Whether you're a football fan, a basketball fan, or a fa…
—[100:05.780 --> 100:14.120] You wanna pray for all parties affected by this. The news this morning had a chopper in the eye of the storm. Like they were watching
—[100:14.280 --> 100:22.340] it. So This is the eye of the storm, we're following the thing, it's horrible and it looked absolutely nuts. Absolutely nuts. And the island
—[100:22.340 --> 100:30.940] may not be the same ever again. Just I wanna add this 1 piece because we saw this with Haiti before and Haiti's being affected now too. Once these countries and islands are
—[100:31.100 --> 100:39.520] devastated like this, a lot of times that becomes the excuse or the pretext for outside people to come in and take over. Just like we saw the earthquake in Haiti
—[100:39.540 --> 100:47.940] when suddenly the Clintons and everybody... Puerto Rico too. Puerto Rico same thing. Great point. And so We have to not just keep an eye out on the destruction that
—[100:47.940 --> 100:55.960] the hurricane has caused, but the quote unquote rebuild may forever underdevelop and drain the country of its sovereignty
—[100:56.140 --> 101:04.360] and its internal resources. So just, we wanna send love and prayers out to everybody on all the levels. Yeah, and I just wanna make it clear that when, you know, because my
—[101:04.360 --> 101:12.540] father, you know, he sends me stuff that he hears about on the podcast. So when I was laughing, I wasn't laughing at anybody that's affected in Jamaica or the Caribbean by
—[101:12.540 --> 101:20.580] the hurricane, just to make it clear. Because he called me about... You already went and get in them Jamaican concerts. No, yeah, well, that 1 time,
—[101:20.580 --> 101:28.780] but they end up fixing it. They end up fixing it and making it right. You got it in the next 1? Of course I did. But it's not about that. Listen. Close circuit. You know, my prayers
—[101:28.780 --> 101:36.780] out to everyone over there and stuff like that. I'm texting my father now, actually trying to get contact with him. Let us know how, you know, if we can support him, seriously. Did you phone him? Mm-hmm. I think
—[101:36.780 --> 101:44.840] I can't help himself. I think I can't help myself. You talk about my pops,
—[101:44.840 --> 101:53.220] nigga. I didn't say nothing about your dad. I talked about my father. I didn't say nothing about your dad. That's up with my father. I didn't say nothing about your dad. And I would never, don't do it. I love you more than that. My father just texted me right now. He said, based on the movement,
—[101:53.620 --> 102:01.860] it should leave the island around 5 p.m. Let's hope for the best. Then he says, oh that's good. Then he says, my power just went out. Right now I still
—[102:01.860 --> 102:10.000] have the cellular service though. You better go. 5 ain't bad, that's good. Yeah, but the problem is-
—[102:10.000 --> 102:18.900] They were saying that shit was gonna stay there longer because you know the shit that turn and do all of that. Again, praying for everyone affected by this really, really, really
—[102:18.900 --> 102:27.340] catastrophic event that's going on out there. I'll play some outstanding. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Why not? It's come to boom.
—[102:27.340 --> 102:35.460] Play some outstanding. Why did, how did they come up with the name of the hurricane? Cause then They go in alphabetical order. They go in alphabetical order. Oh, to the female. Got
—[102:35.460 --> 102:46.700] you. Yeah. And this is actually the first, to my knowledge, first hurricane I've listened to. Alright,
—[102:46.700 --> 102:55.680] anywhere y'all want to go, I'm down. Pause. Oh, you was asking the music. I was going to say, there are a couple little things that I've peeped over the weekend that dropped. Lil
—[102:55.680 --> 103:03.920] Baby, it seems like if he stays on this, I'm willing to say he's back. He has a record out with G Herbo. It's
—[103:03.920 --> 103:12.120] his new single. Try to sit over the parks real quick, play a little bit, but it's still it's old. It's
—[103:12.120 --> 103:20.580] like he found his old groove like his old I don't say groove, but his old sounds it. Yo, yeah, I know. I know. I know. I know. I
—[103:20.580 --> 103:28.620] know. I messed up. What's the name of the record? Let me pull it back up again. Oh yeah, talk ahead. Anyway, how you
—[103:28.620 --> 103:36.700] doing this shit? Did you match, did you, honestly. All on me. Talk to me like, did you try to match the light blue and your new balance
—[103:36.740 --> 103:44.920] with the light blue in your new balance sweatsuit? I Was just wearing some clothes. That's the fit they sent about the same. This is why I don't fuck with it
—[103:44.920 --> 103:53.080] It's the deal we just wear some clothes and it all just happen to be light blue. And you just happen to find some New Balance socks to match. That's how you know you old nigga.
—[103:54.000 --> 104:02.300] You see the NB right there? Them niggas ain't seen no fuckin' N or B. They sittin' there lyin'. So they lyin' on me? You listenin' to them. Yo stop! You
—[104:02.300 --> 104:10.380] got a B on there. You better not have no new balance socks on. I know that. Take that shoe off. There better not be no new balance socks on, y'all, I know that. Why? Because I'm
—[104:10.380 --> 104:18.400] going to judge you. Judge me then, nigga. More than I do. All right, you wear Marathon socks. It sounds great. It sounds great. It sounds great. It sounds great. And
—[104:18.400 --> 104:26.480] even Jerboa in the future. Yeah, I wasn't, I know I haven't been a fan of his because I think he don't really
—[104:26.480 --> 104:34.540] ride the beat properly, pause. He kept up on this 1. So it's a really dope song. But that's all we ask is that the plea be
—[104:34.540 --> 104:42.760] as loud as the hate. Ain't no plea. There's no plea. I'm sorry. There's no plea. Well, when you- I'm sorry. When somebody
—[104:42.760 --> 104:50.780] says, hey, y'all know me, I've been the main 1 shitting on this nigga for years. But I gotta give it up, but it's like that
—[104:50.780 --> 104:59.060] to me, I take it as a plea. I'm sorry. No, no, no, when you don't do the thing that I've shitted on you for. Then you get props. Then I give props. Instead of the hate that I've done for years. But if you do the thing, because I'm
—[104:59.060 --> 105:07.220] not a hater. See, I'm not a hater. If you do something dope, I'm gonna praise that. And if you do something not dope, I'm gonna criticize that. I treat you equally and fairly.
—[105:07.220 --> 105:15.420] I'm objective. Yeah, but a lot of episodes. No, ain't a lot of episodes, nothing. But hey, long as the plea is as loud as this. There's
—[105:15.420 --> 105:23.800] no plea being copped. I'm cool. Hey, little baby, G. Ervo. The record. Salute, man. The record. Do y'all want to give you a chance to cop
—[105:23.800 --> 105:31.860] a plea or hold yourself accountable for a tape? That's why Marcus, Marcus is 1 of the greatest. You know what? 1 of them part of the month awards
—[105:31.860 --> 105:39.960] you deserve. At least 1. 1 of them you deserve. 1 Steve Nash. Let's do it. You know, there was some footage that was unearthed of
—[105:39.960 --> 105:48.060] you and Antoine. I was sleepwalking, yo. Come on, man. Having a debate over music. You know, I don't even want to set the stage for it don't
—[105:48.060 --> 106:00.540] play it I'm just gonna play it his
—[106:00.540 --> 106:08.680] ball dropped it either Female R&B artist first draft pick Now this first
—[106:08.680 --> 106:16.800] draft pick kishko final answer shout to Jill We're talking about female R&B. Who's
—[106:16.800 --> 106:38.000] your final final answer? I'm
—[106:38.000 --> 106:46.280] cracking this nigga muffin for 2 years Oh You know, I
—[106:46.280 --> 106:54.600] didn't know a fucking thing when they spent all that fucking money and you okay, but say today that every place will record I know shit What are you doing? She had hits before fucking
—[106:54.600 --> 107:02.800] drunk when that record girl got 766 or 7 things Ever you trying to tell me that
—[107:03.080 --> 107:15.860] fucking to the left to the left didn't save that shit's life You're
—[107:15.860 --> 107:24.140] wrong. You say what you want. That bitch has a following of niggas. She does have a following. She does. But I'm using girl, I'm gonna get you. Did we get the point?
—[107:24.140 --> 107:32.160] I think we got the point. So just to set the table for the audience in case you didn't get the full context. They were arguing about if they were starting
—[107:32.160 --> 107:40.260] a label, who would be a more, who they would start with. As they start in point guard, as the female artists of the label. Both amazing artists,
—[107:40.260 --> 107:48.620] we love them both. Y'all know how much we love Kishacola up here. Y'all know how much we love Rihanna up here. So it's not that, but it was interesting to hear Ish make the case that he was still with Rihanna because
—[107:49.160 --> 107:57.580] effectively she'd be a bigger star? No I just said that. And have a bigger audience? Yeah I said basically she could transcend more audiences in my opinion then. Yeah.
—[107:57.600 --> 108:06.020] Joe you had a different take. Do you still hold that take? No and we've discussed it multiple times since the 2009
—[108:06.720 --> 108:15.220] I wasn't here. I know you just started working here fucking 4 months ago But we've this clip has been unearthed and unpacked millions
—[108:15.240 --> 108:24.400] of times I don't apologize for I'm saying it's 2009. I'm gonna always air on the side of Like
—[108:24.480 --> 108:32.610] who can pick up a microphone and do it? Clearly I was wrong, time has shown that. But I'm not mad at that, I'm not mad at that. The community put it up this week
—[108:32.610 --> 108:40.800] and I thought it fascinating. I didn't, I didn't. I mean, the more beautiful part about all that is not Isha's opinion or mine, is the fact that somebody
—[108:40.800 --> 108:48.900] found a way to fucking actually get paid off these stupid conversations. That's interesting. Like me and my good brother have been doing this since fucking the beginning
—[108:48.900 --> 108:57.180] of time You
—[108:57.180 --> 109:05.280] think I think you keep showing up Tuesdays and Fridays cuz you so friendly, huh? Yes, you're
—[109:05.280 --> 109:13.460] not Shout out to Keisha Cole, shout out to Rihanna, shout out to Beyonce, shout out to every artist mentioned. Shout out to Carolyn Charlene. For your name
—[109:13.460 --> 109:21.500] to still mean what it means all these years later to testament to your longevity and your iconicness. So please, if I said
—[109:21.500 --> 109:29.840] something stupid back then, my bad. But Rihanna- When you think about your debates- I don't think it's the dumbest thing to do. I don't think it was that stupid. There's a lot of asterisks that don't count. But Rihanna became Rihanna.
—[109:29.840 --> 109:37.860] That people forgot about that. They have us here today too. What did you say, Al Mar? When you all think about your debates over the last years, when you look back at all the things you and Ish argued about, has he gotten the
—[109:37.860 --> 109:45.900] better of you when you look back in retrospect? At some point, I'm sure, yeah. Anything have to do with math. Anything where math was involved, then he probably
—[109:45.900 --> 109:54.500] won because he adds faster than me but anything where it was just a matter of right versus wrong You know It's
—[109:54.500 --> 110:03.300] what you say and I kissed this bitch While she was texting you nigga Say
—[110:03.300 --> 110:11.320] something How can he have 1 any debate if the chick he kept texting, I kissed? And I had a girl, I left you, I dubbed

—[110:56.760 --> 111:07.080] so mature. What else needs our attention? What else needs our attention? Doesn't need our attention. We got a big story. Yeah, we got a, oh, sorry, please. Oh, Listen,
—[111:07.560 --> 111:15.780] I'm 1 of the first to say that we should be done with these folded remixes. Like we got the folded Kehlani pack. Damn.

—[111:48.340 --> 111:56.340] in charge of creating the algorithms It's a shame that they're pushing this toxicity to our young. No 1 wants to see this I don't want to see I don't get any of that to my eyes that

—[115:22.380 --> 115:30.550] so I ain't gonna get into 1 of my favorite topics, y'all's Eskimo brothers. But I think blood's gotta be Eskimo brothers, or somebody ain't here. Yeah, nigga, you've been rapping for
—[115:30.550 --> 115:38.700] 20 years. I wouldn't be fooled if it's me. I know. If it's me, it's probably you. Know what I mean? If it's me, it's probably

—[115:55.120 --> 116:03.300] All right, come on. Let's move on. So we got an interesting story coming out of Texas. Uh-huh. Yes. This 1 really saddens me. A correctional officer,
—[116:03.840 --> 116:11.980] Amos Nyanwe, has recently been booked on misdemeanor charges of contraband. He smuggled contraband into
—[116:13.180 --> 116:21.300] a prison. Niggas do that. Yeah, this particular contraband was chicken wings, huh? Chicken wings. Yes.
—[116:21.300 --> 116:29.340] He was smuggling Wingstop into the prison. He boofed the chicken. That's what that's where my I Don't think the correction officer has to booth. Let it go.
—[116:29.340 --> 116:37.380] Let it go double entendre I think you I think you can just walk in with a bag. They're not only you like that. Oh What flavors? Mango habanero is 1
—[116:37.380 --> 116:47.600] of the flavors Definitely don't want to booth mango habanero There's
—[116:47.600 --> 116:55.660] a boof crack but not fucking mango wings. Crack ain't spicy. Crack ain't spicy. Crack ain't spicy. Crack ain't spicy. Crack ain't spicy. Crack
—[116:55.660 --> 117:03.680] ain't spicy. So apparently he was smuggling chicken wings into the prison and up charging them a decent amount to the incarcerated people. 1
—[117:03.680 --> 117:11.940] day, 1 of the inmates, I guess, told another CO. The CO found out, got mad, and told,
—[117:11.940 --> 117:20.180] and blew up the whole operation. Then they went through the surveillance cameras and found out. I tried to get in on this, and he ain't wanna cut him in, so now I gotta ruin the whole operation. I don't know if that part's true,
—[117:20.180 --> 117:28.900] but it could be. I just wanna be clear, I'm not reporting that part as fact. But yeah, so he's in it. Call me what you want, I think this is a brilliant idea.
—[117:28.900 --> 117:37.200] Get your miserable ass outta here, my nigga. I think this is genius. Of course. Yeah. I told you my man and them was away at a military school.
—[117:37.580 --> 117:45.860] They was- Come on, man. Come on, yo. We were younger? No, I wasn't there. As adults? I wasn't there. My man and them went to a military high school to hoop.
—[117:46.020 --> 117:54.500] When they were younger. Yeah. I got it. And said that McDonald's was like 2 miles away. Niggas would walk to McDonald's and come back and sell nuggets for 20 and 30 dollars because all the kids there was rich.
—[117:55.260 --> 118:03.340] I'm not mad at that at all. Fuck you talking about. I love this shit. That shit is genius. I absolutely think this is great. I'm hating on them for stopping it. Let these niggas
—[118:03.340 --> 118:11.440] call some loved ones and get they wing money. Nigger lost they job over some wing stop though. You're pinching all that over a hating ass nigger.
—[118:11.500 --> 118:19.580] I'm gonna order some wing stuff. Yeah, word. Get a, no, I'm eating healthy, no, no. Well, yo, well done. We'll get back to that So what he would do by the way is he would order the
—[118:19.580 --> 118:27.720] wings act like it's his lunch He would eat a few of them wrap them in a paper towel and then slip them to the inmate and an inmate would It's exactly you go
—[118:27.720 --> 118:35.820] cash. I slow there you go. How much was it? I've heard different numbers that people are speculating, but we definitely know a Wingstop order, the order
—[118:35.820 --> 118:44.460] he got cost $42. So if he sent him 50, he wasn't charging for the whole thing. It probably was 3 or 4 wings. Cause usually the upcharge is pretty high. It's just like jail cigarettes. You
—[118:44.460 --> 118:52.740] know what I mean? He probably was charging him $10 a wing, 5 to $10 a wing. Oh, sheesh. And hopefully, hopefully it was sizable wings.
—[118:52.740 --> 119:01.100] You know what I mean? Well, wings don't use the little baby wings. And they got drums too. Hey, yo, do I want no damn drums? Yes, we do. Drums are the best thing. Drums are the best part.
—[119:01.100 --> 119:09.300] Nobody eat drums. I don't fucking trust them. Drums are better than flats. Drums are better than the flats. I like both. Flats are the best. I don't eat flats. Order in the court. Order in the court.
—[119:09.480 --> 119:17.500] I didn't think there would be 2 of y'all saying this blasphemous shit, but now we gotta have the conversation. That's Mark and parks that are on the side of drum. I prefer
—[119:17.500 --> 119:26.280] a drum. I prefer a drum. Over a flat. Yeah. You, I can come up with a reason why that is. It's the white, I know. You, the white. Explain
—[119:26.280 --> 119:34.540] yourself. I'm going to pause this first. He don't like black quarterbacks. Oh, yeah. Got it. I do. I got it. Yeah. That's amazing, man.
—[119:34.540 --> 119:42.880] He's taking Lamar Jackson's my guy. There you go. I'm not mad at drums, but when Wingstop asked me if I want all flats,
—[119:42.900 --> 119:51.100] I pay. Little $2, whatever it is. I pay. Yes. $2.19. You pay more to get less. I pay more to get what I want. Yeah. I like drums.
—[119:51.100 --> 119:59.100] I like both. Thank you. Thank you. So you on our side. You prefer the drums over flats. But wait, I like both too. I love both too. That's not what we saying.
—[119:59.100 --> 120:07.400] But my preference is drums. Yeah. I mean the truth is they both have. You'll never pick all flats. No. No. And Parks, you'll never pick all flats. Fuck though.
—[120:07.660 --> 120:15.770] Me neither. I don't know if I would want all drums either though. I was about to ask you, would y'all get all drums? I wouldn't want all drums, but if I had to choose all drums or all flats, I'm taking all drums. I'm taking all drums. No question. It's more meat in
—[120:15.770 --> 120:24.100] your mouth. Paul, nigga, you crazy? Right up your alley. Talk about the little joints, right? Flats, man. I know what flats is, I'm talking about the small, cause a drum, I don't like the, I mean the actual
—[120:24.100 --> 120:32.300] wing is really the drum and the flat. Yeah, that's the real hustle Hustle my nigga. I don't know how nobody really understood that they are taking 1
—[120:32.300 --> 120:40.440] wing, chopping that bitch in half, and selling it. And got us fighting over it. That's how the white man does, my brother. That's what he does. They
—[120:40.440 --> 120:49.740] got us in. They won. Yeah, yo. They won, they won. But seriously, the drum has more meat. All right. All right. Flat has more bone. Oh.
—[120:51.140 --> 120:59.560] In veins. Unpaused. Unpaused. I would you that slay, nigga. The drum gets crispier, I feel like. Yes.
—[121:00.240 --> 121:08.300] The sauce gets in it more. Yeah. I don't know how to eat a flat, man. That damn bone. No, no, how do you eat a flat, Ice? What's the proper way? Pull the bone out. You
—[121:08.300 --> 121:16.500] dump, dip it and eat it. Mm-hmm. Pull the bone out. Oh yeah, I saw that TikTok. That nigga just told us how to eat them shit. Yeah, That old other shit. That ain't how we grew
—[121:16.500 --> 121:24.740] up. Even when we was fucking our fingers off. Yeah, but he was like. You know what we was doing. I know. He was sucking that bone. Sucking out the bone. Exactly. They
—[121:24.740 --> 121:32.760] been creased. I was trying to set you up. I'm here. That's what happened. You look like 1 of them crystal niggas.
—[121:32.840 --> 121:40.980] You're kicking me? So there's appropriate ways to take the whole thing. I
—[121:40.980 --> 121:49.300] went, nope. Blatt syndrome. You're due to argue anything. Blatt syndrome. Shout out to everybody incarcerated,
—[121:49.900 --> 121:57.960] though. Keep eating, keep getting whatever you can the best way you can. Unless they did that shit. I bought these down here because I've got these on like an Instagram ad or some shit, but it's, first

—[124:57.980 --> 125:06.020] Do y'all wanna talk? Oh shit, Mark was talking about that story, which I was just as interested in, but I thought you were going
—[125:06.020 --> 125:14.180] to the ICE agents that invaded the strip club in Dallas and arrested 15
—[125:14.980 --> 125:23.080] dancers. No. Yeah, of course. I figured that'd be all beat. It's over for you motherfuckers in New York. Everybody wanted to go be Trump supporters, right? Yeah, yeah. Trump won,
—[125:23.080 --> 125:31.380] you said you went in the strip club, they had the Trump signs up, okay. We gon' see, as Merelda getting her ass out of there. They
—[125:31.380 --> 125:39.480] sent ICE agents to the strip club. Nah, them chicks went in there, They went in the back, put their clothes on and got their little a low overnight work bag and got the fuck out of
—[125:39.480 --> 125:47.540] Dodge. Boy. Now I was feeling bad because Who wants to be at work and have ICE agents
—[125:48.040 --> 125:57.280] running there and tell you that you can't shake some ass and get some money? More importantly, who wants to go to the MAGA strip club? I
—[125:57.280 --> 126:05.280] want to laugh at you, but these 2 niggas and Imani will go in a MAGA strip club. Who are these 2 niggas? You, Ish, and Imani
—[126:05.500 --> 126:13.560] will go to that Sapphire. Y'all will go to Larry's Hustle Club. The Hustle Club. Put that shit on 50th
—[126:13.680 --> 126:21.740] and the West Side Outways. The Hustlers, Larry Flint's Hustle Club. Say word for it, Imani, you just came from Exotica, you wouldn't go to Hustle Club? We're not, we're gonna get in Imani
—[126:21.760 --> 126:29.760] on a creature. Niggas been in that little Larry Flint Hustler's Club. You never been in there? I never been in there. A couple of your bitches worked in there. I did go to the other 1. How would you
—[126:29.760 --> 126:38.020] know? On God. Because your bitches are my bitches 9 months after. I keep saying it. Which means they was your bitches first.
—[126:38.020 --> 126:46.100] So you got them in there. Hey, spend it on me. I did go to the other White Strip club. What's the other White Strip club? That's right. Go right ahead and spend it. Nah, it's another
—[126:46.100 --> 126:54.440] 1 that was over there. Is it? Damn. Flashback. You're right. You're right. I can't remember that Was over there I went to a white strip club once for a bachelor party and
—[126:54.440 --> 127:02.760] the 1 right there that was doing fucking 60th and whatever that stayed open for mad late. So they the bitches over there That
—[127:02.760 --> 127:10.960] far is only 60 something it wasn't Sapphire. It was something else. I can't remember any But yet then I remembered how the New York
—[127:10.960 --> 127:20.420] strip clubs Well some people in the New York strip clubs treated me when I said that they should hire black people. And
—[127:20.420 --> 127:28.440] then I remember what some of y'all did when Trump was running the first time. I let it slide. Then he
—[127:28.440 --> 127:36.500] ran again. And y'all really got the show in y'all ass. And now they saying that he's owned Bitcoin. They saying all
—[127:36.500 --> 127:44.920] types of shit. They saying all types of shit on Trump. But yeah, I was really disappointed to see ICE agents run in strip clubs. Like,
—[127:44.920 --> 127:53.340] is anywhere safe? Is anywhere safe is all I'm saying. And to be clear, they're not just taking your favorite dancers, they're also shutting down the clubs now because they're trying to lock
—[127:53.420 --> 128:01.420] the club owners up or shutting down for harboring illegal people, for undocumented people as they say, illegal aliens. Well they can't take, That's why they can't take my
—[128:01.420 --> 128:09.580] favorite dancers. I'm harboring them. We in a great way. Spend it on me.
—[128:12.720 --> 128:20.860] They can't take my favorite dancers. My favorite dancers is working before work and after work. Let me shut up. What
—[128:20.860 --> 128:28.980] was I saying? You playing. Yeah, you ready to chill out? Yeah, yeah, I'm done. Nah, but just know your favorite clubs around the country might get shut down too, not just your favorite dancers.
—[128:30.320 --> 128:38.800] Let's write up a nigga. To the maga spots we go. No, to the niggas gonna, I had them with the titty bars. Niggas gonna have the same shit. They was doing doing over after the
—[128:39.060 --> 128:47.520] little locked door all black windows With it with the double and that's just someone not Texas shit, too There's
—[128:47.520 --> 128:55.640] an ICE agents running them spots over here, I ain't even gonna say nothing, man. I'm outside too much. I feel you, but if you do it in Texas, they do it in Florida, which means your Miami strip clubs gonna get shut
—[128:55.640 --> 129:03.900] down, and that means a lot to a whole lot of people. Yeah, $40. Shit, the Miami strip clubs is fucking filled with New York bitches. It's $40. Anyway,
—[129:04.080 --> 129:12.120] thoughts and prayers goes out to anyone that's trying to earn a living and they're being interrupted by these fucking pieces of shit. Like, I'm not with it,
—[129:12.120 --> 129:20.280] so let me put the jokes aside to say that's what I'm not with it, and it looks and feels nuts, and my heart goes out to y'all, nobody should have to go through that. That's important
—[129:20.280 --> 129:28.600] to me. The topic may be funny, but it's not really funny. Speaking on the government being on bullshit, y'all remember the story where the man lost his home
—[129:28.780 --> 129:36.820] in Brooklyn over the $5, 000 unpaid water bill? Yes. I remember that. Yes. Now, of course it came out on the news that he officially lost
—[129:36.820 --> 129:44.840] the home, but not only that, there are 1000 homes in Brooklyn that are going through the same thing, where they're putting liens on your home because of an unpaid water bill and it's
—[129:44.840 --> 129:53.000] being sold. So the government is on bullshit. Look at the white man pulled it out to go. Yeah, go on go go on the tax We're gonna go for unclaimed
—[129:53.000 --> 130:01.080] homes. Yeah But I'm just saying the government still on bullshit man The man lost his home is a lot of people that's losing their homes that's been decades and 7 days a week
—[130:01.080 --> 130:09.520] working to pay off their mortgage. And look what's happening. So just wanted to highlight that, man. You know what I'm saying? Shout out to Philmore Brown and hopefully,
—[130:10.860 --> 130:19.020] I don't know why we just can't pay the bill if it's, but whatever scam they got going on, to take over the neighborhoods, this was going on. It's getting nasty out here since
—[130:19.020 --> 130:27.040] we talking. Yeah, I'm letting Flip do that. Last time I got behind 1 of them Brooklyn projects, couple months later, they pulled up all the bodies this nigga caught, and I was
—[130:27.040 --> 130:35.240] just feeling stupid. Talk about some Brooklyn street fish pond. There you go, there you go. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that. Oh, the Koi. The
—[130:35.240 --> 130:43.360] Koi. That's the trick these niggas pull. No, that's not fucking niggas. Yeah, but this is an old man
—[130:43.420 --> 130:51.880] you talk about some I gotta see his record. Yo, why you always do it? What's up with you, bro? He's Brooklyn motherfuckers. It's a man that works 7 days
—[130:52.100 --> 131:00.340] a week. No, nigga, he lost his house. There's 1000 people who are about to lose their homes because of this fucking sham that the government got going on, man. That's
—[131:00.340 --> 131:08.800] fucked up. And me and Ish will not look up those homes either. We ain't doing that shit. You know what I mean? We ain't playing like that. It's just on the- It's just made an offer.
—[131:08.980 --> 131:17.360] I'm just thinking of putting up a phone. He's just Apple paid that shit. He's saying something paid that shit. Yeah. You know Apple paid, yo this is- That's crazy.
—[131:18.040 --> 131:26.220] I wouldn't have him. I wouldn't do that either. Yo. Anyway. These mics man. I was watching Higgs. I was watching
—[131:26.220 --> 131:34.340] an interview yesterday and Kamala Harris was doing an interview talking about running again. They said,
—[131:34.340 --> 131:42.600] are you going to run? Yeah, for president. Okay, she'd do better. You say what? She would do better. She would do better.
—[131:42.600 --> 131:50.700] I think she'd do worse. What are y'all talking about? Kamala Harris said she might run again. I think she'd do better. I think it's the worst thing. I think she had the same exact, from what I
—[131:50.700 --> 131:58.860] understand, maybe I'm wrong, they said that she used Joe Biden's team. You can't run the same campaign
—[131:58.980 --> 132:07.460] of a 70-year-old white man as you can as a black woman I think is just a bad strategy and I think they were out of touch. That's
—[132:07.460 --> 132:15.480] possible. You know what I think? This might be an unpopular opinion. This might be unpopular. It might be. This is true. I think it's true. And let me be clear. I like Kamala Harris. Is
—[132:15.480 --> 132:23.580] this could be like the quarterback thing? Some people will hear it that way. Some people are going to hear it that way, but it's not it. Parks. People don't
—[132:23.580 --> 132:31.740] like her. I don't know if they don't like her or they didn't know her, so they didn't resonate with her. There's 2 different things to me. Because Every chance they have to vote for it, they don't.
—[132:32.000 --> 132:40.040] For president. But let me be clear, I like Kamala Harris. Is this up to her? Running is up to
—[132:40.040 --> 132:48.160] her. She can run. Okay, running is up to her. And let me, again, I like her, I know her, I think she's a very nice person.
—[132:48.660 --> 132:56.720] I don't think that communicates well on camera sometimes. And when she ran for president in 2020, she got
—[132:56.720 --> 133:04.740] almost none of the votes. I mean, Pete Buttigieg, everybody did better than her. Then She became vice president and then she inherited the candidacy. I don't know if she wins a
—[133:04.740 --> 133:12.780] primary last summer. If she actually had to run. Oh, okay. I would agree with that. You see what I'm saying? She didn't win the vote. They put her in because where can people
—[133:12.780 --> 133:20.900] find you on Patreon and across your socials? Before you ask that- I'm glad you asked that, Joe. I actually have a video today called why Kamala Harris should not run for president on patreon check
—[133:20.900 --> 133:28.980] it out Mark Lamar Hill official, but wait deadass Nobody's talking about how
—[133:28.980 --> 133:37.020] mark is going for it on his patreon. He's body. He's taking the headline and in that bitch Mark real quick cuz this
—[133:37.020 --> 133:45.300] nigga wouldn't play around. What do you think the disconnect is? That's what I wanna know. With my Patreon? No, it's available Mark Lamont Hill Official. No, for real, with the people.
—[133:45.300 --> 133:53.760] Why do you think they don't like her? I think it's a few things. I think people are tougher on women. I think people are tougher on black people. And I think she's not a good candidate for
—[133:54.720 --> 134:02.780] president. She ran successfully for the Senate. She ran successfully for attorney general. But I think when you run for president, it's a particular thing that Americans are looking for, whether it's fair or not. And I think sometimes that connect isn't there.
—[134:02.780 --> 134:11.160] People don't feel connected to her. Got it. And I think that's the challenge with her. And her policies aren't that different than Biden. But for some reason, people felt
—[134:11.880 --> 134:19.900] more close to Biden. People felt closer to Obama. And people feel closer to AOC. So there's Bernie. I mean, there's a way to do it. I just don't know if she's gotten it
—[134:19.900 --> 134:28.120] yet. And my worry is not whether she runs and wins or loses. It's that if she runs and loses, what if she wins the primary and
—[134:28.120 --> 134:36.420] now JD Vance is president, right? Or what if she runs hard in the primary and because black people are gonna vote for her, she could split the vote from somebody
—[134:36.460 --> 134:45.040] who has a better chance or who has better policies and then the third party drives in who nobody wants. These are the kinds of things that I think about. And that's why
—[134:45.040 --> 134:53.040] I don't want her to run. It's not because I don't like her. It's not because I hate her or nothing like that. I just don't think, I don't think she can win. And I think her losing has higher stakes for everybody
—[134:53.040 --> 135:01.280] else. I think everything I agree with everything you said. I think that Charisma plays a part in the candidate
—[135:01.280 --> 135:09.380] running. You know, white men get the last word. Here you go. Go ahead. Go ahead. I think charisma plays a part in it. And I think we can say whatever
—[135:09.380 --> 135:17.620] we want to say about Donald Trump. He reaches the people, bro. He resonates with people. I think Obama was charismatic. I think that Hillary Clinton didn't
—[135:17.620 --> 135:27.540] win because nobody like she's like a piece of cardboard sitting up there talking to you the bitches like no. I
—[135:27.540 --> 135:35.860] ain't gonna hold y'all. See this is where I gotta jump in and I'm trying to step on y'all serious topics. This is where they start saying that we anti
—[135:35.860 --> 135:43.900] intellectuals. Like even if some of what y'all saying is true, is it irresponsible of y'all to say it? No. No, I think quite the opposite. I think it's quite the opposite.
—[135:43.900 --> 135:52.020] I think that You came in here and you made an amazing point when Trump was winning. And you said basically whoever was on his team. Fuck he drug me in it. No, when you said
—[135:52.020 --> 136:00.060] that whoever was on Trump's team, they were doing an amazing job at reaching whatever target audience they wanted to reach. When we went to Detroit, we're gonna
—[136:00.060 --> 136:08.360] go get Trick Trick. Kamala Harris wouldn't come sit here. Kamala Harris wouldn't go to Rogan. Guess what Donald Trump did? Went right there to Rogan, humanized himself
—[136:08.420 --> 136:16.580] in front of the biggest fucking fan base in the world. And so those things, I think, is where she dropped the ball
—[136:16.640 --> 136:24.640] in her campaign. You not resonating with the people, bro. Yeah, and you have to, you have to, and again, to me, why it's responsible is because the
—[136:24.640 --> 136:32.780] stakes are so high. Like, if her losing doesn't just mean she loses, not her personal winner loss, it's, if her running makes
—[136:32.780 --> 136:40.800] it more likely that JD Vance is president and Donald Trump effectively gets a third term, then I think it's irresponsible to run. Then you should be loud. Then you should be loud
—[136:40.800 --> 136:49.320] and vocal. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I understand the thought process. I saw a few quick hits because
—[136:49.320 --> 136:57.540] that was our educated political takes. Paying to me to hear my uneducated political takes. Biden popped up somewhere to
—[136:57.540 --> 137:05.960] speak and his mouth ain't moving No more as the words come out. He should be put up. It's time to go to Costco's. It's
—[137:05.960 --> 137:13.980] time to make He don't need to publicly speak. He shouldn't say that
—[137:13.980 --> 137:22.900] he should he doesn't need to publicly speak anymore is what I'm saying. That's number 1. 2, the
—[137:22.900 --> 137:30.960] New York mayoral candidate race. Yes! 1 week left. Wake it up. Yeah. My ignorant take
—[137:30.960 --> 137:39.880] is, boy am I having fun watching Curtis Lee ways? Commercials, you know half
—[137:39.880 --> 137:48.080] a second law Don't know much about politics When his commercial come up
—[137:48.080 --> 137:56.360] you better not blink And he don't got the cost money nigga. He ain't got the good fun. Those shits look like he made a mic a druid.
—[137:57.040 --> 138:05.440] And put it out like those commercials are funny. That's my second, vote for Kurt. That's my second uneducated political
—[138:06.020 --> 138:14.160] take. And my final uneducated political take is, like I have already told y'all, I don't know if commercials work
—[138:14.160 --> 138:23.080] or don't work, But John Crittitelli. At 1 commercial. He only got 1 commercial. He
—[138:23.080 --> 138:31.340] only got 1. Hey, I do not approve of John Crittitelli as the governor
—[138:31.460 --> 138:39.520] over there. Them commercials are still fucking him up with all that MAGA. You want MAGA? And listen, they
—[138:39.520 --> 138:47.520] almost turned Jersey. It's funny, but it's not. It's funny, but it's not. They almost turned Jersey. You see what they're trying to do in New York. So for the commercial to come on is
—[138:47.520 --> 138:55.660] a jack crittitelli is the Donald Trump a trend hey make your way to the polls god damn it anyone
—[138:55.660 --> 139:03.740] to raise fucking New Jersey on tax on food and clothes and all that shit he only got 1 commercial Get him the fuck out of here. Get him out
—[139:03.740 --> 139:12.350] of here. I seen his 1 commercial where he dissing his man. Nah. No. You gonna need more than that. Bucko. All right.
—[139:12.350 --> 139:21.520] That's the end of my political talk. I just had some news in economy since we're here. Oh yeah, since we're in economy. Let's go, Freeze. Apparently,
—[139:21.600 --> 139:29.620] no limit, Freeze. Tank it. Apparently, no limit. Freeze ain't even have a new pair of Tams to rep no limit right now. The price of. The fuck
—[139:29.620 --> 139:38.060] out of here. I said the same shit. Look at Freeze. He ain't even had the Louis to this. He look good though. He look good, Freeze. He ain't even had the Teflon to this. Freeze, don't listen to this nigga, Freeze.
—[139:38.280 --> 139:46.560] Teflon, nigga. And the Teflon. Teflon. So this is bullproof? Right. You just
—[139:46.560 --> 139:55.020] had it. Go ahead, Freeze. The Teflon on Joyce. Shit. Cardi says that
—[139:55.180 --> 140:03.260] the price of bizox boxes down Due to the economy. The price
—[140:03.260 --> 140:11.400] of boxes down. Down. When did she say that? Are you serious? Yeah, she said it. I'm gonna, all right, I'll read it, I'll read it. You
—[140:11.400 --> 140:20.240] know how you know the economy is bad? How? Because not even the prostitutes are getting fly. She's absolutely right. She's where have you seen a hole with a good Chanel bag? Chicks
—[140:20.240 --> 140:28.320] was buying Chanel bags like they was fucking female rappers. Mm-hmm. Where have you seen a chick with a chain with her name on it? Mm-hmm. Where have you seen a chick pop out with a
—[140:28.320 --> 140:37.740] good fucking Birkin? Even a prostitutes are going through it. The hoes were selling pussy for 10, 000. Now they going for 2, 500. Because
—[140:37.740 --> 140:45.940] the economy is that bad. Is there anybody in the room that has invested a lot into this stock? That has any creed? Yeah, that could kind of. Listen,
—[140:46.860 --> 140:54.900] I totally agree with her. I've said on numerous occasions that me, I can tell which way the world is
—[140:54.900 --> 141:03.340] going by what the underworld is doing. To address her Chanel point though, Chanel has raised their prices incrementally every
—[141:03.420 --> 141:11.520] season. Like more than probably everybody else. Bitches ain't just running around getting a Chanel bag. You can go to Flagship Chanel on Fifth Ave. It ain't in
—[141:11.520 --> 141:19.560] there. Some of this shit is fucking, come on, what's the word? Scarcity? It's scarcity and prices with Chanel is all I'm saying, but all
—[141:19.560 --> 141:27.740] of her points are correct. They are. I know what you mean. I didn't know they were that high. No, it's just ridiculous. I didn't
—[141:27.740 --> 141:35.820] know. Were you shopping? Oh yeah. I was going, you know. But you didn't know pussy was that high? No. Chanel, the other bag. Oh. I'm saying, you

—[154:24.440 --> 154:32.440] than they expected. Other people, yeah. It'll be interesting to see what the actual date is. Obviously that's an estimate based on everything. You know, when you
—[154:32.440 --> 154:40.660] factor in good time and you factor in drug treatment, when you factor in all these things, the date could move up. We'll see. Yeah, that's just
—[154:40.660 --> 154:48.720] the max out date as of today. Look at Mark being a bitch. No, he'll be in a halfway house. What do you think though? Probably way sooner. Well, I think you're just gonna be out.
—[154:48.720 --> 154:57.020] I ain't in a bitch, but I actually think you're just gonna get out sooner. Yeah. I'm still not convinced Trump's not going to commute it. He's just going to try to negotiate
—[154:57.400 --> 155:05.440] the best terms for Trump. Yeah, Exactly. Exactly. I wouldn't have shocked me if you saw puff home by Christmas. Well, let's just make sure puff don't think that you're
—[155:05.440 --> 155:13.460] a tori No 1 will ever think that No, nobody for they
—[155:13.460 --> 155:21.920] wouldn't think that nobody confused mark with Bill Nye Funful little bit would they confuse now? I'm on my way
—[155:22.100 --> 155:30.580] to the educator world. Let's see and what was up that hoodie You got I gotta watch your hoodies. Oh, no, it's just a Kobe Bryant hoodie. We actually sold it at Uncle Bobby's, my bookstore.
—[155:31.240 --> 155:40.240] 1 of our apparel lines. Great bookstores. We got this, we got Nipsey and a couple others. Rest in peace, Colby, rest in peace, Nipsey. For sure. I
—[155:40.240 --> 155:48.240] don't have nothing to say on the puff shit. I know. He coming home now? I think he'll be in the halfway house. We're gonna
—[155:48.240 --> 155:56.400] get 10 years, he got all kinds of shit to say. He gonna check a lot of shit. Yeah exactly. Hey yo, I heard what you said, you know? Has anyone seen Brother Joe? What'd you say? You wasn't going to talk to me again? Let me holler at you real quick.
—[155:56.400 --> 156:04.700] Who talk to you, Playboy? I mean, holler, I'm at Sylvia's. Let me talk. Pull up on me. When you
—[156:04.980 --> 156:13.840] see Brother Joe, make sure he makes his way to
—[156:13.840 --> 156:21.860] my office immediately. That's just always going to be funny. We got
—[156:21.900 --> 156:30.820] new news that I don't even know how to feel about this just yet. Apparently Cameron is suing J. Cole. C-Y-T? What?
—[156:30.900 --> 156:39.080] C-Y-S. For what? Back last year when J. Cole dropped the mic delete later. Okay. I'm
—[156:39.080 --> 156:47.080] ready, 2020 version. Apparently there was an agreement made for Cam's contribution to that, that J. Cole would either contribute to
—[156:47.080 --> 156:55.440] a future project of his or appear on the It Is What It Is show. And he hasn't done either. So
—[156:55.440 --> 157:04.020] now Cam is suing saying, I haven't been fairly compensated for my contribution to that project. Okay.
—[157:05.100 --> 157:13.160] This seems like it's something that can be solved in a text or email, but maybe- J. Cole, pay Cam and- Or that. Yeah, J. Cole got it. Of
—[157:13.160 --> 157:21.240] course. Yeah, I don't- Why Did they just figure out some type of, well I guess they did figure out some type of compensation. They did. Because Cam might have said, I don't want the money,
—[157:21.240 --> 157:29.660] I much prefer you to come on my show, you never came on my show, I don't know the particulars of it. Yeah, I might have been asking you for months to come on my show and you dubbing me.
—[157:29.980 --> 157:38.140] Well I'm not outside right now. I'm suing J. Cole too, fuck that. If I'm J. Cole, but you know what, if I'm Cole, all my
—[157:38.140 --> 157:46.580] pop outs are strategic. Fuck all this shit, they're suing that nigga too. Hey, if I got any reason to bring Jermaine to court, just for fun,
—[157:46.580 --> 157:55.040] just to say you did it. That's bad. Is that a fair barter, a verse for show appearance? No, no,
—[157:55.040 --> 158:03.580] can't say that. Depends on- It's fair, they think it's fair. Yeah, might be. They agree. Yeah. In your prime, what was a Joe Button verse worth? In my prime? Yeah.
—[158:05.100 --> 158:13.140] From a major label. Yeah, like if you were making a bargain. Or a prime bag money. Oh, that's interesting. I was thinking in terms of an exchange, like if Cole versus Worth,
—[158:13.440 --> 158:21.760] an appearance on the pod, What would yours be worth? No, no, a Cam verse is worth an appearance on the pot. I'm sorry, a Cam verse is worth, yeah, right, right, right, right, right, right, they co-appearing
—[158:21.820 --> 158:29.870] on the pot. But Cole is also a huge Cam fan. Yeah, and they've worked together before. And they've worked together before. So that's where it gets, so they have some sort-
—[158:29.870 --> 158:38.000] So that's the value of the verse. Yeah, no, no, not at all. Not at all. They have some sort of amicable relationship, even if it's just professionally clearing
—[158:38.000 --> 158:46.340] samples. So who knows? But to answer your question, if it were a major label in my prime, I could have got maybe
—[158:46.540 --> 158:54.640] 25, but again, inflation happens since then. So that sounds low now, but 25 in my prime But brown bag. It's probably like 50 now. Yeah. Oh in terms of today, it would be
—[158:54.640 --> 159:02.780] 50 grand Yeah, it'd be 50 grand like if Christina Milian or Marcus used them somebody called would get 50 grand in today's language Got you I'm thinking about that because the reason
—[159:02.780 --> 159:11.160] I asked was because I'm thinking about the barter and I'm like If I'm trying to start it is what it is at that time Fit it was using that number
—[159:11.580 --> 159:20.200] a coal appearance when you're trying to get subscribers you're trying to build it up It still seems it is what it is took off rather quickly. Yeah, like overnight like Episode
—[159:20.200 --> 159:28.221] 2. Yeah, I feel like that was out before the mixtape in question. I could be wrong. And granted they could have. It was. They could have. Yeah, it was what it
—[159:28.221 --> 159:36.600] was out before. So who do you think was being more fair, Ken? That's what I'm trying to understand, yeah. It sounds even Stephen to me a little bit. Okay, same. Cam didn't rap on that.
—[159:36.840 --> 159:45.260] So? So I know I let you use my shit. I don't take no money. I let you use my shit, yeah. I ain't take no bread. So I think- It don't sound Like
—[159:45.260 --> 159:53.260] a bad change to me. Yeah, and I think if I'm, and they agree, so it couldn't be that bad. I think at the time, I think if I'm Cam, I'm like yo, keep your bread, just do me a solid, the way
—[159:53.260 --> 160:01.320] I'm doing you a solid. I also understand it from Cole's position where like Ice was saying, he's strategic. When he does pop out and do shit, he don't just pop up normally. Yeah, I'm not
—[160:01.320 --> 160:09.480] just pop, like, yeah. And he probably has something coming relatively soon, so he's like I just wait till March when my shit drop. All right, actually
—[160:09.480 --> 160:18.340] now the more that we talk it over communicate that cam comes up in that it still may be a fair exchange, But because potting and
—[160:18.480 --> 160:26.580] these shows have taken off, I can take a star rapper's verse or appearance and turn it into money that you won't
—[160:26.580 --> 160:34.800] be able to see. Got it. The replay, there's so many things that come into my business. I can take
—[160:34.800 --> 160:42.800] this and go to people that are not in the music business and get an 8 figure check. Yeah, I got J. Cole. Just off your name. Just off
—[160:42.800 --> 160:50.860] of you, yeah, yeah, I get it. That's what I was thinking. I'm not saying that's I don't know their business. But if I had a J. Cole
—[160:50.860 --> 160:58.900] appearance, there's no sponsor that I wouldn't be able to speak to. There's no company I wouldn't be able to speak to. Yeah, I could go and don't let me have this a month in advance where
—[160:58.900 --> 161:07.040] I can actually shop and talk to people. Right. That would be great. What is Cole getting out of the, other than I'm a fan, I'm trying to honor the culture
—[161:07.060 --> 161:15.160] and I love you and I want to, what does he get out of this? The Cole verse is going to be the Cole song, it's going to be the Cole record, it's going to be the Cole album, it's going to be the Cole whatever.
—[161:15.260 --> 161:23.400] If I'm cam and I'm a hustler I'm flipping that 90 million different ways and he will know that and can what? Cam cam is that and Cole
—[161:23.400 --> 161:31.560] knows that he will flip the hell out of that I really got a salute to McConvince con having niggas out there. I do man all weekend I was looking at my phone like oh
—[161:31.560 --> 161:39.560] shit. All right. Okay. Oh, okay. Oh, hey, oh, okay Like they they did it. They did it. They did it. Shout
—[161:39.560 --> 161:48.260] out all parties involved. Yes. I can't wait to see what cold pops out with next say All right, I don't care about any of the in between, between
—[161:48.260 --> 161:56.780] album stuff. I want to hear his brain, his thoughts coming off of all of that shit. It's time now. I want to hear fall off.
—[161:57.080 --> 162:05.380] That's it. I'm ready. That's it. Like the Mike Delete letter was cool. You know, the apology, I don't really care. It is what it is. In hindsight
—[162:05.380 --> 162:13.440] now, looking at what's the best move to make, we've all, I think, agreed upon that. For sure. I'm just ready for album coal. Me too. We there
—[162:13.440 --> 162:21.480] now. Me too. Same. And I'd have to imagine you'll be coming somewhat soon. Gotta be. Gotta be. Prediction, any prediction?
—[162:22.020 --> 162:30.160] Drop time? Yeah. Spring next year. I had them before
—[162:30.360 --> 162:38.380] February. Really? So anytime between now and the end of January. Nah, he's gonna want to play the Grammy hotspot time in January is tougher.
—[162:39.180 --> 162:47.360] I dropped January and Grammys is February. I'm outside. No, no, no, no, no. He said after. Grammy nominations start in September. So
—[162:47.360 --> 162:55.680] you were, if you drop in February, you're all people's minds by the time the vote would happen in the next September. I have a part of the show that's rather
—[162:55.680 --> 163:03.720] long, but I will read it. This says, if
—[163:03.720 --> 163:12.040] I could stop fucking up my shit, let me see. Do do do do do do do do do do do. Okay, it's
—[163:12.040 --> 163:20.300] so long that I gotta try to read this a different way. Who is this? This person is
—[163:21.580 --> 163:29.660] G. What's up G? What's happening G? What up G? And rest in peace to my little white boy G from Seattle, passed a few months ago. I got to say that again
—[163:29.660 --> 163:38.800] if I didn't say it the first time. Shout out to G, rest in peace. All right, but this G says, I think sometimes when
—[163:38.800 --> 163:47.040] you guys cover things like the Stephen A. Smith, Bronnie topic, you occasionally miss the mark because you either personally know 1 of the subjects of discussion or because
—[163:47.040 --> 163:55.240] you empathize in some way as a fellow public figure, broadcaster, etc. So I wanted to try to give you an outside perspective on the topic as someone who isn't
—[163:55.240 --> 164:03.580] connected in any way. Okay. I don't know Stephen A Smith. I don't know LeBron. I don't know anyone with the Lakers, ESPN or anyone involved.
—[164:03.840 --> 164:12.320] I'm just a fan and want to tell you why I think what Stephen A. Smith does is both nasty and distinctly different from, say, how Mark might critique Brawny.
—[164:12.860 --> 164:20.980] You all know for a fact that Stephen A. Smith doesn't think Brawny deserved to be taken with the 55th pick right? He doesn't
—[164:20.980 --> 164:29.120] think he belongs in the league. He thinks it's nothing more than nepotism and leverage. He's covered it at Nausiumn.
—[164:29.660 --> 164:37.740] I need to make the font bigger. He's covered it at Nausium on his show. And he says he does it because it's his job to cover the NBA and relevant
—[164:37.740 --> 164:45.880] storylines. So he has to talk about it. And as you all say, Bronnie chose to be a professional basketball player. So he has therefore
—[164:45.880 --> 164:54.080] subjected and opened himself up to any and all critiques, right? Okay, fair. I'm following. But let me ask you, what is Stephen
—[164:54.080 --> 165:02.260] A. Smith's opinion about the 54th pick in that draft? What's his opinion about the 44th pick? Do any of you know what he thinks
—[165:02.260 --> 165:10.380] about the 34th pick? What's his opinion about the 24th pick? Quick, off the top of your head. I want someone on that couch to tell
—[165:10.380 --> 165:18.480] me what Stephen A. Smith's opinion is of Zachary Risscher. I think we've said this opinion, but carry on, G. Well,
—[165:18.480 --> 165:26.820] he's got a lot more to go here Okay, you don't know and that's the point see I would have said that his fear to critique Brawny and not the 54th pick Because
—[165:26.940 --> 165:34.960] by the sheer nature of his name and lineage Brawny is a bigger storyline, but he was also the 55th pick Zachary. Ricochers
—[165:35.060 --> 165:43.060] was the number 1 overall pick in that draft. Who the fuck is that? What do you have? You talk about something real. Okay. The first overall pick
—[165:43.060 --> 165:51.240] every year is a guy that the NBA hopes and praise can someday turn into the face of the league. He should absolutely be a storyline, and I'm willing to bet that
—[165:51.240 --> 165:59.420] 99.9% of listeners not only can't tell me what Stephen A. Smith's opinion of him is, but they probably don't know who he is or where
—[165:59.420 --> 166:07.580] he plays. But you know for a fact that Bronnie doesn't belong in the league because the biggest name in sports broadcasting on the biggest show and on the biggest
—[166:07.580 --> 166:15.880] network Routinely tells you both directly and indirectly that Bronnie doesn't belong Look Bronnie James
—[166:15.880 --> 166:23.940] isn't LeBron but he was a McDonald's All-American and a starter on a legitimate D1 team before he had a fucking heart attack. And if
—[166:23.940 --> 166:32.420] that wasn't enough, he has 1 percentile athleticism in the history of the world. Yeah, I think an NBA team might take a swing on the kid.
—[166:32.660 --> 166:41.520] You want to see real nepotism? Tell me why Stephen A. Smith's daughter is getting airtime on the biggest platform in sports media. He
—[166:41.520 --> 166:51.156] was picked number 1 in Atlanta in 2024. He's from France. Is her
—[166:51.156 --> 166:59.380] resume in journalism equivalent to Bronnie's in basketball? And even if it is, is her resume better than the millions of people out there that have been grinding away for years in the sports media and journalism space and
—[166:59.380 --> 167:07.860] would kill for a couple minutes every now and then on ESPN's first take. Or did Stephen A. Smith use his power and leverage to get her airtime? Stephen
—[167:07.860 --> 167:16.200] A. Can spin the narratives any way he wants. That show was not founded on the Dallas Cowboys or Tim Tebow or Alabama football or Lensanity.
—[167:16.860 --> 167:24.900] First take built an empire mainly off its patriarch, Skip Bayless, coming in every single day and finding some new way to kick LeBron's back in
—[167:24.900 --> 167:33.040] no matter what the topic was. And when Skip left, Stephen A took up the mantle by constantly taking passive aggressive snarky potshots at LeBron with
—[167:33.040 --> 167:42.200] sarcastic graphics and title bars, sassy jabs, damning with
—[167:42.200 --> 167:50.580] faint praise and all other sorts of petty bullshit to convince a generation of fans that the guy Stephen A. Smith himself admittedly has
—[167:50.580 --> 167:58.790] ranked as the second greatest basketball player to ever play the game is nothing more than a whiny, petulant, unimpressive, soft-hearted diva. And
—[167:58.840 --> 168:06.840] even though LeBron has occasionally taken a little shot here and there in the media, for the most part, He's taken it all on the chin for the past
—[168:06.840 --> 168:14.840] 23 years Because he understood the weight that comes with being the face of the NBA But now after all of that after decades of
—[168:14.840 --> 168:22.860] careers television shows and networks being built off kicking my back in. As I'm on my way out the door, you're still taking shots at
—[168:22.860 --> 168:31.080] me by crucifying my kid. Nah, dog. Now I gotta come see you. Every segment, Steve and they says athletes got
—[168:31.080 --> 168:39.080] his number. Every segment he talks about how easy it is to find him and that he's at the games. Every segment he says that they could talk to him at any point.
—[168:39.900 --> 168:48.340] Well, Braun pulled up and you wasn't about it. Or maybe, just maybe, you knew you were in the wrong. I get it. Stephen
—[168:48.340 --> 168:56.600] A's all of our friend. But there are a lot of topics, including LeBron, where I think Stephen A's pretty foul and doesn't deserve bail. And
—[168:56.600 --> 169:04.780] the more I hear about political parties considering him for office, the sicker I get about it. A rich, charismatic, loud mouth,
—[169:04.780 --> 169:12.880] politically inexperienced, egotistical celebrity who takes 0 accountability and usually doesn't know what he's talking about, but is absolutely
—[169:12.980 --> 169:21.260] sure he's right. Running this country? Yeah, that 1 hits a little too close to home at the moment for my liking.
—[169:22.960 --> 169:31.080] That's what's happening right now. Tell me about it. The president of the United States is everything that he just described. I get it. I get it. But I think homeboy
—[169:31.080 --> 169:39.360] is mistaken in a few points. I agree. I think he's mistaken in 1. Have at it. He was the 55th pick. Cool. Your
—[169:39.360 --> 169:47.780] father is arguably a top 3 basketball player to ever lace up sneakers. Fair or unfair, you will be the subject
—[169:47.780 --> 169:55.960] of the media. So if he was great, he would be the subject of the media. He's not so great, he's still gonna be the subject of the media based on who your father is.
—[169:56.080 --> 170:04.138] So you gotta take the goods and the bads that come along with who your father is. So to his point, we, it's beating
—[170:04.311 --> 170:12.540] a dead horse, bro. I just think that Stephen A. Smith, in my opinion, didn't ever say anything
—[170:12.540 --> 170:20.540] negative about Bronnie James. I think he said something negative about his basketball ability, And I think that that is what he is paid to do. If we were
—[170:20.540 --> 170:28.680] in here critiquing rappers and Trey came in and Trey didn't have dope bars and somebody said, Trey don't have dope bars, they're not taking a shot at Trey. He
—[170:28.680 --> 170:36.700] didn't say anything about Trey's personal anything. He said, I don't think he's a good enough basketball player to be in the NBA and he's well within
—[170:36.700 --> 170:44.840] his right to say that. I don't think that's disrespectful to Bron or Bronnie. But when you start saying like as a father, you should step in and you shouldn't
—[170:44.840 --> 170:52.840] allow it, like you made it, you took it more than basketball. You made it damn near an attack on LeBron's father skills by
—[170:52.840 --> 171:00.860] allowing your son to join, even into the draft. I would have a word for anybody that chose to critique Stephen A's
—[171:00.860 --> 171:08.940] daughter as a broadcaster because she's getting main airtime on whatever channel he chooses to put her on. I would think that that's
—[171:08.940 --> 171:17.080] foul not just because she's underage, but because why would you do it? And bigger than that. Why would you do it? Everybody on these couches, everybody on these couches
—[171:17.080 --> 171:25.240] sat here. I wanna hear from Mark on that. Hold up, everybody on these couches sat up here and said, yo, I appreciate the nepotism. Oh, that's a fact. Every motherfucker
—[171:25.240 --> 171:33.420] in this room said, yo, I don't, cause again, the Bromie situation is two-sided. 1 is LeBron James has put his blood, sweat, and tears into building
—[171:33.420 --> 171:41.440] a league. I don't give a fuck if my son not good enough to be here. So what? Go make my son a multimillionaire because I earned for my son
—[171:41.440 --> 171:49.500] to be a multimillionaire. Then there's a basketball conversation that says, yo, yeah, he was a McDonald All-American, he might not have been all state. He might not even deserve to
—[171:49.500 --> 171:57.880] be a McDonald All-American, in some people's opinion. So that's 2 totally different conversations. There's also the third side of that, which is the business conversation, is this man is
—[171:58.120 --> 172:06.640] gonna say, James, on the back of his jersey, and he's gonna sell a shitload of it. And we gonna market it. And we'll get that picture of them. He's worth all the press, all the oversized,
—[172:07.260 --> 172:15.700] for his draft status, money that he got, anything. Because he's going to sell tickets, He's going to sell Impressions on media on the internet.
—[172:16.160 --> 172:24.640] He's worth every cent. Now. I think I think there's a whole lot of, both things can be true in this whole email in diatribe. Yeah,
—[172:24.640 --> 172:33.100] it's a lot of nuance. I think there's, respectfully, I think that person's doing a lot of apples and oranges comparisons. He is. But I
—[172:33.100 --> 172:41.280] agree. I think we can critique Bronnie James as a basketball player and that should be the end of it.
—[172:41.280 --> 172:49.540] I agree with you, we shouldn't be critiquing LeBron as a father. As a dad. As a parent, yeah. The 2 don't have to, yeah. But even that is not an attack on Bronte, that's an
—[172:49.540 --> 172:57.720] attack on Lebron. If Bronte wants to take that up, I think he has a right to. Yeah, he says, Stephen A said, I have you have my phone number, but he didn't call him. He rolled up
—[172:57.720 --> 173:05.880] on him in the stadium, which is different. I think the whole point is we can have this conversation offline, off the record, and build a relationship. He don't owe Stephen A that, but I do think
—[173:05.880 --> 173:14.060] that, again, that's apples and oranges. I get the point about Stephen A's daughter, but again, there's a difference between bringing
—[173:14.060 --> 173:22.120] your kid on as your kid as a kind of a fun thing for broadcast and bringing her on as a co-host. And manipulating the system to... Yeah, and bring her on as
—[173:22.120 --> 173:30.200] a co-host, right? Because if you bring your daughter on to be a co-host and now you're stepping over other people's resumes, then yeah, I do have a right to say this
—[173:30.200 --> 173:38.560] isn't good TV. I'm not going to attack her as a person, especially as an underage person, but even as a grown person. I'm probably, but I'm going to say, I don't even like talking about it. Right, me either. But
—[173:38.560 --> 173:46.640] I don't think it'd be wrong if they brought her on inside the NBA to be an analyst for people to say, I don't enjoy this. I also don't think that that's necessarily an
—[173:46.640 --> 173:54.760] attack on their fathering ability, by the way. I think that's like a shout out to your fathering. Like, yo, you pull all these strings. That's dope. Right. But, but what I wouldn't say
—[173:54.760 --> 174:03.120] is, you know, as a dad, you should be embarrassed to have your daughter on TV like that. Cause then that's where it becomes weird. And that's why I think Steve, I would not have said what Stephen a said
—[174:03.160 --> 174:11.160] well But I do think it's okay again if you put someone in a position to be criticized That's that marriage critique to criticize them And I think that's difference between the Stephen example
—[174:11.160 --> 174:19.160] and the brony example and also you got to take the good with the bad Brony James was not the first best player on his high school team. He wasn't the second best player on his high school team.
—[174:19.240 --> 174:27.260] He didn't, his numbers didn't deserve that. And I'm not saying that to criticize right now. No, no, I'm not kicking his back. I'm doing the opposite. I'm doing the opposite. I'm saying we
—[174:27.260 --> 174:36.160] gave him a lot more attention, favorable attention as a high school player and as a college player, then he deserved 2. But nobody was mad about that. Nobody was saying, why
—[174:36.280 --> 174:44.360] are we spending so much time showing the high school games of the fourth best player at Sierra Canyon? Why are we spending so much time showing something? We didn't because we were rooting for Brownie. We want him to win.
—[174:44.380 --> 174:52.620] I'm still rooting for him and want him to win. But you can't accept the favorable coverage that wasn't deserved and then get mad at the critique
—[174:52.620 --> 175:00.760] that wasn't deserved. Listen, G was a little long-winded and Ternes made us long-winded. I've given more attention than I'd like to to the Bronnie James saga. I do have
—[175:00.760 --> 175:09.120] another fan submitted question that may be a bit more entertaining for me at least. Let's hear it. No, it's just a good question.
—[175:09.640 --> 175:17.800] This is from a gentleman named Jay Sire 30. I saved the question. All right, what's happening, Jay? Somebody would have part of the show asked
—[175:17.800 --> 175:25.800] these niggas this shit. No, he's white, so he might not have said niggas. I'm just talking. He said, since there is always talk about Joe painting
—[175:25.800 --> 175:33.940] a narrative, what would each cast member want their narrative to be? And how would it make the show better?
—[175:35.980 --> 175:44.160] I repeat the question. Since there is always talk about Joe creating a narrative, what would each cast
—[175:44.160 --> 175:52.460] member want their narrative to be and how would it make the show better? I read that and thought it was a really good question.
—[175:52.520 --> 176:00.520] I saved it to present it to you guys. It's gotta be more entertaining than Ronnie James Lander. Yes, yes. Yeah, it's a tough question to answer off the
—[176:00.520 --> 176:08.780] cuff. It's a tough question. It's a tough question. It's a tough question to just answer off the impromptu. I think there is, when they kind of happen naturally through
—[176:08.860 --> 176:17.080] things that we say, things that we do, even if we don't like them, are entertaining and make the show better. Yeah, that's right. So I think whatever happens naturally, I think forcing
—[176:17.080 --> 176:25.160] a narrative often comes across weird cringy. Yeah. Yeah, whereas Wearing new balance all the time and you have a new balance deal is funny Like it's not and
—[176:25.160 --> 176:33.180] it's not hard hurting anybody's Yeah, except his about say his NDA. So that's probably a fly narrative that that's gonna make the show better.
—[176:33.180 --> 176:41.400] Like, oh shit, you in all New Balance. Yeah. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? That's what y'all saying. What do you think the narrative should be? Don't flip a question
—[176:41.400 --> 176:49.460] on me. Yeah, exactly. Y'all are the fucking question. You critiquing me as a person. Clearly y'all know what time it is for me. I like making up narratives. I was gonna say that.
—[176:49.460 --> 176:57.480] And I'm not a narrative, it's not that he like new bounces. I think it's that we're so, that Joe treats us so poorly, underpays us so much that we have to seek outside deals. So that's a narrative. That's the
—[176:57.480 --> 177:05.780] narrative, that's the fun narrative. He flipped it. I love that 1. Yeah. That's good. When he get to do a half day work. This nigga
—[177:05.780 --> 177:13.780] is praying. He flipped the shit out of that. He up too. Let's think about it and try to come back in Patreon. Mark will ask you Friday on Patreon, but let's
—[177:13.780 --> 177:21.860] try, I think it's a good question. I think it deserves more attention than us saying that you mean like the you and the rent stuff. Yeah. Like it naturally came up. It's funny.
—[177:21.860 --> 177:29.920] If we want to beat a dead horse, it's funny. It's funny. It's organic. Nobody heard. I will say this since I'm not going to be on the page. I do like heel narratives. That's the thing that I like. I like being the heel. I like being the
—[177:29.920 --> 177:38.340] back. I like narratives that make me want. You don't say. I think they're fun, because they're not true. The ones that aren't true, yeah, like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not like crazy shit, but like, yeah, I think it's fun.
—[177:39.080 --> 177:47.240] You know. Narrative. When you got a haircut this morning? Yesterday. Yeah, that shit fresh black, ain't it? Look at that, look at that. That shit sharpie. Oh,
—[177:47.240 --> 177:55.380] look at that shit. Yeah, look at Mark. I was waiting for it. I ain't saying that. You look good. You look good. You look good. I don't have anything else that needs our
