with no more interruptions here is the exclusive clip did you guys like donda
mark two i only watched like part of the music video, just like the highlights.
I don't understand.
First, I thought the set was fire.
Okay.
House, water, lit as fuck.
Okay.
What?
You didn't see it.
Shut up.
I did.
I was the first person to saw it.
What do you mean?
I bought a platform for you to know.
I was looking at the whole time while we were in here editing
Isn't that nice?
Must be nice huh?
Yeah it must be
But no I thought it was fire I thought visually it was sick
I didn't hear any of the songs
And I didn't hear any song that was new
I just heard all the old songs
No he had a couple new ones on there
I didn't even notice them
I didn't hear any clips from it nothing
And then the sound engineers apparently all got fired That's what people have been saying No, he had a couple new ones on there. I didn't even notice them. I didn't hear any clips from it, nothing.
And then the sound engineers apparently all got fired.
That's what people have been saying.
They should.
They should have.
They fucked it up.
Why?
They fucked up.
You look like Kanye, honestly.
When Kanye was standing there just fuming.
So heated, standing there through his fucking microphone.
That's what I look like every weekend when we're on the road.
Literally every weekend. Yeah.
Okay, so we thought visually it was very interesting obviously the performance wasn't incredible there
were some mic issues etc um what i'm curious about in terms of his team is like he just fires people
who rehires all the necessary people yeah i don't even understand like he's coming up with
these ideas right there's no way he knows how to like call all these different businesses and
execute said ideas running a stadium size show like that is like insane logistically so who's
really doing all this and who's taking his ideas and turning them into reality that's what i'm
curious about he has a chief of staff i know someone that was on that team like a chief of staff and then he's got like that's the creative director that's the
fashion person that's the touring person that's the designer what happens when he fires everybody
people waiting in wings i don't know and then does he call new people like i don't see him doing
anything outside of like thinking of creative stuff and then just kind of like spewing them
at people and then they go
actually make it happen yeah that's what i assume it is i'm really curious about those people that
can execute his vision well i think it's like you know how he's always name dropping big icons and
fashion and tech and all of this i'm sure he has this person that says get me the meetings with all
of those people on those teams and i think he's just building up all i mean he just
knows these folks like these like lighting designers that would do that show that was
stunning and there's people around him that i assume that just want to be around him yeah
like watching the kanye doc it's like bro this guy lifted his whole life i mean grant i don't
know what he's doing in chicago but like changed his whole life moved to new york just to follow
kanye around as like a nobody producer rapper person he knows all the virgil ablos like he you just know that he's he's got his finger there just
and anyone would be like yo i'll fucking take shit from connie for a month to just work with him
i'm just saying i'm very impressed with execution everybody's got ideas few people have good ideas
even fewer people have incredible ideas but executing ideas is hard and obviously it gets easier
as you become more famous right because you have the funds to do it but but that's what we saw on
the concert the execution of the audio side was and he does a lot of stuff rushed i don't think
this show was planned that far in advance like the tickets just went on sale the day before so it's like yeah that's funny um yeah so it's like if you're rushing a show in a fucking in
arena something's bound to go wrong i'm surprised it looked as good as it did yeah plus the live
stream component like live switching you have basically like a whole like tv production arm
that's like manning
all the cams and live streaming and switching everything to all the different platforms it
was on instagram it was on stemplayer.com it was on amazon music who was doing all the theaters
yeah he set up that company gonda is a creative agency he set up a creative agency for this reason
and then you start just adding these people planning this and he's spending
a ton of money i mean literally he outed one of the guys on instagram for spending too much spending
too much money that person was probably like topping his field running and shit ciao yeah
yeah he at the rate and pace that he's going he he's spending crazy amount of money so he's just
blowing crazy but he's not going into like contract negotiation
with these different vendors
and trying to fight for every penny.
Oh, let me try to get a deal.
There's no way.
We need this.
How much is it?
Sure.
Yeah.
Got you.
Okay, that makes a little bit more sense.
But I don't know,
maybe I'm alone in this,
but aren't you guys impressed
that like it can be done?
Yeah.
Like, I don't know, to me.
Yeah.
But he also just has the clout money
and like legacy just to
speak things into existence and they get done yeah and that's i think that's the biggest part
because without the clout no one's going to take that risk life and then go do it yeah yeah yeah
i mean we have a buddy of ours kid super who uh was telling me he went he was telling us that he
went to work with him for a couple weeks and like he said it was it was
that well he was a big fan of kanye i wonder if we can even share this yeah i'm sure we can
but he was like it was dope like he just like said hey go cook up some cool stuff
you have ideas come on hit me with ideas like it wasn't an actual structured
job but he also did say he fired the whole team while he was there oh wow yeah including the
person who's supposed to pay him oh wow yeah so he didn't get paid i was like did you get paid he's
like uh that guy got fired yeah wow and i'm sure he could hit up the new person or whatever it was
but like i don't know i'm just so fascinated with like who's running that just from building this
like all of us building this the organization and like the structure and that kind of stuff
that is the most foreign stuff for me like it's easy to get a bunch of us here and like work on
a group project that's easy that's fun then you start to grow it beyond the team and that gets
difficult just finding the right people hiring people like he got over this hump where he just
fires everybody yeah that's fucking
that's you're you're asking someone to commit their life change something like those people
he fired probably gave up everything yeah yeah so go work for him but he's got the cloud that
you can just call up someone and be like yo kanye west wants me to go to chicago to work on this
thing i'm gone but don't you care a little about them their families like i know they're just like
oh that's a different level of of
narcissism like where it's just like whatever it takes to get me to do my thing yeah and i don't
care like matter of fact if you fucked it up that's on you and all those people were trying
their best but like and they ultimately they fucked it up don't get me wrong i'm just saying
like oof yeah like those people that can do that like the people
that work for those corporations and they lay off 30 000 people on a monday yeah this guy the the
guy that did on zoom like however many people like 2 000 people are just like so well we're
terminating this whole department yeah and they're all just like looking at fucking max they can't
afford like fuck and peloton yeah yeah what happened with peloton they like laid off 2800 employees
and just gave them a free subscription yeah yeah you're gonna have some extra time i don't know if
it was just that but that was like a part of the package or whatever yo that's a i mean like we'll
get back to don in a second but like that's a tricky thing about peloton like anybody who's
used peloton acknowledges it's awesome like you used to work out Peloton. You still doing Peloton?
No, I actually sold my.
Interesting.
In solidarity with the working class.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know.
I thought it was phenomenal.
I think the organization of it, the classes of it, the motivation.
I mean, I'm fortunate enough where I get to like work out with a person.
Yeah.
But if I couldn't, like being able to have that access which is great it's one of those things where it's like this is a ceo
problem not a actual business problem and that's what the ceo is the one that came in and fired
folks yeah i don't know if it's a ceo problem i think it was it was hype so so many people bought
it early we're buying an overpriced piece of equipment like we know it's overpriced
and then eventually after having it a while it's like this is good it runs great but it
it's too expensive for what it is you can get an exercise bike attach an ipad to it and like
it's a fraction of the price well that's what they also offer like for me it wasn't really
the bikes it was the workout classes i would just put my phone up on a fraction of the price. Well, that's what they also offer. Like for me, it wasn't really the bikes.
It was the workout classes.
I would just put my phone up on a treadmill on the road and then do the whole class from the treadmill.
Yeah, that's like $40 a month for to have.
Yeah, those classes are what's added and more expensive and people might be financing the bike.
But actually, when they pitched and got their initial investment, they sold it not as a bike company.
got their initial investment they sold it not as a bike company it was literally one of the old spinning bikes with an ipad attached and says this is a multi-billion dollar content uh media company
and so that's what like the new pelotons the the screen turns around so it can be for the floor
exercise yeah i had that now the overpriced treadmill that andromos got eaten by that
doesn't make sense i don't know how many people are buying four thousand dollars no but even the
bike i had the bike that turned or I had the bike that turned.
It was $28 when I first got it.
Oh, you didn't buy the $60 Amazon piece that just lets you turn it on to version one?
No.
Loser.
I'm sorry.
That one didn't have Beyonce.
I'm not going to get that.
That's a good-ass point.
Come on, bro.
That's a good-ass point.
But a few months later, it was down to $1,900.
So the price of the bike kept dropping and now we're realizing
like oh it's not worth that much so now do you think it's possible that the value of the company
like many companies was inflated because of the pandemic absolutely and then they built their
business and expectations on that inflated on that inflated price yes so now we're seeing
a like regression to the mean,
like where the actual true value is for the company,
but they're freaking out like something's wrong.
And it's like, fam, you were never that lucrative.
Yeah.
Like maybe you would grow to that one day,
but of course people are going to go on Peloton
when they literally can't leave their house.
It's illegal to go to the gym.
Illegal to go to the gym.
And the second gyms open up,
you know we're going to want it extra.
We're back in the gym.
We're working out.
We're realizing how much these classes are great.
We're going to our trainer, et cetera.
That's going to cool off too.
Yeah.
So these gyms are popping now as well.
They're going to get that 30%.
They're going to get the 30% boost where the dip came for Peloton and these other maybe
like workout, other kind of like workout exercise apps, et cetera.
That's going gonna come back
down and then maybe peloton comes back up you're just not as high as as it was yeah maybe they
meet in the middle or something maybe a more honest like evaluation of what their product
and companies 100 because it's fucking like if you got bread it is fucking convenient to just
have that shit right there you have 30 minutes you can go in and know there's a 30 minute workout yeah like dude yeah it was convenient it's fire i loved it it just once
shit started opening up it's like like gym still better yeah it is better yeah being with a person
is 100 better but this convenience is valuable yeah yeah okay but on kanye you should watch the
doc yeah i gotta watch it i'm gonna watch It's a cool, like cultural moment like that.
He's like putting on all this shit,
like the STEM player,
the music video.
And then he has like the doc that's going to drop in like multiple parts.
I think over time,
like as the episodes drop,
there's going to be more things that are revealed that I think will like drive
convo and like eyeballs.
Yeah.
That I just think is like,
it will be an interesting moment to be experiencing in real time.
Okay. I'll make sure I watch it.
This is going to be his Jordan doc.
That big?
This is Hoop Dreams, though.
This is a different story.
Yeah, but it's different.
The story's different,
but I think it changes people's perception of Kanye.
Yeah, no, no, that's what I'm saying.
But go back.
In the way that Jordan did.
I mean...
I don't know if this was good for Jordan.
That's my point.
I don't know if it'll be good for Kanye.
Oh, it's really that honest?
The first episode's amazing, but it's like i could see it getting dark
but it is honest though in the sense that it's like yo this is a kid from chicago like this is
relationship with his mom like it feels vulnerable and if it continues to be that vulnerable then it
would reflect the truth of his character which is both good and bad yes so i think at at the end of
the day it will be good for him because people will understand
his outburst a little bit more yeah probably and i think the jordan doc was good for jordan because
he had a whole generation that didn't know how great he was yeah so even though we saw some
assholes sides of him it's like at the end of the day it was a overall plus i wonder if jordan and
maybe kanye are okay with that because they understand what it takes to be great. Yeah.
So they're like, yeah, this is the cost.
Yeah.
Well, you think you're just a sweetheart?
Like, I'm not a politician.
Yeah.
Right?
Like, they're going, I'm a basketball player.
I'm an entertainer.
In order to do this at the highest level, it requires sacrifices.
I'm not here to be liked by everybody.
Yeah.
Where a politician, something like that coming out, it would be absolutely devastating.
Yeah.
Jordan still has that drive in him. Like you said, all-star game he told magic like yeah lace it up
yeah you beat aids be me
i missed that line
100 do you know when this kanye doc ends because if it's this guy cootie that was following him
forever no when in his career journey no no no i don't because if it's ending guy cootie that was following him forever no when in his career journey no no no
i don't because if it's ending before he's even with the kardashians or before he went a little
kooky it's only gonna make him look spectacular yeah we don't know oh yeah if it's the glory days
of kanye that's the director is that guy cootie that's been with him since like yeah he's been
with late 90s early 2000s so that's all hoop dreams and that's all phenomenal everyone's gonna
be a fan of kanye it's just also excellent like in the way documentary filmmaking is like creating make me feel however the modern kanye
does not speak on this first episode this is not him commenting this is literally just voice over
and archival from the perspective of i mean he speaks a little and his the way he talks is so
different like did you notice that like he's talking like old kanye speaks yeah like yeah
exactly what do you mean by that he just sounds like old connie speaks yeah like yeah yeah exactly what
do you mean by that he just sounds like an 18 year old kid that grew up in chicago like he
sounds like he speaks with like a chicago dialect like he's speaking like like he it's interesting
because you see the influence of like living in chicago but also having like academic parents
yeah and like how he's trying to deal with that as like a person i don't know it's just really
interesting he also had a retainer in his mouth the whole time until the accident put a
fucking bar through his mouth.
Yeah.
Oh,
he had a retainer.
Yeah.
Before the accident.
Yeah.
You think that accident,
now that we know like the effects of CTE and that kind of stuff,
you think the accident has done something to his mental health?
I think it was a jaw break,
but did it break?
I mean,
to create enough force to crack your jaw your brain is
going to shake in your skull yeah if you're already predisposed to mental health issues
like having cte can perpetuate and like exacerbate that is that right i think so yeah if you're
predisposed to that type of thing like head trauma can because some people get a bunch of
get a bunch of head injuries and like the encephalopathy doesn't actually manifest the
same way i think also the death of his mother that we all i think you just made that shit up i think you just made that
encyclopedia or something like that that's that's what that's the end part that's the e
no yeah that's when your head turns to swiss cheese
that's not what cte stands for i thought. No. I thought it said chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
But what does it
actually mean?
Chinese terrorism.
Encephalopathy.
Encephalopathy.
That's what it
really stands for.
My bad.
Fucking sellout.
It makes sense.
Wait, what?
But yeah,
Kanye Dog is fire.
You should watch it.
Yeah, we always talk
about that with Antonio Brown.
We talk about those with these athletes.
I wonder if there's something happened.
I mean, that's like a huge accident we're talking about.
Yeah, they cover the next episode.
I don't actually know how bad it was.
Massive brain damage, probably.
