We on, we live, we live. We good, we good, we good, we good. All right. All right. All right. Very critical. Very critical. Welcome back. Thank you. Welcome back, Jimmy. Thank you. Thank you, guys. We miss you so much, man. Happy to be here. I missed each one of you as well. Thank you, guys. We did our best. Thank you. Better than that. Better than your best. Wow.

Yeah, man, you guys kill. You guys kill. Thank you. Highly appreciative and grateful to each one of you. Thank you. Man, there's a lot of internet speculation. A lot of fodder. A lot of fodder. That's a good word. A lot of fodder going on. Is there? Yeah, yeah. If I see one more think piece, one more video, one more secret plot that they were telling about. They had their tin hats on. Oh, my God. What were they saying?

that this was a strategy that you were faking, that you were never coming back. I saw some of that. I saw some of that. Every time something happened, they think that I just had some type of brain trust somewhere, and this is an evil plot to... Some type of bigger play. It started off with concern. A lot of concern. Not a lot. Not a lot. Not a lot. Just a little bit of hate. It wasn't as much concern as I would have liked for putting out the, yo, man, really going through some shit, y'all.

Hold me down out there. It was like an hour of, damn, hope he good. After that, it went right back to. I think it was because you were posting in story that, you know, shit just looked real. You know, normal. You look regular. Regular. Outside of the pot. How should it look when people are going through something? Number one. Cricket, cricket, chirp, chirp. Maybe nothing. It wasn't a lot. They didn't get much. I was in the mall.

And they opened up a Yeti store, and I was excited about it. So I went in there. Too far, nigga. Caught the camouflage Yeti. Yeti people are like, oh, shit. The rest of y'all are like, oh, he good. He's buying coffee cups. Like, what is the correlation there? I was fucked up in Yeti. That was like a retail therapy.

Type of thing. Oh, I understand. I understand. People are irrational. If you could do Yeti, you could do a four-hour podcast and a Patreon. Yeah, yeah. Same thing. And then Parks comes on air and he says, yeah, man, it was just with Joe last night filming. That did not help. with Joe last night shooting some shit. Man, this content. I thought I was letting them know that you're all right. No, no, and no, no. People were worried, man. They want to send you flowers. They want to know where you at.

I was home. Well, not even. They think you were avoiding the topics. I saw some of that. I saw some of that. Ducking all the smoke. I saw some of that. Here's my problem with you, though. My problem with you is that... Why you were going through something and we were concerned you were really going through something because you didn't even answer your niggas.

I called you mad times, text you mad times, and I'm not going to take the time to address it here. But just I'm letting you know that that is on the tip of my brain. I didn't have that problem. Thank you for that good 30-minute talk. Wow. Just really being able to process some things. That was a great talk.

Don't worry, Flip. I'm with you. He didn't respond to my shit either. I dubbed the shit out of Mel and Flip. Totally. Yep, he did. I dubbed the absolute shit out of Mel and Flip hitting me. Number one, you not never going to talk to me no more after I'm going through something. Take me one. time to learn. I had that little fight in the club and told you first and I was in the news cycle for months. That will be the end of you knowing something first and Mel, yeah nah, fuck out of here.

I hope everything's okay. No, no. Don't take my tea and hit the girl group chat with what's going on with me. You just talk too much, period. So all the take is somebody at Target. Hey, what's up with Joe? He ain't been on. Well. You know, I just text him this morning and, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no. I feel the way about that.

I know you did. But why? I'm here. I'm here. I love you. If I'm going through something, I might. I'm probably one of the strongest people each of you know. I just felt the way because, you know, I just reached out to my man, see what's up, you know. Kept you updated in real time, and then you just... You're going to know if something ain't right with me. It's going to be on the news. That's why I'm going to tell my girl, text me when you're home. Get to home. Why?

What the fuck are you going to do? Because when you feel like you're close to somebody, it's... It's comforting that they tell you themselves. You feel good about it. You feel that they trust you enough to share information with you. You don't want to find out in real time with the news, nigga. Who the fuck you think you are, nigga? Huh?

We don't want to fight on the real time. Niggas love you. So what you need to do is just stop showing love and make niggas not love you. Come in here like... And that's it. Well, I love y'all. Niggas love you. You can't expect niggas... I'm like, wait, what happened to my man? I'm ready to ride for you, nigga, all the way. There's nothing to ride about. I don't care. Everything is okay.

I don't care. You made it like that. You keep coming in the pod. I love you. Give it extra little hugs and shit. That manipulating shit you be doing to make niggas feel good in the moment. Oh, y'all. You killed it, y'all. Pointing. That little stupid point.

Yeah, you do that to make niggas feel good, and then when something happens, that shit is crazy. Why do you build me up, buttercup baby, just to let me down, nigga? That's you. That's hilarious. No, that is funny. He's crazy. Yo, you held it down though, Flip. Appreciate that. Hey, Mike Flip held it down, man. Thank you. A lot of respect. Thank you, Will. Go ahead, Critical Go ahead. Give him his flowers, man. I did. I started this with thank everybody.

And I'm super appreciative and grateful to each member. I worked on that. Yeah, I worked on saying that. You guys really did a really phenomenal job. Thank you for doing your time. Holy shit. So, no, I was real happy that Flip didn't miss the episode while I was gone. I was happy that he A-miked, right? Yeah, thank you. The last time I brought up to the crew that other people should try amiking in the event that I'm gone, just so we could see, they cursed me out. Really?

Oh, they cursed me out. They said, oh, we picked Flip. Flip want to do it. Let Flip go. Fuck you, Joe. That's what they said. That's what they said. So I think Mel want to do it. She did a little cohesion. She was squeezing. Yeah. It was a nice flow. I think that it was a really great flow. She pushes me to the front, too. Oh, shit. They put you right to the front. They put you right to the front. They put you right to the front. Everybody look real loose and free.

Everybody had personal stories to share. Niggas was... Ice was dancing to reggae music. I thought you was like, what? It's your man, huh? Hey, someone's got to hold it down. I have it a slice. Someone's got to hold it down. You motherfuckers. What's wrong with you? You motherfuckers, boy. But you can't say that. You can't. You just got to thank each member. I know you. Park said that he saw something online that said the UnitedHealthcare killer had that shit on. And you said a bulletproof vest.

Yeah. That wasn't what I was referring to. What else happened? I got a list. I can't wait. I don't know if we want to get to it now. I can't wait till you get to it. I just want to see. I want to get into your mind. I know. I know it was killing you, nigga. I know you sat there. No, not even. Not even. Actually, I was proud. I was very happy that it happened to see that it could happen.

So, yeah, give me a fucking month or two weeks or three weeks off sometime. Give me a break instead of just getting trampled all over. I know you were looking at. He was looking at Ish like, you mother. You wouldn't be happy. It's your mail. Oh, the chemistry. The chemistry was left. Oh, shit. The shit you've been trying to work on. They waited till you leave. You wouldn't believe it. Oh man. Almost like somebody would have envisioned during the hiring process. Oh man.

I've hired two niggas thinking it's going to be a slam dunk and then they just fight for a year until you leave. It's like, oh. Got it. For the greater good. Now they said you seemed a little more free. How did you guys feel? And I'm starting this shit.

No, we felt good. That felt good? I feel the same. Yeah, teamwork was good. We're a consummate professional at all times. It's not just that I'm new. It's because I'm new. But, like, these Yarkats, like, I can see Mel in particular, right? When I watched the ones I wasn't there for.

Mel seemed like the Mel that I saw the first time I watched you when you were a guest. Do not put a battery in his fucking back. What? What, is that bad to say? I'm not being funny. Yes. No, I mean, it was a good thing. I thought it was a compliment. Okay. You killed it. Thank you. You killed it. Get on the floor! Get on the right chair! Sing it! Mel was... Mel was... Yeah, what's up, Mel? I'm watching that shit ballet. What's up? I thought Joe was...

cursing the screen. He pointed at the fucking TV. That was it. Yeah, we know. Hey, hi. Her intro was fired on the intro. Her intro was fired. Oh my God. Oh, yeah, your year should never happen again. Please don't ever let Mel get a year off in my absence. I did that wrong too? It's over for your urine days. It's not like you were yodeling. It's totally over for that. Stupid ass thing. Oh, look how Mel pods when Joel's not stepping off. No, they make us look crazy for a little bit.

I couldn't wait to come step all over our shit. It's over for that freedom fighter shit. Give women a voice shit. These niggas ain't giving women voices while I'm fucking going. You crazy? All right, no, I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking, I'm joking. What you got for us? You want Parks to start? No, no, no. You want to start? No. We're excited. We're excited to see what you got for us. Brother Ice is here with us in spirit.

He can tell you what he's going through when he gets back. He's a load of the weather. That's it. Yeah, he's under the weather. That's a good way to put it. It wasn't when I called and said, hey, you coming into work? All right, Ish, you come in later. Nigga called out an hour later. He's motherfucking. Don't start. He just got back. He's motherfucking. All right, all right, all right, all right. You know what I mean? Hold up. I want to allow the floor to my toes.

What episode is this? 785. Welcome to episode 785 of the Joe Budden podcast brought to you by Fueled by Powered by Price Mix. I'm watching you. I'm watching you while I'm alive.

on that one little part in the front of my... Hey, don't step on my drugs. Don't step on my drugs. Brought to you by Fueled by Powered by PrizePix. I'm your humble, gracious, grateful... Highly favored host Joe Budden here with a few of my nearest and dearest. Big Parks is in the building. Seating is different now. Big Parks is here. Mel is here.

Flip is here. Mark is here. Poe is here. Corey is here. Erickson is here. Keebler and Ian are here. Tanner and Savon are here remotely. Ish and Ice are here with us in spirit. And last but certainly not least, each and every one of you guys out there. here with us. What's popping? What's popping? What's popping? I was getting used to Tuesdays off. I ain't gonna hold you. I was. I was. What'd you say? I said, must be nice. Yeah.

You got Fridays off. Don't worry about that part. What's up, man? How y'all doing? How y'all doing? I'm great. Took me a while to get the setback, so I had a long night, but we here. This is great. Yeah. Hey, man. This is fucking awesome. Nostalgia. Yeah. Magic was made. It was. Plenty of great times. I'm just happy to see you at your back, bro. That's it, man. Well, where did y'all think I was going?

Like, what are y'all saying? You wasn't communicating. What did y'all think? Did y'all was going to have to pick up and just pod for life without me? What are y'all talking about? No. That's not dramatic. I mean, we're dramatic. First of all, we had Podsgiven set up. And you sent a text saying, we can't do Podsgiven anymore. There's no Podsgiven there. No, push back. Push back. What you said is, gotta cancel.

And then you said you had an emergency, right? Yes. So I didn't know. I mean, the biggest thought I had obviously was, you know, like. Family. No, I just got this job. I could lose the check. Oh. I don't know what he's going through. How will it affect me? Right. I done been through some shit before.

Valid. That's a fair point. That's a fair point. But my second thought was, I don't know if he's okay. And because, like Flip was saying, you weren't super communicative, I didn't know how bad it was. Some people are dramatic.

Particularly famous people. It could be something small. It could be something big. I didn't know. We were just worried about you. I didn't worry about potting second, but I was really worried about this part. Yeah, me too. I was worried about you. We really worried about you. I mean, it's not like you said such a high. And also, like, not hearing from you and then having to come in. The mic, the mic, the mic. Not hearing from you and having to come in and do the job. I mean, shout out to Corey.

And shout out to Erickson and the team being there, but it's still not hearing from you, not knowing what's going on and trying to get it all together. It was an interesting task for me. That's all. Y'all thought if something was really... If I was really down bad, did Corey just still be?

around, chilling, watching you. You don't think he would have something better to do if I was in an emergency? He military, man. No, exactly. He's proxy. Yeah, he probably wouldn't have said shit, been mouth clean. You could have been in the bathtub.

covered in ice with your kidney out. He wouldn't tell her. He would just keep doing the job to keep things looking steady. And he held it down. Corey presence is neat and it was very important why you weren't there. I think a bunch of things just happened at once. Like there's no one thing to highlight. Like a bunch of different things just started happening in the same week.

And I needed to go. I needed to go and deal with that before my blood pressure went too crazy. And listen, listen, maybe on another date, maybe today I got to see how I feel, but. I'm dying to tell y'all a little bit of what happened. I am absolutely dying to tell y'all. It's the funniest shit in the world. It really is. It's just not funny, but...

It's hilarious. It's a very Joe. It's the only Joe can do this. When are you going to share this? Yeah, this thing is crazy. I've been racking my brain. You got to share it, man. You can't pressure me. No, no, no. I mean, at some point I am. Please do. Y'all don't have a clue, do you? I have no fucking idea. All I have is my own theories.

I mean, so when you say that, I just want to let you know that while you think that I would use you for content, I know everything, and I just kept my mouth closed. I'll give you the punchline. Maybe I'll film the details of it later. I'll give you the punchline. Yeah, man. I just slept walked somewhere that I shouldn't have slept walked. What? That's what happened? For real? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you know I sleep. Yeah.

Oh my God. Nice naked ass. Good naked sleepwalking. I just did it again. Oh, shit. I did it again. Oh, shit. I did it again. Shit was swinging, right? Nobody can go through this stuff with me. It's only me. It's only me. So you got to deal with. That puts everything. You got to deal with what comes with that. Damn. I had like five. I went nowhere near to some shit. You would have never.

Nigga, I could have guessed 50 in a moment. That's impossible to guess. Impossible. Yeah. Wow. But when you hear it, it's like... It tracks. Yeah, it tracks. Oh, no. Wait till I give it to you. Pause. Wait till I really get... This is a story. This is a story. Oh, my Lord. Caused division between my parents. My mom and dad is beefing now. Oh, shit. My mom and dad is beefing. Wow. Because my dad was on vacation when I did it. He was in D.R. shaking a tail feather.

And I was going through a storm. Nobody I really love I'd tell when I'm going through like a storm for real. I don't want to impede on whatever he had going on out there. So I didn't tell. I told my mom. And then when I sent the cryptic, it wasn't cryptic, but my tweet out, my dad seen it and called me. I dubbed it and he called my mom. And I told my mom not to tell nobody because I want to tell my own sleepwalking stories.

I don't think that's something you just... Hey, man, you know our son be sleepwalking. I never even told my mom I'd be sleepwalking. I had to come clean. Say, yo, ma, you know I'd be... How do you even say that? Yeah, that sounds wild. So anyway, my mom held it down. She didn't tell dad shit. And now they fighting about it. They fighting about it. Valid. It's juicy. It's juicy. It's juicy stuff. But that's what I have for you for now.

At some other point, I'll fill in the details of it so we can all have a good laugh. It's funny in premise alone. I must say, that's good enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's funnier. I know you'll put the sauce on it to make it funnier. No, I don't need to. It's really this funny. Is there any cure for sleepwalking? Joe, did you look into that? I don't know. All the... Clinical neurologists and doctors that I've spoken to say it all comes from stress. And I turn on my fucking...

TBC. Y'all just stress free. Wow. Niggas bogling and shit. Look at that. See niggas do the kid and play. Niggas play. Free as a bird. Yeah, so this ain't stressful. Who knows? Who knows? We'll see. I never sleepwalk and get into some snazzy shit. It's always some dumb... It's just stupid. It's never like...

You know, my parents got to worry. You might not fucking walk somewhere and fall out a window. Yeah, that's a valid concern. Yeah. No, no, I'm not stupid sleepwalking. It's not pussy, Corey. Well, debatable. Maybe, maybe, maybe. But yeah, no need to worry. No need to have concern. I'm safe. I'm healthy. My blood pressure's low. That's good. My blood pressure's a lot lower. A little vacation to do that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fucking...

Little morning commute over here, huh? Yeah. Out there with the fucking nine-to-fivers. Bridget Tuttle. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. In the mornings, they be... Them niggas. Write that down. All right, what's up, man? What's up? What y'all want to get into? Anything in the world y'all want, please don't feel like I am stepping on anyone's runway, huh?

Wherever you want to go. Personal stories, eh? What's up? Well, today's my birthday. Oh, shit. Happy birthday. Really? Happy birthday. Oh, come on, man. Come on. Today is JR's birthday, too. Oh, is it? Happy birthday, JR. Nice. Happy birthday, JR. Happy birthday, JR. Happy birthday, Mark. Wow, man. Celebratory Hennessy here for the day. There you go. All right. How old's your turn? 46. 46? Shout out to you, Ma. I feel great. Happy birthday, bro. I'm still laughing at you.

Don't say it. Write that down. Write that down, please. Somebody write that down. Not this one, buddy. Not my first day back. Listen, I saw some of you. y'all out there saying man I hope when Joe gets back he will address some of the topics that he missed that are really important I would love to know his thoughts no no

Yeah, you missed some shit. I'm not going to do that. We had to delve into some shit. I can't tell you. I could not be happier to have missed every topic that I missed from Daniel Penny. to the United Healthcare dude, to Hove, to Remy and Pap. I was home batting a thousand on not having to talk about none of this shit. My God saved you. But look, the Hove one, I think, is safe now.

It is, yes. I've been watching, covering it, trying to find an angle on this because I always want to stand with victims of violence. I always want to stand with accusers because most accusers are telling the truth. From what I can see, this is not one of those times. You know, when I first heard it and I heard the attorney, Andrew Busby, being an attorney, I was already like, this looks shady.

Because I know his reputation. As an ambulance chaser? As an ambulance chaser, yeah. And just the way the story played out didn't make sense to me. But in the last 48 hours, it's been even more evidence. When she did that NBC interview... I was like, okay. Nail in the coffin. Oh, my God. It was terrible. She said, my dad picked me up and brought me back home. It's a five-hour drive. And I was like, if my kid asked me to pick her up.

and drive five hours. I'd remember that shit 20 years from now. And then when NBC spoke to the dad, the dad said he doesn't remember that happening. He don't believe it. And feels like he would remember it. You would remember a trip from Rochester to wherever, New York. Which is a nice way of saying my daughter's a fucking liar.

Because I'd ride for my kid in general. Of course. You know what I'm saying? But he was like, nah, I can't do that. And then on top of that, she said she watched the VMAs from the Jumbotron. They were like, we didn't have a Jumbotron that year. But the thing that fucked my head up was when...

She said that she spent time at the VMAs with that artist. Green Charlotte or something. Yeah, one of the artists. Yeah, the artist from that group. Yeah, Blink-182, one of them. Good Charlotte. Yeah, good Charlotte. Charlotte is nice. And I was like, what? Two things made me say she's not black. Right? One was that of all the people at the VMAs, that's who she remembered. Right? I mean, come on. At 13? Facts. Then the second thing she said, I called my dad and he came to pick me up.

I was like, between those two things, there are... Also, what threw me off was when she said, my bathroom, when she said, yeah, I walked to the gas station and picked me up from the gas station. I'm like, it ain't, but...

One or two gas stations. In all of Manhattan. Yeah, in Manhattan, period. None of this shit makes it. We went to a mansion. They fucking traced the mansion. They said there's no mansion within 20 minutes. They said Hove was there. They had pictures of Hove somewhere else at the time where the thing was supposed to have happened. It was just like thing after...

If you come after somebody with that much money, they're going to have investigators and trackers. They're going to be able to prove this shit if it didn't happen. Oh, man. I want to shout out to my Lotus gang. Those Lotus days. Hold up now. Yeah, big man. Hey! Those was the Lotus days. Are you shitting me? There's evidence if dudes went to Lotus after the VMAs. And at that time, that is where you would go. And Lotus was not letting anybody 13.

in there. And yeah, Puff didn't own a mansion back then. They did research there. Whoever did that interview, they did the research. But my favorite part in all of this is when... And Puffy's lawyer came at the end and was like, yes, this is ludicrous. These are all false accusations. And Hov's team was like, wait, wait, wait. Everybody slow down. Mr. Carter knows Mr. Combs professionally only. Yes, they've spent time together.

As professionals at awards, basically, I don't know him. I've done business with him. That's not my man. His case is a his case. This ain't got shit to do with me. We have no meaningful connection. Yes, no meaningful connection. I was like, wow. And somehow the internet was up in arms about that. I understood. I saw people saying that we needed to rush in here and address that part of it. And I'm like, no, I would do the same thing.

I don't believe they were friends. No. I'm on record as saying I don't believe that any of these industry niggas be friends. It's all for optics. It's all for business purposes. It's all for they ain't chilling. They ain't chilling on fucking Thanksgiving. Right. And if we cosplaying as friends and you get jammed up with the law, then I'm denouncing the friendship. Right. What a good understanding here. Right. You were saying.

No, that's exactly what I was saying. I think that people take the optics of seeing Diddy at the Roc Nation brunches. That's usually kind of the... what people use as a gauge to judge how close people are in the industry. And Jay-Z is like, yeah, no, this is my shit. I show up, I shake hands, I kiss babies, and that's it. I'm out. There is a level of... Joe, or Flip.

I would hang with y'all. I would go to the club with y'all. I would go to the Roc Nation brunch with y'all. But do you know how fucking close we'd have to be to have sex with a 13-year-old white woman? White girl? I mean, obviously we wouldn't do that because it's illegal, but I'm just saying to the level of crime that you're committing, you got to know that motherfucker going to go to the grave with that shit.

I never thought that they would be our word buddies or pedophiliac. That's what I'm saying. I never thought that. Not once. Hov is really, really, really intelligent. Like, and I don't just mean like educated, like the way that his brain works, a lot of them people up there, the way their brain works, they got a different type of tick. I just don't see Hove making that mistake ever.

Not that one. Yeah, he's like long-term strategic. And he's extraordinarily private and has been forever. Yeah. And he's patient. Yeah. Now, I'm not close enough with anybody to know that, you know, who knows if there's a play after this with these people. I don't know if this is Busby's only play. It just seemed like a bad plan. I don't think it is. It didn't seem well done. Even his line about, hey, another law firm vetted this.

young girl before she got to me. All right. So you did no vetting. So you just acting off the information you received as an attorney. If you're a hustler, though, you're banking on two things. One, that 90% of people just don't want the bad press. So they'll just pay you to go away, right? Which is mostly the case, I would assume. But there's a second piece that most people don't assume, is that even if...

you didn't do the thing that you're accused of, there's a chance that the only way you can disprove it is to say what you were doing. And that thing also might make you culpable.

So, for example, if I wasn't where I was at the strip club, now you got to explain to somebody why you was at that strip club if you told your wife you was somewhere else. I don't know. I was I was fucking so and so that night and she can verify. OK, well, now you you know what I mean? So a lot of celebrities have so much dirt and do so much wild shit.

that they will run from, they'll settle, not because they did that thing, but because if a light comes on everything, they're going to get exposed for something else. So they just, I've talked to celebrities all the time. I'm like, I didn't do that shit, man. But I was at this other thing. You got it. I can see that. Yeah, that's what they scared of. Yeah, Hov seems to be making quick work of this guy. I ain't never seen nothing like it.

I ain't never seen nobody get the ass kicked like this. Got the Roger Goodell stamp. The very next day. Hey, no, business is fine. We're not going to lose that relationship. That's impressive. Truly. Go. Yeah. I just last thing I want to say this is just I don't I hate, though, that now all the people who don't believe any women.

who don't believe any survivors, who don't believe any victims are now going to be like, see, just like that shit with Hov, that's going to be like, that's going to be the justification. Yeah, like that's going to be they won. I hate that shit. I hate that they're even correlated, right? Like in anything, there's going to be liars. There is. Like that don't, that's a separate issue from the people out there that I'm not just saying women, because it's not just women that are.

Going through those types of, you know, I don't want to use the words. Yeah. But, yeah, it's not just girls. It's guys. It's little boys. It's fucked up out there. Yeah. And this is dark now. It is. It's dark. Can I ask your opinion on something then? Sure. And I'm asking you. I mean, I care about what all y'all think, but it's a Joe thing. So my wife got the flu last week.

Hopefully she feels better. I don't know. I haven't been home. Oh, shit. So maybe that's the Joe part. Got it. Yeah. She said she had 100. She had 105 degree fever. And yeah, it was like 104.9 to be exact. That's a lot. It was real hot. I really don't want the flu. So she, I said, I said, I said, go to urgent care. And when she went to urgent care, I quickly packed all my things. I had to do my Al Jazeera show in D.C. anyway that next morning. Now, I did take the baby. Okay. Okay.

And I was talking to you on the phone. It looked like a kidnapping. I'm sure my neighbors thought I was kidding. I was just throwing shit, grabbing random towels and fucking wipes and shit. And I threw him in that car and I drove to D.C. and I haven't been home. I'm going to come home after this show. It's my birthday, so you can't be so mad. Some would argue, including...

No, no, not me. I'm fine. Yes, might say, what the fuck? You could have stayed here and took care of me. You could have been downstairs. We got enough space. But I really don't want the flu. As a married man, my wife is sick or if I'm sick, vice versa, it goes both ways. One of us goes somewhere else, the guest bedroom, the basement, the air mattress when I had COVID. I was just down here sleeping on the floor. But not Washington.

Yeah, that's a lot. You just got up and left, man. Because if you get sick, you can't work. That's where it's tricky. And I'm assuming somebody has to go to work. Somebody has to. Plus, I really don't want the flu. I'm with you. I don't want that shit. But they got new versions of that shit now. Yo, she got the new one.

Yeah, the flu ain't just the flu no more. Her shit got wings. I don't know what the fuck it is. I don't want no parts of it. And that's kind of fire to be away from the house while your wife or your girl is sick. And have a good reason. Yeah, but you had to take the baby.

I will take the baby. Because you don't want the baby to get sick either. That's just more stress. I put him on YouTube. That's how I see it. I put YouTube on. I've been free for the last five days. See, I would have went to cost an ass dream with the baby. What the fuck she talking about? I'd have been on a little tour.

Yo, dad's got that baby in that little front book bag. We'd be in the streets. Yeah, I don't think he did nothing wrong. Thank you. I don't think he did nothing wrong. If Joe said I ain't do nothing wrong, I ain't do nothing wrong. Is he mad? I don't know. Wait, you haven't been there for five days, but you've spoken to her.

You can't get a tone through text, right? Unless she's really mad, then you can get the tone through the text. That's true. It's some short answers. But she's been in and out of consciousness. She's been really tired. I don't know, but it's my birthday. I feel like that's the safe time to come home. So do you know if she's feeling better now? Oh, she's definitely better. Good. All right. So she's good enough for Podwives now.

Oh, shit. Good enough for some potwires. Now she's feeling good. Now she got material. Fuck, no. Oh, fuck, no. She wasn't coming before. Because in 30 bands, she was talking about giving out. Whoa, giving out. You said you gave it. I didn't say shit about giving out. She had to earn it? Right. I mean, it wasn't like a regular, it wasn't like a monthly stipend. It wasn't like per diem. That was a one-time shot.

That's a nice shot. It's a one-time shot. Sometimes you hit a shot from half court. Enough. Enough. You give out bread. He ruined it for us. Give your girl bread. Stop. All the time. You can do par wiles, man. Enough of the soft shit, man. Y'all could do it. No, we can't. We can't do par wiles. No, you ruined that shit. You give out a lot of bread. You just make everything seem safe. I already told mine. I know I'm going to save money. I know I'm going to save money.

Not that I'm here to talk about it, but by giving her an Amex. If I give her a card from my shit, I'll save mad money. How? Would you put a limit on that? How? Well, because cards have limits. But Amex has a high limit. Amex is going to have whatever limit you call them and tell them to set on the card. But you're transitioning into black card territory. If you hit homeboy, then yeah. I've already taken care of it. It's in motion. Don't worry.

And the problem with the black card is, one, you got to pay to give. Like, I got my wife a black card. And it's like, it's 20. I think I paid $5,000. I think we paid $5,000 a year just for her card. Just a half. Right? Which is fine. But then she gets a separate bill. Right? So.

When you give someone your card, there's still a sense that I'm putting it on Joe's card. So there's a sense of like, I don't want to go crazy. I got to check on it. But once somebody has their own card with their own separate account and their own separate login. I'm going to keep that gold card. You are not getting a black card. I tried that shit. I tried to give my wife a platinum card. And it was fine until mine was black. Really? Yeah.

My wife don't trip about shit like that. However, there's a way that they want to look or feel. How can I put it? We're equal. We're partners. So you don't want to walk up in the joint with the black and she pull out the, especially gold. Gold to black is like green to gold. If I got black, you can pull out bronze. What the fuck? All right. All right, so she won that one. I'm trying to tell you right now. A luxury once enjoyed becomes a necessity.

Just bars. That was good. That was good. That's it. You could have ended with that at the UN. Yeah, we found out about Mark's little UN time at the UN and how he landed here at the gym. ABP. All right. You're wondering how I got here. One of the movies. Oh, my Lord. Oh, shit. You know that? Oh, my God. I am happy I missed you guys' Jamie Foxx review. I'm happy I missed it. I ain't watching it. I finally watched it.

I'm happy I missed it. Did you see the show? Yeah, I saw it. What do you think? I just said I'm happy I missed it. I'm happy I missed it. My takeaway was... Who the fuck knew the Jamie Foxx name wasn't Jamie Foxx? I didn't know. I didn't know that either. I did. He on TV talking about something. I'm Eddie Bishop. Eric. Eric. Eric. Eric Bishop or some shit. I've been stumped the whole time I was home. Because his kid's last name is Fox. Huh. Now. Yeah.

Explain it to me now. That is confusing. That's weird. Yeah. Take that one. I guess he legally changed his name. To Fox. Yeah. Maybe started off as a stage name and then, fuck it, nobody went. called him Eric anymore. Jamie Foxx gotta get the fuck out of here. Jamie Foxx. But Jamie Foxx is a fly name instead of Eric Bishop. And when I googled the reason he did it and it couldn't get any flyer.

In the comedian circuit, they would allow the female comedians to go on first. So he changed his name to Jamie Foxx so it would read as a female so he could get a shot. That's deep. That's pretty snazzy. That's pretty snazzy. Did you think it was a piece of shit like Ice did? I thought Ice got a bad rap. I thought he got a bad rap. I did. I did.

But also Ice, shout out to Ice. That's my brother. That's my man. That's my brother. Also, Ice gets stuck on something and stayed here. So if he's saying, I thought it was a comedy. I thought it was a comedy. I feel you. So did I. In the first 10 minutes, I realized what it was. And I'm like, okay, we're not here for what I came for, which is okay. Which is okay. The impersonation bit.

Wasn't for me. That Cat Williams should have me rolling. That too wasn't, it didn't for me. Jamie Foxx for me is already one of the most talented people on earth. this seemed like a reaffirmation for him. And I support him getting that, being deserving of it, and feeling like it was warranted or needed at the time. I didn't love the, hey! If I can stay funny, I can stay alive. Like I didn't. It was a little, don't make me say it, so I won't.

I won't. I won't. Jolly. Because no need. I love Jamie Foxx and everything he does. But if that's what you needed to stay alive, great. In the middle of this bit that I'm watching, and don't make me say it too. Right. Like you start making it the crowd. The daughter on the guitar. A little schmaltzy. Schmaltzy? Schmaltzy. What does that mean? Like a...

unnecessarily overly... It's like saccharine. Yeah, like a little too sentimental, but like fake kind of like... Performative. Performatively tear-jerking. Now, Jamie Foxx is a phenomenal actor, so he could sit up there and fake cry all day. Right. The daughter's acting skills told me that they have done this a few times before and she can't act as well as him. And then they pan to her. How did you feel during the whole thing? Well, Dad.

I always knew that we would share a stage together one day. So I knew you would stay alive. Okay. Okay. Okay. And then I've watched people play the guitar before. That was also a huge... I got musicians in my family. If you don't, then I get it, but... If you do, and you watch the, come on, don't make me do it. Do it. Don't know. No, I can't do it. Did you see it? No. All right, man. Don't waste your time.

50 took a while to come out, huh? No, he didn't. No, he didn't. Yeah, so I can't, I can't, I can't. Yo, stop, yo, stop. I'm chilling, I'm chilling. What is 50 promoting? hate because he seems to be on his own come on he was on he was on motherfucking Andrew Schultz just I got to skip the Schultz topic. I killed my shit. I killed my shit. I ain't gonna lie. I wasn't coming here to say nothing positive about dude. So, yeah. Fair enough. Yeah. Oh, my Lord. Anyway.

Yeah, Jamie Foxx. Yeah, I watched it after. I set a bar so low for me that I thought it was going to be terrible. I watched the first. It was good. It was solid. It was engaging. Yeah. And I listened to it while I was... driving to D.C. So it was it was great to hear. But I laughed like twice.

And once I accepted that I wasn't there to laugh, then it was awesome. It was fine. It was engaging. Yeah, it was fine. Yeah, yeah. Jamie Foxx is the man. Shout out to Jamie Foxx. Glad he's well. It might have been funnier if you'd watched it, though. Because you would have been able to see what he was doing on stage. I mean, I watched the first 30 and then listened to the next. His daughter won't see it on stage. That's not nice. It's not nice, bro. Leave the man's daughter alone.

All right. I'm chilling. Let it go. She didn't play the guitar, right? She ain't going to see that. I hope she enjoyed that. You got lots of pics. I got lots of pics. What else? What else? What else? What else happened here that we care about? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I went to Usher's show while we was gone, too. Of real? While I was gone. Sorry. Which show?

I went to the Thursday show at the Barclays. Okay. We just check it because if you said Friday. No, no, no. Everybody saw that. No, no. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I was sad. Sure. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I was really sad that I couldn't join in on some of the fun. But I did go to the Thursday show. I had already been to the Vegas residence. So that's a tough act to follow a little bit. Yeah, he put on a phenomenal show in Vegas. And this, in large part, to me, felt like some of that show.

in a much bigger place so there were times where i couldn't see him i was seated in the front end we had good seats yeah uh but the stage is huge so i didn't see him the entire time and vegas was more intimate vegas he did more singing more dance and this one felt a little more like

A karaoke vibe. Girls love karaoke. Everybody just kind of singing the slaps. He did songs in Vegas that he didn't do at the Barclays. Him not doing glue for me is absolutely crazy. I hit Vegas when glue first came out. and Glue is just a phenomenal Usher record. And then when we went to Vegas, I mean, he saw me and the crowd came over there.

Take my girl's hand, pick her up, fucking swing her, do the do-si-do while I'm sitting there looking stupid in the face. All right, cool. He asked you permission, though. He did? No, he was respectful about it. Respectful about it. But as a nigga, I remembered it. Yep. As a nigga, I just remember and I know and you know. So here we go Thursday night. Don't know what to wear.

I've got this option, but I don't know. I'm going to wear something. I don't know. You'll see. You'll tell me. Of course, this nigga fucking put on the tightest outfit in the world. Dressed like it's Halloween again. I make a face. She says, oh, I'll just change. No, no, no, no, no. Don't change. Be free as a woman.

to wear what you like. Don't hate. I am fine. I'll say it for him. I am fine. I'll say it for him. Joe is a secure man. Yeah, I'm cool. I'm straight. She coming home with him. Hey, listen. Actually, you never know. You never know who your girl's coming home with. I'm just going to be honest. Nah, I know who she's going home with. Nigga, I had front row seats and I didn't take them. I took the fifth row.

The next night, I went Friday because I did not want my wife that close to Usher because I like my chances with anybody else. I said, one of two things is going to happen. Either it's going to go bad or she's going to be eating cherries out of his hand and y'all niggas going to fry me up that next Tuesday. I said, either way. Fifth row, please. Same price. I'm not manager. It's still Usher. She's strolling there wearing the tightest shit in the universe. He come out. He don't see us at first.

About 10 to 15 minutes and I see him look at me. Give me a little head nod. That's a trick. That's a trick. That me and you ain't never been close. Back to what Jay-Z said about Diddy. We ain't got a meaningful connection. We ain't tight enough for you to head nod me in the middle. Are you crazy, nigga? Gave me a little head nod showing up five minutes later. He come right over.

In front of only us, gyrating, doing all this shit. He did for mad long. I'm looking at her. Yeah, bitch. I dare you. And he strolled off, did a little lap. Came back, gyrated some more right in front of me. This time he, hey, Joe, get up, Joe. No, he gyrating and telling me to get up. I see y'all in here looking stiff. Come on, get up and dance. That's what Usher did. Look at her. I'm with you. But you played it cool. You played it cool.

No cherries? No cherries? No, no, no. Our seats were too good. He did the cherries going toward the back row. Nosebleed. No, not nosebleed, but just where those bleachers begin at. Got it. He was that side. I was closer to the stage. So he went by and did his little cherry thing. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Get your shit off. And come over here with no cherry. No way. I'm locked. I physically was like, no. I don't even want you to see.

No fruit is happening in this fucking stadium. I'm down with you, nigga. We not playing. Yeah, we ain't playing. Nah. Yeah, but Usher is. At his last concert, he found Ruby Rose in the audience, friend of the show. I saw. Yeah. Friend of the show, Ruby Rose. Yeah. And he did the little cherry thing, and then it got away from him.

Yeah. Because one of her girlfriends came over and grabbed the cherry and they had their own moment and he was left looking stupid in the face. Or maybe not. I don't know. He probably won either way. Now, if you with your dude. Don't even finish the question. No cherries? Absolutely not. No. No. No. Well, she failed the first part of it anyway. You got to get a dude. She got a dude. Wait for real. Homeboy still rocking? Yeah. Oh, I got to get Cordova. Hey! Hey!

Big Bang. Chicago dude still. We chilling. All right. Making it through Christmas. That's a milestone. Are you getting something? Uh-oh. Here's the question. I mean, I'm getting him something. Okay. Wait, hold up. Something expensive? Okay. Or just like some slippers or some shit? Yeah, some cologne shit. Right. You get him a cologne? It'll be something. Some socks? It'll be something curated to him only. Oh, that's that cheap shit. You gonna what? I heard that different. You get too much.

I heard something. A photo shoot? Some freaky shit. Yeah, I heard some. Still cheap. She got a lot of money. Curated this Mel for like. Mel got money. Nigga, buy that nigga something, nigga. Get that nigga something. A Honda or something, nigga. Mark still got the Vixen image of Mel popping. This is older Mel.

You're being thoughtful and shit. Shout out to Mel. Shout out. Them thoughtful gifts be trash. They're the worst. How was it, Mel, the long distance? Is that working? It's cool. In your favor? Yeah. Yeah. It's nice. Good. It's cool. I like it. You like it, right? I don't really feel like I'm in that.

You are, but... It don't feel like it. It don't feel like it. Wait till you not. She can pop him anytime. When you're not, it feels very different. I'm getting a house that's big enough for me to always feel like that, too, by the way. You should, yeah. That is the...

That part. I expect to totally not see her for weeks and live together. Nice east wing, west wing. I have the New York version of that. Rem's way up there reading books or whatever. I'm down here watching podcasts. Yeah, like go over there. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not even mad at the people that be like, what did they say? Sleep divorce. Huh? It's a term called sleep divorce. So it means that if you want to get it on with your wife or husband, then you...

fuck in the bed, but then you have your own separate bedrooms. That's like some old school shit. My grandparents had two separate beds and shit. I mean, but that's what helps the marriage. I try to do that now. That's what helps the marriage last longer. Yeah.

Making no sacrifices. It helps to match. You can't, nigga. Every day. Come on. I'm not mad at it. Live next door. I like my space. You say your stupid little jokes on Tom Parks. Like, come on. Every day. I got a king-size bed. My wife is very petite. So it's kind of like that. Yeah, but y'all situation different, man. Rem is just cool. Y'all got a flow going on. She understands and you understand. I'll be on a different floor. Most of the time, I'm on a different floor.

I mean, like sometimes you have like different sleep habits and that that will affect. That's our issue. Yeah. My wife go to bed at 10 o'clock. I'm not trying to fucking go to bed. Yeah, exactly. And I don't want to crawl into bed at one or two o'clock and wake her up. So I would say half, most of the time. I'm downstairs. I sleep in one of the guest rooms. I sleep on the couch watching TV. Why don't you just leave?

Yeah, try that shit. She sleep early enough for me to get to tiptoeing. Now you think that, but they know where you leave the crib. Just buy carpets. Oh my God. They know where you leave the crib, nigga. I get some rugs. You went to sleep. You said how tired you was from work. You went to sleep. I walked in. You were snoring. I did you a favor but not wake you up being on the phone. And I left.

An hour in. Yo, where you at? What you mean where I'm at? I just left real quick. What's up? When she sleep at 10 and you in the other room is the only time you've seen everything on YouTube. Like it ends. There's no way else to even scroll. Can't like go to bed, nigga. Binge watching shit. Let me go. I go sleep with this bitch. Nigga, the other day. Shit. Sleep. I'm on YouTube like, oh.

shit, the show that they used to give you a house, redo the house, and give it to you was a scam. Yeah. What? What do you mean? I didn't know this. Gotta hit YouTube. I believe it. Yeah, the show was a scam because none of the people they could give the house to could afford the house. So they're giving their testimony on YouTube. It's the funniest shit. Yeah, that is a bitch. Give us my-

Yo, they're on YouTube talking about stuff. At the time, it was just such a beautiful home. But then, it's like, oh, shit. Taxes came right. Oh, my God. The upkeep, yeah. Holy shit. Oh, my God. They're learning about, like, traveling these days.

learn, you know, Puerto Rico and different places. I said Puerto Rico. No, no, no. A lot of people are leaving. That's 30 minutes away. It's America. That's the state still. No, I know, but a lot of people are leaving to go to Puerto Rico for business incentives and tax incentives. learning a lot of shit. My niggas is moving. Even when they go to Texas, even when they go to Louisiana, it's a lot of shit to learn, man. And I've been learning a lot of things.

Out here, that was just interesting. That's all. No, no, that's real, man. Do you see yourself ever leaving this area? Yes, now I do. The more money makes me want to leave. Before, I didn't. And have you thought about where? Somewhere. Somewhere with gangs, right? Yo, my heart dropped to the floor with every flip tweet.

Yo, man, y'all know gangs in Venezuela? Anybody know them? I'm going to try to check them out. I'm like, oh, my God. Chill out, man. Yo, Denver, I'm trying to get with the Crips in Denver. Yo. Hit my phone. Calico, where you at? Like, oh, Jesus, man. Yo, real quick, what you said earlier, 50 is promoting his action channel. 50 got an action channel. Oh, that's true. Yeah, that's true. He's been on the show. And I wasn't waiting. Stop doing that.

It's Kobe about that shit too. Came on my live and said that shit to me. Like, yo, you was standing there by the exit wave of 50. No, the stage was there. So they blocked the stage for him to come down. And when he was coming down, that's where I was at. Did he say hi? I spoke to him real quick. They spoke. They conversation had me homestumped again. This whole time I've been homestumped. You know he wasn't told about niggas up here. I know that. You know he's okay.

But that part stumps me, too, because it's like, yo, dog, how long can you hold on to some shit? I don't know how he does it. Forever. What's his time? Cancer. Yeah, like a violent cancer. A violent cancer. For a long time, every time I do work with somebody that knows Fifth, they say...

Are you willing to work with Fifth? Yes. Down from Envy, down to everybody. Yo, I got his Lamborghini here. Let's do some videos. But I would tell him, I don't know if Fifth really rock with me. I think Fifth is mad because, you know, I interviewed Marquise, the whole thing with Preem, son, all this stuff.

I don't think he rocks with me, but everybody, they never give me a message back. Then I see something where he said about Skane and Clue. I'm like, what's going on? I remember that. I was there for that. Yeah, I haven't saw 50 in years.

So when they asked me, I said, I don't think 50 fuck with me. Then when I saw him there, he said it because they went back and told him. And then Yayo saw me at Coney Island and was giving me some rundown of things that I might have done that looks a little crazy. So when 50 saw me, he said, yo, he think I don't like him.

But I don't like the niggas that be around you. It's just, it's a mind fuck. Like, there's so much niggas I be around. Like, who could he be referring to? But he's another one with that tick I be referring to. Yeah, you say that, Joe. No, no, that ass. What tick? He's a brilliant thinker. Yes. Oh, yeah. I think that there are some people that have succeeded no matter what, whatever you put in front of them. Some people that's just too resilient. And with that resilience comes another side.

to be able to deal with whatever's coming. I think 50 has that. I think Hov has that. Some of the black people that have made it, like past music, they funk Kanye. They got a tick in their brain that enables them to think differently. They think differently. That's what I'm saying. 50 got another thing, though, that sometimes makes me uncomfortable. And I've seen it up close when I've interviewed them, and I've seen it from a distance.

He's a genius. He's brilliant in all these areas and I'm a fan. But there's a way that he wants to destroy his competition even after he already won. that i don't sometimes like like when i watch the way he still come the pleasure he seems to be getting from watching puff crumble if i was like yo he just hates predators cool but it don't feel like that

The way he comes at home, you know, recently saying he only got these awards because he's married to Beyonce, all that shit. It seems like there's a way that he wants to... Annihilate. Annihilate, that's it. He doesn't just want to win, he wants to annihilate. And I don't know...

They're doing things to him as well. He's just doing things publicly. Things are happening behind the scenes when it comes to Fifth. He's just willing to expose it. That's Fifth thing. That's helpful. Because he know that you're not going to, with him, in my opinion, that he know that... they're not going to take it but so far when it comes to him because he's willing to go as far as you're willing to go. So he can just say whatever he wants.

it's just niggas is doing funny shit behind the scenes okay that's helpful I'll leave it at that and again none of these niggas are friends right like even through the lens through the lens of friendship I think there's some people that recognize these people, even if I'm standing next to them, are competition. Right. Until when, though? That's all I'm saying. When do you just say, I won and I don't give up? Like, hold, I'm already home.

The people that I think he continues to talk about, you never get that I won moment because you're talking about Puff and Hove. Two of the black billionaires that before all of this scandal, how many instances did you get to pop out and... feel like you got the better of either one of them. But look at this real quick, Monk, sorry. When he speaks about Hove, he said Hove tried to, you know, you know the story, tried to prevent him from doing the Super Bowl until M stepped in.

Now, with fifth-year Queens, nigga, he's still in the street. Like, he think, okay, now you being funny. You still doing funny shit, nigga. It's past music, and you still doing things to sort of either eliminate or remove the competition when... I'm not no competition to you. They're on two different paths to me. I think Hope has that same annihilation. I agree, yes. It's low-key. It is a very different way. You think he's got better marketing on it? Yes. Okay, that's fair. That might be right.

Yeah, I think he's got that same... Every time Nas dropped an album, Oh, dropped an album. That shit wasn't coincidental. Nobody said nothing. Yeah, yeah. He's like, who does that? And he can just get away with it. Yo, Nas, salute. Yo, he dropped it the same. I don't like this. Joe Cooley, you know that's foul, Joe. That is foul. Every time. He has done that a couple times. Every time, Joe. That's nasty, son.

I know Big Face Gary and Dame, Dame Dash got an interview out now. I just saw it on the way over here. Gary was telling Dame, yeah, Joe Budden was talking about he ain't get his Rockefeller chain. I saw that. Yeah, Hope wouldn't sign off. And Joe, he never signed off on Joe putting the album out over there, so you can't get a Rockefeller chain if you don't put the album out. Did you know at the time, because Dave's whole thing was...

he had to be the bad guy because he didn't want to make Hov, he didn't want to say like, Hov, don't fuck with you like that. At the time, were you blaming Dame for not getting the Rockefeller chain and not getting the budget and not getting the album? No, my focus wasn't the Rockefeller chain at the time. I was trying to get off of a label that...

I felt no longer suited me, which was Def Jam or at least getting the hands of somebody that could help me have a relationship with the distributor. So no, I was going from. Def Jam under one regime to Rockefeller. Hopefully they could get something popping over here. I wasn't thinking about a chain at all. I was trying to do music. And the lack of like movement on that. And I knew that Dame was the one that got me on Rockefeller. Gotcha. That's what I'm at. Okay.

Nice. Yeah, Hov and I back then, yeah, we got better as the years went on. And I put that all on me, by the way. I don't put that on him, even if he had nefarious intent. Like, I don't put it on. But you put it on you based off of growth now. I put it on me because I was emotionally immature back then. I was. Like, no matter what I was feeling, there's a proper way to go about it.

And I didn't have any of that in my 20s. But that's the growth part because that doesn't negate the fact of what was being done to you wasn't being done. It was still being done to you. Life on life. Things were still being done to you. Life gone always life. That part is never...

Never going to be absent. Yeah, I get it. There's always going to be a point where somebody's doing some fuck shit or some situation. Listen, anything on your plate, you will it to you. Anything in your life, you deserve it. You brought it there. So I feel like that today. So, yeah, it's not nothing with me and him. But in my 20s, yeah. And it wasn't just me, but we can talk about that later. What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? I think it's about that time, Joe.

Really? You're... She snuck in! Yo, what's good? You all right? It's time. It's about that time. Yo, Joe, I swear to God. If I find out she got PC, nigga, don't... You and your distractive tactics. If I find out she got PC, nigga, I'm... What, PC surprise picks? Yeah, nigga. Wait, doesn't everybody?

Yo, Mark, stop fucking with people. What? Yo, you got to stop. I came late, so I didn't understand. I thought we all... Stop it, Mark. Stop it. Yo, Christmas bonuses. Yeah, I got an email. I got the email. I got the email. I got it. Ingrates. I'm an ingrate now. I got it. Thank you. Did you respond? No. I did.

Nigga wasn't responding to my text. I ain't responding to shit. I saw it in my account, but that's nice. I said, reply all. Thank you. Christmas bonuses, huh? Heard y'all was up here while I was gone talking about something. Yeah, man. We holding it down. I ain't get no email, no text. You're new. No, you still got one. Don't do that. Look how fast you alienated man.

You said the same shit. Y'all read for the same script. Yo, I'm happy you got it. Yo, I'm hate mics and shit. Yo, you got it.

What the fuck you saying? He just got here. You are already an integral part of this team. Thank you, man. I appreciate it. I feel the same way. Thank you. Thank you. I still don't get no goddamn email, but I'm going to look for it. It's there. Maybe my agent got it. Maybe my agent got it.

agent got it. No, I'm saying maybe y'all send it to my agent. No, it's there. Okay. Check your account, nigga. You got it. Okay. You got it. All right. All that money in there. Check your account, nigga. Big spender niggas talking like that. I ain't no big spender. We was up here holding it down.

Yo. That's hate. Stop, Joe. That is hate. Get your judgments out quickly. No. You're going to wear it the wrong time and it's going to be tight. No, because this is the room. This is the room. This is the room. Yo, we've staged a couple times. I'm about to say. Please don't wait until it's coming to start doing it. Yeah, no, no. It's the only one that ain't hit me.

Hey, everybody hit me. Yo, you good? Just checking on you. Hope your mind, your spirit. Bitch, don't give a fuck. He knew you wouldn't respond. Holy shit. All right, yeah, now that's what it was.

No, I'm always shopping for that. Don't go. But during the holidays, there's extra white people out there. It's nothing but...

White people out there. I want to let y'all know on this big broadcast that we do here, the evil white people during holiday shopping have effectively killed, excuse me, for me. No more excuse me. Pardon self. Pardon me. Just pushing through. No, bumps his back. Oh, okay. Bumps his back. Boom! Yeah. They on their phones. They not looking up.

They not moving even if they see you. They just down for the head-to-head collision. They going crazy. I like to punctuate that with a share the fucking sidewalk. They won't. Right as soon as I shoulder check. Yeah, no. Bumps is back. I'm aggressive. I don't give a fuck. And the racist whites are still out there. And nothing lets me know that more than the elevators during Christmas shopping. They clutch their bags.

No, they won't get in. They won't get on. It'll be just me in the elevator. A whole white family just standing there watching the doors close. Just go. Just go, black nigger. Just go. We'll catch the next one. I ain't sure. Like, it's slow. It's going to be a while. They don't give a fuck. They don't give a fuck. Them elevators take a long time this time of year. Oh, my Lord. Yes. But shout out to all the Christmas shoppers out there.

Shout out to them. Are you guys done Christmas shopping? No, I haven't started. No, I haven't started. I'm bad. Yeah, no, I've started. I've started, I'm lying, but not much. Stupid-ass Ian talking about sending the Christmas bonuses early in case they plan on shopping early. I'm like, Ian, it's a nice thought. All right, just do it. You know what? It's a nice thought.

Very nice of him. Shout out to Ian. No, no, that's a little racist. Like, I wasn't assuming any of you needed the Christmas bonus to Christmas shop. Oh, I see. Oh. Y'all could have just. He's like. Make sure they have heat for cream. All right, so what else is going on? I have... Found humility during my absence. Or more of it. Say more. Tell us more. More of it. And grace.

as I will exhibit during this next topic when we talk about Travis Hunter and his girlfriend. Thank you. I am so sick of him. Thank you. Him? Them. He didn't do nothing, though. I'm sick of her. Neither did she. What is she, this girl? She's his girlfriend. No, no, no, no, no. What is she, though? Oh, what's her nationality? Yeah, what's her thing? I watched eight minutes of her on social media. Me too. She's not black.

I think she's some kind of... Hispanic. Yeah, Latin American. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it seemed like. I thought they threw some Filipino in there somewhere, too. Oh, that could be... Yeah, she act like there's some of that in there somewhere. She doesn't respect a black man, bro. Man. I'm trying to have Grace because she's young. No, fuck that Grace shit. But she's getting mistreated. I said this the last time. And watching her video, I'm like...

Capes out. Here we go. Mark don't play. I know she look good, but Mark, fuck that. It ain't about how she look. Like she said, people are like, why are you sitting in that seat? She explained. We had assigned seats. People are like, why are you getting up? Why didn't you get up? Because I wanted him to have his moment. I mean, she had a...

a thought process that to me made sense. Even if I wouldn't do the same thing, I think we assigned the worst motives to her. And I don't think she has bad motives. So her thought process immature. Yeah. Okay. Cause she's young. Yeah. Okay. I see what you're saying. Yeah. When you say motive, it throws me off. I don't think that her motive is bad. I think sometimes you can be too concerned with only your emotions at the wrong time.

i.e. his last game at Colorado when he put up those big numbers and she was mad that he stepped to the cheerleader. That just may not have been the best time for that. I don't care about the story of, yeah, he wasn't my type. I don't care about that. Well, she also explained the cheerleader thing. She said it had something. Her distaste wasn't for him and the cheerleader. It was that family wasn't allowed on the field. Whatever the distaste is about.

Not now. I'm not saying she didn't have fair reasoning. Just not right now. She didn't know she was being watched like that. Like she said, I don't know the cameras were everywhere. Again... I'm not saying her behavior is right. I agree with that. Same thing Adele said. I think they got a PR team for this whole relationship. But she's a kid though. It feels that way. I think they don't. For real?

The PR team would not have allowed her to get on for eight minutes. They're not signing off on any of this shit. They keep addressing it. Especially social media talking. Then that shit at the Heisman. Yeah. Do I have to sit here? Last to get up. first to sit down looks away right even if unintentionally that does come off away especially if you don't know what to do in those instances do what mom is doing

But see, on the internet, if you're not black and you do what black mom is doing, people say, she raised that boy. Why are you trying to step in where the mom is? Why are you trying to take that spot? I feel like you can't win. She can't win for losing. Then do what Coach is doing. Do what to start all three of the people that... or most important in this moment stood up and she sat down but it's cool let's say we give that you get a reprieve fine then afterward i'm at the adidas

The Adidas is throwing the function. I just signed a big deal with Adidas. I'm taking pictures, shaking hands, kissing babies, and you on the couch saying, what the fuck I'm supposed to do? Just keep sitting here while you take pictures? Let me answer it for you. Yes. Yes. That is exactly what you should do in that moment. Again, I'm going to give her grace because she's young. Yes.

How old is she, 22? She's young. I thought women mature faster than men. There's a difference between maturity and knowing what to do when you're thrust into the spotlight. And you're not even the person that... people are supposed to be paying attention to. Right. You just don't have that level of sophistication yet. All of y'all out there laughed when Brittany Renner was talking about giving courses.

to college athletes to teach them about women like her or that she identified with once. If there's ever somebody that needed that class, it's short of year. Them. And that's why you get a PR team and you invest your money in learning how to deal with the media. I'm not saying she's perfect. I'm not even saying everything she did was right, although some stuff I think she got a bad rap for. To me, it's just when I look on the internet, I hear people acting like,

She's a gold digger. She's trying to bring him down. She's trying to embarrass. It's like the worst motives get attached to her. And I think we need to give her. Well, I don't know about the gold digger part, but it is embarrassing. And you have to blame him as well.

I don't know what type of simp KB has. I do blame him as well because he's making a lot of excuses for trash behaviors. Trash behaviors. Embarrassing. Black. Your mom is there. Imagine what his mom is saying to him. Like, she's supposed to be a representation of you. You know what I mean? Accordingly, regardless. Cameras is there. We let you get away with the first one. When the second...

third, fourth times. Now, your behavior is unexcusable. We can't keep giving you a pass on your behavior. It's intentional. I am. You just, you just, huh? I'm going to keep giving him a pass because it's like it's one of those things. Not when you get in the Heisman and all that shit and you ask a nigga son. Listen, listen. Yo, people love doofuses. Like, what can you say about somebody that is in love with a doofus? There's nothing you can say. You don't pick...

You don't pick who you love. My bitch is doofy, yo. Let me give you an example. She's my bitch. Y'all don't call her doofy. I know she doofy. She my doofy. That's my doofy. Imagine your girl getting... graduation, getting her masters or whatever. And niggas get up and clap for her. You just sit in there like this. You gonna make, you embarrassing her and you gonna make yourself look stupid. That's what she, she's doing things that.

important moments of his life I don't respect that fuck her not like that not fuck her but like fuck excusing her behavior I mean have you ever been thrust into a new platform where you don't know how to behave or where

the rules and the norms are different and you look out of place and you look like your behavior is here. That's where I was going. I was doing my professor thing, but like, I guess what I'm saying, like, I would think, I would think you'd have some grace. I'm saying, look, look, look, come on. Come on, man. Stop. Cable for the Colombian. Listen.

No, I'm just saying, I would think you could relate. No, I can't. Because you only get one pass. Up here, it's different. Wait, you only get one pass? No, you're supposed to only get one pass in certain things. Joe, you said you're only supposed to get one pass. I don't think there's someone up here. You can't be talking.

But that's my point. No, I'm not talking about up here. I'm just talking about in general. Up here is different. You can edit this shit. No, but what I'm saying is your mistakes, my mistakes, everybody's mistakes are earnest ones. Like, let's give her the same grace that we would want for ourselves. How many grace can we give her?

At 21, 22, a whole lot. And also this is happening within a very short amount of time. Come on, man. Travis need to holler at you, man, so you give them class. Not like in that way, but you need to give them some game. Mel would have been like this. Heisman. This is my second one, nigga. They took the first one from the over, nigga.

Mel would have been up like this, nigga. Mel are dipping that Chicago nigga so fast. If you get a young, fresh, ripe Heisman award winner, plays both sides of the ball. Are you shitting me? Hey, Chicago BD. Gotcha. Lock me up, folks. I'm giving grace. Okay, you're just doing that for the kids. There's no way, Joe.

Ain't no way. I watch you in person. Ain't no way. I came up here and told Mark when he was on his Bronny shit, like, yo, these are kids. I want to give them some type of great. They kids, yo. And Bronny made 30 points. And I think he going to clip us soon.

whether he know it or not anyway. Like, you know, sometimes you got to let the grandparents come around. They know where your relationship is going, but maybe before you. I don't think they're going to be, you know what I mean? I don't wish it on them. I think they got a ring and a baby in it.

How embarrassing it is for a girl to go online and say, yo, this nigga dropped me off to parties and waited outside for me to finish partying. What the bitch? Are you crazy? Yeah, she in the news just too much. Yeah.

Just go away somewhere. It ain't about you right now. That's why I think they got a PR team. Might not be a good one, but I'm seeing them too much for me. They got a PR team for her. I shouldn't be seeing college kids this much. But you're seeing her for the wrong reason. You keep seeing her because she keeps saying stupid shit. True. Yeah.

She just needs to move out of the media eye for like a year. I agree. I agree to that. Just don't say nothing. We're not here for you, yo. We're not here for you. You come along. You the plus one. Right.

So I act like a fucking... Hey, yo, there's a lot of girls. Hey, yo, what's Travis? What's his name? Travis. Travis, a lot of girls out there, the OGs out there. Go to Starless and get one of them that know how to hold it down and treat you right and play their position. I mean, think about it, though. He's got Deion Sanders to give him game.

You would think that he's aware of what he's doing. I think they got bigger fish to fry right now. Dion should be thinking about draft position only. We'll get to your love life later. It's money time. She probably doing shit that he never experienced, Paul. Doing the twirl. Watch me spin in real time. No, I'm cultural differences. Motherfucking boy. I ain't gonna hold you. And you ever go to the party?

with your girl that is just your girl, but it ain't like, you know what I mean? And she go in there trying to fucking act like you with all the history of these people and with her chest out like she done did something just because she here with you. Man, if you don't go get some fucking punch and sit

You don't know these people. They don't give a fuck about you. It ain't about you right now. She gave us a whole dating history. I dated a soccer player and I dated a such and such. Oh, you ain't dating no niggas. This your first nigga. Right. She started the top floor too.

Like, that's the thing. Like, women like that a lot of times will only date the black dude if he's a Heisman Trophy. And that's what the internet is getting at, right? That you only fuck with him because he's a star. You only fuck with him because he's elite and you're going to take his money and leave. That's what the world... That is the assumption. That's the assumption.

She's rubbing it in our faces. Like she's not even denying it. She's not denying it. I don't think that she understands what... like the magnitude of what she's saying. That's what I'm saying. And how bad it sounds. Sounds crazy. I truly think that she has no clue. Yeah. Until it's out and everybody is fucking crucifying her. That's why.

That's why Ross is my man, right? He get rid of that. Ross break up with her right in time for the internet to say, I told you, bitch. We just told your dumb ass a week ago. To shut the fuck up. be out of here in a second. Ross act fast. That's my man. He don't play. He don't play. Higher, slow, fire, fast, right? The boyfriend experience. That used to be a thing too. Go in there, sweep some lady off her feet for a couple weeks and then...

Send her back home. Send her back to that white fridge. Nasty white fridge. Nasty shit. But thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. And also congratulations. Congratulations. Yeah, for sure. Travis were winning the Heisman. That's crazy that we... Oh, yeah, that part. She's right. That is crazy. Yeah, everybody's congratulating him with the exception of Ashton Gentry. Who was that? The running back that came pretty close to winning it as well. Right. From, I want to say, Boise. Yeah.

Yeah. Is he upset publicly? No, no, no. He's not upset publicly. But this would have been the first time in a long time that a running back won the Heisman. And if not for Travis, then he was definitely winning. Who was the last? Was it Ricky Williams? Who was the last one? Was it Ricky Williams? I don't remember. Mel, you have any ideas? I think it was Ricky Williams. Mel, you know? It could be.

It could be. I mean, it's hard to win. It could be the Dolphins. One of the Dolphins legends. I would never let go of Reggie Bush. You crazy. You better let it go. I would have held on my life. TKO. You had to get a restraining order. What? The boy was built like he was sculpted. All the athletic ability in the world, all the money. His whole hairline in place. Shit. I didn't even know that. I didn't know that was a thing. You don't know a lot about Mel, nigga. She's a legend. Alright.

Moving right along. Moving right along. Moving right along. Oh, did you tan? Did you pay for the tan? Fuck you. Wait, what are you talking about? Wait. They were saying that I needed to get... No, you looked tanned. I didn't get one. Oh, OK. Was it some type of new tanning cream? No.

It's probably the lights in Park's basement. Maybe, possibly. We saw a little black mark on her hand last episode. It was self-tanner. I said you got dirt. I said you got dirt on your hand. She was like this, wiping it. He asked me if I was bleaching. No. It was too tall. I said, oh, shit. Her whole hair is like, but there's dark spots. Mel don't apply makeup for where she going. Like, she just, it's her bathroom. All right. All right. All right.

great. I didn't even know. What? These lights is different. These lights is like, oh shit. Alright. She was self-tanning. I didn't even know that was a thing, but she really self-tan. Self-tan lotion. Mark, did you get the email? Did you find the email? I still have not gotten it. Mark got paid, man. Don't do that. Look, we're going to find it. You'll know. Next break. Then there were three. Right.

Man. Yo, I've been really fascinated by this daddy Yankee shit too, man. Since we talking about girlfriends. Although that's his wife, right? Soon to be ex. Soon to be ex. It can't be soon enough for him, I'm sure. She withdrew. allegedly reportedly 80 million dollars from his record label bank account oh shit they're on their way to a divorce and he she withdrew 80 million dollars

That's wild to me. That was me. It would have been... I'm not playing with you. What? From the record label money too. Yeah. Yeah, which is crazy, you know, because he just sold his masters. He just made, like, I think $300 million, some shit like that. And he just had that just sitting, like, in a regular bank account? Well, that's the first thing I didn't understand. Like, how is $80 million that accessible? What do you mean in a regular bank account? Where should it be?

estates, trusts, Cayman Islands, offshore. At least a good CD, something. Yeah. I feel like he was Floyd Mayweather and it just had a shit like in the Santander. He might have had both. I'm about to say, if you got 380, 100 of it could go.

over there. True. It's just the FDIC don't insure it past what? A million. A million, two million, some shit like that. It just seems like a very unsafe, unproductive way to use your money. But I ain't got that kind of money so I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. But it just seemed weird to me. That's crazy. 80 million. $80 million. I'm going to notice. For sure. I would notice. I'm going to notice that. I check my bank account every...

Two hours? Every four hours? What? Wait, wait, wait. Me too. Thank you. What? Why? Thank you, huh? Flip understands. Gotta make show some shit, man. Shit happens. Why y'all doing that? It might be like poor people shit. Yeah. See, I don't check them out and I think that's the poor people shit. Because you're scared to look at it. I'm in Parks' camp. You may get a big check and then...

You check it again, this chunk of the shit, you're like, wait, where the fuck did that go? Like, you just got to check it just to make sure things... I'm perpetual. Nigga, I don't even do auto bill pay because I'm scared. Like, every month... Who's paying your bills? Me!

I'm just saying I don't want auto deduction because I'm scared there's going to be a moment where my shit is fucked up. Verizon calls me like, your call has been rerouted. Like every month. Not because I ain't got the money, but because I'm scared to have auto pay.

Mark, you have to stop paying your own bills. Shit. What are you doing? Okay, wait, hold on. Do you replenish your easy pass through auto pay? That's the one thing I do because I drive, you know. That's the one thing that will fuck you. oh really yeah easy passes they literally had like a lawsuit against them see and that's the shit I'm talking about I trust one motherfucker and look what happens I've never yeah I've checked my account like three times since we've been recording

Why are you doing that? He was looking for the bonus. Because the shit could go somewhere. Somebody could say, apparently a bonus was coming in. I just checked my shit just now. He was like, refresh, no bonus. Refresh, no bonus. Right. I love learning. Next refresh we're calling Uber. How long it take to get out this motherfucker, man? Y'all crazy. But do you ever think that what you saw there two hours ago is not about to be there? That's my worry. That's my perpetual worry.

And I don't have any reason to think that, except it could. You just never know what happens. You never know. Somebody takes your money. Somebody hits some internet scam, some shit. I don't know. I just want to check it. My wife has access to it. I'm not worried about her taking the money. It's our money. She can do what she wants with the money. As long as I know where it went, I'm okay. But it can't go nowhere where I don't know.

And I'm going to check it every couple hours. In fact, talking right now has me uncomfortable. So you don't have like LifeLock? I don't even know what that is. Ain't that the shit when you fall over? That's when you fall down and you gotta press the button. Right, that's what I'm saying. You press the button on the seat. You can't get up. That's life alert, you fucks. What's life law?

LifeLock is a service that basically kind of ensures... Well, you got a LifeLock ad first. No, no, no, I don't. You put your cameo voice on it. Yo, she really did. I'm glad you asked. No, write it down. But it's basically a service that... that alerts you if there is some weird activity going on. Yeah, if your information gets put out there. Oh, yeah, I got on the dark web. I got all them. I got Credit Secure, Life. I got all them. I got like four of them. I probably spend like...

A couple hundred dollars a month just on alerts. Me too. Me too. Yeah. Yo, y'all are really mad men and women. Paranoid. I'm fucking terrified. Well, we're not making a lot of money like you. Yeah, we don't got money like you. Yes, y'all are. And stop. Enough. Because there was no pocket watching while I was gone. Don't do it now. There's nobody to watch. You don't leave a fucker to watch. Are you crazy?

watching every time I see one of the little late night rooms Mark be doing Mark with Jessica Vance's talking about the laws in Egypt and how they gonna I'm like oh he back at it with my tin cans he don't he don't play it about that shit. What else? What else? What else? What else? Luigi represented by wife of Diddy's lawyer. Is it too soon to say I like this guy a little bit?

No, everybody's been expressing the same thing. He's also a hero. He's a hero. Tell me about it. To the people. No, he did. How could he not be? He found the one functioning city bike. And got to PA on that shit. That nigga got a city bike, went through Central Park, and then he just got hungry. But why McDonald's? That seems like the worst place to fucking go. Nah.

It seems actually pretty smart. I'd be at Perkins. I'd be at White Castle. I'd be at some place that has a little less. A lot of volume. Somewhere not corporate is where I would be. I figure he's that smart. Like a bodega? Yeah. Getting a chopped cheese or something? Yeah, because Papi ain't never calling nobody. Never. They could know you're the person they're not going to call. Never. That's where I went wrong. He probably just felt like I'm in an obscure town.

Altoona. Yeah, like who's supposed to see somebody out there except for the one McDonald's worker that sees you and then they say, all right, we're still not paying you. We're still not giving you your reward money. It's going to be split three ways. How much was the reward? $60,000. Oh, that'd make any tell. Yeah, that'd make any tell.

Yeah. But he ain't going to get the whole thing because there's two people that saw him first. So it's going to be split two ways. 20,000 is enough to snitch a nigga you don't know. Nigga snitch for a whole lot less. I'm negotiating. Well, first of all, I'm not doing nothing for 20 grand. One. Two, I'm negotiating contingent upon what they did. Like, how bad do you want this person if I got the answer? He's right over there. I can tell you. That company, they make a lot of money over there.

That's a solid point. But that's how the healthcare companies is. They made $300 billion. We'll give you $20,000 if you tell us who killed them. Luigi being villainized and Daniel Penny being big-upped. Right. It's some sick shit. Well, I don't think Luigi's really being villainized. People are praising Luigi. Not the people that matter.

Oh, as you said. The fans. The fans, baby. Twitter. Do you think it's a conspiracy? Isha Issa was here talking about it's the greatest conspiracy ever, that he's not really the guy and that there is a whole thing. I forgot. Listen. While I was gone, takes were getting off. No, no, no, no, no. I'm super appreciative and grateful. Back to the speech. To each member. For the job that they did. Let it out, man. Some things was getting old. That tin foil shit. Thank y'all for upholding the fabric.

of this thing. But, um, what was he saying? Luigi. And whether he did it or not. The alleged criminal. No, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't know. I don't think it's a conspiracy. I don't think he's a criminal mastermind either. It's a couple things. I think he's a white guy. If you do the same crime with the same technology, you get caught. You don't make it to Herald Square.

But a white guy on a city bike isn't going to get caught in the same way. I think his whiteness got him through. I think he's a tech genius. He's an engineer. He knew how to make a weapon. He knew how to make all that shit. But that don't mean you know how to run from the cops. I think he was just calm and poised in that situation.

That's it. Like, sometimes other people, if it was one of us, shot him, went back, shot him, started running. Stood over him. Yeah, we would have stood over and ran. I'm joking, but... In that situation, one thing that stuck out to me is how calm he was in the situation. He wasn't nervous. It didn't appear to be. He wasn't erratic. He just...

Went by the garbage, comfortable, took a bike. He rode slowly. I'll tell you one thing. I was looking for him when the cops was looking for him to challenge him to a Monopoly game. Who the fuck you think you are, nigga?

fuck you think you are running around with Monopoly money in your backpack like you built like that? I'll smoke your fucking boots in Monopoly. This nigga. A lot of niggas don't think he's about to anger me. It don't matter, but he had Monopoly money in his bag. Like, dog, don't play with me. I'll fine you. I'll come find you with the board and we can get to it. There was a conversation that was had while you were going. I'm trying not to raise my blood pressure.

Go ahead. We'll go to Spades. Yeah, I'm not even going to go to Monopoly. I'm going to go to Spades, right? Because I don't pretend to be a great Monopoly player because I'm an adult. Oh, shit. Shoot some ladders. I'll get you, nigga. No, I don't know. But Spades.

I'd simply made a claim that I was a very good Spades player. I feel like you said you were the greatest Spades player. When I said to Parker, I said I'm the best Spades player he's ever met in real life. I'm sure there's people on TV or in some Olympic shit, but like... I'm special. I'm special. And Twitter and I had an engagement about it. And then this dude jumps in and...

I don't look like a space player? No, you know what's funny about him? What the fuck does a space player look like? Not like you. They not like us. They not like us. This guy. Because then he's on Twitter saying, yeah, of all the people up there, I believe Jay Juan probably could play because he went to an HBCU. Like, he said that. I'm talking for my opponents.

I'm not saying you can't play, but you and I won't ever be on the same team about anything. I shouldn't be inserted into this foolishness. I think you should be able to get off whatever lies you want to get off on the broadcast. I was more ashamed of the crew. Specifically Ice and Ish. Or maybe they know something about you that you don't know. Which would be? That you're not as good as you think you are. Mark, you're making a grave mistake.

This is not like the basketball thing. No. I think you have a better chance. You maybe have a shot there. I was about to say, you have a shot at basketball. Wait, hold on. Didn't that date pass? No, no, no. He had an emergency. No, not true. That was not the date. We was booking gyms.

Jim was always booked for January. I'm sorry that they didn't let y'all know that, but it's booked for January. That's probably my bonus email. Yeah, I couldn't believe they let you sit up there and say that in any set that... That I'm a part of. I'm sure you're a fine space player. Seriously, I think you are as good as the average person at space. Oh, shit. I'm just telling you that you can't beat me.

I don't know. I don't really gamble with Spades. No, I ain't gonna lie to you. I don't really gamble. Spades ain't a gambling game for me. Because you don't want to take other people's money. No, it's not even that. We just talk shit when we play Spades. How do you play? Big Joker, Little Joker, to a diamond, to a spade. But we could play black man higher. Or we could just throw him out and say no big face cards. We could do whatever you want. I spoke to my partner about you.

So that was the other thing. I spoke to my partner. So he texted me and says, I just left my partner. Now, on Instagram, you had just left a seven-year-old birthday party. Yeah. So happy birthday to my baby. I love you. Is that your partner? No, my dad's my partner. Oh, nigga, it's over. I'm comfortable. I'm comfortable. We're fine. We're fine.

We're fine. Those are fighting words. Playing with your dad is beautiful. It's a great just the two of us moment. I got cards right there. I will play for money. I don't mind playing for money. Can I plug this in? Is this Marcus? Yes, it is. Hey, Marcus, it's Joe Budden, man. How you doing? I got the number saved. I'm doing great. What's going on? Nothing much, man. Happy holidays to you and your family. Happy holidays to you, too, man. Give me some money, man.

Listen, I'm calling you. I got a really disrespectful co-host who is not only challenging me to a spade game, but once I told him that my partner is my dad. He laughed and said, I'm not worried about y'all at all. Now, this guy, I've never seen him play. I don't know if he played for money. I don't know. I don't know. But I'm just calling you so maybe you could tell him that.

This is a bad idea because I ain't seen you in years, right? Yeah, it's been a while. Actually, before you took off to the moon, yo. Oh, thank you. Thank you, man. Thank you. So can you just tell him as being like one of my former victims? Wow. All right, I apologize. There you go. I apologize. But, I mean, just tell him what type of tree is barking up at least.

He won't put no money up unless he got to lose. If he's a sharp guy. If he like throwing money in the garbage can, just might as well burn it. Which he may. Which he may. But he also said he don't really play for money. He's like one of them guys that play for fun. He went to HBCU. He's a young buck or he's older? Yeah, about 46. It's his birthday today, actually.

Oh, is his birthday? Yeah, whip his ass for his birthday. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yo, Marcus, if you played Joe right now, who would win? You or him? You said what? If you played Joe right now in space, your squad versus his squad, who would win? I have to be honest with you. I mean, I... I'm off the game a little bit. I don't play as much, so- We ended him. Kill me right now. We ended him. Me and my partner came to his place of work and ended him never to be seen again.

Listen, that's false premises, right? That's not the truth right there. This whole shit sounds shaky. That's not authentic. But you know what, Joe? I know you and Jerry, you up the block to me. You know I'm...

I'm going to bring a partner to meet you over there. You can't play with your father because you and your father got too much. I don't know what the fuck is going on. They cheat. I already know they cheat. Talking across the board and shit. I don't think they cheat. I won't call it cheating. That's fire.

If I lean with this, you know what to do. It's like a mental thing. That's just being good at spades. I can live with that. They got that spades connection. I wouldn't want to play with him and the father. You're going to lose. That's it, that's all of A Marcus. Thank you, Marcus. That's all I called you for, my brother, man. Hey. No, no, I know. I hear you getting money too. We gonna talk about it.

My bad, my bad, my bad. That's been going on. But we're going to talk football Sunday. Let's get to it one of these days. 100%. All right, play. Love you, bro. So. That's like Luigi's lawyer. I feel... I feel even better. Now let's bet it. Now let's bet it. I've won awards. He basically said you and your dad talk across the board and you can beat him only because he's been out the game. All right, don't worry about it. I'm going to fix you. Say less. Say less. Don't worry about it. Game night.

Gay Night, My Crib, Monopoly, Spades, whatever the fuck y'all want to play. What else you play? Don't worry about it. Don't worry. Connect Four. What else you do? What other little kid-ass games do you turn around? Uno. Uno.

I'm good at Uno. I'm good at Uno too, but I ain't play Uno. I wouldn't brag about my Uno skills. Even though at my family house, I try to walk in the cousin room and get acquainted with some of the younger cousins. They in there playing Uno. Yeah, I go, get me, deal me in. They playing the new Uno. where you could just...

It's blank cards where you just write the consequence. So they was fucking me up. Switch cards with him. Switch hands with him. Pick up the deck. It's like, yeah, no. I never played that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to switch cards. You got one last card, you can switch it. Do you play space? No. Mel, do you play space? Nope. No, she's white.

Withdrawing. Yeah. I'm just going to find a part. I can get anybody to be my partner. I'm saying anybody who knows the rules and is solid and I'm going to win. I've already said say less, my brother. We're going to work it out. Yeah, we're going to work it out. Say less. We good then. We good. heard enough. Anything else on Luigi? No. I can't wait for the docs.

That I'm ready for. I want to see the scripted joint. I want to see the guy who gets to play Luigi. Like that Aaron Hernandez shit. Is he still fighting his extradition to New York? Yes. Okay. Trying to think of who would play Luigi. That's what I'm saying. I could see... The dude from The Night Of. The Night Of? He's Pakistani. So? Scarface was white. Reverse it. I want to see a doc about how many people from Project Innocence have killed somebody afterward. Oh shit.

That's bad. I think my first episode off, it was like, hey, this guy from Project Innocence. 24-year-old. I was like, hey, wait a second. Philly nigga, locked up for 24 years, came home and killed somebody over $1,400 worth of cocaine.

Yeah, that was a bad choice. They had that settlement. Come on, Project. He won 41 million, right? Come on. I don't remember how much he won. It was a lot. It's enough that you shouldn't be selling cocaine. 4.1 million, I think. There's real killers over there. Oh, yeah. They say 40% of people in death row is...

is not guilty. Yeah. So he just was part of that of the 60s. It sounds like, you know what I mean? They swung and missed on that one. Fucking Jason Bateman tricked me into watching some shit on Netflix. What? Some shit called Carry On. I watch it. I like it. It's like the airport version of Phone Booth. Okay. Jason Bateman is doing some shiesty shit in an airport, and he's...

conned the TSA worker into helping him against his will. I watched it. And good actors in it. It wasn't bad though, Joe. I didn't say it was bad. I need to watch it. I watched the whole thing. It was compelling, but it was a bad Jason Bateman. movie. It was like Jason Bateman picking roles during the pandemic maybe or some shit. It wasn't his normal Jason Bateman type role, but I liked it.

I liked it. Mark, you have so much more than you need to watch before you watch fucking Carry On. The thing I've learned on this pod is I haven't seen things. Mark has not seen The Sopranos. Not a fucking episode. He hasn't seen Green Mile, Shawshank, Game of Thrones. Wait, when did Green Mile make it to the list of things you had to see? Mel says it's one of the greatest movies of all time.

That's a good movie. That tracks. No, no, no. That's not what I said. You said it's in your top 50, right? I said it's in my top. It's not even top 50. It's top five. Wow. Of my personal. Green Mail is not in your top five movies of all time. Listen, you fucking jaded, cynical motherfuckers. Yes, it is. It is a beautiful story that covers all of these themes that affect the human. experience and condition. He died at the end.

Nigga, I didn't see it. Fucking asshole. I've been waiting 20 years to watch it. I'm about to say it's 20 years old. By now, if you kind of missed it, then. I was going to watch it tonight. I'm going to watch it. I'm going to watch Shawshank. I was going to watch Shawshank this weekend. I'm glad you still ain't watching. There we are. I was on the road.

The Sopranos is shocking. That's crazy. I realized what it was after being here for a while. It sounds like I was in jail or something, but what it was is that when I was working on my PhD... I was like, I can't fall. No, no, no. That's what it was. If it came out between. It was a little too busy being a doctorate. From 2001 to like 2005, I didn't watch shit. So everything that came out during that period, I just missed. I kept trying to figure out like gladiators.

All the shit y'all talk about all came out in the same window. The Sopranos, I want to watch, but I just came in too late. I didn't watch The Wire until 2010. I watched The Wire late too. Yeah. I watched Sopranos and The Wire late, but that was still, it's been like 25 years. I didn't know Sopranos was that good. It is. I'm watching it again.

Where does it rank among one of the greatest shows of all time? A lot of people have it like one. A lot of people. I don't know if I do, but not The Wire. I would think it wouldn't even be one among HBO shows. Yes, it is. A lot of people. Yes, it is. Really? Above Succession, above The Wire, above Game of Thrones. I've never watched Game of Thrones. Thank you. Except for The Red Wedding.

I don't even know what that is. And I watched the last season when they start putting Coca-Cola bottles in all the ads. That was funny. Wait, so none of y'all else got like a show or a movie that's like embarrassing that you haven't seen? No. No. I don't think so. No, I've seen everything that's culturally relevant. You know what I watched this weekend? I watched the Christopher Reeve story.

Superman story. I watched it. That tracks. It was a nice doc. Hey, you watch yourself. That's exciting. Hey, I want to give respect to, you know, rest in peace to his wife, man. She's a strong woman, man. I took some things from that. How strong she was. The white woman was dedicated to her husband. A lot of people... A lot of people left him after he became a quadriplegic? He was fucked up. He didn't move. I left with the flu.

Right. I wanted to tweet shout out to Dana but then I realized she passed away as well. His wife passed away. I wanted to shout out to how strong she was. You can shout her out. No, no, she passed away. It wasn't land. I'm sure her family would appreciate it. You think people that passed away can't hear shit? Nah, she can't hear nothing, man. She might be in this room. Stop it with that. Come on, I don't like that. I'll be back to the hats.

Back to the hats again. It's okay. It's okay. What else? What else? What else? Travis Hunter, he got a pass. Everybody gets a pass from me today. I don't have no smoke for nobody, for real. Look what a little vacation does for you. Yeah. Everything is cool, man. Peaceful. Yeah, it's nothing to be. I ain't letting this job fuck my blood pressure up again. Fuck this shit.

Very humbling. The nurse left this morning. You're doing great. Good. Amazon hires Taylor Rooks to lead. Not the NBA pregame. The Amazon. pre-game show. For NBA though. For the NBA. When they get it next year. Shout out to Taylor Rooks, man. For sure. That has made a lot of men very happy. I am so proud of her. Because of her acumen.

She's amazing. She's very good. She's gifted. We shouldn't just do this through the male gaze. We shouldn't just do this through the male gaze. Growth. That's that growth you're talking about. She look good. And she's great at her job. Yeah, I don't want to objectify her. I'll just say, male gaze. It'll help. She's so talented, man. I've known her since...

Since she was working at, I think Yahoo. You know everybody, nigga. God damn it. All the ladies. See your bag? See how this shit works for you, nigga? Wait, hold up. Here it comes. She's like my little sister. Yeah, I know. I used to use that. Oh, that's my sister. Except for Mel. But that's my sister. That old school shit, nigga. You late to the party. No, really. Taylor is the homie. No, because she younger than you, right? You was a professor? I'm like probably...

I don't know. I'm probably 15 years older than Taylor. That's your angle. That professor angle. She used to come to Sixers games, you know, doing some... And I watched her do the grind from like... Yeah, she grew up. She grew up. Yeah. Seeing her journey. I watched her journey. That's important. She actually was friends with one of my exes. That tells us a lot. Clap it up for that.

And yeah, so she was always like the little sister, the homie, but like watching her grind and get better at the craft. You're just more proud of her. So proud. The grind. You're a freaky ass nigga. I'm happy for Taylor, too. Congratulations to Taylor Rooks, friend of the show. We absolutely love her. And shout out to Amazon for promoting black talent.

Yeah. That's the point to me. And think about when we were watching the NBA back in the day when it was like Peter Vesey and all these... Marv Albert. Marv Albert. And now you got Malika Andrews, you know, doing some stuff on ESPN, you know, the daily NBA show, whatever you think. I'm just saying like to see like black women in positions of power in sports.

And visible positions as well. I want to see them behind the scenes as producers, but also on camera. That's a beautiful thing. That's a lot of growth, man. We would have never seen that 20 years ago. Well, I educated them last pod about Jane Kennedy. Oh, the legendary. They know Jane. They did not know. Who's Jane Kennedy? But then I also told them how. That's Angela Davis. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, exactly. Remember she got shout out Miss Fat Booty? She looked like Jane Kennedy.

Nah. That's what most was talking about. Okay. Well, then I also educated them on what destroyed her career. Indeed. We don't need to rehash it. Yeah. Yeah, no. We did it. Married people in the building. Who was the ghetto side of the family at the wedding? Mine. Mine for sure. My side. Okay. How about you? In the event that we are married, no. If there were a wedding, who'd be the- I'd probably plead the fifth.

Pleading the fifth is probably the best shit to do in this instance. I told my girl my answer, though. She knows who I think will be the ghetto people. But don't do it publicly. Smart. No, I plead the fifth on that one. I don't know, man. I just don't know. Got to see. Got to see. Got to see. Listen, I keep saying I want a small wedding. Take me to City Hall. Let me elope. Well, that's what we did, but we're going to do a wedding.

Oh, you're going to do one after the fact? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to do one probably in the next 12 months. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got married because we wanted to be married and all of that. But it's like we want a real ceremony. Hero destination. That's what we've been going back and forth about. You know, I would like something small, simple in a way. But, you know, my mother's older. Our mothers are older, some other stuff.

So we may end up doing something here in the States. So we're really on the fence about it. We're on the fence about it. Why? What you thinking? Oh, no, I'm laughing. My family had a... Some type of family reunion recently in Tampa. I guess we lost the vote to have it in South Carolina where my aunt. My aunts, older aunts, 90, 91, 92 are. And they made my fucking 90-year-old aunt go to death. Holy shit.

I'm going to fuck my family up. So listening to you talk about the moms being older and the destination way, it just made me think of my aunt and how old people get it bad. They just make them track. Yeah. They don't give a fuck. That's fucked up. They don't give a fuck. Where was your wedding? Upstate. Upstate? That's part of what we think about. And Mel, if y'all end up continuing the progress that y'all are progressing on.

What? If y'all continue down this path of love and bliss that you're on right this second. You ain't been to Chicago in months. I don't know how it's... You don't know where I've been. Yes, I do. I track you. You have not been to Chicago. Mel is gassing it, but we're going to let you live. But he's been here. He's been here. Bitch.

I told Mel I read her whole text message when she was feeling free and loose on the pod. She was texting mad messages and her phone was leaning in. You better believe I read it. I was all in her business. I'm with you. Isn't that one of the downsides of like being the only woman in like this male dominated fucking workplace is that niggas is in your like love affair business. Yeah, we're in your business because we love you. It's okay.

I don't think she loves it. We ain't going to let no nigga talk. I ain't asked her about it. I don't think she loves that. Sag after. You think you're letting nigga just come around trying to be down? No, nigga. It's okay. It's all good. But... In terms of weddings, I like the idea of a destination wedding, but there's another half. Barbados? Maybe, yeah. That sounds too expensive already. It does sound very expensive. Very expensive. We think of Puerto Rico.

Yeah. There you go. Nice and simple. There you go. On the Peter Pan. On the Peter Pan. Peter Pan playing? Yeah. Fuck all that. What else is important? Unimportant. I don't care. We can talk about anything. Everyone feel free and loose. Don't call for it, nigga. Don't call out for the looseness. Let it happen organically.

We know this because I'm still waiting for you to tell them what you're doing. I'm not doing it. You got to. I know you want me to do it because you fancy how my brain looks at this stuff. But I ain't doing it. I'm appreciative. I got away with a lot of folks. I'm appreciative and grateful to each member of this podcast for the job that they did. There was a lot of folks. Nigga, what? Yo, niggas was getting shit off.

Yo, you talk about Ice and Ish with the tinfoil hat on about Luigi. Mine is more so on about the drones over Jersey. I was wondering if you've seen some drones. Yes. I don't know this story. What? Are you serious? Man, text Angela Ryan. Man, what you been doing? I've been single for the last five days. Oh. I didn't watch the news. I didn't do anything. You are the news. I was on the run.

I didn't look at the TV. I didn't do shit. Mark, there's drones. There's unidentified drones flying over. He was faithful, right? Yeah. I didn't do that. It sounded like, all right. No, I'm just saying. I was taking advantage. When I get five days away and- don't see the TV or the phone. But he had a baby strapped to him. I had a baby. Yeah, I was parent. I was room service, drinking, chilling, PlayStation, all the faithful marriage shit. Just to let Mel know. Oh, okay.

You can cheat with DaBaby. As a matter of fact, it might actually help, right? Yeah, DaBaby will help you get it off. But that's Tom and Mark, just in general. Okay, so you don't know about drones flying. over New Jersey for several weeks unidentified drones been flying over Jersey every night for several weeks oh is that why y'all was talking about aliens and shit on the pod last week yes It went right over my head. Mad drones. And then, you know, the police, the FBI, a lot of, you know.

A lot of law enforcement are saying they don't know what it is. They don't know where it's coming from, but they're on it. They're trying to identify where it's coming from, but it's some shit going on. And the tinfoil hat, people probably think it's aliens or some shit. Yes. Or something. Yeah. Or something. But I heard that somebody said that she spoke to somebody from the Pentagon and they were saying they were looking at something pertaining to Gamma. Is it the record label?

No, not Gamma Ray or something like that. That sounds like bullshit. Let me find out. You guys talk about it. Trump came out and was like, the government knows what's going on and they're not telling nobody. Now I didn't vote for Trump, but this is one of the reasons I appreciate him. Right.

Because he going to come out and say, it's China. For sure. He going to come out and just kind of say some shit he wasn't supposed to say. I also listen to some experts, some people that work with drones and have military contracts. They were saying that they, and not their expert opinion, they don't claim to be experts and they don't want to spread misinformation like I'm about to do.

But they were saying they don't believe that these are evil drones. They just feel like the government knows where these drones are coming from. He felt like the drones were coming. to smell something yes because there is no reason for he says a drone can't really see anything in the nighttime so there is no reason to send a drone out in the nighttime unless you're in search of a person

Or a thing. So what I got. And he thought that that was a scent. Go ahead. It said, these are our drones tracking gamma rays linked to possible WMDs in a massive counter terror operation. Oh, see that? Y'all got WMDs in Jersey? I don't think it's fair that Jersey gets the drones first. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. I was unshocked by that. Why? Jersey seems like a good first place for aliens to take in this American life.

I feel like so uninteresting. Maybe that's why interesting yet uninteresting at the same time. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like we pay too much in taxes to have to deal with this first. That's a fact. And Delaware is right there. Like if there were ever a test ground. Test over there. They got police officers that's so scared. They didn't put nobody on another police officer trying to shoot at the drone in Jersey. They got officers trying to shoot at the drone.

And it's not, you're not going to hit the drone. Then they had a meeting in Jersey with all the officials. Yeah, they did. They called an emergency meeting. I would play the clip, but it's extremely long. And they called them to the meeting to say, we don't know shit. So some of the officials left the meeting and tore their ass off. I traveled three hours to this bullshit for you to say you have no idea what this is. One of them was like, he was flying a helicopter.

And one of the drones, a few of the drones came up on his helicopter and he retreated because he was afraid. How big are these drones? They're big. Some of them are rumored to be six feet. Eight feet. These are not fucking drones. These are not drones. What are they? Tell us more. They're UFOs. See, there's some of that shit y'all was doing while I was going. That's not gonna...

Nobody knows what the birthday are. What is your basis? The fact that everybody's acting fucking stupid and every law enforcement agency is claiming like, we don't know what it is. No, y'all motherfuckers know what it is and you don't want to deal with mask hysteria. I mean, they are UFOs, but that's...

But sometimes the higher-ups don't communicate with local law enforcement's mail. The FBI and Homeland, they're not communicating with local law enforcement. That's my point, is that they know what it is. And they're not telling us because they're trying to avoid mass hysteria. Humans are so stupid that we assume that same stupidity on other entities such as aliens.

Like, I believe aliens to have better shit to do than to surveil New Jersey during the holidays. Like, what would you say these aliens are doing? I don't know. Just fucking saying on the next fucking episode of Shit Show Earth. I don't know. Maybe they're fucking entertained by the fuck shit going on down here. I don't know. There's nothing going on down there in Jersey, really.

I mean, just life in general. Gotcha. And I feel like if it was really fuck shit, somebody would shoot one of them down or tell them. Didn't you say a cop tried? And they sent another drone. Local police sent their drones. Cops can't hit nothing but black people. As soon as the drone got close to that, it powered the other drone down. So when the police officer sent this drone up and as soon as it got close...

His drone fell down. They say that they do have some special features, like some Apple drones or some shit. Some shit that could just take the power away. But it's not aliens. It's not at all. No, I don't think it's aliens. It's not aliens, Melissa Ford. Okay. Real quick in nigga news. Man outside of the Pentagon with a loaded gun, 14 pounds of marijuana, and a Glock switch in his underwear was arrested. Sleepwalking.

See what I mean? Get you every time. What do these niggas do with the Pentagon? Leave the Pentagon alone. They'll fuck you up in there. They'll fuck you up. Is that breaking? Just now it happened. Like an hour ago. An hour ago. Actually, three hours ago, man, I saw a Pentagon with a loaded gun, 14 pounds of marijuana, and a Glock switch. In his underwear? 14 pounds? That's an interesting...

Yeah. Thing to carry by the Pentagon. He's probably got some, it's probably some legalization message. You know what I mean? This is the people who want to do like suicide by cop too. There are a lot of people right now who have mental health issues that want to get taken out by the government. They want to get shot.

So they go and do these things just to get... Stand in front of the Pentagon with a Glock or do that, yeah. Yeah, you'll die. It's part of their message. I don't know. It's weird to me, but... Like the people that set themselves on fire and stuff like that. Exactly. Got it. Exactly. I wish more people got mental health. We saw the NBA player who just jumped out of a window. What was that, last night? Who the fuck did that? He played for the Magic. I'll tell you his name.

They just want to be Eric Sermon so bad. NBA player jumped out the window. Yeah, he's a European guy, though. His name is... Is he alive? No. No, no. It worked. Oh, okay. I'm sorry to hear that. His name is Janice Timmer? Yeah, I saw that. He passed. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. That was out. They say it's an apparent suicide, but he jumped out of a window. I wanted to ask you a question. Sorry, pertaining to NBA.

Rest in peace to him and his family. How do you feel that the ratings are down in the NBA? Tremendously, Jonah. How do you feel as an avid sports watcher, like ratings are down, NBA is looking like a shithole? They should put better product, better product out. That's how I feel about it. I think these stories are coming out.

faster than i'm used to like even if the ratings are all the way down it seems like there's intent with that story being released the way that it is maybe while they're negotiating for uh streaming rights or whatever's going on i don't know it's above my pay grade but it hasn't been the best Even me as an avid watcher of NBA games, I ain't watched as many as I normally watch. It's almost unwatchable. The Golden State Warriors played the Mavericks. I was watching the game. The Mavericks lost.

No, I'm sorry, Golden State lost, but they shot 50% from three. They set an NBA record for most three-pointers made in a game, the two teams combined. But it was unwatchable because it's just a bunch of three-pointers and dunks. And there's no mid-range basketball. There's not a lot of moving. It's like playing a video game.

Yeah, the NBA seems to be going through what we went through in music, where you just lose the fabric of what you were at one point, and you have to deal with the evolution of it. I don't want to see teams just run up and down and shoot 53-pointers. That's boring. That ain't it. that problem. You said there's no mid...

Mid-range. Mid-range play. What are you talking about? Field goals. From the dotted line to the three-point line. Mid-range. Inside of the field. Not just three-pointers, but other jump shots. 15, 20-footers. Carmelo Anthony. Got it. Okay. Bernard.

King. Got it. DeMar DeRozan. Right. Got it. Got it. And the reason is not just the shot. It's the fact that the kind of basketball you have to play to get those shots are different. You got to set more screens. You got to move. You got to roll. You got to bury. You got to do a lot of basketball stuff. that makes the game the game. It's like if I'm a baseball fan, I love watching pitchers work counts.

I know some people think that's boring, but for me, it's like watching a pitcher work the count. I love that, too. Right. That's what makes baseball baseball. Basketball, to me, is about screens. It's about boxing out. It's about moving the ball. It's about moving without the ball. All those things that you don't see if you can shoot a three. And then run up the court and shoot another three. And even rebounding. People don't rebound anymore in basketball.

Like, I mean, the reason all these guards are getting triple doubles is not because they're such great rebounders. It's because big men. Nobody's rebound. Yeah, they just sit there and wrap the court. And then, yeah, Russell Westbrook can get 15 rebounds. And, I mean, a part of me does feel like it's good for the NBA.

Good for y'all. There was a period, I don't know if that period is over, there was a period where every non-American player was being promoted as if they were going to carry the torch post KD, LeBron, and Steph. The Joker, Greek Freak, Luka. There's a ton of them. So now what? Exactly. Now what? That didn't seem to pan out the way you thought.

who are you going to go to now uh women yana even though i think he'll he'll stay up yeah he'll stay up but everybody's not that you're gonna have to find somebody somewhere to be the face of this thing Yeah, it might be. I mean, you know, it's interesting to look. I mean, Minnesota is not the right market. You know what I mean? But to find a young American athletic player that can play, I think is going to be it.

You also need more rivalry. We need rivalries again, player rivalries and team rivalries. Yeah, yeah. It's soft. Do they take away some of the rules they implemented?

Do you think that that will work, like, you know, some of the penalties and all that stuff? I think they're tinkering. They did the end-season tournament. I think that's tinkering, the playing, which was tremendous. I think they're tinkering. I do think Adam Silver's brilliant. I think he'll figure it out at some point, just not right. a second but got you this is a this is a transition this is a uh transition year for are you gonna put respect on brownie name

Because he had 30 at LA Fitness? No, because he sold 50 million in jerseys. Yeah. I have nothing but respect for Ronnie James. I appreciate the contribution of every member. I appreciate the contribution of the Lakers franchise, including the G League. My issue is not Bronny. My issue is always, they put Bronny in an impossible position.

You said that. That's all it is. I don't have an issue with Bronny. Bronny knows how to play basketball. I don't think he's an NBA talent right now. And I think they're stunning his growth by making him do this. I'm watching him develop in the G League. And that's where he belongs. But the G League development he had would have been even better in college. I just don't think he's never been the best player on any team he's ever been on, which is weird to be an NBA draft pick.

I just wanted him to develop more. But I'm happy he had 30 the other night. I watched that game. I watched how he played. I watched how he moved out the ball. He's starting to figure it out. He's figuring out how to move downhill. He's doing all the things that I want. He's already an elite defender. I love watching him play basketball. Got you. I just don't think he's a pro.

want to ban him from ever talking about Bronny James. It's nothing but respect for him. It's not. It's been nothing but respect. Are we done with sports? Unless there's more sports. I don't want to step on anything. I want everybody to be loose. I haven't heard enough mail. I haven't heard enough mail this episode. I want to ask you about Caitlin Clark. They said that she was close. It's over, buddy. It's over, buddy. Y'all did it. Y'all did that one, too. I watched it.

I watched. Man. Oh, my. Joe has to be back. That was on Patreon. We didn't do it on the major. I watched. Okay. I watched. It's on my list. I mean, I think everybody did a really great job in my absence, and I'm grateful and appreciative. for the work. What went wrong with that topic? My brother. I thought everybody was visible, seen, and heard. I thought everybody did a great job of getting their points out. Listen, man. Listen, man.

Yeah, because y'all do this shit where y'all paint me as a certain, some podcast dictator. And then the fans go along with that and be like, oh, they're so loose and free. I'm like, that'll get them fired. The job is not be loose and free when Joe leaves. That'll get him on. Y'all think y'all helping. I'm just home writing shit down.

He got a whole list of his thoughts. Yeah, but I'm not pulling up. I'm not pulling up. Did anybody here see Cardi being offset, having money wars in Miami? I saw that. During a breakup? At the strip club, right? They ended up at the same club. I didn't ask. He's over here. She's over there.

Pretty close. He's like right there. They were pretty close. He's right here. A section apart from each other. Oh, that's too close. And then they had the money wars. Offset start throwing money over there. She threw money back. She threw money back. He ordered bottles. She ordered bottles.

Oh, shit. He was peeking at her when she was good. They both were peeking at each other. As you would if you're an ex or not ex. I don't know if they're still married or if you're in the same spot. I see that. Would any of y'all do that? Which part?

The money war during a break. Yes. Oh, yeah. That sounds like fun. It does sound like fun. That sounds like a lot of fucking fun. That's better than the other type of war. Yeah, word. I wouldn't want to be in a strip club with my ex. Would you leave? Yeah. Yeah, I would. What a gentleman. I mean, it ain't about being a gentleman. I can't get hurt. What am I, make her leave?

No, I'm just, no, no. I couldn't have fun. I couldn't have fun there with her there. I'm going to have the most fun with her there, nigga. Yeah. Sit right here. I'm not having the money. You one of those money in child support? Here, go pay your kid. I'm throwing all that shit in the air. I'm getting my dicks up.

Yeah, right there. Fuck you talking about? Slow motion. They ain't going to keep throwing dollars around. I'm going to make you feel it. You ain't watching it yet? Get a load of this. That's the next step in the money war. Yeah, fuck is she talking about? Thoughts and prayers.

Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. Anybody see Kodak Black at Rolling Loud? The Rolling Loud Festival? No. I missed that one. I missed it. Yo, y'all are great. He showed up two hours late. Right? That's what you talking about? Stumbling around. Yeah. Didn't know the words to his shit. I just heard it was terrible. Yeah. Yeah, it was bad. Is it over for him? Is it over? No, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. He's just going through some shit.

But how long can you- I do seem over for a lot of rappers, but I would be ahead of myself to say right this second that it's over for Kodak Black. But a lot of rappers, and it's not because of y'all, it's y'all situations. Y'all don't seem loud. Y'all don't seem like it's impactful right now. I think with AI and the internet and the streaming, everything is coming easy to a lot of these. It's not the ground. Is hip-hop under attack?

Wow, he's shooting. Wow. I wasn't wrong with that, though. Joe, I wasn't wrong, Joe. There's niggas that agree with me with that. No, that is. That's what I was saying. Is it? Are we? They seem to be arresting all our boys at the same time. Oh, my God. What would we do? It's all right. If you was here, you would have helped me. I didn't say nothing. I saw it. I loved it. No, you did not. Thank you.

Grateful and appreciative. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. We gotta see. We gotta see. Yo, no, we should do it. We should do Secret Santa. We say that every year and never do it. Thanks. Parks got me a gift last year, so I'm getting him a gift this year. That was nice. Fuck the rest of y'all. But you promised us last year. I don't care. I make promises to break them.

I make promises to break them. I want my cologne, nigga. If we're not all going to do it, then don't look for me to come in. I'm a great gift giver. Don't look to me to come lace some shit. Park set the bar too high, nigga. He smoked that shit. He did. He absolutely smoked that shit. Come on. You could do something like that. Of course, but what else? Do you get somebody that can get everything? Oh, here we go. That's what the bitches keep saying. That's what I was like.

That has everything. Get him a nice hoodie. Girl. I was thinking about that. Get him an Ish hoodie. Some kicks. No. I'm not giving no any shit. And I got an Ish. He got it already. I didn't know he actually got it. I was looking at Neiman. That was hate. She slid down with him too. That was smooth. Facts. What'd she say? I said get him an ish hoodie. I didn't know if he'd actually gotten it. She said she didn't get an ish hoodie. I did not.

I don't think you'll ever get one if you're not paying for it. After you scam niggas for they $100, is she letting that go? Or the cake money. Neither are you. Neither are fucking you. I did like that segment where your press mailer just about, yo, why you be lying so much? Like, that's the one I wanted y'all to hold. It's like, that's a great question. Why do you be lying so much? Like, you don't even have to do it.

She don't. She act like she was down with Mark about the train station saying that Penn Station was further than Newark. Maybe she been to Newark. Yo, Mark, stop. No, Mel announced the end of her podcast. It just started. It's not. Stop it. Season one. Stop it. And don't. Yeah. Don't join forces with that little bitch ass. Oh, shit. I don't.

This is original for me. I don't know if anybody else just said that. I sent out a tweet that said that season one is coming to a close so that... That shit new shit. Wait, what? This is new. This is original for me. That's my new life. I didn't hear nobody else saying nothing. So if there's some shady shit going on, tell me, because I'm down with you. Shady shit. Shady shit. All right, then I'll back off. People acting like, oh, epic fail. Fuck.

Fuck you. I'm getting a set built, bitch. I need some time. I'm sorry. There was some YouTube speculation. I thought you wasn't going to shoot, man. I thought you wasn't going to shoot at nobody. I don't give a fuck. Get your shit off. She mad about that. Show Joe the video you made that you didn't put out. Just show him. Oh, wait, wait, wait. What? She said I'm not going to put out. She made a clap back video. Joe, you're going to laugh. She look crazy.

She look nuts. Like Harry and Tywin. Holy shit. Listen, shut up, you little bitch. It's bad. It's bad, E. Yo. Because Mel ain't built to do the clapping back. It's all right. We got you, big dog. No, you got to see the video, Joe, please. Listen. No, I'll see. Yeah, you old as hell.

Why is she so old? Hello, Mel. It's all right, Mel. We got it. All right, we're back off. You know how long it took me to figure out how to do this? We're back off. We're back off. Holy shit. Listen, I laugh at seasonal podcasts. Joe, it's not nice. I think that's funny. How about this? I think it's brilliant. Interesting concept. I think it's brilliant. Y'all niggas be cooking. I'm archaic. Hey, everybody.

A little season one, hit him with 10 and then go live life. Look at the nigga that's killing the game. Look at the compliments he gets, nigga. Fuck out of here, nigga. What you talking about? You laugh at season though. Shut up, nigga. Right. I think season was wrong. Stop it, nigga. Your sarcasm is on your chest. That little 10 episodes. Yeah, 10 episodes. He said, you stop now?

At 10? Why not step at 5? They be making an announcement like there's so much on their plate. They be like, oh, this season's coming to a close. What a ride we've been on. It's been a fucking month. We've been a great... Nigga, you record five episodes in one week. No, no, no. Big Mel.

And you know what? Fuck you for joining in because you know what's going on behind the scenes. Yeah, that's me and you, though. I can't say it publicly. Mel's working. Yeah, she's going to do some shit. I can vouch for that. Yeah, she scammed another one. I know too. Big Mel. She got another one. I don't know what she be telling these people. Hey, I'm going to get you. Don't worry, Joe. Hopefully Joe's going to see it and bring you on.

No. Stop. Stop it. Mel be using her clown, nigga. Mel be getting her shit. She used her relationship. I can get you to speak to Joe. Nigga said it's episode 10. I didn't speak to Joe yet. I love this lady, son. She's a legend to me, son. And Mel got off that woman's health shit, too. She got off that woman's outfit. Enough about woman's pussy. Let's bring some of my vixen friends up in this piece. Talk about the good old days. I like it. I like it. What the fuck are they talking about?

What else? Stop, please. What else? What else? What else? What else? What else? I don't know if I have too much else that I care about. I don't care about none of this shit, really. How supportive has Sade been with your current vacation? Everything. That's my baby, my life, my world.

All the love in the world to her. Extremely supportive. You can do the marriage thing. Yeah, you married. He's like a married thing, right? That's a married answer. He does are kind of already married. I'm married already. I keep telling y'all, this long-distance shit don't mean nothing. She is the FBI. Forensics on bitches on the internet. Oh, shit. Yeah, no, very supportive. I appreciate her. Thank you, all that. It was great. Were you a little...

Were you a little, because you spoke to Mama Love, were you a little in your Joe mood? Because I know it takes a while for somebody to get through that. Meaning like... It happened. Were you forthcoming or you didn't feel like speaking? Did you go into, I want to speak right now. No, I was fine. Okay. She's seen me sleepwalk. He kept telling me you were fine too.

He's fine. Outside of having to deal with all that's come from what took place, I am all right. My mental health, I'm unhappy. It's been fine, but that is... it's some real joe real shit to have to deal with right like all right let's get to the bottom of sleepwalking now and how do you rectify this do you put a lock You put a lock, lock yourself in. Got to be childproof. Yeah. Yeah. Honestly, like I've never had to even, even when I slip walk in the Ian's fucking bed, I didn't leave saying,

Well, how do I fix that? Oh, shit. No, boy. A dog collar. That's what you think. I just think that's some wild shit to have to put. Such is life. Life is gone life. Like I said, I'm pretty resilient. I'm pretty resilient, and I got the greatest God in the world, so it's okay. You can't catch a break, though, Joe. You can't catch a break. Nah, he's got some breaks. I don't look at it like that. I don't look at it like that at all.

I don't look at it like that at all. Maybe it's me. Sorry. I feel like every time God, every time God is about to put me through like some life changing shit. he'd throw a little test my way. And how do you go about that? Like you say you ready for the position that you say you ready for and to be in that, handle this one and let's see. Because this could go right or left.

So I feel like this is one of those. There's some shit to deal with before God preps me for whatever that next step and next level is. So that's how I look at it. I'm pretty positive. That's good perspective. Pretty positive. I'm not so negative all the time. We wish we would have heard that from you on the phone, nigga. Fuck out of here. That nigga's gonna worry, nigga. Fuck you, man. Well, listen, I thought I was coming back to tell a long, big story and all that, but it ain't about me.

It ain't about me. I'm glad y'all held it down. Gave me some time to go do what I needed to do on the side. See a bunch of doctors and shit. That's good. I'm happy. Other than that, I'm cool. I'm cool, man. Fucking sleepwalk. Sleepwalk is a thing. It's a thing. It is. It is. I looked it up. Hopefully none of y'all don't sleepwalk somewhere you ain't supposed to go. No. Pop's not... You and Pop spoke? Yeah.

Okay, he cool. He not mad at you, though, is he? No. Okay. No, he ain't mad at me. You said him and mom was going at it for her and I probably put him in the mood. Shocker to my parents to have to learn that your kid sleepwalks sometimes. I can see how that would be a thing. That would terrify me. Yeah. For them.

That would scare the hell out of me. Do you know when the first instance of you doing it was? Good question, man. Were you like a kid? No. For me, the first time was that EM store in Miami. But that might have been the first time that there was a witness there to tell me. Because if he's not there to tell me, I wouldn't even believe that. Do you find... Okay, I was going to ask. Do you find your way back to your bed? No. Okay.

Well, I feel like that would be. That would be a giveaway. Yeah. So then that probably was the first time. But the human mind is tricky, right? Like the morning that I slept walk, I did wake up on my couch naked. And when I woke up on a couch that I don't normally go to. So when I woke up, I was like, hmm, odd, but maybe a long night. Maybe. Right. You think just maybe a long night. I didn't think I sleptwalked somewhere and ended up on the couch. Like, that's not. Nah.

But if you ended up like on the lawn or on the porch, you'd be like, now that's different. Right. Now that's different. And that's a crime. And that's a crime. Which is, gotcha. So. Which is dangerous. Yeah. And you black in America. So you don't want to give people reason to shoot you. Right. You don't want to give people reason to say that you are a threat or some type of predator or paint you any way that you are not.

so they could be justified and, you know what I mean? Doing what they already want to do. Yeah, like I do feel like there's some people that's trying to George Zimmerman me. Like I do feel like that. But we have examples of that being the case for black people in this country sometimes. So you see certain traps if you're lucky. It's unfortunate, but it is a thing. Like we still...

Nigga. I mean, shout out to your positive outlook on it, man. Shout out. I don't know. Shout out to you. Motivational. Motivational. Whatever, whoever you spoke to, whatever. It's motivational to me, man. That shit would have fucked me up. Just mentally, like, just going through my thoughts. And the way you handle it, you know, I just, I like it.

Just hearing from you makes me feel much better. All right, well, good. Yeah. Good. And I appreciate the concern. Yeah, salute. So forth and so on. All right, so y'all didn't care about the Secret Santa idea. I'm down. I suggested it last year. Back to white people during Christmas shopping. White people, they're going in the liquor stores buying bottles of wine and asking the liquor store to gift wrap it. I've seen it.

Yeah, that's a thing. That's a thing. That liquor store by me kicked them white people to fuck. No, we do not do gift wrapping. You take all of these bottles and get the fuck out. They be trying to buy a lot of bottles. I saw a white person in Nordstrom tell the person I can watch my dog. Watch my dog real quick. I would never. Somebody might steal her. Nobody wants Daisy. Are you fucking kidding me? Yes, they do. She almost got stolen one time when I was walking her.

You told that story mad time to me. Nigga, you almost got stolen one time when you were walking in your little dog walking outfits in the park. I'm cool. Travis Hunter, I wish you well. You and her. Who else? Hov, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers to this whole list. I'm totally cool. Is there something that you guys would like to share that the boss has suppressed you from doing so? Or...

You want to open up like a loose and free segment where we share something from our personal lives or experience? Please. No. I think we got it off while you were done. Yeah. We had our fun. Yeah. They knew it was going to come to me with this one right here. No, I seen her. I seen her. She got away with me. God, it looked like you were having a blast. She was Savannah. Oh, my. Savannah. Yes. She was Savannah. It's cool. Okay. So with that being said, we can do sleepers. Mark has a hard out.

So let's let him get his first sleeper. My sleeper is... I realize now we can go old school, so I wanted to...

Hangin' with A-Likes Tellin' a hater to take a hike Take a flight, before I take advice He need my favorite vikes Never met a hoe, I would make a wife Diamond flood to Jesus For the sake of Christ Money that made it twice I made money that made it twice Tell that good girl next door to Molly Good for your paranoia. On the Tascam, I used to trashcan these loops

Cruise past the feds. Body in a white Buick. Downpour. Only hell. Outlaw. Josie Wales. Boxing at a southpaw. Scalp y'all for ponytails. Holy grail. From Jordan Peterson Sheesh The bloodthirst make me bust first Like Adam Court and Eve That was dope. Shout out to them. Shout out to Vic. You did the beat and was the other MC on it. Yo, listen. I'm going to the Bronx. One of my favorite people right now. Connie Diamond featuring Don Q. Make amends.

My hitters in the field full of green like running backs. I touch down, delivery clean, a hundred pack. Then Yayo said something to me, no money bag. But we ain't sipping no Akeesha, just a pre-roll of smoke, now hot's the La Vista.

I've been that bitch. Every day my drips look like Easter. Still won't miss. And I'm charging niggas tax on features. I don't gang bang, but I be with cuz like Skeeter. Hella rich. And I still be in a trap like Bieber's bitch. If I ever catch a charge, I plead the fifth. You be in the ER. We'll see you next time.

Watch him movin', he gon' have you runnin', sprintin' and shit Might pour an eight to the face My homie came home from a body, cause them people ain't have a trace for a case Watch how he movin', I could tell a snake by his pace Hit up the view, and I had my little ones wait by your wake Middle of the jungle, I let my jewelry floor Old bitches tryna come through now a day but they lost

They were saying fuck me, now they wanna make amends It's a gathering left against us and playing time And the bad bitches that bring it on paper and love you Make the money, I ain't end up making friends They were saying fuck me, now they wanna make amends That's Connie Diamond and Don Q. Make amends. Big Mel. What you playing for us today? Wait. Oh, Jesus. Take the wheel. I'm sorry. It's called Stay Down by Rose Gold featuring Like. Okay. Stay down.

Yeah is rose gold and like stay down and some people on her voicemail it was a vibe though it was a vibe though i fuck with it uh all right all right i found this little tune I don't know who the fuck he is. It's my first time hearing him, but he was flowing. So I'm going with a record by a gentleman named County Boy Solo. Okay. With a K. It's an old record. it's new to me and this record is called identity crisis

No, you niggas, spit off the flow. I'm here for the dough, so get on the floor. I ain't stressin' none of you. Bank of Calvin, addin' up. Don't respond to no subliminals, it's you gon' add a one. We done heard all of the fairy tales. You niggas trappin' up and back it up. She got the smoke, she baggin' up, so baggin' up. I wanna be recognized with the...

Grace, I ain't leaving until I'm eating. My mama says, say, yo, Grace, I just need you to change your baby. Had to tap into my ability. Sometimes it's about my style and comparison. Shit would kill it. This album, you get the real of me. Crazy niggas can't touch it, but still the people be. Outro Music We'll be right back.

Like I'm at the summer now Bitch I'm a star Like when the sun is down None of you niggas start to cry I used to dream a hundred thousand Now it's billions when I close my eyes Always on the grind When I get it won't be no surprise This shit no disguise All white when a nigga feel divine Please don't get me started You won't make it to the finish line Tableto.

Focus on the cream, so one time for that nigga Maxo. I've been handing niggas L's like it's Paxo. Put a balance in the Taxo. I'm milking everything, still I'm Nacto. Designed my Tepato. Do your bitch to backstroke. Say you fucking with me, nigga. He ain't really that close. Used to call me Lulos. Now they call me Solo.

First name Carlos, would've thought I was a Cholo Hi the peeps, it ain't no secret I've been chosen, rest a piece to all the ops I wish that they could switch the clothes I don't want the maddest bitch, you fattest shit or titties spoken Round up that baggy shit, I'm married to a weirdo next like they with the Elliot.

None of your music is my personal preference. All you niggas work is probably need a reference. I'm a boss. Don't shit. Without my blessing. It's fine. Whenever I text her, that's your bitch. I ain't worried. I just fuck her. You can love her. I won't take it. Don't get discouraged. Shit is getting a little blurry. Get into it. I swear you niggas do it. You don't do enough.

All you niggas act in snow in the bluff. You quit when it's tough. You run when it's rough. Identity crisis. You did it your puff. Come through in the clutch. Bet I'm a score. Doing niggas dirty. Never do chores. Better than before. Honored to the Lord. That's brand new old music. They lucky I ain't find this beat when I was rapping for it. I done tore you niggas' asses up. Brand new old music from County Boyd Solo. That record is called Identity Crisis. Shout out to him.

That beat is hard. What's up? And he flowed. He flowed over my mouth. Go ahead, man. Yeah, what's up? All right, man. Little throwback episode. I like it over here, man. Yeah, man. I like it over here. Like, I remember.

I remember now. Yeah, a lot of history was made right here. Nigga, I'm a legend in this building. You shitting me? It's like fucking Kobe seeing the garden, nigga. What the fuck did you talk about? When I see this place, are you shitting me? You know what I did in here? Stop playing with me, man. Anyway. Marcus-ish now.

Bigish, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? A little late interest. That's my man, man. Him in fucking ice. Pulled the Newark boy ropey dope on me. MVP, nigga. Most valuable player. Yo, why you just be making up shit? Who, me? No, I'm not. I told you. Yo, Ice come in. Ish come to the Patreon because this shit is a little smaller. And then Ice called out sick.

And then we hit you back, but you booked to see if you had something to do now. Yo, but I said, but that's not what happened. I said, yo, let me know if you want me moving around. Ian said no. We didn't want you to because Ice didn't call out sick. Then you hit your man, Newark boy. Hey. Hey, yo, hit that sciatica. Hey, yo, dog, hit that sciatica. Some line you can't say nothing about. Yo, push your sciatica. You can't say that. Nigga ain't had sciatica.

for two weeks. Now. Push the sciatica button, dog. Yeah. You knew it, boys, boy. Good to see you, though, man. He said it was bothering him after the last part. Huh? What? I said it was bothering him after the last part. Flip's a good friend. But what do I got to do with that? He said it was bothering him. Look, that's the part I want to know. What do I got to do with that? Yeah, he was talking about getting some acupuncture or some shit like that. Yeah, you're right.

You crazy. You see where your mind goes. And he got a lot of critiques about us too, nigga. That's not true. I didn't have another one. Show him. Show what you did. I'm super appreciative and grateful for the job everybody did while I was gone. Thank you for holding it down. They're making faces. Hip-hop is being attacked. No. But I don't know why. I don't know either. I have no idea why. I just walked in the door. He has been super appreciative.

And how does it go? I'm very grateful and appreciative for the job that each member did in my absence. I am. I don't know why they think that's a game. What did y'all think? I'd be watching and wanting it to fail. Tell me nobody here thinks that. Nobody thinks that. And everybody out there know. I've announced it for years. My dream is...

for this part to happen and me not be here. You said that before. That's a dream of mine. In the past, I felt like if I couldn't make it, then we had to cancel. I don't feel like that today. Okay. Come on, man. Come on. Ronald applause to us. Give the applause. I don't feel like that. I'm picking us up. He was there from day one. Yeah. Hey, security. Listen. That's not what the nigga said. He also stated that.

He was mumbling shit. You got a lot of shit off and y'all got a lot of bullshit off. I didn't say bullshit. I said a lot of takes. What was your favorite topic? He said what it was. He said one of them. Why does Mel lie? Oh, you wanted to be here for that? That was the one. And we still let her live. I got about five Mel lies that we ain't get to. Mel just be lying about you. Bless my girl.

That's my girl. I don't give a fuck what they say. Fuck what they tell my life, nigga. We listen and we don't jump. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Y'all played that game over. No, there's no beef. No, everybody. No, dead ass, yo. No, dead ass.

The job everyone did. I'm so appreciative. They played that game horribly wrong. It's cool. I mean, it's cool. It's cool. It's cool. It's cool. Maybe we'll get our lives on because it's just Mel. She's the only way that can get our lives. Everybody in real lives. Everybody was alive. looser and freer while I was gone. Why do you think that is?

Hey, yo, bro. I don't know, man. Yo, do I get a sleeper? Yo, do I get a sleeper? This nigga walked in and want to play a sleeper? I can't get a damn sleeper. This nigga nuts here. When you want to hear me do it, we walk. get a sleeper. No, nigga. You got here at fucking 4 o'clock. Give me that. I didn't get here at 4 o'clock. You got a fucking sleeper. We got out of here, buddy. Hell no. This guy is crazy, yo. Hell no, Yoga. Damn sleeper.

Holy shit. All right, man. What's this? You'll know it. You'll know this. Yo, why you act like you never recorded in Queens? You part of the fabric. Don't do that. Don't do that. You part of the fabric a little bit in. That's why I was mad you ain't spoiled that move. That's why I was mad. One of them had to be in.

I'm following instructions. Nah, I don't give a fuck what you're talking about, nigga. One of y'all should have been here on the... Come on, you know what we did in here? I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm following instructions. We did it in here. Hey, we can see like AB, the ish when you got here, and ish now. I'm following instructions. And I'm in here with niggas that ain't did it here. They didn't play in this arena.

It's fine. It's fine. Listen, man. Oh, y'all want to do y'all outro y'all was doing? No. Y'all want to do y'all outro y'all was doing? Actually. I've seen the outro, y'all.

Butchered a little poem. Mel is who I got beef with on the line. Why? Yeah, the pretty girls, they don't go out much. Just stagnant bitches. You bitches are stagnant. Need to go to school. She had me down. Big male. Big male. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Listen. Y'all did a lot of mocking on me, obviously. When I get y'all on Patreon, boy. What? No, I don't think so. Mocking of you?

Us? You think Flip held it down on the prize? Brought to you by Powered by Fueled by PrizePix? Do you think Flip held it down? He had to put some Flip on it. You seen the face he was making? He had to put some flip on it. Did Frank Lucas allow that shit? I'm just asking. Everybody seen Blue Magic? My homeboy was doing that shit. I stand behind it. Yeah. It's fine. No more than the CEO of General Mills or Coca-Cola. It's fine.

That nigga was there. Putting his own stick on the coat. That nigga was putting some webbing nitty stick on the coat. I was traumatized until I'm 21 again. Oh, man. Listen, man, keep us in your prayers. Lord knows, especially me. Especially me. Please keep us in your prayers. Lord knows we need to be there. Until the next time.

Yeah, guitars, nigga. Y'all rock. Y'all rock. We bid you adieu. Farewell. Adios. Arrivederci. Hasta la vista. Au revoir. A simple head nod will suffice.
