I'm all right. Come on, Parks, put a little 808 behind him. He's a little cap of y'all.
808 behind that might be all right, though.
You got a little cap of y'all for us?
Nah, that's cool, man.
Tell the people what you did in February.
Tell them what you did.
I was alive, thank God.
Praise, praise, praise be. Tell them what you just did 10 minutes earlier in February.
Okay, I mean, I could tell my true story, Tell them what you just did 10 minutes earlier in February. Okay.
I mean, I could tell my true story,
or you guys can tell the funnier side that you guys interpreted.
Always the funnier side.
Yeah, we always roll the funnies. And you could tell the funnier version.
You don't have to tell your truth.
That's true, too.
Yeah, that is a fact.
What was he talking about?
Okay, I take that back.
Maul said he needs to watch Dave,
and we've talked about the show Dave plenty of times.
And I said, oh, is it back for season two?
And then he said, no, Dave Chappelle is back.
I refer to Chappelle's show as Chappelle's show.
I don't refer to it as Dave's show.
The song does go Chappelle's show.
Which then I was met with,
how dare you say Dave Chappelle is little Dickie
in Black History Month?
Which is also fair.
The nerve of you.
It's only one Dave.
Honestly.
Honestly.
Some nerve.
Is this working?
Got some white soul for us today?
Some Little Dicky?
I don't, but it happened to me last night the white the white soul hit you
it happened that feeling that feeling that as a music lover there's no feeling like it it's like
your first time getting high it's that feeling you search for when a new song or a song you've
never heard does it for you hits your chords that's always nice
how often do you guys get that feeling in the year i had it with roll some mo lucky day uh
cpr summer her first record for me it normally comes at the discovery of an artist for me like when summer first dropped the artist that made cpr
i i went to try to find anything that she had put her voice on yeah immediately after i tried to get
people on the phone that knew her i didn't we think we thought summer walker was summer walker
we thought it was dramas we thought it was summer Summer Walker. Yeah. Like Summer, Summer Walker.
I remember our dumb asses like, wait, is this?
I'm like, Farron, if Summer Walker is doing this.
But it was new Summer Walker.
And CPR was one of those songs that did that.
So it happened to me last night on the fucking, you know, I'm playing, I talked about this.
When you play a song and then when that song goes off, the algorithms just start playing songs for you.
So that's what happened. and then when that song goes off, the algorithms just start playing songs for you. Mm-hmm.
So that's what happened.
The algorithm started just playing jams.
I was like, wait.
It doesn't happen to me that often.
Are we starting with slippers? I'd say a couple hours.
So I'm starting with a jam because
who is this girl, Tempest?
I feel like, yeah. I'm not him. Yeah, I know Tempest? I feel like, yeah.
I know Tempest.
You do, because I know her too,
but I maybe only had a joint from her.
We played some Tempest on this pod before.
We have, but different now.
Not this one?
Not this joint?
Different now.
It's different now that I've heard.
I've heard two songs from this person.
I'm saying this person not to be funny
because these new R&B people,
they come out like Division was a group who knew.
Like, these R&B people get crazy.
Six Black was slack, black, slack, slack.
I don't know.
Slack, black.
He was six slacks.
Yeah, he was black slacks for a little bit.
So now I'm starting with this.
Oh, my God.
Who is this woman?
Where is the air horn?
Giving you space.
Wanting me to be in your life
Knowing that my love's with your size Giving you space
Never been the one to do that Never wanna treat you like that
I gotta, ooh I know you want me now
I'm not the one right now
My love is done here
Keeping it straight right now
I'm on your way right now
I'm out your way
You were everything that I wanted
Till I got everything I wanted from you
Yo, yo, yo
That's nice
Just got a little SZA cadence
Yeah
That melody was my best SZA And I don't mean that in. Just got a little SZA cadence. Yeah.
That melody was SZA-esque.
And I don't mean that in a bad way at all. SZA's another one.
When I heard, I think that was Babylon was the song for SZA for me.
Yeah.
I needed to hear more from-
Around that era.
Fam, what the fuck is this girl saying?
Nah, she's talking about- Nice talking to you. I got everything I wanted right now. I'm out your way.
You want everything that I wanted.
I got everything I wanted from you.
Mic check, mic check.
One, two, one, two.
Everything that I wanted.
Where's the error where the rappers would just put the hot verse on the hot song
before it got to Billboard?
Sans Rick Ross. ross was the
only one that kept doing it broke your heart today mic check mic check one two one two hope
y'all feeling good out there we're the pod today i'm here to talk about everything and nothing at I have no idea what this girl is doing
So listen
So I hear this song in the middle of the night
And I immediately go to search this girl's name
Let me stop this
Because I hate when these R&B people do that
What?
Be awesome
Her name is a fucking rock band's name too
and a metal band
and a fucking
K-rock
that's why
Tempest
that's how we got
Sixlack
Tempest is the name
of mad rock
shit
so if this is
she has Tatiana Bello
next to it
it's Tempest
Tatiana Bello
god damn it
maybe I should
search that on
fucking
iTunes
she should have put a
letter upside down or something a lot of names were taken gotta get creative anyway listen my
point is not that that song is just so great by itself but the person that can do that right that
song and do this i want to hear more from him.
I'm just going to give him a little dose of this and then we can start our pod.
It was toxic, but it was fun.
I just thought it's been a while since we spoke about new artists,
new music.
Oh.
I know this song.
Yeah, me too.
But the person that can make this song like this
and that song like this.
Mac is on that album, right?

Surprise.
So we used to have a parking lot at Park's old spot.

A little different now.
And it's snow everywhere.
Parking spots are gone.
I've been getting right out front.
So I was like, I'll come whenever.

be a new way to do this they're taking away way too many great parking spots yeah do something

hydrants you took away mad parking spots with city bikes.

The restaurant huts are fucking destroying things.

Now I can't even park.
I'm sorry.
It was with Baisley.
You know how hard it is to parallel park with Baisley on my lap?
Screaming her fucking head off.
Look at white problems during Black History Month.
There's no parking.
That's what you white people
got to deal with.
I want him to let it breathe

I hear it in your parts.
I am oppressed.
I hear it in your voice.

Do you know what that's like?
All right.
To not get what you want?
No, I have no idea.
Because of social constructs?

Shout out to our first and last time listeners.
Shout out to the women that are listening.
Shout out to the people listening from work.
Shout out to all of you.
Shout out to the people going through a divorce right now.
Boy, it's tough.
Sure.
Sure, it's always tough.
Eh, my barber.
I never care until it affects me.
Yeah. I feel like there's probably been a lot of... I never care until it affects me. Yeah.
I feel like there's probably been a lot of it.
I never care about what is happening in your life
until it alters mine some way.
My barber was like, yo, man, next Friday, can't.
What impression was that?
Yeah, where is he from?
What region is he from?
I don't know.
Let's highlight it.
What region is he from?
No, I get mad at my barber
for going on vacation
for a few days.
Yo, I got to go see
my kids in Florida.
I haven't seen them
in six years.
So?
You got the fucking nerve
to go see your family?
Yeah.
You have to cut
my horrible hairline.
I say, yo, man,
what's going on next Friday?
He got into it.
Remember that thing
I was telling you?
Yeah, it's time.
When they say,
remember that thing
I was telling you about a year ago?
It's happening now, man.
It's going down,
splitting everything.
Shit that I had before she got there, man.
I just,
next week,
so I got into my lawyer,
the fees,
oh, it's getting crazy.
And I was like,
wait, so you can't do next Friday?
No.
No.
Yeah, she's getting half the razors.
You got to go re-up.
So when can you do it?
Oh, but at least he gives you that.
Y'all don't hear how inconsiderate that is.
But he's telling you before he leaves, though, right?
They can spill in the beans.
I feel like there's going to be a lot of divorces in the next couple months or year.
I'm just shocked.
I'm just shocked that he's-
Because people have been locked in their house with their significant other nonstop.
Noticing them.
That's how you chew?
That's the worst. That little shit. That's how you chew? That's the worst.
That's how you chew.
That's how you wash this.
I'm hanging up your shoes.
I can't do it anymore.
Yeah, y'all are stupid.
Just wash the glass after you use it.
It's mad simple.
I'm shocked your barber doesn't know everything about a divorce.
I feel like every barber's an expert in everything.
I'm shocked he didn't have a law degree.
Every barber I know is a legal defense.
He's a doctor.
He can coach basketball, boxing.
He's an expert in everything.
I've never seen a barber face anything they couldn't handle outside of the barbershop.
You guys sit there and talk to mad different people,
so I see how that happens.
Since you mentioned it, let me just get this off my chest
since we don't have much else to really talk about.
Whoever works, anybody that works with high school kids doing athletics,
I don't want to hear about it during my day.
That's a barber.

Basley gets mad depressed.
I have the fucking cameras.
All she does is
lay by the door
like she's dead
and sleeps the entire time.
And it makes me feel bad.
That's all I do
when I'm home alone.
He's dressed it up.
That's what I do

I lay by the door
like I'm dead.
Rory, that's the dog's life.

Doubled back around three-ish.
I wasn't going to let this go until he answered.

So he answered the phone.
Was it a FaceTime or a phone call?
Phone call.
I wouldn't invade a space Phone call. I wouldn't invade
his space like that.
I wouldn't invade
the boy's space like that.
I wasn't sure

him the spread.
You invaded his space
a lot though.
Nah, I wouldn't invade
the boy's space like that.
No way.
I thought you might
want to show him the spread.
Nah, I gave him
a little regular call
just in case he had
something going on.
Oh, he wanted
to double date.
I was going to say,
double on Valentine's Day.
He answered the phone.
Nah, I didn't want
to do that with him.
Just a cool little check-in. So he answered the phone and he was to double date. I was going to say, yeah, double on Valentine's Day. He answered the phone. No, I didn't want to do that with him. Just a cool little check-in.
So he answered the phone, and he was laughing hysterically.
Because I knew why he was calling me.
He couldn't stop laughing.
I said, yo, what's so funny?
He said, yo, man, I'm just watching this Meek Takashi stuff.
And I said, on Valentine's Day?
Exactly.
I said, wait, all right.
Now let me get into a little mall intervention here.

Parks putting his hair
in a bun
to get her going.
Oh,
I know what's coming now. He put his hair in a ponytail so get her going. Oh, I know what's coming now.
Park's putting his hair in a ponytail so he can get crazy.
That's some funny shit, man.
It was nice.
We slept all day.
We ate food and we watched movies.
It was cute.
Sunday shit.
Yeah.
Sunday shit.
That's all.
We actually went to a restaurant.
Okay.
We did indoor dining.
It was weird.
You're part of the problem.
I know. It's my first time I've done indoor dining. It was weird. You're part of the problem. I know.
It's my first time I've done indoor dining since
probably this time last year.
It was alright.
It was nice. It felt nice to feel
a little normal. Yeah. It wasn't
scary. Anything memorable about the day?
Just the love.
The love is very memorable. Just the love.
You can see it in his face.
We kept it light, man.
We're not, you know.
We got each other some chocolate and cards, and that was it.
The lovey corny shit.
Did you learn anything about yourself or your significant other?
Oh, we did play a really corny card game.
Come on.
It was like about learning about each other, but it was pretty bad.
Come on, share.
The questions were really bad.
But share with us.
It was just like, what's your favorite color? It was terrible.
It was a terrible game.
And it said like the world's best couples game or something.
It was not.
It was not.
Twister is much better.
Yeah.
Naked Twister.
Naked Twister.
Does that line still work more on a first date?
What?
What's your favorite color?
Well, Naked Twister afterwards.
What's your favorite color?
Put your hand on your favorite color.
Right hand on your favorite color
Yeah
I'm more with the twist
On the first date type of thing
That's dope
That's real shit
I don't care about your favorite color
What about you Rory?
How was your Valentine's Day?
Like I said before
I don't subscribe to
These made up holidays
By
By white Jesus
You're not a pagan
Yeah Irish and Cubans
Don't get along
No man
Social constructs created
By the white Jesus That y'all pray to.
And that ain't for me.
No, yeah.
No, I see.
So if you guys want to go into Duane Reade and make Hallmark rich again.
No, I never really looked at it.
You do realize that Hallmark is like the only company that still does print and makes money.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't even.
That's kind of crazy.
I didn't even break it down like that.
Yeah, but let's stay on you.
Yeah.
I didn't even that's kind of crazy
I didn't even
break it down like that
yeah but let's stay on you
yeah
that's crazy about Hallmark
by the way
but
you know what I love
Joe saying earlier
yo how come you always
try to kick my back
in when I'm down
you're the biggest hypocrite
I've ever met in my entire life
you're already trying to
tell us what
Hallmark is doing
when they add on
the stocks and all that
yo you know they were the most downloaded app last year.
Time Magazine can't even do print.
But Hallmark can.
How was your Valentine's Day?
The malarkey that Hallmark is pulling on.
Do you know what that is?
How was your Valentine's Day?
Rory gave us the Hallmark breakdown.
That's great.
They import their paper.
Listen, my mother taught Sunday school school St. Valentine was a fucking creep
Oh my god
I don't subscribe to this
Come on
Give me a hug
No Rory I'm not
And I don't know if St. Valentine was a creep
I have no idea
He might have been the nicest guy ever
Yo Rory is an idiot, man.
That's some funny shit.
Did anyone even meet Duke, though?
And why is he a saint?
What's up with the cupids and all that?
And I don't even like his last name.
I like that you're asking these questions after Valentine's Day.
I like that.
Yeah, it's important.
And what does he have to do with the Easter bunny and Christ rising again?
Show me the significance.
I don't fuck with bunnies on Easter.
Santa?
He's definitely a creep.
White guys coming down your chimney?
100% a creep.
It's about Jesus.
No, that's the KKK.
Now we're talking about St. Valentine, and now it's about Hallmark?
No, I get it.
Y'all have not went to 2-5th and done the science.
That's all I'm saying.
I wasn't expecting y'all to break it.
They scream at me all the time.
Right.
It's a fact.
It is a fact.
Yes.
Yes.
A similar event did take place.
You're right.
You were right.
Our research found a published report of a similar story.
Yes, it was.
A similar story happened to a young man in the Pacific Northwest about 20 years ago.

Anytime they put Western in front of something,
Western citizen,
Western,

It's cool.
So nothing happened for Valentine's Day.
It's basically what you're saying.
You didn't do anything.
You're just home chilling.
You see how I tried to flip it, though.

The Baki.
This looks like a six-figure Valentine's Day to me.
Come on.
That's-
Back to pocket watching.
This looks-
These white boys, these white boys will not stop pocket watching.
I'm just doing the math.
That's not pocket watching. That is exactly what that is. No, I'm just doing the math. That's not pocket watching.
That is exactly what that is.
No, I'm just doing the math.
You can't do the math on someone's Valentine's Day.
Can I get this Bitcoin?
No.
Exactly.
Keep going.
That's why the pocket watching thing is going to you.
That Chanel went crazy.
Can y'all please send them their Bitcoin?
Get this shit out of my phone.
Look at all of that. Look at all of that.
Look at all of that.
That shit doubled
last week.
You know what I'm saying?
Are you going to send it
when I go down?
Right.
Listen,
I had a really amazing evening.
I meant to bring
some of the rose petals
in here
and toss them
at you guys,
but I'll do that
next time.
No, you don't have to.
I wanted to give y'all a little dose of that. Come on. Strawberries, that next time. No, you don't have to. Well, just quickly. I wanted to give you all
a little dose of that.
Come on.
Strawberries, chocolate, caramel.
You can bring us
some Chanel sunglasses.
No, I'm happy.
PS5, Chanel.
Come on, man.
Is it Valentine's Day
if ain't no Chanel-y?
I don't know.
That's true.
I don't know.
I never thought about it like that.
I don't know.
Ask Western society
because now you're just
buying into more capitalism
in France.
It was a real good...
The French.
Supporting the French.
It was a beautiful,
beautiful weekend and my heart is full. You look like your... The French. Supporting the French. It was a beautiful, beautiful weekend
and my heart is full.
You look like your heart is full.
My heart is full.
Well, I was on the way here.
I'm glad you brought up
that you were going to
throw rose petals at us
because I was on the way here
and I saw a lot of women
getting their Galentine's Day off,
which I think is dope.
I thought it was really cool
that they were doing that.
But I kind of felt a way
that we didn't do
Palentine's Day.
So I found some stuff
in my car.
Okay.
Did you give me some cigarettes or something?
I got you. This is a face wipe from JetBlue.
Oh, good luck.
I respect that.
This is a used lint roller.
You just have to take off the first layer and then it's a new one.
You're wearing black. I figured it'd be good for you.
Nah, Joe need that.
And this is actually, this is vitamin C with hand sanitizer.
I might need this back after we record though because I like that one.
So I thought I could do Valentine's Day with my guys.
Thank you, Rory. That's kind.
Yeah, like the girls can't just have
Valentine's Day. Oh, you love us?
I mean, yeah. Oh, man. Rory, look at you.
Y'all are my Valentines.
Thank you, Rory. Appreciate that.
Is your heart fuller, Joe?
A few things I learned on Valentine's Day my heart's full what'd you learn a lot more boyfriend reveals there was a lot of that yeah
a lot of boyfriend reveals the most I think in Valentine's Day history in my 30 years I ain't
hate I gave him a like I liked youhmm. I liked you and your man.
Ooh, I like his tattoos
on his arm.
A lot of boyfriend reveal.
I don't want to get into it.
Like, I want to let
Valentine's Day
kind of like just
simmer out for a week.
Stop hiding your
fucking boyfriend
through the rest of the year.
No, no, no.
Stop hiding it
even on Valentine's Day.
Like, why are you just
showing a nigga
arm on Valentine's? Like, come on, man. Yeah, a couple of y'all with my niggas. I'm like, oh. Like, why are you just showing a nigga arm on Valentine's Day?
Like, come on, man.
Yeah, a couple of y'all with my niggas.
I'm like, oh.
Oh, shit.
That's where Juan at with it.
Oh, shit.
She with Juan.
Yeah, I just never understood that.
Like, if you're not going to
show your significant other,
why show their leg
or their arm?
That's just weird to me.
It's a little weird.
Yeah, I'm just not,
I don't know.
I know you don't want people
in your business,
but then that's still
your business.
Then just don't even post anything. that's exactly so that's one simple
thing the flip side of that was i did a lot on the gram for my niggas to have fun with me pause
for y'all to have a blast that was a lot of that a lot of that was for y'all to have fun
the rest of it though
is upstairs soundproof no no it's not i can't hear nothing is upstairs soundproof?
no no it's not
soundproof ish
soundproof ish
yeah
the rest of it though
a lot of sad face emojis out there
yeah yeah yeah yeah
we we we
but you know that
a lot of sad face emojis
out there
but see Joe
nah come on
you like playing that game though
you like playing that game
we gotta talk about it
it almost felt like you did that
for that
yeah that was that was kinda like no the Joe. It almost felt like you did that for that. Yeah, that was kind of like.
No, because your point, B, there ain't no bitch that should be sad.
Okay.
Okay.
If you're going to stand on that, I respect it.
There ain't a bitch that's supposed to be sad.
Okay.
Nowhere.
Okay, now.
See, and that's where women get tricky because men fuck a whole bunch of girls.
Not me, but men.
Not me.
When women, not you, not none of the men here, but when women are entertaining a bunch of guys,
they'll talk to a few of them as if they might be the only one.
So women get to get off the send a sad face when you stunting.
Bitch, you're not sad.
Get out of here.
Right.
So that's a little nasty.
And you with a nigga right now.
Fam, yeah, don't do that.
You sending me sad face emojis and you in the bed with me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on. You don't do that. You sending me sad face emojis and you in the bed with a nigga.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on.
You can't do that.
You can't do that.
And maybe my last realization of the weekend is I'm not a just fuck through the day guy.
Got a time to fucks.
Sure.
You're going to get this in the morning, afternoon, a real nice session in.
But in my head, I'd be thinking at any time in the day, it could be pound town.
Okay.
Quickly, I'm going to stop you.
No, no.
I stopped myself.
No, no.
I quickly learned.
So while Parks was pocket watching, I may have been food watching.
No way you can fuck through all that food.
Yeah, facts.
A whole three pounds of so much food.
Three pounds of porterhouse and now I'm getting to fucking?
I'm taking a nap.
Look how much mac and cheese is on that plate.
I'm napping and farting for the next three hours.
None of this spread
said out there fucking.
Real good time though.
It looked like you had a great time.
A lot of romance.
Joe know how to do shit for Valentine's Day
where it's for him
too like you enjoy the moment as well well you don't get happy making someone else happy yeah
no for sure but i'm just saying like you make sure that no you guys that bacon and lobster tail was
definitely for you no woman is ordering bacon and lobster tail for breakfast i didn't order the
lobster tail though yes you did i't. Your chef don't cook
what you tell him.
He just threw the lobster tail on it.
Then he fucked it up
the next night.
He put some bullshit
on that plate
and laced me.
Is that whole lobster fried?
It was good food.
A lot of love was in the air.
A lot of love was in the air.
He threw the whole fucker
right in there?
Yeah.
So you breaded the shit
out of that lobster.
Yeah.
Still squirming,
not getting in there, buddy.
Jesus Christ. Yeah, but squirming, not getting in there, buddy. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, but I just felt like more respect needed to be put on my name.
Like, I felt the way from y'all.
Like, y'all was questioning, like, my Ronnie romance level.
I don't think we ever questioned it.
Like, I think because we be joking around in here.
Like, dudes can get romantic?
No, absolutely.
Fam, yes.
That's what I'm, yes.
Then why is it funny when dudes get romantic?
It's always gonna be funny
But why
But tell me why
That's just man shit
I gotta laugh at my nigga
For throwing rose petals
On the floor
What the fuck you doing nigga
I gotta laugh
You just gotta laugh
At shit like that
But it's dope
For your lady
Get your shit off
She cried
Of course
Listen that's what it's about
She cried to me
Yeah that's alright
But is she one of those girls
That cries over everything
No
Okay
No she's one of those
that's mad that she's
crying.
Oh, I'm a thug still.
Nigga, shut up.
Nigga, take these
fucking rose petals
to your face.
But that's dope though.
And it just becomes
the girl that cried wolf
and it's like, oh, you
And my whole body is,
we got to do massages
Sunday night and my
whole body is still
sore from it.
Like I think I'm going
to do that.
I got to get into that
bi-weekly now. The way that they twist and contort you and you feel it. Oh, did you do a going to do that. I got to get into that bi-weekly now.
The way that they twist and contort you
and you feel it.
Oh, did you do a chiropractor too?
No.
I did a deep tissue one recently.
Yeah, dude.
Couldn't walk after.
Oh, my God.
I was in pain.
I dated a massage therapist
for a long time, like three years.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
She would leave me.
I would be using her for her services.
And then I could see her tight. Like, yo, I just rubbed mad dude's backs today.
I'm not rubbing yours.
Yeah, that too.
All right, do you think maybe you set the bar a little too high?
Because that's what scares me with men that go all out on Valentine's Day.
That's a fact.
How are you going to continue not to do this every night, per se?
Even next year.
How are you going to continue this? do this every night per se even next year continue this
look like quite the bar yeah what's the birthday look like now shit oh i don't know
i don't know you gotta cross that bridge you take this thing one one holiday at a time
and now valentine's day was great i felt great she felt great love love love great. Love. Love. Love.
As long as her heart is full and your heart is full.
That's the important thing here, Joe. Thank you.
Thank you, Maul. It's full. I'm happy for you.
Alright, what we got? There seems
to be a lot to get to 40 minutes in.
You want to start with... Oh, yeah, no.
Meek and Dude.
Meek and Dude, since that's what Maul spent his Valentine's Day doing.
Yeah, this was... That's where you found love?
I couldn't believe that this was happening
on Valentine's Day.
That's why I was laughing.
See, now you understand
why I was laughing
on the phone with you.
Why are they doing this
on Valentine's Day?
What couple name
did you make up?
Mikashi.
Sounds like the guy
that created Bitcoin.
Satoshi Mikashi.
Yeah.
This clip was released
for those of you
that don't know
what we're talking about.
There was a Meek Takashi vid
where apparently
they were in a club in Miami
the story I'm getting is
Takashi left
waited outside
for Meek and his people
to come out
and then there was
an altercation with cameras
so you have all these
different perspectives of this
which Maul told me
to make sure I go look
at all of the perspectives
I saw them all
I saw the Meek angle I saw the Takashi angle I saw the of the perspectives. I saw them all. I saw the Meek angle.
I saw the Tekashi angle.
I saw the mush, the security guard.
He didn't say nothing.
I saw it all.
So where would y'all like to begin in unpacking this?
I'm sad that we have to unpack this, but here we are.
That's my overall point.
You're sad that we got to unpack it?
Yeah, I'm sad that we have to unpack it.
Look at what is important.
It's not.
It is.
It's not.
All right, let me not say important. It's not. It is. It's not. All right, let me not say important.
It's not.
Important is not the word.
Look at what needs
to be talked about
within cultural shit.
This is some stupid,
corny,
horrible things.
That's when you feel like
the uncle that may have
outgrown just some of this stuff.
Like,
there is no angle of this
that excites me to talk about.
There's no way to,
like, fam, on Valentine's Day, this is what y'all are doing. What stood me to talk about. There's no way to like fam on Valentine's Day.
This is what y'all are doing.
What stood out to me was Tekashi security guards couldn't hold him back.
That's what told me all I needed.
No, I didn't need to hear Meek say, hey, this is stage.
He waited for us.
He trying to get us locked up.
I can see that.
Which is why look at the world we live in.
Look, this is what you have to do. To think you're relevant. which is why look at the world we live in. Look.
This is what you have to do to think you're relevant.
This is stupid. This is the, like, really, if you unpack,
like, I need a real therapist to go through this entire thing,
and not to Tekashi.
No, you just need a real therapist.
The consumer.
I have a therapist.
The consumer, not Tekashi.
Tekashi is doing what he knows the world will pay attention to.
My blame is not to them.
My blame is, let's look at us.
I'm blaming him too,
because that shit don't work.
He ain't selling no more records doing this.
That don't matter to him.
And it don't matter to his fans.
This is the new song.
This is the single.
That's what the world we're in now.
This is the single.
If you view it that way.
And it's featuring Meek.
If you view it that way. And it's featuring Meek. If you view it that way,
I understand.
Like,
this is really what
the world is moving into,
if not already there,
of the things that are now
important to us.
I couldn't figure out
what club this was in Miami
where the parking is
in a garage.
This is not Booby Trap.
This is not none of the clubs
that,
you know what I mean,
come to mind, play. I'm not none of the clubs that, you know what I mean, come to mind.
Play.
I'm not sure where this was at, but I was just disappointed only because, you know,
to me, Meek is on the level where it's just too much dialogue.
There's too much talking with this dude.
What would you want Meek to do in this situation?
I mean, I would have, wherever we was at, once we would have walked out those doors
and saw that he was still there in the parking lot or he was there, I wouldn't even went
out.
I'd be like, listen, man, get that dude out of here.
Like, y'all clear the parking lot.
I'm not going in that parking lot until he's gone.
Because you know this is what he wants.
He wants the interaction.
Right.
He wants the video.
He wants the back and forth.
He wants to post that.
So it's like, you can't play into that game.
And this is what he wants. So you think Meek knew't play into that into that into that game and this is this is what he wants
so you think Meek knew
walking out of that door
that
Tekashi 6ix9ine was right there
I mean once
yeah he saw him
once he saw him out there
it's like
yo listen man
I'm not talking
like we not
we not doing that
we not going back and forth
because it's not gonna be
a back and forth
no of course
there's a bunch of security guards
in front of a screaming guy
with a phone
it's a circus
it's literally a circus
but wait
I'm not gonna to be so fast
to call those dudes security guards
because they don't look like security guards,
nor are they acting like security guards.
So I'm not going to call them that.
I don't know what they are.
I don't know who they work for.
I don't know who's paying them.
I don't know what their role is,
but it certainly wasn't to defuse anything
or de-escalate anything.
It's a show.
Joe, we've watched it.
They look like they're part of the show, though.
Yeah, this is a show.
It looks like somebody said to them, yo, we got the phone out. You know what we looking to get. This is a show Joe we've watched it They look like they're part of the show though Yeah It looks like somebody said to them
Yo we got the phone out
You know what we looking to get
This is a show
Just don't let it get too crazy
And they played with somebody
Who is on record as saying
I'm not gonna get too crazy
Cause
Y'all know where I come from
And the judge just yammed me up
That's what he says on record
And we've also seen that with every
Tekashi stunt since He's gotten out of jail That security was in on everything as far as the show yeah too yeah
i'm not saying that they're not actually security guards and protecting him but they're hired
that interview is not just can you protect him will you be part of this fucking bullshit circus
that he's gonna perform see but this is why when i go to miami i sit my ass in my room or i don't
leave wherever whatever's going on.
Because Marlon's right.
Meek is seen with too many high-profile people to be in the same club as Duke.
Yeah.
You're not even supposed to share the same-
Y'all are not even supposed to club together.
You can't share the same air with him.
Not even the same Soho house.
Yeah.
All right, but to Meek's defense-
He should go hang out with Tom Brady and them, you know? Right. Yeah. All right, but to Meek's defense, he should go hang out
with Tom Brady and them,
you know?
Right, exactly.
Or don't hang out.
Yeah.
Or don't hang out.
It's easy, y'all.
What Drake said,
all you niggas is clubbing,
I'm locked in the studio,
I'm writing songs,
I don't know what's going on
because I'm locked down here.
Okay, but part of writing music
is being in Miami clubs.
Yeah, not bad.
Especially Meek.
I'm not rolling.
That's not true.
No, this is 100% true. Here's the thing, Meek is at a level to where- Fam, if you on your fifth album relying on Miami clubs. Yeah, not bad. Especially Meek. I'm not rolling. That's not true. No, this is, here's the thing,
here's the thing.
Meek is at a level to where-
Fam, if you on your fifth album
relying on Miami clubs
to get something out,
then you have a hard time.
That's not what it is.
That's not what it is.
That's not true.
Meek just has to-
Part of writing is living.
Yeah, no, but-
Go live in different situations.
No, no, no, no, no.
If you need to rely on it.
It's not that.
I didn't say rely.
Y'all missing it.
You said rely.
You said you need to be
in a Miami club
to get your shit on.
That's part of life. No, you don't. No, you don't. Meek makes party records with young said rely. You said you need to be in a Miami club to get your shit on. That's part of life.
No, you don't.
No, you don't.
Meek makes party records
with young artists.
Yeah, but you don't,
it's still certain places
you don't need to be at.
He could be there, but...
Y'all don't even know
what club this was.
He don't need to be...
Whatever club it was,
he should have been there.
First of all,
no, no, no,
first and foremost,
it's the day before Valentine's Day.
You should be doing
some super fly shit
with a chick nobody
ever seen before.
Yeah, all the shit... Look at y'all telling another man what he should be doing before Valentine's Day. Yeah, be doing some super fly shit with a chick nobody ever seen before. Boat, yeah, all the shit.
Look at y'all telling another man what he should be doing before Valentine's Day.
Yeah, because look what he ended up doing.
Fair, he walked out to his car and was minding his business from what I know.
Nah, nah, nah.
I don't know.
Nah, nah, nah.
From what I saw, Meek walked out and then the show began.
You know what we mean.
There's certain things, there's certain places you're just not supposed to be in.
There's certain areas you're just not supposed to be in.
I agree with that, but you guys won't even tell me
what club it is.
I don't care what club it is.
It don't matter to me.
It don't matter what club.
If y'all told me this was Liv,
I'd be like,
all right,
maybe Meek doesn't need
to be in Liv anymore.
Any club that Takashi is in,
Meek shouldn't be in.
Is that a fact that he was in there
or he was waiting outside?
You know how easy it is
for any civilian,
by civilian I mean not a rapper,
not street shit,
to know where Meek is at.
Rory's just arguing
some shit.
By the time Meek
gets in a club,
mad people have tweeted
where Meek is at.
It's mad easy to find out
where rappers are
on social media.
That's kind of my point though.
You shouldn't be in places
like that.
So I'm saying
6ix9ine may have not
been in there.
There's a bunch of fly shit
you could be doing.
There's a bunch of fly shit
you could be doing.
A bunch of fun you could be having.
They find Jay on a private island you don't
think they can find meek in miami no matter how private the shit is but what i'm saying is rory
takashi has never found jay on a private you're just saying shit right now people finding people
are at no no other billionaires find jay-z over there other billionaires find jay-z on island
you're right paparazzi does but paparazzi and takashi is different we're not talking about that
i'm talking about you shouldn't even be in a place to where this dude can get next to you to have this moment because that's really all he wanted was this moment.
Agreed.
That's all I'm saying.
You got to remove yourself from these moments.
You got to remove yourself from these moments.
That's all I'm saying.
Especially when you're somebody like me.
You rubbing shoulders with the people you rubbing shoulders with now.
You sitting in rooms trying to change laws.
You sitting in rooms trying to make effective change in communities and shit like that you
can't then turn around and then post shit of you having an interaction with somebody that you've
already expressed how you feel about this person and i'm not deviating from that point what i'm
saying is that me could be with robert craft at patriots fucking stadium and someone will find
out and takashi could go to that fucking parking lot and wait.
No, he's not.
Let me get to him.
And my response to that is
then it's Meek's job to leave.
Yeah.
You're right.
And wasn't that
what he was trying to do?
That can happen.
The interaction can't happen,
O'Rory.
Once I see him,
once I see you standing
over there in the parking lot,
I go right back in the cut
like, listen,
clear that shit out.
I'm not going out there
I don't disagree with that point.
I'm only arguing
to what y'all are saying where Meek now has to live underground and
can't even walk to his car.
That's not what I'm saying.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying stop making yourself accessible to these moments for happening.
You got to start hanging out and doing different shit.
You got to elevate, bro.
You got to elevate.
You can't be in the clubs that this dude goes to.
That's valid.
That's what I'm saying.
My only point was,
I don't know that he was in that club.
Even if he was,
let's say he wasn't.
He wasn't being Robert Kraft's
fucking suite watching the Super Bowl.
Listen,
but he could be in the parking lot.
Okay, you're right.
Let's say he wasn't.
Let's say he wasn't.
But even when you see him
in the parking lot,
the dialogue and the back and forth,
you cannot get into that.
Yeah, I don't know what he did.
You can't do that.
You can't,
you can't exchange no words with that dude.
I'm just saying,
Meek looked like he was going to his car.
And that was my only point.
Which is fine.
Which is fine.
That was my only,
don't try to say I was making that argument.
On his way to his car,
before he got to his car,
he noticed the dude was in the parking lot.
You can't spit on him.
You can't talk to him.
Sure.
That's all I'm saying.
Totally with that.
Because you can't do that.
A huge advocate of leaving these type of people alone.
You can't scream in the camera.
These internet weirdo kids.
Oh, you trying to get me jammed up.
Oh, you trying to get me locked up.
If you continue the conversation with somebody who all we know is them getting people locked up.
Right.
Yeah.
Because at what point does the onus fall on you?
Yeah.
Because now, see, Tekashi to me is irrelevant.
He means nothing in the grand scheme of hip hop, where hip hop is going, what it stands for.
He means nothing.
Which is why I say Meek should need to be having an interaction.
Meek, on the other hand, yes.
Now what we're doing is unpacking how Meek handled that.
Right.
Not we, but there's people out there that are now unpacking how Meek handled this situation.
Where, what situation?
I was walking in my car.
Right, right.
But here we are now. And I'm not not gonna do a back and forth with that i will say though if i'm meek and i'm just walking
to my car and i may be with people that go and this person without any of my knowledge runs up
on me yeah i might be saying leave me alone you're trying to get me locked up because the people
around me go and you're running around with me locked up because the people around me go.
And you running around with a phone screaming like a fucking idiot with your cops in front of you.
Yeah, but see, you know what?
That too.
Hold on.
See, and that too, that's another thing that I'm not a fan of.
Like, yeah, I know people that'll go for me.
But I don't ever want to put any of my niggas in a situation where they have to go for me.
Sure.
Agreed. Like, I look at niggas
real different
when they hire their mans
as security.
Like, how you hiring
your friend as security?
Like, you want to put your friend...
Well, me, me can have
real security with him.
I understand.
I'm just, I'm not talking about me.
I'm just talking about
the bigger conversation.
Like, how you putting your man
in a position to where
he might have to do something
that might cost his life
or end up in jail?
Like, I don't,
I'm not a fan of that.
And to that I say,
if I'm just with my
friend he's not with me as my friend because i know he could go right we just childhood friends
and i want to hang out my childhood absolutely he just happens to go right right but then i don't
i don't want to ever not hang out with him bro i don't i don't i don't go out like i don't even
go places if i feel like there's a possibility something might pop up i'm the same way i don't
even do that i'm not going if i feel like something up. I'm the same way. I'm the same way. I don't even do that. I'm not going if I feel like something might.
Why am I even here?
You're not the same way if you're sticking to what you just said.
No, I'm talking about this situation.
I'm here to point out the contradiction.
You just said, yo, you're hanging out with him as your friend,
not as somebody that can go.
So you're not going to not hang out with your friend just because they go.
And I totally disagree.
Yes, the fuck you will.
friend just because they go and i totally disagree yes the fuck you will if your friend goes and you can't be around a situation that goes can't be then you can't be with him anymore
and the thing about niggas that go ain't no time to talk yeah and that that's my no no situation
no no roy it's my point in this situation Because if he's with some niggas that go, he ain't walking over to spit at nobody.
No, this is not happening.
He's not walking over to have this whole exchange.
Like Maul said, he's going to protect his dudes that he knows is going,
and we're not going for him.
Right.
No.
We out of here.
I like how Meek handled it, but.
No, I don't.
No, I don't like that he got into that exchange.
And to that point
that was too much
he was with security
the way he should have been
oh yeah no for sure
that isn't the friend
that's gonna go
that was just hypothetically
Von was with security
when he got shot
yeah
you want me to tell you
all the rappers
that are with security
when they either
get to shooting
or get shot
like that don't mean
nothing really
that's like just by protocol
like
you gotta take yourself
Out of those situations
You gotta
Especially
Cause I'm not saying that
Meek shouldn't go to a club
Of course
I'm not saying he shouldn't
Hang out with his homies
That's stupid
I'm never saying
No shit like that
I kinda think y'all just said that
No no no
That's
Well let me clear it up
That's not what I'm saying
I'm saying that
Once we go in the parking lot
And we see that dude
Standing over there
And he got his phone
And you can tell
What he ready to do
Hold on Everybody chill Yo clear that out i don't understand why i'm not
even going clear that shit out totally understands this point listen if you read read the newspaper
and it says joe budden got caught slipping on 138th street at four in the morning coming out
the building what was you doing over there? You're going to say,
Joe shouldn't have been there.
Exactly.
Of course.
Exactly.
And that's all.
Joe know he shouldn't have been there.
Whatever happened then,
I was fucked up.
But why was he there?
Right.
And we don't need to go in circles,
but I asked y'all
if you knew what club he was at.
No one has given me that answer.
I don't care what club he was at.
So that's why I'm not sure
Meek shouldn't have not been there.
I don't care what club he was at.
And I'm not saying Takashi
was just chilling outside waiting.
He need to act like the fire.
Like I said, like I said.
I heard this was a restaurant at one point, not a club.
Whatever, wherever he was at.
Meek can go wherever he wants.
I'm just saying, once you see that dude standing in that parking lot, you can't have an exchange with him.
You can't let that happen.
Yo, and you got to know, I'm done talking about Meek now.
I'm just talking about how you move in this industry.
I was hanging out with some people a few months ago.
And we was trying to get shit shake.
I was like, yo, where'd it go?
Where'd it go?
Where'd it go?
It's like, yo, well, Tory over there, booby trap was such and such and such and such and such.
And I'm like, all right, I know booby trap is hot.
You thinking about going to booby trap?
And they was like, no, I can't do that because Tory's there.
That's my man.
But no, that's a mess. Yeah. He going through what he going through. I'm going to booby chat and they was like no i can't do that because tori's there that's my man but no that's a mess yeah you're gonna do what he's going through i'm gonna go
over there if i hug him in something if i kiss him in something if i say hi to him in something
that's just not for me to go the end right problem solved you could want a club you could want to
turn up you can want to have fun you can want to spend money like maul says a certain way to
you got to level up shit he made the song he made that sling right
and that's all i'm saying when you reach a certain level you could do super fly exclusive shit
when nobody can't get around yeah i'm talking about that's the fun shit arguing that club
shit ain't fun i don't give a fuck with nobody that club shit is corny that club shit is corny
the real fun is when my mansion Niggas have a private spot
The club shit is the corny shit
That's the corniest shit
Yeah
Dudes do the private
Private parties
At a house
Or the resort
The villas
Yeah
We here
This is what we doing
The chef
We got the drinks
We got whatever we need
Smoke
That fun you see
That's the fun
That fun you see
When all the Instagram baddies
are in Cabo together
just with no men
conveniently
no it was a girls trip
that's the fun
that's the fun
that's the fun
we supposed to be having
that's the fun
that's what they do
hey
and the sad part is
I'm not talking about Meek
but it was Valentine's Day
so the next day
you saw how niggas gave it up
yeah
you saw what money
you saw what Quavo was doing
you saw what Offset was doing you saw what Bunny Bag Yo was doing you saw what niggas gave it up. Yeah. You saw what money, you saw what Quavo was doing, you saw what Offset was doing,
you saw what Bunny Bag Yo
was doing,
you saw what niggas
that's in that groove.
Hey, it's they day.
Me, I'm not in that groove,
but you seen what I was doing,
like it's they day.
Uh-huh.
This ain't about,
this ain't time for me
to go find Duke
that owe me money.
Like,
this is not the day.
Yeah.
That's it.
And I respect Meek
and I have him,
like he's very important to his generation and and I have him. He's very important
to his generation
and to what he represents.
He's very important.
But moments like that,
that's where one wrong thing
could destroy all that you
worked for and built.
That's all I'm saying.
I completely agree with that.
That's all I'm saying.
You can't put yourself in it.
No, no, I understand that.
To conclude my point,
I don't know where Meek
was coming out of.
I don't know that
Tekashi69 was there.
I know that bouncers and security guards all know and work with each other
and have sent mad text messages,
yo, this person just walked into the spot.
You know Ghostface made the song Run, though, right?
Right.
Just saying.
I don't know the details to say Meek was in a place he shouldn't have been in,
that Tekashi wasn't waiting outside because he got a tip from another security guard
that talked to another security guard that got into the private spot.
I don't know.
That was my only point.
Whenever Meek sees me, he should run.
If Meek was at a regular-ass club with Tekashi69, yes, Meek, you shouldn't be in that club.
If you're at the laundromat and he walks in, you should run.
That's what I'm saying.
Fair.
I don't care about the club.
Wherever he sees him, he should run away.
Zero dialogue.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zero dialogue.
Not wrong there. Not wrong there at all. That's it. That's all. What else? Hey, prayers should run away. Zero dialogue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Zero dialogue. Not wrong there. Not wrong there
at all. That's all. What else?
Hey, prayers to everyone involved.
No, prayers to me. Thoughts and prayers.
Thoughts and prayers. Prayers to me. Rest in peace
to Vincent Jackson. Saved
me on many a
fantasy football Sundays.
That's not
important right now. He was a beast, man.
Vincent Jackson, yeah. He was a beast. He was a beast, man. Vincent Jackson, yeah. He was a beast.
Yeah.
He was a beast.
Vincent Jackson was found dead in a hotel room in Tampa.
Yeah, I believe so, yeah.
Really unfortunate.
Really unfortunate.
No details have come out about this.
Yeah.
Rest in peace.
Jesus.
Yeah, prayers to the family.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Listen, again, I'll tell y'all,
it's been death every podcast.
Yeah.
2021.
Rupert Neve died.
He's an engineering superhero.
Yeah.
He invented all these things
that we talked about.
I saw.
Absolutely.
I saw that.
Very big deal.
Absolutely.
Very big deal.
It's important for us
to talk about music,
especially new music
and up-and-coming artists
because it dawned on me
when I found that song
by that young lady
I love, right?
And when Maul
and, yeah, Maul does it a lot
when he reposts
artists bigging up, the fact that
we big them up. It brought me
back to remembering what it was like to hear
myself on the radio for the first time.
Yeah.
And it hits a little different here, I think, than radio because we only talk about and play a certain amount of shit but it's the same it's the
same you're right you're absolutely right yeah but it's so the same like if i'm a new artist at a
label not getting any support or attention and i'm busting my ass making music and then the hottest
podcast out mentions me and now the label has maybe heard that,
and now they're paying attention now
because someone outside said they're paying attention.
I know how that feels.
So it didn't hit me until over the weekend
that, damn, it's important that we never escape that
because the new artists don't really have that.
Mixed show on radio is not mixed show anymore.
It's programmed.
Playlists for the most part.
Videos you got to pay for.
Payola.
Playlists you got to pay for.
Where is the organic?
It really is pods.
I won't be arrogant and say just us, but it's just pods now.
I went on a little rant.
I did a little Monday IG jam session because I hadn't in a while last night. And I got kicked off twice and I ended up going on a little rant. I did a little Monday IG jam session
because I hadn't in a while last night.
And I got kicked off twice
and I ended up going on a little rant.
I saw you on there
and it confused me when I saw you
because there's been plenty of nights
where I wanted to just cut Instagram Live on
and jam.
But I know that they changed the rules
and I know that the licensing police
send you something to say
that you don't own this music and you can't rock and they'll warn you and then they cut your shit off and i get
angry so i tried to not play bigger records and i still got the copyright thing and i went back on
and went and went on uh you know what people perceive as an angry rant when you're
yelling and i wasn't mad it just doesn't make sense to me that like a joe rant more or less
yeah anytime anytime joe speaks
y'all still never broke that down to me maybe i really don't know but why so okay so when d nice
goes on live he has a deal d nice is yeah he has that's what people were saying he has deals
with the labels and my issue is to your point of the acts that may be c-list in the label
why are you copywriting their music your copywriting deals with these social networks
should be different agree y'all should be paying me to play this music on my platform but you're
right i know what he's saying yeah yeah you should want the promo yeah absolutely you should want the algorithm to algorithm it's like i have more followers on uh chitty chatty house than i do on instagram
and twitter and i've been there for five months it's because the algorithms are algorithming
over there yeah and my point is someone with my platform that is known for playing new music
i'm being i'm keeping it a buck you're right but the
fame um that should be something where i'm asking for money to play y'all shit from a label but i
love music and i think that's corny so i just play the shit i love i love to highlight really
talented artists so when i do that on my instagram why are you blocking it like why are you cutting
me off shit is the way you do the? That shit is corporate greed, man.
The way you do the corporate greed,
that's bad business and stupid greed
because you are stepping over a dollar
to make half a fucking penny.
Yeah.
It's promotion,
which you'll make money eventually
because everyone on my Instagram
is now going to go find that record.
All in the comments,
what record is it?
What record is it?
I'm shazamming it now.
All right, I'm going to go listen to it.
You think people,
how they consume music is wait around for people to
ig live no they'll take music from it and then go listen to it right on their own the quality's not
even that fucking good the point that you make free promo and you're cutting me off from making
you money and i'm not asking for any i'm just doing this because i love new music right you
know the problem the problems i thought I would escape by retiring from music
still exist in podcasting still exist in everything that Rory is saying it's business
it's bad business it's bad it's politics you know those first few years of pod and it felt so
great to not have to rhyme words not talk to A&Rs not not talk to label execs, not deal with release dates,
spends,
playlists,
clearances,
budget,
videos.
Oh, when the labels found out
you needed social content.
Some people got paid to tweet.
Hey, that shit hit them
like a bag of bricks.
Hey, you should get
a videographer
to follow you around
during the week.
I'm like, yeah, I said this for fucking 15 years.
Now you want to say when I don't have nothing going on,
what are they going to follow?
Hey, I'm just waking up.
Hey, you should preview your music.
I can't speak.
Preview your music on your IG.
I'm just waking up trying to figure out
where I'm going to eat today.
Nothing really to...
Not as content. Nothing really to film or record.
No, that's content.
I mean, that is content.
But the point Rory is making led me to anywhere I go as a creator, they're going to follow me.
It's them following me.
It's them following you.
It's them following me. It's them following you. It's them following us.
It's not a surprise that they just pop up
when shit is profitable or when you got a buzz
or when you done made some shit
or when they figure out how to monetize some shit.
You can't leave them because they're following you.
So here we are.
We right back in it where, yes, Maul,
D-Nice is going to get a deal
because no one man should be able to play music
and have michelle obama and barack and sicily that whoever is amazing yeah was in there so all
the labels said oh he gets a pass hey they do it to me sometimes universal reached out and hey we'll
give you a blanket license man play what you want sometimes we play some shit and the label stops it
and when I make a call
which is annoying
but when I make a call
they be like oh our bad
we didn't know that was you
we didn't know
we wouldn't have done that
it's just a
and I understand that they do
that shit is stupid
they do the copyright deals
across the board
we're trying to grab
every last person ever
that plays our music
without us monetizing it. You should stop
doing that. You should look more into
these copyright laws and make custom
deals for certain platforms.
And it should be...
And I just think going live, period.
Anyone should be able to play music.
I certainly don't want someone to take my shit and put it on their YouTube
channel and monetize off it.
I understand that. In a super high format.
But if people are playing my shit on a podcast or while they're playing video games or on
Instagram Live, fucking have a blast.
Twitch does well with that.
I make some notes on that shit.
I wish someone would explain it to me because I could be wrong.
I don't know everything.
Yeah, there's a difference between bootlegging and playing some shit because you want to
play some shit.
It's free promotion.
Word.
Even if we play a fucking Drake record on this podcast You guys aren't losing money
When we play a snippet of a song that's been out for 10 years
Right
Just let us play it
Right
Now that it goes
Shit is all stupid
It's stupid
It's all stupid
You're acting like we're doing a fucking Toyota commercial
And then we played a Drake record and didn't pay him
I can't be in my house playing music on my IG Live.
Just like
that shit is stupid man.
It's not stupid if the creator signs away the rights.
No that's stupid.
But it's stupid that I can't. I'm not even talking about the
labels that are making the money off it. I'm talking
about that's bad business for them.
You'll make more money if you let people
promote the music. Yeah.
People will actually go to where you monetize it.
Cause you have fucking stake in every single streaming service.
Oh,
I heard that song.
I'm gonna go listen to it on streaming where you make the money.
You should actually,
I'm not going to shut down the free commercial.
So I don't know what song this is.
You should incorporate Shazams and links right into people's shit.
So that like when people play shit,
they can get actionable.
Right.
No,
it's right here.
Here,
just click the thing. Well, the labels have deals with Shazam. Right. It's right here. Click the thing.
The labels have deals with Shazam.
So that's why that works.
But I'm saying they should incorporate that in YouTube and Twitch and IG Live
where, yeah, you can play my shit,
but it's immediately going to pop up
as like a link to the song.
I agree with that.
That would be fly.
Yeah.
I'm not mad at that.
I probably just gave away a good answer.
What has to happen for y'all to realize that there are no attempts to make the business
better for anybody?
Oh, no.
Like, I get confused.
We just talking about it.
Just venting.
Just venting.
If you're doing what you do bi-weekly.
Yeah.
That's what we do.
Is that what I do bi-weekly?
I'm sorry, weekly.
Is that what I do weekly?
Can you move?
When y'all give y'all Joe impersonations
I want a full-fledged impersonation
Like do what I'm ill to
Like don't just do when I'm corny
And taking L's
And wearing a football basketball jersey
Nah, that's not how the internet works
Like do it when I'm dope too
You think that's what the internet was gonna do?
Yeah, no
I'm talking to my friends
Not the internet
But it's fine, You're the internet too
Um
Alright what else is
Our new music
Are we
Are we on new music
No
Well we recorded on Thursday
So we didn't get to hear
Any of the Friday drops
Except for the Nipsey and Jay record
Cause it came out
On that Thursday
Um
But yeah
Music dropped
Uh
The Judas and Black Messiah
Inspired album I like it Produced by Hip Boy But yeah, music dropped. The Judas and Black Messiah inspired album.
I like it.
Produced by Hip-Boy.
It's really good.
I have it pretty high already in my recent soundtrack joints.
Sure.
Very high, actually.
There's a lot of slaps on there.
Yeah.
Real good project.
I was surprised.
I mean, when we went through the track list And you know We read off the
The names and stuff like that
We was
We was like okay
This could be something dope
But they really did
A really really good job
With this
Really really good job
With this soundtrack
And the movie was dope
Yeah I really liked the movie too
Yeah the movie was dope
I watched that last night
Damn man
My man
Why Lakeith did that shit man
This movie was good
I had to go
I had to not root for him
I had to not root for Lakeith This time man Yeah it's hard for me To root for Lakeith Like after seeing this movie was good. I had to not root for him. I had to not root for Lakeith this time, man.
Yeah, it's hard for me to root for Lakeith.
After seeing this movie and then him moaning on Chatty House, it was like, all right.
He said that wasn't him.
He said that wasn't him.
He said he played an audio recording to fool the Jezebels.
It wasn't actually him moaning in the moaning room.
Hey, that's how niggas clean it up now.
That wasn't me.
And first of all,
why you have an audio recording
of a male moan?
We ain't even got to
go into that.
Do you guys have any
great takes?
I'm sure it's on YouTube.
Any great takeaways
from the soundtrack
or just it was dope?
And go listen to it.
It was really good music.
Check that shit out.
It was dope.
No, this felt like
how soundtracks
used to be for movies. A little bit, yeah. That's how I felt for me. No, this felt like how soundtracks used to be for movies.
A little bit, yeah.
That's how it felt for me.
Yeah.
Bring back the good soundtracks.
Yeah.
I like that.
I like the way
with Mo Money,
Boomerang soundtrack,
shit like that
back in the days
how those soundtracks
were like,
it breaks artists.
Just the first time hearing them,
they got a dope record
on the soundtrack.
This kind of felt like that for me.
But there's a lot of artists
in there we like,
like BJ's Chicago Kid, Masego, Pooh me. But there's a lot of artists in there that we like, like BJ Chicago Kid,
Masego,
Pooh Shiesty,
like a lot of names
that people know
but like haven't really cracked yet.
Yeah.
Happy, good record.
They mix the artists very well
in the sense of super legends,
super lyrical,
non-lyrical,
straight R&B.
I'm not going to say
Smino and Saba are unknown,
but up andand-coming artists
that may not be
on the Nas level right now.
Right.
Throw in a Keanu Letty.
And the Nas record stuff.
Let ASAP rap real quick
and sound real good.
That ASAP record is great.
Yeah.
Shout out to D-Dot
who produced that.
Oh, did he?
Yeah.
Oh, shout out to D-Dot.
Nah, they just...
I know it sounds cliche.
They just chose the artists
way better than I've seen anyone do as of recent in a really long time.
Maybe Black Panther soundtrack that Kendrick did would be the closest I would think that the last time this happened so well.
And a lot of that was TDE.
This was a mixed bag of everything.
Happy or sad about the unreleased Ross verse on What It Feel Like?
Oh, I didn't hear it.
Happy it didn't make the cut or-
Did it leak?
It didn't.
Somebody was playing it.
It did not.
It didn't leak, but somebody played it and said this was supposed to be on the song and
it's not on the song.
And Ross sounded great, but I mean-
That's a Ross-esque beat.
Absolutely.
Definitely a Ross-esque beat, but I like hearing other rappers over a Ross-esque beat.
I don't necessarily have to hear Ross over the Ross-esque beat, but I like hearing other rappers over a Ross-esque beat.
I don't necessarily have to hear Ross over the Ross-esque beat.
I thought the song was right at two verses.
Yeah.
It would have been probably long.
I didn't need to hear any more,
but man, what a record still.
And great soundtrack.
Yeah.
You got to ignore anything that rory texts you when
there's hype around something that drops that was a good soundtrack no no no no when i texted y'all
was true i don't remember the text i'm sorry and i text y'all about the raw shit was the verse
different i didn't make the deadline not the raw thing what i texted i'm talking about yeah the
longer verse it didn't make the deadline.
I said, I don't know if he's going to make the deadline,
but they're there right now.
I'm not rolling with that.
I was on FaceTime.
What are you talking about?
I'm still not rolling with that.
I don't know.
Okay, all right, never mind.
Rory hit the group chat Thursday night late
and was like, yo, I have to think of different,
longer verses coming out because blah, blah, blah. But I'm like, man, it's three in the different, the longer verses coming out, because blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But I'm like, man, it's three in the morning.
This shit's coming out in a couple hours.
It was also like 11 p.m., but...
Same shit.
Yeah.
Table for two, Lucky Day.
He killed that.
I like it.
How was it?
It's a body.
Yeah.
Dope, dope project.
Good seven body. It's phenomenal.. Yeah. Dope, dope project. Good seven body.
It's phenomenal.
Perfect timing.
Really dope.
Really good.
A grower.
It's a grower, not a shower.
It's a grower.
And I don't say that to say that it's mid upon first listen,
but when I first heard it,
I didn't get all of the greatness that was there.
And boy, it was a lot of it.
Because it was different.
It was different.
That's what I like about Lucky Day.
Like his shit, when it comes out, it sounds different than the other R&B that I'm used to hearing.
And that's what he gave me on majority of this whole shit.
I loved all the features.
Features.
Features.
How was it different?
A lot like a Rory sleeper playlist.
Just want to make that clear.
A little Yebo on there.
Was like the production
different
or like the way
he was singing
what's different
well
the production
was different
than I'm
accustomed
to for him
right
which I think
when he led with
On Red
I kind of felt
like this project
wasn't going to sound
like a typical
that song still
isn't for me
okay
I could see how
it sounds better
throughout the project I liked it and it does
sound her coming on no it didn't do it for me but the production is different he takes the second
verse or the lesser part in a lot of these songs and that's different for me he let the he let the
woman lead okay um well it's table for two so i know but that didn't say he was letting the woman
lead well he just said table
for two well he has to pay well which and and which there's some shit around there's some shit
surrounding the concept of this where somebody is claiming that that's the new thing today too
where creators today have a hard time realizing that they can think of something and someone else
can think of something the concept of this is that he's with other women or he's with women on the songs well the concept
that they're saying is stolen there's another artist saying that the table for
two concept in terms of artwork with you at a diner looking pub alone the back
art they're saying and they they're saying that the chords are similar in one of
homeboys records and the on red i'm tired of that yeah i'm tired of it i was gonna do an album with
female i still may like female male thing that's because you're a biter and no one can ever do
that's the women again right you can't women. That's not the most crazy concept
to come up with.
No, I didn't read
too much into,
I did see that
and I saw that
he posted the artwork
that looks similar,
title and all that.
I didn't listen to his music
It looked a little similar.
It did, it definitely did.
But I mean,
for me,
I mean,
if I come up with
the title Table for Two,
I may shoot it at a table.
Right.
Yeah, that's just a guess.
So yeah.
Well, for me, even if he bit off the concept, like the artwork type stuff, yeah, that's fucked up, Lucky Day.
You shouldn't do that if you did that.
And I don't think he did.
I don't think he did.
That'd be the thing.
When you never even heard of this artist that's like, yo, you bit my shit.
It's like, I don't even know you.
I've never even heard of you.
Going through that in podcast land.
Don't get me started.
Yeah, like I've never even heard of you. These new podcasters. Who the fuck are you at episode seven? I didn't even know you. I've never even heard of you. Going through that in podcast land. Don't get me started. I've never even heard of you.
These new podcasters, who the fuck are you at episode seven?
I didn't bite off you.
I don't know you.
I never heard of you.
Nice to meet you.
Well, that's why so many artists stopped taking when demo discs were actually a thing.
No, I can't take that.
I feel like it was...
John Legend got sued for like a court or two because dude had a picture from a meet and greet that proved that he met John Legend.
And that was proof that he passed that demo that day.
And John Legend was like, I never, even if he left it at the meet and greet table, I didn't take it.
Which is what he probably did.
But he lost in court.
And my version of ordinary people is different from
your ordinary people that you that you made that day yours was ordinary and that's my thing when
it comes to this like conceptually okay i understand that but homeboy eventually we got
to get to the music and lucky day's music is well no let me say this i don't like i don't want to
see artists steal other people's concepts even if let me say this. I don't want to see artists steal other people's concepts,
even if they can execute them better.
I don't want to co-sign that at all.
I just don't think that Lucky Day saw that shit
and said, nah, fuck that.
Let me just do the same thing he did.
Your dope concept isn't the end of the job.
At all.
You need to make the music, too,
that's going to be on par with the people
that are going to steal your concept and your music.
Yeah.
And that's the business.
Nobody jumped out there and said he bit anything off his amazing first album.
Right.
We ain't seen none of these.
He took that.
The concept and the music is still only the first 25% of what you have to do to get your shit out there.
That, how much can a heart take?
That could have been the end of the EP for me.
It didn't need to be another song yeah but is incredible yeah that shit I
liked it I liked it a lot and then he got to my window because of course on
red is not there for me because I purchased it and there's no way to add
it to the album that is the dumbest fucking thing. You got to delete it from your library.
If I delete it,
how does it come back up?
Because then when you buy the whole album.
But I have the album ready.
So now what?
But before you buy the album,
you got to delete the singles
that you already bought.
Right.
That is the dumbest thing.
It's very dumb.
It is.
All right.
Cool.
Either way,
How Much Can a Heart Take?
Loved it.
My Window, which is the next song for me.
I love the fucking rain flip.
Mahalia went crazy.
Ari, Access Denied.
Y'all know that's one of my favorite.
I'm the only one.
So not mad at the flip.
Is that okay, Gloria Estevan, please?
Yes.
All right, great.
Dream, Queen Naja.
I've been trying my best not to hear anything Queen Naja's on,
but this worked.
I was going to say, I love that record.
No, I love this record, too.
Yeah, that shit is great.
And I have nothing against Queen Naja.
I like her, but I saw a wave of people trying to convince me of it for like eight months,
and I try my best to stay away when you do that.
Okay.
But I fuck with her, and she fucks with us.
Friend of the show, friend of the podcast.
She does fuck with us, and we fuck with them.
Rev Loser.
Joyce Rice.
Joyce Rice. That's friend of the show. Come on the podcast. She does fuck with us, and we fuck with them. Red Blossom. Joyce Rice.
Joyce Rice.
That's friend of the show.
Come on, man.
That's my people.
Come on, man.
And then Lucky Day, the project was so amazing that as the algorithm started algorithming
on my Joe Budden radio shit, I bumped into a whole bunch of other just new artists, maybe
songs I missed.
So I'm just throwing shit out there what the fuck is this
what is this who is i mean hold up who is win me over when a song starts like this who's
mooney long i don't know m-N-I. Long. Who is this?
You know if you're featuring Jacob Lattimore, I'm going to listen to it. And if you're sampling SWB Week, you got me.
And if I listen to this on Valentine's Day weekend when I plan to go to Pound,

And while I'm on all this fucking type of vibe,
I totally missed the Wizkid album

It's craziness.
Is this a music pod or what?
Why did I know about this stuff?
We didn't mention the Wizkid album?

It was four.
I was talking about volume one.
I'm talking about the first volume of Ready to Die. You four years old i let you get your shit off you're my
man it's cool but now you know you can still listen i'm not you didn't have to be there in
1994 you still listen to it yes you did no but it's available now i know i know it's crazy to
you but i can listen to it right now yeah but bne's ain't happening yes they are no they're
not yeah bne's ain't happening today like they was.
Yeah, no, definitely not like that.
Yeah, it's a different energy in the streets.
Niggas ain't getting their head bopped off like they was back then.
It's just different.
But anyway, listen.
We've talked about that on this podcast.
Music Soulchild is my man.
Hypocrites.
I've done a record with him that never saw the light of day.
That's my guy guy, and his catalog is ill.
He can't fuck with Tyrese.
Yes, he can.
Tyrese has a lot of records, though.
I never said he didn't.
And I get TGT.
I get Tyrese and TGT.
Okay.
Sorry, music.
By the time we get into that second 20.
The second 20?
We're doing 40?
Say Joe's name.
I mean, second 10.
Say Joe's name.
Music Soulchild is beating Joe.
All right, let's move on, man. Let's move on,
Rory. You got your R&B
hierarchy a little
fucked up.
Let me not say that because music is subjective. I just
disagree. I don't think he's taking care of Joe or
Tyrese. I didn't say
it was going to be a cleanup. Or Brian McKnight.
So who would you like to see in this?
All of the guys with his name.
And if he can't beat Tyrese, Joe, and Brian McKnight,
then who's left for music to battle?
No, don't disrespect music like that.
Below.
Don't disrespect music like that.
Yeah.
See, y'all disrespect me.
The fact that y'all think that Tyrese, Joe,
and what was the third one?
Music is in a tough spot.
I'm just cleaning music soul child up.
Have y'all ever listened to a music soul child song?
Yo, that's what music lovers always do.
We take that cleaning or the washing word and we stay there.
Stay here.
I'm not doing that.
I'm not backing off that hill.
I'm not doing that.
I'm just saying I think that those three would win against him.
You think Brian McKnight is being music social?
Basically don't even agree with you.
He's probably the one that I have guaranteed in the three, if you're asking me.
Yeah.
I love Brian McKnight.
Brian been out since 94.
His catalog is way.
And when did it end?
Get it to your shit, Joe.
Listen to that tenor.
Can I request back at one?
Hold up, hold up.
Hey, he hey before the hook come on.
Don't do that.
Get it.
Got it? He hate it before the hook come on. Don't do that. Get it. Because I never felt that way about nothing.
Where the keys at?
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
You heard Parks?
Listen to that tenor. Listen.
Smooth.
You can laugh with Parks.
I'll remind Rory that he was two when Martin proposed.
Now, Brian McNight is-
Brian came out the bushes.
And I never felt-
I threw this on a mixtape for sure in seventh grade.
Come on, Rory.
This was my shit.
This ain't even probably one of my favorite Brian records.
You can get into Brian's Christmas albums.
I mean, I wouldn't. Are you allowed to play Christmas? I but oh wait brian was on let it snow you gotta play let it snow
are you fucking kidding me it's snowing right now i'm done it don't gotta be christmas
wait brian was on i forgot when. See, Brian was out in the area
when they was forcing the R&B niggas
to make club records.
Mm-hmm.
So Brian still got our ill announcement.
If you don't want it, don't waste her time.
Come on, then you can get into that.
Yeah, Brian got joints, man.
Anyway, off of this.
What were we trying to talk about?
We were talking about versus friends.
Yeah, we're just naming friends.
We're naming the friends.
Yeah, Brian McKnight.
But I feel worried because I want music to go against somebody, but he's in a tough spot.
There is nobody.
He can't go against D'Angelo.
He can't go against who the newer niggas?
I thought Tyrese and Joe were good.
Do you think Maxwell shows up for the D'Angelo battle?
No.
No?
I think that's why it's friends.
I think that they approached him with that, and he was like, no, I'm cool.
Really?
Yeah, Maul's not lying.
Ducking the smoke?
We don't have to pretend like we knew what happened.
Yeah, no.
He asked Maxwell to do it.
They approached Maxwell to do it.
I believe Maxwell.
That shit was supposed to happen on Valentine's Day.
Yeah.
Maxwell dodged the smoke?
I mean, we don't know what happened.
He could be one of the friends.
No, he's not.
They're not friends.
It's going to say Maxwell's name up there.
There's so many hip hop opinions that we can never give in hip hop.
Like what?
Cute on the ledge.
Cute.
What?
Like what?
Yeah, why not?
Say them.
It's not a platform.
You say it, nigga.
You brought it up.
Is Maxwell running from D'Angelo?
No, I never said he was running.
Don't make Rory mad because Rory will get mad if we run with him.
No, Max.
No, absolutely not.
I fuck with Max.
Maxwell ain't running from nobody.
I think it's hard.
D'Angelo is our guy.
Is Maxwell running from D'Angelo?
No, I don't think so.
That's a good matchup to me.
I just think Maxwell
isn't at the worst stage
of his career.
I don't know.
Do y'all think,
because I agree with y'all,
do you think Maxwell
thinks it's a good matchup?
Yes. No. How good matchup? Yes.
No.
For him?
How could he not?
No.
Mad ways.
The same way all of these artists,
when somebody tries to punch up,
and I'm not talking about,
I don't know if that's punching up.
I'm saying if I'm Maxwell,
he probably views that
as D'Angelo punching up.
That's crazy.
No, it's not.
D'Angelo has a lot of classic records.
And he wrote a lot of shit.
And he was featured on a lot of classic records.
Y'all don't have to convince me.
I'm just saying Maxwell.
I think for Maxwell, he probably just the version.
I just don't think he's there yet to sit down and play his catalog across from another artist and try to make it seem like a bad.
I don't think he's with that.
I don't think it has anything to do personally with D'Angelo.
Who wins that if
it were to happen, Rory?
Judging by popular hits,
I think D'Angelo wins just because
more of his
records are to the masses.
More noticeable,
if you will. I don't think they're
popular, though. They're more popular,
but I don't think they're popular. D'Angelo doesn't be
more popular, yes. No, I don't think either of poppier. D'Angelo doesn't be more popular. Yes.
Yeah.
No I don't think either of them really
are pop records but
Maxwell has some
borderline pop.
Yo we can say it.
It's okay.
D'Angelo doesn't be
Yo we can love
somebody and say it.
No I love D'Angelo.
I think D'Angelo
wins to the masses
in a versus.
No.
I don't think so.
Really?
No.
I still think it's
a great matchup.
This woman's worth?
I hate when people
do that in verses. Just name a crazy record. Whenever. Like the other artists don't have crazy records. Well that's why I don't. This woman's worth? I hate when people do that in verses.
Just name a crazy record.
Whenever, wherever, whatever.
The other artists don't have crazy records.
Well, that's why I don't.
What I like to do is give me the guaranteed points from whoever we're talking about.
And for D'Angelo, for me, lady.
Brown Sugar, maybe.
Cruisin'.
No.
One of the Cruisins.
One of the Cruisins.
Devil's Pie against Maxwell is not a guaranteed point.
Nothing even matters is a guaranteed point.
Three.
Yes.
How does it feel as a guaranteed point?
No.
What?
Because when you play against Maxwell.
Not against Maxwell.
This is what I'm saying.
Not against Maxwell.
Because if he plays a good matchup,
untitled versus this woman's work. I'm saying. Not against Maxwell. Because if he plays a matchup, untitled first, this woman's work.
I'm not mad at that.
But if you play that, right, if D'Angelo plays that and he follows that,
this woman's work.
And one is a cover and one isn't, if we want to get technical.
All right, you know what?
Let's give it to you, Rory.
That's four.
And that's probably the extent of it for undeniable points for D'Angelo.
Something, something?
Maxwell.
Come on, man.
How does it feel?
Wait, and you said brown sugar wasn't a guarantee?
I don't think so.
We've learned from this.
It's all when and how you play the record.
How does it feel as a point, though?
It should be.
That's a point.
But if you play this woman's work,
I think that's a good matchup.
I think that could go either way.
When Maxwell got into that, whatever album it was, whatever two years it was where everything is going to be a better Kim record than Kim makes.
Like all of those gotta get to know you.
Y'all know the ones that sound like they should be Kim records, but
nah. Put the shit
back up, the Maxwell list, because it was a bunch.
Hold up. Luxury
Coco Cure.
Yeah,
that album.
Urban Hanksweet is a classic
classic. I love
Embryo. You kind of got to be a weird
R&B lover. D'Angelo is our It's going to be tough to deal with. You kind of got to be a weird R&B lover to really
embrace.
D'Angelo is our man,
but it's probably for the
best that Maxwell had a
gig that night.
I don't know.
D'Angelo has two of
those, though.
Yeah.
Two of what?
Two of those urban
hang speeds.
Two classics.
Yeah.
And people like
Black Messiah.
I was ever a Black Messiah fan
but the first two albums
are super classic
they're classics
no D'Angelo's that dude
Maxwell just has enough
classic material
on albums that might
not be considered classics
like Embryo
might not be a classic album
to the masses
Embryo to me is
me too
that album is incredible
me too
that's why I said
more noticeable records
like I don't know
how much he can play off
Embryo that is gonna to hit to a versus crowd.
To me, that shit will hit.
And hold on.
We just skipping over Black Summer Night?
That's a great album.
Look.
Pretty wins the point.
Pretty wins the point.
Skipping over Black Summer Night like it wasn't some shit on.
I don't know why we're trying to debate like this isn't a good battle.
That album was phenomenal.
I'm with you.
It was a great battle.
I just think that Maxwell
is just not with doing that yet.
He's not with the whole versus thing yet.
I don't think he's with that.
I'm hitting a round of applause
for Michael B. Jordan.
Is this an apology?
Or are we just clapping our hands?
It's a two for one shot.
You shot over 36 seconds left on the clock.
Okay. There's a few men that I just want shot over 36 seconds left on the clock. Okay.
There's a few men
that I just want to honor
right now during
Black History Month.
Is it because
Last Lap reopened?
I would never know that.
I'm not on their email list.
I can add you.
Please don't.
I'll text.
My bad.
I'll have them text you.
Light-skinned Keisha
right there, though.
He got off that fast.
Put the screen back.
This nigga.
This fucking guy.
Yo, who was I just talking about?
Michael B. Jordan.
Michael B. Jordan, man.
Listen.
I'll be the first one to say it.
Well, no.
A few other people have said it. I'll be the fourth one to say it. Well, no. A few other people have said it.
I'll be the fourth one to say it.
Do I believe any of this?
Not a shot in hell.
Believe what?
Nothing.
I don't believe none of it.
None of it.
None of it.
Do I care?
That's the answer.
Yeah, there we go.
There we go.
Don't stop me there.
It doesn't matter that I don't believe it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I haven't thought into it.
I don't believe that this is a thing.
Who cares?
Nobody cares.
Well, I have to care because of how I analyze things.
And Lori's just been too much of a G for me to believe that now you're just on this promo run.
I don't believe that.
You just did a promo run this weekend.
I have done promo runs throughout my career.
Lori Harvey has always been more gangster than I.
So I'm judging her by her gangster, not mine.
So I don't think any of this is real.
I also don't think any of that matters.
This is the best faking I have ever seen go on.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know.
Can y'all stop trying to corner Joe into a corner
and just let me finish my point
and then you guys can add a point.
I don't know that this is fake.
I think it's fake and I support it.
It is the best faking I've seen.
Hermes stock.
You got me some Hermes stock at an aquarium
so I can look at turtles
and my favorite animal
is a turtle
and my pet name
is turtle
she was on Entourage
man stop the tape
hold up
wait
stop the tape
how much dough
can it
what was the line
y'all don't know
that song
that's the only whole song y'all don't know.
The one that he did with Puff that only I love
that was on the Forever album.
Oh, what?
No.
Nobody loves that song.
Wait, bringing the bricks through BMI?
Listen.
That's that shit.
I'm in support of this fake shit.
I'm highlighting this man as a great black.
This is a great black man to fake this good i support it
and i hope it lasts all right i respect that give him his flowers give him his flowers on valentine's
day he's getting flowers for me he's killing this shit he's killing this shit whatever the point of
this is it's working on Joe. I support this.
Black man appreciation, number one.
Number two, and some more shit that Joe shouldn't be talking about at all,
but I have to because nobody else will, Nick Cannon.
What stocks he bought?
Don't put nothing on the screen.
You're always putting something on the screen.
Like his job, baby.
That's the fuck his problem is, more.
Always putting some shit on the screen to help us fucking articulate some shit. That's crazy for Scream to do that.
Don't do that again.
Nick Cannon, anybody?
Nobody wants to talk about it.
I didn't see what happened.
Of course you didn't.
Happened right underneath your fucking nose
it happened right underneath
what kind of stock seaboard
it was right here
it parks the whole time
you ain't even see it
so let me give it to you
a little dose
and I'm not expounding on it
I'm telling you what happened
and I'm moving on
because men
can't pay attention to this stuff
we're not supposed to be messy
or gossipy
or chitty chatty
but I'm just
this is fly shit.
I followed a young lady many years ago.
Sure.
No, this wasn't many years ago.
You know how you follow somebody and you don't know who they with?
Sure.
Listen, we just had boyfriend reveals.
We don't know who's with who.
So I followed this young lady.
Oh, Nick got revealed?
I followed her.
Let me tell this whole story, and then you can give me everything.
I want to give it to you straight.
I follow a young lady who was with Nick, and I didn't know, unbeknownst to me.
And then there was another lady that, while these two were together, kept saying,
Yo, that's my man.
And Nick was so ill that the person I followed said, No, it ain't. It's my man and nick was so ill that the person i follow said no it ain't it's our man
it's my man and your man i support him i'm not leaving him you shut up
bitch she didn't say that of course but okay so i'm just watching quiet then the person i
followed popped up and said i can no longer do this understandable happens to the best of us men sure so she left and now there was the girl
right the new girl and the new girl was pregnant the new girl got pregnant
so that's understandable you get somebody, you leave the old girl. But while the new girl was pregnant and then Nick got sick,
another girl posted a tattoo and said that she helped him through COVID
and she healed him.
And all of this is happening at the same time.
Cut that COVID.
Nobody on the internet has said one word.
And just when I thought I couldn't get crazier, right?
Because that was just two weeks ago.
Right.
That was Nick's tattoo, sick. She loved him. they always give like the illest diatribe ever he's the illest nick in the world and i'm jealous and then somebody else popped up pregnant with
twins listen man it takes a village two weeks later takes a village so he lost the original girl that I followed, but gained two baby moms and COVID bae in the process.
And no one has uttered a word about it.
Allegedly.
This nigga just still doing pull-ups in the garage.
He's still fucking doing the dips like this.
That's life for him.
This is life.
He out there still promoting shows.
This is life.
This ain't heavy for Nick.
He out there still promoting shows.
This is life.
This ain't heavy for Nick.
If this guy is not, he's still doing, what's the thing he does at Harvard?
Nick's Black Teachings.
Yeah, I think that's the title, Joe. Nick's Black Teachings.
I like that.
Come on, man.
Y'all know he's doing Nick's Black Teachings.
That's good branding.
Come on, man.
It's clever.
If this is not the illest guy in the world, I ain't even set a mention of Mariah yet. I haven't said nothing about Mariah Carey. Why would you? When there's a caveat. Yeah, yeah, man. It's clever. If this is not the illest guy in the world, I ain't even said a mention of Mariah yet.
Yeah.
I haven't said nothing about Mariah Carey.
Why would you?
When that's a caveat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on, man.
That's all I got, man.
We gave Nick his allowances a long time ago, though.
I know, but.
Nick been a legend.
But we gave it to him like he was Jeter walking away from the game.
He's still in it.
He's still active.
No, he's still winning.
Yeah.
It's still his.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You still got to beat him. He backed the cycle.
Oh, my God.
He's back up to bat again.
This guy's got to be stopped.
They took Wildin' Out for him, and he's still Wildin' Out.
Yeah, he's still Wildin' Out.
They can't stop him from Wildin' Out.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's deeper than that.
It's deeper than just a show.
Oh, I can see that.
It's real life.
Nigga was Wildin' Out without his man hollering him.
For sure.
Pull out for what?
Michael B. Jordan,
Nick Cannon,
those are my two honorary
Black Kings for Black History Month,
man.
Respect to the legends.
Oh, and Davis Chappelle.
Oh, why not?
Davis.
I don't know who Davis is.
This dropped the night
we recorded.
Redemption song.
I told y'all this was
happening monthss ago man
Yeah I'm glad it did though
True
And I like what Dave said
And he said
You know the dude
Up at Netflix
Is younger than he is
So it could've went bad
It could've been
A standoff where it was like
No we're not paying
We're not doing it
And he said it wasn't
No problem at all
No he didn't
He didn't say
The dude at Netflix
Hold up
Cause I wanna highlight that
He said the dude
At Viacom.
Okay, got you.
Chris McCarthy.
Yeah, Comedy Central.
And I want to highlight that because it's super important.
When I did my Love & Hip Hop deal in 2011 and 12,
with absolutely no leverage,
it was the most fucked up contract in the universe,
and according to Viacom, it was all standard.
Corey wasn't powerful enough to fight him, and neither was I.
We just signed it, and we were in a fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck deal.
Right?
Sure.
When they double back in 2017 or whatever year that is, they say, hey, we need you to do this show.
And I said, you got to be out your rabbit ass mind
to think y'all are approaching me this way.
So much would have to be different for this to occur.
I don't fuck with y'all.
I don't fuck with y'all.
Last time, I don't care what the standard is.
I was riffing, riffing, riffing.
But I was riffing to a new man.
It was Chris McCarthy.
OK, got you.
Who wasn't there.
And now he's a black guy at the head of Viacom.
And he realized that a lot of mistakes were made.
And he wants to write them.
Perfect.
That's what you need to get it done.
And he got it done.
Everything I asked, everything I requested, didn't matter what the standards were, what happened last time, who was there before.
None of it mattered.
He got it done.
So that's who he's big up and more.
And that's what he's saying.
Hey, this guy's younger than me.
So he wasn't there for some of the fucked up shit.
He fixed it.
And that's the same way I felt when he fixed some of that shit going on.
So I just want to shout out to Chris.
He's alluding that luckily that he was younger because he's part of the generation that's trying to change things rather than the older people that I want to do the standard contract that they have lived and died by.
I like the fact that he highlighted that.
That was really powerful for Dave Chappelle to highlight that.
You better believe it.
You better believe it.
Let me see.
I asked you to stop watching the show.
Thank God Almighty for you.
You did.
Pardon me.
You made that show worthless because without your eyes, it's nothing.
And when you stopped watching it, they called me.
I got my name back.
I got my license back.
And I got my show back.
And they paid me millions of dollars thank you very much if that's not showing a blueprint
of how things could and should be done if you have enough leverage and you work hard enough
and you walk away from the 50 mil and you wait however many years to get your your just due
then what else will like we in the era we in the day and age where you're watching creators move around and do shit.
Everybody's doing something different to monetize properly.
So there's enough blueprints for you is what I'm saying.
Like, you could do it this way.
You could do it that way.
You could do it this way.
There's mad different ways to do it as long as you do it.
I ain't talking to creators.
There's just so many excuses now about why you can't pod,
why you can't make a song, why you can't get to the studio,
why the video's not shot, why the song ain't on the radio,
why your crew ain't, why the shows, why the tour,
why this nigga excuses or results.
Like this was so powerful.
Because you need hope.
There needs to be an example that if done the right way,
things can be done the right way.
And we don't have enough of those.
Shout out to David Chappelle.
Shout out to Netflix.
I can't wait to see what the new show looks like.
I thought that it was obvious when this rant started that Netflix was coming back with the Chappelle show.
I'm glad that it's happening.
I can't wait to see it.
Chappelle is my favorite entertainer story, I think, ever.
Yeah.
To go through what he went through i think his
his production company was pilot boy because he had done a thousand pilots and they never got
picked up like chapelle didn't make it quote unquote make chapelle show was when he was like
what 33 maybe and we know chapelle to start comedy when he was fucking 15 right so he went ups and
downs caught a lick here and there, shot a movie
that's now a cult classic
but bombed at the box office
like half-baked,
was trash
when it came out.
It's a cult classic now.
Went on,
created the greatest
sketch show ever
for two seasons,
got to what he thought
he wanted to get to,
finally got it,
said,
I'm not doing this shit.
I don't care if you're
about to offer me
this much money.
Disappeared,
got called a fucking crackhead,
came back on his terms with his friends
took back all the bullshit from the Chappelle show that made him leave when he was at the
quote-unquote height it's the greatest thing I've ever seen yeah it's the greatest entertainer story
I like I like the fact that um you know again it just shows once the audience once the people
decide to come together on something for a cause the type
of change that it can manifest and that was important you know that when he asked us to not
stream it not watch it not click on it that the fans did and it worked it worked it worked stop
we stopped we didn't watch it we didn't support it on that platform and ultimately the creator
and the guy that we love got what he wanted and got what he deserved so came came back on his terms turned down that 50 million in 04 right got it 10 times
over moved to ohio like this is the greatest story of doing shit on your own terms when you know
you're correct no matter how long it takes legend legendary you know i don't think it gets much
better than this type of story from his era.
I think it'll get easier because of him and the bullshit he had to go through.
I like to see the success story of someone that's still very young and has a mad career ahead of him.
Yeah.
Thanks, Chappelle.
Thank you.
Appreciate you.
Legend.
Genius.
All of that.
More unfortunate news to get to.
Yeah. Very much so
Robert Mirage
Father of Nicki Minaj
Is killed in hit and run
He died in hospital
On Saturday
After being struck
On Friday evening
In Mineola, New York
On Long Island
Authorities said
This was just a really sad story
To hear over the weekend
Tragic
Absolutely
Super tragic
Praying for
Praying for Nick.
Whole family.
Yeah, this is Varth.
And they still don't have no suspects?
Because of the hit and run, obviously.
At the time I read it, they didn't have any, no.
Yeah, that's sad.
This ruins Valentine's Day forever for them.
For a family.
Yeah, life is for them now.
It's now always a reminder
of tragedy.
So, boy, is that sad.
The Nassau Police Department
said this homicide squad
was in there.
Well, they should have cameras.
They caught something.
I'm sure something.
Maybe, yeah.
Sometimes those smaller,
I don't know how big
Mineola is,
but it's not like New York City
where there's cameras everywhere.
But a lot of,
something I've been noticing, a lot of crimes and stuff that's happening in neighbors like like that especially
hit and runs a lot of people have uh ring cameras on their doors yeah and that's how they're finding
cars speeding through the block you know so hopefully they you know somebody comes forward
and yeah somebody is uh apprehended for this because this is tragedy just because of her
notoriety they reported on it right away.
I'm sure there's some investigation
where there is hopefully
some cameras around.
But they reported right away,
obviously, because Nicki is so famous.
Those ring cameras
need better resolution.
I know they're good
for when the block is small
or when the street is small.
It's like your person
is right up on the door.
Yeah, but when they stole my car out,
the cops were searching the neighbor's ring lights,
and it's too far to get anything.
The resolution is not the greatest.
But prayers to Nicki Minaj, her entire family.
Really unfortunate news this past weekend.
Yeah, absolutely.
More unfortunate news.
When I saw this post, i didn't take the time to
read it because i thought this was an anniversary post of something that happened of something that
happened a car accident this i got in but i read it today and this is just scary to read today uh
sahi says today is a day about love but in my city the city of atlanta there's no love here anymore
a couple nights ago there was an attempt on my life.
Someone tried to gun me down on the highway. I tried everything I could to lose them, but they were adamant about taking me off this earth.
They were shooting at me while I was driving. And even after my car flipped, hit a pole and crashed into a tree, they came back and shot the car up some more.
At this point, I don't know if it was a mistaken identity a robbery or associated with
with something that I hadn't wait I'm skipping lines at this point I don't know if it was a
mistaken identity a robbery or associated with something that I did when I was younger but I
haven't been in the streets in over a decade see that's the real scary part yeah I just want to
know why look at that that next line you never hear I love sign I just want to know why. Look at that. That next line, you never hear it. I love
sign. I just want to know why. And if there's anything I can do to fix the issue, I was born
and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and I have tremendous love for my city, but it's chaotic
out here. I'm trying my best to keep a level head, but when you don't know who is after you,
it's hard to wrap your mind around it and not be, and not be paranoid. By the grace of God, my Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, I'm still here. I just want to let the people know who were trying to kill me
that I'm not a bad person. I don't want revenge. I just want understanding and closure. So everyone
that's in Atlanta right now, please protect yourself, stay out of the way and be careful
because it could all be over in a split second. I understand there's a lot of beef going on in
my city between different crews that is fueled by by the music can you scroll screaming i can read
faster than that but it is time that we all have a sit down and have a peace meeting there are two
there are too many lives being lost over music i know i'm not the king of my city or anything
but the real leaders i won't say no names but you guys know who you are. You all are extremely blessed to have the careers that you have that you have and to be able to feed your family and loved ones.
It's time to stop the violence in Atlanta. I don't have all the answers and I definitely don't have the power to make it stop.
But I do feel like somebody got to step up and say something so much.
So much love to every artist, label, hustler and crew in my city. Please, let's resolve our problems, man.
We don't have to kill each other.
Shaking my head, thanks again, Atlanta.
I wrote this letter to y'all with tears in my eyes.
Really glad he's okay.
Word.
Yeah, I read that, man.
These pictures were...
That's terrifying.
Insane.
And to know that bullets were involved along with this car
crash makes it crazier to escape both of those things yeah so i'm glad sahai is blessed in that
capacity yeah this was uh this was one of the one of those moments you read something like this and
you see these pictures and then you know a guy Saha, he doesn't really put that type of energy out there,
like that violent, aggressive energy.
So for him to post something like this
and having dealt with something like this,
and then the words he was using,
like I just wanna understand and I don't want revenge,
I just wanna know why were y'all acting mean.
You know that feeling, yeah.
That's deep.
You just wanna know why was y'all shooting at me?
Why were y'all trying to kill me?
What did I do?
I have this conversation with people from Atlanta all the time.
I feel a way about living anywhere where it's open carry.
That's me.
Maybe that's because I've been in New York, from New York.
I just view situations differently when all of us here are allowed to show our guns.
For me, yes, I don't put this energy out there.
But it's about four different times where he speaks about the violence that's just been in the city having nothing to do with him.
Right.
So, I mean, there clearly is an energy that I'm hearing a few different people from Atlanta speak about.
That's Atlanta's business.
I don't really know what to say about it, but when you read these words from an artist that we love like Sahai,
it helps to put things into perspective.
When you look at some of the murders that we've seen,
when you just hear some of the people that we fuck with from atlanta talk about the energy out there right now listen i know atlanta's open i know i know it's chicks out
there niggas is going out there to get mixy the hookah lounge i understand that but you got to
understand a few other things as well and and that's all i'll say to that this guy's bentley
looks fucked up and it has to be nothing scarier than somebody shooting at you
on the road word yeah in a car yeah whether while you parked or moving you flip over and they still
trying to shoot at you yeah that sounds like a hit yeah it's not a ride I can understand where
his paranoia comes from absolutely yeah I need to know so I know if I could even go back outside
period word and can I squash it can I piece it up can I let you know that the nigga you might be
looking for is not me yeah right right but that's why I said his words Can I piece it up? Can I let you know that the nigga you might be looking for is not me?
Right.
But that's why I said his words was,
you know,
it just hit different
because it wasn't a revengeful tone.
He was really like,
fam,
why are y'all talking to me?
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
I just want to know,
understand what's going on.
I want to,
let's squash it.
Let's talk about it.
He's not talking from a revenge standpoint.
He's literally like, fam, why were y'all trying to kill me like i'm not even in the streets like
been minding my business as someone that loves hip-hop this has to this has to put you at a
fork in the road this has to conflict you like we love this shit so we in it and we understand
things that shouldn't be understandable because we're in it and our love for it but when you read
stories like this when
you look at pictures like this when you just witness some of the shit that we've witnessed
in the last year and change in hip-hop it'll challenge you it'll it'll challenge it'll
challenge you and your moral compass i'll say that yeah and as. And as I age and get older, I find that happening a lot.
Actually, over the news, just this week, y'all know I'm mental health, man.
It ain't too many guys that are more willing to die on the mental health hill than me.
And on the news, they're talking about 21, it was stabbings in New York.
Stabbings.
A dude running around stabbing people on the train station.
Oh, yeah yeah A train specifically
Yeah
Yeah man
Can you
Man now I don't ride the train
But imagine just being on a train
Sleep
Cause that's what we used to do
On a train
Sleep
Somebody just come up to you
And start stabbing you
Two of those people
Lost their lives
Two people died
A third was rushed somewhere
They found the guy
It's a 21 year old kid
My heart wept
Damn near cried watching the news
21 years old
Running around This is what you're doing.
Takes me to mental health.
Now what side of the fence do we fall on?
Are you mental health man or are you, hey, people shouldn't stab people on the train?
It's okay to be both.
Yeah, it's okay to try to tackle mental health before it gets to this point.
No, it's not.
That's not the country we live in.
We're not able to compartmentalize our compassion.
Like, nobody's running around saying R. Kelly's a victim too.
That's not where we are.
No, I'm saying that if we did focus on it, we could maybe get to him before this event happens.
They said the guy was homeless.
this event happens?
They said the guy was homeless.
Got me to thinking about all the mental health
people
that could be homeless, that are
just doing whatever they need to do, going through
whatever they need to, whatever they're going
through, trying to survive
on the street.
That's something that hasn't changed. As I
watch these docs from the 70s and 80s
when they're turning hotels into residential spaces.
Did you watch the Cecil Hotel thing?
Gonna get into that next.
Yes.
I watched it as well.
Yeah, actually, in there they did it.
In the Reagan shit, in the Reagan doc,
they were clearing shit out for the homeless
to live residentially somewhere.
Actually, I've seen that in a lot of docs.
I didn't know that that was such a common thing.
Me either.
But it's here.
So that really, really, really saddened me.
I was happy that they caught the guy and got him off the street,
but it led me to just down the long road of either homeless people
that have killed or have been killed at the hands of mental health
in our country not really paying enough attention
or doing enough about it.
So they're going to throw this kid in jail, and that's going to be it.
It's not going to be rehabilitation right it's not gonna be nobody's
paying money for you to go to a therapist or a psychologist or to put you where you need to be
right cool right moving on now moving on because we get conflicted about things and
i'm gonna talk about this again because none of y'all are
but it's important and i not going to expound too much.
Transgenders.
Transgenders.
On Instagram.
I'm having this conversation because it's an important conversation that should be had in hip hop.
Same way I was split between the mental health shit and we all listen i know where
everybody's hearts lie in this room so i know that we all cool with everybody identifying with
and how ever they need to identify right but in this instagram era y'all know what's going on in
the dms we meeting up we linking we doing xyz so forth and so on right that's happening there's a
culture of that happening yeah there's also a culture of transgenders doing that.
Yeah, I'm sure.
On Instagram, I wasn't sure.
I didn't know.
It's not my world.
I don't pay attention to it.
This isn't a joke that became a joke.
What happened to Young Buck?
When it hits my radar, again, remember in the stock shit,
I was like, I love when information trickles down
and hits people that shouldn't know about it.
Same thing here.
I don't have any business knowing about any transgender stuff at all but in hip-hop this could get dangerous real fast
my conversation i had with uh i think that was carmen on couples therapy we were in a pool and
she was talking about hey i like that's my right to share something or not share it
and it's where it gets tricky it's where fork. That's where it's a fork in the road.
Now, I'm talking about people
that have gotten the surgery.
So you're not going to know.
There's no dick. There's no nothing.
But there are
straight men in hip-hop
that are actively sleeping with people
without all the information.
Straight men, period.
It doesn't have to be a hip hop thing.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
I remember back in my dating app era,
it was very common to like come across a beautiful person that you've swiped
right on.
Now you're having a conversation.
You find out later that they're trans and you're like,
Oh,
I'm not,
that's not my thing.
No disrespect.
Listen,
Carmen was beautiful on the Couples Therapy Show
a few years ago
a few years ago
on Twitter.
I forgot her name
but it was a famous transgender.
She was beautiful too.
I remember that picture.
That picture is circulating.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Listen,
it'd be beautiful
and I'm not having this conversation
for the people
that are pansexual,
homosexual
or attracted to that
whatever
attracted to them not that because this is sincere.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not talking about y'all.
But boy, it's going to be bad when some of these niggas
start finding shit out as we move in and stepping.
That's all I'm going to say, because it's not my place.
But it is happening.
Yeah.
I'm saying this to the women, too.
Hold up, Rory. Let me say this to the women too hold up rory let me say this to the women too because women are traveling with women knowing things about the women and not
divulging that in your circles it could get bad you could potentially get someone killed
or hurt or kidnapped or something.
Embarrassed or any number of things.
Well, that's where the violence comes because the man is embarrassed.
Joe loves all.
Joe has love for all.
And it's just not good to play with people's reality like that.
You know what I mean?
You should tell somebody that.
You should give them that because you don't know if they don't subscribe to that.'t subscribe to that if i had surgery i wouldn't tell somebody either probably why not though i just
think it's a safety thing i might i might feel like it's none of someone's business
i might feel like that i think if you're sleeping with somebody you should definitely
give them information about what your natural gender is. Well, people... Why?
I'm not asking that.
No, I'm just saying.
I'm saying when I've had this conversation
with transgender people,
they say, well, why do I need to do that?
Yeah, absolutely.
I disagree.
I just think it's a straight-up safety thing.
I mean, I disagree.
I don't have the space to disagree.
But what I'm saying is
straight people sleep with each other all the time
without divulging certain shit
about their sexual history,
their fucking STDs,
what they're saying,
what they're texting,
what I'm saying.
They should give that information as well.
So if I'm transgender,
I mean,
and I view it that way,
then what is the difference?
I'm not having that argument with you guys.
I'm just saying I understand
how someone could feel like,
no, I'm not telling you.
I'm not saying they have
to announce it to the world and put it on their instagram and all of that but if you're not being
in intimate settings with somebody one-on-one you should absolutely give that person that
information i'm not saying you have to run around and tell the world and yeah i'm trans i'm you
you you're able to i mean be who you are be proud of who you are i'm not i'm definitely a fan of
that but when you talk about getting intimate with somebody now you should absolutely give them
that information like hey listen i understand we vibe when we're feeling each other i just
think i should let you know that i was born whatever you know i'm saying like i just think
you should tell that person that i think that person has that right to know that i think they
do i don't even know what's a right again i I just think I know the real world. Nigga might call you a liar.
I just know the real world and how men may react, and that woman or man could be harmed.
Yeah, but now imagine if you go ahead, go forward with sex.
I'm not saying that's right.
I just live in the real world.
You're talking about speaking before sex.
Yes.
I'm saying, so Matt, you're saying somebody would be mad before even having sex with this person.
I can see that.
So imagine now if you don't tell this person
This information
They could be really
Really upset
This is all I'm saying
You know what I mean
Just tell
Listen I live in the real world
That's all I'm saying
And it's a safety thing
For transgender people to me
To not tell
No
That it should be
Brought up
Before sex
Have the conversation
For a safety reason
I'm with you
Because men
And people period
Are fucking nuts And it's just not good To play with somebody's reality Like that Like you know. I'm with you. Because men and people, period, are fucking nuts.
And it's just not good to play with somebody's reality like that.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
If somebody's heterosexual and they feel like they're laying down with a person of opposite sex.
Now, when you're trans, you identify as that.
But we're talking about what your original birth gender is.
I think people should, you should tell people that information.
I agree.
Listen,
I wish the whole world
would just accept everyone
for who they are,
but I'm in the real world.
That's why,
that's another reason
why you should tell
because it's like,
be who you are.
I didn't mean to take us down
this very serious trip.
I don't even think
we're the pod
that should discuss it.
No, but we're men
and we can come into
these situations.
But I thought it needed
to be discussed.
Yeah.
There was too many people saying too many things
from different places.
Right.
That's it.
That's it.
Yeah, but no,
that's why I said it.
You should absolutely
have that conversation.
Please just be careful.
Especially if you're
in an intimate
one-on-one type of
setting or vibe
with this person.
And everybody,
and this is not just
a transgender
conversation during these intimate link-ups we should all be careful with showing our addresses
getting with strangers letting strangers in our house or going to their houses not knowing if
people are certifiably nuts and psycho not knowing if people are obsessive have abandonment issues
if people have nothing better to do
than ruin your life for the next few years.
Like, we don't know nothing about nothing.
And we just out here.
So I want to encourage everybody to just,
you know what I mean, move right.
Move right out there, that's all.
Sorry, guys.
No, agreed.
And even when we brought up straight people
not saying their sexual history, STD,
last time you got checked, all that,
yeah, you should.
Yeah. It's not a transgender thing.
It's just an everyone fucking thing.
I've heard stories of people
going to a girl's house and
finding out after intercourse that
they had herpes or something.
That's crazy to not
divulge that information.
Yeah.
Very much so.
And with that said,
we finally got a
Justin Timberlake apology.
No, not for man in the woods.
Not for man in the woods.
He didn't apologize for that art?
Not, not, not at all.
He apologized for,
they was on his ass.
They was on his ass.
He said he didn't see
the Britney doc, right?
No.
You should watch it.
What network?
Hulu.
It's a New York Times.
Hey, Hulu.
I haven't even opened Hulu.
No, I got some shit on there.
They do.
And I saw a great review.
So the Britney doc.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Yeah, I got to watch that.
Actually, matter of fact, I might do that.
I think it's only an hour.
So it's not like a long watch.
Got you.
HBO's back with some Woody Allen shit.
Creeper.
Four part doc.
I'm hype.
I'm hype. I'm hype.
We'll get to TV after this.
And while we're on,
will we?
Oh yeah,
there's TV to get to.
Your honor.
All right,
apology.
Yeah,
I'm not reading this shit.
I'm not doing that.
Why not?
I'm not doing that.
You read it.
That's your guy.
You read it.
All right.
I've seen the messages,
tags,
comments,
and concerns.
I was going to say,
just that first sentence is hilarious. What? Come on, he's telling you what and concerns. Stop right there. I was going to say, just that first sentence is hilarious.
What?
Come on, Mom.
He telling you what he saw?
Mom, tell the truth.
And I want to respond.
I am deeply sorry for the times in my life when my actions contributed to the problem
where I spoke out of turn or did not speak up for what was right.
I understand that I fell short in these moments and in many others and benefited from a system
that condones misogyny and racism.
I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, both individually,
because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed.
I also feel compelled to respond in part because everyone involved deserves better.
And most importantly, because this is a larger conversation that I wholeheartedly want to be part of and grow from.
The industry is flawed. It sets men, especially white men, up for success. It's
designed this way. As a man in a privileged position, I have to be vocal about this. Because
of my ignorance, I didn't recognize it for all that it was while it was happening in my own life,
but I do not want to ever benefit from others being pulled down again. I have not been perfect
in navigating all of this throughout my career.
I know this apology is a first step
and doesn't absolve the past.
I want to take accountability
for my own missteps
in all of this
as well as be part
of a world that uplifts
and supports.
I care deeply
about the well-being
of the people I love
and have loved.
I can do better
and I will do better.
Signed sincerely,
Man in the Woods.
Signed, sealed, delivered. He's yours. I'm writing this in the woods Signed, sealed, delivered
He's yours
I'm writing this from the woods
So what you said Corey
That's a white privilege at it's best
Well yeah
He kinda alluded to that
He understands the white privilege
In America
Did he understand it
The last 12 years
Yeah he did
Or was this a new epiphany
That him and the Biebs had? No, he did.
And I'm pretty sure there's an album
coming soon.
He was getting some heat from the Britney
doc, I'm sure. In every Super Bowl,
he gets heat. These white
Justins. I have not heard a Bieber
song the same since.
Yeah, I haven't heard a Bieber
song since. He ain't put
out heat like he did with
All I Wanted You and all that but still
does he go crazy
in the Britney doc or something
it's it really just kind of
tells the story of her
the way that the world kind of treated her
and he was kind of
a piece of shit at the time like she was
publicly saying hey protect my
virginity or whatever
and then he goes on a radio show
like, yeah, beat.
I should edit my laugh.
The way you said it.
White privilege.
White privilege.
We're not doing that.
We're not editing your laugh.
That's not where we are.
White privilege.
Yeah, beat.
I mean,
that's what he said.
I mean, you know,
he was young
To be fair
Yeah
He was young
He was a young man
But I mean
I like Justin
I can't say nothing bad about him
That album was terrible
But
I like him
I do too
And I gotta watch that doc
Now that y'all say
This is all connected
Yeah
I'm so glad I don't
Separate the music
From the people
Like I got Maris already I people. Like, I got mirrors already.
I got bye-bye-bye.
I got gone.
I'm cool.
Do you do that now?
I got suit and tie.
Yeah, but unless you do some real piece of shit things.
I feel like we've had that conversation.
We've talked about Tom Brady and other artists.
Yeah, me too.
We've talked about Tom Brady and music artists as well,
where you said you couldn't
disconnect the artist
from the person
or the athlete
from the person
oh that's not the point
I'm making here
that's true
that's true
because I feel like
you said that
I'm saying
like
once I get the music
from you
then I'm cool
what if you drop
some fire tomorrow
yeah
now that you have
more information
that would be different
I don't know
and I gotta say
like I know
it's 12 years too
late but at least
it's something.
Yeah.
And then again I
don't he didn't he
didn't do anything.
Thanks Mark.
I think that that
was that was
incredibly insane.
Like he didn't do
no wild shit he
have going on radio
and said he had
sex with Brittany
when she told him
not to like put
that information out
there.
No.
Shouldn't have done
that.
But he was young.
What were they like 19 at the time?
They were teenagers.
Yeah, something like that.
Early 20s maybe.
He left niggas out too dry.
You can understand that.
I'm not rolling.
But like somebody like dude.
I'm not rolling.
What you saying?
Maul come on in
and be the main person.
He's canceled forever.
He's our spokesperson
when it comes to protect women.
Maul.
About what?
Not letting him get that off
with this guy
who failed to do so for 12 years and
just recently said oh i see the message man get the fuck out of here yeah but no but that
fuck but that wasn't that wasn't this isn't something that's like a celebrity relationship
no it's not about that this isn't something that's like that's just shit he didn't do no
wild crazy shit really though okay like he's he said that he was having sex with his girlfriend
when maybe she didn't
want that to be out there.
Well, that's what I was asking
because I don't really
remember the Britney.
I remember they were dating.
I don't remember
what happened bad.
I wasn't paying attention
to that.
Of course,
I remember the Janet thing.
That's what I'm saying.
What happened in the doc?
I'll have to watch it.
I don't know how toxic
their relationship was.
I didn't pay attention.
No, it wasn't that crazy.
It wasn't that crazy, honestly.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
I don't remember it being that crazy. I'll have to watch the doc to get more, I guess, behind the scenes details about their relationship was. I didn't pay attention to it. No, it wasn't that crazy. It wasn't that crazy, honestly. Well, that's what I'm saying. I don't remember it being that crazy.
I'm going to have to watch the doc to get more, I guess, behind the scenes details about their relationship.
I guess the thing with the Britney thing is that it may or may not have led to the spiral
that led to Britney's whole life being controlled by her father who was never around when she was a kid.
And she can't get out of her, what do they call that shit?
Conservative ship.
Where other people are basically running her what do they call that shit? Conservative conservative ship where like other people
are basically running her life
because they said she was crazy
because
the Janet shit
they both planned
they both were a part of
the
coordinating
it
that was going to be my next thing
and then it happened
and she got banned
and put under all the scrutiny
in the world
for the next however many years
and he went on
a continuous career and performed a two-bowl, even.
Okay.
If it's cool with you, it's cool with me.
Don't worry about it.
So he's canceled for that?
I'm not telling you to cancel.
I don't fuck with him.
Okay.
I'm not telling y'all who to cancel and who to not cancel.
But no, but you said I'm the guy that goes to bat for, like, protecting women and all that.
Like, I just don't see where he was in a position where he didn't protect a woman.
Got it.
The women will explain it to you, not me.
What else we got?
You just said they planned that.
What are you talking about?
Got it.
Listen, the women will talk to you.
It's not my place.
You feel how you feel about Justin.
I do need a little bit more education on the Jada thing too, though.
That's all I'm saying.
I don't see where he was wrong in that.
Maybe he didn't come out and say,
yeah, we planned this together
and whatever, whatever.
But it's like, okay,
I'm sure when that happened
or they planned that.
He didn't say anything in support of it.
I'm sure when they planned that.
He didn't say one word.
They both knew like this could backfire.
Oh, well, shut up.
No, you shut up.
Nigga, you don't think
that they had to talk about that?
They wouldn't both know
that this could backfire?
You don't think Janet knew that?
No.
Now you shut up
if you think Janet didn't know that. I don't think that. Okay't both know that this could backfire you don't think janet knew that no now you shut up you think janet didn't know that i don't think that okay i know you think janet had
an inclination that what ended up happening would happen when she played that's what you say her
nipple was exposed on the biggest event on television that it could backfire i think janet
jackson absolutely knew that got it and i think she didn't give a fuck. Got it. That's what I think.
Let the woman talk to you.
Let him talk to you.
I know what I'm talking about.
What else we got?
You want to do TV?
Let's go to TV.
Let's do some TV.
Well, quickly, let's start with,
you guys did watch the hotel Cecil.
I did.
I did. Because we were talking about mental health.
Yo, man.
What was my guy's name?
In the Cecil Hotel?
Your guy?
Nah, the guy that they tried to,
the heavy metal guy that they pinned it on
ruined his whole life.
Oh, I forgot his name.
Matt, damn, Menace or something like that?
Fuck.
Something like that.
He had some fire, though.
Morbid.
Morbid.
Morbid had some joints.
But the video he put out,
like, trying to say it wasn't me,
it was like, fam, come on.
He said, this is morbid.
This is a spoiler alert. I didn't do it. Yeah, He said, this is morbid. This is a spoiler alert.
I didn't do it.
Yeah, like, it's like, fam.
This is a spoiler alert.
Come on, come on.
Like, cut it out.
We're telling you the movie now.
No, we're not.
No, not really.
Oh.
No, we're not.
But it was good, though.
If you didn't see this doc, it's a hotel Cecil.
We can't talk much about it if we don't spoil anything.
Morbid dude was foul.
No, he wasn't.
Did you see it?
Yeah, I don't think he seen it.
I saw it.
So how was he found?
He didn't do nothing but stay at the hotel a year before.
And they killed him and ruined his career and made him attempt suicide because he was so depressed.
He was nowhere around when that shit happened.
So y'all bought his explanation.
There's paperwork showing where that is.
It was a fact.
Passport is stamped.
He didn't even explain himself.
And he was in Mexico at a recording studio the night that that shit happened.
Right.
Oh, no.
I don't think he did it.
Oh, you said he fell.
Yeah, he is fell.
I thought he was trying to get a little Tekashi shine out the situation.
Nah.
Oh, well.
Fam.
I didn't like his video.
You shot a video where she died.
But he does that settle.
You made it before.
They found that.
Yeah, they found it.
They didn't even know about the case.
Well, he made a new song after she died.
No, he didn't.
I killed you. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. I killed you.
No, he didn't.
That was his catalog.
That was his catalog.
Now you're being Takashi.
Yeah, he had four albums
like that before.
Now you're lying
and making up narratives.
All right, so y'all felt him
when he was like,
and now we're really
spoiling shit,
but y'all felt him
when he was like,
morbid is my inner thoughts
acting out.
Yes.
I can be and do anything.
I think rappers do that.
Yeah.
And he was doing that before this happened.
And all the records they said were confessions
were before he even knew what the case was.
Get him off the streets.
Shout out to Maura.
He didn't do shit.
Get him out of here.
He did nothing.
Clean up the neighborhood.
I didn't like when he was doing his makeup on camera.
I was with him.
Yeah, get him.
Yeah, nah, that's fucked up.
The YouTube people are going to find somebody
that they need to arrest.
Yeah, this was good.
He was an innocent man.
Nah, but that, listen, man.
I know he was talking about the hotel Cecil
being the portal to hell, and that's the weird shit,
but he was also talking about the internet,
and I thought he got on some double entendre shit. The internet is the portal to hell and that's the weird shit but he was also talking about the internet and I thought he got on some double entendre shit.
The internet is the portal
to fucking hell.
It might be actually.
All these fucking
YouTube investigators
who think they're police
and just start
trying to ruin people's lives.
Yeah.
Rest in peace
when Pop Smoke died
and they went after his friend
all in his comments
and said his friend did it.
He's the killer.
Can y'all shut the fuck up
for a second?
Yeah, that was crazy. Stop doing this to people yeah it's crazy yeah it is and then when
the facts come out y'all don't say a word right no quiet anytime the internet accuses somebody
of something and then the facts come out that person never gets a gets an apology no word they
just move on to the next person that they want to victimize exactly it's fucking nuts it is yeah
this documentary was good though it was good it definitely could have been two episodes
but it's fine
I like how they tied it in
to the night stalker
yeah
like he used to stay there
yeah
I see how they tied it
they dragged this shit man
they dragged it
they dragged it
I'll say from
they did drag it
they dragged it
this will be a
I guess
don't spoil it
please don't
don't spoil it
please don't
don't kill us for this
okay
I won't say what it was
but when I watched the trailer
and they said
what it was in the trailer I didn't need to see the rest of it.
I've been around two people that have that, and I could identify that right away as someone that's not a clinical doctor.
Yeah.
We could see it from the footage.
The whole time, and you know I'm a conspiracy theorist and I believe in ghosts.
I was with all the theories
they were coming up with
but in the back of my head I said,
yeah, I know what the real deal is right now.
I've been around two people that do this.
Great doc though.
It was a good doc.
It was a good doc.
Now this doc, Lady and the Dale,
Lady and the Dale.
That's the one.
Joe, you were talking about this one.
That's the one.
That's the one.
I gotta watch this. None of these other docs are even. That's the one. I got to watch this.
None of these other docs are even important,
but you don't know that until you watch this.
And I watched this just because I watched all the other ones already.
I was like, you know what?
HBO, it's a car.
Where can it go?
I like cars.
So Lady and the Dale is on HBO Max.
And this is about a man
who wanted to
revolutionize
the automobile industry
with a three wheel car
in the 70s
late 60s
70s
somewhere around there
and the thinking was
that
the lighter the car
the less gas
the car needed
more affordable
the thinking back then
was this is when I guess neil armstrong had just
went to the moon recently um and automobile or the automobile industry along with other people
were trying to figure out how that tech could be implemented into regular shit that's the
explanation they gave got you so i thought i was watching a doc. I watch American Greed, so I'm
with white people coming up with scams.
I thought I was watching a white dude
come up with a scam about
cars. Couldn't
be more wrong. I don't even know what this
is about. Like, every time I thought that it
was about one thing, it switched to something else.
So they built a three-wheel car.
They never built one for it to go.
They just built the model
put it in all
the car shows
sold mad of them
and then they had
to make one
and then when they
got to make it
they realized
nigga we can't
make this shit
hey
hey but shorty
oh wait
cause the dude
that came up
with the idea
he had a sex change
okay
he didn't want
to be a man anymore
so now he was a woman and. Okay. He didn't want to be a man anymore.
So now he was a woman, and he was running a scam,
but apparently he had another scam before this car shit that he disappeared from.
They couldn't figure out where he was,
so they busted him.
Yeah, because he changed his shit.
Right.
So they busted him, and then they had him,
and then it was a trial,
and then the juror that was going to lean toward him,
I'm telling the whole shit let me not do that.
Anyway
long story less long
this lady had a bunch of scams
and after the car shit
she had about five more
for their head tops
and they had to go
and try to find her
throughout the country
and this is four episodes of this.
Really three
because the first episode
don't even count.
The first episode
is them just telling you about
her family.
Yeah,
set you up.
And you're like,
you're like,
the fuck's your family?
Matter of fact,
how come my car is four wheels?
Yeah,
exactly.
Man,
by the time they got to episode two,
this shit was lit,
lit,
lit.
I'm going to watch that.
I love that scam story.
Oh yeah,
after the McMillions doc.
Oh, and matter of fact, speaking of scammers,
Scream Man, can you pull up Shorty's name
that just got out of jail?
She was the Soho scammer.
The Soho scammer.
No, no, no.
The Claremont twins.
How niggas let them two keep scamming,
I still don't know.
I'm about to say, they still going.
I don't know how.
I saw a pic the other day, and they was cute.
I was like, oh, shit.
Oh, no, the Soho Grifter.
Oh, shit.
All right, so the Soho Grifter, or however you pronounce that shit.
Yeah, Grifter.
So Shorty.
Oh, he was grifting, bitches.
No, it's a girl.
It's a white woman.
Oh, she was grifting, bitches.
She scammed the shit out of everyone in Soho.
She was running with all the 1% people.
She was staying in every luxury hotel Not paying a fucking bill Nothing whatever right
Yeah
Shorty got out of jail
Like last week right
And went right back to Soho
And walked into the Sephora store
And stayed there for three hours
Yeah
White privilege
Yeah
That's what that sounds like
And then sold her script
To Netflix
White privilege
There you go
My black ass would've did that shit
And walked to Sephora It'd have been so much police out. White privilege. There you go. My black ass would have did that shit in Welcome to Sephora. There'd have been so much
police out there.
White privilege.
Alright, before we get to
everyone's thoughts on the Your Honor
finale.
And we're going to spoil it. Go watch it.
This one I'm not
going to talk about.
It just happened. Okay, watch it.
That's it. Your Honor. Your Honor. Your Okay. Watch it. That's it. Your Honor.
Your Honor.
Your Honor.
Your Honor.
Your Honor.
I loved it.
I loved it.
They tried to sneak some COVID shit in.
Really?
I loved it.
No.
I didn't love it.
I didn't love it.
I loved it.
I didn't love it.
And I be looking
at kill endings.
I didn't love it,
but I didn't hate it.
Okay.
Oh, that's over.
Yeah.
But I don't...
But they were supposed
to be there.
I didn't love it, though. No? No. I didn't love it. I didn't want to see no more Yohana. I think this is it. Oh, that's over. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't... But it was supposed to be there from the beginning.
I didn't love it, though.
No?
No.
I didn't love it.
I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
Y'all keep talking.
Y'all keep talking.
It left a lot of storylines unanswered, I guess.
Is that why you didn't...
What storylines were unanswered?
What happens to the whole black mob and the kid that now shot yeah exactly it was
just similar to the night of back to the cycle right his brother was in his brother got fucked
by it he tried to get revenge for it is gonna get fucked for it again he was trying to shoot
the person that killed again spoilers yeah that actually killed his brother ended up killing the
person that was fucking them over in the long run.
So there was some type of vengeance of people to get fucked by the system.
I hate to get in the metaphor bag, but I think that is what Adam was, is the metaphor of the person that always gets off on everything.
Yeah.
And yeah, no, we're shooting him in the neck this time.
I think there was some type of resolution the way the night of where there wasn't where the system just went. to get away with the shit.
He was trying to turn himself in.
Adam is a fucking sociopath.
He is a sociopath.
Adam is the sickest character
on that TV show.
Absolutely.
And it's not even close.
Absolutely.
I'm not arguing that part.
As fuck.
And I don't know that Adam
wasn't trying to kill that kid
when he put his fingers
in his mouth.
Just saying.
He became a sociopath
the entire show.
Well, yeah, I always thought
that was a little weird to me.
He was cleaning his passageway
trying to get in.
Yeah, but still, just call an ambulance. Call the cops. Well, yeah, I always thought that was a little weird to me. And then y'all, well, he was cleaning his passageway trying to get in. Yeah, but still,
just call an ambulance.
Call a cop.
No, at least night of,
the shit went in circles.
This is the system.
This is how it was going to be.
At least the metaphor
of the system fucking somebody
got shot in the neck and died.
Some resolution.
I hated the night of ending.
Yeah, this yonder ending to me
was, I thought it would have been
a little
this tell me it might be season 2
I don't think there is
I disagree with Corey
I don't think
I'd like to see season 2
after this
I would definitely watch
I loved it too
if it don't come back
I loved it
I didn't love it
I didn't love it
I didn't hate it
but I didn't love it
they left it open
for them to come back
and it be on
I think it's coming back oh it can definitely the back and it be on i think it's coming back
definitely the story can definitely keep going i think it's coming but i'm i'm cool i don't think
i don't think they look at those ratings i'm clocked out and be like yeah end it now and and
how they closed it up where the judge was gonna be fine like they they cleaned up all that shit
at the end like yo i just need him to good. I just need him to be good.
The judge could continue to be a judge.
He just has to explain why he's there,
but his wife was murdered,
now his son was murdered.
He's going to be the fucking mayor of the city too.
I thought that ending was really beautiful.
For the judge to be over his kid
the way his kid was over the kid.
I just thought it was poetic.
It was beautiful.
It was poetic, for sure. I loved it. It was a little bit on the nose but yeah i didn't love it
but i didn't hate it i see with the full like way too full circle it was a little too on the nose
but i like that that shorty never found out that her boyfriend killed her brother and was still
yeah i thought that was kind of cool you You thought... What's the mafia guys?
The bosses.
Baxter.
You thought he was smiling?
Oh, the end?
Yeah, when he was holding his daughter?
Yeah, he was smiling.
Okay.
I had that debate.
No, he was smiling for sure.
Hell yeah, he was smiling.
Oh, that's just one of the faces
he always had throughout the season.
True.
It was like, you know,
he about to do some crazy shit.
It's like a sinister laugh or sinister smile.
I shouldn't be smiling, but I am.
It was that kind of vibe.
This kid, the bad brother got caught up too easy on the stand for me.
If there was one thing that I felt could have been different,
the family was too gangster for the kid to get caught up that easy.
Yeah, but he was a knucklehead.
No, but he was an asshole.
He was trying to get caught up that easy yeah but he was a knucklehead but he was an asshole yeah he was trying to get caught up anyway and and he was the privileged under yeah
you had your attorney on your side you had your the judge on you you had mad shit on your side
you were still stupid enough to get up there and say he walked out didn't he yes well it was the
cocky arrogant like in my head i was like yeah do i have to go back to that episode i don't think
it went like that but that's why I'm saying
he was white.
His father was who he was.
They got the judge in pocket already.
That's why he was on the stand
calling the other lawyer a cunt
and all that
because he knew,
I'm good.
The judge is on my side.
The inconsistency was
that the lawyer would have allowed that
because them revealing
the end of that video,
his lawyer would have had.
His lawyer wouldn't have let him say that.
That was the only inconsistency in this show
that I was like, all right, that's too obvious
because his lawyer would have had that video footage.
You're revealing that to the jury and everyone else.
You have to give that over to the defense.
Also, let me just give power a little bit of credit.
A little bit of credit.
Please don't.
You mean to tell me that that little kid, the little fat black kid,
watched the judge jog to his door, watched the house get blown up,
watched mad people die, grabbed a gun, snuck into private party,
and just was way off on the target?
This kid is in Desire, right?
That's a gang.
He was with the tough accountant lady.
He was the accountant.
He was the accountant.
He was trying to get them out.
Yeah, he wasn't a shooter.
And those little guns are very inaccurate.
Yeah, he wasn't.
And who chose that gang name?
Sound like a male stripper.
Sound like a female stripper.
You're never going to New Orleans again, buddy.
It's fictional, Parks.
I just thought that he should have hit the person.
He did.
No, he didn't.
No, he hit the right person.
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You like him.
No, but he didn't.
No, no, no.
And the little derringers are not accurate.
He didn't hit the right person.
Yes, he did.
No, he didn't.
He hit the person that eventually got his brother killed.
No.
No, I don't see.
I don't view it like that because he didn't mean to kill his his and after nothing the
baxter kid killed his brother so he's supposed to kill him he's supposed to that's who that's
who should have got and i'm saying the ball doesn't lie he could have been aiming for the
baxter kid but hit the kid that really did it he's just a victim of this no i'm not rolling
cory enough of you we can't hear you on the mic.
That's annoying to people.
Corey was saying that the Baxter kid was a victim of it too,
and I agree with him.
Nah.
I thought it was great.
Sorry if we spoiled it for you.
Put a mark before the spoiler alert so everybody didn't see it. Put a mark so they could fast forward if they didn't see it.
Everybody happy.
Oh, that and the Chet Hanks thing was the other wild inconsistency with that.
Son's whole bone was coming out of his leg.
He's like, no.
Keep him on the stand.
That would never happen.
Yeah.
Dude didn't even sound believable when he was like, I was afraid.
Yeah.
We got it.
We got it, buddy.
The lawyer knew that, though.
Yeah.
No worries.
He sounded mad that he had to say that.
Like, I'm not pussy.
Right, right.
Fam, you're fighting for your life right now.
Yeah.
Let me see if I have anything else here.
The Jamaica kidnap story.
Oh, we should highlight what's going on in Trinidad right now.
What's going on in Trinidad?
If you heard about the Jamaica kidnap story, it wasn't a kidnap story.
There we go.
That's why I try to
not get too riled up
when you read things on the internet.
She made that shit sound like,
they let my friends leave.
They told me I had COVID.
They wouldn't show me a positive test.
They kept me no phone, no food.
It was bad.
Just to find out that she didn't have COVID
and she didn't want to quarantine.
Oh yeah, I saw that one, the flight attendant thing.
I mean, she did have COVID and she didn't
want to quarantine and have her
friends leave and be stuck in Jamaica by herself.
That was nuts. Don't do that again. These fucking kids in the
internet. But in serious
news, and let me read this off an actual
real source, Trinidad is facing
a gender-based violence crisis right
now. 416 women and girls went missing in trinidad is facing a gender-based violence crisis right now uh 416 women and girls
went missing in trinidad during 2020 535 went missing in 2019 45 women were murdered in 2020
there are 552 reported cases of sexual assault against women in 2019 uh one in three women and
girls in unions reported that they have suffered abuse. 29% of those have said they experienced both physical and sexual assault in Trinidad right now.
It's becoming kind of a thing.
That's insane.
Nuts, nuts.
And I'm certain there's no coverage on it.
Not much at all.
So I just want to make sure we cover that.
Got it.
Because it's definitely something bad happening right now in Trinidad.
Yeah, thanks for the info.
Thank you, Rory.
Way to be responsible with your platform.
I appreciate that.
You guys got anything else?
I don't think so, no.
No, I got two docs I have to watch tonight.
Lady and the Dale.
Man, y'all going to be impressed by Shorty.
Because at the end, right, when I thought this shit was over,
it was over already.
She ran away from the jury.
She did everything she had to do.
They get this Daily News guy or some reporter on there.
This is a spoiler.
This is a spoiler, by the way.
I'm not going to spoil it.
How?
I mean, you spoiled the entire thing.
I'm still watching it, though.
So they got-
All right, this is a spoiler.
We'll fast forward to the end.
This is a spoiler.
Get out of here.
Go on now.
Get out of here.
Get your ass out of here.
Go on now.
They put a daily news or some news reporter guy there, and they like, it's his first day
on the job.
They're not giving him no stories.
So he's like, fuck it.
I'm going to go find the stories.
So he goes to the local highway where they're selling roses, and they're all selling roses.
So he's like, fuck it.
I'm going to get a story on the niggas selling some roses down here. They're making some money. They're pouring their heart out down here with selling roses. And they all selling roses. So he's like, fuck it, I'm going to get a story of the niggas selling some roses down here.
They can make some money.
They pouring their heart out down here with the roses.
So she went down there, and the reporter was like, yo,
there's mad rose sellers down here.
None of them speak English, and none of them
would talk to the reporter.
So the reporter did some digging.
That's what reporters do.
Good reporters.
Who owns the Rose business
of the people
that don't speak English
making a killing
for the last 10 years?
There's somebody behind
this shit for sure.
Yeah, absolutely.
This nigga sold roses.
Shorty is good, man.
Spoiler alert.
Watch it.
It's great.
I just read that
they're not bringing back
Messiah.
Good. Nah, that show was good on messiah good nah that show was good on on netflix messiah that show was good i tried to watch the first two episodes i fell asleep during messiah i tried i couldn't get it

You want Mel Gibson's version, don't you?
Yeah, that's what Joe wants.
That's what they want.
That makes him more comfortable.
No, I'm mad they're not bringing this back because they said that the Muslim community
was offended by some of the depictions and stuff like that.
I never viewed this series to be like that.
So I just was like-
I already could see why they would be offended.
It looks like a bunch of angry Taliban
and then a bunch of angelic white people.
This was good, though.
This series was good.
Turning the sea into capital.
Like, oh, Jesus came to us, you crazy terrorists.

Is there anything else besides Hamburger Helper toppings that we need to get to?
It's the box top.

What the fuck is that?

Rice Krispie
Treats, for

I like Rice
Krispie Treats.
You're right.

No wonder Ari Lennox hates me.
Look what they doing to fucking aunts.
Yeah. It does feel a little racist. Look what they're doing to fucking aunts. Yeah.
It does feel a little racist.
It's time for that to go.
They put Aunt Jemima under the sawmill creek roll.

Can't do it
Can't do it
Understandable
Alright well get us tickets.
Yeah, soon.
The Garden's open
February 23rd.
How many people
are they letting in?
2,000.
Okay.
That's not too bad, though.
How many do you think
the players get out of that?
Probably still just,
because I think the players now,
I think their families
are still at the game,
just in the skyboxes,
I think.
I think it's that type of thing.
Nick's doing alright, man.
Number six. They look good, man.
They look good. That D. Rose pickup was big.
Yeah. A lot of people
kind of just didn't really pay that.
I didn't see that get the headline it deserved,
but that was big.
Only because D. Rose is D. Rose.
He's proven.
He's proven he's a veteran. He plays hard.
He wants to win.
He doesn't have these attitude problems that a lot of these superstars have.
Puts his ego to the side.
He just wants to play basketball.
Yeah.
And he obviously still plays at a very high level.
Yeah.
So, shout out to the Knicks.
Shout out to Julius, man.
Yeah.
It's good to see New York basketball be a thing again.
It needs to be.
Yeah.
I mean, the Nets
obviously are
the Nets
but it's like
the Knicks need to be
in the playoff scene
for sure
absolutely
it's only been
my entire lifetime
right
never got to the glory
some Sprewell years
that were cool
yeah
nah it's over
when you were six
couldn't even get there
with Mello, man.
Nah.
It's over.
It's over.
All right.
Life is a series of bullshit.
So yeah.
Mind what matters to you.
The girls give you a headache.
Yeah, whatever the fuck that is.
Oh no, take an Excedrin.
Excuse me.
They give you a migraine.
Get the caffeine in there.
I feel you.
Mind what matters to you.
