The podcast reflects on the significant Democratic gains in the midterm elections, highlighting historic wins across the Senate and House, especially in states like Mississippi and Alaska. These victories are attributed to grassroots organizing, youth engagement, and the rise of progressive, diverse candidates—like Daria Lisa and Chris Rabb—who represent a new wave of political activism. Hosts Joe Budden and Mark Lamar Hill emphasize that these shifts are not just symbolic but grounded in real voter demand, particularly around affordability, healthcare, and economic fairness. A central critique focuses on the Democratic establishment’s reluctance to back progressive voices, such as Angie Nixon, due to ideological or financial interests. The hosts also challenge conservative political rhetoric, calling out figures like James Carville for opposing progressive coalitions and pointing to the manipulation of voter fears about immigration and identity. The discussion underscores that political change isn’t driven by ideology alone but by daily realities—gas prices, healthcare access, and economic stability. The podcast concludes with a call to action: voters must remain engaged, organize, and apply consistent pressure on elected officials to ensure their policies reflect the needs of everyday people, not elite interests. The conversation ends with a nod to the cultural impact of shows like *Scandal*, symbolizing how storytelling reflects political dynamics. The tone remains critical, hopeful, and grounded in real-world consequences.

I don't know what the fuck Mark's talking about.
Man, that's not true.
Some of them do.
All right, hold up.
We were talking about election night.
We do backstory, and I was like, damn, I want to see Mark break down some of this election shit.
I was watching the bum-ass NBC fucking white people watching it.
And it said, but Mark don't got nice legs.
Which hurt.
Which was really. They kind of have similar legs.
White bitches might not have nice legs.
Sometimes, but. But they're. That's the anomaly.
I don't think that's true.
Usually, like, the new rules are all true.
I don't think that's their thing.
I thought that was the thing.
Sometimes, they don't have hips.
They have hips.
They don't have ass.
They got hips.
They got hips.
White girls is hippie.
They don't have ass.
White girls are not hippie.
We're not going to misrepresent them.
They don't have ass.
They be having hips.
There's one genre that do have hips.
Huh?
Well, two.
Pogs.
Italian.
I find that Italian women and Jewish women have hips.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I'm not going to argue that.
White women be hippie.
They don't be having no ass.
I'm going to take your word for it.
It's a legend.
He's a white whisperer.
Yeah, he's a white whisperer.
You got enough experience.
No, no, not really.
Oh, shit.
Not really.
Here we go.
Not really.
We know.
Not you.
Not you.
Yo, once a month, you deny some shit, and he insists some shit.
And I don't know who telling the truth, but they should be funny every time.
You know who telling the truth.
Who the fuck are you talking about?
I totally believe Joe doesn't sleep with a white woman.
Has never slept with a white woman.
Whoa, that's a lie.
That's a lie.
I think he's copped to his.
Yeah, that's a lie.
Yeah, he said it was like two.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Two times.
I mean, I ain't to rehash things that we've done a million times.
No, we ain't got to do that.
We ain't got to do it.
Hey, yo, bro, chill.
Can you count it on one hand?
Call it for sake of the convo.
Call it six.
Six?
I know.
I probably know.
Call it six.
Three or four?
Which makes me know the number ain't six.
Be fair.
No, no, no, six.
It's six.
Uh-huh.
What do you think the number is for him?
Oh, shit.
Yo, you can bow.
I asked Mark.
I didn't ask you.
I didn't ask you nothing.
I didn't ask you a thing.
You don't have to take the jury pool.
I know.
I'm asking Mark a question about what he thinks, not facts.
Why you asking what he thinks of you?
Yo, you still going, yo.
Why you asking what he thinks of you, though?
Can Mark just answer the question, please?
Thank you very much.
If I were guessing for ish for white women.
You ain't guessing.
You got to sit up and sip tea and do all this shit.
I'm taking the demon.
I would say 15.
I would say 15.
If it's Joe, I would say about the same.
All right.
You got it.
I don't think it's.
Oh, my God.
I don't think it's that high, but.
Because whatever number it is, everybody got, for lack of a better word, bodies they don't
remember until something happens.
Until your man go whisper in your ear and tell you about the bodies he remember.
Exactly.
Exactly.
That's why I know his six could turn to 12 just with one hobble over that side of the
couch.
One trip to Hoboken.
Exactly.
That wasn't my bag in Hoboken.
What?
That wasn't my Hoboken bag.
That's the Hoboken bag.
That's the bag.
Sure, sure, sure.
It's not.
Any of the white joints I bagged in Hoboken at the little bars, I slid them to Johnny
and Ry God.
Two married men right now.
So, I mean.
And I'm engaged.
I mean, this conversation is just.
Old boy.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, of course.
Old shit.
Old shit.
Come on.
But when you did, was it like, did they have to like clear an extra special bar or was
it just like, or was it an extra low bar?
Like, was it one of those things like, she's so bad I don't care?
Or was it like, she's just available and she happened to be white?
No.
Some of them took advantage of me.
Some of them were so bad I thought they were Spanish.
That happens sometimes.
Like, some of the white girls changed their last name.
Whatever their moniker is.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Or they were Spanish, like Spain Spanish.
Is your six, you're excluding these quote unquote Spanish girls?
Why would I be counting Spanish girls in a white girl conversation?
Okay.
I see how this number gets to six.
I see how the asterisk is.
Becky was in the bar.
Wait, wait.
She was like, oh, I'm down on that.
Nope, she's not white.
She did the macarena.
The macarena.
She's eating guacamole.
She was at Melody.
She wasn't white.
Oh, I see it.
It was fuzzy.
It was fuzzy for a little while.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was fuzzy.
I see exactly how you got to six.
Stupid me.
I thought all the wild and out girls was Latin.
Oh, shit.
Hey, some of the makeup ladies was pretty good.
Now I see.
Oh, my God.
Couple fake tans.
Who fuck bad at white joints?
Look at you.
That's a trick.
Don't answer me.
I'm engaged.
I don't want to talk about this.
What's the answer-ish?
I want to know the answer.
One time.
Before the pot is over, you'll show your best white ass.
Why do you even engage such immature shit?
Yo, don't pay me no mind.
He just did a quick inventory.
Yeah, he was already going through the right.
Oh, my God.
What's one I'm going to go to on this nigga, yo?
Yo, it's good to see everybody, yo.

Big Moan in the building.
Fuck is popping, y'all.
Everybody got their tea?
Oh, I had a question.
Yo, why do you have French toast right there?
I didn't take some of my food.
I'm dying to know who started their morning with the triple-decker French toast PB&J blueberry whipped cream mix.
That shit don't sound bad.
That looks like the breakfast of an at-risk youth.
With a whole container of melted butter.
Who is starting their morning with the fattest shit?
It's not mine, but I'll take credit for it because that shit look good.
I didn't start my morning with that.
That's crazy.
That shit look crazy.
It's just yours.
Mind you, the better, the more important question is, is why does this nigga have our breakfast out?
What is some on somebody else's French toast?
That is crazy.
Oh, somebody's going to eat the rest?
They bought it for a reason.
The first time didn't get a W.
Thank God Urgent Care is close.
Who is that?
Nobody wants to say.
Now, y'all might want to eat your shit.
I hate y'all, yo.
Now, nobody want to own their shit.
But wait, no.
And they put extra, whatever this shit is.
I ain't going to lie.

Busy week.
Busy week.
It's double busy week.
My wife is at a conference, so I had my son, and he's been wearing me out.
So I've been trying to give him a bunch of activities so he could sleep.
He doesn't really care about elections too much.
No, but he definitely wants to stay up to midnight.
I bet.
I am terrible at supervising my children when I. You're just like, go ahead, rock out?
Yeah, until you fall asleep on the couch and pass out.
Dog, so I go bowling last night at 10 o'clock.
My kid wants to come, who's eight.
I'm like, yo, dog, this ain't. We ain't putting bumpers up.
This ain't for the kids.
This ain't that.
Ain't no other kids going to be there.
You say, any girls going to be there?
Nah, no.
No girls.
Just dudes and bowling.
He said, all right, I'm coming.
And I knew I was in trouble when he left his iPad in the car.
Oh, shit.
Once he put the iPad down, I tried to trick him.
You want to bring it?
He said, no, I'm going to let it charge while I bowl.
What the fuck?
I go in there, niggas is there.
You know, niggas is there trying to get to it.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
We gambling.
And I felt bad.
I was like, you know what, man?
You go sit over there.
You want some chicken nuggets?
No, I want a bowl.
No, I want a bowl.
I go find a bowl.
I try to give him all the heavy bowls.
14 pounds.
15 pounds.
Nothing would wear him down, Mark.
He's a little strong.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
He bowled five games.
He bowled every game.
Goddamn.
Yes, he bowled every game.
He even had a strike in one of them games.
I bet he was sleeping when he got home.
It's because the dudes that was there made me feel bad.
Good dad.
Someone said, hey, want to put him in?
Want to put him in?
Why don't you say that?
You look like an asshole.
Yeah.
You got to do it.
You got to put him in.
But, yeah, no, we had a good time.
But, Mark, to your point, tough to wear these little guys down.
It's not just some candy anymore.
No, no, no.
Or candy early in the daytime.
There's never been candy.
No, candy in the daytime.
You're supposed to have candy in the daytime.
Didn't have a sugar crash.
Yeah.
That is terrible.
And at night, a little.
Remember that Ray and Nephew y'all be teasing me about?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Old school.
Old school.
I didn't say anything.
I just said, remember that Ray and Nephew?
They're teasing, right?
Yeah, they're teasing.
Right under the gums.
And the food now that she's going to breastfeed.
Breastfeeding is going to make it tough, I think, to put a little oatmeal in the bottom
of that bad boy.
Hey, you think you're tough?
You up on that crown?
Hold this.
Go get this oatmeal.
Put him down.
You shouldn't do that to daughters anyway.
But anyway, Mark, come on, man.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Come on.
Come on.
Stop playing with us.
Yeah, man.
Let's go.
Yo.
Huh?
This is a crazy.
This is a crazy week.
If you've been living on a different planet for this week, the elections, midterm elections
came back big.
Tuesday night was a huge defeat for Republicans, a huge win for Democrats, a bunch of historic
wins.
I'm talking about from dog catcher up to governor.
Every single race seemed like Democrats were winning.
Yeah.
And Republicans.
Anybody that they've hated over the last few years won.
Word.
Yeah.
The gays won.
Trans.
Native Americans.
Trans.
Native Americans.
Latin.
Native.
Whoever they hate.
Everybody.
Big night.
Yeah.
Everyone saw Mom Dommy cleaning shit up real quick and say, you know what?
Eh, that's not so bad.
So let me jump in before Mark get all educational.
I feel like, and I saw somebody say this, I feel like the rest of the country saw just
how much fun New York was having during the next championship run.
And Mom Donnie with all this progressive shit, streets just been feeling good.
The rest of the country wanted to, you know what?
They wanted to join in on some of the fun.
I don't think you all.
There's no way wrong with that.
There was some strong left wing wins and there was some moderates who won as well, depending
on the state.
And I think that speaks to strategy.
But there's a lot of people that saw Mom Donnie and said, oh, this is possible.
Right.
I don't have to pretend to be something else to win.
I can be myself.
That's what Republicans have been doing for years.
They stopped being moderates.
They said, look, we're going to stop giving you these John McCain's and these Mitt Romney's.
We're going to give you these extremists who want everything that we want and we can fucking
win.
And they kept winning.
And it worked.
And it worked.
No.
Listen, listen, buddy.
Listen, buddy.
I love.
I love what's going on out there.
Same.
The Christians versus the new Muslims.
The old Christians versus the new Muslims?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, old Christians.
Y'all got your hands full now.
But, yo, the new progressive Muslims.
They cool, man.
Yo, them niggas is body and shit out here.
They are charismatic.
They're great.
They're great, yo.
There's a couple races I want to talk about.
First, the big story is that the House and the Senate are under Democratic control.
By a lot.
And not by a small margin.
It was an ass whooping.
As of this broadcast, Democrats have 54 seats in the Senate with Scott Cologne still in the lead in Mississippi,
which is a huge deal.
That's crazy.
And at the time, about five minutes before we started, some more news came in.
The gap is widening even more.
It's likely that he's going to win.
But the tea here, because I tell you, I'm just here for political tea,
is I saw an interview with Cologne talking about how,
he got worried that he was going to lose this in July.
And he didn't care.
He was just doing it to take away votes from the Republican dude, right?
So Republican dude was going to all the black spots in the hood.
So Cologne was like, you know what?
I'm not going to waste my time and go over there.
I'm going to go.
I ain't even going to go out that much.
When I go out, I'm going to these white hoods, and I'm going to talk to them.
And they was fucking with me.
And here we are now.
Well, when I saw this interview, it was tied.
So now I think he's up.
He's up.
By 1,600 votes.
Yeah.
That many?
Yeah.
Because it wasn't that many before.
It was like 20 at one point.
It was like 50, 80 votes at one point.
But here's the even more interesting piece of the story.
He didn't want to be a senator.
He was up for a federal judgeship in January 2025.
Joe Biden approved it.
He was going to be, or 24, excuse me.
He was going to be a federal judge.
And it got approved.
The Republicans approved it.
Everybody approved it except Cindy.
I had Smith, the person he's running against now.
Oh, shit.
She said she wasn't going to approve it because he saw some tie to George Soros
and something about transgender people.
It was like this long-winded, like, this person connected to this person connected to this person.
It was just an excuse to not vote for a progressive.
And so she refused.
He asked, he wrote her a letter saying, please change your mind.
She didn't.
They returned his appointment back to the White House.
And now, nine months later, he says, I'm going to run for the Senate.
Wait right here.
And now he's whooping her ass and taking her seat.
That's what the fuck you get.
I love how, I love stories that end that way.
That's like the best story in the world.
Fucking round of applause.
And the Democrats are about to win Alaska, which will make 56 seats in the U.S.
And there's some gains also in the U.S. House.
Democrats have control of that.
235 seats, I think, as of this moment.
Again, a big deal.
One of the stories.
One of the stories.
One of the stories.
One of the stories that we got to tell people about, I think, is these races are being decided
sometimes by 40 votes, 50 votes, 60 votes.
You can win if you organize and get people out.
We can get the outcomes we want if we vote.
Like, for all y'all to think voting don't matter, there are people who are going to
win Senate seats.
They're going to decide whether or not we go to war.
They're going to decide whether or not you get schools.
They're going to decide all that shit based on whether you and your homies, just a crew
of your homies.
They're going to decide all that shit based on whether or not you and your homies went
out and voted or not.
So this is a big deal.
And it's something that we need to. It's a good point.
And young people in these Senate seats.
Yes.
Young people in these lifelong jobs.
That's been my favorite part.
The diversity is amazing.
Diversity and youth, really, is the bigger thing for me.
That's what was needed.
Yeah.
The whole time.
I love that.
And it's not just Democrats beating Republicans.
It's progressive Democrats beating old guard establishment Democrats.
A lot of that we saw back in May.
Go ahead.
I just want to ask you, I think it's in line with what we're talking about.
Because when Trump was running and we was talking all of that, he seems to be winning
the marketing war.
My question was, why don't the Democrats or the other side seem to have a pulse on who
the next crop of just people?
Like, why don't the mainstream know about that?
So I'm seeing something now that says that Chuck Schumer was fucking putting the press,
like, putting a blanket on, like, being against. All of these new, young, progressive Democrat movements that was coming.
I was like, okay, now that makes sense.
But all these people that started popping up, and not popping up, because if you follow
politics, these people have been there.
But for people like. Publicly.
For casual politic people to now learn about these people, there's some fucking people
out there.
And it's like, okay now.
There's a farm system.
The problem is, like you said, they didn't invest in it.
I mean, if you think about. Yes.
In Florida, just to give you one example.
Angie Nixon.
She didn't win the Florida race, but she only lost it by a point.
She kicked ass.
She kicked ass.
They said she didn't have a shot, so they didn't put any money into it.
No support.
She got 49% of the vote.
Chuck Schumer finally threw, like, some pittance last month, just so it would look like he
was supportive.
If they had invested in Florida, Angie Nixon, this black woman who's a state rep, would
have won that seat.
Would have absolutely won that seat.
And she said she's going to run again in two years.
Right.
But the point is, she always been there, but Chuck Schumer doesn't want those people to
on the mainstream, and this is my issue with Democrats, and one of the many reasons why
I'm not a Democrat, is that a lot of times, the people who actually reflect the values
of the people, they don't want, because their money, their interests are tied up in war,
they're tied up in guns, they're tied up in all the shit that we don't want.
And so Chuck Schumer is never going to just back a Momdani.
He didn't back Momdani in his own city.
He's not going to put money in Angie Nixon, but you still see. It just seems so counterproductive.
Right.
It depends on what your interests are.
It goes against the flow, though.
It depends on where you. Yeah.
Because I think one of the misconceptions that common people have is that the Democrats
are just all for the people, and that shit don't necessarily be true with some of the
motherfuckers.
Yo, we're not shitting on Democrats today, too.
I'm letting you, Mark, know, and Mona, because I know y'all, we're not shitting on Democrats
today.
No, no, no, I'm not doing that.
I got a few Democrats in my shit on in a minute, but. Yeah, I'm just saying that.
Hold on to your seats.
Yeah.
Like, a lot of the motherfuckers be having their own personal interests in mind when
they doing political shit.
It's not always about the masses, and so, to Mark's point, if you're not. If you're not putting money behind this particular lady because she don't have your interests
or the things that you find important at the top of her priority list, then you're not
going to fuck with her.
I feel like the Democratic Party has just been, don't rock the boat for the past. Yeah.
Huh?
While we make money behind the scenes.
Right.
Right.
And that's the problem.
There are certain issues that Democrats. I mean, Chuck Schumer is, like, for the last 20 years, has never going to endorse a candidate
that was pro-Palestine, just as one example, right?
So all these progressive candidates, they either had to. Change their position or be silent on it or not get support.
So a lot of these candidates who came up through the ranks who absolutely could have won. What's the city council, Osei?
I love him.
Yeah.
You know that's kind of a jackson, right?
No.
Yeah, that's jackson.
That's reggie-son.
Get the fuck out of here.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
Crazy, right?
Wow.
Like, he's wonderful, but again, the establishment doesn't want him to get the kind of support
that he's getting.
So that's a big part of the issue.
But now, the structure can't hold it anymore because too many young people came out.
Too many people are speaking out.
Social media has changed the conversation.
There's a lot of that.
So now you got Daria Lisa, right, in New York, representing the third district.
She's Latina, she's Muslim, she's progressive, and she won.
Yeah, she won.
You got Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania, progressive, right?
I mean, you got these great people who are coming out, and they can't stop it anymore.
That's what we. One of the things we learned this week to me is that if we want the world
we can create it, but we got to fight for it, but we can win.
And the old guard has to give it up at some point.
James Carville says something that really pissed me off.
He said, I would rather lose to Republicans by five votes than to. Or rather, I'd rather have Republicans control the Congress by five
than for us Democrats to control it by five.
James Carville was the person who helped make Bill Clinton.
He was one of the major voices of the Clinton-era Democrats.
And his point was, he said, I don't want to win as a Democrat if it means
that we're beholden to the votes of the progressives.
That's crazy.
He said, I'd rather lose than need progressive votes as part of my coalition,
what he called the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America.
He said, I don't want AOC and them to be controlling our destiny.
I'd rather lose to the Republicans.
That's crazy, yo.
Because their vision is different.
They ain't worried about us.
They not worried about us.
That's a smokescreen.
It's a smokescreen, man.
And we saw that.
Another big win was Abdullah Sayyed.
Now he says his whole name.
As soon as he won, he was like, it's Abdullah Sayyed.
And I'm like, man, Muhammad Sayyed.
And it's like, yo, he won.
And yo, I'm going to tell you something.
I love him.
He is the-
Charisma, bro.
He the shit.
He got all the-
He know how to cuss, and that's important.
Charisma, bro.
He got charisma.
Go ahead.
He got the tools.
Yeah.
He got the tools.
He can get it done.
If his name weren't Abdurrahman Muhammad Sayyed, he could be president.
And I still think he could be president.
He got the tools.
I agree.
I have spent the last few days falling in love with Abdul.
He has the tools, bro.
Him and Asaf.
Yeah.
Them two.
Like, yo.
Them two.
And what I like is-
Asaf is tough.
He don't duck questions.
No.
He be like, no, no, no, I'll take that.
Right.
You can ask him some wild-
No, no, no, I got this.
Chill, chill, chill.
I got this.
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
Yeah, and it's been a back and forth.
And now you can't say nothing.
Like, yo, I answered your question.
I'm taking on the most hostile question you could possibly throw at me.
I'm going to be calm.
I'm going to ask you questions back, and I'm going to engage you, and I'm going to make
you look stupid.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, that Muslim Brotherhood clip.
Yo, all of that.
Might have really turned the whole shit for him.
It's a bunch of them.
It really did.
It's like five of them.
And so, like, that level of charisma, his speech, his speech was crazy.
His speech was, not for nothing, his speech was some nigger shit.
Oh, yeah.
He won a Dearborn Muslim.
His winning speech was some bullshit.
Michigan Arabs is like that.
Yeah.
And it was great.
And he's born here, right?
Yeah.
He's a real American.
That's why he's so good at talking shit.
Well, that was the funny part.
When Trump was talking about his wife and showing his wife in her hijab and was like, you know,
and J.D. Vanson was saying, like, look at our wives.
You know, our wives are the real Americans.
We're not this.
And he's like, your wife.
Back to those white legs.
Your wife wasn't born here.
He's like, my wife was born in America.
Yours wasn't.
I don't fuck with the, so clearly you're not talking about citizenship.
So what do you mean when you say she's not American?
You know what he's talking about.
You know exactly what he's talking about.
And he knew how to hold it down.
It was great when dude, you asked the Muslim Brotherhood question.
I thought that was a great point.
He was like, you haven't denounced the Muslim Brotherhood.
He said, neither have you.
And he's like, why do you need me to?
What is it about me that makes you think I need to do this?
We both played football and lacrosse.
We both love America.
We both love freedom.
And I'm looking forward to the conversation.
Do you want to abolish ICE?
Who's going to deport the criminal aliens?
Long before we ever had ICE, we had INS.
We were able to enforce our immigration policies without shooting people in the face and the back of the head.
Green New Deal.
Do you drive an electric car?
I drive a plug-in hybrid made right in the United States.
The bigger question about cars, though, why the president just escalated a trade war with Canada.
It's about to make all of our cars, especially the internal combustion engine cars, so much more expensive.
We've got to start taxing wealth for people who have over $100 million.
I mean, at that point, what do you think you're going to do with more money?
What are you going to do with more money?
Whatever I want.
The question ultimately is, do you want to drive on good roads or would you rather have a billionaire make a second billion?
That's what Mike Rogers wants.
That's what Donald Trump wants.
Apparently, that's what you want.
I think the people of Michigan want something different.
They want good roads and good cities.
It's about your everyday man.
Like, if you're for billionaires more than you're for every other person, well, you and I are just going to disagree.
No, I just think I have the right to the fruits of my own labor.
Billionaires don't make their money off of their labor.
Billionaires don't make their money off their money.
So, if you have a billion dollars, your billion makes another hundred million.
That's not the fruits of your labor.
That's just the fruits of your money making money.
Like, if we tax you at 7%, you still don't make, what, a cool $30 million off your billion dollars?
I think it's okay.
You say you want socialized health care.
Abdul, how much is that going to cost?
It's going to cost the average Michigander a whole lot less than they pay right now.
Substantially less for an everyday person who's out here who can't afford their health care and worried about losing their health care with their job.
I just don't see why you're so on the side of the billionaires, Jesse, rather than on the side of everyday Michiganders.
You want to talk about budgets, I'm happy to do that.
The guy who used to work on your channel, I think he was like the sixth host on The Five,
he wanted to raise our military budget to $1.5 trillion, and you don't seem to be upset about that.
So, we could fight a war we don't know how to get out of to raise our gas prices $5 a gallon?
I just think that we could do a lot better with our money, Jesse.
Everywhere I go in Michigan, people are talking about the fact that they've never had to worry as much about. I'm letting it play. This is a bot.
Are you glad the Ayatollah is dead?
Yeah, I mean, look, he was a terrible person.
Yeah, he was horrible.
The issue that people are worried about is not that somehow somebody's going to come and push Sharia law on them.
The issue in Michigan is people are worried about how they're going to afford their gas.
How am I going to see a doctor when I get sick?
How am I going to keep my job?
I agree with you, but you use these words that sound really foreign to avoid actually having to talk about the issue.
Do you agree that Mike Rogers is a beta?
The guy's a beta, doesn't like to answer questions, and he dodges them.
I think the only answer that Mike Rogers and Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have to this economy is to point to. Point to me.
Scary words associated with him.
Those scary words are not raising gas prices or keeping you from seeing your doctor.
I'm interested in getting money out of politics, putting money in your pocket, passing Medicare for all.
Medicaid for all. Let's go, baby.
75% of the country likes the health care coverage they have.
No, 75% of the country wants guaranteed health care through Medicare for all.
Sex changes for minors.
Do you support that?
Oh, this is the one he smoked.
If you disagree that health care decisions need to be made by a doctor, parents, and a patient, then I just think we agree to disagree.
So you think it's okay for a parent to slash his kid's thing on the university?
Do you really want to have this conversation?
Are you circumcised?
Are you circumcised?
Are you circumcised?
Are you circumcised?
Yeah!
That's a personal question.
Okay, doctor.
You probably should want to move on.
Boys play in girls sports.
I'm not advocating.
You have not asked me one time about the issues that people actually care about in Michigan.
You don't want to talk about gas prices.
You don't want to talk about groceries.
You don't want to talk about health care.
You don't want to talk about this stupid trade war.
You can keep doing the greatest sins if you want.
It's a big issue.
I'm interested in getting money out of politics, putting money in your pocket, and passing Medicare for all.
I'm a. Yo.
Are you smoking?
Smoking.
That's how you win.
She's smoking.
Yeah.
You don't win by ducking the smoke.
Mark, back to you.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
I shot out that.
That was needed.
That was needed.
That's how you win.
You don't duck the smoke.
You don't hide your politics.
You're honest.
You're direct.
And you don't let them determine where the conversation's going to go.
That's the part right there.
He took it from. Every time y'all tried to move it.
No, no, no.
We're talking about this, though.
What's up?
Yeah.
Gas prices anyway.
You talk about some scary shit.
Let's talk about regular shit.
Right.
I think. This is my personal opinion.
I think that the average person in the United States don't care about politics.
Like, to that degree.
They care about what my kids and my immediate family see as a result of the political decisions
that y'all make.
Yeah.
Like you said, niggas can't put gas in they car, bro.
And so we said when Trump got elected that he ran on everyday people not being able to
afford some shit.
And now he's had his time, and those everyday people are worse now than when he came.
And I think that just backfired on him wholeheartedly.
I think that the average people. My nigga, for you to win Texas, bro.
Like, yo, it's Texas.
I've never seen Texas blue in my. Yo, it's Texas.
That's Texas girl life, I don't think so.
Not in your grown life, yeah, no.
When he talks like that, when that guy talks like that, he's helping both sides out because
that fear monger shit works.
It works.
So if you are, you know, a Michigan person, and you on Facebook, and they showing these
scary videos of these Muslims this morning, and they gonna come over here and make your
wives cover, and those women can't drive, that's scary.
But if you remind everybody that that's not an issue that you're having on your day-to-day,
but you are having a hard time putting food in your fucking business, and you are having
a hard time putting gas in your car.
So he's not, it's not, that helps everybody on both sides, because people believe that
bullshit, especially with this AI shit.
People see those videos and think that shit is real.
When you start talking about some trans topic or some shit like that, it's like, yo, fam,
that's 1% of the population.
If 1%. Nah, y'all don't even think it's 1%.
Let's talk about the 70% that can't do these things that are necessities to everyday Americans,
and let's talk about those things.
And I think he smokes them shit.
He smokes them shit.
Can I let my man, can I let my man Ossoff get something?
Let's go.
Let's go.
Let's go.
He didn't play with. None of them at all.
He got right to it.
Hold up now, I need a music bed.
Got some ether for that one?
What you got, man?
What you got?
No, no, no, no, no, I'm just letting the words talk.
Just listen to this.
Five days after his father was re-elected, Prince Don Jr. becomes a partner at 1789 Capital,
a venture firm founded by right-wing activists and Trump donors.
1789 Capital then buys a stake in Vulcan Elementary.
A tiny start-up that says it plans to produce the high-tech magnets needed in drones, missiles,
and satellites.
And about a month after Don Jr.'s venture firm buys its stake in Vulcan Elements, Pentagon
officials learn that Peter Navarro, a convicted criminal, Don Jr.'s close friend, and a top
White House official, wants the Pentagon to give your tax dollars to Vulcan Elements.
Of course.
One Pentagon official said, quote, the call came from the White House, we have to get
this done.
And Athens, to be clear, getting this done means funneling your money to the president's
son's investment.
And so a force like clockwork, on November 21st, just three months after Don Jr. and
his friends bought their stake, Vulcan gets a $620 million taxpayer loan from the United
States.
And the money is paid for with your money.
See, while the world burns and you pay more for everything, your tax dollars become the
royal family's wealth.
Seems to be a common thread for her.
Because it pays to be a Trump.
Yeah.
Especially when the whole world knows Daddy's a crook.
Half a billion from the Emirati spy chief to Trump family crypto business months before
the administration granted him the right to be a president.
And the entire world knows Daddy's a crook.
Half a billion from the Emirati spy chief to Trump family crypto business months before
common thread word because it pays to be a Trump yeah especially when the whole
the administration granted him the right to be a president.
world knows daddy's a crook half a billion from the Emirati spy chief to
Trump family crypto business months before the administration granted the
Emirates access to our most sensitive AI chips 1.6 billion dollars of your money
backing the Trump boys mining interests in Kazakhstan Jared Kushner on the Saudi
payroll while he pretends to lead our Middle East diplomacy and on and on the
Mar-a-Lago mafia really has taken American corruption to spectacular new
heights grifters boy that's the thing we need and here's the thing y'all politicians
at their best can do that but they don't have feelings they have interests they're only going
if their interests intersect with ours.
John, Ossoff, even four years ago,
wasn't challenging the military-industrial complex,
wasn't challenging Israel,
wasn't challenging these things,
but it became okay to do,
and now he's doing it.
And I'm okay with that.
You're bigging him up, Amar.
I am bigging him up.
Don't start your shit.
No, no, no, no.
Don't start taking us to,
we're bigging him up.
No, but we're going to big him up,
but we're going to be critical and honest, too.
The way to get politicians to do dope shit
is to apply pressure.
They never do it without the pressure, right?
That was the whole point of Roosevelt
back in the day and A. Philip Randolph.
A. Philip Randolph sat in front of him
and told him all the shit that he needed done.
He said all the things that were wrong with the world,
all the things that needed to be done
with the labor movement.
And Roosevelt looked at him and said,
I agree with everything that you just said.
Now go out there and make me do it.
That's the thing.
Presidents aren't born, they're made, right?
We create them.
Frederick Douglass makes Abraham Lincoln who he is.
is we've got to make the next president who they are.
We've got to make the next senator who they are.
They'll do that dope shit, but we've got to keep calling for it
because they're only going to do it if there's proof of concept.
That makes sense.
And now they just learned that, oh, we can say some cool shit about labor,
and it'll work.
So let's keep doing it.
Let's keep applying the pressure.
Yeah, Mark.
Yeah, I'm with him.
He caught that.
Yeah, I'm with him.
Well, that's the important part, right, is that proof of concept
that you're talking about.
There's a blueprint laid for how to reach the American people.
Now, whether people are all the way with it or it's just word salad,
that will remain to be seen.
But some of them, it's working on me.
It's working.
I was going to hold you.
And it's a real simple message.
People are having a hard time living a quality life.
Yes.
The end.
I don't want to care about percentage yield.
I don't care about inflation.
Yo, dawg.
Can I feed my kids?
Right.
Can we go to the doctor?
If you break it down into the most layman terms,
then I think it resonates way better than old school politics.
So you said proof of concept.
But I also think politicians move when they have fear of recourse.
So if we say, yo, dawg, I don't give a fuck what you're talking about.
I don't care if you're red or blue.
If you don't do X, Y, and Z, we're not fucking with you.
I think that pushes more buttons, too.
Like, these motherfuckers don't have guaranteed seats no more,
especially with the informed 19.
Yo, my girl.
My son, he know all of his youngest shit.
I'm like, yo, when I was in my 20s, I could care less about some of these stuff.
These 19, 20, 21-year-old college kids, they are really taking an interest in this shit.
They march to go vote.
45 minutes to go vote.
They're taking a pass getting the vote or die T-shirt.
Yeah, like, dawg, I'm telling you.
Which he really meant, apparently.
Sorry.
Who next?
That's a good joke.
Yo, you're an idiot, bro.
But, yeah, nah, this shit.
This shit is reaching people that it didn't reach before.
So, now, you got to take those people into account.
You got to take these 21-year-olds into account.
Their vote matters.
And those 20-year-olds.
You're allowed now.
Yeah.
And they're not fooled by as much fucking Facebook foolery.
They hate all that AI shit.
They can see right through it.
The news don't sway them like it used to sway our panel.
And, I mean, yes, the young, progressive fucking people getting out there.
All the stocks is down, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Everything that homeboy ran on and even some of the mega-wealthy people are just like,
eh, I don't know about all of that.
It ain't looking like that.
Yeah.
I mean, Trump's coalition is crumbling because Trump's thing was, look, I might do some fucked
up shit, but y'all going to stay rich.
Y'all going to eat.
And all your interests are going to be met.
And now, people not eating, that war in Iran that they say was going to be a brief incursion,
fucked up the straight-over moves, didn't just fuck up the geopolitical landscape, it
also made it so that the gas prices are stupid.
Yeah.
And so, people who are willing to ignore the fact that he never is who he says he is, right?
I'm a non-interventionist unless I want to blow something up.
Everybody loved it.
We're fine with that shit while people was getting paid, but now they're not getting
paid anymore.
And then, for him to turn around and when they ask him about it, I loved his appearances
on Fox News.
I loved all the news cycles this week, but when they asked him about it, oh, how do you
think this makes you look?
He's like, I ain't on the ballot.
Right.
Wait, what?
Yo, this nigga is a loner.
They said he handpicked some of those people.
No, he handpicked most of the people.
He said, yo, so if these your crew, you're cool to go after me.
And he was running around saying, vote like I was on the ballot.
Yes, which is literally what he said, vote like I'm on the ballot.
And nigga's like, word?
Word.
Say less.
Yeah, but you see them scamp, they're running from him because he's a one-term president
by the Constitution, and now that the midterms show that he's not that popular, J.D. Vance
already broke down like that.
J.D. Vance is like, yeah, I've seen that.
I think all of, because from what I heard, the Republicans don't really be fucking with
him, they're just scared of him.
Yes.
They are really scared.
Like, they don't really agree with a bunch of the shit that he's doing, they're just
scared of him.
Now, in this next two years, they about to start kicking his fucking back up.
Lay duck.
They're going to start kicking his back up.
And what are they going to do when they make Ohio a state?
Yo.
Seriously, think about it.
Think about it.
Yo, you stupid.
Think about that.
No, no, honestly, I'm joking around, but for more than half of my life, my father has said,
yo, they'll never make D.C. a state.
And he was telling that to me at a time where not only was I not invested, but I didn't
understand nothing that he was saying.
So, for that to be some of the talk, now, for it to be growing, like, louder.
It's a thing.
My pops the other day was acting like he found out Jesus was black.
Seriously.
He saw my costume?
No, for real.
No.
I'm saying that's how he felt after all of that, after all of that, Jesus, heavy and
all that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My family group chat was lit.
Yo, he said, this is my birthday, the holidays, New Year's, Christmas, this is all I ever
want.
He sounded like my grandmother before she passed, rest in peace to her, when she was
like, all I want is to see a black person.
Obama.
Obama.
He was sounding like Obama.
The first Obama vote?
Yeah.
Like, the hope you hear in the older people when it comes to the world that they'll leave
for their kids.
Like, it was interesting to me.
It was interesting.
I just got one last thought I got to say.
No, I'll give you a chance.
What's up?
Mark Iso, nigga.
What's up?
For two hours.
Just, the election brought a lot of good news for a lot of good people.
I'm glad.
I have a message for two kinds of people.
First, to all the people on the super duper left, like me, who were saying, this isn't
a real victory.
It absolutely is a real victory.
I understand.
I'm eyes wide open about who we elected.
They're not perfect.
See, that's when y'all be getting too left.
But, no, no, I'm saying, but.
But, some of you left niggas is too left.
I don't think there's such a thing.
I think it's important to hold the line and be principled, but we also have to operate
within the system that we're in.
And on Tuesday, working class people stood up and said, I want living wages.
People stood up and said, I'm tired of putting my money up to war.
People said, I want to invest in schools and justice and not jails.
People did the right thing.
And they had their voices heard.
And I don't want to dishonor those people by making it seem as if they voted wrong or
they've been duped into believing that the Democrats are going to save them.
That's not the truth.
The truth is, people had their voices heard and they learned something.
So, now that they've learned that they can use their voices and their votes to win, now
let's not hate on the moment.
Let's not hate from outside the club.
Instead, let's use the energy from this moment.
Yes, to encourage people, to do political education, to organize.
Like Ilhan Omar said, we only get what we organize for.
But we will always get what we organize for if we keep organizing.
So, don't be mad at them.
But to the people that are celebrating too much, the Democrats aren't going to save you.
They never have.
They never will.
This is the best opposition.
The Democrats are the best people to be your opposition compared to the Republicans.
But they are not the answer.
Hakeem Jeffries doesn't support Medicare for all.
Hakeem Jeffries supports the Israel war machine.
He's somebody who needs to not be Speaker of the House.
But if he's going to be Speaker of the House, y'all need to challenge him and don't sit back and assume that he's just going to save you.
Don't assume the people you just elected, even if they were progressive, are going to stay progressive.
Because like John Fetterman and others, once they get in that office and they see the bright lights and they see the big stage,
sometimes they change.
So, it's up to you to keep the pressure on.
The big political work doesn't happen every November or even every November and April.
It's every single day.
Contact your congressman.
Join school boards.
Join movements.
Join organizations.
Do the work that needs to happen together so that we can make the politicians be what we need them to be.
They're not our friends.
They work for us.
That's all.
Amen.
That was well said, bro.
I ain't going to hold you.
Amen.
Well said.
Very well said.
Well said.
Very well said.
And necessary.
You know I give you that.
You get scared when you get scared.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know where it was going.
I know where it was going for a minute.
It's some new information.
I know he died.
Yeah, Marcus.
You know, it's a lot of shit going on.
You got to watch, Marcus.
It was some shit announced today.
I'm being well behaved.
It's a lot of shit going on.
Isn't that Yahoo shit?
Yep.
Don't itch always seem like he got some top secret shit?
No, no, no.
It ain't top secret.
I feel like Marcus could be one of them new Muslims.
Oh, my God.
What is he?
He is a new Muslim.
You said Marcus, you meant itch.
He's a new Muslim.
Them niggas is well lathered.
Skid moisture off.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm a 90s Muslim.
Yeah, Marcus old school.
These new Muslims, they changing the game.
Hey, hey, right side, all you MAGA people.
Y'all going to have to find some new insults.
Some new acronyms.
Yeah, y'all going to have to find some new ways to discredit the Muslim movement.
Yeah, nah, they're killing shit.
Yeah.
They are.
What do you want me to say?
Yeah, that's real.
Yo, and the team with Shorty that was running against Abdul.
The one that left that traitor.
Yeah, that traitor bitch.
That traitor bitch.
The one with that thick Michigan accent.
You went to the other side.
He asked her to not show up anymore because she probably was annoying.
She was a big asshole.
And that's how she responded.
She went to the other side and endorsed the nigga that he was running against.
Endorsed Mike Rogers, yeah.
That shit was crazy.
And then they lost.
But after years of kicking his butt.
It's back in.
After years of her representing everything that goes against what that guy stands for,
she ran with him.
And then her whole team won politics.
And that's why I hate this.
The political tea is. Yeah, that shit was crazy.
It was crazy.
It was some wild shit going on.
That shit almost made me want to watch Scandal again.
You know, I just started it again.
The political tea. I'm watching Scandal with my wife.
She's never seen it before.
This shit is. Oh, wow.
What?
I've never seen Scandal either.
Watch it.
You'll love it too.
We're on season two now.
But it's a good show.
I'm trying to like Scandal.
It will change.
You think so?
I've never seen. Scandal is some of the. Scandal is amazing.
Scandal, I would say, are probably some of the best, if not the best reads ever on television.
Really?
Because they do the monologues.
Yo.
Some of the best reads ever on television.
When you say reads, what do you mean?
When you read somebody.
When you read and they write.
Oh, like, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Some of the best.
Eli Pope got some classics.
Hey, the end.
That's how it happened to President?
That's all you got to say.
The end.
Papa Pope against President?
YouTube him.
Yeah, that's it.
The father.
I don't really watch it.
He didn't play.
I never watched it.
When he get to go in.
It's worth it.
Me, Parksor, it's never worth it.
It gets a little weird toward the latter seasons, but I think it's good again.
They all do.
Yeah, but it's good.
Nah, Scandal is that shit.
Scandal and Graze, to me, it's her best show.
I mean, I love Graze, and I've watched every episode of Graze, but Scandal is the best.
Y'all watch a lot of TV.
Graze is great.
She's very different from Scandal.
Yeah.
But in some way, there is a through line.
Also, Scandal with the music?
Just for the music alone, Scandal is the shit.
I mean, Scandal is the shit.
They got a good soundtrack?
I can appreciate that.
They got the best time music ever.
Y'all should start that show, though.
Yeah, I'm going to start it.
That show is great.
I'm sorry.
We watching it again now.
I'm loving it.
Like, for the first time.
I'm going to start that over now, just because.
Well, I appreciate your coverage, Mark.
Yeah, thank you, Mark.
Happy to do it.
Happy to do it.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
Next year, we got to get you, like, a little touch screen.
Yeah, I'm going to be like my manager.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I need to see Mark on my hill, touching the fucking screen.
In 2028, I could probably get him that screen.
Let's get him a screen.
Let's do it.
He deserves it.
Word.
And you're going to put lotion on when you run that screen.
I can't make any promises.
You got to have it.
At least lotion the ankles.
Okay, I'll do the ankles.
I'll do the ankles.
Yo, Mark, for the presidential election, you need to be lotioned.
Listen, when I used to do cable news, I was always looking.
You're too important to the black people movement.
Do you really have to wear lotion, though?
Yes.
Yes.
Like, do you have to?
Yes.
Lotion is pushing it.
Look, when I was on TV, I always had lotion and suits and clean clothes and haircuts.
It's just only since my-
It's a recent thing.
You just gave up on life, yeah.
She just came here and said, fuck it.
It's not just here.
It's not podcasting.
It's not podcasting.
It's not just this, though.
It's this and marriage.
He took that shit right off his grocery list as soon as he stepped down and started being
a podcaster.
It's marriage, Joe.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
It's a combo.
It's podcasting and marriage.
Is that combo together?
That's funny.
Damn.
That is deep.
I realize now that most of what I did was not for myself.
Did you guys hear about the Powerball winner?
Yes, I did.
Over 800.
You know what they say in New Jersey?
I'll hold that.
In New Jersey?
Yo.
Did you play in Montville?
You play every time, right?
When they get up there like that?
You really a selfish bitch, yo.
Don't say nothing to the group.
I hate this nigga in real life.
The fuck is you talking about, nigga?
You outside, right?
No.
All right, what's that?
I'm having a fucking kid.
I'm home.
I'm in the house.
I'm not outside.
You said I could've group text y'all.
Y'all niggas in the group text, I don't know none of y'all group text.
Damn.
That's your fault, though.
Because you won't look again.
Because I won't buy an iPhone.
You have one.
You bragging that you're not in none of our group text.
Y'all saying it's my fault that this is a corporation and because I didn't buy the phone
that y'all didn't need to buy, I'm not included in the group text.
You have a phone already.
This nigga's selling.
This is not a corporation.
Yes, it is.
Yes, it is.
What are you talking about?
I don't buy the right phone.
Look at you, ready to go to the courthouse.
I'm a cop.
I'm watching you two.
And it's just defense.
The green bubble group chats aren't as bad as they used to be.
What the fuck is we talking about, nigga?
They're not as bad as they used to be.
Yo, no, wait, wait, wait.
You can't defend-ish in what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is if he know that the Powerball has reached $850 million.
Once it gets to $400, I play.
He's in there.
I'm playing every time.
Y'all act like the nigga won.
Once it gets to $8, tell somebody else, you bitch.
No, once it gets to $8, I throw $3,000, $4,000 on it.
Y'all act like he was one number off.
This nigga ain't winning either.
Bomb, he lost too.
What the fuck?
Did you check your numbers?
He just so stupid.
Yo, I check them.
You just scan them.
He could have had Roselle and Woodbridge covered.
Freeze could have had Orange, Irving to come.
Nigga, nigga, we could have mapped New Jersey out.
You selfish ass nigga.
You know what's crazy?
Niggas with Brie always win.
I was out west with a one-teeth white people.
All right, Asbury, nigga.
Oh, shit.
Lakewood.
You could have had Maplewood.
You were in that one little red section on the other end.
The white people with three teeth?
That's where they went at.
I was out there.
Is that my family?
They won't tell us.
They won't tell us.
They won't tell us.
Montville died.
They went to Montville, New Jersey.
Oh, so details came out.
At the Wegmans.
Montville and Wegmans.
Motherfucker.
Oh, Wegmans.
I don't feel bad.
Why you don't feel bad?
Because that's a regular person.
I'd have never been in Mountville.
Montville.
I would have never been there.
I've never heard of that.
New Jersey got places I've never heard of.
A lot.
You got some places you don't want to hear of, too.
Yeah, the places that tried to be red.
Just some of that little corners.
I saw the New Jersey map.
Yo, I'm bad with geography, but I know that it was close to Atlantic City.
That's south.
That's down there.
Y'all are angry.
Y'all are angry.
They don't play down there, yo.
They don't play down there.
Y'all are angry about location.
Yes.
I usually get angry about, like, status.
If it seems like the person isn't poor or impoverished, that makes me jealous.
Look, Wegmans speaks volumes.
Because Wegmans, you got to have a couple dollars to go in there.
Wegmans, piece of cement, $30 in there, bitch.
That's the other one.
I would have never went to Wegmans to get a Powerball ticket.
Shit.
No, you go to Wegmans for the chicken sandwich.
And you just so happen to be.
You go to Wegmans for the triple-decker French toast PB.
For $40 million.
Yeah, bro.
Damn.
I would have grabbed one.
Yo, dog, I look at it like, yo, keep it real.
It bothers me.
Look, before the podcast started, we talking about sneakers.
So all of us in here got a multiple to the sneakers.
My nigga, if I could go spend $250, $300 on some sneakers and I ain't going to get nothing
back from it, why the fuck would I not spend $400 to potentially make $800?
Because you're never going to win, nigga.
All right, well.
That's a fucking.
I'd buy the sneakers, but.
Look, even if I hit five numbers, we done wasted more money on bullshit than we ain't
win nothing from.
Y'all are Powerball players.
Wait, why you?
Why you say we never going to win?
See?
Yeah.
Does y'all never want to win?
No, it's a manifestation.
No, it is.
Do y'all really believe that, though?
Because I don't know if you.
Yes.
Like, I'm not going to lie.
I don't play the Powerball.
Like, even when you first, like, when he first got up, so I'm thinking, and then I have to
click, oh, he's saying we could play together.
Like, I don't, that's just something in my head.
I'm never going to win.
True, but you know the person who.
I can crack the four-digit or five-digit easy.
But look, the person who won, you know what they did?
Huh?
The person who won, you know what they had to do?
Play.
Play.
Yeah.
Yo, if you hit five numbers, Mona, if you hit five numbers.
Plus the red ball for the.
Plus the red ball.
That's six numbers.
The odds are one in 292,201,338.
God.
Guess what, though?
Guess what, though?
I'll take the sneakers, please.
Him.
Why'd you say we never win?
Because you never fucking win.
Mona, I got a family friend that hit the lotto for 350 million.
Rest in peace.
He's not here with us anymore.
That's more proof we ain't going to win.
Are you serious?
That's not.
I don't see what you're talking about.
What was kind like that?
Like a Powerball kind of thing?
I don't look at it like you.
And his story was he played the lotto every day, same store, for 30 years.
And one day he was running late for work, and he couldn't make it to that store, so
we asked the man, giving him a ride, yo, just pull over at the store right quick.
He ran in there, played the same number, he hit 350 million.
Shut the fuck up.
350 million.
Yes.
He won.
That's all that story.
Joe's dad's man.
In New York City.
State of New York.
Yes.
Yes, they gave it to him.
I know pure mathematics, it doesn't make sense, but if you hit the lottery for
350 million, I would assume I'm not going to hit.
So why was you so mad when you thought we hit?
Because it's too close in proximity.
Oh, why was I mad?
You cracked you.
No, it's not the same thing.
It was a scratch off, it's different.
It was a scratch off.
The winning ticket was in the room, I was mad I didn't get the winning ticket.
The probability.
If you had went and walked in the room and won, I wouldn't have went after you and played,
I would have been like, he won already.
But no, in that room when I thought there was two winning tickets, I was, I'm still
mad, fuck you, I'm mad again.
Like, yo, I'll play a scratch off, shit like that.
I might, and I'm 50-50 on the casino, because the casino feel like a rip-off most of the
time.
Shit, shit.
It's a racket, it feel like they, the whole, listen, the whole hustle is bring all these
people and we're going to make this certain amount of money, this amount of money, people
make money back.
If you stack up the bread that you'll spend on lottery daily, your parlays daily, you
have a nice lottery at the end of the year.
So I just always looked at it like it was stupid to gamble shit, and every time I gamble,
I never, like I played lottery two years straight and hit shit, I gave up.
You bought Starbucks though.
Like I was one of them bitches, huh?
You bought Starbucks.
True, but I fucking like the taste.
The taste of hazelnut coffee, my nigga.
I'm enjoying that.
That's what I'm going to like the taste of.
You understand?
The taste.
I get it.
I get it.
That mac and cheese.
Tell them what taste you're going to like, big ass.
Big ass.
That mac and cheese.
Is it cheesy?
Why you licking lips so easy to start saying mac and cheese, yo?
That's crazy.
I got two questions for y'all.
What's up?
So first, the winner of this, due to a rare law, only fucking New Jersey, you don't have
to have your name.
Oh, fuck off.
Absolutely.
You can be anonymous.
In most states, you can't be.
New Jersey's one of the few places where you can be anonymous.
Love it.
All of y'all be anonymous?
Yes.
Are you crazy?
Fuck it.
Are you crazy?
You got to physically show up, I think.
So some people will be wearing masks.
Nigga, you wouldn't even see my skin color.
I'd have everything covered.
I know when our family friend won, the rule was you had to pay to remain anonymous.
Okay.
I'm about to pay you.
Okay.
How much you got to pay?
Yeah, you can have that.
How much I won?
Whatever it is, I'm paying you.
You can have that.
I'm paying you.
Mind y'all, you know it's always still a certain type of person that still wants to
be known.
Of course.
They want an announcement.
They want to do an interview and all that.
Listen, there will be signs.
You'll know I won.
Where?
Why is there a spaceship in front of the building?
You'll know.
Why is there an Apple spaceship right in front of the fucking building?
But I'm saying something.
I'm not doing a press conference, but you'll say, okay, that nigga came with some money.
But some people want the world to know.
Sure.
I think most people do.
They need the world.
When I'm sitting here in the Iron Man suit, you'll understand.
Yeah, next Halloween, you're about to be crazy.
The real Iron Man.
No, the real shit.
No, the real one.
Start floating.
No, I'm good.
You're going to say something interesting.
If you won all that money and you really bought the real Iron Man suit, I would tell you to
buy me the Dr. Doom suit.
You would have it.
It's just on GPS.
You'd have it.
Yeah.
Come on, let's try it.
Let's go.
Fuck it.
Can I ask y'all one more question before I go?
Of course.
You get two options.
Both of these are pre-tapped.
options, to be clear.
You can either get the full
$847 million jackpot.
That's the end of that one.
Don't give me $1,000 a week.
Yeah, that's it. I'm cool.
But you can get it
all now, or you can get
$25 million now, and in every year
it'll increase by 5% over the next
30 years.
I'm not going to be here that long.
But you don't get the $800.
I'm not saying it right.
The $847, if you take the
$847 million. Crazy taxes.
They don't give it to you all at once. They give you
$25 million a year, increasing by
5% over the next 30 years.
That's the full amount.
That's the full amount option. Or,
you can get a one-time cash sum
of $363 million.
Cash? Cash me out.
Both are pre-tax, though, just to be clear.
All 20s.
No, I thought the three-somethings.
No, I looked it up to make sure.
Okay. Oh, so they tax
the three-something again? That's crazy.
I don't. Shit, it's a racket.
But let me get that out of here.
Shit, it's a racket, but I like me a crook.
You know what?
I'm going to take the first option.
Salute. You're going to take the what? Joe went the first option.
And you can't leave that, right?
The $800 and something? Hey, Mark.
No, the $25 a month, a year,
increased by 5%. If something happens to you. But it is $800 million. That doesn't carry on, do it?
Yeah. It's $800 million. Because I heard
something different. No, of course it carries on.
Of course it carries on. And that's why I'm picking it.
I mean, that's the smartest way to do it.
No, that's the rich way. Yeah.
That nigga rich already. I mean, $25 million going straight in.
You're rich already. I'm not rich.
$25 million going straight in most people.
Yearly. $25 ain't bad. I'm not going to take this.
Yearly is going straight in most niggas.
Like 6 o'clock.
And you're requiring me
to be here for another 30. Yo, let me get mine.
Give me my. Cash me out. Give me mine, bro.
I'm going over the bank.
You give it to. She's going to get it. I get it.
I ain't going to. It would be a conversation.
It would really be something that I would have to ponder.
I would have to ponder.
$25 million plus a 5% increase
every single year.
You take $25 million and you put that shit in anything.
You could put that shit in T-bills
and live off the interest.
You know what I have to ponder? Where do I sign?
Which one are you taking?
You taking the 360? Cash me out.
It's an annuity. It's an annuity
paid out in 30 annual installments over 29 years
with each payment increase.
It's a 5% by 5% or a lump sum cash option.
A one-time immediate payment of $363 million.
That's a whole lot of money.
When you take all the money, are you still going to run up
to Cut Creators?
Yes.
Dog, that's crazy.
Got him.
You still going to go to all the same spots?
Yep.
I think I'm taking the annual.
Even working in that way is obviously. No, you don't.
Here's why, Ice.
If you do the annuity estimates,
after applying the federal tax rate of 37%,
you're walking with $533 million.
Cool.
By taking the annual, you're making an extra $200 million.
That's a big amount.
Actually, more than that.
Over 30 years, though.
That's the important part.
That's true, but the lump sum. The shit that I'm going to be on. We ain't getting 30 out of this.
And this is why. I'm going to be on bullshit.
Are you going to try to fast-track death?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
If you put it like that, I can't even argue with you.
Yes.
I'm going out with the bang of bangs.
You're losing almost $250 million.
I won't know it.
I might take the annuity.
I said I won't know it.
No rich person would leave $250 million on the table.
I'm not rich.
You would too.
If I were rich, I might have a different outlook on that.
Not just to hash me out.
Everything available to you at $300 million,
if you had $25 million a year or more guaranteed,
every bank that you want to deal with. We'll go get you.
That's what I was just about to say.
Damn.
Everybody's going to give you.
You want to live good.
Every bank in the world.
Every bank in the world will give it to you.
Any creditor, anybody.
You're not going to have $360 million in your house.
This nigga wanted it in his mattress.
You're dead on his shit.
I just told you all about it.
This nigga wanted it in his Nike box.
He wanted it in his fucking shoe box.
He wanted me on a gram.
Do a money slide.
He wanted to do a money slide.
You can do that with a lot more than $300 million.
You can't do that with $360 million.
Crazy.
Yo, now the dad ever is gone.
Now, over, I do miss niggas money phoning on the gram.
Nah, that shit was stupid.
No, that's why I was funny.
No, remember when people started writing the messages in the money?
Yes.
Making the doubt that the women and the men
had stick figures in the money?
These niggas stopped over a couple of fucking
RICO cases and tax evasion cases, man.
Yeah, that's a good reason.
That'll do it.
Niggas is pussy, yo.
I thought you money phone niggas was real.
Them niggas was threatening each other with the money.
Word.
We going to kill y'all.
Hurry up.
Yeah.
All right.
Y'all got it.
Anyway, congrats.
They still didn't say who won, right?
No, I don't think they found the person yet.
I just want to know if he's a white person.
Montville.
Montville.
Wegmans.
Somebody could have been driving down.
Maybe they were door dashing.
I'm just saying the probability is that it's a white person.
Is it a door dasher?
Yeah, OK.
In New Jersey.
Oh, it could be a door dasher.
Do y'all know where Montville is?
Yeah, yeah.
No, they don't.
It could be one of them new Muslims.
Yeah, door dasher.
The devil.
Coming through with Powerball.
They would have never.
No.
I think that shit be rigged.
I'll be playing that shit like, they see my face.
They ain't giving it to us.
We're all shit.
I'm dead ass.
You might pass.
Or if they see your face.
You might be just fine.
You might get it.
I'm black, bro.
I know that.
I know we make a bunch of jokes.
I'm black.
I know you black, but I mean, in Montville.
They move like a nigga.
You white passing.
You like the white bitches that look Spanish.
He is not white passing your show.
He ain't white passing in Montville.
He white passing in Newark.
Not even.
But it's cool.
Maybe Montclair.
Change your last name to Aguilera or some shit.
Wolfensohn.
He Puerto Rican passing.
Yo, congrats to the winner unless you white.
Fact.
Sorry.
That's how I'm on it.
Yo, we got the house and the Senate.
Yo.
Yo, now it's time for my favorite part of the show.

Boy, do we have some ish loser picks for you right now.
Let me give them to you.
Ish is going with.
You can see the confidence leaving him in all these picks.
Dak for more than five rushing yards.
I like it.
That's a bad pick?
I'll take it.
No, that's not bad.
I'll take Dak.
I'll take it.
Gino Smith for more than 212 passing yards.
I'm not doing Jets nothing.
That's me.
Yeah, I'm scared of the Jets.
That's 212?
I'm not doing it.
212 is their tricky spot.
Kansas City, I think.
Yeah, that would scare me a little bit.
Yeah, I'm not doing it.
Okay.
Jonathan Taylor for more than 60 rushing yards.
I feel like he got his bags packed, ready to go.
He's playing the Cowboys, dog.
He's not playing.
He can't stop a run he knows.
He's barely playing.
I don't think he's playing at all.
I think he's mentally checked out.
Let's see.
And Alvin Kamara for more than 25 receiving yards.
Is you rich, man?
You got money to blow.
He just got money to blow.
Fuckin' blow.
Listen, don't forget, if you download the PrizePix app right this very second

Only on PrizePix.

That's right, Shannon Sharp.
Take that, nigga.
You can't fuck with me.
Shannon Sharp and all them niggas got the PrizePix mics.
Shannon Sharp.
Well.
Yes, they do.
They do have the PrizePix mic.
Is that better or worse?
I mean.
Depending on who you ask.
Who you asking?
I'm sure PrizePix paying some spanky to get the mics.
Oh, so I saw it the other way.
Yeah.
Yeah, I see it.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Those are all my brand partners.
Yeah, no doubt.
No doubt.
No doubt.
I'm sure everybody got paid handsome.
A handsome ransom.
I think my rate is probably different to put something on this mic.
There's niggas that look a little handsomer than others.
Not even.
Even if that's a word.
Not even.
Not even.
Yeah, just a longer tenure.
Yeah.
Long, longer tenure.
Longer tentacles.
But I will do it.
If y'all see some shit up here, just know.
Just know.
All right.
So what do we need to get to in music?
There was some drops this week.
Big drop this week.
The biggest one, I would say, would be Baby, right?
Yes.
Yeah, Lil Baby returned with his album Fresh.
17 tracks.
Mm-hmm.
And I played it immediately at midnight.
Got to the intro, and I was like, oh, we back.
Yes.
And that was the highlight of the album for me.
Oh, damn.
It's not that bad.
There was a couple joints on there I liked.
But, yeah, I mean, do you think that the sound, that sound is kind of finished?
No.
I don't think it is.
I don't think so.
I don't think that's it.
That was actually the first thought I had when I listened to it.
17 songs of that same.
I don't know if that shit hit no more.
- It felt like 2019 to me, you know what I'm saying?
- Yeah, it felt so dated.
to me yeah the only i mean the pharrell record uh that grew on me actually i really like i didn't
like it i like the beat i didn't really love what he did with it i think he did much with other than
the hook other than the pharrell shot i actually didn't love the song but i love the production
that's what i said i was one of a few moments i was like this shit sounds right the rest of it
it sounded like it could have been made five years ago
so let me out not only did i put food on the table i even fixed the plate i don't get a job
to hang down trees before i run out of paint i get pounds to dust up in the state you know
they take a date that i've come from another mob this is the intro
this bitch want me to keep it real but everything about her face
500,000 to her lawyer i'm trying to beat the case
the intro sounds good
trying to catch away
i'm just running through the sample i didn't i didn't purchase it
all right i'll just take your word for whatever sound like i just think that um i think atlanta
rap in in general ever since that thug trial is having a hard time um people don't really want to
tap too much into the street shit that much anymore because they're using lyrics in court
it's getting a little rougher out there so we're trying to separate from that but still
keep the authenticity and it's just not it's not connecting the same no more well if you for me
if he had different content i would feel okay with that you know i mean if you want to do
street shit but you're talking about something interesting or you're talking about something
and i don't mean political i just mean like just talk talk your shit in an interesting way
it was just boring like the content wasn't interesting like all my partners was one of
the joints i was expecting to be fired you know i mean it completely i was very let down little
baby young thug i mean it was on paper it looked like this was supposed to be the record yeah yeah
it's not
see what i mean that's the song damn near
i'm not gonna hold you
but look how long this goes though
and they do it again
it's a duet no it's like four
it's a posse cut
man you hit me down yeah well man you're really the road stone
it's fucked up
i like this part of the beat they up a good beat yeah with this beat is hard
i need space right now i need space
wishing i had someone like you for a relation
bitch enjoy oh this is the single they're going for this ain't gonna do it
i see what's going on
we already at rollo let me ask you something it's future on this record yeah yeah it's a huge huge
he's the one that's that long ass hook yeah but i'm not listening to talk no more it's over for that
all right again that goes back to my other point i think that's it why thug can't make the music
that made thug thug it's so weird with though because i love the album there's joints on that
album he put out while he was in jail that i love a lot yeah so for him to be free and but i don't
want to make this about him is the future stimulus package hitting different yes yeah yes
and nobody's talking nobody's talking about it nobody wants to say what's this other record with
him dravis scott and i did not like that i didn't like that i mean it sounded like every other
record that these niggas ever been on i can't say that though because the run to atlanta record was
hard the shit on the album i don't even remember that record that was hard and went hard that was
hard um and that so i can't say that the future stimulus package is over no it's a hit like it
used to
it's yeah it's not that it's not it's not a short bet run to atlanta
this was hard yeah this was hard so i can't say that i like this song i love this
i like the song i like the beat i do like the verses even though they're not talking about i
like the song i do yeah that's um i'm gonna buy the little baby album and listen to it i don't
have anything to say about it because i have not heard it yet and i'm anti-hip-hop so
i will listen to it i will check it out i'm waiting on her and snow like i'm waiting on the r&b
goddesses to come through and do what they do other than that and and y'all will let me know
the other thing about the little baby album um coach k and p sold the qc qc i think some of that's
also at play i mean i know they said they were still being involved on a crit but i ain't involved
have i got how many hundred million yeah yeah yeah i'm no longer i think some of that's also
what's missing it might be the people that was around the team was around the top the the the
topics i used to cover and the way i used to give it up i can't do that it's hard it's all brand new
damn near yeah that's why i walked away from this and i was like all right let me go i went right
back and cut my turn on say all right i'm cool now you gave me my turn i wish i would cut off
the reasons why people cut off the music is because they don't want to listen to it because they don't
artists that are assigned to them when they're in their prime you niggas is fucking a gunner would
have never left my side i don't know what y'all talk about he's snitched and ratted he's in his
musical prime what that nigga get home and drop every time he every time since he get home literally
what it's a business each project gets better he look good his abs he look great they slept on the
run club he's still built like a motherfucker told no yeah i'm waiting on new gunner man
i don't know i'm gonna check little baby out but i don't have nothing to say right now i didn't hear
it that ain't dropped nothing corny yet yeah i'm cool i'm cool on the little baby and i'm not really
rooting for atlanta's hip-hop scene to thrive why i'm not wait because i'm don't tell me some new
york shit no oh okay just rooting for it's hip-hop i'm not from atlanta so what it's hip-hop not at
all it's hip-hop y'all don't work with me and everybody loves the atlanta music scene everybody
and especially
let me tell you for real yeah because i don't have a beef with atlanta i don't did too much of my
greatest work in atlanta for me to have a problem with atlanta i absolutely love atlanta too many
black people of course but atlanta when they went on their run i've said it on here before
boy the way they looked at new york was just like that's new york fault but let me finish
let me finish go ahead because i know you anti-new york i'm not anti-new york i'm a realist i believe
to be wrong i'm just a realist i don't have a bias to either side you have a new york boss anti-new
york no it's not if you live here and make your bones here and you don't root for here i can i
view that as anti but let me get to my point i was saying i was saying hey atlanta's killing
and i loved that early part of the run to walk it out when they redefined everything i love that
crunk error all of that even from there but as new york's greatest artist
or artists that were making some impact started to get killed or arrested i was like okay new york
clearly has to deal with some things that other regions are not having to deal with so it's nice
to see other regions have to deal with some of the shit and have to make impactful music while
you deal with these things and i think that atlanta is in their part of that okay they're
in that part of that new york has had to deal with the police and uh rap the hip-hop cops
ricos just untimely deaths of young people so so yeah now there's some ricos is headed that way and
you got to kind of switch things up and let's see how you evolve in that and i think some of them
out there are having a hard time yeah and that's true and i like in in my hip-hop i like to see
how people respond to adversity it's not that i'm rooting against them but i'd like to see what the
response is and the part you hope the part you're overlooking like belly gang and atlanta atlanta's
run that we speak of was their response to the first time that this happened when new york was
looking at y'all like yeah fuck out of here little niggas that their run was the response you do speak
like you from down there i know he's anti he's anti-up north it's not like he was clowning us
first i didn't say us i said something to say right yeah that's what they said though i'm not
gonna rewrite history why why why did he say the south got something to say because they felt like
that they couldn't break through because he was like joking laughing at him and shit but before
you know a nigga of yours you know you wouldn't think i'm just a realist i feel you i will get
around to the little baby project i didn't mean to uh derail the conversation uh don't
rush though what what don't rush the little baby project yeah you can take your time what what
else dropped jack harlow dropped he dropped a little ep jack harlow dropped music i think it's
important to know because of how we killed him as collectively as the black community in parks
over to monica he's rapping again okay it was mostly girl songs so it's not my cup of tea but
he is rapping again it's back in the right direction okay i didn't press
you're not fucking
with the girl songs
and hip hop
I learned that
I learned that
about you
what was it
last year
whenever you said that
that is so funny to me
there's only
how
there's only a few
Renee
of course
I need love
there's a couple
there's a couple
we don't have to
rehash the list
yeah we did
yeah because I forgot
what was on
Around the Way Girl
yeah that's the classic
what are y'all saying
Perks doesn't like songs
I don't love hip hop
love songs
love songs
not really girl songs
it's love songs
like Method Man
and Mary J. Brown
I love that song
I just said there's not many
there's not many
I said
I think at the time
I said there's 10 or 20
that I love
you like the light
you like like
how's it going down
yeah of course
then the classics
are going to be on the list
I don't want to hear
a seven song
love rap album
today
oh I love that
bringing misogyny back right
it's passing me by
love song
sort of kind of
I like that song
so was
Love Movement
was a tribe album
you just said
fuck it I'm gonna
roll my weed on it
who
no
I don't think
he talking about
none of the tribe love songs
hell no
I said the love movement
the love movement though
the love movement
that specific album
at the time I didn't love it
I grew to love it in
later
okay
fuck these hoes
I'm with you man
it was also the least
fuck that
yeah
um
I feel like I should do
the same sample thing
that I did for
Lil Baby for Jack Harlow
yeah you can give him
a little bit
I am happy that
Jack Harlow has
has got back to his roots
I mean
that's his roots
I guess
he used to make
not necessarily
just girl music
like he has some
good
poignant
records
anything is better
than that Monica project
that is true
Monica was
that is true
it was
Jack Harlow
Babyface
let's go
I don't think so
I don't blame you
what could I even say
I don't claim you
I can shame you

that would
but they lame though

Yo, the West Coast niggas seem to have found a template for how a groove should sound.
Historically, though.
Yeah, I was about to say.
That's their shit.
That's their bag.
You ever heard of the G-Funk era?
Word.
That's always been their bag.
Any DJ Quik ever?
Quik's groove?
Yeah.
Again, this is another record.
I'm not sure is out yet, but this is Jason Martin Problem.
This record is called On Your Mind.
This record is hard, and I'm in support of any record being hard

And I got, what year are we in, 2027?
You're almost there.
Knock another door.
Y'all playing around.
I got about six or seven years, and I'm right there.
It's a big deal, Ish.

It's something to celebrate.
I didn't say nothing.
- Can you get it before then?
- No.
- No way?
- No, no, no, not to do it.
That's the rule, the rule is the rule.
Wait it out, man.
Try to stay alive, try to be alive when it happens.
- You have to sign off on that?
- I will, when he officially does whatever he has to do.

- I think I told you to get 800.
- Here's your dollar.
- 100 dollars, what do you think I own,

My greatest man?
Fuck you.
From what I be hearing, niggas don't be owning they shit.
- Yes, that's what he thinks.
- Yeah, like I don't know what percentage,
you know what I mean?
- That's exactly what he thinks.
- Yeah, no, I figured it out, Mona.
I'm figuring out that's what he thinks.
Shout out to Jason Moyer, man.
- We also got a Currency and Harry Fraud record
that I have not listened to, but they really never miss.
- Yo, can I get a Harry Fraud beat pack

Just on the strength, on some old school shit.
- Fraud'll send you some joints, man.

- Shout out to Fraud, man.
He'll send it to you.
- Shout out to Fraud.
- Okay.
- And we got a Static Select Expensive Taste compilation.
Everybody and they mother on it.
It's real solid, but I've only listened to it once,
so I don't have no deep dive, but it sounds good.
- Jesse Reyes deluxe album that I just found out came out.
So that's one deluxe I will check out.
- We love Jesse Reyes.
- I love me some Jesse Reyes.

- And you talked about the Young Chris project before,
"Catch a Vibe".
- Yeah.
- That was an EP.
- I don't understand what happened there.
- And now it's an album.
- I bought it.
- "Catch a Vibe" or "A Bully".
- Okay.
- Wait.
- 'Cause I think it was like five songs or something.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I didn't listen to it yet 'cause I was confused,
but I'm excited.
- I compare track lists.
I'm like, oh, okay.
- It's got all of them from the EP, right?
And then another, whatever, however many.
So it's a different way of doing a deluxe, I guess.
- Yeah.
- 'Cause the EP was great.
- The EP was fire.
- EP was super fire.
- And the Young Chris is an instant purchase for me.
- Facts, facts.
And the production was right.
- I don't care what he rapping about.
I don't care what he rapping over.
I'm purchasing Young Chris at all times.
- Facts.

That beat is ridiculous.
That beat, that song-ish, you can send that to the one that got away.
I don't have none of those.
Because they don't get away or because. You don't have one that got away.
How about yourself?
Don't deflect.
Crack your fucking head.
You don't want to play.
It's the main.
Yo, why didn't we just let you know that you don't want to play?
Oh, he did his tip.
But what I'm asking is this.
But why do we do that up here?
I'm weak.
Weak.
Yo, I'm addressing you.
I have no problem addressing anything you want to put ping pong back to me.
But answer yours first.
So you don't have one that got away, you're saying?
No.
Zero.
Then that's it, my brother.
Okay.
Why are you getting all defensive?
How about yourself?
I'm engaged.
You didn't answer my question.
Oh, no.
No.
One that got away.
Just so I can understand, when you say one that got away, what do that mean?
Look, he better put his hands in his pockets and sip his tea.
They been here.
I'll blow his fucking head off.
I'll blow his fucking head off his shoulders over there.
Now, he my man, so I'm taking him at his word right now.
But if he get too cute.
I'm cute, nigga.
Let's dance.
Oh, shit.
I'm telling you, this is the main.
Oh, shit.
All your clipper niggas, clip it up, too.
Wait, why are you pointing over there?
No, I'm talking about the JPP team, all the teams.
Yeah, no, that's me.
Yeah, clip it up, nigga.
You're my man, bitch.
What's up?
You scared or what?
I love him too much.
I don't know what I'm doing.
So your final answer is zero that got away.
And your final answer is?
None.
Okay.
I'm engaged is my final answer.
What?
Y'all both happy?
They both got away?
That's it.
That's it.
Y'all got the one.
That's it.
Look at him ready to fight me.
It's over, yo.
I ain't going to expose what I know about you.
Oh, sorry.
It's over.
We on the air.
I ain't going to expose it.
You can't.
Did you, man?
Okay.
I ain't going to expose you, big dog.
We all have to be involved, nigga.
I ain't going to tell them what you was looking like in 09.
Okay.
I ain't going to tell them what you was looking like.
look at you yeah what what else do we have in music you know what i'm talking about i might
spin on that nigga let me see you spin joe you're gonna be spinning all right yeah is there a beef
going on or not with whom usher and chris usher and chris uh started their atlanta run and there's
been all types of just rumors and gossip and tea and shit coming out about it from the show time
like it was supposed to come out a certain time reports are that it came out at 10 reports say
that they didn't do any songs together like they normally do even the ending of the show the ending
of the show there's some reports saying that there was some type of altercation backstage
we don't know if it was uh verbal or physical with chris you never know he will throw a bottle
or one of you R&B niggas.
This is true.
So I don't know.
And we've covered this tour a bunch
because we love both these dudes.
We went to go see it.
Well, y'all went to go see it.
I sent my family to go see it.
It's been uberly successful.
Honestly, if you're asking me with no lie detector,
I'm going to say no, yo.
My public-facing answer is no.
There is no real beef or tension
between Usher and Chris Brown.
And Chris has put out something on the black screen on Instagram that says,
Internet, don't fall for it.
I am going to take him at his word.
Let me ask you.
I've been going back and forth with this.
Because on one hand, right before they started the Atlanta run,
Mercedes-Benz Stadium Instagram page, the way the post read,
it almost looked like an Usher solo show.
It was like five legendary nights in Atlanta, Usher, Raymond, Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Can I ask you something?
Go ahead.
Where's Usher from?
Should it not have?
Right.
If this is the R&B tour, it should.
Now, hold on.
Let me just finish, though.
Well, you said should it not have.
That was my question to you, but I'm not interrupting.
No, if this is the R&B tour, no.
It's already R&B, Raymond and Brown.
Your name is first in everything.
But it was literally, there was no mention of Chris.
There was no picture of Chris
It was just Usher
I saw that post and said
Because I thought
Because they canceled a bunch of shows
Prior to New Jersey
And then they took all the rest of the shows off
This is actually the first show
Since the New Jersey show
Really?
Yes
I didn't know that
Yes, they canceled like four or five dates
Before New Jersey
They did Jersey
And then there were no more dates
Until Atlanta Run started
Just for y'all
So
You know, he was going through his courtship
Right
Oh, true
So when I read this, I said, okay, maybe they thought this would go another way or something, or he wouldn't be here.
But it was interesting.
There was no mention of Chris Brown.
Chris jumped in the comments of that post and said, I'm going to cook blood.
Then I saw, and I don't know if this was after the fact or maybe I missed it first.
I think it was after the fact.
It looks like there was, you know how you do the two slot, two pages?
Also I have another question for you
Do you think that he can cook blood in Atlanta?
No
Not in Atlanta
Then I saw there was a two slide
So they did
You slide it now it says Chris Brown
Five nights legendary
Same shit
They just switched the names
Okay so now that comes out
The whole I'm gonna cook blood
Show happens
You hear
Fresh was DJing
For about three hours
Prior to
Them coming out
Now normally
They come out to party
Which is a
Joint record
Because they're both
On the song
So that's the intro
Okay
And from what I was reading
They didn't come out that way
They've done no
There's like
Three or four different sets
Where they're on stage together
Yeah
None of that happened
where they pick the girls
out the crowd
the shit Usher do
with the cherries
all of that
none of it happened
so it's like
they cut out parts of a show
now and also
in between the switches
while Fresh is DJing
they'll have
that's when they bring out
special guests
or Usher will bring out
a special guest
during his set
they brought T.I.
and Young Dro out
Atlanta
amazing
sure
from all the other shows
the special guests
usually do
three minutes
five minutes
they'll do a song
maybe a song and a hook
you know
two different records
that's it
yeah
said T.I. did about
seven records
almost like a 30 minute set
damn
in Atlanta
in Atlanta
T.I. though
T.I. in Atlanta
it's T.I. in Atlanta
they brought 50 out
in New York
and didn't do that
but they brought
other people out
but 50 also isn't
as active as T.I.
I'm just saying
it looks different
for the show
every other stop
that they went
they brought Kanye out
who did two songs
and respectfully
they were in New Jersey
it's not the same
it's the New York market
it's not the same
it's the New York market
I get it
but it's not the same
it's not Hove
or Yankee Stadium
it's Jersey
I get it
but like I said
they brought Kanye out
but who else
did they bring out
in Atlanta
no no no
just around the tour
T.I. and Drew
yes T.I. and Drew
so what I'm saying
other places
they brought multiple
artists out
is what I'm saying
so if you do 5
you do 7
you do 10
and then
cumulatively
it might be 30 minutes
nobody does 5, 7, or 10
that's what I'm saying
it's literally
just hey I'm here
quick
they brought Future out
I believe there could
have been
well look at the names
you're naming now
I'm talking about
here
they brought Future out
for one song
but when you're
but when you're bringing
out heavy hitters
they might not
sign up to do 4 songs
also
now and your show
and your show ran late
but I'm about to say
if I'm picking up
what you're putting down
it sounds like
there may have been
some technical
difficulties somewhere
I'm not going to say
there was an altercation
something
something happened
backstage
to make your DJ
and somebody needed
to the DJ
and T.I.
needed to buy people
some time
correct
I'm not going to assume
that Usher and Chris Brown
themselves are going
through something backstage
I think whatever
is happening between them
is in the spirit
of healthy competition
I think that they really
do love each other
and I don't think
they want to see
any harm done
to one another
I don't
I'm a cooked blood
healthy competition
y'all playing with me
Atlanta
or the stadium
showcasing Usher
that's home
it's Usher
it's Usher
they gonna do that
I just don't think
Chris is that petty
I don't see it
also he is
it's tough for me to believe
I don't even think of it
as a petty thing
I'm not thinking of it
as being petty
he rarely bites his tongue too
I feel like whenever
there's shit going on
he always find a way
to like pop it
yeah so the fact that
he's coming out
and saying
there's nothing going on
you know what I mean
well that's now
that's now
one because also
when the
when the picture
started going around
of one of the shows
when Usher
which he does at the end
of his set
at every show
puts the crown on
sits on the throne
and all of that
and they started saying
I don't know
for whatever particular reason
this particular
show
that picture started
going around
and it was
Usher crowns himself
the king of R&B
Chris reacted to that
what did he say
it was a
post on a
just I'm gonna show y'all
some very
you know
but it was a reaction
to that
I'm with you though
I do think there is
some level of competition
happening but
this just feels like
it's more than that
I'm not saying that
there was a physical
articulation or nothing
cutting that part of the show
when they performed together
why would you do that
and y'all performed together
multiple different times
it's not like
it's just one set
y'all come out together
and the way the show ended
so
again I've been to this
show twice
me too
the way the show ends
Usher does his final set
Chris Brown comes out
starts the flying around
thing during Ayo
does his final set
Usher comes back out
and they
they do
I think one or two records
and they end with New Flame
Usher does his final set
and says goodbye to the crowd
thank y'all for coming out
leaves
to the world
to the point where
I talked to some people there
they thought the show was over
oh shit he said goodbye
it's over
and it's Atlanta
so oh
Usher's closing the show
cool
out of nowhere
Chris comes out
doing the flying shit
and just does his whole set
by himself
and then he says bye
and leaves
see respectfully
that would have been
where my fight was
like if I'm now
in hypothetical land
I'm closing the show
I'm closing the show
in Atlanta
and any resistance to that
there is an argument
I mean
I see the clip going around
of Usher coming out
saying yo
welcome to my show
and he kept saying
ATL hoe
ATL like I'm reminding you
you in Atlanta
it just looks like
there's some competition
level to shit
they got 13 more dates
left this year
so I don't see them
publicly doing none of that
they're not jeopardizing
the money at all
of course
that's to me
and that's this year
13 more dates
but see to me
that explains the
yo the internet is cap
post
I'm not fucking up the money
even if it is an issue
I'm gonna let y'all think
there is no issue
we'll work through this
but can I ask you a question
does
we're still
assuming that a beef
would make
the tour less compelling
than people
wouldn't some people
come out to see that
if we can't even be
on stage together
it's fucking up the show
oh you mean if people
assume they're not
gonna get a good show
got it
like the people
the people that
brand partners
the people that went
night one
the people that went
night one are pissed
yo I saw that
they are pissed
there's people demanding
refunds
and now the other
my other
as I said I go back and forth
on this topic
the other side is
even when you said
that I'm gonna cook blood
I thought
you know how it go
with a show
marketing
you'll sell it
sell out these dates
and now hey
due to demand
we added two more dates
shit like that
but those dates
were already planned in
the public don't know that
you might be having
again this is five
stadium shows
in the same city
for the second time
y'all already did it
so this is five
stadium shows
it might not be that
easy to sell
all of that out
so you might be
having problems
with the new dates
you added
which would be
the beginning
yeah let's strum up
some controversy
let's do a little bit
let's act like we got
a little issue here
and now let all people
gonna show up
who make it
damn near versus
oh who gonna kill it
right
so I thought
it was some of that
but
you're doing five shows
in Atlanta
and I'm usher
I need to close
three of them
you don't close
none of them
I need to close
five of them
if I'm Chris
you don't close
none of them
honestly
respectfully
that's insane
you don't close
in Atlanta
in anywhere
why
explain it to me
y'all get mad
when I say it
I'm Chris
I'm Chris
you wouldn't be
in these stadiums
if it wasn't for me
this is my tour
my nigga
I just did this
I brought you along
you're welcome
it's kind of the same
I'll take your read
we kind of are
we're gonna highlight
the same thing
and have different
approaches to it
that's part of why
humility shouldn't
really be a big deal
true
I'll let you get that
at home
yeah
you the OG
you got it
I know who I am
I know who I am
I did this
I just went on
this whole run
that's true
this is your first time
international
it's your house
go ahead
for two of them
now
if
I didn't say all of them
no no no
but
how is that presented
that's true
how is that presented
that's true
if you present that
to me the wrong way
now I gotta
now I gotta drop
now I gotta
I gotta drop it on the table
there's no wrong way
for us
he has to ask
but if you don't
you have to ask
but if
but if you come out
with a sense of entitlement
saying yo dog
this is what we doing
blah blah blah blah blah
well that looks different
I just don't
get that from Usher
I mean it's all speculation
we don't know what happened
I'm just going off
artist etiquette
I'm just going off
I'm just going off
artist etiquette
I'll let you get that
it's Chris Brown
who is him
ain't nobody
discounting his
his himness
I agree with that
but on the other side
you're looking at Usher
you're looking at JD
you're looking at
fucking Jonte
you're looking at
fucking D-Cox
you're looking at
it's Atlanta
you're looking at
like
come on
I'm not disagreeing
go ahead and do two of them
and again
this is all speculation
we don't know shit
I ain't called nobody
I don't know nothing
I could make a call
and get the real tea
but I didn't want to
I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I didn't make no calls
yeah I don't want to know
what do y'all think this is
the fucking podcast version
of the shade room
or something
it don't work
you're being messy
and cocky
where would they get
these accusations
what else in music
oh shit
if there is nothing else
in music
we do have
a verses to get to
oh lord
we do indeed
have
a verses
if I can find it for you

Watch your fucking mouth.
Shout out to Jalen Brunson, man.
And his dad who was in there as well.
I think he did great.
A lot of edits.
A lot of edits.
Some more acting classes will help.
Yeah, I mean,
some people are not
naturally just born with a gift.
That's true.
So, I mean, I totally get it.
You gotta work hard at those things, man.
Keep it up.
Maybe they'll put you
in the real law and order.
Big Sweetie.
Niggas ain't even. Yeah, what?
My bad.
You gonna flip on me
in front of H?
No, you my man.
In front of H.
That's what y'all both did
about the same.
It was good.
Mark a piece of shit.
Why is it every time I. Big Sweetie smoked him, man.
I thought he was about to say
not even smoked his dude a lot.
Big Sweetie smoked. It wasn't no edits
on Big Sweetie's, man.
That's the fact.
Talk about it now.
Big Sweetie went right through.
Talk about it, Mona.
That's true.
Fuck out of here.
Big Sweetie ain't do that shit.
Talk straight through.
They ain't do that shit right now.
No, it looked like
they did it only once.
It definitely was a one take.
There's no way.
I'm going to find some shit
you was acting in.
I'm going to find it.
You got enough TV appearances
for me to find something out.
Yeah, God damn it.
No, all my TV appearances
is easy.
I played a journalist
most of the time,
so it wasn't like hard work.
And it's tough
to fucking crack on you
when you do the
host-moderator thing
because you are really good at it.
He crushes him.
I do my best, man.
He's great.
He good.
No, he's good.
I want to see you
do more stuff, though.
I actually think
every time you do it,
it's just going to get better.
It's going to get better.
Yeah.
It has to.
Big Sweetie.
They want to fuck you.
It's only up for me.
Get out of here.
No, no, seriously.
I think you're going to be great.
Or voiceovers.
Listen, I already showed you
what it would be like
if I came and took
Tutuola's job.
Now, I'm aiming for LL

He's on SWAT?
What's the LL show?
What's it called?
NCIS.
NCIS.
LL, watch yourself.
They coming back
to New York, too.
He's been recording
in New York.
I don't know what to. Ty James.
Don't think I won't come for it.
The game be a little off.
Fuck you, A-Min.
Anyway, shout out
to Jalen Brunson.
Shout out to Ray Brunson.
No, he did SNL, too, right?
Who?
Oh, Jalen Brunson.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was a little while ago.
Like a month?
Yeah, I'm just saying
in terms of acting.
It was over a month ago.
Yeah, yeah.
He does really bad.
He's having a nice little run, right?
That's like the big acting gig, right?
Yeah, yeah.
That's live.
Skits and shit.
Yeah.
He's a comedic actor.
Everybody can't be
Big Sweetie, man.
That's true.
Everybody don't have the talent,
the skills, and the timing.
It's Big Sweetie.
No doubt.
Big Sweetie.
Big Sweetie got the. What'd you say
when you first heard
your name was Big Sweetie, though?
Nothing, nigga.
No, I'm just saying
coming into somebody else's arena,
you gotta do whatever they say.
No, no, no.
So to yourself.
You was no. We niggas.
Damn.
Could've gave me another name.
Why?
That's a silly-ass name.
That's why I sound like a big. Nigga, nickname was Mouse.
No, I think the first name
that they had
was Mouse.
The first name they had for me
was, like, Joe Z.
Oh, no.
No, we wasn't with Big Z.
It was something
that was a mess.
Yeah, Big Sweetie it is.
Yeah, Big Sweetie.
Yeah.
We gonna go with Big Sweetie.
Where is your big at?
Whoa.
All right.
Do we have HR?
She need a class, bro.
Bro, I'm talking about
losing weight.
Go ahead, man.
Oh, okay, man.
Go ahead, man.
I can't answer.
Go ahead, man.
It'll get me jammed up.
You heard me?
Go ahead, man.
Go ahead, man.
Go ahead.
What else is important
or unimportant?
Since we're talking
about acting,
can we talk about
Ayesha Curry's new role?
Oh, you'd have to tell me about it.
It's my first time here.
So, Ayesha Curry is in,
I don't know if it's a TV movie
or something.
Oh, she's in the Tubi shit, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, she's in it.
And the internet has been
in an uproar
because there is
a kissing scene.
Shocker.
And so, you know,
the internet is internet.
And so, of course,
they show the still
of her kissing some dude
and they're saying,
Ayesha disrespects
Steph one more time.
Steph, of course,
responded, you know,
in his own way.
He don't care.
He got Yaxel now.
Got a bromance.
Yo, they in love
with Yaxel over there, boy.
She can do whatever she want.
But I don't know.
I was thinking, first,
the internet is just obsessed
with Ayesha Curry.
There's like a corner
of the internet
that just hates
everything she does,
number one.
And number two assumes
that Steph is somehow
being like tortured by her.
And it's like,
niggas got that shit.
I feel like I should
rep for the internet right now.
The internet just pick
her name out of a hat
to start saying
a bunch of shit.
There were some things
that led them
to saying some things.
But then they just
stay obsessed about it, though.
And so now everything she does,
even if it's normal shit,
they go,
it seems to me
that they get carried away.
So, for example,
if you're an actress,
you're going to kiss somebody
in a Tubi movie.
True.
And if you are married. Unless your man named Freeze.
And if you're married
to an NBA player,
a player as big as Steph Curry
and have been on shows
or podcasts before
talking about,
it would just feel good
to be yearned for again
and wanted.
And then you go on
and kiss somebody.
I can see how they would
put one and one together.
Oh, I see how they do it.
I just think it's a. It's silly and foolish.
It's a reach, for sure.
It's definitely a reach.
I get where it comes from,
but it gets stupid
to the point that
she can't do anything
or he can't do anything.
Because he's happy.
Right.
And that's the point, right?
If he wasn't happy,
he would leave, fellas.
No, and he's happy
and curses people out.
Not curses people out
and being silly.
Addresses.
He addresses the people
that have things to say
about how he's carrying it
in his marriage.
And rightfully so.
Right.
It's none of nobody's business.
Ain't nobody's business.
That's it.
That's my thing.
But the question I have for you all,
the thing I wondered about
was how y'all. No.
Really?
I'm sorry, go ahead.
I'm sorry.
I really think your answer is no.
I didn't hear the question.
What's the question?
Could your significant other. Could your significant other
kiss somebody on camera?
I don't think so.
Did she ask?
Was she an actor?
Yeah, acting.
Yeah, otherwise it's just freaky.
I don't mean just randomly like. Otherwise it's just 7-Up.
Was she an actor, actress
before we got together
or was this an aftershave?
Yes.
That matters?
Yes.
What if it was like
her lifelong dream?
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Hey, freeze.
Hey, freeze.
She got dreams from the other day.
Hey, she's still got. He let her have dreams.
She's still got dreams.
Wake up.
All right.
So you marry an actress.
You're saying it's okay.
You accept it.
Yeah, you got to accept
what it was before you got there.
This pod really thrives on
hey, would you let your wife do this?
Right.
It really does.
Because they want us to say
no, hey, you're insecure.
But if you met a woman
and she decided to take up acting
and then she got the job
and she had to kiss the scene,
you would be against it.
What if she's really good at acting?
Or kissing?
What if she's really good at kissing?
Nigga.
Y'all got it, man.
No, nigga.
He answered you before. I answered y'all.
He been answering.
He answered before I asked it.
That's true.
I thought he was joking, though.
You're serious.
Yeah, I'm joking.
Are you going to ask anybody else?
I'm going around the room.
I assume people would just. I'm sorry, you're right.
What would you do?
Yeah.
You know what?
Yeah, she could do it.
Tell him.
How about a sex scene?
Days of our lives or some shit.
Same thing?
General Hospital.
Parks?
I don't think I would be comfortable
with either of these options.
So if you. Is that even if you meet her
as an actress?
No, she was an actress
and obviously then you got. Totally different.
Right.
But if all of a sudden
she called me tomorrow
like, yo, I'm about to. be in this Tubi movie
getting dry humped.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Hold on.
See, Tubi is unfair
because Tubi makes a sound. Tubi is damn near like
being on your Instagram page.
Yes.
Don't do that.
What if it's HBO?
Game of Thrones?
Which HBO?
Because they've been
kind of slipping lately.
Word.
Which is not the Max.
Max original?
Or what?
Yeah, that's. You're right.
Yo, I'm good.
I'm fine with it.
I wouldn't like it
but I would be fine with it.
What'd you know?
He's not being in a relationship.
What'd you say?
I'm not.
I don't date creative niggas
so I don't have to worry
about that.
Aki, if you're a man. Oh, my goodness, yo.
So when Idris Elba
calls you and say,
yo, I'm. Nah, nah, nah.
I'll be okay with it.
I will.
Joe?
Would you be jealous?
Yeah, I'd be jealous
but I'd be okay with it.
Joe?
Button.
Aki.
What are you doing?
I'm making a call.
I'm looking for a song
for you.
Here we go.
Hey, hey, hey.
Would you be okay?
I didn't think
I was involved
in this question
because this is one
of the perks
that come along
with not even allowing
your partner to work.
This is. I don't have to stress myself
with the rigors
that come with her job
or what her boss
is telling her to do.
No.
Why are you not
in the cage?
How did you get
out of there?
Yeah, I don't have
to worry about that.
This is for y'all
to fucking practice.
This is your bag.
Oh, I like the women
at work.
Have at it.
Have at it.
She might do it
for the love of the game.
This is not for me.
Well, if she's for
the love of the game,
she's going to act.
I'm the love of the game.
I'm the king of the play.
Hey, freeze.
Get back in the cages.
Get back in the cages
with the love of the game.
Yo, sometimes she be
trying to pump
some of that shit up.
Like, she used to be
in commercials
when she was a child
and she had to leave
the game because
she just. I can't talk about it.
Yo, stop.
- I can't talk about it.
She was one of them kids.
I don't even know

I ain't mad at that
a ringtone
a bunch of dweebs
no
every joke
doesn't have to
lead to a cheating joke
yes it does

that's true
and cheating
and misogyny
it's all I bag
the special
ringtone

nope

hey
what happened
with Stephanie Mills
and Shannon Sharp
I'm out of this one

I heard some snippets
going around
but I didn't watch it yet
listen I want to
I want to interview
Stephanie Mills
Stephanie Mills
come up here
please
please let's do it
I would love to
she's great
it's too much honesty
who's not her
yeah
she's keeping it real
she is keeping it real
she's still got plenty
in the room
in the hosting
oh for sure
not so much on music
but in a
in a
Docs with Joe
I do want to just
lightly touch on
the Matthew Perry doc
that's on Netflix
I watched it
that I watched
Docs with Joe
stole your whole shit
that's crazy
like when the fuck
did that start
it doesn't have
quite the same ring
as Docs with Joe
wait a minute
was Docs with Joe
something y'all been doing
for years around here
nope
nah
it's my first time hearing it
it's a brand new segment
actually
it's a brand new segment
I feel like it should be
shows with Joe
but you know
how the fuck
can you do Docs with Joe
how does that work Joe
oh shit
she pressing me
how the fuck
can y'all let him
it's colorism
it's a work out
oh shit
my colorism
my colorism
is working
in the whole
in the whole episode
it's working
she gonna let him have that
but y'all gonna let
that nigga steal from me
did you see
did you see the Matthew Perry doc
you know I saw it
and I was in tears
you cried
yeah I cried
I love that nigga man
I loved friends
y'all don't know me
I love that shit
that man struggled
with addiction for years
it was sad
and I felt like
people trusted that guy
I really blamed him
on the guy
the guy that worked
that new
he's a new kid
yeah like
when I found that out
from the sister
I just thought
it was fucked up
cause I had read his book
cause his book
he got real honest
about like
his recovery
and how hard it was
for him to stay clean
or whatever
so for him to even
pass that fast
after the book dropped
and reading the book
and the success of the book
cause he went on tour
cause even his sister
was saying how
it makes her feel better
that the last
Instagram post he had
he was like
in his favorite spot
of his house
in the hot tub
looking out at
LA or whatever
which was also
more of his fault
cause he died
yeah cause he dies there
in a week or two
after that
but I feel bad for him
like I look at that
like a disease
so I feel bad for him
what are you laughing at
how could you possibly
laugh at that
no good
I like Matthew Perry
I do too
me too
it's funny
what the Matthew Perry
you know Mark
what the
what the Matthew Perry
doc
taught me
is
I don't care
to see
any doc
delivered to us
by people
that loved
the subject
okay
oh
okay
cause they don't
show you the real
dog
they loved
Matthew Perry
whoever did this doc
they did
but they were honest too
they were not honest
they were nice
words
they were very
vague
they were very
cautious
and
and
they picked
their words
wisely
and they didn't
really give you
too much information
they said
hey
friends came
it was it
season two
he was struggling
nobody knew
by season three
he was struggling
uh
the prescription pills
turned into
a bad addiction
yeah
so they did
let us know
how he was introduced
which was
the prescriptions
great
the oxys
yeah yeah
similar story
to all I've ever heard
yeah we've heard
this story before
as it progressed
right
cause I didn't know
he was suffering
so early in friends
I did not
how early
almost the beginning
season two
almost the beginning
he started after
he did that movie
with Selma Hayek
if that's
was that
is that who
no he was hot
during that movie
I thought
what's the movie
when he meets the girl
and they
I think that is
Selma Hayek
movie
yeah there was
a Selma Hayek movie
don't rush
don't go too quick
fool's Russian
fool's Russian
when they do that
they're
for leisure
they're jet skiing
on the film
oh you're right
you're right
he hurts himself
the doctor gives him
oxys
it was the other movie
that he was real high for
right right
but so
and that
and fool's Russian
was at the beginning
of friends
he was really
fucked up
from the beginning
they met him like that
that's why they loved him
like that
so I didn't
I didn't know that either
but so they tell us
the accident
hooked on prescriptions
then the addiction
continues
and from that point on
they kind of just
reference it as
the addiction
like a disease
or something
and it is a disease
it is
it is
okay
but it
it implies
to the person watching
that he's still on
whatever he was on
oh they don't say
how he
like moved on
to some other shit
not really
okay
now
later on
they introduce ketamine
yeah
way later on
after the coma
yeah way later on
so for me
as as
as a viewer
it left a lot of space
and from somebody
that struggled with pills before
you left a lot of space
between
the introduction
and ketamine
how we get here
what else
what else happened
and you left it vague
cool
then I'm like
alright
when they get to his death
they'll tell me some more
cause I remember
the details around that
not a fucking peep
nah
not a peep
and his use of ketamine
was for recovery
at first
so at some point
he slips into the point
where he's getting out of control
with it
and it's not
being scheduled, handed to him by people that
the goal is for him to get off of everything else.
And that's how he meet Ketamine Queen and all that, and they all get affiliated.
Ketamine Queen?
Yeah, Ketamine Queen just went to fucking prison for selling him that shit on the street
because that's what killed him, an unregulated dose of ketamine.
Got it.
Because people argue about whether you should use ketamine on your children, on you, or
whatever.
People have came out and said it helped them with suicide, with depression, with all kinds
of shit, drug addiction and all that.
But it has to be in a-
Regulated.
Yeah.
You know, with a doctor looking over you, you're doing recovery shit on top of it.
He slid out of that and into this street shit with them.
Yeah, that was abuse at that point.
But I think that even when Joe saying that they ain't telling enough, I think that even
when I look back on it, it might didn't feel that way because I read the book.
So it was like right after.
Because it's like when you make the story about the motherfucker after they did, some
people feel like they're not going to violate their people like that.
Because he's gone.
And that's what it sounds.
Yo, they kept his sister and the different family members, they kept making it sound
like.
Early on, there may have been something that this guy was running from.
That's as close as they got to whatever he might be running from.
And then throughout the doc.
Because I ain't going to tell you what I said during the doc.
I'll tell you what I said is what I do when I'm in the house and I watch these things.
I try to figure out if people were gay.
Matt was not gay.
You can judge me for it.
I don't think Matt was gay.
You can judge me for it when I'm home alone.
Sometimes I stare at the wall and I try to figure out if people was gay.
Did you have that thought about Matt?
About Matthew?
At the time of his death, I did because how they described his assistant and how close
they were and some of the people that were coming out saying how close they were to him
at the time of, I was like, okay, maybe.
But it didn't matter, right?
Because that's something I do in my own head.
But during the doc, they start, they go from, hey, there was something that this guy might
have been hiding from.
Who knows what it was?
Trying to escape from.
And then randomly they go to all of the different girlfriends he had.
Yeah, that was part of his addiction, clearly.
He had a thing.
With like getting attached to people and then like getting a whole, fall in love with them
and then the next mission would be to push him away.
Yeah, that was part of his addiction.
As a part of his addiction.
He bounced around with women.
You know what's funny?
That's not what I'm saying.
Doc's with Joe sucks.
Yeah, I mean, it suck if you're going to jump in every time.
Because then it's Doc's with Demona.
Every time we do Doc's with Demona, Joe jumps in it, don't he?
Like, doesn't he?
Like, what are we talking about?
That's what I hate.
Points were made.
We need to make it a co-show and not fight about it and share it, but whatever.
We could share it.
I don't care.
I don't mind.
We don't have to share it because you stole it.
Headline in New Jersey.
That's corporate greed.
You said this was a fucking corporation.
Corporate fucking greed, man.
But when they brought up the girls, it was always, hey, it was never a title.
And this wasn't the girlfriend.
This person was just around for nine years.
And they were, it was a bunch of those.
It was, it didn't make sense in the doc is all I'm saying.
Yeah.
It didn't make sense.
I Googled it.
They say he's not gay.
They say he's never been gay.
They say there's never been gay rumors.
They say I made all of this up.
You did.
I never heard a gay rumor about Matthew Perry.
It could be all in my head.
But I think that they, on that doc, forget the gay stuff because I'm just being silly with y'all.
They didn't really get to the meat and potatoes.
Of what was going on with him, even in death.
Like, I always had a beef with, with, with the family for being mad at his best friend and assistant.
Y'all all know him.
Y'all all been close to him for however many years.
Y'all know he loved him.
So if he's the one that's ordering whatever he's ordering and administering, like the family took a real stern position against him.
And I was against that.
I thought they would at least talk to him, show him, say more about that.
They just didn't.
They didn't.
They didn't.
Too much love in this doc.
Rest in peace, Matthew Perry.
Yeah, rest in peace.
Watch it.
Please watch it.
It is good.
It's good.
It's good.
Yeah, I need, I need, nah.
He was so tortured, man.
He was tortured.
Yo, if you ever do a doc on me after I go, talk to my parents, talk to my wife, talk to whoever.
And talk to us, man.
And talk to Ish.
But also, talk to Ish.
Talk to us.
You gotta talk to somebody that I hated and hated me.
Ish.
Talk to Ish.
You do, you do, I think.
For real.
You ain't gotta give him a seat.
But you can at least talk to him.
Nah.
That's all I'm saying.
Nah, Ish.
Gotta open the doc.
Ish can be EP.
Nah, Ish.
They gotta, you know that shit they got on the internet when you sit in the chair?
Yeah, yeah.
Sit down in the chair.
They gotta have it in the chair and it's dark and then that nigga walk in and say.
You think I talk to them people?
Yes, absolutely.
I think you're gonna take a bag for it to me.
Never.
I'm cool.
Hey, Mona.
Take a little bag for it.
You think they could pay me to talk?
You're telling your experience with this nigga?
Why wouldn't you not talk about your friend?
I'm cool.
Not like skeletons, but like.
I'm saying I'm cool.
I don't mean like say something bad.
It could be good stuff.
Say something good for some money.
You wouldn't want to be in the doc at all?
Nah.
Nigga, we all in the doc, motherfucker.
Not me.
Hey, well, check this out.
I heard you.
I know you gonna be in the doc.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
I heard your answer for mine.
Yo.
Just know.
You're gonna be sitting by the doc.
Just fucking the doc.
Oh, please.
The second Danny called me.
Yo, please.
I'm there.
I'm there, buddy.
Nah, fuck that.
I'm there.
Nah.
Anyway, I know that was probably gross.
It was grossly irresponsible for me to report that way.
But I'm just telling you what I thought.
It is what I do when I'm in the house by myself with my fiance.
I try to figure out who's gay and who's not.
I believe you.
I do it.
For no reason.
Like, damn, I could have bagged him.
When his gaydar don't work, it never did.
I have some of the best gaydar out there.
Clearly you don't, Joe.
Most of the time when you.
When you suggest who's gay, you be off to me.
I'm the first nigga told y'all Jussie Smollett was a little off.
Nigga.
I knew Jussie Smollett was.
Nobody else said it.
I knew he was always out with the gays.
He was always out with the gays.
When he was on Disney, I knew.
You said he was lying.
No, not about being gay.
No, you said he was lying about the whole shit.
Well, yeah, he was lying about the whole shit.
But that don't have to do with his sexual orientation.
He was publicly gay.
Yes, it do, nigga.
You didn't put the report out that he was gay.
The world knew he was gay.
Oh, I thought I confirmed it.
People discover somebody as soft as Jussie Smollett is gay.
Y'all knew it.
Shout out to Jussie Smollett.
Yes.
And the community.
Who's in love, by the way.
That's a loving thing, Jussie.
I couldn't possibly say anything else about anybody else.
You didn't notice that the Matthew Perry girls didn't know much about him?
First of all, that's a lie.
We were together nine years.
He was a Gemini, I think.
They knew everything about him.
Yeah, right.
They studied him, and they were very accepting of him.
Like, they took their place.
When he called me.
He was all right until you just threw that last one in there.
When he called me, I'm going to be available.
It gave that vibe.
Like, this is my rich.
You mean, this is the one, you know.
You know.
So, when he called me, he called me.
I don't know.
I didn't smell nothing gay on him.
What I will say is, before we change the subject, I do feel like they're vague about the childhood.
The families are too blended for somebody not to feel bad or left out or treated wrong.
So, I will give you that on the childhood.
Because it's like, why are one of these siblings saying something bad happened as a kid?
It was kind of weird.
That's the only thing I'll give you on that.
Other than that, I'm happy it wasn't, like, gross and his history wasn't all terrible.
Something else will come out, and then tell us the rest later.
Rest in peace to Matthew Perry.
Rest in peace.
We love you.
We miss you.
And, yeah, horrible.
Horrible how that happened.
Since we're talking about death, man, did you see 548 people on death row just got their sentences commuted?
No.
Yes, I did.
That is a big deal.
That's fire.
Yeah.
Everybody in California on death row.
If you was on death row.
I keep up with things like that.
Oh, I know you do.
And when I saw it, I said, shit, that's a good thing.
Salute to Gavin Newsom.
So, everybody on death row in California is no longer on death row.
That's over.
We done with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's 25% of the country's death row inmates.
How do y'all feel about that?
I think that's fine.
Yeah, that's dope.
Where are they?
I think that's the more important question.
It's still a side, right?
They're not on death row.
Awesome.
They kept them there.
Are they holding them?
They're in jail, Joey.
They got to do life.
They didn't get a pardon.
They got commuted.
They ain't on the boulevard.
They on death row.
Oh, quite cool.
That was close.
Yeah, 25% of the country's death row.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Do y'all, y'all are death, y'all are death row enthusiasts?
Enthusiasts is doing a lot.
I used to work for death row.
What's the right word for it?
What word am I looking for?
Employee.
Oh, I'm sorry.
What did you say?
Do y'all believe in it?
Death penalty.
Do y'all, where y'all on the death penalty?
I believe in it sometimes.
Some of these motherfuckers got to go.
Yeah.
Sometimes.
Yeah.
See, for me, I feel like what I would enjoy seeing people get the death penalty for, nobody
gets that.
Like, I don't think for those big drug cases or even some of the cases where you're fighting
over the money and people, you know, people get violent with each other, not necessarily
that either, but like sex crimes and predators, I think they should be put down or castrated
at least.
I just think we should change things that make more sense.
I also, I am like in the middle because, because black people get convicted so much and they're
not guilty, it's hard for me to say, yes, I believe in that.
Because so many of us is waiting on that and we didn't do anything.
I don't feel comfortable.
I don't feel comfortable with that.
But besides that, like, you know what I watched over the Halloween holiday in Florida and
Jacksonville, the sheriff goes out and they go to, cause you know, you on lifetime parole
when you're, uh, you're on that list, right?
So part of the, part of the rules is you can't have Halloween decorations or any decorations
on your house.
You can't have anything on your home once you're on that list that could entice the
child to knock on your door.
Oh, that's a great rule.
I like that.
That's a great rule.
That's a good one.
So the sheriff, the sheriff office in Jacksonville went around to them addresses and if you had
decorations, they locked niggas up.
One of the guys, they were locking up his mom or his family member.
Why are you doing this?
Why are you arresting him?
And, um, he's like, he knows why.
And she's like, but we didn't know.
We decorate our house.
We know.
Well, he should have told y'all.
and he's the one that's supposed to know,
and now he's going to fuck the jail.
But stuff like that makes sense.
You put them on a list, you really keep up with them,
you're on their ass for real, you know what I mean?
And try to make sure that they don't re-offend.
There's nobody weaker and more sustainable
getting hurt but the kids, so how do we let them back out?
I don't get that, I never understood that.
You know the other way you could keep them from re-offending?
Castrating them?
We're getting crazy now.
What?
I mean, that's one of the moves, the chemical joint,
not like scissors, like chemically.
You take a pill, and then your thing don't work.
It's like the opposite of the pills y'all take.
Nothing works.
Yeah, like it don't work at all.
You don't work no more.
Yeah, the opposite of the pills y'all take.
You went to his trunk, god damn leader.
But he don't brag about taking them like y'all do.
Y'all who?
I never took one.
His wife ain't home enough.
He brags about them the most.
His wife ain't home enough for the low blow.
You about to suck this shit, man.
Damn this nigga, man.
I let my wife go to work.
It's crazy, but. You don't keep her in the cage?
I don't keep her in the cage.
That's the problem.
That's the problem number one.
Shit, I don't mind it.
Get in the cage.
How big is the cage?
But when your wife does go on a trip,
do y'all fuck right before?
All right, you see?
He's not talking to me.
Which way y'all want to go?
He's trying to set me in free zone.
He's not talking to us.
What's the joke?
They don't go on trips.
Them bitches ain't allowed to go nowhere, man.
Don't call my lady that way.
I'm being serious.
We just said don't call her a bitch.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I was about to double down on it.
Yeah, I got my phone.
My ain't even, my bad, King.
Bitch can't go nowhere.
But. Wow.
Okay.
Yeah, that did it.
Yo.
So. In other news. Oh, I feel so bad.
I feel so bad when I'm not educated with Mark.
No, it's all good.
You do not feel bad.
You don't care.
All right, another question.
Okay, come on.
No, we wouldn't let our wives do this.
That's where I was at.
When is it okay. I'm changing the subject completely.
Just to be clear.
When is it okay to kick somebody's back in?
Okay?
And the reason I'm asking is because. When they're not around.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
Because Doc Rivers was interviewed the other day on Steve Nash's podcast.
And he was talking about what it was like to coach Giannis Antetokounmpo, also known as
the Greek freak.
And here's what he said.
It's not easy.
Yeah.
It's not easy.
It's not easy because he plays at this crazy downhill pace.
He's really a difficult guy.
I was telling someone this.
He has this great passing ability, but he doesn't necessarily have super IQ at the same
time.
It's really a strange thing.
And he really has one way.
Downhill.
Forced.
Like every play, he wants to force it.
And. There's times he doesn't. Where I wish he'd do one thing.
I wish he'd learn how to execute better.
Yeah.
You know, he's one of those guys that you get a lot of them from the U.S.
AAU guys that have never needed to execute because they can do it on their own.
Right.
But that doesn't help the team.
And, like, I think. And I told Giannis this.
The thing he needs to still learn is the value of execution.
How important it is when you're in practice and in shoot-arounds to lock in on execution.
And now he has a coach who is as good as there is in execution.
Well, it's hard when you've been able to. Your athletic ability is so dominant.
Exactly.
And this is Bill Simmons.
I'm sorry.
Not Steve Nash.
Yeah.
Shout out to Bill.
Yeah, I don't need that.
I can do that.
And Bill looks like Steve Nash, so I'm. That's racist.
You have to learn how to execute.
We don't all look the same, Joe.
And that's my bad for saying that.
There you have it.
Doc Rivers on Bill Simmons.
Totally kicking the Greek freaks.
Back in.
Distinguished panel, how do we feel about this?
I think this is totally inappropriate.
Yeah, that's nasty.
I don't think. This is disgusting.
I don't think he kicked his back into me.
I think he just gave an X and O assessment of basketball stuff.
Yeah, she called him stupid.
When you say basketball, when you say IQ, they mean basketball IQ.
They mean like situational basketball, stuff like that.
That was understood by people watching.
That means you're stupid.
That still means. Listen, let me clarify.
That's the sport way of saying you ain't bright.
Because that's how I took it.
Because it's like, it would be one thing to challenge a nigga basketball IQ who's in and still playing.
This nigga's retired.
He's not retired.
He's not.
He still plays now?
He still plays.
Fuck it.
That's why I don't try to jump in this sports show.
I feel like this is totally inappropriate from a coach and a player's former coach.
Like, there is, again, coaching etiquette.
See, I think if he was his current coach, it would be inappropriate.
That would be horrible.
I think that.
Him being a former coach, I don't think it was inappropriate.
I don't think he said anything wrong about him.
I think that he expressed where his game could grow and the things that he might have been lacking on.
Do you believe there's a better way to say it?
Yeah, you think it's a little harsh?
Delivery was a little harsh.
Saying someone doesn't have a good basketball IQ is actually a critique.
It's a critique.
It's a critique.
Is he critiquing his game?
And he only knows one way.
Y'all have. Do we watch. Oh, no, he ain't wrong.
I don't think he's. Do we watch basketball?
I don't think his analysis is wrong.
I think the question is. I think him saying it is wrong.
Yeah.
I don't disagree with his analysis.
So let me ask all of y'all. It shouldn't be said, and it shouldn't be said by him.
Okay, can I ask y'all this, though?
Since y'all watch, you know the nigga.
The things that he's saying about this nigga game, are they true?
Yes.
Oh, wow.
I think they're generally true.
So then again, it's just going to be delivery.
In my opinion, just on a professional level, we've worked together.
Why you got to talk about me so harshly if we've worked together in the past?
It's the thing about it like this, because I've been working through this.
Also, there's another issue.
There's two issues.
First issue also is that Doc Rivers has a reputation.
And so, throwing his teammates. I mean, excuse me, his players under the bus.
The Clippers.
I have a quick question.
Yeah.
Does Doc Rivers want to coach again?
I don't think so.
Well, then get your shit off.
I think he realizes that it's kind of that ride.
I think Milwaukee was the last stop.
Yeah, I think so, too.
Yeah, just basically.
Because if he wants to go into, like, pundency or speaking, talking head on TV show,
then we want this kind of honesty.
He just bought himself a ticket.
There you go.
Yeah, that's true, Bart.
Nah.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I think being honest about players is fine.
Just being honest about the superstar you just coached.
Being honest about players can make you look away.
It was his player.
I'm with Mark.
Being honest about players. That was his player.
That's what makes sense.
Being honest about your players, nah.
I think that goes against, like, some type of unwritten, unsaid coach.
Like they said, what if you're not trying to coach no more?
There's still a respect that has to come with how you talk about players that you coach.
Do you feel the same way?
I didn't like it when Phil Jackson wrote.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you feel the same way when a player does that about a coach that they used to play for?
Yes.
All right.
I just wanted to make sure it was a two-way street.
I think it has to be a two-way street.
I think there's ways to do it.
If he says Giannis is so great, I just wish he would slow down and execute more.
I don't think anybody's mad.
Right.
I think saying Giannis is a great player, he only knows one way, it's all downhill,
low basketball IQ, that becomes, to me, a cross line.
And Doc is just. But again. And part of it is the context.
Again, like, J.J. Reddick got on Doc for this.
When Doc would lose a series, a lot of players say he blames the players.
So he has a reputation of scapegoating players.
And Milwaukee was his worst stop on a streak that was going downhill, going from Philly.
And a lot of people, again, with Ben Simmons.
Do you think Ben Simmons is a starting point guard?
I don't know yet.
Now, again, this ain't about being right.
It's about the moment you get put out the playoffs, a lot of people say you throwing Ben under the bus.
You ain't see the article that just came out about Ben?
Ben Simmons and Doc Rivers last week?
Mm-hmm.
And they said, yo, now I see what Doc was doing.
Doc did everything right.
And Doc was protecting him for the most part.
But did you hear what Ben said?
Ben said, I thought it was nasty.
I thought he's a real piece of shit.
He did.
He said all these things about. Some tell you how players feel.
No, no, but. Some just say it hurts your perception.
I'm not disagreeing, but in that same. And I'm not defending the. Well, I am kind of, but. Later on, they had the nigga Ben Simmons.
And Sam Cassell and them said, yo, he missed all the free throws.
They went to get him.
And that night, to work on free throws with Sam Cassell.
Mm-hmm.
He said, yo, I don't feel like it.
So the next morning, they showed up to be like, yo, dog, let's go work on free throws.
And he said, yo, I ain't in the mood.
Some shit like that.
And so they like, yo, fam, you not devoted to the team.
You not devoted to excellence.
We in the championship, my nigga.
You just missed a bunch of free throws.
Come work on your game.
And he like, nah.
So now that discredits. Your heart ain't in it.
Yeah, so now that kind of discredits some of the shit.
And they were saying that Doc. Again, it's Apple Orange's, but they're saying that Doc kind of was critiquing him accordingly.
And gave him grace.
But see, all that proves that Doc's analysis is right.
I'm not disputing his analysis.
I'm disputing whether it's appropriate or not.
Think about this.
Think about this.
Think about. I'm not going to ask you to say what it is.
But think about the worst critique someone could make of you as a podcaster.
Or me, or anybody.
But just think about yourself.
And imagine if Joe went on another podcast, even after you leave.
Even after you quit.
Joe has critiqued our performance publicly before.
Answer what he's saying.
And whatever you think I've said publicly, I have not said what I think the worst of each member up here. But that's not. But I need you to just answer his question.
I'm not.
I want you to answer his question.
Yeah, I'm saying. That he's asking you.
I did.
Go ahead.
You did.
I don't think you did.
He didn't go on a different podcast and say it, but he said it.
Publicly.
But just hear me what I'm saying.
Spaces.
Spaces.
He said it on a. What's that shit we used to do?
Rewind.
Rewind.
Can you answer his question he's asking you?
So think about that worst thing.
Assume that. I'll even take a step back.
Let's assume we don't work here anymore.
Would it be okay for Joe to say, Mark is able. It was always late.
Mark would be such a great podcaster if he just
focus more on this, this, this, and this
instead of this, this, this, and this. He doesn't
really have a feel for podcasting
quite the way he should. He's not quite good.
Like, if he said those things after I
stopped working up here, and he did it on
somebody else's show in particular,
would that be okay?
No, I think it would be. You'd be the first person to be bitching about it.
No, I wouldn't do it. Can I answer? You would hate it, sorry,
but you would. I think if he gave
positive points and then gave
negative points, I think if he just went for your
juggler, then no, that's some sucker shit.
But I think if he gave certain points and then he gave
other points of areas where Ish could
have improved or Ish could improve,
I don't look at that the same way. Ish, you would
be hot as fuck if this nigga went somewhere
and did some shit like that. And even if it wasn't to you,
you would be hot if it was one of us.
Yeah, that's true. You would be heated.
What if he did it to you? If he did it to one of us,
you would be heated because you protect them like that.
You would be pissed. And you might not.
And I love that about you. That's part of the reason
why I love you so much. To take it
off of Ish and
Mark, I believe that if
you are privileged enough
to get a behind-the-scenes
lens on somebody,
like, if you're privy to
things that the public is
not privy to, then there is some
type of metaphorical NDA
that needs to be
abided by. If you're a real nigga,
if you're a real nigga, period.
Some principled shit.
Everybody ain't got that. But again,
I don't think that this is my part.
I don't think he kicked his back in. Y'all
looking at it like he trashed him. I don't look at it like
he did. And even
the justification of what you gave, he said, yo, a lot
of these people in AAU, they're so good
that they really don't learn how to play
team basketball. It helps them,
but it don't help the team. I think even that
is a slight. No, it's not. That's a knock on a lot
of people that are athletically gifted,
and that was one of Kobe's knocks.
And Kobe is probably my favorite
basketball player of all time. Part of Kobe's
knocks was, yo, the team concept
when he thought he could do it himself, he
wouldn't rely on teammates. Can I ask a question?
Like I said, I'm okay with that kind
of criticism. Like I said,
saying he's so good that he does this, but I wish
he could just learn to do that, I'm okay with.
The low basketball IQ, to me, that's
the main thing. You're talking about not only a world
champion, but an MVP.
Respectfully, I'm not to
be compared to whatever you notice
in AAU basketball. Yeah, that's crazy.
It is a slight. It is a slight.
Can I ask y'all a question? If it
was so that this guy
done, right, his goal was to be a
talking head and get one of these shows. Doc, doc,
Doc Rivers. I'm sorry, Doc Rivers.
If that was the goal,
would that take away from his chances of
getting it because people look at that in poor taste
because he did that to somebody who used to coach?
I think from the
person looking that doesn't know,
it looks like that would help because
this commentator's going viral.
Do people think that he's going to continually go viral?
Right? Or is it like, ew?
Not even about the virality part, it'd just be like,
oh, he really give it up.
He don't really tell the truth.
So I'm asking, yes or which one, y'all? I say yes.
I say it helps.
I think it might help. Remember, he's a proven
commodity is the point, right? He's somebody who's been. English.
He's somebody. Doc Rivers played in the NBA
for a very long time, won an NBA
championship with the Celtics as a coach, and had
one of the, you know, had a very stellar record
up until the point that he got to the Clippers, right?
And he's been a GM before.
He has a son who was the best
high school player in the country, was All-American
at Duke. My point is,
his basketball resume as an evaluator
of talent is proven. And he's been
a broadcaster, the biggest knocker.
Against him as a broadcaster is his actual voice.
So there's no. He doesn't have to do this to get on
is what I'm saying. And to take it a step
further, people's disdain
for the way Doc speaks
about players and has spoken about players
is why they speak about Austin
Rivers a certain type of way. That's a fact.
Yeah, that's true. That's a fact. I feel like if anybody
should understand this kind of
unwritten rule that I'm talking about, it
is Doc because he had
a son that played in the league that a bunch
of players had rumors
and whispers about. It just comes
off bad. This isn't bad
taste. But take it off right or wrong
because think what you want. This isn't
really, really, really bad taste.
But good for him.
And I love Doc. I genuinely love Doc
and think he's great. I just think that this is a thing.
It ain't the
first time we've seen it. That's why.
Like you said, this is a thing.
Yo, before we get out of here, because I know we don't have
too many topics, y'all will let me know about this
Michael Jackson impersonator beef.
He's mad at the other impersonator. Can I
get a list of people now that the Dems
have the House and the Senate, a list of people
who are going to have a real hard time in the next few
years?
A list of people who laid their
fucking sword in the sand one way.
Oh. All of them.
I don't really know them by name.
Yeah, I don't know them by name like that.
I mean, Nikki's the obvious one.
I wasn't going to say it, but yeah. Oh yeah, because she
actually went into the
polls on election day and was
campaigning in New Hampshire with Trump.
In New Hampshire? She looks a mess.
She looks like a shit show. Y'all think this would affect her? I think people
are going to forget as fast as they
remember. They could. That's fine. That's the thing.
If she were dark-skinned, it would affect her.
This motherfucker.
73-44.
Please, nigga.
That was good.
Don't entice them.
I heard you're good.
I've made the statement
here. People love
the addition of the
Philadelphia takeover, the best thing that's happened to this
place ever. People love
the green-eyed goblin. I mean, people
live for Oxtel, Oxtel's
debate between these two. But ultimately,
if this nigga come in in his
drawers, tighty-whities, alone
and sit there, yoga stance,
they going to watch it. When you build a
certain type of following, and Nikki has
that. If anything,
they're waiting so they don't have to
discuss this shit anymore. So the moment
it's over, it's over. I think she's going to be
fine. I don't think it affects her. She can feed
her people and be cool. I feel like she's been moving like
that for a while anyway. I think
that
who she aligned herself with,
one of their enemies
is her people.
All of her enemies is her people. So I think
that could present a problem. Now, where
I think she'll be okay is
in hip-hop.
Short memory span. Short memory.
Come out with a hit. Yeah.
Some slaps, they forget all this shit.
One of the best rappers ever, though. She ain't just a
slouch. No, no, no. I'm talking about
if she come out with some slaps,
none of this shit matters no more.
Yes. One of the best ever. That's just how it
goes in hip-hop. Hip-hop not going to hold
you to the fire unless
once the slaps stop. Yeah. And honestly,
even in reception, I thought she was going to get from
some of her fan base. I thought they would be
really hurt. Like the gays. I thought the gays were going to be crushed.
Especially the kids. We refer to them as the kids.
The young gays. The young trans. They didn't respond
that way. They didn't seem that hurt about it.
They rocking with their mom. There was something
that. I didn't see it. Of course
I've seen it, but I didn't see how I thought it would
be. That's what I thought the big thing would be. Do we have any
other names, you guys? I know Nikki was the
obvious one. Is there any other
names of people that have kind of
drawn a line in the sand and now it's going to look
a different way? I'm not saying names to make sure.
There's some people that drew a line in the sand.
Like,
I don't think Mike Tyson will have a hard time.
No. Like, there's some people that I think
that are just. I've already pretended that he didn't.
I think there's a lot of people that took the bag aside
because they were friends with Trump in
fucking 1987. And it's personal. Yeah.
And I don't think they're going to have a hard time. And I don't think they're going to have
a hard time at all. But those who will
Tyson don't take the MAGA side to me.
He takes the Trump side.
And he's been a Trumper since the
80s, so I don't really group him in with
MAGA. He don't
really kick no MAGA. He says, Trump is my man.
I'm not leaving him. He's telling me, damn, fuck you, niggas.
Because Trump was a friend
to him when he was losing friends.
Did you watch that doc?
You ain't no documenter.
The Mike Tyson doc?
I tried to bring it up, but then he started talking about his
****. That documenter.
Oh, yeah.
I had a lot to say about that
Mike Tyson, though.
But once they brought up that he was a ****,
it was nothing.
So we can't even enjoy a **** documentary.
Nah, nah, this one was. It was a great documentary.
We had a progressive first year.
Okay, well, **** it.
Why?
You know what? I can't be the ****.
I can't get a word in here.
It can't be me.
It was a really good documentary.
The things that happened, happened.
Okay?
If y'all want to hear what I have to think
about anything, meet me in the back of a
Target or at a Spades game.
Because I can't say ****.
Yo, Mona got the perfect takes
for a Spades game.
Oh, my God. One in jail? One in prison?
Oh.
Wait, wait. Speaking of jail
and prison.
Nothing good gonna come from this.
Can you show your co-host
the back of your phone?
Why the **** you laughing at life?
And if you don't show them,
I took a picture of it.
Exhibit A?
The other phone.
What's wrong with that?
No, the other phone.
Oh, you do have two phones.
Show the other phone.
The other what?
Other phone.
My house phone?
Telephone on.
Come on, show us.
Why ain't nothing bitching my blood?
Get off, nigga.
Here it is. Exhibit A.
Under **** paid.
I can't even afford the goddamn duo.
Oh, my God.
Put my phone in front of me right here.
I'm down bad.
You made your own duo?
What? Yup.
I had to bust this bitch down myself.
The Apple going.
Show them the front.
The screen look like the phone.
I thought that was a sticker or something.
I thought, yo, that's the phone?
Yes, that's the phone.
Oh, I thought she had a sticker on that shit.
Wait, that wasn't a sticker? Let me see.
No, this is. Oh, my God.
You took a bite out of that shit?
What happened?
All day you let me down.
And I keep turning.
I'm sorry.
God damn, last time I seen you was holier than thou.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
See what bundles do to a bad bitch
go right to her fucking head.
You did help me down, too.
My phone a little raggedy, man.
I've been through some shit, man.
But you got two.
It was a rough week, man.
I'm sorry you went through that.
All right?
I ain't never get that many calls.
And you know what?
Let's get into our week.
Let's get into more important.
So I drop a baby thirst trap on the ground, right?
I say, look, I'm going to give him some ass cheek
because you've been doing it ever since you left.
That's a lie.
That's a lie.
I get calls about you.
I told you.
First of all, excuse me.
Anybody that knows me know that ever since this shit came out,
social media, I've been shaking this big ass,
whether it was square or round, OK?
I've been shaking this motherfucker in the camera.
Now, was this my first real opportunity
to dress like a whore with some kind of bunny, rabbit,
kitten ear?
Yes, that's how I felt, Parks.
So I found some type of possum rat gerbil costume.
It had like a ball for the ass, and it had ears.
And fishnets.
Oh, my God.
How did you see the pic?
You posted it 600 times.
It's everywhere.
How can we not see it?
What do you think?
Yo, niggas is hitting me up like, ish, I ain't going to lie.
Was it scary?
I'm going to fight you for Mona.
Yo, I told her.
You always have the right answers, and that's why you're like my fave.
At the end of the day, can I be honest about how I felt to walk outside like that?
Liberated.
Horrible.
I don't know how big.
You know what's the worst part of it?
Because I can be honest with y'all, seriously.
It was the worst thing I've ever done in my life.
First of all, it's super cold.
Coochie freezing.
Hit you, hit you, hit you.
Couldn't figure out where it's coming from.
It's the pussy.
And when I get to the spot, right?
Your pussy.
The way you do that.
I love your dick.
You know when you talk about your pussy, you got to itch a second to get better.
Itch, huh?
Come on, bitch.
Itch, I know.
Listen, guys.
What I'm saying to y'all is.
It's mac and cheesy.
The way that.
When you say it like that, it just sounds.
The way that men respond to you when you're dressed that way.
And you got to think.
It's already a bunch of bitches dressed that way, too.
So it's like.
Why is he looking at me like he ready to just come sample this thing?
Like he ain't even going to say hello.
Like people look like they just going to walk up and take it.
But my worst issue by far, Parks.
You know what it was?
What's that?
Putting my ass cheeks down on like benches and shit.
Benches?
Or the section couch.
Oh, okay.
Like the feeling of like pussy ass out and putting your skin.
That's what I thought you meant.
Like you was waiting for the bus.
Because it feels foreign to me because I don't wear stuff like that, Parks.
I don't dress like that.
I don't even really do like bikinis on the beach or babies.
I don't do that.
Oh, shit.
I'm like a fat drug dealer.
I wear a t-shirt to the beach.
It's been a while since you had your procedure done.
Did it start to move yet?
That thing always moving.
Hello.
Threw it to the rim.
Threw it to the rim.
Recoil mommy.
That thing jumped.
I'm telling you.
I ran.
That thing did something.
And look.
And that's the people like.
This one bitch wrote me a paragraph.
Mona, I love you so much.
I've been following you.
I've been following you since high school.
And I just want to say I've always hated when you did stuff like this for attention.
I said, so?
Little bitch.
All caps.
So?
Exclamation.
Exclamation.
How else am I going to get them?
You hear that, little comedian buddy?
Phone's still jumping.
You hear that?
Got it.
Yo, these niggas.
These niggas.
Shit done changed.
They're getting calls too.
You're getting calls and texts.
It's just a bit.
It's just bullshit.
No, it ain't no bit.
But it's.
I'm not playing.
I'm telling you so.
How you been texted after shit like that?
Funny as fuck, boy.
If I open that shit, you'll be in tears.
It should be in tears.
I would buy.
Because they on you.
Just because how they start that conversation up.
I haven't talked to you for two years, but you got a little, like a little bunny bush
out the crack of your ass, and I want to say hello.
Because I had a little tell.
I wasn't running from nothing.
I'm so scared.
I clicked through so fast that I didn't.
You don't want to see your sister like that.
Even though y'all clicked through it fast.
That don't look all right.
I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
I wouldn't know.
Stop your foot if it looked all right.
Ain't nobody gonna hear it.
I didn't see it.
I don't see my sister that way.
Fuck y'all.
Shit looking like some good cornbread mix.
I don't know.
I bet you won't let me get it.
Some good cornbread mix.
My shit, I'm near.
Some jiffy shit.
Dits and all that.
The dits, everything working out, man.
Do you guys care that Justin Timberlake is supposed to be releasing a doc where he addresses
all of the Janet Jackson and Britney Spears turmoil?
Yeah.
I'm going to watch that motherfucker.
I hate you.
No.
I'm going to watch it.
To doc.
Right.
But I hate that he's going to make money off shitting on so many people.
Why?
Because I hate when people make money off shitting on people.
Well, we don't know that he's going to shit on anybody yet.
No, no.
What I'm saying is I know he shitted on them in the past.
His explanation of it is what's going to make him the money.
You don't think he has a right to tell his side of the story?
He does.
This isn't about his rights.
I'm not protesting it.
I'm just saying I hate when people do fucked up things and they're not able to make money
off of it.
That's what I was about to ask you.
Is it because you think that he was wrong back then?
It's just because I think he was wrong.
I'm just curious to hear his side is all I'm saying.
Me too.
Well, that's my other question.
I saw something, whether it was real or AI, who knows.
But if it comes out that Janet Jackson planned that with him, I don't know if he plans on
saying that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If that comes out, do you think that helps him at all?
Yeah.
I don't think so.
I feel differently about it.
Everything I've heard is to just the opposite.
Same, same.
But if it turns out that that's the
truth, yeah, I always want to know the truth.
I was about to say, if she corroborate that, because if he just say it, I'm not going off
that.
And she's not going to corroborate it because she said the opposite.
Oh, he got that?
I mean.
But the issue wasn't that, whether they coordinated that partly, if I remember correctly, it's
that he left her holding the bag completely.
He acted like he did not know that that was the plan, yes.
Yeah, that's my point.
So even if they did it together, that doesn't, because I'm not convinced that Janet didn't
know.
Yeah, they knew.
They both knew.
My question, third question, follow up to that question, what if they both knew it was
planned?
He said, okay, but if something bad happens from this.
Come on, young.
Come on, young.
He ain't say it.
He ain't say it.
I'm just hypothetical.
If that's the case, yeah, that would matter to me.
I would still think it's fucked up, but I'd feel a lot differently than I have in the
past, which was that, because my theory was, they decided to do some shit, they decided
to be edgy, and he threw under the bus once it didn't go.
Because neither one of them expected it to go so bad, because they really treated it.
They didn't expect the backlash.
Yeah, they didn't expect the backlash, because at that point, we were already doing wild
shit.
What was the word of Versace dress?
It was a lot of shit going on at those award shows that were kind of risque back then.
Nobody expected that, but it was because of the race thing.
It wasn't just because it was a titty house, because it was a white boy and an older black
woman with that little titty house.
Titty just as little.
It wasn't a little titty.
It was perfect.
It was my full of titty.
Respectfully.
It was perfect, but my full of titty.
No, that was a real nice titty, especially in whatever year that was.
Yeah.
That was a really good titty.
2004, was it?
That was a nice titty.
A piercing to a clean one.
The only time y'all want you.
Everyone, all these niggas that agree up here, bring up a titty.
We turn to scientists, too, you know, just the diameter.
Bunch of dweebs.
That might be the first thing we all agreed on today.
Titties.
Titties will do it, though.
They do it, yeah.
They unite everybody.
Well, I disagree.
Titties unify.
Yeah, yeah.
It's true.
They do.
Sorry, Mola.
I don't even like titties, man.
I like them enough for the both of us.
Don't worry about it.
Anytime I move that mic to your mouth.
I like balls.
That's what I like.
That's what I like.
I like balls, man.
That's why I can never be with a strap because I need balls attached to me.
I think that's a pretty small segment of the population that prefers balls over titties.
Cat, you will be shocked.
I feel like titties are pretty universal.
Yeah, I think that's right.
Women love titties.
Women love titties.
How long are they?
A lot of women hate balls.
How long are the titties?
Yeah.
All titties matter.
I'm telling you, this nigga really, he's him, bro.
This nigga's special, man.
Parks is special, man.
No, all titties matter.
I'm just lying.
Listen, man.
What?
What?
I know that ass is hitting now, but go ahead and run out there to L.A.
Hold on.
I got somebody for you.
Get them titties right.
I know.
They keep telling me not to wait.
You ain't got no way to go get them titties done.
I need to go somewhere because fuck that.
Your little comedian friend will still be in there when you get out the recovery house.
Can you believe the fact that you always shoot so low for me?
What?
Homeboy?
Yes.
Oh, shit.

Why do you have to go that low for me?
You don't ever pick nobody up or echelon for me.

Yeah, he got a couple dollars.

Yo, hopefully y'all have enjoyed this broadcast as much as we've enjoyed delivering it to
you.
Indeed.
That's right, man.
For now, peace, farewell, adios, arrivederci, hasta la vista.
Au revoir.
So long, goodbye, or a simple head nod will suffice.
Remember, life is a series of moments, and moments pass, so let's make this one last as
if it's all we have.
Last but certainly not least, the baddies are insecure, the stagnant women want to travel,
and the closed-minded women want you to teach them things.
Grab you, Advil.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
The podcast discusses the recent Democratic victories in the midterm elections, including decisive wins in the Senate and House, driven by youth and progressive candidates.
Mark Lamar Hill highlights how political shifts are being fueled by grassroots organizing, with races decided by narrow margins like 40 to 60 votes.
A key concern raised is the lack of support for progressive candidates by establishment Democrats like Chuck Schumer, who prioritize financial and political interests over inclusivity.
The hosts critique conservative political figures, such as James Carville, for opposing progressive coalitions and prioritizing stability over democratic transformation.
The conversation emphasizes that the real political battleground is not abstract ideology, but everyday issues like gas prices, healthcare, and affordability.
A major theme is the rise of young, diverse voters who are unswayed by misinformation and demand tangible change.
The podcast critiques the influence of wealth and special interests, citing examples of Trump-linked investments and tax-funded ventures benefiting family firms.
The hosts stress that political change requires sustained pressure, public engagement, and active citizen involvement—not just one election cycle.
Summary:
The podcast reflects on the significant Democratic gains in the midterm elections, highlighting historic wins across the Senate and House, especially in states like Mississippi and Alaska. These victories are attributed to grassroots organizing, youth engagement, and the rise of progressive, diverse candidates—like Daria Lisa and Chris Rabb—who represent a new wave of political activism. Hosts Joe Budden and Mark Lamar Hill emphasize that these shifts are not just symbolic but grounded in real voter demand, particularly around affordability, healthcare, and economic fairness.
A central critique focuses on the Democratic establishment’s reluctance to back progressive voices, such as Angie Nixon, due to ideological or financial interests.

The discussion underscores that political change isn’t driven by ideology alone but by daily realities—gas prices, healthcare access, and economic stability.
The podcast concludes with a call to action: voters must remain engaged, organize, and apply consistent pressure on elected officials to ensure their policies reflect the needs of everyday people, not elite interests. The conversation ends with a nod to the cultural impact of shows like *Scandal*, symbolizing how storytelling reflects political dynamics. The tone remains critical, hopeful, and grounded in real-world consequences.
