I watch the show. I know y'all niggas ain't got a decorum.

I'm a chill man.

All right. Yo, we are reckless. You know what my favorite thing is about these niggas? Like, whenever it's some tension brewing, they wait until the first minute of the show and get it cracking. I said the very first minute of the workday.

Get it cracking.

To me, chilling all morning. Y'all been chilling, shaking.

But that's how it was back in the days, Y'all. Y'all him facts.

We don't all do that. It's Flip that does that. Well, it was him and you the last time it happened.

That's not true.

It means that was minute one.

But it was him.

No, it's still minute one, is all I'm saying. That means for the next nine hours, you just gotta sit here.

Not when we talk. But we don't do y'all walking.

You know, if I argue with any.

But, Mel, can I ask you a question?

Oh, man, don't worry, I'm coming.

Yeah, he can't help himself.

He can't help himself.

Yo, did y'all know Mel was Russian?

Russian? Where?

What you mean, Russian?

She said that before Liz. Pa.

I have.

I've never heard her say she's Russian.

My mom was Russian and Norwegian.

You said Norwegian.

No, I said both.

You'd be ducking the Russian part.

I don't. I can't. I can't avoid it.

But, Mel B. Whatever the question is.

Y'all know if you check out my Wikipedia. I have always said this.

It's Russian first, though, right, Mel?

It's not Russian first. Her father was Russian.

I don't think any. In here. I can't speak for them all.

It's fine. I know you've never looked at my Wikipedia. It's fine. The point is, it was written a very long time ago. I have always said that.

You have siblings, right?

I do.

How many?

Three.

Well, no. I am my mother's only child. I'm the youngest of 11 of my fathers.

Oh, I got you.

Mm.

Yeah.

You see why my whole daddy conversation went the way that it did, didn't it?

Not because he had a bunch of kids.

That daddy was a Patreon episode. This is a main episode.

Okay.

Okay.

Subscribe if you want to see you on Twitter going, she's been on Twitter attacking niggas. About that.

Me.

You was going cry. I read that shit.

She was getting attacked.

I set you up.

Got you.

I said don't do it. You mean just stay.

Fall back.

I got this.

You mean the Internet got to you?

What's that?

You mean the Internet got to you?

Not you.

Not you.

I have never, ever. I have never claimed to be completely immune to the fuck shit that people say to me. I've never claimed to be completely immune. There are times where I just complete. I just ignore it. I don't even look at it. But on this particular day, I saw a couple of stupid ass motherfucking comments that I felt like I have some time.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

How do y'all decide when. When to respond? Cause I see ish. I don't see you respond. Do you read the comments?

Every last.

No, I don't.

I heard him say he got that.

Shit on my boy. Don't miss a beat.

If I read all the comments, dog, I'd probably be somewhere in Bellevue.

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. My bad. I take it back. I. I take it back. I forgot about that line. I take it back. I forgot about that line. Somebody sent me the comments. Yeah, you gotta guard. We gotta start. We gotta start guarding against the. I don't read it, but somebody sent me the comments.

And he goes, but that happens.

It does.

It does.

It happens a lot.

Mel, if you keep it up, I am gonna blast your head off of your shoulders. Yeah, if you let me fight with them. Because if you keep it up, Machete to you is coming. Y'all made me think of a whole new Y'all made me think of a whole new contract clause.

This is from.

Well, that's all they did. Yeah, we could hear you niggas on a microphone, Mr. CNN and ENN. Elizabeth, network news. Elizabeth. Elizabeth, new. Oh, you educated people.

I feel like you should tell that person to stop sending you everything I'm.

About to say that some of that is informative. He's right.

No, he has it. He's right. But I feel he's just.

Some of that is informative.

I feel that he curse someone out.

If they said criticism that you find informative.

No, it's. It's perspectives. It's a bunch of.

No, I mean, listen.

They don't stop. Real question, dog. They don't stop. I'm not lying. He just. He seen one day worth of.

Yeah, I got a crazy person.

But then. But then you're welcoming.

You're welcoming messages in a row on the same day.

No, but this person is not criticizing it. He's showing me the.

But you're welcoming it because you're reading it. Yeah, some of them shit is informative.

But you read them too, right? Because I see you respond on Twitter. You be wanting to fight niggas. Like you call niggas out to fight.

Well, I used to.

Three days ago.

No, no, no.

Welcome to the Joe Budden Podcast.

No, no, no, no, it's not.

No, it's not. No.

Don't you dare. Don't. Let them do it. Let them do it. Okay, Let them. Let him do. Then attach my name to it. Let it be long silence. Let him do it.

Okay.

For the rest of this episode, you better not speak up on that topic.

Okay, fine.

Why?

I can't fall off of the baby. It's still my sis. But she know why. She know why. Y'all better stop playing me here.

She been wild.

This is crazy.

Now, do you have anything inspirational for us?

I already see how today's about to go.

Yo, TD Jake, you got some TD Jakes.

I feel like this guy gets into a little.

Him, maybe, perhaps.

Yo, so I. I really enjoyed my 9 to 5 intro last pod with Dolly Parton, Right? Which made me think. I do want to kind of open up the scope of how I start these things. But then I found out. I see it.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I saw the album cover, and I know exactly what it is.

You can't look at my screen and then go to the mini pod and do your thing. Yo, your is about to start. You can't look at my scream.

Okay, I'm sorry.

That's crazy.

But I'm really excited if that's the song you're.

Wait. So then I learned over the weekend, they came by to check my blood pressure. Oh, and boy, is it high again.

How high is it?

I'm too embarrassed to tell you.

Ooh.

Honestly, all the y'all share here, you won't share.

He wouldn't share it off Mic. He wouldn't share it off Mike.

You don't feel like there's somewhere that transparent people should draw a line, Dog.

Do you know the I know about you?

Yes.

That ain't where the line should be drawn.

But don't you think I should draw a line somewhere like, my. Yo, you sound like my embarrassing healthcare shit. I should share anyway. It was high enough to spook me. It was high enough to spook me. You know when you lay in the bed and just stare at the ceiling and think, yo, you know what?

I might be checking.

I think my time is coming, yo. I think it's near. Like, I've been, you know, I've been seeing the signs. I was petrified going to sleep last night, which opened up a whole new playlist for me.

Okay.

I'm a music playlist.

Yeah. I'm starting with my. Holy shit, it's almost time.

Holy shit.

This guy is a fool.

Holy shit. My blood pressure is. Oh, my God. And I think it's y'all.

Buy a peloton, yo.

I think it's y'all. That driving.

You don't think it has anything to do with, like, the amount of steak that you consume?

Oh, I stopped eating so much steak.

Okay, all right.

You just down exercising and all that.

Not the way I should be.

Me either, though. I'm not shooting at you.

I'm just saying you can shoot at me. Body shame me.

I'm not. That's you.

That's your bag.

I'm good.

Stupid ass. Drew Ski.

That video was funny.

That's funny. So it did kind of look like.

You brought back the football.

You should have had the Spanx on.

Yeah, me.

You should have. Yeah, me.

Yo, you know what I never learned in my career, my whole career, yo.

That the basketball suit ain't really.

Your shit.

Football, Basketball age.

I think it's the most flattering look for you.

Shut up, Bart. It really wasn't. It's never worked for me.

It never really has.

I had to stop letting people just tape me. Anytime somebody tape me, anytime I don't have control of the footage, something bad happens. Like, we going to shoot the Drewski behind me. We lost. He just started taping. And I'll be going to pages, so I won't be knowing just how popular people are. I just know Drew Ski's killing.

Yes.

Then I went to his page. You got, like, 9 million followers.

Wow.

So if you post something that's not so flattering.

9 million.

When you put the jersey on, like, did they give you different size options? Like, was large available?

No.

Extra large? Was 2x available?

You could have went AI. You could have went AI with the fit.

Yeah, he couldn't fix that because it.

Had his name on the back. They have him in all sizes with the button on the back.

But they also do have male compression garments.

I also don't mind my little winter fall pouch until somebody with 9, 10 million followers post your ugly ass turtle looking body on their popular ass page. But it's fine. It didn't change my self worth. It didn't change how I view myself. I'm not doing this with y'all.

Y'all.

No, I didn't. No, I didn't. I hate y'all.

I bet you get a treadmill or something soon. I bet you that.

Oh, no, I'm gonna start moving

Yeah, fantastic.

Amazing.

What's up, man? We good?

How was your birthday?

It was absolutely amazing a time.

I heard.

I heard you would have enjoyed yourself. It was absolutely your vibe.

Listen, let me tell you something. I heard it was a slice.

It was your vibe.

And I know that I would have wanted to stay there really late. I had to work the next day, and I would have been no good. That's the only reason.

How drunk did you get?

I wasn't that drunk. I'm a host. I can't be that. I can't be that.

That's true.

That's true. But I did smoke a fair amount of marijuana and maybe a couple mushroom nibbles. Don't do drugs out there, kids. But I had a blast, and I.

Definitely would have wanted to partake in all of that. So.

Yo, nobody asked why you didn't come. Like, why? You keep saying why? You keep saying, oh, I had to work and I would have wanted to stay. And nobody was requesting your presence.

Shut up.

I had some of the most fun at Park's kickback that I probably had all year long. I'm not gonna lie to you, man.

We just laughed for six to eight hours straight.

Everything and everybody in there was hilarious. Yeah, everything was hilarious.

That would have been the podcast of the year. Honestly.

Dead ass.

Dead ass. What a time. I want to shout out Parks and his lovely wife, REM for being amazing hosts. Like, they do know how to throw a kickback. The food was delicious. Both friend groups. Amazing. Got along.

What else?

And just the conversations in there, we uncovered a lot. We did. We uncovered a lot.

The raisins may or may not have been a racist.

The California Raisins. Yeah, that's. That set the night off. It really did.

That's where it started.

The California Raisins. Yeah, that was racist.

It was a little.

It was, you know, it's blackface, black faceish caricature. Ish.

There was dark skin, mama.

Yo, it looked real bad as an adult. We pulled it up.

They was cooling.

They was cooling. Yeah. The California Raisins. The white gloves.

The grapes had gloves on.

Yes.

Yeah, yeah, it looks really bad.

Were they supposed to be the Four Tops?

Was that.

That.

Was that who they were kind of like mimicking themselves after?

Yeah, I heard that one before, too.

Okay.

Yeah, it looks bad. Yeah, it looks really, really, really, really, really bad.

You gotta be pretty high to come up with that, though.

Word. I ain't gonna lie. I'm sitting here. The commercial was 30 years ago, but I'm sitting here like, yeah, yeah.

Shout out to my man Zeke, man. He's a. He thinks different.

Yeah, no, he's a trip.

He'd be the greatest pirate in the world if he wasn't too busy farming. And he is trying to save the world.

No Parks friends is funny, like, dark. My type of humor. My type of dark, twisted. Holy shit, he just said that type of humor. Then I got to learn about some of my friends.

Oh, that's true.

Like, again, I learned that I don't really know much about my friends. I like it that way, too. But sometimes, like, Vern was there. I learned that Vern was drafted by the Mets.

Facts, I know that.

Why did everybody know that Vern was drafted by the Mets except for me? And then they all had the nerve to look at me as if I should have known this fact about Vern. I'm like, yeah, that's exactly what I thought. Watching him run around and punch people in the face for over 10 years, I was like, yo, you know what? You might got a nice arm. This guy comes from a really professional background. This guy could have been drafted somewhere before. So now, for the rest of the night, I'm doing the Vern doc in my head because now he moves up the list. He has the best doc.

He has a great doc. And he. The baseball game was on, so it was all appropriate.

He went from pitching for the Mets to the people he met from pitching. He once had a promising future till he tore out his fucking shoulder blade and had to turn to the streets. Yo, it was a movie. It was a movie. Vern being drafted by the Mets. That blew me away.

I didn't know.

What a Snapple fact to learn at the kickback. Oh, okay. Y'all know about Vern. All right, Shout out to Vern.

I didn't know about that shit. I'm just listening.

And shout out to the Mets. Congratulations to the New York Liberty, huh? Hey, congratulations to the New York Liberty, huh? Gotta love when some bad calls go your way.

Way.

I'm still mad.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm from New York, like, originally, so I'm not going to argue this, but it was trash. That was a really bad call.

Yeah, Trash.

And to take it a step further, I think she traveled. I think that was a walk. It was the worst. They called it N1.

It was the worst five minutes of fish eating I've ever seen. That whole overtime, the whole.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that Link's coach had every right to black out.

I respect that. Like, I don't wanna be gracious after I lose.

Move your mic up.

I don't wanna be gracious after I lose. I wanna talk. I wanna talk shit. Fuck the rest.

If you lose in a fucked up way.

That's what I'm talking about.

If you lose in a fucked up way on some bullshit, but if you just lose f. You look like the unsportsmanlike asshole.

Yeah, exactly.

I ain't see it.

It was egregious.

It was egregious. It was pretty egregious. But congratulations to the New York. Pulled out a first championship ever.

I hate when New York wins anything.

Oh, it's right here. Philly. I forgot.

We forget when New York wins. Y'all. Y'all are obnoxious, disgusting.

Winners.

Winners. Yeah.

You from Philly, right?

We are.

Then. Then last year.

How are you guys different?

We respectful. You know, y'all got a precinct in the stadium. They got rid of the precinct. They got rid of the precinct like batteries. This is what always bring up the precious.

Did any other stadium have a precinct?

Yeah, they got a few.

Oh, okay. All right.

But we were the first. We were like the.

The staple.

Yeah.

If you'll get your ass whooped in if you come in here on some rah rah yo.

Because people were coming in disrespectful, wearing other teams jerseys.

That's disrespectful. As that sportsman.

Like in Philadelphia.

You giving me my keep saying Philadelphia. That's a Knicks building to me.

Exactly.

Yeah.

We came up there and tore that up last year, right? Yeah.

And then ain't y'all had to give away tickets to get y'all to come and reduce the price?

Not. Not quite. That's not right.

And now y'all are going to be a Jersey team soon.

That's true.

We're going to play in New Jersey.

And be a Jersey.

I mean, practice in New Jersey maybe, but we're going to have it. We're going to try and keep that stadium in Philadelphia. It going to be like the Giants that play in East Rutherford, Right? Same shit.

I ain't seen the Giants game. I don't know where they play.

Good.

You think I'm watching a Giants game? Are you shitting me?

Because they got their ass whooped by the Eagles this weekend.

Listen, we are trying to congratulate the New York Liberty.

Shout out to them. Shout out to women's basketball. Shout out to women's basketball.

Here you go. Come around.

Is that a narrative? I'm just saying, look, they are opting out of their collective bargaining agreement. Now they want more immediately. They're like, we want more money.

That's the way I was about to go. Yeah.

That's genius to me.

I love that. They deserve more. Women's basketball deserve more.

Based on what?

Based on the fact that it's growing as a sport and the NBA as a template. It did the same thing.

I already kicked you out my corner office.

No, they.

They. As soon as you said it's growing like a sport, I closed, slammed.

You don't think it's growing as a sport? How many NBA, WNBA championships we celebrated on the show before? Right? Nobody cared before. Every year more people cared.

Liberty, different. No, I care. When? Baby, Last year. I kid.

Last year we did, but fair enough. But even that speaks to it.

South Carolina and South Carolina college. South Carolina. Big part in that. Like. I'm not here to argue that part. What I'm saying is, is they've been running a business that has been reporting losses.

True.

So now with the first sign of growth, y'all come into corner office and say, pay us or lockout. Cool. What about the money that we lost?

But what I'm saying is, I think.

Even this year, they are reporting 40 million in losses.

The NBA was losing money all through the 70s. They kept dumping money into it. They kept dumping money into it. The NBA was losing money. When Magic and Bird got drafted, they kept dumping money until it was also.

Paying them crack niggas plumbers in the off season and putting them on the Greyhound, making them walk to the next venue.

But that's what's happening in wnba.

Yeah, the same thing. So follow the same model. Keep dumping money in. I'm not saying give everybody $20 million contracts. I'm saying keep dumping money into the league. They deserve more money than they give.

Yeah.

At least give them contracts where they can pay their fucking rent.

Well, y'all are not y'all. I'm just saying in our hypothetical, because I don't want to talk about their process. I'm rooting for them to get paid, but somebody has to get on the other side of this. I think that y'all can't come in the first three seconds that we go in to speak to people to get our money back and say, hey, we need more. You're. You're cut. I just don't get that. Even in the league, which most of the owners are the same, they fucking waited until all of the big money was infused in each generation. And now we've seen it big time with the china money and the TV rights money and so forth and so on. And now the contracts are just reduced. Ridiculous that the wnba.

You have to go through your crown pains.

Yeah, sorry.

This is. But I'm just saying.

And you know Caitlin Clark. Yeah.

The white girl. They was mistreating.

So we gonna talk about you caping already, bro. They did mistreat Caitlyn Clark.

They did mistreat.

Who's they? Oh, come on.

All right, come on.

I'm not being funny. I. I love Caitlyn Clark, but I ain't see her get mistreated. If anything, I thought Angel Reese got mistreated. I gotta hear this. How did Caitlin Clark get mistreated? How did y'all Michel Mack and Deja Princess get.

I'm standing up, it's minding my business, and somebody just come knock me on the ground.

They was it up every game.

Michael Jordan, that same happened to him.

And he got mistreated. And when we. And we. When we rehashed Michael Jordan, we said, Yo, LeBron could never play in this generation because they was whooping Michael Jordan's ass in mistreating him, slamming them out the air. All types of. That's mistreatment.

I don't think so. I think this is a hard foul to get. I think rookie should give heart foul.

I think anything a hard foul all season long enough for.

Not exactly.

I'm not even going to the just.

Off the strength that you popular, Mark. That is miss. That is mistreatment. 1. When the legends of the game, I.e Cheryl swoops and some of the rest of them that have been just having her under a microscope, kicking her back in. That is also mistreatment. The white girl ain't said a word. All she did was keep getting better. All of that. All of that talk that she had to endure just by not being selected to the Olympic team. Like, she don't be asking for none of this stuff.

No, she don't.

It's all mistreatment.

And look, and I'm still.

She ain't doing nothing. But everybody paid. So now we got one. Now we're gonna have another one coming in a few years when homegirl comes. Juju, juju, juju. Come like they coming.

And that's the magic of let them.

Yeah, let them come first before the rest of y'all just run in here and start demanding the cut. Now, I do want anybody to get paid, and I do want you to talk about that jersey that Angel Reese had on at the game.

What jersey?

Little split jersey.

Oh, we got him.

No.

She'S black.

Split jerk. Yeah, yeah, but I want him to do it for all women, Kate Clark included. Don't just do it for the black women.

But I love Caitlyn Clark.

He called her the milk of magnesia princess.

Is you talking about.

I'm talking about black men in general. I've never seen so many people cape for women's basketball.

Because she getting mistakes.

That's what makes it. That's grewin.

But I'm saying, we ain't got protected that much. Let her play hard like everybody else. Let her take an L like everybody else. Nobody was crying for Michael Jordan. Nobody's crying for LeBron. I'm saying, did she get foul hard? Yeah.

And people do cry for Bron. They want to cry for Mike. They cry for Braun.

That's true.

I want to get back to the winners. Let's get back to the winners again. New York, the jersey, half, half Liberty, half links.

Oh, I respect that. If neither team is mine and I'm in the finals, you can't. You can't sport. You can't wear a team.

You can just wear it out.

You can either don't wear nothing, wear.

My sky jersey, or wear both.

Which is like saying, I'm just supporting the sport. What's wrong with that?

Yeah, the Justice League put your cape together, right?

He got it from Thor. You got your shit directly from Thor.

Betty Ross sold your sh.

She got that from, like, the pander version of lids. Like, hey, I want to appeal to everybody. I know it's cameras here. This is the most attention that we gonna get. So let me put on a jersey for them and a jersey for them. She's 22, so I'm letting it slide.

Yes.

But just know there's a string of just.

What's she supposed to wear, though? That's what I understand.

Clothes.

Oh, you said don't wear nobody's jersey.

Get dressed and go to the game.

I agree with that. I wouldn't wear no. Neither team. Personally, the competitor to me is like, if I gotta beat one of these teams next year and both of them in the finals and I'm not, I don't want to rock neither. They.

That's what I'm saying. But I'm. I'm shutting up. I'm shutting up.

Supporting the team.

I don't even think they were showing the team. I think it's solidarity with every single woman in the league.

That's what I meant.

Like, it's like the greater good of the situation is to show support for all of your fellow teammates and even your competitors. So that's what I see.

The.

If you can wear one, you got to wear the split. Right. Because you support in the sport. But I wouldn't do either as a competitor.

I agree with that.

You do that by showing up, though. I agree with Corey. You just show up and support.

But, you know, yeah, whatever you do, don't agree with these three.

I'm down with you.

No, for real, Nick.

You put four fingers up, so it's like there's somebody in the middle ain't that powerful.

And shout out to our brother here with us.

Freeze.

Yeah, we love you, Freeze. Congratulations to the Liberty. That white girl Sabrina was out there like, she didn't go fucking 1 foot 31.

She was heaving them shits, too.

I'm so mad that the Knicks didn't get one when John Starks did that. Fucking oj.

But anyway, if I'm Sabrina, I carried this organization on my back the last couple years. I don't care if I shot. I couldn't hit the ocean with a rock, nigga. I'm running around going crazy.

Just like. Also, she did good. Some of y'all kicked my back in with my commentary about the Liberties win in the last series. Y'all kicked my back in. I just want to point out to y'all specifically that them fourth quarter lineups in the finals looked very different from them fourth quarter lineups in the last series. That's all I'm gonna say to you. That's all I'm gonna say it ain't important, but them black girls that was on the bench, they wasn't so much on the bench no more. What the are y'all talking about?

And it was making plays.

Yeah, Killing. Killing. That last series shouldn't have been that rough. They put some people out there, but I don't want to. Hey, it's my first few years paying attention to this, so I don't want to bring in the racism with me. I don't want to do that.

Shout out to the Yankees. Shout out to the Yankees.

And then we moving on, but Shout out to the Yankees. We are in the World Series. The game was on at Park's house.

Yeah.

We crowded around the TV with Juan Soto at the bat. He kept throwing him, kept putting bat on ball. Another one, bop. I said, oh, uh oh.

Keep playing, uh oh.

It's happening already. It's too late.

I'm getting your time in.

It's happening. I'm waiting for the pitch I like. And I'm gonna give you a hundred fouls and you gonna get tired and I'm gonna send this shit. That nigga.

Pow wow.

My God, he's 25 years old. He's 25 years old. Filthy.

He about to get paid.

Paid.

He deserve it.

Yeah. Oh, my Lord. Man, I keep fucking with my dad, saying he gonna be a Met, but I don't think the Yankees gonna walk out.

It's gonna be a monster series too.

Go Dodgers.

Yo, and that's my point. And that's my point.

I wouldn't care if they was playing the Klan All Stars. I'm telling you right now, I'm not for the fucking Yankees.

Damn.

All right, man.

So is it going to be the Dodgers and the Yankees?

Yeah, okay, that's great for baseball, but.

This is my thing just to come full circle here. Like we started with the liberty and the bad call. Like the theme here is it's just too much money in money, sports money. Like we gonna see who we want to see there.

Unless you blow them by force. You have to win, undoubtedly, like blow you out the gym. But any chance that the referees can make calls or sway the game to where the big markets that are going to generate revenue for the sport are going to play. That's what's happening.

Yeah, listen, that World Series is about to generate. Lord, who knows what. Billy is about to look like an All Star.

The lowest tickets already are like thousand dollars or something.

Yeah.

Wow.

No, no buy. Cause I'm trying to buy tickets for my dad. All the tickets Are sold out. And now you gotta hit the secondary market. Yeah. And that thousand dollar number, that's not.

Gonna be there for long.

It probably ain't there right now.

It's not there now. I was looking at $7,000.

And you upstairs with this.

You might be upstairs. And behind the plate was 14 and 15,000 for one.

Wow.

Bicoastal. LA versus New York.

I gotta say my dad for that word, Series.

It's gonna go crazy.

Gotta say it's gonna go crazy.

Your dad's a Yankees fan.

Yankee fiend.

Yeah, Mr. Yankee.

Get him a game. Get him. Early games, though. Don't get them. Try. Don't buy no games. Six, game seven. It's not gonna last that long. I'm just saying I don't want to be disappointed. Like, get them like a game one.

Game two, something like that.

You know what I mean? I don't want.

You follow baseball.

I do.

And you believe this?

I do.

You want to bet?

No.

No.

I'm halfway talking shit because I'm trying to wish it into existence.

Here we go.

I ain't gonna lie.

Here we go.

Yeah, I'm wishing that into existence. I want y'all to lose in five, gentlemen. Sweet.

All right, I have the Yankees winning and how many?

Six.

If it goes. That'll be the most. Yeah.

I think the Dodgers have a better lineup, but I think the Yankees can certainly win.

Y'all don't have pitching.

As I was saying, y'all have pitching.

Yeah, we have better pitching than y'all, for sure. We got a few things.

And when you play in New York, it's like playing in somebody backyard. Home runs just come. Like Little West Stadium.

Yeah.

And I don't know if Shotani shows up in New York with all the different places that you can place wages like Shotani. He might even miss the game. He might be on Dykeman at the spot. With Papi?

No, with Shorty.

Don't two of them want them? Yeah, no, for sure. All right, so what do you want to get to? What do you want to get to? And wait, before we get to it, my last thing on that, players threatening a lockout thing with the wnba. I forgot to say when I went to Indianapolis or when we went to Indianapolis and spoke to who I'll call a source, they was like, yeah, we had to move the venue of the game when the Fever came to town. And when the Fever left, we right back to regular attendance. The army armories that we've been playing, playing in. So, like, let's wait till that gets a little more common, is all I'm saying. Before we get to that, they definitely just. They just announced the ratings for the WNBA finals. Great. Let me hit the round. Best ever, right? Huh?

Best ever. It was the best ratings.

Yeah, for sure. Yeah, it was. Yeah. I want to find you. There's no applause enough. Here we go. Game one, 1.1 million. Game two, 1.35 million. Game three, 1.4 million. Game four, 1.7 million. Game five, 2.1 million viewers.

Oh, man, that's amazing.

Without Caitlin.

Without Caitlin.

With no Caitlyn.

Yo.

And this is the Tee hee hee. As you would say, that Milk would have had them ratings about 5, 6, 7.

Milk.

Oh, yeah, that milk.

That ass. 6, 7 million.

Yeah, that's just.

And if she would have started showing off. Cause she's nice. She'd start showing off out there and doing some other shit. Yeah, they'd have went through even higher.

Yeah, I think she on the ass next season again. Yeah, right back on the ass.

I agree.

All right, let's talk about this.

Hold on. Came in here. You sat down regular. You know, I see a bandage on your hand. You have yet to address that.

That.

You have yet to.

Somebody jumped on your ass.

Yeah.

Like you have yet to tell me what's going on. I asked you outside. You see what. Tell me inside. And I'm worried about you.

I was concerned, too.

Yeah. Like when you jerked off the wrong.

Way, somebody jumped on your ass again.

You beat off the wrong way.

I love. I love you. I was gonna say.

Yeah.

I was gonna ask.

Hey. Okay.

Yo, what's up, man?

Nobody jumped him. You didn't jump on time?

I had this thing on.

Yeah.

There was a story here.

It was a story attached. And I got jumped on. So now y'all see it and think I got jumped on again.

No, I don't think what happened.

You would have heard in the streets if I got jumped on. You would have heard somehow I called you for help. I'd have called you for help.

What's going on, Joe?

Well, Friday I came into work. Friday I came into work and everything fine. And I went home and everything was fine. Also, I don't think I went out Friday night. Right. So everything was fine. Then Saturday came.

You didn't have it on Saturday?

I didn't have this on Saturday, but it was hurting. But by the time I picked my son up on Saturday, I was in some pain in my. In my.

Welcome to that mid-40s. Welcome to the mid-40s. That should come out of nowhere.

Get injured.

Get.

Getting off the couch, yo.

And then as the. As the day continued. Yeah, that's really what I want to talk about. What y'all are talking about. It's a real.

That's a real thing, yo.

So Saturday comes, I go pick up my son, and the pain gets increasingly worse as the day goes on.

Is it radiating?

But I don't tell nobody, because I'm a man.

I'm a man. That's true.

I want to even talk about that part for a second. Second. I was in a lot of pain. And why, like, men are real. Just stupid.

Agreed.

Yeah. We got something in us that's just.

Now we tough.

Universally stupid. I didn't tell nobody I love or that loves me somehow. I thought, if I just man this.

Out, it's going to go away.

It'll go away.

Toxic.

And then I went to Park's house and had a slice. I had a blast. Oh, my God. Most fun I've had probably all year. Left there and couldn't take my dirty ass straight home. I had to just make a quick little run.

I mean, I'm already over here.

So I hit the spot for about 10 to 15 minutes. But even in there, I now could no longer even hold my phone with my left wrist. Oh, I couldn't smoke with my left wrist. Now I'm kneeling down and smoking like a crack.

Like a crackhead.

And when a lady would make a certain gesture around me, like, if she even hit my hand, touched my hand, anything, massive pain. And then that continued into Sunday, and it kept getting worse. And then I finally caved and told my girl, like, yo, I miss you.

That's.

My wrist hurt.

What you said I missed you.

I really love you. Yo. Niggas are such bitches when they down, when they got some ailments.

Yeah, Yeah.

I was missing her and shit. Like, where are you to take care of me? Yeah, take care of me. So it wasn't until Monday when Ian and Keeb got to me, that I decided to finally put this risk to this risk. Long story. Less long. And noticed that this was swollen. And, you know, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out where this came from or what happened. I thought my son might have jumped on me in my sleep or just anything. And then they said, yeah, that commercial you shot.

Oh, shit.

Which was Thursday, the one with the jersey. But I was.

Yes, it was squeezing you that time.

At least I squeezed your hand through the.

Were you actually playing basketball?

Yo, Mark.

Hey, yo, have you tried to tackle.

Your hand on the back floor talking about some serious. Y'all is laughing.

This is why we don't talk about.

It. Be the smart hook that laugh at the wrong time and then you go.

To make a layout.

Let me hear my man's story. I feel bad for my man.

Go ahead, bro.

That's good for you. Soon, that commercial.

But I was totally fine when I left, so I would have never thought about the commercial. But that's how old I am too. That I don't even know where is. I don't know nothing. But that commercial. I ain't been on a basketball court in ages. Like years. Once. One, two, like on a basketball court. I ain't out there just shooting. Like, I like to be down low, get dirty elbows jumping around, doing fucking bruiser type shit. This commercial, I was shooting, like from the three point line. Like they had the racks.

Oh, shit.

Yo, so bigger risk.

I was going to wait. You were actually trying to make it make the basketball.

No, the point was to not make it. So you're shooting in competition. This eight pound ball for eight and nine hours straight.

And it was eight pound balls.

Why would.

Regulation ball.

Oh, no.

They're like a pound and a half, two pounds.

They're not even that.

Maybe not even that.

Y'all are wrong.

That is a medicine ball.

We could both be wrong.

That's like in the gym. We could both be wrong.

Yo, what's up with you, bro?

We could both be wrong.

But this ball's like a pound.

No, it's not.

It's not even a pound.

Her mother found out it ain't eight pounds. Eight pounds is like exercise.

Eight pounds is a medicine.

And I'm wrong.

22 ounces. Thank you.

How many pounds is that?

Two pounds.

That's a pound and a half. 16 ounces. A pound.

16 ounces.

All right, so I'm dumb, y'all.

Pound and a quarter.

Should have referred to my brothers. But anyway, I shot that man time more than I ever shoot in a game. Stupid ass wrist. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. And broke some shit. I feel so less black. Like, I'm feeling less black.

Where does the less black part come in?

Cause he ain't an athlete.

Cause how do you break or tear something from shooting a ball as a black person?

Well, how often are you doing this motion in real. In your regular life?

I'm never doing. I'm never working that muscle, which is why I'm all fucked up.

Yes. That's how Isaiah Thomas permanently fractured his wrist shooting too many jump Shots over the summer. So if you feel like he did it too. The same thing happened to Isiah Thomas. Just trying to help.

I love that.

Make you feel better.

I'm not sure my contract is signed. I'm making.

So I injured myself by shooting a basketball in a commercial. Oh, and now I remember why I didn't go nowhere Friday night too. Cuz we left work. It was nice weather out. I'm sick of this. All this nice weather, this 80 degree in October. Let it come for Halloween when the chicks get dressed. But after that I'm ready for some gloom and some rain. But anyway, Friday night hot weather. What do I do? Take my hot ass out, hop in my new little. You know what I mean? And drive up the street all of 92nd Drive and parked.

But it just self drive.

The rari and I got out and just was around.

They was in there.

People that hang out on a Friday night. I was looking around in there, it's like, yo, what are you doing?

Do you feel like hot stuff getting out of your Ferrari?

That's what I'm saying, yo. I felt like the biggest loser. Like, what are you doing here? You look stupid. I made a U turn, parked in the front backwards, hopped out looking like I was supposed to perform at the Garden. Walked in, jewelry on people just there having a good time. Like just broke like. Look at him looking dumb in the face. Look at him looking stupid as hell in a Ferrari. Nigga, it's beretta night. Then I ordered me a little juice, took my stupid ass back in the house and just sulked and that's it. Stayed home.

So you injured your wrist by shooting.

The ball and driving a Ferrari?

Damn, dog.

I mean next time nigga, you know, think about your man's when you shooting a commercial. Maybe I could have been there and helped you wrist pause. You know what I'm saying?

No, yo, nothing.

I don't give a y. Can't say nothing.

Please, sir.

Yeah, yeah, I shake the cup. Actually though I'm doing my own with them anyway. So I shake the cup.

But I like, I like, I like, I like what your thought process is right now. Do you think that you're advertiser friendly?

I am.

Okay.

I think they think so. I think the other company thinks so. I can't say they think so. They reached out.

Do you? Yeah. Do you? Do you?

You're just my man and I respect you. So I ain't jumping. I hit you up.

Yeah.

Stop playing.

Wait, I'm stopping you from taking a hand.

You're not stopping me, but I think that it'll be counterproductive.

Conflict of interest.

I think it'll be a conflict of interest if the competitor is doing it. And I think they trying to just do something funny. Why you sending me an email? I'm not that.

Okay, well, be clear. If it's one thing, that's the only way I can get on ever be is a conflict of interest. The second that exists, it was exist.

It's over me. Right. So you won't. You won't try to match it.

My interest will never be in conflict.

And not with a person out there. No, no, no. You think I like you guys?

Do you think about the ex, Mel? Does she think she's advertiser friendly? And I think she is.

Were you gonna ask that?

I was gonna ask Mel if she thought you were advertising friendly.

Oh, damn.

So you do you think you're advertising friendly?

Yes.

Is do I think so that you are.

So.

So I got some work to do.

Mark.

Nope.

For real.

Too controversial.

You learn. They learned him. You learned your lesson, right? Yeah. You was trying to stand on.

Mr. Trump said flip.

Now I want to be a flip you.

I have fallen, Bart.

I could probably advertise something.

Got it.

Techniques.

Nice Whiskey Pro Tools.

Yeah. Nice Whiskey Pro. Yeah, I see.

That's. That's. That's funny though, that you know that.

That's fine.

That you know that you're controversial. Because it is true. It is true.

It makes life easier if you know that.

Yeah.

Stay out of trouble.

That makes sense.

Kendrick and Sza. Sza interviewed Kendrick for Harper's Bazaar, I believe. Yeah.

I think it was the first time they said there was a male alone on a cover in however many years.

Really?

Yeah.

Wow.

And they let Sza do the interview.

Harper's Bazaar.

Yeah.

That's big. That's amazing.

Well, everything he does is going to be big, Paul.

That's big though.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay, well, I've got some quotes if you guys would like me to break out the readers.

Girl, she got the jet blue glasses. That's the jet blue pack.

I'mma buy you some glasses. I'mma get you some.

You know what we're going to do. You like my glasses?

I do, actually.

Thank you. Okay. But hey, I got you. Please do. Okay. 1.75.

Wait, hold up.

Flip. Like them too.

Hold up for a second. A flip. A flip.

What what the was.

What the was that? Stop.

Hey. What was that?

Pull the mic closer because I want to talk to you.

Stop.

Mom, please. I've Been around pleased opinions about my glasses.

I'm the new person.

She stop, dog. She don't play.

I'm sorry.

My phone.

Okay. During their candid. During their candid conversation, Kendrick reflected on his personal growth, stating the power of honesty and being honest with myself. Learning that vulnerability is not a weakness. Joe, take notes. He shared how difficult it was.

Wait, you think. I think vulnerability is a weakness.

Your. Your wrist is a perfect example of me. Your wrist is literally an example of that.

I will not center myself.

Your wrist is literally an example of that right now. Now.

Cuz I don't want people to know. Wait, what's my risk?

Vulnerability.

Vulnerable.

There we go. And you didn't tell anybody until it got to be excruciating pain. Oh, that's c. But I digress. He shared how difficult it was to shed the emotional restraints instilled in him during childhood. Explaining my pops. He was tough. He never showed no weakness. He never showed any emotion that could garner a oneup from the person sitting across from him. And when asked about his recent emotional experiences, Kendrick admitted. Now. Yeah, I have to confirming that he has been crying more frequently. Oh, I think that's lovely.

That's so touching.

I think that is just.

Thank you for taking us right to the emo part of the article.

I mean, that's the big part of the article.

I guess that's the first time I.

Even heard that part about the article.

I don't even remember that part.

Well, for some reason, they seem to think that, you know, a strong, strapping man who's like a powerhouse in hip hop. Talking about his vulnerability and his ability to cry is a very big moment to share.

Okay.

It's ironic though, that the dude that he defeated so soundly in the beef is known for being vulnerable and crying and all that shit. Like, Drake got clown for it. He's getting celebrated for it. And I'm not a Drake like, fan at all, but I'm just saying it is interesting. Once you on top, anything you do is acceptable. Like. Like Drake could never get away with an article like that without getting dragged for it.

I mean, that's Cap.

Yeah, he'd been getting.

He got a wild ad out right now.

I missed it. What's the ad?

Oh, why is it wild?

You saw it?

I did.

Oh, Y'all see checking it.

I think I seen it, but y'all.

Should see it first.

Before I say, why you got the duck mouth?

No, no. That's something. Talking different.

Where can we find this ad on this page?

Go look at It. But you know what? I looked at this differently than you, Mark. I felt like this is him coming around, having to pander back to the pansies. Like, I killed King Pansy to him. I'm not calling him that, but I killed King Pansy, but I lost some pansies in the process, so I got to come back around and appeal to them, like, with all this vulnerable.

I think that's true, too, but Kendrick's.

Always been vulnerable musically.

That's true.

What?

What?

Yeah, if you dress like a Mexican.

The whole.

Yeah, yeah, that one.

That one.

I've seen that.

Oh, yeah, I've seen it.

To me, that's just corny, but I.

Don'T think it's wild.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, some I wouldn't do.

Definitely wouldn't do this for the right bag.

Owned in it.

Yeah.

Sombrero, the whole.

Oh, yeah. What?

What?

Poncho.

Yeah. Kendrick. Kendrick has always been vulnerable in his music. I don't really have nothing to say about him. And. And says, s. J. Cole want to be scissor so bad. That's what I got. That's what I got from this. Well, SZA gets to go make all of the slaps with Drake and be besties with Kendrick and beat this. Be totally neutral.

But she's a woman. Yeah, some woman.

That's sexist.

It's not really.

It is.

You're right.

Wait, how is it sexist?

Because if you're my friend, you're supposed to choose up regardless. The same rules that apply to a man are supposed to apply to a.

Woman, and we're friends, but double standards apply.

That's right.

I mean, I think sexist. Well, I think that the. I think that what the root of the conflict is is just kind of rooted in masculinity. So, like, women kind of get a, you know, a pass out of it.

You're gonna find a woman pass in anything. So I ain't about to argue it at wnba Liberty. Yeah, I ain't about to argue it.

I would.

She just gets to. Yeah, exactly.

I would feel away if. If I got beef with somebody that struggled. I mean, especially now that, you know, he canceling shows on people kicking people out the country. If we got beef like that, you can't make a song with the other person. Man, woman, child. I don't care who it is.

Yeah, but on the flip side, let's just say I'm SZA and I'm having a beef with a woman. What man is saying, oh, I'm actively going to be on your side. Drake, give me an example.

I don't think Drake, when Nikki be at the height of some of her shit is going to go make a song with these people.

Like when Meek and Drake was going at it. I didn't really see no songs with Nikki and Drake until the beef was over. And that's when they did the joint with Wayne and with her and Wayne. Like. But like during the time you can't do that. You can't stand next to somebody.

Yeah. It's not very many people that would get this neutral off. Like. Like.

Well Nikki's from. You know where she's from.

So no, I'm saying. But Drake wouldn't and he from Canada.

But also isn't the difference the fact that Scissor is R and B and.

This is slaps with Drake came before beef. At least the good point.

That's a good point. That's fair.

Outward.

Yeah. So it's not like she's actively making music right now with Drake is a.

Sexy Red song is on the same album as first person Shooter. Right?

Yeah.

All right. Both of them.

She.

She had the other. The slime. Slime for you.

And the sexy R. Sorry, J. Cole. She also says Scissor says. Can I ask you a hyper masculine question? You can also tell me to shut the fuck up. What does not like us mean to you? Kendrick laughing. Not like us. Not like us is the energy of who I am, the type of man I represent. Now if you identify with the man that I represent, SZA says break that man down for me. Kendrick says, nice comeback. This man has moral, he has values. See, that's Oppie for me.

Because you're engaging Oppie.

As in her question is Abby.

It's not because this is her label. Made friend, frequent mentor, collaborate. Yeah, but just still. But she break that. Break the man down for me is an alley. Oop.

Yes.

For what though? No, I think that's an amazing question from an interview.

No, alley.

Both.

No, no.

It could be both to shit.

He says it could be both. But I don't see it as an alley.

Okay. I'm talking about how I see it.

Okay.

He says this man has morals, he has values. He believes in something, he stands on something. He's not pandering. He's a man who can recognize his mistakes and not be afraid to share the mistakes and can dig dig deep down into fear based ideology or experiences to be able to express them without feeling like he's less of a man. If I'm thinking of not like us, I'm thinking of me. And whoever identifies with that put the.

Spit on that thing.

Great answer.

I respect that answer.

Who's a great answer?

Very diplomatic. And who's considered king pandering and obscure as shit?

I think it's a great answer.

Great answer. And I think it was a great question.

I think that the Internet is dragging him for this. For this.

Really?

Really.

Well, are they accusing him of being. What are they calling it?

The Crocker and just say the song is about Drake. But those might be the Drake fans.

But even.

But he might.

I think it was.

I think it's both. He might feel like Drake is lacking morals.

This to me was 100 about Drake. And he slam dunk the alley to diss the person he was trying to diss.

Exactly.

He's just doing it in the Harper bizarre way, subtle way. The same way he used the super bowl commercial to shoot in a Super bowl subtle type of way. Like he's just going to keep firing.

I respect it.

I think that that was just an amazing answer.

Classy.

Definitely shady.

Classy and shady.

I feel like Drake is considered.

Yo, class is shady. Shady shade. Oh, yeah, yeah.

What you think classism is based on?

No, don't shade less than you.

No, the word.

I just meant having class and you.

Looking down on that. You think? Don't Hannah.

No, I don't think that that's what class actually means. I don't think that there's like a. A connection between classism and classy. Classy. Classy.

To me.

To me, classy means dignified.

And the people that are less than are what?

Not classy. It's. It's definitely drawing an immediate comparison.

It's a comparison. It's a comparative.

It might be, but I mean, like I've met. I've met motherfuckers that are like, that have $20 million and ain't got an ounce of class.

Money don't have nothing to do with class.

But if you're paying. But if you're drawing. But if you're drawing a connection between classy and classism, then yes, we are talking about money.

Yes, yes and no. But when people call somebody classy, nobody says Donald Trump is classy. Donald Trump is rich.

He's rich, right? Yes.

So there's not a guaranteed money by class.

Right.

So what I'm, I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. There's not a guaranteed correlation between money and class. So when you look down on somebody for being class, less you looking.

See, that's the Part where I'm lost in this. If somebody has classified class to me, that don't say that they're looking down on the person without class. No, but when you start classism. Class looking down.

And that's what I'm saying is I. There is no correlation between being classy and classism.

To me, I think I'm with her on that one.

There's not. Because like I said, you can have all the money in the world and.

Laugh class, but you keep bringing money in, leave money outside. Money has nothing to do.

But that's my point is that classism has nothing to do with being classy. You don't have to have a dime in. In. You don't have to have a dime.

I mean, the reason she said she's keeping money, I think she said money, dog.

You listen to this. A lot of people we know that are.

Damn.

I only gonna say we know groups of people that may not have money, but they still look down on other people as if there are a higher class than those people. You know, it's not. It has nothing to do with their financial standing.

Like, I get what you're saying too.

Yeah. But.

So I think the correlation that is.

He saying it is. He's saying, for example, like, if you like a bougie black person that go to Jack and Jill and you ain't got no money, you might look down on somebody that's not in Jack and Jill. Not in Jack and Jill, even though y'all both broke. You know what I mean? But I think, I think.

Okay, so. But is that like. So now we're talking about elitism.

And I think y'all are talking. I think y'all are basically saying the same thing, but talking past each other. But I think the whole point is being classy to me is about a certain idea of how you're supposed to operate in society.

Yes.

But it is tied to what we think elites are supposed to be. So when we say that's why there's like an irony to it when Donald Trump isn't classic. Cuz it's like, look at him. He's not even acting like somebody should act who has this thing.

And the elites don't even really accept him.

Right.

They don't fuck with him like that.

Because he's classless and they think he doesn't fit into the standard of what you're supposed to have. But it's always been the rich who define that.

They swayed me back to their side.

Now, you're not supposed to agree with Them, sir.

I understand what they're saying. Pardon me. My bad. And I thought, damn, I wanted to ride with Mel on that one.

It's all right.

Yeah. I don't. I don't really. I don't. I don't really care about this.

No, I just. I. I think the interview questions were great. The ones that I heard, yeah.

Like, shout out to Scissor, shout out.

To Kendrick was an interesting way to do a interview.

I like. I like what a lot of people are doing now. Variety's doing the same thing where it's actor on actor, so it's actors interviewing other actors. And this is, like, not the first time that, like, a big publication is having, you know, your. Your peers interviewing you rather than hiring journalists. Because I think that you kind of get a different perspective when. And different questioning asked by somebody who's actually.

I think it's more comfortable. You're more comfortable on camera with your peer.

I agree with that. But I certainly feel even more bad for the journalists now. It was already tough for journalists.

Yeah.

Can I ask you a question? Does that limit what Kendrick can do as an artist now? I mean, he's turning down, like, big music festivals like Coachella. He's doing. When you do this kind of press, suddenly you don't show up to do the source or what the equivalent of that is now. You're not. You might not sit with Elliott Wilson.

It might not be true.

You might not come here anymore. That's what I'm asking. Like, is he too big to be?

Like, I think that's a personal decision.

No. I do think that this was the perfect way for him to do it. Like Mel said, artist to artist, your peer, your label mate, the person you feel close to. Like, great. Eliminates all of the fodder from disrupting what I wanted the message to be. And that still don't say that he won't sit with an Elliot or a Nori or a here. I think Kendrick has his pick of the litter as to how and who he wants to convey his message with.

Okay.

And I think Sza being an interviewer shuts up the public.

Yeah.

You get what I'm saying? Like, yo, he went and sat with White Diane Johnson.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, no, Sza did the interview. Like, you don't have nothing to say.

That helps.

It's in Harper's Bazaar, which is still super mainstream, but Scissor did the interview.

But I'm open to the fact that we might just be leaving a time where artists go to people to do interviews. Like, I don't. I don't think that's so out the scope of possibility. Yeah, we could just be entering that time.

Yeah.

Especially when you're.

Maybe Kendrick. Maybe you're right, and Kendrick is too big to sit with anybody. And maybe he won't. Maybe he wants it framed a certain way. I don't feel like he would be the first and only person to be on that wave right this second.

No, he wouldn't. That's why I'm worried. I'm not saying that's what's gonna happen, but that's my fear. Cause I love Kendrick's music. I love hearing his voice, and I'm worried that he's gonna become so big and so mainstream that now he's curating the locations that he speaks, and he only does those big ones.

Well, good, because we enter in a time where everybody out there should be curating themselves.

But didn't he always have, like, you know, a certain degree of, like, you know, being elusive?

Anonymity.

Not anonymity, but just basically, he does not serve himself up on a platter to just about just anybody. I feel like that's always kind of been.

Yeah, that's part of his.

Especially early on. Obviously he was sitting whoever, but.

But as of late.

Yeah, you haven't seen him.

He's been very choosy about what publications or, you know, media outlets that he'll sit with and talk to. So this just kind of tracks and that.

And that might just tie into his morality points. Like, yo, I'm just not gonna go sit with anybody because I don't really.

With you as a nerd in the.

Space, because I don't have to kind.

Of want to hear what the other hour and a half of this conversation was. They kept saying it was like an hour and a half, and this was maybe a 30 minute read stretched out. And I know them two together were probably on some.

And I hope it was a video.

Did you see.

I hope they can show it to us. And it's not just a transcript.

You might have seen it. Did you see Jaylen Brown sat down with Stephen A. Smith?

I haven't seen it, but I saw them sit down.

Ties in. Ties in.

Tell me.

Jaylen Brown initially comes on and they talk about how Stephen A. Smith recently said that he had started getting anonymous sources that were saying, like, nobody likes Jaylen Brown, and that's why he's not getting accolades and the praise that he deserves.

Oh, they had the Olympic Nike talk.

And so Jaylen Brown comes on initially and said, yo, before we even start an interview, I want to talk about the quote, unquote anonymous source. He says, yo, I respect your journalistic integrity, but I also respect integrity, right? So he says, basically, some of these anonymous sources, if I can't speak to them face to face, then it kind of devalues they shit. And it's cowardly.

To me, that's a fact. You can confront your accuser kind of.

Thing a little bit. But Stephen A. Smith was saying that, you know, they like, yo, I want to get your personal take on it too. But I agree with him, jb and most of the things that he said, I think that they start calling him Bougie. But, you know, he's like a mental guy. MIT does lectures, lectures at Harvard, all of that shit. So I think that sometimes, and this is a conversation that we can have amongst black men, we could do it on paper. When you are an academic or when you are super cerebral, a higher level of, yeah, we get shunned in our community. And so they'll immediately call you Bougie, or they'll immediately say that you think you better than other niggas, et cetera, et cetera. And I think that that's what he's facing.

Okay, I love Stephen A. Smith's response. I thought Stephen A. Was actually right in their exchange, the initial one and this one in that as a journalist, you can't reveal your sources. Cause people made it seem like he was being shady or like trying to throw rocks and hide his hands. I was like, no. If somebody from the league calls me and league exec and says, Jalen Brown is X, Y and Z, Stephen A. Smith's whole point when they confronted each other was, I'm not saying that about you. I'm telling you that that's the word around the league. And I'm telling you that's why you're not from multiple people.

From multiple people.

And I've heard the same thing, you know, from other sports journalists. Not personally, but other sports journalists have gotten the same account.

Gotcha.

So I think it's true today. The danger of it is, of course, if you spread that rumor and it's not true, you know what I mean? Then you're doing Jaylen Brown a harm, a disservice. I see that, too. But to me, Jaylen Brown's issue isn't that he's smart, although that is a big issue with it. It's that he stands up against social injustice.

He speaks up for black people again.

That's the shit they did.

I wanted to go take it.

We can take him and Kyrie and they both have been painted with the same type of brush.

I'm not just a dumb nigga running around spending money on chains, chains and all that other. When I speak, I start talking about helping our community and helping our culture move and progress along. And I don't want to hear that.

Exactly. If you talk about particle physics, nobody will give a fuck. They'd be like, oh, they'd be showing. I'll get the smart dude with all these degrees and blah blah, blah, blah. But when you start talking about. He was talking about panopticons and prison construction. He was like, oh yeah, shut the fuck up. No, no Olympics for you. Because especially on the international stage, they don't want no parts of that.

Yeah, for sure. Where they was editing out Jesus.

Right?

Oh, man. All right, it's time for my favorite part of the show. Prize Picks. Prize Picks is your number one daily fantasy sports app in all of the land. Super easy and simple to play. All you have to do is select two players across all sports, look at their projected stat line and pick more or less for your chance to win big. There are season long games you could play, all types of games you could get with on there. But for the week, I'm going with Jameer Gibbs. I'm changing it up.

Okay.

Yeah. Give me Jameer Gibbs for more than 75 rush yards. My other guy who's been holding me down all year in fantasy, Kyren Williams. Williams going Kyron Williams touchdown every game. Damn near gimme him for more than 85 and a half rush yards and a 10, a TD and a TUD. And Drake London's on a tear. Drake London doing last three weeks. Give me Drake London for more than 60 receiving yards.

You get that?

And Saquon Barkley from. And Derrick Henry.

Yeah.

For more than 100 rush yards. Yeah, I'm doing it. Yeah, he has. Y'all feel like Jerry Jones keeps sounding stupid in regards to Derek Henry?

He does.

Well, he's still going on about it.

Yes.

Yeah.

Because now they're going to bring it up every week.

Dallas is the draw and Jerry Jones is saying, Derek, Derrick Henry is having a dreamlike year. I'm not certain if he would have had that with us with where we are and he doesn't fit our style of play. We don't run that type of offense and we had a, we had a cap situation to deal with. Couldn't afford him. He's still saying that it's tough to listen to that and watch Derrick Henry go for 189 yards every week.

And the style of play stuff is nonsense.

I agree.

You make it work.

Like what are we talking about?

Right. Listen, I agree. I think it sounds foolish.

Sounds like a.

And these same questions existed for Baltimore and Lamar Jackson. True. How are they going to mesh? They look amazing.

With that being said, I feel like now's a good time to remind all humans out there that it is illegal to go through your significant other's phone.

Wow.

Okay.

I don't know why that there's some meme going around with some lawyer girl talking about how it's against the law to do.

She cited. She cited the law and all of that stuff.

What is the law?

Yeah, but you can't. You can't.

P89B I don't know.

What did the law say?

Okay, it's against the law to go through your phone if it's some breach of privacy stuff.

So what happens if it's a family plan?

Your phone is your phone. My plan is. Oh, I get it. If I pay the bill and it's my phone.

We don't respect that.

Know what y'all talking about right now.

Listen for her out. She tried to circumvent.

That's cuz be putting her on a family plan to pay her phone bill and car note and rent and everything.

Not even swag.

Not even family plan.

I'm just wondering.

I don't think this applies to minors, if that's what you're talking about.

No, no. People be adults on the family plan. Your wife, your husband, your two kids will be on one plan. So when shorty go through your phone.

No, that's illegal.

Is my phone.

Here's the problem. I saw this case come up when they were locking people up because cops used to go through your phone and they say they're going through your phone to find if you made a call. Police used to go through your phone and say we have to go through your phone because to make sure that you're not to find your plug to find your connect. And so it's an immediate thing we need to do. But what the lawyers eventually said is phones are not just telephones anymore. It's your personal advice. You can have your PDF of your will in there. You can have all kinds of personal business that's beyond your phone. Phone. So even if I pay the bill, that might justify me going through your phone, but that doesn't justify me going through your email.

My psychiatrist might be in there.

Exactly. So even if somebody paid a bill, you can't. Maybe a kid is different, but as an adult, like, you can't just go through somebody's shit and say, I paid a bill because it's more in there than your phone.

And I feel like it's a shame that this needs to be explained to adult humans out there.

You know, it does go both ways, right? Men do check their women's phones.

I'm saying adult.

Adult humans did it one time.

Never again.

What did you find?

Just what you think of bubble guts.

Bubble guts is right at the end.

Of that conversation, I was like, what? And I feel like that should be enough to teach everybody that valuable lesson. Except for Scorpios.

Wait, wait.

If you go in a phone and get that. That sick sensation in your body when you find something that's normally enough to teach rational humans beings, but Scorpios are not Scorpios. Rational human beings. Not to do that again. Yeah, like me. You did it before. I got on the phone with T Mobile. One good time. This is back in the day when you could. When they still kept your text thread. I'm talking about 0506-0708.

What can I tell the story?

You told the story here before, but you could tell demarc if you like.

That nigga went into Inspector Gadget mode.

I don't play.

That nigga did, fam. I didn't even notice. Shorty had a double lock. She had two coats.

Oh, shit.

And guess what this is at the time. Master locksmith over here. This is before two time authentication and all of that.

I didn't know you could do that. But guess what? She did it didn't matter. Give my man about four hours. It's a little bit of heartache. He got right to it.

You really did it. Four hours more.

It might have been more than that.

He didn't have her phone for four hours.

He didn't have her phone. He called T mobile.

Oh, oh, oh, okay.

And got the politicking and got everything that was in that phone.

Spent the rest of the time.

I got the truth.

You found everything you was looking for?

I got the truth.

How many packs you smoked that day?

I don't know. It was bad.

Did it matter?

Yeah, it mattered.

What I mean is typically when people look, they already know what they're going to find or they have a suspicion. By the time you get to a double lock, you probably thinking there's some in here I don't need to find.

But you still want to find it if that's your journey. It's not my thing.

That's the other reason I don't go in phones today. I'm. I'm too obsessive and I know it about myself. So once I get start the journey. I'm on the journey now. I'm not doing nothing else. I'm not eating, I'm not sleeping. We not kicking it. It ain't hookah time.

Look, coffee.

I'm going to get what I'm looking for. I ain't done that since 20 however years old. I think it was 25, 26, 27.

Sometimes you go in there hoping that you're just hoping that you were wrong. That you were wrong.

If you really hope that you wrong, stay the out the phone.

No, not necessarily.

If you want to be optimistic, be optimistic.

Yeah, yeah.

Don't do both.

Right.

And then don't tell me. And then don't tell me that you're doing this because you had woman's intuition or guts feeling. And then go on the phone. Trust your gut, right?

That's true.

If your gut is that good, what you looking for confirmation for? That's true. And again, just respect everyone's privacy. Indeed. The stupid ass therapist. The expensive therapist. Last time, Last time we went 900 hour. The expensive therapists get right to the point. Did I ever come here and tell you on that?

No, no.

The expensive therapist ain't none of that hootenanny. I dealt with the other relationship therapist. Oh, that's what he keep doing. Oh, oh, that's what he gonna do. Oh, no, no. He's telling you through his actions exactly what he wants to do at the end of the day. How long you been doing? No, he's never changing. This is him. What's up? Are you staying? Leaving.

That's a 901, yo.

It was. She got so right to the point. Me and my girl looked at each other. We looked at each other. No, no.

We need a little delusion.

No, we started defending each other.

That's the 901.

Yes. Oh, that's lovely.

I love that. Least she ain't drag you, right?

500.

They might have dragged you, yo, we got to get to the bottom, yo. 900.

Yo, look, sessions.

Unpack it.

Yo, fam, she a piece of.

He a piece of.

Y'all going to accept it or what, right?

I don't like that style, yo. Give. You need some gaslight ability. We need to und help. Help us understand each other.

Cause you a manipulator, so that's what.

You to each other and for each other. Don't just start hitting us both with the truth with body shots. Yo, we just sat down here, and you giving us the cold, hard truth. We walked out of there hole in hand. That shit worked. It worked. Cause we started defending each other so hard against the therapist, we was like.

I'm gonna just say, yo.

Why she did that?

Yeah, that's lovely.

Took two sessions.

Yeah, lovely.

Brought the love right back.

Another would have dragged you for seven sessions at 500 an hour.

Why did I bring up this therapy right now? I was getting cell phones.

You talking about going through cell phones? When y'all in relationships, do y'all give up? When I give up, does. Can you significantly pick up your phone? Go through your phone? Not like, go through it forever? Yeah, they can.

No. Yeah.

No.

No passwords, none of that.

My girl work at the Scent at. You know, the center in New York when the foul is under review.

Yeah, it's the caucus.

Yeah. I think they moved it to New York now, where it's the whole center, all of the screens, and they get on the phones with the referees. My girl got a whole infrastructure set up. Ice just had to prove to me three weeks ago that she wasn't on my icloud, dog.

You never seen John Wick?

She's John Witt.

She has.

She has access to my somehow, and I don't know.

Hmm.

Is this like a suspicion?

No. Per him.

Take this Friday night, one of my bartenders of choice calls off of work. I send a text to her that says, yo, you ain't you working tonight. You off tonight. With the eyes and a little face. And that's where I go wrong, too. My emojis. When somebody is never been a good emojis. Yeah, Somebody looking at your shits, them emojis jump off the thing. And they got them now where they could 3d em like that. So anyway, I send that to the bartender. Cropped the text to just show, yo, you working tonight. And her saying, no, I'm off or whatever. She said, I'll be back Monday. Or whenever she said crops it. No name, no nothing. Posts it on her story. Says yo, if you looking for me, I'll be back such and such a day. A day later. My girl sends me the text. No, no. She sends me the crop. The crop, the crop. Lol. Yo, you stupid.

Wow.

Well, everyone does have a little tech out of me.

Y'all think I'm playing.

She knows your emoji speech in style.

I said because we done been through enough therapy and had this talk too many times to. Whereas I just submit now. Yo, how you. I said it was me. But how you know? And she knows. She can't say to me I'm in your phone or I got access to your shit. Cause you know I'll flip out even though I know it's happening.

So she says, I know you're in the door. I know people.

I know you like the back of my head. It's scary. Look, I know you better than I know myself. I know how you sleep, your breathing patterns. I know how you speak. I know how you text. I know how you emotion. I know how you love. I know how you like. I know how you talk to these. I know everything you say to these bartenders. I'ma always be able to spot my man's texts anywhere forever.

I think that equal parts turned you on and scared you.

I've been scared. I've been scared. I could give y'all 19 different of these. Of these to where? Oh, wow, it's so bad. I say, yo, this is manipulation, yo. When I gotta say that to somebody. Yeah, well, you ran out of gas like, yo, enough.

But does this surprise you at all?

Does what?

The fact that she has memorized, like your nuances.

Step your game up.

What game? I'm just being me.

Change how you text.

I wasn't running game. I wasn't.

You sent the eyes. You always sending eyes.

That is your thing.

She knows that the time the girls work. She knows that. You interested?

Dead giveaway.

What was the face being there? That's it.

Which emoji face was it?

I gotta go look, I look.

Dog sit your fucking eyes.

You know which one? I think it might be this one hand.

With the one hand?

Yeah, with.

If it's the one hand.

You cheated, could you talk about.

Don't say that.

You can't send another girl to one hand flip.

One hand is a lie.

Look, you can't do that.

If you sit a one hand, you. Yeah, you back to counseling.

How far the text? It was just the other day.

We. We talk. What the you talking about?

No, she was cursing you out. Hey, go up.

But we Text.

Click on a picture.

Why you go to the one with the bar?

Well, y'all could talk. Here we go. Here we go. Oh, it was the yellow face with the. I like this emoji with the black eyes.

Oh, with the sunglasses with the X's.

With the black eyes. That one.

Oh, it's the sad face.

It's a sad face. You're pouting.

What the you doing?

That's a lie.

Why would you send that sad water?

I don't want to say. No, you my man. Look, I'm n. That. That wasn't that bad. My.

Yo, I like that emoji, but that's the one. I don't think it's as dramatic as apparently y'all doing that.

She's not there.

You've always been horrible with emojis, bro.

So then. And then because of that. Cause you right. You right. I'm. I'm taking that. You pouting because she's not there. Yeah, that's how y'all take it. And that's how she took.

That's everybody.

That's clearly what it means.

Pouty face.

Yeah, I think it's called the pouty emoji.

Oh, man, you not coming.

Oh, and now when your partner sees that and she's black, what does she say to you? You guessed it. Yo, why are you such a thirsty ass? Why are you such a thirsty ass?

Did you start stuttering when you respond?

And then I'm like, I'm thirsty because of the sad. That the. The black eye emoji.

The guy start coming? No, he start.

I just don't think he got.

He got the.

That was shell.

Or he walk around with a propane.

Tank.

That got 94. That keep a gas tank with him. Now he ain't playing.

Yeah, it is.

Is.

You can tell that Joey.

He think.

Corey, you right.

Yeah, that's exactly her and y'all.

And it's not us.

It's her. And you leave.

You leave here thinking about the job that we did and all the. We say. You go home and sit down and think about it like, I can't believe these. Then you start pondering and doing research.

Relax.

Harping.

Yeah. Harping, harping.

Go upstairs.

Go in your house. You just bought a new car.

Car.

Leave alone. Go sleep. Go relax.

Go speed up the west side.

Yeah. Looking for a touchdown.

I ain't say all that, but yeah.

Sorry, baby.

Don't put the face.

Put regular.

See, that's something that. Without y'all, I would die on that one.

What?

Die on that hill on that Patty.

Like in my house. Like, what's wrong if your girl. What's wrong with Texas? Yo, you're not working with some of the black guys.

It's like watery eyes.

Who gives a fuck? I'm texting the bar. My girl sent a bartenders at the bar I like to go to on a Friday night. Why I can't send that text?

If it was reversed, Joe, what would you do?

Now y'all got me sound like I be sounding.

If it was reversed? Yeah, pay attention. If it was reversed. No, I can. If she sent pouty eyes, how would you feel? Yo, you not gonna be at the restaurant today to serve me Pouty eyes, how would you feel?

My girl don't work at a restaurant.

No. Meaning her favorite male tend to be serving her.

Yeah.

Oh, how would I know that?

Same way she found out.

Yeah, he posts the story.

So you wouldn't do all that shit.

Which never happened.

Yeah, that's fair.

There is no world where I would see a cropped out text and be.

Like, that's my girl.

My girl wrote that.

My girl wrote that. That would never happen. Got it. Okay. Nor would I ever go in her phone and see it. Because I protect myself from these things.

Let's just say you're walking by the phone, it's face up.

That I don't look at phones when they face up. Because I don't want nobody looking in my phone when it's face up.

My father believe in that same shit. You said you're not with none of that.

I ain't doing that face. I don't want to see nothing on your phone. Cause I know me, and I know that I could find something that I'm. That I'm mad at. I can find something that's totally fine and get mad at it.

Yeah, you gotta know yourself.

That's how we.

So why would I do that? He's right.

Why would I do that?

I wouldn't do that.

How about you?

He's right.

And let me separate the talk now. Cause this way, you get yourself in trouble. And this is wrong, say, and it's financial abuse.

Let's go, Corey.

But if I did see that, are all of my bills getting paid? Like, all of them?

Yo, you a financial amuser. You like Bernie mad you Joey made off.

I ain't gonna lie. I like the way I'm not talking about me and her no more. Because she'll get mad. I can't even say that in the relationship.

Hey, I tried to follow that I tried to follow that, like, that work until I was told, like, yo, you know what? I'm thinking about applications for, like, the mta. And like that. Like, it's like, yo, that's what she said.

She said, you know what?

Wow.

I got a trick for you, buddy. You think I ain't going to go?

You a bad.

And that's a threat to financial abuser.

It is.

It is. She said, yeah, I'm joking.

I'm joking. I'm joking.

I'm joking.

I'm not.

I'm joking. Please.

I try to follow your bag.

Yeah, I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking.

But do that.

Are you against financial abuse, Mark?

Yeah, of course he is.

I pretty much.

He's a lover.

I'm against all abuse.

He's a lover that. Like this.

It's a good answer.

All right. Yeah. I love you.

All right.

So before I move on, I'll spill little more, and then I'll ask you my financial abuse question again. Me and my girl have a lot of fun together. I ain't gonna lie. We do. Here's what I got for you. Her birthday's coming up.

Nice.

I say one day you'll tell me about what you want to do for your birthday.

Supposed to.

She says, yo, I want you to. Yada, yada, yada. I was trying to make a run. I want you to. Yada, yada, yada, yada.

Don't forget to call.

I was like, cool. I said, and a card. She heard. And a car.

Oh, shoot, that's awkward.

And said, oh, you gonna do that? And the car. And I said, no, I would never want to do that because I wouldn't want to financially abuse you. And if I got the car and that, I would be expecting a certain behavior, which is wrong.

Wow.

Yeah.

That's a double reverse manipulation.

What would that be called? An Uno. What would that be called?

A Uno.

Reverse.

That was definitely.

Yo, she had a draw. Eight.

Wait, wait, wait. At that point, I did what y'all just did, but in my head, clapped for myself. I thought I smoked that. She then said, well, in that instance, I wouldn't view that as financial abuse.

Reverse the reverse.

Wait, that's all your blood pressure. So the determiner of when financial abuse is financial abuse is you. Is you.

Yo, Joe.

Yo, I asked you again. You are against finance.

I'm totally against that.

I am against financial abuse.

But are you against them being the determiner of. Are you against. Are you for the victim being the determination of when and when it isn't?

No. Because we not even having those conversations.

I'll say this. I'm against the victimizer defining it for sure. Like. Like.

Draw two, you get a red seven round.

No, that's a fact, though.

All right, moving on. This man.

Oh, my God. Y is the women whisperers, man.

Baby, I love you. I love you. These guys are great. That was great. It is wrong.

And you know what those are, chico? Her birthday and Christmas is close to close to each other.

Not close enough.

But it's. Oh, it's close to each other, though.

Scorpio.

Think about it, man.

It's very close to each other. No, she has a cheat code. She's getting double gift in fourth quarter. Like her is set up. Lovely. Your fourth quarter.

I know you're gonna get fourth quarter.

Yeah. August 31st is not the fourth quarter.

No, he's not a fourth quarter.

I feel like we're. We're splitting frog.

September.

September is for August 31st.

August 31st.

So isn't.

Would September 1st be considered fourth quarter?

Yes. No.

October. October 1st, October. Fair enough.

Quarters.

Oh, yeah. Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry, Joe.

Got it.

Yes.

Yes.

You're right. Come on, man.

Sorry.

She went to Jewel yard.

AC DC College.

I'm sorry.

Do we care about the Rock and Roll hall of Fame? Of course we do.

I watched it.

How was it?

It was five and a half hours. You watched the whole thing?

No, I had to skim through a couple things.

Now. Okay, I watched, but what I saw.

It looked like how it should look.

Absolutely. They do amazing.

They do an amazing job.

And shout out to Questlove for an award show. Any hip hop or hip hop adjacent. Yo, Quest, love, come, come straighten this out. And did for both tribe and Mary.

So the new indexes were cool. And the gang, Dave Matthews Band, Mary J. Blige, A Tribe Called Quest and Cher.

Wow.

I don't understand Warwick, Foreigner, people.

Well, no. I said you forgot. You said Mary J. Blige.

You forgot.

I did not.

That's what friends are for.

Ozzy made it.

Ozzy was it as a solo.

As a solo artist. I think Black Sabbath was already in there.

They were.

Yeah. Yeah.

Ozzy made it.

Can somebody explain to me why why Cherish is getting in now why Tribe Called Quest is just getting in there? Like, how does. No disrespect to Jay Z. I think Jay Z should be in their first battle. But it seemed like, how do people. How does chronological. Yeah, chronologically. Like, how are people who made it selection take place? Yeah, it's just weird to me that, like, Cher should not just be making the hall of Fame.

Well, Cher had some controversy with the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

That's fair. How about Tribe? Like, I. I just. I just don't get it. How did Tribe make it before? How does Eminem make it before Trout? Yeah, that's wild.

To me, they were.

He's way bigger than.

More impactful. You know the answer.

You know the answer.

I should say. I hate that that's what happened.

Who was the chairman of Rock and Roll hall of Fame? The one that it was uncovered that he had like, super racist remarks and like that. Jan something or other.

I don't know. No, that. Yeah, I think that was Rolling Stone. I wrong.

Okay, okay.

Sorry.

Made a move. But if he was, doesn't it have the same kind of. He can be on the board of Rock and Roll hall of Fame and still be, you know, whatever. With. With Rolling Stone.

I don't know. I don't know.

I think that he was.

Okay, maybe.

Yeah, that's possible.

Let's check it before we just get to saying things. That's how we. That's how we get in.

What she say?

We. We.

We be falling for it too.

We be believing. No, no, no, no. She said she was convicted whenever she starts.

The tribe was fire, though.

Dave.

Dave Chappelle.

Jan wer was removed from the Rock and Roll hall of Fame's board of directors. Okay, thank you.

Can't you talk? Your.

She can't talk. Well, she wouldn't have to talk if she would have said, I think you could just be right. Then we wouldn't have to guess if you say, I think I ain't rolling.

Okay.

Look it up.

Well, you right.

It was a fact. Yeah. So that could be the reason why we're just getting Tribe Called Quest in there. Because he was a fucking racist and he was on the board of directors and influential.

That would. That would make sense. That would make sense.

So what would be the excuse for Jay Z or the other black people?

I don't. I don't really have a reason for it, but I'm just giving a reason as to why maybe. Maybe certain people took a little bit longer and other people, like, Jay's hard to avoid. Yeah.

And he brings money and he brings attention and he deserves it. Jay z deserves it 100%.

I think over. All in all, they've gotten much blacker in the last. Oh, yeah, maybe five years or so.

Times was different before, you know what I'm saying?

Like, they Weren't really just letting us now it's been a hip hop act every year.

True.

I think it's bought money and revenue where revenue is we gonna go. You know what I'm saying?

Let me clap it up for that too. That's awesome.

I think that like ll, they let LL get up there and go crazy. What was that last year or two years ago?

LL went crazy again after Jay Z. Yeah. Weird to me.

Yo, we don't dis Jay Z up here too.

I'm the world's biggest Jay Z fan. This is not.

You keep making these little. I just want you to know the tone of this room. We don't really speak negatively about Jay Z.

Is my top five. Jay Z is maybe my favorite rapper. I love Jay Z. It's not about Jay Z.

Top five?

Yeah. Who else is that? Is that disrespectful?

Yeah, I think so.

Oh, you think he should be higher?

Yeah, he is higher.

He is higher. I'm just saying top five. He's top three.

Sure.

Say top three.

He's top three.

Top five. Sound a little more shady.

I mean, I can. We could debate it, but like, in General, he's top five. Top three for me, sometimes. Sometimes number one.

You can debate 40. You can't name 44 rappers that you think is better than Jay Z.

It depends on what you mean. You say I can't name who 4.

Rap 4 rappers that you think are better than Jay Z. No, you can't.

I can't name four rappers greater than Jay Z, but I can name four rappers better than Jay Z. Oh, give me that list. I think Black Thoughts a better rapper than Jay z. I think Andre 3000 a better rapper than Jay Z. We just talk about better now. If we talking about. If we talk about overall. No, I could make same argument for Kendrick at this point and he's not in my top five. I can make an argument for Biggie.

Okay. I said okay.

I said okay.

You answered it. I'm out. That a old ish ain't really ready to let it slide, though. I'm. I'm willing to let the beef in my man circling around.

I'm not saying they higher on my man right there.

What is it?

What is in his hood? He looking like don't like that, dog.

You got it.

My top five has them in it. All I'm saying is most days Jay Z will be number one or number two for me. I'm just saying. That's why I just say top five to avoid having to rank Them. I just say top five. That's all I'm saying.

They also should let Black Thought do all of the. Like, they recreate the hits from these artists, and they should let Black Thought do it. He's like an encyclopedia of songs that have already existed on top of his own incredibleness.

Freaking gene.

But he does like the tones and everything. Perfect. Queen Latifah went up there. She did great, but she was missing some words. Black Thought came in and cleaned that up.

Yeah, he's a freaking nature man.

Yeah, it's. It's unreal.

As is Queen Latifah. Yeah, I love Queen Lataza's Queen Latifah.

No doubt. It's hard to remember someone else's rap suit. Like, even songs that we all know, but like the back of our hand.

You think you gotta rap, right?

Yeah, it's a little different.

It's hard to remember my raps.

Yeah, exactly.

It's hard to remember raps now.

Remember five from 1989. Good luck.

Hard to remember my Tomorrow to do list and recipe.

Peaceful.

Rest in peace fight. That Tribe tribute was everything.

It was.

Yeah, that was. That was something special. Good to go down that. Just memory lane. I went to the Check the Ron video.

Really?

Yeah. I went to the Check around video shooting right down there. I was in Queens. That's dope around there. I didn't know what was going on, but my brother was a huge Tribe fan, so I was on Drive dog.

I was like.

I was in high school right there on Linda Boulevard.

I was in high school.

You had to be mad small.

I was.

Yeah, I was bonita.

Apple bomb. That whole.

All that.

The whole run.

That whole apple bomb. I was in ninth grade.

Yeah, I was. I was small.

You was tiny.

I was small. You.

I had a ear.

I had a ear. We know. Yo, congratulations to Tribe Call Quest and. And again, I just love Q Tip doing albums. I love Q Tip doing anything. I love how Q Tip looked.

Yeah, he looked great.

Q looked like. Whoa.

What?

I was just about to say it.

Go ahead.

But I mean, you can say he did look awesome.

I'm disagreeing with you.

Y'all know my. I like to see. I like to see the hip hop legend look like that. Legendary at this age. Rest in peace to all of the hip hop legends. We've lost Batman Scoop and just everybody. Just everybody. It's too many to name, but Q Tip looked like money. Looked like he smelled good. Skin was right. Go ahead. Shout out to Q Tip, man.

Recipes for you.

Shout out to Q tip. What else we got? What else we got? That's important, unimportant. I don't care. Anywhere y'all want to go. Just not incubator babies yet. Was really perturbed over that. No, he was mad. Yo, yo, y'all know what they doing with the babies? Y'all seen the, the incubator base like the Matrix? I was like, whoa, I'll be dead.

It wasn't AI.

Yeah, I'll be dead, buddy.

Okay, keep laughing.

I'll be g long going, maybe not.

This is moving fast, fam.

I know we're not supposed to talk about, but I don't understand the story. I just, I don't think I care that much about incubator babies, but maybe I don't understand the story.

Basically it was.

Damn it.

Nah, go ahead. So they're leaning toward trying to make babies womb less babies literally, where they don't have to be carried in the womb. They putting them in an incubator and from the beginning. So the picture park's point was it was AI, but it was like an illustration of literally. And they can hold up to 3,000 at one time and all this other shit of just literally baby babies being created and nursed in a pod as opposed to a woman's womb.

I'm still.

Go ahead and try to do it the old fashioned way.

Right?

Yeah.

Takes all the fun out of it.

That is scary, bro. Not like it's scary.

Who wants sexless babies?

What is it some other powers that be?

Isn't it like you do like IBM, whatever and then you put it in the people that.

The people that run the world. Yeah, probably.

You have a whole. You have a whole host now of army of whatever that you want to rock with.

Yeah, they want to stream farm us.

Yeah, that sounds boring.

And we not at a fast enough clip. They keep having population conversations.

Yes, that is scary, dog. And now they can put this. They got all your DNA.

You can't.

They buying up DNA by the billions.

23 and me just went out and they won't say what they're doing with the DNA. This could be it, baby.

I don't think it's so scary. I ain't going to let nobody that don't come from a beat me up.

Oh no, no, that's not true. Because now look, this is funny.

If you don't come out of my.

You could pick your genetics. So you could pick and alter the genetics. You could pick your eye color, you could pick your height, you could pick all of that. So now they basically creating superhumans.

Some Ivan Drago.

Yes, my.

And he gonna whip your ass will you up.

You got broken wrists from shooting jumpers. Imagine what that gonna do to you.

Whoop your ass. Y'all think I would fight Ivan Drago?

Yo, I mean if you can't get.

To that Ferrari yourself.

Look, if you can't get to that.

I think you defend yourself. If he came along and tried to.

You up, I would. But do you think it would be by fighting?

It depends on where he catch you at.

Pretty much break you. He dies. He dies.

You know me break you.

I'm not letting no. That could put me down with a one hitter quit or get. That's my eye on him the whole night. Anyway.

It's not true.

I'm profiling.

It's not true.

Anywhere I go, I'm identifying the that probably have a punch that could put me down. When the caught you and I'm staying.

At them and the caught you slipping.

In the club dog.

He didn't have to one hit a.

Quitter, but he could have. That was an ant. That was like nothing little that put you down. I wasn't even paying him no miles. When I come back, I would throw her some money. My brain was now wearing it like nigga move. You just ruined the vibe. But now the more I had to go to. Nah, I'm cool. You ain't have to film me because now they gonna film you. You film me. Back in the day it was just world star. Now it's the world. Yeah. Looking at you.

Star forecast.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm cool. I'm cool on that. Let's see.

Speaking of strip clubs, isn't there a new mandate that just came out?

Hey, look at you knowing the tea.

Yeah, I mean that ain't a mandate.

Look at you knowing the strip club.

It was a suggestion.

Okay, let's hear the suggestion.

From who though?

It was a stripper site.

From the young ladies.

No, it was a stripper site.

Site, yes, Porter.

Nah, it was some shit that came across my feed that makes it Came across your feed.

I love.

It how you have both the strippers and the babies in the incubators in the same feed.

Yeah, his feed is wild.

Cause I like women and I got 2 year olds. My algorithm going crazy.

I just wanna know where this stripper is from. That said it. But this is like a faceless person.

Yeah, it was a faceless. Basically. Guys, when y'all come in a strip club with $1,000, don't bust $1,000 down on three strippers with your broke ass, you need to just focus on one and give her that thousand dollars instead of divvying it up amongst three chicks. Like stripper etiquette 101 type shit.

Huh?

And I immediately got a little offended.

Well, you got offended over the chick that your man brought with y'all wanting calamari, so of course you gonna get offended.

Narrative Nancy over here.

Go ahead. No, why were you offended reading that, fam?

If somebody comes in and if he busts down $1,000amongst three people, that's one customer that gave you $300 that night.

That's. Okay, I'll let you finish first.

You get what I'm saying? That's only one.

But that's. But that's also not true.

Why?

Because that's not strip club math.

You're not getting a thousand.

And that's why they saying that.

So one chick could have got five, the other one got 250. 250. The one chick could have got eight, the other one got 100 and 100.

You only get one strip club, and that's not strip club math. If three girls come over to you and you throw a thousand dollars. Most house rules say that those three have to split that. They're going to split that and have to pay your house fee. The Barbados, the bar back fee. They're going to have mad fees. And the club fee.

Joe. But that's one patron.

Wait, that just took your. If you ever speak to some of these people that just took your. You're 3:35 down to one something, and then they gonna. And they gonna have to stay there, count all that money. The club gonna have to take that money. So they say. Yeah. No, they.

That's wrong.

Why are you saying it's wrong?

Because that is the way the inner workings go. But that thousand dollars that they made at the end of the night, they gotta bust down their total to the bar backs to everybody.

Wrong.

It don't. It don't go per trick.

That's irrelevant to this conversation. Because if three girls are on you, that don't mean we working together for the night.

That's true.

That mean that three girls just came out? No, no, that's true.

No, so what I'm saying is. But that's one patron. So Parks threw a stat.

Yeah.

Mark throws 700. Imani, throw five.

Damn. Three flip might throw my boy in the steel club. That's why I don't go. If I go, I mean, I wouldn't. Personally, I don't spend less than 10. Like, if I go. Oh, shit, yeah. If I go. I don't. To be clear, I don't go strip clubs anymore. I ain't been a strip club in about. What year is this? 20. I ain't been a strip club about six years.

Five. Six years.

And you threw 10 bands six years ago?

Yeah.

Oh, break the force.

And I would only have three dances if I was doing that.

Oh, yeah.

1,000 to be one dancer.

You him.

No, not like that.

I'm just saying, big fish, they about.

To eat your DMs up. That's when he was on college.

But that's what I'm saying. But, like, no.

So, yeah, I'm saying this. That at the end of the night, they gotta bust down and pay mad people. But all of that don't just come from $1,000, where Joe saying they made 300, that the dudes might get a nice living. But I think if one man throws $100 on somebody, that shouldn't be frowned.

But here's the problem with the nigga with $1,000. It's not that he's spending $1,000 that he. They usually milk that. If you come in there with $1,000 and you're not going back to ATM, you're not borrowing no more money, you gonna be sitting there milking that shit for the next three hours. You taking up all their time. You're not doing it. Like, if you got money, you throwing up a thousand in a minute, right?

No, that's not true.

If you thought he couldn't walk.

The OG Strippers. The OG Strippers not staying around, they work in the room, but that's what they see. That this nigga's milk in the stack. I'm gonna get the $10 from him and I'm gonna be back. I'm going over here. That's how they.

But here's the problem, right? If you. If you get. If you. First of all, if you bring in money to the strip club, most of the time, if you bring it enough, you going to your own section. So you ordering a bottle. So they see you there with the.

Bottom School of Mars.

They see you bringing this shit out, I'm going to ruin my career.

Big Mark, break it down.

Str.

It's like, you my man.

I'm over there with my Hot 400.

Excuse the example, but it's like. It's like. It's like, no, I'm not gonna use that example.

But, yeah, be careful. Come up here and talk.

But the point Is once they see you doing that, now everybody's flocking to that area. So now you throwing all that money up. You. You. You can't then start peeling off ones one by one. That's who they talking about. Yeah, they talking about the dude that. It's not the dude that's in Gin Pop that's just got $1,000 that's just getting lap dances. It could be. It's the.

Nigga, spectacle ain't specify a spectacle, man. They said thousand dollars. And if I come in strip club and I bust a G. Respect me a little bit, sweetie.

Fuck you talking about?

None, sweetie. Will, how long did it take you, girl? How long did it take you to bust a stack?

An hour, nigga. You think that's too wrong?

That's crazy.

Crazy.

Yo, you call me crazy?

He's.

Wow.

Well, I call him frugal, but he's. You gonna get the.

You get the whack joint, though, you know, I'm not gonna give him no money for.

To get him.

Nobody that you really want to stand there for. Standing there for Alex. Take a man long to peel this one little lonely stack.

Exactly. Unless they drinking your liquor and eating your food and all that.

Yo, Thursday.

Okay.

Come on, man.

We can go.

Come on.

What you doing?

What you doing? Can I have my jack?

Yeah.

When I owed you $1,000. You talking about 77 episodes in a row.

Can I have my thousand dollars?

If you're doing that.

No, no, I'm not doing that. I'm going to buy some clothes.

Why does he owe you a thousand dollars again?

Because we made two bets. I made two bad bets, and that's my man.

Okay, I wasn't your man when I went.

I made the bad bets because that's my man.

Wow.

No.

No, that's not true.

That's not true.

I made that sound like.

No, that's not true.

I made a bad. I made a bad. A bad bet. I forgot when. What Dolph Lundgren. Rocky was.

Oh, yeah.

He won. And the other 500. He won the dog contest with J1. He won.

Right, right. Oh, that was a while ago.

You don't say.

I'm gonna blow your whole head off.

For her being objective. You gonna blow her head off because.

She supposed to be on him when.

It took him forever to pay you.

That I feel like. And I didn't.

I paid him the same day.

I feel like flip.

Wait, wait. What?

I feel like if I'm up here. I feel like if I'm up Here. And with the big joker on one of y'all, then y'all should walk gingerly around me. That's how I feel.

I agree. I agree.

Facts.

You don't got no big joke on me, nigga. Play space.

Okay.

Got you for about five minutes.

Throwing up.

Throw it up. That's what it all fall out like.

I ain't fucking it up.

I'm willing to just go home with the gun.

Got you.

Okay. But she keep going against me, like siding with that smart couch.

But you know what that is, right?

And they don't got the gun. I got the gun.

That's. That's boss manipulation. Oh, that's boss manipulation. You are.

Because you financial abuse.

Stop or else. And she stopped mad time quick, so whatever he got.

But she not stopping because I'm the boss. She's stopping because I got something.

That's what I'm saying.

It's not because I'm the boss.

I get it. But I'm abused.

The boss don't give me no rights up here. That made me get walked over more. Hey, yo. Hey. I run up here. Oh, yeah. BB.

Stay at peace. If I said that to her, she be like, yo, Joe, talk to him.

That's abuse.

You know what, yo?

Cause you be saying you got guns when I don't know if they really.

My guns is good guns.

I Not all the time.

Sometimes my.

You call a bluff with a gun sometime. I don't play like that. If I say I got it.

You said I. Huh? I just heard you whisper. He will.

No, no, no.

I just heard you. You doing.

I literally just said, sometimes you have, like, a cannon, and sometimes you have a little pew pew.

Yeah, like a. Like a water.

But you always act like your pew pew is a cannon.

That's what he does.

That's what he does.

See, I don't do that. I don't play like that.

So how would you know I'm blocking.

Yeah, they trying to play you, so I got it.

How would you know?

They definitely try to play you.

They trying to play you, son.

How would you know I'm bluffing since.

You got a little.

Because you trying to call me out to the carpet saying what? I think that you want me to.

Say, well, I don't do that. You see what I do? I'm gonna offer you the fight before we even get to that carpet. Hey. Because the might be telling the truth. So let's fight for even getting it.

For even getting it.

You know what?

You know what?

He never apologized to me for that.

That's not true.

You didn't apologize to me sincerely. You say, yo, if I said that. He said, if I said that, my fault. Like, n what? You called this man out to a fight? He said, yo, you want to fight Corey? Looking at this nigga like this? Everybody look at Vern. Eve was like, sometimes gotta fight. So Eve threw the sauce into it. So I got quiet. Cause I'm like, okay, is this a joke? But he was dead serious. Then he tried to continue the podcast. Then I said. He said, when the last time you had a fight? I said, right now. Then I go, so he caused that whole thing. And he never said, you know what, Flip?

I was wrong as a. I did say that. But if I didn't say that, then.

I don't want to know. Cause you said that last time. Last time I called you out on it. You said, I don't want to apologize. When a tell me to apologize, I don't want it now.

I just thought I had always apologized because that was. I never want to behave that way, especially to my man and somebody I love. I don't want to talk like that. I don't want to look like that, appear that way personally, professionally. That was totally out of pocket for me, out of character, and it was wrong. It will never happen again. Yes, it was.

That's his apology. It will never happen again.

It will happen again. You know, everybody here, with the exception of Mark in Parks, the arcs. With the exception of the arcs, everybody here, you've tried to fight.

No.

Yeah.

Oh, Conversation.

Wow. He stood down on that fan.

No, not Conversation, but yeah.

And I do like a little workplace rumble. None of y'all are getting by it. Y'all gotta come back to work and stare at the nigga you fought.

Itch is my man. But look what you did with me.

Ish.

Yo, don't break the table. Mel was like, you know, huh?

You know, tell them what I told you outside.

Stop acting like you can fight me because you can't beat me. Yeah. And what I said.

I said, yo, dog, stop when we argue. Stop bringing up fighting.

I said, yeah. And what I said, because he do do that.

He do that.

That's why I beat to the punch.

No, because I beat him to the punch.

Just because I know that it's going to come. So let's walk outside right now.

No, no. As older statesmen and as my elder statesman. Elder statesman. As my elders, you.

You 38, right?

37. You speak too aggressively. Right? Like you could Just talk regular. You could just talk and have a conversation.

The aggressiveness.

Don'T do that. Yeah, you not nowhere near.

Right. Nobody here talks aggressive, but you.

Okay, all right, let's move on.

You're the only person in that. In this room for the last few years that speaks aggressively to people.

Really, Joe?

Yes.

So the time when me. This was going.

That started now with the. Your f. I'll never tell you about my dad again.

Are you fired?

No, I'm chilling. I'm chilling.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I saw that she was. She started doing Karen tweets. Like victim Karen tweets, too.

Why are they Karen tweets? Just stop deflecting. This is about you.

Very good.

Okay. Put your phone away.

Very good, man. You know, Mel. You know, man, I just say when Ish. And I was going at it. Ish got aggressive because he told J.R. forget it. Nah, nigga, don't talk to. Don't say that to Junior. Don't say that to Junior.

Junior is my man.

Don't say that to me. I'm his father.

And I said, because you start acting like a baby. Yo, Junior, forget it.

That's your man. That's your man.

So you shouldn't intervene, parents.

He's your nephew. Me and you should never. Me and you. Our issues should never reflect on him.

Me.

I'm just saying that's how I'm about.

To tell them, because they gonna make up their own narrative. I asked Junior to do me a favor. J.R. came, I asked Junior to do me.

Yes.

This says, yo, you got my son doing your thing.

I said, joking around.

If he do something for me, I pay. You did I pay. That could go get some Chipotle.

That's a fact. Hey, that's a fact.

Like, what we talking about? I said, all right, Junior. Never mind.

I got mad.

He gets mad. Mind your business.

You can't do. I'm his father. Like J. Austin. He look at.

Yeah.

All right.

What's wrong?

Come on.

Your man.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I love both of you.

I'm sorry. Okay, okay, okay.

That's your man.

But you was out of line, too.

I apologize. And tell Yalls therapists, we love y'all. I don't know where to go.

I don't care about none of that's your man.

I don't care about nothing of it. Well, actually, while we on the smoke segment, let's do ISO for Mark. It's Mark's first day. Let's do ISO for him because he's had and he's had an intense few days with Lord Jamar. And I know where this was going. Yeah, yeah, but you. You tell everybody out there why you should not call Kamala.

Can we pause? Because I want to get on this conversation.

I got a package downstairs, and that is why ish is my favorite. This broadcast. The cameras, the lights, yo, I want to chime in on this shit. This is really important to me. But just stop because I got a package of mailman to come and take. Yo, where else could you hear somebody.

Do that and not his house?

What other live taping do you hear somebody say? Hey, pause that produced topic. I got some mail down here often. Yo, but it's cool. Why? Because Mark was passionate about this. I'm clearing out this. Take your man one on one. Why should people not call Kamala Harris? Redacted and redacted. I'm not gonna say it.

Look, my issue. Because I wasn't that passionate about it except seeing who does it. Because nobody here thinks you should call Kamala Harris the B word.

I don't. I don't feel that way.

Nobody thinks you should.

I don't think you should direct that word at any. Any woman unless it's in that friendly, playful, acceptable, gossipy type of manner. But as far as regarding preferring to them that way. I know.

Yeah. And as a dude, I just don't use it at all. But.

Got it.

But. But for me, it's like I'm watching Lord Jamar make a whole infomercial about why he's not voting for Kamala Harris.

Cool.

Don't vote for Kamala Harris. That's your business.

Right.

I think his reasons are dumb, but, you know, but to say she's not qualified to work at a 711 and then to call her the B word. Right. Then you see Judge Joe Brown double down on it and call her sleaze. Call her a ho. And then there was my man with the Trump or tramp t shirt, Le'Veon Bell. And it's like, why are we doing this? Like, it's weird to me. And I see a lot of black men in particular do it, and that's the ones who I'm most for frustrated with.

But that's funny you say that. I was just about to ask you. But don't you have to ask yourself why it's being done and it doesn't matter? Yeah, it matters.

I don't think nothing is excused. I don't think not one excuse justifies why it's being done.

You're right. You're right. No, I agree with that. We're throwing logic and logical people to the side emotionally. When you understand why people are doing it, it don't matter if the point is right or wrong. Their why ain't. Hey, this is. This is some wrong shit to do. So I'm gonna stop. Their why is related to something different.

Incentivized.

Yes.

Possibly by being paid by the Republican campaign.

Well, Le'Veon Bell and them niggas got paid. Antonio Brown got. They got paid to go up there and do all of that. Judge Joe Brown is Judge Joe Brown.

Ain't nobody even paying him. I a piece of shit.

I view Judge Joe Brown like Judge Joe Brown. So even when his name was written on the board, I'm like, yo, I never want to see Judge Joe Brown name.

You definitely said that.

Because why do we want to discuss anything that Judge Joe Brown got to say? Cool. And then Lord Jamar is. And even his explanation for it. And that's the only thing I'll say. And I'll toss it right back to you. Lord Jamar's explanation for it was, I was on another platform where it's hip hop, so we talking hip hop. I would say to Lord Jamar that we should want to represent hip hop a little better than that.

Right.

Because it shouldn't be. I'm on a hip hop platform, so Whole scum tramp. It's. Why are we not trying to bring hip hop over there and just show something different? That was disgusting to me. I don't have an issue with him personally. I don't know him personally, but that explanation. And he walked it back. Yeah. And then he walked it back the next day or two days later.

And apologize. This one, Pierce Morgan, because I asked him directly on Piers Morgan. I said, like, why are you calling. Calling her to be where? Like, come on. Because I feel like we got to call each other out in those moments. You know what I'm saying? And. And that's when he said, yeah, it was hip hop. And also, that's not hip hop. Even in hip hop, you people don't rap about calling it Grant Nobody. Like, my grandma made me some eggs.

That bitch was blah, blah, blah.

Like, you. Like, Kamala Harris is running for a president. You know what I mean? Like, we never even in hip hop, called our aunties and our grandmoms and people. We revered the B word. That's like. That's not even a proper representation of hip hop, even at his work.

I agree with that.

You know what? I'm saying, so it's like, why are you doing this? You know, And I agree, some people are being incentivized, which I don't respect, but some people are doing it for free.

Yo, dog. But even if you do, do or do not revere the fact that she's running for president, that's cool. Standing your policy, standing whatever. For a black man to publicly get up there and just be denouncing a black lady as a. That didn't do nothing.

To do nothing to you.

Like, you don't know him. You don't know. You know, I mean, and again, just because you don't like their policy, that's cool. You don't.

I don't think that they know anything about her policies.

It depends on the person some of these people knowledgeable about.

We're.

We're just talking about these particular three because these particular three right now, like it or not, they are representing the black male voice.

That's not true.

No, I'm not.

Even if they are, that don't mean that they not knowledgeable.

And I'm not saying that. That's my, my perception. I'm saying that would be a generalized perception because what has been discussed right now is black men and their reticence of wanting to vote for her and talking about how they're voting for Trump. So this is just like, I want.

To chime in because I think it's important.

That's true.

That's still separate.

And it's. And it's separate and it's still not a majority of black men are voting for Donald Trump.

But it's still important to say, hey, there may be some. What you said. Evanescence, what you said, some direct medicine. Whatever you said, it might, it might be some of that.

What I'm saying is there is a narrative being constructed right now. That's all I'm saying. We know that it's not true. When you have a critically thinking mind, you can see that these three are not representative of all black men. Not even close.

But you said that they don't know her policy and somebody can know her policy and just not agree with her policy.

And your. And you're absolutely.

The word ain't warm.

You're absolutely right.

If I don't agree with your politics.

And that's my point. I was just basically going to say that I would bet cold, hard cash that these three particular men don't know shit about her policymark.

Definitely don't.

That's just, that's just my opinion. That's just My opinion.

Let me ask you a question, though, Mark. So I heard what you said, but I kind of disagree because I do hear in hip hop, black men call older black women bitches. Judges, parole officers.

Right. People who did harm to them.

Well, that's subjective.

It's not subjective. Jamari.

Don't know her.

Listen, hold on what I'm saying. But you use hip hop. You said hip hop. We don't do that. But that's not true. That's the part I'm talking about. That's not true. People do that, all right? And they may not look at Ms. Kamala as Kamala. Kamala. Pardon me? They may not look at her as their auntie or anybody that they revere. So they're going to call out her name. That's what. People do that in hip hop. You use hip hop at the stairs. That. I agree with him. Hip hop should be represented better. That's a different conversation than saying that we don't do it. Because I could point out plenty of songs where niggas is calling black women older black women bitches.

Yes.

Or young.

It don't matter.

Or young. Yes.

I agree with. I agree with that. And I'm not saying that that doesn't happen to hip hop. I'm not trying to, like, romanticize hip hop.

Okay.

Got it.

All I'm saying is that in general, in hip hop, we don't go around just randomly calling people who we have respect for or people who have.

But they don't have respect for her.

And that takes us to the next question.

Right.

Which is why. Okay, so which is why.

Okay, I don't know.

Like, if they. If he. Even if he had said Kamala is leading the genocide overseas, F that be, I wouldn't like it, but at least there would be a connective line to it.

Okay.

He's just. He just don't like her. And so he's. I mean, he's calling because she's.

So you think that. No, wait.

Yes.

No.

Yes. Yes, yes.

That's.

Yes, yes. That's the default.

I don't think that.

Mark.

No.

I don't think that.

He's calling her. He's calling her B. Because she's a black and a woman. She's black and a woman. I don't agree with that. That's not true.

I'll even say because she's a woman. But it's absolutely not because.

Not because he doesn't believe in her policies. Not because of the things that they think that they know. Yeah. Not because the Thing they are against.

Let's look. If we were to look up all the people he's disagreed with.

Yes, he disagreed with them a lot.

Right.

And all of the ones that he has disagreed with, he's giving them equal smoke and vitriol.

And I'm good with the smoke, I'm good with the vitriol. But what are we calling Donald Trump when we disagree with him? What are we calling Hillary Clinton when we disagree with her? What are we calling Barack Obama? We disagree with him. That's what I'm saying. He's not like bombing that bitch ass nigga didn't sign the welfare reform.

No, they be, yo, that house nigger, that cool ass nigga, that block they do, they give it to him.

I ain't heard, I ain't heard this. And I ain't Mr. Political, though. I ain't heard this part in droves. Like I hear about.

Of course not.

Because she's not about any president elect. Not Hillary, not Obama. Even when he was saying the birth certificate's fake. He's not black. People like some of the same.

I never heard people, when you, somebody likes you. This is said this for three years. Me, when somebody likes you, they'll defend you. Right. No matter what's going on. Barack Obama was widely liked.

Yeah.

Right. So nobody, he's not going to get the same exact smoke that she's getting. People don't particularly care for her, so they giving her the shaft. I'm not agreeing with it and I'm not justifying it. I'm just explaining why Barack Obama was liked, people liked him.

People become. He was definitely very popular.

He was voted.

She's never voted.

But I'll tell you what, it's a good point too. I will do this. What I will do is this. And I'm with you. I totally disagree with, yeah, I disagree with it. Calling that woman out, her name, especially now, if you want to do that in March, then cool. But right this second, eh, not the best time. But the word got back. They went to whatever closet to check the numbers and the metrics with the fax machine, whatever they look at to say, all right, we don't have the black vote. These companies, these people with all of the money got a different way that they look at metrics. So her metrics came back and said, all right, we don't have the black male vote. Because she went and got with Charlamagne and she went to, you know, it's a, it's a few weeks until it's time. So but the one ad you did with the 20v one balloon. Shit. Did you see it?

Oh, yeah.

Oh yeah.

Help us out. I didn't see it at all.

I'm gonna play it.

Okay.

I'm gonna play it for you if I can find it. But I guess that's my response to Mark in this moment. Let me play it first.

What do you do and how much?

Here we go. Hello, ladies. I'm Terry and if you don't know, this is the 20v1 balloon challenge. A young black male walks up and they're gonna play the balloon game. Here we go. Hello, ladies, I'm Terry. It's good to be here.

What do you do and how much do you make?

I work in finance making six figures. How tall are you? 6 5.

Do you have a plan to vote in November?

Nah, not my thing. And that's the end of the ad? The end of it.

He's a great ad.

I couldn't disagree with you more.

It's a powerful app.

It's. I mean, it's encouraging people to vote. I, I think that's great.

If you want, make sure you vote for Kamala. Kamala.

That's not what he saying.

No, that's not.

I'm just saying. Ignorant. Ignorant like myself.

You're not ignorant.

I'm just saying. But I consider that my comment.

They're basically saying women are not going.

To with you because obviously you're going to do these dating shows to get chose, picked by a woman.

Right.

So she's.

He's six. Five turn on.

He's six. Five turn on makes six.

He doesn't vote. Turn off.

So what I'm saying is that. Yes, that's a turn off. So that's what I'm saying. So basically you don't have a chance with these women if you don't vote.

It's a deal breaker.

Okay.

I don't like that you painting a certain demo of black men to appear as non voters because you don't have the black male vote.

I don't think that's what it is at all.

This to me reminds me of Biden up there telling Charlamagne that you're not black, you're not black. This has those same, those same connotation.

Yeah, yeah.

It don't. That don't feel good. I'm a young black man and I'm voting. Why is this your imagery? Because you don't have the black vote. Even if I'm a little off, I don't think that her or her campaign is Doing a great job of appealing to the people that she's trying to appeal to.

I think that's right.

I'm mature enough to say, hey, I don't necessarily rock with how that ad looks. Somebody else may say, this, this, this be. So that's what I have for that. I don't agree with it.

Can I ask you guys a question? What should she be doing to. To make it. To make her attempt to attract the black male voter authentic and genuine? What should she be doing? Because I agree that this is controversial. It's. I see it's. It is dope. It is controversial, but it can be taken the wrong way by somebody who's already really, really sensitive about it. And there's a bunch of men that can look at that like, see, she's shitting on us. That's not the way to fucking get us right. So I have a real question for everybody in this room, because I'm sitting with black men. What should she be doing that could come across in a very genuine and authentic way?

It's scary. It's. That question is scary for me to answer that question is scary. I just want to say that I have an answer.

You do?

I have an answer too.

I don't.

Because this is what, this is what to me is problematic about this question. For me, it's problematic that I think that a white man is finding better ways to connect to the young black male vote than the black woman.

He just went to McDonald's and served up fucking fries.

That's not connecting with us. That is in the ways.

But she said that and not me.

True, I know she said that and.

Not me, but that's one of his ways.

That's not to connect.

A black way to connect to us.

Donald Trump for months. All right, go ahead.

I think the ways that he is, quote, unquote, attempting to connect to us are low key jabs and insults at us.

I'm open to that too.

Like, if you go get this hip hop dude that's going to jail you.

We.

We've heard black men saying, yo, I with Trump more because he got felonies on his jacket. He's more relatable. That's an insult to us.

But on the flip side of that coin, Imma get some of these out of jail.

True.

Yeah.

Okay.

Some of them. That's in there.

That's what I was gonna say.

I'm getting them out, but so is she.

Who?

And he's.

Hold up. I don't want. Who her.

What you say? Yeah, who For Kamala Harris.

Yeah, yeah.

Not individuals. He's not. He's not. If you're talking about, like, pardoning people.

Problem one.

No, no, no. She's talking about systemic change. For example, we're going to make it. All these people, weed offensive out.

I don't care. I'm talking about marketing. I'm not saying she's.

Hold on.

I'm not saying she's never done it. Right. I'm saying how he's doing.

His marketing plan is better.

Is resonating with young black men. Maybe because I ain't checking no facts. A little more. It seems a little more sincere. Yo, when he brought Trick Trick out in Detroit, boy, was I mad. Boy, was I mad about it. Not because it's Trick Trick coming out for Donald Trump in Detroit, but because who does he have in his team.

That this was that influential? Trick Trick is Detroit.

You want a young black man.

That's true.

Like, that's what I'm saying. He did that in New York with Chef G. Do I think that Donald. Donald Trump knows who Chef G and fucking them are? Hell, no. But who do you have in your.

Camp that's telling you that's the one to choose?

Go get these people. Your story. What you trying to say will resonate with this. Hey, go to them barbershops over there. Like, you talking about sincerity and being genuine. What says that more than barbershops?

Nothing, but there's.

But, like, I'm not putting this on the presidential candidates.

No, they're putting this on the team.

The teams. And that's just. What. Troublesome.

But wouldn't you guys look at her visiting barbershops as being completely fucking, like, convoluted?

No, it depends. That's not true. Some people would. She's Mel's right, Right? Yo, if you don't like somebody, you'll say, yo, this. This B is going to these barbershops, right? And pandering.

She's pretending to be black.

Less people will say it than when you go to Roscoe's and get the chicken and grits and eat watermelon on. Less people will say it.

No, but that as a white dude, that's what they tried to do. His team said, yo, I want him to resonate with the blacks. So let me go over here to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. I look at that as insulting.

Yeah, yo. No, it isn't something.

It's insulting to us, but to other people. They think that that resonates. So. Okay, I'm gonna go. I'M a pardon Wayne. Or I'm a part of Kodak or I'm a part of whoever. I'm looking at that for what it is, which is a marketing ploy. But the other people that may not see that are looking at that. Like, yo, he resonating with us. He with us.

Yo, even whoever told him to go get shot. I'm not playing.

I'm gonna.

I do.

Yo, I'm agreeing.

Had to be a cockamamie brain back there to say not once but twice.

Let's try it again.

I'm agreeing with you.

Hey, they forgot about all the favor we gained back then. Try it again. Whatever brain is coming up with this, the sunset with act.

I'm agreeing with you.

He's going on Rogan. They just announced Friday.

They did Schultz.

They just announced. He did shows. But forget about shows for two seconds. He's going on Rogan. They announced Friday. The top six podcasts amongst black male in this age group. What we might be five. Charlamagne is two. So Kamala hits there. Guess who's number one. You guessed it. Joe Rogan. By mile. Who? Way more than amount. Way more than mouth. It's a mouth. Joe Rogan has more audience than. I'm not even going to say the slight potential partners in the future, but that's what I'm saying. Why can't Kamala go with number one?

I think not even the people just.

Number one versus number two.

I heard she's planning on doing that.

Though hopefully too late, but I think not too late.

I think it's important.

Do everything. Do everything. I don't want to say do everything.

In all fairness, her. In all fairness to her. And I'm not trying to cape for her and make excuses. She got tossed in. So they didn't have a plan. Like, if you writing a book.

It's not time for that.

Let me finish. Let me finish. She just. Bro, she's been running for president for two and a half months. Three months.

I understand. But along with all that money within the first 48 hours also has to come with.

She should have went to the now.

You got to get your team in place. He already had a team.

And not only that, now she has already been practicing.

She has to get her team. And he's.

That.

That's pivot, which is how he can pardon people.

She can't.

And the last time we had one of these talks, somebody did reach out to somebody to somebody that knows me and said, hey, such and such for Kamala's campaign would like to come up there and discuss the points that we were talking about about her trying to appeal to black men.

And that is where you lose, comma, such and such. Yes, we big enough and we got enough reach to the mat that she's supposed to come sit.

With all due respect. Yes, with all due respect, I would love for that to happen. However.

No.

Where is she?

Yes, that's true.

That's what's supposed to happen.

To answer your question, that's a thousand percent correct.

But let me say this though, because I was just pulling up her actual initiative. She, there's marketing and then there's actual policy. Kamala Harris made a, an actual policy plan for black men that she put.

Out last week, which means nothing if you lose the marketing.

No, I'm not, I'm not against.

And that's unfortunate. Yeah, that's what's unfortunate because that's what.

Should be marketed right now. And it has in it a million. Providing a million loans to develop black male entrepreneurs.

Love it.

Championing education, training and mentorship programs that help black men get good paying jobs. Number. It's five of them. Number three, a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets so black men who invest in and own those assets are protected. Number four, launching a national health equity initiative focused on black men that addresses sickle cell diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer and other health challenges. And number five, legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for black Americans to succeed in this new industry. So even just with number five as an example, if you actually legalize drugs, in this case weed, it will lead to fewer black men going into prison. Excarcerated incarceration, getting more black men out of prison, decarceration. And that's way more important than liberating Lil Wayne.

Let me ask you a question, Let.

Me ask you a question real quick, Mark. How much times as young black men, how much times we seen people promise us things and then come through?

Oh, no, I agree.

So what I'm saying is that that's not going to win us over. Those, those shits is not. Nobody want to hear that.

But we've actually seen that execute. We've actually seen that.

No.

Yeah, they legalized. He literally decriminalized weed. And stop privatized federal.

A lot of young black.

Obama won the marketing. Yeah, he did.

I agree that the marketing is bad. Here we are Trump.

But listen, I'm not. Listen. What I'm saying is that a lot of promises was made and they didn't happen. That's it. That's how a lot of niggas is looking at.

Why trust Trump?

And another. Because he showed example about freeing some of the marketing, the marketplace. And on top of that, why don't she go to the jails and speak to the. Because that. That's. That's what a lot of people have issues with her.

Why do y'all have this? I'm gonna have to do that.

The same way she focused on. On. On her female sororities. I'm not college, man. Focus on the dudes.

Yes.

If you stay in your ballpark, do anything to get the dudes.

And I. I feel like that's what she's doing, but I feel like we're holding her to a unfair standard.

Yeah, I do, too.

And let me be clear. I am not a Kamala. You know, I'm a lifelong Green Party member. You know, I'm not saying I'm not telling people to do anything right now. Although I think. I think Kamala's a much better choice than Donald Trump.

Got it.

And I think we have to stop Donald Trump from being president no matter what. But what I will say is, and.

I'm voting for Kamala no matter what. Just so I'm clear in this argument, that's my vote.

And if I were voting today, I would vote for Kamala Harris, too. And I'm in Pennsylvania, where it matters not to be smart, but that actually can sway the election. Jersey, New York, don't matter. But if Kamala Harris. Don't say that.

Don't say it like, you're right, but.

Y'All just don't like being in New York.

Don't mad at.

He said don't matter.

I know what he's saying.

Like, that tone said, nigga, he's sensitive. You addressing. Just calm down. Everybody calm down.

Come on, man.

Everybody be cool. So what I'm saying is, like, I hear people saying, I'm not voting for Kamala Harris because she's not black, for example. I hear a lot of people saying that, and then they're going to vote for a white man. So, like, what is the logic in that? You're okay voting for non black people, just not her.

There's no logic.

She has sex with too many people. Donald Trump has been credibly accused of sexual assault. He has been. He's.

He's not accused.

No, he's not accused.

And he's been civilly convicted. And he's been civilly found guilty of these things. So what I'm saying is, like, you. You think because You. She has some rumor of her having sex in the past. Oh, my God. A woman had sex, right? That suddenly disqualifies her. But suddenly, Donald Trump, who is known to have sex, he got. I mean, he. Again, he is the stereotype. I think I said before, he is the fucking stereotype. He's got all the things. He's got all the pathologies, all the baby mamas, all the bit. And yet that's okay. Just not Kamala Harris. Maybe having dated a couple of disability.

You don't want to hear people feel like they can relate to that.

Nigga, listen to this.

It was the 90s giving me an.

Aneurysm when I walked.

She don't have the pulse on the culture. Cause them five things that Mark just named to me, he doesn't either. She didn't reach nobody. Yes, he does. He has a better pulse on the culture as a white man.

No, because somebody in his.

Please let me finish. That's their team. So he going to get the credit with his team. His team is convincing him to go shoot at these young black males. And you target these specific things, and you gonna win them over. Whether it's genuine, not. It don't matter. The five things that Mark just listed for me, most of that is to the average man running around. The average man running around could care less about cryptocurrency. The average man running around could care less about getting into the weed.

But the first two was about home ownership and.

Sorry, let him finish. The first one was about giving loans to people, not about homeownership. It was about giving loans. So the average Joe Schmo black man running around, most of those things don't even. And I'm voting for Kamala. I'm just being objective here. Most of those things that she listed as her initiative to help black men don't help the average black men. They might help Antoine, because I could take advantage of some of that shit, but I'm in a financial position, and I have enough knowledge in which to take advantage of that. The average black man running around, they don't. You know who they relate to? Wayne and Kodak. He went and got Wayne and Kodak. He went and got sports figures to come up there on the stand for him. He went and got Amber Rose to come on the stand for him. He has a better pulse on culture than him.

Okay, you tilting your head back.

But it worked.

Somebody in his team was smart enough to say that it did do something. Okay?

And so that did do something.

And I'm for This.

That's my frustration. I'm gonna put it real simple. I think too many black men want to be white men. No, just listen to me. Just hear me out. Just hear me out. I'm not saying y'all, because y'all don't.

I don't agree with that.

But what I'm saying is when they look at Donald Trump, the thing that they aspire to, they don't give a fuck about Donald Trump's policy. They don't know Donald Trump's policy.

Hers either.

Agreed. So they're not thinking about policy, but they love the way Donald Trump move in the world. Think about how much Donald Trump got wrapped up about before he became a Republican and wasn't cool to do anymore. Black people want to be rich like everybody else. Black people want to be famous and powerful like everybody else. And for most people, and especially black men, right now, the image of that is a white man. Donald Trump is who we want to be. And that's why Donald Trump gets the votes from people, even when it's against their own interests. That's what fucks me up. If you want to be Donald Trump because he helps you, fine. Vote for Kamala Harris. If she helps you, fine. But then that's not what they voting on.

If you want to reply to that, Mel. If you want to reply to that, then close us out. If not, then I'll let that be.

A. I think that's just. I think that's a horrible surface assessment.

I don't.

I don't know. So why Obama won?

We believed in him, which means it's.

Not about wanting to be a white man, but.

But belief.

Belief. He resonated with the people. They believed in his message. They believed in his marketing. They. Nobody could tell you they voted for Obama because his policy was X, Y, and Z. Because most people are not that political, politically sound. They don't know policy. They believed in this man. So whatever he was doing to resonate with them, it worked. The same thing that Donald Trump is doing.

And then you go, what's interesting?

Somebody close.

Okay, fine. What's interesting about that is the fact that we already have a working example. Donald Trump was in office. What did he do for black people? Other than. Pardon a couple of rapid rappers.

No.

What did he do for black men, Black women?

And that was my. Most people that don't know shit about.

Politics say, Donald Trump got the money.

Got us the money.

He got us the money.

Yeah.

Which is bullshit.

It is really.

Stop.

Great market bullshit.

Great marketing, but marketing works and now when you say, why are you voting for Donald Trump? Everybody that is black that I know say, yo, because when Donald Trump was the president, we got the bag. They got stimulus packages that were covet based. It wasn't because Donald Trump, Donald Trump was denouncing Covid. He said she was fake.

Right?

They don't care about the truth. They care about what it looks like and what the people are saying. So Donald Trump said, yo, I'm gonna give y'all 600 extra a week in your check. They, they think that he get.

He right. Like Congress didn't do it.

Right, Exactly. Congress didn't do it. He did that.

I agree. You get what I'm saying?

Yo, ppp, money, whatever the case may be, be people in the hood was coming up off of that. So they feel like Donald Trump is an advocate for that, which is false. We might know it's false because we may have more information. But she's not doing anything to combat what their perceptions of him are.

I'm not saying that black men want to be any white man because to your Obama point, I don't think that black men want to be any white man. I think there's certain kinds of white men, they don't want to be John McCain, right? Who Obama beat. They don't be Mitt Romney, who Obama. Obama beat. They want to be what Donald Trump represents. Yeah, he represents power. Unchecked power, no accountability. You know, be able to do whatever he wants. It's the same thing that happens like when, again, like when people like Bill Cosby, whoever get in trouble, people always say why they don't do that to Epstein, why they don't do that to Matt. They always pick white men and say.

The white ism, right?

And it's not that they want those white men to get treated like the black men. They want the black men to be treated like the white men. They, our vision of freedom is tied to whiteness. And it's not just black men. I'm just saying in the.

Oh, in some instances I agree, but not in this one. I don't agree in this.

Cuz I just see so many black men talk to me about Trump and their eyes get big, they start smiling. They, you know, like Flip Day with Caitlyn Clark. And it's. And it's like they get so excited.

They get so excited, man, you panda, you got. I'm not pandering. I've been calling you on that panda shit. You have to stop. Because a lot of you just say, what the fuck Is a person is black or a person is white or you don't. You don't. And you a guy with facts. But sometimes you don't be saying the facts to me.

What facts?

I ain't saying, like, listen, if you talk about the Caitlin girl, they was mistreating her. You didn't acknowledge that.

I don't agree.

All right? But they were. They had highlights that she was getting more abuse than any player.

She has the highest user rate. Cool.

What I'm saying. Cool. And we're gonna move on because he wants to move on.

Wow, man.

I mean, I asked four of y'all to close it.

I was trying.

Y'all still want to.

Passionate.

So now I'm bringing out my new theme song. Look what y'all made me do. Next to be BBC. Next to be BBC. Come on. I like. Chill out, man. Chill out. We did it. See, look, look. Wake up. Cut it off. Hey, they killing. Hold up.

Yeah.

In closing, the highlight.

I think that's good. I think it was needed.

Flip. Look at these. Mel T ain't get to get that off.

Mel had a cannon ready. She said, hold up.

You go. And Tomorrow on the 3pm news, we have Black Dark Lamont, Dark Lamont Hill. Antoine and Mel with the weather.

Why do I have to be relegated to the weather?

Oh, my.

That was. That what? That was sexy.

Hey, you ain't say that at the Knock Yourself out video. Don't say it here, girl. Hey, if you ain't saying that, all the people.

The sun was shining.

Yeah. Now she want to come up here with all backbone and spines.

I just wanted to know how sexy you would have looked jumping in that pool.

I wouldn't have been jumping in the pool.

What would you have been doing?

Not jumping in the pool. Pouring. Pouring the Moet on you. You talking about.

We can't say that practically.

You know, how.

Oh, man.

Yo, what else? What else? What else? What else is important or unimportant? Actually kind of related, but maybe not. Abercrombie and Fitch, homeboy sex trafficking. What happened?

Okay. The former CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch was arrested on Tuesday alongside his partner Matt Smith and Jim Jacobson as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation led by the FBI and prosecutors in Brooklyn.

All right, what do you guys. Yo, you did the news voice, too?

In Brooklyn.

In Brooklyn, it pops out every once in a while.

Yeah, yo, but they were sex trafficking males.

Yeah. It's stemming from a civil lawsuit filed by alleged victims who claimed that the trio sexually exploited young men at lavish Lavish parties that they hosted, posted in the US and abroad, luring them under false pretenses of modeling opportunities. Oh, boy. It doesn't just happen to women, now, does it?

Yeah, I wish they fixed that law where you can't lie to somebody about giving them a job so you could bring them back to the crowd. Now, this is the wrong time to say that, and this is totally unrelated, but why? No, you can't do that in sex abuse. So I'm being clear. That's. This. This is crazy. But when it's not sex abuse, I should be able to lie to you and say, I got a gig for you. How many videos you talking? Yo, girl. So, hey, girl, tomorrow I'm shooting a bed next week. Hell, you want to come?

She coming. No video shoot.

Yo, this is crazy. You can't do this. She's got to be all the way honest. All right, go ahead.

I have no comment on it.

You know that you threw $10,000 in strip clubs six years ago?

Yes. That's labor. That's free work. They working for money. I got a problem with that.

No, but then you hit him with the line. You're supposed to be in here.

Yeah, yeah. That's your life.

No, that's what I mean.

Let me get you out of here.

I don't do that.

Let me save you, girl. There's so many jobs out here. Girl.

I did that one time. Promise. Shorty in Vegas love a hip hop gig. But she ain't want it.

And you weren't going. You weren't gonna be able to get her.

I wasn't gonna. You ain't gonna try that at all. Wasn't the Carmona ever. Not at all.

Not at all. I don't promise nobody nothing, but sometime when I go there, I gotta leave because they want me to be more positive. You know what I mean? Like, I've gotten lap dances where she be like, I really love what you.

Do for the community.

Do you know how comfortable that is?

Hey, Ma. Community.

Disgusting commute on these.

You was my graduation speaker. I was like, wait, what?

Cause now you ain't giving me a.

Let's be clear. She was. It was 10 years after her graduation. She was old enough.

Clean it up.

No, not clean it up. It was like. She was probably, like 30, but.

Did you stop the dance?

I was just thinking. No, I just thinking. I wasn't. Must have been a very good speech. Like, holy.

You can't say that.

I'm just saying, wasn't very motivated.

She's entrepreneurial.

No, I Have no problem.

Look how you look down on women cleaning up.

I have no problem problem with people dancing. I really don't. I have no problem with. No. It's labor. Women should do what they want. True. As long as they're not being exploited. As nobody's taking their money, so they're not being abused. I ain't got no issue with that. Respect that. That's all I'm saying. I think we shame. We shouldn't. We shame dancers too much.

Not no more.

Your choice, your voice.

Yeah. Society. Nobody in this room.

The dancers, the bartenders, is lit.

Hello.

Right, Got pouting.

It get you in trouble, right?

Pouty eyes.

Every time y'all say strip club, my wrist just get more thanos.

Yeah, there art to it. Yo, this guy is crazy, son.

That said I want my thousand dollars the last hour.

He just said that too. You.

I want a thousand dollars the last. The night. You crazy, nigga.

A thousand dollars in a strip club.

Hey, Mark, do you know what I gotta do to earn $1,000?

I get it. Then don't.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Don't act like you gotta do a lot, nigga. You sit here and talk now. You earn way more than that now.

You taking it too far now. Crazy with the camera.

You know what I have to do to earn $1,000?

Sit and talk, nigga.

No. Yeah.

That's what you think.

Sit and talk.

That's what everybody think.

And you a great talker. You gave him a run today. In my head, I'm like, yeah, let's get that nigga.

I don't give a fuck.

I'm a troublemaker.

I know you're not, but in my mind, I set up competition. I was sitting here because this nigga kept cutting me off.

So.

And I'm gonna talk to him about that later. I was setting up competition in my mind. You know, I was sitting there, I was like, oh, damn. Ish. Good ish. And he was coming back. But at the same time, you sit here and talk for a thousand dollars way more than that. So you can't use that example.

You don't know what I make for to talk here. One.

Number two, it's more than $1,000. Ishmael.

That's not.

And don't make it sound like you gotta toot your ass up in the air to make a decent living.

You better hear how you sound.

We're answering your question. You sit down on the couch and make some money. You're not out there on the strip at the Junction and They make more money than me. I don't know that.

You out your mind.

What junk are you pocket watching the. I'm not pocket watching the. Literal hoes.

That's what you call your friends, Literal hoes?

Not talking about my friends.

No, he's talking about the girls. He talk about the stroll, like, Pennsylvania Avenue outside Huds Point, like they might.

Make more money than me too.

What the fuck you talking about? All right, you got a big dog. This is the job from hell.

Nobody said any of that.

Look at you.

That's not.

No, that's.

Cause y'all take it like that.

Do you know what I have to do for a thousand dollars?

And if she's making more than. You're selling vagina. Aren't you okay with that? You don't want to sell some dick.

Yes, I'm agreeing with. I'm not opposed to the. I'm not opposed to that. What I'm telling you is I don't make a thousand dollars an hour, so I'm not going nowhere giving nobody else a thousand dollars an hour. What the Are we talking about? I respect.

He said it's not fiscally responsible. I don't make $1,000 an hour, and it never is fiscally responsible. It's just fun as hell. That's why people do it.

That's it. That's it.

I don't do it anymore. But when I did do it.

Well, you don't do it because, you.

Know, 10,000 at least last me.

Come on.

Come on. 10,000 I don't do.

Cause I don't enjoy it anymore.

Hold up. How many days a week you go to strip club? Out Average.

My girl's listening.

She know.

Oh.

Oh.

Yo, you can't assault somebody your first day. Read your contract.

You can.

We don't.

We don't assault.

Peanut. He know why I did that, but I. Yeah, oh. He know why I assaulted.

Okay. Yeah.

So think. How many. How many days a week you go to strip club?

Twice. Jesus, you are. My girl's listening. My girls listening. I gotta die with what I die with a new and the beef.

All right, so twice. You know you lost, though, right? You almost lost.

Just because sometimes I made $10,000 last two weeks, so.

But you go two. But you go two times a week.

Maybe three, which is.

That's six times.

Yeah.

So you stay in there for how long you stay in there? Two hours of time. Huh?

A week?

Three out, three days? A week? Two weeks.

Well, he just said that when he left Parks.

I don't need help in my 1v1s. I don't need help.

I got.

I got him. I know where he's going and have already surmised my.

Which means you. Which mathematically says you spend over $1,000. You spend $1,000 less than $1,000 an hour.

Okay, are you ready?

Let's go.

Are you ready?

Look at me.

Don't look at him, look at me.

The glamorous.

Always be able to give you the role when it comes to these strip clubs. Ish. If I get in the strip club club at 1am you going by a dollar is not coming out till 2:30 maybe.

So you've been in there an hour and a half and you ain't spend a penny.

None of that matters until it's time to spend $1 and is you only talking about dancing?

You talking about liquor too?

I'm not talking about liquor, no. I'm talking about throwing money at a bar. When I go in a strip club, I.

He don't need no assistance. You've been in the club an hour and a half.

Actually, Mel see me in the strip. Well, you've seen me. People see me in strip club. I go in, sit down, order my juice and get the vibing. First situation. I go get Mac and cheese. No, I'm sitting at the situation.

No, we assess it.

No.

Yeah, but I knew at 2pm that my situation was working. So I'm sitting there and I'm enjoying a vibe for two hours. And when I go get the ones, every strip club in New York City, no. They put them in a bag for me. I hide them. I hide them. The time don't start until a dollar come out. True. So now that's very different from getting in there, getting a stack and then holding it hostage. I don't show nobody no money until I'm ready to throw it. That's what I got for you. Me the Thursday, you with me?

My money money.

Thursday you with me.

I want my thousand dollars though.

I need a report from this before.

We walk in there. Thursday.

Oh, that's bet 50. You gotta throw that up.

Some stupid.

Kids like a bug.

Dumb ass.

Buying rattles.

You can take my money and go to Baby Gap or some.

Oh man, this guy.

What you thought you was awful quiet here.

Oh, he don't go. He send his people with me.

Oh, that's the word.

He sent his People with me with money. One time.

How much?

One time.

What's your max?

1500.

Once.

How long were you in the club, Starless?

I was showing off.

Couple hours. About. No, no, no.

About two hours.

That's respectful.

Come in there. Spin king is in there.

Got to show off the spin king.

That was a one time thing. But I used to get dissed because I would go in the strip club and use my fake popularity and not spend anything, and people would just be around me. I ain't know that downstairs. And Starless was talking about that. They was like, this is corny. Until I. Until I went downstairs and found out and it got crazy. Erica Mana, she put me on like.

You know, he really didn't buy that calamari.

Damn.

You know, he really didn't buy it. He was dead ass about it.

It's crazy. You don't even know about snacks.

And you know what's so crazy? It hit when you think you're doing something. It hit different when the is down. It hit different when you hear. But I'm just telling you, that was a reality check that I needed.

Is that a normal thing? The guy's going downstairs to where the strippers.

No, that was some really white shit you just did. Everybody is not privy to.

Yeah, you can't go downstairs.

No, you can't go downstairs. You just gotta know somebody who's down there hearing the talk and calling you so you can hear it or bringing it back to you.

Facts.

That's it. But niggas ain't just in the locker.

Room with the girls.

I didn't. Well, I knew Kevin and stuff like that. I went downstairs, but like I said, Erica Mena put me on. She put me to the side. She called me like, nigga, you looking crazy. I got you. You looking crazy. You bought a bitch some earrings. It's a bullshit.

That's yo.

And because I got a little mold down there in the locker room, I know how many of y'all is paying rent and mortgages.

Talk about it.

I know how many of y'all are purchasing cars and vehicles.

Talk about it.

I know how many of y'all are fucking buying the kids school clothes. I know exactly what all of y'all are doing.

The bust.

Yeah. It's a dangerous game.

And a lot of y'all got fakes, too.

And guess who don't bust down.

You. Ding Ding Ding won an award for not playing. You damn right.

You won't have me down there, girl. That check ass I don't have.

Somebody wants to befriend me, then they befriend me. I'm not paying for your friendship.

And if they say, yo, ish, I need help. And you have a 1990 Saturn sitting in the parking lot.

Oh, yeah, you got that.

Exactly. That's your man.

You can ride around with that.

So generous.

Before we end, I want to say my heart does go out to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Oh, man, that was rough last night.

What happened last night for Mike or two nights ago for Mike Evans and Chris Godwin was crazy. They were having an unbelievable season. Sitting at fucking last night. 5 and 2. They were 5 and 2. Lost both for what looks like the season. Baker Mayfield, what I think is leading the league in fucking touchdowns or yards or some shit like they were having. He's played well. They were having a year and they.

Count them out every year.

Not only playing well, but I want to take a second to highlight Baker Mayfield. Right. Not just playing well, but had his ass handed to him out of Cleveland.

Yeah.

Like, really got railroaded out of there with a horrible smear campaign, pain and media blitz to his character, to his work ethic and so forth and so on. Yeah. Johnny Manziel Part two is what they tried to do. Was tough for him to get a gig anywhere. Tampa Bay brought him in. He got a follow behind Tom Brady and that championship team. Right. And to bring him where he brought him last year and to sit at 5 and 2 before these two horrific injuries. I don't think Baker Mayfield name get talked about in the proper light enough. So I just want to highlight him to him.

Him. I just had a conversation the other day with my man. Him, Geno Smith.

Yeah.

And my man named three people. Him, Geno Smith and somebody else.

Joe Flacco. No, it was somebody, but Joe Flacco's another one.

Sam Darnold.

Sam Darnold.

Sam Darnold. Them three right there.

Why wouldn't Joe Flock go in that same group?

To think what they've done when they left those respective organizations and turned green. It just go. It speaks volumes. But, yeah. Baker Merrill Fell was going crazy. I think that he just had to grow. Yo. I think he came out of college. He was a little. He was a little Johnny manziela show, to be honest. And I think what happens is when you start thinking I'm the shit he wasn't.

I think you talking about swag, sauce and aura.

That's what I'm talking about.

But they tried to tie that to his work ethic. His.

And we've seen the Johnny.

Yeah.

So different.

Baker Mayfield could have went somewhere and took $500. 500 per autograph. He didn't. He stayed on the job when he was kicking his back in and is delivering. But go ahead. Yeah.

So I just think that sports has a way of humbling you.

Right.

I think when you come out of high school, when you come out of college, grown people have been kissing your ass since you was in middle school.

True.

Literally. Right. And I think that you go to high school, you all world. You go to college, you all American, you get drafted, and then things sometimes don't pan out. And I think they are humbling situations for a lot of these men. And then I think once you damn near be on the verge of getting out the league and you get another shot, I think is when you find your purpose.

Cleveland also has been notoriously not good at developing the graveyard.

I also like to remind Giant fans that Daniel Jones has been there six years.

And I think if he left the Giants and went somewhere else, I think he blocked. Awesome.

I wish you would.

You know, I like Daniel Jones.

I wish you would take him. Never take him. Have at it. Have at it. It's time to watch Saquon do what he's doing and then still look at Daniel Jones and $140 million. Y'all gave him. Sick to my stomach, but it's fine. I don't have anything else that's near and dear to my heart. I don't even know the Lamar Odom story. If one of y'all want to brief me quickly. We didn't talk about the Tyler record.

That's true. That slapped him.

Can somebody pull up that record so I can hear it? In the meantime, what did Lamar Odom say?

So it was just. It was.

Sorry.

It was discovered in Liam Payne's autopsy that he was. He had something called pink cocaine.

Say that again.

Go ahead. Play your. So it was. It was determined during Liam Payne's autopsy that he was said to have had pink cocaine in his System, which is a drug cocktail known as pink cocaine. Like I said, a mix of ketamine, methamphetamine and ecstasy. So Lamar Odom says that, yeah, I had that shit in my system and it caused hallucinations and to hear voices. So that's probably why things ended the way that they did. That was his take on things.

Pink cocaine, the name of the concoction?

Yes.

That's like party mix. That's like when they put the pretzels with the Cheetos in that bowl.

That big ass bowl. Chuck mix in there too. It's the big top.

Open it up. That's the coke Chex mix.

We're up.

Thank you to Lamar Odom for sharing that.

The rest in peace.

I think Lamar Odom would and should know Rest in peace to Liam Payne for sure. But and again, be careful. Be careful with what you consume, how you consume it and where you get it from. I think is the over overarching story here. Yeah, rest in peace. But I mean, I can imagine. I believe the hotel when they say he was bugging out for a few days in there.

Yeah, they said that people were going there, he wouldn't let him in the room.

Yeah, I believe them. He locked himself and they found some shit in the system. That helps to explain why these things were occurring then. Cool. Awesome. Yo. Not doing a TV breakdown of anything, but last night I just had happened to click on some on Max called on the run. The Lori Del story or the Lowell Nelson story? It's a girl. It's an old lady. It's like a grandma. She killed the out of her husband, left the dead body there for 12 days as she ran some errands using his card dipped from the police, ran to another town and then befriended some chick and killed her too. Oh, wow, wow, wow.

This is right up your alley.

Got you. Fell asleep on episode one two part series. Check it out. It's not an ad. I think they changed the law. You got to say when the AD is dead. It's not AD it's just some fly.

Oh no.

It's really, really good. It's really, really good though.

This is not an AD either, but.

Colin Farrell in Penguin, bro, he's killing it.

I'm not caught up.

It don't matter. You up to like episode four or five? I'm at the acting job that he's doing in Penguin family. You do not know that that's Colin Farrell, right? Really like you forget that it's him.

I still don't know who you talking About.

You know Colin Farrell?

No, I know him. Where's he at? In Penguin. Penguin.

You didn't know that?

That's how good a job he doing?

That's the Penguin.

Colin Farrell's penguin.

Yo, you did that?

He's bodying that.

Me, I'm not.

I just shame me, though. Yes.

Yo, he's killing that. Yeah, that he's bodying that.

He's really killing. I did not know that.

He's a great actor.

Shout out to him.

I ain't think he was that good. He proved me wrong. He's smoking that well.

Shout out to Colin Farrell. Wow. I might watch the next episode with a different.

Yo, you being serious?

I'm dead serious. I had no idea. I don't typically check the credits of.

The shows and it don't look nothing like them. So the makeup people are killing it. Makeup people are killing it, too.

Yeah. Say that they're bodying.

They interviewed him. He had his Irish. I think he's Irish or something. He had the accent on. He mad slim, you know, they do all the body for the penguin. They got. He limping and all of that.

Yo, he killing because he has that foot.

He's killing that up.

That was good.

Quick part of the show for you guys. Let me see something here. It's my first time. Interesting seeing this woman for about six months. Y'all want to do this guy that's talking about weapons or y'all want to do this guy that's talking about some chick he was seeing?

Weapons Chick.

I would pick with that, you know. All right, you know what? We'll do both. I'll give Parks his fucking whack one first. This is from Arturio. It's about weapons. It's Arturio. Florida says last month when y'all were speaking about school shooters, Mel Parks and Imani all emphasized how AR15s were dangerous and that no kid or no person in general should have access to one. My question is, why do they think ars are so much more lethal than any other gun? Aside from velocity and weight, bullets are bullets. No need to keep stressing that an AR15 was used. Used. I'd be more scared of the kid with a glock and a 30 round clip that can actually be concealed and maneuvered in tight quarters. Both guns will kill you the same tldr. I don't know what he's saying there. People like tldr, people like them. And the mainstream media will keep putting emphasis on AR15s until they are banned. But what will that do when School shooters just start using pistols and 10 round clips, which will. Which will and could never be banned.

Well, the problem is that school shooters have used other guns other than AR15s, but AR15s is a militarized weapon. Why the fuck is it here for the average consumer to be able to purchase and use. That's what we're talking about.

I don't remember saying that specifically, but I think the thing with the AR15 is it's easily and commonly modifiable with like short stocks and bigger clips. Yes, that's a little easier to get than average weapon and there's no reason to have one.

Exactly. And so the point wasn't that the AR15 is more dangerous than any other gun. A.22 is will kill you. So what's. Hello. Hi.

He's looking at me laughing because I'm. I'm agreeing with you. And he's clown looking at her.

Cuz you got a camera voice on 22 to do damage to you.

Don't get us started, man. She in her bag today.

Don't try to murder you.

Yeah, man, you're doing your thing.

Sorry, that was just my point. We weren't saying that the AR15 is more dangerous than any other gun. Cuz all guns are dangerous. We were just stating that it's just. It's a militarized weapon and. What the fuck?

Okay, why you mean? Change your voice, you'll get in trouble.

I want to argue against all this shit. I ain't got time. I want to argue against all of that shit you just said, but I don't have the time right now. Yes, whatever you say.

I'm pretty sure that he would love if you guys argued, you know, with me.

No, I'm not.

Okay. You were going to read the other one.

Yes.

Okay.

From Daryl M. French.

Hey, Darrell.

And this is a little lengthy pause. Hey, jbp. I had a little situation that I figured would be interesting to hear if you all would have been through something similar. I was seeing this woman off and on for about six months. Then one day she started acting, quote too busy. This went on for about a month or two. I called her out on it and she tried to say she was just busy with her kid and work and she was just exhausted. Exhausted. And she wasn't trying to make me feel like she was no longer interested. So I tried to see if she wanted to kick it for my birthday. Thirsty ass nigga. She hit me with the busy excuse again and so I said it. We never said we were exclusive. Duh. You the only one acting exclusive. We never said we were exclusive. So I hit up this fine ass Brazilian chick I was having more motion with to see if she was down to chill. I was living with my mom. I was living with my mom for the next two months. You're doing a lot while you living with your mom for two months.

I was living with my mom for the next two months while I was saving the money I needed to purchase my house. And she was staying with the roommate so we would have no privacy. So we got a room for the evening activities. All right, I'm following you call shorty. Long story, less long. After adult birthday, we check into the hotel, get to the elevator to continue going to our room. The elevator came up from the underground parking and guess who was in the elevator. Call it old girl that said she was just busy and tired with another. We both kept it cool and smirked at one another because we both were about to go get it in, just not with each other. A few minutes later, she texted me, acting like I didn't just see her in the elevator on some other man's arm saying, I hope you have fun.

Mark.

I know you don't.

That's some woman.

I know you don't use this word, Mark, but that's the time and place to say these. I hope you have fun. I'm guessing you don't want to talk anymore. End quote. What the am I supposed to say to that? Lol. Text me before calling so I can turn off. Oh, that's what she said. Silence. Unknown callers. Oh, no, he's talking to us. And he left his number. I'm not calling you. What do you guys say to that?

Daryl had teeny meat.

Holy. He's pocket watching and meat watching.

Either she ain't him. She said he said he.

No, he said he was with Shorty for six months. They started kicking it, then she started getting busy. She tried to let your dumb ass down. Slow, slow. You kept pursuing her, so she had to keep being busy. She ain't want to you on your birthday. She went to go the other that got better dick than you. Ta da.

It could be.

Or more money.

Or more money. I was gonna say it's one of the other.

Nah, they're at the same hotel.

Imani, stop the point.

What, you think he wants you to dick watch with him?

This is skittleish list.

Listen, he might have been a corny.

It's a lot of reasons I can.

Yeah, thank you.

Yeah, I think so. I think so. It's the Whole like not wanting to you on your birthday. That.

Yeah.

And go another on your birthday right.

After she was elevated.

That's just some women.

That was a little pleasant. That was a little pleasantry. Oh, yeah. Go have a good night. That was so you gonna have have a good night? Yeah.

That was sarcasm. Yeah.

All right.

Or she was jealous for 10 seconds, but she ain't calling him the next day. She's still gonna be busy.

Yeah.

And she gonna be extra loud in that other room too. Oh, God. Yeah.

What the is I'm trying to compete.

With the down the hall? They do be doing that.

What you talking about?

He's right. They do be doing that. Well, hope we were able to help home boy.

They on the same floor.

Yeah. You got your baddie Brazilian. Yeah.

Every time she might be bad, she might just be Brazilian.

Word.

That's true.

Because he had to add a guarantee. I had that part.

Speaking of, that's a great segue because I want to let Tyrese Halberd know that he running around with the mid pack of wipes.

Yo, that was the corniest video I ever seen.
