Got it. As she does the camera pan. I want some, man. Shade. Nothing has made her happier. She's on cloud nine. Nothing has made her happier than this moment. There is actual footage of you telling me to shut the fuck up coming here talking to you guys about your health.

Six months, eight months, ten months, twelve months? And talking about actually doing a Pilates class with all of you on camera. True. Yeah, so, yeah, it feels really good right now actually. It does. It feels really good. How you feeling? Just gotta let it get its shit off her.

I mean everybody wanted me to read comments and stuff, I was like, that's overkill. I'm sure they've seen everything as it is. What'd you write up now? Oh hell the fuck you had to do. That is the one time that I did read the comments. Boy, they did not. She heard it, you gotta let her get her shit off. Yeah, but why is she getting off? Being correct, being right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all do it when we have that, I told you so, that moment. She told us what, That we were unhealthy? Yes. Yes. And niggas didn't want to hear it, shut her down. And now we proven to be unhealthy.

Why we look like sacks of shit, look like bags of laundry. I'm sorry, I'm going too far. But I can get a little bit of, I wasn't there. We could still not want to hear none of that shit. We could still not want to hear that shit. True. She could still get her shit off though. And we could still say shut the fuck up

and just let me speak for me since all these niggas tucked and ran. They were. Let me just speak for me. That's crazy. Let me just speak for me since I'm the only one here. That's wild. The crazy part is that you performed the best

at the game. I refuse to acknowledge it. You know you did. Yeah, you did. That's awesome, but that's not how I left feeling. That's not how I felt for two weeks. After I have made major life changes, that is the heaviest that I probably have ever been.

That scale said like 236. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You'll never be up there. But dog, my girl come cook for me. I do the Uber Eats. When she here, I wild out. I start fucking big ass omelets, all my favorite meals back to back.

My mom cooks for me, my dad cooks for me. If I don't watch it. It's easy, bruh. If I don't watch it now. Bruh, bruh. If I don't watch it now. Bruh, like, you know. I put on a few pounds. My girl cook all the time. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, all the time.

And you don't even realize it. I stepped on the scale and I thought it was broke. I've never seen what it said on the scale. And I was like, oh shit. Yeah, I done talked to the trainer already. It must've been hot, cause you didn't even say the number. No, I'm not saying the number. Like, I know what, you know you got your normal weight, where I'm usually around here, and

then you're like, okay, you have your moments where I've spiked, I'm up here a little bit. I've spiked as a guy. I'm ten past the normal spike. Oh my lord. I said, what? Okay, nah. The problem is you guys wear clothes that are way too comfy and give you a lot of room.

You know what I'm saying? You have to have like a pair of jeans or something like that. Like something from your normal weight. Hanging up as a fucking reminder. And then you try to put those fuckers on at least once a month. And if you can't button that shit or get it up over your hips and ass

You whilin. It's telling you something. I still fit my jeans from high school. I don't know you're the exception to the rule up here Okay, I was five you got a lot of weight distribution high metabolism You're happy to all my jeans to I think all of them still Problem is life is too comfortable. If you make it so. No, no, no.

God has made it so. Well, you got money. This is not my doing. It ain't even just about that. I ain't got money, life is still comfortable. You ain't poor. You doing well. Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead.

You doing pretty fucking good. Okay. I'm just saying, life was too comfortable for a little bit. You gotta do nut head shit, like run to a basketball court at seven o'clock on a Saturday night. Really see what the gauge is. But I'm glad people are having a blast.

It's care. Like, I love y'all and I don't want to see you hurt, you know what I'm saying? So, and that's why I keep stressing Pilates because it's about mobility and y'all don't really have it. How many times have you watched the game? You paid the 20?

I'm part of the staff. What does that mean? About three. Hold on. What the hell does that mean? Is it staff pass? You got a staff pass? What are y'all sharing around here?

About three. About three times. Absolutely. Yeah. All right. around here? About three, about three times. Absolutely. Yeah. All right. Actually my trainer has offered to put you guys

on a cleanse if you want to. Yeah. To kind of kickstart the whole situation. I just did a cleanse. Yeah, actually. 21 days. Cleanse my name out of you and your trainer's conversation. If you don't mind.

Unfortunately, people are just coming up to me and they're like, hey yo Mel. And I'm just like. I've already contacted my own trainer. We will be back in action shortly. Gotta redeem it. Gotta redeem it. Yeah, I've called the necessary people.

Okay, okay. Thank you to. I bought a basketball like two years ago and it's just been in the trunk of my car, completely unused I'm gonna change that I never want to play basketball again, but I'm gonna do it No, I think I think I'm choosing the latter of the two either retire or play more. I'm taking a play more. There you go Yeah, yeah in spring and summers right around the back. Yeah, a little quick run in

I just gotta find the hoops where the kids don't hang out, so I don't have to play against healthy young people. Go to the Y on like senior night or some shit. There you go. Yeah. Is some of y'all out there badly built attempting to body shame? Yeah.

I just want to say, is some of y'all badly built that are attempting to body shame. I'm letting Mel get it off because she was in a King magazine at one point and a smooth and straight stunt. I never did the latter. I know, but I still play. Okay, okay. Restapiece, case leg. Restapiece, case leg. And our version, K-Slay. Rest in peace, K-Slay.

And our version, that's in there. But, yeah, she can get that off. Some of y'all, listen, I'm going to fluctuate. You just caught that at the bad time. You caught me at a really bad moment. After the holidays. I'm going, yeah, happy weight, love, pay-per-view weight. It's cool, got a little break up coming and then you can get on y'all ass. I'm going, yeah, happy Wade love. Yeah, that's that shit. Paper view Wade like.

It's cool, got a little break up coming and then you can get on y'all ass, that's all. Some of y'all is just gonna be built like that forever. So fuck is y'all talking about out there? I'm letting y'all have fun though. I'm letting y'all have fun. But the second I feel like snapping back, don't get sensitive.

Oh, all right, now where y'all wanna start? Where y'all wanna start? Did y'all see this NYPD cop? I sure did. That was in the video? God damn right. You goddamn right. All right, just making sure I wasn't the only one. No, you were not the only one.

Okay. Now, there's a serious talk to be had in that. Please tell us. Well, people are saying why she can't go bust a move and pop some ass on her off time. I'm people. Same. Yeah, I'm people. I'm people.

What is the average salary of a New York City cop? They said she makes like a buck fifty. She made a buck, yeah. She's not doing bad. That's not bad. She's not doing bad. But she might want more. Wait, so all of y'all agree with that?

What? Yeah. I ain't hurting nothing. Y'all fucking crazy. What? She a cop. I'm off work. Let me go over here and shake this ass.

You can't go pop ass while you're on the road. And she had ass. She sure did. That's a whole different topic. She did have ass. She has some ass. And she's fine too. Come on.

I understand why Money picked her to be in the music video. Good job. And I already know that vibe. That's one of her exes or old word. That's somebody that beat before and say, yo, come do me the solid. Yeah. And she did it.

Like all of the fucking Spanish girls with ass that we cool with when we call them and say, hey, can you come do this video? They come do the fucking video. They do it. They do the video. And she might have been living out a dream to be a video vixen.

No, you can't. Now, back to y'all. No, you cannot go pop ass on your off time if you are a detective. They said that she should've just informed her employers. Y'all, I'ma go pop this ass? Yeah. Man, get outta here.

But the union people sounded like they had her back. They're like, she wasn't wearing no paraphernalia, she wasn't advertising. She ain't breaking. Now, she had a uniform on, it's a little different. Yes, that would have been different. Then they could have had a cause for concern or reprimand. Yeah, nah, nah.

No, she was just in lingerie, popping ass. Wanna hear the slap it off? Sure. Oh, it was music to it? There was an actual song. There was an actual song. I don't know if I was vibing with the music. Let's see. All right, all right, all right.

All right, all right. Thanks, buddy. Thanks a lot, buddy. Appreciate it. I'm going to hit the little speaker button on that one. Yeah, no. Yeah, it is. There we go.

Once I heard a little bit of the song, I was like, ugh. I'm like, I'm going to go with the song. I'm going to go with the song. I'm going to go with the song. I'm going to go with the song. I'm going to go with the song. I'm going to speaker, but then that one, you know, once I heard a little bit of the song, I was like, I understand why. Why? Nah, yeah, that's the issue. You need a slap.

Like God damn, if you're going to debut and you're a detective, man, get in some fire shit. Yeah, that was my... That's what let me know he beat. Of course. That, his rapping told me he beat. He might still, yeah, yeah, he beat. For sure. You think she did it for free?

Yes, yes. She better not have done it for free. What? All this shit. She didn't get paid, Mel. Huh? She didn't get paid. She did not get paid for that. this shit. She didn't get paid, Mel. Huh? She didn't get paid.

She did not get paid for that. I mean. She didn't get paid. You don't think so? No. You don't think he threw her like a nice $500? No. I mean.

I do. I think she got a nice cool $500 to do that. Absolutely. But would you take the, if you're making good money, don't even ask me. Don't even ask me. You've done a free video before. You've done a free video before. You've done a free video before, don't lie, don't do that.

You've done a video in which you did not get paid. Not even my first video. Maybe not your first video, but you wanted the videos in your videography, you didn't get paid for. No, that is so far from the truth, absolutely not. Is there anybody that you could have like a great relationship with today? Like, y'all cool.

What if Imani needs a video vixen? And it's like, yo, I need you to do me a favor. She did say she would do the Imani video. There you go. And Imani wasn't paying. Imani didn't have a budget for that video. You was popping out for the free. Yeah, I'm having second thoughts on that.

Well, now. Yeah, now. Now, but you'd have been in there. But anyway, yeah, she definitely had ass. I do think that some of these jobs come with morals clauses to where your outside behavior can have an impact on your job. I would have assumed a policeman to be one of those gigs.

But maybe I'm off. Well, if there is a morality clause, then honestly, all the outside behavior of cops assaulting their wives should be taken into account, but it never is. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. If we're going to talk about morality clauses.

I agree. I'll tell you what, that police union is strong. I don't think she's gonna, I think she'll be all right. She'll be just fine. She'll be just fine. I don't see what the case is. Even if you have a morality clause, I didn't do anything, like we're gonna have to argue that.

She's okay, she's not getting reprimanded. She's not, she hasn't been suspended with or without pay. She good, and she's got her, you know. So it's just people talking. It's just people talking, that's it, her you know just people talking it's just people talking that's it that's it oh if it's just people talking then I'm about to book her for a music video I feel like I could freestyle better than that shit that money was doing parts send me a beat call her right on over from the Bronx wish yeah wish you right yeah pop skipping the jump right right there right there I where she at? Where she police? She right there. Yeah, she right there. Pop, skipping the jump, right?

You know, she's that. Right there. I know she got a car. She make a buck 50, he ain't got ass. She got something nice. Yeah, she got a car. She'll get here. Yeah, she'll get here.

Something German. She'll get here like a leader. Yo, we are terrible, bro. Amber said, Kanye booked her for the fake video in her Shannon interview. Oh, that's how he got her? Yeah, booked her for the fake vid. her Shannon interview. Oh, that's how he got her? Yeah. Booked up for the fake vid.

Yo, not enough talk goes down about how effective the fake vid is. The fake booking period. Anything. It works. It works. Especially if you're Kanye West or something. I've seen it work.

It just got the cop there. It's worked from niggas like that. Yeah. It's worked from regular niggas that sit on these couches and talk. Yeah. I'm telling you. It works.

I thought about trying it before. My G was just so ill in other areas. I didn't need to do it. But it wasn't off the table. I call it bullshit. I'm pretty sure you used that at some level. Yeah, me too. I don't think I got it off.

I mean, I'm not trying to act like I'm above it. Yeah. Maybe I had the plan and it just didn't get executed, but. So it was true for a moment. It was true for a little bit of time and then it wasn't true anymore. Well, yeah, I always got the girl. I always got the girl I wanted.

So there was no need to, but when it was time to think of a plan, that was not off the table. Yo, I need you for a vid, yada, yada, yada, yada. Now, you know what the one used to be. Call up good old lady L. Book her. Book her. Book her. Get her the host.

Oh, yeah Course so many bodies off That is fucked up or not between me Yep, that was a nice little move back in whatever years those were. Oh my god I'm so glad I changed. Yeah, man. Oh, we Bro, yo shout out to maturity That's a love My girl we can switch phones the other day. Oh my god salute

Yeah Yeah, but it was well, it was really the proof of point though. She already got your phone though. That's true. Would you really switch it? It's not really fair trade. It's not at all. My phone ain't gonna ring no way. That shit rung last night while I was in the middle of a good cuddle.

Girl name popped right up with the dash and another girl name. Couldn't have been no worse. So now the number's saved girl name. Couldn't have been no worse. So now the number saved in there. What do you do in that moment when you have grown and you're mature and you're faithful? I didn't do nothing, cause it wasn't nothing. So I go use the bathroom, I run around, 10 minutes later, your big dog.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know. Yeah, it came up again. Oh, it was a double ring? Uh-oh. No, no, no, I'm saying the talk, the topic. Yeah, nigga, it ain't over. Got it, got it. You walked off like nothing happened.

Back to this though. Let me holler at you real quick, playboy. Who's that one about? I don't know who that is. You able to say it? Yep. I still don't know who it is. You got bad numbers this phone. I don't know who they are.

Well, if Michael dash Ricardo popped up on my phone, what would you do? I said, I would call him. Pick it up. I would call him. Put it on speaker. If you didn't answer, I would call him. Even if I'm joking, I'm saying it right now, I would call him.

So if you want to call here, through the wall, bow. Call him. She said, you playing with me, I'll find out who it is. She said, I said how? She said, give me the number, I gave her the number. She typed that shit in cash, I haven't found out exactly said, give me the number. I gave her the number. She typed that she didn't catch it and found out exactly who it was. Oh, shit.

It's four different. That's how you do it. She is so much smarter than me. And that's bare level. She is so much smarter than me. That's bare level. Okay. She typed that she was right in there

and she didn't find out who it was. Okay, so when you saw the name, did you recall who? We know who it is now. Okay. Now we know exactly who it is. Thank God. Thank God. it is. Thank God. Thank God. A mystery.

Thank God. Convo don't stop there. Did it stop there? Well, it stopped there for me. Because, because, well it didn't stop there. You were like, oh, it hurts? But. Fuck you, all right, now you know who it is, okay.

Well, why the fuck she go? Yeah, there we go. But I don't know. Cause I didn't answer. And wait, can I ask what time? Yeah, there we go. But I don't know. Because I didn't answer. And wait, can I ask what time this was? Because that matters. That definitely matters. If it's like 930, it's fine.

It was in the middle of a good cuddle and a good TV show. What time? Like almost in that time. Maybe 839. OK, so that's not bad. If it was 130, you might have a problem. It's not the worst. So did I pull out some of my gaslighting tricks.

Of course you did. Of course you did, yeah. Because why you would... Gas can right there. No, before we found out who it was, and now that you know it, it's why you assume that it's the worst. Why you assume that whatever they calling for is that. Because of the way their name was saved?

Because of the way you responded to it. It's because of the way you... I didn't respond to it. I didn't answer it. Look, look, look, look. To them, when it's who's that, oh way you responded to it. It's because of the way you, to them. I didn't respond to it. I didn't answer it. Look, look, look, to them, when it's who's that? Oh, I don't know. It's like, what you mean you don't know? Now it's like, okay, now you looking a little sketchy

so she thinks you being sketchy for that. That's all it is. My sketchy days are over, Big Freeze. I hear you, same. I believe you. My sketchy days. I'm just telling you why she reacted that way. But there's still some cleanup that probably just needs

to be done that you're not aware of. And then it calls and you're like, oh, shit. Well, no, that wouldn't be the cleanup. That wouldn't be? That wouldn't be the cleanup. My phone rang. You crazy? Okay.

Phone won't ring. You crazy, girl? Listen, these days are long gone for me. You crazy girl? Listen, these days are long gone for me. I'm just letting you cook. Go ahead, go ahead. No, no. It's your day.

I started a wave. The designer started. Look, I started a wave. Look, designers started a wave. I started the wave. Look, now look at them. Everybody running around naked now. Hey bro, listen, you gotta start whooping these passengers ass or something. What class were they in? Well, it's Southwest.

It was Southwest though. First go, first serve. Yeah, pretty much. And it was a really short flight too. It was from Houston to Phoenix. You gotta remember though, man, people feel like if they goin' down, they goin' down in the blaze of glory, no disrespect.

If this shit gonna go down with all the flights, let me get naked. Nothing happens. No, I don't care. I don't wanna hear that shit. If I gotta be somewhere, and now we gotta turn around and go back because you wanna be a dumbass

and strip naked on a plane. Well, what if there's sleepwalking? Yeah, no. Sleepwalk your ass in that bathroom, we gonna lock your ass in there. This flight need to take off. Yeah. Stop fucking up people's flights.

That shit went back to the gate. It did go back to the gate and apparently she was running back. It was a she? It was a she and she was running up and down the aisles. Wait, wait, wait, she had ass? Was she a detective? She was.

Hold on now. This was in flight entertainment now. It looked like she did have some ass. She was a detective? She was. Hold on now. It's in flight entertainment now. It looked like she did have some ass. She was running up and down the aisles for a good 25 minutes. Nobody stopped her. I bet, because she had ass. Hell yeah. We'd have made it rain in that motherfucker.

Everybody just enjoyed the show. Stripping the air. It's some new shit. Yeah. See, big pussy get to run up and down the aisle for 20 minutes. Let that have been a dick dangling. It's over, nigga.

It's a difference. It's a difference. They would have killed that. They would have tackled him with his children there. They would have sent all that. They would have threw him out the plane. Yeah. My child.

Wade, then there was another plane, I want to say a few weeks ago, where a passenger just started knocking out the window of the... Stop laughing. You can't laugh. I'm serious. He started knocking out the window of the exit row. Yeah. Oh, they see now you in there. Don't do that. Yes in the air. Oh, you're not sick individual. Chill. Stop laughing, son. All call Ian, I call Ian, I say, yo, Joe, stop, bro.

You can't say it. Yeah, no, please don't. Just say it real quick. No. You cannot say that. What did he say? Yeah. Joe, please.

Where my pillow at? We was talking about the Netflix dog with Malcolm X. That's it, that's it. That's it. What a show that'll never come out. That's it, we was talking about the Netflix dog. Joe, that's a classic episode, Joe. With Malcolm X. Nah, he gonna pay for review that one. That nigga come out. That's it. We were talking about the Mav-Mex. That's a classic episode, Joe. With Malcolm X.

Now he's going to pay for you that one. That nigga, Parks, said, delete it. No, he tried to, Joe said, don't delete it. Parks had to press Control Z to get it back. Parks deleted it. We can't talk about footage that they'll never see. Thank you. Come on, Joe, please.

No. Just say the line. No. I can't say that line, but boy, that just was funny. What did Elijah Muhammad say? Nothing. He said, have you seen? Oh, my God.

He can't help himself. He can't. He's not helping himself. You did the voice. You did the voice. Joe, you did the voice, too. And we were moving on. We were trying to move on.

We were moving on. We are moving on. Thank you very much. God damn. Trying to preserve life over here. Yo, what would y'all do in the event that y'all want a flight and somebody got up and started bugging or started wilding

or started stripping or started behaving belligerently? Do I have singles? Do she got ass? And it depends on who. No, you don't have singles on the flight. Do she have ass? No, they never have ass in real life. I'm coming from Houston.

I might have some. There might be some ass on there. And it might be some ass. I mean, in all reality, No, they never had ass. I'm coming from Houston, I might have some. There might be some ass on there. And there might be some ass. I mean, in all reality, you know what we're doing. I mean, some of us are going to be perversed, watch, but while others are going to prepare for us to go back to the gate, we're going to be pissed off, cursing, take this bitch down or take this nigga down.

They be jumping niggas on the plane now. Now passengers are involving themselves in tackling and assaulting people that act like that. You tackling a naked nigga though? Nigga, if what? I might just trip him. So the question I have is that if we're able to get the person that's acting irate contained, do they still have to turn around?

Probably. Yeah. So they can't put them in a seat and duct tape them? I swear they duct taped somebody one time. I hear they duct taped the nigga one time, but they still, that's just to get back. Okay. So now, now.

Yeah, we fucking them up. You gotta forget about that. If we gotta turn back around and go to New York. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Whoop his ass. We gonna beat him up. Thank you, bro. I got arrested mad times at the end of the flight.

Oh, for real? What? Yes. So you got arrested at the end of a flight? It's not arrested, because I wasn't arrested. Take you to a little room. Detained. But.

They escort you off the plane. Sir, come on. The marshals or whatever. What are they called? Air marshals. Air marshals. I'm going to have the police at the gate waiting on you.

For you. What did you do? You cursed out a flight attendant. Trying to smoke. No. That would be disgusting. What did I do? For you, let me you curse out a flight attendant trying to smoke What did I do my memory is bad you cursed out a flight attend there's one I think you were trying to go to the bathroom when they say you couldn't go to the bathroom with you just like Curse you to not go not go to the bathroom Then there's that one yeah, I fell asleep on a passenger but that kid

I'm saying that happens. Why would that one, yeah. I fell asleep on a passenger. But that can't, what? So what? That happens. As I'm saying, that happens. Why would you get detained for that? No, that's not okay. You can't fall asleep with your head on a passenger. And they gotta call the cops for that? Where did this new rule come from? Corey, you're like, no.

That's not a new rule, you can't do that. People allow you to do it on the top. Well, sometimes you just, if you're sitting up. That's a courtesy. And if somebody's gonna admit that they don't, the cops, I gotta get arrested now? That seems excessive.

Wake me up, my nigga. Yo, yo, big dog, big dog, big dog. So he didn't wake you, the person you fell asleep on, they didn't wake you up? Apparently not. They were like, excuse me. Black man, sleep on me, get him. Then there was a time I was dead set on telling them

that this first class seat was mine and it wasn't. I could see that one. It wasn't. It wasn't even. I used to play a lot of poor games. Trying to stick to the first classes. I used to play a lot of poor people games. How long do they hold you when they entertain you

in that little room? Because there's a room back there. I got sent to that room too. There's a room. Hold on. You walk on the plane and sit in the, you didn't have a first class seat at all. Not at all.

You just sat there. I've done that before. I just saw that happen on my last flight. First class people gotta go in first. Right. So you chill. Let the plane go. Come in kinda when you think all of them are done.

And if it's open seat, you sit there. This is before I knew that they had a list of your name to go with the seat. And some people get the at the gate upgrade to first class. And they fill those up with that. Then there's some of that. So sometimes, you know, get up and you leave. This one time I just wasn't with that, I guess. then there's some of that. So sometimes, you know, get up and you leave. This one time I just wasn't with that, I guess.

So when they detain you, what do they do? How long are you in the airport for, Joe? I wasn't, it wasn't never that long. I was never arrested. Got it, got it. I just had something happen, the last, when I just took a flight last weekend, it was a regular United flight.

I did not fly first class. And you know, United got your regular seats. Why didn't you? Short flight, sit on right here, I'm gonna save the money. How long was it? Two hours? Three? No, two hours.

Two and a half. Two hours. What's the price difference? Short flight is like from here to Boston where it ain't no first class. A little 45 minute shit? Yeah, two hours, there's a first class. No, I'm saying they had it, I just felt I didn't need it.

I needed it for a longer flight after my experience. But anyway, so they have the extended leg row seats that are right near the exit row. Economy, economy plus, and then yeah. Oh, the exit, yeah, the plus ones, the exit. They were all empty. So the three people across from me all got up and just sat in them seats.

And then I had my daughter, me, and the person that was next to me, he got up and sat across from me. So me and my daughter had the row. Flight attendant walked up, she was like, these seats are all paid for. We're in the air already. These seats are all paid for, you can't sit there.

They're like, dog, ain't nobody in the seats. And she made them get up, made him get up to come back to his seat. Everybody arguing with her, I'm just sitting there laughing, like, that's why you sit in your seat. See, I've been on some fun flights where just nobody made the flight, and whoever had the mic was cool. So they're like, hey, this is all that's on the plate,

sit wherever you are! To what you want! See, that's why, that's why, you don't lay down on that shit. I've been on some of those too now. I've been on that, yeah. They tell you that should be killed because they're like, yo, this is a full flight.

This is a full flight that you get on this mad empty seat. Why the flight attendants be, and all disrespecting tenant, why the flight attendants be having attitudes that act like they God sent to Earth? Like, you know, they God on Earth. I don't necessarily think that that's bad. Not the gay ones, they cool.

But I'm talking about the, they cool, they already, they've been through a lot. What I'm saying is that there's a lot of fighter tenders that have nasty attitudes, they're not respectful. You say hello, they snotty some of them, a lot of them. I don't like that. I had to come across those, thank God. Not the young ones with the BBLs, they cool,

because they know you watching them and shit. But the ones that be acting stink, nah. Get them out, get them out, rep they know you watching them and shit. But the ones that be acting stink? Nah. Get them out. Rep for your next gig. Oh shit. Hey, welcome to Jet Blue. My name is Melissa Savannah Ford and I'm here to bring you... This part shit don't work out.

Just do a little seatbelt shit. She'll do the seatbelt. Right now, this right here is the air thing. Oxygen mask. So when it falls... Put it on yourself and then your children. Then put it on somebody else. We have water, we have chips, we have plantains.

Oh, by the way, wait, this is cheese. She had them talking to herself, I can't believe they have cheese on here while the mic is on. Like, listen to that. She's going to be the stewardess for the privates. Yeah, that wouldn't be the only time I was ever a stewardess. Or playing one.

OK. On like a major TV series or somethingwardess. Or playing one. Okay. On like a major TV series or something like that. Ooh, okay, okay. Like, on Tarantino. All right. Okay. Okay, big dog.

You can't play with your dog. I'm playing well, yo. Yo, T-Pain is a... Going viral. Listen to this, man. Hey, this part ain't about shit. Nope. So T-Pain took a regular domestic flight from Vegas to Atlanta or some shit Atlanta to Vegas one or the other

And the fans was asking them. Hey, why the fuck are you flying? regular economy economy, so Then he no just regular commercial commercial commercial So then he posted how much it costs to fly private round trip from Vegas to Atlanta. She was like a buck 20 something, right? It was like a buck 20 something, and he was like, yeah, that's why I do this.

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if you say why this is a problem. Well, it's a problem because then I got to scratching my head. T-Pain was making a lot of sense, but they was on his ass. But when I sat and thought about, oh, because then T-Pain kept saying, yo, they think I'm broke. They think I went broke again because I guess he got his big check.

Yeah, he sold his catalog. He sold his catalog. He got his big check, sold his catalog. So, but when he kept saying they think I went broke again, it reminded me that there was a point where people thought T-Pain went broke. And back in that time, T-Pain was popping a lot of big money shit. Like T-Pain was showing off vehicles and rims He had the Bugatti, yeah. and from the video that he left in the future. and houses and jewelry. Big ass chain.

When T-Pain was bugging. Yeah. He was bugging. He was showing ass. Not like showing ass. I know what you're saying. I'm saying he was showing the fuck out. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, you making sense now. Stop, Joe.

But that's my man. That's my man, so I'm chilling. But niggas gotta knock it the fuck off. Growth. I know, growth and maturity. Yes. Was that the price? Growth and maturity.

Is that the actual price that you pay when you flew private? No, he could have get a better price than that. Got it. He can get a better price than that. So he was just being funny. I was going to write that in there, but then I was going to look away.

So let me mind my fucking business. But he could have got a better price than that. Yeah, that was a little high. Nigga got this bag and I was like, all right, I went through some money before. I know what not to do. I'm going to be a little frugal on this in some ways. Not even frugal, I'm going to be smarter with my money, that's all.

There's nothing wrong with taking the commercial flight. Not at all. When you go bro Joe and you have a come up again, you spend different. You learn the lesson. You get things different, they learn you. Nigga, you lit, and then now and then now you back in the trap. Like it hit different. They get up and think it will never end. Now I'm like I'm

up here. I'm living. I save up when I fly private. I saved. You had a good. Watch your mouth. And I only do it, baby. Twice. You're not allowed to. You better not fly private after

this. No more private flights. After what? Whatever happens, no more private for the whole year. Be regular, be cool. After the pay-per-view shit? See? Yo, y'all niggas are so stupid, man.

That shit funny, though. I don't get it. I love that. Them niggas is in the comments. I ain't gonna lie, you cause an uproar. Genius. Yes. Genius. Facts. ain't gonna lie, you cause an uproar. Genius. Yes. Genius.

Facts. The algorithm was here, that shit showed up. I'm like, come on, man. Because Twitter right now in the trending section, they give you like a synopsis of what's going on. Okay. Joe Budden podcast plays basketball and shit. 6,000 tweets.

Hold on. I ain't like that shit. I ain't like that shit. You know what's funny? Then I'm getting out of this. But this is what was funny. When you upload, I guess there's a comment section for the niggas that's not buying it. Yeah, sorry.

Oh shit. They were mad. And it's a different comment section once you buy it. Boy, those niggas cuttin' ass over there. In that section where they didn't buy it yet, they was hoardin' my ass. Yo nigga, I went to my other page to go see that section. Oh my lord.

They tore my ass up in that little section. I got outta there, I protected my inner piece. You gotta be careful what you consume out there on the internet. That is a fact. Speaking of being careful what you consume on the internet, it was reported by somewhere that I didn't fact check that they caught one of those dudes that killed the five-year-old girl and her dad. They did.

They caught one of them. They did. They released a mugshot and everything, the name. They caught, I thought it was two. Or they named two, but they caught one. That's it, that's it, that's it. They did catch one. Thank God.

Yeah, thank God. I love the streets, yo. Yeah, cause man, I mean, I did end up watching that horrible, horrible video, and I must've watched it wrong. What it looked like was he ran away from the car. That's what I saw. So that they wouldn't shoot the car.

That's what it looked like to me. But then it looks like fucking, after they chased him, they went back and shot at the car while he wasn't there. So it's just nasty all around, rest in peace. Rest in peace to him and her. For sure. her for sure those prayers condolences to the family Got to be tough. Gotta be tough. Gotta be tough. I did see on that They had one of the little girls

Classmates at school. Yeah, come on. Oh, yeah done. I would the real innocent. Hey, where's my friend? Yeah Yeah, yeah, man. It's heartbreaking. Straight up. I was fucked up. I couldn't watch. Where is your, where has humanity gone? It's disgusting.

It's just we so desensitized to shit now, man. Or, that's it. Like when I watch these things, like it comes over my timeline and I found, at one point I was watching it and it didn't bother me, then at a point now, it bothers me a lot. I guess the older I get, it's just like,

I don't want to see this. At one point you look at it like, okay, did this really happen? Now it bothers me, it's nasty. I don't want to watch it, I try to avoid it. I don't even know how to avoid it. I don't know what Elon got going over there. I can't, I just swipe up, I don't want to watch, I try to avoid it. I don't know how to avoid it. I don't know what Elon got going over there. I just swipe him, I don't want to see that.

This is the first time anybody's ever seen him walking around or acknowledging a kid. But he's using this kid and people are like, he's using this kid as a shield.

He wears a Kevlar vest on his chest, and he always has his kid somewhere around, like on his shoulders, so he's protecting his head, using his kid as a shield. That is the consensus from everybody who's watching it. Okay. Yeah. Man, man, man. Yes?

That was only true for Beans. That's it. The rest of you niggas, y'all were rappers, yo. Niggas do, I think that what it is is that when you put that out there, I don't read comments or I don't go online. You're trying to say that you're not bothered by anything that is said about you.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. To me, that's how, that's it. No, I'm saying I'm protecting my peace. You can't even do your job if you're not online. True, let me, let me. And, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, go on the IG pages, Reddit, Patreon, YouTube, I don't read any of that. Now I am active on Twitter all the time. You know, I've been on here forever. Of course.

The way the algorithm works is it's going, and I'm a member of the community, so if I hit my For You page, it's gonna show me a lot of those tweets. I see that and I see anything that I'm tagged in. I agree. That's not the same as actively reading the comments. You used to read, like you would go into Patreon. I would search everything that's said. Joe knows everything

that's written anywhere. He knows when you ugly play. Don't play with me, nigga. I read it all. Every last thing that y'all are saying in the rooms on your feeds on other platforms Reddit all the reddits every one of them now. You know what's nasty about this nigga he will watch a person with 14 views. YouTube. He said y He said, I watched this guy with 14 views. He was making sense, but too bad. Yeah, I'm watching it all. Too bad and it catch on. Then I go to my cast pages, see what the fuck they on. Yeah, true.

So yeah, that's all. That's when me personally, when I say I don't read it, that's what I mean. I used to lie about it. I used to lie, I didn't read, I read everything. Yeah, I don't read that shit. I used to lie. All right, come on, wrap it up with our talk.

Read the comments, deep down. Let Mel get her lie off if she's not online. She's not online. She's booked and busy. I am though, but it's the same as Freeze. I don't actively go into a platform just to read the comments. It will be like, for you, Paige, or mentions,

and I see it, and I might respond or I know. How about, how about. Woe is you guys. Nah. Oh, God. We don't, we don't have, we don't have, I don't have the fortitude that you have. It's so tough. And on top of that, she booked, you know she extra booked and busy.

Gotta highlight that. Shit has been jumping. I know shit. Yeah. Your feet went up. Oh yeah. Oh. She I know shit. Yeah. Your feet went up? Oh yeah. Oh. Wow.

So you couldn't humble yourself and just keep it off the love. You had to upgrade your feet. Would you? OK, there we go. Maybe. Right, no. How high did it jump? Good question.

How many Xs? That's personal. How many Xs? Hm? And who's booked you at the new fee? Don't get in my business fee don't get in my business We company you They love me and that's hate. Always Coca Cola. Coca Cola, boogie. You can't get me my Red Bull. Hey, y'all niggas, y'all are playing around out there.

Let Fat Joe get y'all up talking about today's price and yesterday's price. And then don't nobody call. You better be careful. Don't set your price too high now. No, but something, when you get shout out, wait, hold on, when you get shout out, inquiries happen. Niggas shout out, wait, hold on, when you get shout out, inquiries happen.

Niggas reach out, especially, I can imagine niggas try to latch onto that wave. So if you get shout out for something, yeah, I can see her getting inquiries, but I don't know who's. All right, so come on, now that y'all wanna, all right, so now that you wanna do it. Because if I'm, let me just say this,

if her shit was 6,000, right, and she went to 30, niggas say, girl, I just heard you had to say, you was getting six, man. Yo, what's your problem, man? 30! Girl, I could call Buffy and whatever. Damn. Let me get for the 20 beats. This is what I'm asking.

Wait. What the fuck is it? Yo. He's crazy. I'm sorry, man. I'm just so happy you- Mel Dusha- Can we write this down, this little part?

Please. Please, God damn. Mel Dusha like that, Joe. She would drastically hike the price. This is what I'm asking, y'all. Not Mel. I ain't playing with it. All right, you get a big shout out.

I'm not playing with it. I'm not playing with it. I'm not playing with it. I'm not playing with it. I'm not playing with it. I'm not playing with it. I'm not playing with is what I'm asking y'all. Not Mel, I ain't playing with it. All right, you get a big shout out. Now your price done went. From whom though?

Depending on it, Kendrick. Stevie fucking won it. It's somebody big. Stevie won it. I'm saying somebody big is lit out there. Janet Jackson says some shit, somebody else said it. Somebody is raising your price. Let's put the starting the starting price is six

He was making six. I was making six. You took the jump. We ain't got a name what the jump is All right, it jumped off for that would you jumped out the window though with it? I could jump jump wherever you jumped it at I don't even care Okay, if you took the six to ten or fifteen wherever you took to my question is How long does your price stay there before it comes back down? Very good question. Depends on what you got cooking.

Yeah, once, once, once. Wait, how do it depend on what you got cooking? I'm telling you. You had a whole bunch cooking. The price change didn't depend on what you got cooking. It depended on. The shout out. So now the shout happened, but it's back there now.

Yeah, but listen. So how long can you say, it's just back there now. So how long can you say, yo? I'm telling you, when them calls start getting, not the calls, but when you give them that new price, and it ain't like, we going to pass, we going to pass, and that happened quite a few times in a row, and you not getting booked for the new price no more, and they, nevermind, time to put it on for sale.

Gotta bring it back down a little bit. That's it, nigga. But then, that's sort of like, I don't wanna get serious, but then you're the same person that would say that you give them the price that you know you're worth. Right? So then like, do you- Well, I was gonna say on the flip side of what you're saying,

even though I agree with what he's saying, being serious now. That's what I'm saying. There's also times where you may set your price at something that you're not getting from the field at all. Like you're gonna set your price, my price is 10. Nobody's paying me 10, I ain't got 10, but I'm standing firm at the 10.

Cause one, eventually somebody will give me 10. And two, I just need the word to go around that I'm charging 10. Now also, so I'm not getting booked. You have to be able to, able and willing to sustain You better be able to play that game. to sustain without getting that 10 though. You have to.

Yeah. You gotta be able to, this what I want. You gotta be able to do some of this shit. You gotta hold out. Yeah, if you wanna hold out, you just gotta be able to weather the storm. You got to hold out. Yeah, if you want to hold out, you just got to be able to weather the storm. Yeah. I think that when the shit goes-

That was one of my and Ian's first little sit downs when he kept telling me to not take my $3,500 brown bag. I was like, what do you mean? Look, it's a brown bag full of money. And if I do this a couple of money, and if I do this a couple times, yeah, I need this money. Like, I can't afford to not have this money. He's like, yeah, but then everybody gonna keep knowing

that a $3,500 brown bag can get it done. You gotta say no. Nigga, why were you saying no for mad long? It was months and months and months. I was broke as shit. And that's what a real test is We don't talk about the sacrifices. That's the real test. Everybody can't everybody can't do that. Nope Or some niggas of all right, you know what? I'm a hot my hunker down and

I'm not taking no brown bags and then niggas got life knocking on the door kids and all that shit All right, you know what? Let me go get I know I could go get that That's the other thing though. if you saying your price is 10, I'm just throwing numbers out, if you saying your price is 10 and it ain't been, it's up to you to go prove why it is too. Gotta justify. Gotta justify.

Gotta justify. I was mad at you when I told you I was getting a number and you told me I gotta turn that number down. I remember we had something about that. You was like, yo man, we had something big about that. And he was like, nigga, I remember that. You gotta turn that number down, man. You don't have to go chase all the brown bags, man.

I forgot how you put it, but you put it in a way that when I went home and thought about it, I'm like, oh, I understand what he's saying. But nigga, when you in the midst, if it's easy to get a quick seven, if it's easy to drive to D.C. and get a quick nine, anything easy ain't worth having. Got it.

I mean, easy is... Relative. Thank you. I heard such a simple quote in something I was watching the other day, maybe one of them shows or whatever, but the thing about being great, I mean, part of being great is being great. That's the end of the quote.

Like you gotta be great. So much comes with being great that if you wanna be great, then you gotta actually be great, which is not taking what's easy and sitting right there, or taking the drive country to just doing some shit, some shit, bugged out shit that everybody's not signing up to do. What separates you from the pack? Now we done got serious.

I was just trying to crack on Mel. We done got serious by mistake. But also, real quick back to Mel, her price is going to remain up because she's on the podcast. She's currently working and she's currently rebuilding the cache, so it's gonna go up. Obviously she's on here, he shot her out cool. It's up. Ain't no rebuilding the cache, watch your mouth.

No, I mean, it's dead, but what I'm saying. Watch your mouth, nigga. At one point Mel was dormant, she admitted. Like she was chilling, she was over there in LA. I wouldn't necessarily say LA. She ran out of studio. Yo, this nigga. She rented out a studio.

It was a dream of mine to have a studio. But also... He's so dumb. Look at that. Do you want to do photo shoots? What camera you got? Do you have a rad? We rent those too. That's hate.

I researched that shit. You was killing it over there. You was killing it. I'm being funny. You was killing it but what I'm saying is that now, Mel, your face is out there, because Mel, you go, we don't give you enough credit, but you consistently, I don't know how I behave,

you consistently go viral at a constant rate, and you be lying that you don't be reading that shit, but you have to be looking at this shit. I told you, sometimes the shit just filters across me. Sometimes you can't not see it. You consistently, so I do feel like in closing for me, male price will stay at 30.

Even if she's not getting it, she gonna fight for the 33. She gonna try to get it out of you. Well, you shot him in the eye, look. Joe. Stop being so hidden. That nigga don't budge. Stop being so hidden. That nigga's looking stoned. That nigga's looking stoned. That Scalabar, he don't budge. That nigga don't budge. That nigga's looking stoned.

That nigga's looking stoned. That's Scalabah. He don't budge. The only person that's making moves is you and E. Erikson called, I gotta talk. You are so stupid. Gotta budge. He don't budge. That is a fact. Man, it's just Mel came into the office like, eh.

Stop, man. Shout out on that shit where you did something. I mean, I already heard about the fucking trade and shit like that. What? Did I do it? Huh? Who did the trade, did you hear? The trades, the trade, the trade conversation.

But who did a trade that involved you, Wyd? You! You traded her and Daisy. Word. Huh, Daisy, me, Mike? Oh, you're talking for Prime Rory when we did that. Yes. Oh. Well?

This still counts. This still fucking counts. I'm still a little perturbed by that situation. You have to put something of value in the trade. Okay. Okay. I was the one saying I wouldn't want to do that. You have to put something of value in the trade. Okay. I was the one saying I wouldn't want to do that, but if I had to and was forced. I can see Mel now.

I went to LA to scout. I wouldn't give Mel up so he can't. He sure did. I got... Yeah, come on now. You did. I put mad work in the scouting of Mel up so easily. He sure did. I got, yeah, you did, you did. I put mad work in the scouting of Mel. He did, he did. And it worked out.

And it worked out. And it worked out. That's all that matters. But guess what? Guess what? What? It's our favorite part of the show. A prize, bitch!

Yo, wait, hold on, you got PC? What's going on? What moment we in, you got PC? What's going on? What's going on with you? You got PC? Yo, man, it was so cute at the end of the episode. The J.B.P. That was fire. That was fire. She's got my melon body in it. She said, I'm getting the fuck out of here.

Yo, I was looking on Twitter on our break, and Complex Sports posted the Joe Button basketball game, Joe Button podcast basketball game was worth the $20, in bold letters. Now, So to me, I'm just thinking that you're using your own resources, not your own resources, but using your own audience that you built, and you know, they they paying to see it.

But now you got other entities promoting. It's a little different, nigga. Are we good? That water shit you was pulling the other day, I thought you was fucked up. That 350 I had to give you, I thought you was fucked up. That was all part of, so you fell for the gaff. It was all part of the plan for some business.

You fell for the gaff, bro. And I even called Ian, I said, Ian, is everything all right? And the nigga started laughing. I bet he did. He said, everything is good. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha. I said, you sure? And the nigga joking, y'all changing waters. Ian's so. I swear to God, I swear to God. Every nigga's great. Ha ha ha ha.

He said, yeah, buddy. He said, buddy, please. Yeah. And he tried to make me feel good. Oh my God. If anything was wrong, I would call you and tell you. Nigga, no you won't, cause now it's good. Everything is cool.

Patreon is rolling out some really cool features. Ooh. Hip hop DX. Read the caption. The Joe Button podcast. Read the caption. Cooping is comedy. No, no, no.

Yeah. Read that. It was funny. It was. The $20 for this Patreon episode of the Joe Ben podcast is money well spent. Whoa. Hold on now. If you get it on the site.

Oh, you're asking if I pay for the advertising? Yeah. No, they just doing that. That's humbug. They just on the shrimp. Same thing that happened with that little fight that you orchestrated. I went off Fight with a staff Hold on I ain't even that

Flip don't waste our time. It's to pay the pay per view. You talking about your pay per view with me and you? No. No. Your pay per view. Your pay per view. Money and homeboy. Oh yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, of course. Got it.

You ain't eat from that one. Yeah, yeah, I ain't, yeah. You ate from that one. I did eat from that one, yes. Good meal too. Okay, yo, please. Hardee's, seconds. Tomahawk.

Seconds and thirds. And they can fool. Wagyu Tomahawk. Loaded baked potatoes. Oh yeah, super loaded. Chives. No cheese though. Chives. Thank they can fool. Wagu tomahawks. Loaded baked potatoes. Oh yeah, super loaded. Chives. No cheese though.

Chives. Thank you man, thank you. Chives, bacon, sour cream. Hey yo, real quick. It's alright. Real quick, I did see on the internet a woman said that she was in the store with a man. He paid for her food and when she saw his order, he ordered chicken nuggets and she was turned off.

Like enough. My food selection does not turn you off. Enough of that. But it turns someone else off. Yeah, yeah. But it, don't say all your story. It can't happen, because if a chick's in front of me and orders steak well done, I'm turned off.

Joe, that's ridiculous, Joe. Yeah. Why, what does that have? Why are we judging people based off what they eat? A what? It just says you lack something. Like what? A lot of something.

Sophistication. If you're eating a well done steak, we don't have much to talk about. You skipped some steps. Yeah. Like our conversation. Your palate is basic. There's some rooms you were banned, you're banned from.

One of them is all the ones in my house. What if you go into the big rooms and ask them to make the steak well done? You're not gonna get in those rooms. You won't get in those rooms. In the right spots they won't even allow you to pick the temperature of the steak. They'll look at you funny like are you sure? No they don't allow it. It's cooked at this because this is our specialty and you can't Pup with that. You don't want to eat it this way. You don't come here. It's like when I ask for a fork in the real sushi places.

You still do that Joe? Well, no now I eat it this way, you don't come here. That's like when I asked for a fork in the real sushi places. You still do that, Joe? Well, no, now I eat it with my hands. Joe, learn how to use chopsticks, man. They told me that eating with your hands is acceptable if you don't know how to use chopsticks. Learn how to use chopsticks. You could put a little rubber band around. My thumb fell off when I was a kid. What are you talking about, learn how to use chopsticks?

It's easy. Just put the little rubber bands on the top. I don't know how to use chopsticks, it's never gonna work. I could barely hold a pen. Okay. You judging a man for eating chicken nuggets on the date? I mean, if we're in a movie theater and there's chicken nuggets.

No, we told him at a restaurant. Oh, yes. You're not getting date number two? What the fuck? But he checks all your other boxes though You guys are you wouldn't the guy the guy who ordered chicken nuggets that say like, oh, I don't know the hunting fish club He does not check the chicken tenders dear No

We're at the fucking hunting fish club We're here for a reason we're here for for a reason. We're here for top shelf shit. And you order chicken fucking nuggets? They can be top shelf chicken nuggets. Christ on a cracker, no. There is no such thing. That's white shit right there. We are Christ on a cracker.

Definitely white shit. It's also racist probably. That is extremely, it's double fuckers Christ on a cracker. That's a double whammy. That's how Switzerland popping out again. It's cool.

All right, we back. I'm conflicted. Oh, sorry. What, what's wrong? The Braun and Stephen A. Smith stuff. I'm conflicted and I wanna just say why. Go ahead. I'm not into sports.

Because he addressed it, but go on. I'm not into sports, but this came on my timeline. And me as a father, I understand how LeBron feel. But on the other hand, I understand what Stephen A is saying is that if you know your son is not doing good on the team, you're the leader of this team, you shouldn't be that sensitive. If you're allowing, I don't wanna say, if you're allowing him to play.

Of course he said that you, we know you didn't tell the coach to put him in or whatever, whatever Steven said. But I do understand what Steven is saying. Like if your son is out there and for some reason your influence got him on the team and he's able to play, he's up for scrutiny, he's up for ridicule. And to approach Stephen A. Smith and say,

yo, leave my son out of it, I can't see Stephen A. saying anything bad about Bronnie besides that he's not doing good and showing his average. I really feel that that's unfair. And it shows me that no matter how high you get there, no matter how high or successful you get on the ladder, there's still comments that may bother you and trigger you. So I'm in the middle of that.

I'm dead in the middle because I wouldn't want nobody talking about my son but I do understand what he's saying. Sometimes you need to hear that. Okay, where does everybody else stand in the LeBron versus Stephen A debate? Does everybody know what happened? At the Knicks-Lakers game the other night, LeBron came over to him after the game, looked like he had a heated conversation with him,

and he stepped off. Some of the mouth readers out there said that it looked like that conversation was about Bronnie. Stephen A then went on first take and addressed it. He said he didn't plan on addressing it, but the situation had gone so viral that he has no choice. He woke up to all these texts from executives and coworkers and his peers. I don't know that I agree with that by the way. He wanted to address it. I don't know that you have to reply to something because it's so viral.

And if people are of that belief, I think that should be reexamined. Well, this is what he said. He said he can't repeat the words because they're not suited for FCC airwaves. But he said that he wasn't going to address it, but everything went viral. That wasn't the basketball player confronting me.

That was a parent. That was a father. And I can't sit here and be angry or feel slighted by LeBron James in any way in that regard. He clearly took exception to some of the things that he heard me say and he confronted me about it. And basically said LeBron's agent has his number and can call him if he wants to. I'm on the side of Stephen A in this one.

Me too. Just because my job is to talk about athletes, well sports, and it just so happens that your child is participating, I'm just doing my job. I'm gonna talk about him. If he's doing good, we're gonna talk about him. This is what happens. You used your name, you used your star power

to get him here, and to a lot of people, he's not meeting the, he's not delivering. He's not meeting the standards, yeah. Yeah, he's not meeting the standards. So, yeah, he's gonna, a lot of scrutiny is gonna come with that. LeBron caught scrutiny first year in the league just because of the name King James

and all of the hype around him. When there's hype around something and it doesn't live up to the hype, people won't talk. So now you've used your name to get your son here. Yeah, people were already against that move. So now if your son proves everybody wrong, we don't have this conversation. But unfortunately, he's proven a lot of people right.

So they're going to point out, hey, we told you all about him they're gonna talk about him he's an athlete in the NBA we talk about athletes all right I hate to find myself on the exact opposite side of this I'm one I'm one of the bronze side I'm on the bronze side with this why do you think that Stephen A takes the opportunity to be extra critical because it's LeBron's son? I think all of the people that, let me not say all, I think a lot of the people that are critical of Brawny James, it's A, because of their relationship with his dad, or B, because it's a ratings chase. Ronnie James, like everybody, if we had the card table,

let's see everybody's hand for real. I don't want to hear that he's a player. I criticize players, so it's fair game. That's not true. There's not been another 56 pick in the draft that's been covered this way. I see. That's been critiqued this way. He ain't played enough to be critiqued.

He's critiqued when he's not in the games. I understand what you're saying. And you're doing that because of ratings. The same way the NBA aired for the first time ever the second day of the draft because of ratings. The only people who should be up to evaluate Brawny James game is A, his dad, B, the organization that drafted him. I don't want to hear about LeBron using his strings

to get him drafted because Brawny James, from what we've seen, is doing better than some of the people that were drafted after him, well, all the people that were drafted after him, and some of the people that were drafted after him. Well, all the people that were drafted after him and some of the people that were drafted before him. So there are great basketball minds that are watching this kid and banking on some of the greatest genes in the world and one of the greatest teachers and players ever helping to develop this guy into an official NBA player.

I don't wanna hear, y'all attacking him because of ratings. They're attacking him because of ratings. Steven A. don't fuck with LeBron. He said that in his response. He continued to say, me and him don't necessarily see eye to eye on a few things. Got it.

And it's been that way for some years. So if it's been that way for years. Well, I got it. I know that you do your job as it pertains to me. I'm one of the people that I've been faced with scrutiny long before my first NBA game. I've been probably the most scrutinized player in the history of the sport since early high school when my games was on ESPN 2 and all the rappers was coming out. I invented this thing. That don't have to have nothing to do with my son. LeBron didn't do nothing that any other dad in the world wouldn't do for his kids.

I agree with that part. I agree with that part. 100%. So if I'm doing what I'm supposed to do as a dad, and you would do it too because you're a dad, everybody's a dad. 100%. and you would do it too, because you're a dad, everybody's a dad. It's not for you to come and hide behind the guys of your job to use and manipulate my son's role to just attack certain things when it's not fair. It's not fair. I think it's fair to criticize Bronny if you're doing the same scrutiny to other players

in the G League or whatever developmental situation he's playing under. Which they're not. But he's doing both, right? They're not. In the G League and Laker. He doing whatever his team is asking him to do. Do you not think that, say, okay,

so I see what you're saying. And when Mark and Ish was on that shit months ago, I stand on the side of you shouldn't critique someone's child in a certain way. See, we never saw a dad and his son in the league at the same time. We've seen players' kids, but not with their dad active. See, I think you could critique the kid, but I think that it should be fair. Like, it goes even to what Chuck was saying about ESPN without saying it was about ESPN.

I don't know if you saw that last night. He went on a little rant about how they cover nothing but the Lakers and the Warriors when there's the Cavs and FKC. OKC doing great, they don't ever cover them. Which I agree, that's been my criticism of ESPN for a minute, at least in terms of NFL. Like like we're talking about the Patriots and the Cowboys Who gives a fuck?

They're not really. Hey, so I think that same thing can be applied here. Like if he's not Relevant or playing in a relevant role. It's why we covered this is still business. That's why we're covering it business that's why we're covering it. Nah, stop. Hold on, hold on. In a world where niggas is getting fired left and right, ratings be down in these places, this person losing a show, this person losing a show, we have to do what we got to do to keep these eyes on us to do our jobs. So it is talking about the Lakers, it is talking about the Cowboys for them.

Whoever they're bored, that works for them. You got your son on the Lakers. You are the face You are him in the NBA. Uh-huh. We gonna talk about him. See I Have on that you have been the number one rated morning show for 13 years You are essentially the face of this network if there's anybody that will be allowed to go off a script or change what the script is, it's you. So if you coming into work, dog,

if we come into work 10 pods in a row and I'm beating the topic down to the point that why are we even talking about this? I do expect somebody to say, hey dog. Enough. Enough now. I got you. So when they have their pre-production meetings, we even talking about this I do expect somebody to say hey dog enough enough now I got you so when they have their pre-production meetings because on TV you have meetings and LeBron know what time it is like I know what time it is y'all are talking about the hot topics the things that drive ratings you've

done your research there's analytics so we're gonna give you same thing Charles Barkley said who's the goal LeBron or Jordan they're gonna give you same thing Charles Barkley said who's the goal LeBron or Jordan? They're gonna give you Lakers talk Dallas Cowboys talk no matter what's going on in the sport, right? Some people say that's a little one. Some people say that's a large part of why The sports commentary is dwindling down the drain. I think that's the problem I think that that Stephen a in particular is compelling and talented enough to make great storylines about anything else. He's great. He's one of the, he's one of the goat to this shit.

But he works, he know what works. He is low hanging fruit. Just what you, it's just like what you just said. If you came in here 10 positive talking about something, Drake do something, we get an uptake. Why? Cause they want to see you talk about Drake. It's the same thing.

They want to see Steven A, they want to see Skip Hayd on the brown. They want to see these people who have built their on that. I absolutely love your example. And you know the history of Drake in this podcast. We wouldn't speak about his child. His child is doing songs.

Great example. His child is doing songs. Kanye's child is doing songs. We would not get on air and critique a fucking kid's song that way. Well, that's just totally different. What's the difference? Those are toddlers versus adults.

I think the same rules apply. If you're talking about somebody's kid, you're talking about somebody's kid. But you're only saying that because the kid is with the father, you're seeing them together. Because everybody's somebody's child, if you want to technically speak. We all are somebody's child. So you're saying that they're both playing on the team and you're actually seeing a father

and a son play together so it's different because you're seeing he have to be a father, not only a father, a coach and a mentor at the same time. Yes, if everybody's father was standing next to you, whatever you would say to me, you might not say it if my dad was standing right next to me. No, I would not. I think the parallel in your example would be, is if, we definitely talk about Drake a lot here, but it's when things are in the news, it would be if we came in here, rain, sleet, snails, whatever, and talked about Drake when it's not relevant, or Kendrick, or who I who I feel like, Kanye West, whoever. So when LeBron says to him, leave my son out the shit, so LeBron is aware that, yo, I know you don't fuck with me, I know you go out your way to talk about me, but don't bring my son into it. Basically, got it.

Leave my son out of our beef. I'm on your side now. You are covering my child in a manner to which you and I know why you're doing it got it the last time I That I reached out Because it's been going on for some months The last time that I told rich Paul and them to reach out to you and speak to you about it you went on air and said that that was pussy or that was corny or

Whatever the word was that he used at the time. So now when he does this address and says, LeBron has my number, Rich Paul has my number, Dallas has, fucking Dallas Maverick, Dallas Carter, Maverick Carter has my number. Okay, no, dawg, Stephen A is from Queens. You know on-site rules. You know on-site rules. You know on-site rules. I didn't want to reach out to you.

We tried that a few months ago, it didn't work. You went back on air saying whatever you said that you got a problem with. They haven't been specific about that, so I won't try to pretend, but I've seen enough clips to where it's like, that's harsh for somebody's kid. So if I felt like that watching, he gonna feel like that watching.

It ain't phone time, homie. But when I see you at the game, I'm gonna say something to you. You have to remember, Joe, that you are from the soil. People that's not from the, I'm not talking about Stephen A. You're from the soil, so your principles and morals lie different. You, and I'm not taking anything from A. You're from the source, so your principles and morals lie different.

And I'm not taking anything from you, neither, Freeze. I'm just saying, some people that experience, that give grace when they see a parent with their kid, we come from a different background when it comes to that. A lot of people don't have those same sentiments. It's all fair and game. If your mom is there, if I see somebody and their mom is there and I have an issue, I'm not saying anything. You get in the path, I'm not even going to talk to you.

I'm even going to say hello. I don't play like that because I believe in that and I would want that same grace. Some niggas don't care. Where I come from, this is on page one of the learning handbook. You don't talk about nobody kids. I don't care what's going on. There could be big stories going on. I ain't never, Remy Kid, big stories.

I never came here and said a word. You know how many kids, we know they parents out there, I don't come in here and that's not my bag. And I hope that would be reciprocated. I agree. Like don't talk about mine in a certain way. I,

You did it from more of a media perspective. Yeah, cause I don't believe in talking about nobody kids. I'm with you. With Bronny James in particular, this is still a professional athlete playing in his league. It's not just we talking about you as a G League type of player. But let me ask you, but Jalen Brunson is Rick Brunson's son.

Don't ratings chase off my kid. You get what I'm saying? Steph Curry is Del Curry's son. Do you not take into account? Del Curry ain't really been in the game since the divorce. And when Devin D'Angio said some shit to Jalen Brunson, Rick Brunson stepped up and said, Yo, who the fuck are you talking to?

Watch your mouth. You better walk over there. Like you don't treat somebody kid that way with they dance standing right there. No, again, I'm not mad at Bron's approach. I'm just saying in the who side of my own, it's Stephen A doing his job too. Back to Charles Barkley's point, dog, y'all ain't covered the cat.

We got two teams that's 50 and 10. In markets that- 50 and 11. In no 11. In markets that, no disrespect, in markets that nobody give a fuck about outside of the markets. And that's the- Bro. What do we, we know, I'm talking about from a media standpoint,

but we know LA, New York, we know the A markets. Cleveland and OKC are not A markets. So them talking about them doing this well, how many times we seen the finals and it was when it was Milwaukee versus, who was it, Phoenix or something? And we was like, this is not the finals the league wants. Why?

Because these are not the markets that we play to. We want to see New York, we want to see LA, we want to see Miami, we want to see these major cities. So we're going to talk about them with a major fan base. I'm going to ask him a question, Joe, please. You're opening up a different. Freeze, let to ask him a question, Joe, please. Freeze, let me ask you a question. What's up?

As do you look at a star, a celeb, do you look at them as that person and don't take account them being a parent, them being a father, them being a son, a daughter, do you just take that away? Because you as a parent, you're very, when it comes to your daughter, I don't play. So you should understand that same sentiment. But you're giving the caveat by saying that, yo, but Brawny is out there,

so he is subjected to be ridiculed. And I was on that same side when I listened to Stephen A's excuse. I said, well, okay, but I didn't know, what Joe just explained to me, I didn't know that he pulls things out the air to talk. I didn't know it was an all-gold situation. Yeah, I'm not mad, like, if you got a beef with me,

and you're using my kid now in your beef with me, that's fucked up, I'm not with that at all. I think Brownie's open to criticism, but I think it should be fair in terms of his importance to the team in the sport. I think picking on him because he's bronze kid as opposed to covering him like you would any other 15th man or G League player or 56 pick or whatever

is where it's. I agree. We laugh at, and this is not his child, but I'm just, this is a relative. We laugh at Greek Freaks brother in the league and he's 15th man on the bench, but it's a joke. We don't harp on him like they harp on him. No, no, no, no, no, but his name ain't that.

But I'm just saying, it's a joke making about the 15th man league because of your relation to somebody else. If his last name was something different and he wasn't, nobody would give a fuck. Facts. It's the same thing with Brown, but again, this is a mega star Brown.

We talking about who he, the name alone brings in ratings. So now they're putting a spotlight on your kid. See, but that's kind of the point too. I love all these examples you're using. Oh, you look good like that. Sorry, go ahead, bro. The Nats has caught a lot of jokes. We understand where the jokes came from,

so we don't have to get into that. When he was away from the team, the Bucks slid and lost 19 or 21 or something stupid. I'm freestyling right now, but they were losing. He came back, they started winning. Then the conversation was, oh shit, that guy we were joking on, his impact to the team, what he does to Greek Freak

and how he coaches on the sideline clearly plays a part in their winning. Not a story in sight about it. That's the fucking point. When Brawny go out there and do something that is, well, when the G League, he had that little week where he did like 23, 28, 30. Not a word.

Mom's the word about that. So we playing the ratings game, well we know how bad news works. Where that work in any, that's everything. So now if I'm a dad, I'm stepping to all business, yo. Especially if I'm LeBron. But now I'm the most powerful player in the league still. In damn near.

No, y'all can't just say what y'all want to say about the James family. In damn near American sports. Cool, I'm with you. Now my only thing with that, I don't only want to see you do it to Stephen A. Smith now. If that's your approach, you got to keep that energy with- because it ain't been just him that's been on your son like that. There's others out there who would be a little bit more aggressive if you approach them. Are they at the Laker game? They went at that because like Stephen they said in his response is it's not that he just talks about the games

He covers the games. He's at the game. He's at Lakers verse Knicks on the sideline These other niggas might not be here. That's true Lakers versus Knicks on the sideline. These other niggas might not be here. That's true. Hey, as soon as this fourth quarter whistle finishes. I'm coming over there. I'm walking over there. When the Lakers, I was at the Laker in the game

when it came to New York. That building was packed in a way where, oh, this is different from the other games. It's a lot more media. It's a lot more tourists. It's a lot more people. It's a lot more children. it's a lot more tourists, it's a lot more people, it's a lot more children, it's a lot more reporters, it's a lot of people. It's a lot more celebrities.

Hey, and that's my point about why they not covering OKC and Cleveland. Laker-Nix, both of them doing good, it's a lot of shit here. We don't care about these small market teams like that, bro. I don't want to get into small market. But go ahead, no disrespect, please. But that's the, it's real.

I'm on LeBron's side. Okay. Watch your mouth about my kid. Good shit. All right, what happened? Got some Poland Springs up in this piece. Yo, what's this, yo? Poland Springs is good water.

That's good water, man. Can I get another water, please? Poland Spring ain't bad, man. I don't mind the Poland Springs in this piece. What's this? Pulling springs are good water. That's good water. Should I get another water please? Pulling spring ain't bad man. I don't mind the pulling springs. Straight from Maine yo. That ain't bad right there. You've gotten bougie. For real, for real.

You ain't gotten bougie. That's crazy man. He spoiled us up here. He ain't spoiled us. I bought three cases of aquapana from my studio. Good. So why didn't you bring a couple with you? Oh shit.

I'm sorry. We started talking about bringing our own water. Yeah. Good. So why didn't you bring a couple with you? Oh shit. Oh my god. I'm sorry. We started talking about bringing our own water. Fuck, Ish has them all marked in the fridge. I brought mine from home. No, those are not Ish. That's tap water with Ish's name on it. That's Ian did that.

Ian did that. That's a small prank. Oh, okay, sorry. Don't tell me you drank one of those. I did not, no. Because it had Ish's name on it. It's just tap water, it's not poison. Yeah, tap water's not good. Only up here do they start acting like tap water

is like, oh, I'm gonna die. Tap water's all right. Can we come from drinking tap water, yo? Yeah, you don't drink tap water, nigga. No, but we come from drinking tap water. You know the funny shit? If I had to drink it. Y'all drink ice water?

You put ice cubes in your water? Yeah, that's tap. No, that's tap. A lot of people don't even get a fucking ice cube. He's so bougie. He put, he put, he put. I order a bottle of water. I do a Brita, personally.

And then he put a glass with ice. Maybe, maybe I haven't reached bougie status yet. Yeah, that's, whatever's that, that's where I'm at. You're going to get the train and put the aqua pond out to freeze. No, he's got a Brita. A Brita, yeah, I do a Brita, or whatever the thing is. Brita water filter.

Oh yeah, I don't, okay. I just don't like it at all. It smells different. Oh my God. Yo, y'all, y'all. Why y'all say that old ass part and let me call Andrew Cuomo Mario Cuomo? I don't know none of this. I'm jerking.

You losing it, son. Yo, this entire part, it's that there and let me call Andrew Cuomo Mario Cuomo. I missed it. That's how old I am. We're so indoctrinated with the Cuomo family, it didn't even register really. One Cuomo to another Cuomo. That's his pops.

That's how old I am. I'm talking about these niggas' dads. And Andrew Cuomo's probably older than you. Much. Andrew Cuomo is older than me. But why am I talking about Mario Cuomo, yo? How old were you when he was in office? Y'all don't give a fuck about me.

Y'all just let me get bullshit off my face. It's cool, don't worry about it, man. Don't worry about it. Go to NPR for your political terms. Yeah, yeah. We're not fact checking, name checking, none of that. Mark should have caught you. Yeah, for real We're not fact checking, name checking, none of that. We just talking about- Mark should have caught you.

Yeah, for real. I blame Mark for that one. Go on. I feel like it was towards the end of the pod. They own Mark's ass about that game. They own y'all niggas' ass, man. We talked a little bit about it before you got here. Do you have anything to add?

No, I'm not gonna add nothing. I've been pocket watching, that's all I can say. That's weird. It is. I was sucking. It is. I've been pocket watching, that's all I can say. That's weird. It is. It's not like you. It is. Pocket watching? It is.

You know the text from Ish, it says, yo, I just got in. Do you need me to come? Yo, yeah. That's funny. Dan's recalling. Yeah, baby, good morning. That's funny. Good morning. That's funny. Dan's a callin' him. Yeah, baby, give me a ring. That's funny.

We love a little bit, but I'm I We love you bro niggas always what do you want niggas always gotta ask some shit in that's hurting a little bit Good no, we're supposed to be vulnerable with our friends, right? That's true. That's pro. If you want to stay home, yes. You tell me when you get here, I guess. You can tell me about it when I see you. Yo, fuckin' Black Show, goodbye.

Don't let that nigga come in. He'll come in. Yo, what is wrong with GSP? That's my man. That's my man. All right, what else is there? What else is there? What else is there?

Did y'all hear Jermaine Dupreeh's comments? No. Oh, I didn't. Tell me about it, Freeze. No? Read it to us, Freeze. Let's hear it. All right, let me pull it up real quick.

Y'all talk. Jermaine Dupreeh, I don't know why you tweeted this. All right, I got it. You wanna stir some things up. He says, I'm a little lost. Can somebody tell me what the goal of being an independent artist is today? Because of all the things that people are chasing

is shit major artists do. What's the thing that indie artists do that make it special? He sounds like a dinosaur. Why'd he tweet this? He sounds like a rich person asking about what the poor's do. That too. I don't get it.

He sounds really privileged and really fucking antiquated. He sounds like a dinosaur right asking about what the poor do. That's true. I don't get it. He sounds really privileged and really fucking antiquated. He sounds like a dinosaur right there, not really understanding why. Jermaine Dupree knows better than this. He does. Yeah. What was the goal? Engagement farming.

It had to be engagement farming. I'm going with engagement farming. It might not, even JD, that might have been an intern, assistant, something like that. Let's stir shit up a little bit. Gotta be. Yeah, this one fucked me up. a intern assistant, something like that. Let's stir shit up a little bit gotta be yeah. That's this one. This one fucked me up. Independent artists keep a high percentage of things. Yes, yes, and have to do a lot more work. Yeah, do a lot

more work. They have freedom. Let's just start their major freedom. He knows that though he knows so they just trying to shake the pot. Well, he shook it and and a lot of the Independence jumped on his ass Yeah, they only know beats He wasn't wasn't He wasn't looking to sell to him. Yeah, and he was on sell to him. He might be priced out of that conversation. Hmm

I see what you did there. Nice little call back for me. Okay, okay. You good, you good, girl. You being an independent artist, did you feel a way about this? If you was an independent artist still, would you have felt a way about this? No, I wouldn't have felt a way about it.

Independence operate under a different mindset than the major label niggas, and I don't try to interlap. I don't try to put a two to half crossover. There's different horses for different courses. It's totally different games. Me, when I decided to go independent, I realized that I would do better selling to my 50,000 fans

than trying to fit into this system where much too much was expected. Do you feel like TechNine made it look good, Joe? Back then, one of the- No, TechNine made it look good. There's feel like Tech N9ne made it look good, Joe? Because back then, No, Tech N9ne made it look good. There's a lot of independence that make it look good. A lot of people talked about, they highlighted him. Like when it came to being independent.

Because he was more, he wasn't just an independent artist. Was, I'm saying wasn't, like he's not selective. He is. Yeah, shout out to Tech. Shout out to Tech N9ne. Tech was a one-stop shop, is a one-stop shop. You talk about, I'm doing my own merch, I'm routing my own tours, I'm doing my own music, I do it all, it's all in-house.

He's an anomaly to a lot of, that's not just your typical independent act right there. So that's why he's highlighted. And he still managed to sell. Sold and sells records. And a rap a lot of you niggas under the table. Yeah, an amazing rapper. And his live show was putting niggas to bed.

Really? Yeah. And was going to do sellout tours anywhere that he went. And was going to stay on the road for 300 days out of 300, maybe 300, maybe more than that, out of 365 days and was gonna have his fucking Maybach traveling on the back of all of these merch trucks because we gotta bring trucks for all of this merch we gonna sell, like we gonna make eight figures

moving around out here as an independent act. Shout out to tech, shout out to Strange Music, shout out to the whole gang over there. So, yeah, he did that. And he's doing that. Yeah, but I think it's just different, I think for like a pop artist, if you want to be the next Drake or Michael Jackson or Britney Spears or Dua Lipa, whoever,

the major label system makes sense. I'm saying he said pop. Yeah, a pop artist. The major label system makes sense. A pop artist, a major label system, probably makes sense for it, because you're not going to get that kind of marketing exposure. You don't have all the relationships with MTV, not that they matter anymore, but whatever, fill in the blank, outlet.

Playlisting and all of that shit. All of that shit. Like you need that shit for SNL, you know what I mean? All the late night shows, you need that shit. What I see start to happen is, especially in rap, it's a lot of the newer rappers, they don't want that. Right.

They realize, hey, what I have to give up to get all of that ain't really worth it. I agree. I can make a really great living over here. Every musician and artist doesn't necessarily want to be the most famous person in the world. That's not necessarily overlap. Some people are like, if I get a little famous, that's cool, but I would like to make a living

making music or art or whatever, and I don't want to be part of that rap race. At one point that confused me, that mindset. I want to make music, I want people to hear it, but I don't want to be famous. Then you're making music at a high quality level and distributing it out there in order to become, that's going to lead you to be famous.

So those type of- Your goals can change along the way though, due to exposure. Okay, true. And this could be your passion. At one point I didn't agree with that. People say they're anti-social, like some of the artists anti-social. There's a lot of them. Yeah this could be your passion. I'll just say at one point I didn't agree with that. People say they're anti-social, like some of the artists anti-social.

There's a lot of them out there. Yeah, there's a lot. They are so passionate about their art and their craft that they still want to do that. They would prefer to just be, you don't have to see me like, I don't want to talk to you niggas. You want to talk to me, go listen to my album. You want my thoughts, go listen to my project. There's my thoughts. And there's a lot of them out there that just don't want to deal with folks. And people are weird. I don't want to deal with people anyway. I went through it. I mean, I did it. So. All right. Yeah, this is

actually you. When they talk about you, when they talk about the trouble that you gave, how stubborn you were, and stuff like you didn't want to do nothing when Nady told me she'd be fighting. Yeah, but that story is always told about me, how I was just rebellious and yada yada yada early in my career. But when I first got in the game, that story's never told. I was just young, wet behind the ears,

willing to do anything that I needed to do to thrive and sell, not a question asked. So what's behind the ears a little? Don't want to touch it. So do you feel like, so do you feel like, you might have had a little wipe behind your ear. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. A little wet.

A little wet, for later, Jersey City? Oh, that's what you're saying. Do you feel like, so when you initially there, you meet niggas and then you start to realize. So when you initially there, and again, this is I'm talking about 25 years ago at this point. So we probably might maybe aged out. But so if I'm doing everything that's asked of me,

which is they're putting you in places to be famous. Yes. You're not famous yet, but they're putting you in places to be famous. Oh shit. So I go to Nordstrom's yesterday. I go to Nordstrom's yesterday. It turns out one of the guys,

the older gentleman that works in Nordstrom's used to work at Def Jam. So every time he'd catch me in there, and I don't be in Nordstrom's a lot, but when he'd catch me in there, he always got some story for me. So yesterday I'm buying some drawers. Let me get some drawers up in this bitch He sees me. He says yo funny story. I

Was just thinking the other day about how when I used to work was working radio 25 years ago and Benny pew was at Def Jam and Def Jam was sending all these records out so they sent me a Rihanna record and they sent me a Joe Budden record so we was about to get on the Rihanna record but Benny Pugh called and he was like yeah yeah yeah that Rihanna shit ah ah put it to the side we don't know about that that Joe Budden we need you on that that boy is is a star. I was like, oh, shout out to Benny Pugh. I never knew that. But that's what it took to kind of be famous when you

wasn't famous. So I'm not famous. So they're sending me places. You don't want to be there. And then you get famous. And now there's a crowd everywhere you go. You need to be handled a certain way when you go. Because you famous, you got to pop handled a certain way when you go. Because you famous, you gotta pop up at

everywhere where famous people be at. It's just, I learned early on, I want nothing to do with the fame part of this. That wasn't my bad. That's not what I signed up for. I read that different when you first started talking. I thought that initially when you said it, that yo, I was willing to do whatever I needed to do,

and then I started to realize that things wasn't so favorable in my favor. Like people might have, I'm not saying our niggas, but people might have been taking advantage of me, people might have been doing stuff or putting me in positions that made me uncomfortable or make me realize that they weren't in it for me. And I can see that changing somebody's attitude

towards being famous. Like yo, this is too much of a headache. Niggas not even giving me what I really need or what I'm owed. You know, the work that I'm putting in, it's not... I remember with niggas, and shout out, niggas may get mad at me, but I remember when you first came out,

niggas was driving more of an expensive car than you was. Yeah, but I mean that's part of the game. It is, but I didn't like that shit. But see that's the other thing too. That's all part of the game. Me thinking that now, I hear you, but I don't like that shit. I don't, I feel like the artist,

I don't like that, I don't get it. The nigga that found the talent is probably gonna make more than the talent for showing you a rookie deal. Yeah. Nah, I don't like that. It should be distributed evenly. That's just what it is.

And back, look, back to JD's tweet. That's the other reason why a lot of niggas are wanting to choose independence today. They know these stories. Right. You know what I'm saying? I've heard what happened. Like Joe said, I was wet behind the ears.

I did whatever they wanted me to do. And you sign a deal that really ain't in your favor. You don't find that shit out until later on. How long did you find out that your deal was bad? Like when did you find out from when you signed it that oh shit, I'm getting fucked? If I signed in 01, shit was bad by 05. So you four years later when you said,

oh shit, I'm fucked up in this deal. But I ain't even talking about the bad deal part of it. I'm talking about once you sign it and you down to play the game, some of the positions that you'll be in. And I wasn't with it. Like they was telling me to go to clubs, stand on tables, bring 70 niggas. The label is how I got some of my street drama

back in the day. Forcing me to go be with 50 niggas everywhere you go. Why? Why? Now I gotta go beef with these niggas. Yo, go, let's niggas everywhere you go. Why? Why? Now I gotta go beef with these niggas. Yo, go, let's have a fake relationship with you and, who did I say? Neil Long.

Optics. Yo, how do you want me to tell my girlfriend that I'm doing a fake relationship with Neil? I don't wanna do none of this theatric shit that you want. The other thing too is that the way the music business is now, labels aren't even signing

you until you're successful independently. Oh yeah. And now I'm hot and doing this already, I built this infrastructure, I built this fan base, I'm making money, why am I even going over here? I was going to say that. Because they're tricky now. Even if you do want the major label deal, you should go get hot. You should go act like an independent.

Because the trick now is they tell you there's a ceiling as an independent. And there may be, but. But what they don't tell you is you could live fine. Right, it might be a nice ceiling. It's a really nice ceiling. Real tall ceiling. They don't make you think like, yo, you're going to hit this ceiling,

you can never make more, and you need us to get to the next level. I don't got to go to that level. Right, I might be cool with this. I'm good right here. Yeah. And I own all my shit, so I could do some new technology come out later on

I can go make a deal over here that changed my entire generation My entire lineage is life. Well, I don't think anyone does it for the art anymore though. That's not true No, that's not true. That's not true. Well, I'm not hearing it Douchy great example of somebody who does it for the art and produces pretty most independent artists are doing it for the art Yeah, like Okay, a lot of them. A majority. Kendrick Hall's side of that battle was preaching the art.

The art side. There are people that do it for the art. But then look what it turned into. While doing it for the art, look what it turned into. Well, if he didn't take it there. I think it remained pretty artistic all the way through. For him, for him. But then look what it, the waters can get muddy.

Sure. You know what I mean? And it can sort of make the art look different. Art don't necessarily got to be rosy. True, true. Yeah, listen, there's six million ways to die. Choose one. Like everybody's story is not gonna be the same, everybody's path not gonna be the same.

Yeah. What's for you ain't gonna be for me. There's a whole bunch of different ways to do this. You go sit by yourself or with your team and figure out the best way for you, what aligns with you, what won't feel out of pocket for you, what won't have you losing sleep at night, What won't have you losing sleep at night?

What won't have you getting fucked? What are you comfortable with? Yeah, you hang out. Who are you? First question, find out who you are. What are you? What are you cool with? What are you comfortable with? Go from there.

This may be, I'll ask you later. Don't ask me shit later. Yeah. I don't want to ask you anything too personal, because I hear how you talk about things when you, okay, did the industry, were you, did you always suffer from depression when you were younger? Or did the industry be, okay,

all right, so you answered my question. Yes. I was going to say, did the industry lead you to depression? No, no, no, no, no, I came in with mine. You came in with depression? Strapped up. Got it, okay. Fully loaded clips of depression. It can exacerbate it, but usually it's there.

It wasn't cool to be depressed. Yeah. And I don't think. It wasn't trendy. I don't think, yeah. It wasn't trendy. There wasn't audiences for that. And the label didn't know how to handle kids

going through that. Got it. But. You were just too early. And they maybe made it worse. You were just too early. But you came in with depression. Oh yeah, I came in with mine, buddy. You was definitely too early.

Strap up. Fully loaded. I'm strapped in. My final thought on this too is the way these labels are shrinking now, it's a scarier proposition to be there now than it's ever been. Facts. That's true.

They're firing everybody, that means you're getting less of the services that he's talking about in the tweet You might get shelved completely. Yeah, and then your hands are bound and you can't put shit out unless the label says so true Yeah Nasty And today is to a point like parks with you saying the labels might have to prove to the young, hot, up-and-coming artists what they can do. Right. What can you do for me? Yeah, it's clear that he didn't hear Chappell Rhone's speech

when she won the Grammy. Like, she laid it out as a young artist, you know, being shelved at a major and then dropped during pandemic. Like, she laid it out. Mm-hmm. Yeah out. Yeah everybody's not cool with getting the smallest fraction of a penny. Right. That's really it. Which is less than a penny because that's what a stream is. The smallest fraction of a fraction of a penny. Yeah a fraction of a penny. Yeah exactly. Yeah

everybody don't sign up for that math. Nope. 15% of.00001 cents per stream. I got it, I got it. This is next. At least let me get my.001. Can't even go sell out the trunk no more, god damn it. Some niggas can. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some niggas sell out the trunk now.

A lot of people sell a lot of vinyls and CDs and merch, so they do that shit out the trunk still. Yeah, it's tough. One of them niggas caught me slipping all day. I bought it. Yeah? I bought it. Was it The Pressure?

Was it The Pressure? Just to be honest, I remember where you was. I was there at one point. I got it. I'm never listening to this, but I ain't gonna buy it. What'd you pay, five? Was it a CD? It was a CD?

It was like a little thumb drive or some shit? No actually, actually the store I was just talking about, it was a sweatsuit. Oh okay. Okay. But then as I was talking, I remembered that I did buy the CD of my man and Issei. The other day he was like, yo I got an album that just came out, it's one of the best albums ever and if you listen to it I promise you'll want to talk about it. I was like, alright what's your name man? I'll get it, I'll buy it.

And I bought it. I didn't hear it yet, so I can't comment on it, I promise you want to talk about it. What's your name, man? I'll get it, I'll buy it, and I bought it. I didn't hear it yet, so I can't comment on it, but yeah, I bought it. If they catch me in a good mood, I'll get 9.99. Yeah, I'll still buy it. Or 49.99 for the sweats, whatever it was. But if you just catch me on moving, yeah, no, I'm moving, dog. Sorry, buddy. Sorry, buddy, maybe next time.

I buy a lot of shit at shows. You know, the opener act, they fire. I buy your CD, my buy a t-shirt. I'm gonna go get a shirt for sure. I'm definitely getting merch, and if you got your disc out there, I'm gonna cop them. Being up here made me act like that. I was trying to get as much free shit as I can, nigga.

You want to give me shit? Y'all give it to me, salute. And then being up here with y'all niggas, watch how y'all support, it kind of changed my view. Like when I went to these divisions, you know, let me buy some shit. And I'm like, damn, this y'all price, I still purchased, but I still had complaints.

If you give me free shit, I'm not trying to buy shit. No, not really, like it depends on your promotion and how supportive you are. Some niggas be having the sob story, yo, you my inspiration, this is all I got. I got a two year old at home and four of a baby mother. It's like nigga, what? Nigga, story be so compelling. Nigga, sweating, hands is sweaty.

That's when I get out my extra stone face. That don't work on me. Stone face them down. They got a couple of videos of you in the mall stone facing niggas. That's tough when someone stop stories you and then the shit be trash. Ass.

Like y'all trying to really come up and it's like, oh I'll support it, I'll support it. And you go, you're like. Joe stone faced a nigga at the mall and the nigga used the footage to put it out. He trying to talk to Joe about something. Joe had the long coat. Joe turned around and said,

you work? Yeah, Joe got his headphones in. I'm pulling out all the tricks to try and get you to not talk to me, buddy. Yeah, that doesn't work. It don't. It don't. It don't.

And I'll power walk by you now. I know my body don't look like it, but. Yeah, I hit him with a little power walk now. Oh shit, all right, what else is important? All right, we got brand new Tory Lane, brand new Tory Lane. This is. Peterson. Peterson, the follow up to Dave Starr, so says he. Okay.

Recorded from jail. Got him on the cover with biceps and shit. He's been doing his jail workout, his calisthenics, he's looking good. From what I've heard, I liked it. I had the privilege of hearing some of it early. I haven't gone through this entire album, but from I've heard I like it a lot. Now y'all know R&B Tory is my bag. There's a little bit of that on here but this is predominantly rap. Yes. But I'm a Tory fan so good to hear him. He's been one of the ones to do the

jail album in a palatable way for me. Yes. I know a lot of people bring up Shine. I wasn't on that wagon when y'all was pushing it. That was rough. Yeah, yeah it was. Max had some rough ones, but then they got better. But Torey's got some good shit on here. The production, how he is, combining records, sounds from one record, start the next record.

Yeah. I miss this guy, man.

Sounds alright. I do. I do. I know the blogs is tearing him up for making himself sound like, what did they say, Nelson Mandela on the album? They kept it. Why do they say that? Because he ain't on the album making himself sound like a fucking martyr or a fucking

Political prisoner or something Justice, Disciple, all of this shit They like your dog I can't say it I can't say what they saying If you go there I'ma go to You taking it further? No, yeah

I'm not taking it there so you ain't gotta worry about that Just know I read what they was saying online No, you can't take it there, you're taking it further? I'm not taking it there, so you ain't got to worry about that. You know why I want to take it. Just know I read what they were saying online. No, you can't take it there, please. Please don't take it there. That's hilarious, though. Only me and you can know it. But isn't it funny, Freeze? It is funny, though.

It's very funny. Just don't. I need the pillow right here when he's starting. Because our lives are being dangerous. Exactly. A lot of them. When he's starting pulling the wool out. We never put that episode out?

No. It's just for us to watch, like internally? It shouldn't have been said on, it shouldn't have been said. Let me get a hand. We watch that now only. Let me get it, no. You'll never get it.

You'll never get it. Anyway, Jory's shit is fire from what I've heard. Yes it is, yes. When I hear it in full, I'll do a deeper dive, but from what I hear, smoked it, smoked it. He on there talking, man. He's talking his shit on there. I don't care about the song where he's talking about,

hey, they robbed me, Rock Nation and the lawyer and this. That's hard, but I'm over to him and Max. I'm done with that. Same. I'm done with that. Yeah, shine too much light on it. Yeah, I'm cool. We got it.

At this point, it's time for both parties to just deliver the music. Do what? That's easier said than done when we're the ones sitting up. If I'm him, I'm sitting up, and I believe that, I'm than done when we ain't the ones sitting up. If I'm him, I'm sitting up and I believe that, I'm gonna tell y'all every chance I get. Understood. He's still maintaining his innocence, be clear.

That's cool. Still appealing and all of that, like yeah, I'm gonna keep doing it. We wanna hear the slaps, dog. We wanna hear the slaps. We don't need to hear, you know what I mean? And you know, I now got when you said that Iman had to fight that guy.

My wife came to me and said, you know, call Tiana. Yeah, Tiana fucking Tiana fucking Taylor and Mustafa Mufasa Aaron P.M. and P.M. That's Mufasa. Stop. What's your DM knew I'm saying? Shut up. Hey, Ari. I did not DM him. Hey, Pia. Stop madness.

No, I fucking did not. Tell him, Mel, tell him. You don't initiate DM combo. Thank you. That's not true. Shit. You acknowledge, yeah, that shit that you did, man. Stop.

I don't remember. It's okay. Mel don't DM first. I feel like I know. Not now, I think she got the shout out, but she did before. That shout out just put her on okay. Mel don't DM first. I don't, I feel like I don't. Not now, after she got the shout out, but she did before. That shout out just put her on a... She didn't do it.

That shout out said to the Captain Planet, nigga, she changed from Rita, from the Captain Planet. She DM first there too. Hey, I... Hey. Okay, we were talking about Zyanna and Fossa. Hey, but yeah, I woke up to so many texts.

You know, let me just say this, man. Man, please, let me get it off. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Did you mean to say that in that song? I love you. But do you know how crazy it is? I woke up to so many texts. Let me just say this, man. Please, let me get it off. Go ahead, go ahead. Did you mean to say that in that song? I love you. But do you know how crazy it is? Listen to me, I do bullshit, and we don't dogpile on you.

Yes, we do. You know how crazy it is, man, to say, yo, I don't follow that nigga, I'm good, loyal to the soil. And as soon as you exit. Those are my words? Loyal to the soil is being facetious. But you said I don't follow, I'm good, I'm a team rider. When you went past that curtain.

Pierce just sold, too. You be bringing that shit up. That shit penetrated your home. When she went through that curtain, Joe, male turned to a home. Male to grown woman, she can do what he wants. I'm down with that. Don't police her behavior outside of work. We was just talking about that with the police

detective girl. Can y'all police males behavior outside of work? They just know. That's true. She can follow who she wants. And she's like she said she followed back. She didn't follow. And in addition to that, like a couple of y'all up here

like talk to the ops. Ooh. That's true. Y'all talk to the motherfucking ops and have been. And when you say couple. And I don't say nothing. I don't say don't talk to. And when you say couple. And I don't say nothing. I don't say don't talk to. And when you say couple though, it's you.

It's you. It's deceit. It's you. Oh shit. No, you a rat. It's deceit. It's deceit. We do it.

Just so you know, when she says couple, it's you. Maybe I should say several. Oh. You got me, man. You know what? I'm going to fall back. Several is more than two. I know.

It's three. Oh, it's three that talk to the ops. Three people talk to the ops? I talk to three ops because three ops is a lot. Then I need to get fired. I'm cool with three ops. I'm just doing shit on purpose. I don't believe that.

There ain't three people up here that talk to ops. Okay. That is natural. Listen, Mufasa and Tiana, that is where we're at. Your callback we lit. Don't lie on several. Don't lie on the several. Fuck out of here.

Name the ops. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Who's talking about? This is a conversation that keeps being brought up to me, so I am now in turn responding and transdedic. Wait, people have to know that they're your ops. There you go, good, I was about to say that.

We gotta know that you got ops. Like up here. I know of one op she got. Me too. No, I know two ops she got. People gotta be clear of your op list before they know that they kicking it with your ops. What's that sketch slogan?

It's the S. Shit. It's the S. That's that sketching shit. You several. You several. I ain't talking to several. You several. I know.

I don't talk to a lady. Anyways. That's your bag. That nigga's an op galore. Not me. She talking about me? I ain't on that list. She ain't talking about me. Joe, you talk nigga's an op galore, not me. She talking about me? I ain't on that list. She ain't talking about me.

Joe, you talk to ops. She ain't talking about me. No? She's not talking about me. You not talking about who? I don't know if she's not talking about me. I don't talk to no male ops. I barely talk to humans.

Are there three people in this building currently? No. Two of us all? Moving right along to Tiana and Mufasa. Sure. So now Tiana Taylor. Not me, nigga. No, not you.

I got it, man. I caught up. I caught up. I did the science. I missed it. Anyway, Tiana Taylor soft launched her relationship with Aaron Pierre, or at least that's what the internet thinks.

So I came in and wrote on the board that Amon Schumpert got a slot in Aaron Pierre. And I kinda got mad at you. And Flip got mad at me, cause yo, that's my on the board that Amon Shumpert got a slob and I kind of got mad at you. And Flip got mad at me because yo that's my man but that's my man too. And you know prideful men take the angle that you don't care what your child, what your kid's mother is doing out there. I typically agree with that. Let me say however however. Yeah, I just think that there are asterisks and caveats. And I love Tiana. Don't soft launch your next relationship like that.

Don't be lit. At Beyonce and Jay's gold party. Just don't be lit. That was a photo shoot. That shit was clean. That was clean. You can see the niggas clean. That's what I'm saying.

That was a hard launch. I didn't like it. But like Mel told me, I gotta defend. She said defend Tiana one time. You know what I'm saying. That was a hard launch. I didn't like it. But like Mel told me, I got to defend Tiana one time. You know what I mean? And I'm proud. Friend of the show, that's our girl. I love her, I text her, you. Dick riding, click riding.

Of course I did. She left me all red. Hey, big dog. I don't talk to you no more. I would be. Mel, you was Harlem Tiana's friend. You ain't knew Tiana? Yeah. Tiana starring in a movie with Leonardo, you was Harlem Tiana's friend New Tiana Starring in a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio Tiana. I heard no no I was aware that I was there room

She's engaged to Spider-Man. Yeah, Spider-Man, yeah. While we're on these messy topics, I just want to go through a quick little rant. I've changed my thinking on that little young girl that keep talking about future every other day. I think that this is a rollout. You see, he got an album coming.

I know he got an album coming, I don't know why I can't talk today. I know he got an album coming, but Future's cooler than this. Future would not pick the young girl that's gonna run her mouth, spread all the business, and then when she made the phone call and he answered on the first ring, it's like, I don't believe he's moving like that

in real life, we done seen Future move around in real life too long for me to believe he got caught up like that. I don't believe it, I think that that's roll out and they getting ready for an album and it just is shit to make us say, oh my God, Toxic Future coming back. yeah, no, I'm not rolling with it. I don't believe it.

I don't believe none of it. But the future gotta do that? Especially after the year he just had last year. Sometimes you do when you gotta do it. I don't think he has to do anything. That's the only reason why I didn't call this rollout. Like after the year he had. How do we know the future is not matured

past the music that we're used to hearing from him? We don't know. No. No why we don't know? Because you get to keep doing shit like this. Yeah, yeah. We just got three albums last year and it... Yeah, but when I heard that first album,

the first one was the rap one, right? I heard that shit. I was like, yeah, I ain't gonna lie, man. Future might be maturing. Then he came out with an R&B album. I was like, oh, shoot, that's a shit. I just don't know how mature future looks. I don't believe that little story

is all I'm saying, number one. Number two, I know both Yandy M and DC, so I don't want to talk about it. But boy have I been laughing at this Yandy clip forever. So Yandy got a clip on Love and Hip Hop with some woman is coming up there and showing her, yo, my niece, niece, my niece, yo, I was DMing my niece.

I don't talk about this because I know both of them, but this is just too funny. Yo, I was DMing my niece, she look, look, look, and she show Yandy the DMs and Yandy say, girl, that's me. That's me sending those DMs. That's how you do. Yeah, she lying, but you hold it down in person.

Get behind closed doors and we deal with that. They say, yeah, D-com and D-Send. 360. Yeah. That's a nigga trying to get out. For years. That was funny though. Yo, for years.

That was funny, I'm sorry. I'm not talking about it, cause I love both of them. But sometimes you gotta see shit and be like, okay. That's the same shit they was saying about Rashida and Kirk, like they've been dying to leave. She's gonna let them go. Oh my Lord, yo.

I gotta watch that, I gotta get back into that. No, that's funny. I have to get back into that. Girl, that's me that sent them to you. I like that. I don't. Nah, that's holding it down in person. We deal with this behind closed doors.

True. That was me, that was me. Dedic. That was me. Nah, that's you making, but now you making... Okay, but when it is you, if that's you. I don't think it was her. I think her saying that is, you not getting that rise out of me. That was me. Ah, what you thought you had, it ain't work. Now I'm gonna go home and me and him boy have a talk

Yeah, I do like a girl I love y'all. Hey, but part of me. Yeah, they better you love a loving hip hop gangster for so long, I don't even know if that's real, I don't know if they're playing around. I don't know, but I just know that clip was funny. Then the internet found Denise, the supposed niece. And he was like, oh, nah, he damned that girl. Hey, niece wasn't half bad now. Oh.

Oh. Oh. Oh. Yo. Yeah. Shout out to my baby. At least she don't hit them bitches from the Finster. Yeah.

Okay, so she is borrowing money from everybody They know his parents her parents

Small town in Virginia all of their friends in the town. She hid no white friends up for 250 250 K 500 grand, 600 grand. What the fuck, own family? Yes, and everybody trust her, so they test her money. Anyway, the husband caught wind of it or started asking questions. So she say to herself, I'm gonna kill him.

So she go get some, she borrow insulin from the neighbor. Because the neighbor got a kid who was diabetic. Of course. OK. So she borrowed insulin from the neighbor. Inject the husband with insulin. He passed out and is laying on the couch for like eight hours. She's refusing to bring him to the hospital, having his family and friends come visit him,

see him on the thing and say, no, don't take him to the hospital. Jerry hated hospitals. Don't bring him to the hospital. Having his family and friends come visit him, see him on the thing and say, no, don't take him to the hospital. Jerry hated hospitals, don't bring him. Finally somebody bring him to the hospital, they do an investigation, they find the insulin in the fucking, in her fridge. And then she goes, she goes to court, she go to jail for 11 years for the scam,

I mean, for the scam shit. And then they brought her back for the murder. And even though it was all circumstantial evidence they found ass guilty of murdering her husband and he died from the end he was 38 years old he was mad healthy he was like an athlete the bodybuilder I'm sitting there like your white people I watched 90 minutes of the damn day line with the, one of them, and I'm like, I don't think they're going to explain to me the motive here. Life insurance?

She keeps asking people for money, so I would figure that- She was getting a lot of money. She was getting a lot of money. What the fuck was she doing with the money though? Was it like lifestyle upkeep or something? Well, it was a pyramid scheme, so she was- Oh, okay. So she's taking from investors and paying back some people. She said that they were doing government contracts and if you're down with this, she was a pyramid scheme, so she was gonna... So she's taking from investors and paying back. Some people, she said that they were doing

government contracts and if you're down with this, she had a whole big spirit going. But did everybody notice that her lifestyle kind of upgraded, like new cars? Well, no, because they took this family to be well off already. Oh, got it, got it. So she's doing it to keep up appearances, got it.

I don't know why she was doing it, but don't kill your husband since high school. Hey man, you about to blow the scam up. I just be amazed by white people scams. White people scams come with like audacity. Like how they got America. Yes. You know how much audacity you gotta have to say,

Yo, y'all ever been in a fight with your girl and came to the realization, yo, I think that she could kill me. Your niggas are sick. Yeah, so I started looking at your bitch different.

Yo, you would kill me, wouldn't you? You would, tell the truth. Tell the truth. All of you are nuts. Sometimes it happens. Even if you didn't think that, you didn't go right to sleep. No.

This shit. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. You're right, you're right. And then you go in there. Or like that shit flips on my,

oh nah, this is your house, nah, you right. Yeah. That's a lurch one. I forgot where I was. I forgot where I was. But you got it. Then you look like, oh shit, she's been watching Snapped. Yeah.

Oh. Alright, my last TV review. So I watch a show called Accused that's really good. And apparently they came back for season 2 and I didn't know that that happened. So I was catching up on it.

Did you see the one with Nick Cannon? No. Okay. It's a good episode. Is that in season two? I think so, yeah. No, I watched the one where they bit off of the movie that we talked about

with the sexy robot. The sex robot. Okay, yeah, subservient. Yeah, so this one is with two black people. Oh, I used that one. So the wife is working, she's a professional, she don't have time to fuck him. He's asking for working, she's a professional, she don't have time to fuck him. He's asking for pussy, she's like no, she gets him an intimacy companion.

Lie, right there. And at first he's offended because I asked you for some pussy. I didn't ask you to give me a robot. But he gets the robot, the robot is fine. They start fucking, the robot is good at it. She get jealous of the robot. Anyway, not to spoil her, she ends up killing the husband because he fell in love with the robot. The robot that she bought him. And then when she went to court,

they changed the footage to make it look like the robot killed the husband and she got off. Ooh. Ooh. It's fire there. It's horrible. But black man didn't do nothing and he's dead. Well we know that's all bullshit anyway.

I spotted mad lies just from you telling the story. It's not gonna go that way. How would it go? She's not buying nothing for you to fuck. Okay. So it stops right there. And if he asking for some pussy and she not giving him some.

He going outside? He gonna get some pussy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Well and, like. Not me. If we lacking in the bedroom, we might be lacking in some other places too.

So it's not just a sex robot. Like it's an intimacy companion. So he's falling in love with the thing. The thing is designed to know him. Like she know all his information. She start playing the piano. He's a pianist. Like it was wild.

But anyway, it's not an ad. Check it out, Accused. I think that's the last episode. And the black guy we know him from somewhere. I just don't remember his name because I'm not male with the names. All right. And the RIPs, we also want to say RIP to DJ Funk.
