up like this. We haven't seen text messages and all this type of stuff until after the album dropped right and it was a little bit quiet about that my question when that when stuff like that happens is why now and the only answer that makes sense is oh promo but again i i'm not believing that number back to them back to that i need to be more educated in my in my propaganda or rumors before I have a take on this.

I like them. I do think there'll be a void if there's a breakup between them. I don't. Me either. There's a lot of people that have. It's a bunch of new girls that have come into that space that are talking that same jargon. It's not even talking that same jargon. For me, they all do it different.

It's evolved a little bit. And that's the problem that they're having. I agree with you there. That talk has evolved a bit. But I think, you know me, I think all the girlies do it a little bit. They do. But what I'm saying, I say it evolved off of them because what they were talking, the average girl can't relate to. A couple was playing that game like they were talking.

The newer crop are speaking to the regular, like the average girl out there. It's like City Girls 2.0. Like now all of us relate to what they say. Can y'all speak to, why is it that when people become, when people attain a certain amount of success, they lose the ability to speak to the average everyday or relate to the average everyday person? They ain't average no more. I don't think so.

I think it's the contender. I think it's the person. Because some people have 50 Cent. I'm just throwing the name out. Right, and an example. This guy's the greatest. I just think that when 50 Cent talks,

he could still be relatable to the average street dude or the person of whatever life or path he's walked. I think they still relate to that. You think he's the exception? I understand what you're saying or a path he's walked I think they still relate to think he's the exception I understand what you're saying he's one of a lot of them he's one a lot of I don't count 50 cent for nothing yeah he's one of them um I'm just saying like one of one true it's like when for example like when Wayne had made some comments and people were highly upset

about it but it's like bro you're so far removed that you don't really understand what's going on at this level and that happens to a lot of people you grow you become you get a lot more money you experience in a different lifestyle yeah you remember to start to grind but now you

live this life so long that you you can't relate to this no more I think J. Cole is very rich and still speaks very every man. All right, sure. I think it depends on when you got rich. He's a great example of that. That's a really good one.

I think it depends on when. And be clear, I'm not even just, I know we talking music because that's what we do here, but when I ask that question, I'm thinking about the scope. Yeah.

Right? Athletes, everybody. Yeah, like when I went to NBC for whatever I was doing up there, there were rumblings that maybe Steve Harvey wasn't as relatable after he got his family feud bag and this bag and this bag. Right. He says he does say some shit that the common man would look at. Like, shut your ass up. Like we've had. Like there's a reason Maury Povich was in dressed in all that bullshit for all of those years yeah like

and Maury got it got it he got it got it but that would be distracting like let me just put this bullshit on

and be unassuming and the audience will all there's a value to that I hate that that happens for artists right like because we get in this shit to be successful, right?

Like the city girls by any metric is successful. Whether you're talking about romance with Uzi and Puff. Everything. Brand deals. They're successful all around the board. Shouldn't that, that should be the goal. It is the goal. It is the goal.

But you can't lose. Oh, go ahead. I was going to say, but there's the allure to, you know, for your music and artistry to reflect your comeuppance. You know what I'm saying? Your elevation. I think it depends on your demo. I really think it depends on your demo. I think that if you're a, let's say you're an R&B singer.

You don't have to, hip-hop is based around a certain aesthetic. Like, if you're an R&B singer, you could come out with a white t-shirt on and some jeans on and sing your shit and go back in the tub. If you're an R&B singer, Sans J. Cole, everybody else fits this uniform that quote-unquote

stereotypical rap acts have to portray. You gotta have a chain. You gotta have the watch. You gotta have a chain. You gotta have the watch. You gotta have all of those things. I feel like the theme, like the most basic foundational theme of hip hop is,

you know, we came from nothing and now we're something. And we're going to show, you know, in every way, shape and form, a reflection of what we have now attained through the grind. But you lose that.

But is that a double-edged sword? You do lose that relatability. Like, I read a book, and it was talking about, Pee Wee Kirkland was like the narrator in the book. We all know who Pee Wee Kirkland was, right? And so he's talking about when they tried to get, like, Jay-Z years ago to go talk to the kids Jay-Z is so rich that he's kind of lost his relatability to the average urban person because he's up up

billions of dollars so it's not something that we look at as attainable whereas if we had somebody that was up a couple hundred grand or up two or three million dollars then you look at that person like I could be them you don't look at yourself and say I could be Jay-Z unfortunately you get what I'm saying even though he's come from where we come from a lot of us or he's walked in uh shoes that a bunch of us have worn you don't look at that because he's so so rich that puff Jay um even 50 people don't look at 50 like they look at them even though his money is up because he still speaks to a level of of commoners sometimes

and so I think that it is a gift and a curse when you when you look at that that's their mistake not looking at 50 like they look at them other dudes

no no no but 50 I understand I get it he still be on social media. He's still laughing and joking, posting funny shit on social media. So you look at him like he's one of us

more than you look at Jay or Puff. Like look at Cardi B. Anytime Cardi says anything, human, regular shit, girl, shut up. You rich, you can't do that. It's like you're not allowed to be a human anymore because we see the lifestyle you live the circumstance exactly you are here don't talk to us

about human shit it's like they don't even view you as a human no more but i think that's one of the appeals with cardi is that she is still so carded get up there like yo with my bonnet on uh it's over for that yes i was getting was getting ready to say it's over. That's what it was. It was that. Originally. Unfortunately I do think that. That it's over for that? Yes. She's on the other side of that. Not for her. Please don't misconstrue it and go to the NL and have anatomy. No, that was her appeal. Before. Her appeal was

That's what I said was the problem with that Bongo's record. What we're saying right now is what I'm saying. That used to be Cardi. It's different now. Because that definitely was her appeal. For sure. That's what won for her.

The common person, the common female in the Bronx or in Detroit or in Chicago could appeal to this girl. Regular, regular. It's the same thing I said about the city girls versus the new crop of the artists, women rappers today. same thing I said about the city girls versus the new crop of the artists women rappers today relatable to just the average girl who can see themselves in her I think so but I think that's really a thing in hip-hop more than most other arm professions absolutely unfortunately no for sure for sure it is I don't know if it exists at all in any other profession, honestly. Yeah.

No, I agree. Even some of the athletes that are mega rich, you don't necessarily look at them like they're not relatable. Right. You can't wear all that shit on the court. Maybe a Floyd. Floyd. That's about it. But that's it.

Yeah. Think LeBron and them walking. They got sweatpants on with a man bag and they just be walking around they'll have you know shit that would even if they got on a watch watch it don't be it might be a six hundred thousand dollar watch with no diamond it ain't bust down it's not it's not the shiny shit so it's not the change I think that's a hip-hop exclusive we finally we finally got an answer to our Jay-z our Jay-z internet meme that black Twitter made up would you read Jay-z sat down with Gayle King that interview comes out is it out already in trial I think it's

coming out in two parts two parts is supposed to drop but they released a clip where he says, if you have the opportunity to go to dinner with me or get $500,000, take the $500,000. And buy a couple of albums. And go listen to the music. Go buy some albums. Anything that I would tell you at the dinner,

I already put in the music. That's a bad deal. And I wouldn't tell you to go get the bad deal. Take the money take 1999 or whatever these albums cost and then go listen to them again which is similar to what he said to me on the phone when I was like hey man some of this shit you're telling me you got to tell people he echoed that exact thing. Really? I did it already. It's in the music.

I said it a million times. If you didn't hear it, that's on you. He feels like that. Conversely, that's some arrogant humility. Rick Ross said he would take the dinner. He just came out and said he would take the dinner. He said because one time he went to dinner with Jay when he was doing one of the albums.

And he said Jay gave him some advice that just made him a way better artist and a way better rapper. I'm taking the dinner, too. But I'm not. I'm rich. You rich already. I was going to say, you and Rick Ross are not, you know, hurting for $500,000. I'm 100% taking the dinner.

And Hov is only telling y'all that to keep y'all away from the jewels. And he don't want to do all these dinners. No, he does not. He's trying to keep y'all away from the gyms because it might be a little selfish. Hey, whatever you said in that album, expound over some calamari.

Expound over these meatballs that's coming out. I got some other questions. I ain't hearing reasonable doubt. I got reasonable doubts. Yeah, I agree with Rick Ross. I'm taking a dinner too. I never really thought about this. Y'all internet kids out there,

that's... I'm taking the money. Taking the money. That's disrespecting me and some other people. Talk about dinner with Joe Budden or a pair of Asics. That's funny to y'all.

That's kind of funny. What color are the Asics? Don't worry. Everybody has one. They didn't only do me. That's fine. You keep the same energy. When I start reading y'all's on.

That's real. Yeah, exactly. They did a boss. Yes. You're lying. Yes, they're out there. That's funny. I know that's great.

Dinner with Ish or whatever they said. Yeah, exactly. Dinner's funny. I know that's great. Dinner with Ish or whatever they say. Yeah, exactly. Dinner with Mel. What? Don't hurt my feelings. Don't hurt my feelings. I would never. OK.

I would never. OK. Yeah, a whole full of shit. I mean, he's right. He is right about it being in the music. I do agree with that. But nah, tell me some more. You stopped rapping. For a lot of people, you need the 500 more than being in the music. I do agree with that. But nah, tell me some more. You stopped rapping.

For a lot of people, you need the 500 more than you need the dinner. And that's why he's saying that. See, to be relatable. That's what it is? Yes. Because he would be a complete dickhead if he said,

me. Take the dinner with me, nigga. Come sit with me. He would be a dickhead. They would view him differently. He would look nuts. He can't say that. That's say that that's true i agree he did the right thing but we going to dinner hole but again you rich so whatever he can impart on you is going to be different than he giving it to me yeah i ain't rich enough i know so now you at the next level where whatever he can tell you can make you scale up. Mr. Carter, tell me how to take, I can take my little bit of this and turn it into a whole lot of that.

That's true. Yeah. And I'll take the Wagyu bacon as I wait. They got Wagyu bacon? Yes-ish. They doing some shit to these pigs. We got to take you down south. You got to come down south with me man

I just was down there Your family from down there I just was down there From my aunt's 75th I don't wanna hear from Those southern nigga That don't eat pork That didn't finish college

I really didn't see no comment about them being on your head. Why? About not finishing college? Yeah. Why? Yeah, why? What was there to be on your head about? People just be wanting something to say.

Especially now that Skims is available for men. All you got to do is go get you a Faja. You heard him, right? I heard him. He's smart, though.

That's what we're talking about. All right, move it. You got it, big dog. You know what I'm saying? Can you touch your toes? That's a little invasive. You can't ask nobody that. Why she can't ask that? If I ask, can you touch your toes, then's a little invasive. You can't ask nobody that. Why she can't ask that?

Fuck Pilates. Oh, shit. Drop out on drop out, B. And, Mel, to answer you, I'm assuming that he can't touch his toes. I don't think he can. Probably don't. Yeah, I don't think he can. I don't think that many niggas in here

can touch their toes. I can touch my toes. I can touch my toes. I think it's only you that can. You think? I do think. Let's do a demonstration. I love it.

Come on, come on, come on. Come on. Please. If you're listening at home, we're now doing the Touch Your Toes challenge. Come on, go ahead. I're listening at home, we're now doing the Touch Your Toes challenge. Come on, go ahead. I can't.

Fingertips are hands flat. Then why the hell was you standing up? Flat hands. You just did it, right? Flat hands, flat hands. Hey, man, I'm 6'2". Get your 5-foot ass out of here, flat hands on the ground. Flat hands is a lot.

Flat hands is a lot. You didn't say that at first. And I just touched my toes. Your go. Are your long arms under law? Get your Jabba ran ass out here. You got your long arms. Everybody can do that.

Everybody cannot do that. That was good, though. That was nice. I did give a little bit. You did. But I did it. All right. Why are you looking at me? All right. Well, listen. They're listening at home. They're a little bit. You did. But I did it. All right. Why you looking at me?

All right. Well, listen, they're listening at home. They're listening at home. You can get up and try it. You ain't before for the 11 anyway. Oh, god. All right. Come on, move right.

Listen, TGT, I couldn't be happier. In that clip, though, I think we got some information as to why they broke up that I didn't know about. We definitely did. What was it? They made Tyrese swear on record. Publicly say that he was going to split the spanky.

Yeah, he was going to split the, split the, got me about to say spanky. Split the money three ways down the middle. Evenly. Evenly. I always thought that

that was the problem though, was the money and, yeah, and that Tyrese thought that he was the biggest one out of the group and deserved the lion's share of the money. That was what I always thought. Can I ask a question? Well, he changed his mind.

Okay. Is that admissible in court? No. Okay. But they got... Them niggas is 20, 30 years in the music business. I'm sure the new contractual shit will reflect that equal third split.

I think Tyrese means it. Me too. I do think that he means this. I don't think he was just bullshitting for the camera. I don't think so. And I was real ecstatic about it until his ex-wife popped up

and started stressing him out trying to get him to change his mind. She needed to chill out. Wait, change his mind about what? She went on a podcast and she discussed the fact that she regrets filing for divorce and says that her friends were in her ear leading her down the wrong road. You gonna take credit for this too?

Hey, champ. No. Hey, champ. I'm not taking credit for this. I messed up, champ. Take me back. Oh, shit. This is paint on this grass.

This shit This shit ain't really green over here Grass don't be green On that other side nigga And then Tyrese made a response video Oh I didn't see that It was like You can't play with black tie

Black tie Black tie Black tie Right now that's his name Yeah Yeah Or Martin Luther Or Martin Luther King

Correct You can't play with any of them Yeah But he was pissed Anyway he was pissed The video was like 10 minutes long He responded He said Or Martin Luther. Or Martin Luther King. Correct. He can't play with any of them. Yeah. But he was pissed. Anyway, he was pissed. The video was like 10 minutes long. He responded.

He said, I am with. And he said his girl now. His girl's name now. He said that a few different times. Women don't never think about that. Well, maybe they do. Like, you're going on camera. That might be what inspired it a little something. You're going on the internet talking about, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have left you. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, you don't think about the spot that you put in his current significant other in? I don't think she gave a fuck. This is going for the throat. That might be why she did it. Not just that.

She better not fuck up this TGT rollout. I know that. I've been waiting way too long. We gonna talk like niggas or we gonna talk like niggas? I was gonna say, if you just... I just wanna know. We gonna talk like niggas or we gonna be podcasters? I always wanna talk like niggas.

I always wanna talk like niggas. All right, we gonna talk like niggas. All right, give it a shot. Well, look. Okay. Okay. Ain't been too many R&B albums that have come out and eclipsed this since this came out. Before they get into the hook, we'll toss it back to Ice so I can hear, but these three niggas is too great together.

Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. If we fucking, then I could somehow find an Apple TV and put it on Joseph Station and it's come on. Oh, man. Powerful. It goes. Oh, my God. Them niggas is nice. I ain't going to lie to you. All right. All right. What you were saying?

No, I was just trying to find out what we were talking about. Oh, we're going to be real. Okay. Stop, son. Oh, my God. The suspense is eating me up. My fault, but niggas will move the new shorty out the way if the one he in love with or been in love, really love like that, come back around. And make such a public declaration for that love.

And admits that she was wrong. Yeah, that's all I was waiting for. Puts her ego to the side. Yeah, you was here because I wanted to be there, but I couldn't be there. And I found you, and we have something really great. Now to be there, but I couldn't be there. And I found you. And we have something really great. Now that being said, you usually regret the double back. Of course.

That's true. But I knew shorty was going to start chewing a little, pissing you off. I totally am. I don't like the way you tie your sneakers. You know what I'm saying? You're starting to aggravate me. Yeah, but then you go back to the old one and all that shit pisses you off too. And you realize why she's the old one.

I get it. Yeah, but in certain instances, I'm trying to take it off of Tyrese. In certain instances. Well, I think what you just said takes it off Tyrese. Yeah, absolutely. Because I don't think this example is just for him. I want to respond to what Parks was saying, though. When you wasn't the one who wanted this to end.

True. She did. Yeah, no. I've been there too. So it ain't like all the shit that I get back with you, now I don't like again. I didn't like. There was nothing I didn't like.

I didn't want you to leave. You left. I wanted you back. Yeah, but sometimes you just want them back. Because they left your ass. Because they left your ass. And then you get back and you're like, oh, I didn't really want this back.

I'm just going to say, the new shorty don't start looking the same when the old shorty declares that she wants you back. She looks a little dusty? Little pig finish. Little pig finish. But I did hear Tyrese's ex-wife And what she said

And she talked about how She had the wrong circle The wrong tribe Around her Feeding her shitty information She said she Was on the phone With her attorney

When she was just Balling and in tears And distraught And emotional And she said That's definitely the wrong person I should have been on the phone with I mean

Well because they had an incentive obviously okay and your girlfriends be broke and your girlfriends be single and they got an incentive too whoa whoa whoa hold on one second here they don't want to see you riding around whoa whoa whoa whoa nope don't do that don't do the single girl thing that is such that is such a misnomer okay that like It is. I said okay. I am single girlfriend. You win. No, I'm just saying. I am single girlfriend and I don't go

and tell my girlfriends, oh, you got to dump him. You got to do this because I want you to be miserable like me. No. No. Y'all don't.

Well, I'm not going to talk. No, no, no. One question. Hold on. You don't try to save her. I'm not trying to save her. One question. I am not.

I'm doing the opposite of saving her. I'm going to take everything you. I am not. I'm doing the opposite of saving her. I'm going to take everything you said as the truth. Could you be an anomaly? Yes. And it could be a lot of other single girlfriends to do the exact same thing that we're speaking about, right? Could that be true? Yes.

And be clear. Sometimes they're not outwardly saying you should. They just try to make their life look like it's mad fun and lit. You're missing out. You're missing out on this shit over here. Oh, no, no, no. I'll be the first one to be like, do not fucking get divorced.

This shit is awful. I would also like to refer you, Miss Ford, to an earlier episode of this podcast we did. He loves this shit. Well, go ahead. Who loves it more, me or Ish? Yo, don't put me over here. Yo, what's wrong with you?

I keep... And pause, right? No, I'm talking? Yo, don't put me over. Yo, what's wrong with you? I keep. And pause, right? No, I'm talking about bringing up, referring to old podcast. I think that's Ish's back. My memory is not even good enough to really play this game. Oh, but because that, and that's what makes it. My memory is not good enough to play this game. It's extra juicy when you think you remembered something.

Mel, because I love and care about you. So sometimes when you say shit, I listen intensely to try to hear. you so sometimes when you say shit i listen intensely to try to hear you had an earlier podcast episode where you said your home girl was in such and such relationship and you couldn't understand why she kept trying to be with this man or why she kept trying to fight for him when he was a piece he did x my no no no you as the friend was telling her i love it it's time to go don't be stupid. I love this. You did literally all of the things that we're talking about right here. Wait, wait, wait.

Oh, I care if you're going to talk over me. Go ahead. No, because I know what you're saying. You're basically saying. Does anybody remember that episode? I do. Hold on one second here. But do you guys remember why I was saying it?

It wasn't because I was saying he was a piece of shit. It was because I was saying she was a piece of shit. It was because I was saying she was a piece of shit to him. I said, it is very uncomfortable for us to be around you when you emasculate him, when you speak to him

like he's garbage. Do not marry this man because to me, she was not worthy of him. The way she treated him was fucked up. And it was like, and we as your friends,

we're not cheerleading you when you do this. This is fucking gross maybe I forgot that part maybe I forgot that part you half remembered it and then you put some special sauce on it

I accept that to the record and I love special sauce paws I'm just saying like not you know we're not saying that all women do that you're not a monolith

okay that's right I am we're not a monolith why does she think that they're a monolith I don't know I don't think that we're a monolith. Okay. That's true. That's right. I am. We are not a monolith. Why does she think that they are monolith? I don't know.

I don't think that we're a monolith. Don't tell me shit. But there are a lot of women that the single... Mental. Well, mental. We'll say mental. We'll say mental. Just miserable people don't necessarily want to see you happy living your best life. Yeah.

Because it's a reflection of a mirror that you're putting up to their face that they live in a shitty life. Y'all tell me about the relationship you were in where you were madly in love with somebody and then they did something that totally changed your view and perception of them. And you can never look at them the same again after that. Has that ever happened to any of you? See, because this conversation we're talking about, for me, it don't apply to Tyrese because it really do sound like, and he and sat and talked to it do sound like he's tight about whatever she did like he's really really tight about it he keeps saying the way you presented yourself and who you are two different things uh you seem to now be on some money grab shit money hunt shit you're now trying to be a

celebrity life coach your focus is seem to be a celebrity life coach. Your focus is seeming to be social media followers and just things that didn't matter when we met. He seemed like, and I'm not speaking for him, but he seemed like

he's done done. Tell me about when y'all was done done and your perception changed because it's something that your significant other did. Well, you know. And let's do it fast.

You personally know, man. She took your doors. Yeah. All of them. No, I just had somebody well you know and let's do it fast you personally know mine she took your doors yeah all of them no I just had somebody that I was in a relationship with we did business together and

the moves that she made once we broke up on the business side were terrible morally and so I just could never look at you the same

like and my mother got involved like it was part you know what I'm saying like it was some damaging shit that she did to my mom etc etc and I was just like yo And so I just could never look at you the same. And my mother got involved. Like, it was part, you know what I'm saying? Like, it was some damaging shit that she did to my mom, et cetera, et cetera. And I was just like, yo, if you would do that, because it's do's and don'ts. If you would do some shit like that, then we never going to be there no more. I found a tape of him fucking another woman.

That's all? That's it? Oh, my God. Okay. Word? That's it? Oh my God. Okay. Word? Just asking. Don't look at me. We thought you had some heavy shit.

Yeah. You guys are sick fucks. That's not, that's not heavy shit. Finding, finding tapes of your, of your,

of your fiance having sex with other women. It's a feather. Please. Really? During your relationship. And lying about who it was. He didn't tell the truth?

That is crazy. He's supposed to tell you it was Jenna? No. He's supposed to tell you it was Sharon? Putting my health at risk at the same time. Oh, fuck that one. No, no, no. No, no, no.

I'm sick of that one. Fucking dusty bitches with no condoms and then coming to me? Yo, I just want to say, ladies out there, it's over for that one. I'm so tired of that one. If I cheated and fucked Shorty raw, let's have the real talk. Don't insert, you put my health at risk, even if it's true. Because that ain't the real talk. Oh, my God.

That's not the real talk. It was a significant part of it. Stop it. That's not the real talk. You put my health at risk. That's why you watch the video, huh? I disagree. I'm rocking with Mel on that.

Thank you. Good. She need all the support she can get. That is what... Parks, the health thing. Oh, is she still begging? It's a thing? Come on! It's not can get. Parks, the health thing. Oh, does she still take it? It's a thing? Come on!

It's not a thing. You guys are fucking gross. Y'all think he used a little bit of discernment enough? Yeah. No, I don't think he used any discernment whatsoever. The bitch was dusty as fuck. All right, let me ask. Wait, wait, wait.

Yes, yes, yes, I said it. How long from when y'all first started fucking, did y'all take the fuck wrong? She be trolling us, yo. Wait, what? When y'all first started fucking did y'all take the fucking wrong? She be trolling on show. Wait, what? When y'all first When you start fucking with homeboys

how long did it take for y'all to start fucking wrong? Look at her. Shut up. It's a couple months. Oh, so I'm definitely going to get some raw pussy. If it took you

a couple months I'm his girl. Fast forward to you know, our fianced. That means nothing. That means absolute. Oh, my God. You guys are sick of us. And she lying, right?

That means nothing and she lying. How is it? What am I lying about? How is he going to say it to me? Come on. I'll let it go. She be coming up here trolling us. And it works every time.

I'm not letting her go. What, you guys think I'm lying about the two months? I don't know. Let me ask you something. When he fucked Shorty Roy, I mean, cheated, how long, and when you found out, how long after did you take your test and all your gyno shit? It was almost immediate. Did you have anything?

No. So clearly he didn't use his test. And your health wasn't at risk because you didn't use it. And your health wasn't at risk, right? Look. And you still left him. For the commenters. What the fuck I did?

Because they group us together all the time. They group me and Joe together and the guys, the guys all the time. I'm standing with Mel on this one. Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm standing with Mel. After you was coughing saying liar and cat. It is cool.

Pander away. Pander away. No. Pander away. I'm off of this. I'm off of this. I'm not on mail. I'm not on mail. I be in the Sunday talk spaces

they be pressing me about mail. I'm not on mail. Okay, what happened? Ice, what's yours? It was a violation of trust and that led... Don't cry. Wait, wait, stop.

Slow down. Relax. Disrespect cannot be tolerated. Violation of trust, but it was really a disrespect of my mom. Whoa. I don't play that. Whoa. Who is dumb enough to do that?

Once that line is crossed, it's... Who's dumb enough to do that? And we'll justify that shit. There is no justification. No, I'm saying people will justify it. There's no justification. Yeesh. Niggas say some bullshit.

Yo, I only did it because. Oh, that don't even count to me. That's like, you do that. Yeah. That's automatic. Yeah, no, moms is off limits.

Barks? One I can think of is she started hanging around mutual friends, like dudes. She thought they were platonic. And I'm like, yo, I know these dudes. They want to fuck you. She's like, nah, no way, no way.

She slipped and fell? No, she didn't slip and fall. She didn't do nothing, but. That you know of. No, I don't think she did. I don't think she did. But it just got to the point where I started learning that they were in love with her. It was like, you have to stop hanging out with these dudes.

She chose them over you. Sort of. She felt like I was trying to police her friendships or some bullshit. I'm like, dog, all right. Think she slipped and fell. She didn't slip and fall. That's my knowledge. Maybe after.

Well, no, because the dudes, respectfully. Not on. They not piggity? If she slipped and fell, that's a bad fall. A lot of motherfuckers like falling in the mud. That was a bad fall. Yeah, I'm with you guys. It's a violation of trust.

Not the lie, but I need to know the process behind, your thought process behind the lie, why you felt like you need to lie, and the severity of the lie. Like, how big is this lie? Like, what are we doing here? Yes-ish? No, that's not fair.

Why is it not fair? Because, I don't want to pander. I'm not pandering. This is my real thoughts. I'm not pandering. Because Mel says, yo, basically, when you find a videotape of the dude fucking a chick raw, that's a violation of trust and you lying.

Yes. I'm not agreeing with Mel for leaving for the cheat. How are you relating that to what I'm saying? Because all of those things that were your catalyst for leaving a relationship and being completely done, they are applicable to Mel. It's deception. Yes. No. It is. Yes.

It is a violation of trust. Everything in what I'm saying, if I can be allowed to speak about what I'm saying, I know it's tough to shut the fuck up. Everything I'm saying speaks to the degree. Mel's boundary and my boundary ain't going to be the same. I can find a tape of my partner fucking, and that won't be the breaking point for me. For you though.

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I was only talking about me. I know, I'm saying that. But the reasons that you gave were her same reasons. It just might be a different example.

What are y'all talking about? Why do y'all keep putting my shit to her shit? No, no, no. Because of how we reacted to her shit. We're like, that's it? But that's her boundary.

I'm gonna always clown her. I don't care about what y'all are saying. Why are y'all trying to serious out us clowning Mel? We not. Then shut the fuck up. We not. We having a conversation. One and two, everybody's level of tolerance

will be different. Absolutely. I don't care if everybody's speaking about the same thing. The breaking points are going to be different. I'm laughing at Mel's breaking point. Because I, and how I view the act of sex, is very different. That's not enough

to make me turn from someone that checks all my boxes I wouldn't give a fuck if that person they fucked is standing in front of me that's what I was

laughing at with Mel that's true not to say that that shouldn't be her breaking point don't do that so speaking of breaking point

there was he didn't check off all boxes I don't care I didn't ask I didn't care okay so Ty's probably this ain't gonna work her campaign to try to win him back. I know, man. We got TGT back. I don't give a fuck what she talking about.

That might have helped us get TGT back. Yo, dog, do y'all know they recently just celebrated the 10-year anniversary of TGT? Wow. If you wanted to feel old. Don't feel like it's been 10 years, right? It does not. It doesn't. Exactly. I can't wait for that project. Yo, right? It does not. It doesn't. Exactly.

I can't wait for that project. Yeah, we getting over it. Yo, salute to y'all for getting back together. Tyrese, shout to you for doing the right thing, man. I mean, I don't know if that's the right thing. Can y'all speak to that one? What? If you're Tyrese, what do you do? Take that.

It depends on how bad I want to put this album out. And you do the splits. If I want to do it, yeah. Yeah, that's it. I think it's the right thing. It depends on how bad I want this to succeed. If this is my goal, I want to get this album out, I want to work with my brothers again,

then yeah, I'll take that. I think in a true group dynamic, it's easier to just go as close to 50-50 or thirds or whatever and ignore the reality that you should be. Yeah, exactly. You should maybe be getting more, but you got to eat that shit. I mean, hurting. I'm saying from him to say, I'll take a

small of a cut, I'm not hurting. It just avoids the headache. That's what I'm saying. It's like when Steve and I came here and was like, yo, for me to take two million less so that these people right here is cool, I'll take it. I get it. Well, congratulations.

I can't wait for the project. Shout out to those three brothers, man. I'm excited about it. Let's keep it on Super Groups. Oh, God. What's up, man? Yeah, we're here. Y'all are here. Come on, get your shit on.

Just Blaze went to his old iPod and found Glasshouse. He dropping it. He put a couple out. He put two out. They were together, right? Yeah, they were. Yeah, on album. For the people that don't know what Glasshouse is.

Slaughterhouse's final album that was unreleased, produced by Just Blaze, produced by Justice League, A-Rab, Ill Mind. I meant to call Just Blaze. Oh, you didn't talk to him? No, I didn't speak to Just Blaze. Oh, he just did that for real? Yes, he just did that shit.

Got people hitting my phone talking about, is this a rollout? No, nigga. He's right. I have never hit Just Blaze. I haven't spoke to him about it. I've never heard those versions of those records.

Only Just Blaze has those. That's not true. I got them same versions. He still don't know how I got them. That's the funny thing. He's Just Blaze. I still have the album. You have the record.

I don't see the point. I don't understand the point of him doing that. Honestly. Like if I'm going to speak honestly for a second, I don't know why he did that. I would have been totally against that. Really? Why? He used to be the king of Lincoln shit.

That's not where we are right now. That's not where you are. That's not where I am right now. I know. That's not where I am right now. No. What does that do, though. You know how many. What does that do though? You know how many times I had my lawyer reach out to squash somebody trying to put out old Joe Budden vocals.

I'm not saying that's just. But in my retirement, I'm true to form. I don't want to hear none of that old Joe Budden shit. I don't. Really? I don't. I don't want to hear none of that old Joe Budden shit. I don't. Really? I don't. I don't. If I want to hear Joe Budden in 2024, I would like it to be some new shit or just something else.

Not this old, archaic shit that wasn't coming out anyway. That didn't come out back then. Don't start putting it out now. And what type of signal do that send to the other people? You don't even know the terms that people is on. I don't like nothing

about none of that shit. Who owns that music? I don't know if anybody owns it. I don't know if it's ownable music. I'm sure Shady probably technically does

without knowing any of the contract details. I don't know if that's true. I don't even know if they own it. What do you say? We bought out. Oh, okay. And we might have bought out with true. I don't even know if they own it. What do you say... Because we bought out.

Oh, okay. And we might have bought out with our shit, with the rights to our shit. Gotcha. Let me ask you... I don't like that at all. I thought that was whack. I ain't gonna lie. What do you say to the... I'm not talking about the business side of it. What do you say to the diehard fan who... I saw people... That shit was Christmas to them.

They've heard whispers of particularly that Joel verse they've heard snippets of the second record the Keep Talking record and that was literally like oh my god we finally got we've been dying to hear something off of this album

that how long it's been what 10 years damn near yeah shit yeah 10 years since we recorded Yeah, shit, yeah, 10 years. Since we recorded. So what do you say to that person? Like you said you don't want to hear no new Joe Button shit. I'm just saying, what do you say to that fan though? I'm down to lose my relatability clause.

I don't give a fuck about that fan. Fuck that fan. I do not give a fuck about that fan. I'm just asking. Good for them. What the fuck that got to do with me? That shit should not be out. Did it age well?

Sounds good to me. That's amazing. I've been listening to it. That's TBD. Yeah, same. I've been listening to it. Same. I've had it, so.

I just don't get why he would do that. Well, he was talking about, rest in peace, Mark the 45 King. He said, I've been going through old shit with Mark passing away. I don't feel like we should be holding on to music. Where's my phone? I don't get mad.

So there's the cord. It's right behind you. Right behind you. So, I mean, I guess he was on some fucking- Liberate the music, man. Liberate the music, man. Life's too short, shit. See, I'm only with that when the artists are still living.

I don't- Well, yeah. That's what I'm saying. I'm not mad at just doing that. But when someone passes- I think a phone call needs to be made prior to- Absolutely. I think the phone rang. I don't's what I'm saying. I'm not mad at just doing that. But when someone passes, I think a phone call needs to be made prior to. Absolutely. I think the phone ringing.

No, wait a second. This nigga's stupid, yo. Yeah. Your call has been. Yeah, I bet. And Mel, your voicemail is canadian like mr rogers because some weird shit happened with your voice but do you know that no i didn't even know i had voicemail okay

when that comes on for you it's like good day mate we she's not bad about the moment oh shit, shit. I got to check that. I didn't know I had voicemail. Talking about three months, I popped off immediately. Change your voicemail then. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to talk to you guys later. I hated it.

Really? Hated it. Everything about it. Interesting. I don't blame you, though. If he would have called you first and told you. He said he would have vehemently just said, no, no don't do it take take me off take me off i don't want nobody doing anything with an old vocal of mine or with my likeness with anything just on their own uh on their own

what if you were involved in whatever uh release process there was like is there a world in which you would say, okay, let me at least pick the shit that I don't like on here and take it off? Take me off. Entirely? Yes. Damn, but I got this Lost Tape album that I've been shopping

that I'm trying to sell of yours with your old music. Good for you. Now you saying this, they ain't gonna fuck, like, you fucking up my business brand here, man. Yeah, take me off. I have a problem with that. Like, i have a problem with when you go you go so hard to fucking almost

distance yourself from a brand like y'all know how i felt when them niggas did that shit like i want nothing hey you got it big dog i'm i'm i'm cool don't come uh i think i think slaughterhouse fans have been through enough with people playing on their feelings their patience they're like enough is and let's sleep in dog's life it's over 10 years niggas ain't rapping together no more joelle and crooker rapping together i don't take another project take me and one of them beats was super hard yeah uh yeah take me off all that shit i don't like it i don't like and i don't like that just blaze did that because if just if somebody did that to a just blaze beat he would go crazy he would have he would have a fucking he would have it would be conniption time you're not wrong shit i put uh stuck in the moment stuck in the moment was

a just blaze beat he was on the phone at 6 a.m talking about yeah what's going on that same business acumen that he had hey assume that some other people got it too don't go putting no old joe button fucking lyrics nowhere nigga that shit ain't that ain't all right it's not all right i don't even like that verse jack move yeah people just think they could do what the fuck they want to do around here and then why did you do that i didn't it makes me I'm going on a rant now because y'all made me mad. Nah, that's what I want to know. Because why did you do that?

Why? I still want to know the why behind that. Like, are you trying to draw up some, like, what are you? It looks weird. I think it was some life too short. The way the other tweets were framed, it sounded like life's too short to sit on the music. But did he put anything else out? No.

He got other shit in the talk. He does. Just told me he got other shit in the tuck he does just told me he got sound uh song cry too so like you you want to put some out put that out i don't know what just angle is let me tell you one angle that i thought that's what i'm saying recent obviously you know the whole drake conversation you know and your critique of the album, a lot of what was brought up was your talent and some people's opinion of it being lack thereof. Maybe this was possibly like an angle? No. Because if you, there's an entire 20,

damn near 20 year discography out there. If you want to bring up the talent, it's right there. I get that. It's right there. I get that, but this is music that nobody's ever heard before, so. It was never heard for a reason. Whatever that reason is, I. I get that, but this is music that nobody's ever heard before. It was never heard for a reason.

Whatever that reason is, I won't get into, but I got thoughts on even that part. Yeah, no. Uh-uh. Whatever your opinion is on Joe Budden's skill set as a rapper, it's yours. Keep it. I'm not trying to coerce nobody. I'm not trying to change nobody's mind. I'm not in here trying to be in

top five conversations yeah but I'm just saying let sleeping dogs lie it's over motherfucker I would be upset if I went out of my way I didn't think about that part when you said this Joe ain't that Joe

this Joe ain't that Joe what you're basically doing is throwing me back in this pot. And this Joe doesn't need that. Not asking for it, looking for it, and nobody else. It's not a sense of validation. Nobody else should just do that

and take it upon themselves. On a much smaller level, I can relate to it. I had an artist that I did a song with a million years ago and never came out and he wanted to release it.

I said, okay, but you got to send me the shit and let me update it for today. Like, what if he spoke to somebody else do you think that's possible yo anything is possible i just don't care anything is possible i don't care at all the time when i wanted some of them songs to come out it was quiet we're going on 2024 now it's over

well at least me my y'all can do what y'all want I'm almost sure that Royce feels the same way

without speaking to him just because frequencies I don't have to speak to him to know how he feel I'm almost sure he feels like that

we gotta call Judge Blaze I need a Judge Blaze phone call any more topics you wanna get me mad about you got no luck sure he feels like that. We gotta call Just Blaze. I need a Just Blaze phone call. Any more topics? You don't get me mad about it? I don't. You thought that was some big up shit. I hated that shit.

I just don't get putting it out without speaking to nobody. Anybody out there with old Joe Button vocals, it's over, yo. It's just over. It's over. We don't need to try and reinvent the wheel. Put that over here on a new song.

If we put an old Just Blaze beat out today, forget it, man. What's up? What else we got? What Kim K did? What City Girl song? Did y'all hear Benny the Butcher's comments on people

critiquing hip hop. He was just saying, you know, enough with the critiques. People just need to just enjoy the music. No! No! Fuck what you talking about. Was he saying this in response to criticism from his last drop? No.

Just music in general. He ain't even addressing criticism of his. He was just speaking in general to fans of music and critics of music. Honestly, what's happened, yo, since that Drake album, critiques and critiques on critiques have been up. I mean, it's always been a thing, but that one was really polarizing. And then Drake's response to the critiques opened another conversation. So I think,

I really think he was speaking on that because it's been a big thing since that album that people are just, everybody got something to say and he's just like, yo, just enjoy the music.

Everything doesn't need a critique. I disagree. I completely disagree. I couldn't disagree more with him. You sound nuts. Since the beginning of time, like it or not, as artists or creators,

art has been critiqued. No matter what the format, the genre, the medium, the release format, that's kind of part of why we do shit, honestly, is good or bad,

let's see what people think about this shit. Even podcasting, that's in our form. We don't do this up here to listen to it ourselves. Otherwise, we never put it out. Correct, that's true. Yo, once y'all put it out, it don't belong to you no more, yo.

That's it. Artists, when you put the album out, it belongs to us now. It belongs to the fans and the consumers of music. It's for them to do whatever the fuck they feel like doing to the music. See, that's kind of how I feel as a paying customer.

Hey, if I bought this, I can critique it. If I went to go see this movie, I bought a ticket. If I love the movie, I can talk about it. If I don't, if I hate the movie, I have that exact same right to say, hey, I hate this movie. I don't know why today's rappers

have made a movie. That's the other thing they say, oh, people hate this movie. I don't know why today's rappers- I don't have to have made a movie. Why are they trying to move the goalposts? That's the other thing. They say, oh, people are critiquing things that you've never made. So what? So what? I don't have to make it. I know what I like and what I don't like.

Yeah. That's it. It's called being a connoisseur. Not just that. It's called being a consumer. Niggas don't condemn the praise. Right. That's the thing.

Like, yo, you don't condemn the praise. If you got a million niggas praising your shit you don't say yo don't praise my shit just enjoy it you know what I mean keep it to yourself so when people are giving you accolades

and praise for your for your art which you know it's your art it's dope I hope you but artists create art to give to the world

correct so when you give it to the world the entire world may or may not like your shit that's just the truth of the matter

and if I bought your shit like they tell us nigga i paid for patreon nigga i could say whatever the fuck i want you can't say nothing to that it's a reason that there's a forum for people to leave comments you can't say nothing to that whether you agree with them or you disagree with them it's the same thing with art you don't say shit when a million niggas get on the thing and say your shit slaps this is the best project since whatever whatever whatever you don't say shit when a million niggas get on a thing and say, yo, your shit slaps. This is the best project since. Whatever, whatever, whatever. You don't say nothing. So when that same fan critiques your shit, you gotta shut up. That's my opinion.

I agree. I agree. If you don't want your shit to be critiqued, don't put it out. Keep it. That's it. You mad, yo. I'm tight. Knock it down. I'm gonna take a break. I'm going to sit outside. All right. Got to play some shit to feel better now since Parks got me all pissed off.

Sorry, I'm sorry. No, it's fucking too late now. Fuck out of here. Do it for the old folks. Oh! Oh! Oh! I was down south. What do you want me to do? No, you're right. I was down south. I you want me to do?

I was down south, I didn't know this was my auntie's jam. They go crazy when they hear this. I slept. I slept. They go crazy. I know this is one of them things, but it's different when you... Hey! Hey!

Hey! This bullshit is hot when all your family is dancing to it. Hey! This bullshit is hot when all your family is dancing to it. What you say, Ish? What you say? I was talking to a fella. I know, we on the podcast. Yeah, but it's Mike. You fade to talk.

Mike in front of you. What you say? I think that he might have implied that it's nice when the thickies, you know, put that one on too. Yeah, there it's Mike. You pay to talk. Mike in front of you. What'd you say? I think that he might have implied that it's nice when the thickies put that one on, too. Yeah. Thank you. Hey. Wobble, too. Well, the thickies were my cousins.

What do you say? Of course they were. I couldn't. I said, or. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but you was down south, though, so. Yeah. What Flip said.

That was fucked up. That was fucked up. Flip is on sick, too. Don't do that to Flip. Don't try to put Flip in no mess. Shout was fucked up. Flip is on sick too. Don't do that to Flip. Don't try to put Flip in no mess. Shout out to Flip.

Hey! That little hip, that little hip start bopping. Mel, you old enough to get jiggy to that. I don't know why you sitting there still. You don't know that song?

Why you squirting your face off? I do know that song. Line dancing's really not my thing. I don't know why you sitting there still. You don't know that song? Why are you scratching your face off? I do know that song. Line dancing's really not my thing. We didn't say nothing about line dancing. Word. It is a form of. Thank you. Wait, what's a form of?

The wobble baby. The wobble baby. That's a line dance? Yeah. Electric slide. Electric slide, cha-cha. That's a line dance? Yeah.

You're not a line dancer? No, it's not really my thing. She can't. Really? She can't what? Canada. Canada. She's Canadian. Really? She can't what? Canada. Oh, she's Canadian. What are you talking about?

Oh, we can see that lack of rhythm. Lowry's down there. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Get in your. That's true. If Mel can't get jiggy when this come on, then I'm about to say something that the comments be saying.

Nah, Mel, hold up. They playing with you now. The haters blow in the face like guns up. Show them how it's done, man. Wait, this? She's unmoved. This what she doing? Mel ain't twisted a hip or none of that.

Popped a foot. That's nothing. You doing Pilates for what if you can't get up and do a little? I could dance on it. I don't two-step. Y'all looking at something like a shoe. Dog, I danced last episode.

What are you talking about? I always get up and dance. Oh, I wasn't here for that. I missed that. That was trash. That was trash. That was trash, man. That was trash.

All right. They're pulling Dwight Howard out the closet again. Oh, man. Come on, let's get to it. Shocker. They're pulling Dwight Howard out of the closet. Dwight Howard has revealed that he did, in fact, meet up with the gentleman from Instagram

who told us that he met up with Dwight Howard from an Instagram DM. Dwight Howard is confirming that he did meet said gentleman, but he's saying none of the sexual acts that were described transpired. All right. Okay. We can know how that is sometimes when you meet him in person. Yeah.

Keep going. It's not hitting what you thought it was going to be hitting for. You know what I mean? You got cat. You got. Dude fish. Fish fish. You got dude fish.

You got dude fish. Cock fish. Yeah fish Cock fish Cock fish Alright I see what you did there Yeah like What are you talking about Dwight I'm not meeting some strange guy Off of the gram

For what Coffee You all gonna share a beer I was gonna share something else You got it bro No this is Instagram for what? Coffee. Y'all going to share a beer? I was going to share something else. You got it, bro. No, this is, it's resulted in, I think, Dwight facing some charges. Oh.

Yeah. For what? Well, per the exclusive, Dwight Howard is accused of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. Oh, you... So I feel like... I don't know if you can say that. I'm not sure that you can do that. Not when dude is a victim. Oh, you're doing the victim thing again, you do.

Oh, shit. You don't fuck with victims. Oh, hiccup narrative guy. You don't fuck with victims. Hiccup narrative guy. Hiccup narrative guy. Don't touch it. You spun Hiccup narrative guy. Yeah, hiccup narrative guy. Don't start this. He spun that.

You spun that one fast. Hey, we're right by the rim. Yo, pause. I see him at the pause. Maybe. Yeah. Yo, oh, man. Yeah.

I think that him admitting this is him trying to get in front of it because these accusations are being made. Yo. Sorry. I don't know. Or behind it. Or behind it. Or put it behind him. Put it behind him.

Yeah, but definitely trying to get in front of the accusation and let it be known that this was consensual. Wobble, baby, wobble. You see his big ass? He wasn't wobbling, look at him. You see his big ass up there like this. Hey. What if this came on when Dwight invited dude up in there?

Wait a minute. Wobble, baby. Wobble, baby. Man, you're so trash. What? I think it's so trash that you ain't give us a little two-step to this. I do. I'm judging you for it.

You don't know how to do this dance? I'm judging. But we didn't ask for that dance. We asked for a little old mama two-step. Nah, shit. Why I'm judging you for it. You don't know how to do this dance? I'm judging. But we didn't ask for that dance. We asked for a little old mama two-step. Nah, shit wack if you don't know how to do the dance, man. I feel very put on the spot right now.

That's cool. I have gotten up and danced too. Hmm? Respect. You ain't do it to that. But I mean, it's cool. I didn't. It's not.

How do y'all feel about people trying to constantly pull Dwight Howard out the closet? I think it's fucked up. I'm going to laugh, but it is fucked up. It does seem fucked up. It is fucked up.

You can't out him, especially at seven foot one, half a tall he is. You can't out the guy. Well, I'm not. Why can't you out people? My thing is this. I think that,

no, no, no. That's his business. I think that when you kind of put yourself in those positions or predicaments, no pun intended, you kind of take it. That was a pun intended. It wasn't. Yes, it was. It was not. Big pun.

You got to go back to school. No, I'm just saying, like, I don't think it's necessarily outing him. The person is outing their business. No, he outing him. He outing him. That's outing him. Yeah. No, he ain't outing him. He outing him. That's outing him. Yeah. We don't know for sure, but

if it's not Dwight Howard and it's just random dude across the street, do you think he... So that's why it's outing him. True. I stand corrected. It seems fine. And it's outing him because if I fucked you and nobody knows that I fucked guys and you're the one that tells people, hey, he's fucking guys, that's outing. Yeah.

I said I stand corrected. Let me ask you guys a question. Shoot. Hi. The fact that I'm sitting around such evolved men, maybe this will not apply. Knock it off. Knock it off, mama. Okay, try to think like every man.

Does your perception of your sports heroes change should you find out that they're gay? No. No. Okay. Okay. Okay. I don't care about that. No, get out, yo.

You tried it. No. You tried, yo. You tried it. No! You did try it. What if we just say yes? Then what? Then we're looked at like utter idiots and fools by our viewing audience. And then that's you putting us

not in the best position to win. But if somebody wasn't smart enough to have the right answer. No, but I don't think that that's out of the realm of possibility for a lot of men. I think that a lot of men would regard their heroes if they found out that they were homosexual or participated in homosexuality. I think you're wrong. This is one of my favorite things to do after watching Dateline is watch the old 80s and 90s NBA players and figure out who's gay and wasn't telling have you come to a conclusion about some I can do your list but that would be outing people okay I give you a whole list of people that

100% were hiding the fact that they were gay in the league but that is outing you know what we care about what I was specifically our sports heroes you know are they winning us championships mm-hmm when they got when they're on our favorite team are y'all getting the job done? Hey, look how you just connected that for a Knicks fan. Want me to tell you about what a lot of people were screaming at Charles Smith when he missed those playoffs? Oh, shit.

Because I can tell you, it wasn't all basketball related. Okay, so question. Okay, so question. So then why... Charles Smith. So then why do athletes hide it? Melissa Ford, what are you trying to do right now? You... Why does athletes hide it? Melissa Ford, what are you trying to do right now? Why does anybody hide it? Why do people hide it, Melissa Ford?

I think that there's a perception of hyper-masculinity as it relates to sports in particular. I think it would also get awkward, potentially, if you are in a locker room changing in such. It's probably not a comfortable situation. But when you're at the gym and you're changing in the locker room changing in such, it's probably not a comfortable situation. But when you're at the gym and you're changing in the locker room, what's the difference? You don't know who the fuck, you know? Melissa Ford, you gotta be good.

Come on, yo. Come on. Come on, yo. Don't make me be the one to say it. Are you serious right now? It's an education for a woman. Do it later. I'm good.

Oh, I thought you were just going to tell me to it later. I'm good. Oh, I thought you were going to tell me to do it. I'm good. Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine. Salute. Fine. There you go. What is the difference between straight men in a locker room changing in front of each other? No.

A locker room where you don't know what somebody's sexual preferences are. If y'all want to have we can have you can have it you can't tell the difference in Oh! All the shorties in the club Let me see your chest Back it up You can't tell the difference in how a man would behave in a locker room not knowing the sexual preference of anyone in there versus how they would act and feel if they knew that somebody in there were homosexual. That gay guy that they did the whole Netflix doc on, he got to leave. What did he go to? Penn State? I forgot his name. Was his name Sam or something?

Sam something. He had a job for all of four days. There was another football player, actually. The Raiders. I thought it was the Rams he went to. I think the one you're talking about went to the Rams. Rams. Oh, then Sam went to the Rams.

Rams are the Chargers. But there was another one. There's another one, too. Yeah, there's another one. Yeah, he's a linebacker, I want to say. Yeah, and he held that job for five and a half weeks. I'm exaggerating

or playing with the numbers, but this could affect not only your livelihood, but your profession. But if you guys as fans don't care, why should their teammates care? Because us as fans, we only look at, we don't have to.

And fans do care. We answer that question that way. From our perspective. But many fans. That's true. And that's what I was asking. They care and they get people scream obscenities at them and just really foul. Whatever foul there is to scream at somebody as an athlete, they've heard it.

Yeah, true. Carl Nasset. Carl Nasset. If you could protect yourself from somebody, I would. True. I remember going to, Allen Iverson was in college.

I remember going to Georgetown games and they're like, you fucking jailbird. Go back to prison, you fuck. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, people will say anything.

A thing just came out. Weaponized. Right, two weeks ago, some texas players i think were in auburn and they were dancing because they was whipping the ass and they was telling them yo go back to the projects the fans are yelling go back to the projects go back to the fucking projects so anything that somebody can use to um insult you or to hurt you from the opposing team. What the Boston Celtics used to be saying in the old Boston Garden was worse than that. So you would hide that, again, for your own sanity, maybe. Listen, look no further than right here.

I got on the internet playing around one day, and now every time there's a blog post about me and the people want to say something hateful they go right there you gay ass don't he play for the other team don't he like dick in it they get crazy over there that is true they just saying shit to try to be hurtful

yeah I could see how that would not be the best experience but Dwight Howard you can't invite these niggas over while your kid is sleeping in the other room on the late night and leave a paper trail. You just can't. You got to go about sucking dick in a different. That is not how you.

That's not how you suck dick privately is what I'm saying. And actually, I don't know how to suck dick private. All right. It's just a wild. Oh, so you only know how to do it publicly. Just a wild conversation to have only know How to do it publicly Oh shit Just a wild conversation To have Prayers to all

Prayers Prayers to all And stop sneaking around Seven feet gay Seven feet gay Is different That ain't the same gay That's rarefied air

Up there And Cause you get on your knees and be at somebody's neck still. Yo. Hey, bro. What, you can't get on his knees and be eye-level with nothing?

You got to get on all fours to do it. Now you a dog. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. The visuals are crazy. I'm sorry. You know a nigga's favorite position? You stand up, you bring Shorty to the edge of the bed.

Oh? Huh? Oh? Yes. Brian McKnight changed his name. To the name of his newborn. Brian McKnight changed his name. To the name of his newborn. Brian McKnight, then? Kind of.

It got some middle words in the middle. Listen, he tried to get those kids that he didn't want, that he don't want to change their name. Right. Because he didn't want his name to have nothing to do with them. They want to hold on to the name and trash the nigga. That's their right. But the only way around that

is for me to change my name to distance myself from you fucking kids that I had with the family that I don't want today. Holy shit. That's dedication. That's the petty king right there. Oh, I went and found out about some of that in my family.

What? Oh, man. as dedication that's the petty king right oh I went and found out about somebody had in my family and what I'm here it's not about my family but just from some of the families that was common back in the day no no no not talking about the side kid but but to deny that kid. I'm talking about to not even acknowledge that that kid is a thing. Yeah, that's true. Niggas was foul back in the day. You little internet keyboard warriors. Wouldn't have seen a chance.

Y'all wouldn't have gotten none of this. Nah. Y'all wouldn't understand it. They wouldn't. They just denied it all. The whole kid. Kid be grown. Nope.

Nope. Looked just like you. Same face. Looked just like you. Nah be grown. Nope. Look just like you. Look just like you. Same face. Look just like you. Never seen him. Nope. And I'm trying to get out of these arrears that they're talking about. They're talking about back pay, retroactive arrears.

Stupid, yo. They crack my father head open, boy, with that one. I was too young to understand it with my little brother. Really? Yeah, man. Add it up. Go ahead, add it Really? Add it up. Add it up and pay it up. No way around it.

I just opened my file the other day to see when my child support stopped. It's coming. When it stopped? May. May. Should have stopped already. Nah, he went to college. He dropped out? I know, but I didn't call and report it. I ain't snitching my baby There you go

I made a 23-year-old. These kids grow up and become shit. Yeah. Become their own person. Yeah, with thoughts and ideas about things. Yeah, go Brian McKnight, man. Get away from the shit. Brian McKnight.

We ain't coming here to really talk about Kirk Franklin's dad. Y'all never came here to talk about the Savior Complex. We got a few things that we just never got to. I'll do the Kirk Franklin dad thing later. I want to go, because that was deep. That was deep. What else? What else what else what i'm gonna ask y'all um oh speaking of kids oh speaking of kids uh it was a big thing because michael irvin went on tv and ratted out his kid yeah michael irvin's son is a rapper i don't know his name something took took something find his name so we got you give him some credit here michael irvin's son is a

rapper michael irvin went on is a rapper michael irvin went on tv saying i don't know what my son is rapping about in them songs he come from he come from a nice home and a gated community tut tut tarantino tut tarantino uh i i heard some clips of him dude is going he sounds good but he certainly is not rapping like I was a star wide receivers. Like I was a multi multi-millionaire son that came from privilege and probably went to some of the best schools in the country. And you know what? I don't like that came from privilege thing. I don't.

And they mentioned it now with this story. Because you come from privilege don't mean that you can opt to that. It depends on the subject matter of your shit. This guy could have ran off and just opted to live a different life away from all this providing that Michael Irvin was doing. One. Two, we don't know the status of their relationship. We don't know how much about this young man Michael Irvin even knows about. He was on TV sounding shocked at this. Yeah, insert Michael Irvin saying, no, nigga, when you turned 15, you had a Benz from my pocket.

You didn't sell no Skag to get it. You wasn't busting your gun. You wasn't coming from the bottom, got it from the mud. No, nigga, that was my mud on my jersey that got you all that shit. Even if that's true, why is he going on television to say that?

Because it makes you as a parent now from your peer group look like, damn, your son is on... Nigga, if you had a daughter... Give me an example

of what you're saying. I'm about to change it. You're on your 900th example of the episode. So what? Give it to me. If you had a kid and your kid is now talking about they had all of these hard life conditions that you bust your ass to not have them go through, it's almost insulting.

Yeah. You get what I'm saying? I would agree with that. You also want hate on your kid if he's getting his shit off. I don't agree with that. You don't think that's insulting to you as a parent? It's insulting if the kid is running around with this in his regular speech and just talking and

telling people what is she saying. Once it's in the music, it is art. It is art. So my son is trying to do whatever he gotta do to get his art popping and he could be lying. Most of these rappers lie. Why are you gonna come and uncover the lie

before I even get my foot in the door? But niggas are saying R for sex life. Ain't nobody even know I was your kid. Maybe I wasn't going to tell nobody

I was your son. Maybe I was trying to go about... Hey, Coily Ray said, yo, any relation to my dad kind of hindered me early on. I was trying to carve my own way.

Shit, my son came up here and said, yo, I'm trying to carve my own way. The kids be wanting to carve their own way. Say what Denzel's son, he changed his whole, I'm trying to carve my own way. The kids be wanting to carve their own way. Say what Denzel's son, he changed his whole name.

Exactly. Yeah, I don't agree with Michael Irvin doing that. I don't. Even though he's right in his message. I don't agree with you blowing the spot on your kid.

It depends on- Your kid got a shot. He sounds good. I think it depends on the subject matter of your songs. And you ain't no regular fucking dad.

You on TV. You're on TV saying to millions of people, hey, he's lying. That ain't it. Can we hear a clip?

I'll pull up something. Because I think that's the most important piece on whether I'm going to agree with you or not. Why?

He's lying. Why? He's lying in the clip. Don't be talking about your soul no drugs. Don't be talking about you had

this hard life. I bust my ass for you to not to have the hard life. I bust my ass for you to not to have the hard life. And you also gotta think about it what generation Michael Irving comes from where rap lyrics

reflected an accurate reality. That's what they say. Whereas nowadays it doesn't. Nowadays it doesn't happen. And you ain't see it from your window. Here's a little whip work from 2021.

Do it. Do it, single out here. can't wait that's why i'll be lying when i'll be saying a really paid i've been getting money since way back when i was a seventh grade serving i was trying to run me up some pants i was trying to add up my told me he got a little stain on his career have you heard have you heard enough he's saying i'm crazy he just said he said he was selling grams but but he could have. He could have been selling grams. Yeah, he could have. At private school. Definitely. Nigga, you saw power? Mm-hmm.

That's what the region was doing. Whip your fucking ass, nigga. Dog, you don't have a regular dad. Your dad is on the airwaves saying this shit. And what bothers me about it, not exactly my business. So you care more about the father saying he lying

than the son saying I was selling grams? Yes. You fucking crazy. Nigga, that's a reflection on you saying you selling grams is a reflection on me. What if he sold grams?

Ish. It's still a reflection on me? Ish, let me tell you. What if he sold grams and that's his story? Your opinion to me is some 60s, 70s dad type shit. Cool.

It is. That's fine. As somebody that was a kid rapping, I was lying in my raps. All the rappers lie in their raps. OK. That was my right. They don't really clap to it. That's my right.

True. That's my artistic freedom of speech right to lie in my music true as a way to create not only uh an alter identity for myself but create the path for myself that i want to make true he should be able to do those things without his famous best one of the best wide receiver ever head-ass dad blowing up the spot. Does he get to do that at your expense? Huh? Does he get to tell those lies at your expense?

Y'all say that? The answer is yes. He does get to tell those lies at his expense, one. And two, how many people knew that this kid was Michael Irvin's son before Michael Irvin went on and said his rap name? Answer my question, please. I don't know. Yes.

I can't answer any. A lot less than when he announced it. Correct. Right? So now you putting that light on your son for people, for discovery. Correct. You are enabling discovery. It's possible.

Correct. So either you want it or you don't. Why wouldn't you enable the discovery button to help not to hinder your kid? But we could agree to disagree because I'm viewing it different. The same way you saying him artistically gets to lie. The parent can get up there and say, yo, he lying. Fuck you talking about? It's the same thing. You have a right to lie and i have a right

to say you lying but you're not what you're not working hand and you you can't do that you doing that is not you working hand in hand to help your child pursue their dreams cool that you you doing that is self-serving as a parent and you you doing that as a parent to protect nothing but you first of all if you was that if you was that worried about the shit, if you—no, no, I'm going to take it back. If you're that much of an upstanding dad, then these lies ain't about to penetrate or do no real damage to nothing. Your kid is lying. Niggas know that you've been rich his whole life. Niggas got to use context clues.

Let your kid get their shit off in hip-hop. The only reason why I'm not as I was on your side For a minute But Like you said Nobody knew this

Was his son It ain't like I'm sitting here saying My parents wasn't shit I did this that Like you didn't do None of that From what I heard

I mean I'm pretty sure He has other music That wasn't that bad That wasn't that bad That wasn't that bad Outside Like he said I sold grams He could have went to The best private school't that bad. Like he said, I sold grams. He could have

went to the best private school on the planet and sold a couple grams. And sold grams. He could have done that, bro. Everything else he said, I had money since this age. I've been doing this. All that's true, probably. All could be true. I'm not mad at any of that. Again, contingent upon the subject matter of the raps, I stand

on one side of the fence or the other. Depending on what the boy is discussing and what he's talking about, as a parent, you don't want your kid sitting up, it's a reflection on you. What are we talking about?

Hey, we saw Beans had the verse on Where Have You Been off of the Dynasty album. One of probably best verses ever to me. Easily one of his best verses. That's what you're talking about

the food stamps was white? Yeah. His relationship with his dad. His money daddy was white and his dad had a problem with that and actually they ended up having a kid like yo it wasn't as bad as you made it seem to be now that could be the way he took it but i'm just saying your your version or your story you are allowed to say now if somebody with with um michael irving's, we don't even know that that's your son, so I'm not shitting on my dad. I feel issues, parentate. Listen, my mom, when she heard some of my verses early on, she had the same reaction, which was, why are you talking like you came from some poor shit? Nigga, you say that now.

You say your mother says that now. Today, you 40 years old like nigga don't be acting like we was just thugging it nigga you went to some good schools you live in some good neighborhoods no ish i totally understand your point i receive your point all i'm i just think that how you feel as a parent has to take a back seat sometimes to how you to the dream that your child wants to pursue and how they go about doing it. Like sometimes that ain't the time for them to fucking come out and sing your story or talk about you the best or do anything that's comforting to you. It's my turn now.

You had a whole life of fame and your job don't require you to say nothing about rap. True. and your job don't require you to say nothing about rap. True. Your job does not require you to get on national television and start talking about your old ass perception of hip hop. Now let's advance it though. Do you think that this is bad? Do you think him going on there and saying that shit is bad for his son's career? Because I don't know what it is.

I don't know that it will be bad because after the initial response a lot of people on the internet came to the son's defense uh hey dog that was fucked up and you maybe you may not be as close listening to you on tv maybe you're not as close to your son as you think you are and maybe there's some things you don't know about yeah hey i don't like all of these things could be. I don't think it's bad like that because one, that record wasn't bad. Yeah, he got talent. He sounded like he got talent.

That record wasn't bad. Sound like he might have made something of himself. We know a lot of these niggas is lying. People don't care about the lie as much as today as they did years ago.

So if you could put some slaps out, that other shit don't really matter too much today. You made your fucking millions already, dad. You're still making them. Good, but you're cemented. My lie for me is more valuable

than your truth. You got it already. Move out the fucking way now. Move. Don't talk about me. So let me ask you a question. Just, just, just, we could,

right after this, we could progress the conversation. So, Michael Irvin is still taking on ad deals, taking on jobs, taking on whatever. So now when you go in somebody's office and they start asking you about your quote-unquote drug dealer son or your quote-unquote gangster son that's doing all these things and saying all these things in these raps, now when they present that to you, we forget that Michael Irvin is a black man in America.

Now what do you say to that? Don't nobody want to have those conversations. And that's where you lost me. Only because nobody brings that argument up. He never said nothing. And Michael Irvin is not the black man walking in offices that needs to be explained to people. Michael Irvin is Michael Irvin. The jobs that he get, he get it on the work that he has done.

He ain't getting it off nothing he got to say in the office. If they ain't in the office, he walking with people who don't know who he is. This don't apply to him. We're not talking about that. We're talking about how your son was reared. You just said if my... That's not coming up to Michael Irvin in no office. I disagree.

All right, we can move forward. We can agree to disagree. Yeah, I don't think it is. It ain't. All right. Michael Irvin is too accomplished for him to not get a job because of his son's rap no no i'm not buying it or lose one yeah i'm not i'm not today i'm not rolling with that one um but salute and good luck good luck good luck to his son y'all know what it is in hip-hop where you know you cut try to come across as you come from a certain background. Of course. And then we

find out that you didn't. That could be career ending. That's really why I have the take that I have. Like, he sounds talented so he'll be fine, but what if he wasn't? Like, what if you just stepped on some shit early? So you don't think, stay there. I am.

Now to your point. So you don't think if this boy's career took off it was not going to be discovered that he's Michael Irvin's son yes of course it would cool so now also that's going to now bring in was you really getting it like you said you was getting it the question you're basically saying that the questions would be inevitable you just said yo dog the authenticity your career could be over based on your lack of authenticity. So now once as you grow up in this career and you skyrocket, Michael Irvin's son is climbing up the charts. Pretending that issue's right,

in the event that it is inevitable, do it when I'm established. Let those questions come up after I've gained a core audience and a fan base. Don't do it when nobody in the world knows who the fuck I am and I'm just trying to find my footing. That's crazy to me. That's fair.

Yeah, I get that. Uh-oh, don't look now, you guys. I see some gender war stuff going on. And I just want to let y'all know that they tearing me up in the street. They are holding me responsible in the J.B.T.V. X Sunday talks for how often we do gender wars, how they feel about the gender war shit. Listen, they called me to carpet. I listen. Y'all have never heard Joe Budden introduce a topic specifically to gender war. That's not my thing. But we get passionate up here sometimes. And we have a list.

A list to do it. Come on. A list to do it. A list will always make you argue. We got a list. So what's the list? Come on. What list is it?

Hey, hey, you've never heard this one before. There is a list. Of what? Of places women absolutely refuse to go to on a first date. And I'm gathering that little Duvall is the one who created this list because it's on his page. We know that. No, no, no. Just read the list.

No, no. Hold on. Let me just preface it by saying this. And thank you to the ladies who reached out to me to help me make this list. And with it being on his page, that was the connection I made. That cleans it up. That's the only reason. But I don't know if it was him.

That being said, Cheesecake Factory is number one on the list. I'm just going to run through them. Applebee's, Chili's, Chipotle. Slow down. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down. Applebee's has been a date. Let's slow down.

Cheesecake Factory has been a date. Cheesecake's been a date. They're saying first date. You can't go on a first date to these places. I've been to Cheesecake on a first date. I've been to Cheesecake's been a date. They're saying first date. You can't go on a first date to these places. I've been a cheesecake on a first date. I've been a cheesecake on a first date. Keep going. Okay.

What is this social media generation? Two young fuzz to talk about. We'll just do it. We're going to do it anyway. Applebee's. Chili's. Chipotle. Olive Garden.

Really? The movies. The movies is a date. Come on, fam. The movies is not a first date spot. Your house. Yes, it is. No, it's not. I agree with Joe. The movies is not a first date. You can't talk. You can't get to know the person. Second date, third date, yes. First date, no.

Now, you say, dinner and a movie, yeah, maybe, but a movie? The movie should not be your first date. The movie could be your first date today. But one of our go-to's. Yeah, today, maybe. One of our go-to's on there. Absolutely, today should be your first date. One of our go-to's on there? one of our go-tos. Yeah, today maybe. One of our go-tos is on there. It could be your first date. One of our go-tos is on there? Oh, then they're wrong.

I know. All right, but keep going. Your house. That's also a date. It's not a good first date. It's not a good first date at all. That's not a good first date at all. It's frightening.

If it's not a good date, then you need to go to HomeGoods and get your house together. No, that ain't a good date. No, meaning your house. The guy's house. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

That's what I'm saying. That's been a first date before. Successful. That's the first date The guy's house. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's been a first date before. Successful. That's the first date most of the time. Nah. Really? It was. Hell no.

It was. Not today, but it was. Hell no. That has been a successful first date. Oh, that is a hard fucking pass. We got it, Judge Judy. Keep going. Okay.

Any fast food chain. Duh. Buffalo Wild Wings. Wing Stop. Red Lobster. A buffet. Look at the lion. IHOP. Denny's. The gym. Buffalo Wild Wings Wingstop Red Lobster A Buffet IHOP Denny's

The Gym That's weird Church Okay this is just somebody Trying to get like social media Church? Come on Yeah

Family Functions Somewhere that requires A long drive Bowling Bowling is a first date Bowling is absolutely A first date What are you talking about?

Bowling and pool Maybe the best Bowling pool comedy show Are the. What are you talking about? Bowling and pool. Bowling, pool, comedy show are the three best first date spots for me. Hookah bar. Hookah bar. What? All right, you got it. They tripping. They just trying to trigger us.

And I disagree with the long drive shit. That shit is smooth. Smooth. Don't let her love a road trip. That's fire. Fire. On a first date? A bar for just drinks. I'm like, wait, what? That's the first date. That's first date shit. That's fire. I agree. On a first date? A bar for just drinks.

I'm like, wait, what? The first date. That's first date shit. Great first date. Sporting events. Yeah, that's not my thing.

Again, for me, and let's put an asterisk next to sporting events. I'm going to tell you why, but I know why most of this shit is on the list.

Again, this is the social media generation. You can't get no fire IG pick off at any of those. That's what that shit is about. Because you're listing a bunch of restaurants, but you're not listing... Say less.

None of that type of shit. Where they want to go to get their picture off. That's all it says. You get some fire pictures of the bulletin. And if you had courtside seats, she's fine with that as a first date. That is true. That's why it's that as a first date. That is true. That's why it's an asterisk there. That is very, very true.

That's what this is. Well, depending on the seat she was on in the plane. I have DVDs for sale as soon as you exit. Stay right on the line. Some of my greatest bits are indeed available on that DVD, even some of tonight's. 34B. Okay, so church.

I thought that was like. That's a bad date. That's a. In what world is that ever? How is bowling a bad date? Oh, he triggered. How is hookah? No, no, no.

How is hookah a bad date? Like some of the stuff that they're saying is stupid. Those are places that you go, you sit down, you converse. Because bowling and hookah are cheap. Yeah, like a lot of shit was money based. I'm telling you what this is. And to be keeping a buck, we are in a privileged state where we can afford better shit than Cheesecake Factory, Applebee's, whatever the case may be. But when you start going to other states, nigga, that's norm.

That's what they got. Yeah, no, I'm booking me a reservation. I just found out they got Maestro's in the city. I did not know that. What's Maestro's? You didn't know they had Maestro's in the city? Maestro's in New York? What's Maestro's?

You serious? It's a steakhouse. I only go out there. It's at like 51st and 6th Avenue? Should have been there. Say less. Get it? No, I'm booking me.

There's a few really nice New York restaurants. A ton that just the rappers don't talk about. Hundreds. Check with me. These rappers don't know how to eat good. The rappers are waiting to be told the hot spot, so they can go to the hot spot and tell everybody else about the hot spot. They're waiting for their A&R to pull out the little credit card for the label

and get some Mr. Childs or some shit, some old school shit. Once the industry find out about something, they can't eat nowhere else for the label and get some Mr. Chow's and some shit. Some old school shit. Once the industry find out about something, they can't eat nowhere else for the next 30 years. Exactly. Until another new hot spot come in.

Until another new hot spot. Yeah. Big Mel, Mr. Chow's fixture. Mm-hmm. Did you see the doc, Doc God? Oh, Mr. Chow?

this episode. Meet up, nigga. Oh, man. They read a couple comments and now you trying to be kind. That's definitely not it nigga they investigate they be

shut up yo nine months nigga so I want to ask y'all a question sure nope yeah I'm asking anyway it's more of a business question so

you know Caffeine and URL was doing the battles over there I noticed that there's a battle coming up on caffeine, but it's not URL. Okay. It's a jazz and twerk. So I want to get your thoughts on what it looked like, especially ish,

what it looks like. Caffeine actually bringing in the battle rap community and now doing their own battles. Using URL to bring them in, but now using their own battles. Like making their own battles without them. It looks smart. You think that's smart? What are you supposed to do?

No, it is smart. It's definitely smart. You disagree? You think it's shady? I think it's shady. I mean, the two could be, they could both be equally true. Be true at the same time.

Yeah, yeah. Here come moral, man. No, it's shady I mean the two could be they could both be equally true yeah yeah here come moral man no it's like saying yo it's like saying Spotify got Joe Button's whole entire population of fan base

to come over to Spotify and now we drop Spotify but we keep the fan base I mean now we drop Joe Button but we keep the fan base it's what everybody is doing there's no there's no

yeah the two could be on the same boat but it's it could the two could be on the same boat. It could be smart and shady at the same time. You use, I mean, you use URL

to bring the people over and bring the fan base over and now we learn whatever we learn. Now we're going to have our own battles being brought to you by That's the part that I want

to highlight for people. That part right there that you just said. Because it's a misconception. It's a misconception out there that you just said because it's it's a misconception out it's a misconception out there that when person or company is paid a large large lump sum like smack was paid from caffeine it's it's a total it's total bs that you think they're paid for services rendered it's not.

They pay for information. No, that's it. Audience. Information. But you get that. But the services rendered that you're negotiating so hard for, that is not what this big check is for.

The big check is for us to see how you're doing it. Learn it. Yeah, learn it. Hell, we might even bring some of y'all to work over here. I've seen that happen quite a few times see if we can sustain it

and do the same and implement it so that's what I was going to ask we only paying you to show us how to do it we don't plan on paying you for too long

but we should be able to do this without you after a year and a half cool so here so why I don't think

it's shady at all shout out to Caffrey you know but um you're begging no I'm not begging Cool. So why I don't think it's shady at all. Shots of caffeine, you know. You're begging. No, I'm not begging. I'm already over there. You can still beg if you dare. I have to beg.

Unless you don't want no more money from places that you are already on. It's not begging. It's not begging. Tapping. Can I speak, sir? Can I speak, my nigga? Shucking. Never. Never.

Stick up for the man. Stick up for the man. Hey, caffeine. Hey, shuck. Hey, listen. But anyway, if we have a deal and I have been made whole through my deal. I got everything I wanted in my deal. If the company decides, hey dog,

like we ended on a good note. Like you got, we did what we said we were going to do. You perform the way you said we want to perform. We don't want to continue this going forward. But we did learn some shit that we could do it on our own. Where's the shadiness? Because you did get what you were supposed to get.

I think it's only shady if somebody got snaked I don't like to talk about shady with Ish because he always comes from like the moral side no but that's ain't that how we define

shady shit shady is based on morality I don't think it's shady I think that it could it could be it could be manipulative it could be um opportunistic it could be a bunch of other things that don't necessarily mean that somebody did something

wrong you could still be um again if i bring parks in as my engineer and i'm over his back watching what the fuck he doing and i'm learning this shit from parks to the point where i no longer need parks that might have been my goal all along but i let parks want to believe that we was what the fuck he doing and I'm learning this shit from Parks to the point where I no longer need Parks. That might have been my goal all along. But I let Parks on to believe that we was building a long-standing relationship

that was going to stand the test of time. But that wasn't... What if you didn't lead me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what you... Yeah. I'm just saying.

I don't know. It depends on how you look at it. But you're saying what? What answer? What if you didn't lead him? Yeah, what if I told... What if I told... You hired him from a service, you watched him do it, you learned how to do it and now you look at it. What if you didn't lead him? What if I told him? Hired him from a service. You watched him do it.

You learned how to do it. And now you're doing it. And now he's done. I hired you, Parks, for three years. And I paid you for three years. Then my debt is done. I don't owe you shit. I don't owe you nothing.

But in that three years, I learned how to do this myself. I understand. Now, all of us took a stance. So when this situation now presents itself in the future months, I want all of y'all to keep steady fast

at this stance. You do that a lot too and I disagree with it. But it's true. It is true. It's depending on who the players are in the game, what stance we take

on certain situations. And they shouldn't waver. If this is your stance on a specific topic, I don't give a fuck if this person or this person or this person did it. That should is your stance on a specific topic, I don't give a fuck if this person or this person or this person did it.

That should be your stance on the topic. I disagree. I think it clearly depends on the circumstances. That's my point. I know y'all do. But not the people.

No, the circumstances. The people matter too. In your example, it was we change opinions with people. I reserve the right to change opinions due to the circumstances,

not the people. Sure. Got you. So let me ask you a question. No, it's an off-mic question. What? Hey, what's up, man? What's up?

This is a new recording, man. I can dig it. Hey. All right. I'm introduced in a new segment to the show called What's Going On, Man. Cut. Michigan State.

Y'all put Hitler on the big screen at a nationally televised game. What? They put Hitler on the big screen. Some trivia shit. Michigan State. He was the answer to a trivia question. When they were asked about it,

they blamed it on a third party, on a third party agency or company, of course. And then when further asked about it or how they would rectify it, they hired a third party company to rectify what the third-company party did. Michigan State. What's going on? What's going on?

What's going on, man? Come on. Sigmarvin. Yeah, but can you cut that off now? Instagram, Instagram, Instagram, Instagram, Instagram. Palestinians? Instagram. Palestinians? Instagram. People were trying to rep for the Palestinians.

And they were being tagged as domestic terrorists for showing their support. When questioned about it, you said that there was a glitch and the glitch has been fixed. But Instagram. What's going on, Instagram? Come on. Come on, y'all. Hey, hey, Marvin, sing it to them. Hey, Bill Gates.

What's going on, yo? Hey, we saw that clone Tyrone. You was going to get rid of that boyfriend no matter what.

I think that's everything I have in my What's Going On segment. Cut that off, please. Huh? Cut that shit off. Playing Marvin Gaye on one of those clubs. And you ain't hit the little pow pow. Yeah, yeah, if you play too long, you can stop that shit.

The one that you think it is, have you ever asked them who they think it is? Some of them have discussed who they think that is. But whoever you think it is, did you ask them to get their opinion? No. Parks? I'm going to ask the family group chat because I'm curious now too. My family know who it is. They would definitely say me, but I

would say somebody else in my family. Oh, that narrows it down. That's helpful. They would say me, all of them, but I would say it's one of them. Because I am the famous one and I am the glamorous one, so by that way's that would be me but I'm

When do men know they're ready to settle down? Shut up. I'm just reading as I scroll. I like to scroll to the bottom. Value and content, ownership, music catalogs being brought up. Shut up. Shut it up. Well, while you look, let me ask y'all.

Did y'all see the Lil Wayne wax figurine Wax figurine That he denounced That was not Wayne And The Rock They playing Yeah

The Rocks was a white man That wasn't even That shit was hilarious man Wayne ain't like that shit The Rock didn't like that shit He was like Someone named Pullin Terrell Pullin Terrell

Pullin Terrell Says I thought the whole reason For this tear Was to be able to Shoot the fade With brother Ice Nothing against Ice

He's that nigga on the pod I just wanna see if Bro really got hands like that Shit he was Hands like all that shit He was talking When this was an idea Oh yeah I still will fight One of you niggas For the right price I don't care Alright hands like all that shit he was talking when this was an idea.

Oh, yeah. I still will fight one of you niggas for the right price. I don't care. All right. We got a long one here. We got a long one. Oh, this from the same dude, I think. I'm not fighting for free.

All right, let's get into pulling Terrell some more. For the sake of the show. Pause, yes. For the sake of the show, I'm going to try to keep this short, but as informative as possible. There's this woman. That's how it always starts. I met her in 2018, but I was with someone of the show, I'm going to try to keep this short, but as informative as possible. There's this woman. That's how it always starts.

I met her in 2018, but I was with someone at the time, so I never pursued her. I did, however, make sure that over time I became a close friend to her just in case things went south and I had a chance to get at her. From then till now, the more I talk to her, the closer we've gotten. And now we're both free agents and I'm ready to shoot a shot To add some substance. I'm 42 years old making a pretty nice salary as a manager during the day and a photographer at night She's 34 years old and doing pretty well for herself When we met we were just co-workers and I eventually became her supervisor. Oh It's getting good now. Oh

a photographer, a photographer supervisor. Hey, stay, hey, stay in late tonight. That's a model. Daddy's got some pictures to take.

Uh, let's see. I became her supervisor. When I became single, me being over her stopped me from trying to get at her because smart. I don't like the idea of losing a job for a relationship. Indeed. Well, she got fired.

Ta-da! By my boss. And we kept in touch just long enough for us to do a photo shoot together. I bet you did. The photos were for a book I was working on. It's going to be Ishbag, too, when his book come out. Which right now is my best-selling book that I've released thus far.

I'm trying to keep this short, but it's a few things added to that, making me start to have some feelings for her. I live in Atlanta, she lives in Chicago, and we recently had a conversation over the phone and she told me another one bit the dust. And she's tired of dealing with the same shit from niggas we laughed it off but just this past weekend we hung out when i was in

chicago and had a late night talk in the car oh he is an itches bag and she went more in depth and stated that her biggest problem is the men she's been seeing are not worth the penis size they bring to the table i heard that and knew for sure I could win this one over. Part of me wanted to be like, shit, let's go upstairs and I'll show you what you've been missing. But judging from her conversation, I could clearly see that the time and place

was not that night. I check all the boxes as it pertains to money, mental health, and penis size. Here's the question. I'm very laid back, like ish. he's really said that no he said that that wasn't me this time i'm very laid back like ish i'd rather talk the panty drawers off and in due time like ish i'll get you i'll get what i'm seeking or should i say or should i say fuck it and apply some pressure maybe like plan a trip out of town that i know will give me a chance

to show her what what it is in closing I'm telling I'm going to tell y'all the same thing I told my therapist my only fear of making a move on her is the fear of the end losing I'm scared to risk it all and then everything is gone friendship and

all the end it sounds like I need to toss this to Ish. Help the young brother out, Ish. So I'm tossing it to Ish. Shoot. I mean, you gotta shoot, but you gotta shoot in a subtle way.

Give us an example. Nah, I'm just saying they super close, so you don't want to lose the friendship. You gotta hint, like you got to joke. You got to throw it like a little in your window out to see if she bites. Because, again, it's going to make it awkward if he shoot a shot and she not seeing him or looking at him like that. I mean, but the reason that he's in the friend zone, she might not look at him in that type of light. But didn't he say in the beginning that she expressed interest towards him?

No. Did I miss that? Did I make that up? I didn't hear that part. I don't he say in the beginning that she expressed interest towards him? No. Did I miss that? Did I make that up? I didn't hear that part. I don't think he ever said that. I'll read it again. I think he said that that was how they originally met. You got a joke. Let me come up there to Chicago and show you how this really done.

You know what I mean? You got to make a little jokey joke. She might be like, yeah, you better. Or yo, you need to do that. The more I talk to her, the closer we've gotten. And now we're both free agents. I'm ready to shoot a shot. Before that. No, in the beginning.

No, in the beginning, it just says, I was with someone at the time, never sued her. Here it says, make sure that over time, I became a close friend to her. OK. Yeah, I think you got to put it out there in a jokey manner. She's not attracted to you, bro. You can always pull it back.

She might be. She might be. She might be. She might be, and she might be looking for her shot. Women ain't necessarily the aggressors all the time in these circumstances. She's not attracted to you, bro. It's not true. I've taken down some friends.

Yeah. I don't know. I just think it might be awkward for both of them. But again, throw the joke out there. Lead with the joke. The joke is always, oh, I was only playing. That's what you got for him? Yeah.

Because again, the friendship is valuable to him, evidently. So lead with the joke. That don't erase the fear of losing all. Yes, it does. Because when you lead with the joke, if she shoots it down, you can pull it back. Y'all was just playing. Just got to be very careful with the joke.

It's hard. He didn't either or. So the first one was take a long road trip or something like that. Like a suggestion. Yeah, he said, like, i could take her out of town so now i'm gonna invite you to turks and i'm gonna invite you to turks under the guys that we cool and when we get there i'm gonna try to get the box that's dangerous now now what yeah you're

gonna have an awkward ass vacation potentially well how about you go there with no with no expectations he's expecting he like her i know what he wants but don't put don't pressurize the situation by saying so I want to take you out of town but you know let it unfold as it naturally would she's gonna know okay we're away it's possible that he likes and if she is feeling him she's gonna lean into that but if she's not if you are out of town and she does not lean into you know us becoming physical with each other and changing the dynamic of a relationship then what Ice is saying

she ain't fucking interested yeah but you just spent 17 grand not necessarily I'm joking not I'm talking about the money but you just spent some money and now you feel like Gilbert Grape which is why you should know beforehand but here's the thing I'm not getting on no plane if I know I ain't no box into money and now you feel like Gilbert Grape. Which is why you should know beforehand. I'm not getting on no plane if I know I ain't no boss.

Facts. I'm with him. The whole situation involves a level of risk no matter what. That is true. There's a level, like, for who? For him. If he don't want to lose it. There's a possibility that even you letting her know you're attracted to her or like this,

you could lose the friendship no matter what. I agree's why i said leave with the joke the joke is always you got plausible deniability with the joke when you start joking you could lose with the joke or if you're good enough friends you can just keep it all the way it being and see what she says you could lose with the joke thank you sure she could look at this oh you and immediately say oh you one of them niggas that just try to play it cool now you think you can shoot your shot i see it nope she can see it they've been friends for mad long she said another one bites the dust but look what he said i became friends with her yeah for playing the long game so women know niggas do that so the second you make that inappropriate joke she or not inappropriate but that joke that let's move

this over here somewhere she She could view you as okay, you're one of them. After your third or fourth nigga, I wasn't necessarily seeking my opening. You have had a whole bunch of open slots. Now let me see if I could come try out for the team. It don't seem like you were sitting around like a creep waiting for it.

You done been through 16, 17 niggas, and I'm now here to take my shot. I don't think she's attracted to take my shot. Yeah. I don't think she's attracted to him. Or you keep it a bit. Or into him. I could be wrong. I say wait it out, big dog.

I wouldn't bust no moves. Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. And then she going to just come and call him, maybe? You get what I'm saying? I don't think he got enough information, or at least he didn't share enough information, to really be able to check her temperature as thoroughly as he sounded like he'd like to. Sounded like a lot of guessing and a lot of... Because if he did, he wouldn't be so fearful.

He would have a better gauge on her reaction. For him to say, I feel like I might lose the friendship as a whole, says that you have more information to gather. Yeah, true. I would do nothing. I would just keep being a friend and not bust out with my lusty wants and needs. Yo, dawg, shoot your jokes, my nigga. You keep saying that.

Them jokes. You saying that as a nigga who's been cute his whole life with light eyes. And that's how you say it. I'm serious. I'm not trying to be funny. Yes. You saying that as in something who's been cute his whole life with light eyes, and that's how you say I'm serious I'm not trying to be funny Yes, you you saying that as in something that has worked for you because they were attracted to him Yeah, you know this nigga the ugliest nigga in the world. She's not attracted to him. You better relax Well what you saying them?

from privilege It's just crazy Wait, wait, it's still been shy. It's still been the shy brother. Shut the fuck up with this joke shit. I don't want to hear what he's talking about. Shoot your jokes, my nigga. Why you don't shoot your jokes as the shy brother?

I do. As the shy brother, you shoot your jokes. In his circumstance, he's already in with the girl in some capacity. He's not a new person that he's talking to. Not really. They've been friends for years I have guy

I have guy friends that I know are biding their time and that I know okay alright the fuck and uh

and that will never ever have a shot got you so if they ever shot their shot it would it would it might that might disrupt the dynamic. I said that.

That's funny coming from Mel because Mel has also explained that she's the one biting her tongue as it pertains to a couple of her friends. That's my point. Well, no, it was a previous relationship. So think about this. So if Mel, let's say, hypothetically, you had a dude that you wanted him to shoot a shot, but he didn't. Last example on you for today. No, I'm saying, no, we flipping this. If you wanted him to shoot a shot and he didn't, how would you prefer for him to go about it?

That would answer Homeboy's question. Women are a lot more slick, you know. And I'm speaking generally because some women are very forthcoming and they will just fucking say it but women are usually very subtle and slick and kind of give you a lot of body language you know a lot of caressing a lot of you know staring into your eyes and all that say i'm attracted to you exactly so we did we're we really do the non-verbal communication thing so that would be how would you want so you break the touch. How would you want him. So you break the touch barrier? Yes. How would you want him to push.

That's crazy. And please, can we answer this and come to a close? I think you waited too long. That's what I think. I think you waited too long. Because now you value the friendship so much that you don't want to lose it. So you waited too long. It's hindering you even trying to make a move. If you would have done this earlier on,

where you... Now, if she's not feeling you that way, maybe y'all can continue as friends. It's not much at risk there. She ain't really curving you to the point where I don't ever want to talk to you again. But that long friendship you built up comes after the fact,

and you both know there's nothing there. You waited too long. Stay her friend. Shoot your shot. All right, let's dance. Terrence Martin. Alex Isley, two-step in the living room. Been over pieces, it dropped.

Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo Ay yo, ay yo, ay yo Ay yo, you ever had to watch your moms get beat? Roaches crawling crack pipe on the bathroom seat

You need to bank out your speakers Gold frame on the black cheeses Eating grilled government cheeses Bottega weaves suit 23,000 War to a visit Had my name ringing through the mountains Stomped a Tupperware Groomed all tips of the showers, must've virgin forces on the rec yard

See Otho up in the tower, dead cup, that's when shit got sour Told him, if you snip powder, don't sell powder Louis V patchwork, bout 50 for the shirt Bout 50 for the pins, made the pie bags dance Love, gas stove romance, love out the war door Gave a hundred to the door, man, come dig our soul vans The Dolce Road match the stove The Dolce stove match the refrigerator

The super fly car let me re-innovate it A-holes on the tech don't get humiliated With light, three chains, five titties, bracelets We old school, got them bagging with they titties hanging Kitchen lights, kitchen lights Them bricks shine different under them kitchen lights That money look bluer under them kitchen lights Never seen a richer meal under kitchen lights

We don't lease, we buy the whole thing I ain't selling nothing but the whole thing Kitchen lights Kitchen lights You ever had to watch the work disappear Water turn from foggy to clear You just stand there and stare Taking the fear of God's sweat

She gon' air shit Tell them niggas they can't mirror this Everything I whip is like my wrist is Way ahead of its time, proof of thought in the dishes Like Pete Miravich's Got to the kitchen, they should've listened They couldn't see my vision I had Chanel dreams and Yale wishes

I had to dodge Durango with seven bricks in the car seat like an infant I'm a cook indefinite, I'm heaven sent Shit get dirtier than Bill Landbeard with the pit stains I dropped a tear for my dog, they gave him twenty When he touched back down, his baby gon' be twenty Hold your head, we gon' build a bassinet out of hundreds He said his bunkie is a nigga from my town that owe me money For an ounce I threw him back when they was doing the thuggy

They can't stop me, can't take this from me The ones praying that I fall, the ones that say they love me We had a hundred bricks on the couch, it felt so good I wanted to die there So many kilos piled up I could've climbed here I'm into this level we at, feel the allure You talkin' to a nigga that counted a half a million cash With cocaine under his fingernails before The plug told me it move faster when you take your time

I ain't understand them then but it all makes sense in due time Nine hour Paris flight reminiscing on life In my jersey and the kitchen lights since in duton nine hour paris flight reminiscing on life that's kitchen lights what's that gun and stove got cooks all right i'm going to uh jenya the song is called false prophet all right It's called False Prophet Alright Fuck word Screaming down the hall so I try to shut it out I try to sing away the pain Broken glass was in your hands and you put it to a blow How the fuck you don't feel no shame You're supposed to be the one to show me how to love

But you showed me how to hate myself Cause the same blood in your veins runs through mine And that's something I can't get around But that's not how I'm gonna live That's not how my story's gonna end And sometimes I wanna forget I'm down on my knees, but I'm missing the end You can't take this from me

No No, you won't take this from me You don't care if I'm hurting, these scars deep within You left me discerning and I can't forgive I got so many questions that went unanswered But you'll never be able to take what you don't give Mama was crying, mama was crying You were the reason you would destroy your life

End of the world, fighting your demons But I was just a kid Not once did you say you were sorry After all these years Still lifting on like it didn't happen If that's how you choose to live You didn't think about the consequences You made that you forget

Are you scared to just admit? You took a lot from me But you won't take this from me You don't care if I'm hurting These scars keep thinning You left me discerning And I can't forgive I got so many questions

I can tell when you ain't getting laid by the music. All you got to do is listen to the music. That's it. Let's see. Yeah, there's a little Tha Rub music right there. I almost played like a throwback, like a Sade song, in light of Alex Isley's new music. Good part today.

Good part. Good part. I thought you was going to play No One or something. Excuse me? What did you say? I thought you was going to play No One or something. No One. What are you saying?

But that was a great 42 Dug record you shitted on with your old 60-year-old head ass. That was a great fucking West Side song. That was a West Side song, right?

In this shit. No, not. No, I don't know what you mean. The baddies. The baddies are insecure and all that other. Thank y'all for all that shit. I forgot your closing. Next time, don't worry about it.

Next time, just shut the fuck up. Why you can't just do your closing to the good song? Now you done. Now you done. Look what you did. You being difficult. You being difficult. You supposed to end us.

Yo, I don't know your soliloquy. No, you supposed to do your own shit. Yo, Big Ish, Newark, Rose, Dead World, whatever the fuck you at. God damn it. Oh, man. Parks. Yeah. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to end this yet. Come on, give us a little something on Philly having not one penalty the entire game. Yeah, it was 10 penalties to zero. Actually, let me start again. Philly won the game. They should have won the game. They were a better team. They were a more physical team.

They were more healthy. They won the game. The refs this weekend in the NFL at large were disappointing and disgusting enough to us. Say that shit. The Colts got robbed. The Rams got robbed of a shot. The Rams didn't get robbed. The Dolphins got robbed of a shot. I'm not saying that any of these teams would have

won, but they got robbed of a shot by the NFL being extremely sketchy with officiating. And it's really bad for that to be happening at a time when the betting market is going crazy because this shit looks bad. Bad.

Bad. It does. But sooner or later we got to have a talk about what betting is doing to the current sports landscape. It's knocking on the door

right now. That Colts game, I felt so bad for Zaire. Me too, yo. And EJ. Yeah. They played their butts. EJ, yo, that play EJ made.

That was crazy. They played their butts off, yo. He went in there, blew that whole shit up And they called some Bullshit ass Fucking Defensive holding

So The Dolphins game My man got fucking Yanked by the face mask Which is an automatic Right in front of the ref Right in front of the ref They're saying

He's from Philly And shit Like come on fam You know That's crazy And again I don't Like all these games The officiating may not have made a difference,

but you fuck up the chance for it being a shot. We buying the Bajon Robinson thing? I don't really know the details of it. Boy, he almost fucked my fantasy up. Pause. He almost fucked my whole money league up. You still won? In fantasy.

Yes, I still won. I still won. No, I started Trevor Lawrence. Anybody that starts against the Niners defense, I sit them because I'd be scared. He went crazy. But Kirk Cousins at home. Kirk Cousins at home without Justin Jefferson. Word.

Don't play with him. He went off. I was playing Ja Rule. All my players played. I had 125 points. I was playing Ja Rule all my players played I had 125 points he had 94 points with the Niners defense and TJ Hawkinson left and Hawkinson started going off crazy but then the Niners defense didn't do nothing and he lost by five points and a nail-biter this is what fantasy football is all about

we're looking at a game that your team is not playing in pulling your fucking bald greys out stressing losing weight not watching the game, not opening Twitter because people might say TJ Hawkinson one time I opened Twitter it was like TJ Hawkinson keep going

I'm closing this I love fantasy football tonight which is last night if you're listening to this on Saturday the NBA season I'm closing this I'm done I love fantasy football tonight which is last night if you're listening to this on Saturday the NBA season starts can anybody give me

their biggest NBA stories that they look forward to I will start Joel Embiid to the Knicks yeah it's happening it does feel like it yeah and I'm not saying this

as the Knicks fan that just clamors for every star. There's been rumblings that Joel Embiid likes New York. I don't think he wants to go too far from Philly, and it's James Harden shit is going to push it over the edge. Yeah. I think it's happening.

And the Knicks are going to deliver the package needed to get them at some point. When I saw this morning, I was like, shit, you take that. It was like two to three first round picks. That was good. Two to three first round picks. Mitchell Robinson, Evan Fournier, R.J. Barrett, and Julius Randle. That's like the whole fucking team, bro. That's crazy. I do to three first round picks. Mitchell Robinson, Evan Fournier, RJ Barrett, and Julius Randle. That's like the whole fucking team, bro. That's crazy.

I do that. I do that. Take that. I do that. I do it, though. You do that if you're the Knicks? 100%. 100%.

What was Philly giving back? Embiid? Embiid. Probably something else. I'm sure. They'll make the contracts match. They got to make the money work. They got to make the money work.

But the haul was Embiid. I think the Knicks plan, don't quote me, don't quote me, even though I be writing my predictions. Never. They're going to spend for Embiid, and they're going to wait out Donovan Mitchell, and then that's their team. I think the Knicks did that with getting Melo,

and I think they regret it. I don't think they regret the Melo trade at all. I think they definitely regret the Melo trade. I don't think they do. You're crazy. all. I think they definitely regret the Mellow trade. I don't think they do. You're crazy. Listen, can y'all speak to the NBA stories that y'all are most excited for? I want to see what Boston looks like. Boston and Milwaukee, I want to see that.

I want to see what Boston really looks like. I think they made a mistake giving away Williams for Porzingis. I think Porzingis helps them on the offensive side of the ball, but it kills them on the defensive side of the ball, and they didn't need offense. I like every move the Lakers did in the offseason with the exception of re-signing D'Lo. But D'Lo says he's going to make a concerted effort to get better on the defensive side of the ball. So we'll see what happens with that. I think Denver's still the team to beat, yo.

I think so, too. I think, like you said, it's the same. The NBA thing. I think it's over. I grew up with Spurs fans, so I'm curious to see how the Wimby shit go. I want to see Wimby. I want to see Dame out there in Milwaukee. No, he was not. Pop does what Pop does, so I want to see what the there in Milwaukee. No, he was not.

Pop does what pop does, so I want to see what the Spurs look like, too. They got a nice nucleus of young players out there. Oh, and also, Joe, before we leave, the Chris Brown album is not 11 songs. 22 songs. It's a double project. 11 a.m.

And 11 in the p.m. That's still not bad, though, for him. That's still a short album. I agree. I'm not mad at that. I love it now. That's dope. A.m. p.m. That's dope. 11 a.m. was 11 records. 11 p.m. 11 records. That's hilarious a short album. I agree. I'm not mad at that. I love it now. That's dope. AM, PM. That's dope.

11 AM was 11 records. 11 PM. 11 records. That's hilarious, though. That's a win for me. All right, man. Y'all keep us in your prayers. Lord knows we need to be there.

Until the next time, I bid you adieu. Farewell. Adios. Arrivederci. Arrivederci. Au revoir. So long. Goodbye.

Only the real R.B. heads. Come goodbye. Only the real R.B. has. Come on, only the real R.B. has. Y'all know who I do it for. Y'all know who I do it for. When DJ Verified is on the set. Issue status on in the white van. Mel might have got her back blown out to this in Toronto one night.
