And that's the fucking problem with our people, man. Right? Already out the gate. Out the gate. Doesn't even know what we're going to say. No, no, no, no, no. Before out the gate, like when the news broke, I thought about Mark and Mel. I said, oh, right at the gate. Oh, Lord. I think I know what y'all, what y'all are going to say. I think you underestimate me, sir.

Uh, who you think going to say it, what we think they going to say? Mel. I think Mel going to say it. Mel Pussy, because she want a job at Fox. Joy! Hey, Joy, it's me. I understand, girl.

I can't do the world. I think it's so difficult being a woman. I'm going to cry out, man. Working in male-dominated spaces. Sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Having to curb your femininity. Sorry, man. For the security of men that may not be as qualified as you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes you have to put in positions. Dumb yourself down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know a thing or two about that. Are we off? Are we off? Are we off? I escaped it.

I feel like a little bit, yeah. I wasn't going to say any of that shit. Let's go, man. Exactly. Teach them niggas, man. I wasn't going to say any of that. Nigga, we'll fuck 1.5. You got bigger offers than turn it down, nigga.

Ian, it's over for your little Hootenanny games you were playing. Mark was very happy that those lotto tickets were free.

So happy. Nobody was happier than Mark. My whole day got better. Yeah, that's horrible. Oh, I mean, Mel was happy, too. I'm still just, she texted me with like seven exclamation points, which hasn't happened in a long time. That's had what?

When's the last time she texted you with all of my exclamation points? When she said, I'm glad you're coming to the show. She was like, I'm glad you joined in the show, she was like, I'm glad you joining the show. Good defense. Yeah, that boy got good. Two steps ahead of you, Nance. That boy is good.

That nigga Chad stepped crossed over real fast. He might be good in this basketball shit. She text you with exclamation points that said what? It was fake, the video was fake. It was not necessarily enjoyment. It was like shock. Ah. Oh. She's trying to play good defense.

And that's what happened. She's not the greatest. Oh my god. I didn't see that coming. She didn't say she was happy. I just saw the exclamation point. I was joyous. The hater hopped out of you both.

are here, how's everybody doing? How's everybody feeling? What's on your mind, hearts and souls? Talk to me, talk to me. Doing great. Feeling good, man. Glad to be back. Word.

That's it. Glad to have some normalcy. Yeah. It is good to be back. Feeling great, man. Accessibility shortcuts. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This computer doing some shitty last one.

All right, all right, girl. Okay, girl. I was about to say, that's the new Siri? Nah, nah, you must've clicked the button too many times. Indiana. I'm hitting the round of applause again in this piece. So I'm back with my friends. Oh man, missed you guys. Missed you guys.

Alright, so where do y'all want to start? With you, Luke. Luke, you start. Where the hell you use that? OK. How do we do this? How do we do this here? Long story longer than it should be. So everybody here knows I had my sleepwalking.

Uh-huh. Yeah. You talked about it on the pod. Incident. Yes. Briefly, I mean, I said that I slept, I was sleepwalking somewhere that I shouldn't have been sleepwalking. Yeah, true.

So I'll expound on that a little bit. Some people here know, those of you out there may not know, for a few months now, I've been having an ongoing battle with this racist couple. He's Turkish, she's Russian. I ain't saying nothing.

I ain't saying nothing. He's Turkish, she's Russian, she's a Karen. They have been doing all types of shit for months in terms of just complaining about noise and the smell and seeing black people and having to share spaces with black people. In my one conversation I've had with this lady, in an irritable moment for her, she said, you people will never change, y'all just refuse to grow. I was alone, so I don't know who you people or y'all was.

I took that to mean, okay, this lady's racist, and that explains some of the behavior. But that didn't stop. They've had me investigated by the building, who loves us here, by the way. They've had me investigated by the owner of the unit. They've complained about electrical outlets for my cars needing to be plugged in.

They've complained about anything that you could possibly complain about for months. That's a lot of energy. Yeah, but I just be minding my business. So like if you're not in my zone, then that's it. But everybody don't operate like that. So these people have been doing this for months. This has been ongoing while we've been recording.

And that's the door I sleptwalk to. That's the irony too. That's the ironic piece. That's the door that I decided to sleepwalk directly to, butt ass naked. Normally, you know, you would think you'd knock on somebody's door and door be like hey, you good? You got some sugar? I seen you over here. He was at my door with your dick out. But no, these people decided to misuse some of the systems that are in place for real victims and they went to the police to foul a report to say that Joe button was

outside of their door masturbating on their door and they don't know if I was there with the intention to our word her and her family. So what seemed like a simple sleepwalking medical condition, no. Turned into something much bigger. So I've been going for a month because I had a civil suit. This is my first time having a civil suit. I don't know how these shoes go.

And it just so happens that the judge picked every pod recording day to have the trial. Tuesdays, Fridays. So I understand that you fans were a bit perturbed, but sometimes you gotta wait. And if you know anything about me, you know if I'm not at work, there's a reason that I'm not at work. I love to work so Yeah civil suit

Gotta go to trial So I went to trial and then the first day she got up there Took the stand shout to the judge to before I even get into all that. There's a few people that I want to thank I Want to thank all of the people out there for all the love and support. There was so many of y'all out there that were sending me commercial filming spaces. Y'all were sending me warehouses.

Y'all were sending me abandoned buildings. Like people out there really, you know, for all the people, there's some people out there that hate, but there's a lot of love and a lot of people really showed up to try to, hey, any way I can help, if y'all need to use this space, as long as y'all need it, you can have it. So that's super, super dope.

I wanna shout out those people. I wanna thank PrizePix as well. Shout out to PrizePix. I preach all the time about how important it is to align yourselves with companies that don't fret at the first sight of something that may look problematic. Mark has some experience there.

So I do want to shout out to PrizePix. Great people over here. Thank you. Salute, salute, salute, salute. That's really important to me. Really important, really empowering, really helpful. Wow. Wow. Wow. Great, great. Shout out to Prize Figs. Who else do I want to shout out? Who else do I want to shout out? I got to shout out to Ops. I got to shout out. I got shout out to Ops. I got a shout out to Ops. Y'all niggas must have recognized that this was some medical shit and kept it low a little bit. I don't

know if I would have had the same. I don't know that if a story came out about one of y'all sleepwalking, then I would have done the same. But for the most part, it was quiet out there. It was quiet out there. And the cop that put out that... Statement? Press release. That was clearly his first time in the content game. He did that shit on New Year's Eve. I don't know if you like that.

Where's the Costa Rica like, man, get this shit two hours. They got two hours to get their jokes. Everybody gonna be out having fun, drunk. They tried to ruin the holiday a little bit. They tried it. They tried it. They tried it, but we was lit out there. We was lit out there.

But I do want to shout out, Prize picksix, the Ops, the people out there, the fans, the supporters, y'all were extremely helpful in this very difficult time. But anyway, so we go to court. All right, so we go to court. This is the fastest trial in history too, like how did- It wasn't fast to me. It wasn't fast to me, I was displaced.

True. Yeah. I was displaced for over a month. So it wasn't fast at all. And every time I thought it would end, it didn't. I don't know nothing about this. So if you tell me, all right, come in on the 12th. I'm like, all right, the 12th, we back. Hell no.

She took the stand, got up there, a bunch of white girl tears, cried immediately. She got right to it. And you got to sit there. You got to sit there and keep a straight face. Because the judge is watching. So you got to be like a human. You can't be like from hip hop.

You want to be childish? No, the story gets funnier. I'll tell you when I wanted to be childish. So she get up there and she does all the crying, oh my god, this is fear for my life. And my kids saw this. And to be clear, I saw some of the think pieces out there saying, oh, if you sleepwalking in front of kids,

that was horrible. No, this lady showed this video to her kids. So I don't give a fuck about none of that. And then her husband took the stand and then they were cross-examined and that was day one. But what I learned is, and this is for stalking and lewdness. Stalking. Stalking and lewdness. How long was the video? Hmm? How long was the video? Ten seconds. Ten second video but the stalking is from the day before.

All of this happened the third and the fourth. Remember we heard all that noise? It was irony that the day we heard all that noise. The niggas were throwing bowling balls on the floor. Yeah, I went up there stood there to see if I heard some noise left. The very next day was a sleepwalking shit. Cool, that was the end of day one.

But for lewdness, you need to be naked with the intent to sexually gratify yourself, which is why she lied on that paperwork, to say he was masturbating on my door, as if I can't find a million better places to masturbate than that. But if the shit is on record, that's a dumbass lie. Yeah.

But go ahead, proceed. That's why you need a trial. Because the whole time I'm saying, hey, we got a video, we can look at the video. Right. Like the building's video. And the judge is like, well, everybody's on the hook now. So yes, the building's video, but they got their own video,

like it's videos now. Which is why she told that dumbass he's masturbating on my door whatever the fuck she said so anyway that's the end of day one they asked her if if well my lawyer asked her if she thought that I was fully erect in the video You know what she said? She said yes. Wow. That's where you wanted to be childish. Right there. He wanted to be so childish. You was tight. You gotta sit there.

You just gotta sit there. You gotta sit there with a straight face. Darkness! Darkness! He's not putting shit on a table, nigga. Martin be like, ma'am. I don't know what you used to. Helga. It's different around here, Helga.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, Russian lady. Listen, listen, Helga. Yeah. Helga. So that was a big point of contention during this civil trial. Is he erect? He touched his penis in this video, so was that masturbating? She says yes. So then we got to wait until the next day we go to court. So we go to court again. Now me and my brain trust are trying

to figure out, do we just call my doctor to say, like, this is some sleepwalking shit? But if we do that, then he gets cross-examined, then they have to, they're going to call an expert witness to rebut that. And this is going to drag this out for another few months. What's up? I'll be another few weeks. Pause.

Hey, yo fam. Pause. Hey, yo fam. Pause. I would have just hit the doctor like yo, hey judge. No, I'd hit the lawyer like yo, that was just a picture of me. Hey judge, let me show you something.

Judge. What? Yo, man. This is what this looks like. This is what it looks like. Versus that. Now look at that. Yeah.

Well, Y'all know, so I didn't want to drag it out. So I did not call my doctor to the stand. Call my girl. To the stand? No. You got damn right.

God damn right. Call my baby to the stand. That's sh- Oh, yes. You nervous as hell. You look stupid as hell on the stand. That's a notice. You got that lady up there calling up a social.

She probably like, I didn't sign up for this. Shout out to Shade, man. I called my baby, man. That's so fire. She probably like, yo, nigga, I just bought the 30-piece. I'm live on air. I'm talking about the amazing job that you did. I'm talking about the amazing job that you did. I'm talking about the amazing job that you did. I'm talking about the amazing job that you did. I'm talking about the amazing job that you did.

I'm talking about the amazing job that you did. I'm talking about the amazing job that you did. I'm talking about the amazing job that you did on the stand. I gotta give it up. Gotta give it up. Thank you very much. Laura said, was he flaccid? She said yes. Absolutely, Russian bitch.

Right, babe? I said. She said yes. Absolutely. Absolutely, Russian bitch. Right, babe? Tell them. They did. He was like, was he at all erects? And I said, absolutely not. Hello.

Hello. They started playing my game. Hey, what the fuck they talking about? Yeah? Relax, nigga. Let them think it's small. Oh, hell yeah. Yo, your shit was on short?

Yes, I'm a growin' out of shower. Oh, my God. I got you a video with a tiny me? Yeah. You want me to log off? You took a cold water bath before you went to sleep? In that metal tub? Yeah. You want me to lower my voice? You turned cold water back before you went to sleep. At that military victory. So they asked her a few questions.

I'm going to let you go, because I know you're really busy. But tell my amazing coals about me on the stand and the job you think I did. Oh my god. Well. They called you up. Right after? He is a big, strong black man.

And that's how he comes off on the scene. Very confident. And I kept trying to tell him, stop being so god damn confident, because it comes like, no. She wanted me to cold switch. Yeah. Nigga, we are trying to make sure this goes the way we want it to go.

Hello? But instead, he's just him, and he can't help it. His voice comes off strong as hell. The first question I was asking him, he overpowered the entire damn room. Everybody looked at him like, what the hell? His deep-ass voice, then it's in the mic. It was just extra. I'm like, this nigga, everywhere he goes, he just draws attention.

No way, but then I remember where I was at. I said, and I'm like this nigga everywhere he goes he just draws attention. No way, but then I remember where I was at. I said, and I'm embarrassed. I'm so embarrassed by this. They saw my naked body. I'm like. He did, he did. They took some shots at me and they tried to, they took shots at me. I was like, shit.

Yeah, they did, they did, they me. Oh, yeah, they did. Laura trying to get. Hey, are you married? Oh, no. Wait, hold on. They're like, yeah, no, no, no, no. They said they asked her, are you married? She said no. He said, is he married?

It's not my baby. Is he married? Oh shit. Bitch, I blame my baby. Bitch, I blame my baby. Is he married? Like, you a bitch. I'm like, you look like buckets with a jug catch right back. She was like, first of all, she answered your question.

Relax. If he's not married, she's not married. And where's the rest of it? Now, let's move along. Yeah, exactly. But they were sending the shots. They were giving the shots. No, but that be that racial stereotypical bullshit.

There was. There was one here. Yep, you're right. It's to try to paint you looking like a hero. Yeah. I'm like, I'm not a hero. I'm not a hero. I'm not a hero.

I'm not a hero. I'm not a hero. I'm not a hero. they were sending the shots. They was giving the shots. No, but that be that racial stereotypical bullshit. Yep, you're right. To try to paint you looking like a heathen. You know what I'm saying? Get the fuck out of here. All right, babe, I love you. Let me finish telling these guys. Love you too, bye bye.

So anyway, the truth of the matter is I'm a nudist. I'm a voyeur. I'm an exhibitionist. I don't give a fuck. I know somebody's seen me naked for 10 seconds, but very embarrassed by this entire ordeal and disappointed that. Yo, you're not in court.

You don't gotta do that. Fuck them. No, I'm playing, but. I had to give him a little bit of that, but again, long story, less long. Shit, I thought it would be over after that. Judge was like, I'm gonna sit on this for the weekend. I'm gonna sit on it for the weekend and come back to it. Again, I take my after that judge. She was fair, reasonable. That's all you can ask

for. Like heard all the testimony, was attentive. She wasn't on no bullshit, and she came back and was like, she gave a whole breakdown of everybody's, everybody testified of their body language, their consistencies, their inconsistencies, their reasonability, the credibility. She did say I smirked a couple of times during the thing, but that lady was getting some bullshit off. Like, it's like, lady. So I hit up a couple of times during the thing, but that lady was getting some bullshit off. Like, it's like, lady.

So I hit up a couple of smirks, but that was the end of that. And by preponderance of the evidence. Kick rocks. Yeah. Let's get out of here. Because then she got into what some of these things mean. Stalking means by statute 8.2. Words mean things. Words mean things. stalking means by Statute 8.2

Two or more times where you have harassed Threatened made somebody in fear for a life. Oh, yeah, they are all of this shit. They didn't apply to me So she was like by preponderance of the evidence. No, I don't find that that is stalking and lewdness in statute 6.4 to 3 that you have to be nude where there's reasonable expectation for you to be seen. I wasn't seen. That ring video means, if you see me through a ring door, that don't mean nothing. Like nobody was in the hallway, nobody seen shit.

And you have to be in the act of or trying to... Pleasure yourself. Pleasure yourself. And she said, Mr. Budden was not erect. Mr. Budden was not masturbating. If y'all want to make jokes about my dick-me-a-small, go ahead. I'm workshopping a few right now. Yo, yeah, yeah. I'm workshopping a few right now. I got the Chinese shit just going down. I'm glad that you added his story.

This is the end of that. So, as he said, Mr. Budden was not a wreck. He was not masturbating. The one time that he touched his penis, he appeared to be trying to cover himself. Mr. Budden was not trying to forcibly enter your, because that's what they say, your body.

He was trying to cover himself. to be trying to cover himself. Mr. Budden was not trying to forcibly enter your, because that's what they say, he was trying to forcibly enter my place. But the video shows me trying to put a keypad in. It looked like I had to pee. It looked like a 10 second video of me having to pee. She was like, he's shifting his weight from one leg to another leg as if he has to use the bathroom.

He's not forcibly trying to enter. He was out there for a total of nine seconds and it is for that that I find, yeah, no, it's over for that. So Mr. Budden, please take the necessary precautions to make sure that this never happens again. Put the zap it on your door. Yeah. And all of y'all get the fuck out. Oh, they ain't even order you to do shit, though.

The order at the verdict? No. Yeah, because he found her not guilty of anything. Good shit. Well, she said, I'm going to wear pajamas. There you go. And you got a couple dollars. You can get some nice ones.

Like, it's a real simple fix. I'm going to wear some boxer briefs to bed in the event that I take a stroll. Y'all fuck, hey, let me tell you niggas something. You niggas had my aunt Catherine call me. Y'all had my aunt, y'all made my aunt Catherine leave Wednesday night church service to call and say a prayer over the phone. My aunt Catherine don't call me for nothing,

it's in that bullshit. Said, Joey, I seen some things. She said, Joey, I seen some things in the news, I want you to know, we praying for you, darling. Come on, let's say a prayer right now. I love you all, Catherine. You fucking motherfuckers. Y'all had the damn bartenders looking at me away

before they handed me my juice. When I went out, they gave me the juice, told me, I seen some stores. It was such a wild thing to have to answer to in the streets. Oh really? You had to answer. You had to? Yes.

Nigga. Fuck you think happened to our phones? Fuck phones, nigga. I walked in the barbershop 10 minutes after the shit dropped. I was being looked at me like That was your fault though. Why is that my fault? You walk in a barbershop with them jokes about to fly?

Nigga you don't know what's going to drop and what the news about to be on the way? You ain't going to get a haircut? Nah that's not true, y'all had a month, y'all had before the news went public y'all knew my business. We at lead time, that's what I'm saying. True, but that's not true. That's not that press release going out. That's morning, my nigga, that's different.

That shit went out and I'm in the shop, they like, yo, what up? Yo, my nigga, what's up? My family from down south, everybody, yeah. What'd they say and what y'all said? I gave them niggas the emojis and put shit in my head. What the fuck you think? Thanks.

I ain't explaining that shit. Everybody that calls said, yo, tell your man to put some clothes on. I just ignored them. Yo, I'm at the New Year's party. I see Mayno. Yo, man, what up? He don't even say hi.

Tell your man to put some clothes on. This the kind of shit niggas is dealing with in the streets. The cop-o-two called me. I'm like, yo, tell Joe to put some clothes on. I'll start changing subject quick. I'm not talking about the niggas. Freak ass boy.

Listen, I'm gonna wear pajamas. There we go. Wearing pajamas. Smart man. We got a resolution. Maybe one of those collars that zaps you if you like leave the like electronic. She need this right into the top of some shit. We got a resolution. Maybe one of those callers that zaps you if you like leave the like, it lifts the electronic head.

She leaves it right in the top of some shit. Extra protection. You know, protecting from himself. And what about the sleepwalking part? Like you got like some treatments or something? Yes. I'm gonna take a sleep test. Okay.

I'm gonna take a sleep test. Okay. He tried me understand with that. Oh, so you sleepwalking up. Ever took a sleep test? Like, nope. It's like this doctor's note that you got a, your cousin works there, right? So you sleep walking up Ever took sleep tests like nope It's like this doctors know did you got a your cousin works there, right? No trial is kind of funny, but you can't laugh

But trial is cut I ain't gonna hold you it was a very uh, it was a learning experience. I was just happy, I was happy that- Shit different than the doc. Try how funny when you come out on the positive side of it. Cause it shit ain't funny if it go the other way. And it's true. Think about this. And it's civil. Imagine if the judge wasn't understanding.

No, she said it. She said, this is one of the rare, this is probably the only case I've, one of the only cases I've seen where there's a video. When there's no video, it's your word versus their word. And that could go a little too different. Yes. It would've been a whole different. Whole different? You know what I'm saying? They paint you as the big black scary man and we timid and afraid.

Yeah, but that's what I was grateful for. I was grateful for the growth and the maturation part on my side, because you know, sometimes, they'd have caught me 10 years ago, my response would have been rebelliousness and to act out and to really, oh that's what you think of black people, and then show you, but no, it wasn't the time for that.

Yeah, I was grateful that I got to show like who I am in there, which is. A human being as opposed to the rapper, because rappers fit in a box. You know what I'm saying? Like black rapper, rich, braggadocious, and they think we don't have sense. They think we can't conjugate verbs,

they think we can't speak with concise thoughts, all of that shit. So, and you an asshole too, in the arrogance with the intelligence, it's like, oh yeah, he a little different. Yeah, no, I was proud of myself. I was proud of myself. That display shit for a month was a little annoying.

But other than that, job well done. Again, thank you guys. Thank you guys for holding it down for the month. I appreciate y'all. Boy, it was long. Boy, it was long, but we back! Yeah, we back. But we back.

Can't wait to have my studio back. You used to say that bad times. I would like to have my studio back, though. Man, kicking us out, get the fuck out of here. Never. Fuck out. We can stay there as long as we want, but. Stupid ass.

The people might have known some people, they might have known a few people at the police precinct, but I know God. Your God don't play about you. Y'all know some humans. I know God. I always tell y'all my God don't play about me and good choice by you Ops That would have been a real bad move for anybody thinking that sleepwalking was gonna be the thing that was gonna put your button down

for the cow Some of y'all know I'm a little more resilient than that Some of y'all yeah, that just would've been bad. That would've been lowering the fruit. Y'all know, y'all did, good choice. Good choice. But, and I'm glad I'm grateful. All praise due to higher power. Couldn't have done it without him. There's no civil recourse for like the statement

that the cop put out, cause that just seemed like a... Well, yeah, allegedly and guilty, innocent until proven guilty, all that shit was in there, so I think that probably covered some of the right stuff in there. I get why they did that though. Why?

It makes sense. It makes a lot of sense. You gotta figure, once the news hit, and these internet detectives blowing they phone up, so now it's like, yo, we getting calls and people stopping by trying to ask all these questions, yo, what's going on, what's going on? Let us put a statement out, address it.

They probably ain't dealt with no shit like that. So let's put a statement out just to, in their mind, and we just putting something out to address it. No, man. It's not like it was a fucking murder. I'm not rolling with that, I'm not rolling with that at all. The lewdness charge is fourth degree lewdness. Like without this civil shit,

that charge was getting thrown at, that was, that was getting the fuck out of me. I think they addressed that, I don't know the article by heart. But wait, before the civil trial even started, I had a date for the criminal shit, which should have been one, two, three. They pushed that date. Of course.

They pushed that date. I also found a whole bunch of countercharges that mysteriously took over a month to get where they needed to be. So if you're asking me what I think, again, I feel like they know some people. Probably. The fact that that dropped on New Year's Eve,

three weeks after the, four weeks after the incident says that there was a little bit of strategy employed. Well, no, I know the strategy. Attempted strategy. I know the strategy. On the press releases. The strategy was, yo, Uncle Murda got this wrap up drop and let's make sure he knows

so he can get his bars in there. Uncle Murda, your thirsty ass was finished. That shit was finished. I ain't gonna hold you. That was fine. No, I don't, I woulda did the same shit. I didn't have no more beat left. He was you. That was fine. No, I don't have to. It was fine. I would have did the same shit. I didn't have no more beat left. He was done.

He was done. He went back in the booth. Nah, he did that shot as follows. That was on the ball. Throw this on there. Your butt naked ass was in the hallway walking. I was listening like, I get it. I get it.

Shout out to murder man. Shout out to uncle murder man. Anybody else I need to shout out on my sleepwalking? Let me just make sure. Your lawyer? My lawyer. My lawyer. That guy's a dog.

That guy's a dog. Listen, y'all go get these dads or whatever. Wherever they got their attorneys from on paper, it read. Fucking Johnson & Johnson firm. Whatever the fuck. It read. We have. It's the network. It read. red fucking with Johnson and Johnson firm. It read we have the network. It read got their ass up in here. They got, you gotta go get you a hungry nigga. That's just about it.

It's the video and no video. They were hung your black ass off the balcony. They were given a shit case. They were given a shit case. I will say that like lewdness and stalking for what we have on this video Yeah, no. Yeah. Shout out to my lawyer who I shout to the judge, shout out to the prize-winning, shout out to the fans, shout out to the haters. I think that's it. I think that's it. Does this change how you feel about being in this space? Particularly having to walk past them or see them going into the crib or seeing them on the elevator like You got like enemies. They like for real like does it make you not want to be here?

It did. It did for a minute during the month. Again, I was more worried about y'all. Not really me. Like, I don't feel like my people should be subject to certain things, certain profiling and certain surveillance that I know was going on, even in my absence. But for me, no, listen, I came here, we, I rented this place, I wanna shout out to her too.

The owner of this unit is fly. Like be clear, the owner of this unit is absolutely fly, loves me, loves this, loves it all. And I had such a great time in this building that they don't leak all my business talk and talk that I purchased multiple units in the building. So but that's where the problem started. Yep. That's where the class of the beef comes in. We've been in here for two years. Everybody in the building loves us. The cleaning people fuck with us.

The managers fuck with us. Everybody likes us. Using your place. Once you buy a unit here, it change, oh what? Or two. Yeah, but a couple. Wait no, and then. And my unit might cost more than their units.

You only told us about one nigga No it's a difference I have a few don't worry about it mind your business But then that Ferrari popped up Then? Then? And then that Cullinan popped up Yeah

It's like I'ma fix this little nigga No dog the problem started pre-cars No I know I agree with you The problem started pre-cars. No I know. The problem started, because even the nigga over there was like oh yeah you written right? Yeah let me get that other parking spot. You understand what I'm saying? Like just the fact that you saying shit like that. Dog whistling.

Yeah. Yeah. Speaking in code. No it's true. Oh you bought something? Let me go research what he bought. So to answer your question maybe maybe I would feel a way if I were a renter.

I'm an owner, you can't, nah. That mean I'm taking my owner belt to where I rent. Dude, I mean I'm on HOAs, I'm on the Zooms, I'm on the town hall meetings, I'm there. And I think that those people, the racist people I'm talking about have sullied themselves with their behavior. Oh, that's good. Like people like me, like I treat people with respect and I'm kind and I'm polite.

Yeah. We fly with a lot of the neighbors in the bar. So that shit had you y'all got him, the nice guy out there saying he did what? Did y'all say he did? No. And for the people, cause I'm sure the board saw the video, they have no choice.

Now I'm gonna hear what y'all said happened versus what I saw happen. It makes y'all look crazy. You got no credibility. To any rational person, it makes y'all look crazy. And that's what the judge said. The judge was like, I understand what your perception was

and being afraid. And again, naked man at your door, I get it. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, 1000%. You can be tight regardless. Yeah, the accountability part for me, yo, let me bounce, let me get my people out of there. That was a little crazy.

That was a lot. Damn, I forgot what I was about to say. The accountability piece with the naked man and the judge said something about the perception. Oh, the judge was like, I understand that that's your perception of what went on, but no, it's not our job. Because their lawyer kept saying, well, what other reason could he have been, what other reason would there be for him to be naked outside the door if he wasn't trying to R-word? Sleepwalking. Like he kept saying that.

And the final verdict, the judge was like, like you kept saying that, but it's not the court's job to assume why he was out there. Like it's your job to prove. All, but look, even a lawyer's, that's like saying, yo, what was that black guy doing walking down the street at three o'clock in the morning? It's no different. What your perception of me walking down the street is, nigga, I might've just got off work at one.

You know what I'm saying? Like all of that shit. And then that goes into the mindset of the people that you can only perceive this one way. You know what I'm saying? And be close-minded to any other potential. Yo, this shit's scary. Yeah, but that shit, I'm not gonna lie,

it was a little jarring for me. We've been over here over 20 years. Yes. I've never had that encounter. I've never had one encounter. This shit over here is a melting pot. And I tell people that all the time. This neighborhood is not that.

It's not that. It's not that. I've never been unfairly treated around here. And again, we've been here 20 years. Over 20 years. Yes, like I've never had those issues because, dog, you don't know in this neighborhood who you pulling over.

Right. So you can't do that bullshit because you could be pulling over fucking Quincy Jones' son. You could be pulling over Judge Blah Blah Blah's nephew. You don't know who the fuck you pulling over here. Everybody got a couple dollars. I've never had no real racial interactions here.

Never. They start watching the pod. They try to fucking, they brought up some shit Mel said, they was just, they was going crazy. Glad it's over with. Indeed. So happy to be back here with y'all. Learning experience for sure.

Well, last question. What's the building's stance on all of this? Because I know that they were siding with you just in terms of tactics that she was using to just become a nuisance. Y'all do know outside of, let me try to answer you. Outside of my civil case, the state of New Jersey, there's an ongoing battle with entrepreneurs

and people that work from home and what that entails. That's everywhere I think at this point, post pandemic, the entire. It changed the landscape. Yeah, it changed the landscape. They trying to, and I can't speak for everyone else, in New Jersey They back and forth in the paperwork court side of it. Sure. I'm sure it's happening all of us all time Yeah, hopefully

Yeah I even thought about that when I moved to my new place in terms of like the lease agreements and all that shit Because most lease agreements have a commercial clause in there. It's like well, I work from home. So how does this work? And I want to write it off. That's who exactly so So what? The build I'll go ahead you want to put that shit in your company name, etc, etc So it'll just be an easier thing for taxation, right? How do you do that? the building stance as of today because that may change lawyers get involved and

things go different, but the building stance is lawyers get involved and things go different. But the building stance is not only should you be allowed to work from home, but if you say that Joe Budden can't do that there, then you're saying that to the people that Zoom, the people that, the YouTubers, you're saying that to the Twitchers. Streamers. Lawyers. You're saying that to streamers.

Lawyers. Like, you're saying that to... Teachers, because courts have been closed. A lot of people, a lot of courts haven't opened back up. A lot of court is Zoom. Yeah, telemedicine, all of that. All of that shit. So now you're saying that they can't work. Yeah, but I mean, you know that the lawyers jobs

is to put the gray area words in there, which is commercial broadcast. Like, what is commercial? Right. What is that? It's not like we're selling wares necessarily out of the apartment we're podcasting especially in a real estate arena right it's really just residential industrial commercial right and then the industrial commercial could be one in the same you

get I'm saying so if you're not using this particular unit for residential purposes, what's the other outcome? Right. Commercial. You know what I'm saying? So it could get... Nah, but that's why we be making Cory sleep in there. I know. I know. Cory's gotta sleep in there two nights straight.

Nah, I seen a little washcloth with the dial. Yeah, we went. Yeah. The dial. The dial. I said, we went to Bob's furniture, nigga. I furniture. What the fuck are you talking about? No so the building stands and again that is subject to change but I'm not even worried about that right because the blessed part is I'll go buy a place. True. And that'll be

the end. Although even with that you never know what your neighbors, like that's, thank God for my neighbors, neighborhood. Even if you move to the Burbs or whatever it may be, still gotta be careful. The neighbors might trip out and raise the same questions that they would in a... I'm blessed enough to be able to buy something where the neighbors could be a little away. Yeah, for sure. In a freestanding house? Like... The same commercial versus residential shit could still pop up, no matter where you're at. I figured... Resident versus resident.

Because in your house you can do what you want. In your house you shoot whatever the fuck you want to shoot. You can't be having pool parties at two in the morning. Yeah, and blasting music and having the people from the pool party leave and piss on the neighbor's lawn. Right. Like it's what was going on in 2012. I knew what you was talking about. Because why would somebody do that if you have a pool party

now you're going to leave and pee on the neighbor's lawn. She was terrible. The liquor hit you when you was walking to the car. Had to go. That's crazy. Gotta go, gotta go. Find a tree. A bush of it.

The neighbor's lawn. Drunk. Stupid niggas. Anyway, man, listen, glad it. Find a tree. A bush. The neighbor's lawn. Drunk. Stupid ass. Anyway, man, listen, glad it's over. Indeed. Happy to be back with y'all. Happy to be back with y'all. Yes.

Again, extremely grateful for the job that y'all did, most of it. And yeah, man. Yeah. Good to be back. Word. And I'm glad all that shit is over. Word.

I was so glad to be back here. I was here at nine o'clock. He was early. He was early. Hell yeah. I gotta go to Queens? Fuck it. I don't know though.

That shit was a hide a little bit. I'll tell you something. If you didn't have to be serious, like that shit was, that was quite the experience. And they good. I've never been through anything like that. They good at it. They lost.

I know. I'm just telling you though. They lost. They lost. I got the inside. I got the inside. Hey, my God don't play about me. That's it. That's it. I was shocked to see so many people out there that wanted me to lose. Oh my God. Oh my Lord. That's terrible. It's it. I was shocked to see so many people out there that wanted me to lose. Oh my God.

Oh my Lord. That's terrible. It wanted all of us. That shit was shit as hell. Yeah, yeah, it's over for y'all. Now what you gonna do? What is people's obsession with wanting to see me humbled? It's gonna take more than my naked body on sleep.

It's gonna take more than my naked body on sleep It's gonna take more than the little shrimp dick The fuck is wrong with these people now, but anyway time for my favorite part I seen up a Hey Yeah, now I seen it.

But again, I preach this. I preach the importance of getting with companies. I've been on the other side. Yeah, you said that. I've been on the other side of, you know, companies will put the wording, wording in the contract. Hey, if you're charged with something, it's over.

You had to see Park's face light up in Costa Rica.

Talking about, oh shit, Price Bicks works. They faked me out though. They faked me out. Oh man. No, it didn't work. Alright, yo look man, we talking about court and sports. I mean, Fox Sports. Let's get to it. Ah, man.

Let's get to it, freaky sports. This is when the pod officially begins. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, who's introing us? Mel. Mel. Take it away, Mel. Take it away.

Okay. Like Calgon, give it to us. I actually did a summarization of the entire lawsuit. Oh yeah. Okay. Just because I you know wanted to. Did you hurt? Well you know. Hurr-a-thee. Exactly. So a hairdresser over at Fox Sports has launched a lawsuit naming Skip Bayless as a defendant in the lawsuit claiming that he, how would I put this? Sexually harassed her.

Sexually harassed her. Sexually harassed her. Yeah, sexually harassed her. Basically said, propositioned her, I'll pay you $1.5 million if you'll sleep with me. She also alleges that the culture. Scoffed at that. I mean.

Big mouth. Yeah. She also alleges that the culture really just kind of like was, it was a horrible place for women to work. And that's basically it. But Joy Taylor is catching the brunt of the conversation. This shit is wild. So she's a defendant too.

I mean, Joy Taylor is also a defendant. Yeah, but I think this is a big lawsuit. So it's a- Class action- She's trying to turn it into a class action lawsuit. It's three things, right? It's a class. Yeah, but I say this is a big lawsuit. So it's a- Class action- She's trying to turn it into a class action lawsuit. It's three things, right?

It's a class action suit, right? And that's for labor, because she's saying that all the part-time workers, all the casual workers, the hair-dresser, all the people who get paid hourly are getting screwed by the network for stuff like this. Then she's suing the head of- Pull your mic down, Martin. She's suing the head of programming or the executive VP of programming, Charlie Dixon, and Neiman Joy Taylor, who's a major host on FS1,

and Neiman Skip Bayless. So they're getting sued personally, the company's getting sued, and as you said, this class action suit, which is going to be crazy, and actually has implications for everybody in the business who works as a makeup artist, as a hairstylist, as everybody else, so that's really important.

But it's all said, like you said, there's a culture of, they use the word patriarchy, everybody else, so that's really important. But it's all said, like you said, there's a culture of, they use the word patriarchy in the document, of patriarchy, of sexism, of sexual harassment, of all kinds of stuff. What I thought was interesting, well, two things, one was how well documented it was. A lot of times these things be just random allegations.

It's like she had notes of everything. She said she had a journal. A journal, I mean, it was clear, right? And you're like- Let me just jump in to tell the audience. The SA's journal is crazy. It's all the hairstylists and MUAs know the tea. Everything.

Yes, for sure. Yes. It is their job and gig to know the tea and that's across the board, so. And they microphone the makeup room at Fox Sports. So they literally, they're recording at all times. That's why Skip, and they say in the lawsuit, Skip was like, the room is bugged.

So he would text her, or allegedly, or try to talk to her outside of the makeup room, because that's where all the stuff. The spy cameras are? Exactly. So there's been a couple of responses. So Fox Sports response, Fox Sports has acknowledged that the seriousness of the allegations,

but has refrained from further comment due to pending litigation. Skip Bayless' response. So they said nothing. Yeah, as the latest reports, Skip Bayless and his representatives have not publicly commented on the suit. Shannon Sharp was.

Skip is at Wayne's house. Skip is at Lil Wayne's house right now. Shannon Sharp wants to make it absolutely clear that he has absolutely nothing to do with this. Don't bring his name into shit. I wasn't there, just don't. That's facts. I'll take a small order of cappuccino.

That's facts, but that's facts. Yeah, and as far as I know, Joy Taylor has yet to say anything, but. Joy went to work. Joy went to work. Joy went to work. Joy went to work. Covered up. Covered them up. And Emmanuel Acho deleted some stuff.

Cause he did. Now that's my man right there. Hold up. You know the internet gonna keep the fouls. Yes they did. The internet kept the fouls. Hold up now. There's a lot of horny clips that went out this morning.

Shout out my cohost, Joy Taylor. A woman, a black woman, daily woman daily show sports do you all realize how hard it is to get into the position that she is in she put it on that nigga sports and we don't even care what women have to say in sports but joy is not only put the sauce on television as a woman as a black woman talk to my opinionist. So not just asking them what they think, but providing her own unique and distinct insight.

It's hard to do, enjoy. All right, shut your ass up. Two things can be true at the same time. Yeah, he went wrong. He's absolutely, he's not wrong. We know where that's coming from. Yeah, but he was in it. But you feel like he was incentivized to say that because of the-

Yeah, come on. You think he's wrong, though? He's not wrong, but he just left the crib. He did it right outside the crib. You know, she put it on him. Yo, don't forget. That's what the internet said. The internet said he's right outside of her crib, in his car, in a t-shirt, smelling his

finger every time that he says something. See, you know, the picture they had, they sitting there, he got the blanket across his lap, they sitting on the couch. With some wine, too. With some wine. Come on, man. They had some k sitting there, he got the blanket across his lap, they sitting on the couch. With some wine too. Come on man. They had some kinky shit more. And the wine, listen, wine have the same effect they'd be having on Mel. You know Mel gets some wine.

Wine? That's hate. Oh my lord. Let me just read the part of this that is the most, I think, detrimental to Joy's reputation currently. Just because the court of public opinion is gonna do what it does. That one sentence. And this is fucking nuts.

A few months after meeting Mr. Ocho at the lunch, Ms. Faraji, who is the plaintiff, plaintiff? Oh yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, the introduction. Notice him in the hallway at work. Ms. Farajee later asked Ms. Taylor if Mr. Accio also worked at Fox. Ms. Taylor confirmed and explained that she wanted Mr. Accio to eventually recommend her on the show, Speak for Yourself. Ms. Farajee became alarmed and warned

Ms. Taylor that she should probably not sleep with Mr. Dixon and Mr. Accio at the same time as Mr. Dixon is a very powerful man that may become very angry. Ms. Taylor told her not to worry about it. She explained that she was also now powerful, and once Mr. Dixon was no longer useful to her, she would follow through on her plan to tell the company that he had forced himself on her. She would not allow herself to be forced out

by Mr. Dixon like other women talent. Mm, yeesh. That's disgusting. That's the only thing. Wanna preface all of this with, we don't know that any of this is true. True, yeah. I think that that's important to note.

But, I got a job to do. I'ma assume it is. No, no. You're assuming it's true? No, no, I'm not assuming it's true because No, no, no. You're assuming it's true? No, no, I'm not. I'm not assuming it's true because I don't believe that Skip Bayless offered 1.5 million to get some pussy. And if he did.

I don't think you have a point. I believe he might have just think he was talking shit. I think he might have said it. No, no. Like as a joke. Yeah, just talking shit. No, no, no. From that lawsuit, it seemed like he was pressed to get her attention.

What's the no that you're saying? That no, he didn pressed to get her attention No, he didn't offer point five Believe that he offered money compensation to get pussy That's possible, but no Plausible, I think it's more than nowhere near that number. Okay, So if she put that number in her lawsuit, I don't believe that. So now I must not believe this shit. Are you doing that based on the number or because of the picture you saw? I'm basing it on the number. The number.

But why is it so hard to believe that he could just say some wild shit? 1.5 million. I don't think it makes sense. Let me ask you. He could have said it and just been talking shit. No, exactly. I agree. Why do, and you my man, why do y'all immediately give all the time credence to that?

Like the same way you saying why do you believe that? Why is it not viable that we don't believe it? What I'm saying is I don't know one way or the other. I don't assume it's not true, and because I've been in this business long enough to see what men say, particularly men like Skip, and I don't know Skip personally, but I. Then what particularly men like Skip. And I don't know Skip personally, but what does men like Skip mean?

Older aging men who use their power. Who abuse their power. Who are insecure and who are constantly battling for stuff. I'm basing that on, I'm not talking about women right now. You don't really give me insecure by the way. Oh, uh oh. You'd be surprised. I'm only talking about what his peers and colleagues

have said to me. Okay. So again, I don't know him, so I could be wrong. But based on his personality, he fits a type that I've seen, and having worked at Fox, of powerful hosts, powerful producers, powerful people, and they do shit like that. And if you don't want to give them none, they go harder. They text you, they offer you gifts, and they just keep raising the stakes because it's their ego to chase you.

I don't think, Skip Bayless is notoriously cheap, right? Like Steven A said, he don't think he Skip Bayless is notoriously cheap, right? Like, like, Stephen A said, he don't think he can give him $50. $15. Right, $15. I'm not saying he would have done it, but it doesn't surprise me that people floss money. To say it facetiously.

Or to see what you gon' do. Just to see what you gon' do. Like, yo, if I gave you 1.5, would you give me some pussy? Like, that's not a crazy thing to say to somebody, just to see what they think. When you talking, that's all I'm saying. I'm just saying he talking shit. Yeah. Yeah.

But I don't believe it, or not believe it. I'm saying, I don't know. But I wouldn't believe it or not believe it. I'm saying I don't know. But I wouldn't dismiss her. This woman's stuff was so well documented, all the other stuff. It's like people so easily believe the stuff against Joy, but find this part to be so hard to believe. I'm saying all of it is equally questionable.

I don't necessarily believe everything about Joy either. And it's two totally different things. The things that they are accusing Joy of, I've never met Joy in my life, and I have friends that are super duper close to her. So I want to be respectful, but if we don't just call a spade a spade, it's a lot of women that sleep their way to the top.

They do. So that's not something that would be- No, I'm talking about that statement, the statement of I would say he forced himself on me. I didn't, oh, I didn't take that part. That's the part I'm talking about. That's the part I'm talking about. That's the part I'm talking about. But, but, well hold up. Are you of the belief that there are women out there

that are of that thinking? Or to play the game like that? Of course. Okay. Again, I'm not. Okay, just checking. And that number's growing. I just gotta check the. Because that's part of the sleeping your way to the top because now, if you are in a position of power,

and I'm sure, I'm a thousand percent sure, their bylaws, we talk about condo bylaws, these niggas' bylaws say, if you are in a position of power, you shouldn't be having any romantic relationships with just subordinates. Correct. So the second that you had any type,

if you tongue kiss me, nigga, you want a hook. I got you. I got you. But that's different than saying he forced himself on me. I know, but now I always have that in my back pocket as my trump card or my big joker to lay it out anytime anything happens, because the lady also said that,

yo, she said now I'm powerful. So that's my power, That's my Mike Tyson punch. My issue is how we think about this conversation, right? This is the part where y'all go say this is what you was expecting, but you, you capin who have I came for? He didn't even open up his fucking mouth. I haven't came for anybody. I'm not caping. I'm saying, I'm saying, I'm saying that there's a whole system in place that denies women access to

these jobs. It's men who put women, by denying them jobs and saying the only way you're going to get a job is if you have sex with me, that's a system. And so Joy did what a lot of people do, in the same way Stephen from Django did it, right? It's a sexist system, but it sounds like if the allegations are true, she has replicated sexism. She has become the very person that we're trying to stop. So I'm not capable for Joy to be clear. I'm saying she's wrong.

If this is true, she's 1,000% wrong and she should be punished the same way everybody else is. So I'm not taking that away from her, but I'm just saying, I think we should focus more on the system that makes it so that the only way a woman can be powerful is if she has a trump card like that, as opposed to saying, I'm qualified for this job, I deserve this job, I should get this job.

That's all I'm saying. Even if you're right, nigga, I don't fell asleep. Whatever, man. I ain't gonna hold you, I'm gonna start snoring at that fucking. Just stay in your seat. And sedressed. I agree with everything you said,

but I Just think the world is the world. I think people play they cards how they get dealt and And and I said but women get dealt fucked up cards is all I'm not disagreeing But and and is their choice Yeah dolphin legend I ain't gonna keep it. I mean yes women get dealt fucked up cards I don't know if joy falls into that boat even though she does she fucked up cards. I don't know if Joy falls into that boat. Even if she does, she is moving around. I don't know. Look, even if she does, Joy Taylor

is being talked about right now. She earned that, however she earned it. We've all done some shit, shady shit, questionable shit to get to a level of advancement. We all have done that. And that's just a part of the game. Now, if you are saying I would take this. Yeah, I ain't real. I've been on the other side of the stick

during my advancement. No, but not necessarily anything crazy. Yeah, niggas have done some funny shit. I'm just saying that if you are gonna accuse somebody of some heinous shit, that's fucked up. That was voluntary. That's fucked up.

I agree. If that is the case, that's the worst. That's the worst. Because because on the flip side, if she's making it up, the hairdresser is making up making it up that joy never actually said those things, then that is super fucked up just to advance her cause. I would agree. So we don't know what happened,

but this is a really fucked up position for Joy to be in because of the fact that nobody knows. There's no video. There's no video, and as far as we all know, there's no recording of that particular thing being said. And that is the most. I feel for Joy. I think Joy's the victim in this.

And also I think The victim? Yes A little bit she getting dragged into some shit My nigga I ain't did nothing to nobody I'm not suing you niggas She's the victim but she didn't do it No she's the victim period

Wait if the suit is true she's still the victim? Yes Yes What do you mean? Her suit is her suit The hairdresser suit is her suit? Why you bringing other people into the suit? Joy ain't suing a motherfucking person.

Joy's being sued for having done things to... What did she do? I can fuck who I wanna fuck. I ain't do nothing. If I fucked my way to the top, that's my motherfucking business. Keep that shit over there. This was the part.

I didn't do nothing to nobody. When does my body, my choice come into play for you? When does it come into play? You can always you can I don't have a problem with Spring rolls up in this bitch. A little cheese steak. I want you to answer him.

Yeah, I am. I don't have a problem with who she fucks. If she wants to fuck everybody in that company, she can. I don't have a problem with that. I have no issue with that. The issue I took was the issue we were talking about with the quote. If she's not only fucking her way to the top, as they say,

but also creating a situation where once it stops working, she is now going to implicate the people she had sex with for basically sexual assault. That's not what she said, though. She said if they try to get her out of this, I have a truck parked up front. Yeah, and I was gonna say, he forced himself on me. Isn't that the same thing?

No, it's not. But Mark said once it stops working, Mark said once it stops working, Mark said once it stops working, then she would go file charges. That's not what she said. She said that if she started fucking the other dude and homeboy got mad and tried to use it against her, she got a trump card.

So if I'm fucking blah, blah, blah, and you try to fire me for that, I got something to tell you. I understand, but in essence, doesn't that necessarily mean that the plan has stopped working? No. It means that you got mad that I'm not fucking you no more

and I'm fucking this person, and now you're going to try to blackmail me. You can't blackmail me because I got the Trump card. But the Trump card is to lie and say he forced himself on you. Yeah, I said that's wrong. That's the only issue. I said that is wrong. No, I know, but I'm saying it's a flip question.

That's my issue with it. My issue is not. That's what I said. That is wrong. No, I know, but I'm saying to Flip's question. I got you. That's my issue with it. My issue is not who women fuck. Women can fuck women as well. Oh yeah, that's what I said. That's what I said. The system to me is the issue. A system where you have to fuck your way to the top

is the problem, but I'm not blaming an individual woman for having sex on the way to the top. And also. So tell me why she not the victim. No, go ahead. You can answer that. Because of this, my critique of her is not the sex part. Again, it's just that one line

that we said is the most damning thing, right? If she said that thing and was intending to do that thing, to say that the person that she voluntarily had sex with forced himself for her, I'm saying that would be, that would make her not a victim. That's the only thing I'm saying. But she never said it. If she's doing that in retaliation

to you doing something to him, I mean to her. So you get mad that I'm fucking somebody else. And now you're trying to cost me my job. So now I'm retaliating to you. Yeah, I don't buy even. And I'm saying they both be fucked up. There's no way I'm going to defend that, but I understand. Yeah, I'm not trying to defend them.

It's just like she's back in the corner. That's all I got. Because at the end of the day, I couldn't advance without fucking you. She's just like, she's back in the corner. That's all I got. Because at the end of the day, you, I couldn't advance without fucking you. You made that, you made that. I just want to say for the record on the Joe Button podcast, Mark is the one criticizing a woman for fake allegations. Y'all the one defending her saying

her back is against the wall. So when the people come out with the capes right now, they meet his cape. Definitely not the fake allegations. We don't even know if the girl ever said it. No, this is all conditional. Everything is conditional and if it's true, I'm saying if this is true, that's fucked up.

But if she did say it, I ain't sue a motherfucking person. My podcast was supposed to start this week. Her podcast, season two, was supposed to start this week. I've been pressing refresh since Monday. I've been looking for the new episode of Joy Taylor's podcast for a week. Like dog, now I gotta tuck my shit because some shit I didn't even bring to the public.

Is that true? Her pod with Taylor Brooks? That's the one I've been looking for. Oh yeah, no, from what I understand, Taylor has stepped away from the podcast due to increased responsibilities in her other professional endeavors. Smart, smart.

That's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, I know. And I do with that. And I do believe that. And I do believe that. Yeah, she got her Amazon show, Blake Griffin, they bring it on, they spending money on it. Taylor Rooks is a rising star. So I'm not mad at her wanting to get far the fuck away

from any of this. And here's the other thing about Taylor Rooks. In comparison to Joy, everybody, it seemed to open up the conversation about how Statistically how many women actually take advantage of you know the abuse and power and being a part of the system and sleeping the way They're way to the top. This is now being made to Women are being made to seem like this is a regular occurrence and this is what a lot of women do And I don't agree with that. I this is what a lot of women do and I don't agree with that. I don't think a lot of women do it.

I think some women do it. I think the system makes it successful. I think there's such a risk involved with doing it because you can fuck a motherfucker and then he says, you know what, I'm not going to give you shit. Since the beginning of time, a woman would throw her weight around and the weight would be the vagina. I know this. I can't exactly know this. At the beginning of time, a woman would throw her weight around and the weight would be the vagina. If a man is not really giving into her intellect or what she could bring to the table.

Women throw pussy around in these offices. I disagree. I disagree. I give you a perfect example, right? When I worked at Fox News, I worked on... Can I say this? Can I say this? Yeah, I can say this.

I worked on the O'Reilly factory with Bill O'Reilly, right? Traitor. I was on the visiting team. I was the one to argue with it. And I would come on and see these different, very articulate, attractive, conventionally attractive, blind white women debating him. And they all had regular spots.

And as the years went on, almost all of them that I knew sued him for sexual harassment and said that the only way they could get that job was either to have sex with Bill, I'm sorry, they sued Fox, not Bill. Some sued Bill, some sued Fox. And they said it was either to have sex with Roger Ailes, to have sex with Bill O'Reilly, all these people. Were they qualified?

Yes. Were they talented? Yes. But there were a lot of people. Were they qualified? Yes. Were they talented? Yes. But there were a lot of people who also were qualified and talented. So out of 100, maybe the four made it to the top. So 96 women, to Mel's point, don't do it. But the four that do it afford that one.

And that's part of the system. So most women don't sleep their way to the top. I didn't say most of them, sorry. But then your math is off. Because wouldn't you only need to look at the women that made it to the top? Exactly. And not the entire field.

To determine what? To determine how many of them slept their way to the top versus how many of them worked their way to the top. The rest of the field don't get to the top. Because they don't get to the top. Right, but I don't presume that everybody at the top has slept their way. I'm saying just in that particular case.

But your percentages, it wouldn't be 96 didn't. It would be how many women are at the top and now how many of those. I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm saying that there were lots of women who appeared on the show. I was, the four are the ones who got a regular spot. They all appeared, they all were TV people.

So they're all in the business, but I'm saying to get to the best jobs and at the top of the top, those are the ones I think that are often getting plucked out to do things. Do you think that the women that do get to the top, they go in there with the intent of, I know what he wants, I know what I have to give him to get here? I'll tell you this, I don't know.

I can tell you, just having in my own personal experience, having dated women in the business, when they come home, I know the stories they tell me about what they endure. What they endure. Yeah. Yeah. I heard that as love, okay. And it's actually rare that I don't hear some inappropriate shit. Listen, I know y'all having a really

intelligent conversation right now. Do you want to say something before I say something totally ignorant? I'm going to say something really ignorant. Go ahead. Now you got it. I don't want to just shit on the women that are fucking their way to the ring. Go ahead. Now you got it. I don't wanna just shit on the women that are fucking their way to the top.

Is that right? Because a good part of me says, you should, you gotta probably be pretty good at fucking if you fuck your way to the top. You don't. I don't know that. Wait, hold on. I'm gonna tell you why you don't.

That's not true. Because a lot of the men who are doing the fucking are like a million years old, and when you get a certain age. So it's good to them. What I'm saying is you ain't gotta be good at fucking, you just gotta be young. Like a lot of time it's their ego,

you're fucking their age. You know what I mean? When you turn 60 and you get a 25 year old girl, she ain't gotta be that good at fucking for it to be a thing for you. That's all I'm saying. Listen, they say don't judge it. Go ahead.

You're wrong. A nigga that is worth, I'm gonna throw a number. I'm gonna let you throw the number out. A nigga that's worth, I'm gonna throw a number. I'm gonna let you throw the number. A nigga that's worth 30 million. He's fucked up. If that's his thing, he can fuck 100, 200, 300, 20 something year old pretty women.

Yeah, but it's power. Don't move the goalpost. If you have that much money, you can fuck a bunch of young women. And only a few of those young women you selected to move to the top, that means those women presented something that the other 98 did not.

You said among that pool. I see what you're saying. So the ones to Joe's point, and this is some ignorant shit I'm just going to say. They fucked better. They made them feel better than the other ones that was fucking them. Maybe, you know what, I don't know.

They got the tricks. They got the tricks. they got the tricks. Dog, we all been single men before. We fucked a lot of women before. I can speak to every nigga in this room, I know them. They fucked some quality women. They fucked a bunch of women before. It's a few women that got extra perks.

It's a few women that you would get out the bed at three o'clock in the morning. They do the tricks, man. They do the tricks. You don't think that you speak from a privileged position? No, I think I speak from a male position. No, you speak from a privileged position? No, I think I speak from a male position. No, you speak from a privileged position. You're not a man.

I don't have to be, I have fucking eyes. You speak from a privileged position of being fucking attractive. You know what I'm saying? You could be broke and a bitch is going to fuck you. When you look like Roger fucking Ailes, you know what I'm saying? It's the power and the money that you use to abuse in order to get the pretty young girls to fuck you. That's basically it. That's the only reason why she would. Melissa Ford, who you think could get more pussy, me or Rick Ross?

I actually cannot answer that question confidently. I bet you can't. I mean currently you are in a fiance, so probably him. Which speaks to my point. Who you think have more pussy in their life? Me or... Trick Daddy. Any nigga with some... Wow. So what's your point?

I truly do not, I cannot make that... No disrespect to Rick Ross. No disrespect to Rick Ross. But Melissa, it's not a privilege to be attractive when you start talking about these particular settings. Power, money. When you start talking about the money and the power, that shit don't have nothing to do with...

Exactly. That shit don't have nothing to do with when a woman is moving around for a man, I got 40, 50, 60, 70 million dollars. How you look might just be a cherry on a sundae. Okay. This particular case, Charlie Dixon, I don't believe that he's worth 20 30 40 million fucking dollars I'm not Gatekeeper he's a gatekeeper. Okay, he might he might be the conduit to you making 10

20 million 30 million and he is which is why joy was also wrong and not just a victim here because when he allegedly Touched the makeup artists inappropriately She reported it reported. She told it to joy and joy said let it go she said don't rock the boat don't rock the boat again if if if if if listen to me if if we had a makeup artist here and that person clearly Which clearly we don't. Clearly we don't. It's very clear. It's just like... This couldn't be more obvious than we do not. If I did something inappropriate to that makeup artist

and then they go to you or Joe or Mel or somebody and say, yo, Mark did this and she said, yo, don't say shit, this the fuck of your job, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's a power dynamic. That's wrong. It's not just an opinion, that's wrong. That's not true.

Now, I don't want to sound like a creep. Yo, it's wrong for somebody to not just an opinion. That's wrong. That's not true. I want to sound like a creep. Yo, it's wrong for somebody to do that to you. Yes. Now, if you come to me as a friend and say, yo, Parks did X, Y, Z to me, I'm going to quit. As your friend, I might say, yo dog, you have children. Yo dog, you have a mortgage. Yo dog, you just got engaged. You have all of these things. Don't make an emotional, irrational decision

without thinking it through. But that's apples and oranges. Or, I mean, look, hold on, hold on. We're peers. If a makeup artist does it, the host has the ability to decide whether the makeup artist works or not. It's a power dynamic.

That's why it's not apples to apples. You see what I'm saying? Good point, that's a power dynamic. That's why it's not apples to apples. You see what I'm saying? That's a great point. That's all I'm saying. If I said, yo, Parks, I showed you on the dog, Parks keeps touching me. And I go to... I don't like that.

I mean, it's not. And I go to... Keep your hands to yourself. Keep your hands to yourself. And I go to Joe and say, yo, Joe, Parks. And he says, yo, leave that shit alone, right? That's a power dynamic. I don't do this stuff, by the way.

No, he... Parks says you have to touch me. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm saying that we're not gonna sit here and just act phony and like niggas won't be like, yo, turn the other way for some money. Or she could be telling her, yo, if you make a big issue here, this could fuck up your job and future jobs

because of who he is. I'm trying to look out for you like, yo, I get it. Yeah, but your boss can't do that. I said it better than me. That's where I was going. I said it better than I get it And it could have been some friendship that she said it But this literally is a description as to the culture that she's talking about and the culture being extremely toxic And chauvinistic and imbalanced. That's literally the lot the lawsuit Yeah, but if there's no toxic cultures, then there will be no more docs.

That's a very good point. Twitter would be boring. Yeah, like I want the Fox Sports doc. I was grateful for the Luigi Mangione doc. They already got a doc for them? Yeah, they got some shit. Hulu, right? Yeah, you know it.

That should be about a week later. Like Impact, yeah. Okay, but know it. You know it. That should be about a week later. Like impact, yeah. Okay, but wait, hold on a second here. How did Jamel catch a straight? Because I know you were defending her on Twitter. Oh yeah, because. Because AB said, ain't nobody wanna fuck Jamel. Out of nowhere.

What's wrong with him? That's the thing. Like why? That shit ain't have to happen, man. That shit corny, man. I just don't like this shit. Do they have issues with each other? He doesn't like Jamel apparently he told me later

because he hit me afterward after I responded. I said, yo, because I said to him, I said, yo, why you coming out of system like that? That shit corny, right? And he was like, but it's okay when she comes at me. But it's like, she was criticizing you for your behavior on the court, on the field, excuse me. She was criticizing your antics.

That's different than just saying, I don't know, out of nowhere, nobody wants to fuck Jamel. Like that's not cool. I don't like that kind of shit, nobody wants to fuck Jamel. Like that's not cool. I don't like that kind of shit. That's not cool at all. Yeah, that's not. Mm. I hate, I hate y'all niggas, man.

Nah, if somebody cut it. Nah, I'm shooting right back, nigga. This is the way it's shooting back when she come at me. That's how it go. I mean, she did shoot back, but why the fuck should she have to? She is a fucking, she's an accomplished,

intelligent, dignified, married fucking woman. Leave her the fuck out of this. She's minding her own business. Minding her own black business. Just like Trick Daddy was a few minutes ago. If she, if she, if she told... I love Jamel, but... Shout out to Jamel.

But, if a nigga with CTE wanna crack a joke, then I might laugh. I might laugh. Take her to the house, nigga. I might laugh. Like, we know that Antonio Brown is a couple screwdri drivers short of a toolbox. And you just gotta, I was laughing at you.

Me and my girl had a blast laughing at you. Because you'll take up the fight. You'll talk to the CTE dude like, yo, my brother. Trying to reason with him. Peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace. You're talking to our sister. Antonio Brown. I know,, peace, peace, peace, peace, peace. You talking to our sister. Yeah, Antonio Brown. I know, I know, I know.

I don't do it because I think Antonio Brown gonna act different. It's more so that the people watching this conversation get something from it. Like, yo, we ain't gotta do this shit. We ain't gotta do drive-by. Mark's such a great guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shout out to Jamel Hill. Listen, again, more ignorant takes from Joe. Ignorant takes some joke. I wish that fucking your way to the top for women were more popular today than put an essay on men. Because that's been the game for the last, I wanna say post pandemic. Since pandemic, it seemed like some women can just throw a lie on you.

And it sticks. It sticks, your career is ruined. I get my nuttiest money and here we go. I got a little push back. Give it to me. You know, I usually ride one of these. That's kinda the get back. The pendulum swinging the other way now.

Yeah, like y'all have had all of this power for all of these decades, and now we getting a little bit of the power back. I wish there was another way. This really bothers me. I wish there was another way for it. It really bothers you, man. It bothers me because the real losers in this situation

are actually victims of sexual assault. These are the real losers in this situation are actually victims of sexual assault. These are the only losers in this particular situation because they very, very few cases where a woman does what Joy is alleged to do or had been planning to do or carried out. These are the ones that make the big fucking headlines and everyone's like, see, look, the pendulum swing too far in the other direction, me too was fucking bullshit, this is what bitches do, and it's like, no, it's not, okay? There's a few fucked up apples in the bunch of women

that were actually victims and this does nothing to help their cause. And that's what really frustrates me with this particular part of this. I agree with everything you're saying. I'm just saying that the few is bigger than what we say. We'll never ever ever have a full grasp of what the statistics actually are.

We'll just never know. It's not possible. Yeah. Because so many women that have been assaulted or. God knew not to give me no pussy. Let me have a pussy. Shit. Y'all right now.

Fucking went right to the top. Oh my God. I'm telling you, you might have some trash. Oh my Lord. Shit. You never know. You never know. You know what I'm saying?

Your box might have been trash. Every girl think they shit is fire. Well then you gotta learn to do something with the trash. Right? Go look and skip new followers. Put some Popsicle in that thing. You liar. Go look. It was like, how much some pie salt in that thing. You liar. Go look.

They was like, how much? He give it out 1.5? 1.5? That bitch is in there like. So all y'all would give it up for 1.5? They would give it up for a fucking apple pie. See? See?

Nigga, we saw you after the fake Lotto game. You would give it up for 1.5. Oh, word. All y'all niggas would. Oh, no, I would! We've seen you. I absolutely would. Okay, okay, so we'll flip. And Skip catch me on the right day right now. Nah, the funny shit, they said, they said, Flip was like, Flip said, I mean not flip,

Skip said, ain't you Muslim? Yo, that was wise. That was crazy. Yo, and that's my topic that I've been suppressing, but in a future episode, I'm coming with the Muslim freaks. The ones that, I can't say it, but the ones that we're to say. Don't say it, bro. Just let it go. I followed some, I've had a few of those.

Some of the Muslim freaks, right? Yeah, yeah, I grew up in Muslim, not grew up, I spent much of my life in the Muslim community and yeah, just, you know, but what's the? Muslim freaks, that's the new church freaks. Yeah. The old church freaks. The old church freaks.

Different church. Different church. Different church. What's skip wife name to some old shit like Gretchen? Ernest Dean. Ernest Dean. Ernest Dean. Winifred.

Yeah. Yeah. Phyllis. Phyllis. Oh my lord. Oh man. Rest in peace Aunt Phyllis. I lost my aunt a couple days ago.

Rest in peace Aunt Phyllis. I love you. She's transitioned into a much better place now. So shout out to Aunt Phyllis. Shout out to my family. For sure. Oh man. Yeah, if you're the wife name is Gretchen or some shit. Trash box. She's transitioned in a much better place now. So shout out to Phyllis, shout out to my family. For sure. Yeah, if you're the wife name is Gretchen or some shit.

Trash box. A skip. If your name is Ernestine, you got a trash box. Oh, man. Hold on now. You know how you go see the houses that was built in 1931? They got good foundations. They got good walls.

They got good foundations. Good foundation in there. The bones is good. Yo. Damn. Look, the real 2x4s. That's real 2x4s right there. They don't make no house like this. My boys, bedrooms don't even be this size. I'm telling you.

They ain't come throw some shit on you. Your grandmother got some good mouth skin. What? Somebody said that to the grandkids? That's crazy. I saw that. That's some good mouth skills. I want to laugh.

I want to take a moment to laugh. And this is a dude that I will never bring up on this broadcast, but today I'll make an exception. Did y'all hear what Jason Whitlock said? Yes. Yes. I hate that nigga. Now, I've seen everything as it relates to this because I've been searching Joy Taylor

since last, whenever this news broke. But. Let me play. I'll say it. Stop. Yo, wait, hold up. He said that shit publicly. Let me play it.

That went ahead. Why he said that shit publicly. I know what I'm capable of. That big rack of hers that she showed off. That peanut butter. It's just, and that peanut butter skin with that big rack. Like, they keep your distance. Oh, they're playing it again.

So, man, what's he capable of? Jason Whitlock. Holy shit. Hold up. Let me play it again. I know what I'm capable of. And that big rack of hers. They show up constantly. Peanut butter skin. It just and that peanut butter skin

So my question is What you capable of I want to to ask that to Mel. What? You see how confident he is? Jason Whitlock? Uh huh. Yeah. Why you think that come from just a foreign place? I think it's the Kruger Dunning effect.

The who now? The what? Freddy Kruger. Freddy Kruger's not alive, nigga. Who's Dunner Mifflin? Who's Dunner Mifflin? Mark. Nope.

It's all you. Yo, why does Jason Whitlock think that he would have went to town on Joy Taylor? Cause Jason Whitlock got some bread, got some fame, and probably is accustomed to giving it out. Well that's what he said about two minutes after that clip, he said, throughout my time in the business, women have come to me a lot and offered me stuff for like an exchange for a TV position.

Which speaks to what we saying. You ain't gotta be the beauty spot to be getting. I call a camera. Yo, and shout out to y'all, right? These man girls out there that offered me some pussy to get a pot, a pot deal, hey, come up here for a second. We sitting on them?

No, no shit on them. Oh, I was about to say. Get to it, mama. I'll work out. Get to it. Get to it. I'm going back on vacation. Oh, man. Yeah.

But if you're gonna do it to Jason Whitlock, can we? What, that's it? That's it, that's it. My bad, my bad. I didn't mean to hit you. What? But it's called for. She exchanging goods, services.

Bitches are giving up to come far. Man, girls was fucking the promoter in the club. What? What are we talking about? To get to this point in the line, nigga. It's on national TV. Yeah, talk about it. Can we talk about some of the dudes the girls used to fuck?

That's hate, right? No. Because I'm not mad at the girl fucking the promoter. The girl that fucked the photographer inside, it was like, come on. Nah, not seven days, seven nights. Not when that shit was out. Not when seven days, seven come on. Nah, not seven days, seven nights. Not when that shit was out. Not when seven days, seven nights was out. Oh my God.

What's popping down there? All the parties. She riding on herself. I am not. Give me a pound, man. You better retract that bullshit. I'll take it back. Not you. You better Seven days seven nights bitches was in Mars 2112

To be on the front page of the website everybody see yeah now on page 97 Every time y'all bring some up. I feel like it was one of the best times of my life. It was, you said March 21st. Seven days, seven nights. What's poppin.net. Johnny Nunes. Good times. Listen, my heart goes out to Joy Taylor. I do think it's a shame that she's getting dragged more than Skip.

No, I agree with that. She should not be getting dragged more than Skip. That's the patriarchy. That's the patriarchy. Skip is just getting these jokes, like, oh, this nigga paying a million and a half for pussy. But like, if Skip was one of the most powerful people at FS1, if he did what he was alleged to do,

his shit to me is- Niggas pay for pussy, yo. Yeah, but you can't pay your employees for pussy. Niggas pay. Nigga, you be married for man long, you go through mad shit, if shit can come in easy, just go ahead and pay. Then get a sex worker.

I'm not a getting a sex worker. I'm saying, don't fuck it. They are sex workers. There's no thrill in the second. No, listen. There's no thrill. What the fuck are you talking about? Here's the truth, Mark.

They work for you. You can't fuck the people that work for you. They got two jobs. Listen, if I work in TV, I can't fuck my employees. There's no thrill in this. They moonlight him by the moonlight, nigga. What are you talking about. There's no thrill in somebody that gives it up easy. Like sometimes the chase is good. You ain't hear what he said in the suit.

The skip says the more you say no, the more I want you. Yeah. That's the beginning of the time. That's predatory. It is wrong. Yes. We know predatory. Listen, niggas of the time, nigga. Nigga, that's predatory. It is wrong, yes. We know predatory don't let you. But listen, niggas pay for sex, bro. Aliyah said if at first you don't succeed,

dust yourself off and try again. Niggas pay not to have a headache because a lot of shit niggas pay for. But why they gotta work for you? I'm not saying don't pay for pussy. I have no issue with people who would pay. Because you're not going outside, nigga. It's convenient.

You right there, it's convenient. You look good, you in my face. Listen, I got 1.5 of you, shut the fuck up, give me some pussy, whatever you nigga. It's convenient. You right there, it's convenient. You look good, you in my face. Listen, I got 1.5 of you. Shut the fuck up, give me some pussy, whatever you want. That's it! Is that it? I ain't gonna stop. You think that's okay?

Why should I be stopped? Because it's the truth, it happens. People don't fucking go over this shit one time. No one is saying it don't happen. We saying it's wrong that it happens. Relax, Mark. That's just a lot of aggression. I don't want no smoke, bro.

I'm just saying. It's not supposed to happen, but that's life, Mark. That's all I'm saying. You acting like it's far. I was wrong. Yes, it's wrong. This should be the happiness of Cleopatra days, nigga. I don't even know what the fuck that means. It's been happening since the beginning of time.

We making it normal. You thought Marilyn Monroe was the greatest actress? Exactly. She actually was a pretty... She was a good actress, but you thought Marilyn Monroe... No one else she was great at. She said happy birthday to the president from the nigga wife, nigga.

No one else she was great at. His wife was right there, bro. She was a great vocalist. There you go, man. There you go. Marilyn Monroe sang happy birthday while the nigga wife! His wife was right there! There you go. Melvin Monroe sang happy birthday while the nigga wife was there. Happy birthday. It's the president. Timeless classic.

She ain't give a fuck! Bro, I got two others. I want to move on anytime I start agreeing with Flip too much. That's fair. That's fair. Let'm not lying. That's fair. Yo, he ain't gonna do it. Let's get out of this. Nah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yo, this shit was so juicy. You just can't fuck your employee. I agree with you. You're like, just start to fuck where you want. I understand what he's saying. I'm saying, as a good rule of thumb,

avoid all this shit. This is how Shannon Sharp is not in any drama right now. He's not named in the suit at all. And that's what he said. I don't know nothing about anything else. I'm saying, just don't fuck people with your work out. I heard what Jason Whitlock had to say. Jason Whitlock is, I mean.

I don't listen to Jason Whitlock unless he's talking about people that I do listen to. Right, just going at Stephen A and some shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jason Whitlock be saying wild shit. And what I will say is this. We're not getting rid of fucking coworkers, by the way. That's never happening.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. That's never happening. No, I'm not saying you have to. I'm just saying if you want to be safe. Sure, that's good. It's a good rule of thumb. It's good advice. But fucking your employees is always a bad.

Does everybody here feel like you should not fuck your coworker? No. At my mature age,. Yes when I was younger. No Yeah, now mark now. Yeah ish No, flip. No, no, I'm against them. No, fuck your co-worker. Yeah, fuck you talking about How about your employees though? No, I won't fuck my employees. I've never fucked none of my tenants no neighbors Neighbors co-workers No, I won't fuck my employees. I've never fucked none of my tenants in my life. My tenants have come to the club. Neighbors, coworkers.

You can't fuck them little Mexicans. It's too close to home. Oh shit. Oh shit. They make this work hard, though. Oh shit. They might feel like they don't need to build that house so fast.

They got some leverage. This is what I was saying. I'm not wishing nothing on nobody. But when I watch ESPN, I could see it. Yeah, you are. Yeah, you are. I've been saying that for like a year. I don't know what's going on.

I've been saying it for a long time on this podcast. When I watch, like, I could see through the onscreen shit. Yeah. It'd be shit to see. The show behind the show. So of course I don't want ESPN to have to go through that. But I'm assuming that many companies had meetings and you know, talks about some of these things.

Reinforce some of the rules. If you have any relations, y'all have to disclose that. Yes, we have disclosure immediately anything y'all kiss We got to know about it cuz not a company got to be have some way to be protected right? Cuz if that employee come back or somebody comes a little waiver Yeah, yeah, yeah y'all have to sign off so that the company's not held liable or whatever y'all do and the problem is they can't Sign because most these executives that do it is married. Yes, indeed. Here you go.

I don't have anything else on the map. I think I've said all the ignorant shit that I need to say about it. Do what you gotta do to get through here. Shout out to the coworkers that are fucking out there. For sure. Shout out to the girls that are fucking their way to the top by doing it the right way.

How about the news, the two people on the news that was fucking each other that got fired, remember them? They didn't disclose it to the public. The white lady and the black guy. The black guy. How do you feel about that? I don't know the story, I don't know the story. Oh, yes you do.

You know the story. Just tell me the story, I don't know. You don't remember, is it born in America or some shit? Is it two co-anchors from, yeah. Oh, famous, oh you're talking about TJ and the. Yeah, yes. Look, that's your man. Oh, TJ.

Yeah. TJ Holt. But he can pass, he can pass. No, my issue with TJ, there's two issues. One is a professional issue. It wasn't him fucking his co-host. Amy something. Amy something.

And they wasn't just fucking had a relationship. They had a relationship. They left their fucking- But he was accused of also fucking the producers, the intern, all these other people. Let me ask you this- That would be my issue. Fucking your co-host is fine if everybody's an adult and I'm kind of- Let me take it off-co-host. If you're a record exec, can you fuck your artists?

No, I don't think you should yeah, I think it's always fucked. I think it's always fucked up I get it happens and I guess sometimes it's genuine, but I think it's fucked up. Okay Yeah, that's my only question wasn't your question Yeah, I just think it's generally generally fucked up because usually some it's hard to be consensual It's hard to be consensual when there's a power dynamic That's the point or or it's a gray area where you don't know's hard to be consensual it's hard to be consensual when there's a power dynamic that's the point or it's a great area where you don't know if it is actually consensual right because she might be or he might be fucking you and assuming everything is power dynamic

everyone's okay with everything it can get sticky and bad for business yeah I agree and relationship in this is a bad rule of thumb in general skip Dyckman DC Atlanta Atlanta LA play places you could buy some pussy for less than 1.5 You buy a lot of pussies for all for less than 1.5. You can get all the pussy Thousand You can buy a lot of pussies for less than one point. For 1.5, you can probably get all the pussies. For less than 1.5 thousand. What the fuck you talking about? 15 hundred get it done.

Go to DR. Hey, we got some girls right there in Dyckman, nigga. They got you. Go to NY. What you gotta get on a boat? What the fuck you talking about? You don't gotta get on no plane, come right to New York. My heart goes out to all parties involved.

Indeed. Shout to the hairdressers, spilling that tea. Ooh. She spilled the shit out of that tea. When the tea is hot. When the tea get hot, all you got to do is talk to the hairdresser. Not shout to her. That's it.

That shit was petting the tea, nigga. Fuck the limping. Wait, why not shout to her? For blowing the lid off of this fucking organization. It's this ring they got going. And she lost her job. Don't bring Shorty into that. Well, she got smoked with Shorty.

That's all I read from that. Yeah, don't bring Shorty into that. You could do got smoke with Shorty. That's all I read from that. Yeah, don't bring Shorty into that. You could do all of that with the entity, with the network, with all of that, without bringing Joy into that. Nah, I got smoke with her. I disagree. And she possibly could have left her name like,

blank, anonymous. She got 25 John Gohs on there as well. But yeah. The Joy stuff adds to the credibility of her story. Right. And it's one of her beefs. Like I went to the person who I work for and she told me to not.

To cover it up. To cover it up. Like that's a legitimate concern. You can still say that without saying all that other shit to her. No, something I agree with. That's why I think there's a beef there. She just wanted to put on blast.

Yeah, exactly. That's what she wanted to put on blast. No, I think she's making a case. She's like, look, the only way she got this job of fucking Acho, allegedly, this person, she got this job by fucking this dude, basically saying the only way she got this job of fucking fucking archo allegedly this person She got this job by fucking this dude basically saying the only way in this company you can advance is by fucking somebody That's not your only example. Hey, there's hate if you the hairdresser. That's your only example exactly There's more than just Joy Taylor that was allegedly doing you got 25

Here's why though. Here's why though. Fuck out of here. Here's why, because you got gossip. It's the difference between gossip and saying she told me this directly. Like when I was in Fox, I knew a lot of people, Bill O'Reilly was fucking, right? But Bill didn't tell me that. You know what I mean?

So I couldn't do that, but I could look at, but when somebody was telling me something directly, I could put that in my nose. You weren't in the hairdresser though. But that's what I'm saying. The hairdresser get it. They get all the gossip. From everybody. But you messed up a everybody. She's not just Jordan.

That's it man. Yeah, yeah. That's right. She took a nigga from old girl. She had a beef with him. Yeah, it do seem like it was a smoke. That's some personal shit. That nigga, Acho had a long day, boy.

Hey, hey, Acho. Hey, you can't delete it fast enough, buddy. No. Yo. Nah, they kept the files. He had some horny ass videos, man. See, but my heart always goes out to the person that's home, in bed, cuddling, and talking to the files. He had some horny ass videos, man.

See, but my heart always goes out to the person that's home in bed cuddling with the current person that they fucking, and some old shit pop up, and now it just rocked your whole Netflix and chill. They pulled out Joy's shit too. They pulled out Joy's shit when she was like, yo, let's keep it a buck. Oh, yeah.

The dude that's handsome, the dude that got some money, the dude that got some power, he got a way longer leash to fuck up than the other people. We'll overlook some shit, the red flags go away. When the nigga got money, power already really, really good looking. That's the fact.

Somebody tweeted, why y'all surprised about this Joy shit? Like she not from Miami. Now, that's horrible to say, and it's not funny. But boy. I understand. Chris Ross said, but I understand. Ocean, ocean.

That dine on the corner, get it? I'm Miami, baby. Oh my Lord, man. Listen, my heart goes out to all. Yeah, Tariq, you're going to have the most fun in Cleveland or whatever. Tariq, you got to be careful what you wish for. Kansas City. Yeah, Tariq can have the most fun in Cleveland or whatever. Tariq. You got to be careful what you wish for. Kansas City.

You got to be careful what you wish for. What else? What else is important, unimportant? We had a little breakthrough. What happened? We started doing our kitchen talk as normal. And Mr. My Dear God has been converted. I wouldn't go that far.

I wouldn't go that far. I'm fucking with you. I wouldn't go that far. No, but Cory made an interesting point, which was that when Joy got into the business, they were, she wasn't a powerful person there. She was a part-timer. She was a fill-in.

And that she got the makeup artist the job on her show, and that neither of them had any power and that they were friends, and so their dynamic and conversation was more as friends than as a boss to employee. I think that's a great point. That changes the dynamic. That changes a lot. It does.

That changes a whole piece of that. And that goes to what I said, when she tells her these things, I'm talking to you as a friend saying, yo, don't make no ripples, don't make no waves, because this could fuck you up. And Shorty goes on to say that every time she went to dinner, when she would pull up in the restaurant, it was Joy and Dixon, Dickerson,

whatever the guy's name was. Charles Dixon. So I'm inviting you in here as my home girl. We friends, we got a personal relationship after hours, I'm inviting you here as my home girl, you know I'm not trying to be funny. Girl, that nigga got some money, girl. Come on in and get that caviar and that shrimp, girl.

That nigga be paying for everything, girl. Get the time of all. Like, you know how this shit go. Like, we actin' like we don't know how that shit go. We know how else that go too, though. Don't say shrimp again, it's trigger. No. No.

No. No. No. No. No. Well, how's that go? A three-twee. Uh-huh. Uh huh.

Dickinson might have got that mic cut. Might have been dickin' him son. He was dickin' him son. Yeah, but nah, so I think that's a very good point. You a freak, yo. Who? You're crazy. I'm a realist, just like you.

Rich niggas. You're a vanilla freak though. You're a freak, but he a vanilla freak. I ain't freaky. You mad freaky. I'm not. Oh, he you. Rich niggas? You're a vanilla freak though. You're a freak but you're a real freak. I ain't freaky. You mad freaky. I'm not. Oh, you got these little sound effects. Yeah, silly but I'm pining.

But dog, we know rich niggas get the grease up. Yes, yes they do. Fuck. Yo, you and you, we were just talking about that the other spot. What? You know what I'm saying? Yo, straighten up.

What were we talking about? I'm just saying about guys with power that will come into a room and put the girls on the PJ. Yo, you and you, you come, we just do something. No, not you and you, you, you, you, you, you, you. No, Terps. Yeah. Do y'all not think I'm speaking to the men now?

What? I wasn't trying to be funny. She did a breath, that was funny. She did love, she said. I did not do shit. Do y'all not think, well, everybody in here is involved, but in the event that you were not, do power dynamics come into play with most people you fuck, even if they don't work with you, just because of who y'all are? Oh, you talking now.

I said up here before y'all, killed me. In every relationship, there is an alpha. Good job Ish. In every man-woman, man-man, woman-woman relationship there's an alpha. So there's a lot of relationships where the woman might be the power dynamic. It's a lot of women that wear the pants in these relationships. Well that's the power dynamic. You're right that's why I do want to ask Mel too the same thing like in in your romantic affairs outside of work, do you feel like there's a power dynamic with you?

Or do you feel like, no? Like you are who you are. No, no. I wouldn't classify it as a power dynamic more than I would classify it as somebody maybe just having a tendency to manipulate. What do you think about that Mark? I don't know. I don't know about those personal relationships to know the answer to that. But do you think that hurt that all of my g-posts are manipulation? no, I

Haven't seen her. I haven't had the privilege seen her I G too much I just thought I'm bothered ads because I'm trying to support the show. Thank you Break the press by itself. Yo, you got to pass. That nigga come to the locker room. But this is like a high-reach. Round of applause for Mark for winning rookie of the year at the JVP.

Round of applause for Mark for winning rookie of the year at the JVP. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Smoke DaMani and J-Wan. This is the second year, I thought. Huh? I thought this was the second year. Clean it up for him, Parbs.

I'm trying to. Clean it up for him, Parks. I'm trying to. Clean it up. Smoke the Monies boots on the rookie of the year vote. A lot less games played. Still won it over E-Bug. Let me keep the applause going for me. One best dressed out this bitch. You know what I mean?

Come on, man. I got to tell you what I can. Tell you what I can't, you know what I mean? All right, y'all don't see me happy, but all right, move on, move on. Let me move on, it's fine, it's fine. This is all I was gonna say to tie this up, is that power's everywhere.

Every relationship got power, every dynamic, as far as whether it's money, whether it's influence, whether it's looks, somebody's more attractive, somebody got more options, there's always power. Education, communication. Education, always power. The question to me is, is the power coercive? Does this power force your hand in ways that aren't fair? That's the only thing I care about. For example, like when you, if you,

if you, if you can't date a CEO, I'm using that as an example, cause I spent a lot of time in prisons. You can't date a CEO, right? Because people do. They definitely do. No, no, I don't. Yeah, I know. They do. But again, to me, that's always, there's no way to know until you leave that prison. You know what I, no. Whether you ever, whether it's fair or not. The part that I don't like about that take is

power is, is. Mark's wrong too. Is cunning. Power is silent. Power is, power can coerce you without a word being said. For sure. For sure. That's my only issue with that. Every girl you've dated, no disrespect.

You know, this is my people's butt. Yo, every girl or a percentage. Who your people's nigga? He knows my wife. Watch your mouth nigga. I'm saying I'm not being disrespectful to her. Most women you've dated, you've been smarter than? Except my wife, yeah.

Like I said. Not, not, not. Minnie, not Moe, not all except Moe. Not all, I. Not, not, not. Not. Not. Mini, not Mo. Not all except. Not all, I ain't say all, but. Clean it up nigga. So that, that is a power down there.

Mark B. Use his brains. Use back in the day. Exactly. Back in the day. Nigga, me and you too. Them co-anchors. What we did, what we did?

We was using our brains. No, no, no. Anyway, yo fam, so if you're saying that power is coercive, when you are talking to a girl and you come, yo dog. Now let's yo fam, so if you're saying that power is coercive, when you are talking to a girl and you, yo dawg, now let's just. I feel what you're saying. But we're frontin' up here. But here's the question, here's the question.

We've talked our way into some pussy. Maybe, sure. But is that your bag? But is it a power? But is that like a, a use- It's coercion, yes. You are using, you are mentally manipulating somebody to potentially do something that they,

you convince somebody to give you some pussy. Convincing isn't coercing, that's the difference. I can charm somebody into making a choice. That's different than- It's not coercion? No. No. No.

No, what I'm talking about- My therapist would agree with this. What are you talking about? I'm talking about people operating against- Your therapist told you the very same thing with regards to dating younger women. Joe, you are way more intelligent than them. You speak better than them. There's a lot of people operating against it. Your therapist told you the very same thing with regards to dating younger women. Joe, you are way more intelligent than them.

You speak better than them. So you can mentally manipulate somebody. You move the goalpost by saying that the person is younger. Coercion is the practice. They don't have to be younger? They don't have to be. Give us some definition. Coercion is the practice of persuading someone

to do something by using force or threats. Oh, that's not coercion. It takes us, so using force or threats. So I think it's not coercion. So it's not coercion. So we're gonna take that out. So definitely not coercion. But the force, and that's why I say when you're somebody's boss, that's coercion. No, no, no.

Okay, yeah. We had a different definition. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's definitely not forceful or coercion. We always talking ourselves into stuff and charming and convinced. That's the world. I ain't got no problem with that.

I just don't want people to be in situations where they feel like they gotta fuck their boss or they feel like they gotta fuck this person. I think that's the R word. Sure, okay, I don't know if I would use that word, but it's at the very least. You gotta fuck me or you fired? I think that's the R word. At the very least, it's harassment.

At the very least, it's a problem. There's a gray area there too, because that's what is presented that way. On the other side, you have people that say, hey, if I fuck him, I might can advance a little bit. I might can do this or that. That ain't coming from the powerful person. That's the subordinate looking to get ahead.

Or going in there trying to seduce the next. We've heard stories of them wearing certain things to an interview. Girls are doing that shit in college, you get the grades changed. They was pulling up all Joy Taylor's old outfits that she wore to work. Every one of them.

That's crazy. Were they provocative? And it's fucked up. I ain't see it. Cuz they ain't gonna let you on the air unless you dress like Ellen. I was just getting ready to say. Yeah, they don't let you on the air if you dress like Ellen. But you gotta wear that shit to get on.

And she's from Miami. Well, that's the sister we're talking about. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The whole thing is fucked up. That's all I'm saying. It ain't Joy Fall. It ain't nobody. I believe that that skip is I'm saying. The whole thing is fucked up. That's all I'm saying. It ain't Joy-Far, it ain't nobody. I believe that that skip is powerful enough

to not have to pay 1.5 to fuck this new shit. I think so too. Have we seen? Dog, if Robert Kraft ain't gotta do it, skip ain't gotta do it. And he makes skip look like a welfare case. Facts. I just think.

Yeah, but he was going to the fucking Rub and Tug. That's how you just got to. Meaning he was going to the place where there was expectation of there being a transactional sexual encounter. Sometimes wifey had to rub and tug, man. That's just, as you a consistent clientele, I'm going here for Barbara.

For Shannon, for Shannon. Shannon. How to get there six days. Yo, Shannon ain't here yet. The fuck? Going over there to get that Nancy Reagan, man. Hey. Wow.

Look at that. Nice. Perfect. Perfect. What that mean? I don't know what that means. She's notorious. Nancy Reagan was known as the throat goat.

Yeah. In Hollywood, in Hollywood. Wait, what are you talking about? And that mouth of known as the Throat Goat. In Hollywood. Wait, what are you talking about? That mouth her took her to the White House. Facts. What did you say? Like good mouth? Skin.

That's a known thing. Her biographer said she used to be known on the MGM lot not just for doing it at night but doing it in the offices. Where the fuck is she at? Dead. Sorry, she passed away. And if she didn't pass away, nigga, she would be well within her 80s or 90s. 100.

Hold on now. Hold on now. Yeah, what you saying? Look, you're a relaxing sport. What you saying? They take the dentures off. They take the dentures off. Relax a little more.

They soften up a little bit. Grandma tell you what happened when the dentures come out now. Take the dentures, right? I don't know. Don't you ever do that again. This nigga, ice go go. Wow know. Don't you ever do that again. This nigga ice go go.

Wow. He can't suck my dick. Exactly. I ain't trying to. He can't suck shit. Exactly. The fuck was that? Damn, Andy Reagan for real?

Andy Reagan, man. Yeah, she was a beast. She was like celebrated for it. She was like the... Tough. She was old. Tough. She was super head before super head.

Yeah. I'm not even, and I ain't mad at super head neither. Nope. I ain't mad at super head either. I ain't mad at super head either. I ain't mad at super head either. I ain't mad at super head either. She was like celebrated for it. She was like the toughest. She was known. Tough. She was super head before super head. Yeah. I'm not even, and I ain't mad at super head neither. Nope. Ain't none of us mad at super head but.

Only one person here that just be mad at super head. One. I'm waiting for the super head app of Hot and Bothered is what I'm waiting for. Do y'all have beef? That'll be good. Hold up, I saw. No, we don't have beef. They have beef, Mark.

Melissa is mad at what Superhead's book did to all of the video vixens. Okay, I'm not mad. She has feelings that she hasn't healed yet.

I didn't know about that book. Again with the narrative, bullshit, no. Mel, you've said this countless times. I didn't say that I'm not healed from it. Why you never stand on that? I'm not saying I didn't that I'm not healed from this. I'm not saying I didn't, I'm not healed from it. I just talk about the, I talk about the event in history from the perspective of which I had it. Currently, I do not feel these things

because time heals all wounds, I'm fucking over it. But it was shitty at the time. I say you gotta piece it up. We haven't technically peaced it up. I haven't seen her. Seen her. No closure. No closure.

Only true healing comes. Gotta get that closure. Does anybody here care about Dreah going to the game with her kid to see her kid? I hate that shit. I hate that shit. I'm sorry. I'm not usually judgmental, but there's something about taking your 22 year old boyfriend to see your 22 year old, or taking your 22 year old kid to see your 22 year old boyfriend

play basketball. Give us some tips. I hate it. Trey is good. I hate it. I just hate it. It might be my own personal shit. I just don't think you should date somebody the same age as your kids. Or that.

That's fair. Works with you. Oh, yeah. Narrowing the pool down. Yeah, to like 99% of the world, right? You can live with that. I don't want to date nobody. I got my kids to.

I agree with that. I'm joking. I definitely. I wouldn't do it. Also, in a little teaser, that's what shook up the vacation house too, Cory. Oh, yeah. That is exactly what shook up the vacation house. It really is.

What, what happened? I could only imagine because I know the people that were there. Oh, I know they was steam coming out their head. Because Cory met some young ladies that were, let's say, 27, 28. Okay okay some people in the house had children that were 27 28 I gotta give it to C Rock man I gotta give it to Cor. Me no speaking. I really gotta give it to Rem.

I really gotta give it to Rem but it still gotta give it to Rem. But it still was on core to even, Rem is Chris Pauling? Yes. Dog. What? No, she's better than Chris Pauling. No, it wasn't Chris Pauling. Stockton, Scott Scowles in that 33 assists game. That 33 assists game.

Jason Williams. Yes. Wow. Yeah, cause we go to the New Year's Eve party, which is at like some bullshit, playing in Hollywood, some out of town bullshit. The only shit that was available to us, we had to make do. Okay.

And we got in there and I did a little scout mission and the two that were in front of us were the best talent in the house. Good talent. Good talent, talented young ladies. Remember the A&R? Shoot, yeah. Well, they didn't speak.

It got my man Cory assigned. They didn't speak much English. There was a translation barrier, but not with all Remaroun. Rim went and stepped right to the business. Facts, quick. And sealed it. Bagged. Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours. And brought them home to Universal. Brought them home to the table, had a blast, was trying to work something out for the night

for whatever reason that didn't happen but they was ready. And then the next day they hit Remi. What you doing? What's up? Corey bum ass. Corey's such a bum, yo. The sister of her. She was doing that shit at your wedding.

Corey the only single nigga in the house. He going to bring these two stallions over. Two stallions? Yes. I can't. I can't. I can't. I miss it. The sister over. She was doing that shit at your wedding. Cory the only single nigga in the house. He gonna bring these two stallions over. Two stallions?

Soon as Cory go get these two, I'm back in the cabana hiding somewhere. You ain't gonna jam me up. Cut my eyes out. No, I don't see nobody. I don't see nobody. I don't need them. Yeah, Keno did the same. And it looked like Corey had rhythm with the tall, beautiful girl that didn't speak much

English and she was ready. She was ready to dip. Let's go back to night. It's party time. Party time. And then somewhere within a course of like five minutes, Corey is now not on the tall, beautiful girl. Switched on him. He switched and got on the short stall like that from core that's a mistake I

didn't like that from Cory you gotta be singular in your target in these situations that was really disgusting of you how you switched like that so then he was hugged up or or or extra communicative with this. What you clapping about? Oh, you think that's fly? They jumped you? Oh, you like that more. Hey, cool coach. All right, never mind. Never mind.

I forgot where I was at. So wait, what happens? Room full of vultures. What happened with the tall one? Since you went with the swan, what'd the tall one do? Just stand around doing it? Exactly, nobody was with both.

Well, the tall one. This is where the problem came in. Ultimately had a man and when they came when they came over the next day I Guess he wasn't pleased that they was over there, so she dipped off to use the phone But we had a DJ set playing Throughout the speakers.

Absolutely incredible. I haven't heard it yet. I'm going to listen to it. I've played it 30 times. Played it with my fucking mother-in-law in the car, all that shit. He's loving it because it's got salsa old school vibes. You just like the beat and stuff, but you don't understand what he's saying.

I understand what he's saying a little bit. I can't do a direct translation but I understand enough Spanish to get the gist of the song. And if I have a question my wife speaks Spanish, I'll be like, what are you saying? What are you talking about? Absolutely incredible. You don't have that shit, it just sound good.

That's all, I don't even gotta know what he's saying. Get him dancing. Yeah, I don't really have to know but I know it. I don't know what he's saying. Anybody that's taking some level of Spanish is gonna understand a little bit of this shit to be like, okay, I get where he's stepping in. Cuarente.

What? 40. I gotta hear it. 40 out of hills. Cuarente. Absolutely incredible. This is like a season shit. Yo, something's wrong with you, son.

Stiletto. There we go, that's it, man. That's it. What the fuck you talking about? Shout out to Bad Bunny. He don't miss. I am gonna check it out. I know that's Parks, man.

I ain't been listening too much to this, I mean. Oh. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! The rain is going! I know who you are, but you're the heart. Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy y Hey, and then they give me some more. Hey, hey, hey. Oh wait, I got no shit. Wait, hold up. He killed that shit. He killed that shit. I ain't gonna hold it. He really did.

Whoa, hey. Hey, listen, buddy. This shit is a slap. Who did this track? It's not like baby fresh, but it's not. It sounds just like man. I made Juvie on the remix. Yeah, word.

ASAP. That's Juvie Lil Cousin. On the credits, it says that LaMelo produced this. Oh, for real? Oh, wow. It says he produced and arranged it. It says that Lonzo wrote it. And it says that L'Angelo performed it.

Oh, wow. Oh, we're gonna keep this money right in the family. Wow. I love that about them. Yeah, they do. And LeBar Ball. They do. Yeah, you got to.

I fuck with, listen, even y'all niggas that never got y'all BBB sneakers. It was still a great idea. It was an amazing idea. He just needed to use the good glue on the sole, because Lonzo had broke his ankle. He was already battling some injuries when he put the shoe on. Know what he should have did? He broke his ankle.

Should have took one Nike deal, or one major deal. Got the information. Got a little bit of information and used that deal to... Ah, fuck Nike. Fuel his other ventures. You're right, but fuck Nike. major deal got the information got a little bit of information and use that deal to Fuck Nike fuel his other ventures. You're right. But fuck Nike. I'm so glad at the players I like how they did Kyrie So I like their stock dropping and all the players putting out their own sneaker whether it's hot or not Oh, what's other smaller brands like? It's another smaller brand and my man is Indoor see of and he got some equity in it

and the shit is kind of fire. I don't, you know, I respect that shit. This shit do sound like a Big Timers record to me. It does, it sound like Manny Fresh is on that shit. I can hear Juvie coming on there, going right after that hook. Going crazy, going crazy. It sounds like Juvie on the hook.

It sounds like Juvie. I love them with all of this 2002, 2003, Mad of the memes that they coming out with all of the just I like the song I like I like the song I ain't a lot. Sorry. I see we're all casting in his ass. No, sometimes Just dope. Yeah. Yeah, y'all think you got an album in them I'm not gonna go that far. We'll see. We'll see. I think a lot of these niggas got album in them Oh EP. Yeah, you gotta, some of these boys grew up. They grew up on that. They grew up on that shit.

This ain't Allen Iverson doing 40 bars again where they like, wait, wait. Interjecting hip hop into the NBA, get this shit the fuck out of here. This is a new era. Like all these niggas grew up literally on hip hop. So yeah. I think this shit's hard.

They, um. They're not from New Orleans are they? I don't know where they're from. LA? LA, LA. West Coast, yeah. Interesting. All the new babies from LA.

Like 20, 20, how old these niggas are. I'm so stupid. I might swerve and they're gonna woo woo woo. This shit's hard, I ain't gonna lie to you. I might request that motherfucker to strip club. I was skeptical when I saw it going viral. That punch player was like, oh no, this shit is on. I thought they was doing the internet shit again.

I see why. I saw a couple DJs put their videos up. I dropped it in the club. Shit worked. I'd like to hear it in the club. I would. I'd like to hear with a power dynamics and play Ice they reviewed the Drake freestyle while we were gone with the did y'all say, because I didn't watch?

Did y'all like it? I did. Yeah, I did. I did. Oh, okay. I liked the Drake freestyle as well. I saw the complaint of everybody saying how they didn't like he rhymed

pretty much like the same rhyme flow throughout the entire freestyle. Shut up. I think that's bullshit that y'all are even now, y'all don't like it it because when him and J. Cole did it on Evil Wage, I loved it. Like I think people are looking for a reason to now not like whatever Drake does.

If he do something. My only thing that I hated about the freestyle was one, that oven line. That was trash. I didn't like that line. What was the line? Uh, cook. I thought it was closer than kitchens and ovens.

Ovens and kitchens. I just didn't like it. I feel like he's had cringy bars. In the spirit of keeping the rhyme scheme going, I wasn't mad at it. That's it. I just said I didn't like the line. And ovens and kitchens do be close.

Well, they're close. They're more than close. Whatever. Don't make sense. They don't. But I fuck with the freestyle. I just I just want I want I wanted a CDQ quality. Of course. That's it Of course, that's it. Like he'd been quiet for a minute. Finally. He threw something out It don't sound brand new like he just did it last night or something. So I guess leftover from the scary hours

Sessions and he's teasing more conductor shit. It might I'm had the four wires I don't know if this is a scary house for coming. That's all teasing more conductor shit. It had the four wires. I don't know if this is scary. I was four coming. That's all produced by a conductor or something. I'm excited to hear it. You think that's what that meant? Conductor. Yeah, those are the conductor wires. I thought he was rapping his ass off. I enjoyed it. I haven't enjoyed a Drake track in a long time, probably since what what, Family Matters. I thought it was great.

I enjoyed it. I enjoyed hearing that Back to That is lonely at the top, Drake, that everybody's disloyal to me, Drake. I don't like that. That shit was a number to LeBron this track. Oh, well that's exactly what it was. That thing was brown, I think it might have been a little bit of A by.

Man, that shit was brown. No, I think it was brown. What gave it away? The watches. The watches little bit of a bye. Man. Yes, it was The watches gave it away for me. Yeah, it was very specific and I don't think the more of the Rosen was at the hamster's party mmm, and and Drake is right, you know, I mean like it's like yo I can I can feel him and connect pause I can I can feel what he's saying I can connect with his energy on this and I usually again don again, don't, I'm not inclined to do that. But not only was he rapping his ass off, but he was like, yo, this was fucked up.

This is how close we were and this is what you did. I thought it was the vulnerable Drake again. It was the rapping Drake. I respected the track and I liked it. And again, he was rapping his ass off. And I thought rapping that same cadence was actually, was fire. That's difficult to do.

I wanna say that for the people that don't know that that is difficult to do. I want to say that for the people that don't know that that is difficult to do. I saw Rob Markman say the same. Anybody that has tried to do it, that's difficult to do. So salute them. But they- Head nod. I'm sorry, I'm gonna cut you off real quick. Go ahead. Come here.

My bad. Apologize. That's the part I don't like about it is today they just run and say oh you could just use AI and just punch in a bunch of words and then like, fam, it's not easy to rhyme. Like everybody, if it was that easy, everybody would be doing this shit. Right. It should be nifty as well.

So yeah, it just seemed like you grasping for reasons or excuses to try to discredit some shit instead of just saying, all right, I see what he did here and it's hard. Yeah, that's a nice sweat suit too. Yeah. Oh, thank you. He's trying to keep that best dress streak alive.

He got pearls on his zipper. It's nice. I had to do retail therapy to survive my over a month stay and wherever the fuck I was staying at. Thank God for my experience. I don't know. And niggas call me. Your man over here, blah, blah, blah.

And on top of it, you don't let me know your whole life. You don't let you fell off at all. Your man at dinner with his son, I'm looking at him. I'm like, damn. You was at dinner with your son? You was at dinner with your son? I mean, I have dinner with my son sometimes. Recently.

Yeah. I don't. You been okay? Everything been all right? Yeah. I've been looking at your wrist this whole time on the podcast, the right one. I see a new bracelet on there.

No, that's not new. Excuse me, while you're busy. Okay. This is new. Damn, how you see that? Oh, okay, sorry. I will shut the fuck up. Pocket watching is back.

It's not pocket watching. We're not pocket watching 2025. That's open with you. No, no, I'm not, because you know, I mean, we had the conversation. And this was a up. Pocket watching is back. It's not pocket watching. We're not pocket watching 2025. That's open for two. We're not open for two. I mean, we had to call it. And this was a gift. This was a gift. This is cool.

We had the conversation. I'm not pocket watching. I'm just saying that you look healthy and you look happy. Retail therapy is how I survived being displaced for over a month. Nice. And if you are displaced from over a month, you cannot do too much retail therapy

because there's nowhere to put it. To store the shit. It's loaded up that little hotel closet. There's nowhere to walk in there. I'm so grateful for my years and years and years of tour life experience to help me cope with having to be in a fucking hotel for that long. Hotel room in a month is regular shit for tour. Yeah. And at least now it's a nice hotel.

And you had a suite. And without having to perform. You had a suite? That's it. It was the same hotel. Same hotel. They always say you gotta pick up the leaves. They always switch.

You stayed in multiple? The first few weeks I had to hop around. Oh that's tough. The first few weeks it's very difficult to find a room that's available for like two and three weeks. And you don't know how long because you thinking like you said they tell you a date like are we done? Nope, nope another date, another date. So you... And I'm gonna tell y'all, I'm gonna tell y'all this I'ma tell y'all, this is what I learned in my month. And this is local news now, which we are getting to local news for a second.

That residence in is a lot better than Envie. Really? It's too mixy, Envie's too mixy. Every time you get in the elevator, that shit stop at every fucking floor, you see every bitch from your past, so on the sixth floor, shit stop at every fucking floor. You see every bitch from your past that's on the sixth floor. You see everybody, you know.

Every residence in, everything is a suite. You get a kitchen and ain't nobody nowhere. Anybody's a family over here. Anybody with their kids. I wouldn't know. That's it. I've never been in either one of them. I've been in the EnVue when we was doing the-

Antoine Marvie. I've been in the EnVue when we was doing the- Don't complain. The planning shit. Yeah. Antoine Marvie, yo. Stop doing it. I went in the EnV you when we was doing the... Don't complain. Don't complain and shit. Yeah. Antoine Marby, yo. Stop doing it. I went in the eye of you when we was doing...

I heard you already. I'm just saying your name, my G. Probably never even been in the outside of that. Uh-uh. I'm a squirtle, ready to go, whoa, whoa, whoa. Ready to go. Biggest. You that nigga is stupid.

No, it's just the man. I was getting to something. Now I don'tgest. You're that nigga. It's stupid. No, it's just the man. I was getting to something. Now I don't, oh, Drake is what we was talking about. Listen, I'm not saying nothing about this because I've said everything about Drake that I need to say. But it was a few bars in here that's funny. First of all, that ho, this is probably the only part

where he didn't keep up exactly with the flow he was doing. And I don't like that flow. I'm over that flow. I'm tired of that. I'm tired of rhyming on a three. That's his thing. That's his thing. He's mastered it.

He's done it. I want to hear him get off of that, but I'm not here to be negative. I don't even know what that means. Yeah, I looked at part of it. Four beats in the bar. There's four beats in the bar. One, two, three, four. He's hitting the rhyme on the three.

He keeps dropping the rhyme on the three. Okay. And when he tries to get freaky, it's the one and the three. It's odd, but it's his. Fire. That don't make me have to ruin your public image. It's odd, but it's his. Fire. Don't make me have to ruin your public image. I don't like public being public, but for the flow. I know, for the flow.

But what do y'all think about that, boy? I was about to say it was the snitchy part to be there. What do y'all? I said, that's what I don't like about it. Right. The threat is snitchy. Come on. Which goes to the theory that

why Brian wasn't fucking with him no more. Don't make me have to ruin your public image. I've heard different theories that that wasn't actually about LeBron, that that might've been about Damar, and that that might've been about how Damar, when he was broken down in Toronto, was so emotional wreck at the crib

when he was helping him emotionally. That's public already. All right, so what's his public image? No, but the Marr's depression is public. Yeah, but the idea was that he was going to talk about how big of a bitch that nigga he was. How would that ruin your public image though? I'm asking, what is the Marr's public image?

I'm not saying that that's the answer. I don't know if the Marr got enough public image for you to ruin his public image. To me, that's Braun. It depends on what you're saying. I hope not. It depends on what you're saying. That's Braun, the public image for you to ruin? That's my point. That's public image. To me, that's Braun. Depends on you. I hope not. Depends on you. That's Braun.

Public image of the squeaky clean family man who ain't got no smut on him. I'm with you. I can ruin that. And then there was the rumors of why his wife was so happy to be at the pop out and all of that. And I don't want you around him no more. Yep.

That, that's what I took from you. I heard all, that's how I heard it the way you heard it. But then other people, maybe they were just caping for LeBron or for Drake. They were saying he wasn't Drake wouldn't do that He was actually talking about tomorrow. He was someone this person He's talking about that person people trying to find an alternative to him just right now. It's always about LeBron James Fighting Irish fighting fighting Irish freestyle. No, I'm with you. I get I think it was about LeBron, but I've heard other theories I'm just saying there are other people saying some other shit. I don't claim, I think it was about LeBron, but I've heard other theories. I'm just saying there are other people who's saying some other shit. I don't claim to know.

If it is about LeBron, that's a funny bar. Why would you say that? It's fucked up, it's fucked up. And I don't think he would ever do that. I don't put it past him. Don't threaten me with no snitch. That's enough, that is doing it. Don't threaten, nigga, the fact that you threaten a snitch

is enough to get you. That can make my household a little rocker. That's what I'm saying. And that's my goal. And Savannah already don't be talking to the wrong little friends. Ha ha ha. But that wasn't the funniest bar to me.

I'm fast forwarding to the funniest bar. No. This nigga is a sassy little nigga. Hold on. Listen to this bar. You can't help yourself. Only him put, oh, no, listen to this bar. You can't help yourself. Only him put, oh no, listen to this bar. I got a subtle addiction.

I got my father's habits and I got my mother's permission. My dad has another child. I told him that wasn't my sister. Grew up with dozens of Jews. I ain't get that one. I don't care. Yo. I don't care.

I'm just picturing him. My dad has another child. I told him that wasn't my sister. I don't fuck with him. Yeah, but some people be on that. No, that's hilarious, yo. A lot of niggas be on that. That's funny.

Baby, nigga. It's still funny to say it. Yo, can I, I want to comment on that. I don't give a fuck about Drake daughter that y'all looking for or Dennis' grandkid. I don't care. This witch hunt that y'all on, even if y'all fine, I don't care. It's 2025. I'm not Drake Kendrick in my, my 2020. I feel like we're going to live through this forever. I love that line.

No, I'm not doing it. No, I don't want to, but I feel like it's going to, they got to do something new for me to get back on. We did it. It was six months. Anybody got paid. Everybody got paid. Everybody did the content. We all got up. Us, Lucian, everything. It's over. They gotta do some new shit, and I do think some new shit will happen this year. I think so. Yeah, it's gonna have to happen.

I love that sister line though, man. To me... That is the funniest... Drake is hilarious. I thought he was... Because remember earlier in the rap when he was saying that I thought I got another brother with LeBron, right? He thought he'd come along with another brother. So he's saying like, even my blood,

I don't claim as a sister, but I thought you were my brother. Like everybody, uh-huh. To me that shit was actually kind of dope when he tied it back. That's some P.A.D. shit you just did right there. I didn't even think of that. I could be wrong, but that's what it seemed like to me.

If he said that, that's goofy. I mean, if he was referring to potentially writing on a nigga, that is some goofy shit. But him being upset at a nigga that you might've thought was genuinely your friend and your brother, I don't think that's goofy. Me neither. Me either. I'm not mad at that.

I'm not mad at, pardon me, the vulnerability of it. UMG took it down, right? Yeah. Yeah, and I don't think it's been put anywhere. It's just on YouTube. Which is interesting. Any takeaways from that? Third a lawsuit.

Yeah. I think that's what it is. You're telling us. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's what it is. You're suing us. Yeah. No. You don't get to put out music. Fuck the lawsuit.

You don't, no artists, you don't just get to drop music if you're signed to us. Anybody that drops a song out of nowhere on it, whether it be Instagram or something or YouTube or something, the label's gonna come and strike it down. If we don't have no, we didn't okay it. Yeah, but them doing that to Drake is different. Under this, under regular circumstances,

I don't think they would have a problem at all with Drake or any other large artists dropping a song however they want to, they okay. They're gonna make some money. They're gonna make money. But any other artist, any artist that size drop a song. Pause. What the fuck is up with you, man?

Hey Mark, hey Mark. Any major artist wouldn't even do that. drop a... Boys. What the fuck is up with you? Any major artist wouldn't even do that. They're going to drop with their label because they're making the money with them. The big names are in, they're working with the labels. The labels are doing whatever the big name wants you to do. I'm not sure that all the battle records that were getting dropped on IG were all sanctioned. I don't know. I don't know if that's true.

It might have been, because some cuz some didn't get released so that kind of says that sure That was just some hey, I'm Kendrick. I'm dropping this song what I want. Hey, I'm Drake I'm gonna go when I want Drake came out with a song Friday night 20 seconds later Kendrick put some shit out. Yeah, I don't know if that got clearance is first Yeah, I had to step on this nigga's shit. Fuck the paperwork. Right. You know what I'm saying? It would have to.

Good point. Party Next Door tweeted P5, which people are now saying, hey, hold up, big dog. Like, where's the Drake and Party record? I think all official releases from Drake is gonna be on hold till they get some clarity in these lawsuits I would imagine I think that Drake got to be and and and I'm not the biggest fan of the Drake and conductor shit

I've said that I'm on record with it. It's not a surprise. Don't try to kill me for my take However, I don't think none of the good good rapping is going to is going to, I think his biggest bout is with his label saying you're on the downside of whatever it is you're doing and we treat you like that. So the good rapping is great for the fans that want to hear great rapping. At some point I think he has to do something to dispel the label thinking that, which is why everybody keeps sitting around waiting for the slap. For the hit. For the hit. Yeah. I think he's torn because some niggas be like,

y'all I want to hear that hit, shit I want you to rap nigga, you're this hip-hop nigga, and they dissing him for, yeah we know you can make hits. You gotta do both. He's always, he's always, he's never been in this position in his life. and they dissing him for, yeah, we know you can make hits. You gotta do both, yeah. You know what I'm saying? He's always, he's always, he never does both. He's never been in this position in his life. That's true. He's never been in this position in his life. He's always been the label darling,

and they suck in my dick and I can do whatever I want. He got contention there. He's always been outside of the pusha t-shirt, and the pusha t-shirt was a punch in the face. This Kendrick shit was a body slam in the stomp. He never been here. So he don't, he trying to please everybody. I'm accustomed to being up here and everybody reveres me.

This is probably the first time in his life, at least in the last 20 years, that he might be more disliked in the public than he was at one point, than liked. He's never experienced that. And the other side is you always had the labels backing. Yeah, I know, that's okay. You always had the machines.

True. So now he's never been in this place before. You're gonna see, we put you there. I think it was a marriage. It was a marriage. It was a marriage, but we had just as much, we're just as responsible for that as you are. You think you can do it without us and you keep trying.

And I also think, I think he got shit and he don't wanna release it with them. And we got beef, so if we got beef, if we got, you know what I'm saying? I think he got fire and I wanna get away from y'all. So I wanna hold my fire so that when I go somewhere else, I can immediately release my heat and be like, suck my dick, I can still do this.

Yeah. You hear what I'm saying? Like that's my personal opinion. I think that he got some shit in the tuck. And as soon as I get over here, the way that my new situation is, I'm not positive he wants to get fully away from them either. He might just want better terms for where he's at.

It's possible. Yeah. He may go to one though. It's possible. Maybe it's possible. Just speculation. I think he's looking out. It's possible. Yeah. Maybe he's got a war though. Maybe it's possible. Just speculation. I think he's looking out for whatever's best for him. I agree. Which he should. He had business dealings with Sony, right? I'm not sure. I don't think so. His OVO imprint was where? That I don't know. Let's look it up. I remember him having some type of something with Sony. So wait, when you said-

It was the Emperor of Warner. Warner, yes, yes, Warner. Distributed by Sony and Republic. Warner. You got nothing above my pay grade, I'm sure. So when you sign, you can't put any music out if you want to. I mean, that's what I hear from artists.

Supposed to, right? Like, it's artists that can't even go do a freestyle. Can't go and upload anything to you. Depends on your standing. Yeah, it depends on your standing with the label. And then you got other people that find a way to leak something, and if it bubble enough, yeah. We'll pick that up.

We'll pick up and we'll, oh shit, you do got something. All right, now let's get involved and let's put some money behind it. So it's a battle, but it's a pecking order. When you're at the top, usually you can do what you want. Do what you want. You can do what you want. Got it. Dre can do what the fuck he wants.

Taylor Swift can do what the fuck she wants. Kendrick can do what the fuck he wants. But you beefing with us. So you're at the top, but you're still beefing with us. We're not the top, but you still beefing with us. We're not gonna try to do nothing to help you. We're not gonna just put out a dope freestyle and catch some steam that might incentivize you to put out another shit.

You know what I'm saying? Another shit, no nigga. You trying to leave us, we wanna hurt your leverage. We wanna kill your leverage. We wanna kill your value leverage. We're gonna kill all of this shit. Did anybody hear Wham, Lil Baby's project? I did. Yeah, I'm halfway through. I listened to it a couple times. I tried a couple times. Give it to me, give it to me. What do you think? I'm seeing mixed reviews online.

It's not that bad. Yeah, it ain't as bad as the internet for me. It wasn't horrible. I found it rather unspectacular. There's a couple slaps on there, but for the most part it was kind of just cool. I tweeted before this album came out that I have very low expectations and this is probably the one project that I am hoping to be proven wrong about and I was. Like I fucked with the album it's maybe four records that I could do without it's some that are definitely going on a playlist. I would have liked him to have some other features. I do get tired of hearing this same little group of him,

21, Future Thug, like I don't really wanna hear that as much. This is where I wanted to hear Drake. I would have loved to hear Drake on Sundays. This is where I wanted to hear Drake. So when we came in, I said that he put the deluxe out. I thought Drake would have been on the deluxe. Yeah, he did drop, I didn't get a chance to listen. I thought Drake would have been on a deluxe. Yeah, he did drop it. I didn't get a chance to listen to it. I thought Drake would have been on a deluxe, especially for him to put it out that early

and it didn't get as many good reviews as he might have hoped for. I thought that Drake would have been on a deluxe and that would have been his- Still requires clearance. True. I got a question. That would have been his secret weapon. You know what I'm saying? It still goes right back to the conversation.

Yeah, still. I got a question here. Wait, wait, real quick. What Drake features have we gotten recently? Is there one? The song with the girl- yeah, still. I got a question. Wait, wait, real quick. What Drake features have we gotten recently? Nothing, right? The Sol and Cabello was the only one that I can remember. All of them pop shits.

That's it. That's a great point. And that was still before? And that was pre-Beef. He just pushed it back. Once the beef got heavy, he pushed it back. All right. What you were saying, Frees?

Coach K&P sold QC. Right. Do we know if they still active in like running it? Yeah, I think that was the report when they first sold it. Cause I was trying to see where shit went a little different with Lil Babies and music. And I'm like, if they sold it, and they might've been like the, the, the, the,

the A&Rs, the A&Rs behind it, that could explain some things for me. So I was just, I was just wondering. P, P, P had me recently about some QC shit. So I would assume yes, if I'm assuming. Two, when you sell your shit, typically they ask you to stay on for for a time period of time to run to continue to run it. Um, and to try to answer your question, I was telling parks outside. I actually like this

little baby shit. I like it too. I like it. I was just expecting more. I guess see now I don't be in that people have been saying for a couple years now he fell off or whatever, whatever. I was kind of expecting him to try to prove extra hard that he hadn't. Like the gun in the moment. It's solid, it's just not. I don't get, what do people expect from Lil Baby? Well, I was just gonna ask you.

I don't know. Lava, to answer you. Like, I think there was a period where anytime you heard his voice, it was absolute insanity. It was lava, it was boiling. And then we get tired of it, or it gets to be the same thing for too long, and now people are starting to say,

I wanna hear something else from you. So I say, again, what are y'all expecting him to do? Well, that's, if I have to critique this, and let me play a little bit first, because I do like it. But again, I'm not the Lil Baby album fan. I don't go into Lil Baby albums expecting Illmatic. Did you hear my turn? The album?

Yeah. That is a phenomenal album. That, whatever. At its peak. At its peak, yes. That's his peak. That's his only album. No, that's not true. Oh no, I'm sorry, excuse me. That's not true. That's his only album. No, that's not true.

Oh, no, I'm sorry. The one afterwards. The one afterwards. It's only me. But that was his first album. Again, like you said, you got your whole career to make your first album. Everything else has been mixed tapes.

And I try not to judge artists that they peak when you have all cylinders firing. Like, I want to hear you in your gunna moment, when things are down, when the fans are a little iffy on you. I want to hear you in your Gunna moment, when things are down, when the fans a little iffy on you, I want to hear what you coming out with. But that's a good example of what kind of I expected, I guess, as a, I'm a little baby fan, I'm not like a diehard fan,

like I don't know my turn back and forth, I wasn't doing a bunch of times. I kind of expected a Gunna moment from him, I guess. And it's been a good time for you. Where the shit is, it's not obviously as bad as it was for Gunna, World Against Him, but people had turned on him a little bit. I was expecting a bigger show.

And I did see an interview with him where he said, like I'm kind of, it's a little harder for him because again, at this point in hip hop, I gotta watch what I say. Yeah, true. Well, so I can't really get into too much. I gotta kind of be a little. Well, that's what I was gonna tell, true. Well, so I can't really get into too much. I gotta kinda be a little... Well, that's what I was gonna tell you

on my critique of the project. I can... By the second half, this shit got a little redundant to me. Like, some of the songs get to sound the same and it's just all a blur. But production-wise, even if the beats sound like another beat you heard, all the beats are fire.

And I could see people get... My barber was tired of his sing songy repetitive flow. But I think that's largely due to the content change. He can't talk like he used to talk. And on this album, you hear him not talking like that. So it's fire to me. But it's not what we're used to from Lil Baby.

But this intro... Come on, man. Come on, man. New clip in another state, the duck off. You get on my nerves, bitch, fuck off Run away, train, I done took off I move with a purpose, give them the right influence That's how I'm the big dog

I'm with the clappers, I better not throw a punch Free all of the rappers, hope they get a mistrial No more spending more than I'm saving, laying this shit pile Living kitty, that shit was corny, I had to switch that AM's on the crib, come from session eight, man, this shit wild I took the little bros and I mowed them, they know to hold it down I got lots of dollars and yens and a whole lotta pounds I live in conditions you can't pay niggas to go around

We in Miami, P.J. to the B.P. I can't lie, this shit okay for me Locking in the studio all night, she gon' wait for me She told me in the studio all night, but she gon' wait for me She told me she treat you like a lame, but she don't play with me She say I'm her favorite, nigga, these niggas backwards They get a little money, spend it all, and then they ask for something I grew up with me and all her hitters still ain't ask for nothing Fuck it up, I'll probably get her from the summer Run my money up and like a monosum

I'm with the hustlers, running circles, running running rapping niggas, no discussion for me. I got niggas still stuck in the trenches, shit be fucking with me. I was shaking emails on the plane and she start sucking on me. It ain't no bus stand me. And you know what? That's odd.

This is absolutely crazy. What the fuck? This is how you start an album. This is absolutely crazy. That song is called Listen Up. It's track number one. Also, I don't want to talk like his content is changing because he can no longer incriminate himself. I don't think that's fair. It could just grow.

He grew, yes. And let me tell y'all, all of that other shit that y'all see him doing, the showing the house off, showing the art piece off, that's an expensive publicist that's doing that rebrand. That is costly. It's costing him six figures to change how he is viewed and fans don't be wanting to see you grow. No they don't. Yeah they don't. I think 21 Savage went absolutely crazy on this album. His verse streak continues for me. This is track two dumb dumb and d and dumber young thug and future I think thug and future went crazy on this Fuck stars in the LDS at the bottom

Yeah, this is how I want my little baby to sound This is how I want my little baby to sound On the street rappers play a duck to catch a duck you know Chicken niggas, chicken niggas you know Supercar driving, bus screen flying, sign on the wind, golden child you know That beat is beatin' Where is it? I don't know One of my new favorite tags

They stop poppin' off a plane to a met bar 100-time platinum, fuck a pet Booty through the top and run, flat gone Cutthroat, I give him one chance Slutter out and gave him one bend 25 cars, one man Drive way like a men and dealership He went sour, couldn't finish A boat crack, smoke her, I was living room

Weird hoes, I ain't dealing room Overseas, they love a real nigga She don't like it, but she deal with it I respect the back desk too Here is round the corner, that sucks Putting on stuff, bitch, just flip phone black, negative We done done it all with nicks Boss man, name on the chip

These first ones come through Trump Dipset, Jim, don't think about life, fuck with fucking Hustler Hollis You know now to test me, I'ma call her I'm tryna let him cook, but I really want to get to the dog in future I don't see a shit can't clump, she ain't mind a shit, don't got me towin' OCD, me ass, I'm locked up for real I'm having my way the whole time, fool Two lamb, coup, four lamb trucks

Pulling up wet, what the fuck Nick Reese, finger slush Ordering up wet, wet fuck fuck Nick Reese, finger slush Order 100 G's, that's us New road, color that truck Dog on the side like Donald Trump said he's gonna rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America Definitely he's comedy for sure. Can he do that? I don't know probably depend on who named it Fuck my brother gave the bitch a pass, trappin' in the studio I'm glad, break a belt or just to get the trash I was taught to play a bitch to leave, I go birch and nail for the fleece, pull em at a time like a she Havin' on a boat screamin' skeez, Saint Laurent they bring it to the beat, she was watchin' Ki and Middle East She snotted all the keys, got her screamin' RP the key, our niggas can't stand us, uh-uh Doggie put your mans up This shit is hard. Yeah, this is hard. It's all right. This is hard All right. All right. I'll wait a future

Hey Niggas, hey, gang, hope it don't be like syrup elevator pad and clear Chopping bags all on the floor. Never seen me twice for the whole shit. He just reminded me of when I was humbled Just reminded me of when I was humble He just reminded me when I was He shoulda done that, won't he? Nah, he just reminded me We was in Costa Rica catching a vibe Here goes stupid ass Corey

Hey, y'all see that boat out there with the helicopter landing? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah That's uh... Bernard or no Bernard or no, whatever it is Bernard or no Oh Oh, Salma's husband. No, this was like a three story fucking mansion. 150 million dollar yacht with a helicopter pair. We could we could take people off. It's like I we gotta get out of My game but I get 80 a turn He's, look, I might,

I might get 80 a turn. He's bugging out. You pay ice yet? Yeah, why you in my pocket? He said yes, he did. You did? Alright, good. Why you in my pocket? You're my man. So you care if I pay money out my pocket cause you're my man. Well, he's my man too. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. I knocked my bitch 32 shots with the glitch. Talking Vicks, then we talking Chris. Mike Crowe, many with a beam. Printin' side holes in Celine.

Kickin' out the millions like a beam. Push a button and make your mama grieve. Eating up, she working for her boss. Out the country, livin' like a boss. Power Dynamics. She working, working for her boss. This song is great. Check out the rest of the album on your own time.

I do see mixed reviews online and I understand it. And I understand it. I like it. Me too. I like it. I like it too. I like it too. I don't dislike it.

I think it's cool. I don't think it's as bad as y'all. It ain't trash. I think it's been waiting to hate it. I'm saying. Yeah, it ain't trash. I do think that. It ain't bad. In 2025, I hope we to hate it. I'm saying. Yeah, it ain't trash. I do think that. It ain't bad.

In 2025, I hope we can bring back the fan. Nope, it's over. I would also like to bring back like levels to the review. Yeah. Like it doesn't have to be either amazing or trash. It can admit also being trash to most people now, colloquially, so there's literally no,

it's either good or- It's either classic or trash. Trash. I think the- Like this album is good. It's not literally no, it's either good or... It's either classic or trash. Trash. I think the end. Like this album is good, it's not great, but it's a good album and that's okay. It's a good album. Hey, look, it's better than his last album to me,

and that's what I needed this to be. These tracks you just played, are they exceptions, or is this how I feel through the whole album? Listen, buddy. It goes, it goes. Listen, listen, listen. It listen listen has a change of I'll give you a quick that was one into his three I'm now playing off the phone. Oh, yeah, I didn't want to hear this.

Same. That's the one. I can't think of another one. I'd still pay for a 21 feature.

I would holla at Meese and try to get it done for free. Well, if I'm a rapper, I'm just saying. I'm saying, Glo, I don't have a relationship with somebody that could send it to me. I'm paying her to get that verse, for sure. And it's a single. Oh, for sure. It's definitely a single. Lead single shit. You know, shout out Lil Baby, shout out to Glowrilla, absolutely love what

you're doing, phenomenal year last year. Phenomenal year last year. They say Ice Spice sold 4.8 thousand copies first week. I didn't know she dropped. Of that I'm Just A Girl deluxe. While I have y'all here, is I'm just a girl counterproductive to the women empowerment movement?

I think it is. I often clap back and say, no, you're a grown woman. Yeah. Some of them don't support the women empowerment movement. That is true. That's really what it'd be. Well, they do what is convenient. All right.

In the workplace, yes. At home, no. That's the next hot and bothered, why you get quiet on the drink topics. Oh. Not for real. That hot and bothered? Out of here. I'll tell you, you'd just be stealing our sauce

if we give you, so go ahead. Shut the fuck up. This is why I don't have a pan on the drink freestyle, all right? You guys been asking for it. Here it is. What else? What else? Shout out to Lil Baby, shout out to Drake,

shout out to L'Angelo Ball. Is there anything else in music that is super important or not important? Not super important, but well, super important to me. I want to shout out to Redman, yo. I listened to the Muddy Waters 2 album I didn't know what to expect because I haven't heard a new Redman album in years and I like this shit. I saw I think like 32 tracks. I was like, oh, yeah

I'm not about to listen in like 32. I wasn't I fuck with a large portion of this album It's not 32 songs. But you surprised me. So salute. And he had a crazy Jersey Posse cut on there. Ish played it on the pod last week. Oh, okay. One here.

Who's on the Jersey Posse cut? We released it to the public, you could've listened. No. Everybody from Jersey, minus Joe. Like Rod Digg and everybody. Yeah. Trech. Trech is on it, Vin is on it, Trech.

L from Lady Luck. Artifacts is on it, Lady Luck, Nikki D, Latifah. Shaq. That's underground, Shaq. You the only nigga that ain't on it. I'm getting mad now. And uh. They put Shaq on it.

They didn't call you. Shaq rap, Shaq rap rap. I can see you're a better rapper than Shaq is all I'm saying. I just wanted you to get the call too. That's all I'm saying. I love Shaq. I love. What?

Shout out to Redman, man. Shout out to Redman. Everybody though. It was a great, it was a good project. Artifact, nigga, you deep. He went back there. That's why you talking about, you didn't talk about.

I told you, like, yo, that you didn't get to call. All right, I need to listen to that shit. I thought you would have at least gotten to call. I wanted you to get to call. You would have probably turned me back. Rest in peace, KSlayer. Anytime that nigga call me to jump on the track with all 700 of them niggas, I hung up on him.

You would have to say yes to this one. Maybe the Jersey card gets it done, but. That's what I'm saying. KSlayer used to call, like, yo, got this great idea. You and 900 people. How many bars I get? Four.

You get the fuck off of my phone. I get four bars to clean up 900 people. That math ain't, that's girl math to me. That's not enough. I don't heat up to eight. Heather B, like. How many bars they got? Everyone's, it's almost five long as it's five and change.

I need more than eight to clean up red and. The girls eight. They did, they did. The women eight. I'm guessing Lauren wasn't on it either, right? No, no Fujis. No Fujis, okay. They might've called her,

she just ain't get to the studio yet. She showed up just now. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Actually, speaking of Tretch, I want to give y'all the playlist of the DJ in Costa Rica as we were waiting for New Year's Eve. We got some Tone Locke and Young MC. Lot of Mr. Worldwide. Pitbull. Pitbull. Flo Rida.

There might have been some Shaggy. Shaggy usually makes that list. Sean Paul. I thought of it because, I didn't hear Sean Paul. I thought of it because they threw on some hip hop hooray. None of the white people did like this side to side. How old was they? They did YMCA before they did, hey, hey.

How old was they? Hey. There was like before they did, hey! How old was they? Hey! There was like teenagers there. Yeah, they got older people too, but. Oh, the Cha Cha Slide, they had some DM version of the Cha Cha Slide that threw me off a little bit. One time now, y'all. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, we didn't even win. They should have had some synthesizers in it, and Shay was like, this is not how this goes. Yeah, they fucked up the Cha Cha Slide. But everyone slid, so it worked. Remember, you gotta learn the electric slide. Is that how you used to do it? Learn that shit.

You think Parks don't know electric slide? He doesn't know the electric slide. He don't learn it. Yeah, we talked about that. Stay out of business. Oh, stop. What happened? And it's just called you a nigga.

People dumb nigga And don't do that again We have parks or comfortable people No, you're had me so uncomfortable Parks Park City, I'm white y'all You guys, you guys please. I don't give a fuck. Here's another one. What was I about to say? Let me now erase these notes, this is important. I miss Ray Sherman a little bit.

I have this written down. Just because it was their anniversary, it was their 10 year anniversary the other day. The shit they put out recently wasn't bad. Yeah it wasn't. Yeah. They just don't get the support like that. Yeah no one put no money behind it or something.

Like I should put it back. Ray Sherman is always getting to listen. They drop an album, I'm't think nobody's support like that. Yeah, no one put no money behind it like So Sherman is always getting to listen they drop an album. I'm rushing to listen say I have a question here That's all for music. It's not has not music related at all, but I did want to ask you guys If anybody who have you been honored to share your time on Earth with Greg Popovich. He's one for me. Kobe's another one for me. Kobe.

Clark Kent. DJ Clark Kent. I thought about this because while they was playing all of these white people slaps in Costa Rica at New Year's Eve, I thought about D-Nice. And for me to purchase D-Nice's single at nine years old and then him going to be one of the biggest DJs in the world and be so supportive and be such a good human.

Just a nice guy. A nice person and just be in the mix. I seen D-Nice when he was going through a divorce. I seen D-Nice when he was moving around like... Toy or someone was playing some D-Nice setlist while we were out there. D-Nice is gonna come on? Yeah All members of the locks for me. Okay, all men just just men of honor I meant total men of honor.

Like just geniuses who we also got to see kind of up close and watch the genius develop and like bloom that shit for me is amazing. Shout out to Questlove, I think he's doing his fucking birthday, his birthday movie tradition shit. I think Silence of the Lambs is on. One of them, there's a movie on here I wanted to see.

I see that too. I see that video. Dr. Umar is in Africa with Simba. Salute. Now, I had a rough month, so we did have to reschedule Umar and Pod's Given. But he is out there as a friend of the show, with friend of the show, Simba.

Not your Simba. Salute. I wanna know if Simba is sucking Dr. Umar's dick. I know Simba, I don't give a fuck what y'all talking about. Listen, not like that, stop. I wasn't even talking with y'all talking about How about that? I wasn't even talking. I'm just talking about no, we know how simple Oh, we know something but there we go. Help me out. I said we know Help me out then I did it. You never been on you know, anybody out there lying on ish. It's wasn't in arm view nigga That one time when we were doing the show was three times

We wasn't doing shows and then I've been there with my girlfriend That one time when we was doing the show rehearsal? Three times when we was doing the show rehearsal. And then I've been there with my girl for dinner outside in the pods in the winter. Nice-ish. We got the pods outside in the winter where you could look at the view. Back in the day when I used to cheat at Armview, I would get caught every time.

You can't do that. My girl would call me right at the table with this bitch. Yeah, you said it. Yo, nigga, you said it. You're not brave enough to be at Armview with such and such, sending me pictures. I'm like, I'm out of here. At Armview, when you cheating back in the day,

and you try to go find a quiet corner to talk, the corner's a little far in Armview. It is. It's no longer in the day, and you try to go find a quiet corner to talk, the corner's a little far enough. It is. It's no longer in the cool area. You gotta take a run. Here go your girl. Why you had a breath? Why?

I'm here. I don't like when your girl know your breathing pattern. She called you while you was there? Oh please. Yes. You said, no I was just cleaning up. She said, cleaning up, sure. Business meeting. I'll stop cheating. The cheating game changed. And I'm in love, but the cheating

game changed. It's different out here. You gotta have the spirit. You gotta thank God for cameras and also... Fuck them cameras. Yeah. Really. I love, baby. I was living wrong. I grew. How you feeling, Joe? No. By what? Catch steak. Catch steak. Permanently closed. No.

That's devastating. Catch steak is permanently closed. Oh, your blood pressure about to be good money. Oh, shit. New York and LA. Oh, really? Yes. Yes.

Crazy. Yes. Oh, your blood pressure about to be good money. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. New York and LA. Oh, really? Yeah, shit. Crazy. Yes. Damn.

You know, they're the first of many. They closed LA last month. And then a couple days ago, just. So only Miami? As of now. Damn. Both catch steak in New York and Los Angeles have been exceptionally successful. As of now. Both Ketch Stake in New York and Los Angeles have been exceptionally successful, each generating over 18 million in annual revenue.

Revenue ain't profit. That seems really low. Yeah, it seems a little low for me. However, their close proximity to our flagship Ketch Restaurants has split the business. By consolidating these locations, we can deliver a unified and elevated experience that builds on the best of both concepts. To support this transformation, we're investing six million dollars to renovate and enhance both flagship locations, creating spaces

that set new standards for guests and staff experiences. This pivotal move follows the successful openings of Catch Miami Beach, and Dallas in 2020 for Dallas is another one on that. That's another one, I can't, I'm barred. I can't go to Dallas. That's why. Do niggas know that Dallas is on the? Yeah, niggas know. All right, anyway. And Dallas in 2024.

As well as the launch of The Corner Store, already one of the most talked about restaurants in America. Looking ahead to 2025, we have several openings in progress, including a Mediterranean dining experience in SoHo. We're energized by what's ahead and look forward to sharing the next chapter

of Catch Hospitality Group with you. I think that makes a ton of business sense. I am so depressed, I don't give a fuck. Why? I think Catch is so much better than Catch State. It wasn't. I don't eat steak either. I don't eat steak like that, so it didn't do it for me.

It was amazing. But vibe-wise, I don't care. You're still stepping on your own date. You own date your dope you stepping on your own dope. Well, then why open it so fucking close ego Stupid it's ego Fucking take it up and take him in town So there's not like across the street from the flagship I think I think regular catch was overdone especially especially in New York in LA to what you say overdone. What do you mean? just

Ran ran through and then catch they got ran through to We weren't done yet. Yeah, we weren't done running through We were you was eating at three times a week at one point not three times, but a lot I know I was a lot of things are they tell you times, but. A lot. I know, they hear them, they ain't tell you nothing. Yo, Joe, man. I'm mad I didn't get an email. I feel for some of them cool people that I was fly with that worked over there.

Yeah, it was like, god damn. It was our girl named Ashley. Think so. Mm-hmm, forgot. But you know who I'm talking about, right? My people, yeah. Then speak up, nigga. Don't get quiet. You don't know your people's name? I do know her name. Don't get quiet, though. What you saying, like, you know I'm talking about, right? It's my people's, yeah. Then speak up, nigga. Don't get quiet. You don't know your people's name?

I do know my name. Don't get quiet, though. You understand, like, you know. Yeah, I mean, that's what we... We'll talk later. No, no, no, no. I told you about doing that. We're not talking about shit.

We'll talk later. I'll go TMZ. We're going to talk. Yo, why you keep doing that? You're too your mid-star. I'm really saddened by this. Not as much as I would be if we didn't go out with a bang for my birthday party. I had a blast at my birthday party.

It was amazing. But damn, I wouldn't have minded to go back a little last time, wagoo, a little last little sushi roll. The catch roll. I didn't go to catch restaurant. I'm going to catch steak, but what's the difference between the two? Seafood.

One was more seafood oriented and the other one was more seafood. Regular catch or seafood? Catch. Thank you, man. Okay, thank you. Thank you, seafood. Yeah, catch straight through. She broke it down for me.

She did. She did, man. Ice sent me that fucking article, man. I wanted to kill him. I thought you knew, I was just like, damn, yo, my condolences. Nah, we just heard it. I heard you bring that menu over here.

I hope so, so I eat seafood. To regular catch? To regular catch. That's what I'm saying. You're going to get the same options. I don't think that's right. That's what I'm saying. Unless it's a vibe. They pretty much set in the press release. They're going to consolidate it.

For me, it's a vibe thing. I like it better. That's why I was asking you if the vibe is better at Catch Stik. I've only been to Catch Stik once. Much better. Yeah, it was. Much better at Catch Stik. It was nice.

Or is Nobu overrated to y'all? No, it's a staple, especially the one on 57. Nobu 57 is my spot. Let's go, man. Nobu 57 is better, but I think a lot of that shit, when you, what are you talking about overrated? Food wise or? Period, whatever wise you want to take it.

See, the food is just, the food is good. It ain't great, but the ambiance is good So a lot of times when you go to these places you not necessarily even going there for the food I fucks Tacos up in the world, but it's just good Yeah, I have taken some first dates to noble 57 right the The power dynamics shine over there.

Okay, there you go, there you go. Three single niggas walk in Nobu, you're having a good night.

And I told Cory and Inch that you was mad that they let this new nigga talk like that about me and you. Especially Cory boy. Especially Cory. Off the mic, huh?

Because Cory could play a little bit. Isch was a bum so he would break my time. Do you have anything to say to Mark about his remarks regarding you and I on the spade table? Well first of all I can tell he's not a real spade player because you're only as good as your partner. So I don't care how great he think he is, I haven't had the best partner in the world. So whatever reason, he can't win. Y'all go ahead, it's just the two of us moment.

Leave on that one, nigga. I'm just saying things. Were we really looking forward to mac and cheese from now? That's deflection. No, wait, wait, wait. Look at my nails, nigga. You think you could cook? Didn't they throw really looking forward to mac and cheese from Mal? That's deflection. No, wait, wait, wait. Look at her nails, nigga. You think she could cook?

Didn't they throw you into the whole mac and cheese conversation? I don't eat mac and cheese, so I was down with you. Mal came in here and lied and said she went and she brought some mac and cheese somewhere else. She was like, Instagram, hey, I made that. All this woman do is lie. But she gets away with it. She can do it.

She can pull it off. Oh my God. We let Mal cook, man. Yeah, no. But she don't cook. If we take away the power dynamics, can do it, she can pull it off. Oh my God. We let Mel cook, man. Yeah, no. But she don't cook.

She says she's vegan. If we take away the power dynamics, we taking away pretty privilege. Oh, hell yeah. Let's go, Mark. Oh, shit. But Mel is talented beyond her looks. Feet it up!

Well, you are good. Janitor! Janitor! He don't stop. He don't stop. Clean up. Out three! Yo, now.

Yo, Mark. Yo, Mark. The nigga stumbled and caught his balance. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, Mark is rookie of the year. Whoa, whoa. Mark is rookie of the year, yo. You can't jam him up.

Whoa. You can't jam him up. I don't think I have too much more that I need to get off on this list. They booed the shit out of Hulk Hogan. They booed me. out of Hulk Hogan. They booed the shit out of Hulk Hogan. Boo! Why they...

I felt so bad. He was limping his shit. He limped outside. I'm like, please, though. They booed the shit out of that nigga, so... I had to explain it. What the fuck is going on? You see they tried to fix it, right?

Yeah, they tried to fix it. You talking about WWE? Yeah, they put the... No, no. They booed that nigga out of the building, son. Yeah, I ain't never seen nothing like that. And it looked good on him. Shout out to the guy who did it.

He was like, I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. see they tried to fix it, right? Yeah, they tried to fix it. You talking about WWE? They put the fake, yeah, they put the, yeah, yeah, yeah, nah. They moved that nigga out of the building, son. Yeah, I ain't never seen nothing like that. And it looked good on, from Charlotte WWE on the Netflix deal. It looks amazing. It looks amazing.

That whole next flip, I don't know what's going on. As did the football game. Football game looked amazing. Netflix is, oh my God. Football game looked really good. I watched that Beyonce bowl again. E, we'll talk on Patreon, man. We'll talk on patreon

They pull up these family stop yeah, they pull up each mom and stuff man I Didn't see none of that, but stop don't bring it back up. He'd be going to talk I'm watching Beyonce bowl again. You stand with eat. Yeah, I don't think he said I don't agree I'm all pleased. I got Beyonce my top five, but I don't stand with you know what I'm saying I don't think number six is crazy I don't think he's wrong don't agree with I got Beyonce my top five, but I don't stand with you know I don't think number six is crazy. I don't think he's wrong like I would put Beyonce above Chris Brown But I don't think it's crazy, but it found tweets Then he saw Chris Brown perform again and said you know what the shit changed Chris Brown killed it He should watch the Beyonce Bowl again. He also said I could put some Who are these things?

Patty LeBan oh That's why we talk about you yeah And I kept trying to get them. Who are these things? Oh, that I can't understand. That I can't understand. James Brown, Patti LaBelle. I'm off mic. I'm off mic. That's why we talking about you. Yeah. You ain't even here, right? You had your time to shine on the last episode. You was getting a bunch of shit off. You think it's crazy to put James Brown in front of Beyonce?

No. No. But then he started saying Bruno Mars and some other shit, too. It's crazy to put Chris Brown in front of Beyonce. I think so, too. It is. That's the only one that I disagree front of Beyoncé. I think so too. It is. That's the only one that I disagree with. And follow up, performance wise?

Yes. Yeah, I think Beyoncé does the thing that your people do. And I'm not saying, hold up, I want to clarify myself because I'm a huge Chris Brown fan. Me not that far. Chris Brown, because of out of the studio incidents, will never have the opportunity to make his performance look like that. It's not that I don't think he's capable of. And I think they know it and they purposefully don't want him to go down in this situation.

But as it stands, we've never seen it. I've never seen it. I've never seen it. I've never seen it. And to correct you, I have seen Chris, not Chris Brown, Beyonce performed with a bare minimum and go absolutely crazy, but you don't have a mic, so I don't think that's fair. Can we also just acknowledge the fact

that she does her entire stage presentation in fucking high heels? Can we just acknowledge that? Singing. Singing, yes. The thing that blew me away on the rewatch of the Beyonce bowl, of course, was the performance. But she killed the vocals laying on her back being carried.

She killed the highs. She especially killed the lows, which is where you can hear people that could sing fuck it up when they try to, you know about all that vocal control shit. So we'll talk later. But her vocal, the way she controls that shit, yeah, no, I can't, I can't.

I can't, I can't, they're like, she's there. And fuck Hulk Hogan. For real, that's a moment, that's something I never thought I would say in my life. Why? Me too, I agree with him. Because I grew up on Hulk Hogan. But some of the whites will show you who they are

when you give them a couple decades. She never thought you'd say fuck Hulk Hogan. Even when he said whites will show you who they are when you give them a couple decades. You never thought you'd see Hulk Hogan. Even when he said, even when he said nigga the first time, I wasn't all the way mad at him. That's what I was telling people. Niggas wasn't what they... Some of the whites will show you. Nah, he went a little crazier.

He went crazier than that first nigga. That's a couple. They showed you who they are. The Jerry Springer doc came out today on Netflix. Yes. Can't wait to watch it. Yes. All I had was Netflix in the hotel.

It kept showing me what was coming soon. Right? Did you watch Quick Games? Coming Tuesday. Did you watch Quick Games season two? I have not. Yes. What do you think, Joe?

Okay, it's not one. I like, but I like. We don't know. We don't really. It's not gonna be one. Ended on a cliffhanger. But I like that season one was revolutionary. Season three is coming out, I guess, this year sometime. Yes.

Someone said maybe as soon as February. I don't know if that's true. But it was half a season. Yes. But what I'm saying is that I saw so much negative reviews on it, but it wasn't as bad as they made it seem. By episode four. Oh, yeah.

That's number four on my list. 2025. I want to read less of what the internet has to say about this. Yes, I agree with that one. The internet be wrong. The internet be wrong. Sometimes it can sway you from watching it. They had me thinking that Squid Games 2

was about to be horrible. I watched it, I didn't feel like that at all. Not me neither. And I wasn't mad at the cliffhanger like they was. I wasn't. Especially when it said, next season for the finale 2025. I'm like, oh shit, that's now.

No, you gotta watch the Jackal. I'm telling you. Don't interrupt our squid game review. That was Jackal. What the Jackal? Where is it? Watch. Peacock.

Watch. We came in here talking. The Jackal I'll get to, Cross I'll get to, there's a few that y'all are causing. He was nominated too. The guy who plays Jackal. No,, there's a few that y'all. He was nominated too. The guy who plays Jackal. No, we talking about Squid y'all. Y'all shut the fuck up.

What's wrong? Are y'all crazy? Sorry, go ahead. He bought it. Squid games. Or as I've renamed it, Squid non-games. Why did you? You didn't play many games?

The first Squid game was revolutionary because those games were amazing. Those games were like, you were sitting at home like, oh shit, if I had to do that. Those games were top of the notch. Whoever created those or put that together killed it. This one, seven episodes, the first game was the same game as the last game, which was red light, green light. I'm not mad at that, because they killed that. Then it was only two games after that.

And those two games, I was sitting home like, oh, I would kill this. They weren't groundbreaking games to me. One was you tie the five of y'all up together. You go around in the big circle, and you hop around, and you have to do a squid game appetizer, small games. games, spin, spin the thing. I'm a jiggy, the game that they initiate you on with slap the whatever they call it out there. And then the next game was hit the rock with the rock.

The next game was all us get in a merry-go-round and whatever number they say, that's how many people we have to go pull in a room. I like how they made it interesting. I like how they... I see how that could be tough. If it's all of us here and the niggas scream three then we got a fight about which three of us to go but I'm gonna pull two of y'all in the room with me. I didn't think that was the toughest of games to play. So yeah, squid non-games for me. I hated those games. Did?

The games? I hated the games. I want to shout out to Thanos. Yell, Thanos is a fucking annoying. Yo! Don't do that. Don't do that. Thanos was the Korean rapper guy.

He was giving them bars in there. And he got a little crew together and he tried to thug some niggas out. He was hopped up on Adderall or some shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to shout out to Thanos. I want to shout out to the transgender girl. She was nice. She was crazy. When she hit the fan she was... She was absolutely fire. I liked Squid Game's character development. That's true, I like that too. And I like that whoever loses the game, it'd be a bunch of people that they wasn't introducing us to anyway.

That's a fact. That's a fact. He didn't lose the game, but what happened to him? Well, they're gonna kill a few people that they made you like, but for the most part, when all these niggas are like, I don't care about him, move, move. Y'all wasn't teaching me about him anyway. I like the, I like like, I don't care about him. Yeah, move, move. Y'all wasn't teaching me about him anyway.

I like the, I like the, I like their. A new homie with the boat was shady, man. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he was shady. I like that. He looked shady. Yeah, he was. You could find his fucking island there.

He wasn't trying to find the island at all. So dude on the boat is shady. I like how contestant 001 in the last one was the older dude and how 001 this time was homie's brother. How did you feel about 456 entering back the game? Did you think that that was? Noble. Yeah, till you-

Noble of him. Got it, so you liked that part. Not originally, but once he went in there running his back, I'm trying to save all of you. I said the same thing. I'm trying to get you out of here. Stand still. He and they're trying to save their life. They turned on him. How do you know the rules to the game? We'll fuck you up.

Meanwhile, 001 is the op in there. That was it. I love when the guards, I liked in the first season, when they wanted y'all to kill each other, they gave y'all knives. Like to eat the steak or whatever. Oh shit, we got knives by the Achilles niggas. This time they gave you forks when it was time to get busy. So it was like, okay, they about to fight.

I don't know how when everybody is fighting, the people hiding under the beds survived. What about that nigga that put, that didn't seem hard at all. What about the pussy nigga on top of the bed that let the girl that he like die? That nigga was crazy. That nigga was crazy. He's was like a son of a bitch.

He was a bitch for that. He threw a bottle down and then watched the thing. And I just love how Squid Game's, you know what? I'm going to sound shady right now because I don't be watching all of the British shows with all of these accents and dubs. Squid Game is the only show I watch where I like these corny voiceovers.

Oh, it's horrible. It's so bad that it's a part of the show for me. Well, because it goes back to our childhood watching the Kung Fu flicks and shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's bad like that. Hello, Johnny. I like Money Heist.

Y'all ain't like Money Heist. I like Money Heist. I like Money Heist, too. But I like the voiceover shit they did on Money Heist. Yeah, but Squid Game is way spoofier. Yeah, it is. They lead into that shit. Like Money Heist did a good job.

They lead into that shit. Squid Game is a horrible voiceover, but it's kind of part of the show. What else did I like about Squid Game? I like anything that accentuates humans' need for greed. That's the whole show. It's real. It's real.

It's real shit. That was always- Idealistic bullshit. That was always interesting. Yeah, that's the whole show. It's real. It's real. Yeah. It's real shit. That was always- Idealistic bullshit. That was always interesting. I loved how this time they did the voting system more. That's what threw me off because I forgot in season one-

They did it once. When you did it once, they sent them back home. So this one had me on a cliffhanger each time they did it because I'm like, okay, what's going to happen if they all say they wanna cancel the game? So that was something that stood out to me. Each time. I can't wait till the old rich guy gets it, I'm not gonna lie.

The old rich guy, or not rich, but he was like in debt like $100 million, and he's been oppie since the get go. You think he gonna get it? What? Nah, they can't kill four, five, six. Not four, five, six, I'm talking about the old dude that's in there, that keeps every time

they're trying to do the vote shit, is trying to sway everybody's opinion and shit. Yes, but I'm saying is that 456 would have to die in order for him to win. Remember, only one person can win. I'm saying wait for him to go. I'm saying he can't wait for him to get killed. Oh, get killed. Oh.

Unless they decide, because now they're saying they can split the money, so unless everybody decide like, okay, we're going to cancel the game, so hopefully they do that. The other thing that pissed me off about these niggas, yo, I voted for us to continue playing the game because after the next game, we'll have enough money to quit. And then they win the next game, get the money, they watched all these niggas die, and be like, nope, I still want to play. And I don't know the, the, the one... That speaks to the greed though. I don't. And I don't know the wand currency. I don't know the wand currency.

Oh yeah, it's a lot. It sounds like a lot. It sound like a lot to my American ears. Like, I'm forging an 80 million wand in debt. I'm like, nigga, then get up. Yeah, you're right. I like it. I like it.

I need to watch it. I do want to see the next season. Hopefully it comes out soon, but it was a great watch for me. I enjoyed it. I liked it. I need to watch it. I do want to see the next the next season. Hopefully it comes out soon, but it's great. It was a great watch for me. Hey, yo Mel, I've been trying to find a way to watch this Luther Doc man. I can't find it. I can't find it either. I can't find it.

It's on CNN. It's on Hulu. It's on CNN too. It's out there. I'll be in it. Only you know what's on CNN streaming services. Well, CNN, it's on Hulu as well. Wait, they said they're killing Patti LaBelle?

I saw that on a blog. They're right. Yeah. To kill Patti LaBelle? What Patti did was wrong, but I don't like the way they framed it. So the documentary is fine. It's one of those things you just talked about,

where I was expected to be the greatest documentary of all time. I'm a huge Luther Vandross fan. I'm working on a book on Luther Vandross. And I was like, expecting something different. You're writing a book about Luther? Yes. If this world was, yeah, you an ill nigger.

Did you get permission? He can't just do that. You're gonna leave family in the book? You're gonna write a book about people? I mean, I did know his mother, she lived in Philadelphia until she died in downtown Philadelphia. Yeah, drop it, pick it up. But no, I did know his mother, she lived in Philadelphia until she died in downtown Philadelphia. Drop it, pick it up. But no, I didn't have any permission.

And I actually wanted to talk about Luther's love life and his life through the lens of love. Oh, so you patty little bell too. No, that's the point, that's the challenge, right? Is how do you talk about somebody who's never outed themselves and their love life and how do you deal with their sexuality? And so when I watched this documentary,

I was like, how are they going to deal with this? And every single person said Luther was looking to find somebody. Luther wanted to find that person. It was very gender neutral. But what they did was they used this watch what happens live interview of Patti LaBelle where she was very clear in saying

Luther didn't want people to know he was gay. Andy Cohen asked her the leading question, did Luther want people to know he was gay? Why didn't Luther come out? And she answered the question, right right she should not have answered that question Luther did not want her to answer that question Luther spent his whole life not answering that question Oh y'all don't know how old people work

Yeah I was about to say that I ain't surprised You still know him Ma You know how old Patty don't give a fuck And especially some old person that really loves you and think that you might have been embarrassed for no reason or thinking that, you know what I mean? Like, they didn't tell. Yeah.

Who thinks she did it without the love, without having him in her heart? I don't think that her intentions were bad. I think she had good intentions. Yeah, I think she had good intentions, but I also think that at her age and as long as she's been in the business, like diplomacy has to have, like, you know, kind of kicked in, and it didn't. I think that Baca was kicking in. I she's been in the business, like diplomacy has to have like, you know,

kind of kicked in and it didn't. She answered the question. I think that Vodka was kicking in. I think she was on the show, she was drinking, she got loose. I mean, Quincy Jones did the same thing, not the drinking part, but toward the end of his career, he starts, oh yeah, that committee, you know,

Richard Pryor, yeah, he used to suck dick, you know. He was, I mean, it's literally what Quincy Jones was doing. He used to talk, you don't do that shit, that's not okay. I feel like Richard Pryor out. Quincy is doubting himself though. But Quincy is different than what Paigal about it. Right, he don't do that shit, that's not okay. I feel like Richie Fiery. Quincy is doubting himself though. But Quincy is different than what Patti LaBelle did. Right, he told some stories about people, Quincy, a wild doubt.

He did. Patti LaBelle, I think, was coming from a place like, yo, this is my friend, he wasn't doing anything wrong. He might've felt, cause you know back then too. Homosexuality got looked at, totally different. Yeah, but Luther died in 2005. It wasn't like he died in the 70s. It was 20 years ago.

Yeah, but if in 2005. He was still with that away in 25. It wasn't like he died in the 70s. It was 20 years ago. Yeah, but if in 2004- It still looked that way in 25 and 20. Yeah, he was the man in the 80s. Luther was the man in the 80s. He died in 2005, but that wasn't at the height or pinnacle of his dominance in the music industry. Kind of what? I mean, it wasn't and it was.

It was his most crossover. He died right as he got his first number one overall hit. Dance With My Father. Dance With My Father. Dance With My Father. So the idea is now the whole world knows who he is and he still didn't want the world to know he was gay. Everybody care about that white shit? I'm talking about- Luther did.

But Luther. No, I'm with you. What are you talking about, Dance With My Father? You don't disrespect that record. I'm not disrespecting the record. What I'm telling you is Luther Vandross in the 90s was black royalty. Yes.

So fuck Dance with my fathers. We looked at that nigga as something different from his catalog prior to that. And he didn't want those people in the 80s and 90s to know he was gay. That's my point. So now Patti LaBelle comes on an interview. Patti LaBelle's giving an interview saying,

yo, whatever you was doing that you might've been ashamed of, it was nothing to shame to that and let it go. That's not her choice to make. I'm not just. But he's dead. He's dead. Joe, if I told you right now, I got a secret, and I don't want anybody to know. It's not a secret.

I'm Muslim, right? So if I don't talk about religion in public, I don't want anybody to know. I just talk about it off air, right? So when I die, you can just go tell everybody? No, you just moved the goalpost. You did? How?

If you tell me a secret, and I hold that secret down, and the world learns your secret And then after you're gone the question is posed to me with your secret I'm going to answer the question, but here's especially if it's a different world where yeah Here's why I think here's a I'm sorry to me. I'm just saying if it's a different world where people are now more Accepting yeah, right. Here's why that doesn't fit to me where people are now more accepting of the female. And here's why that doesn't fit to me. No one has ever confirmed Luther's sexuality in public

except Patti LaBelle. That's true. It wasn't like the world discovered he was gay, and then she said, well, why didn't he come out? No one has, when you look at that whole documentary, when you ever read every article, ever, no. I haven't seen it. No friend of Luther Vandross' has ever

confirmed his sexuality. He's right. Luther asked every single friend, or assumed every single friend, to not reveal his sexuality. So it wasn't like the world found out and then she just answered the question. That I can respect.

So we just assumed that he was gay. So you swayed me with that. So she confirmed the assumption. But no, cause he swayed me. He's right, if Luther told every single person, yo, I don't want y'all to tell. He literally has said that, if you ask Roberta Flack, if you ask,

you can't ask Ouija board to ask Aretha, but if you ask anybody else who's alive, yeah, that's my only thing. It's like, you can't do Ouija board to ask Aretha, but if you ask anybody else who's alive, then you're right. That's my only thing. It's like you can't do that. That's my only issue. You swayed me. I'm gonna move now. If he specifically asked him, yeah, then you're right.

I agree with that. That's what I'm saying. Because even in death, honor his wishes, but you're right. Now, Patty's people are coming out now saying they feel like they were made into the villain though, in the film. In the film, they make it seem almost as if America or the world had no consciousness about Luther's sexuality

until she said something about it, which also isn't fair. Because the world knew Luther was gay. I mean, there came a point where the world began to feel like Luther was gay, maybe not in the 80s and 90s. Because my mom, no, I'm telling you, there's a lot of old black women that go to church that don't know they man is gay. They don't know they deacon is gay.

They don't know pastor is gay. There's a lot of black people who like to be in denial about sexuality. They knew Luther was gay. Some did. I hear about Freddie Jackson too. A lot of people tell me they didn't realize it until 20 years later.

And I'm not outing Freddie Jackson. I think Freddie started to talk about it. I think you're outing Freddie Jackson. No. Shit, that's crazy. I never heard of that. Freddie's my man, I never heard that. I didn't hear that either.

Careful when you say that shit, man. Shut up, ish. I never heard that. Freddie Jackson my man, I never heard that. I didn't hear that either. Careful when you say that shit, man. Shut up, bitch. I never heard that. Freddie Jackson was handsome? How about Freddie Jackson? You, you, really? Wow. Yeah.

For old times sake. Hilarious. You and my lady? That was Suluza. Was Whitney ever out? Yo. Oh shit. Yo, yo, yo.

All right, now it's been a great show. Yo, yo, yo, yo. You can't do that. That's crazy. That was the loser was Whitney I'm trying to find a way to yes what was Whitney gay? Ours Robin wrote a book about it. I heard she was bisexual. Well, we know she. Yeah. My public answer is that Robin has had, I'm sorry, that Whitney has had friends, like Robin, her best friend, say that they were in a sexual relationship.

Oh, they said, OK. She did. She talks about their sexual relationship and their love life. Oprah's not gay. Nigga, this whole place was shut down. I don't, I know, he challenged everybody. Yeah, gang, stand on it, nigga, yeah.

I never heard nothing. You haven't? About her being with women? Oprah? No. With Gale? Allegedly. Those are the rumors.

I don't know. I never heard nothing. This has been a great show. Yeah, sleepers. They've been sleeping on this shit. I think we absolutely killed today's show. Round of applause. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Welcome back. Clap it up. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Before we leave, before we get to Sleepers, I just want to call you. Send a quick, quick, quick shout out to Shotgun Shug. Yeah. Yes, sir! Jersey, Jersey, Jersey.

Not him, not him the person, because I don't have a problem with him the person, but just some of the movements. I'm cool. I hated that. With Remy, right? I'm thinking about him one time. And on the front.

Yo, Remy, you love me? Yes. Yes. That's just a punch line. I could have, Remy, you love me? Yes. Yes. That's the punchline. I could've, no comment, yo. Out of nothing but respect for Remy, no comment. I hated that bar, that's a comment. Oh, my thing is, it was terrible. I'm tired of everybody running around saying,

oh, enough with the Remy bars, enough with the Remy bars. Nigga, he is using Remy bars himself. And in battle rap, this is gonna happen. Yo, niggas is still making trick trick jokes to my brother. Niggas is still talking to Hitman about the situation that happened to him. Like, we don't get to pick and choose.

Battle rap is battle rap. If something happen, your business get out there, it's gonna be used against you. That little four bar run where Suge was like, he was talking all that shit about Geechee hiding behind a tree, but they were strapped in the end, and he had to make a decision.

But when we saw you under that tree, you changed your religion over there. What the fuck he said, I was like, oh shit. And I wanna give Suge, I don't wanna call him most improved, cause he's been on a little run. He's been on a run. 100%. That was my first time enjoying him that way, Pauze.

Very confident. He slowed it down. Slowed it down, confident, yeah. It was slower, it was legible, it was bar city. That was, I tipped my hat to Shook. Tipped my hat to Shook, big jersey. Yeah, fuck out of here, Eazy, all them excuses. Yeah, talking about the venue, talking about jersey.

Yeah, yeah. Niggas, y'all booked it. Niggas always go to places where they boo the fuck out of Eazy. Well, when he battled Cassidy, they booed my brother the second he walked out there. He didn't even touch the stage and he booed the whole way. You gotta fight through that. Yeah, you do.

Got to. But my thing is, Eazy You and Rym are a thing. Y'all booked this. You don't now get to say they set me up by having it in Jersey. It's y'all event. I hated that little punchline bar. It was terrible.

Oh my God. All that shit was terrible. Real quick, I rewatch Loaded Lux and Rum Niddy on YouTube. Rum Niddy 2.1. You changed it? Mm-hmm. I said it already. Yeah, he said that.

I didn't know that. I said I changed it. Because he had to deal with Lux, and Lux showed up, but he dealt with him. He did. Mm, I don't know. He dealt with him. I give the edge to Rum Niddy.

Rum Niddy. I do. I still got Lux. What am I going with for my sleepers? Sleepers, where'd you get those sleepers? I'm going old school. I'm going old school. Let's see if I have this. Let's see if I could still spell. Alright, I'm going with Lloyd,

That's number five. That's number five on my 2025 list. Space less. Space less. No. No. I'm giving y'all my list. I'm not telling nobody what to do with their list.

Oh, no, I was saying, I don't believe some of the stuff on your list. Less is slid during an active case and 10 years and fuck. Outside of that, anybody do what know what you do, what? Stop doing that, bro. This dumb nigga gonna say, no, that's not me calling you dumb. But fuck you gonna say I called TMZ on my son. I didn't say that, I said the streets said it.

No, he said it, but I said it. I said the streets said that. TMZ said it. TMZ never said no shit like that. I'm joking. I told the streets they was lying. And that shit is insulting to me as a character. Yo, streets.

Yo, streets, stop lying over me. I had your back. But Ice, so that park said in the group then? No, I said what the streets said. The streets said, yo, this nigga Flip called TMZ. How do you do it? Tell them. I didn't do that.

That nigga is just, that shit hurt my feelings. I said, yo, you're lying. I wanted to fire you so bad. Why would you fire at me if I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That's what I was that? That was over there by Moffo. I told him I'll be over in this area. They came.

They did. They did. You did it in New Jersey? Of course I did. I thought they caught you in Queens. No. I thought they caught him at an airport. Yeah.

It was just at his crib. No, I got him. That was your kitchen. A schedule meetup. Usually they catch a nigga at the airport. In his kitchen. Outside the club. Nah, they don't catch you at the airport.

That's not how it works. but they reached out and said, yo, we want to speak about this situation. I hit E and up, he told me nah, but it was already too late. Wait. No, man. It's cool. That's the flipping Mark beef all over again.

Just let it rot. This is my man. I didn't do that. This is my man no matter what. You just want to find a reason to be, turn that shit off real quick. You just want to find a reason to be aggrieved. I get what you're saying, I'm down with you.

But there's no way you can watch that and feel like you flipped it. Yes you could. For real? You said you called Ian. No, he didn't know about that part. He just found out about that part today. Let Freeze cook though for us.

You said you called Ian. Ian, TMZ wants to meet me, give me something to say to them because I don't want to incriminate my man and I want to troll them. And what did he tell you? He said, give me five minutes, I'm gonna call you back. Then he sends me a text, yo,

Joe got some active shit going on, I don't think you should do it. But that was like 350 something. I was already on my way to meet them at four. So you didn't do it yet? No. And you still did it? And you still did it?

I'm not gonna tell them, yeah. I didn't do it. So your loyalty is to TMZ. No, my loyalty is to the content. But what I'm saying is that- Not to JBP. Don't do that, don't play, don't disc't do that. So your loyalty is to TMZ. No, my loyalty is to the content. But what I'm saying is that- Not to JBP. Don't do that. Don't play, don't disrespect me like that.

Don't disrespect me like that. They can see me out the room. When you watch it, I don't think it was bad at all, me. What'd they ask you? But that's not for you to decide. True, and if he decide- It's not on me to decide either. No, you didn't decide anything that was decide. It's not on me to decide either. No, you didn't decide anything that was bad.

It ain't on me to decide. If that judge would have took it away that you niggas are doing press while I got this active serious case going on, then that, you know what I mean? I get it, I get it, I got you. I thought I did a good job. What'd they ask you?

Just about to talk about Joe's character, then I stopped them and shit, and they're like, oh, hold on, that's my man. He didn't say nothing bad about me. His response was great. It's just the fact that there's press being done while I got this. I get it, no, I get it.

It's a very serious, serious shit. I was in serious shit. I get that I might've made it look a certain way, even though I don't even think that. I think I was looking stressed, bummed out, dirty sweats. I know you know you were stressed out. Old school was bad. What?

Oh my Lord, yo. But each time you got a call. You look fucked up? No, he didn't look fucked up. He was old school with that. What? Oh my lord, yo. But each time you gotta call. He look fucked up? No, he didn't look fucked up. He look rich fucked up. But each time you gotta call, each time you gotta call, we can see the tension come up, you know.

I'm telling you. Come down and down. He ain't look fucked up, he can't trick us. Let's strike a guess at this nigga, yo. We'll do a park race. The way I look right now, did I show up to park crib looking like that? Yes. No.

No. Difference in the You had no jewelry on, right? There was no time for no jewelry. N***a put his jewelry in the box. Oh my Lord, that jewelry had to go. That's number six on my list. Well, you're saying that though, yeah.

That's jewelry. You acted for me. I couldn't get it back in. No, you didn't. Oh my God. I made the call. The goon walked in for real. Wait, what?

Hey, it's cold out there, isn't it? I'm like, wait, bitch, go to bed. It really be, if you watch Joe's face, it really begins, he just tried to think, like, what the fuck is going on?

No, if I had hindsight back in the day, I'd have never dated Scorpio. You think it's, you believe in the sign thing, right? I believe it. I'm starting to. I believe it. You started to? I know you didn't believe it.

Scorpios and Tauruses really are for Virgos. I think any other sign of Virgo will spin them right into the grave. But Tauruses and Scorpios don't know how to play right. They like the shooters of the signs. Yeah, I ain't no Taurus. I gotta learn more about signs. I don't really do that. Virgo Capricorn Strong, bro.
