Actually I only get in trouble with these corporations because the fans are the best and the worst. Thank y'all. Thank y'all for letting corporate know when I sleepwalk butt ass neck into somebody's door.

Thanks. Really appreciate the fan base. Couldn't have got here without y'all. Keep the applause going for the best fans in the world. Hey. All right. I am mind blown. And that's tough to do with the way that my mind is structured.

We were talking about, I don't know, I wasn't even here for the talk. We were talking about PodWise is Ian's wife on the network. Technically she is because PodWise, the show, new episode out now. Huh, huh, analytics, huh? Analytics, lot of ladies, huh? Ian's wife is technically on the network, and they found her doppelganger on the Dave Chappelle show many, many, many years ago on that, what skit was that?

Who Knows Black People. Who Knows Black People. That lady looks exactly like Ian's wife. I even told my girl, I was like, look, they found somebody that looked exactly like Jules. I just texted you, it is her. It's just, what up? From what I haven't seen.

The consensus of the crew is that is her. I would have never said that. I don't think that that logistically could be Julia because that was shot 20 years ago and that would have made Julia what, 12 at the time? I was saying something like that. Like Jules is, I don't even know how old Jules is, but I figured she was 13 when that skit came out. Pretty much.

I've not seen the skit. I'm telling you what, I've seen the skit, everybody said. And then Ian confirms, I don't know if Ian is playing though, because Ian plays a lot. Yeah, he'll play into something. Yeah, he'll lean into some shit. You're like, I can never really tell what him,

Ian is saying that that was Julia, his wife. And because they married, I can't really get my jokes off the way I would like. Because when you marry your girl, then the jokes are off limits. Even though when you're with your girl long enough, I think the jokes are kind of off limits. Oh. Wait.

No. Y'all think that? Yeah. Oh. Y'all don't. Y'all crack a lot of jokes up here about niggas and they girls. Y'all don't think that? Mm-hmm.

I don't. I think that. Okay. I cross all lines and limits. I don't believe that. I be cracking on you. I know. Not her.

At the expense of who? I don't know her. Huh? At the expense of who? If you're cracking relationship jokes, white jokes pertaining to him, you know, he likes to dip his tip in milk and all that tricky shit.

Yo. Eat some of that. Yo. What? Wow. You talking about him? you know, he likes to dip his tip in milk and all that freaky shit. Eat some of that. What? You talking about him? His what? His girl? I can see that. I can see that. Oh, that's interesting.

I can see that. It's not personal to her. No, it's not a personal issue. I don't know her. No, it's not personal at all. I don't like that. I don't like that. No, it's not.

You do know she watches as well, so she knows when you're cracking jokes about her or pertaining to her. I don't crack jokes about her. Like I don't know her. Yo dawg, we can progress the conversation. What I'm saying is everybody up here is stuntin'. I don't think it's right to crack jokes on nobody girl or wife if you've been together for more than five years. Under five years, your bitch do some doofy shit, then we're gonna talk about it. Well, I ain't been with my mom five years.

Y'all crack a joke, we gonna end up squaring up. I don't crack on Freeze. I don't do that. He don't leave the opening to crack on him. That nigga sealed tight, nigga. He don't crack. You know the shit that go around your door? I crash out over mine. Big Freeze. Big Freeze. That's how it should door? I crash out over mine. You know the shit, whatever. Big Freeze.

Big Freeze, that's how it should be. I crash out over mine too. Yeah, what's up? Freeze, you know the plastic shit you put around your door when it's cold? Yeah. You got all of it. All of it. Little sealant.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No draft coming through? No, not a draft. Not even a fucking... I respect that, Freeze. Big Freeze, how y'all doing, man? Good, man. What's up? What's up? How you doing? I'm doing good. You look amazing, Freeze. Big Freeze. How y'all doing, man? Good, man. What's up? What's up?

I've been in enough clubs with Ish, no he like a good step and repeat now. That boy gonna get in front of the step and repeat and lick his lips. That's my man. I got a cracker, that's why you here. I'm feeling good, wifey woke up, made some eggs with spinach. Okay, okay, come on now. Eggs with some spinach in it, made some pork bacon even though she don't eat pork. Yeah.

Yeah, excuse me. Ain't that the best? Yeah, put yourself to the side and please your nigga. It's bigger than you. Yeah, yeah, it ain't about you right now. You don't eat it, but cook it. Yeah, yeah. Then I felt bad, because the whole house would smell like pork.

Stopped at Short Hills for the people all over the world. That's the expensive mall in Jersey. Stopped at the Short Hills, copped something real quick, put the roll for the people all over the world, that's the expensive mall in Jersey. Stop at the short heels, cop something real quick, put the rollie on through it in the sky, wave it side to side, keep your hands high. I look like the poor version of you. You don't look poor, stop it. Compared to what you got on, we look like

a before and after picture, man. No, no, no, no. Not really, those are boobs you got on your feet. No way, no way, and that's an off-white tee right there and the jacket. I see how you doing it. These jeans are baggy for you. Like, I see what you did. It's mad funny because the lady in the store is like,

do you want a bigger size? I said, this is the biggest size I've ever worn in my life. Yeah. I'm going to give you a hammer out of this bitch. 34? 33. Oh, shit. My guy, Parks, threw on the long sleeve green polo.

The green polo. The green polo. The green polo that's dressed up for Parks. A little something, a little color. Shout out to everybody out there that's still got a Christmas tree up. It's about time. It's time. It's time now.

It's bedtime. It's almost March. I ain't gonna hold you. Now you can do Valentine's Day. I took it down about a week and a half ago. Sicko. Wow. I know, I know.

That's way longer than normal for me. If my Christmas tree, I think my girl Christmas tree is still up. We've been together, you can't talk about it. If the tree is beautiful, like you put a lot of work in the tree and it's just beautiful, and you love the pine smell, I'm not mad that you let it rock too.

That shit ain't still pine this time. It gotta be fake, it gotta be fake. Yeah, gotta be a fake tree. That shit ain't fake. The pine spray. Yeah. The little sticks. That's pine salt. The little sticks in there. They gotta be fake. Yeah, gotta be a fake tree. The pine spray. Yeah. Put the little sticks in there. Put the little sticks in there.

I got a flip mail looking good. Hey, you know, ten years. You said come dressed like we were going out on a date at six o'clock. I was like, wait, for the senior special or something? I don't know, I thought that was like a crack, but it's okay. No, I wasn't trying to be funny. That was like my best instruction. Okay. Because I feel like a dinner date at 9 p.m. gives a different look than 6 p.m.

Sure, it does. Absolutely. And I didn't want to be caught saying that to a lady. Like, hey, get dressed like it's dinner at 10. Like, that's a little flagrant. So, 5, 6 p.m. Is there a difference for you? As a woman? Uh, well, if it's after 10 p.m., I'm not going. It's too late. Nine.

The same. I'm saying it's pretty much the same. Same outfit, right? Yeah, we're gonna start with lies. You're talking about happy hour. You know what? Hold on, hold on. Hold up for me.

You are right. Wait, hold up for me. Let's give it up for lies. We couldn't have gotten a 10-year. No, we could not have gotten a 10-year without some lies. That's a fact. I ain't gonna lie to you. Now, you're right. You're right. Wait, hold up for me. Let's give it up for lies. We couldn't have gotten to 10 years without some lies. No, we could not have gotten to 10 years without some lies.

That's a fact. I ain't gonna lie to you. You're right. Yeah, all right. Yeah, man, I'm not gonna go. Ish. Good day, sir. What's up?

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? I'm gonna spread my man name. Yeah. There you go. When everybody knows your name.

Let's go, Ish. You ain't even give us a new That's That Ish sweatsuit colorway. This is new. I said a new That's That Ish colorway. I mean. Carolina Blue is dressy for light skinned niggas with nice eyes from the 90s. Carolina Blue. You gotta talk to your management.

Mmm. What happened? I didn't get the memo. Oh yeah, Ish had the Uno Reverse card in his pocket that said that he's not in the group chat because he has a green bubble which is very immature of us. I never looked at it that way until he said it. He might have a point, but I'm not ready to be that level of a Jordan.

Y'all think Ish should be in the group chat, even though he makes the bubble green? Yes, if you make an announcement. Ish has an iPhone. Now also, does that... Yeah, Ish, you got an iPhone from when you was a sports agent. I key.

You was a sports agent? Oh. I just didn't know. Yes, I just didn't know. He was a sports agent. Listen to this, this is a business. Oh. Oh, yes. I just didn't know. Yes. I just didn't know. He was a sports agent. Listen to this. For a few weeks.

This is a business. So if it was a personal homie's group chat, y'all could say that. When it's a group chat pertaining to work. I remember one time we was off. I came to work. Y'all laughing. Ha ha, keep keep.

Nigga, I came here, drove my ass from home, got up early, came to the work. Oh yo, you ain't get the group chat? We off today. You have an iPhone. I don't use that bullshit. Use it now. It's a Y-Phone.

I'ma just open up the iPhone and carry two phones just in case I get a group chat. You did it when you was a sports agent and you was trying to get LeBron to LA. It did. Yo. And he did. And he did. I just ain't get the commission check. That's when they fired him. Soon as LeBron to LA. And he did. And he did. And he did. And he did. I just didn't get the commission check.

That's when they fired him. Soon as LeBron signed. Stupid. We're good now. So again, I didn't get the memo that we were supposed to come in dapper. So all you gentlemen and lady look nice. Well that's the PC version of the talk we had off air. It is.

I cursed the niggas out. The talk we had off air. Giving me that Joe voice. Was issues of fat fuck. Joe, why do you keep saying I'm fat? Anyway. You're trying to trigger him. No, no, no, it ain't gonna work today.

Not today, not today. It's not gonna work. It's nothing but positive vibes. I won't trigger y'all and anything y'all have done to trigger me and while we were away from here, I won't let it affect me today. Oh, well. That's the deal. Okay, ten years. No triggers on our anniversary.

Save them for Friday. All right. Deal? Deal everyone. Is it a deal? I'll do my best. All right, we got a deal. Mark is going to be the one to do it.

I had this whole talk with my girl this morning about who was going to be the one to do it. It's going to be Mark because he don't be here for the Friday so he can come in with that oblivious, hey, hey, I saw the show. That's my favorite thing to do. Don't watch when you're not here. All right. I'm going to go get me a little thing to do. Don't watch when you're not here. All right, I'm gonna go get me a little water to celebrate. Ha!

We came here, we had to turn this shit up for this nigga. If it wasn't for us, this nigga wouldn't be, oh, he coming back. Get to that bar. He wouldn't be as lit. He caught me privately and said, oh, how you gonna say that? No more private. You can get to that bar. If it wasn't for us, he wouldn't be lit like that.

That's true. I believe that. I'm hitting around the block. He'll be lit. I don't know if you're trying to be funny right now. I truly believe that. Hey'm hitting around the floor. He'll be lit. I don't know if you're trying to be funny right now, I truly believe that. Hey, come on now. He'll be lit as Joe Budden, but we talking about like,

It was a good time. Classy. Yeah, it was a nice time. Was it a first date? Yeah, but I've known him for a minute. First date on Valentine's Day is a big deal. But it wasn't really like a first date because we hung out, but it was like him planning and doing all that stuff.

Yeah. I would never do that. Okay. He wasn't a stranger. That's the point. Fair enough. Is that he wasn't a stranger. It just sends a...

It sends a... A hell of a signal. Yeah. I'm not worried about the signal it sends. What if that's the signal he wanted to send? That's better man than me. Yes. Absolutely. Not about you, just in general.

You just put a lot of pressure on yourself when you make a major date on Valentine's Day. Well, he works in high pressure situations, so I think he's used to it. High pressure situations? It's like an interrogation. I like to probe my colleagues. Hey, yo. I don't think I cleaned anything up. I like to probe my colleagues. Hey yo.

They didn't miss the episode. Just, I saw their comments too, about free linky, to my free mouth violence. What? Damn. It was the worst. I didn't like that. You're lying. I went on Patreon, I told them, like, you know, you don't got a father.

I sort of disrespected them, but it's not about that. But, you know, we just had a conversation, just had some laughs,, she appreciated the gifts. Was she happy with her Valentine's Day? She was, she was. I bought her just some. A car, right? A fly shirt.

No, flowers, I bought her this Montclair hat she'd been wanting. She don't know about the car yet? She don't know about the car yet. It's coming. I bought her this perfume. Yeah, I just bought her some stuff, man. There you go.

Just step because it's- Did Joe put pressure on you? No, because it's important to step up. Sometimes, you know, we're just busy and, you know,

things, I don't celebrate Valentine's Day. I try not to celebrate these holidays or encourage the celebration. But when you're on a big broadcast, you have this man saying things and bringing gifts in front of you. So you like... Flowers for Mel.

And I ain't putting no pressure on nobody. I went and Chanel and sat in the nigga chair that's on the side. I went and Chanel let her run her mouth to somebody about whatever and went and sat right down. No pressure for me. Yeah. You're rich. You don't have pressure.

It ain't really small compared to New York's small. Oh, true, true, true. That's what I was thinking. I didn't know Parks had never been there. Real DJ? Yeah, yeah, real, very good DJ. You have great music. Then we left there and went to the last lap, met Imani,

had a little more fun, and got home about five in the morning. Jesus. Go ahead, last lap still around, huh? Yeah. Shit's still kickin'. Sure is. Where is that?

It's Lorryside. In the dirty part of Manhattan. Oh! It's the Lori sign. In the dirty part of Manhattan. Oh. It's in the nasty, stink, dirty part of Manhattan, but it's fine. It's fine. If you want to fuck a hipster girl, you go in there. I'm a hipster girl.

It don't just be hipsters. Not in there. Yeah, it'd be thugs. Yeah, I would know. I wouldn't know. It's not in my bag, but I've been there for times. We had a time, though. We had a time.

I'm glad you and Rem had a good time. Yeah, man. All right. All-star weekend, yes. Is that our start? Yeah, it could be. I mean, worst one ever. Yeah, it was pretty bad.

Did anybody watch? I watched the dunk contest, the three-point contest, and I was actually surprisedprised by the dunk contest at first it was horrible the first round was absolutely horrible but then the second two rounds were pretty dope homeboy from the Spurs and Steven Castle, yeah, they were crazy. Then you pick him. He's nice enough to be in a dunk contest No, I picked McClellan. He should have got more points for that dunk He did we definitely should have went through the rim and then did that through the leg He should have got more points for that dunk he did. He definitely should have went through the rim and then did the, through the, that was insane.

Steven Castle was nice enough for us to stop referring to him as the boy from the Spurs. He's all right. He's all right. Shout out to him, shout out to McClung. You know, I'm at the age where I didn't watch any of that shit Friday. Me neither.

Yeah, none of it. Valentine's Day, nah. Saturday, I was completely free. Didn't watch none of that shit. I didn't watch none of it either. Didn't watch none of it. I was like, damn, I'm at the age where I just don't care. Yo, All-Star Saturday night used to be the shit.

That was the one. You might have missed the Friday games, the celebrity game. The work used to be the rising stars challenge, all of that shit. But Saturday night, you was locked in. You was in the house. I didn't give a fuck about none of this shit.

I was in the house and didn't turn it on. So Sunday, I'm home because it's Sunday and I'm home. So you know what? I cut on the TV. I cut on the TV and we was getting ready to bust a move somewhere around nine, but I watched up until I leave. And what a clusterfuck.

What a clusterfuck, 45 minute intros. Right. I'm really glad I missed it. I watched the SNL shit which was great. I heard that one. That shit was real great. That was hot. Eddie Murphy's a fucking genius.

Eddie Murphy was on, right? Eddie Murphy was on, everybody was on. Everybody from the whole fucking history of the cast pretty much was on. And they did like a music thing on Friday night Which we went back and watched that was also actually pretty fire That that was way better than the all-star game You know who I don't want to see on a Sunday, which is reserved for all-stars all-star Sunday

No to one person. I don't want to see Dalton connect One person I don't want to see, Dawntons Connect. Yo, I tweeted, I said, oh shit, they moved the rising stars game to Sunday. They modified the whole, yeah, some tournament shit. They modified everything and somehow, Dawntons Connect was on an all-star floor,

and I like him, but him and all them other bum niggas that they had out there, that they had to face the OG squad, which is James Harden, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, it's like, yo, what are y'all trying to do to us on a Sunday? Yeah. And they tried to make it close a little bit. Once I saw the tournament layout shit,

I was like, I'm definitely not watching this. I'm not even looking forward to it. And if the tournament layout wasn't bad enough, listen, I love Kevin Hart as much as the next man. I know he has some type of deal with the NBA. It's over now. I don't want to see Kevin Hart. And some of that shit was a little funny just because I wasn't watching basketball. Fuck, mine as well makes crack couple jokes. I don't want to hear Kevin Hart that much on a Sunday, Kev. No disrespect to you.

And if that wasn't enough, right after the first game or something like that, Mr. Beast comes out. Why the fuck am I looking at Mr. Beef? Mr. Beast. Oh, what channel were you watching? Hey, yo. I don't want to look at Mr. Beast on All-Star Sunday. So now I'm sitting there like, oh shit, I never noticed Mr. Beef doesn't have lips. Beast, I'm saying Mr. Beast.

Mr. Beast doesn't have lips. Stop saying Mr. Beast. Stop calling him Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast doesn't have lips. He look like the skull teeth just talking. Like I don't know where he got his veneers or whatever the fuck is going on with his mouth, but it looks weird. And if that wasn't bad enough, Mr. Beast walks to the crowd and gets Jaren. Who? What's Jaren? Jaren.

Oh Jaren. He says, alright we're doing some three point shit. We're going to grab a random fan from the audience. He'll have to make one shot versus Dane Lillard who will have to make three shots to his one. They go to the audience, grabs Jaren. Jaren comes out they ask him, hey you ever played basketball? Yeah a little bit when I was a kid. He still looked like a kid, so I'm like,

all right, let's see how this goes. He goes out there and does what? You guessed it, bricks it up. Bricks it up. We gotta wait 13 minutes now for Jaren to make a fucking shot on a Sunday. Yeah, that's crazy. It was bad.

And if that wasn't bad enough, during the next break, who do they roll out? You guessed it, another nigga I can't, let me not say that, DJ Cassidy. You're so angry about this. I'm angry for Ish. I'm angry for my man DJ Cassie's a friend of the show he's been to the show came up here when he was a little under the weather spit all over ish put man flim germs and ish took it for the team too like a soldier he sat there just got spit on by some niggas talking about some ice right there spit that way no hey a three hour episode and DJ Cassidy spit all over his shit.

But took it for the team. I don't know why these companies, I'm saying this respectfully, I don't know why these companies and corporations feel like the best way to present our black legends is with DJ Cassidy. I'm cool just seeing too short. Yo, too short gonna come out and give me blow the whistle.

I don't need DJ Cassidy funny hat wearing ass in the back doing some 357 get loose, that's a sonic fucking choreographed day. I don't need to see it. I don't need to see it. Just give me E40 yo. I feel that. Just give me tell me when to go. I don't care y'all quiet.

That's how I feel. I wasn't mad at it because he also bought sweetie out. So I'm cool. Oh shit. That's the other thing. He found sweetie. So I was cool at that point. How'd she look? Beautiful.

Oh, here come parks again. I was cool at that point. Y'all love that sweetie. Yes. And everywhere she show up, she do look good. So let me not try to sound like she don't look good. I forgot she rapped. Me too.

I didn't know she ever did. I'm one of them. I thought, oh, shit, she did do the little blow to whistle, but all right, tap in. Hey. Guess who I don't want to see an all-star Sunday We brought out after that wait who was Involved in vogue now. I wasn't mad at in both. I love I was not mad at in both Well, you know what the Bay Area got a lot more legends than then than the world gives them credit for that's true

They've contributed way more to music than the rest of the world would like to recognize. That's a fact. Now, when Envo came out, I absolutely loved that. I couldn't figure out if Dawn was there. Why? Cause I don't know if Dawn was there. I don't know if the taller, attractive woman that was all the way to the right was Dawn

now that she's aged a little bit, or did they Dawn I know there was the Dawn in Vogue I'm old enough to know there was a little beef for a little minute so I don't know if Dawn was there she was she made it happen was that Dawn yeah oh then awesome awesome back in the same room I was happy about in Vogue I was happy about in Vogue nice nice nigga if you could be happy about Saweetie I could be happy about Invoke. Nice, nice. Nigga, if you could be happy about Saweetie, I could be happy about Invoke. Oh no, for sure, for sure. They had a dress of them. I like Invoke's music. I know, me too.

Ooh. What the fuck was that? What the hell was that? Remember she held a long note at the beginning of the first joint, hold on. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was my imitation of that. They had a dress of them.

I'll be back to you. I can't do it now. I can't do it now. I can't do it. Yeah, they looked great. They looked great. Chateau Vogue. Who, it was a lot of bullshit. It was a lot going on, though.

On that Sunday All-Star Week. Then the first time out of the game, I do like the Inside the NBA tribute that they did. That was fire. But. That was fire. That was the best part of everything I saw. I didn't want to see them niggas no more neither.

Nah, nah, you gotta do it right. And that, I just, it was the first time out of the game and that shit took like 15 minutes. Bro, it was long, but Paul's, I think that was the best part of everything that I saw from the whole weekend. They went through Craig, they went through Charles, they went through all these niggas when they was young.

Like that shit was fire, all the people that we lost. You know what I'm saying? So I think that was dope. I think they went out, because that's their last All-Star game. It's their last All-Star game. So I think that was fly. I just hate that the best, like you just said, the best part of the All-Star weekend wasn't the All-Star.

Yeah, you're right. That was the best thing I saw. And it's like, it used to be a thing. Like it used to be an actual good game. I used to be excited to actually watch the players play. And instead of like making the players just play, you know what I mean? They do all these other tricks.

Drafting players and doing all these other things. What happened? No, no, no, I wasn't even that. Timmy, raise the amount, go ahead. What happened, it was so lopsided after a while where the West was just so stacked, they had to, it took the excitement out the game You knew the West was gonna win so they tried to change it up with the draft

So now you mix in a player pool up where you're not getting everybody on the same squad And it's like that's stupid like to me what you do is to me you you make a big enough cash reward Because players make too much money to care about the all-star game. They got too much at stake You try to win a championship. You're not worried about it. But you put real money on it. If every player won even a million dollars, right? If every single player won a million dollars, I think players would play a lot harder. To win, I'm talking about to win.

I agree with that. But then what happens is you're risking getting injured for an exhibition game. Now we can't, you know what I'm saying? So they kind of don't want to play hard. They just make too much money that they really don't even give a fuck. I'm gonna keep it a buck, or so it seems.

I just remember the day. I said they need to do, I said many years ago that they need to do what baseball did and the winner of the All-Star game gets home court advantage during the finals. That would also make people play hard. Really? Yeah. Unless you one of the 10 bum teams

ain't got no shot at the finals anyway. But like, if there's enough players, like for the Knicks, for example, that's a good example. Y'all got two guys on there. Y'all have a legitimate shot at the, going to the finals. So, so Kat and Jalen gonna play hard. You know what I mean?

LeBron is gonna play hard. That would be fine. If he had played. Like, I think, I think it's a great idea. Yeah, that ain't a bad idea. You gotta incentivize it in some way, shape or form for them to even want to play. There was barely any basketball played.

They showed us players aggravated, frustrated from all the TV production shit. You gotta take them 20 and 30 minute breaks and then you want us to go out here and we can't. We know, we can't do it. We've cooled off and then you risk an injury. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

What I did see that I think will help to change things is Victor Wimbenyana. He wanted to play. Who not only wanted to play, was visibly upset at other people not playing. Yup. Yes. He's great enough and young enough to make a difference in this. What'd you think about him and Chris Paul doing that shit? Trying to cheat the system?

Skills challenge. That shit was sick. I liked it system? Skills challenge. I liked it. I did too. I liked it. I hated that shit. That's some Chris Paul fucking bullshit too. You know that Chris Paul came. Chris Paul said it was a victory idea.

I would say that too if I was Chris Paul. It did smell like Chris Paul. It did smell like Chris Paul, man. Come on, man. Like just do the skills challenge. The fans came to see a skills challenge, not to watch you try to win by pretending to throw shots against the wall. Throw the skills challenge in the garbage agree

that shows over that fly and give us a one-on-one matchup with that's all I care about some of our best one-on-one players in the NBA we never happening I would look because players don't get cooked I want to get exactly you know that's it I'm never doing that but that's the answer one-on-one is the one I say get rid of slam dunk Dunk Contest at this point. The shit is uninteresting. Nah, I think- We've seen all the dunks we can see.

I think next year it'll be better. I don't. Why? Why? Because people like Zach Levine and them are talking about potentially coming back. Zach Levine is 78 years old, man. Oh, and I saw what Ja Morant said.

Cha. He said that a couple years ago. Yo, Mac McClung, you inspiring me. Yeah, I know. I know. That's inspiring. Not the NBA dropping you as the face of the league for the next 10 years.

Right. Mackleung is getting you inspired. That's how I potentially get some of that back. The dunk contest is done because dunks are done. The excitement is not on the focus of the dunk no more. The league don't care about dunks. They don't care about dunks no more. Right.

It's not a highlight anymore. They don't give a fuck. No, I think the dunk contest lost its luster when these niggas started doing corny shit. There's nothing left to do. Nah, some of these. Shit. Bro, that's not true.

That was still doing some creative shit. Yo, if you watch some of these street- It's like it's all props now. These street dunking niggas, They kill it. They be doing crazy shit. Yo, check this out. That's true.

Don't do that shit. So it's some shit that you can find to do. Drop the hoop two feet. They're not gonna do that. I'm just saying like you- Put it up two feet, fuck that. Nah, that's a more- That's 11 feet maybe.

That might get some interest but yeah. And I heard them float an idea of the NBA versus the foreign players in the NBA. That they don't want that either. I don't lead them internationally. The international baseball. That would be women, Yana, Joker, Yana, freak, freak, Luca, Luca, Shy.

And then beat. Embiid, well, he'll be injured. He'll be injured. That's the only game he does play. Carl Anthony Towns would be on that team. That's a lot of jokes, bro. Leave that alone. Yeah, I don't want that. Don't bark up that tree.

That's gonna be a real awakening for the NBA. It's a test. And listen, you don't even have to do that every year. Do it every other year. That would fix things. We would wanna see that. Cause Shy was another one that took the game really seriously.

He took it seriously? Yeah. He took the game seriously. He wanted the MVP. That nigga wanted the MVP? Yeah. That nigga put the ball in the bucket, bro. I took it seriously? Yeah. He took the game serious? He wanted the MVP. That nigga want the MVP? Yeah. He want, that nigga put the ball in the bucket bro I don't give a fuck. He got moves in the elevator that nigga get to. Oh he a problem he probably gonna win MVP of the league this year. I don't think he deserve it but he probably get it. I think I still want Jokic to get it but. The NBA just ain't black enough no

more. Nah. That's the other elephant in the room. Right. It's not black enough. You think? It's definitely not black American enough. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. Victor and Minyama don't count. I want a nigga without parents. I want somebody who... I'm serious.

Single mom struggle. Single mom struggle. Yes. From the trenches. But you can't do... Whoever there Jesse Collins is that's in charge of producing this, you could tell, it's not like us. You could tell that, you know what, let me not say that.

Cause let me not just rush to raise some background. The NBA is an analytics driven league now. So you could see that they're applying that also to content creation and they're leaning to that more so than curation. I agree. And the other thing is... It's not curated properly. They're so international now, bro. Like China, all this other... like the NBA don't... America might not be the big market it was. They're not necessarily got to

cater to what we want to see. I think it's a three-day weekend, right? Whereas most events is just one day. So now you got to entertain the fans that are coming from across the country and all around the world for three or four consecutive days. So you got to come up with all these little goals. But the other leagues do that shit too. Who? Baseball has the home run derby on the night before.

Yeah, they do. They do. You know what I mean? Pro Bowl is not, they do their little quarterback challenge and all that shit. Pro Bowl is down in the drains too. It is. All that shit is trash. So you got a quarterback challenge. Pro Bowl is down in the drains too. All that shit is trash. So you got a whole weekend that you gotta entertain these people.

Thank God the fucking Canada and USA hockey teams got shit lit for me. They got shit shaking quick too. Thank God the day went out there, them brothers, whoever those brothers were, where the one brother scrapped, Timmy Slater, other brother, oh yeah I'm watching this. I'm watching this now. And that game that they played in the next game, won't be a ratings problem at all. Won't be a ratings problem at all. That's what you need, bring Chris Childs back.

Bring somebody back that's just gonna knock one of these niggas out real quick. Rest in peace, Kobe. I don't wanna be- I was like, you ain't have to get in the air. Rest in peace, Kobe. You stay with Chris Childs, go test that chin. I was like, you ain't. Rest in peace, Colby. You stay with Chris, you have to go test that chin. Bow.

We'll watch that one. Hey, put your Vontae Tank Davis in the skills contest. Call me. I'll Jesse Collins this shit right back to where it need to be. But yeah, as you now know, it's bad. I ain't been in a while. I don't even hear the baddies talking about going out to the city for the win.

It was out there. You got the call? Now it's time out. I did. Baddies are in San Francisco, period. The New Yorkers from the city. They went out there. The Starlings was out there.

I'm one of the badder than that now. But OK, I'm taking your word for it. Yeah, I'm not your word for it. Yeah, I'm not looking for it. I just want to hear the chatter. I just want to go to the airport on a Friday headed somewhere else and see the San Francisco gate lined up with them. Oh my God. Oh my God. Those are the good old days. It was. Back in the day. You old nigga.

You could put a shot up or two. What three? What, three? All right, I'll take your word for it. Nah, they was out there. The baddies are there, cool. My young boy called me and told me they was out there. Shit, nigga. They did.

Adam Silver, I think you got a shit show on your hands. I think that there's some credence to the inside, the NBA team only shittin' on the product. There was a lot of that too during the All-Star game. A lot of commentators just totally shitting on the product. Yeah, yeah. There's something to that. He was letting them out.

I mean, I like that he told the truth. He did. He did. That's why niggas that tell the truth don't be on TV. You gotta hype shit up. Your job as the commentator at those things is to make this interesting. I agree.

Not make you want to turn it off. I agree. Sorry. I think that's a bad job. I think you could have whatever Personal feeling you have but you're supposed to be selling the product you working for the NBA at that level I think you're supposed to try and jazz it up as much as possible I absolutely loved the Rafael Sadiq performance. I love the job that the band did I loved all of those Bay Area classics and hits that they were playing. I saw them play You Can't Touch This for about eight bars. I saw Gavin make a post about this as well.

But where was MC Hammer? And that's what I mean about Curation. That wasn't my question. That's what I mean about Curation. I thought he was coming out during the Cassidy set. How could you not bring MC Hammer out? He's the go-to dude. In San Francisco, the All-Star game.

They might have pitched it. I'm sure they probably did sure they might have pitched it Yo, I ain't sure about shit MC Hammer would have showed up Hammer would have been maybe maybe not and would have been there And maybe not him would have been there That alive in it up put the fucking baggy sequins pants on nigga And definitely and think about this the average goer wouldn't even have known who the fuck he was, bro. I don't care. I don't care. Really?

They would have known when the song came out. Twenty years old. Twenty-five? They would have known when the song came out. The kids don't know. My daughter met MC Hammer and was like, who the fuck is that? You think the average goer knew Invoke? But that's what I'm saying is like Gen Z, there's like a resurgence with Gen Z really

like kind of trying to figure out what was going on in the 90s and early 2000s. That's why they're all watching Sex and the City now. So I figured they would know the retro shit. They would know the song too. They would know Can't Touch This. They might know Can't Touch This. They might know Can't Touch This. Even if you just let them do a verse, right?

Too short, didn't do the whole blow the whistle. You just giving them a verse real quick. Blow the whistle has never died. Wait, you can't touch this. Can't Touch This is using commercials now. They still have Can't Touch This on TV. You know Can't Touch This. And it you can't touch this. Can't touch this is using commercials now. They still have Can't Touch This on TV. You know Can't Touch This. And it's the Rick James type,

I mean like they'll know the music, the music will resonate with them. Yeah. Okay. All right. Shit, fuck you Can't Touch This. Let them do pumps in the bump and put the bikini on again and go out there.

Like you did in the video. You gotta bring Shorty for the video number one. Yo. First of all that we want. Hey. Freak ass boy. What? Listen, Adam Silver, you got a hell of a problem video number one. First one that we won. Hey! Freak ass boy. Listen, Adam Silver, you got a hell of a problem on your hands but I'm not paying you to fix it.

Keep it simple. Good luck. Good luck to you and the players. I feel your frustration. I feel for them. Simplify that shit, yo. Do it too much. How can I be alive long enough to wear the All-Star Weekend? Just don't. Do it. I never would have thought they would have Money, bro NBA all-star with money, bro

Like the players used to look forward to it. I don't think the players look forward to I said it before I say it again They don't they don't put magic Johnson in the game again The best all-star game in the history of all-star games, watching them niggas get away from him. Right, you think they don't play defense now? Hey, my guy Magic was posting up that nigga Barkley saying, you got it. No, no, that was Carvalho. Carvalho said, nah, just score.

He ran a 0-5 zone. Bring Magic back. Bring magic back. Yo, I come from the all star of Mike versus Kobe still. No, the Kobe AI one was the best one. That was a great all star. That was there in D.C. That shit was amazing. That was the best one I've been to.

Like as far as the game. But again, you talking about Kobe. You had money for a while, you went. Yeah, he was there. You talking about Kobe, you talking about Steph, you talking about AI, them niggas was going, they wanted to win. They jumped the shit out of Kobe.

AI and Steph was all, jumped the dog shit up. But yeah, bro, people wanted to win. Now they don't give a fuck. It's just a different mentality in the league today. Too much money. Ain't no dogs. Too much money. It is no dogs. Too much money. It is, bro.

I don't think that's it. I think these guys are passionate, but whatever. That shit was a mess. The young niggas is passionate. Oh shit, do you know Mark Lamont Hill that we have our date reserved at the gym for basketball? What's the date? Keep.

And I think if you found a jean too, I think it would look like that. You should absolutely get some boot cut jeans on. I tried to freak shit up the other day and throw on a little jean shirt. I put it back and it was one of them, one of them what the fuck brand was it? Givenchy is something that don't make it big. Nope.

I tried on a little satin varsity jacket in theory. She be tight on me. Like I be uncomfortable with some of that shit off. Yeah.

Was it a hundred million listeners in a month? He did a whole bunch of he broke a lot of shit that record

He also you know you talked about first living male recording artists to have three albums in the top Billboard 10 top 20 Top 10 number one number nine and number 10. Mmm G next went back up to number one Damn made it to number nine and good kid. Max City is number 10 Goddamn, that's clearly he was right about his setlist for the fans out there that would like to hear me say it again, I was wrong about the setlist. Oh yeah, it worked. It worked. He had his own plan and as you can see it's working.

Yo, and for y'all fans that needed to hear that, I'm wrong every day about something. It's not a day that passes where I don't get something wrong? I wish you guys could see all of them, all of them. Y'all seem to get a real thrill out of that one. Tight, go in there and go in about. Y'all didn't go in there and kill Joe that he was wrong about the setlist.

What did he say? Nigga was wrong. I was wrong. That's it. Oops. Got one bad Fuck darn it Congratulations to Kendrick. Yeah, the entire TDE

Our PG lane the entire yeah the entire PG lane. Oh, yeah, whole West Coast Yeah, whole West Coast. I do feel the rest of the country's West Coast resentment kicking in I know the West has been saying that for a while. I'm starting to feel it. Yeah. I'm starting to feel it. I see it. But I mean, the West was ready for it.

I don't know if Memphis is feeling like that. I'm just talking about New York and Atlanta. No, no, no, I don't think so. Memphis artists still cooking and- That's what I said. I don't think Memphis. Memphis artists still cooking. And as I said, I don't think Memphis. But I do. I do see everybody else just getting tired of it. It's like, all right, I got a moment. Act like you've been here before type of shit.

And the West Coast not doing it. What do you think about act like you've been here before? It's their moment. Yeah, we learned in the middle of a moment like this. Yeah, it's their moment. Shit is not dying down. Yeah, I get that. when they're in the middle of a moment like this. Yeah, it's their moment, man. Shit is not dying down yet.

Yeah, I get that, but the sentiment is, dog, y'all acting like y'all have never been here before. No, people like to be extroverted. I don't have to keep reminding everybody, yo, we up right now. But I don't know if they've ever been here before. 92? Yes, they were.

Yeah, they were. Yeah they were. They were. That chronic, doggy style run. That early 90s. That early 90s. It was massive, but this is, I mean, it's just a different era, I guess. It's like comparing the fucking basketball players

from a different point. This has been so long. Like a lot of the... Hip hop didn't have the platforms that it has now. There was no hip hop at the Super Bowl. It's a different shit. It's a different level. It's the same, yeah, it's big in terms of hip hop, but it's bigger, like being that hip hop is bigger, it's different shit. It's a different level. It's the same, yeah, it's big in terms of hip hop,

but it's bigger, like being that hip hop is bigger, it's bigger worldwide. Even though when they say act like you've been here before, I don't think that necessarily means that you had to have been there before. Right. No, you don't. That's not what the, I don't think that's what the phrase is about.

Right. It's like have some class, have some. Yeah. It just means you ain't gotta be on a- Act like shit ain't, shit is not new to you and that you just fuckin', yeah. But how they supposed to act? I mean, what would that look like if you the West Coast right now?

Like how do you celebrate in a classy manner? Like I don't see what they've done that has been unclassy. And I'm like, talk this shit. I don't get it. That's what I'm saying, run the score up, fuck it, cause your moment gonna leave. The record is still hot.

And the shit that's going on is still going on. It's being promoted on big platforms and bigger platforms. So it's not going anywhere. And they have a right to celebrate that. For a long time it's like the East Coast, we are hip hop and all that shit. And we lend you guys the, or pass you guys the torch. So let them celebrate and have fun.

They did not let us at the SNL shoot. Exactly. With the old skit with Will Ferrell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They did not stop it. That's really what the problem is though. It's just New York.

I don't even think it's Atlanta that much. It's just New York. I didn't want to see Will Ferrell do that. That shit was funny. I mean, I got it. I had a chuckle. I had a chuckle. I just didn't want to see him do that.

It's at that level now. Are we gatekeepers, Ice? Yes. We are gatekeepers. Yes. New York feels like because we started here though. It's the, we now. Where we're from all over the world. Are we gatekeepers, Ice? Yes. We are gatekeepers. Yes, New York feels like because we started here. Started here though. It's the we the end all be all. I've said this a million times.

New York thinks that New York is the end all be all when it comes to hip hop and that it hasn't grown past New York. I mean, at one point all the labels and stuff. That's dated thinking. I think so. They're still here, right? I mean, you had to- The labels are not all still here. The labels are not still here.

At one point they were here. They were. Right. You had to come to New York to- Yeah. How to get signed. There's a lot of things that were happening. Even for your records to get that national point.

Yes. Now you would be regional, but if you didn't make it in New York, it was almost like you didn't really count. Exactly. Yeah. Didn't that all change? That happened.

So we had all that cash. We have that cash, eh? But it's not that anymore. And a lot of New Yorkers still hang they hat on that Hmm and a lot of people like a dog. We don't care about that old shit That ain't this ain't 10 15 20 years ago now. We don't have to make it in New York. We don't need New York We don't give a fuck about New York. It's only New York that keep yelling New York. That's young money's doing Young money did that y'all have any thoughts on the Wayne performance from the SNL

shit? Anybody see it? I saw it. It was it was the stream that I watched his mic was like not on but they fixed it and the shit that's going around the internet. People said it was amazing. You sounded good. I want to watch the whole thing. I didn't see it. I like any time a live band is behind a rapper with hits. Yeah. Because a live band they made it sound like Blue Note. They killed it. They made it sound just like a contemporary version. Like that unplugged. But was he on point? Because I heard he was fire. He was good. He was the sharpest I ever heard. He was good. It's going to make some people who had him Super Bowl. They're wrong but I get why people would feel like that. I did have a chance to listen to the party album over the weekend. Me too.

I did, because Friday it didn't really, you know, it hadn't really sat with me. But I heard the album again. I found some cuts on there. I found some cuts on there that didn't hit me the first time. Uh... I found some cuts on the head that didn't hit me the first time. Uh, girl just lied. She makes me cry. I can't be blamed for anything. I'm fine. I guess it's the first time to ruin my life, but you can't though.

By the way, the beef ain't done. Fuck a Grammy. Don't even call that bowl super while you round me. I thought it was good. Core document, but I'm a la'm relaxing and I know I told party i'ma give him a verse but then I heard what he sent and said fuck features Hey switch the beat on them Don't you think that's a bit weird considering the album name man fuck that imma rap out how my exes still hate on me no way that's an eternal issue it's something imma keep blaming on fate i had about 20 teams in the club and by the way they appropriate it that's a weird thing to have to clarify well the peeps ain't going my way so i'm breaking those opinions up and give you something that you can sing

you can sing with me now we sing together i do like singing everybody like singing that's mad funny, though. You don't gotta do that. Why? Well, none of that was necessary. Yo, what in the fuck?

That was not my version, man. I need that version. I hate on a girl. Well, none of that was necessary. What in the fuck? That was not my version, man. I need that version. You need a deluxe. What the fuck, man? Yo, that is hilarious. That shit is hilarious. Hey, y'all didn't need the internet, yo.

You internet people did not need the internet. The world was fine when I didn't know how creative some of y'all were out there. Holy shit. Mark, you weren't here when we did the review. What did you think? It was just what I didn't know how creative some of y'all were out there. Yeah. Holy shit. Mark, you weren't here when we did the review. What did you think? It was just what I thought it would be.

Couple songs that I liked. A lot of stuff didn't feel like well-developed concepts. Musically, I got bored early. I like when he raps. So, you know, give me a hug. I thought it was, you know, it had some classic bars in it. Interesting. The rest of it.

Classic bars, huh? Legendary bars. Look. The rest of it. Classic bars huh? Legendary bars. Look, I just say it. No, but in general, if I were giving them mics, I'd give it three. I'd give it three. T-Pain said it sounded like just old records that they had. That's exactly what it sounds like. That's exactly what it sounds like.

Pro ways and demo. Half done shit. Yeah. Finished. Yeah. And it's like that's sad. I'm also tired of Drake sounding like that. I'm tired of that sound from him. And I don't love Drake as a singer anyway.

I like him when he raps. I love him when he raps. I don't like when he sings. But that sound of his, I don't like it. We were actually listening to it driving to Edgewater. So it was a 45 minute drive. We heard a lot of the album for the first time. And my wife was like, yo, I can't take any more of this.

It sounds like one long ass, like painful emo song. And that's what it felt like to me. And I'm not going to hold you. I'm glad you said that. Like I saw a party made a post about, Hey, this album wasn't for the deep dives. It's for niggas to fuck to. I want to let him know. I don't want to fuck that.

It ain't much on there that I'm fucking to. Yeah. It ain't a whole lot on there that that's the bag. Yeah. For me. I think you got senteled there that that's the bag. Yeah for me Think you got sent held with that too that post. Yeah, okay, maybe it was a centel maybe but but the principal She had to send tell to That's my man. I'm cool. We're getting sent. I like them. I like it when it's funny. Yeah, but but yeah

I'm just sentiment is still the same though. A lot of people were saying that yeah, and it's not Who are y'all fucking with? That's, yeah, forget it. Forget it. What is all the hoopla with the fucking, what is it, bots and suppressing and, oh, he lowered the price of the album. That's what did it. Really?

Yeah. Well, streams are dropping every day. The streams are dropping, and they drop some hard day? The streams are dropping and they dress a hardcover the streams are dropping and they lowered the price of the album They're like 499 shit. I'm not putting that on Drake even though it does look away for Drake to be attached to something where you lower the price on the album It is a technically a party out. Yeah, it's 799 on iTunes right now. Yeah, but the numbers dropped every day. I heard y'all talking about how many numbers he was gonna sell.

Some people were saying $150, $250, $350, $450. It's looking like if he hits $150, he'll be very lucky. I was predicting like $110, and I'm not even sure he hits that now. My number was $120, and now I'm just looking. We get $100, maybe. Damn. But my number's 120.

I don't see it going nowhere near, nowhere higher than that. If you're just, I'm doubling down with that one. If you're Drake and you sell a hundred thousand records of this, how do you explain that? Do you just say this is a party album? You see my album? Yeah, 1000% you say this is a party album. You don't explain shit, it's a party album.

There's nothing to explain. It has nothing to do with me. Wow. Right. On purpose. It's a party out. It's a party out. There's nothing to explain. It has nothing to do with me. Wow. Right. One purpose, so much of a butt. I wanna play this clip of LA Reid talking about the mythical button that you hear talked about

so much in the music industry. The red button? Yeah. Well that's some Drake shit. And I'm playing, I'm playing. But long before that, I know. There is the belief amongst industry people

that there is a button that you press to get an artist popping, like to get an artist lit. So LA Reid was on, shout out to LA Reid legend. He was on Tank's podcast, shout out to Tank as well, was on Tank's podcast and Jay Valentine. And this is what he had to say about that mythical button. Oh, got it. Singles, we put out a single.

Arista, our joint venture partners, put out a single. It was doing okay. So I went to Clive Davis and I said, Clive, like I need you to push the button on this thing, man, you know? He said, what's the button? I said, you know, like you did for Whitney Houston, like I need you to push the button.

And we were at a conference when I said this to him. He said, the button, huh? He said, sit right here. I sat down beside him, right? We had a conference. And I forgot where we were. I thought we were in Florida. I can't remember.

Maybe Miami or something. Anyway, Whitney Houston comes on stage. And Whitney Houston sings. stage and Whitney Houston sings and he looks at me he said, that's the button. He said, do they sound like that? I was like, oh so what you telling me? My shit is not hot, oh! I really did think, like, you know, record labels, they take talent, good, bad, or indifferent, and they push the button, and shit goes, right? That's what I thought, so, Clyde, push the button.

This button that we've all heard about. This button. It's a button, right? Sit down right here, young man, let me teach you something. And then I saw it, I was like, oh. I completely disagree with that. How about I say, I don't know if I, it's a great story, but there's a button.

It's LA Reid's line. It's too much. Well, I'm glad that y'all all picked up on the fact that LA Reid is lying, but on the playback, I heard it differently. I heard him say, we think there's a button that can be pressed good, bad, or indifferent. Yeah, that's the key part of that. And that was the important part there.

So when he sits him down and says, hey, look at Whitney Houston sing this song. It's like, yeah, anybody with ears can say, you would press a button for that level of talent. Yes. Everybody thinks they're at that level, talent-wise. And we all go up there saying, hey, press the button, press the button, press the button for this shit

I just made in the basement last night. It doesn't work like that. I just thought this was a really nice way of getting out of that button conversation. But there is a button, though. Yeah, because there's a lot of bullshit that get a button pushed. A prime example of the button is Milly Vanilli

before all that. How is- You know what, people say that Milly Vanilli sold records before that button was pressed. And they made good music. And it was a great ass album. It just wasn't them singing. That was a-

No, but that's what I'm talking about. The button is putting two people who were frauds to create a whole- That's a different button we're talking about. No, that's not the button. Okay, all right, okay. That's not the button we're talking about. That's not the button. Okay, alright, okay. That's because the music still was good. The button is putting the power behind it.

Yes. Yes. Tommy Richmond. Marketing dollars behind it. Marketing dollars behind it. That's the button. And after watching the Milli Vanilli Doc, I don't think it's fair to call them frauds. Yeah, nothing.

Because they were talented. It just wasn't the talent that they were showing us in America. It wasn't them singing. But that's what I mean. They were dancers, they were choreographers. No, they were. They were duped like everybody else. Yeah, that they were showing us in America. But that's what I mean. They were dancers, they were choreographers, they were duped like everybody else. And they sung on their first album where they sold records over there somewhere.

And they had a look. They had all of those things that went into the little Terrence Trent Darby was popping back then. They had a look. But the singing that was. We always have. We always have.

You know about all that shit. It's just. Ba Some Terrence Trent? You guys know Terrence Trent Darby doesn't go by that name anymore. He's... Well, he's Terrence Trent Darby. He's Terrence Trent Darby to us. My name on clay. I'm going to call it.

His name might be Joseph Swazay now. What's his new name? What's his new name? Sonanda... All right, we're done. You're done. Okay. You're done.

Shout out Sonanda. Shout out Sonanda Matria. That's exactly why I didn't watch your we're done. You're done. You're done. Now you're done. New name. Sinanda Matria. That's exactly why I didn't watch your movie this week. It goes back. That's right. That's why I didn't watch your movie this week. Oh, the movie's out?

No, it's out. Yes. Came out Saturday. Yes, I had their little game. Make some noise for Big Man! Let's go, man! Hey! Oh!

I didn't watch it, so I don't have a review yet. I know it's out. God. I got a DVR. I will have a review for it. I'm watching it with my lady tonight. I'm watching it with my lady tonight. I'm watching it with my lady tonight. Oh, you gotta do that.

Oh, you gotta do that. That's the only way this thing gonna happen, champ. She's dressed in the movie. Alright, so everything's changed now. A lot of changes. I didn't hear what you said though. I didn't say anything. But seriously, I'm going to watch it. I DVR'd it. I was traveling and didn't have access to cable.

I want to watch it. I DVR'd, I was traveling, didn't have access to cable. I wanna watch it. I appreciate you DVRing it. Yeah, DVR'd it. I'm looking forward to watching it tonight. Okay. Did you watch it? Yes. No, I mean watch it.

I know you were there for it. No, I watched it. I watched it with my girlfriend, Nicole. Okay, what'd you think? I really liked it, actually. I was kinda surprised. I was terrified what the editing was gonna look like, but I was very happy with it but I was very happy with it.

I was very happy with it. That's all that matters. Yeah. All right, do you want us to come back with our review? Like you did last time? I don't think I have a fucking choice. No, you have a choice. Review away.

You have a choice. We'll respect you. No, no, no, no. Review away. Come on, Legend. If you say don't, I'll watch it, but I just won't say nothing. I'm gonna still say something.

Like you did the last time. Yeah. I'm gonna still say something. Try like you did the last time yeah I'm still so sorry it's fine okay no please go ahead the floor is the floor will be yours when you guys see it and review it for me okay Terrence Trent Darby changed his name of what shouldn't it's a whole woman Sonanda Matria show him. A shout out to Tarrant, String Darby and Sinanda. Everybody. And Millie Vanilli. And Millie Vanilli. And watch that Millie Vanilli doc.

It's one of the better music docs. It's wonderful, it's great. And sad. It's super sad when you realize how they got exploited and you hear the real story. Like that dude in the south that was doing the background vocals for one of them. Cause I was a big Millie Vanilli.

I love that album. I actually love that album. And when I found out the, all like- Their first American album, Blame It On The Rain. Yeah, yeah, I loved every, and everybody actually, they didn't like that album. They sold a lot of records for a reason. There was slaps.

There were slaps. When we was kids, that's why I said, like, I wouldn't say the button got pushed for them because the music was dope. Right. But there was, it is interesting to think about what it means for the industry to put so much energy behind making this a thing.

I don't think the button works. The button works, but it may not work these days. Meaning, it does work. Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, content creation has taken over. Soulja Boy in the beginning of the ringtone days when he cranked that, a button was a push behind that. Yes, it was.

You don't think these content creators... No, not initially, not initially. Contact creators are under the button. Bobby Smyrda's song, a button wasn't initially pushed behind that. It happened after that when he recorded it. I just wanna inform you, cause you my man, you're conflating things. Please explain.

Soulja Boy popping off organically, Bobby Smyrda popping off organically, That'smurda popping off organically. That's what I'm talking about. Is what incentivized them to push the button. I'm talking about the initial push, yo. You can tell the difference when it's organic. Got it. And it's just bubbling out there.

Got it. You and your friends is playing it in the car in a couple clubs. Got it? We can look at it right today with Jello. Bingo. It's right there. Bingo. It's right there.

The song came out, it got legs. He gets the deal. Now he's lost. He had two weeks of organicness. Yo, Adam Silver. Jello is why the Detroit Lions lost. I don't want to see him perform no more. He's terribly performing.

He don't know how to perform. He barely know how to rap. He barely know how to breathe while he rap. I'm no longer talking about what you think of the song. The song could be something. They not either. Him, he don't know a lick about shit when it come to performance.

Don't book him no more. Yeah, his hands look crazy. They not looking at that either. They looking at the numbers. Yeah. That's it. They got somebody that just sitting in track analytics and say,

oh shit, everybody's talking about this. Go get him. We don't care how good he is. And we're going to give him a bet. Oh, actually now that, that, that, now that is a great segue to that other LA read clip that I had. Anytime a musical genius is talking, if you're into music, you should probably check it out. For sure. This is LA read on why the music industry may be lacking currently.

Right, and I think you and I talked about it. How many important boutique labels do we have that are black? Because that's where the community is built from, right? You started at Blackground, right? Yep. A boutique. A boutique, right? And an artist I had started at La Faze, and was uptown artists and there was death row artists. There was Motown artists. There was Staxx artists. And they were like and and and that was where that's where black music was nurtured, curated and developed.

And it wasn't no disrespect to anybody, but it wasn't so much us asking for permission because people that looked like us were making those decisions. And look how different the industry looked then. So the moment we just talked about, when we said, Guy and I B. Shore and Keith Sweatt and Babyface and Heavy D and the Boys and I could keep going on and on and Boyz II Men.

Guys, those are black people making decisions about the music we heard on a national, international level. That is all but dead. So if you look at the Grammy stage, what you see missing is people that look like us. Making decisions, deciding.

That's what's missing. He smoked it. And it's changed music. He smoked it. Because all the music decisions are now being made by mostly white men. So look at the stage. The artists are great, by the way. I love Chaperone. I fucking thought Benson Bloom was incredible. I really did. I love the artists, I love chaperone. I fucking thought Vincent Bloom was incredible I love the artists right? It was great. I really love Dolce by the way

But even that That's black it's also boutique from a boutique. Thank you. That's top dog right? Yep. Thank you. Thank you Shout out to LA.A. Reid. I think he's L.A. I think he's not a thousand percent, because he said the decision to be made by white men. I think the decisions are being made by green. They looking at no, it's all just numbers now.

That's all they care about. And now let's put these people here because they tracking. It's not true. OK, because I'm telling you what I think about what he's saying. The green is still being only looked at by white men. As opposed to the artistry or as opposed to the actual quality of the music that's being judged by TDE. They are a prime example of the point that he's making.

So yeah, the numbers are behind it, but the niggas that are able to put out the product is TDE. We see it all the time where SZA is arguing and all of the artists are behind it, but the niggas that are able to put out the product is TDE. We see it all the time where SZA is arguing and all of the artists are arguing because they not dropping frequently enough. If the white man was controlling that, they'll be pushing them niggas out the door because it makes more revenue.

Sometimes they make it obvious when a black person is involved in it. The pop-out show, Kendrickrick's pop out show being on Amazon. I came in here and shouted out Tim, Tim of Amazon, salute, salute, salute, friend of the show. But Tim is a black man from Compton, going in Amazon and saying, hey y'all, look at this. This is buzzing.

Look at this, it may only be buzzing here. He also has a situation where, like I said, the show we talk about, the Kendrick show, the amazing show, is Amazon. Which show is that that you're talking about? It's the Parrish show that he wanted. Got it, got it, got it. Kendrick already has a relationship

where I'm doing my shows with Amazon. So now if I'm doing a pop-out show, yeah, I'm gonna do it through Amazon. That don't necessarily mean that this person, Tim, says, yo, this is the right thing to do to stream it here. It says we got to stream, I'm not streaming rights, but we got the situation over here, let's work together and talk this through.

It could go like that. It don't go like that. And that's what L.A. Reader's saying. It could go like that. But that's not what ends up happening. Even at Kanye, whatever that shit was that, what was that Kanye shit? The free library whoopin' shit? Is that what that was?

Yeah, who was that? Conni Andri? I ain't talking about that, that's that J-Print shit. I'm not talking about that. Cause that was Amazon as well. Damn, I'm getting old. But even to Joe's point, we guessing and we are speculating, but the relationship

with the dude Tim at Amazon might be the bridge. It's Tim at Amazon, it's Larry at Apple, and unfortunately a lot of these music labels have gotten rid of, we had this talk here, we're universal consolidated, and now you got rid of all the boutiques, all the black people that curate and develop and pick a song and dress the artists,

and you just got rid of it now. So that's why shit looked the way it looked. And if you don't see it like that, I'm not trying to change your mind, but it is what it is. Yeah, cause I wanna say, even to the Dochi point, Dochi's been everywhere this year. So if you're the Grammys, again, you looking at numbers,

you looking at analytics, we need to get her. No. No. Why? That's wrong. I disagree. This broadcast is too big, I can't let you say that. I disagree. Please let me hear you. Nobody nowhere looked at Dochi numbers and said,

let's give her this long of a set at the Grammy. She needs to be on the Grammy stage. That didn't happen. That didn't happen. Dog. That did not. First off, they had all the first, all the nominees for best new artist did a show, did a set.

Yeah. She was one of them. So it ain't like we didn't pick people, we just picked Dochi. She's one of the Best New Artist nominees because she's been everywhere. They put her in front of everything she needed to be in front of.

So she's gonna get the nomination. You get the nomination, all the other Best New Artist nominees perform. Yes, she's gonna perform. I'm not talking about her. You think it's tight, you think it's tight, but wait, hold up, hold up, hold up. Let me get this one to be one with. This year think I'm talking about her? Hold up, let me just be one with you.

This year. I'm talking about this year. As am I, because we all came in here and said, hey, they got some things right this year. Yes. Right? Like they came and they gave their speech, Homeboy gave his speech to the Grandmas and said,

we changed some things around. And while Jesse Collins normally puts the awards together, I'm positive that a black person somewhere had a hand and do she who don't who didn't have a top 100 record Who do who's never had a top 100 record to say hey? We need eyes on this a black person did that if you don't see that I'm not trying to make you see that But that happened. That was going to be my question. So do you think that her feature would have been a lot smaller

if somebody black didn't have? If she got a feature. No, I mean, because Ice is right. Every single artist who was nominated for new artist had... This year when it was corrective. And I don't know the numbers. There was a lot of corrective shit this year. There was.

There was. We don't know what the numbers were for a lot of corrective shit this year. Yeah, there was a lot of corrective shit. We don't know what the numbers were for those artists. Even in it being corrective shit, it's them listening to black people saying, hey, you getting this wrong. It wasn't white people at the Grammys protesting saying, hey, this ain't going the way it's supposed to go. What I'm saying is, I'm solely speaking on the Dochi point.

Her being able to perform at the Grammys, I don't put that on a black person saying she needs to be able to perform at the Grammys. Because they opened up and said, all of the best new artists are performing. And all of them wasn't black. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question.

To do that, though. Is that true? To do that, to do that. I'm asking you. To do that, you would be shortchanging her team. Yeah. You would be shortchanging the people that fought every day for years

before that Grammy appearance for that to happen. It did not go the way you say it, but go ahead, have your shit. I was just about to ask you, do we know where her numbers were? No, I don't know her numbers. Not astronomical. Especially, that's what I was about to say.

I don't know if her numbers were through the roof to the point where numbers dictated her being up there getting highlighted to that magnitude. When I said numbers, I wasn't talking sales. I'm talking about analytics. Everything that's been going on, Dolce's name has been up there. All the publications are mentioning her.

She had, they look at this shit, but that's half the time they don't know. But that's her booty label working. That's the world, that's the team. That's the team. I guess the team did that. I'm agreeing with that. Yeah, I thought Toppin' did that.

I'm agreeing with that part. Because her numbers. I'm agreeing they did the work to get her where she needed to be seen. I was just saying that the Grammys. I'm saying last year, the Grammys, the year before last year, would have never allowed that. They would have had that very small stage

before the commercial break where they give the new artist 15 seconds going into the commercial. That's what I'm saying. That changed this year and I'm positive, actually I know for a fact, a black person had a hand in that. Okay. I agree.

He said it. And congratulations to Dochi. To Dochi. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well deserved. I thought my team had more to do. Like talent gotta meet,

your talent and your hard work gotta meet your team's hard work for sure. That gotta meet timing and some white person understanding this. Say that again. Say that louder. No that's the argument me and Ice had the other day when I was just like yo and again we ain't gonna beat this horse but yo it has to be a marriage fam. You can't just go pull Joe Blow off the fucking street and just make him a star. I don't see that, especially over a duration of time.

They might get an album that goes crazy. They might get an album that sells four or five million records, but give him a 15 year career. Give him a 10 year career. I don't think that button is that powerful to make these niggas have longevity of a decade of quality shit. I agree with that. And I don't think today button is that powerful to make these niggas have longevity of a decade of quality shit. I agree with that. And I don't think today the button ain't for longevity.

That's what I'm saying. They don't want longevity no more. LA Reid, I loved your Whitney Houston point. Oh, my bad flip. I loved your Whitney Houston point. There is a button. Absolutely. I begged you to push that button.

I was buttoned. I was buttoned. I went in LA Reid office for 52 weeks in a row with mid. He talking that shit. Scrunched my face up when they played it on the bigs. Damn, I did whatever I could to feel it. Feel this mid. Joe Button, get out.

Go back out to your stoop with your cigarettes. Actually, we're dropping you now. We're dropping you now that I've heard the new slap you're working on. This is why I feel like- Shadid Ogar, I love him. Go ahead, foot. Even though times have changed, this is why I feel like A&R's are important, and they need to come back, even though times have changed. For the artist development. I agree. You know what I mean?

There's no more artist development. They're throwing these characters out there, and they're just saying, sink or swim swim and then when they do press the button It's just for a short term So then now they fall under the line of the one-hit wonders or you couldn't do this and it and it leads to something bigger than bigger Depression and but that's they don't care later on they don't care about that. They just make the money off of you instant gratification. Profitability.

Yeah, profitability. So that's why I think A&R's is important. They want to spend less, make more, and a short amount of time. Exactly. That's the formula now. Just the adjustment, I guess adjusting to the new formula, it's crazy.

I don't agree with it, but I get it. I just loved hearing LA Reid. Like I said, anytime a musical genius is talking somewhere, if you're into music, you should probably check it out. Yeah, he buys it. And Reid is a memoir, by the way. if you're into music, you should probably check it out. Yeah, he buys that shit. And read his memoir, by the way, if y'all didn't get checked. Read, it's amazing.

The music stories, the back scenes, how LaFace was formed, how he got through to the last stage of his career, it's actually an amazing, amazing book if you want to really hear about L.A. Reeves' life. It's dope, it's dope as hell. Nigga Mark. I think that's the first book recommendation on the Joe Man podcast in 10 years.

I'm joking. No, I'm about to say, it's told niggas to read some Malcolm Gladwell shit. What's my name, what's my man name? Malcolm Gladwell, yeah. Check it out. I've recommended 77 books up here. Knock your shit off, bro.

This with the books is the same as LeBron. The same as LeBron. Age one. Yeah, he coming here with a books, it's the same as LeBron. The same as LeBron. He coming here with a book carrying it, trying to be all educational. The hate just be oozing out the lover. But it comes with love. This shit just oozing out the lover. It's cool.

But it comes with love. It's cool. I've been wanting to read books, man, but there's so many words. Get an audio book done. The word and sentences get blurred, then I gotta start using my finger and shit. You can listen do any words. Get an audio book done. The word and sentences get blurred and I gotta start using my finger and shit. You could listen to Audible.

Huh? Audible. Never. While you're in the car. It depends on the voice and the audio book. Sometimes it's fire, sometimes it's not fire. If I'm listening to that, I'm mad. I'm gonna crash.

Super mad. In the car. It matters. I'll listen if you book me to be the voice for your book. Oh, okay. Look into it. That's some cars. No, but you could look at,

you would do great with voiceovers. I'm shocked you don't already do that shit. They don't pay no money. Voice work? No, book voice work. Oh, okay, all right. Book voice work is bad. I'm gonna say voice work is bad.

Voice work is great. Book voice work is good. I don't do my own books. They pay so little. It's not, it's very rarely worth it. You only do it for the reader. But yo, but don't do that, yo. I only do bookstores.

Man, at one point Ian was souping me up. He told me that he was going to try to pitch my voice for Waze, and we lost. Must be the Morgan Freeman and them niggas. Is James Earl Jones alive? No. No, he passed away. He passed away.

Rest in peace, James Earl Jones. He was another thorn in my voice over side. They had him. Waze had him. I don't know if I want to hear you saying cops up there. And now what's my man name? The black president from 24. What's my man name?

No, you gonna be the old nigga like them? No, I would be the young nigga in voiceover world. Yeah, I'm saying, but yeah, yeah, yeah.

Some of these dudes gotta let go, the position change, the guard. Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman gotta go, I'm done. Nah, he good, nah. I'm done, I can't wait to be his chef for a day. You could do Lion King for a fool. Hey, let me make Morgan Freeman soup one day.

No, nigga, stop. Can't say that, man. I'll fix this problem. What's wrong with you? The hell no, stop. What Morgan Freeman? What the hell is wrong with you? What the fuck is wrong with you?

They don't think it through. killing people. Yeah they do. No that's not true. Yeah they do. No that's not true. Hold up. That part is a lie.

The dedication is crazy. That's the dedication I have. For the people that could not tell tell I was totally joking about Morgan Freeman Totally joking about Morgan Freeman and I would do it for dinner and Joe says And Joe said that he'll poison me for dinner. Yeah, what a man that is Fucking Morgan they gotta let go of the voiceovers They really try to get you on that Wade shit? No, ain't nobody getting you. I can see you doing movies.

No, Wade's did it. Wade's did it. They had T-Pain do it. They had, I think Snoop did it. I don't want none of y'all. What does T-Pain eat for lunch? Oh, man. I hate to have to do it to my man.

You donate to the niggas on channel 11 at 2 o'clock in the morning with the straight dog. Lisa Evers and them. No! With the straight dog and cat at 2 in the morning?

Donate that shit to Daisy. I've never heard her claim Toronto. Until I eat that dry ass rice. I done hit my man, what? Yes you did, yes you did. Oh All right, moving on. Moving on. Speaking about Toronto, there was a plane crash in Toronto. You know? There was. Oh, yeah, the Delta plane. Yes. That shit looked nuts. And there's footage of it.

What the fuck is going on? Can somebody say? First of all, flights are cheap. Trump is gutted the fucking FAA. That's what's happening. For real? What's the FAA? That's what caused the number?

Federal Aviation Authority. The Florida Association. You think that's what caused it, man? I think that there's a- No, it was the weather. Huh? Look, she just be up here lying about shit. How many plane crashes have we had in the last two to three weeks ever since he started to like- No, I'm disagreeing.

Because you do the same shit- Am I allowed to disagree? Hold up, y'all. Let him disagree. She do the same shit my mother do. Some shit go bad and they want to blame Trump. Sorry, mom. There's a lot to blame Trump.

My fault. She's going to be mad. You're right. Trump isn't even the president. A lot of people blame Trump. I'm not going to blame Trump. I'm not going to blame Trump. I'm not going to blame Trump. I my mother do. Some shit go bad and they want to blame Trump. Nigga, come on. Sorry, mom. It's a lot to blame.

My fault. Oh, she's gonna be mad. You're right, Trump isn't even the president. A lot of people blame him the FAA and saying it's because Trump gutted the agency. But a lot of the pilots are saying, in fact, all the pilots are saying, no, that's not the case.

That is just, like that credit, they said it's bad luck, air conditions, poor piloting, but it's not actually Trump. I get why people think that, but that's not the case. Okay, so what about the DC crash? We're gonna blame Trump for everything in the next four years. What about the DC crash?

The DC crash is actually the one where the pilots, the experts came out and said it's not like, It wasn't about FAA. Yeah, there couldn't have been, there's nothing else they could have done. No, not the plane. The plane was doing the right thing. It was the helicopter.

Right. That has nothing to do with Trump. They're saying even had there been, there's nothing that FAA could have done differently that would have stopped that from happening. The DC crash would have happened. You gotta read, you gotta go do with Trump. They're saying even if there had been, there's nothing the FAA could have done differently that would have stopped that from happening, the DC crash would have happened. You gotta read, you gotta go do your research. So, so, so, they're saying bad training, bad training.

I've heard training, for the big crash, they said it's also just bad, like bad, like a, what do they call it, like a perfect storm. Like a lot of things happened that went wrong, but it wasn't from a lack of infrastructure in the FAA. What the people's thing is, it's been a bunch of perfect storms in the last two months. Well, y'all the ones keep wanting to fly everywhere.

I've sat my ass grounded in the living room. True. They ain't going to perfect storm me out the game. Some people got to fly for work. Yeah, I got paid bills. Some people got to travel to see family. Like, people got to build things. I just make sure my pilot's white and I'm comfortable.

Oh my God. Well, you know what? It's funny that you asked that. There you go. It's funny you asked that. I'm just joking. You a sellout. Hold that. There you go. It's funny you asked that. I'm just joking. A black pilot. You a sellout.

Hold on. That's fine. It was a black pilot recently that when he landed, he took a picture, he had dreads, he had a real. And yeah, and he caught a lot of heat because they were saying, we don't want our pilots to do this and look this way. I don't want my pilot to look like that.

I also don't want my pilot to be a white boy with long hair and like, you know, like tatted knuckles. You know what I mean? It would make me- I was about to say, if the pilot got up there looking like fucking Jelly Roll. Yeah, I'd be uneasy. I'm not saying it's fair,

but it would make me question the flight. I'd stay awake the whole flight. But that's the problem. You want equality for black men and you talk about all the black struggles, and we finally get it and then now is you know we you stay on the other side I don't say that the side. I'm saying I have biases. I gotta work. Don't I said I'm right. I'm Acknowledge the wrong yeah, I don't think wait hold up hold up hold up hold up hold up Oh, Mark is a doctor, so maybe he can't be ignorant when recording on recorded broadcasts

So I'll do it for him. Thank you. Go ahead, let me tell you. I think that there are some gigs where profiling is okay. Captain America. Name me something. We are gonna talk about that. We went to white.

I went to see Black in America. I went to see it. It was good. Did you watch the whole movie? He said Black in America. Black in America. I went to see it. It was good. Did you watch the whole movie? He said Black in America. Black in America. Got it. I went, I saw the whole movie.

On Sunday, some type of Valentine's Day date. My girl paid. Hey. She didn't have to call AMX, she paid. Hey. Nice. So I saw that movie, I will get to my review on the Black Captain America.

But you said name the gigs. A pilot is one. A pilot is one. That's not true. I'm pro, I'm pro, listen, I'm of the belief, I don't want to know what the fucking pilot look like because that little door should be closed when I'm walking in. Well, a lot of times pilots will greet everybody that's coming on.

Or you see them, or you'll see them on the way out. You see them, if you're waiting at the gate, they walk by you with they little fucking stripper bag. Yo, wait a minute, you don't need, you don't need. They walk by you with they little fucking oh, yeah, strip of bag. Yo No, nigga when they come in to get bored the plane Sometimes they walk right by you. That's not true. Hey, hold on real quick. They're gonna be late real quick Did they work? They be late a lot. They be late There was a there was a stewardess standing on the wing of the plane taking pictures flight attendant flight attendant We're the fucking taking pictures while people were waiting the um, but held the plane taking pictures. Flight attendant. Flight attendant with a fucking taking pictures

while people were waiting to, what the hell the plane all right? Cause they were supposed to go. And it was fucking, while it was delayed, stood on a fucking wing and took a picture. It's a lot of bullshit going on. I wonder if she's black. We should be able to profile any job

where it's life or death. Any job where if this goes wrong, we should profile. Now I know that sounds bad. But you don't mean racial profiling. You mean like behavioral profiling. I mean just profile, not really racial, right? Profiling has a negative undertone because that's what white people be doing to us,

but I'm using it the black way. Yo, I came in here years ago and said every year that they do the Meadowlands Fair, I go and profile people. You do? Yeah, you do too. Because those people working the machines and the roller coasters be niggas homeless off route three

that they give a job to for three weeks and now me and my kid are gonna plunge. No, I'm profiling these niggas. I don't want the dude in the dirty overalls to have a say in whether I live or die today. No. It still don't stop you from going by that dirty ass funnel cake.

Exactly. Oh yeah, I'll eat the funnel cake. Funky's another thing. With extra, with extra powder sugar. And if you're asking, funnel cake is not my go-to. I do the Italian sausage. Oh man. Jesus. Mexican street food. Your stomach must hurt all the time. And if you're asking funnel cake is not my go-to I do the Italian sausage Mexican street corn

Doctor or nurse we're profiling them. What do you want them not to look like? I want an Asian doctor. Yo, this is going to be hard. I got a story. Or my man from Pakistan or Dubai. I want one of those niggas. I want a doctor, sorry.

I want him to have a last name that I can't really pronounce. Ramesh Kalashish. It's not funny, son. Wait, is it bad to be saying this? Yes. I can't believe you. Listen, I'm here for the, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I you not want her to be the nurse. Yeah, because you think she's a stripper.

Or her priorities might be kind of fucked up. I know what he's thinking. He thinks she's a stripper. Or she might have got a lot. You know they all say they pay it for school. What school, girl? That's the alarm. Limes in school, so I think she was telling the truth.

Her ass was so fat when they had them scrubs. I was like, y'all. Damn. Let me ask you something. Your children's school, you don't profile the teachers? Yes, absolutely. We do. 1000%. You do.

Yep, it's still bad. It's still bad. Every chance I get. But there's some good black teachers though. Excellent black teachers. Whoa, whoa, whoa. But not racial. Nobody said nothing about, no.

We not talking about black. That was a setup. That was a setup. I'm not talking about racial. Yeah, stand up for blacks, nigga. You said, I can make my, you're the one, you want me to be your doctor. Because I do want to be a doctor, because they take it, Yeah, stand up for blacks nigga. You said Because I do want to be a doctor because they take it

Why not Johnson Johnson I had a good black you take Johnson I'll take pause What I'm saying is that. Stand up for black people. That's a way to raise. It took black teachers. I ain't gonna say that, because y'all make fun of me, but I'm just saying. Shit, rest in peace to homeboy, the young football player that was too big for the roller coaster ride or the free fall drop. And some bleep that word out.

I want that word to come back, by the way. I wish bleep would come back. We need to do something. Like, we need that back. Of course, what's the word? That one we need back. What's that word to come back by the way. I wish we could do something like we need that. That one we need back. What's the word again? I thought that one came back in a 10 year anniversary. I thought he brought paper straws back. I mean, it's gonna be plastic straws back.

We should be able to get that back. But anyway, that young man, the derelict that was working came over and shoved the fucking seatbelt thing closed, had total disregard for the weight requirements on this ride and all types of shit. and shoved the fucking seatbelt thing closed, had total disregard for the weight requirements on this ride and all types of shit. That was horrific. That was horrific.

Bring back profiling, not racial profiling. Just profiling. But if your normal profiling, it fails you and you hit the advanced button, then race can come in. You know what it is? And some of them be like, yo, you in the spot and you see a homeboy walk in. Yo you know where else I profile a lot?

Elevators. Who? Elevators. Well you can't do nothing in that one. That's not true. What'd you say? That little dirt in them corners and them cracks? That shit will have you feeling a little uneasy.

Oh no I thought you meant people on elevators. Yes. You're talking mean people on elevators. Yes people people on We in this closed space with the potential of it getting stuck For and now we just in here for a few I'm profiling everybody gets on the elevator I am sorry like size them to see if you wanna be stuck and I know them. Yeah Like how's this gonna go in the event that my mind is you watch too much murder death kill So you wondering if this nigga turn around with a knife, could you beat his ass?

I mean that's one way to look at it. That's my first thought. That's what you look at. That's one way to look at it. So what you do? Shut the door, hit the little button. My childhood best friend Julian Rest In Peace lost his life. Yo, nobody want to hear that.

Lost his life, play fighting, and an elevator shaft opened and he fell down. When I got on the elevator a few weeks ago and these two white gentlemen got on with me, the door closed halfway and then tried to go up. Like elevators be faulty because buildings, when they wanna skip certain permits and budget cuts and shit, it'd be the elevator be the first thing. Yeah. Okay.

I know my mind is warped and nobody's thinking about it. What you gonna do when it's sketchy and they go in the elevator with you though? Yeah. You getting off? That's all I'm asking. He's clutching his murse closer to him. Oh, got it.

Can I beat him? I don't know. Can you? Is that your assessment? Can I take the weapon from him? Are these the judgments you make? You can do what you do Detroit Durf. If the elevator gets stuck,

is he gonna follow my rules and regulations or will I have to show him? No, he not gonna follow nothing. You gotta show I don't get off who gets stuck on the elevator. So stabbing niggas Like what the fuck? Like why you start cutting the nigga when you stuck in the elevator for 10 minutes? He might have made it. He might have made it. He hit the button. Yo, last time I was in LA or one of the last times I went to LA

when me, Ian, and gang was at Katana enjoying a meal, right? 8, 9 p.m. The elevator across the street in Mondrian got stuck. It was no, it was actually, there was no electricity in the Mondrian. So naturally the elevator is stuck for about four hours. Oh, fuck. That's a little ass elevator too. That's different bro. I'm stuck in the elevator with. That's a little. I don't care if I'm in there with Halle Berry. I'm, nah, that's different. Class to vote me, right?

And what floor, hold up, what floor? Oh, I don't know. Right. Yo, no, no, no, I don't wanna be with Halle on 32, I wanna be with Halle on like two or three, I could survive on two or three. You think you can still bag Halle? Of course.

Okay, that was the end. Why you play with him like that, yo? See, now they making it a thing. Why you do that? Well, you made it a thing by asking the question. He know. No, that's not true. You asked it with incredulity.

I don't think you can still bag. I don't think there's anyone in the world that he think he can't bag. I just want to hear what my man would say. I'm with him. Them baddies be the easiest to bag. He could bag anything, nigga. Then why'd you ask? Yeah.

Why you ask? Because I wanted to hear my man say. He's the human pathmonger. Yes. You setting him up. You setting him up. Is there somebody that you think you can't back is it somebody I didn't know not in that no see another alley you to the

That is true. And if you put the work in, we won't expose you later. Do y'all believe that whatever our tactics are is like riding a bike? Yes. Yes. What do you think you need to freshen up on it, sharpen it some time? No, you gotta sharpen the tools up. But you have to sharpen it if people catch on to your tactics.

Yes. How they gonna catch on? Because if you do it too much, on social media... You ain't doing it to the same motherfuckers all the time. No, no, no, if you post a girl and say, yo, he sent her the same DM 50 times. No, no, no, that's not that. I'm gonna give you an example.

I got mad at my wife telling her, like, yo, listen, put a little more respect in my name. I'm too smooth for that. Nobody paying attention to that. If you was really trying to hire you, you would be doing that. She got offended by that.

I'm too smooth. I'm too player. I almost gave her my phone. And she said, she almost killed me. My ego got in the way. You shouldn't try to prove to your wife I'll play you. No, what I'm saying is that I don't need to. No, listen, that's a joke, Paul. What I'm saying is that I wouldn't go outside

I'm just lying to make it sound compelling. But my point to her was, and she was offended, but my point to her was like, have a little more respect for me than that. I respect you enough not to even play like that. Who the fuck is that? Somebody that work at Target. Yes, I looked initially, yeah, I cracked the joke,

And I guess my question, and I get, he don't fuck with DeRozan, I actually don't think he's wrong about his issue with DeRozan, but at some point, the shit just gets corny to me like it's a question childhood shit yeah and you play yourself I think he thinks it's working because it's playing to these Australian crowds these

white crowds but I feel like at home is looking crazy you can't ahoy matey your way out of this one buddy that's what I'm saying looks crazy but I feel like it is detrimental that you're just dragging the shit out. That's the part I agree. You remind people Now, huh, he's on the song. What's all not like us? What are you talking Drake sung the song my nigga When we didn't hear this, where did you see this?

You got a black barber? But he got a new blade. He's got a black, he went to Bliss.com, got some new shit. He got the new Bliss.

Wait, wait, hold on, wait, wait, your barber's not black? He got the new Andes? I don't know what he got, nigga, I go to sleep. Well, your barber's not black, he don't do none of that shit. You got a white barber? Nah, he Asian.

Okay. Oh shit, no. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. No. Oh shit. You don't want an Asian doctor, but you want an Asian barber nigga?

Everybody just stop right now. He got the spectacle. We gotta mute up. We gotta mute up. Yo, for the 10th anniversary, I ain't gonna lie to you. This is my honest opinion. I really feel like you hold the keys

to taking us really where we need to go I'm just gonna give you my honest opinion. I really feel like you hold the keys to taking us really where we need to go, and we just kind of find an unearth it. Antoine, you've been working here long enough to know you having an Asian barber is like a drink drop. I've mentioned this before, man. I have never heard you say your barber is Asian. Is she a girl? He's Filipino, man.

Nice, nice. That's different. This would have a girl barber. That's different. Filipino and Asian? You have a Filipino barber? Yo, what? It's not different, yo.

That's black Asian. That's black Asian. That is a different kind of Asian. It is, it is. That's like Cambodian Asian. When he said Asian, I thought you was- Niggas is so ignorant. Do they work in a black barber shop?

Nah, he Dola. He got- He don't have a shop. He got one of the suites. He used to work right up the street. But now he got one of the suites. Fort Lee? The whole, everybody go to him.

All the crew. Yeah, he black Asian, that's what I'm saying. All of the crew go to him. The whole, everybody go to him. All the crew. He'll put you. Yeah, he Black Asian. That's what I'm saying. All of the crew go to him. He'll push your line back. Who's the crew? I ain't getting into the name game.

Danny? Our crew. Nobody in my crew has a Filipino barber. Nobody in my crew has a Filipino barber, except for you. You and my crew, I count you. I'll tell you. Turn around, let me see what your issue is real quick. Naj is bald, nigga.

Don't nudge me to death. I didn't even say Nodge's name, but the rest. Echo don't go to a Filipino bar. I got the barber from Echo. Echo does not go to a Filipino bar. I got the barber from Echo. I swear to God, I will call Echo. I got the barber from Echo.

But does Echo use that barber? But he don't go there. Yeah. He just said, I know somebody that. No, nigga. I know somebody for you. That's our barber. Why can I not believe this? That Ish has has a Filipino barber even though he's telling me yo

something's wrong with your brain that's why wait till umar find out did you got a philippine ish ish is diverse when. When Umar hit his couch pat on your barber. Yeah, you're a ****, bro. He used a blade and shit? He used a, like... A marlin. Oh. Oh, when you started getting the hoodies made over there.

You can't say that, nigga. I know we're making cheap over there, but you can't say that? This don't get his hoodies from over there? So that's the plug to get it for... Can't say that, nigga. My mom tried hoodies smoke? So that's the plug to get it for... You can't say that, nigga. My mom tried to start some hoodies smoke between me and you.

Stop calling my mom. Shout out to Miss Faced. Don't call my mom no more. Solid. Because I didn't another beef just laying on my plate that I didn't know I had. My mom been asking me for three and four X hoodies for months.

I don't have them. I didn't have them. Stupid as he is. Here she go. Yo, you could just... You know who got three, four, and five X hoodies? I'm like, yo. Moms, yo. Yo, moms.

They say whatever they want. Cool moms. Ish. Thanks. Thanks, mom. Starts with division. It's all right, bro. Give me the hookup to the 5X of these, nigga. I got you.

No, you always got me and never give me. You always got me and never give me. I'm still waiting on the fucking 100 doors. Oh, man. You know what's wrong with you? I got money just sitting in the bank, waiting. You don't call. Oh, you gotta just sit in there.

Oh, you gotta sit in there, huh? No, I moved it to the money market. What percent? I can't say, but you did it. Ain't bad. You did it. Ain't bad. I took your advice.

You ain't never take my advice. No, this time I took your advice. You don't have to take my advice. No, the money market, I took your advice. Remember I was stubborn a few months ago, I was on my black shit, I wanna look at the money. Oh, I remember. Remember?

And he was like, I do that shit. I did that shit. I did it, I moved it. Nice. I don't feel all the did it. I moved it. Nice. I don't feel all the way great about it yet. What? I'm still black. I get it.

That's me. I want to see that shit. That's not true. I just don't trust, if the world were to get into some type of apocalyptic, it's the end and you need something fast. You got something fast. Yeah, but the, even when we first had it.

I know it's fully insured, yada yada. And you ain't give them all you got. Right, that was the whole point. They come in every month for you. You doing that shit that you did last part. That I did, bro. It don't come in every month. Huh?

Net 90. Yo, stop doing that. Net 90, because you lying. We're going for one of these pillows. Stop doing that. We couldn't have gotten to 10 years without lies. We couldn't have gotten to 10 years without some lies. This guy's crazy, bro. This nigga was lying on me before I even got up here.

I don't think the money market niggas give you enough for what they ask you to give them. But that's a talk for another day. It is. You just got to be thankful. Market niggas give you enough for what they ask you to give them, but that's a talk for another day. It is. You just got to be thankful. And why don't all banks do that? Why would they do that? Because that's how banks run.

Yeah, but they want to keep the small people small. What are you talking about? I just don't think it's right. It's not right. I just don't think it's right. All banks should operate that way. No, they shouldn't. I feel like they should.

Yeah, because you ain't get enough money yet. Not that I did, I just know some niggas that got it. But they tell me about it. If I got more money, what would my thinking be? Your thinking would understand your position that you play in the world and the people under you and the position that they play in the world. Haves and have nots.

So the powers that be, the powers that be don't want other people to excel. They purposely keep you at a certain level, niggas, so they can eat off of you. No, I got that part, but do you think that- So we're not gonna open up all of the instruments that you have at your level to them? What percentage of people that are at that level, whatever level you're talking about,

do you think adopt that thinking? That's my question to the room. Do y'all think that at a- Damn near all of them. What level we talking about? 30 million a year? 40 million a year? Do y'all think that all of the people that are at 30, 40,

50, 60 million a year have adopted the thinking that Isha's referring to? Or do y'all think that some people keep their soul? I think most do. I shouldn't word it like that, because that's not what I mean. No, don't say keep their soul. I think what happens is,

I think what happens is, know, I shouldn't word it like that, because that's not what I mean. No, don't say keep they soul. I think what happens is, I think what happens is, your day to day living, you forget those people even exist. I'm dead ass. I think they surrounded by everybody that's on your level or higher, you kind of forget that even exists. We see it in politics every fucking day, my nigga.

The people that are making the laws forget that the little people exist. Them niggas is just a cog in the wheel that just keeps moving. I think that them people know that the little people exist. They just don't give a fuck about them people. Same thing. Same thing. And them people know that if the little people down there get smart enough, it threatens

them. 50 million a year, would you all adopt that thinking? Yes. I wouldn't. Because I wouldn't remember where I came from. We got a note from Ish, a no from Mark Parks. No. A no from Parks, Flip.

Everybody say it until they get it. A no from Flip, Mel. No. All right, I hear you. I hear you. What a circumstantial. What you said, Mark. It may change.

Everybody's saying no except for Freaks. I believe Ice. I'm telling the truth. I believe Ice, I believe Parks, and I believe Mark. Oh, you don't believe, oh, you don't Freaks. I believe ice. I'm telling the truth. I believe ice, I believe parts, and I believe Mark. Oh, you don't believe? Oh, you don't believe us? You don't believe us over here. I believe y'all think.

I believe this side of the room. But it may change, depends. I just do, I believe this side of the room. You don't believe your boy? Who? Me. Uh-uh. Real talk, I think a lot of people go in with that mindset,

and then when they get to that level. It may change though. All of that shit changes. Yes, you learn more though. I think it's levels in life and I still, even where I am today, which ain't a high level, I still really, really, really go to the ground and polly with niggas today that are way beneath my level

that I'm on and I still try to pull them up. But you're just a people's person and you have the patience to do so. When you get burned by doing that or going down and speaking to people that don't appreciate those things, it will sort of leave a bad taste in your mouth. If Ish made 30 million a year, I don't think he'd be in America. He wouldn't. I don't think he would live in America.

I think him and his family would move to same bars. I'd be six months on. So what do you say about niggas that's rich, that go back to the hood and poly in the hood, even though they go, you know. What's rich? Rich, like 50 rich. You still go back to the hood and see niggas and check niggas and have conversations with them?

I think 50 is outlier, so that's not fair. I think. I don't think that that's- Name somebody else besides 50. See, I think this is what happens. I think that we looking at the entertainment sphere, and then the entertainment sphere, it may not be that many people

because they can't go back home. But I think there are people that are doing well, significantly well, and they still go back and try to help people bring them up. I think that that happens. It just may not be. You think they have that 50, 60 million dollars a year level doing that?

I think it's sparingly because once you get to that level, your time is limited. And that's what I'm saying. Once you get up there, everything changes for you. You don't even have the resources or time to worry about that anymore. You just so happen to go back to the neighborhood to go check a family member. You see somebody that you made a promise years ago

when you wasn't up. I seen situations happen like that. Oh, break those. Yo, you see. I break those. No, no, you don't break those. I, break those. I break those. No, no, you don't break those. I seen the situation. I break them.

No, you're stopping, Joe. Sorry. You gotta stop acting like you like that for the fucking, you're not, you and 50 are the same type of nigga too. It's just for the camera. You the same type of nigga. You see somebody like, oh yeah, I said that.

I remember that. No, I'm one of the most giving people in the world. Yeah, come on, Joe, stop. Like, I'm frontin', I'm frontin' for the camera. I give and give and give and give and give. You only gave to the Jersey City niggas? No. You think it's gonna be funny, see?

I was just asking. Which one? I ain't gave too many of them. Can I kiss me in them? That Jason. Can I kiss me in them that Jason? Yo. He paid them niggas up.

I'ma buy you a gas station, hey! Yo, holy shit. Flip. Damn. You can't say that. A subway for you? Hey. Don't get down on the street. Hey, hey, hey, don't be money.

The clock is ticking for me. I'm going out with a bang. Yeah, this guy is. I'm going out with a bang. Don't be too much mean. I'm going out with a bang. Going out with a bang. Before what?

Clock is ticking. On your exit? On my exit. The clock is ticking is very soon. There's too many meetings I'm having. No, don't shake your head. You don't know what I've been going through this whole fucking week.

I got to come here and be a fucking professional, because that's what they use against me. Being professional. Nude your buttons. I'm sitting here with a lot of anger, not towards anyone, but I have to put on a face to perform. My time is almost up. The word you're looking for is professionalism.

Work. Work. Yeah, that's what they're masking. That's the word you're looking for. You gotta be a professional. You gotta be a professional. That's what they're masking it. It don't feel good up here when you gotta be professional, right?

I don't like professionalism. I don't, but I think you guys. Let me think. You might be honest. Was this thing built with professionalism? It wasn't. No, but I got rid of the Nick. All right.

Don't do that. I'm not. I'm not. And shout out to them 10 years. I'm shouting out to everybody. Everybody that's contributed, everybody that didn't contribute. They played a significant, very, very, very significant. And then Ice will look at it.

Yes. You got that right. There's no joke for me. No, I'm not even laughing. I'm very serious about it. I'm serious as well. I'm very serious about it. Their fucking sweat equity when shit wasn't

where it needed to be, not only did it get us where we needed to go, but today that very same work ethic, it angers me. Man, these niggas will go, won't it? These niggas will not die. You gotta work, salute to them. That's a joke, that's a joke. Shout out to everybody, Marty the body. No, yes it is, yes it is, yes it is. I don't joke, that's a joke. Shout out to everybody, Marty the body.

No, yes it is, yes it is, yes it is. I don't want, yo, for 10 years, 95% of the shots that I've sent up here have only been for play play. It's just on air, theatrics, is part of what makes me the greatest in the world at this. When I go home, I have real thoughts about some of this shit. You got it, bro.

Just leave me alone. Yeah, what Jay-Z did. Now listen, yeah, no, listen, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, you, I got you, I'm holding you down I was in chaos when this shit fucking dropped Where you was what? I was in chaos when this shit dropped Ah, a legend Nail blown on over that brown groin But still you a nail cut Welcome to hell where you are welcome to sell

But when the shells come you better return them Use your band All cause we learn them like the back of our hands Use your, use your band You watch the cops coming like the back of our hands You watch the cops, I run out the back of my hand Wear a G on my chest, I don't need that for damn That for damn Never never never never never Now listen, listen, the fucking allegations are always loud

And the exoneration is always quiet Oh yeah, the disrespect is always loud No matter the magnitude of the superstar we speak of, in this instance it happens to be Sean Carter, Jay-Z, all of that, whatever was going on with him, I don't even know, because I didn't really read up on it, or take it seriously, it's out the window. It's out the window.

All charges dismissed dropped Countersuit now we are suing you Tony Busby for the stress the duress the heartache the pain That you caused me and my family you have caused me to lose 20 million dollar deals Yeah, I absolutely love this. I hope he's calling them out to the socks. I do not see enough of the media loud. Loud. Y'all are not loud enough for me. I agree. My fucking gird. Y'all are not loud enough for me right now. Thousand percent. Let me get the round of applause real quick. Thousand percent. Congratulations to all. I don't know if it's irony, you have laid the blueprint.

You have laid the blueprint for how black men should handle these things when they are false. That's important to know. When it's a false allegation, too many times for too many years, in recent years, there's just been shakedowns of sorts. too many times for too many years in recent years, there's just been shakedowns of sorts. But he came out with conviction from the gate. That don't mean that you're not about to lose deals, because just the sheer announcement is gonna make you lose deals.

But he came out, said I didn't do it. It was a lot, the internet was loud. Boy, y'all were loud. Almost like y'all was waiting on another black great to fall for shit like this. I think that's nasty of the internet, but I get it. I get it, y'all on some today nasty grimy shit. But I was really excited about this.

I would love for more media outlets to report on this in caps. In caps, write it in big bold font. It's too quiet out there for me. And Hov ain't gonna say nothing because he's Hov. He's just gonna speak through the counter suit and crack crack homeboys muffin. Again, I hope he put me down to his socks. I hope he take everything he got. I promise you I hope he take everything he got.

He fought. Yeah, he filed the lawsuit like a day before Blue Ivy's premiere for Lion King, so he was forced to make a choice to go see his daughter or stay away because of the negative press, which is what he ended up having to do. It's disgusting. What you put in the suit as part of his reason why he was countered?

I hope he strips him down to his socks. I want to take the socks off. Not for nothing, and I ain't even on that. in the suit as part of his reason why he's holding this counter suit. I hope he strips him down to his socks. I want to take the socks off. Not for nothing and I ain't even on that. I want your family to feel what my family potentially felt or what you tried to make my family feel. You get what I'm saying? Like don't think about the losses

that could potentially occur from people being falsely accused of shit. I want you to strip them, dead ass. It's obvious the court, because it was dismissed with prejudice, so they can't refile. That usually happens when a case is so obviously fake, you know, that the court doesn't want to entertain it anymore. I mean, all the evidence that came out, I was like, this person was in another part of the country.

I was here, oh, that person didn't appear. Have you heard this statement? The statement didn't even make sense. Anybody that knows New York City, like at one point the girl was like, yo, I just remember this really big circle driveway that we pulled up to this house. Right.

That's barely exist in the trustee area in January. But none of it made sense. What's interesting is Puff also issued a statement. Puff charges have been dropped too. Because the case was dropped against Puff and against Jay and on this particular case. And Puff is basically like, see, people be lying. This is another example of these cases coming out,

used against me to lie. So while this case is false, it seems Puffy is using it as an excuse to kind of say, look, everybody's after me. This is wrong. I think it's unfair to kind of say look everybody's after me. This is wrong I think it's unfair to even mention puff during the whole segment and but but they were grouped together But I think it's important to note that this is why this is why it's interesting because it jay is innocent of this And I believe puff is innocent of this one But it's interesting to see how that plays into the rest of his cases in terms of the court of public opinion. I

Said that I think some of the ones against Puff, by the way, for going there are gonna come out as false as well. I've been saying for a long time, I think that the people that are coming out against Puff, and I think Puff has lawyers that are great, I don't know his lawyers, but I'm assuming that he has some of the best lawyers money can buy.

I think what's gonna happen is some of these people are gonna start recanting their stories and start getting their ass whooped on the stand, but I'm assuming that he has some of the best lawyers money can buy. I think what's gonna happen is some of these people are gonna start recanting their stories and start getting their ass whooped on the stand and it's gonna fair better for Puff to have more than less. I think the more people that come forward for Puff, I think it's gonna fair better for him to have more people

than less because we're gonna start proving some of these people to be liars and it's gonna play into the reasonable doubt. And also jurors don't trust that. I remember there was a case in Georgia, Dr. York, I don't know if you all remember Dr. York from back in the day. I do. Yeah.

And you know, there were thousands of cases of child molestation. At some point the jury, the prosecution said, we don't want to present thousands because it will seem so unbelievable that the jury may throw it all away because we don't believe this. So to your point, I think a small group of credible cases is better than throwing a bunch of stuff against the wall and making people doubt the whole thing. And because some settlements are going to come, everybody chasing the bat. Like the Busby dude, that was the same attorney that prosecuted Deshaun. I think stuff like that is important to know

because Busby wasn't chump. It wasn't like some, I don't want to say Lisa Bloom, Ambulance Chaser. Like this was somebody who has done this with a resume. But you might have been chump. You might have been taking advantage of these black people that were ignorant to the

law or their rights. And that had a whole bunch of money. And typically when you have a whole bunch, somebody sued you today for a million dollars. You, right? You give it to them. What's the charge? It depends on, it's not worth the headlines.

Well, that's where the shakedown comes from. You get what I'm saying? And so that's the shakedown. That's where the shakedown comes from. You might be Trump and you just made a fortune in doing this type of disgusting shit. Now I get you for two million, I get you for a million, I get this person for a million. Nigga, you talking. As Jane Doe.

Bruh, Jane Doe. As Jane Doe. With no nothing. There's nothing to lose. There's nothing for me to lose in this instance. Bruh. Until you go up against that one that's going to fight you back. Until you go up against the one that got a platform big enough

to be like, suck my dick, and now I'ma sue you. And you can take some heat, because that's why the Puffy thing is important too, because part of the shakedown was, I'm tying your name to this person that everybody hates right now. Because the allegation was they both did it at the same time. They both did it.

They attacked me together. So by saying that, the average celebrity's gonna be like, I don't want nothing to do, I don't wanna be nowhere near him, I don't even want my name on the same sentence as him, here's a million dollars, take it. I don't know Hov well enough to say this. I just don't think that that's the text that's getting him to the threesome.

Hey, me and him. Hey. Yo, I got puffing this girl here. Come through. I just, he's never been that. Like, he didn't move that way. Yeah. Congratulations.

Congratulations. I need a round of applause. Shout. Congratulations. Congratulations. Let's give a round of applause. Let's give a round of applause for Ove, man. Let's give a round of applause. Job well done. Sign the rock nation. Job well done. You have laid the blueprint for how men,

black men especially should handle false allegations. 1000%. From Jane Doe's. Yes. It happened to me again. I'm calling a lawyer. I'm calling him, get his lawyer. Jay-Z lawyer? Yeah, and I started to go for me to pay.

I was about to say, I ain't taking no cuts. Yeah, we not taking no cuts in Russia. Y'all wouldn't take a cut so I could beat my charges? Nah. Not at all, right? We good. Not for a second. What are the charges? Nah. Not at all, right? We good. Not for a second. What are the charges?

Nah, I would. Uh, hoarding. Yeah, I'm not taking any charges. I'm just kidding. Masturbation trafficking. Yes. All right. You moved this girl from state to state.

In your mind. To masturbate. It's crazy. Yo, congratulations to Hov and his entire family. That shit came out around with the Super Bowl now. That shit muddied a lot of waters. Or it was the potential. Was to muddy a lot of waters. So again, just congratulations to Hov.

Job well done. Tony Busby. I don't know what the future looks like, fam. It's gonna be rough. I hope it's bleak. I got him losing that. I got't know what the future looks like, fam. It's gonna be rough. I hope it's bleak. I got him losing that. I got him losing whatever the counter is.

He gonna settle. Hope may not wanna settle. Yeah, I'm gonna ask him. I wanna settle. I hope he don't settle. I don't wanna settle. I hope he don't settle. That admission statement didn't speak like,

nah, I'm gonna accept any type of settlement. He should zoom into submission. I'm gonna show you that I'm different. And then came back and rewrote some shit. I'm from Marcy. We ain't doing that. Yeah, nah, I hope he's opening up the notes. The notes tab in the iPhone.

He went crazy. He went crazy. Damn, man. Damn for something like that. I'm gonna show you. Okay. He did his thing. All the way fire.

All the way fire. Again, congratulations. Can't congratulate him enough. It's an old thing. That nasty ass move. Tony fucking Gussby. Let's see, let's see, let's see. What does that say right there?

Has your girl ever seen your group chat? I'll answer it first because mine's as fast. My girl has seen anything that has to do with my phone. With your phone. Yeah, it's ours. Now, she's seen it all, read it all, sent it all to her best girlfriend, gossiped about it, every last drop.

All of it. Even the bitches that I was texting it, I didn't mean that shit. Like, it don't matter. It's all on the record. This is a weird question because, first of all, yes, she's seen some of my group chats, certainly, but group chats don't really be like shit in there really at least a lot experience

It's usually just talking shit their group chat be like that. Yeah, they got messy group chats. I should That's why That's a projecting talking shit about each other it's like listen to this podcast damn near like ripping on somebody fucking an occasional fat ass. No, am I? Occasionally, I guess. You're right, that's projection, and that's one of the fucking double standards

that exists out there. Cause you know what girls do? Girls be showing dicks and all that. Real niggas ain't sending the girls nudes. Yeah, niggas ain't doing that. Like a real nigga's not sending the nudes to they whole crew. Never.

Like that's not happening. We doing what we do. Girls do that. Niggas not sending the nudes to they whole crew. Like that's not happening. Girls do that. Niggas on my trips and shit. Girls will send a nigga whole monkey to everybody else in the team. That's crazy. Yes. I didn't know.

Look at this guy. Damn. You lie. I don't send my pictures out. So I never thought about it. Yeah, I never did. It's never something I thought about or worried about. Yeah, they do though, doc.

Girls do. That's crazy. On my Instagram algorithm, I bumped into an older... Mel? Yes. Go ahead, I'll clear out. You're a part of the conversation? Well, I think you guys have the assumption that there's all just dicks in our group chat.

That's not what he said. That's not what I said. You have their... Gender wars. That's not that. Gender wars. Gender wars. What made it to two years without gender wars? Let's give it up for gender wars. Yeah, you got to give it up for gender wars. It's not that. Gender wars. Not in, not in. Gender wars.

We wouldn't have made it in two years without gender wars. Wait, let's give it up for gender wars. Yeah, you got to give it up for gender wars. No, come on, come on. What's in your group chat? Oh shit, you see that? Oh my goodness. Furniture.

Sorry to disappoint. It's not a bunch of dicks, I'm sorry. Yeah girl, he laid me down on this Chase lounge and he folded me like this chair right here. He folded me like this. No, no, Wayfair's having a President's Day sale. That is what's happening in my group chat. I know, maybe in my 20s it was different,

but right now it's furniture. I have a wife, she tells me what goes on in girls' groups. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck men are talking about. All that she do up here is lie. All that she does up here is lie. All that she does up here is lie. I will show you my group chat right now. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it.

But so you ain't got no spicy group to do. Do other women you know have spicy group chats? Oh, absolutely. And she done removed some holes in the group chat too now. Green bubbles probably. Green bubbles will definitely get you. Because it gets in the dicks. Yeah.

Sometimes it gets a little, I'm a little vanilla sometimes. You know, when they talk about like, you know, dicks in their ear and shit like that, I'm like, OK, I'm exiting stage left. This is not my. OK, so it's not like there are dicks in the group chat. You're just not a sender of them. Yeah, well, you just said it was all way fair. It can be conversation.

My current group chat right now is like, is furniture and candles and shit like that. Yes. It's not. It's a whole world. I ain't no like. This podcast would have gotten nowhere without lies, Joe. You are right. Give it up for lies. It has been over a year and one.

Fuck. I got some gender wars shit here real quick. Oh. Oh, yeah. Count me out. I was looking at, no, you're going to jump in this one. Yeah, you're never. This one you're jumping.

You're never coming out with gender wars shit. I was looking at a post from're gonna jump in this one. This one you'll jump in. You're never coming out of it. I was looking at a post from a gentleman named Jeff Fargo. It was a black man and a white man on a podcast on Instagram they was talking. And the black man took exception to the term happy wife, happy life. I do too. You follow me, right?

Yeah. Once he spoke about it, I totally agreed with what he was saying. I do too. You follow me right? Yeah. Once he spoke about it I totally agreed with what he was saying. He was saying why does that phrase exist? Actually, I'm just playing. I'm going to play because I'm going to fuck it up. Kids don't respect a man who sacrifices his own purpose. They cooked.

Neither do women. Have you made this mistake where you kind of lost sight of your purpose because you thought that that was the best way to be a father or be a man? Oh yeah. I fell into that trap too where I stopped working as much. I made my priority, my wife and my kid, and I lost sight of the goal. And one day I looked up and their lives were worse because I couldn't provide. They were getting more of my time.

They were getting more of my quote unquote love, but their lives weren't any better. They need to see you hustle. Your wife, your kids need to see you win. Your children don't want a miserable dad. They want to see you crush it in life. That's what they want to see. Have you ever heard the phrase happy wife, happy life?

All the time. Does it piss you off like it pisses me off? Yeah, it's fucking annoying. Because there's no situation with happy wife, happy life? All the time. Does it piss you off like it pisses me off? Yeah, it's fucking annoying. Because there's no situation with happy wife, miserable dad. If dad's miserable, wife miserable, kid's miserable, there's no such thing as happy family, miserable dad. Dad must suffer, but he must enjoy the suffering.

God damn is what I said when I heard that. I never put that in a vacuum that way. Remind me to tell you something off camera. Okay. But why does, why does, why he gotta be miserable if she's happy? That was exactly what I was gonna ask. That's not what he said.

I think the idea is that we- That's the assumption that people would be led to think because me and him just had the same question. You know why? Because when you say happy wife, happy life, it seems as if the only priority is the people outside of you. Exactly. Like if you said, you should be happy spouse, happy house. Right. Like both of us agree.

Both of us agree. But but but men are not that it's not that men are discarded. Men are discarded. It's often like, OK, you got to do whatever you got to do to make sure the house to make sure the kids are fed to make sure everybody's happy. And not for nothing. It's a role that we accept. We accept that we almost say fuck ourselves So hold up this house. Yeah Some people like that part of people are proud of that makes them happy Yeah, but no, I don't know if it necessarily makes them happy. We forego our happiness Yeah, our happiness is an afterthought. Secondary.

Dog, you gotta listen to, cut it out. Yeah. That nigga. He be saying a bunch of fly shit. He a dick sometimes, but I'm telling you, he basically says that yo, as a man, when you start ascending in age, you kinda put your happiness to, it's not, what I'm a bitch for. Ain't nobody coming to save you, ain't nobody gonna listen.

You gotta make it happen regardless. And you kind of live by that. Yo, we gotta do the work. We gotta do the work. We gotta do the work. When we first came, you like, yo, we're gonna put our heads down. We're gonna do the work.

And I think benefits gonna be at the end of it. And that's what happens. And as a man, that's how you kind of carry through life. But your happiness ain't your priority. Society makes that normal. Yes. That's why patriarchy is unhealthy for men too. If your wife is happy and your children is happy,

you know what I mean, that's all the focus should be. You're succeeding as a man no matter if your body is killing you or any of that shit. And you can't even complain about it. A lot of times, because you'll be looked at a certain way, a lot of times you can go through internal turmoil, but you have to put on a happy face when you walk into the house, right?

That applies to men. When they say leave that shit outside, but a lot of times you're bringing it inside, you just have to put a mask on. So it won't affect them. It says something, I'm sorry, I'm gonna interrupt you. Go ahead. No, it's okay.

It says something last episode, I was listening. He said if I only had $20 in my account, I would never, They would never know. My lady would never know. Fast. And I've been there before. Me too. Where I'm sitting here trying to rob Peter to pay Paul,

I'm borrowing money. My wife may have the money. Word. You know what I'm saying? That part. You know what I mean? But I'm going to borrow it to make this thing happen because my idea of manhood is partly about being able

to take care of everybody and to be in control. And everything. Yeah, and I'm like literally not sleeping at night trying to figure out how to put these things together. And. That's a fact. Because I don't. Stress will fuck you up. Exactly.

So you can die from stress. And we do every day. You always spend your last money to make sure your kids have and all that shit. Make sure your wife have and shit is different. And you just gotta eat that. Yeah, a lot of male voices. Let's give male a chance to process

and reply to this or speak to this. It just sounds like from. And we're not gender-worn. No, it just sounds like from what you guys are, you know, saying collectively that you fall victim to, you fall victim to like a kind of, like the idea of what a man is supposed to be.

You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. Like provision and leave your, you know, non-emotional, leave your stuff at the door, like all of that stuff, your humanity is inconsequential. And that doesn't, I don't really, I just don't see it that way. Maybe it's because I'm not married.

Maybe it's because of that. That's what happy wife, happy life is saying. But that's why I think that me and Ice had the same question at the same time, that I don't think that that saying forgoes your happiness. I never took it as that, personally. I never took it as that. And also, and also to Ice's point,

or like a couple of seconds ago, some people actually like that. Sometimes the source of their happiness is to see their wife and their family thriving. And so I don't think that it's a blanket statement that can be applied to all men, you know? It's a bad thing when you think that. And so hold on, the other thing is,

and so hold on, the other thing is, is that this is the first time in history where men and women are basically kind of on equal footing in terms of making the same money and whatever else. So what I hear from a lot of women is it's no longer provision that they're looking for. What they're looking for is partnership. What they're looking for is a little bit more self-development, and that is what they're not finding.

But that's part they're not finding. But that's part of the same problem. Patriarchy. Exactly. Because we're not trained to do that. We're trained to pay these bills and make sure that the lights are on and all that other stuff. And we get judged on that.

No, and so, but wait, hold on one second. To further that point, I think that all the motivational speakers that speak to y'all have done y'all a disservice by saying the only way to develop yourself is get rich, get fit. That's it. What about all the other ways that you can develop yourselves? You guys have been left at, left, there's been a grave disservice done to you

because of that way of thinking. That there's no value in that other level of self-development. That it's just get rich for provision and for yourself and get fit and that's it. What if the people are... I don't disagree with what she said. What if the people that's recie... I think that's true. I think that's true.

What if the people that's receiving it, receiving the perks, don't think about your happiness at all? Oh, well, then that's a fucked up mate. Let me ask you a question. That's just that, that's it. How many years do you think? How many years?

Hold on. My bad, my bad. Because that's not intentional, right? Because everybody has issues, man. But what if they also think that you're the man, suck it up, figure it out, because the role that you... That you not took, I guess, because the role that is, I guess, assigned to you, right? So she's not thinking that...

I'm going to be careful. She's not thinking that, you yo, I wonder if he's, she's gonna check on you, but she's not gonna go out her way. Some people not gonna go out their way to find out what are you going through at work or the finances, because men, we shut down. We shut down when you try to ask certain questions.

We're not communicative a lot of the time. We don't wanna get into that, yo, forget about that. We don't wanna, cause a lot of times, the partner- And we're taught not times. And we're talking not to. And we're talking not to. And that's worse than a complaining man. And that's worse than a crying man. Thank you so much.

I think that get rich, get fit shit is some modern shit. And that's some new age shit. Yeah, that's new. Most of the motivational speakers I follow, they don't live by that motto. Like I think that the motivational speakers I follow, they find it insulting that we only relegate it to protect and provide.

What I'm hearing, and I promise you I'm not trying to beef, like me and Mel had a big argument that went viral where she said, should the CEO of Xerox date the bus driver? You can't have both things. You can't say that I just want you to work on your personal development, but you also gotta make as much money as me, because now the man's gonna bust his ass to any also gotta make as much money as me, because now the man's gonna bust his ass

to any detriment to make as much money as that particular woman. No, that wasn't my argument. I just, the expectation put on her because of your argument is what I was basically saying. I was just like, why should she, if that's not what she wants? If she's going to hold out for somebody,

if she doesn't give a shit, and she will date anybody, bus driver, post office worker, or a CEO of a Fortune 500, that's her choice, but it's based, the whole argument was around there's slim pickings and you should just take what you should get. And if it's a bus driver, then just be happy, no matter what your station is in life. That was what that conversation was about. No, no, no, that wasn't it.

Because the bus driver was basically doing everything that you wanted. Yes. So in that, he would be more than that. It was based on the FDK Williams shit about her saying she shouldn't have to date the bus driver. And I said if the bus driver was checking all of these other boxes outside of the monetary box, and that makes him a great man, and he's still a great cut,

she just don't make no money. But back to what we talking about now, today's society is telling men, and we hear it every day, that provide and protect are your two primary things that you need to do. Get your money up. That's all I'm saying. Provide and protect. Provide and protect, provide and protect.

And that's being beaten to men's head. So in doing that provisional piece and that protection piece, men are forgetting themselves to be able to be providers and protectors. To show up. Yes. Yeah. For the things that we are being taught every fucking day

are our two primary objectives. I feel like that's what A Million Little Things is about, season one. And closing for me, and this is, tell me if I'm wrong, a lot of times when the woman is the provider, the man in the home feels like he's not respected. The man feels like he's not respected,

he's not looked at as a man if the woman is the provider. Now I don't know what that looks like, I don't know if, but that's a big thing as well. I think it's two things. It's a lot with that. I'm just saying, I don't wanna open that gate. My homegirls say that the man feels less there, right? I think it's two things. It's a lot with that. Yeah, I'm just saying, I don't want to open that gate, but. My homegirls say that the man feels less there, right?

And so he has an insecurity because he's not the breadwinner, or I don't want to say breadwinner, he's not the primary financial provider in the home. But then I had a conversation with one of my peoples, and this was a couple months ago, actually she a advocate of the pot. And I was saying like, yo, you make more money than you do. And she got a real high position at her job.

And I said, every single day you go to work and you boss people around, right? And that's your daily life. And I said, yo, a lot of times women can't check that at the door. So when you come home, you know you make more money than your man, and you are basically doing the same shit that you do for eight to 10 hours at work to your man and then when he starts to complain you look at it

as him being jealous that you make more money. Know you talking to me like a subservient and that's where some of the dog I promise you three days later she called me and was like yo I never had that talk with nobody that talk was so insightful I didn't know that I'd be talking to my man like that and he said it and I looked at it the way he said, like, yo, you just jealous of me because I make more money, whatever the case may be. A lot of times, we are allowing society

to make us worship titles and money. Damn, I wish I had this clip to add on to your point, but when, I have a brain freeze right now, I was on Shannon Sharp, the black comedian, the lady, not Cheryl Underwood. Leslie Jones? No. Not Leslie Jones.

One of the sakes, no. No, she was like, yo, I'm not the breadwinner. Just because I make the most money, I'm not the breadwinner. Yeah, and I didn't see that clip go around enough. It wasn't Monique. She said something like that before. I'll find it at some point, but she was like, even though I make more money than my man

I'm not the head of household or breadwinner I know many people that are in that relationship I know plenty of people that are in that relationship where the woman makes more money than the man but the man's still a man that's a hard thing to get to I think I think that's a really hard I think it comes down to finding a good compatible partner I don't want to of you. And figuring out who you want to be. I don't want to be the head of my household. I just want a partner who I'm equal with. And if my wife made 10 times more than me

or 10 times less than me, I still want that relationship. Me too. And I know some people take pride in, like Ice was saying, some people take pride. It was Sharon. It was Sharon. My husband, Sharon. Some people take pride in taking care of the family

and doing all that. That's true. Just like some women take pride in just taking care of the family and doing all that, that's true. Just like some women take pride in just taking care of the kids, right? But I think the issue is how society treats us or makes us think that that's who we're supposed to be and what our role is. And so that's what I'm always trying to work out.

I let it be known in mine. If my depression get to kicking in high gear, this whole shit is kaput. The kids, you, the house, the bills, the mortgage, 401, savings, future plans, all this shit is complete. That's facts. So yeah, happy house, happy spouse, I like that. But you can't, you can't though.

You can't what? Let's just talk. It's not true, what do you mean, let's just talk? Because reality kicks in. So regardless of your depression, your bills still gotta get paid. It don't matter what you going through my nigga wait Lex gotta eat, but this is the part in this part I'm gonna lean into what Mel is talking about right if I have a bad enough argument with my girl

I'm not saying that my work won't get done How I show up in the world is going to look differently. It's possible So yeah, I need to be handled a certain way the same way you need to be handled a certain way. Because I need to go out there and be my best. It's not about the work not getting done. It's about, do you want my... That's unique to this job too.

Okay, well I had no other job. No, I'm just saying, no, it's unique to this job. Because in corporate, you know what I'm saying? It's a little, you sell your personality to make a living. Right. So if you having a fucked up day, we see it. It's going to come across on camera. But if you worked in a corporate office and you was a VP of finance or if you was da da da da da, your shitty would be skimming the books.

And it's still and that still could happen. And if you worked in corporate, it still could happen. Your team got to eat it. You could you could miss some shit that's fucking around and cost you all some money, because you distracted, you're not focused on your job. Off on a tangent, I just thought that that happy wife, happy life, she was the first person I've heard

on the internet really look taken aback by that. Yeah. Me, I've never heard someone be... He looked pissed at that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never heard someone bring that down like that. I see where that coming from. I don't think that that phrase necessarily means that though.

Me neither. Okay. I do have a part of the show. This part of the show is from a name I can't pronounce, but I'm going to go back to school and itch will lose our life competition for good. for good. No. This says, on December 20th, the Discord community lost a beloved member of the J.B.P. community, Jason Blayton-Abru. I'm hoping I'm pronouncing the last name correctly.

Blayton was a talented rapper, Imani's Eskimo brother, allegedly, and a devoted father who spoke often and highly of his children What if you put your dick in your fucking bit? Anyway during our time with blatant? He was critical of the pod following Joe for many years to us blatant was family He logged in daily to update us on his day talk about his love for his ex slash BM and playfully tell us to fuck off He stopped responding one day and several days passed without an update.

We all wondered if Blayton was finally taking a break from writing in his Discord diary. After a little investigating and 15 days later, we found his obituary. God damn. My gosh. The news was shocking to us and we're still trying to process it as a family.

So I ask, have any of you lost an online fan or friend you've never met but built a relationship with? Was it difficult to explain to your real life family slash friends who may not understand online relationships? Rest in peace, Jason Blayton of Brew. Request a break. who may not understand online relationships. Rest in peace, Jason Blayton Abreu. Man, rest in peace. Abreu. Abreu, I'm sorry.

Great question, and rest in peace to Jason Abreu. Yeah, and yes. Distinguished panel. I've had that experience. And it's hard because I know the first time it happened to me was in 2006 when I used to run a blog called The Barbershop Notebooks. It was when blogs were still new in online communities, people didn't really understand it.

But these were people who I engaged every day. Now you people kind of know to be in spaces or on Twitter or whatever. You know that you can be in community with people you never met. But back then it made sense to us intuitively, like we knew that was our people, but I had never met. His name was Omori Nde. Lin writes his real name, and I had never met him before. And he eventually died, two people, he died, he is very openly HIV positive and actually had AIDS. And he was working on his PhD, and he was doing all his cool stuff,

and he was so excited, and he was working, and then suddenly he took a term for the worst, and he just was gone for three weeks, and we were all trying to figure out what happened to him. And I remember we all, many of us went to his funeral and we were like crying and it was the first time we had met and we were trying to figure it all out and we were like, why are we crying

for somebody we never met before? And we couldn't make sense of it. Now I think it's easier to make sense of it. You should feel normal, you should feel okay. Family is what you make of communities, how you build it. It does not have to do with physical walls or material spaces about who is in your world. And so, grieve and experience it.

Very well said. Yeah, that was great. And to answer the question, this has happened to me many times. My lawyer. Over the years. My trademark lawyer. I came in and talked about him. Trademark lawyer, he was 25 years old.

I met him through the pot. He hit me, he was like, yo, da da da da, he was doing all my trademark shit. And you know, it's timed. So when you file for a trademark shit, and the time had lapsed, and I'm like, yo, I'm hitting him, I'm hitting him, and my shit going straight to voicemail.

And his date, the USPTO, the trademark people, they put my name, my email, and his email. So when I Googled him, they found out he had passed away. He was an attorney from Florida. Young, he was 26, I think, 25, 26, Pied Watcher, and he had passed away. And I felt the way, because he used to be calling, yo, I got caught cheating, yo, my girl.

He'd call me and be asking me for advice and all types of shit, and he was like a young up andand-coming kid I think his father is in politics heavy in Florida. I think his father's a congressman I believe and Yeah, he had passed away hmm So there was a fan a few years ago to have made the news for something and then he passed like

In like a year a couple years after that, but he was a huge podcast fan. Like I'm always appreciative to the person that lets me know that the person passed. Like you were aware how this person felt about the show or us and you made it a point to let us know, but it's always that. Yeah, I think the dude that you just mentioned. Sure, the Botham Jean dude, rest in dude that you just mentioned. The Botham Jean dude.

Rest in peace. Was the podcast? Botham Jean. Really? Really? Yes. Wow. Wow.

Rest in peace. Rest in peace to Jason Abreu. For sure. Rest in peace, bro. Prayers for those inside the pod, outside the pod, anybody out there going through a silent battle. Cue it up. Our prayers go out to you.

And shout out to Jason Abreu's family. For sure. Family and friends who may be dealing with the loss. But great question and thank you to whoever sent this in. Yeah. Cue it up. Good idea. Yeah.

And for the 10 year anniversary, I mean it makes sense. We can't have the episode come and go and not let outstander. Good to got here without outstander. We need Nodal Edge too man. We need Nodal Edge at all today. Nodal Edge gotta come back. Y'all be too pussy. Nodal Edge should come back.

What you would do if Ryan Reynolds called you a legend from the six? What you would do that week? It's a trick don't skip it Chat gpc just said he don't have equity of course he produces the movies if you look at the Ryan Reynolds has equity in Deadpool

while exact details of the deal is not publicly disclosed, reports indicate that he structured his contract to include back end points, meaning he earns a percentage of the film profits rather than just a fixed salary. At Google maximum effort productions, it's his. And that is what- He said it is equity. Yes, he has equity in Deadpool. Me getting back end money don't mean I have equity.

That's all I'm saying. I'm not pretending to know Ryan Reynolds' business. Me getting back in don't mean I have equity. He says he does not have equity, but it did say. It actually would mean that he's an equitable partner in everything that they're gonna make. His production company, Maximum Effort, has been involved in Deadpool-related projects,

furthering, trying his financial interest to the franchise. So she, she yeah. I'm not, I don't pretend to, I don't pretend to. That's just Google. They say he's not a billionaire either.

First of all, every time this nigga say I got a sleeper, it's a young lady from such and such, already, I was skeptical, so we started looking at the IG to see what she looked like.
