Oh, no. Well, I'm the 1%. I don't just throw shit at the wall and. Oh, gonna work out now. Hey, I've been working out for more than a year.

Yeah.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Yeah.

And. And? And I did it. What?

You did? You took. No, you didn't.

I did it. You.

You did not.

I did it. Why? I did. You really want me to tell you the truth on why?

Yes, I want to know why.

Well, you popped the zpi.

Took a little zap. Took a little zap. What milligram?

Let me tell you.

What milligram? What milligram?

Oh, I don't know none of that.

We need to know.

Listen to the same.

I don't know nothing about what I did.

Depends on how much that weight you come in here next month like a.

Lollipop, we going to be on your ass.

You a 30. They're 32.

Some y. Nah. So my mom called me because she heard the pod and she the only one that listens to the pod and truly Loves me. And she said, yo, I heard you talking about that. You had that shit sitting on the dresser. It's supposed to be in the fridge. It might be bad.

It is supposed to be in the fridge.

I called Michael Paul up, I said, hey, my mom said this shit's supposed to be in the fridge or it go bad. He says, has it ever been in the fridge? I say, nah, this shit been up here for a while. He said, has it been a month? I said, nah, it ain't been a month. He says, you should still be good, but if you, you should use it. If you're gonna use it, use it. Cause it's going bad now I'm staring at the shit, I'm like, I don't know.

Could have just threw it in the garbage.

I said, I don't know, man, I'm scared. He said, dog, you have some of the roughest, toughest skin that I know. This little bit of needle ain't about to bother you none, trust me.

Oh, you're scared over the needle?

No, it just looked like a contraption in the box. That look like something that's supposed to be at Iron man house or something for when act up. Take that, man. Took me a little fat, did that. I ain't ate.

That.

No, I am not gonna hold you. That little, I'm telling you, is potent and it works. I tried to eat last night, my baby made black eyed peas, collard greens, you know, all that south shit rice, you know the day, first day, and then I took a bite like that was good. She probably whoop your ass. She was in that kitchen slaving for about eight hours. I'm in the bed. First of all, I spent the whole first day of the year in bed.

Me too, for the most part. I had to go to a party later on, and that was rough.

Anywhere I was supposed to be, I didn't go and I didn't text and say I ain't coming. I laid in the bed, I took one bite of black eyed peas, rolled my ass over.

That's hilarious.

That was it. I ain't have no dick for you, no nothing. That bullshit works.

So now. So what you gonna do now? You gonna keep? You gonna keep.

Do you have to keep taking it?

Well, you can stop it whenever you want. You can. You gotta take it once a week. And if you don't want to take. You don't want to take it.

I see, I tried.

So I took it just on some. Let's see what this is about. I ain't know that shit was gonna be. I mean, this ain't an ad, so I'm gonna shut up about it. But I. See, I totally get it. I totally understand.

I tried it.

That should help with some other things too. We'll talk about it.

What else?

Urges. Urges, Urges. So whatever urge you have. Urge to smoke, urge to drink herbs, to go walk to the fridge late at night and get a grape. Yeah, it's all over.

I tried it.

How'd you like it?

It's too strong. Like. Like I was like having to spit gum out. Like I couldn't even take the flavor of gum. I had to have nothing. Like, nothing. I only try.

You don't normally spit out. Right.

Can you.

I can't even get back to where I was. Oh, but no, I couldn't. I couldn't eat. So then I was like trying to like just eat candy or have something, some type of taste. And I couldn't. I just. I couldn't with it because then it's like you have no energy. You know what I mean? You're not eating. You had no energy. So.

But how that work if you're not eating, like, and you still in the gym? Healthy bro.

Yeah, he's gonna have to listen. I'm being facetious. Of course I've eaten.

Some people take everything away from me.

But that, that whole breakfast, that little one 2pm Pepperoni pizza with extra cheese, it's out here. It's done.

That's good.

How long is that supposed to does it last?

A week.

And then you get your appetite once a week.

You're supposed to take it.

Yeah, just once a week.

So who knows when you get your appetite back for real? Because I felt like I tried it and I still felt like.

How long did you do it for?

I only tried it once.

Okay.

Yeah. It was too much.

And it gotta leave out your system. So my peoples was on it and they stopped it. But the doctors told them that it would take three or four months to get out their system.

Yeah.

How long? They did it like six, seven months. Okay.

All right.

And they told him that for this to wean out their system, it would take months to get out their system.

Oh, he was fat as hell.

He wasn't fat at all.

I think it's still a cool.

He wasn't fat at all.

I think it's great if you like, if you're legitimately overweight and having trouble dealing with it.

Yeah, but it was. But it was. It was never originally for overweight people selling this.

So is using it as A fat pill. And it's not. That's not the designated use for it.

Dumb is ching chinging.

For a stub toe. Yo, you want some zip? They got posters up if you go in a doctor for anything new opiate. I need stitches. You want some zip?

Oh, look at you. Yeah.

Sober. Nah, nah. That in the house is all right, though. I'm with it. And I was in the house too.

It just went different for me.

I mean, just the. The quiet. We did so much all these years for New Year's. It felt good to just be chill with it for once.

Yeah, I like doing the house party thing. Whether I'm hosting or going to them. I'm not doing the outside, go to the bar, go to the club.

No, last year I've been doing that. I'm going to the party, I'm getting home at 5, 6 in the morning. It felt real good to already be home.

Most of the people left my party about 2ish. We're adults at this point, but the ones that hung on, we hung on a little too long.

Oh, no, I ain't do. I was in the bed sleep. This is the first time I think I've ever gone to sleep before. Like the ball drop.

You didn't even see the ball drop, bro.

I was gone. I was tired as hell. I went to bed like 9, 30, 10 o'.

Clock.

That's crazy. Some around my way. I thought I live in like the burbs. That woke me up. He had to have like an elephant gun. Yo. It wasn't no regular.

It wasn't.

Nah, it was some other. Yo, that was like good.

Boom.

I'm like the. Then I heard it again.

Boom.

Like, yo, this got a. You had to go outside and let him know he wasn't the only one with a gun though, right? No.

How far away did it sound?

Yo, surprisingly, the first one sound like that was mad far.

Yeah.

The second one sounded like that was like a couple blocks over. That was like he's working his way towards you.

So you were underneath the bed.

I was knocked out.

For real?

For real.

It woke you up?

Yeah.

Why would I do that? Oh, yeah, you gotta get up out of there.

I would get up out of there.

Yeah. I didn't know.

I know you would.

Yeah, I know.

It's cool. Get up out of there, man.

You live too close to that still.

No, that was loud as hell. I'm not gonna lie to you. I never heard no like that. Yeah. You got flashbacks A little nervous?

Nah, he jumped. He jumped in the bed like a.

He told this girl, go check and see what that is. Go look out the window.

Went to the window, peeped in.

Crazy as a.

All right. So, yeah, it was peaceful.

Peaceful.

Okay. Peaceful. Peaceful. Peace all around the board so far. Damona, you, you, you.

I cooked and had people over. I'm a New Year's person. I like to cook and have, like, house parties. I would never go outside doing.

Yeah, he ain't bring no nothing. No leftovers either. Nothing.

Right.

I was almost not gonna share this because I didn't want to be bombarded.

What you cook?

You don't wanna know.

No, I do. I do.

We actually want to know.

I made fried cabbage with beef bacon. I made string beans with turkey neck. I made baked macaroni, cheese yams, fried chicken and a roast.

And it was all gone before you came in here.

My cousin made buffalo chicken. Yeah. I had a nightlight. Parks, like, I woke up there, like. You know what I mean? Oh, okay. I don't know. When nobody left. I don't know none of that.

Gotta check the cameras.

I still. I enjoyed myself for what? You know, I was available for everybody. Loved the food, so that was good. The only thing that was shitty was, like, the music. I need to do playlists. You know what I mean? That's like, a part. It was me. Everybody was complaining.

You were cooking and on the Aux.

Exactly.

That's too much.

That shows the type of. I'm around.

Like you said, a playlist.

Well, let me hear what your speaker setup was. Like.

This. I went to Walmart because I recently moved. I went to Walmart and got the first little speaker I saw for this little small shindig. It was, what, 10 people here? It wasn't like.

How much was the speaker?

15 people. It was 200.

I thought you was about to say 39.99 or something.

No, I ain't that crazy, but it was okay. But I don't know. I need more music, so I want to get, like, you know, like a sound system down there. Yeah. Because I'm a music person, girl.

Okay.

I like cooking for my people, so I had fun.

Did you invite some dick over to stay? To stay till after everybody left?

I didn't. Because dick don't be around everybody. So it wasn't going.

You know, you keep them separate.

Yeah.

Or once they leave, then, you know.

I mean, I don't even speak outside. Is that crazy? I thought you wasn't supposed to speak to each other. People act Like I'm wrong for that.

You're not wrong.

I don't speak to a act like, I don't know. You don't like people. Men don't like that. That's crazy.

Oh, what?

What?

It goes different when you're, like, building towards something.

I guess I'm not building. It go different. It go different when she got a name.

That's what the.

That's what it is.

That's why. That's my. That's what it is. If I was a regular, he wouldn't give a. But being that I'm. I'm who I am. You want me to it, would you.

He trying to come up off you.

I don't care what you did yesterday last night. I ain't speaking.

All right.

I like what I said. He's right. I sl.

No, I got right.

That's the only reason why they care.

So you have got it? You good?

I'm having a what?

So you're having a hard time. I'm getting tricked with. Yeah, me neither. I'm out of there. I'm out of here. You got it. What you doing? I heard you was in the streets. New Year's. New Year was what day? Wednesday night. Wednesday.

Imani was over at the crib. And then he said he was going.

To see wherever you were, Imani will not go home. What the fuck?

Imani ran with me to the clip show.

Gee, I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything at all. I was in the house the entire day. And because my lady has been sick since she got here, we kind of have just been in the house for days and days and days and days and days. So right around 8 o', clock, I put on It's a Rock and jocking Anderson Cooper and then Don Lemon. And I'm flicking and I'm watching got performances. It wasn't a bad show. It wasn't a bad little.

Yeah, I watched a little bit.

It was.

And I always planned on just. I always planned on keeping it local. I planned on just like running across the street real quick and hearing some music and.

Right.

So in the morning. Oh, that's what happened in the morning. I called the owner of the establishment to talk, like, hey, tonight. And I get the funny international ring, like. And he answered. I said, nick, are you in New Jersey? He said, no, me and my wife took a trip. We closed. We're not opening. Sorry.

Oh, sorry, buddy.

I was like, all right, that's fine. So now it's.

Just figure it out.

I'm in the crib with it. But when I'm watching the Don Lemon in them, they in Times Square live. And it didn't look like a lot of people to me. It didn't look crazy.

Yeah, it didn't look.

And then I'm looking, I could see the west side Highway. And I'm like, yo, it don't look like it's much going on over there, right? So we got dressed, we threw something on. Maddie said she was doing something on 57th Street.

Okay.

We ran over there, took a couple pictures, heard some music, and by the time the touristy people got in there, I was gone. I left 15 minutes, I was home. It was amazing. It was beautiful.

That's dope. Know what I noticed about New Year's Eve? And you know, you watch the. The ball drop, the countdown and all that shit.

Yeah.

Because we all using these streaming boxes.

No, it was all behind.

Shit is all over the place.

I had to ask the party. I was like, are we gonna do.

Phone time or TV time?

Yeah, yeah, I'm looking. I'm like this say 12 o'.

Clock.

They had 30 seconds left. Like, it's New Year's already.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know if I'm just so old that the New Year's that I. New Year's Eve that I remember in Times Square and New York and New Jersey was pandemonium.

Yeah, it was.

It didn't look like that.

You couldn't go nowhere. The city, you couldn't breathe. Shit is shut down. It's fireworks.

This.

I didn't see none of that this year.

And it hit me like, holy. A lot of travel was up.

No, the world is different.

No, the world is different.

People afraid to come outside.

Not just that. Oh, go. You can finish.

I'm just. I'm just saying people left. Left New York in mass. Yeah. The people that are in New York that maybe they ain't really trying to come. This was the. The first year that. That I. I was really in. Aligned with staying the house coach for New Year's Eve. Like, we've been out the country for the last couple years.

No, but I'm fam. Not just that, though. The rest of the world is whooping our ass in New Year's Eve celebrations. That's my point. Like, is like, we don't need to go see this when they doing what the. They doing in Abu Dhabi, in Dubai and all. You watch these shits on tv, Times Square look like some. Some. The people that got. They got drone shows out here going Crazy now they're not even doing fireworks. Used to come here for New Year's things for out of towners or people out in the country to come here. Travel was kind of up and then to. I said you could go to Sydney and when you see that in Australia, they New Year's Eve looks insane. This should like the projects. Yeah, Singapore and all that. This over here look like some.

So on top of the fact that it's 2025, 2026, being in a group of a large group of people. Being in a large group of people in this country, it's like being a sitting duck. Like you don't know what's going to happen. Any of those things. Where you going where everybody at the movies, the mall. It's been an incident that you. You can think about, think back to. That scares you for wanting to go and be with a bunch of people. Like, fuck that. On top of the fact that the COVID thing, like you don't really want to be around a bunch of strangers coughing and shit. Like those days is over. We live in a different way. Like an opposite. It's like totally different from what we was coming up and what was cool.

That's fair.

Yeah.

I think New York has lost some of its cachet. A lot of it. Vegas, Miami, like you just look fuck international. Just the New Year celebrations around the country, we weren't at the top. That they had in Miami was fire. The in Vegas was fire. Like New York look bland as hell. Everybody out there wearing sponsored gear by a certain company. It just looked like a commercial. It looked goofy as it's like, yo, nobody want to do that.

Yeah, I think y' all took this somewhere else. I'm just talking as a New Yorker. I wasn't trying to go to Sydney and Singapore and like that's cool. But I'm just talking about as a New Yorker that's in New York having the realization that things are different. Not so much the what they doing in Times. We don't give a about Times Square. I was never going to Times Square. But just as a whole New Yorkers.

Weren'T going to Time Square.

Yeah, yeah, that's a tourist. But that's the thing. It was a tourist destination. It's not even.

No tourists up there.

Because they went everywhere else.

Well, no, because they won't let them leave. Leave their spot in line and go to the bathroom. So now they got to stand there with a diaper or a maxi pad or in case they piss. And that don't sound like no Fun Korean.

That's been the thing for years, though.

They put the Korean right on the news. He pulled a maxi pad right out.

Got pissed on this.

Oh, yeah, the white dude. It was a white dude.

That's crazy.

They got a diaper on now. You want to.

Koreans had the diapers on. They beat the white dude again. He could only get the maxi pad.

But that ain't worth it, bro.

Oh, man. So that was that. But I ain't mad at in the house culture.

Yeah, I love it either.

Have a little kickback.

That's it.

Once my house is built, I don't think I'm ever going anywhere else but New Year's Eve. Yeah, yeah, it was. My house is built. I might just be on some. On some. Oh, sit here.

I got it all here. I ain't gotta go nowhere.

Yeah, yeah.

Ain't wrong with that.

Well, then you gotta trust the dancers that you're hiring.

I knew it.

Gotta bet them a little bit. I know it.

I know it.

Someone has to bet the damage.

Someone's got a bit.

I'm joking. I'll be. Have grown out of that by the time.

Oh, I'm sure that.

How long before your house built?

Some time.

You ain't growing out of that, man. Who you? It's us, man.

This us should be about a two year process.

Oh, is that something you're supposed to.

I'm over it already.

Is that something you're supposed to grow out of it? Is it something called too old to be in a strip club?

No. Are you up?

Exactly.

It's not about that. It's more just about, like. Like, just where's your mind? Like, where's your mind? Like, like I start. I start every year on some. I'm sitting. I'm sitting down, I don't want to be seen type. Then I did take some money and go buy some gold and silver.

Did you?

Okay. All right. And it just made me look at my stripper money differently. Gold and silver shoe. How to get on there like bitcoin.

It's not bad. Not a bad investment.

That just is active crazy for the last 10 years.

Well, I'm talking about the last week. Hey, the last week. Anyway. Come on. New Year's resolutions.

Oh, yeah.

20, 26 predictions. Give me. Give me some new goals. Give me all of the corny that people do at this top of the year.

The. The resolution that lasts for a week. Not even. You ain't eating no sugar.

Come back, see some cookies. You talk about. Come on, let's hear it.

I mean, my main one started already. I can't call it a New Year's resolution because it was the gym. But I've been in the gym since November, so that. That's been like. But more so just health, like, getting up on top of my health, like, staying, you know, I want to eat better. That's, that's. That's the result because I'm still even in the gym. That's only part of it. You have to eat better. I'm eating, like, still.

So, Mona, that's really the main one. What you got, girl? What's happening?

I hate to be the one, but money. I want me some money.

Oh, my God.

I've been thinking about, like, a tour. I want to do, like, a tour through Cali or whatever. And I just want to, like, make a couple investments, do something besides what I'm doing. You know what I mean? I want to start, like. Because I lost a lot of weight last year, but I want to start, like, I want to be like, the strong, but, you know, you lift the weights and shit. Like, I want to build an ass. You know what I mean?

I got you.

So definitely getting used to being in the gym with somebody, like, showing me how to do it so I can learn it myself and then keep it up or whatever. But earlier you said something about using the gym all last year. I think that people don't pay attention to that. Like, if that was your goal and you actually kept it up through the year, you're supposed to pat yourself in the back. But that's very hard to do. That's a big deal. Deal. So I don't know. I want all my resolutions to become like, lifestyle changes. Almost everything I want to do. I really want to continue to do right.

Ain't just a year thing, but I.

Never thought resolutions were corny. I like the energy of it's a brand new year. It's not like when it's a brand new month. So a brand new year is always, like, lit. So I don't know. I'm excited and I'm writing all my down. That's another thing I don't always do, writing it down. I think it helps you even checking it off or being able to look at what you wrote months ago and where you at now or whatever.

Right?

Yeah, that's a good one.

That's good.

That's real good. I need. I need some. Some money.

Money. Yeah, act like money.

My is really financially driven. On another level. Like, my ain't where it should be.

What you trying to stick some up. It's the way you, like, came. So, like, man, it's some paper.

You with it. Got this. I got a lick over here.

You could drive.

Text me.

My is really just financial driven for the most part. I've been trying to be a little more healthy. I still got put the sugar down, but outside of that, everything for me is financial.

What are those? Unfortunately, in.

I've been saying. I've been saying for months that I'm trying to be debt free, so I'm working toward that. Shit is hard, though. Like, I just don't want to owe nobody no money because I think the economy is about to plummet. So I just don't want to be in this position where I still got all these bills out here. Credit card, this, credit card, that credit card. I'm trying to just be zero, and that shit is hard as hell to do, but that's my goal. Like, I want to be by. Like, why is it. Why is it so hard to do? Because you got to have money coming in to start paying off all that shit, and my money just be seeming like that shit flying out of my hands. You know what I'm saying? So I need more income, and I need to lower my expenses. So, you know, working in combination, that shit is hard to do.

Got it.

And then, you know, the health shit is definitely something. God willing, I'll be 50 in a couple weeks, so that shit is a thing. So, you know, trying to be healthy for my daughters is different.

Mm.

Yeah. I want to work more. And in order to work more, I have to take better care of my brain and body.

Yeah.

So anything that I want to do at this age is all related to health. I was laughing the other day, and I got so many just pills in my house. Like, at 45, going on 46, I never took this many pills in my life. You had a cholesterol, a blood pressure.

Are you at the point where you got the little weekly organized shit?

No, no, no, I'm not. I'm still. I'm still a little spry.

No, you could.

I'm still a little spry. Cause there is no. I mean, I got a couple pills I got to take every day. I got some other pills in case some other shit pop up like a headache. Fucking what? What else? What'd you say? Yeah, threesome.

I said, yo, you got some other pills just in case some other shit pop up?

Oh, I got those pills, too. I got those pills, too. Now you know what I mean? Solid. Solid as a rock. You Never know when you need to take care of something. Yo, which one is Ashford the man, huh?

Which one was Ashford?

Oh, my God, you Lipson. That's funny. But, yeah. So, yeah, I'm. I'm with y' all on the elf.

I want to.

I want to work out more. I want to do more. I want to go on a cruise this year. I want to go on a cruise. I've never been on a cruise.

You know, I be screaming, that rich car look bad.

No, the Ritz Carlton cruise. And how long would you come in? Yara is coming out with a cruise in 20.

28.

8.

You said this year.

Yeah, but they're gonna test it. You want to be a tester boat.

You'Ll be a beta tester on a boat.

You'll be a guinea pig in the.

Oh, I would definitely go, oh, that.

Because they don't mean tester.

I know they don't mean.

That ain't what they saying. But anyway, yeah, I want to go on a cruise. I know that's not a New Year's resolution, but it's something that I do want to take.

Like, how many days would you do a cruise?

And I'm so curious about, why haven't you been on one?

My brother tried to drown me when I was young.

I never been on one.

I hate the idea of them. That's why I've never been.

I love a cruise, bro.

I hate the idea that we have to spend days of travel. So if it's an eight day trip, you might be having three or four of them days at sea just trying to get where you at. I know it's fun on the boat, but I just don't like the idea of being on that boat.

I'm not a boat guy.

Me neither.

I like boats, but that boat's too big.

I heard you don't. I feel like a boat because it's so big.

See, I'm down with Depp. If I'm going to do a boat, put some luxury on the boat. But anytime I went to, I forgot where we went. It was the group trip, and it was like, oh, let's go take the boat over here, and then it travels over here and then.

No, that's not that. That's not that. The cruise is.

Excuse me.

A cruise ship. Again, I've been on multiple cruises. Cruise ship is like an entire city.

All right.

No, no, no, don't stunt. I'm just. Y' all said y' all never been on a cruise, so I'm giving you some. Some Insight from someone who has a cruise ship is literally like an entire city. On the boat out there, you talking about 11, 12, 13, 14 floors of. And everything you can imagine, whether it be a movie theater, 20 restaurants.

All right, slow down.

Are you cruising?

That's not the cruise I want to go on.

I'm not talking about.

We're not talking about the same even. Even in the description. That he described the. Out of me.

Tell Mona. Don't tell Mona.

15 floors of a city. What if I want to profile someone?

He said tell profile my.

Now. Now we on the same boat. That be the. That be the. I just happen to bump into at the bar, the bathroom, everywhere.

No, it must be some type of.

Time share thing, cuz. No, no, no, Shade, bro. All of you cruise talk the same. It's like y' all selling this after you get off. I'm telling you, four you four different dinners and three breakfasts. And they got Jamaican food on the second floor. And there's in there. Everybody in there. Y' all all sounds like.

I bet it's a lot of going on in that boat, though.

It's definitely a lot of.

There's a lot of. But no, no, no reason why people say that is because people always say I don't want to be out and stranded in the middle of the ocean like that. Yeah, I was the same way on my very first cruise. But until that night when I walked, went all the way up to the top and went to the edge, you forget that. Like, you don't see that you on the water. It's so much going on. It's no different than being on the resort. Like, you do not see that all this shit is going on out here. The Ritz Carlton joints ain't that.

No, I just googled it.

I wasn't trying to be funny. I just googled it. But the maximum on these shits is 450. The other crew.

What'S the other one?

I stopped listening to ICE as soon as he said 14. When he said the number 14, I tapped right out of that one. I wish I would. 14 floors of you. You timeshare on a boat. Suck my dick. But now on the Rich Carden Cruise, I got the other fear and we can move on. But the other fear of now there's somebody important on here that they'll make this whole boat get missing just to get rid of that one guy.

Oh, God.

I've seen too many of those movies, too.

Oh, yeah.

This whole boat will disappear.

It sounds crazy.

No, no, no.

Crazy nothing I believe that happened.

So, look, you rather be with the 5300 or you want to be with the 280? But one of them niggas is a couple of them. We want to get them.

It's all scary. Leaving your house is scary.

I'll take the cruise in a heartbeat, man.

Leaving your house is scary.

Shout out to everybody out there that's on the cruises. Salute.

True. Yeah. Shout out to y'. All. There's some people on vacation right now.

And I was about to say that, too, with the New Year's Eve. When I opened up my timeline. Mad was away.

I'm not gonna lie. Our party was. It was probably 15, 20 people there, but there was mad people that couldn't come because they was not here.

Yeah. Wasn't in the States.

And I seen mad people propos. Hello, G. Herbo. Come on. Congratulations. I see y'. All. You next. My girl see you, too.

They putting that pressure on you said.

A lot of people propose. I said a word for real. Good for y'.

All.

Love wins again. That's fire.

Indeed.

That's fire. The news starts showing me all these babies that was born on the first day of the year. I'm like, oh, look at you, you little cool motherfucker. It's a nice. That's a nice birthday to have.

That is no birthday to have.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

I started thinking of just how old. I mean, we can move on. We can find something to talk about. Drake and whatever they're doing at State. I do know what that. I like that scam. It's a good scam, yo. Like, at some point, you're gonna get caught, but for the money that they made and what they did and what they. Man, that is. Am I even allowed to talk about this? Maybe. Anyway, what was I saying? What was I saying? Before I start talking about steak, you.

Talk about the New Year's babies and all that type of.

Oh, them babies.

All right, anyway.

Come on.

Drake and Aiden Ross and a. Oh, accent is too.

Yep. And Lil, that's what I call Aiden Little. He just always somewhere being a. I.

Know the homie act was in there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. All right. Drake and Steak, the online gambling platform, along with others including streamer Little Fuckity Fog, are being sued in federal class action. Rico. The RICO alleges Drake and others named have been using the tipping feature on stake to transfer money amongst each other that is then used to artificially inflate Drake's music streams across major distribution platforms. Platforms. The docs continue by alleging that Drake knew what was going on, but that the other parties listed were his co conspirators who would mask the money, the money transfer or tipping transfer, as various giveaways, et cetera. These transfers were encrypted and not widely available to be seen by the public eye. One alleged example of the tipping scheme in the lawsuit suit is a very large tip of 100 grand. The lawsuit says this was listed as a tipping transfer between defendants Drake and little in 2023. The DOC continues to allege in December 2024, Drake gave away large sums of money in partnership with and Steak as part of his drizz miss Giveaway allegations continue. These tips and many others like them cycled. Among defendants Drake Ross and George Nagayan.

Sorry, Gwen.

Win. Win.

Oh, Gwen.

No, when. When it's just.

Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Who plaintiffs allege would then underwrite botting and paid engagement campaigns.

It's more to it too. It's not. That's just one part of it is the tipping. The main thing is they're saying that Steak is. Steak is listed as a social casino.

Okay.

So they're telling people like, it's not real money.

Okay.

But what you have to do is you have to purchase stake coins, gamble with that, and then your winnings you can transfer to real money.

Okay.

So it's kind of like they're circumventing some shit.

Got it.

You know, there's all kind of regulations in the United States to be. So that's. That's the main focus is that.

Yeah. Is that they're calling themselves a sweepstakes and operating under sweepstakes rules when you're not.

So Drake and Aiden are just being pulled into this as kind of figureheads. Like people pay attention to it because their names are involved. Otherwise I wouldn't give a fuck.

So that's where the second part comes in. Second part is because Drake and DU are posting like their, Their slips. Their. Their betting slips. Yeah, but they're playing with house money. So they're leading. It's. They're saying they're misleading people into one. It's not a real. You're not using real money and we're playing and winning. But in actuality you're not putting your money up. But then other people will see you're winning and go play and with their, with their real money.

Right.

So it's. You're, you're, you're leading people to gambling by hiding it under something else.

Interesting.

And Then the tipping thing that Joe broke up is the. Is the third point in the rico. It's a civil rico. It's not criminal.

Okay.

Yeah, it's civil. I want to make sure that that's, you know, cleared up.

But.

Yeah.

Also, someone's just gonna end up paying.

Yeah.

Not even a 5.

It's a civil RICO. Then it's not even criminal. They're just gonna.

The plaintiffs, somebody. The plaintiffs are seeking trouble damages. Three times their losses under the rico. Restitution and disgorgement, which is the return of the profits, injunction relief to stop this conduct. Attorneys fees and costs. So this is all financial. So let me ask you, who are the plaintiffs? People that lost their bread.

I would assume so. Yeah. Or people that are alleging to have lost bread.

So the plaintiff in this one. Yeah, it's a class action. Okay. The plaintiffs in this one is. There are Virginia residents. Because this was filed in Virginia. Virginia residents seeking to represent the users. Gotcha. So a group of people in Virginia came together.

Yeah.

And that's gonna end up getting 77.

Yeah. It sounds like a whole bunch of. That's not gonna stick.

$2.81.

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, even if it's thick, what happens with them class actions, it starts to be so many people that the payout don't be significant to the winners.

Yeah. And the first thing I thought was if it's people from Virginia, people from everywhere, like the. The cities that spent the most or where they were, whatever they did, the. They paid for the most ads at. You know what I mean? Because that's all it was. They probably was running those ads because that's the thing. People do these scams or whatever you call this, if you call this a scam or whatever you're supposed to call it, their target. Target audience is always poor people or people that are slow. They don't really know what's up. You know, everything looks sweet to them. It's really kind of up.

And it's the third one because there was also a class action filed in Missouri and one in New Mexico. Yeah. So this is like an ongoing thing.

I wonder what happened with the other ones.

How much did they just. Was filed not too long ago, last year. Gotcha.

Which probably says this is not the last of 50 of them.

It's gonna get started. It's getting there.

50 states. If you start seeing all of the other states and you lost some bread.

I'm on the other side of what y' all saying. It's not saying it's gonna be a big checks paid.

That's what I was thinking. Paid out, but not to the users that are filing. That's what we saying. Yeah, that's the thing. They're gonna pay some money. Let's say it's $300 million, but you got mad. You got 4, 5, 6 million people that need to get a pay, a payout. It don't be a lot of money when individuals start to get their checks, is what I'm saying.

Yeah. I'm not talking about those people.

Gotcha. But, yeah, there will be some money paid off, for sure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can sound like. Seem like a lot of moving parts to this.

Yeah, it does, it does, it does. And that's why I don't really want to pass judgment, because I don't really fully understand where the crime or the bullshit transpired. I don't have enough information to really understand the concepts.

I would take it more serious if it was not civil. If it was. It was criminal. Criminal of some level.

What I see, when I see this is. It sounds like, again, the. The initial point is you're operating basically, you're gambling through like a loophole.

Right.

So when I see that, I think of the legal companies that have the ability to have you gamble, see one of the biggest artists in the world, one of the biggest streamers in the world, pushing something that's. Yeah, we gotta do something about that. That's how I look at that. Right. Oh, no, no, no. Y' all can't do that and get away with that. That makes sense to me.

Yeah, I can totally see it.

You ain't hustling on this block. Yeah, basically makes sense.

Well, not under that set of rules. Not on that as a sweepstakes. Yeah.

Because you can't be. As. You can't be a gambling casino. We got this sold up over here. A bazillion dollars, all this lobbying. We got all these people and not like we got legislation and all of that so that we could work on exactly all of that. Now you done found a loophole and y' all over there getting money. Oh, no, you're not dead. That I agree.

And.

And I ain't mad at them either. I had to pay.

Congressman, I got to learn your rap.

A new house. If in business. If. If. If I had to go this way in business and you went that way in business. And you ain't have to go through all the. That I went through.

You right?

It's out. Yeah. That is some rat.

Okay.

I'm Waiting for you.

What?

I take it back. That's okay. It's some haters.

That's good business, right? What? He just paint you, right? You goddamn right.

Oh, I was just talking about his.

But y' all be believing him.

I'm just saying that, you know the.

Problem, that topic always comes up here in like some real low level situation. That's the problem.

Wants to get up there. Nah, up there.

But what he just described is not low level. And, and yeah, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody that's not gonna say, hey, nah, no way. We just went through all of this and you operate. No, no.

And we went through all of this so that we the ones that get to do it.

What? How do you assume that those, those rules and regulations are 1 million times more strict and there's a lot more shit that you gotta pay to even. To even present that way.

No, it's billions.

Honestly, it don't come sooner. You see these went and got the biggest rapper in the world. He's sitting there every week on. On Instagram.

We're not doing this. But it's still smooth.

Cuz that's where I feel like they really are like squashing the competition because they have a certain amount of dollars for advertisement and marketing. These people have Drake, like you cannot beat that. Especially if he's constantly on social media.

Talking about it and saying that I'm winning.

Right?

Like he's shown tickets and like where he supposedly 1. So now you got a whole group. If you, if you add Drake and a. And Ross. Now you got all the 20 something year olds and the 30 year olds now saying, yo, let me go sign up. Let me go sign up. Let me go sign up. I look at it like an ad. It is for sure. You know what I'm saying? It's influencer marketing. Yeah, we just got.

And if you're doing that then you. Then you should already have the money aside that is about to cost you. And they do.

Oh, they do. And guess what they'll do. The company got it. They'll do it again. If they've made XYZ amount. Let's say they made 20 billion. We just throwing numbers out. We don't know nothing about their financials. But if they made 20 billion and they get fined $800 million quick.

I feel like I've been seeing this stuff since COVID where it's like these. It's almost like it looked like a sham and it looked like it's really not. Right. Whatever the topic is bitcoin this, that, whatever. And most people see it and think, who the fuck would believe that or fuck with it. But it's targeted for people that do believe that. Target for people that see a winning slip and they instantly think, damn, you could do that. You know what I mean?

I'm broke, rich, quick. And I'm, I'm trying to come up. Yeah, that's it.

You won't.

I ain't mad. I ain't mad at it. Just like some hating.

Listen, this is part of what comes with a good. This is what comes with it.

It's a cat mouse game. As soon as you get some ad there, here they go. They're gonna try to shut that down. Now you got to work around it, find another way. Then here they come again. It's the same game. Being a crook is a 24 hour job. You gotta always find out how to beat the new you know what I'm saying? Like you do. Yeah. I remember my man, the credit card, the little chip, he knew the chip was coming on the cards like four years before. And I'm like, how the like, yo dog, it's my job to know what's coming out. I was like, you gotta Playboy. They them be all they be having the tech magazines and all that. The crooks, the good ones, they keep abreast of the technology my you got. You know what I'm saying?

Listen, I'm, I'm chilling. I'm a law abiding citizen, my brother. Yes, sir. But shout out to the scammers out there. Yeah, get it. How you gotta get. I include y' all in my prayers. I can't believe y' all at the new year in. And don't pray. But I, I'm not, I'm not starting.

Oh my God. He been on his.

I'm not doing that.

I'm not doing it.

I'm not doing it.

Listen, Pastor Joe, now I gotta switch this.

Not Master Joe.

Not Master Joe.

Ever since allegedly we don't pray over our food.

No listen to each. No, it wasn't your food. It was that fake holiday. That fake holiday. Praying around the table. I was performing. It's a fake holiday. Do what the fuck you want. But the new year.

You don't think the new year's fake holiday Word.

That's the construct.

I think that the new year is the calendar that us here operate by. So when it's 26, then first of all, it's never a bad time to pray. Agree. Let me start, let me start there. Agree. So even, even in fake calendar time. No matter where I am, I'm not speaking for you. I'm not judging y'.

All.

I'm not dissing y'. All. No matter where I am, I'm. I'm praying in the club. I'm going to the corner to pray. If I have the kickback at the house, I go in my bedroom when it's 11:57, I get in the corner. That's just. Just me and who I've been since. If my pastor was alive, rest in peace, Rev. Ron. I would have went to church to hear him, but, yeah, I'm with that. I'm with that. I wonder if Keno went to church. He said he was going to church.

That.

That really is the move.

If you got a pastor that you want to hear from, like a church that really gets. The choir is good, the. The. The band is good, then that is a real vibe for sure. Because then you could leave there and if you still want to hit the streets or go home, either way, it's a win. It's a win. So. You goddamn right. I was in the club and I prayed for y'.

All.

I always include y'.

All.

Oh, it'd be nice to get prayed for it. Appreciate it.

Who don't pray? Why you keep saying day?

He think.

I was the one that prayed at Thanksgiving when you was having an issue? Yo, dog, why do you think don't pray. Just group you and, like, yo, it was you.

Just.

Cause we don't pray at the schedule that you want us to pray?

Telling you, my guy with me all.

The time for months, he just keep dropping it. I don't know where he going with this. Keep talking about these years to come. This might go TD Jake's on us. I'm just telling you.

No, no, I'm not. No, no. Picking up. Pick another. Pick another, dude. No, no, no. Kirk Franklin, I'm telling you.

Praying for you.

I'm just.

Father God, please protect all the titties.

Come on.

Don't let T. Delicious throw her back and knees out.

Father God, please protect her ankles and those shoes. You know the hills are high.

Please, please, please.

We pray, though. Can we please make that a thing? We pray. I don't know why Pastor Joe keep taking it there, but we pray. Now you about to cut that.

Never would have made it.

Like, come on. This. He's something. Only Joe Button can use that.

I pray more than you.

Don't pray like me.

He crazy.

Damn. How I ain't got. Please him or don't hurt him. What is going on with my laptop that I don't have? Please, Hammer, don't hurt him. Y' all know. Y' all know I bought that album.

Mr. Joe is dead. Pastor Joe is alive.

It's Pastor Joe now.

It's Pastor Joe.

You was in Jersey City with the baggy pants on. You got baggy pants on now.

No, this when I was down south. This when I was down here. Oh, he was killing down south right here. What? Please, Hammer, don't hurt him. They talking about 1990.

Damn. Damn is old, bro.

I know. And I. And I realized that when I thought about my siblings. Oh, my dad just walked in. My little sister Jimmy. Yeah, you speak to me when you give me a hug. Girl, you crazy. Happy New Year. Come here. Look. She's like, these little girls. Oh, I love you. Happy New Year to y'. All.

Happy New Year.

But when I thought about my. My younger siblings, I was like, yo, some of these was. Was born in the 2000s.

Something that should be.

And they got opinions.

Damn.

I remember when personalities.

I remember when Jackie was pregnant, like 20, 26.

Now, like, they out.

They outside with them. Yes, they can drink.

Drink, drink, man. Something. They can rent cars, words.

Yeah, they could get the good insurance rate, my nigga, if you. If you 45, you could easily have a 27 year old. Yeah, like, you don't be seeing the memes on Instagram when the girls be like, yo, y' all better stop playing. Cause I'm at the age where I could date the son or the father.

Well, that's how I know I'm old. Cause that we left that last part, and I found out who Constant. That girlfriend mom was.

Oh, an old friend.

No.

Oh, yo, yo, we birds. We. Oh, we old enough now to where we know the moms a few.

It's a few.

Yeah, it's a few, man.

My girl showed me the blogs. I'm like, wait, that's this girl's daughter. Yo, you was popping them out?

Yeah.

18, 19, 20, 21. But the mom, they tell the story. I mean, I wish I'd have knew that before I went on my long little rant the last part about Cosinat and this girl. But the mom tell the story. And she was in the blogs recently talking all this about consonant. Because Kat said, y', all, I googled your mom. I googled your mom. I Do remember that and don't be seen with her again.

That's exactly what happened. Yes, I remember that. I do know who the mom is.

Yeah, you know the mom.

Yeah, we all know the M. We know the mom. We know the M part.

That's what I'm saying.

The mom is known Parks. You know the M, bro. Oh, you know the mom.

The mom is. Is that unfair? Is it unfair? Like if mom is moving around, you just assume that it's going to pass, that it passes. Can moving around be passed down in your jeans?

Sometimes it does.

Yeah.

When y' all say moving around, y' all talking about mean just moving around.

I don't even necessarily mean just moving around a certain way. I mean, and I think if the kid. If the kid come up and come up in that and see that when they get of age, they blueprint been late. I totally agree.

Really?

I've lived long enough.

He's reaching back out. Put the phone down, dog. Why are you reaching out again, dog?

I. I think that they grow up seeing some of that and it almost becomes second nature.

They damn.

They're trained. We won't say no names, but I know a bunch of them and they. Daughters grow up moving like that.

You wouldn't think that some of the daughters grew up hating what they saw, hating what they were around, and they're complete opposite of that.

It's possible, but your. But your value system typically comes from your environment, and your parents play a big part in that. So if your parents grew up worshiping Birkin bags and worshiping Benzes and worshiping all of that, then you as a kid put that to the highest level of priority.

Right.

You get what I'm saying?

What if you go to school for you get a job for it versus for it or just using it, maybe.

You might not be for it. Yes, I said I wasn't saying. But. But those.

Do these get this. If they ain't got no guys.

So that's the point.

Got the picture with the blazer.

What job at 18 gonna afford you some of these things? What job at 19 or 20 is going to afford you some of these things? That don't happen.

There you go.

I don't know. I think it go both ways, but I feel like I would rather hear from the minute or from people, period, that see it because on the top of my head, I can't even think of it. People that I know. Daughters and you know what I mean?

Yes, you do. Yes, you do. When we get off this mic, we'll tell You a couple names. Oh, yeah.

Okay. All right.

Like, my thing is if I'm a mom. If I was a mom, I just.

Figured y' all knew more whores than me, but go ahead, continue.

That's on.

You from Philly. Oh, whoa. You from Philly.

But we definitely know more whores than. Than you.

Come on, It's.

It's true, y'. All. Don't. Don't be. Don't be. Don't be bashing. We definitely know more than.

For your honesty, Joey.

But if I was a mom, I would want. In my. I would want to steer my kid away from that.

Yeah, for sure.

If I was a mom.

But you can steer him all the way.

But what if you were a bird mom?

Yeah, I was getting ready to say depending on how old you was, but no, but the I knew I had to do to get money or the I had to. Yo, a lot of these girls be getting their asses whipped and all that other stuff. I would want my kids to stay away from that. It's like, yo, you're a drug dealer and you know, you had to hide under cars and you jumping over barbed wire gates and you got to turn your head every time you walk out your door your don't want your sons going through that same level of stress.

Or you shouldn't, or you might raise them to be a better drug dealer.

I went through that. Let me give you the game so you don't have to make those mistakes back to.

Back to being passed through your bloodline or. Them Diggs boys. Yeah, man, them Digs brothers. Something is in there. Something is in there. Good or bad. Who am I to say? That's for God to judge. If you pray. Amen. If you pray. That's the God. But something is in the. I wish I had seen the chef that Stephon Diggs was beefing about before I get said. Whatever I said, nigga, you back at it again. Nigga, nigga, you ain't see it. What is wrong with this boy? Yo, this young man. Yo, stop.

Yo, who do y' all be trying.

To piss on and tell that it's fucking raining with these blogs and reports on what happened? Nigga, I got a dick. I know what happened.

She. She don't look like she.

Listen.

She.

She looked like she make a good plate.

I'm looking out of that. Yo, tell the truth, dog. And that's why shorty jumped in and the text and your wife.

And now.

Now it all makes sense. It didn't make. You gotta live in. You gotta Live in Chef. Yo, dog, you gotta live in chef.

No, no, no. Show a new living chef. That just started the football season. That wasn't a long term living chef. He just started. She was just for the season. Yeah, she cooking up some things. Hating on shorty.

Yo, he needs. He need to get. He. That.

That what? He.

He. That he need to get that up.

Because I can't say it.

Yeah, you can't. I can't say. I'm stuck.

I can't say what it.

Yeah, I mean, as a dude, you just understand, but what the. Oh, pardon me. I'm a little sister. See, I can't. Can't even curse the way I want. Stefan Diggs, you gotta cut it the f out.

No, he don't.

Yes, he does.

Ish. Come on.

Ax said he need to get neutered. I agree. Almost. I agree.

You go.

There's such thing as two nuts.

No, it's not, dog.

You don't need. That is. You don't need.

You don't need to sleep. He don't think he going that crazy.

You don't need to. Your chef. Ish. What are you back with him? What are you about to defend?

He give you.

I never did that with a chef.

So I don't care about his face.

There's not one chef I ever did that with, so I don't care about his little stupid face he make because we on the platform together.

What about a groundsman?

Tell me about it.

Yo, he's so fully. It's cool. Let me tell you this. I'm not. I'm not condoning or defending him. What I'm saying is he's in his 20s, right? He's filthy rich. He's in his 20s, and he's a handsome dude. Dude, he's married, right? No, no, he's not married. Not married. Yo, when you filthy rich, you in your 20s, and you're a handsome dude, you running around. You got options in unlimited. You running around. We was running around broke in our 20s, doing. Wow. If we had the resources that he had, what would me have you have been doing 20 years ago?

Not what he's doing.

I don't think you. I don't think it's one part of that that I don't think would have been doing.

It's be saying. And don't be all the way up abreast on what. There's more.

There's more of 20, 25. I wouldn't have been doing that, y'.

All.

So that. That's. That's the Point, though, I'm not. But it was. That was. I'm the condom guy. Y' all know I've been a condom guy since I was in my 20s. What I'm saying is that's not my bag, and it's never been my bag. However, if I was in my 20s and I had 20, 30, 40 M's, my. I would have been running through girls like stoplights. I'm not gonna sit here and condemn this young running through girls like stoplights. That's my point. So I'm not gonna condemn this kid for just doing that at a higher level than I was doing it based on the resources that he got. I would be being a hypocrite. I would. I would. I'm not gonna condemn, but I would say there's a way to move a little bit smarter. You popping babies out every three weeks. Pull out. I agree with that. I think that's irresponsible, and I think it's unfair to the children that you are having that you may not be able to be there in their lives. That part is true. But I'm talking about him running around with the women. We was doing that.

No, I'm not talking about. That's why I said it's a little different. I don't think you said, what doing.

I agree with Ice. I think there's a way that things can be done. And how he doing it ain't that. But that ain't all I'm saying.

That's all I'm saying.

My. My conversation didn't start with what he doing with his. With his dick. It started with get a chef.

A real chef.

Get a chef, dog.

All right, all right, you lost me.

Why? I say. I say it all the time. Don't hire your man to be your driver, but get. Hire real positions.

Cool.

But you saying, don't beat me down about this. Is my living chef your dog. But if that's somebody else.

But if that position comes with other positions.

Nah, nah. You got.

You gotta get the real chef. But you can still have the baddie. Just maybe not as an employee.

I know a lot of the stripper chefs, when they came over to cook and may put the rice in the pineapple and all that. I wasn't sticking my dick in it just.

It's for.

Hey, all right. Dance, my fool. Do a little something. She should not be at this. You think.

You think you're the majority in that?

Exactly.

What, you think you're the majority or the minority in that?

Do I think I am the Minority, majority.

The stripper chef. And we know some of them, and some of them are fire esthetically.

Would you move her in?

No, I'm not moving them in like that anyway, but I'm. You said don't put your.

All right, defend the other Diggs boy, too. Come on, you're a Cowboy fan. Defend this.

He can't cover. That's all I care about. I could care less what he doing. His personal life. He can't stick no receivers, bro. It's either interception or you getting cooked. That's all I care about.

They told him. Yo, dog, you can't stay. You can't stay, right? You can't go to the con. The. The. The what concert was the Shot Glizzy concert?

No, he thought. He just didn't want to stay with his family. My family's out here. This is what I do on the holidays. I want to stay here the extra day.

Awesome. But what concert was it? I'm pretty sure it was Shot Glizzy.

Okay.

That's how they found out. Because Shot Glizzy is the one that posted the picture of Trayvon Diggs at the concert. We just told you no, as a team. Something is in that. I'm telling you, something is in that.

Entitlement.

I ain't the person to say whether it's off or on, but there's something in there. That's what I got. That's it. That's it. Sorry.

I think it's valid.

It's something. And maybe it's just entitlement, bro. No, no, no. It could just be lack of, like, having, like, a OG Damn near to just like. Yo, dog, you have not paid any recourse for anything that you have done, so you feel entitled because you never pay consequences for the. That you're doing. My. You tell the team.

No.

The team that pays you. I'm tell y' all no, because I think y' all need me, and y' all ain't gonna do. Yeah, news flash, that's entitlement. My.

And Stefan Diggs is 32. Because you always be cute. Yeah. You always be talking like is 23, 24, and 25. Kai, Sonata has some grace for. Dog. You 32 years old. You know that when you come in, babies come.

I just.

And you know that when you're that wealthy, people probably want the baby.

Yeah.

And you know that if you hire the chef to live in the room down the hall with the badass. Come on, dog. Then you're gonna like, what the hell are we.

Oh, there's so many babies.

That's the crazy part. That's not funny. And I'm not condoning that part at all. Not even. Not even close to condoning that. I was talking about the other stuff.

The.

Yeah, like in the running mad girl and all that other stuff. That's what I was talking about. Move a little smarter, though. You having these children is irresponsible. So I'm not never condoning that. I'm talking about you need a personal advisor. Somebody that's just in your circle to kind of. Yo, my man. Yo, yo.

Let me.

You need somebody, you need. He needs a little bit of guidance from somebody. Hey, apparently, yes. He was 32. He wasn't the most mature, but a.

Little bit more mature now.

I'm not.

All I'm saying is if you beating.

Myself up, if you still moving that.

Way at 32, then yes, you need it. If you're still moving that way at 42, then yes, you need it. It ain't the age thing. If you still moving that way, you haven't matured. And, and, and it's. These are the consequences of it. Somebody that you value should be in your circle to kind of pull you to the side and let you know you bugging the out.

Yeah, I ain't judging him, but God damn.

I am.

I ain't judging nobody, but God damn it.

All right, he gotta go talk to the lady, but the lady has it. But that's what Joe was trying to say. Like, you have to put yourself in positions where you wouldn't do that. So when you looking around for the lady and you see she's attractive, you go to the older guy. That's how you. That's. That's being preventive, you know what I mean? Versus being proactive. You have three kids, one summer. Say it. You do good for two months. Being pre active is like, you know, being in front of it. Proactive is like you don't hire the chef that got the FedEx. You just don't even hire that person or interview with that person.

Yeah, don't even do it. Don't even get around. You dudes with the. You dudes with the. You. You want to tell too about you dudes with the personal assistants that, that.

That come in and the blazer with.

The young, the public skin, like, come on, stylist.

I'm hiring for a personal assistant myself.

Excuse me.

You gotta be dark skinned with waves.

Yes. How did you know? He don't even got. Know how to type my.

Basically, no, it's fine. Yo, this guy is crazy. I had a living personal system before. And everybody else. Who got to talk to her, she had a little fast thing. Did that.

Does that affect the job, though?

Yes.

Like, did you let her go because of that?

Huh?

Did you, like, let her go because.

Oh, yeah, that was part of it.

Damn.

Yeah, that was Balderman.

I guess that would be kind of weird to fuck all your balls. Closest friends. I guess that would be weird.

And you learn a lot about your friends, too. Like, that's why all this pretentious shit these niggas do up there.

You know what's up.

Yo, these niggas can't play with me like that. Maybe not. Ish. Ish wasn't around, but I don't know.

What you talking about.

I ain't your personal assistant. I'll say maybe not. Ish. Ish and ice.

Well, I'm talking about just knowing your friends and learning about your friends. Yeah, look, mute him up.

Know your friends. That's different.

Muted him up.

Know your friends is different.

You so dumb. Okay, now, like usual, y' all had a good. A great topic while we were off Mike. Tell me about it. I wasn't here. I was saying bye to my sister, doing all types of. What did I miss? What did I miss? Somebody give me a good one.

Po and me were chatting and Po said, well, Moni, you know what they say. You never do any better than your first baby father. And I said, po, I don't know what the fuck that's supposed to mean. Ex husband.

It's.

No.

And I was like, oh, please. You know that's bullshit. When I turned around, he was still smiling. He's like. I was like, you don't believe that rhetoric. He said, that's Kevin Samuels. That's from Kevin Samuels. So then I said, I'm not the biggest fan of Kevin Samuels.

And I was shocked because Mona tends to side with the.

With.

With the men or think a little more logical on some of the shit and rock with the nigga. So I was shocked that you wasn't a fan of Kev. Like, rest in peace. Kevin Samuels.

Definitely rest in peace to the brother. Rest in peace to that man.

We interviewed him. He's another friend of the show.

Wow. He came up here with y'. All.

Yeah, no, we with Kev.

Ain't that something? Y' all gonna jump me?

No.

Did you see her? I got the right one here.

But what's. But what's your issue with Kev?

It's. I don't have an issue with him.

And I don't know. I don't know if I agree with that. You'll never beat your first baby.

I don't agree at all.

That's the thing. Like, I don't agree with that for sure. I feel like. Like I'm somebody for sure to try to, like, learn from certain mistakes. So it's like people get. Okay, let me say this. People get used to. Get stuck on the thing of, like, women would have a baby with a man and not be happy with them on how they co parented or the kind of relationship or what happened, and they'll still have another baby with that Man. So they'll have a mission set. Yeah, like, I don't even subscribe to that. Like, I don't give a how long this mailbox list gonna be. I'm gonna keep trying so I find the right.

I think that's insanity.

I would rather do that than to double back. You know what I mean? Just me personally. So I don't know. Now with Kevin, what I will say is because even being in this game myself, it's so easy to get take things the wrong way with these clips going viral. You get a piece of the conversation. By the time the clip get to you, it's only a little piece. The back end. You don't know. So I never watch his stuff. I will say that. But I didn't like the first clips that I saw. And a lot of them were just him being kind of harsh when it came to, like, what he rated a woman and what according to his rate and what she was going to get. Because I'm somebody that seen women that aren't necessarily the most attractive or don't have these great track records. You know, I say it all the time up here. Whores get treated the best. People marry their whores. People love whores. You know, a be horn all around Jersey. This move to Houston. She a whole new get a husband, live a whole new life. Nobody gives a.

And he heard about her hoeing, but she sucks gooch for more than three minutes. You know what I mean?

You might not have heard about her horn.

I feel like people hear it. I mean, I'm sure some have it.

But it's like they running that Yankee player through. Through the mill that they proposed to his girl, but she was only fans girl. And then he said, no, that's. She's not an only fans girl. Then they posted some hits or some more footage like, listen, listen, my brother, we trying to tell you. And then he was like, no, that's my baby. But you know, it's always that's my baby. I put it in the song. I put it right in the song. That's my baby. My baby would never. Hey. Part of growing up is realizing your baby would. Would your baby will do it.

And that's the thing about it. Also, I want to say something today. I think a lot of people probably watch me on here and assume that I'm kind of a guy's girl when in reality I just. I'm just insane. So what you think I'm about to say? I always say the opposite. That's really what it is. I don't necessarily take the girl route or the guy route. It's just I put it in my brain and do the trauma and like the pressure, it gets all up and then. It's funny.

I miss Kev almost every year, man. It was just somebody to say, you a seven. No. What do you say? Break yourself and don't use.

Don't use seven.

What's he said? Don't use seven.

It the game up.

It changed the game. Don't use seven. It's just good content whether you doing relationship or not to anybody. Dudes too. You'll rate yourself. No, seven.

That because I played it safe with the seven.

Yeah, seven girls.

I don't want you too hot girls.

Was like, I'm a nice.

He was like, no, no, no. He didn't say cam up.

Came up. Yo, Kev was. Oh, no, he was good content. Sure.

He's good content.

No good. No, for sure. He came up here, treated us like the gum on the bottom of his shoe. But not on purpose.

Yeah, not on purpose.

It wasn't on purpose.

It was funny, though. He thought he was talking to him.

Hold this right here. Nah. Yeah. Now Kev came up here and treated us.

Thought he was talking to some lawyers.

Seriously.

He took us through there. Took us through there.

That is so funny.

I was. I think I was carrying his umbrella and his luggage and he was hands free. He was texting or something. I was like. He was. He was sending a text. What? Yeah, yeah, he had multiple bags. Yeah, he had multiple bags.

He was catching the flight that had.

The Bergdorf bags and all that. Nah, he was dressed to the.

He.

He stunted. He came stunned.

He stunted.

That's so funny. That's hilarious.

Rest in peace, C. Rest in peace, C. All right. What else. What else is going on? What else is happening out there? I'm trying to get to. Y' all want to get to some of this music? Y' all want to get to doi? Y' all want to get to uncle Murder Skills wrap ups can do that. What do y want to do? Come on, let's get to the.

We can start with the doi doi and scissor record. Girl, get up. You got a little bit for us. Little single that popped up out of nowhere.

Here's some of that.

Closing out the year.

I really like this record.

Me too.

Me too.

Right? We good. Let's hit it.

Shout out to Jay Versace did the beat.

Hey, let's go. Jay Versace.

Industry plant right?

Here we go the teeth on the.

Blogs I see you in the chat you suck every rap dick back but what's the agenda when the it girl black Y' all can't fathom that I work this hard and y' all can't fathom that I earned this chart Y' all can't stand my vibe cause I'm anointed All y' all evil ass hoes just annoying blank Blame it on the fame, blame it on the coat blame it on the do say got you feeling low Y' all wanna believe I'm on drugs and forsaken they won't credit me so they blame it on Satan Blame it on my label, blame it on my team End of the day everything is on me Miss Back lady, little miss S, Little miss higher them hoes than fire them all right, all.

Right all right all right all right all right all right all right all.

Smoking yeah right I love got her off.

How we feeling? How we feeling? Absolutely.

I love it so much because I really couldn't get why was everybody saying certain about her when it first came out. But it's like, clearly why? It's because she's not supposed to have it. I remember when I first earned dukes posted do and I first saw her, the first thing I've ever saw, I was like. Like, oh my God. Because I never saw it. I haven't seen anything like her since. For me, like me Missy, like, that's how talented she is to me.

What you mean because she's not supposed.

To have it because she's dark? Because she black. She a black girl. She don't have the same. I know we had this conversation about the bbl I do not want to revisit.

Yeah, I'm not talking about it.

But just in general. Like, dark skin girl's not supposed to be the most popping or got the new fancy thing. Everybody looks kind of the same. Like I feel like the fact that she's creative and she come up with her own and she doesn't like when she say, y' all suck dicks to get there, it makes it. It reinforces to me that she didn't. You know what I mean? So the fact that she did it the right way and she worked hard, anything other than that is disrespectful to the hard work she put in. So I like that she popping it. Cause she should. You know what I mean?

I get that. For a lot of people, though, it wasn't really about her complexion. It was just. We didn't understand. It was such a. It almost felt like overnight, not saying she didn't work, but to a lot of people who, like, mainstream wise, it felt overnight. And it was like, okay, wait, you went from here to Grammy to this, to this, to the District magazine to this. It was like. It was a very quick ascension. Usually you could see, okay, you went from this stage to this to the. You can almost see the progression.

And the visuals were better.

The music. Let me be clear. I'm not trying to discredit any of her music. I'm a Dolce fan. I With it. I'm just saying that that was the critique, though. It was like, hey, it almost seemed like an overnight artist went from A to Z immediately and skipped all the middle steps.

But she didn't, though.

She did not. People didn't look it up.

But for. For people that did not see those steps, it seemed overnight. So they questioned it.

It also came off the heels of the Kendrick Drake beef. And anybody that associated with her. Associated her with the Kendrick side. That was gonna hate.

Yeah, yeah, that too.

Like, it was. It was a lot of that residual.

Yeah, that's. That's all I saw from. From those. But I. I just didn't. The people that I saw questioning her, I never once heard them say, well, that's not.

But that's not. That's not something you say out loud, though, hon. Like, that's not a conversation. People don't say, oh, she. Why was she. Why is she so good with her black ass? People don't say that out loud, but.

People will say things that can't tell you that that's what they're thinking. And it wasn't. It wasn't. I didn't. I didn't get anything that they were placing it on her complexion is all I'm saying. I agree with Ice. I think that.

Well, they both. Right. Mona. Mona and Ice.

Yeah, they both could be right. But I think just. Just an example, people had never heard of her. She came and sat on this couch right Joe Button podcast. Don't let anybody come up here. So for her not to have a name and was sitting on his couch, that would raise eyebrows to some people, right? Like, damn, how they pull that off? So that must be tde. That must be her team. That might. The album speaks for itself. That album was an amazing. Like a nine, bro. Yeah, nine and a half. Like, that album was up there for me. So the fact. And then she got up here and said, nah, nigga, I ain't new to this. I was in the trenches. Mixtape after mixtape after mixtape, this deal, that deal and. And stretched out her path and her journey that she was on, which was a multi year journey, but nobody knew the journey. So I mean, as a music fan, they will say, yo, this is a plant or this is a this or this is a that just out of ignorance because they didn't know. You know what I'm saying? And she signed to the biggest label or arguably the biggest label out.

So it looked like the label was making some moves for you, which they should. I'm not even. I'm not even mad if the label is making moves. If the product is the. It's good as hell.

I wouldn't. I would totally feel y' all if she wasn't so innovative and so great and so like, that's what I'm saying. Like, she's supposed to move up quick. I don't. I don't really feel it.

But Pastor name tricking me. I mean, I'm not. I have nothing to say on this topic. I have absolutely nothing.

Yo, her album.

Yeah, yeah, that's.

That album is an amazing. I like this amazing album and this song is fine.

I like her addressing the.

The.

The plant stuff. I like that.

I'm a very big fan of rappers rapping to address. That's like, she didn't go on Instagram. She didn't write a bunch of tweets about it.

She.

Okay, you know what? I'm gonna talk to y' all through my avenue right here. And that's rap. So I don't care how I. Even if I didn't like her, I'm gonna always respect that move from a rapper.

Get in the booth.

Yeah, yeah, she's a rapper's rapper.

She is.

And. And to your point, nice to see a dark skinned, complected, beautiful, young and extremely talented woman winning, making waves. Who cares? Who cares how the win happened?

And I'm looking forward to whatever shop. I'm sure she's got something coming this year. This is just a warm Up.

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if the album damn near done.

Yes.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, we might get one more. But yeah, she's definitely on my list of people that I. I have a feeling are gonna pop out.

Yeah, she'll pop out in the spring.

Once this first quarter little wave is over, everybody back to releasing music. Yeah, she'll be one of the ones want to get to wrap ups.

Let's do it. You want do murder?

Well, before we leave Doji, I do want to say I'm rooting for Glasses Malone to get all the crips together to beat up homeboy. I am sorry because I think that's who she was talking to in the song.

Yeah. I didn't know at first he was.

Talking a little little.

The more I looked into it, she was directly talking to him because he said some wild.

Yeah. He said a bunch of bulls wild.

Yeah.

Yeah. It's disgusting.

Yeah.

And then it was some back and forth after she put the song out. And Glass. I like Glasses Malone saying what he said and hopefully he meant it.

I like men standing up for women.

Yeah.

In them instances.

Yeah. No, it's true. Some go glasses. It's my man. It's my guy.

My guy.

Good. Good guy. Good man. All right, wrap up time.

Let's go.

Wrap up time at the end of every year. Who we got?

Murder.

Oh, murder. All right. Did you hear Skills?

I didn't hear Skills yet.

Got it.

This is probably.

This is too long. We're not doing but I love this beat. Beat. I love the beat.

By the way.

New podcast alert. Oh, this ain't the beat. The volume, you know, it's a bunch of beats. Yeah.

He switch it up.

Oh, then I didn't hear. I thought I heard it for the time. It's the unit. Did he beat that Rico Diddy? Lucky they couldn't prove it. But the prosecution still Charles Diddy with prostitution. He got four years because of Cassie. That was his main bitch. She enjoyed them free golf. These ain't when she testified we heard too much extra. He like rubbing other steaming on his chest and say pause.

Man, that sound nasty.

As he had a mask on in the room watching Cassie get somebody J.C. lawrence said Jay Z. I know that jail time stressing them. Then that documentary dropped on Netflix called the Reckoning. When he heard that drop he probably dropped to the ground 50 to 70 definition to kicking while he g was diabolical.

It ruins you.

They try to say you made Biggie.

Pay for his own funeral. Little Rod don't want to party with Puff no more.

He said he used to wake up after the party, man. Too much messy stuff. He said he used to wake up next to girls or next to Puff. Sounded like he enjoyed all of that.

Gay.

If Puff would have made it, man, he wasn't gonna say he helped you get the album done.

Y' all finished it. All you had to to do was.

Pay him and you could have kept hitting it, yo. Wasn't going to say a thing. 50 documentary did more number than Strange Things cuz that Diddy was doing stranger playing with other like it's okay. Turn this off, yo. Yo, we can turn this off. We can turn this off. Thank you very much.

Had nothing on it. He just stating facts is funny.

That's what make it the no, that's why I look for this every year.

It's a crazy ass year, bro. He's not even spicing it.

He's just enough documentary did more numbers.

Than Stranger Things cuz he was over.

There doing some Stranger Things.

A Stranger Things finale was.

Yeah, I heard a lot about that. It made me want to watch the show.

Oh, you never watched it at all.

I watched a little bit of first season. That's it.

The last. The last one before this was not great. But this they wrapped it up very well.

But if I watch it, I do have to watch everyone right? To get.

Yeah, for sure, man.

We talk about the wrap up.

I'm so glad that show is over you I'm so glad that I don't have to see the promotion and all you stranger things out here. Oh that is over. Them kids is grown as hell. They are y' all still chasing them around. What is Stranger Things even about anymore? But anyway the show anyway. Yeah. What do y' all think that beat is hard too.

That'd be hard.

That beat is hard too. Great. Great Mace flip.

I I love this shit because every he do this he. He say what a lot of people be wanting to say because murder don't give a and he's just gonna bluntly say it and if it piss you off, it piss you off. It don't. It don't. Whatever. I I love. I love this.

Yeah.

He'S nuts. You know he's nuts. He is saying the that really want to say and don't have a heart to say especially publicly and being in the industry.

Yeah.

I think you're like man, I don't give a you rubbing nut on your chest out of here.

Is there a part in this where he spoke about the rest of the year.

Yeah.

Because the part that I heard was kind of fixated on Puff too.

No. Well, even last year when he did.

This and that was the Shaka Khan flip. I thought that Flip was incredible.

He. But, yes, he does speak on the rest of the year. But again, you know, they don't really like Puff too tough. Like, he's been shooting at Puff for years. So he couldn't. He gonna use his Runway to get his off on Puff. And Puff was probably one of the biggest things in hip hop.

It was.

It was.

It was the biggest thing in hip hop. You can skip. Skip ahead.

Did y' all get through this whole thing?

Of course.

You goddamn right. I never could finish him. Like, 17 minutes is crazy.

17 minutes you do Doing a lot.

Figure out how to condense.

I'm in there every year. Every year, every year, like clockwork.

There's two names I can count on him to say every year. This one, I'm surprised he didn't say it this year, but he usually do. But it's you and K Michelle. He gonna mention y' all one way or another every year. But he didn't. He didn't do her this year.

But I know what happened. But passed away that I'm G unit. Can't say nothing nice. 50 gonna be like, what you doing?

Picture me saying that. I'm just paying my respects. He gonna be like, no more tours, no more private jets.

Honestly, I gotta feel him. Irv used to hang around them that try to kill him. Can't expect 50 to show no sympathy. Feels the other way around. Irving had the same energy. Meanwhile, Ja Rule got that 100 guns, 100 clips. Got punched in the face at the Barclays. Ain't some. He was on his way to the stage where he got snuffed. It happened so fast, Fat Joe couldn't break it up. You know that little video y' all saw was after he got knocked out.

And got up off the floor.

First he tried to say T. K was capping. Then he had to come out and tell the truth about what happened. But nobody care what job. Who got to say he an example of a nothing beats a jet to holiday. Found out Summer walk up crazy. She ain't got no shame in. That's in relationships. That's what she said. I'm just repeating this. She out here for money like she.

Ain'T even a she.

Too successful to be acting like a slut. So risk the kid to save her number under Pizza Hut. I couldn't believe that. Hope Summer Walker know one day her kids is going to see that. So disrespectful. Part of my man is just found out. Kabucci getting by Dion Sanders. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.

You talk about the rest of the year, though.

Yeah, he does.

Shout out to Murder, man.

It's a comedy tract to me. This should be hilarious.

Shout out to Uncle Murder. I'm never listening to 17 minutes of you.

No.

Oh, no.

That's just. Just not gonna happen. Is this the longest one yet?

Last year was three parts, like three tracks. Every time midway through the year, I'll be sitting there saying to myself like, all right, Murder will have to put an EP out at this point because it'd be so much happening. There's no way he could cover it all in one track. Like, he left off this, this, and I got them all. Of course, this ain't the longest one. Yeah, good. I'm gonna tell you. I can tell you the time, but I look forward. I look forward to these shits, man. Yeah, we got 12 months of I'm not gonna hold you.

Yeah, that's cause he don't rap the rest of the year.

Yeah, I'm pop out right here.

That's why he didn't got to. Right, There you go, There you go, There you go. Y' all have died. Let me look for the other man. Shout out to Murder. Let me look for Cuz we always play Murder and not Skills. That's.

I couldn't find skill.

I didn't know it dropped.

Skills.

I didn't know it dropped. Yeah, I didn't even know he dropped it. My false skills. My God too. I had no idea you doing the.

Wrap up this year. N. I ain't really feeling it this year. D' Angelo beat lit. That's what's up.

Really? What's up, twin? This the wrap up for 2025. Off the rip. I'm just glad we all survived. And we usually laughed and Kiki then just tripping. But this year wasn't fun. So this point gon hit different. And you might say, damn, you sound like you down Skills. I'm like, nah, I just sound how everybody feels. So even though we all been through it, this is 2025 rapper. Let's get into it. Soon as Trump came back, he had to ask the grind. I can't even lie his orange ass ain't waste no time. And if one Thinging's for sure, two things for certain. If I could show you better, I could tell your ass was a person man, this fool did not come to play. Like, how you change 30,000 laws in under 30 days. And the Philly Eagles was the team to beat. Meanwhile, Ice out here icing, taking people off the street.

Okay.

Patty.

Yeah, His a little sad.

My skillshare is always more serious. Like, it ain't as jokey joke. I told you, Murder is a comedy track. You're gonna listen to it to laugh.

I like the jokey joke person.

How long is this one? How long is it?

I don't know.

You got. It's four minutes.

Still too much, man. Keep. Get that to 130.

This one is 4 minutes and 32 seconds, man. Shout out to Skills. Shout out to Murder.

There you go.

I. I'm not Vanilla Ice, so I'm gonna tell y' all the truth. If we never got another. Another wrap up, like, at some point, they should end. I want those to end before I die. Nah, Before I die, I want both of them to chill like y' all did it. Skills been doing this my whole life. Skills don't have nothing bad to say about you, my brother. You do sound a little sad on this. You sound like the year 2025 was tough.

It was.

I understand that sentiment. Good to get that part. And murder just sound like. Oh, man, forget it. Forget it, man.

Skills been doing these since 02.

Damn.

I had to go check.

As a rapper, when do you stop something?

That's a very good question.

Stop what?

Rappers never know when to stop. And I'm not just.

I'm not now.

I'm not talking about murdering Skills. Now I'm opening the conversation. Rappers never know when to just stop something.

Stop what, though?

Mixtape Volume 4044 of your mixtape saying.

Any stick, a stick, anything.

Okay, all right. Now if. If I'm known for that stick. And that's kind of. Y' all don't look to me for nothing else. And I know it's like. It's like we. I'm gonna use both of those. Both of them, for example.

Yeah.

If they drop anything throughout the year, a lot. Not saying nobody, but a lot of people is like, yo, that's not what we here for. We. We don't look to you for hearing you throughout the year. We want to hear you at the end of the year. That's my time.

Right?

What's the problem with that?

There's no problem with that. But I do worry that it pigeons hole pigeonholes you as I'm already pigeonholed. Yeah, but they're both very talented. They could do other.

No, but As a human, you should want to elevate and do something different like that you pigeonhole, you make money with it and whatever. Just as a person. You elevate, you get bigger. You different. You want something different.

What happens when you try those other things and it don't work? But I know I got this in the tuck. Uncle Murder changed his name to Lenny Grant. Change his name. Lenny Grant put two albums out. Nobody gave a. Went back to Uncle Murder. Because first it was, you know, trying to market a name as Uncle Murder. Not it. It's gonna put me in a box, so I'll use my real name. Try to do that. Guess what? Nobody gave a. Not saying.

A long list of the rappers that had to go get a job.

But if I got something that still.

Works, go get a job. Go to Costco's.

I don't have to go to Costco.

Go somewhere. This conversation is gonna go somewhere else. So. So.

No, I'm just saying.

The man that's fending for himself when the first come in the house by itself, you're gonna do what you got to do. I agree. Murder is not that he's running around. He's running around with fit. Yeah. So he has the luxury. Correct of. All right, I'm not rapping. End of the year. Here we go. That wouldn't be the case if the scenario or situation was different. Shit you describing. They've conditioned their fans. Right. And I don't even want to feel like I spent too much time on this. They've conditioned their fans. I do this every year, so they expect it. That's how conditioning works. You could also recondition your fans.

Yeah.

Is what Parks is saying. Into something else. And part of that is doing something different. Part of that is doing something different.

But when I do something different and my fans and nobody else don't give a fuck, I go to my safe zone. I fall back to what I know works.

That's operating from a place of fear.

Yeah, I hear.

But no, the fear is not taking the step. I take the step, and if it don't work, I gotta fall back. I know I could always give you a wrap up.

That's not.

But that's what I'm saying.

That's not a whole fallback. You putting up verse out at the end.

It's not a.

A 20 minute ver.

That's not. That's ain't a fallback in what the conversation we having.

I just think they should diversify a little bit. That's all I'm saying. I. I enjoy the wrap ups. I'm going to listen to them every year. But I also would like more stuff at other times.

And how much do think making from that? Okay.

I don't think it's a money play for that.

Okay.

I don't think it is either.

It was hilarious though stuff.

And that's my point. I'm doing it for it to be hilarious. Like you said, you want to hear other stuff. Did you listen to the Lenny Grant albums?

Yeah, I did actually.

Did you listen to the album you had last year?

I don't think I listen to album.

But that's what I'm saying though. Like the people that keep saying that when we do, when somebody do other things, I gotta go and support them other things. That's true too. If not, let me fall back to it. But you listen to the wrap up.

Yeah, I will. I will.

So let me fall back to this right here because I know this works. When I say works, I don't mean financial actually works because like you said, I'm running around with fifth. I don't necessarily need to put out music to make money. But I know this keeps my name in certain conversations going. I can go to this. This works.

All right, listen, whatever works.

Yeah, for sure.

Whatever works. To each his own. Have fun. Supposed to be some fun. I don't want to serious out the fun. Yeah, it was funny. It was funny. It was funny. What would you say about me?

He mentioned the changes that the pot went through and then that you're making a lot of money.

Complimentary.

Oh yeah, he did say that too. Forgot about that part.

What he said.

He said you're on drugs.

Yeah.

You said I was on drugs.

On drugs.

I forgot I was epic because I was sleepwalking.

Yeah, that's what it was.

But that wasn't his year.

So you reach him, he's like not even doing it.

It was the end of last year.

It was.

But last year nonetheless. That's the other reason I know I'm phony now on Netflix. I pull up all last year. If it don't say 2020, that 2026 is me up up there for some of them shows. 2026. That one little change is jacking me up.

Yeah.

Oh my lord. Yo, not a topic at all. But I'm. I'm started Yellowstone and morning show. I'm at like episode six or seven. Yo morning show.

That's just.

You still in season one?

Yes.

I want to go back. I might watch yo morning show with.

Steve Carell being accused of sexual misconduct and how it affects the business.

Yeah.

Crazy.

They should have wrote that for. For that would have made in the description that would. That.

That they don't tell you nothing. They tell you nothing.

I thought it was some happy go.

Lucky too, about a month morning show. But no, Steve Carell was in there. Everybody that worked at the morning show.

Yes, he was.

And then Jennifer Aniston is in a contract negotiation and she wants co anchor. She wants to co anchor approval. And then Reese R. Spoon is a nut. That show is. I'm almost done with season one.

It's fine.

Just. I'm almost done with season one. Give.

Give me periodical. Periodical. Because I'm just hearing where you at? And it's making me think that some.

Of this gets like, they.

I heard they fell off at some point.

No, they didn't.

I heard they got tough at some point. Two or three.

They were a little too. And maybe it's just the time it was like the Kobe show was.

Yeah, they managed to. They ain't fall off, though. It was still no fall off.

But it was. There was certain points where I was like, all right, this is too, like, on the nose for me. It stretches, but it ends up being worth it in the long run. But there were some times I was like, all right, covet. I get it. Cool. The world's up. I live through it. Yeah. I don't want to see that anymore.

Got it.

As another reason you shouldn't your chef right now. Honestly, Are you crazy? It is lawsuit city out here. It is that little 150 she asking for for me. You should have paid it. Yeah. Wait, you did crazy. Yeah. Y' all are crazy. It's the problem with ish when we have these talks is we came up in a different time. We came up in, like, the 90s and the 2000s. It wasn't lawsuit city.

That is true.

So today we gotta think, like, so as we'll be like, oh, discipline. But it ain't discipline.

It's knowing that's part of the discipline.

Yeah, there you go.

So that's still part of the discipline. Knowing that, yo, doing this, this could lead to that.

We can't.

And then make everything fall. Make all the jingle pieces fall.

You don't care. You still go the job. Look at that.

I didn't say none of that.

When you get some money, like, money, money.

I didn't. I'm. I'm minding my business. I'm saying that when we was. I. I put it in context. Like, you can't judge a. A 20 something year old dude with our 40 something year old brain. And sometimes we do that. Like we did that. We was about to do that with Casa Not. We did that with John Tay Murray. A lot of these things. You talking about gentlemen that are fresh out of college, fresh in, like, learning life.

I don't care about that. I caught you moving around again.

You didn't catch me moving nowhere.

You into comedy?

Yeah.

Sure I am. Yeah, I know what you went to.

Yo, you act like you don't send.

So phony.

I'm not sending you so phony.

I'm just.

I'm just telling you what I see. I'mma start.

I'mma start telling you the sights I.

See on you, yo. I'm just telling you what I see. This is in Spanish. And you right there, yo. So I'm on the phone. I'm on the phone with Ian the other day. You know What? In my 20, 26 bag, trying to get these things right, right? This cleaning lady comes over there, huh? Right? He tell her some in English. You say, huh? What Don't. Don't you know? This man starts speaking fluent Spanish to his cleaning lady, and Schwartzman. Schwartzman. Ian starts speaking fluent Spanish to his cleaning lady. I'm having a whole conversation. So I look him dead in the face. I'm like, yo, dog, why have I never known that you can speak Spanish? And he looks at me and says, I speak Spanish, like, fluently.

I didn't know that.

I said, ian, why didn't I ever know that? He said, I mean, we. You never asked.

You don't speak Spanish. Spanish ain't gonna speak it to you. Yeah.

He said, you never asked. When people look you in the face and say something as dumb as you never ask, I'm gonna just randomly say.

Hey, by the way, he's been on.

Duolingo going crazy for the past four years.

I'm not mad at you.

Speaking Spanish changes the game. But anyway, so I'm like, damn, why didn't I know that? I know that Edith Kino's lady speaks Spanish, of course. But I know that because we went To Costa Rica. True. And she was speaking Spanish to the people out there. Okay. And Ian was supposed to go.

He was.

To Costa Rica. Which led me to. While I'm on the phone with him, I'm saying, yo, dog, now that I think about it, you and your wife have told some of the worst couple lies that I've ever heard. Starting with how y' all ended up not going to Costa Rica.

Oh, that's the lie right there.

Stop it, dog. Jules was three days pregnant. She was three days pregnant, saying, hey, we came from the doctor. I'm pregnant. And the doctor said that I shouldn't fly or I shouldn't be around mosquitoes. That's what they said to some. To people with children.

I didn't get one mosquito bite.

I mean, I got a bunch, but I have kids. No, I've been there for multiple pregnancies.

Not just that.

That is the biggest crock of that I've ever heard.

The doctors won't tell you not to flop. And the fact they told my girl when my girl was pregnant that you have up until. It's a name for it. A something trip. It's a name for it. Like your seventh, eighth month is when you're supposed to take that last trip before you conceive.

Julia was 30 minutes pregnant, and they said that you can't fly, which led me to your dog. You have to tell. Y' all have to tell better lies as a couple. As a couple that you did for Costa Rica for New Year's, you not being at my birthday. Like, some of the lies that y' all were telling was, oh, I'm just sleepy today. What?

I can't put no effort into the lies.

That's what I'm saying.

Just mail in the lie in.

That's what I'm. As a couple, y' all together, two brains. Two minds are better than one. Two brains are better.

Gotta come up with something better.

Y' all have to come up with something better than that. So that leads me to couple. I mean, lies that you have told as a couple.

I got an easy one off RIP trip for the New Year's Eve party. People came in. I'm wearing a tuck shirt and bow tie and tucks pants. Everyone's like, you didn't put that on the invitation not to wear, you know, to get put some on. I was like, well, my wife, she wanted to get dressed up, so I got to get dressed up now. I put it right on her, and she corroborated. And, you know, everyone sat there in their Hoodies and had to deal with it.

That's fire.

The couple. There's always the one where. Why we don't go somewhere that's. I put it on her all the time. Yo. Or the kids. Oh, yeah, we'll use the kids. Oh, yeah. We couldn't do it because we just didn't feel like it. Like, honestly, got. Half the time, I don't go somewhere, I just don't feel like it, But.

Which is fine, by the way. You could also say that.

Okay, all right, we're getting somewhere now. We cooking with grease and oil here. Yeah. What do y' all do when one of y' all want to go somewhere and the other one don't?

It depends on who want to go. If it's. If it's fa.

All right, so fa. If I want to go, we going.

If you don't want to go, you go.

I don't think that's necessarily true.

No, he said that. I didn't say anything.

He didn't say that. He truly didn't say that.

Because if your girl want to go is where, unfortunately, you gotta go.

Yeah, no. Okay, perfect.

Yes, you come.

I'm a rat. I'm. I'm gonna just snitch.

Do it. She right there.

She's right there. Run. I'mma tell it. I mean, she gonna. The date is coming anyway. I ain't gonna be there. I don't give a. Where you at. We get an invite to a friend's birthday party. It is a friend. It's a legit friend that shows up to everything that I invite them to.

So your friend, her friend, or your friend?

My friend, our friend.

Okay, got it.

My friend, our friend. Got it.

Got it.

But it's a girl, so they do the girly invites. Of course. I got the invite to Parks's shindig from Rim. Sending it to her. Yeah, girls do that. They.

Why they. Because we don't. You know why they do that?

So now here she go saying, oh, I gotta come back on this date.

I think I do.

Because we're going to this. Because we got to go to this party. So I say, okay, send. Let me see the invitation. Yo, I'm a judgy man. Do y' all know that about me?

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

So she showed me the flyer. Huh? Wait, El Mani, Are you crazy? You not going here? No, he not going. Anyway, so she shows me the. The name of the place. The name of the place has a K in it, but the K is in weed plants.

Oh, okay.

Problem number one.

I Know the spot you're talking about.

I'm probably not gonna go yet. So I find the place on Instagram. It's the, the. The X list. All stars in this place. Like a bunch of. They gotta. They doing ads and doing influencer type up in this. And I just start seeing some of the people that's in here. They told me we got six floors aparted the floor just like it's all. I looked at my girl and said, hey, check this out. You can come up here that day, but I ain't going to this party. Crazy as hell if I'm going. Well, I sent a gift. I'll do something else. But let's come up with a couple lie. Yeah, let's come up with the lie. Hey, think of it now. Think of it now, because when that day come. Nah, it ain't happening. Sorry, sorry. Well, they gonna hear. They go here. I love you. No, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

So it's.

It's because.

So you don't want to go because of the spot? Or is it just like it's times where you just legitimately. I. We don't want to go January and.

Then I want to do anything this month.

Yeah, don't invite me to my low shit this morning month. My. My energy. I'm not sharing energy with people in the weed influencer party spot. So then she brought up your party that we went to. She said we went to ice, and you remember ice? And I said, we didn't plan on going to ice. We just happened to be free and available at the same time.

That's different than planning to go to something.

I'm talking about planning to go. I never said a word. Ice about go at that party, right?

You did.

I just popped up.

I told.

I just popped up, though, so.

Yeah.

Nah, sorry, buddy. Sorry, sorry. And it's messed up. I didn't go to my brother's birthday party last. Damn. My older brother, everybody was there.

Why?

Huh?

Why didn't you go? Why didn't you go, Mr. Button Pastor.

Why didn't one go? It was like a Sunday or some shit. Was in Newark. It's like, oh, my God. Then I saw the pictures online, like, oh, look at. Hey, they was having a blast. I should have won it. I should have went over there and said hello.

Anyway, now having a significant other is one of the best lie situations you can get off. You can just play off anything and it's a body.

She sick, yo. This.

She be really wanting to go to see.

That's When.

I'm saying that's when you get tricky. That's when you gotta put your foot down as a dude and be like, not this.

No. That's when you end up going, yeah, unfortunately, I hear you, but we here.

Anyway.

Stop, man.

When y' all lies, I'm going.

If my girl say we going, we going. Well, I can tell you when his lies be.

Oh, me too. But no, Go ahead.

No, no, no, I don't go ahead. I blame it on my baby.

That's a good one.

That's always, yeah, nigga, I got a three year old.

The baby's a good one. Yeah, you can't go, the baby's a good one.

What you gonna do?

The baby's a good one.

His lies be. I'm talking about, like, to other people. Yo, we not even having no birthday party for my daughter. We ain't even having no parties.

I got something else. That's no substance at all that I was thinking about. Let's go.

Let's hear it.

You know all the jokes that we make about women and them little tiny dogs?

Sure.

We make a lot of them.

We do.

Do y' all understand what that joke is? When we. When we making them the single lady or just the lady who needs the emotional support, little tiny dog as a companion and yada yada. Y' all get that, right?

Yes.

You don't think it's weird? And I. I had to start, and I'm weird. Why does Parks have a cat?

I have two.

I'm a cat lover.

Why?

Why?

Why is Parks the only guy in the group. Group with cats?

He's a real.

That's right.

Smarter people.

Wait, wait a second. Hold on.

Wait. Wait a minute.

Hey, hey, wait. I mean, look, I don't know, but you can't agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

I want to hunt for a cat right goddamn now. And statistically, cat owners are far smarter than dog owners.

Is that so?

Yes.

It's what statistics said that I. I.

Don'T look it up, man. I gave names. I don't know. I don't know why cats get so much flack. They wipe their own asses, take care of themselves.

Damn near, yes.

You don't have to do nothing to this but put a couple bits in a bowl, take care of himself. Like, come on. You ain't got to. You don't have to do anything.

I can't believe Siobhan killed my cat. Yo, yo, I'm still not over. I use cat lovers up. I like, but that's part of why you're just hating.

Get a cat.

No, I got you under investigation. You're under my scope.

Get a.

You're under my scope. When I had a cat. I know why I had a cat.

There's a thing.

There's a thing to mend my cats.

Yo.

Yo. Well, that's a good one. That's one. What's that cat? See, that double standard is interesting.

Yeah.

Y' all acknowledge that Raven was possessed. Rest in peace, Raven.

Raven was. Was a nut. You talking about. That cat was a nut. That cat was mean. That cat was crazy. A black one. No, it wasn't black. It was.

I'm talking about. Oh, you associating crazy with black. Oh, you. I see what you did.

That cat was. It wasn't no purr.

No, I had a great cat. My cat was great, great, great.

Wait, so what.

What was your loophole with the cat? What was. What was your grift?

I was just.

I was.

Oh. I was the only dude with a cat. And that cat was my everything. That cat was mine.

Yo, dog. That cat came back as.

That cat was there at a time where I needed love, support, friendship, companionship. I spoke to that little.

Yeah, look, the difference with the. With the girls and the little dogs, they get all that in the dog, but they also get to take the dog out and show the dog off it that they want that part, too. You can't. A cat not about to sit there. No picture with you.

Parks is married with a cat.

Two cats.

Two cats.

Two cats.

So you got something to do with the marriage and cats?

I don't know.

Together.

I don't know.

I don't understand.

After our cat passed. Rest in peace, Chairs. She wanted more cats.

Recipes.

Who?

Chairs.

Chairs.

Recipes. Chairs.

So we got cats. We got two of them.

So what's the new one? Sofa and loveseat?

No, no. It's Ojito and Cole.

Sojito and Cole.

That's right.

I love a. I just love a cat with a strippy name. Right now, I'm looking for.

We gonna let this white ride.

Excuse me.

Those are great names. Parks, I'm looking for a bangle or a English British short hair.

Oh, you want a fancy cat?

I do. I wanted a man coon, but I feel like that's more for, like, your house. Cause they're big as shit, but I want a bingo or something. Short hair.

Br.

Hey, yo, my. Go get Heathcliff from around North Philly.

And Shadow, we got.

We got some.

Dead cats. Rip Knickknack. Almost up.

That just sound like a hood ass cat.

Yeah, Riff raff main.

I want a British short hair or.

A bingo, but I used to.

I don't know why.

I'm going get a dog. I'm going. Give me a dog again.

Yeah, yeah, that's dope.

In a few years. In a few years. Something big and obnoxious.

I would like to get a dog. I live in New York. Having a dog in New York to me doesn't seem right.

This big ass cat, yo, I ain't got you in New York.

They barking all that.

I mean you might be right about that too. But cats are valid everywhere, dog.

I know what I don't like with the cats. It's not as personal as the dogs.

Oh, you're bugging my cats are hella.

It depends on the cat. Some kids stay away from their people. Some cats are colorless. It just depends. So if you get a cat that's not a color, that's what you're looking for. You just get another one. Because they have their own little personalities.

Yeah, I got one of each one's personable one is Hugo Hyde.

This is such a good. I'm now remembering I love them me and it stopped talking. And then when we started talking again, I had a big dog. Yeah, that was scared. That for Brooklyn.

Everyone was scared.

No, no, no, no, no, no, wait. No, no, no, no, no. This wouldn't come in my house.

Tell you what happened.

No, no, no.

This is what happened.

Look at this.

We not going to do that. The used to be foaming at the mouth like cjo. The like he sniff the bag. Yo, listen.

Like he just sniffed the bag.

Joe said look at this face and show the dog with. With the teeth. And one of them short baby look like he eat for lunch.

Wouldn't come in my house. House. No.

This is what happened. Nobody would.

It was. It was just a little nip, but it beats Brooklyn. Yeah, just a little bit. You try to buy someone else.

I mean the dog, it bit me too.

By Brooklyn. Thank God. But my all been. You hear the justifying stupidity. It's a cane corso that's running around biting people.

Another exactly. Not running around biting people.

What was he doing doing?

He was home biting people. Yo.

Ish wouldn't come in my house.

No, but it wouldn't come inside my house.

You ring the doorbell and all you hear in responsibility. Let me tell you what happened, all right? Me and Joe didn't speak for mad long.

Cool.

He trained the dog to hate you.

No that's him right there. Show this picture every morning the very.

First day I go to the crib. Once we start speaking, the. The dog is sitting on the porch. I get out the car, the dog rushes downstairs. I jump back in my car, this.

Watch my bins bathing. Oh, what are you doing?

That's what. Why you jump back in the car?

Why?

Oh, no, I told you, it's just a. Hey, I told you this is a bitch. You talking, man.

Yo, dog ass six foot dog jumps on my car and then all black.

And ain't never been on a leash. Didn't know what a leash was.

Never be night time you go in the house, it's pitch black and you just hear the dog.

When you first got Brooklyn, that was scary over there in Totoa n, he.

First got Brooklyn over here.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, you're right. You're right.

That's when we thought he was.

That's when he was eating.

Yeah, we thought we was like, yo, Joe, you got a dog.

But you can't keep saying three of them.

All. I forgot.

We can't say that its own feces.

Yeah, yeah, he was.

Yeah, he went through a stage, this little dookie stage.

We thought that dog was a little different, yo.

Well, that's because we were ill informed. Dogs do have in that first year into a segment where a phase where they eating and there's things in the. That they. They need.

He wasn't just eating the.

Well, he was rolling around like.

It wasn't just eating the.

It was in the dog cage.

Like every day you gotta go watch this dog now. Like you leave to go to the store, you come back and he done.

It and then he moved around.

Think about brooking it harder. He smiled like he really remember, like, damn.

But this is the.

That make me crazy for not wanting to be around a dog that's rolling around his own feces. Harlem was the best. Harlem was the best dog ever.

Ever. By the time you met him, he wasn't doing that. By the time you met him, he was chilling. He was on fight mode. He had to switch on it. Stupid ass. Oh, shout out to everybody out there with pets. Parks is still under my investigation.

I'd like to. I'd like to learn more.

Parks has a cat too, too.

Why?

Anyway, we're gonna get one. You're gonna meet these cats and be.

Like, I love these cats.

Me and my girl go through this argument every day. Damn near. Because I hate dogs. Well, I hate pets. And she has two dogs when we moved in. So I'm like. I call one of them the bane of my existence. That's how I refer to him. Like, yo, let me go.

You don't like no pets?

No, I don't like pets because, yo.

He'S such a. Yeah, this dog is the bathing myself. I hate dogs.

I'm not gonna say I hate dogs. I don't like pets.

You ain't hate them that much.

You got two.

Yeah, she did whatever she want on the movement. Yo, I got six dogs. You hate them? They coming. What else? What else you hate? You allergic to celery? I'm to allergic bringing some celery.

Nah, nah.

But.

But yeah, not just. I never like pets because I don't like. That's constant. That's fully never changing. Dependent on you and you. You know, like, sometimes I might not want to feed you today. I won't have to deal with that today. That's all you got three. Children grow up. Children grow up. Eventually they can get some level of independence. Eventually they just.

Your dog will be dead before the child.

I'm just saying. I. Not you saying about kids. I'm just saying at some point, kids.

You might need some therapy.

Did they also take the attention off you? Because now she paying attention to the dog.

No, no, he competing with Bane.

He's competing. Get her attention, Bane. Make her smile away.

You know what I mean? Oh, that's why you came in looking like that last boy. Try to imitate, babe. The bane of my ex.

What is he doing?

All right, come on, let's find something entertaining to talk about. What else? What else is entertaining out there to talk about? Let's see. We did the wrap ups. Thank God, New Doji, we did that. What else is important? It's the first. It's the first month of the year. Ain't nothing popping out there.

MTV's like officially done as far as MTV.

MTV is a music channel. It's officially done as we know it. I would queue up another One Bites the Dust. They got a whole bunch of news and. Yeah, ridiculous.

They've been done though. What happened is the music so platform. What happened? They had like mtv then they had like the MTV Jams or whatever that will play like music videos. The alternate channels. Those are now done. Now there's nothing that plays music videos anymore sober.

Yep. And I'm doing this for those of us that grew up in a generation where that was extremely important one and for those of us that had many a time up there. 1515 Broadway is a sad day. It's a Sad day in time. A lot of good times up there. So it's over. It's over. It's over. The kids don't give a Fuck.

Yeah, go YouTube.

Yeah, the kids are changing.

I used to watch MTV every religiously.

Ready in the morning, Roll rules.

I would watch. What's the Daily Show? What was that called with trl? Trl. I used to watch trl. Like I thought that eventually I would go to Times Square and jump around out there, but never happened. Thank God I wasn't that dumb. But TV was a big deal. Like I remember before they even played for real because that was like a thing. But I feel like they had performed there. Did you?

Yeah, that was a big deal.

That is a big deal.

That was like prime time after school we went home and watched stuff like that. That was a big deal.

Yeah, that's when.

Yeah, I promise you, the other day we were watching. We were just like putting stuff on and we put music videos on. I hadn't seen half of them. Now these are hits that I like. But the thought of not even knowing what the video that goes with the hit song look like when it would not be one didn't live without the other. You had to have the video, you know, viewership, just like the listening to the song, you know what I mean? We waited for like that Michael Jackson's videos to be six minutes Thursday night.

At 8 o' clock prime time network TV for a video dog. Like Michael Jackson was something else.

And then you know how YouTube would pick this stuff for you? And a busted song came on and it was so crazy because I said to myself, I don't even know a bus buster would have been as big because his videos were just so good. It was bigger than the music, you.

Know what I mean?

You know what? John came on when he played Whiteface. Remember Busta Video? I feel like sometimes he'll get it. Give me some more. I think that might be. I think he don't get enough credit for that sometimes because he was like that on the videos too.

But he was, he was.

Yeah. Music video. I don't know how that, you know, got lost in translation because are still making videos so apparently and they get.

A lot of views on YouTube, but.

It'S just not like it was when we were kids. It's not the same. The same thing.

Well, cuz it's not on like a mainstream television. You got to go find it yourself a little bit.

No, not just that. Everybody got a phone in their hand, right? So you don't have to go home, look at a TV screen to see the video. If you want to look at a video, you could be on a bus looking at your YouTube. You could be out and about looking at YouTube. You don't necessarily have to go to one place. BET, MTV, the jukebox and all that we used to have. You don't have to do that no more.

Right.

You know what I'm saying? So the Juice.

This is such an old ass. These kids got phone. They can see it now as.

No smart. We just have to pay to see the video. You have to pay to see a video.

We got it, y'. All. We old.

Sometimes it's fun looking back at that, seeing how everything came a long way. Like, that is different.

I was thinking about Michael Jackson this morning and. Which led me down a rabbit hole.

I think about him often.

Janet Jackson got to be the LeBron James names or sisters, right?

Tell me more. I think yes.

I'm just trying to think who.

Who else?

Your brother's Michael Jackson, right?

Yeah.

And you still managed to be Janet Jackson.

Who's second? Like, who would be the. Who would be the sister under her? Like, yeah, she's LeBron. So now who's number two sisters?

What is like, Ray J. Oh, yo.

They got it.

Oh, Ray J is another friend. That's my friend, too.

I'm a big fan of Ray J.

Man, that's crazy, son.

I can't think of any more sisters.

Yeah, yeah. It's hard to.

Oh, sisters. It'll come to me. It'll come to me.

Did y' all see that picture she just posted recently? She looks so good. Y' all see the last picture of.

No, it was like she, like, she just got her hair done or something. They just dropped on Twitter. It's on Twitter.

What about when you on threads? What about. We moved on from that n. He done found the block up now. Now we moved on from that. What about them threads though? Where else you at?

You're too old to thread now.

He doesn't post. He only searches and looks.

I don't.

Wait, you a thread lurker?

Yes. He don't pose.

He just lurks Is nuts. Yo, those are the facts.

He don't post. He does not post on it.

Yeah. Nah. Sorry, audience.

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

You're getting pets and threads.

It's the first thing.

I don't think this is slow out there. That's what it is. I'm having a blast, though.

It's the first of the.

That boy. That boy better have some threads posted. You better have some type of homeowner real estate thread.

Oh, he probably going crazy over on thread.

I've never posted a thread in my house.

He didn't put his name.

Oh, my God.

He gotta face this one.

All right, this got 15,000 followers over there in the cut and they never posted. I've never posted no post. His empty.

I've never posted is crazy.

When the app first opened up, we all had threads, but y' all don't make case listen, because y' all be actively on Twitter. Y' all was comparing threads to Twitter. Do you and rock with the one you like the most?

I'm not asking.

I ain't do that.

Do you have another apartment?

Do you?

No.

All right, then. So what you talking about?

Moon is my. I need to look at my brother. Hold on.

Open that again.

Studio apartment.

No, open it again.

A two family somewhere.

Yo, what is wrong?

That boy. All right, man. All right, listen. Also, y' all didn't tell me. Y' all didn't tell me that Chevy. Chevy Chase was on the bad white people list. What are you doing? Yo, I heard his ass. I work with people that. I work with people that never know what the hell these people are doing.

Chevy Chase.

I knew he was an.

But I didn't know he was.

What'd he do now? I gotta go find him. Somebody was about to know. Chevy Chase let me find this.

I know.

I just. I just watched National Lampoon.

Chase is a white great bro.

Well, let's be careful what he said.

Slow down. Slow down. And why is Chevy Chase a white grape?

That's where I respect nostalgia for each.

Not if he running around saying, oh.

I ain't know about all that. Yeah, I'm over here looking now. He has Repeated allegations of abuse on set behavior says Chase, has been widely described as verbally abusive, demeaning, and hostile to his castmates.

I've heard that one.

One.

I've heard that one.

Complaints include yelling, personal insults, intimidation, making sets uncomfortable to work on racist and offensive language claims former colleagues have accused Chase of using racial slurs and making racially offensive jokes. Notably, several cast members from Community alleged use offensive language during arguments with writers and cast. Chase hasn't at times denied intent. Okay. Claims jokes were misunderstood and remarks were taken out of context. This is not helping. Sexist remarks and misogynistic conduct. Some co workers and writers have described demeaning comments towards women, including the missive remarks about female cast members and staff. This has contributed to him being seen as difficult and outdated in modern workplace environments. Then it says there's infamous feuds with Saturday Night Live, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah.

All right.

You see this stuff about Donald Glover?

Nah, it doesn't go into detail.

Chevy Chase had a full meltdown on the Community set after his alleged N word use went public, reveals director J. Shandra Skittenheiser or something. I'm the name who me over. My career is ruined. I'm ruined. All of you, says Chevy Chase. There was history between Chevy and Yvette Nicole Brown around race, and she got up and stormed out of there. Chevy. Chevy storms off. So the producer is like, we need Yvette in the scene, right? I'm like, yeah, she's in the next scene. And he goes, well, she won't come out unless Chevy apologizes to her. Chevy comes back and goes, you know me. You know me and Richard Pryor. I used to call Richard Pryor the N word, and he used to call me the honky. And we loved each other. And I'm like, I know, man. I love that bit. I said, you know, can we just have a little apology? He goes, for what? And the story continues. But this is coming out now. After that, I read all of the shit that Ice just mentioned, and I had no idea that Chevy. Chevy Chase was a piece of shit.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, I had no clue.

He sound like. I heard he was asking, like, out of dated. Who didn't hit the update button? He 82 years old.

Yeah. So that's what I was thinking. I said, I feel like once they get to that old nigga stage, it's harder to kind of, like, keep under wraps. And they come from such a different time.

They come from that time.

You could Just openly do whatever the you want and nobody tells. It's like we ain't in them size a sneaky record you Mr. Chase.

And in you. And just societal norms have changed. Like a bunch of the gay jokes you used to make back in the day. Like all of the comedy specials from the greats today. That wouldn't fly. Yeah, not even close. So I just think again, you know, old people be stuck in they ways. My nigga. 80 years old. That was on the original Big Dogs of Saturday Night Live and all of that shit. You just stuck in your ways and you refused to conform.

I'm not, I'm not using the society changed an example for gay jokes when it comes to white people saying nigga.

No, no. I was just using that as an example of things that you used to could get away with that you can't get away with today. And they used to get away with saying.

Yeah.

And even it was always the intent was always the word. The intent behind the word is always that girl.

Frankie. Chevy Chase. So I know you real Chevy Chase.

Him.

I'm a. About Chevy Chase.

Ish.

Joe, you know I could care less about these 80 year old white men.

I don't know that man. You start telling me about Lampoon.

It's not my man.

Why you know so many Chevy Chase movies then?

Cause I'm.

You just said he was white.

49 years old.

Recant all that white greatness. You said. Seriously dumbass. What I'm saying if we had to do it for Kevin Spacey.

We can't rap for Kevin Spacey no more about Chevy. Chevy Chase, Kevin Spacey, Chevron Chase. You got to walk it back. He can't be.

He can't be a great white.

Y' all made me walk Hulk Hogan back. You gotta walk Chevy Chase back.

And it's such a weird.

These be praising some.

Not praising, not praising.

Hold on.

Y' all have a segment of calling white people great.

Oh no, no, no. Yes.

All right, so shut up then. Ain't nobody praising none of these fucking.

Nah. But I take it back once I find out they bad. Except for Post Malone.

And it's such a white man thing to do.

Post Malone bullshit.

I mean he said it before, but I mean he was young. Listen, I mean, listen.

It's such a white man thing to do to be like, oh, me and Richard Pryor used to. We used to. I used to call him.

So it ain't no big deal.

Yeah, it's such a. Because it's like the things that Richard Brier had to do to get along in Hollywood. I bet you he did play games like that. If. If deep down inside he hated your ass, in that exchange, you would never know what that black man had to do to get to where he was. But it's just such a white guy thing to say. Well, Richard park let me call him a. Like, who gives a.

That was Richard P. Did dead and.

Going, yeah, and I don't give a.

What Richard let you do. Y' all can sit over there and. Kiki, you can't call me. No, that don't mean I gotta accept it because Richard accepted it.

Pistol whip the out of Jason talking about chase your ass with a Chevy. He wasn't that great. Yeah, yeah. Let's see. What else? What else? What else would I feel like this thumbnails.

Who's suing this man? Can we talk about that? I want to know.

Will Smith. Will Smith is being sued by someone he used to work with.

Former violinist. A former employee of his.

A violinist.

A violinist.

No, no, go ahead. Y' all good.

I know her.

It's not a her.

Damn.

Nobody nowhere believe that you know the violinist. You ever seen a violin?

Oh, it could be a Philly thing.

I figured this little random. I figured out how to trick the viewers when y' all talk about sports. I just listen to what one of y' all mumble, and then I'll be like, yeah, exactly. 83, bro. 83 points. That was crazy. And it makes people think. I know what the Going on.

Will Smith has been sued by professional violinist Brian King Joseph. He's a touring violinist and America's Got Talent finalist. He claims that Smith and his management company, Tray Ball Studios. Management. There's a joke there. I'm gonna let it go. Engaged in.

I thought you were Joe. That's the real name of the Trey ball.

That's the name of it. After the son his son named Trey.

His son named Trey.

Whose son is named Trey?

Will's son named Trey.

What?

Will Smith son is named Trey.

He got the one that's Jada's, the other lady. But a tray ball is what it sound like a bag of coke?

No. What the is a tray ball?

I want to know the joke.

Yeah.

Joseph claims that Smith and his management company, Tray Ball Studios management engaged in sexual harassment, predatory behavior, wrong. Wrongful termination and retaliation. He says that he said they was grooming them. Yeah, they were. He said he's. Will Smith has made inappropriate personal remarks such as, you and I have a special connection that I don't have with Anyone else?

Wait, that's bad.

I hate to.

That's bad to say.

I mean, it makes sense what he's saying, but go ahead.

I hate the victim blame. But does that context what you say?

Yes. I mean, that's the picture.

Listen, I'm not a victim blamer. And here at the Joe Bun Podcast, we do not victim blame. No, but you can't trust nothing that wear color contacts.

You know what?

Green gray eyes. He's a liar.

I'm letting you get this off. Something I've noticed up here. When males come forward to say, yo, some went on. We get. We drop them to the ringer. And when women come. Come forward, we're very delicate and sensitive to the matter at hand.

Not me.

And it's something that I want to change about how we deliver things.

You do know the why.

But not today. Something I want to get better at.

We gonna work on it, but not right now.

First of all, let me tell you what we think. This is him right here.

It's a couple things, though. The fact that he's been on television already, the fact that he funny looking, it does matter. He got a little funny.

This pulled up a picture, homeboy. And now we profiling him.

Color contacts to match. We don't trust it. Teal dreads with contacts to match them shits.

I don't half blonde.

Have two damn ombre dreads with contacts to match it. I don't believe it.

And y' all doing all that? He got a violin. What the hell are y' all talking about? We have to get that deep. Hey, how many people you. Go ahead. Go ahead.

He's been on America's Got Talent.

That's the other one. That's.

That gives you that you want to be famous. You searching to get some fame. You know what I mean?

So there's a hotel room incident that they. That he's listing here.

Says it occurs free will. Yo.

It occurs in March 2025 in Vegas. During the tour, Joseph alleges someone entered his hotel room without permission. It was booked by Will Smith's team. Inside, he claims he found a handwritten note addressed to him, saying, brian, I'll be back. Just us. Signed Stone F. Along with personal items and a bottle of HIV medication in another person's name.

Oh, shit.

Well, that's. That's pretty smooth.

What?

What is smooth about that?

What are you talking about? Yo, this is all for entertainment purposes, of course. Of course. I don't know what's real or what's not or who needs a prayer Or a hug and who don't? I'm saying I booked you a room. I left a little handwritten note that said romantic laid on just us. And I just never let me not say that but somebody got some crack. Somebody just in case just took the HR Be mad if I just. Paint the picture if you. If some. If somebody just popped in this crushing my system right now about to go crazy. I'm taking the dick pill and my HIV med back. Mona, wake the up in here. We about to have a night Vegas my. Hey, put that violin up, boy. Hey, you ain't gonna need that tonight. You the violin. I'm putting you right over my shoulder. Oh my God. When I come back trying to tell him in the note. Yo, when I get back, we gonna get the fiddling. That's what I'm saying.

This said just us.

Take your shower now. Just us me. Yo take this shower now.

We'll prep for you too.

Yeah, soap, soap it up. Smell like some aromatherapy when I. When I walk in.

And then like bro, the pole pie should be over once Joe said I put you over my shoulder. You going too far with the head.

So dude said he I just know how I would be if I back in the day. It wasn't no HIV meds. So now what? Wait, you could live.

Hey you.

I'm coming back to this room. Holy. Give a little bit of kick tonight later.

Give a little bit to kick in.

Take it now and have that teal little braid.

Leave that to the front.

Hey, leave that in tonight. If this really happened, then this is horrible.

But it doesn't sound believable. Finish. It don't sound believable.

All right, so then it says he reported this incident. He reported this to hotel staff, local police on the non emergency line and Smith's tour management. And then he was fired right after that. Days later, he was terminated from the tour. Saying that they're moving in another direction. Even though they never hired another violinist.

Dumbass.

He made a job for you.

You.

That doesn't.

Doesn't sound like it benefits you. They didn't need no violinist.

He was only there for one thing. Done, dummy. You never heard Summertime you that viola get jiggy with it. It ain't one in Miami. It ain't. Parents just don't understand. Oh my Lord.

Yo said that y' all still read he was deliberately grooming and priming Mr. Joseph for further sexual exploitation. You can't prove that. Yo, but I was being nice to you, right?

See how you and that's Why I don't with you?

Amongst many reasons. But go ahead, keep going.

You can't your violinist the same way you can't the chef. So don't change up the rules now when it's gay play who said ain't.

Nobody say nothing about you?

Because I don't hear you saying yo.

He young make mistakes.

Imagine what I say what I was doing.

You can't your violinist my.

Yes, he could. If the violinist was down to him back. What you talking about?

That violinist would definitely be down.

And you're wrong. Even if it's consensual. I learned this on the morning show. Well, I didn't learn this on the morning show actually. But if it's consistent central and you work for me.

Still not right.

The risk ain't worth it.

It's wrong, homeboy. Hey, what did you think you'd been. Oh, man. Your free will, man. I don't think will did none of this. I don't know. I don't have no facts. Let's leave this to the experts to actually investigate and be mature and responsible. That's not what I sit on this white couch.

We're not being mature.

I don't sit on this white couch to be mature and responsible. So glad my little sister's not here no more. Oh my God. That's when I realized how this pod was not for kids.

No, it's not very much when you.

Bring a family member up in. See, that's why I don't like that.

Start yelling about prostitution and it's a lie.

Cover your ears, Jimmy.

Anyway, the violinist that sound, it doesn't sound.

Now watch Stepon Diggs try to go get him a violin. A violinist.

It don't sound believable. And it sound hard to prove. Cuz. How can you prove who wrote the note?

That part.

Yeah.

And the Prep has somebody else name on it.

I would have got a nigga that played some Kenny G on the mother. When I take my HIV meds, I want to hear Kenny G. Not me, cuz. I don't. I'm not God willing knock on and you.

You think the was trying to be funny and not say will name cuz he could have got sued.

What the js?

No, I think that if that were to be the case, I don't think.

It would be insinuating.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what he was doing. If somebody of that in that.

That's crazy.

In that rarefied air. He's not walking around with their name on that type of bottle. I don't know that that's what he was implying. But when I read it, it came off. It came off.

I don't.

I mean, that name would draw the attention. But again, if this is Will's tour, the company, it could have been somebody else. This happened on y' all watch. I reported it to y'.

All.

I went through the. Let's say it wasn't Will. He trying to say. Well, it was just another on the tour. I went through the. Yo, I ain't want to with this. I reported this.

And you.

Because y' all fired me, told my. Right after that, we go another direct. I' ma sue y' all for that right. It ain't gotta have nothing to do with Will. But it's still your tour, your country, your company. You know how you include all the names in the lawsuit? You go all the way up the line.

I wasn't listening to y' all because I was busy being immature. But did he say that they did something or.

No, no. Said they were grooming him for future.

What's this name they was prepared to get. Let's get him the fuck out of here. Hey, pack that violin. Get the out of here. You ain't. You ain't even sucking no dick.

Loser.

Brian Joseph.

They're grooming. I just grooming you.

And you ain't never for future exploitation. Yeah, yeah.

You ain't got no dog, homeboy. Hey, Cam up right here. But he. Will didn't want you. That was a figment of your imagination. Is you talking about. You know. You know, you talking to. Look at you. You think you could bag Will Smith while his wife is. You think Will Smith. You think Jada Pinkett get to have August Alsina and Will Smith gotta get you like. Let's keep it a big.

Why some.

Some of these we just. Too much lies. Stop it. My stop. Just take your violin and go. Go to the Jacob Javits play a little too soon. The train station or something. Put a hat in front of you or something. Hey, you on the train. The train. Hey. MTA in New York. New York business. This is a New York, New Jersey. Cards. No more cards.

Really?

They got some new preventative way to.

They got the tap.

Okay. No. Yes. And they also have these new doors that's supposed to stop people from hopping the turnstile.

Homeboy walking up to the door, dancing. Went right through that.

Like it wasn't okay. Well, everybody can dance. And I saw a father and daughter. A father with his daughter on the news that's now suing mta because he. He went through it and it closed the door.

Broke her whole face up.

You supposed to let her go first, dumbass.

That is true.

You don't walk behind your fucking separate from your kid like that. That's so stupid. This running from the train to catch it. Come on, baby. You better hurry up.

No, he didn't.

No, you're right. Cause that's where the violent be, right in the train. I can't believe this. Tried to put that on Woods. Now I got mad thinking about it.

When I looked at.

I said something crazy. I said something bad again.

When I read it, I thought it was.

Get him the out of here. Pack him up. Back it. Back him in that instrument up.

Both.

Both instruments. Oh my God.

I don't get how you can move.

That's funny. You should put that. That should be a thread. Let's see, let's see, let's see. What else? What else? What else is going on out there? Oh, this is unfortunate. Tommy Lee. Tommy Lee's daughter.

Ah, yeah.

Who said Tommy Lee's daughter? Yeah, that's bad. That's bad, it's bad.

They got any. Any more information yet?

Not at all.

N. They're trying to put drug usage and all types of up.

Rest in peace.

Rest in peace.

Prayers up to the family.

No. Super, super, super, super.

Yo, did y' all see this ain't about nothing but. So apparently a rumor had got started that they. They was having fireworks over by the Brooklyn Bridge.

Okay.

So like thousands of went there for New Year's. And when the countdown happened, nothing happened. Oh, niggas was out there for hours trying to get a good. You know how you go in there early, get a good spot. So they out there bundled up little. Probably had the diaper and the pad on and to get them a good spot to catch these fireworks. And they recording the countdown. Three, two, one. And everybody just standing there looking around. Stood there for a few minutes. They just had to walk the off.

Damn.

Froze your ass off. And I was like, you know what? Good for y'.

All.

Yeah, good for y'.

All.

Cuz it was brick on it.

That was different that night.

Disrespectful. Cold. No. Another reason I was in the house. Yeah, that. It wasn't just cold. It was windy as it was. Yeah, that wind is. That wind is different.

Colder than the hook.

Is hard. Always want to go see some fireworks somewhere.

I like them.

You like fireworks?

Yeah. I asked somebody that was coming to my house for like the party, can you bring some. His exact response Is my phone glitching or did you just ask me for fireworks? Like, fuck off, bitch. Like, what's wrong with us doing our own fireworks? People are so corny.

Also, before we move on, Tommy Lee's daughter, Tommy Lee Jones's daughter was named Victoria, 34 years old. Yes. Found in hotel San Francisco. We didn't say her name.

So I just want rest in peace the families.

Let's see what else. What else? I do see this Business Insider report going around that's talking about how broke Floyd Mayweather is. I. I've read it. It. It sounds like a hit piece to me. Like I don't all the way believe everything in it. So I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not going to get to it. Huh.

I said I read some of that. I mean, for a minute though. Yeah, it's been rumored for a minute. But he might still have assets though. They just. He might still have his assets.

It's been going around for a minute that he was.

That he was. Yeah. Yeah. But niggas were saying it for damn near a decade. He. His lifestyle out from my perspective hasn't changed. And he talks about a bunch of shit that he's done. Supposedly he's huge in the New York real estate scene and he bought a bunch of shit. Now, I don't know how that's. I don't know. Yeah, but then it came out. It was other shit saying that that wasn't necessarily all the way true. Who knows. But he came out and he was like, listen, all my jets, everything, everything I own is paid for. So if that is the case, you know, he was doing fleets of vehicles, jets, houses in Miami, Vegas, all that type of shit. And if that's the case, then I still. I'm not necessarily broke. But it has been said that he has very high spending habits and if. If the money's not coming, it should as hard to sustain.

Yeah.

Plus an entourage, take care of a lot of people. All that can can catch up to you. I agree. If he say I don't. Don't appear to be looking no different.

Also that dad and daughter not to go back that's suing them to. They only sue him for 200 grand. Couldn't better than me. Word. I'd have lit him to your head, boy. And left with a violinist. That's part of the suit. I can't believe that. Tried to put that on Will Smith. If you don't get the out of here. What. What happened, mon? You smell something? You smell something cooking?

I don't smell something cooking. That's the problem.

What's going on on it's Friday.

Let's revisit the conversation after three weeks of him.

So how many weeks you going to do it then? You at one now. You said it's once a week.

Next week I'm definitely this work like a crazy man.

He picking up violins.

Yo. When I wake up out the bed at 2 2am 2:30 in the morning and grab my phone in the dark and walk to the bathroom.

You never know where you're gonna go with it.

I go sit sometimes. If I don't Got a. I sit there so long that just come out.

No, that's. That's.

That's. You sit there with the phone. You sit there with the phone just chilling your ass to be like. All right. Muscle memory. Yeah. That's like. When you don't gotta pee and you leave. The force ain't running if you just stand by joint. You go up in pee, you gonna pee.

Listen, that might be old that you. You don't have to do to. Eventually you do just cause you sitting there, bro.

I don't know what you. I'm old then.

Yeah. We don't talk about. Yes. What else, stupid. We talked about violence. We didn't talk about. We ain't talking about. Oh, man. And then when I tried to talk about something serious.

PAC said what to do.

Legal weed in New York has surpassed $2.5 billion dollars easy.

They knew that was fam.

They got weed easy. When they said that on the news, I was like, wait, hold. I had to rewind my.

They had. You think that Vending machines in the gas stations.

Two and a half billion dollars.

Yeah.

Did you hear what I said? Weed vending machines in gas stations. I've seen them. You could buy, whether it be flour, pre rolls, edibles.

I want you to get gas from a different place. No, no, no, no, no.

This was out there. No, this was one of them type of areas, B. This was not. This was not. That ain't in the hood. Because they're gonna steal the vending machine.

And the fact that you can't put.

That in the hood.

There are still people. Americans stuck in prison for selling marijuana. That's terrible.

It's insane. It's crazy. Terrible, crazy.

Go ahead.

Yeah, I'm listening.

We're just about.

I'm not saying I don't have nothing to say. I don't know why you're making his face. I. I've already accepted that with you and Mark here, we got to be freedom fighters sometimes, period. So I get it. I don't have nothing to say. Hey, you is locked up for weed. Freedom free you. Free them.

We are revolutionary.

How much we did.

That'S locked up for a little bit of weed?

No, it matters.

There's no amount where you should do that much time. It's marijuana.

Wait, how much time?

20 years and 25.

Oh, no, I agree with that. That. Yeah. 20 years. No. Come home, free them. Yeah, but I still want to know how much weed you have.

Let's say 50 to 100 pounds. What do you think? 100 pounds of marijuana. What kind of time you think you should do for that? Because I think 100 pounds of marijuana you should do probation in the halfway house. That's right.

Oh, you high.

It's weed. We sell it at Rite Aid.

My, what state. What state did you get caught with £100?

Let's see.

Some states you are gone to November. Like, bye, bye. A hundred pounds of weed. My they. You was getting 20 years in some of these things. How much you again? Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Commonwealth. Them is sending you up, up.

Mona don't sell no weed while you work with people.

I don't sell weed. I never sold.

That's what you heard.

Yeah, I got it.

You can hear it.

I see what's going on. She said £100. You get probation in the podcast. Let's slow it down.

He said probation.

Free them. Free them. Free them for sure. What else? What else? What else? What else? What else, man, I need to work on my freedom. Yeah.

You don't sound like you mean it.

There's no enthusiasm in it.

Yeah, I need to work on that. I just heard on the playback, that.

Was like, you like.

Like you just saying.

I say it like, long as I'm free, I'm say it like, that's up. You got to say it like. You can tell I ain't spend no time in no jail. For real. Oh, my God. Next time. Next part I'm working on, come back. Y' all have any thoughts on them saying that they're thinking about charging the driver in the Anthony Joshua?

I think he has been charged.

He has been charged.

Yeah, it was a bunch of.

What they charged him with vehicle manslaughter.

Yeah, I. I don't think he had a license. It was. It was.

See, you go ahead and playing around behind them cars without your paperwork straight and your license straight without the right blood alcohol Level all that.

All that was. I was about to say, was he intoxicated?

No, I don't think so.

Blew out.

So why charge him with the license? That's.

Yeah. Tire blew out. My. It's different, bro.

Sometimes I feel like, like I know we have law. It's law.

He faces. He faces multiple criminal counts including causing death by dangerous driving, reckless and negligent driving, driving without due care, and driving without a valid driver's license.

Yeah, like what the.

They was in Nigeria, bro.

Yeah, but you got to know the losses that you at.

Yeah, but if. If the tire blew out, as Corey saying, I don't know if. If that is legit, then I'm not necessarily recklessly driving. If the tire blows out and you lose control of the car, that's a whole different ball game, bro.

Getting charged with something. I think I understand what you're saying. If that's true, I think he'll beat some of that. But some of that gotta stick.

Driving with no license. They also suggested speeding and an overtake attempt were to blame for the crash. But the state's police commissioner told ESPN that a bird. A bus tire on his vehicle caused him to lose control and swerve into the stationary truck that was parked alongside of the road.

Yeah.

I mean and if you ever been overseas, I don't know this particular road, but them roads be up.

You know what I'm saying?

We have for sure.

You try taking that to court. Yeah. With two people dead, the roads be up.

And not just that as. As someone that has worked in insurance claims just by. By reading that part alone. How fat. I mean there's other things that got to come into play now. How fast were you going? What's the speed limit on that road? And then once you also say that this person doesn't have a valid driver's license, they gonna attack all that on. Because you. Because at the beginning it's going to be you shouldn't have been behind the wheel. And if you were not. If you weren't behind the wheel, we. We don't have this. We don't have this conversation.

Now when I thought about too off of the Anthony Joshua stuff for a second ice. You were a truck driver. Yes. You wasn't in happy ending spots all over the world. No.

Have you ever gotten.

All right. No. I only did local driving the truck. Those, those drivers that do that, that are usually over the road drivers who are going for weeks at a time. You're away from home, you got to hit the truck stops. I was a Local driver.

Oh yeah.

So I come home every day.

Got it.

I know some local drivers still got a lot lizards though.

I mean that's them that driving them. If you go in like across state line something, you got to go 8, 8, 10 hours on the road. I was local driving. I'm home in four or five hours.

I wouldn't mind me and my lizard myself.

Yes you would. Yes, you would.

Get me a lot lizard for the night.

You see what some of that look like?

Go ahead, Joe, pass it to Joe. Pass it to jail. I mean, I don't know, I feel like. I don't know. In your, in your field, it's a lot of, you know, a lot of them drivers on meth and they lie lizards. I know you're different, bro.

I. I'm telling you, I. I think I said this up here when I. When I was in school. School, like the CDL school, whatever. There was this one dude, weird little white dude. And all he kept saying was lot lizard. Like even while we in the truck with the instructor. He like, yo, where the lot lizards be? Where the lot lizards be? Like, yo, my man. That's how I first heard him. What the is a lot lizard? You don't know them. The girls that walk around, they'll.

You look at Israel to get a truck. Never is ready to drive somewhere and get this popping.

And I follow a lot lizard. That's not that bad. She a little chubby.

You follow her a lot?

How you know she a lot?

Because she post about sex work. I follow a lot of sex workers. Yeah, she post.

You might know more than us.

She post about her sex work, she post about her prices, she post about her outfit, she post about the drunk. Like how boring it is.

Cuz she be at the truck stops. Yeah, she be like.

And she cut. Damn.

No, I'm saying you said know if she on threads.

You said she posts about the prices. So I. I think that's intriguing.

You know, it's a bit intriguing.

It's intriguing.

That's crazy.

My guy.

You got another apartment somewhere? I'm a bonus. Now I know why he won't.

I follow a lot of prostitutes though. Well, not with sex workers. Excuse me. That's the appropriate term in 2026, fellas.

My, my, my final. Is it a Mona before we leave this. Is there a difference to you between prostitutes and escorts?

No. The P and E, it's all the same thing. You're selling in the ass and mouth.

No.

Okay.

I think at the end of the.

Day, sometimes you can A person might. A person might book an escort for just a date or just a vibe. And with prostitutes, you kind of assume that they're only being booked for sex. But I know girls that are simple and plain prostitutes that sometimes catch dates that just need somebody around them or they want to get high with them or whatever. But I think escort is just a fancy attorney. Upper echelon prostitutes, same thing. I'm still in ass and mouth three holes. That's it. You know, there's a mascara sitting high up on that hill like they doing any better.

And it's like you said, you don't see a difference, but then named a difference that you see so.

Because that's not. It's still.

No, it ain't.

Oh, man.

See, my, my, my difference was you can hire an escort that won't have sex. You can hire an escort to go to the Met gala or to a black tie fair with you because you're single and. And you just need somebody to accompany you. But sex is not a part of that.

Can I ask you a question? If we hire. Exactly. If we did hire escort. Right y'. All And I booked her just for this moment. Right. And as I'm getting saucy at my reunion from the Ivy League school, I want some head. I could pay this to suck it. She's going to suck it. So what do we. That's what I'm saying. She's going to take the money. It's just you booked for. No, that's what I don't see the difference is the same thing.

I don't. I don't know nothing to.

It's like in that purchases.

Yeah, like you want to upgrade.

Upgrade your services at any time. Trust me, baby girl gonna take that paper.

You might be right. It's not my field. But from what I understood, it ain't my field either. No, from what I understood, All Escorts wasn't necessarily. Wasn't wasn't about sex work. That's what I had heard in the past.

Yeah. If it's not your field, then don't even worry about it.

I know they weren't. With the sex work. You plowed the field. I mean, it's cool.

All right, my final question for you, Ice.

Why you a answer? Give your opinion.

I said same. When. When you said there's a difference. I said same. I agree.

That was the question.

My final question for you. I saw a clip of a comedian talking about his experience getting a vasectomy. And. And his joke was, you know, the vasectomy wasn't the problem. The problem was right before the vasectomy, homeboy had to come in there and say he had to clean up the spot. So he did a whole bit about Duke coming in while he's in the waiting room to clean him up before the vasectomy. So I never thought of that. Clean up the area?

His penis, the grundle.

Yeah, because he was like, I could clean it. But he was like, no, we talking about a professional grade cleaning. Which made me want to say, did.

They have to do that to me? Yeah, no, my. Like, he said he could clean. I keep. Again, I'm.

I'm bald.

That's my.

So they didn't have to. There was nothing to clean.

Nothing to clean. Because he bald. Giving bald dick.

I'm not looking, ma'. Am. I told that whole process, even though. Oh, no, no. I thought you. When you say clean up the area, I'm thinking, you mean they had to shave them? No, because that's what they have. They want you again. If it's any type of surgery, they gonna shave you. Unless you're already bald. Yeah. So that's what I thought you was talking about. Of course they're gonna prep your area anytime they do any surgery. So the came in the rub alcohol.

That's what I'm asking. The nurse did that. The dude. Was it a dude? Nurse don't.

No, no, that was a girl. That was a girl. I'm gonna keep it a buck with her.

Did you request that?

No, I didn't request it, but we making jokes. It's more pressure if it's the girl. Cause you want, you want, you want shrink, shrink. I don't care. You want shrink, shrink. I don't care. Shrink, shrink, shrink, shrink, shrink. Tammy done seen a nigga with a little meat before she come in like, all right, I gotta get you right now, Jonathan. Touching on my meat, bro. I'm good. Well, he cutting on your meat. He cutting on your balls. No, you not. You don't get put to sleep with a vasectomy.

No, you're not.

Yeah, I went right home. That lasted 15 minutes.

Was it sore?

Not at first, no. Then like I want to say, maybe the next day, it just felt like I caught crabs. I caught a little. A little like a cramp.

Almost like a cramp.

Yeah, but that's it. They gave you an ice pack, your whole ice pack on there if you feel any type of soreness, Take out Tylenol if you feel pain. But after that, I was from.

Okay, all right, that's it. That's all I got for you. I do have a part of the show for y'.

All.

I do have a part of the show for y'.

All.

Somebody. Somebody needs our help. This person's name is Corey. No, me. Oh, Cory know him? Is here.

Oh, yeah. So it's ish man's name.

Yeah. This person says, am I a bad friend?

Probably. Usually you have to start off right there. Yeah, probably.

Okay. During the pandemic, my mom's basement was the hangout spot. Sure, she had her own bar and we could go there. And we would go there every weekend with friends to party during troubling times.

Okay.

I had invited my friend from the streets over. He says that that's important. Later we put time in on the streets together. So we locked in. I had a bottle of Henny White from a plug. Who delivered alcohol to you on the spot. With everything shut down at the time. That was a good boy. That was a good time. We were drinking and telling old war stories. The usual. He then shared with me. He's been screwing my best friend. My best friend that I knew since elementary schools. Baby mom slash girlfriend. He was drunk while sharing that, but I wasn't. I remembered days went by and I've been on the phone with my best friend daily like usual. Been around him and his kids and even her as usual to the point I had to stop because I felt fake holding this information and still calling him my brother. One day he called me and I came clean and explained why I've been avoiding him and that I was told information that I didn't ask for about his BM cheating on him with a friend of mine who's an associate of his as well. Long story short, he ended up breaking up with her.

She hates me for break for breaking up her family. And my street friend at the time wanted to fight me, which got resolved with the quickness. Lol. I see what you did there. I see what you're saying with the resolve, with the quickness. But me and my best friend's relationship hasn't been the same. I feel like I did him a solid. I showed my loyalty to him in that situation enough to go against my quote unquote, quote street friend. For him, I feel like we should be closer than we are now. We don't talk at all. Am I wrong? And should I have just minded my business to keep our relationship how it was? Please. Really good question.

That gets really tricky.

Please, please guys. With my group of friends, we asked each other for the most part, like My core group of girlfriends. Because what we figured out was some women almost feel like it's disloyal if you don't tell them, right? So in my friend group, I used to say exactly like this. I don't care if you see my nigga on Broad street with a dick in his mouth. Don't call me about that shit. I just don't want to hear that. You know what I mean? Like, me personally, I feel like if it was meant for me to know would come across my desk. Like, I feel like I've seen women almost, like, get an inkling that their friends, niggas cheating and kind of investigate like that's they nigga. You know what I mean? It's like, I don't need that from you. I'm not gonna be looking at yours, you know, so. But that's a very personal thing. I have a close friend that I know for a fact. Not only if I didn't tell her, would she be pissed. Like, she would hold that against me. Like, that would be a thing. It's like, coming up after.

Because I was always very protective of my friends and all that. So when I was younger, that's something that I would do, and I never understood why it would backfire. Often you end up not this girlfriend no more. She stayed, stays with him. And out of sheer embarrassment of what you know, that will cut you off.

Yeah.

Or she'll tell him. And now Thanksgiving is so weird. So it's like, me personally, I just think a rule of thumb is to mind your business unless you know that that's what they expect for you as a friend. Simple.

One thing you said. You said it's great advice.

You don't.

You don't want. You wouldn't want nobody to tell you, because if it's meant for you to know, you'll find out. It'll come across your desk. But what if them telling you is how you find out?

I don't care.

You still. You know what I'm saying?

Right? But that's the answer. I don't care.

Okay.

Yeah. Thank you.

And. And homeboy's case. I don't think you're a bad friend. I think you did like you said you had. You showed your loyalty. I would want to know who, like what? I know this is your street friend, but how many years you got here? Like, how close are y' all versus.

Yeah, that's what's tricky. You're telling one friend on another friend, right? That's tough. That's tough.

Like, where's your relationship lie? Who's your relationship stronger with? Because that would be important to me.

Yeah, that's how you make a decision.

If one of my friends is one of my other friends, baby moms, I'm staying the out of it.

Period. It's too. It's too messy.

Yeah, go another way. But then they find out and you knew. And now I'm looking at you funny because you knew. You've been around. You've been in the crib. You've been around her and our kid. And you just smiled here and. And you knew this was going on. I can't call you my brother.

How you gonna mind your. He was trying to mind his business. He distanced himself and went about his daily routine and felt like a phony.

Ass dude, but then distanced himself and then even that. All right, I feel bad. I can't be around your girl and your kid and all of this, knowing what I know. So let me distance myself. And now that turned into a thing like, he tried every way to not have this blow up.

Mona, hit it on the head. Unless you have know that your friend wants to know the general rule of thumb. And this is my business, but we.

Don'T as friends sometimes sit around and have conversations in hypothetical terms. Like, yo, would you want to know what's. What's our rule? Yo, you see my shorty at the movies with Roscoe? You gonna tell like, we don't have that hypothetical conversation. So you would think that that's why I listen.

That's again I say, like I always say, it's important to know your friends facts. Yeah, bro, we don't have to have that talk. Yo, we don't have to have that talk. There's some friends I know are gonna wanna know that information immediately. Some not so much. You might drive em off a bridge.

True.

So for the one that wants to know and you go tell and now all of a sudden. Cause it really be a lot of shame and embarrassment that comes in. Yo, dawg, your chick was doing. And then you know the street nigga. So the street might have gave you information like, yo, my we be. You know what I'm saying? And now you feel stupid. That is a shot to your manhood.

Yeah, yeah. It's just tough for us two people. You both with them.

You with both of them.

I'm staying if we ain't super fly. All right, I'm on my business. But if we. You my man, man. I'm right. Yeah, same.

I. I think that mental just as much as Females do. Like, when I think about it, will tell they homie fast, and girls might even, like, foot around it or whatever. But a man is telling on you. Anytime I've ever been seen by one of my friends, I got told on. Like a look at you. Like, oh, word. You in the mall with this.

I'm calling from the mall. Yeah, and I think that's corny. Like, that ain't corny.

I just think it's weird.

That's her brother.

Why do you. Why do you think that's corny or weird?

Because I feel like he's not leaving. I've been cheating on this the whole.

Time, so watch this.

No, no, no, no, no.

This not going nowhere. Like, what are we doing?

Hold up. Once I tell once I. Once I let the know the first time, and he keep stay with you, I'm out. I'm not telling no more. I'm out and. Cause now you just bring it. You bringing drama and. And problems to their household. You know what I'm saying? Like, yo, dog, if he gonna stay with the cheater, then I'm gonna let them rock and be happy in their glory. But one. You know what I'm saying? The initial time, I'm telling, yo, I'm in the movie. She here now you want me bring the phone to her?

Oh, my God.

Like, what, nigga?

This is my man's way to get a head butt. You walk up to me. Oh, Tyrone want you. Oh, we ready wrestling this motherfucker now. We about to fight. Cause you think I'm picking this phone up and saying, hello, I'm gonna you up ish out there grabbing the yellow hoodie. We about to wrestle.

Yo, I remember I had some. Something similar to that happen with. And the homie was like, yo, don't even say nothing to her until I'm around. Because I wanted a lot. Like, I would love for her to lie and say xyz. Like, I saw it. I'm telling you what's going on. You just didn't know. And I appreciate that information. Of course, I couldn't wait.

She.

He telling the truth. Clipped it immediately. Oh, word.

She.

She felt. Yeah, she fessed up. She's like, yo, sure, yeah, loser. Yeah, he's telling. He telling the truth.

These girls. The girls are getting creative. I seen, I saw. Do y' all see the game that. That people playing on Tik Tok, where it's four squares, it's eight squares, and you gotta say fog, frog call. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They make you say the word frog on Meat or something, right? Frog.

Log. Frog. Like you gotta do it on beat. Yeah. I don't know how these people are customizing these things because I never played the game, but this girl made a husband play it.

What you got himself crazy his side piece thing?

No, by the third screen it was. I went in your phone. Oh, this is what I found. Like, it was. It was. Yeah, he turned around. It was.

It was girls getting creative, thinking each word that come out his mouth. Yeah. I don't know. I think that if you're in a situation and it works for you, I think we fuck up when we like compare. It's like you have a friend that's getting cheated on, but it's really. It works for them. Like it doesn't bother them. You know what I mean?

It's like it works for them.

It work.

I'm telling you.

Some people had those kind of dynamics and it's like when nobody know everything's straight. Once get to getting in it or you get to take another few opinions or comparing your relationship to their relationship, then go left. Like I've been in situation where this know I'm cheating on him. He know what's going on, but he don't say nothing. Like we both delusional. I like you. I like you. You know? No, you might now here come this cousin with a story.

Don't know the rules, don't know how we got this.

You go yours and now react in a different way. Because now it's out there, people know. He fine. Long as he know.

Yeah.

And where you going with a violin? Your cousin is a violence.

In the mall, walking with the at a music case.

Oh, my God.

It's funny though. He asked for advice. It don't matter. He's still cut off no matter what we think.

Wrong.

He didn't do nothing wrong. Yeah, he didn't do anything wrong.

You ain't doing nothing wrong. But you're also not playing PlayStation over there no more.

But now see, in my opinion, if it's your man. No, but if it's your man, man, you need to pull up your man.

Yeah.

And after a little bit of time, I also want to know, how long ago did this happen? Because after a little bit of time, come back around. Yo, dog, you was right.

You gotta start having these queued up so we can ask questions. You always got questions. Yeah, these people.

How long did you know the street? Yo, some of this cocoa weed.

Was he a scammer or a drug dealer?

Yeah.

Did he bust his gun?

Yeah. Y' all be needing the facts to get to it.
