I can't even lie. So you're not real good. Yeah, I celebrated my dad's 70th birthday yesterday! Yes sir. Happy birthday, Pop 70. Good to know how old your parents are. Thought he was a couple years older. I don't know. Once the cane comes out, nigga, I put you at 75 minimum. Uh, went an Italian restaurant. Okay.

I can't eat Italian anymore. It's over. Was it a bougie Italian or kind of like regular Italian? No, it was real good Italian food right there in Harlem, but I can't do it anymore. Uh, yeah? I can't. That rigatoni had me hugging a smart toilet all night long. Oh, no. Throwing up mad shit. Oh, it was bad.

It was bad. I'm just now gathering myself, getting myself together, so happy to be here with you brothers. But chunky rigatoni with the pork Italian sausages. That's what it is. I told you. I knew you. Leave that oink along. And I ordered some branzino.

You're going to be on the toilet, nigga. And on God, the smart toilet is the absolute worst toilet. I think I said that up here.

That is the worst toilet to throw up in. Toilets don't need to be. This shit keep coming down. Yeah. You ain't on smart toilet parks? I don't own a smart toilet. I don't have smart or anything. Except for like phones.

Smart toys are the shit, except for when you need the Earl or you get the bubble guts. You got smart toilets still? I use one upstairs. I don't use one downstairs. The toilet I use isn't because I'm basic, but I keep one upstairs. It's good for like cleansing and...

You know about that? I don't sleep in the car. This was just talking about that, though. I know we ain't going to start with that, but you're saying the, that. But you're saying the guy got caught with his wife because he used to be sleeping in the car before he come in the house. Like I said, that's how he decompress.

We need our decompressing moments. We do? We do. And I didn't realize how important that was. So y'all heard that and didn't think that he's . No. Wait, for going outside and sitting in the car for a little bit. Like getting to the house and sitting there.

He said the guy is sleeping in his car. No, no, no, no. He pulled up. He sits in the car. He's sleeping in his car. No, I was talking about to sleep in a car. Yeah, not hell, no. I used to sleep in the car a lot.

It don't matter. I don't matter. I'm no matter. It ain't lack of space. It ain't like a space. It's just like. If I had a bat cave, nigga that I'd go under a legate. Guess what?

Nobody. Bats. What can you talk about it? Stupid ass. You're like crazy, digger. All right. There's a right down there that. The man cave's important.

I'm for it. All right? Yeah. I can't relate. How do you do? I don't know nothing. I'm listening to my married brothers, and that's the end audience.

I'm not bringing up marriage no more forever now. For ever now on the spot. It's over. So please, we have experts here. Please, if you have questions, direct the questions, toward these brothers. That's fair.

Is something happen to make you change course? It seems like such an abrupt shift from the previous episode. A quick shift. A hard pivot. Yeah, hard pivot. He's fucking Kevin McCall over here. What the fuck you did last time?

Huh? He said some bullshit? I got to watch it. Tell me what he said. No, nothing. Because you know what he tried? He tried to cater to the niggins. So, you know what I'm saying?

That's what he's doing now? He says some bullshit and now he tried to clean it up? No, I don't think that's it. That doesn't seem like it. No, that's not. You get a mop out for another reason. I'm putting cases on all you niggas. Niggas nodding the gray.

I see all y'all, niggins. Are you good yet? I'm great, Flick. I'm awesome. I'm wonderful. You got a big girl cast and the family and listen to it. It was just rigatoney. I'm getting back together.

What other keys can you brothers help the men out? out there with adapting and getting ready for such an adjustment. Just get your own space, brothers, that's all. Yeah, just carve your own space.

New jerseys only. That's a fact. Stop playing. Get the round of applause, man. God, damn. That's right. Round of applause. That's right.

It is a celebratory day up here at the J.B.P. That was beautiful. Michael B. Jordan. I got his speech queued up in a hot second, but I will say one of my favorite things about the Oscars was not watching them. You're watching? I didn't watch the Oscars. At all. I was at the Knit game, I told y'all.

You didn't really miss both. That Sunday game was 8 o'clock against the Warriors. The Oscars were on, so I missed the whole Oscars. My mom was giving me real-time updates, but I watched it afterward. I just skipped all the white people, except for the people that

worked on Frankenstein. And sinners. Okay. Well, and sinners. Well, I said white people. Yeah, it was white. Oh, no. Cinnis is black shit. Senators is black shit.

I fast forwarded through all of that fucking hemlet. All that shit. If it wasn't Frankenstein sinners, I had to watch the one battle after another because Tiana's did. That's more black people's shit. But other than that, oh, and Shorter from weapons,

I do think that she deserved it. But I passed forward it through it. Well, I stopped it when the Chinese with some of the other people was up there too. The K-pop people? K-pop did. Demon Hunter. If you have any kids around it, that came on?

Don't do it. Dude, that shit is... Well, I'm not dissing. I already got rid of. What's them niggas names I got rid of? BTS. Ended dumb. Yeah, but they're adults now.

Like those little stranger things kids. It ain't the same. It ain't the same now. Ended dumb. But anyway, yeah, it was great to fast forward and just have your pick of what you wanted to watch. It's the most dull of all the awards ceremonies, I would say. I missed the first hour because I thought this shit started at eight.

I'm like, damn, this shit started seven. I appreciate it though They used to do it at 8 and then you'd be running so late You'd be sleepy watching the end of them And don't nobody care enough to watch the whole thing Especially once they start hitting all the documentaries And all the shit that we don't give a fuck about Exactly

Best short The overseas indie Best short documentary animated It's like alright man I went out So I went back and fast forward through it too And I didn't find much interesting I just kept waiting to see where centers was going to go

And how it was going to do and early on a lot of people thought it's going to be a color purple moment they thought it's going to be a situation where there's a lot of nominations and no victories and people online like complaining when some of the early awards didn't come out so I was happy to see it shake out the way it did no we got to we got to thank timothy shalamee for just totally imploding toward the end of the race like for real I was checking the prediction markets and they said that the prediction markets had for the majority the big awards they had it right for the most part about

They were doing the guess is what movies would win how many awards. And yeah, Timothy Chalemay, they didn't even clap for him really. They didn't even really clap for him when they announced Leo, Pablo, Michael, Timothy. It was like, oh, shit, I never heard that for a white person. Yeah, you can't diss him. You fucked up. Got to be careful. Yeah, so he, more black points to him.

I'm off that cookout shit. I've been off that cookout shit more Jack Harlow has me off it even more now But yeah Anyway what are you guys saying about it No I mean With regards to I'm sorry

Can we start with what did you guys think of Conan O'Brien? It wasn't great but it wasn't horrible It wasn't I thought he had much to work I thought he held it down for what the show was That's what I was about to say Because the bits that they pulled Like with the presenters come up

They try to make a little comedic bit were all terrible. So they were so bad that it made him look good. I enjoyed Conan O'Brien on some dad joke shit. Yeah. Like they all seem just like dad joky. Like he wasn't killing it, but he wasn't bombing. I like the intro and the outro.

We're funny. The skits off weapons and one battle after another. Those are funny. The jokes in between, it was cool. It was it. It was fine. That shit was blah. Yeah.

It was fine. For me at best, blah. I was really. rooting for sinners in the costume design shit until I saw a Frankenstein shit. Frankenstein shit deserved a lot of that shit. You know the boy had to sit four hours a day to get that shit put on him? They said, no, 400 hours total makeup time for home boy. It was four hours a day he would have to sit.

That's before y'all saw in action. You sitting there getting that shit put on you stick, nigger. Hey, not to, fuck it. Not to gay it out. That's a good looking white guy. I think I had the moose in his ear Like that room had some good looking white people in there I know y'all don't care

Anyway Go ahead, fine sinners Frank aside was pretty good I'm glad it got some awards Because it was pretty good You should watch it. You said it was good Yeah it was good

I was good I watched it as well But the best two movies of the year Were sinners in one battle after another And they won all the awards As they deserved I didn't I had started one battle after another A couple months ago

But it fell asleep on it never went back to watch Yeah. After the Oscars, like the next day, I said, I got to watch this movie all the way through. Yeah. And I get it. It's a very good movie. It's a very good movie. And because when they did a supporting actor, I wanted Delroy Lindo to win that one.

Me too. But after fully watching one bad after another, Sean Penn deserved that award. I mean, Sean Penn just had a much bigger role in one battle after the other than Delroy did in sinners. But he killed the role. And we do still have to honor racist bigots and piece of shit characters and movies. especially when they can bring them to life. Because that was his role. No, yeah.

And if they can bring it to life and make you hate the motherfucker on screen, they did their job. But you know, sometimes with I agree with everything you're saying, sometimes with the Oscars, the best person don't get it, especially when it comes to us. Sometimes we get skipped over and it's a lifetime award.

You know, like when Denzel got skipped over for Malcolm X and they gave it to Pacino for sin of a woman. It was like, well, Pacino deserved it for like a lifetime of work. I was, Sean Penn deserved it. But part of me was hoping that Delroy would get that lifetime of work. That's a lifetime of work. Oh, yeah, for a lifetime. For a lifetime.

Because Delroy didn't put in a lot of work. He did from Malcolm X. I mean, all the Spike movies and then other stuff too. And that was sinners. He was amazing. What you say? I mean, can we give it to somebody that's going to be there next time? Yeah.

Well, I think he went to go speak to someone of the president somewhere in Columbia. All right. Then put the Zoom screen up, nigger. You know what time it is. Via satellite? Give us the speech via satellite. That would have been fly. But the.

story tonight by far. Come on, let me just get right into this. Let me cue this up. Do you do, do, do, do, do, do. That's it. That entire room was just so ecstatic for this brother. That's what I loved about. And I love that he acknowledged that in his speech. Got a standing up. Yeah, put the camera on Timothy Shalewan. Yeah. That's one of my favorite things from award shows is the loser can. And so on the loser. Could y'all do it? The loser care. What did you say?

I said, could y'all do it? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Act like you happy? Yes. And it might be genuine happiness. I did some of them are genuinely happy for me. I don't think everybody is genuinely happy, dog.

They may not be, but you sit. You got to get up there and play good sport. The director community, the director community seems legitimately like happy for each other. Yeah, they kind of remind me in the producer community in music where it's like they fuck with each other. Some of them actors The actor is not so much Yeah exactly More like the rapper community

Tiana about to break her hand clap She was going crazy in the front row I love seeing that God is good And um Yeah mama what's up Love that Absolutely love that

My mother and my father's here Your pop where you at? My dad came in from Ghana Floorin from Ghana My brother and my sister's here Suit look great He looked great He did.

I want to think Mike and Pam for believing in this dream, this vision of Ryan Coogler, and betting on the culture, embedded on original ideas and the original artistry. And you're an amazing, amazing person. I'm so honored to call you a collaborator

and a friend, and you gave me the opportunity in space for me to be seen. And I love you too, bro. Ryan Coogler doing the fucking sign language. I love you. Cool. My incredible cast. Thank you so much for giving a smoke.

opportunity to be him. Haley at home, you know, she's, you know, get ready to have a big right now. Thank you so much for being the other, other half of stack. Miles, Delroy, Jamie, everybody, Leely, Omar, that entire cast. Thank you guys for supporting me through this. My team, Phil Sun, Greg Sluwitt, Lindsay Gallen. Um, uh, uh, uh, ooh, man, y'all. I love this, too. Yeah, too. Yeah.

All of that. Because of the people that came before me, Sidney Portier, Denton, Washington, Ali Berry, Jamie Fox, Forrest Whitaker, Will Smith, and Abiyo... What if Forrest win for again? Ghost dog, right? Scott Lerick. Scott.

He's not playing, man. I'm a kid over my career. I'm serious. I know you guys want me to do well. What fuck is ghost? And I want to do that because you guys bet on me. So thank you for keep them. But keep betting on me.

Let's go, man. And I'm going to keep stepping up. And I'm going to keep being the best version of myself I can be. So I just want to say thank you for everybody in this room that has something to do with my success. I love you guys. And everybody at home who supported sinners who went to see the movie once, twice, four or five times. Thank you. Because you guys made this movie what it is.

I love you. And there you have it. I thought he was going to break down. Yeah. I thought it was a few times I thought he was going to break down. He couldn't hold it. But amazing speech. Shit, I was breaking down.

Me too. No, I was home break. Yeah. Yeah. I thought he was going to break down, but he didn't. Amazing speech. Off the dome. He ain't even read off the paper, all that bullshit they do.

Some of the Sydney party ain't. I'm sure he wrote all of that somewhere, but just the look of it. I hate when they go get to pulling the shit out in. I had no idea I would win tonight. To watch his ascension. He was the little dirty nigger sitting on the bench on the wire, bro. Where's Wallace? Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

would have ever thought that watching that he would go to this like even in the wire his role was minimal in the wire he didn't and he killed him in season one yeah was that one yeah like he didn't have the the biggest role in the wire you know what I'm saying and so the next time I remember seeing him was what fruitvale yeah fruit so so so to do that and again to do that with Ryan step and step is an amazing thing that's my favorite part of it to do all of it with Ron that's what I'm saying boom boom boom boom boom with Ryan that's just an amazing thing and um they keep betting on each other like he said hand to hand i think it's fine yeah i think it's super fire listen i've been i i've been pretty harsh on michael b jordan over the years

yes that's true i forgot about those criticisms early on oh my god those are some of my best pods i love that shit i love coming in here talking all that you really said two two sentences in creed yeah like i doubled down in what i said but to it's just point That's what makes this so great is for somebody to continue to develop their craft, for somebody to give a fuck enough about it to work on it consistently and where the public can see the improvements rather rapidly. Like I read something about the changes he made to smoke or stack one of them, one of their faces as he was doing it, like to make the characters appear different.

Like he said, he was locking its jaw paws. So one had dimples, your eyebrows. He said he's manipulating his facial structure a certain way so that the twins could appear different. Like that commitment to detail is what I'm talking about. So that's the stuff that resonates. How could you not be proud of a guy like this? Take that, L'Oreal.

That was another real bad take of mine. Oh my God. That might have been up there with my chance take coming in here and siding with L'Oreal. What a fucking mess Hey that's back when I was pandering the women I ain't a lot of y'all I was heavy in pandering

Mold defending Loreale She was dead ass wrong You know what too yo He just seems like a nice guy He is He is a nice guy I'm just saying a lot of people On camera seem nice

From him you get like Yo he just might be a nice Cool ass dude Like I know people that know him personally I never met him But he just seemed like a just An overall genuinely nice cat and you got to root for people like that.

He's genuinely nice, genuinely humble. Yeah, like you got a root for that. You couldn't see it happen to a better person. That was the thing, you could even see it in the speech. Like, he was really overwhelmed by the moment and really excited by the moment. And to see somebody who's that loved as an actor, as a sex symbol, all these things,

be like genuinely nervous getting the award. He shouldn't have been nervous because he's sexy. I mean, you wouldn't understand this, but like if people... I would. I would look at another. digger understand his sex appeal. I got you, though. Go ahead. Yeah, I mean, you're usually in control of every room.

People are eating out of your hand. And he didn't care. Like, that wasn't how his brain worked. He was just overwhelmed by the moment. Humility. Genuine about the moment. You don't see that too often with actors. And for one night, even if only one night only,

get these British motherfuckers to fuck out of it. Oh, that was so great. Yeah. Pan the camera to damson. Let me look at him for F1. Can you think of the fuck. Hey, and I love these guys. But it's been the whitewashing of just black American male actors.

That's a good point. Yeah. Enough. Enough now. With this British shit. That show is great. I don't care, Flint. I'm down with you.

That shit felt great. I wanted to make a correction because they killed me. Sean Penn was speaking to the president of Ukraine. Prime Minister, what's that was his name? You're not Columbia. Paul. It's a big deal. Sean Penn is heavy in Paul.

Yeah, I wanted to correct that because it's Ukraine. He went to Ukraine. That's why he missed the Oscars. And the Center's Dance Performance. Oh, it body. 30 minutes into the awards. Fire. I felt like that was the entire room agreeing,

this is why. Yeah, that is why. That is true. Love seeing the blues on a big stage like that. That shit was fun. That shit was great. And Homeboy, the little blues, dude. Nice.

Yeah. My brother, you need a mixtape. It's time, yo. Don't miss your mark. You need a little five, four or five song EP or something with some blue slaps. He showed up. He showed up.

No, he killed that. I like his post interview on the carpet with his mother. I think it was pre or post. I thought that was dope. Pre is before and post. I know. I think it's pre or post. I think it's before or after.

I'm not sure. But, you know, when he was talking with his mom and stuff like that, and she was like, since three years old, he was and you know they gave praise of God. I just like wholesome moments like that. That was dope to me. For sure.

And they said the dancer, ballerina girl, was dancing for Timothy Chambalay the whole time. She's fire. She's fire. She came back from the hip surgery. Mr. Cobrare. I missed it. Amazing.

That's amazing too. She had a whole hip replacement. Just stood there in front of Timothy and said, hold up. What you say is? None. I'll tell you one thing. I know we're honoring black excellence.

right now. Indeed. I want you to say somebody with some boy shit. See some white tinias that did it for you? That Kylie Jenner looked on. I ain't sitting up to two. Ooh,

yeah. That Kylie Jenner looked like something last night and I ain't into them General Cardassian. Like almond milk, mangan. General Kardashian.

Like all the L milk's coconut milk. Cashew. Cashew. It might be a little catchy here. Nah, that red dress with them earrings

and that necklace with just two big ass. They just say the tip. Stones in that. Nah, I didn't think her tities was so great. That's another one I pumped up that little racist white girl's tities. There's nothing just horrible take for me. Fuck that girl's tities.

Sydney, whatever. Sidney's just like a slap in my girl's face. I erase that episode from the archives. What else? What else is from the Oscars that we need to discuss? I mean, Ryan Cooleer would have been in the best original screenplay. Ryan Cooleger, yes. I'm just happy for all those brothers.

Yes, of course. And that shit don't really be touted. Like being a director, being a producer and all that shit. So especially coming from where he comes from. Like, my nigga, he probably got teased. There's some shit just for going into the arts and the hood. So for him to really stand up and stand out, that shit is amazing to me. I like the speech.

Niggas got 16 awards. They won four. I've read an article from Slate Magazine that kind of pissed me off. They was like, uh... Where you caught to Slate? You went to the... You in Hudson News just wilding. You were the news there?

You were the news there? Yeah, you heard of it. You know, I've read something. What are you picking up Slate? Niggas is the internet generation. You're all, you know, you and Wawa just buying shit. Let me get the new Slate.

But go ahead. What are they saying, Slate? They was like, sinners turned out to be the biggest loser and I just thought that shit was so tacky. That's why you can't support Slate. Yeah, I just thought that shit was so tacky, my biggest losers.

It's been a bunch of the publication shit, on them even through their success. And it's really weird. Variety, I think was the other one that did. Variety too? Yeah. Yep.

It's nasty. They said something about it being a disappointment because it earned 60 minutes. I forgot what it was. That was very early on. It was very early. Variety was one of the first to get out there with the hate.

Yeah. And everybody responded. Niggas lark them, no. They still retweet them. They still retweet that shit to this day. Yeah. Yeah, I just thought that shit was time. Remember y'all said this?

Look what it made now. What do y'all think about Michael B. Jordan going in and out burger afterward? That was a lot. That was the most disappointing thing of the night. You were. Why? Because the Ending Out Burger is horrible.

Oh, it's the tradition. Yeah, I get you. Changes. For those that don't know, I mean, typically after the Oscars, winners do go to In and Out Burger. It's like a thing. I didn't know that either. Because some people thought he was trying to, like, look humble.

It's like, no, if you look at all the photos, actors, like, actors leave the Oscars and go to End and Out Burger. It's like a thing. Well, and I read something that said he apparently tried to work there early in his career, and they turned him down. So it was like a full circle. Oh, that's a good. Oh, that's dope.

And in and out burger, if you're in LA, like that shit do taste good around 2 a.m. if you're coming from somewhere and you had a couple of drinks. That's the only time. That's the only time. That's the only time. Late night, that's up. Johnny Rock is. Drunk and leaving us back.

Johnny Rockets was the shit, man. He said that apple pie too, man. I only beefed them apple pies. Crazy. Johnny Rockets back in my late 20s was my first stop when I hit that Miami. Get that outside. Outside outdoor table. You're the one that is.

You're the one that is. I don't know what that is. I think they had one of show us. You know what heroin. You're painters on heroin is. And you don't know what Johnny Rockets is. I didn't live the privileged life like you, bro. I was outside.

I don't know if Johnny Rockets is not privileged. That shit is good. That shit ain't privileged me. They ain't had one in New York. They got one in Jersey Gardens. Can that? I wish you all the reference. They're like Applebee's, dog.

It's the same level. Okay. Chili's. Yeah. Yeah. I miss when they used to come out on their little skates and do the dance. Go ahead, nigga. I used to go there at that time.

Nah, for real. Sometimes it was a baddie coming out. But now you got to fuck the Johnny Rockets girl. Put yourself in a hard spot. Yeah. Oh, y'all be fucking a Johnny Rockers girl. Anyway. All right.

Come on. Look at you. Love including people with your word. No, I probably would do it too. Oh, all right. So, so say that then. How's you look? So say that.

Yeah, say that. I feel like y'all will fuck some Johnny Rocket mid. See, now he's got. All right, moving on, moving on. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. We're not doing that.

Anywhoof. Congratulations to all the winners. Yes, sir. Yeah, all of the winners. I still think I support that weapons lady winning. She did. She did. I like the girl from, I'm not having watched him in it,

but the girl's speech was, she seemed very likable. The Irish Irish girl, woman. Yeah. It was a good speech. I'm conflicted on how I feel about the Oscars just hitting the music right right when niggas is about to talk. Fam, they took the mic down on the nigga.

They did that shit a couple times. Somebody was like, hold up. Yeah, yeah, yo, that was fucked up. The mic went back down in the ground. My man was just standing there like, the lights went off all that shit. Oh, shit. And then they can't leave. They sit there back up.

That's my moment That is truly messed up But I can't lie and stay It ain't funny I wasn't entertaining Oh no that was funny shit We got to keep this show rolling Man

And if you're As like a group You're going up there With like 10 of you You can't You got the one lady Hogged the mic a little bit Like you gotta just get it in

You see my man was trying to tap her arm Like yo let me get some words in here Like what the fuck you doing She's shouting everybody And she said the same speech She said it's the last shit I forgot it was the golden gloves of the Gramies, but it was the same exact speech.

You got to share that then. And just on some pro-black shit, while those, they was up there, what was it, the Koreans. The Koreans. When the Koreans was up there, I did think to myself, oh, this would be a great time

to just let like 30 of the Tourette's niggas in. Why? No, if they pan into the Tourette's table right now, and the niggins crazy. They let it go. All issue when they yell down. That's a lot of it. They just letting it go on this.

All issue. Practice restraint is, please. You about to get his back. You know all the words. Oh, that would have been funny. Overall, I thought the Oscars did a good job, or at least the parts that I wasn't fast forward. I think the awards were given to the right people.

I don't think that the ceremony was particularly entertaining. It was blah. Yeah. Then I liked on the red carpet. I liked. I liked them highlighting the Stephen Spielberg, Timothy Shalamay beef. Apparently they were on the red carpet at the same time ignoring each other. Ooh.

Because remember, they had beef. I didn't even know that. I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. Yeah, you're shady. And I ain't fucking with y'all this whole Tiana hate train that's running around right now. Yeah, it's happened with the thing. I ain't like that shit, bro.

What do they hate on her for? Her little interaction with the... Yeah, her being excited during the awards. Oh, that? Oh. Come on, man. Well, it started with the Was it the supporting

Supporting Actress Award that she didn't win And they announced the person that won She jumped up screaming And they're like, oh, this is fake, you're phony, you'll be Yeah, she's great. If y'all don't know Tiana or something. Yeah.

So they don't know Tiana, though. You don't have to know her personally. You just follow her, watch her. You see, this is her. Yeah, it is. She wasn't out of character, is what I'm saying. And even if she was, right? I mean, if you don't say anything

they say you're a hater, If you cheer for the person that wins, they say you face. So then when one battle after another one, you know, the way she grabbed the director and the headlock, nigga, I'm happy. Right. When you make a movie with somebody... Okay, we're not going to be honest.

All right. Well, go ahead. No, no, no, I want to hear the cap. What's the cap? When you make a movie somebody, you go to war with them. You become family, so you might really be happy with the motherfucker that won. Like, I don't think that's normal. I think that's normal.

Our movie won, my nigga. If I worked on the album and the album won one album of the year, I'm running up. They're happy with you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Got it. What you got to say? Nothing. Maybe I'm wrong about it. Well, what are you wrong about? You're not saying that her grabbing the director was inappropriate? I'm not going to say what's appropriate and was not appropriate because, like y'all said, she was happy.

If that's how you're showing happiness, awesome. Okay. However. For me, if I'm winning an award, an award that, I don't know if he's won before, this was a big deal for him to win. It was. I think it was his first time. Yeah. He's done some great movies.

That's what I'm saying. Like the same reverence that the room had for Michael B. Jordan on the flip, they had it for him as well. In that moment, don't put me in the headlock. You said, let him have his moment. Please don't put me in that. Oh, I see. You're not saying it's fake. I'm not saying it's fake.

You're just saying it's performing. They were saying she was doing a lot. And when I watched it, I could see how somebody could think that at least. I don't know. PTA seems like the kind of guy that's cool with the headlock. I think it depends on your rapport with the person. Yes. But even if he's cool with the headlock, please don't put me in a headlock as I make my way.

to the podium. Please. He's going to a comedian. I'm sure he's probably cool with it. He might have not had a problem with it. I ain't seen my right. Still, please don't put me in a headlock while I'm on my way to the podium

to win my shit. Yo, we win a Grammy or some shit. Headlock for you, buddy. Oh, you get a headlock. And a wedgie. Flip is definitely putting you in a headlock. What? Well, he's, well, I didn't dig it at it.

You said he was a Friday? Well, he's not going to beat it, right? I love it. No, stop. I don't think Flip will put me in Adlock. I don't. It just depends, bro. You'll be overwhelmed with emotion

and you got a rapport with the person. If y'all play like that on scene, some of these movies take months. So you literally in the trenches with these motherfuckers for months. So you know what their personality is like. The dude might not be that type of dude, then it's something different.

But if he a play fiend on set, if he does a bunch of silly shit on set and that's the, we might be slapboxing every day set. His wife is not my rad off. I'm pretty sure if they're just giving you an example. So it just depends. And I don't think she does that. But none of that, I give what y'all

are saying. Just to me, I don't want to be circular. You say, don't do it anyway. None of it negates what, yeah, what I'm saying. Like, your wife's a comedian, you understand it. We've been having a blast on this movie for the last half of many years. We've tied it in fucking the two ones in their I understand all that. Please,

as I'm going to accept my word, please don't put me in that law. That's me saying that. They cool with it, cool, we'll have a black. I'm telling y'all. Sure, true, sure. If we are ever in that situation, flip, flip. You know what to do. You already.

No, I don't know. I'm going to take your shirt off and slap you. But other than that, I'm not with black. I'm not with black people suppressing the black. I'm not with that. Like, we are, they were saying she's a lot. I'm, we a lot. No, but these white people could be a lot.

When they put the, now they ain't be a lot like us. Like when they put them little dog whistling signs in the hotel and say keep the noise down there ain't for the white people. That's for us. No why? Because we're going to make noise, nigga. We're going to make mad noise while you and your little fucking family of three is sleeping there in the handicapped. Crazy this hell if you think they ain't making noise.

You know, that's the drunk ones. That's what I've seen them with a couple of them peeped paps, blue ribbons in them. Go put your ear in the window today. They don't got to be drunk, we ain't got to blame it on drunk. It's some loud, boisterous white people. They don't got to be drunk to be crazy and white. Are you talking about the born in the USA white? Oh, man.

Born in the USA! America! Right. America. They throw that mark out there. Not America. I think one of them whites, I was in a fucking compromising situation

a few weeks ago. I was in a pizza place by myself and joined a slice. I think one of them whites came in with his kid and was loud, like about his views. I'm like, why don't your views matter at the pizza place? Like, we shouldn't have that. I feel like you're doing you're doing that

to get me to do something in here. Absolutely. So he can justify the way I look at you. I ain't gonna beat one of the niggas up in front of their kids. I would. That's a lie. Don't get salient.

Or, right. You don't want no Maga beat down. Yeah. In the pizza place? Yeah, you don't want that. You flipping you up like the dog. Exactly. And you know what?

Give me a pepperon. Give me a pie of pepperoni. You sit there, boy. You think I'm the dough free. He's going to beat Nicky pie. They flip me in the air every which way. Pepperoni in the fuck out, Joe. Tell us you don't want to be in a headlock.

Well, that's when I expect you all to run in here with the nation and fix it. Oh, yeah, for sure. Absolutely. Indeed. Indeed. Yeah. I'm about that one. Got you.

What else is important? I mean, one last thing in Oscars. It was pretty cool to see horror being celebrated on this big of a stage. It rarely is. Between Frankenstein, sinners, and weapons, all being mainstays in the award stage. You never see that from that. I was going to ask you, because I'm not in the horror at all. Like, is that like, is it like, is it seen as lowbrow?

Is that the reason? Usually. And a lot of times it is, in fairness. But a lot of times it isn't. There's a lot of very good horror out there. Yeah. Yeah. It was cool to see that celebrate.

I agree. I didn't see. Frankenstein, but was it really looked at as horror as opposed to cinematic? You know what I'm saying? It's old school. Because I don't look at centers as horror. It was kind of hard. It was labeled as horror.

I know. And Frankenstein, since the inception, has always been considered the horror genre. By today's standards of horror, maybe not, but that's because you're not afraid of the white devils. Like with the vampires? You ain't either. Let them in.

You're not even remotely. You know, that's my baby. Don't say nothing. You should let them right in and on Sinner's house. Come a, graham. Come on, Graham. You got friends. I met a bunch of them through you.

You was welcoming. You was welcoming. It's good. It's cool. It's true, man. So I was talking about, Abby Upped it for you. Yeah, you did. All right.

All right. You deny it sometimes. They get tired of talking about. They get tired of hearing about me and issues. past relationship, bromance, and how we fuck mad holes all over the world.

So I'm not, I'm not talking about that no more. That would be the last time you hear about me and is fucking holes all over the world together.

Anyway. Anyway. What do y'all want to move on to? Hey, Mark, you were saying from the Oscar, someone announced

their significant others. Oh yeah, one of my favorite people, favorite directors, Ava Duvarnet. We love her. Shopping. the able. Shout to Ava. We love you. We love you. We love you. She was on the red carpet.

Essence was interviewing her and they asked her sort of, was it something you're proud of? They asked her some question that she could answer like a lot of different ways. And she chose to say, I'm proud of. I'm happy that I brought my significant, yeah. And she introduces her significant other. She's, I've been hiding him for a while. You know, he's been around for a while, but I'm happy to introduce him and to bring him to the red carpet or whatever. and then, you know, all the blogs and stuff. Ava got him. Ava's got a man, all this stuff, which I thought was dope.

Salute to her, I'm glad she's happy. But I wondered about that. Like, one, like, would y'all do that at an event that big at the Oscars? And then more broadly, like, when is the right time to unveil the significant other in public, public? Because that's a big, that's big. That's not like just like Instagram. Eight months. Eight months?

Eight months. I thought you thought that through. You thought you. Yeah. He's over there lying. So one's got started it off. Thank you. Eight months is a starting point.

Yeah. How long? You know how long? Mineral requirement. And is that for like IG or is that for like the red carpet? I mean, well, let's slow down. I'm with the unveiling. The first award show ain't going to be the Oscars.

Like, let's try this at the ozone awards. Yeah, let's try to set the ozone awards. Yeah, let's try to set the ozone awards. The source awards. Some way in the vibes. Yeah. We ain't going to do this premiere at the Oscars. That's how I know Homeboy was home.

And I love Ava, so I'm going to shut up actually about this. But Homeboy was home putting the pressure on her. He was trying to get to unveiled at the supermarket. Anyway. When you unveil your partner at something as big as the Oscars with the speech that she gave, I assume that there was pressure put on you from the partner. I agree. Oh, she gave a speech show I didn't see this.

You think? I assume that. She gave a review speech. Yes. It was just in the interview, like in the interview. So yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe. That's pressure. Yeah, but if it's pressure. Or she could just been in the moment. It was more sincere. It could be sincere. Yeah. Could be sincere.

She's a sincere person. So. And nobody was asking for that. You know what I mean? I feel like if anything, she might have been caught in the moment. Like you with your boo, whatever, you're happy. Is you talking to essence. It was like some sister girl shit.

And you just be like, yo. But you've never. I don't know how long they've been together. You've never shown this person or said anything about this person. And you said nobody's asking for that. Duel could have been a person asking for that. Could be. Well, this is another one of those instances where I don't have the life experience to share on the matter.

Oh, bullshit. But we have four people here. Right. Like, so if y'all were going to do something like that, would you do it that way or would there be a different event? Or would you try to get some more excuses out there? I think you need a softer launch than the Oscars. Yeah. On Instagram posts, a little.

court side of the game. It depends on that relationship, man. Yeah, it depends on a relationship. But I think you cannot leave your significant other at home at the Oscars. Yeah, true. But it's the... They do it all the time. Take your mom.

Yeah. Good point. So, yeah, so from... Now, I'm seeing the essence article a little bit more to give more detail today. Because they asked what she's proud of. She said, I'm proud of myself for bringing my honey, right? Apparently, they've always been together at these events. So she hasn't been hiding them.

She just never, like, public. like, acknowledged. Like, names it. You know, she's kind of just doing her thing. It's not a secret. Like, just go stand over there.

Yeah. Hold my bag. Stand over there. Wait for me. I'll be right back. So to me, that is kind of a soft launch, right? Like, you go out with the person,

you've seen at events. People used to seeing y'all together. You had the games. You had this. You had this. Then to me, the next step is social media. Nowadays.

Yeah. You know, like you might post a holiday picture, Thanksgiving picture, and birthday picture. And at your birthday, that person is next to you. Then you get to the award show.

Or could have been a bunch of award shows and I wasn't acknowledged. Yes. That's true, too. Oh, true. That's true, too. Could be that. I'm tired of this. I'm going to keep standing here.

Would y'all do that? Do dudes feel like that? Yo, you just took the words out of my mouth. Like, would you do that? Do what? Like, if you were dating some, like, say you weren't famous and you were just dating somebody. He doesn't have a lot of life experience in that. That's a good point.

But, like, if you're not famous. If you weren't famous, he wouldn't be dating nobody. Do I mean? I'm not doing that. If you weren't If you weren't famous You were dating to buy Like overly successful

Would you put pressure on them Even if you come into the award ceremonies with them To be cast into the light Like you could be with them as an escort Like I don't, yeah I'm not into that Me either I can't imagine

I could imagine a man doing that There's dudes like that I could imagine But if a if a A list actress Neat asked one of you guys to accompany her to the Oscars. Is that an automatic no because you're all involved?

Yes. Oh, you mean now? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I might not even watch that. I might not even watch the TV.

I mean, right. I understand. Can't do it. I understand. Ah. What the fuck? These niggas. I'm going.

I'm going. I'll go. Yeah, you're good. Yeah. I'm going. Wait, man, wait, go, wait, go, wait. I'm going. So Hallie Berry, I'm going.

It's like, Flip, I need you to come with me to the ice. Wait, wait, wait, wait, Holly. I might have to have a conversation with my girl. Who is the A-lister? I'll be like, yo, give me the name. Just getting lives off again. No, my initial reaction would be no. Okay, your un-initial reaction would be.

It depends on the conversation I have with my girl, and my girl say no. Well, let me tell you. Okay, but how would you want to guide that conversation? Yeah, how would you want to guide that conversation? How would you... It's a good look for my career? Yeah.

I would go home and say, yo, Halliberry wants to take me to the Oscars. What do you feel about this? I got everybody in here. Do you Spanish? She goes to be an old thing. I got everybody in here doing this would be good for my career. Yeah, but I have everybody in here doing it.

I would try to get that off. No, at least having the talk with your partner. You're going to try it. I'm going to try to get it off. I'm going to tell you all, it's not going to work. No, I just said that. I said, yo, Hallie Berry, like J-Lo, Hallie Berry. it could be somebody.

Yeah, it don't got to even be that high. Somebody that I think would be a good look for my potential career, I'm going to go home and try to sell it. And even if she says, yeah, it's going to be a miserable, miserable year plus. I want to hear. I don't even really want to go. The Oscars is going to get these houses built. The Oscars going to get the houses built?

Yeah. Yeah, this is when he's like, I'm a hotcaster. No, I'm an immediate space. space. Let's go it. He practiced that. Hey, none of y'all going home with that shit. I ain't saying going to home with that shit.

It's not going to work. I'm not going to work, though. I'm not sure it's not going to work, though. I was so sure it's not going to work. How to work out? Not the greatest. You ain't see me at North? Yeah, I didn't go.

You ain't see me. But I tried it, and in my head, it made sense. It made sense for me to try it. I didn't really expect her to all the way. way understand what I was saying, but it was the whole in my career. How abrasive was the no?

I don't know that she said no. You can feel the disappointment in the room. Feel the brain on your skin. No one else will feel it for you. Yeah, I don't know that she said no. But you just you can feel the no in the air like Bini Siegel. She hit you with a

half one. Oh shit. Yeah, it was bad. She can't say that now. No, she The half-in is never... You don't want that. I'd rather you say no than half-office. But is it implied that we're going to fuck after the Oscars? No.

Yeah, let's go on, ma. It's implied that you are charismatic and you are attractive and the possibility of being in somebody's company at an event like that could lead to something else. And listen, when I tried it, it was very early on in the relationship. I don't think that she flies at all right now.

I don't even know if I could ask that you right now. I wish I would go home and ask my wife if I could go with an A-less actress. to the Oscars. See, but if that's my wife, then I would ask. I'm going, nigga. If that's my wife, then I would 100% ask. There's a little more. There's a little more.

You might be on to something. You might be on to something. I wouldn't hold her hand. I wouldn't touch her, man. I'll be right there. I'm worried about that. My hands are behind my back. Yeah, well, we are. We all worry.

We all worried. Would you let your wife go to? No. Of course you won't. Of course. Hey, yo. Have your wife's up? If your wife's up, if your wife was in media, if your wife was in media, if your wife was

a media. If your wife was an actress, if your wife was... I don't care if she does armed security. She can't even if that's an entertainment. If your wife was in entertainment, it might be part of her job. Exactly. To do what? Nick, you do a lot of smiling in them interviews with them ladies, nigga.

Oh, we have Mark, no, my, blah, I'm on here. Hello? Hello? What was that white lady you just spoke to? I was just watching it. What was that name? Rachel Dola. Oh, whatever it was.

In Katie Jallo. Excuse me. It was a nice smile, boy. I wasn't smiling for them in Casey Jallelo. Whatever you were saying. Come on, shake my hand. I'll take your hand,

but I don't know what you're talking about. You were bad team. No, my wife couldn't go. No. Yeah, you would change the subject. No, I'm not changing the subject. I just don't know what you're talking about. But, oh, I find it.

But part, you find it. But part of the problem is, particularly if you're publicly in a relationship like you, right? Or any of us. Like us. All of us. But I'm just using an example is, if you were to go,

even if you had that discussion with your lady, all the blog's going to say is you broke up and that you out with somebody new. So it's going to be embarrassing. True, true. And so what your partner's going to be thinking about is the embarrassment. And that's going to trump whatever is going on with your career. So we're letting the blogs run our shit now?

Now, you let her feelings run the shit, Joe. Mm-hmm. Give them the chain. Just go to prize pick. Give her a chance. Go to prize mix. That was, that was, that was, he called it. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, get respect. We're letting her feelings. Turn the mic out of it. Anyway, before, before we go to prize big, though, quick question for you guys since we were bullshit around not like this has anything to do with that how long

after you move from a place do you get to claim the place I'm thinking about this because of Norrie and Peter Rosenberg's little back and forth where Norrie went to do the new morning show with Merrill and he was like yo it feels good to hear some New York the show sounds like

and feels like New York now to which Pete took offense he was a lot I love Pete but That was a lot. I thought he made a lot of valid points. Wow. I'm sorry to interrupt. I don't think there's anything harmful in saying that I like hearing New York voices on the premier New York radio station.

Because none of them respectfully are from New York. And I think that's okay. It's okay to like, it's not saying you weren't good at your job. It's not saying your show wasn't dope. It's not saying any of that shit. It's just like it's nice to hear someone from New York on hot. I agree with that. But for people that are mutually fly with both.

Mero and the old morning show. And you go to the new show and say, oh, finally, and it feels good. I can see how it could come off away to Pete. The sauce, the memory sounded sincere, and he didn't sound, he didn't sound mean in his, it's nice to hear New York voices on a New York radio station.

If he said it like how you said it, I would completely understand. But Pete's response was, I've been in New York for 20 years now. I've been rapping underground New York hip hop more than anybody in the position. I married a New York woman, had my baby in New York. I've been in New York. And on the flip side, nor he hasn't lived here for 15 years.

And it was one until he got to the end then. I was like, hmm. Interesting. How long do we get to claim a place or act like we're in tune with the on's going? of the place. I can speak as while you don't live there. I don't think he did that.

I can speak as someone who's not from here. I've been here for 20 years. I don't necessarily I still claim Elmira. I wouldn't complain if someone said you don't sound like a New Yorker. I don't think that that's out of pocket

because I'm not from New York. I think that's okay. But sounded like it seemed like they were talking past each other because I agree with you. It's like if you're not from there, you're not from there. You can always say that.

Right. But Rosebush. Brooks Poe was I put on for New York in terms of the artists, in terms of the radio all these other things. And he did. And that's what to me. And his point was, I'm actively in New York right now during a mass accident.

I'm here. I'm here and you're not. Why do you get to say that to me? Yeah. But he can still say, because I'm from here, I grew up here, I'm a New Yorker. Now that I touch down back in the city whether it be 10 years, 15 years, it just feels good to hear it sounding like New York.

But why, if you listen in Florida radio? I'm not in Florida right now. I'm listening to you. I'm going to be sorry. But no, but look, the fact that I do. And Norie's my brother and I love it. I'm not in Florida right now. I'm back home in New York.

Nigel you here for two days. Well, you give a fuck about how to morning radio sounds. If I am listening to Florida radio every single day and I come home and touch down, it feels good to hear New York radio or New York voices on the radio. I think that wherever you spent majority of time, you can't say Norrie's not a New Yorker. If I stood here, I went to jail here. I ran the streets here. I had my first fist fight here.

I graduated high school. I did all of these things here. I'm certified, stamped as a New Yorker. I don't give a fuck if I moved to Wyoming and lived there for the last 30 days of my years of my life, I'm a New Yorker. You can't take that away from somebody because they've been gone for 10 years.

But you're not mindful when you have the relationships with people. I'm not disagreeing. I'm not talking about the one thing. I'm just talking about the one thing. You can't say that Norrie's not. You all right, but I'm split down the middle on this. I'm going to both right by you. You're going to make fair points.

I'm split down the middle of them. I'm not distant. Norie made the war report so you can end New York. So I mean, that's it. He could go move to West Bubble fucks. After that. He's cemented in the history of New York.

But if I'm in Chicago DJ and Kanye just happens a ride through Chicago tomorrow, like it's about time Chicago radio sounding Chicago. And like he ain't been there and I don't even know the last time he lived in Chicago.

Like, I could see the person who's a transplant but been holding down Chicago being like, the fuck are you talking about. But I also can see Kanye liking to hear Chicago voices on the radio.

That's what I said. To me, they both true. It just seemed like an unnecessary. Yeah. I can't see both sides. But you can't never say Kanye, not a Chicago one. Right. That's why I'm saying. It seems like they both could have they felt as a thoughts and not even had this exchange. Norris comment didn't seem like a dig. It seemed like a big up. Yeah, he just digging his man up. It does come off like a dig just because Pete and him just got exiled from here. And now you just took the slot over. And now you're sitting here saying, oh, it feels good to hear New York again. So what you're trying to say was in New York when I was here? You've been in New York in New York?

Yeah, there's no way for that to not look like it. It's still a dig, y'all. Sorry. It's still a dig, no matter how you look at it. Even if it wasn't intended, that's a dig. It's not your first time in New York in 15 years. So you're speaking to the times you've been in New York and it ain't sound like New York. Go ahead.

Does this conversation happen if Rosenberg's still at high? No. And I don't, obviously, in the sense of like if he had said, like, I wish New York Radio sounded like New York. In other words, does Roseberg ignore this if they're not repositioning for the new, with the new gig and, you know, with the new platform and stuff that don't what I like. You know, is this also like, I'm going to just seize this moment. Was it an overreaction for the moment? I don't think so.

I have a question. I think he took it as a dig and was rightfully. What did we say when they appeared to be hiring a bunch of people from out of town to replace Rosenberg in the radio show? What was the general consensus by New York media? We ain't seen them two Atlanta comedians. Where they were from? We didn't see in Atlanta.

Atlanta. Now, they all like Saturday. Do you y'all notice real quick that there's a lot of, now that Ebro and them is off the radio, a lot of people are like, shit in. on them a little bit. Yeah, that's wrong. It wasn't shitting on them before when they was, I mean, I've seen it, but it's a lot more now. Wait until you get fired to shit on there.

They were gatekeepers and stuff. They called on Ebro, gatekeeper and stuff like that. I don't know. You guys know the logistics and ends and hours of the radio. I just it's kind of. They're all doing great, so it's corny to try to shit on them while. Ebro, I like the changes you're making

to your show in real time. I like the set. I like the graphics. I like the topics. I like what you got going on over here. It's a great show. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Ebro, Peter and, and Laura. Yeah, and everything they're doing individually, too, is great. Yeah.

And Merro and Norrie. Yeah, word. It seemed to know a lot of much to do about nothing, if you will. Boom. I will say I enjoy listening to the morning show, High 97. Yeah. I listen to it. Yeah, I listen to Adelie.

I enjoy it. Did you do that before? I did it before, too. Okay. Because, again, I got the kids in the car and stuff, so I just cut the radio on. It sounds differently with Merrow and them up there. Try to get your job, right? The biggest is playing up here.

Let's go freeze. I know that trick. Freeze. I know that. Freez, let me see where I fit on here. Mero, what up? You know all you DM niggas and e-boxing niggas? Let's go, freeze.

Fuck this, nigger, freeze. What are we doing, Friege? What are we doing, Friege? I don't play none of the... All right. That's your business. Y'all do that. See how I get...

It's easy. It's easy to loop a man. I get in trouble for being quiet. It's easy to loop a man. And that's your man. are you riding with a fuck you two you know what time is it's time fuck me

yeah I ain't even say nothing yeah you speak with your face light-eyed motherfucker this thing is crazy I get looped with him yes

all right the same way you ain't wanna be looped and with him but I'm really not down with him bro you are down with him bro

why y'all think why do you think that yeah what's wrong you do that every time bro why you think that why do I think y'all are down with each other like you start

you this is your creation you know that right that whole Nork Couch narrative, that's you. You create it and then you attach us in every, we don't think the same. We're two different people. Are you all not down with each other? I'm down with all of you, niggas.

We're all friends. I'm down with all. Am I down with you? But in the specific, no. So keep that in mind. Next time somebody mentioned marriage proposal, rings, anything like that, because you love to throw me in with you. But in the specific.

Can you address what I'm saying? And this, you didn't answer my question yet. You didn't get your question out. I've been asked the same question. You said, I'm down and I said I'm down with all of you. He did answer that. Which means you're down with?

I'm down with him and you and you and you. Okay, I'm not down with him. Just to be clear. Or you, nigga, fuck off that. You are down with him. Fuck you too. With who? Flip.

I don't want to be. Oh, my God. What time is it? You know what time is it, but. You know what time? You know, now it's time for my favorite part of the show, y'all. How can I undown myself? Now it's time for my favorite part of the show.

Okay, so speaking of it being good to be white. Well, actually not, because he's black. Jack Harlow Boy, the internet Who, it was like old Twitter This was a good week to have Wi-Fi.

Yeah, they was. They're creative, yo. You guys, sometimes this is when the internet is at its best, when black people have it. Seriously. You're right?

Yeah. Black Twitter, feels like black Twitter again. Boy, they had a blast with Jack Harlow and his album while we were recording.

We had some fun too, but the internet had way more fun and some of the names that these people came up with. I mean... Very creative. Fun. They're funny. They're funny. Hilarious. Drog. IRS 1 is ridiculous.

Tone deaf. Tone deaf. That's crazy. That's funny. What? What did they call this name? Music Rothschild. Yeah.

And music soulless child. And music stole child. They had a blast with that one. It says his album was Rhythmless Nation. Oh, my. The gentrification of Lord Hill. Oh, shit. What were some of your favorites?

Hello, wake up. Charlie Kirk Franklin. Charlie Kirk Franklin was one of my good one. Charlie Kirk Franklin was a good one. Oh, that nigga, neo-Nazi. They called him a bunch of shit. They called that nigga disingenuine. Oh, shit.

They called him most definitely not. Luka Vandross. Luca Vandross. Oh my God. Brian McWhite. Yeah. Stevie Wonderbred. Stevie Wonderbred was funny too.

Damn. DeAngelo Saxon. That's funny. They called them. Yo, they went crazy. It was crazy, bro. Like, all you go to lie? Some of these motherfuckers are creative.

They call that a nigga ice cube, but the ice that's doing the immigration shit. I see you. Oh, shit. That is funny, son. This has to be the worst thing that can happen to you. If you are artists and you go on a limb like this. No, it ain't.

Look, my album just dropped. Y'all got me viral? That is a good point. You buying it, though? At this point, I ain't even fucking with the album, but they just clowning it. They call this, nigger, lint condition. Lazy.

Lazy? Lazy. White thought. Vanilla rice. Ghost face vanilla De La Sote Instead of De La Soe That's funny too

That's funny That's pretty funny Yo Doug That's how laugh And they got like better every day It was like It's some creativity out there Bro

I ain't gonna lie Some of these motherfuckers Witty Oh man If you're Jack Harlow How are you feeling about it Is it like free promo You roll with the jokes

Are you feeling good about it It's free promo But at the same time Because he seems to have been genuine in trying to make this album and it's getting stepped on like that it might hurt. That's what I'm saying. How does it sound? Unfortunately, I feel like for today's artists, they're probably happy

with the buzz. So no one listens to the album? I think if you feel confident, we did it. I think if you feel confident in your product and you think you put out a good product, then this jokey shit might take niggas to go listen to at least one or two songs so they could get some more jokes off. Yeah. And then if you deliver it, then I think you're okay. So I think you give the internet too much credit.

I think they'll get them jokes off without doing any investigation. They just want a clown. They just had the picture. That was enough. Yeah, that was enough. The album reviews, I think the overall rating I saw one was like a three. 3.1. So it's like getting critically panned and is getting clown.

I just, I can't imagine he's okay with this. Yeah, it would be different if you felt like some of the jokes were leading people back to what was an amazing project. They called a Massapie. Yeah, no. Oh, and I did. That might be my favorite one. Massapee is great. We were trying to figure out

if he was still Generation Now or not because the album just said Atlantic. So I reached out to DJ drama and his response is, and I'm quoting him, he is forever generation now. Which I have thoughts on what that means if you can read between what I can.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna listen to the album. That's the thing about your music industry friends. Like, no matter how fly you are, you won't get the truth. No, you can, some things you can kind of tell. The truth is right there. Yeah, the truth is there.

And John, I'll see you in Atlanta or something, nigga, over coffee and find out what happens. The truth is there. He's still eating off that. It's all he's saying. Okay. Oh, so slow. I tell you, that break a tone will fuck me up. I'm slow today.

You all got to help me. That's what that meant. You can see it. Oh. Gotting. Do you put out your best work if somebody is, uh, If somebody's eating off your shit more than you want them to. Like, it's Jack trying to do, it's tricky.

It's tricky. It's tricky. It's tricky. Because you know how many hours you got left. And not just that. You put out your subpar work. Now your demand drops and it makes it harder for your next go around. We got some niggas that won't even record because they don't want the names on anything anymore.

That's what Skane told me in 2004 when I had the bright idea of getting out of all my contracts by just dropping trash putting out some trash and he was like okay and then you're going to go try to get a new situation with this

off the stats from your trash so you're only hurting yourself fuck they got me because then you got another you got another example where Future had that situation where Rocco was eating off his next two projects

and he gave us two of his best shit just to get them out just to get out the deal honorable you know what I mean it was like all right if I got my next two fine I'm dropping an album this week and next week so I could be done with you

and they were heat and look what it did or if you put out some bullshit it might make the label have reservations about giving you some money for your next project or putting your next project out

quickly. I don't think he put this out thinking it was some trash. I don't think he put his heart in this. And it's not trash. That's the other thing. I don't actually think this album is trash.

Again like I said last week I like the production on it. I like a couple of the songs. It's just fine. It's not bad. It's just fine. But I think given the expectations for him And the fact that there were no like major slaps on this

It was just is an easy album to pan And once one person starts clowning you for it Niggas just follow the leader Like ICE always says And so it's like Niggas is gonna just keep piling on that shit I think it hurt him more than he ever expected Like I can't imagine he did this thinking

That he was going to get killed for it See what I think is This is not the time to be experimental Like you know It's been a couple years since your project since your last project, which was well received. This ain't the time to come out and make a hard pivot and go

a completely different direction that nobody's expecting. And it's, it's tricky to say, if it's good enough, it works. It is. It is because we've killed artists for not. But it tries some new shit. No, what I always say? Well, what I always say,

find a way to do both. You get what I'm saying? If you want to experiment with some new shit, throw maybe three, four songs in there of trying that out. But you don't want to alienate those who are here because we were fans of what you've been doing all this time.

I think if it's good enough. I mean, look at Andre 3000. That's my first time of you and you say that ever. Oh, you don't listen to me. That's why. Oh, I think about somebody like Andre 3000, right, who obviously made a huge pivot when he did the, you know, the love. Anomily, man.

You said what? He's an anomaly. But, but that was a huge pivot. And that shit was good. That's good enough. I think the people will accept the hard of it. Andre has, even prior to that, proven himself to be an artist.

So those are a 20-year track record. What I said? To Pimble Butterfly was kind of. second album and that was a very hard left. Yeah. And it was good enough. And it was not received by everyone the greatest either. I mean.

So you're saying freeze. It was well accolated. So what you're saying is that even if someone is eating more than you want them to, don't put out anything made because it hurts you in a long run. I'm saying you, anytime you put something out, you should try to put your best project out every time. I think he thought this was. Like I've watched art.

I think even like Heavy D when he did the reggae album, which I actually. she really liked. Rest in peace. I think, rest in peace, heavy. Dee, I think sometimes, like, you make a turn and some fans go love it, some fans hate it, but those artists really be believing in that project.

I bet you Jack Harlow was somewhere when he dropped that shit on them DSPs, like, yo, this is. Just the one. You know what that used to be? The mixtape. That was the artist putting out the project that they wanted to put out. When it's album time, I got to work with the label. Yeah, I got you. Because the label knows what works, and we have to

do this. But where it's freedom, and I can do whatever the fuck I want, that's my mixtape. Times have changed. And again, remember, maybe this onslaught doesn't occur if the interview doesn't happen. That's probably, probably blacker now. Like, we maybe just let that album come and go. That's true. There's nothing on any of warrant this attention.

But the interview coupled with the music, now you're asking black people to show too much restraint. You heard the album? To not tease you. Yeah, I heard it. There's nothing. It's fine. it's fine. It's fine.

It's okay. It's not an album I'll ever return to. There's nothing on there that'll make me go back to it. Is it something? And that means it's not a good album, bro. We can say that. But it's not a bad album. See, to me, that's not what that means. If I listen to a project and there's nothing on it, I'm like, all right, you know what,

what, there's nothing I'm going back to this. I took it. It's cool, and I would never hear this again. That's not a good album. I totally. I'm on the total opposite side of that too. Because it's a lot of artists that, and I don't want to throw no artists out there,

but we've covered some albums as of late. We didn't return to it. Yeah, I'm not going back there. But they weren't bad albums. The rapping was superior. I didn't say bad. I just said that means it's not a good album. That's all I'm saying.

I'm not sure that's true. There are albums that are good that just aren't for me, or that I just don't want to, don't have a lot of replay value for me. that I'm not, I mean, I don't want to save names. Like, I can think of a few that we really praised up here. Hey, I could tell you one off the top. I'll say it.

Jay Cole album I have not went back to. And a lot of people have not went back to. But you don't think it's a good album? I don't think it's a good album. Even when I came in here, I said the second disc was cool. I like the second disc. What was going on today? Leave him alone.

That's how he feels, man. He's taken it fair enough. No, I got to stop doing that. I went him on that album. That's the album. We sit here talking around it. I know what he meant. I know what he meant.

We talked about Jake. I actually wasn't talking about J-Cool. I didn't think they were doing it. I was not much of it call. Say it. No. He was rapping his ass, so I won't never come back to that album again. So I was about to ask you, because with the Jack Harlow projects that we've seen, he always

got that slap that'll make you be like, oh, I might have passed that up on the album, but now I hear it outside. You're like, oh, shit, it didn't sound like that on the album to me, but now I'm outside in the club. Now it's the summertime. and the shit come on, you're like, oh, shit. You get what I'm saying? Actually, I was saying, I was saying Cardi.

And I think Cardi made a great album. But I don't, I'm not, I don't return to it a lot. That's just, I don't know. You don't go outside. That might be why. That shit sounds great. Again, it's a great album. That's great.

All I'm saying is not returning to an album doesn't necessarily mean that is not great. That's all I'm saying. Or good at least. Like, good and greater different. Right. I was just speaking to good. That's all. Even that, I feel like for me, it's just like it's almost like a,

a slap in the face to the music industry, the musicians, the songwriters, the fellowship that is filled with musicians, right? Like, there's phenomenal albums out there that we just never going to get to. Like, if it ain't the, if it ain't the Jid and the Waleigh and the ones that we come in here and praise, I think it says more today. It's a higher compliment to say, I continue returning to this album. Oh, true. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. Totally. Then to be like, then to write some of these artists off

because I'm not returning to it. I'm not writing the artists off though. I'm literally just saying I've given this. I'm talking about projects that we've given a chance. I know we miss a lot of stuff or stuff we catch me and listen one time. Giving the project an actual chance

and say, wow, there's really nothing here for me. I understand. And when you do that, I have to accept that this wasn't a good project to me. Got it. Now, not saying, you can't speak for the masses. The masses might love it. If I listen to your project, top the bottom, try to digest it, take it in, pause, and then say, all right, there's nothing here for me.

Then I cannot call that a good project. See, I'll wrap it. Well, with Jack Hart? Okay. And somebody close up. Yeah, I was going to wrap it up. It could be good for me, right? But I don't want to hear it again because I like something else better.

So if I'm driving in my car, that album was cool, it was good. But I just want to listen. I'm going to waste my time listening to something that I enjoy better. It don't discount that. I've written with you a few times. You often go back to the classics. Yeah, I'll listen to the Jazz Z's going to be playing. Meg.

You have a Meg album? No, I don't have a Meg album. Christina Millian. You came and told us. They've been low. They've been down slow. I was trying to do my job. I was trying to do my job and I got ridiculed for it.

So what? So, but Meg is not my go-to-it-at-by-car. No, sorry. Donnell. Donnell. I just wanted to make a jesus I don't judge you I didn't judge you

What it was fair Nick You did You did You pitch It was right there It was right at the room I was just trying to do

My Roots picnic Jayzy Seekle You said it I read the first hook Yeah It's true Yeah

Well before that rock nation You want to go To the other rock nation Say that again Before that rock nation We got to do three We got to do three rock nations Yeah

Yeah You want to get They told me We haven't done one yet Go ahead Will Russell Oh boy Oh boy

As an engineer Parks Got a listener engineers. He did one of his backyard concerts, right? And he said, I've got this song that my engineer begged me not to put out.

Please don't wear this out. Here you go. I ain't going to let you do that. I said, man, you probably should put this. I made this record and I sent it off to my engineer. Oh, my God. And it calls me. He said, man, you probably shouldn't put this out.

I said, why? What the hell happened? He said, you know, you're talking about engineering? There's a lot of shit going on. And I said, thank you for calling me. I thought it was about to be something else. That's exactly why we needed. That stupid-ass laugh should have told you that.

And the goal of a artist is to express the times and discuss, say all the things that nobody else want to say or know how it's at. I ain't when a full of shit, nigger, tell a little bit of truth. I'm not perfect and neither is the president was guilty of, then the nigger hiding evidence. You can't be mad that they heated if you don't let them vent. Even the devil was heaven sin. Oh my God. Even Malcolm was heaven sent. Oh, my God.

Even Martin was heaven sent. Even Kanye was heaven sent. We all heaven's been. Oh, my fucking goodness. Donald, too. Donald took, man. We all heaven sent. Ha!

Stop seeing two. We all heaven since. Michael. Adolf, too. Whoa. We all heaven since. Even you. We all have been sick.

Nigo, put me after eight off. Yo, yo. You know, find a different placement for me. Epstein or to you. Even you. I ain't even like where he put mountain more in the mountain. Especially saying even. Even.

Even. That fucked me up. I said, huh? What? I understand what he was trying to do. He just did it absolutely horribly. The engineer had your best. Yeah.

Just in mind, y'all. You can't go from Satan to Malcolm. Nah. It's saying even. Even. Even the even. Even the word. Even the word of me, man.

What is what is wrong with you? No. Is he? Is he . I think he is. I'm man, we got to bleep that word. Winn' giggas is that. Niggas is that.

To answer your question, it might be, I might be rolling. I'm conflicted on so many levels about this. One, I never saw the Russell as like, a top of hour two type of guy like a artist we got to get into until you do something like this

and I feel like he's going out of his way to insert himself in conversations that are unbecoming yeah this is like from the wayne's take to this the most he's ever been talking about to how he, the big look for Rock Nation to how he handled the backlash

from the Wayne shit. This shit right here, let me make my, let me let me make myself clear. I agree with him about artistic expression. For sure. Absolutely. That is a fact. The great part about that

is an artist is typically able to view something or hear something or see something or draw something or paint something that somebody who is not artistic won't be able to do. So it's brilliant.

If you're going to go out there and say, hey, all of these evil people are heaven sent and we're all made by the same creator. Awesome. Lean on the second part more than the first part. Let me pause you it real quick. Heaven sent doesn't mean made by the creator. Heaven sent means something that's good and fortunate.

Like a stroke of luck. This was Heaven said. Like sit down from heaven. Yeah, like as a good thing. So it's not just like this is made by God. It's a good. So it's actually. That's not the context that he's using.

So you're clearing that up for a lot of people out there. I was know. I was knowing Joe get clipped out of context. He's like, it was heaven sent. You know, like, no, like, don't. That ain't what that means. Yeah, that's not what that means, yeah.

So we think what he was trying to say was these people were made by the same creator. Yes. But he said Heavenson, which has a different definition, which is absolutely horrible. But my thing is, say it better. Say it better. It's a very, okay, we got, hey, we all are made. by God. Yeah.

Now what? Like, what else? Like, it's a very surface level. It's just, it's no thought put into it. It seems like you're just saying something for the clicks, for the attention. Like, if you are artists and you're standing on artistic expression, then when you tell me that these people are made from the creator, then delve deeper into that thought. He should have.

Or be artistic. Or be more artistic in how you deliver it. You got to, you got to make separations. You have to. I could come up with a list of people. that did some fucked up shit and some good shit and say, hey, these people are all having to say. Like, what was the artistic part about that?

Yeah. Yeah. And any one of us in this room could have done that exact same thing. Also, my thing is part of being an artist for me means being more in tune with the times and the people, right, than just the guy that's not. Bad time to do all this. Horrible time. Like, you couldn't have picked the worst time.

We are at war. There's the Epstein fouls. There's too much real shit going on in the universe for you to pop out here and say, hey, all these people are great. Yeah. No, La Russell. No. No. Do you think he's doing it for just more notoriety, conversation pieces?

Do you think that's what it is? I think it was attempt to have conversations. And notoriety is not what you're going to get from this. That's not true. It may be bad notoriety, but. Okay. Yeah. Like, literal.

You'll be notorious. I think he's positioning himself. to not be successful in music. Yeah. Really? That's what it looks like. It looks like he's setting up, this is a great move

if you in the future are about to be some type of political black pundit or just whatever you, I don't know, I don't know. Not rapping. I don't even take that. I think he's been rapping for,

what he said he got 40 albums or something like that. And nobody's talking about me. Yeah, it seems like he's trying to be like Dick Menta. Now, I'm not serious. Seriously. Like it's something. seem like he want to go under a tree on Instagram and just grab bananas and talk about some

things but putting it in song and then if you're going to put it in song make it a good like like like hate to be the bearer of bad news I hate to sound like a moni the songs don't be good that and LaRussell you might be a great guy I've never met you maybe that'll happen one day if I ever go over there at L.A but I just don't get what you doing I don't get it I don't I get it. Even you. I couldn't believe it. Man, we've talked about La Russell more times this year than we ever have.

And it's gotten them what? But a migraine and a sleepless night here and there and to get attacked by a bunch of people who had no idea who you were. Some people take that risk, bro. Some people want that. That's that whole algorithm shit everybody be talking about today. Like some people, all right, cool, my name is in the news cycle now. I'm being mentioned.

I'm on the blogs. I'm on the podcast. All of that shit, I'll take it. If you're able to ignore and filter out the negative, nigga, the fact that you is being mentioned means to some of these people. That's a very low bar. Yeah. Well, well, not, hold on.

Albi is. It is. Low ball, no, no, that's subjective. What's the low about the bar? Once your name is being mentioned, once you have clicks, you're able to present it to companies and show regardless of what it is, just the surface level thing, you're able to present it and get a bag out of it. It's not low.

Engagement and all that shit, yeah. It's not low. He's right. If you're trying to be a... If you're trying to be a... There's nothing that Lrussel just said is going to help him. What I'm saying is that we're saying, but he said, he said, Okay.

He's going to get demonetized. They're going to cite him for hate speech. That's true. They're going to shadow ban him. They're going to not distribute him. That's true. Like what you're saying is true for somebody who said something different. Something stupid.

Yeah. He sounds like somebody that's doing that, but don't know all the... He's going to shadow. Yeah, he don't even know that when I say this. All those things you just said are about to happen. I don't know that. All I know is, okay, cool. Let me do this.

This is going to get me talked about some more. Yeah. And now you're going to bump your head and real. I realized, oh shit, I said a lot of the wrong shit. You think you're standing on business. You think you're standing on business. My producer told me I shouldn't play this, but fuck. That's crazy.

Hey, you saw what they did. Hold on. Listen, listen. Tyler Oliveira was speaking about every different culture getting millions and millions and millions of views. He went and talked about the people in Jersey. You know what you're talking about. It took his Patreon.

Sponsors are hitting them up to take, remove our sponsorship from your description. even from two, three years ago. So when he was talking about the black community, when he was talking about the Somali community, Somali community, excuse me, when he was talking about different communities, they were found with it. But now they took everything.

When he went to Jersey, he did what he did and said that. So, yeah, I get what you're saying. Shadow banning, blocking. He just did a video about it. And it's crazy. And I'm talking about millions of views, tens of millions of views on these things.

Also, like, if you're trying to be a rapper, that seems like what his primary goal is. This is not going to help that. I got you, I got you, box. Got you. If you're trying to be like just an internet personality, maybe this helps somewhere. Got you. You know what else?

New acts need to learn sometime? Shut the fuck up. You ain't always got to say something. You don't always got to be heard or get in the mix. I know with this new age, monetize everything, attention, attention, attention, attention. You feel like that. You don't have to comment on all of it. You don't.

And you know what? It's hard to tell them to shut the fuck up because they, they management teams and they labels and all this is telling them go get hot. And they're watching So they open their Instagram Or they Twitter and they're watching what niggas is talking about What's working? All right I got to go get hot All right let me go jump out there

Yeah, go do something That's a great point that you made, Freeze I'm glad you introduced that terminology here I don't think some of these niggas know What get hot mean or feel like In this new digital era They don't and y'all saying With regards to the labels

They don't have no development When niggas told me to go get hot Granted four score and seven years ago like we was trying to get hot so you'll be thinking that you doing shit and heating up but then you go to the bar I ain't nobody talking to you

nigga ain't anybody playing your music you go to the club you got a waiting line it's like all right you're still not hot and they told me hey you will be the last one to know

when you got hot and sure enough when I started to heat up and then I went outside anytime I ever had heat on my career when I went outside it totally felt different it's a total

it's a nuclear type of feeling its reaction everywhere, it's different treatment. It's fill me up 93 premium. Not 87. It's real shit going on. Some of these people just don't know what

hot feels like. They don't. And again, they try to, but you're being told by your team. So you're trying to manufacture the heat. Yeah. This is a fucking net. Now what I will say, because I saw all the engineers and you engineered people rejoicing. That was funny. I saw everybody.

Everybody raised their hand and said, the engineers be right, and you should listen to your engineer. I agree with that. The engineer is there partly. Even that these artists don't know. Like, the artists think that when you go in there, you're just telling the engineer what to do. And if you got a capable and great engineer,

you should be listening. You should be listening what they have to say. But on the flip side of that, I'll just push back a little bit. Go for it. If you have artist's brain, when you hear, hey, you shouldn't put this out. Sometimes. Sometimes it pushes you. He's totally wrong, and this is a horrible.

This is a mess. He shouldn't listen to his engineer. What's something that they told you not to put out? Come on, man. You already know. You already know. OLS3. Oh, yeah.

No. I didn't tell you. I was in the studio. I said, yo, Parks, are you able to do something with this beat? No, no. We're not going to recreate history. you came in there to record, I think, when it all implodes, and you had been saying how much you loved that fucking

Novacane shit. And I sat there and started chopping, making an instrumental out of it because it didn't exist. This is pre-stems and all that shit. I just chopped up for the thousand little spots. We ended up staying in the studio until two in the fucking morning. Because you made the loop. Because I made the loop.

So now I got it right. And you did it. About my heartache. I never was awesome. Don't put that out. I made that on the spot for you to put that out. People told me not to put it out. Yes.

Not my engineer. Not my engineer. We're not my engineer. I agree with you that sometimes the engineer might be a little safe, but that being said, the engineer producers, the whole career revolves around the success of the artists they're working for, so they typically have your best interest in mind, especially if you're going to come out and say some dumb shit like Epstein was having said.

Parks, when you say, if you're an engineer and you tell him not to put that out. Yeah. You give the why. I would, yes. Because I would feel like if you give the why, like as an artist, even if you got an artist's brain, like you might listen. He told the why. He said it. He was like, yo, engineer said, don't put this out. You talk about this. You talk about that. Like, he said it. He told him.

I thought he was about to, like, say some truths. Right, right. Oh, you might say some things that might make people uncomfortable. It was not in a good way. See, y'all. I was crying on your couch. I was heartbroken. I'm looking like a pussy. No, you look like a crazy person. This era ain't got a, uh, they need a gnaz. They need somebody who could articulate some of the deep thoughts. But La Russell? Sandwiches for that, nigger.

At a time like this. Sandwiches for you, Lord. Did you read any of them six million pages? No, I don't believe so. And also, I cannot confirm that all these niggas come from God. Oh. I can't confirm it. I can't.

If you've read some of that Epstein shit. It's hard to imagine. I don't know that God made these niggas. And even if they do, what's the point is mentioned in it? Why remind us? Yeah. Like, what do you get for that? Yeah.

You got Epstein, Hitler, and J.F. I mean, the MLK in the same. Paragraph. Now what? In saying even before the ones... MLK and Malcolm... That was crazy. And then what...

It's just horribly unpoetic, too. He don't know how words work. Which is crazy for somebody who traffics in words. Yeah. How old is LaRisle? 31. I googled it.

You know, dog? You got... I googled it. I said, oh, this guy. He might be young. Let me give him a... 31. I was going to get him a pass.

Yeah. I was going to give him a pass. No. I was going to give him a pass. Sure. 31. 31. Yeah. LaRas, I'll be honest, I'm probably not going to speak about you up here anymore.

This might be it. I think it's time to put them on a list. This might be it. Yeah, he might be the last. Because it seems too intentional. It's like, I'm doing this so that y'all can talk about me. And now I feel like we get played when we do that. You're not wrong, man.

He's just another one of them names that really never need to enter my orbit unless it has to. Sorry, yeah, man. I can't, I can't. I'm with you? I can't. Don't say I'm having sent after Adolf. Don't put me right after. Just in how you wrote the bars.

Even you. Even you. Anyway. That shit was ass. Yes. Long story short, that shit was ass. They didn't hopped on stage and hopped off stage and probably sent the fucking WID text or went to get a burger from somewhere. He probably just went on about his day after that bullshit.

That's what made me mad. He probably just went and had a hell of a day after that. Like, I know. I shouldn't have to see that and then you get to go have a great day. I have to imagine that someone else

in that crowd might and say, hey man, your engineer was right. When you say, you know, let me go ahead and put this on my

Instagram. I can't imagine anybody heard that and told him it was a good idea. Right. Even after the first 100 listens and something,

yeah, just delete. Like, you can always think a step back. I wouldn't listen that shit a hundred times. No,

I meant like a hundred people gave feedback on your on your social media. Like, you know, everybody had to say this is terrible. He did that shit with no drums.

Word. Some nice little rose. That's the wild. He wanted you to. Some nice keys. LaRessel, I'm praying for you, Bob. I'm praying for Dick Minter. Because that's what it seemed like he's trying to be D1 or somebody.

Like a corrupt D1. I don't know. In more Rock Nation news, I'll toss it to our good brother, Mark. Go ahead, Mark. Roots Picnic has been announced. They've been hitting at it for months now, but they finally announced that the Roots Picnic on May 30th, 20th, 2016, in the world's greatest city of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia will be headlined by Jay-Z. It's a big deal. 25th anniversary of reasonable doubt. 30th, excuse me, 30th anniversary of the blueprint. It's also the 18th anniversary of the Roots Picnic. It's going to be a big deal, man. Everybody's going to be there. Have they ever done this before?

Announced just one person? Usually they put the lineup out, right? Usually they say, yeah, they say like, he is the lineup, Nick. Is that something? about what? Usually you have more names. This is the show.

They ain't put no podcast, people, nothing. There's nothing. It's going to change coming. Hold. Yeah, what? It's all you need.

Sold out. It's all you need. They already said, don't ask me for no freebies, no comps. They moved to a new venue too, right? Yep, they're going to be at the Belmont Plateau.

I bet. They're better. A place called the Plateau. What is the Belmont Plateau? And what is, how different is it from the old venue? It's a place everybody go. Everybody.

Fresh Prince. It's a summertime reference. It's the Belmont Plateau is up in West Philly. You didn't just hit me with a summertime. Yeah, that's what it is. That's what he talked about. They call it the plat.

It's 2026. I'm sorry. It's the last good verse he made. That freestyle. Action style. Oh, we got to play that freestyle. No, we got to play that. We got to play that.

I'll go out. No, please. Or you keep talking. I'm going to get to research. Anyway, they told me I couldn't keep chewing, but I did. What is that? I just bid on more than I can chew, and I chewed it. Can we get about the Belmont Plateau?

It's all about the Belmont Plateau. Anyway, over the last couple years, it's been in different spots. You used to be down to Delaware Ave. This is a space that's going to be much more wide open, much more free flow, and it's going to be much more conducive to what people want. The people spoke the last couple years and said, we want a new venue. Last year specifically. Yeah, last year specifically.

Yeah, through that problems they had it. So the great thing about them is that they listen. That's great. And it's going to be a great event. So. You'll be there? Will I be there? You have so many interests in this.

Philadelphia, Rock Nation. That's right. Roots. Everything. You know, Mom? Inshallah, I'll be there. Nice. A lot of things going on that day, but I'm going to do my best to make it.

Well, luckily, I have filed the freestyle. This clip is only 23 seconds. But I feel like that might be enough. I want to hear it. I kind of want to hear it. Long as the chew-it line is in there, I'm fine. Last me how I do it. Hey.

I want it and I can chew. Then I chew it. Yeah. Y'all Dukas thought I blew it. I booked a pin out the grenade on purpose when I threw it. And even though I'm an action star. Hey. Sometimes I'm a act bizarre.

Hey. Because I'm an artist at high. Let's go then. I'm not just an actor, y'all. You know what the fun. I know he got killed and clown for that freestyle, but over a different beat, I think it works. Different flow.

I think it was. Because the beat would have changed the flow. It sounds like old Luda. Don't do that. The flow. It's like, oh yeah. Luda. Anything Luda jump on the internet and say the internet,

oh, he's the old whipping. Now, he be body and shit. That verse was ass, but I don't want to lose sight of the fact that Will Smith, aka Fresh Prince, is a rap. legend. And he deserves all the respect and love of the world as an artist. That shit was ass, but Fresh Prince is the legend. Of course. I'll just want

put that out there. Because he's young as forget. Yeah. They weren't there, though. Yeah. I see y'all trying, y'all are trying to hide y'all JZ excitement to look cool on camera. Especially ish. I'm not excited about it. I'm excited. You going down there? The people that are

excited, this is your time to be excited about it. You can be my man plus one? Oh, shit. Again. I'm just saying Mark invite you down Would you go? I'm writing him down. No, not like that.

Like we go wrong. I'm going to roll. It's just a good plus one. You're a cold. You are a fire plus one. Yeah, you don't talk too much. You can play your part. You don't drink.

You don't eat a lot. You don't drink. Yeah, you're a fire plus one. You just be quiet and staying over there. Like Ava man used to do. And you're green eyes. That's you? Yeah, you're presentable.

You know how to dress. He might go down there body shit, though. Presentable. Yeah, you're presentable. He's gonna pie down there. Ain't gonna par down there. It's just a good plus one. Oh, thank you, Miss Brian.

Hey, Mr. Biden. Hey, I'm here to represent all my brothers. You know? He's gonna start pop. But then he's gonna eat shit again. Yeah, that's good. It's gonna be lit. All y'all going up?

I'm not going. I'm not. I'm not. Let me see what that day is. Saturday Pirates. Why you don't go to that shit, Joe? They don't go to that shit, Joe. They know you.

They know you. I don't know you that much. It's for no reason. I just rather not. You don't want to be seen. The people. the commute. Because remember last year,

when you started going out and stuff, you said you're going to, you know, make an effort to go to more events and stuff like that. You said that. Well, yeah, I didn't mean a picnic. Oh, okay. Got it. I support the Roots Picnic.

I love the Roots Picnic. I support the Root's Picnic. But, yes, it's not for me. I'm not going. Well, for you, for you, Hove lovers, and ICE was telling me this, so I will give credit words to do. There's probably some other opportunities

to see Jay Z potentially. That's what I'm waiting for. That's what I'm waiting for. That's why, I mean, this is great. Be clear, I don't want to sound like I'm shitting on this or nothing. This is not the announcement I'm waiting for. I know we're getting something in June. Yeah, this announcement has me excited about why this was announced.

Yep, right. I'm not excited about this. It's not for me fucking bring your skin so soft and your mosquito talent. And hopefully the speakers are working great and y'all are bribing out. I'll see the clips on Instagram. But whatever he's building up to, I'm excited about. That's what I'm excited about. I'm hoping that that's music.

I'm hoping that's a... You'll see him at the Barclays, the Prudential Center, all that. I don't think he's, I think he's going to be at the Barclays for eight, nine shows. Really? Yeah. During the 30th anniversary of reasonable doubt, and it's going to be some amazing shit that you're just going to have to catch. Got you. And for it to be the 30s.

No, I don't think so. I think music is going. He ain't doing all that. He ain't leaving his house. And all I should have been doing with the DSPs and all that. Them niggas is calculated. He's doing all that. shit with the DSPs.

Putting all the old music out there. Yeah, not. The vinyl, everything. But again, that's the icing on top of the cake for me, if it's new music. I'm cool seeing reasonable doubt 30-year anniversary show and he's going to go all out. I'm fine with that. And I think he's past that point where he has to, like, I remember back when Prince came to Philly and did like, he was going to multiple cities.

But Philly did like five or six days in a row in like around 2004-2005. He didn't need on new music. He's Prince and he'd been around for decades. Jay Z's 30th anniversary. I don't think he needs to do. He opens the barclays with eight shows. We don't need to debate that. He's a legend legacy act.

He doesn't need new music. I'm going off of what I think some of what young guru has said in the past has or not said, rather, has given me new music vibes. I'm going off of Memphis Bleak. What he has said, what he has not said. He said it and took it back. Yeah, I'm going off of the recent Fat Joe. A, Fat Joe's got a Jay-Z verse on some song that's coming out. I don't think he just got out of bed to go to Fat Joe session and do a verse, and that's it.

He's in rap mode. He's done the whole anniversary show, his whole career. Nothing special is. He did. He did reasonable doubt. He did. He did the unplugged. He did.

I'm just saying he's popped out with a, with, you know, with a boutique show. Yes. 30 is a big one. His old fucking career. 30 years, no new music. You see what this shit look like out here. You own and run a streaming company.

I just spent a year, followed my wife around, watching her kill shows. I want to rap now. He wants to rap. He wants to rap, yo. He wants to rap. He doesn't want to just pop out.

And you think he's doing all these shows and he's not going to give you an a cappella verse that you never heard before. Oh, so that's going on. Do you think he put his pen away after that? I think we get a guest verse somewhere. Answer me, do you think he dropped his pin after he finished that verse? When he finished that verse.

The acapella that he's going to do at whatever show. Did he tuck his bick away? No, I think he also penned a verse that he's going to give to somebody. I think there's a whole verse. Like he's been doing over the last couple years. I don't think we get, again, I would love to be wrong on this. But I don't think we get in a whole album. I think this is all reasonable doubt,

Even the thing with the name changed, putting the omelot back over his name. Even shit like that. I think this is all an old to old JZ. That's what I'm feeling. And I think he's going to give you some. You think an album's coming? I do. I hope you're right.

I would love to, I would love a new whole album. Especially to watch The Taste of 4-44 out of my mouth, for us. I think he's acting. You're not coming to the brunch, man. I think he's out. No, I wasn't coming to the brunch anyway. They just unblocked me. Who?

Rock Nation. We good now. He's still into that. The anti-44-4 should fucks me every time. But yeah, I'll... Yeah, that's another take I can't get with that, him and Parkshire. Me too? Parkshire's that?

Oh, Enish. Me too. Well, Parkshire is that because of how it was mixed. Okay. Me too. It wasn't good. I've listened to too many projects with bad mixing for that to beat something a hill I die on.

Yeah. He's not wrong, but like that I ain't not loving the album because it's not mixed. That ain't my reason. I know that's what I'm saying. One of the biggest, if not the biggest rapper in the world. coming out to say, I cheated on the biggest R&B person in the world. She almost left.

This is how I got through it. This is how we survived. I learned so much toxic shit from music. I had so much toxic shit for my family and upbringing that I didn't even realize. This is how it's affecting me today. We would never hear that message again. We would never hear it again from anywhere. So even if I had a problem with the music,

what he did and how that hit at the time, coming off lemonade? Ain't, right? Wasn't that coming off with me then? It was. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We ain't never going to see nothing like that again.

But I get it. Y'all don't like that. Yeah. I don't want to see you like that again. I'm not getting. Yeah, I think new music is coming. I do. And I'm excited about it.

Indeed. Me too. Indeed. Again, I would love it. I also would be okay if it was just a tour or something like that. That's fine, too. I don't think it'll be a tour. I think it was a lot to say.

I think it was a lot to say. No, shows in New York, right? Mm-hmm. I think he got a lot to say. I'm sure I think he has a lot of shit to say I think he's gonna be addressing some people addressing oh yeah

society address You know what I mean Like I'm older now I've been in every room That you can imagine I think he just got a lot to say Yeah and hopefully Jalek is not on this one No hopefully Jalek is on this one

Oh please no Please Yeah like hate too Keep him in wherever Keep him where he is Way over there Keep him far away from His project coming out soon too

That's cool And a Jalike Good that's fine It's good money It's great money. Good bread. Great money. Now, the whole album together, I'm with you.

I'm not the biggest fan of that. But J.L. Like, guess verse is great. That will never, I will never hear Slater on that. And I like Jaylect trying to solo shit. I know you're a fan. That's why I don't know how you didn't love written testimony. I just don't love that album. You didn't like it even?

That's a whole album, my fault. Yeah, yeah. I'll tell you. I just think that, I just think if you do a joint album, I think, good. I think, no, I just think y'all gotta be, somebody got catch up. And I just think he got outwrapped so badly.

And you know I like Jay Electron. I just think he got outwrapped so badly that it wasn't, it didn't make fun. It'll all be fixing a new one. I got to end with his management. He's gonna be great. It's gonna be great. It didn't say Patrick, sir. What did you all think?

Did you hear Jaylon Rose's new, uh, controversy is commentary? Who? Jalen Rose. No. He said something controversial? I'm curious to know what y'all think about it. He did an interview and he was talking about the NBA. Did he say how he felt about Bam?

I'm sure he's happy. That's what I want to hear. Ask him. How do you feel that Bam got 83? No he's not. No he not. Why do you say that? He all had.

You know he was going guarding Kobe. I know he wasn't guarding nobody. Clearly nobody's going to be. I still think that Jalen Rose is a stand-up dude and a basketball purist, and I don't think that he would have appreciated that. No, we're just talking about because now y'all can't troll me with 81 or more. Fair enough. But we ain't talking about that.

That's not what it was. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Jaylon Rose said the only sports that have salary caps are black lead, first off. So that's basketball and football. Those are the only sports with salary caps. Baseball, golf, NASCAR, tennis, you can keep naming. They do not have a salary cap. that's the first thing.

The second thing is, I'm reading this word for one. He said tennis? Yeah. He said baseball, golf and NASCAR tennis, you can keep name and they do not have a salary cap. He said, the second thing is they have no after high school restrictions. He said, so that's a residue of slavery. Because we're going to get money off of you for multiple years for free.

That's the part they got people up in an uproar. One, the analysis, whatever, but then two, him saying, it's the residue of slavery. People don't like slavery comparisons a lot of times in general, but they definitely don't like it when it comes to sports. I mean, the argument has been made for a long time with the football, basketball

after high school requirement because it was just a way. I mean, they pointed off as saying that it's a real physical jump from high school physicality to the pros. I would agree with it in football, right? But in basketball, I wouldn't, because some of our greats have skipped college

and went on to be Kobe, KG, like Tracy, like it was a bunch of people that skipped LeBron that skipped college and went on to be some of the best basketball players we've ever seen. In football, I will, I understand it, but it was still based around money. There's so much money in college sports that they want the greats from high school

to at least do a year or two in college so that we can benefit off you in college. And again, this is pre-NIL. So they wasn't paying them at that point in time So we could benefit off you in college And then send you to the pros We're going to benefit off you again And the two primary sports

Where the blacks dominate were the only ones That was an argument that's been going around For a long long time The slavery I mean the salary cap argument It's kind of new I think just business is going to be business I think NHL has a salary cap don't

I'm not sure It's a that's a great question I don't know I believe it does I think it's a soft phone but I'm not sure. And baseball is still minority-led. Yes, the NHL has a hard salary cap.

It's a hard cap. Okay. It's predominantly minorities. Oh, that play. That play. Yeah. I agree. And I don't know why golf and tennis were in the conversation.

I don't mean to have a slow moment here. So salary cap, but it hasn't always been. I wouldn't know. No, I'm just saying. So if you, I mean. Oh, duh. Yeah. So it hasn't always been.

So from. when black started to dominate football and basketball, we've been dominating them ever since. Also, there's no season with golf and tennis. There's no team. And there's no team. And it's a little moot in that particular argument. I'm not bad at his general slavery point.

I'm not mad at that, but how he got there. I see. What do you guys, what do you guys think of? NASCAR, too. It ain't know. Yeah. What do you guys think of the NBA Board of Governors? voting on the expansion teams.

They say they're going to hold a vote, but it's as good as a done deal for the most part. Those teams being, those cities being Vegas and Seattle, I'm extremely happy that Seattle is back in play. I felt like Seattle never should have lost their team. It's an amazing sports city. So I'm really happy for them. Vegas remains to be seen, but. I'm not mad at that. Vegas is a big market.

Yeah, they should have a team. Yeah, they should have a team. I do think that the NBA isn't the most interesting product right now, so expanding it is a little iffy to me. Then they say Minnesota or Memphis might come to the Eastern Conference now. Do you think expanding it brings more viewers' parks? Maybe, but again, I don't think the product as it stands right now is the greatest. They got to fix basketball.

The NBA's expansion draft rules, if it were to expand to Seattle and Las Vegas in the 27-28 season, teams can protect eight of their players. Teams can't protect players on expiring contracts or restricted free agents. Sure. Expansion teams will get to quote unquote steal unprotected players from teams.

Only one player taken per team. Contracts transfer to the amount they are already agreed to and expansion teams get high chances at the number one pick. I remember this with Orlando and Miami

and Yeah. I mean, the NBA has done a really good job historically of getting expansion teams into the mix. If you think about how successful the heat franchise has been, you know what I mean, to be this young to have that many final appearances. Orlando has been to the finals. Toronto won a championship in Memphis, which was Vancouver. We're very competitive. So they get them into the mix.

My issue with it is what Parks was just alluding to, which is now you're adding more players into a league that's already watered down. Is the league watered down or the product is... I think it's both. Is it water down or do you feel like... If you ask a lot of the old heads, the structure of it is... I think it's both. I think if you ask a lot of old head basketball players,

and I mean like our generation, like the Charles Barclays and they'll say a lot of these guys can't play. You know what I mean? It's more shooting, you say. Well, no, no. So there's a style of play issue, but then there's a question that just

there's a lot of guys that aren't that good. Got it. And when you have expansion... I was a Sixers fan when we were just putting anybody on a team during that 10-win season. Now you're going to add a bunch of teams. You're going to add four more teams.

There's going to be more of that. There's going to be a lot of bad nights, a lot of bad basketball. And it's hard to watch when everybody's, to your point, playing this new style where everybody's jacking up threes. I just think it might not be a good product. But I think it's great for those cities.

I'm glad those cities are getting teams. I think the product suffered more because there's not many killers no more. Yeah. Like we're friends. I'm not trying to take your head off. We're out here having a good time. Let's go play.

Go to club after this. And that changes the product. Yeah. slavery. You know, for a few weeks, I've been asking you guys why Houston Spring Break has been written on the board. No one really gave me a straight answer. Yeah, I've been trying to.

What is it at? I don't see it. It's been up there for weeks and weeks and weeks. We never got to it. And I never really got an answer that I was happy with as to why it was written up there. But God is good. Yeah.

I've seen it myself. Yeah. And I was confused because I'm old now. Shout out to the college kids. Shout out to you spring break. Kids out there having a blast. Shout to Houston. I'm not going to be the old guy

to come tell you. Y'all really missed out on some good spring breaks back in the day. I feel for you college kids now. So apparently Miami shut down because y'all was out there being niggerish. So they closed down the beaches, closed down some businesses,

regain control of their town because those people that pay millions and millions and millions of dollars to live on the beach don't want to wake up and see y'all pissing in the same. And y'all was out there bucking. It was bugging out.

Y'all was out there shooting people, stabbing people. So Miami did what they had to do, and this was a little while ago. See, I forgot about this. I forgot that they did that. They started with the curfews, remember? Yes.

Started curfews, and then after that, they just started shutting it down. Nope, now you can't come down here at all. So now I've been going back and forth with my girl trying to get her to help me, because she's got kids going to college. Help me understand how all the college kids picked Houston of all the places to go to in the world.

And she keeps telling me, because of the weather. And I'm saying, that don't make sense to me. And prices. Help me, help me, help me with that. It's domestic. I think is the short part. Houston's lit in beautiful city. Like, it's a fun party city.

And it is, it's not like tropical, but it's nice. Yeah. But if you had your pick for spring break to pick anywhere to go, I just don't get how you would land on Houston. Well, Houston is, again, lit, weather, it's domestic. So now... Demestic will support nothing.

Exactly. Everybody ain't got the passport or the capability to fly international. We're talking about college kids. They don't have a college kids. But I see somebody, they got in town and rented a U-Haul

because it was like, yo, 1995 plus miles versus renting a car. We're going to rent this U-Ha. And they used a U-Haul while they was in Houston. There was his budgeting, bro. And although Texas is somewhat conservative, like Florida now has a reputation has been in a place you don't want to be.

And it's costs. Florida costs. Right. L.A. costs. If you're doing weather, you don't want to go to somewhere where the weather's shitty for spring break. Exactly. So you really got Florida, Texas, California. Right.

In Texas is in the middle. Texas is in the middle. Texas is in the middle. It's cheaper than the other two. Mm-hmm. Like, college kids can't afford to be standing in these high-ass L.A. hotels. You can't afford to be staying?

You know what I'm saying? If you're a college kid during spring break, is it important to you to be where all the other college kids are going to be? Absolutely. If I'm a college kid, absolutely. All right, so that's the biggest draw of at all. If every college all over says we go into Houston, I can see somebody going to Houston.

Every clip I've seen, it don't look like a good time. At all. At all. Over real? Nothing about it. Nothing about it looks fun. Did you see the line that, Sakai? An absolute mess.

An absolute mess. You're saying that with 45, 41-year-old brain. With 22-year-old brain, line means everybody, all these bad, chicks in the line. You're getting 22 year old breaks in the line. That's the other thing about

what happened. You know, the girls, y'all get the spring break versus the girls we had for spring break. Houston on a norm got bad chicks. But they might not be outside.

Listen, I don't know what the fuck y'all niggas are talking about. Houston, the same way that they're not set up, the infrastructure is not set up to receive a lot of snow. It's also not set up to receive a lot of people. It's also not set up.

Yeah, that's kind of way what I'm going to. So the line is Sakai, like he said, wrapped multiple times around the block. They charge in three to 600, three to 700 per head for you to get in there. Most of y'all are not getting in there. So now y'all got to go migrate to the gas station that's up the street.

And now I'm watching your party at the gas station. There's not been one clip of spring break in Houston that looks fly or lit, which made me say, if I was in, I'd be in San Diego, I don't care if no other colleges here. I would be, I wouldn't. Oh, maybe you? I wouldn't.

But now like we saying, that gas station shit looked lit to them, niggins. Oh, they're up there at the gas station? Let's go. We cover Freaknik when niggas was jumping out of cars in the middle of traffic. Freaknick was the greatest time ever, damn near. So if I could take this bad chick around the back of the gas station

and get right to the nigga, that's 20, that's something. Houston, when there's no event. Right. The gas station is a contradiction. Houston, when there's no event, the popping brunch line might be too long for you. So now you just adding thousands and thousands. I don't know.

Hey, you like it. I love it. That shit looks a mess. That's some young people shit, right? They'll go out there. They'll go out there. Out there in them lines, they're having a blast. Would you send your kid out there?

No, I'd be scared. I would be terrified. I didn't go to spring break now, but she didn't want to go there. She ended up going to California and Mexico. I was about saying Mexico. If you got money, then I just like. Abiza, Tulum, all of that stuff is...

Oh, it's a lot. It's a big stretch from Houston. No, that's what you're saying. If you got the money, these kids, you ain't got to deal with them options

that anybody else is playing with. You can go over there. But it's not... Yeah, maybe I'm just seeing a brook spring break. But he's a loner, yeah. He's a loner.

No, he's an elitist. I'm not elitist. No, that's not being elitist. That's not being elitist. You are. You said you're seeing you're seeing a broke spring break. I said maybe that's what I'm saying.

No, that's what you say in. You want to be around other college kids. That's what niggas's been doing. Guess what? Most of the niggas in college are broke. Broke. Yeah. You broke is fucking college.

So guess what? We're going to find a way to make this broke shit lick. So y'all went to college, so we look at it different. Yeah. Ramen and ketchup is spaghetti. For me, the niggas that was broke.

Didn't get to go to college. It's a different kind of broke too. Yeah, it's levels. Yeah, we're looking at a different. He was in college broke. Spring break. You was getting to wherever the mix was. Right.

You got that. Even when nigg was in. Niggas went down the spring break Piling up in a room All right Give me some of y'all's greatest Y'all have been to spring breaks What was some of y'all greatest

Spring break memories? See my favorite spring break memories Is still like freak nick memories Yeah Like Virginia. And I was in Atlanta Virginia Beach shit like that

That's when niggas will go You're just naming places Like what happened I mean just lit nigga Just had fun Not saying on air But it's good times Went on the college campus

Yes. Why? I'm waiting to hear why. Hands of Parks. And ice. Seriously. Because you keep calling me a elitist. The Clevelander. When I was-

My nigga was doing his numbers. When I was young, I had a little bit more money than I had to stay in the Cleveland. It's not nothing to say. Ain't no wrong with that. Yeah. You know what I need it. That's elitist.

You know what I need from you? That's not true. You know what I need from you. That's not true. Tell them. Tell them. Tell them. I need a.

Yes, I've traveled places broke. Not Miami. Wasn't one of the places. Got it. Got it. Got you. I've been to Virginia Beach and stayed at one of the little bullshit hotels on the strip before.

It was a bunch of them, a whole heap of them. I've been there. When I will start going to Miami, God, thank God, I ain't have to stay in no flea shit. Right, exactly. Pax's moving. Okay, no matter where I stayed in Miami, I've done struggle trips, I've done trips

where I was doing okay. No matter where I was at, I was going to spin through the Cleveland dirt around 3 a.m. see what was going on out there. At the little, they had a little seats. They did a little cafe strip. They had a little fake party, the window you can see through,

have to do it. I have to do it. We have to do it. We lost a legend. We lost a legend. The great Kiki Shepherd passed away today or last night. Suddenly, actually, a massive heart attack. I know people who were in communication with her over the last few weeks, so it seemed very sudden. People were talking. She had a golf tournament schedule. She was in good health. This nigga is such a liar. I'm sorry. What the fuck? I'm sick of his life. I can't do that. Yo, everybody did die. He just talked to him. No, I didn't talk to her.

I said I talked to somebody who talked to her. He just said that. Same shit. It's not. All right, fine, you know. He won that, James. I just spoke to her. I did not just speak to her.

How you know everybody? You took a funny. All right. I'm just going to, let me first step by reading something from Roland Martin. I'm sad to see Kiki Kiki Shepard passed away. She was 74. I just saw her February 12 at the NBA All-Star Game Gospel Celebration. She asked me to play her in her annual golf tournament.

I said yes and we traded numbers, rest in peace. So that was where I was getting it from. I just didn't want to shout out another platform. Oh, so you're leaning on Roland Martin connects. Yeah, yeah, that's what reporting is. You have sources. Thank God for Roland Martin. Thank God for Roland Martin.

But, yeah, we lost a legend, Kiki Shepherd yesterday. She died of a massive heart attack. Seemed to be sudden by all indications. Any black person in America knows who Kiki Shepard is because they know Showtime at that. the Apollo, which is a staple of black culture. It's a staple of our tradition of music and performance. And while the show has had lots of hosts, there's really only been one co-host.

And that co-host is Kiki Shepherd. And I'm using the word co-hosts because a lot of times we think of her just as the person on stage, just the person telling people to rub, you know, for good luck. But she was more than that. She would help produce the show. She helped break acts and talent. There are so many acts of all. but especially black and brown artists who broke because of the O'Palo and she was a big part of that.

She was incredibly gifted and talented herself. She's a Howard University grad, a business administration degree. She was part of the DC reper. She helped start the DC Repertory Dance Theater. She acted. She's in stage plays like, Mama I want to sing, which most of us know from my generation. She was even in the Whiz. She had a role. I mean, she was an incredible dancer, actor, singer. She just did everything as a lot of people from that generation. did even when they didn't get credit for it. But she was also like our imaginary idol, our imaginary girlfriend, imaginary wife, imaginary mom, and at some point imaginary auntie, you know, history will remember Vana White, but she was our Vana White, except she was bigger and more important to us at a time where there weren't more of us.

You know, she was on TV when nobody was on TV. She was a model when there were no other models. And I just, you know, I'm glad that. Her name will be remembered, but it's going to be remembered not just for what she did on that stage, but what she did across every aspect of her life. She was a philanthropist. She was a giver. In fact, I don't know if you know, she was having a golf tournament just next month's schedule,

which is going to raise money for charity. So, you know. Hopefully they still have it. Yeah. Yeah, hopefully they still have it. So, you know, rest in peace to our now ancestor, Kiki Shepherd was a life well lived, and we honor and love her. We love you, Kiki.

Rest and peace. Thank you. Now you're gonna front. Mark made you do know a couple people to know where he killed this. He knew what he knew what he knew facts that wasn't like he did he do it. He did. You can't fuck with Mark you or Jesus. Never.

Now he, he did them shit right. We can't do them like that. You too immature. Yeah. Let's see here. I have a question for you. Yeah. I don't know.

I don't think too. No. They just tried to push her out of the wheeled fortune. Yeah, they got her out of that. They tried to get it out of there. She tried to get that past Ajax money. I think she's still there. They're fighting over the money right now.

No, it's a money fight. Yeah, but she's there on kibbles and bits. Oh, speaking of her looking sweet, the Queen Latifah looked amazing at the awards. Oh, Dana White against Dana White. Yeah. Wait. What is going on to the...

I told you I'm slow. Has the word actress been removed from the database? Because I noticed that we're not calling women actresses anymore. We're considering them actors. Is that a thing? I've seen that a lot. I think some people are trying to go more gender neutral, which I don't think actor is. To me, it's what I'm saying.

So what do you do? I'd say a lot of people still use actors. I think it's just a preference thing in a lot of spaces. Okay. Yeah. They certainly still do it at the bigger wars. It was like Oscars. So they say actress?

They still say actress, yeah. Don't worry, audience members. You will not get a. Paradise Review from me this week. Did you watch it? I've seen it. Okay. You don't want to keep hating.

I mean... I thought this one was pretty good. This one was pretty good now that they got back to some of the characters that we give a fuck about and some of the storylines that we were waiting on continuance from. I have a quick question. Do you all still just call him, Randall? Yeah, or Sterling. I don't know.

What is his name in this shit? Xavier. Oh, I don't call him that. No, I don't call him. at all. It's Randall or Sterling. I'm gonna tell you. I have nothing to say because you guys killed me for giving you paradise reviews, especially when I said that the wife shouldn't have slid with homeboy and the kid

looking for safety when the world was coming to an end. For me, it was satire, kind of, but you guys made valiant. I will keep my paradise reviews to myself until the end of the show. I thought this was excellent. No need to make mention of how dude tried to kill Homeboy. Who couldn't, hey. Almost got away with it too. Who couldn't?

Hey. Oh my God. Do you saw that? I mean, I'm not going to say that I saw that. but when you and your wife are separated, the guy that she normally, the guy that slides in right after you, he normally doesn't have your best interests at all.

I think the circumstance. The first thing he said when you're seen to do was I love your wife. She's my best friend. They've taken her from me. They ain't they've taken up from him. And they didn't take her. Yeah, but Ed is like,

and now you show up as the husband, the husband that could fight, the husband that's a trained agent, who couldn't have seen that this dude would try to kill him. That's all I got to say about it. He put a little too much faith in it, bro. Yeah, come on, because he's fat.

Nah, I think he was shit. I think he honestly been shitting on a homeboy the whole time. Treating that nigga like a da-d-d-da-da-da-d-un. Yo, you're going to just sit here and do nothing. Shut up. He gave him the trigger for the bomb. He wouldn't let him touch a baby, my nigga, like, oh, niggas.

Sit over there. Yeah, yeah, sit your dumb ass down. Like, that's how he'd been treating home. What episode you have to now? It's six. It's two left. I'll tell you this. And they've been already renewed for the third season, which many think will be their final.

Well, it is their final. They said it. But I was going to say, you could kind of tell it ain't being received the way they might have thought. The fact that they even had Sterling K. Brown up there with the signs. With the signs. announcing season three. We in the middle of season two. He's holding the signs in front of the camera like Homeboy was in front of the bunker.

Yeah, see, I think they rolled it out so slow and there's so much ground to cover that it really needs 10 episodes. Yeah, I would agree. You know what I'm saying? I think in these 10 episodes instead of eight, then they could have really got their shit off on the last two. I think, yeah, it's just moving super slow. The way they keep tying it back into Paradise to hear, it's just a lot of ground to cover and they need more episodes for me. It's fine. I'm already on down to Fox St. Louis.

Thank you. Let's get a great team. Let's get to great. Are you caught up? Y'all want to move slow with fucking season to a paradise. I'm on DTF St. Louis now. Jason Bateman, you did it again. Are you caught up?

Yeah. Three episodes got right to it. The first episode, I was like, this is fucking weird. The second episode, I was like, this is weird, but I might be into this. The third episode was amazing TV. That last episode was amazing. I'm here. I like, I like, touch y'all after one.

I like dark humor, so I was with it, but it was weird. It was weird. There's a lot of weird shit. No, this shit is kind of a comedy. bro that position where she's on like what is it called the Amazon

no the power or something yeah power Amazon no he was telling her to say powerhouse powerhouse but the position was the Amazon

oh okay that can't be a comfortable position not at all as I was watching I'm like this doesn't look like it's fun

at all I knew dude was some weird shit when he's like yo I just want you to sit on my face but like go on about your day

go on about your business and make your phone calls and handle your business I was like some ice shit this show is really really, really good. It's really, really good. With every episode, what I'm enjoying, with every episode, the guy to die, becomes more likable. Yeah, for sure, for sure. Although

he's extremely likable every step. Every time you learn something new about this guy, he was, you like him. You're mad that he's the one that died. Word. Also, what I thought was interesting, and I'm not going to give the whole show away, because it's really that of a show you should watch it. But when Jason Bateman and Homeboy's wife was at the show watching him do the sign, watching him do the, yeah.

And she was like, yo, I love my man. She's probably a love him. I love him. We're not working. I know me and you did, whatever, but I'm gotta, like, as someone that's cheated before, them highlight in that moment

that, yo, I'm out here with the person that I'm fucking. We held hands for a quick second, but I'm re-falling in love with my partner, and I don't want to continue to do this. That shit is hard, yo. It's hard. They're killing so much about this. All the actors, I don't remember Homeboy's name, but I don't know if you were privy to any of the Lily Allen T.

Lily Allen, the British singer. He was married to do, the dude that died. He was also in Stranger Things. She made a whole diss album about him on some OLS shit. Oh, I had no idea. She's running around touring wearing dresses with his receipts from dates where he was cheating on her. Like, she's going absolutely crazy. I think she's losing now, though, because he is crushing this fucking role.

In real life, a lot of us ain't know about that shit. And just how they focus on how two couples are going through dry spells in their sex lives for different reasons. The reasoning was funny. It's like, yo, the psychology behind that. That'd be real shit, though. It's so deep. He's saying, yo, dog, she's an umpire now. She's got the job as an umpire.

She's got on this umpire outfit. And why would I want to fuck the umpire? He's like, I can't. And she's like, dog, I'm an umpire because you're broke. I had to get a job, you broke bastard. And we're not fucking because I didn't even know there was a word for when your dick is curved like that. Peronis. Peronis?

This show is a trip. It is a super trip. She can't fuck him because his dick is curved. And he's got medicine. He got to take this. What is going? This show is nuts. It's nuts, but it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's

Getting more serious and better the further you get into it. Like it started off quirky and weird and dark humor and I'm like, okay, this is cool, but I don't know how this is going to play out. That's another one of my favorite things about the show. I'm normally pretty good about guessing who did what and who the killer is. No idea. I'm on the wife. I'm on the other wife.

Because they won't show her anymore. I think she did it. They ain't shown her since episode one. She only had two little cameos so much. I think she found out. and it's setting them up. I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at the wife.

I haven't seen her enough. Jason's wife. Yeah, Jason's wife. But the wife that was cheating looks pretty guilty after this last episode. I'm going to do whatever it takes. Yeah, after this last episode, it's almost like they want you to believe

it's his wife. For sure. Or him or his wife, and it's like too easy. And it's like, I can't, no, I think it's the wife. Like even from where they found out about the Jambaju shit where you sat there and ordered them shit over and over and over and over and over and over. waiting for him to get there, like, or some creep shit.

And she's been saying, she's been playing him the whole time. And now she keeps mentioning, oh, insurance. I have insurance. I need you to do that. Like, he's such a sucker that he's going along with this shit, not knowing. And I think she just setting them, I mean, it's dressed up like she's walking him down the path. For them to even highlight that, I thought was amazing. Right?

Like, oftentimes as committed men, once you cheat, you just got a rear, you just got a rear whatever comes with. You cheated. You're a horrible person. And you'd be like, oh, but it wasn't me in. And you throw all the lines out there. This show is showing you how a dude could be minding his own fucking business. She targeted that, I thinker. Yes.

She really did. Watermelon breeze. He's also a terrible friend. Go get her. Yeah, the go get her. Watermelon breeze. She was a watermelon breeze. Yes, a little hot ass.

These girls be hot to try. And he had no clue. Of course he was going to fucking. the girl. She came in Jamba Juice every morning the same time I did and ordered the same drink as me and played Ivy games with me. You gotta fuck the girl. Even if it's my best friend's girl, he should have not fucked her. They dirty talk was wild. Their dirty talk was incredibly wild. Well, I don't know that they were best friends when it happened. That's true. They became best friends as to it. Yeah, you're right. Because I believe Marty, I'm not Marty. I've been calling

a Martin. I've been calling them on time. Marty Randall, man. Because I wrong leave Marty. But I'll be here. When Marty was in the interrogation room, like, hold up now. This is my man. Yeah. He's defending it. This is a wonderful person.

I love, love this guy. Listen, I don't want to give too much of the show way. This is not an ad on HBO DTF St. Louis. Great show. And it's, um, this, this, it's only seven episodes. Yeah, according to IMDB. Yeah. We looked it up.

It's only seven. They've gotten three so far. So they're smoking this shit. Yeah, they're smoking this shit. Shout out to them. That's great. That's great TV right there. Really good show.

I also started Scarpedo and Nicole Kidman. It's good. So far as good. I only got to one and a half episodes. I saw it, but, you know. I'm finishing anything Nicole Kidman. For sure. Pretty much.

On screen and on screen. It's like a. You on. On screen and off screen, boy. You on Nicole, yo. Huh? You on Nicole. Love Nicole Kidman.

Freak boy. That's some milk I can get with. She's a great actress. Yeah. Sure. Sure. Yeah. You don't think I would fuck Nicole Kidman.

He might. He said, he'd be quick. Escorted her to the Oscars or something. If Nicole Kim had asked me to go to Oscars, I'm going. And shall they will have to understand. Who's that person for y'all? And not that person, because I'm not trying to say it like it's a romantic thing,

but she's A-list enough to where, yeah, I'm going. Now he got one. Mark ain't playing. Mark's is Lisa Bowden. Lisa Bonnet, have him out. What? Lisa Bonnet right there

You seen the pictures that went viral? She looks amazing Lisa Bonnet looks absolutely stunning still Still Always has

Always will What say you Mark? That's different Why's different? Because I'd be willing You'll get some Duay, weighing glasses

You'll be willing Yeah Okay Oh man It's good That's crazy Mark going to hell You know

Shit That thing is freaks. He's all day. It was just that work. It still is. Still is for sure. Still. It's a rare sighting.

She hasn't been outside of, you know. She looks good. Also while we're here, and you guys could think of, like, something important for us to get to after I'm just finished talking shit. Would you only be for 10 seconds? So. My phone, I guess. So you people out there, y'all had a really cool challenge going on where an older person, would be showing themselves in the camera

and then the kid voice would pop on and say hey dad what were you like in the 90s I thought this was such a fly challenge that you idiots fucked up somehow so it started with me seeing fly older men and women panning to are you snoring

you know fat niggas breathed loud I went like, I'm like You know what's wrong with y'all, niggas? I'm looking around the room trying to guess who's wrong. You were having a heart attack. No, no, no. I was about to go up an ambulance, nigga.

It was him, nigga. My whole face is turned this way. Look at this nigga. Stop picking the chus if I fuck out of that. I'm up in here, yo. We pick it and choosing? Yeah, yeah. I looked at you.

I thought you were doing my shit like this. Look at this. I thought you were having a seizure. No. I ain't going to hold you. I was going to try to do CPR. I'm going to jump on your stuff. Come on, man.

Without the mouth to mouth. Oh, man. Bring me back to life. So your 90s people were showing their old shit of them in the 90s. It was a really fly challenge for older people. We don't get too many of those. Then you idiots came and started paning, showing yourself, and then panning to, like, shack or, like, Morris Chestnut or whoever your look-alike is from the 90s.

And I think that's super corny. I know y'all are having fun. So who am I to come rain on the parade? but some challenges you just got to skip if you weren't lit in the 90s or you weren't old enough that been moving around in the 90s why do you have to do it?

The first person I saw it was Tim Meadows and that was kind of funny because he did Don Cheeto that was a little bit funny Tim Meadows as a comedian All the people I've seen it with some Yom Means and they was killing them

in the 90s right? Women were showing themselves in the 90s like this fire I saw you tell you my son going to ask me what I was doing in the 90s and this is it and they were showing that shit yeah they were showing that shit

oh so you did and see the people that have turned it into a joke. It disturbed me enough to want to come in here and get that off my heart. Would you be able to do some shit like that? Yeah, if I find the pictures. If I find the pictures, deal got all the pictures.

You was living in a lady like that. I was outside enough to be able to pan back to me and my little Tommy Hill figured outfits. Shit. Yeah, 99, 99, 98. 18, 19, yeah, I could do that. Time. Take no longer.

I wish we had more pitches. You know what I mean? They are really important. Kids today take a picture of every moment. Every day they got a thousand pictures. I don't think I have 20 pictures of myself. I don't know for like a 10-year period. Strict rules in the cold.

The cameras are not allowed. No one's right. Ew. You got to lead it to the joke, man. No, that was funny. That's disgusting. Oh, come on. Yeah, you probably wouldn't bring that coat shit up again.

That's disgusting. It's hurtful. I can't segue after that My brain automatically went to what I would do if I found that tape with Mark on it Oh shit I don't know how

Patreon No I would not do that You can't do that I wouldn't do that I'll show you a little bit of cult footage one day I got some more cold Really?

Got some on your phone No he said something at home I said on my phone Yeah yeah yeah Yeah, I find that. What you had on? What was I wearing? A robe.

Yeah, a jelly beer. Did you have a jelly bean? What you said? Did you have a sweet hat? No, I didn't. Did I have it? There were some sweet hats. At the end, I did have one of Taribush.

You got a Toribush. It's like a Tarboosh. It's like a Tarboosh. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you wore the tall fans. At the end. Yeah, yeah. It looks like a shrine.

It looks like a shrine. Yeah. The raccoon card. Yeah. And no, they got a spot in Brooklyn. They still got a coachman. A bunch of it, right? Bush you have, yeah.

Yep, still there. I don't go, I don't go off. Who was that that was tasked with finding the next interesting topic for us? So I was about to go to it. Anyway, so, ICE, on the board, you asked, where does personal happiness rank to you? Yeah. And in your life. I wasn't know why you asked.

I was more than why you asked that. Like, you, I didn't know if he was going through something. No, no, that's not me. I have conversations. You're searching for personal happiness. Who? You're going to be stuck. You're going to be starting.

This is my favorite new dynamic. Joe says anything. He gets mad as shit. I don't know who you're talking to. Stop. I don't know who you're talking to. Because if he wrote the check. I would have thought the same thing you thought

if I knew he wrote that on the board. No, I'll say, you know, this would be a good question to bring to the pod. Where do you rank personal happiness? Yeah. Like, what do you mean? So I was talking to somebody and he was saying like, yo,

what he said. I'm about to tell you what he said. If you let me finish. No, no, no, no. I'm here to play. the day. I'm here to play. What that nigga said, free? All right, I'll tell her, too. I was on the phone

with Joe. Oh, shit, wait, big. Oh, yeah. Oh, shit, this is me. Yeah, that's what you. Remember our conversation other day? I bring him to the pot now. Oh, shit. So I'm on the phone with Joe, and he was just like, yo, man. I got a bad memory. It's weird. I don't remember nothing he's made. I'm playing. It wasn't Joe.

Oh, shit. You got to ride that out. Yeah, I love sweat a little bit. Yeah, I got to pee already. But yeah, he was just like, yo, I'm doing X, Y, Z. And he was like, yo, are you happy in your life? I'm like, yeah, my nigga. Like, a lot of people are happy.

And he was like, yeah, but what does it mean to you being happy versus everything that you got to juggle and deal with? I'm like, well, I got to make sure everybody good. And then making sure everybody good kind of makes me happy. And he was like, it's kind of the opposite for me. I'm losing my happiness because I'm taking care of so much. Yeah, that's like more. So then that's why I said, let me ask the, I said, yo, this is a good question to ask the family? It's a great question.

Where does your personal happiness rank as importance to you on the scale? I feel like the order I get the more drops. Yeah, my shirt is in the bottle. Really? Yeah. I don't really think about my own self-fulfillment, as long as my family and all the other shit got what they need, you kind of... That's your, like, that's your fulfillment. it's just a responsibility that you don't even think about being fulfilled then you know what I'm saying

it just it just don't come up and I think people convince themselves like your homie that makes them happy that's just a way of like dealing with the fact that you're not that you're not actually giving like care to yourself it's a really good question it brings high for me but I'm easy I don't require much and as long as my wife is happy and my family's everyone's good but I don't like stress myself out to make sure everyone else is happier than me That's a lot. That's a lot of, you put a lot of yourself. Yeah, I agree.

I'm not disagree. But sometimes it's just like making sure everybody's okay. I'll give you an example. Like if you got to do a lot of care work, that means you might not have time to listen to music or work out or hang with your homies. So it's not that you're making sure people are happy. It's not if you're just making sure people are like okay, like just well. And then doing that, you ain't got time to do this shit that actually makes you happy.

And that's what I find a lot of people. I see a lot of women go through that. You know what I mean? Especially like with small kids. Single mothers? Single mothers. Single mothers. They can't think about themselves.

What I want don't matter. You know what I'm saying? I might want to go to happy hour after work. You got to go pick up another human being. Make sure that they're dressed, fed, all the other shit. You are the last priority. That's when I swore, man. Like you don't got kids.

That's true. You know what I'm saying? If you had two or three kids, you change your things. Yeah, you want me to pay for the city for the night. Yes, she do. Hey, girl. Hey, go ahead. Call out a family dollar girl.

Oh my god Pizza huck and wait Pizza huckin' wake Yeah Pizza huckin You got a crazy Pizza huck my nigga Hey what's that term

Amani future farming What was it? That's when I come in Future bombing Future bomb Or farm Go on girl What it takes

Tell pizza You're going out to me I pay you for the two days I think it's a great topic I just say it was something I think it's a great topic too. Yeah, but it's low. If it's low for a lot of us, man, you know, we've got family,

man, you've got kids. And, you know, and then you start to think. When everybody starts to be happy around you, and you start looking like, that starts to make you happy or you start to look inside. If they're not appreciative, you start to look inside and say,

okay, what can I do? What should I do to make myself happy? It's funny you say that, Flip. Because sometimes the people that you're trying to make happy aren't appreciative of the lengths that you're willing to go to make them happy or the work that you're doing to make them. They may not even know. They don't even know.

Yeah. A lot of times they don't know. Flip, I would have thought you, I thought you guys say something a little bit different because you're one of those people I look to who has a balance between the two things. Like you take care of your family, you do all things you need to do,

but you also don't neglect yourself. And I find, and I actually, and you're the person that's always telling me, like make sure you take care of yourself, make sure you... Like, you are good for one for that. I wouldn't be funny. I mean.

I'm talking about it. Watch your fucking about game, boy. Thank you, bro. Yeah, yeah. Watch your mouth, bro. I'm saying you balance. You're killing it. I asked you how Lex was doing today.

What you told me, nigga? I have no idea. I have no clue. How your son do it? I don't know. I can't get it with a straight face. You got to be doing good. Ain't nobody called my phone.

Wow. I'm joking. He's a terrible person. Would you say it more like the balance? Just balancing it? Yeah. How do you? I was just surprised.

It sounds like you said this later. That shit got this ups and down. Listen, I make it look different because in all reality, I got a goal to make, you know what I'm saying? And I have to maintain a lifestyle to keep my family happy. But that shit comes with a lot of ups and downs. Everybody don't agree. My wife don't agree.

We just fucking had something the other day. You know what I'm saying? So she doesn't. Who was right in that? Both. She might have been right. I understood her frustration. Who knows?

I don't want to talk about that. But what I'm saying is that. But what was your point? I don't know neither. She was eating you off. No, no, no, no, no, the point is, I'm not going to change anything. When it comes to anything pertaining to my business, I'm not changing anything if it provides for my family. I'm sorry.

If there's nothing else that could be presented to me in order for me to do something. To make up what you would lose by not. I'm not doing this, we got to deal. We got to figure it out. No way that went overwhelmed now. No, it don't have to go over. I stand on that. You understand?

I believe. Some of us come from struggle. I was laying on a couch with my family, nigga, a broken-ass couch on the floor in my mom's basement. I am not going back to that. Period. Not going back to living like that. My children have become accustomed to, you know, a lifestyle, and I'm going to maintain that.

And it takes a lot of hard work. But also, you know, one thing I learned about this is that my reaction has to be different. I have to grow up because, you know, my kids are bigger now, so they look at things different. My daughter has heard me yelling over there. She's looking at me like shaking her head. That don't feel good. Like, she's shaking her like, oh, you were talking like this. You sound crazy.

It doesn't feel good to have your daughter do that. So you have to respond different and try to find a medium. That's what I'm working on now. just find the medium and how to balance it. So the balance that it may look like it, but it comes with the ups and downs. You just got to just make sure you do it and get to it. My wife brought up some shit I brought on the podcast.

Oh, if you make all the money, you can do what you want. I said, you heard that? I don't think she'd be here with it. Somebody probably sent that to it. It's my fucking friends over there. I like that shit. I hate to make it. Do you believe that?

Do I believe what? Like, if you make all the money, you can do what you want? Flip, it's a trap. It's a track. She's going to get this clip, too, flip. You're going to get a clip. Well, I believe if you make all the money, you're able to... We got it.

No. We got it. You have more options. It should be a factor. Yeah, I don't believe that, though. I think that everybody out there, no matter what you do, no matter where you are in life, you should put some time to the side for yourself and your happiness, no matter how much you provide, no matter how much you're showing up for people, no matter how much you work and find some. find something that you can get a little bit of joy from

as a guy is probably something like bowling. You ain't going to get a lot of after this time. The little hoop game. Little hoop game. You get a bunch of those in. The little punch machine, boom. 890. Don't skip the gym because you got to.

What about the strip clubs, gang? Would you say that? Pay for someone's lifestyle. That's crazy. When you say strip clubs would be a form of, you know, you know, something happened? Absolutely. I mean, maybe for some people out there.

And then what if, what if that's your former happening? It's not you, but somebody's form of happiness and this significant other may not be so welcoming to that. How do you balance that? Duh. How does the person balance that? What?

You lie, nigga. What's what you're talking about? Good thing about strip clubs they're open really late so you could like, you know what I mean? Oh, got you. If you live with the person. It's hard to dip out at 3 a.m. and explain where you at.

I guess you can be. I got to go talk to Minister Farrak. I'm a monster. Minister, hi. Hello? Hold on. I'll be back. The strip club fight is a fight that I would have kept going a little longer in my relationship had they not just kept hiring 22 year olds in the strip clubs.

It's like, all right. Last time I went over there, it was like, what was her? What was her, when you said she won, what do you mean? I'm sorry. Whatever our debates were about the strip club and strip club etiquette, strip club lifestyle, like whatever I was holding on to. It was over. It's hard when they died. She won.

She won that because of stupid New York clubs. Got you. Like, can't even be stubborn if I wanted to. Yeah. Like, I've naturally, like, grown up, like, by mistake. It is, like, corny, you know. I didn't like it like that. That's why we need to go to Vegas.

We need to go to the motherfuck out. The old head strip club. Yeah, we need to go to the muff. That's that shit's the truck driver's shit. I'm about to say, that wasn't free? Yes, it was. Yes, it was. He said us to the truck driver's strip club spot is very different from

the cool dude strip club spot. Yeah, in Bloomfield. That was them down to cause us. And I wasn't the one that took us there. We went there, we did a laugh, we talked around and walked out of there. You know who took us to that spot? I have no idea. I used to live a block away from there, and I only been in there once in my whole life.

I lived a block away from there. Those strip clubs could be kind of fun. Yeah. This one wasn't again. Here comes Amber. It can be in. Amber looked like she just gave birth. Yeah.

No, Amber looked like. And she did. She beat. In the back. The kid is with the house mom. Hey, a man. No, I'm cool. We walked around there and walked right out.

No, I'm good. I'm low maintenance too, so I don't need a whole lot to be happy. I just need my PS5. Yeah. I don't need a whole lot to be happy at all. That's what you get older. That's what you get. You get your video game system.

Yeah, give me some peace, a good meal, a good show. Everybody I love and good spirits. That's it. And good health. Man, I'll be happy with that. Shout to you. I had a blast at my dad's birthday dinner. Yeah, I told you that day.

Last night. No, you called me for a surprise party. I had a blast for his birthday dinner. I'm really enjoying having a little sister. Like... Why? Because she's funny, you know. She sat at the table and said,

all my friends say my parents told us that. I never put myself in her, my little sister's in this sixth grade. So 12? That's 11. Yeah. Something like that. 11. And Popper turned 70.

She said that shit in the day. That's real. He got tired. Oh, yeah. Willey, she got to be married. Oh, shit. If you got to pull that out. Yeah.

It's bad. But I'm just saying we be so caught up in our lives. Like, it ain't until I go and I got to really stop to put my brain in their experience on earth

and what's going on. Like with my brothers in college and what they got going on. How they doing? Good. Good. Well, one of them. One of them.

One of them, I ain't got the report on yet. I think he's dealing drugs. I think he's out. I think he's messing with it. Yeah. One. we ain't really hearing from too much.

Yeah, I think they all did fucking hustling. They're going to the same school? Yeah. Oh. That's the other thing, right? Like my brother, I respect his anonymity, whatever course he's taking in college

got him about to go abroad for a year. Fire. Wow. Fire. Wow. They shipping his ass to Japan. Fire. Super fire.

to live and work and function and learn for a year. I wish I remember the name of what he's taking business abroad or whatever the fuck knows. That's amazing. I think that's the scariest shit I've heard in my life. I don't have that. It is amazing. It is scary. It's scary.

It's a good scary. Oh, please. Fuck you. It is. That's a good scary, me. It is. It makes you way more well-rounded. You'll start seeing the world totally different than you see it just being around here.

You don't mean. It's dope. Not many people, their entire ideology, everything is the block that they grew up on. The eight block radius that they lived in the whole life. The more life you get to live, and they're young, the more life they live in and experiences they're getting. Just hearing that would make me drop out of school. What? No.

What? Did you want to go to Japan for a year and just be and learn how to live? You've been out your parents' house for a hot eight months. Now you just want somebody. I mean, as a freshman, it usually don't happen to like junior year. It is scary. It's scary as shit. But just as a freshman, it is a little more scary, I think, around junior year.

Because now you have been living outside of your parents' house for a couple years. Even though college is like the, I always say college is like a bridge between living in your mama house to living in your own house. You get what I'm saying? It's supervision there. You got RAs and all that shit. And you can't just run am up and do whatever you want. but you got mad more leniency than when you were at home. So I think it's dope.

But as a freshman, I don't know if I would let my kid go to Japan as a freshman. Well, sophomore is going to be next year. Maybe junior. What's the worry? Junior. My niece went. My niece lived in Italy for a year. She lived in Italy for a year.

At what year of college? Junior. She lived in Italy for a year. Came back speaking fluent Italian. Matter of fact, Toy went. Toy, that's why Toy speaks fluent Spanish. Toy went abroad for a year. That shit is dope.

I think it's dope. I think it gives you just a broader perspective on how you see the world. And I'm talking shit. The guy that goes to college and signs up for this particular... He's prepared and be ready for that. He doesn't like that.

He's ready to go and do shit like that. So, salute to my siblings just living. Yeah. Like, dope. Dope shit. Selling them nickel bags, niggins. Getting the college right.

Niggas got to stay up for a test. No, no. I probably don't got to roll. Niggas. You know, perks. Some of them. For 30s. Stansfield.

And Dick Pills. Stansfield. I went to college today. I'd have to litter it with drugs. It's hard. That's utter, yeah, that's... I'd have to help. You're not groundbreaking.

I'd have to help. I'd have to add to the demise. Sure. Anywho's. All right, it's time for our political segment. Mark Lamont Hill. We're giving Mark an ISO so he can try to win the chain back. No, no, no, ISO.

This is just everybody talking, man. The first thing. thing was just the Trump updates because I feel like our favorite we gotta let people know what's going on even he's having sent Trump is having sent

we'll through something at you Trump is a reptile for sure yo he's a lot of things maybe as you know things in Iran still going on and his skin is looking funny

if you look at him now yeah I'm not sure his skin is looking his skin is he's like 85 ready he's looking kind of sick you know we got a black auntie somewhere putting the Trump doll on the stove I wish you'd get to it

right right turn the buyer up exactly a couple of things Iran obviously things are still crazy over there in terms of the U.S. intervention the whole straight of Formuz is closed

Trump has been trying to get other countries to open it up they have not agreed to do warships to open up to force it open that means that things are to get worse before they get better, both in terms of violence, in terms of oil access, in terms of revenue, etc. Is it, uh, is the straighter moves closed? Because I'm

reading conflicting reports. Is it closed or is that some U.S. shit that they're preaching? Because I read somewhere they letting some other niggins. They're letting China go through. That's not bad way of putting it. Yeah. Okay. It's generally closed, but there are exceptions. And, but according to the most recent reports, as of the time

we're recording this, it is, it, the access has been closed and Trump is trying to force it open, which isn't working. like I said, things going to get worse before they get better. Another thing, since we're talking about oil, is Cuba is going through a blackout right now, partly because of the U.S. pressure, obviously U.S. kidnaps, Venezuela president doesn't help. Mexico was given him emergency oil.

U.S. put pressure on Mexico to stop giving them humanitarian aid and support. So Cuba is in a tough situation, which only got worse when Trump said yesterday that he thinks the U.S. is going to take Cuba. If I feel like it. He said, if I feel like it. They said, do you mean like militarily or do you mean diplomatically? He was kind of like, whatever, whatever I feel like doing it. But I think it's going to happen.

Yo. Shit is scary. I don't know what I'm going to do with it, but yeah, I might go over there and just take it. I don't know. I figure out what I want to do with a year, though. Wild. And then to fill out the trifecta, he was talking about Gavin Newsom. They said, what do you think about Gavin Newsom and his chance to be president?

He said, he doesn't call him Newsom because of Newscum. He says, Newscum shouldn't be president. You know why? Because he has a learning disability. And people with learning disabilities shouldn't be precedent. Oh, he's just throwing it to the rim. You just throwing it tossing it up there. Right there?

He's bugging out. Yo. He's bugging out. It's like there's nothing he can't say. Any one of those three things that I just said, starting a war. Going to take Cuba? Take another countries. At my disposal, determine what I feel like doing with it.

And how I feel like taking them. After starving them for three months. Exactly. Or mocking them. people learning disabilities or neurodivergent people or whatever, if Obama wore tan suit in this shit, and they went crazy. Trump can't say and do whatever.

I'm only bringing this up because I want people to keep their eyes on this, because this is getting crazy. Oh, that's bad. And then, of course, since we're talking about politics, last thing, Mamdani has put forward some new tax proposals. Okay. Which I'm excited about. The first one is one that he has direct control over, right?

He wants to raise tax the tax rate for people who make over a million dollars. Okay. I'm okay with that. It affects the exact numbers and exact percentage, but I believe it's from 3% to 5% the tax rate for people in New York City. And the idea, he wants to raise the city income tax rate to 5.88%

from 3.88% for the roughly 34,000 households that earn more than $1 million per year. He said that a family earning a million should pay an additional $20,000 in taxes, the equivalent of, it's a 51% increase. And then the other thing is he's trying to advocate for at the state level is an increase in what some people call the death tax, which is

more appropriately just a, what do you call it, a, um, hereditary thing or, uh, yeah, when you, when you give somebody, inheritance. Inheritance tax. Inheritance tax. Uh, which would raise the rates pretty high for people who are, who are, who are, who are bequeathing things to people. So if you have a house and you would have it to give it to your kid, you're going to pay a higher tax rate on it.

I don't love that. I don't like that. I don't like that. I don't like that. Some of the dumbest shit you ever heard in your life. First off, we have a really wide broadcast. Yeah. But we got to think about, we're talking about New York.

State. Right? And so when you start thinking about people in New York, especially in New York City proper, so that's the five boroughs or anything remotely close. What he's doing, he's taking the rates from 16%. His proposed new rate is 50%. That's a different level of a jump.

For the inheritance tax? Yes. The inheritance tax. And then the rate cap, pardon me, for interrupting, is there a cap on it? Seven million, I believe. No, no, no. The old start of the inheritance tax used to be $7 million. That's where you start getting taxed.

That's where you start to get text. Oh, okay. He wants to drop it to $750,000. Oh, no. So if you start taxing New Yorkers at $750,000 for those of us that live in the area, you can't find a house in the five burrows for $750,000. You can't find a one-bedroom, brother. That's my point.

And so now you're starting to impose way more, I don't want to call them sanctions, but way more stress on the poor and the middle class that you ran your campaign on uplifting. Right? It's bullshit. So, and this is what I want people to understand. You know, when you start talking about taxing the billionaires and taxing the rich, especially when it comes to inheritance and all the other shit, the term trust fund babies comes from somewhere. They don't pay taxes like that.

They put all of the assets and they put all of their money into trust. And when you die, your trust don't get taxed. So now you put in all this pressure on motherfuckers that don't have the information or don't have the resources to carry out date their inheritance that way. And a lot of people, especially in our communities, black and brown, we come up off of insurance policies. We come up off of real estate inheritance, et cetera, et cetera. That's how you gain a leg in the quote unquote wealth gap. So now if I inherit a house, that's a million dollars. And I got to pay 500K on a million dollars.

I ain't inherit shit. My parents bought this house for half a million dollars when I was 10. Yeah, that's our show is way too much. Yeah, it's nuts. For New York City. I think it's counterproductive, again, based on what he said he was going to do for the middle class and the poor. It don't even mean. To propose it to me is assing I.

Whether it gets voted on or not, just to propose that means, in my opinion, you have a disconnect on what's going on out here. I'm not bad at the three to the five for the other thing. But the interridents at $7.50 is crazy to me. Bro, even a million dollars. You don't think people should be taxed at all? No, they should, but the threshold, especially for New Yorkers, should be higher. Yeah, like, we, again, it's an industry-specific thing. I want somebody in Cleveland to be like, yo, these motherfuckers are stupid,

or somebody in Indiana to say, we're stupid. Yeah, we're talking about New York. You literally can't get a one-bedroom condo in New York for 700 million. And people don't understand that worldwide. So, again, that's why I'm pressising it with, yo, dog, we're talking about New Yorkers. So if you're talking about people that are struggling in the Bronx, people that are struggling in Queens, people that are struggling in Brooklyn, your family passes away. They live you this asset that may be worth $2 million.

Y'all gonna take a million dollars of it? Like, get the fuck out of here. That shit don't make no sense. And again, they keep trying to pawn it off as if... No, I don't think that's what's happening. That's not what the policy is. Oh, okay. Tell me more. Yeah, so I'm trying to pull up the exact policy.

But first of all, it's on estates. The state. So it's not just on houses. It's on like the estates. So if I have an estate of, just be clear. No, no, no. So if I have an estate of $5 million, the idea is if I'm leaving that to you, you have to pay taxes on it.

It doesn't mean that if it's... Because the state might be valued at a million dollars. Uh-huh. if I leave you a house for a million dollars, I didn't even sold the house. I don't have to cough up $500,000. Okay. But I do have to pay taxes on part of it.

And the reason for it, to me, and I'm going to put up the exact numbers so we can get into exactly what it looks like on the ground because I don't, I didn't know this. I only knew the million, I only knew the first part of story that I brought up. I brought this to us, each brought this to us this morning,

so I didn't get the chance to read into it beforehand. But it's important to know that the top rate is 50%. Not all of it is 50%. Okay. So if I inherit $750,000, I wouldn't be paying 50%. The person would inherit $7 million in above would be getting the 50%. But I haven't seen the schedule to know what the steps are. So I don't know whether it's 20%, whether it's 30%,

but it will go up. The exemption is no longer up to $7 million. I think that's important to note. But to my point, again, I don't think it's a contradiction to say, I'm for poor people or I'm for, you know, even the middle class and saying I'm going to raise a tax rate on people who are inheriting stuff. There's a

I get the idea of wanting to pass wealth on to your children. I get the idea of wanting to share those things. I get it. But I'm not convinced even in New York that somebody who inherits, say, a $3 million property right now or a $3 million estate, whatever it is, shouldn't have to pay some taxes if they're getting $3 million. You have to pay taxes already.

But New York is one of the few states that sort of there's a federal taxes you pay. pay on it. But the rate is fairly, in New York, it's fairly like nothing when you have the exemption. That's relative, number one. I've gone through this. I'm not a relative. I'm going to put it differently. It's literally zero right now, up to $7 million. I've gone through this, right? So it depends. Like, I know New Jersey law and I know Maryland laws. In New Jersey, if somebody passes away and they leave their estate, it depends on your relationship to the person. Right. So if you

are the wife, the spouse, or the kids, then you don't pay a tax on property. Right? If you're a sibling, if you're somebody else, then you pay a tax. However, when we start to, again, talk about, and this is where it gets funny, because when you start throwing these numbers out, like Mark threw a number out, like $5 million, $10 million. If I have $10 million of assets, that means I also have $10 million of information where I'm going to protect those assets when it time for me to pass away to where my family's not going to pay taxes at all. That's one key, key, key point is the information of the rich. They always find a loophole to escape paying taxes.

So it's going to disproportionately affect us or the people that are in a different tax bracket that don't have that information and don't have a trust or don't have somebody to have set up their estate situations. Again, in our community, sometimes niggas don't even have life insurance. So if you are a family that you didn't come up. off of life insurance policy, that house that your mother left you or that house that your father left you, that might be your only thing that you can build wealth off of. And so now to tax that in a way that to some might seem minimal, to most might not seem minimal, it is disheartening

to me. I got to read more. And I got to read more to know the sketch. To me, the devil's in the details. I agree with you that the rich circumvent the rules. But to me, that's the argument for making better rules. But that's the argument that they push when they act as if it's in fairness. Like, yo, we're going to tax all these bills? I think this is in fairness. When we're going to tax all these billionaires. No, you're not. Yeah, they already are exempt.

They know how to play the game. Right. So the ones you're going to tax are the people that don't know how to play the game. And they don't know how to play the game. But I think that's why this policy could be useful. Again, the devil's going to be in the details. But also, when I think about the people who are the most affected people like us, we don't, for example, poor black people, we don't inherit houses. It's not true, Mark.

Especially now. Especially now. We are starting to be more on the, on the side. of inheriting houses. We are disproportionately inheriting debt. We're disproportionately inheriting houses that aren't paid off.

We're inherently. Doesn't matter. It still's equity in the house. That still's a value. That still's a net value. What I'm saying is that black income, as you know,

difference with income in wealth. And what I'm saying is black people are disproportionately under, we're underrepresented on the wealth side. Zero. That's all I'm saying. Right.

So that's all I'm saying. And so it's not. the most vulnerable people in New York City are the ones who are about to get hit hard because they're inheriting these houses that they don't have to pay extra taxes on. I'm saying that the people who are often getting around the rules are more likely to get

ensnared with this policy based on the way it's been laid out than the people who were trying to protect. That's what I'm saying. It's not, my auntie's not inheriting a $5 million house. You keep going to $5 million. Stay at a million. Stay at 1.5. We're in New York City. So at the minimal house, you could get some piece of shit.

Two better one. All right, cool. So now you could get a piece of shit house in New York City. No disrespect to Queens. Let's say Queens of Brooklyn, right? You could get a house that's $1.5 million. Again, the wealth for black people ranks dead last amongst ethnicities in the United States of America. We are last. Yeah. So now we are starting to get information based on EYL, shit like that. We are starting to get information on how to wealth build. Yeah. Cool. You may not have all of the vehicles set up to wealth build. But for a majority of people, I'm arguing with you that people own houses and grandparents own houses and mothers own houses and they are leaving these houses to their kids. So when you start taxing these people at a high clip, 16% to me is too much. Yeah, see, that's what we disagree. I'm not disagreeing the grandmother's bequeathed houses. I'm simply saying that black people are underrepresented on that list.

I know. And so because we're underrepresented on that list, I'm actually more interested in how tax revenue could be used to invest in us in ways that can get us to where you want to be. Education, all the things that help people be able to access houses and things like that. You know what I mean? And social mobility. And I think

that's all theory. I'm a man that practices practicality. And I don't have no faith in Democrats. I don't have no faith in Republicans. I don't have no faith in no fucking politicians to take the money and allocate the money accordingly to us to where we could come up off of it. We haven't seen it ever. So again,

if my parents leave me some shit, that I can tangibly touch, I don't want the state taking it. And look, and given my faith in them that they're going to allocate it to the Bronx school system or to the Brooklyn school system that's so desperately needed.

No, me and my family need it so that we can progress and get to a place when I'm not relying on the state. But then if we take that approach to the extreme, then we're making a case not paying any taxes. I didn't say that. No, I said, listen to what I'm saying. I said, to the extreme, which means we have to pay something,

right? And I think we agree that we have to pay something. So if we have to pay something, the question is what's the number? I don't think 16% on the low end or 50% if you're talking about a $20 million state is too high. That's all I'm saying. I do. I think 50% is too high. So what do you think the number should be?

I think that we pay property taxes the whole and time time you own your home. Do we understand what we do? So if my grandmother or my mother's been paying property taxes for the last X, Y, Z amount in years, right? My mother's already paid a share of the estate tax to the state already. Got it. Right? So now she passes away. I'm going to get hit on that.

And she didn't have been paying taxes on this particular piece of property for the whole entire time. So what do you think about the proposed mansion tax? Again, I think that the, I think it's... I want to hear what more. I'm sorry. Because of his view. I'm sorry. In New York, I don't know the number.

In New Jersey, I thought the number was too long. Proposed mansion tax increases in New York. City. Yesterday, yesterday, well, I'm slow today. Yesterday, the New York State Senate and Assembly released their budget proposals as part of the ongoing negotiations with the governor. Included in both proposals are significant increases to the New York City mansion tax for any residential deals done after June 1, 2026. One of the most notable changes is a proposed 1.45% tax on transactions. This is where the bullshit is if you're asking me. could be higher.

Between $500,000 and $1 million, where no mansion tax currently exists today. At the high end of the market, rates could climb as high as 5.325% on transactions above $25 million. A $500,000 home in New York City is a studio apartment. It's not existing. So look, the New York City mansion tax

is a one-time progressive tax paid by buyers on residential purchases of a maximum. million dollars or more. That is all of New Jersey, yeah. That is all of New York, bro. So here's, if you want to think, because again, I'm not, I'm not, I don't disagree with any of y'all that

tax rates need to be fair based on what people make and that you can't, and that the numbers that they use need to be adjusted for inflation and for the time. I agree with that. I agree with a mansion tax. I think there should be a mansion tax. If you're buying high-end real estate, you should pay

a fee. We got that. I just don't think the number. And I'm fine with one. In New Jersey, it's somewhere between 1% at like $1 million. And they can go up to 3.5. I know. I'm fine with the same number in New York. I just don't think it should be at $500,000 or $1 million because people are buying one and two bedroom apartments.

The idea of a mansion tax was for mansions. Luxury. That scale should be updated for today. And what they've done is they take the word mansion and they make it, that's such a word that I had to pay a man. You've been to my house. I ain't got no damn mansion. but I had to pay it. It's pretty nice.

I thought it was a man to I was there. I didn't too. I'm going up in the driveway. I said, oh shit he got one. You guys go to the West wing or the East Wing? Yeah. Oh, we were the East?

And it was Man Manchin's on the block. It didn't look Manchin-y, but I can see how the West might look to the West. I didn't get to see those. I hate everybody in this room. So when I spent, we need to pay an extra 1%

which is a lot of fucking money. You know what I mean? It was like, this wasn't intended for this house. It was intended for those houses. a fancy state in Montclair or something. You know what I mean? Like it's one of those. You're comparable to Montclair.

Yeah. But it's not a fancy estate. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. To me it was. What I was saying is in yesterday year, a million dollar house was something that was just, it would have got you. And that's my point. Right.

But they haven't adjusted it. Right. And that's a problem. But to the average taxpayer, if they just hear you paid over a million dollars, if you make 50,000. Not in New York. And that's why I said it's relative. You agree with us. I agree with us.

That's why I started. Say that. Nigger without all these words. You agree. I said that from the beginning. I agree with y'all. I only disagree on inheritance because because of the fact that,

one, it's not your shit. And I want people to be able to pass. It started with it. That's not true. No, it's not your shit. You're inheriting it. It's mine. It's mine now.

They have some shit that my mother and father worked for. It's my shit. It ain't the states. No, no. I'm with you on that. It's tough talking to Mark because Mark is against anything

that gets you some money. No, I'm saying, I want people to be able to pass the wealth. I just don't think they're a slice of it for taxes. Marcus Pro Black. Inherentance is a very, very, very important vehicle that we are using to close the wealth gap. That is one. Yo, home ownership and life insurance are the two main vehicles that we are now use.

I'm talking about common man that don't invest in the stock market and all that shit. Those are the two main vehicles that we are using to now catch up. So when these motherfuckers strip you of the home ownership equity piece, that is very, very, very. Very important. Right, but I'm saying, again, not to go into circles. I agree with everything you're saying. I just think that the bulk of this tax revenue is not coming from us. It's coming from rich.

It's not. No, it is. That's just a fact. You're saying the bulk of tax revenue from inheritance tax comes from black people? No, I'm saying the bulk of inheritance of tax revenue comes from people that are uninformed because the informed have vehicles that they use to skip the tax man. I'm with you on that. These niggas are buying $100 million dollars for.

for a reason. And they're not all black. I'm saying most of them aren't black. I know. Because that's what seemed like y'all are just disagree. I'm not even talking about blacks at the bottom of the totem pole. There are blacks that own $100 million houses. What I'm saying is.

Like three. Take blacks out of it. Black and brown, poor, disenfranchised, whatever you want to say, right? Fam, those are the people that are uninformed. Michael Bloomberg is not going to get taxed on his $30, $40, $60 million house when he passes away. So the solution, I think what we disagree is a solution. because I agree with you. Well, we do two things.

One, I think then I agree you have to pay some taxes. I just think the number should be scaled. I think if you have Uber amounts of money, you should pay high amount on inheriting the shit. If I'm inheriting $100 million, I should pay some taxes on that shit. Not 50% though. Again, we disagree with that. I just think you should.

But I think your bigger point is the one that I think is for me the most compelling one, which is like, yo, like these things end up, the rich get to circumvent this and the poor people end up actually getting the business into this. I'm with you. But to me, the solution. is to write better laws, not to not have... I agree.

That's all I'm saying. I think we need to inherit the sex. Just get rid of the loopholes. But what I'm talking about, as constructed, the laws are what they are. So we're not going to disagree on the legislation. What I'm saying is the law that he is proposing does not rewrite the existing tax laws.

No, that's exactly what he's trying to do. That's what I'm saying. I need to see the schedule to know what it looks like. He's changing a dollar amount. He's not changing the loophole that if I could take all of my $6 zillion and put it in the trust, I don't pay a penny in taxes. And that's a federal problem. I agree with you on that.

That's a federal problem. Sound like the other problem. The other solution is learning them loopholes. Yes. Yeah, but they make it so that even if you learn them, you can't do them. Poor people will go to jail for them same loopholes that rich. He keep it up. He's going to clear New York.

Yeah, bro. I don't think so. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. And let me tell you what's going to happen. I think it depends on what he does with the tax revenue. Bro, these big, these businesses are going to start just in corporate structure, start changing the state in which they are incorporated in.

And now they're going to bypass everything. They're just going to pick up and go. Yeah. Yo, dog, nobody made $100 million is going to pass away and leave $50 million to the state. Nobody wants to do that. And again, if I was a $100 million family

and my family bust their ass for the last how many ever years to accumulate this amount of wealth, I don't want to leave $50 million of it to the state where I don't know where funds is being allocated where motherfucking Christy noam and them is giving it to their peoples. I'd be honest with you, I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either.

I still think it's the right thing, though. I absolutely agree. Nobody wants to get up their money. Like when Mom Downy ran, and again, I'm a New Jersey resident. It's none of my business. But I'll be over there sometime. But when he ran, he ran on a campaign that seemed like it would be kind of for all New Yorkers.

And didn't I say that? And all includes me. But this is exactly what he proposed. When we had this argument before about. But that's not what's happening. That's not. That's not what's going on. I disagree.

All right, we'll see. I mean, because when we were arguing about, you know. New York already had an exodus problem before he got there. They did. people were picking up and leaving. So when he came in on the hope of we're going to make this thing cheaper, we're going to make it more affordable, more livable, more presentable. That was something that all all us could get behind.

But to get there now and everything you hear is we're going to fix this and we're going to get the rich. We're going to fix it. We're going to get the rich. Well, at some point, the rich people are not dumb. The rich people are not just going to allow you to keep. They're going to pick up and get the fuck out of here. And he can't. Even if he could, right?

Let's say even if he could, they would voluntarily leave. Sure enough. If he could, if any one of us in this room was worth a billion dollars. And somebody said, yo, we're going to tax you at X, Y, Z percentage that we didn't feel was fair. We have enough money where we can relocate. We can still conduct business in New York City. It don't stop us from conducting business in New York City. I don't do that anyway with Florida any other places.

Businesses leave, residence to leave, we could just relocate. Cool. Right? Hold on, hold on. But I came in and I said, what he's doing is selling hope the same way Donald Trump sold hope. I said, yo, you now are appealing to the poor and they're marginalized and you're saying, yo, I'm going to make it better for you. You can't afford peanut butter.

I'm going to get you peanut butter with the jelly. And I said the way in which he is outlining it to do it to me seems damn near theoretical as opposed to practical. That's all I'm saying. And I don't want you all to keep going back and forth. I think there's just real quick, Joe, I just think there's two different things happening. There is a five and a half billion dollar budget deficit in New York, which doesn't allow people to get the things they need, right?

The money has to come from somewhere. The bulk of this, Mamdani isn't proposing to take people's inheritance and pay the city deficit. He's saying people who make over a million dollars should go from 3.8% to 5.8%. That's the primary source. the main. I just want to be clear about that.

Because I don't want people to think that, like, Mondani's saying, I'm going to take all your kids' inheritance to pay. Because these are two different issues that are getting mixed. I don't want to be clear about that. That's a different issue. Mondani is just making a proposal to the state about the inheritance. He can't change. It's a state policy. He's just making a proposal. These are just proposals. But again, it's not at 50%. It's at a scale that could go up to 50%. And I'm saying,

I'm okay with 50% for the Uber rich. But who would apply to? 50% would be those 100 million children. When Ish bequeaths his to his children, his $10 million, just say $10 million. Yeah, I don't think you should give up $5 million of it. But that's different. You know what I mean? But I'm just saying all that's on the table.

I just wanted to be clear that those two policies are different just so people don't mix the two of them. Yeah, you're not getting the chain now. You lost the Ish got him out of there. I'm with you on that one. All you wish, people stick to side with each other. Mark, that's why you confuse me. You're down. I'm down to pay the tax.

And front facing, you be with all that, oh, the poor, the poor, the poor, behind the scenes, the nigger, no, Mom Dany need to find a way to speak to me and you. No, but see, he does. 500 millionaires. And you don't want to hear that. No, I do want to hear it. I'm just telling you, 500 millionaires signed a petition yesterday in New York. Oh, where is it? No, you don't want to sign it.

No, you don't. Because they're saying we want to pay more taxes to fill the gap. So I'm just telling you, a lot of people who make over a million dollars are willing to pay their fair share. How many millionaires in New York? I'm about to look. One in every 24, I just looked at it. And the whole five watching of them signed it. It's just started yesterday.

I mean, everybody. 500,000. But, like, I would. If I made that kind of money, and lived in New York. Dog, I was coming on here to kill Mom Donnie for this. It is a goal of our administration to lower the speed limit across the city to 20 miles an hour.

See, he just wants to keep saying nuts shit. With a local law change to the city administrative code. I repeat. It is a, a goal of our administration to lower the speed limit across the city to 20 miles an hour. He's serious.

It's 25 now, right? Who do that? Yeah, I don't know. New York is one place where I don't pay attention to speed. I don't even know the speed limit. It's 25. It's a lot. Yeah, I mean, I never had the option

to follow the speed. Yeah, it's not. It's not. You just go to the truck. Unless you're in the west side of 2 a.m. Like, when the fuck do you get to have a speed limit? Yeah. East side highway.

I mean, east. But I think it's 25 now. Is it? Yeah, like regular pedestrian. streets, I think it's 25. Yeah. Okay. And you barely get to get to

25. That's what I'm saying. I don't know how many times I've driven 25 miles an hour. He made it sound like the Henry Hudson will be 25 miles. He made it sound like the FDR. He didn't say select neighboring.

He said all of New York. I don't know. What are you talking about? He's talking about the side streets, which are 25 right now. Still, fuck that too. I agree with him on lowering speed limit by the school zones.

Yes. Which he did. Indeed. Down to 15% of 15 miles on 15. I mean, 15, 15 miles of hour. I agree with that. I agree with that. If you want to make an omelet, you got to break eggs.

You know what I'm saying? That's something y'all say in the South, right? No word. We all going to be in the South in a minute. Howdy? You know, it could be right now. I'm just saying, if he didn't do all this tax shit, then people would be like,

he said he was going to give us free public transportation in supermarkets and he ain't did shit, right? The only way that, he said from the beginning, I'm going to do it by raising taxes. He said that. Taxes on the rich. Yes, and I think the 3.88, in New York, people who make over a million dollars are rich. Not rich the way they are in Wichita, but if you make over a million dollars, you're rich.

I don't care where you are. That's true. Right. It's like, if you make over a million dollars, you're rich. I got to sit with that. It depends on what you're going on. And it's relative. That's not true.

Not in New York City. No, you're rich. If you got a million dollars a year, you're rich. I'm sorry. Okay. You're not independently like, you ain't got fucking. you money, but you're rich. Yeah, you're rich.

I'm not doing 20 miles per hour nowhere in New York City. Well, actually, I'm lying because my driver will definitely do. He'll definitely do. He'll definitely do. He'll do 10. That nigga does seven. Oh, my God.

Three miles of hours to everybody see you. It's cool. God learned me a lesson. God's going to teach you something now. Do all this complaining about my driver and he couldn't drive me around yesterday because he had jury duty.

I was judging him for that. But fine, you went and did jury duty. He sent me his, Puerto Rican driver he'd be using sometimes to drop him off drugs and pills. And they go flying, hitting every bump. Dog.

I'll never say a bad word about my driver again, man. Never again. You are a man of the people. You were judging on a jury doing? This guy was moving slow. This guy had a little Yeah, it was bad. The Russell seems to have made a triple down.

But it's five minutes long. I'm not trying to hear this. No La Russell. Come on. No, La Russell. No, La Russell, go away. A little snippet. Go, oh, no. It's five and a half minutes long.

Fuck you. Can we all you? No, we don't. I do. I do want to hear a little bit. Exactly. Even solid. When you put it in your ear,

did it sound like something? Even in any I mean. Come on, let's hear a little bit. Yo, I don't get that shit. Yo. Just a taste. This is Mark's fault. Look.
