Summary
Rory and Mal discuss recent hip-hop beef between T.I./his family and 50 Cent, analyze Saha's diss record toward J. Cole, review new music releases including Bruno Mars' surprise album, and debate topics ranging from mental health in media to celebrity culture and social responsibility.
Insights
- Family rap feuds can serve as effective marketing tools for multiple artists simultaneously, leveraging collective attention and streaming benefits across a shared narrative
- Lyricism and output are separate metrics—artists with exceptional pen game may lack the prolific catalog needed for mainstream recognition and legacy conversations
- Media outlets face ethical tension between platforming struggling individuals for entertainment value versus protecting their mental health and dignity
- Geographic and cultural upbringing creates lasting pressure on personal identity that persists into adulthood, even when individuals move away from those environments
- Consumer skepticism toward corporate claims (e.g., food sourcing, ingredient authenticity) reflects broader trust deficits in large institutions and regulatory bodies
Trends
Hip-hop diss records increasingly function as rollout mechanics for new music rather than standalone artistic statementsSurprise album drops with minimal promotion may indicate contractual fulfillment strategies rather than artistic confidenceLyricist-focused discourse is elevating lesser-known regional rappers into national conversations, challenging legacy hierarchiesMental health and addiction narratives in media are becoming entertainment spectacles, raising questions about consent and exploitationConspiracy theory adoption correlates with selective skepticism—believers accept extreme claims while rejecting systemic racism evidenceCelebrity endorsements of local/independent businesses (e.g., Marathon Burger) drive significant foot traffic and cultural legitimacyRetro-pastiche production in mainstream pop is being perceived as derivative rather than innovative, signaling listener fatigueSexual compatibility mismatches in relationships are being framed as identity/values conflicts rather than communication failures

Oh, my bad. Sorry, my bad. Sorry. Oh, are we rolling? Oh, Peach, are we rolling? We are rolling. We are back. Welcome to a new new episode of the new Rory and Maul podcast. I am Maul. I'm Rory. And we are back. We were trying to figure out what we were talking about on this episode and Baby D has, you know, she has control of it and her photo booth on her MacBook popped up. Baby D was giving thighs and pies. What was you doing over there, Baby D? We saw it. Who was that for? That was a little, you had a little photo you had like, it was like an art direction to that photo shoot and everything. Like, the bed was done. You don't even make your bed up like that. Like, you know you made the bed up for the photo shoot. Did you see how comfortable it was folded? Looked like he was making content. Yo, Baby D, what you doing over there? You got an OF we don't know about? No, I don't. Baby, they got a feet OF we don't know about for sure. I respect you. You got a foot OF we don't know about. You over there selling feet. You got nice feet, though. Thank you. But what you was doing over there in between these seats? I was just taking photos. You know, sometimes you like to take photos of yourself that just reminds you. Like, oh, you have a nice body. You look good. No, no, no, no. Okay, yes, you're right. Sometimes we do like to take photos. But them photos don't just live in the photo booth, though. Because that's the MacBook. Like, you put the MacBook on the bed. I know that photo will count down from three. I know how, yeah, like, that was a curated photo shoot. Yeah, and it was a carousel. It was like nine pictures up there, yo. So that means that that's the nine that made it off the editing floor. Yeah. So, like, how long was the photo shoot? How much studio time did you book? It wasn't that long. It was just I had gotten dressed for the Mariah the Scientist concert, and I just. Oh, that was from Mariah? That was what? The Zipass concert? Yeah. When was it? Saturday. Friday. Friday. Oh. Hmm, so this is what Baby D was doing on Friday. I see the hair. You looking like Jessica Rabbit. You got the Jessica Rabbit hair. It's glowing. Baby D, what's up with you? What is happening? All right, first of all, how was your weekend? My weekend was good. All right, cool. Now that we got that out of the way, how was the show? How was the show? The show was really good. You know me. You know I had to cry. I was so proud of her. I was so happy for her. What was the show, Radio City? Radio City. Shout out to Mariah Sanchis. Sold out. Shout out to Mariah Sanchis. That's incredible. Sold out show at Radio City Musical. That's big. And it sold out fairly quickly, too. The production was good. She's getting so much better. Like, her growth from her performances last year. You could tell the budget is bigger. You could tell she's putting more effort in. It was really good. And I like being in shows where Radio City isn't Barclays, right? And it isn't. And hopefully one day she gets to those places. But it feels so intimate. Like, everybody, you can hear everybody. You can hear Barclays already, no? uh as a guest yeah with she was lotto's guest okay okay but um you can hear everybody screaming every word to every song every word to every song like it was it was incredible i had a ball a lot of pretty women in there oh they were beautiful but the girl the girls were so cute they were all dressed up like they were they kind of like dressed up like mariah they had their cute little leather shorts on and their little funky boots and like they like their little toy soldier Is that what you gave him for the concert? I had, yes, the bodysuit that you saw. I had that, but I did put pants over it. Thank God. I thought you might have just gave him the trench with that on right there. Going backstage and opening the trench. You know what I'm saying? Looking like Apollonia. I thought that's what you gave him right there, but it's all good. So it was a good show. It was. Rory, shout out to Rory and Carly Hustle for surprising me. But Rory's so funny. Rory was calling me or whatever and I looked at him. Sometimes Rory called me and I knew he was like, with reason I looked at my location and I'm like, alright, they're around the corner man, what they want. Rory kept calling me and he texted me and was like, you want these Mariah the Scientist tickets or not? I called back immediately like, wait what's going on? That's how they do. That's how they do, Rory. As soon as they know they got a gift they call right back, don't they? I'm at brunch with Carly Hustle and her partner Busy and she brings up that she has these Mariah the Scientist tickets but she may not be able to make it and I was like I know somebody that's a diehard Mariah fan you got somebody in mind so I'm at lunch two three calls I'm like alright I mean I'll let you know Carly but she not answers like you know what let me text her so I say yo I got possible passes for you before they even said delivered and then the phone's not going to sit Carly says there's no way she just called you back when you texted her about the tickets I said yeah that's supposed to be my best friend and then did the bullshit yo I just woke up you put your voice on and everything because I was I was in and out of sleep so that text message woke you up no my phone was on D&D I didn't hear anything but I had just woke up and I looked at my phone and you know when you ended out of sleep I looked at my phone I'm like man what Rory because I knew that you were coming to Brooklyn so I thought you were calling me to hang out I didn't feel like hanging out if you were home and I saw you call me I would have called you back immediately but I knew you were in Brooklyn I'm like I don't feel like hanging out like I'm because you was like where you at where you at especially when you don't feel like hanging out I ignore those two where you at I think that's false history what you doing it was something like that it was either where you at or what you doing that's why I checked your location he thinks that's false history false history I said where you at do you want these Mariah's sign tickets or not it was where you at first it was where you at first within a minute. It's the same. Okay. All I saw was where you at in the missed calls. And I checked his location. I saw he was in Brooklyn. He was 15 minutes away. I'm like, I don't feel like hanging out. I'm exhausted. We had a long work week. Last week felt long for some reason. It was the same work week. I don't know why. It felt long. Just say you ain't feel like hanging out with Rory. No, it's not that. You ain't got to do the long work week thing. Just think I didn't feel like hanging out with Rory. I didn't want to hang out either. I was trying to get you some tickets. that's when it's really that's when he's trying to position this like I wasn't a lonely person running through the streets that's cat because after when we was about to hang up he was like yo I'm only like five minutes from your house I was like I was just dating you because I was with Reed he's like I'm about to come get you I was like ah don't do that no because Reed and I were already going to the city I was just fucking with you with that oh okay though you haven't like invited me to the house I would like to see it but you know this is up in the city no shit if we think that's what's going on in the crib shit like which time is brunch because I need to pull up If it's thighs and pies like that every Friday We in the house You hit her Friday Yes So what time did you start to shoot I was about to walk out the door I was literally about to walk out the door I told her at 3.07 is when I hit her about the tickets So she did have ample time to get a photo shoot Okay That was quick though That didn't take long A couple thigh shots I'm out the door I like that I will say, though, I do believe there's a world where Damaris would not want to hang out with me. I can accept that. But when I was jokingly like, yo, I'm right down the street. I'm like five minutes from you. She's like, don't come here. Do not come here. I was like, oh, I was joking, but my bad. Why? I was drained. I think it's because Tuesday I usually rock and sit in the house, and I didn't. I was running around Tuesday. Like the day we have off, I was running around Tuesday. And like now that we have different personalities on our show, which I love all of them, it was just Thursday was a lot it was a lot of talking it was a lot of people it was a lot I was just by Friday I was like I don't want to your social battery was drained my social battery was drained and then reason was in town I went out with him on Wednesday it was just it was too much people I was like I need to just be alone like in my house in silence I'm with you though I was extra exhausted this weekend for some reason thank god Miss Rachel dropped some new heat rock so I even threw that on and snuck in like a 30 minute nap. It felt like eight hours. I was very tired. I spent most of yesterday just sleeping. Yeah, I don't know why. I was really tired this weekend. Yesterday was my sleeping bed ride day. Really? Yeah, I was in the crib all day. Give me your bed ride. I'm a bed ride guy. But we are backsponsing about Boost Mobile Unlimited Talk. Text and data. Yes, did you do anything? Saturday, I went to see Scream 7. I went to the theater Saturday night. I caught the last show. I didn't even know it was coming out. My people said to me, let's go see Scream 7. I was like, didn't even know Scream was coming out. I'm always down to go to the movies, so I went to it. It was... I think 7 is a lot. Let me just say it. I didn't even know it was. I think I missed 6, 5, and 4. 7 is a lot, but... I think I saw a 3. I don't know, man. I wasn't... It had its moments. It had some moments that was kind of like, okay, they put a nice... They put a spin on it, But the spin was kind of cheesy I guess I don't know man That's not my type of scary Like film My scary film is you know The prototypical Put somebody in A house somewhere where it's like a lake house Or somewhere on vacation You know what I'm saying The guy that's the fucking local town I don't know Parks department Cleaner guy he kills everybody Like give me that But like the screen 7 Like the ghost face mask still Is it the same guy Refresh my memory I can't remember the last time I watched the screen No it's the same guy But like then there's you know how they do Like how they say oh The copycat killers Like people fall in love with like killers So now other people are Mocking him like trying to be him as well I'm about to say that That precinct should be on notice Yeah Heaven movies we haven't caught this fucking guy in this town And I think it is you know what I think it is I think we are so desensitized as just humans now. I think scary movies have to just be a little more... Just hopping out of the dark corner in the crib and standing there, that don't scare us no more. Raise taxes. Why can't the killer just raise taxes and raise the mortgage and then get fired. The guy got fired and it's like, oh shit, I'm going to eat. Oh shit, I'm going to eat. With Donald Trump and Cassato. Yeah, give us that. I don't know man I just think that 7 is a lot they could have stopped at like 4 you make a good point because we can really open our phone and actually watch people get murdered unfortunately in like real life so yeah I hear you scary movies are you have to have a real story that we absolutely cannot predict and I think that's gonna like give us more of a scare than scary movie 7 and ghost face is here and this that and third and you know I know I'm sick because like the only shit that scared me is shit I can't fight. Like nigga with a chainsaw, I can fight you. Like I got a chance. Even if I die trying, I got a chance. But like some supernatural shit. That's yeah. Like some shit I need a priest for. All right. Now I'm terrified. Yeah. Yeah. Because the like the real life type of scary movies are definitely like only target liberals because there's no way. The Second Amendment law should kick in At some point in these movies If there's a serial killer on the loose nobody has a gun He's walking at that pace For this long And no one thought Firearm No cops no nothing around This isn't real You can't do nothing without police pulling up It was cool I guess if you're a scary movie Part of that Hive where they have a whole lot of people watch every series. If you're one of those, I'm guessing you might have enjoyed it, but it was okay for me. It wasn't all of that. I saw on Twitter, I don't know if it was real or not, but there was a trailer for Scary Movie 7 or whatever one we're on at this point. And they were making fun of Scream in it again. Scary Movie 6. So they're releasing these in conjunction, it seems like now. That would be the smart play. Yeah. But yeah, I did see They start with the transgender jokes And everyone was upset about it I don't know the actual date But it has everyone from the original cast Another 50 plus year old woman Regina Hall Did I put her in The absolute section I'm sure you did Regina Hall, absolutely 50 plus, yeah, absolutely She looks amazing It was a lot of music going on this weekend. Where do we want to begin? Do we want to start with this TI and 50 thing? Do we want to start with disses? Get it out of the way? How much longer do we got on this though? Seriously Baby D. I thought the clock was on last Monday. You know what I, let me tell y'all let me tell you what I don't. Now they got Benzino wearing t-shirts Let me tell you what I don't like about this 50T I think because y'all came here or I don't know if y'all said it but I seen people online, 50 gotta respond 50 gotta respond. I wasn't worried about it but why like why did he have to respond and not only that this is another thing that i didn't like about this whole thing isn't t.i a comedian why he just couldn't keep it trolling keeping jokes because he's a rapper too yeah but 50 ain't put out a record time he posted a picture of his life like t.i just had a comedy special just had one he's he's a comedian like he's all the way a comedian now he's more of a funny guy than 50 at this point right he should do like pop-ups the way chapelle did and like maybe do a set about what about doing skits on instagram this 50 what do i do on a skit like my name's tip but here's another tip crimestoppers.com like something like that what about that like one of those skits i'm just saying i just think the rapping i just think and the fact that ti just put out a song he got a song with uh uh pharrell produced it right which is great and it's doing numbers no it's actually a very popular so I understand why T.I. it behooves the business I'm never mad at rappers rapping I'm not mad at that but it behooves the business to get it to a back and forth with 50 knowing that I have a new song produced by Pharrell available now on DSPs it all helps the brand and the King family it helps the family hustle right of course so we understand that I'm just saying how much longer do we have for this stuff? Because I get it. You know, Damani is in there. And you know Damani shit is only hitting when King put his pen to it. You know that. Other way, you mean King shit only hitting when Damani put his pen to it? Whichever one that put out a song, I'm going to always flip it. Damani just put out a joint, King put his pen to it. Is Damani Diggy and then King is JoJo? I think Damani is older. I know, but Diggy was a better rapper. No disrespect to JoJo, but he's more King in this situation. Okay. Yeah. Even though he's the older brother. How many kids does T.I. have? So T. They have... Family man. They have seven all together. They have seven all together. This is going to be a long battle. Yeah, it's going to be a long battle. Yeah, they have seven. Only two kids have released this truck. We got five more to go. Yeah, I'm just... Listen, and listen, I get it. Don't let Tiny get a sheet of paper. I get it. Listen, I get it. I can't get the girls together. I get it, but how much more time do we have for this stuff? I get it. I understand. Let's capitalize off the moment. Salute to the hustle. It's grand hustle. It's family hustle. I'm not mad at the hustle. I'm just saying how much longer do we have before we can move on from this? That's what I'm asking. I'm about to call you. Why are you calling us out? This is why they be saying y'all got New York riots. This is why. Even with everything that's going on, play the money's this play the money's this the money's this is fire bro the money we have this first of all i knew that yes i knew that damani was a good rapper right yes i want to make that he doesn't get that he doesn't get the you know not as many people know how good he is but this is now an opportunity everybody is seeing oh now like this nigga's nice like t i got this nigga like this is his seed yes it is this nigga is nice but now it's how long do we got for this like Y'all be asking for real rap all day long. Like, we're the real rappers. There's a lack of talent. There's a lack of talent. The talent comes. Now it's, how long do we have for this? I'm not mad if Damani puts out mute, but like, I'm just talking about with this whole T.I. and his family versus 50 thing. How much long do we have for this? And Damani is a great rapper and rapped really well on his Miss Jackson disc. But can I say that there's a lack of creativity? Because this is just some diet meet the grams bullshit. now every time somebody comes at somebody's mom no no no no no this is alright Demarish now you're playing semantic games you know for a fact this is just a diet meet the grams it's the exact same time how is this a diet meet the grams go listen to meet the grams and then go listen to Miss Jackson it's the same thing trying to do the psychological breakdown of your past and this and that like he's even whispering the way Kendrick did it's the same thing and also I'm the old head get off my long. I've already seen Jadakiss and Styles P smoked the Miss Jackson beat against 50. I don't need to hear it again. I don't. And Ghost already did that and it's one of the greatest distance of all time. Damani I think is more talented than just saying you know what? Meet the Grams happened. Let me just go do that. With 50's entire life that he's already told us about. I just wonder how much more time. That's hate. I'm going to call it I'm going to call you a hater first you're not as loud with it he's hating he's hating that's hate bro I didn't say I hated it how much time we got left for it what he's talking about is hate that's hate that's hate is it accurate hate no that's fine I can be a hater so you're telling me that Meet the Grams. I know Kendrick Lamar is the first, that's the first diss song that has ever existed. How he's approached everything about it. It's like when Bia did the Diet Like That beat a week after Like That came out. It's like, okay, it's a little too on the nose of what you're trying to do. You're just copying another. So is he copying Meet the Grams or is he copying Jada Kissing them? Because the beat was used by, like, that's an obvious split. That's an obvious diss. they just added the Ms. Jackson shit at the end yeah the sample was the hook the Ms. Jackson was the hook I'm not hating when somebody says are you happy with the way he's been holding your family name I need to know because I can't sleep at night thinking you died in vain yes you're a hater yes actually yes you're a hater you're definitely a hater bro you're a hater now we breaking down every word in a motherfucking dish I thought it was rap I thought we was dissecting the bars I'm a hater for laughing at Damani losing sleep Now I'm a hater because he lost sleep Thinking about it Sabrina died in vain He's tossing and turning Here's my thing I can't prove this And you can call me a hater But I can almost guarantee When everyone came in the studio Damani right before his space bar said Yo I got him with some Instagram shit And hit space bar I can almost guarantee he was in the group chat saying yo King did that I'm going to go with the meet the grams approach I guaranteed I'm not mad that meet the grams was definitely mentioned in this session 1000% somebody in that session I don't know if Damani said it the engineer said it somebody said you should go this way go meet the grams go meet the grams on him am I saying that there's not a similarity to the approach sure but you saying he's even whispering and do that's how damani raps but you would know that because you don't listen to damani but that's how damani raps but i i knew damani was good because i've heard the money out so that i so i know no matter whether i'm his biggest fan or not so i know that that's the way that he raps he didn't just start when you told him so he just started whispering like kindred that's how the nigga rat. I've heard him freestyle and he did not whisper. Okay, that's a freestyle. That's not him making it. At the end of the day, if you want, I thought you were going to come in here and call him a diet three stacks or a diet J. Cole. He's heard that his whole career. That's whatever. I've heard the J. Cole comparisons, but I actually thought that was a compliment. Yeah, for sure. Definitely. That's my favorite rapper. Of course, that's a compliment. But if you were to come with that, sure. But to say that he was like copying Kendrick with the whispering and the meet the gram shit, that's just the way he raps, bro. And I'm also not mad at flipping Miss Jackson just cause kiss and ghosted it, that's fine. You can continue to do that. I just, I don't know, man. It's not even the gramps. What do you want from me? Listen, man, he rapped. It's great. He broke down 50's whole psyche and now I look at 50 way different. Oh my God, yo. Yo, I just like seeing people. He's a hater, baby. He's a fucking hater. That shit is crazy. And if I be sitting here trying to defend you on when people say y'all have a new I have a New York bias. I have 50 cent bias. What do you want from me? I'm from New York. I mean, I'm going to have a bias. I'm from New York. I have a 50 cent bias. Yes. Cool. Say that then. Preface that before you start hating. Preface that. Preface with that. I'm just happy somebody else is being called a hater. That's what I'm saying. They call me a hater every day. I'm like, I don't care about none of these niggas enough to hate on them. But whatever. Go ahead. Call him a hater again, baby D. Hating ass. Because had he been dissing somebody other than your fave, you would have been on it. This is the greatest thing. We've been waiting for real hip-hop to come back and it's back. You guys aren't excited. It's back. No, no, no. I don't know if anybody would say that about Damani. Roy won. Roy won. Roy won. Roy won. Gash it up like that. I don't know. For sure. I think real hip-hop is back. He's 87 unleaded for sure. But I'm just saying like I don't think he would say that about Damani. But this is where she's wrong when she said if he was dissing anyone else but your fave, you would love that. I just said one of the greatest diss records of all time is Kiss and Ghost on the Miss Jackson beat against 50 Cent. Some of my favorite disses of all time are against 50 Cent. Checkmate is the greatest gift ever So your fave fave is just in your fave Of course you're going to pick like duh Game 300 bars and running Should be in the fucking museum Another one of your faves But he's not from New York He's still one of your faves It's okay you have biases that's what we all do I just want to know how much time we got I love Everyone disrespect I don't know the OMG girls might come for that ass next Who knows Who knows I think it's cute. I wish 50 like cared about rapping because the amount of flips you could do with a skate is fucking unbelievable. Like can someone, I wish Banks and him were still friends. Can somebody step in? No. I don't think anybody needs to step in on this. I think it's like, okay cool. We heard from T.I. We heard from King. We heard from Damani. Dope. Got that shit off. Cool. I think that's cool. I think a family jump in like one rapper. I think that's cute. Listen, man. Listen, I respect it. I get it. I'm just saying like T.I.'s a comedian too though. It could have just been jokes. You know what I mean? If T.I. went and made a fucking sketch on IG like you just said, you niggas would be clowning him from here to fucking... It's on brand. He's a comedian now. Why not? The amount of ammo. 50 could really just wrap the... It's crazy another man brought your family together. There's so much ammo here. You write it in. I mean, I'll DM it to him. Let me read the DM you sent. No, no context. It would just be bars. I don't care if you don't believe me. I think Damani's this is good. Okay. I do. I really enjoy it. It's fine. You don't got to clean it up. We was off camera. It's fine. How do you feel about side highs? Are we getting right to that? We in this world. Oh, shit. Oh, I didn't know we was going right there, baby. We in this world. Let's just stay on distance. All right, well. Okay, well, I believe Monty is a great rapper. But when a Bentley pulls up next to a Chrysler. Oh, yeah. These bars. Woo. It's a little. I'm not talking about the J. Absolutely. Did you listen to the whole song? Because the song is not a J. Cole Is there a J. Cole slight in it? For sure But it's also 7 minutes of the greatest fucking rapping I've heard in quite some time It's no Damani On Miss Jackson See it's Damani Saha didn't lose sleep You got Roof Chris You got different steakhouses But then there's this The upper echelon of the steakhouses This is what Saha does He's a wordsmith He's a ball technician Like Saha is one of the best rappers That we've ever had like by far And I think that on this Is it Lost Control? On this Lost Control record He displayed that He's one of the best rappers It's not a lot of The only thing My only knock on Saha is That's my nigga But my only knock on Saha is that he doesn't have The material That a lot of these other people That we think are the best MCs and the best rappers have He doesn't His output is not as high As a lot of these other artists But as far as just rapping There's not a lot of rappers that can rap so high I hear you with the output But No Dope on Sundays is to me Like a classic album But that was what, two years ago? Yeah I mean it appears that he is rolling something out Because we got no competition 12 days ago Then we get Lost Control And it feels like these are more Lucy's Where you're rapping through But this seems to be somewhat of a rollout. So he had tweeted the I grew up in an era where you're a lyricist or from the streets, not a bunch of college kids, whatever. We talked about that before. Then on the 26th, he said, I wasn't talking about J. Cole. Saha, you my mans, but you definitely were. I mean, if he said he wasn't, if he said he wasn't, you are. But it's okay. If he said he wasn't, we got to take that. But what's wrong if he was? no there's nothing wrong but that's what I'm saying that's why if he's saying he wasn't then he wasn't because obviously he has no problem going at Cole obviously so that's what I'm saying if he said he wasn't I believe him because then he gives us lost control so from that tweet whenever it was then on the 26th he said I wasn't talking about J. Cole but since y'all reminded me and then put a snippet out with this which outside of it being an amazing display of rapping He did say he needed to get him back For the false prophets record Which for those that don't know Cole was dissing Cole was explaining where he felt Kanye West Was at the time in the false prophets record And in that record He described that maybe the people around him are too scared To bring up that you've fallen off And you whack And I can see Sighi taking offense to that Like you're trying to make me out to be some yes man This and that But Sighi's around Especially around that time At this point No one's going to tell him Y'all are a bunch of yes men around him It's what someone could take from what Cole said How long ago was that? Bruh I'm looking it up right now That was a while ago I was holding that in He was like okay I'm not going to forget that I heard you To me that's really where that tweet 2016 10 years ago Okay So let me ask you guys this Is there two six Two six six is why He was waiting And two six on the 26th February 2 26th Who's the two six God now I think his name is Saha the Prince Listen this is some high level rap baby D This is high level bars This is high level bars This is high level Yo you I ain't gonna say it yet But it sounds like, it feels like you want to hate me. I'm not going to call you a hate me. No, you can never hate outside being a good rapper. Okay, all right, all right. We never do that. It was high-level bars throughout the record. I think they were just slight little jabs at cold. That was a spa session. He said it then, this is just rap. It's just a little spa session. You were scared of our good brother in that Grand National. Why? Should have knew if you and that little Honda was going to have to collide. All right, my question to the room. High level for sure. No, I said that was just a little. All right, now you're here. See, that's the tape. Now you put up to the ATM. You put that cash out the ATM. Now, my question to y'all, because y'all are like super J. Cole fans, right? Does J. Cole have to respond? It was too light. He doesn't have to because it was too light. Do I want him to? Yes. Baby D? I have said a million times When Freddie Gibbs You're about to call him Spready Gibbs No I don't Baby we're not doing that You're about to call him Spready Gibbs When Freddie Gibbs was chewing at Cole I have already said Cole cannot respond To anybody it is a lose lose Situation that he has handicapped Himself he can't respond to anybody so no I don't Want him to respond Wait but when I said that y'all killed me About Cole can't respond I didn't kill you for that I agree with you nah we gotta roll the tape back I don't know if you agree with that I have been saying that forever you've never agreed with me on nothing J. Cole you've never agreed with me on nothing except that his name is your name he can't respond like you can't respond it's a lose lose situation you can do whatever you want but I don't want to have to hear people talk about it so please don't it's a lose lose situation J. Cole don't respond to nobody for the rest of his career that's how I feel I've said that though I've said that I said that and y'all kill me for that No you said his career was over And I laughed y'all through I said career suicide meaning like That when somebody when the MC challenges He can because you can pick and choose And that look like you picking and choosing Exactly I don remember that being your sentiment But if you feel like that I respecting it I respecting it Yes, I mean, Cole did reply to some Fayetteville rappers on the Molo. Funny as fuck. But I feel like that was hometown shit. Like, that's hometown shit. That's like personal shit. That's like arguing with somebody on Facebook you went to high school with. But at the same time, no one really gave him shit for that. I was actually kind of shocked that the world wasn't like okay you do a full diss record to them but not a lot of people don't even know that that's what he's doing okay yeah because that was just that was direct to specific rappers in Fayetteville like it wasn't really something to hide it was a diss record wait so J.Code does not have to respond he said tell St. John the bars just ain't that jaw drop he was talking about St. John no he wasn't he was talking about the guy that went to St. John like I'm just you forgot I still owe you for false profits. I rap punchlines as hard as Bernard Hopkins. There ain't no yes man over here. My dog, stop it. I mean, these are direct responses. I wouldn't say they're shots, per se. Tell St. John that them raps just ain't that jaw-dropping? That's challenging the MC's pen. I agree. What are we talking about? You want him to disrespect like Cole J. Cole a bitch or something like that? He ain't going to do that. He's just like, yo, your balls ain't that dope. As an MC, you were supposed to be like, wait, who are you talking about? Hold on, all right. that's just rap. Like you said at the end of the record it's just rap. It ain't personal it ain't beef, it ain't none of that it's just bars. But even if he comes and bars side high to the gods even if he was to do that in the world he was to come and bars side high, none of y'all will respect it anyway so what is that? Who wouldn't respect it? I was the one that said 50 seconds to wrap back to T.I. and now Damani who's definitely J. Cole's nephew but what are you losing sleep to? What are you basing this off of baby? Why are you saying we wouldn't respect it? Because y'all gonna say You just said it. Y'all going to say he's picking and choosing. I'm going to say that regardless, but I'm not going to say if his boss is dope, you think I'm going to say his boss ain't dope? No, that's not what I'm saying. The conversation will always go back to who he didn't respond to or who he had. We know that. Like, going into it, we know that. We know, like, yo, bro, because now anybody responding to you is picking and choosing. You wouldn't respond to this dude, but you respond to that dude. Cool. But we're not going to sit here and be like, the boss is whack just because he's picking and choosing. if you're going in and fire Saha up we're going to be like yo Cole and Craig Saha alright it's on you it's just rap and it's not personal I don't think Saha hates J. Cole that has beef with him it's just personal like yo I just don't think you that dope like you were saying you were scared of our good brother in that Grand National you should have known that Honda was going to have to collide like sooner or later you're going to have to step in front of another MC as MC's you're going to have to that's what you got to do Okay, so what do y'all think Cy High is doing this for? Because I think we can all agree as talented as Cy High is, he knows, because he's so talented, he knows talent, he knows that J. Cole is not, the bars ain't all that. Like, you, like, you... Maybe he feel like it's not. I'm just saying, when you're an MC, you look at other MCs differently. You look at their bars differently. You look at their entendres and all that, their ability to write differently as a writer. Cy High is a writer. He writes for celebrates for other rappers, other artists. So he probably looking at Cole like his bars ain't that layered. His bars ain't that cold. He might really feel like that. There's so many other niggas who are less talented than J. Cole that he can say that about, but he didn't disagree. Yeah, but you gotta shoot at the best. Who they say is the best? You go to somebody parking the ballplay, baby, yo, who they say the best over here? Yo, come on. Get on the court. Get your five. I got my five. That's how I go. You don't want to go at the nigga who they like, yo, he trash. Let me play him. He ain't gonna play the trash, nigga. Who y'all say is the best? Alright come on I need to see who y'all best is Show me y'all king I want smoke on him Let me see who he at I just think it's good For the art of hip hop For the art of rap For the best MCs Like I said it's not beef I don't have a beef with Cole He's just like alright man You think you one of those ones I don't think your bars are that hard Let's see I respect it Again, I don't think Cole will respond. I think he should. I think he should respond. I don't think he's going to respond, though. You don't feel like Sahad believes what he rapped there? About J. Cole? I'm asking him. I think Sahad respects Cole's pen to the point that he said his name. You're right. He could diss a whole bunch of other people, but Sahad's not going to diss a bunch of rappers that are trash. It's rappers that's not trash that he didn't diss. Well, they didn't call him a guest man. I bring this up even with the I stand he didn't even diss him he didn't even diss him he said people around Kanye need to tell him that he falling off he could be talking about he could have been talking about Kim Kardashian like but you took that personally now you took that personally because you shot at Cole in your tweet everybody acknowledged it and now you got songs coming out and now it's well yeah since y'all brought up Cole here's a couple bars to us if I'm writing somebody's music at that exact time and you say your shit is not what it used to be. It's falling off. It's trash. And I'm the one writing this in my rapper brain. I'm going to be like, yo, what the fuck? Well, you had 10 years. Why do you wait until so many people have lost respect for me because I bowed out of a diss battle and I'm a sitting duck? Why do you wait until then? Why do you wait 10 years? We don't view him that way, but clearly you view J. Cole as that. Oh, my God. The thing is this. J. Cole just put our project out and then Saha tweeted something about, you know. About Cole. Well he said it wasn't about but this is why I respect What I said it wasn't about him because he had No problem then getting in the booth and going at Cold I wasn't talking about him But if y'all feel like I'm talking about him Now I'm talking about him You tweeted that immediately after the release of the motherfucking Fall off you knew that people would assume It was about Cold It was all All of that was on purpose All of that was on purpose So you think it's cloud chasing I don't like cloud chasing you know what I mean You disagree on that I think it's marketing You think it's performative? I think it's marketing. You think it's marketing? I think it's marketing. Can we take that away with rapping? With marketing? No, that anyone that just raps at other rappers is clout chasing. Nah, we gotta keep that there. Because some niggas are clout chasing. No, we gotta keep that there. We're not getting rid of that. Some of these niggas are clout chasing. The bridge is over is clout chasing? I don't understand why now this new generation is allowed to call an art form that has been this way since inception is clout chasing if another rapper raps at another rapper. If you are on the internet doing that shit, you're clout chasing. No, no, no. It's the timing of it, though. So? It's the timing of it. I think the timing of it is when it becomes clout chasing. And if you're not... I think if you're not on a certain level, I think you can't be... You got to be on a certain level to go at certain people. I believe that. You got to be at a certain level, a certain skill level. You got to be at a certain art level. You got to be at a certain music-making level. But that's the only people I'm talking about I'm not talking about Personalities that become rappers I'm talking about rappers But even in that To me this is valid only because Like you said what Cole said On false prophets Now no matter if Saha waited 10 years in the night to respond It don't matter Cole said something on false prophet years ago That Saha took some type of slight to Felt a little way about And was like Nah I ain't like that I still don't think I forgot about that. Waiting 10 years is crazy. Laying on a nigga for 10 years is wild. I heard what you said in 2016, fam. In 2026, I'm on your ass. That's crazy to me, but we've seen the battle happen 20 years later. Them bars would have never came out. You could have felt however you felt. If the battle never happened, these bars would not come out, bro. I'm not going to say that about something about that. I'm not saying that about something about that. If the fall off didn't come out, then I'm with you. But I don't know if the battle didn't happen. Cole could have been a victor in the battle and I still think Saha would have done it. If the battle never happened I still think Saha does this because the fall off came out. Okay. Wait 10 years. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Multiple Cole albums have come out in the past. But Saha wasn't rolling out at the time. And this is no I don't want anybody to take this as any diss to Saha. How long did Cole wait to reply to all the two Fayetteville guys? 20 years? No, I'm not even joking. It was at least 15 years. It's a Fayetteville-based album. The album is about Fayetteville. It's dedicated to his hometown. That's why it started the way that it started. Okay, this is dedicated to rapping and don't forget that I still owe you from false profits. Either way, I feel like Cole has to respond though. I feel like he should respond. Let me not say have to. He should respond. I feel like J. Cole should respond. But we'll have to see if he does indeed jump in the ring with Saha. That would be a dope back and forth, though. I will say that. To see them two go at it, fire. I would treat it like a completely different thing. I would actually fault Saha if he just focused on Cole dropping out of the battle. To me, yeah, of course, get bars off on that. But if that's your focus, I don't want to hear that. Find a new angle. This would be a completely separate thing if Cole replies. I would like to say that. But either way, I don't know. It looks like Saha is in the best shape he's ever been in between no competition. Yeah, it looks like he has. These are coming out. So we look forward to it. He's in shape shape. Hell yeah. Like, I can't wait for the Saha album. No, Warrior Mal. Mal, what can you do with $600? Don't answer that because I know it was some devious thoughts.

Wouldn't you know it, Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. The story of the sport's most consequential driver's strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricciardo's illustrious F1 career a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better.

Alright, we got some new music over the weekend. And of course, I feel like we get new music every weekend. I don't feel like it's one weekend where we don't get new rap, new R&B. It's too much shit, man. It's too much shit. Is there? We need to take like a month off when nobody can put out music. I don't like that. Why? I think it gives you a chance to kind of hear everything that came out, shit you might have missed. Because Compute Boys came out with a new album. Shout out to Lil Yachty and the crew. Shout out to my guy, Lil Boat. No, I mean, it was tough to get to any music this weekend because I couldn't get off the Yachty freestyle. I just had that on repeat. Now Lil Yachty was on Bootleg Kev And he was talking about how He heard Sugar Hill Gang And that shit was weak as hell And we talked about that Can't disrespect the foundation Because so much was built on the foundation And on the backs of what the Sugar Hill Gang did And now hip hop being what it is today And rap being as global as it is You can't say that Yachty And then give us Your rendition of the LA Leakers freestyle. It just was like... It wasn't a rendition. He was on there. Was he, though? Was that the Yachty we know and love? It was a clone? I'm just saying, was it, though? That's all I'm saying. We can't get that on bootleg cab of Sugar Hill Gang being weak as hell and then get that Leakers freestyle. You're supposed to go on Leakers and do what nobody has ever done. If you're going to say that the Sugar Hill game was weak as hell. That's all I'm saying. Where does that rank against him? You lost for words, Roy. Are you okay? Are you lost for words? I'm trying to be, because I was a hater this whole time, I'm trying to find a way, because they're going to think I'm just hating on Atlanta. It's like when someone loses in a boxing match. Yo, they got in the ring. Yeah, that's half the battle, right? Taking the fight? Yo, he went to leakers. I want to say that existed. He showed up. And went in front of the microphone. What happened after that? come on that's your man that's my guy that's my guy i fuck with yaddy as my name yeah um why why did he go on la leaguers yeah i mean it's a rollout for the album conky boys here's my thing i think yaddy is actually a great marketer and i think there was some calculation to what he did with the rappers light thing he knows how to ruffle the feathers of the get off my lawn golden age hip crowd. Why he didn't take that opportunity to go on Leakers and rap over the Rappers Delight beat is beyond me, because that would have been... I would have listened to the Concrete Boys album had he done that. I'd have been like, you know what, Yachty? I don't think you're good at rapping, but boy, is that amazing and hilarious. Because that was one of like... Where is that rank against O'Malley's freestyle on Sway? We're not. See, don't... I want no issues with nobody. No, no, no, but don't do that, though. Don't compare Yachty's leakers To O'Melly's freestown Don't do that It's different I respect O'Melly for actually freestown Nobody does that So that's why I'm actually saying it was better than Yachty's I'm not mad at that Lil Yachty rapping over the Sugar Hill Gang I thought that When I saw the leaker shit I was like He must have picked that beat He might need to make that a record He might need to make that a song Take that Sugar Hill beat and make a record For sure Because I'm not mad at that Yachty is that type of artist where He takes sounds and things that You normally wouldn't see him on And actually does a great job of Doing that so I'm not mad at that That's a good take I didn't listen to the Concrete Boys Album It's Us Volume 2 and again I don't think Yachty's looking for people Like me to like his music I'm gonna listen to it though I just didn't listen to it this weekend I'm probably not going to But I mean I'm sure it's for somebody It's not for you For Us Bayou It's not No Okay Did you listen to It's Us Volume 1 Because I actually did listen to that I listened to that one I listened to the last one I didn't listen to this latest one It's just not my pocket Okay that's fair There's nothing wrong with that I thought about clicking it Because Caribou's gone and like, did you want to hear what they did without boo? We hear what they did without boo? Yeah. But I also think she's trash. Don't do that, man. Come on, man. All right. Can I say that and it not be hate? Yep. Kenny, because when I do it, it's hate. I don't do it. When I do it, it's hate. I'm just saying, whenever I say somebody's trash or something is trash or a song is trash or I didn't like that, they call me a fucking hater. I think Yachty is talented in his own right. I hope Yachty sells 10 million records. I hope Caribou sells 10 million records. I just don't care. You still ask me. He had the hate team in Wichita. Give me your pen. I got on the radar. Give me your pen, baby. On the radar shit that she did, I know it's for somebody. People liked it. It's just not for you. And then when they exposed it, or Yachty exposed it, he wrote it. And I was like, why would you want to take credit for that? And you should have just let her have that one. Yachty did this and Terrible was with the group and then she was gone and then we saw her and then Yachty's like yo I wrote your verse and then I was like wait somebody wrote that? You wrote that down on your notes? Yeah. I thought she was just talking at the moment. Oh man. But yes for the people that do fuck with that style of music I promise you this is not a shout out to the Concrete Boys. I'm probably not going to listen to it but I did listen to the Foggy Raw album, which did ironically have Carapoo on it. For real? Yes. Did she do her thing or was the song dope? Shout out to Foggy. The song was so good you couldn't fail. I know what that means. She couldn't do bad on the song. The song was that good. Her verse still was not for me. Yeah, I get it. The song was good. Listen, that Foggy album is really, really good. Shout out to our guy Foggy Raw with no due respect. Out now, your DSP. I went to the listening event too in Europe Yeah I was out of town I was in Virginia that weekend Yeah When he had to listen but you know we've been watching Foggy for a long time supporting him and for him to be able to put his project out finally was dope to see shout out to Foggy with no due respect Maybe we can table this conversation for another time but I think it's safe to say that the DMV does have a sound now For a long time that was always the thing because you know while he was the one of those always had a sound though outside of gogo is what i'm saying like because when wally hit rightfully so a lot of his sonics were gogo based okay because i mean he grew up in the dmv yeah but i feel like they have a sound a set like from what gold link did what brent has done like the dmv has had so many amazing artists In the last 15 years I can hear the DMV all over This Fabio It still sounds like the DMV Even when he's experimenting The song where he got out with Larry June was dope I did hear that record I didn't hear the whole album yet but That song with Larry was dope And I mean just the African influence That the DMV has Is all over his stuff Gold link stuff It's a really really good project I'm going to check that out tonight That's going to be my music My soundtrack for the night My soundtrack for the night Speaking of DMV, Damaris still is not listening to Brent album Which is pissed me off You just made that up All you do is walk around and make shit up Christopher Columbus Did he not Discover the country that had people at it already? Of course he did It was in our books, you didn't read that? 1492? I listened to the Brent album What I did want to come in here and say is that after listening to it a couple more times, I understand the appeal. And what I also realize is Brent makes R&B for, I don't want to say, because he has so many female fans, but I understand why men like this project so much. I get it. All right, baby. But I never said it was bad. I never said it was bad. I never said it wasn't for me, and I still stand on that. But when I was cleaning the crib, it was good. See what happens when you take thigh pictures? You start to hear Brent a little clearer, don't you? Yeah, but I'm as a person You gotta throw Brent behind some of those photos Oh man As a person who cares about lyrics more than music This is why this album is not for me But I do like The music on the album is very, very good This album is incredible, Baby D I'm just happy that you You're not really listening for the things that I'm listening for What you listening for, Baby D? Because we might be listening for the same shit I need some shit that's gonna touch my soul Shit that touch y'all soul don't touch my soul You haven't found love in all the wrong faces You got some faces That's still surface level Just like losing sleep over It's very surface Men's love That's why y'all like oh my god he's speaking to me No he's not I never listened to Brent said he's speaking for me Never have I once said Any of these niggas is speaking for me I just said the album was fire I'm a grown man I didn't say Brent is speaking for me I just said the album He ain't speaking to me either I just said the music, the album was fine I think the album is incredible The music on the album is really good Incredible, incredible, shout out to Brent, another DMV legend For sure Alright, we're gonna get to The elephant in the room Oh shit The elephant in the room The quietest Bruno Mars Release of all time happened Did you guys know that Bruno Mars dropped an album? I did not know I did not know that I did not know that until I came to the studio today And you asked me if I heard Bruno's album And I was like I didn't even know you put the album up No no don't do that Don't take a huff and a puff Did you listen to the album Twice All the way through I know it's a short album I listened to it at a red light Don't see He's still at the hate team Why are you still pumping What's going on with him? I'm hating on traffic laws in New York. It takes 30 minutes to get through a red light. That is true. All right, so you go, because y'all know how I feel about Bruno. So I didn't hear this project yet. Actually, I'm lying. Rory played some of it. I was about to say, I'm the liar now? Rory played some of it while we came in earlier. I put Cha Cha Cha on the group chat. What you mean? Shit's starting to fire to me. See, this is what he was playing. Shit's starting to fire. I haven't listened to the whole album of what he was playing. Shit's starting to fire to me. I know your niggas be confused that you fuck. How you go from Brent like you don't understand to nah, this shit was fire. Cha Cha was fire. I'm not talking about Cha Cha. I said what I've heard in the office that Rory had played was fire. I didn't hear everything though. Just think about the songs that I've heard. Alright, cool. On the hook of Cha Cha Cha he says she working that back. I don't know how to act. Slow motion for me. Slow motion for me. Shit. You know, we got that. But not over that, though. Not over the cha-cha music. Not that music, baby. You might not be the target audience. Oh, I'm definitely not the target audience. Like, I mean, Bruno is not targeting me as his audience at all. Now, I will say, no matter, and I'll get back to work. No matter how we feel about Bruno, he's one of the most amazing vocalists we have. You took my only positive thing I was going to say. Oh, shit, sorry. Vocally, a lot of dudes can't stand next to Bruno. Bruno's vocals are incredible The music is incredible And I'm going to pause there And I'm going to let Rory go And then I'm going to pick up all my thoughts Because I've been sitting at the Hate TM all day I was trying to find something positive This album, Bruno Mars The Romantic Did prove and remind me That Bruno should be brought up In these vocalist conversations Bruno's vocals are absolutely Fucking incredible His songs just stink his songs on this on this album we still spinning that baby D we still banging that shit I like Why You Want to Fight I like On My Soul and I like Nothing Left and after that there's nothing left so that's 3 out of 9 I guess I'm confused when was the last solo Bruno Mars album So 2016 it would be 24 Karat Magic, one of my favorite albums all the time Not here to argue Magic was a great album Great album 10 years it took to give us This 32 minutes that I think Bruno Mars Could make in a weekend He might have made it in a weekend He did give us a great album with Anderson Was it 2 years ago? 3 years ago I was at Blue Note speaking with people That work on this album and they were leaving Blue Note That night so they could go continue to work on the Bruno Mars Might be a different project Maybe it was the Anderson project No that had already come up Oh okay My bad Bruno I tried to help you out It could be anything I think the superstar It could be anything I won't be at the ATM I will be very kind in everything I'm saying I think we're officially at the Bruno Mars legacy act phase of his career, which is fine, which is totally fine. He's a legend in his own right. He has amazing hit records. I even said my bucket list. I want to see Bruno live. I think it would be incredible. Ten years for this 32 minute project of shit that I really think Bruno Mars could make in his fucking sleep because he is extremely talented is a waste of everyone's time. to the point that no one knew it came out because I don't think they cared that anyone knew it came out I definitely didn't know this album came out when have we known Bruno not to do an extravagant roll out he's one of the biggest pop stars we have period of this generation you just quietly put out a mixtape after 10 years and it's like redundant cha cha cha bullshit there's still signs of the Bruno we love on here. Like I said, why you want to fight is fucking incredible. Nothing left is beautiful. All my soul is a bop. I'm going to mop my floors this week to that record. But this is I don't even think I don't even know if Bruno's proud of this. You don't say you don't know if Bruno's proud of that. He put it out. Quietly. Is he trying to get out of a deal? I don't know, but let me say this. Off of the music that you played and that I heard from now because I don't think we got through the whole thing. Might have got to about five or six tracks. Bruno is talented, and we know that. Bruno's an incredible artist. We know that. Bruno, it's just the music, it always sounds like a rendition of something. It sounds like something that we already got. It sounds like something we already heard. Like, Bruno Mars sound like, you know when you watch those movies that are, like, in the future, and then they have, like, moments where they're like, oh, remember when this came out? 50 years ago and they play a song and it's like, oh yeah, that was that shit. Bruno sounds like that every album. It sounds like a blast from the past. Every time Black Mirror goes back in time, it's that song. Remember Demolition Man? When they played old songs and they was like, oh, this should be the bop. That's what Bruno Mars was. It's good, but it's like... I feel like we heard this already, though. We heard this rendition. You don't think anything is innovative? It's not. innovative, it's not it's just like everything feels like a cover with a little, you know, like a moment on it like she working that back, it's like he threw that in there to try to get us like, okay, that's our shit right but it's like, yeah, but that ain't not next to the cowbell that don't it don't land like that, it's like but again, vocally Bruno Mars is incredible incredible vocalist, incredible performer incredible entertainer It's just the music just doesn't fit the field. It don't feel like something that I want to keep going back to because it's like. I don't believe this is you. I believe this is something that you like or you, you, you, you, you know, grew up liking and you're trying to make your version of that. And I just don't know if it connects to me. I'm just speaking about to me. It doesn't connect. But vocally, as an entertainer, as an artist, Bruno is incredible. There's nothing negative to say in those regards Just the music It just doesn't I don't know, I can't really connect to the music I know it's going to be hard I haven't run to the Bruno album Because as you guys know I'm a huge Bruno fan And I know that I'm going to be disappointed by the album But no matter how good the album was I was always going to be disappointed by the album Because 24 Karat Magic Is the perfect album to me So I don't think that he can do better than that I don't think most people can do better than that But I also felt the same way about Cardi B's album, her second album as well. It's like, it's going to be very hard for you to compete with that first one. So, you'll always be disappointed no matter what, no matter how good the second album is. Because the bar is already... Because the bar is so fucking high. It's like when Michael made Thriller, it was like, where is he going to go from there? Mm-hmm. But it wouldn't be a 32-minute project 10 years later. I'm looking now. Most artists, for the most part, sign five album deals. If you include Which was an Atlantic release With Anderson .Paak This would get him to five He announced the tour So I'm doing my Amara Aha thing There's no way Some of my favorite producers and writers ever That put this together For over three years Landed on those records This is a way to get out of a contract Okay This is a way to get out of a fucking contract and, and, and ooh, I'm figuring this out all in real time. In real time. By the way, guys, this is, I'm full of shit, so don't take anything I'm saying that serious. This is all legend in my brain at the time. Okay, the last Meek album. Was that Expensive Pain? Yes. Which we critiqued very much, and Meek was very upset on how Atlantic went about promoting that album. It was I agree with Meek probably one of the most underpromoted Meek Mill albums we ever seen He had a record on there as well It wasn like he was cold He said Atlantic when they found out he was leaving decided why the fuck would I promote something if you not going to be here anymore Now, I see this as the most under-promoted Bruno Mars fucking album. Anything, when Bruno sneezes, it's promoted more than this. I think there's a chance, maybe, he's done with Atlantic and wanted to get the fuck out of there. here's nine songs past 32 minutes past the seven record thing I need to do from an EP to an album and I'm out of here because I can't see Bruno Mars following up 24K Magic 10 years later with this not with the guys he worked with I just I don't see it that's fair it wasn't even like you had one single you did the video it just felt like you're trying to get out of a deal and Atlantic has already been accused of not promoting artists on their last project, which they're not the only label that does that. Once your deal is done, why the fuck would I promote your shit? That's a fair assessment. We don't know if it's true or false, but I think that that's a pretty fair assessment. And I must love podcasting because I'm insulting writers and producers that I've worked with. I'm serious. I hope to God they don't see this. It's nothing wrong with just being honest about something that you can hear. I don't feel like they love this. I don't know that. But you just feel like they did. There's no way they loved it. I can hear great moments in it, but this really feels like I'm trying to get off my label. Yeah. It really feels that way. I'm not mad at that. I just can't connect to the music. I don't know. Again, vocally, Bruno sounds incredible. Just listening to the five, six songs that I heard on this album so far, vocally, There's not many artists that can stand next to Bruno He's incredible vocally Just the music for me, it doesn't land Yeah Over the weekend as well Stevie Wonder went to Marathon Burger For their opening In Long Beach, what I thought was the coolest Fucking thing ever Yeah, that was fire, seeing Stevie Wonder At Marathon Burger And all you guys that were saying J. Cole was being performative Was Stevie being performative too? Nah, Stevie was hungry Stevie was sitting down. Now, it would have been before if Stevie went back there and started flipping some burgers. Then I would have been like, all right, hold on. I would have been like, all right, Stevie. I had to cut the cameras. How are you back there flipping burgers? But no, it wasn't before. Stevie was at Nipsey's. He went to go support obviously the family and Marathon Burgers. So shout out to Stevie Wonder. Yeah, and congrats to Black Sam and the entire estate of Nipsey Hussle. I hope to God we see more marathon burgers Everywhere Can we get one in New York Time Square I heard that rumor I wasn't sure if it was True or not Alright Black Sam and me and Rory coming to flip some burgers Everybody else flipping burgers I would have so much fun doing that Yeah but then you'll try to tell Black Sam how to run his Operation you'll start doing some more For sure Like you should go square corners on a burger not round Like you start telling Sam shit like that Well they're smash burgers more Okay, so I'm perfect. I'm telling you, if you listen to me, it sounds crazy, but add just a pinch of salt to this sauce. No, I would say, why are you seasoning these so much? This season is going to give everyone high blood pressure. They're so spicy. Shout out to Marathon Burger, though, man. Love to see them. They just opened up that location in Long Beach, so that was dope. Have you ever tried it? I've never had Marathon Burger. I haven't had Marathon Burger yet. Every time we've been in L.A., we haven't had enough time to get over there. And the lines are also like The last time we was at it was BET weekend So you can imagine It was like an event every time at Marathon Burger I think Head had told me You want to make a call? They'll get you right I said when I got to do that to just go to a burger spot I'm cool I'm going back to my hotel Even when it's not BET weekend The lines which I'm happy about Are around the corner You can't just pull up to Marathon Burger and grab a burger real quick Yeah that's dope though I mean, but In-N-Out is the same way. I've never gone to go to In-N-Out. In-N-Out is trash. I hear Marathon Burger's great. You don't like In-N-Out? They're going to kill you for that. Oh, are they? Let me look. This camera, Peach? In-N-Out is fucking garbage juice. Yeah. Now we can move on. He's at the ATM. I love it. What do you got today? I love it. I love it. They call me a hater every day. I love the fact that I have a neighbor now. Welcome to the block. A hater neighbor. You my hater neighbor. Yeah, come on, hater neighbor. You know it's a matter of time until I gentrified the hater. Come on, man. You got to move in and gentrify the haterhood. Yeah, no. It's really probably like the worst burger place on fucking earth. Yo, the things on this list are fucking frying me. What? Like the way you type things out, Buju Banton's son said he almost turned gay, but then he remembered Boom Bye Bye and went to church the next day. Like typing that out is fucking hilarious. Is that even real? That's real. Okay. Well, shout out to Buju's son. He ain't gay no more. I'm delivered. I ain't gay no more. He don't like men's no more. Wait, was that a real thing though? Yes. He said he went to church? Yeah. Or did he say he heard Boom Bye Bye? Well no, he remembered Boom Bye Bye and realized I'm not gay and then went to church the next day to remind himself again. Oh, okay. They got that shit taken down everywhere. Everything. Me nearly turned fish. Sorry, that was Me nearly turned fish? I didn't want to be the one to say it. That's how the queen started. me nearly turned fish he said that say in a play with my mind yo what world this is a y'all still don't think this is a simulation this is crazy this is a real interview you said no bati boy yes during the interview the young entertainer opened up about what he described as years of spiritual warfare i'll tell you these niggas You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. You get it. I see that all the time. And battles with identity. He said there was a period where he began losing his desire for women and felt his mind was under attack. Say it in a play with my mind. He shared that in the middle of that struggle, he began singing his father's controversial hit song, Boom Bye Bye, as a reminder of his upbringing and beliefs. According to Jaziel, that moment jolted him, and the very next day he walked into church seeking baptism. However, Jaziel admitted that getting baptized did not immediately fix everything. Nothing never changed He said adding that he later realized deeper prayer And spiritual work were necessary So when you say nothing changed What do you mean? How do you know he still went out on a date With a dude? Or was it like I think he realized that he needed to pray a little bit harder Okay He seeked medical attention He sought medical help For what he believed was a misdiagnosed illness Gay is a misdiagnosed illness? Yeah According to some West Indians Absolutely Not no Batsy What? Yo, that is crazy, man Alright, well I think he'd just be happier if he would just be gay Yeah, it's always that part of it, right? Like, fam, you could just It's okay I can understand that probably growing up in the household of Buja Bonsan and that culture Yeah, but he's a grown man now, he don't still live at home with Buja Since growing up in a house like that you would feel pressure Yeah Oh, definitely so definitely that can spill over into your cell hood even once you've moved out yeah so unfortunately i did laugh just because it was funny me nearly turned fish funny as fuck i don't nearly turn fish say and i play with my mind yo man all right man whatever that's why but me and maw have stood on that like yo like niggas be claiming they're fighting demons it'd be bisexuality Fam, just be gay, dog. Ain't nobody tripping. You in the house cursing your girl out, arguing because she left the soap dish with a half a piece of soap in there. Just go be with your boyfriend. You don't like women? That's fine. It's not a demon. Just go. You fighting that text message that you keep ignoring. Just answer, homie. Go see him. That's all. You ain't no reason for you to be arguing with your girl Like man just go see your boyfriend Nobody cares It's 2026 nobody cares I promise you You can live in mad other places And there's gays in Jamaica Let's put that out there Let's just get that out there There's gay people in Jamaica Like we gotta stop that There's gay people in Jamaica But I get it I understand cultural Things like that pressure from the home But as a grown man Be comfortable be who you are be yourself One life One life one love One life one love You heard it one life one love Relax Sorry Speaking of the simulation Did you see that Jim Carrey was cloned I saw people trying to make it a thing They said the eyes are different I don't know man People are weird I think it's just makeup maybe Jim got some fillers done. He got a facelift. Yeah. That's Jim Carrey, bro. That's Jim Carrey. He got a facelift. He can't move. You see how tight his forehead is? He got a facelift. Well, some people would say that if you've followed Jim Carrey for the last decade, he wouldn't be the one to get a facelift because he does not care about society the way maybe an actor would. My only conspiracy really was he's on his Andy Kaufman shit and this has to do with some type of role or something that he's like the way The Weeknd was walking around with a fucking mask for that. I was like maybe Jim Carrey's doing something based off celebrities and how dark that world can be. This is his latest trick. Yes. But I mean even that to me is I think this probably is Jim Carrey bro. That's Jim Carrey. He's a baddie. He got a facelift. That's Jim Carrey. It's okay. I get it. I know the conspiracy theorists love shit like this. They zoom in on the eyes compared to his eyes from five years ago. I get it. I understand. But that's Jim Carrey, bro. That's Jim. That face tight, though. They put their knee in his back. They pulled his whole shit. God damn. But that's the thing, I guess, with plastic surgery. You really need the right lighting for it to look okay. Or you look like that. Yeah, but he looks good, though. some people look crazy right there some high cheeks i mean you know he looks good though my favorite thing um about conspiracy theorists that i'm starting to like really notice i don't want to call white conspiracy theorists racist because that's unfair but i think a lot of you guys are subconsciously racist because i do think it's hilarious especially on the right wing of the QAnon people, this and that, you guys can believe every insane conspiracy theory, but draw the line at systematic racism. J. Edgar Hoover, which is, you could pull the files at this point, everything's redacted, of systematic racism. Nah. Racism isn't real anymore. But you will literally believe that they're eating babies in a lair under L.A. with lizard people, but be like, guys, there's no such thing as racism. systematic racism are you crazy the government would never conspire against black people yeah i guess anyways with that said did you guys see the mcdonald's ceo to eat his own product no i heard about that funny it's not even a conspiracy he was uh i don't know who on their social team was like yeah you got to do the the lunchtime tiktok he went and showed the new the new burger, the big arch at McDonald's. He took the littlest bite of all time. It's the way when you go into a Chinese restaurant in New York City, you never actually see Chinese people eating the food. Because they know we shouldn't be eating this shit. Right. So he went, delicious. He's probably a vegan. Where's this McDonald's at? That's his office. And what's funny is he started out by saying We tested this in Argentina And Germany and Canada Now we're ready for the space We tried to see what it would do to other people So this is the new burger, Big Arch Yeah, Big Arch You can see the crispy onions there What's so different about this burger? Nothing It's like a smash burger type of thing? They added more steroids into it they added some sesame seeds to the bun i'm just trying to keep up with burger culture got it i don't know if i trust like mcdonald's like with the crispy onions like i don't know i don't know how i feel about that so that's where you go the line onions you don't trust mcdonald's well i don't eat mcdonald's burgers but i don't know like i don't know if i trust them to get the onions crispy like right like is that real onion what do you trust them to get right. Yeah, because if you leave that burger out for a month, it's not going to go bad, I promise you. They still do that, though. They still don't use real meat. I thought because they got called out on it so much, they started. What does that mean? We call out shit all the time, baby. These niggas still do the same shit over and over and over. Let it blow over. We don't have that much cows. We know that. We don't have that much beef. For them to be selling billions of burgers a year, think about how many McDonald's there are in this country alone. And all of them are selling millions of burgers a year. How? Where's that meat coming from? We already know the nuggets is just everything waste. They just grind everything together and make a paste. We saw that, Doc, how they make nuggets. It comes in a box of pink paste and they just take pieces of it and dump it in the fry. It's so good, though. It's delicious. With some ranch. Which is not ranch, either. Every once in a while, I'll crave McDonald's nuggets. Every once in a while. I've driven through almost every state in this country I've never seen that many cows Just McDonald's period Not the rest of the restaurants I've never seen that many cows It is not possible You've never driven through North Dakota I see a million cows Now I see how they do it There's 30 million cows over there I get it now It's not possible At one time I think this is like You can read this At one time it was though. It was just pure 100% beef. When McDonald's was, you know, obviously first starting years ago. And it wasn't as many, it wasn't a franchise as it is today, as big of a brand as it is today. But no, there's no way. There's no way that that's real 100% beef. It's impossible. They said they're still made 100% pure USDA inspected beef. They say that. Oh, oh, no. The government, my bad. AI said that. My bad. AI said it, gotta be valid The government says that USDA? USDA is being inspected They just told niggas to go get a vaccine and now spoons stick to your arms Pumping us with fluoride Not the fluoride My dad started with that the fluoride is blocking my third eye Welcome Every nigga say that when he can't get a job Yo, the fluoride Yo, what's up, man?

It's just certain things you just have to have in your bathroom. When you go to somebody's bathroom, you're like, man, you ain't got no mouthwash in here? What you be doing? How you brush your teeth? You just toothpaste on a toothbrush and that's it? That's not enough. That's not going to get it. If you don't floss, I'm not going to say you also don't wash your ass. I'm going to say you wash your ass with the same rag that you do for your face. Yeah. You literally wipe your butt and then wash your face with that rag. It's one and the same. I agree. No wife's baby D, get out of there. If he ain't got no wife's baby D. Yeah, no, I'm not. Because I know eventually when we get there, like. Ooh, she stinks. She stinks. You never go for a cuddle session and a she stinks? There's something like butt under here. You never go to somebody's crib and there's just a blanket and everything. Something like butt? Like, you like. Y'all think I'm nasty. That's never. I've never gotten to a girl's house and her sheets don't. Yeah, man. That's a man thing. Yeah. That's a nigga thing. Oh, mine don't stink.

How are you laying on this? You got to smell, like, right when a nigga, like, where he lays, like, where his butt will be, you got to smell that part of the sheet. what does their bathroom look like if their sheets are like that because you can't wash your ass in a dirty bathroom if it's dirty already you can't be clean some people will know this is the thing this is the thing about dirty people they know what clean people are expecting right so they know what makes them look clean so they'll do like they'll straighten up and make shit look clean so unless you're really inspecting you don't know that it's but you can't hide the smell of funky ass on a sheet yeah got the top sheet don't smell the top cheat. The one underneath. Yeah, you got to get up under there. The one underneath. And down by where his feet be. Yeah. You got to lay at the foot. Y'all be fucking with some dirty people, man.

And was Daniel Ricciardo's illustrious F1 career a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better. And plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.

I need whatever toothpaste Shia LaBeouf is using though. That's the third item. Shia LaBeouf is easily the funniest dude in the world right now. By far, it's not close. Watch the interview. Who was the interview with? Channel 5 Channel 5 Shia LaBeouf Now was this post arrest? Yes This was his out on bail This was his first day out This was Shia LaBeouf's first day out Interview on Channel 5 I don't know how many clips They plan on clipping from this But this entire Interview was just Like Incredible Shia LaBeouf is one of my favorite people for sure it's funny I forgot maybe it was last week we were talking about off mic we were talking about man crushes I've had a man crush on Shia LaBeouf my entire life I'm like a big Shia LaBeouf fan so when this dropped to me this was like a new Jay-Z release anytime Shia gets in front of a mic the Jon Bernthal interview that he did three years ago is like one of my favorite interviews period and that's somebody that's sober and in a good space in his life right but this is the shy i really want to hear first day out i don't want i don't want to hear from this logical understanding human being that nah nah this is the shot we need i need mardi gras yeah so shia labeuf on the fc files he said i was chasing acid mardi gras but what do you mean I wasn't paying no attention to Epstein Files This is beyond me bro, I don't get into this Yeah I just wondered, it was like the biggest news story In the world for a couple of days, if you've gotten a life You're just sitting in a hole That means you're not chasing ass motherfuckers That are in the street, they don't give a fuck About this stupid shit, if you're sitting home all day Like a who got kidnapped Your life sucks, you're a normie But if you're out here, nobody cares about none of this I remember asking Kendrick Lamar one time Like bro, hey, Trump or Kamala He was like, you think I give a fuck Like he ain't got a lion We got families to feed I'm the good one Yeah you ain't seeing me on those lists Or in those rooms My life is in the See this is like Even what he's saying don't make sense He said like he ain't got a Like he ain't got Ain't lying We got families to feed I don't even know what that means I think the person who typed this out Might have got that wrong But I think he just meant Like he ain't lying We got families to feed I'm the good one Yeah you ain't seeing me on those lists Or in those rooms My life is in the streets My life is in the streets Shia LaBeouf is really out here in the streets He's getting arrested in Mardi Gras. Like, he's on set. He became gangbanger at 36 just for, like, research purposes for a film. Like, y'all not doing what Shia is doing. Y'all not really living like this. This dude is the definition of don't give a fuck. I'm free. I can do whatever I want. I go wherever I go. But aside from all of that, he is a talented actor as well. Let's skip over the gangbanging part. My favorite part was not that Shia LaBeouf joined the gang at 36. Whatever. Different strokes for different folks. It was when they asked Did you get jumped in And he explained that they were considering it And they went Come on man we can't jump you in Yeah nah we're not doing that What does that group chat look like Yo we thought about it We thought we were going to put you on the black mat but We thought we were going to jump you in But we decided like nah man We can't do that to you Then we took some time we talked it over And we don't think that we should jump you into this gag I love this dude man Do y'all agree with him on this stuff? On what? I'm chasing ass at Mardi Gras. What do you mean? What do you think? No, I don't agree with everything Shia LaBeouf. If you're sitting home all day like, ah, who got kidnapped? Your life sucks. No, I think children being sex trafficked is something that everyone should care about. I think actually a lot of people that don't care about running around Mardi Gras is somehow how you could possibly get involved with sex traffic if you ignore it. But that's another thing. I'm not at Mardi Gras chasing ass. I'm not doing that. I can understand how some people would be. But I'm also not. I think what he was more so saying is people are a little too consumed with, you know, the Epstein files and things like that. Now, it should concern you being a citizen in this country. If there's sex trafficking or anywhere, if there's sex trafficking happening and, you know, kids are being kidnapped and sex traffic, you should definitely be like concerned about it. But I think Shai was more so saying like if this is if this consumes you every day, like your everyday thoughts and, you know, your life, then it's like, bro, like, what's up with you? I get it. I understand how somebody can be concerned. But like, that's all you are online reading and consuming every day. I also think that a lot of I agree with you. And I also think that a lot of these people are not being real with themselves. They only care because it's connected to celebrities. There's sex trafficking everywhere. You can get involved with helping to stop sex trafficking locally. Like there's so much sex trafficking in America. People only care because it's about people who are celebrity related. Like that's why they're so. You hear about sex trafficking every day. I think there's definitely a group of people that care just because there's celebrity names in there. But I do think there is a large group of people that are very concerned that the elites that run this country that we give our tax dollars to that make every decision are involved in a sex trafficking. For sure. I think it's actually above the celebrity thing. Like, fuck the celebrity shit. Wait, you mean the people that are controlling our country have been doing this for as long as the countries existed? That's it doesn't consume my life every day, but it's a big concern to me. there's nothing I can do, unfortunately, but I don't even want to go through this because there was, there was a consume you every day. No, but I can't, I can't say that there hasn't been a day that I don't think about the Epstein bow. There's never been a day in your life where you don't think about the sentence, uh, since they came out. No, I don't think so. That there's been a day that I haven't thought about. It's a, uh, extremely concerning thing. I don't care that, random celebrities that someone called a hotline about are in it. It concerns me that a lot of the decision making that goes on in this country down to the fucking war that we're currently in are attached to somebody that's holding sex trafficking over their heads as collateral. That consumes my mind pretty often. I can't even watch this war and not think about that scene file. Okay. Like at all. But neither one are there because I'm here to have fun. That's why I didn't want to get too much into this part because as much as I do fuck with Shia LaBeouf, I think he's made a lot of mistakes. I think he's owned up to a lot of mistakes. Mm-hmm. And he's a grown man that will get in front of a microphone if he wants. How do we feel about putting a mic in someone's face at this state? That's called entertainment. no here's the thing i'm not here to judge anyone if we were in new orleans and ran into shia labeouf on bourbon street bless you bless you god bless straight on bond i'd pay for his bond and say would you like to do a podcast i'm not here to be on some holier than thou shit whatsoever i would 1000 do this interview no matter what but looking at it i appreciate somebody in this form Especially people that struggle with addiction And are similar to Shia To seeing him in this state do an interview I do think that important But at what point do we pull back a bit and like I don know if we should put some of this out It's a little unfair to do to somebody that is telling you that they are not in the best. Mental addictive state at the moment. yeah I mean I understand what you're saying but at the same time this is what he does though he's not doing an interview all the time like this interview every month anything like that I mean I don't know did you think he was in the wrong mental state in this interview yeah okay I ain't getting this game to be no fucking social worker like we're media personalities this is Oh no, I don't think Sam's got anything wrong I want to make that very clear I'm not sitting here trying to be On my high horse of like, I would do this interview And keep everything that was there I probably would have provoked a little bit more than he did I think he handled that very well But it's just Yes, he wanted to do the interview But at what point are we like I don't know man, should we be doing this right now I'm talking just to the room In general, we would do it Absolutely 100% How far is too far? That's what I asked you about Domani and King and them I just asked you how the same shit Yeah, but I don't know, man I get what you're saying about mental health And mentally people being in a certain space And should you put a camera in their face But I also He could have declined the interview For sure, he's a grown man If you're not in the right mental state Like, that goes with any type of And I don't want to call this assault Because that's not what it is No. That goes with anything when you're taking advantage of someone who doesn't know better or isn't in the right mental state to stand up for themselves. Of course he agreed to it. That doesn't mean that it's good for him. If he's in a bad mental state, if he's not in his right state of mind, yeah, he's going to agree to shit he probably shouldn't. People who want crack are going to suck strangers' dick for crack. Of course, it's consensual. Well, yes, it's consensual, but you already know that this person is in dire need of something or they're not in their right mental state. So you are wrong for still taking advantage of them. I mean, at the same time, I also think this is why I'm a hypocrite. At the same time, I thought it was beautiful watching somebody work out something in real time on camera. I thought that was an actual not to be corny, a very beautiful thing. Like in the middle of his answers, he was still trying to figure out. he's like, I'm in the moment of this entire thing. Which I think is cool to watch as human being to human being because we've all been in situations where things are going left and we're trying to figure them out in real time. People have said that about Orlando Brown for a while now. That was going to be my next point. Because even Shia, they the same nigga. No, they're not. Not even. What? Orlando Brown. You don't even know Shia's body like that. No, you can't do that. Okay. How do you think they're the same? So, okay. I think Baby D is saying the same as far as they say whatever the fuck they want to say. They say whatever they want to say. They haven't been mentally healthy in a while. And when people shove cameras in their faces hoping they say absolute crazy shit. But I think Orlando is he's reached a point of You think he's trolling? 1000%. I think Orlando is really mentally unhealthy. I don't think it's true. I'm not saying he isn't mentally unhealthy. I'm just saying he also is trolling at the same time. Like when he sat down with Ray J and, and what's the other, Marco, funny Marco. And he started like biting the microphone. Like, it's like, no, at that point, like, like, you know, come on, fam. Like, are you serious? Like he's trolling. Like he's definitely know, he knows everybody thinks he's batshit crazy. He knows when he walks in a room and cameras are there, people are waiting for him to say, or do some crazy shit. Like he knows that at this point, he knows. Okay. But I'm not saying he hasn't been through some issues and had drug issues and things like that. We saw, obviously, real moments as far as that goes. But I think he knows the lane he called for himself, and he knows he has people in the palm of his hands whenever he sits down for an interview. And he's like, all right, they're waiting for the next crazy Orlando moment. I'm going to give it to him. I got to give him something. He's definitely aware of that as well. I think those first interviews were very much somebody that has mental health issues on camera. and then he leaned into it him and Rasby started arguing and they were both claiming blood and grip no like they were yelling sets that neither one of them are a part of but no he was screaming rolling 60s and throwing up a blood sign so yes I think it's performing at the same time it does appear though that Shiloh was possibly never mind. He was arrested for yelling gay slurs. Oh, that's why he was arrested? He was arrested for disturbing the peace and getting in a fight, but it was because there also may possibly be a hate crime charge that's added to what it was because it may have started from slurs. Now, he had said that he is homophobic if it means when big gays touch your leg, you don't like it. Don't look at me. Why are you looking at me? I just felt him when he said that. I felt the same way. It's like when I'm all about to say some shit that he know I'm going to end up cutting out that episode, he look at me before he say it. I just felt shy when he said that. I would be uncomfortable too if big gay men started touching my leg. I'm not gay. Why are you touching my leg? I didn't think that was crazy for shy to say. I don't see a world in the way that would happen. Let me say that. Where was Si at when big gay dudes started touching his legs? Mardi Gras. All right, cool. It's a party town. It's a party. It's a card. You know, we have a friend. And how do you know they're gay? I mean, what were they wearing? How were they dressed? Were they cladly dressed? Or did they have one? Cut-off jean shorts is gay. I think that's like a universal, that man might be gay. When it's like, not the long cut-off jean shorts. the short like the joints you would wear baby d okay short like the short short jean shorts like in the photo book yeah you know that's gay men attire they gay men love denim shorts like but the short the short denims though not the the knee joints up here they gotta cut they gotta cut like if i if i sit down i might show a little fur like them type of you know it's like all right that gentleman might be gay. That's all. I just... Like the denim shorts with the Doc Martin boots. You know if they have the Doc Martin boots on, like the black with the denim shorts, that gentleman might be gay. When they like super in shape, gay men love the gym. Gay men gonna work out. They gonna look good for they man. Yeah, so you know. If one of those dudes was to touch me, I would be uncomfortable too, so I'm saying like, don't touch me, fam. I feel like if any grown man touched your leg, you would be uncomfortable. He doesn't have to have Daisy Dukes on. You can have one of Nike tech. If that nigga touched my leg, I'm going to be like, yo, fam, now I got to kill you and your man you can't wait. Don't touch me. Yeah, I'm uncomfortable. Yeah, as a heterosexual man, no man should be touching me. I know the case is pending. Shia LaBeouf is full of shit. There's no way he was sitting between two large gay men and they started grabbing his legs. No, they might have done. He saw a gay person and yelled some shit he shouldn't have said. Yeah, I can see that happening. That's a thousand percent what happened. he was not just chilling and then just no but you don't know he's a he's a Hollywood actor the guys probably saw know who Shia is they probably thought he was attractive they probably read he was gay somewhere it's Mardi Gras we're all drinking I don't think anyone's read that Shia LaBeouf is gay I mean I think it was something like that about Shia before yo but also I'm calling Kat because a gay man not just gonna rub your leg you Shia LaBeouf he gonna rub your face he gonna slide his hand down your face like this if you shy a little. I've never seen him shy a little. Slide his hand down his face. Like, aww! He'll call him cute or some shit like that. They're not going to just grab your legs. I don't like that making big gaming aggressive. No, he's going to stroke your face gently. That's not aggressive? No, but it can make you uncomfortable when they grab your legs. Stroking your face isn't aggressive? Baby, if you're on a date with a guy right now, he stroke your face. That's not aggressive to you? What do you look like? See, exactly. If we were all walking down the street and a man came up to you and went like this to your face, I promise you, Maul and I would knock the dog shit out of you. Oh, Baby D. Oh, my God. It's so good to see you. That's not aggressive? It would be hand to throat immediately. That's aggressive. But at Mardi Gras, is it acceptable? At Mardi Gras, it's acceptable? Nah, not for shy. He don't want the big gays touching him. He's not rolling. Alright, anyone non-consensually that's big that touches me, I'm going to feel like if Ronda Rousey grabbed my thigh like unconsensually, I'd be scared. I would be terrible. I need to work on my goblet squats a little bit. Like what I need to do. I would ask Ronda like what I need to do in the gym. I would think she's saying like, yo, Ronda Rousey is beautiful. I'm just saying unconsensually, somebody that can clearly beat me up, I would feel threatened. Also, it's whenever you feel like you can be beat up. If someone is unconsensually touching me and I feel threatened like they would harm me. Yes, I feel threatened. Okay. Do you think you could beat up Ronda Rousey? No, I don't. So if you didn't want her touch and she touched you, would you not feel fear? I would let her have a way. Like if she was going to take your manhood? Yeah, I would let her have a way. Ronda, she could have a way with me. Ronda, go ahead, man. Go ahead. Get you some. Go ahead and get you a little. I don't know how much of this we're going to keep. I feel like this isn't that bad, and I'm a liberal. Wait, what? Baby D, what? You're a liberal. What the fuck is happening? Yes, on paper. Oh, God. I'm the only liberal in this room. We don't know about Ryan yet, but I'm the only liberal in this room. Ryan's a liberal. Oh, he's a big dem. Big dem. Big democrat. Anyways, I did really enjoy this Shia LaBeouf interview This was dope I do hope he finds the peace That he's looking for I hope he doesn't have to sit down for a while But he said he's fine if he has to do that I believe him I don't believe anything is wrong with Shia LaBeouf Well, since we're talking about mental health I wanted to get you guys' opinion You know, we love to diagnose people here Like Rory has called people autistic And all of these things You did diagnose the game with autism him i said he was bipolar oh both it was definitely both no i said he was bipolar oh bipolar okay well since we diagnosed people i came across a tiktok there was a young white woman shout out to her and her pain and she was talking about her ex um her ex being a new nfl player tez johnson who got signed to the bucks last year drafted to the bucks and she was talking about the day that she got engaged and the day she got engaged everything was beautiful she was in love A couple months later, his ex, you know, once his ex saw that they were engaged, blah, blah, blah, contacted her and sent her some screenshots of some things that he sent her on the day of the engagement. On the day of the engagement, Tez Johnson texted his ex at 9-11 in the morning and said, need your throat. Never forget. Need your throat. Never forget. At 9-11 a.m. He didn't forget the throat. No, he didn't forget her throat. Never forget. Day of his engagement, right? so text that goes on to plan the whole day you know proposes to his fiancee all of these things right he then he then texts at the end of the day right 12 22 in the morning after proposing to his fiancee and she says yes he says when can i nut in you and fuck you like i want to the ex-girlfriend to the ex-girlfriend day he got engaged the day he got engaged so before the engagement it was need your throat need your throat after the engagement it was when can i nut in you and fuck you like I want. Same day. Same day. Thespian. What were her replies? She heard it. She cut those out. She heard it. The knee-jerk throat. And then she cut everything else out, I guess, before she screenshot it and sent it. Why'd they do that? Yeah, nah, let me see what she said. Let me see what you said. That doesn't matter. You're right. Of course it doesn't matter. She didn't know he was getting engaged, so you're right. I understand that. But like, just for context. Just curious what your reply was. Just curious what your replies. That's all But there's a reason you blacked it out He's wild He's wild for that On the day you getting engaged You texting your ex and me in your throat And I want to nut in you We can't nut in you and fuck you like I want We can't nut in you and fuck you like I want Laying next to your new fiance Laying next to your five hour old fiance When you put it that way Yeah he's tripping He's wild for that He's wild texting like that is wild period like period whatever that's our relationship we have a sexual relationship yeah that's a normal that's a normal saturday morning that's that's how we do wake up wake and bake you know what i'm saying that's how we do but then why get engaged i was if you're feeling this way that that morning at 9 11 maybe you should keep the wedding like just hold it like you know what i don't today mean it's not today it's not today maybe eventually we could get there i still need her throat like maybe i don't need to have a fiance Like those hands You need another woman's throat You don't need that with you Oh why don't you propose To the one that you talk to Like that Because I would assume If you texted her like that You can't take this It's clearly just like That's my You know I need her throat I don't need The rest of her Nah just the throat Well I need somewhere To nut as well The throat No but he said He's gonna nut inside Well I guess maybe He's talking about the throat Yeah I thought he was talking More about her vagina When can I nut in you And fuck you like I want Yeah, can I nut in you? I've never TMI, I've never came in a woman's mouth and thought I nutted inside of her. But I guess by definition I did. Yeah. So sorry to my parents that are watching this. I'm just saying, either way, he's wild for texting his ex that and he gets engaged. That's like, fam, you live in like multiple lives at this point. But is that like the horror complex of like, because I've had this conversation with men that I've dated where there were things, they were like, there's things i'm just not comfortable doing with you because those are things we do to whores fine right this is totally different you're this is the day you're getting engaged but what i'm saying is the issue might be is that he looks at his future wife or ex-future wife one way and that other girl another way yeah with her just like his porn his little porn star they have great sex it's just like a sexual chemistry married a porn star why would you not want to Slut out your wife Some people don't Some people don't Yeah some people don't Some people don't feel like they should be doing that to their wife And I mean slut out in the most positive way And the most like if you want to be with this person Alright so then you're just Dedicated to a life of cheating Because if those are your needs Which are fine Consensually Why wouldn't you want to do that to your girl But that's a real thing Because maybe the fiance is not into that type of sex Oh she's not Maybe that's not your person Maybe he don't want her to be into that That's the conversation me and Maul are having That's a real thing A lot of people don't look at their wife and say No we're all having the same conversation I think that's insane that you would not want Your life partner To explore sexually I think that's very odd I'm just saying he just shouldn't have gotten engaged No I think you should explore more with your wife than you would with a whore but some people are raised that good girls don't do these things it's a wife now women and men are that good girls just don't do that we saw in the brothers where she was like my mom taught me that good girls don't suck dick that's a real thing and it continues in the south that's a real thing I remember a girl told me that one time she had to eat me up like I ain't never ate up before I was like alright why are you lying like that she was like what now I don't trust you because now you know you're lying you knew that head was crazy you ain't that wasn't your first time it was not your first time like that like that no that wasn't her first time not that I cared but it's like she was being very you know like she don't do this very shy very oh those are the ones clearly those are the ones somebody tell you I don't do this often they do it every day they do that shit bi-weekly. I guess you guys, I don't even know if it's a South thing, because rest in peace to Eugene Farrell. I'm so sorry, Grandpa, for telling this story. He did tell me that Italian men don't let their wife suck dick because they kiss the kids. And I was like, who wouldn't want their wife to suck the dick? Yeah, that's true. I don't believe that. I believe it. I don't believe it. That sounds like my grandfather's era. I believe that. But then I was thinking, well, you said Italian. We're Irish. Grandma, what the fuck? There you go. That fast, you solved it. That fast. Rest in peace, Eugene Farrell. But no, deadass, you should want to slut your wife out. I think that's a pretty easy way to keep a marriage moving for the rest of your life and not be faithful. You shouldn't look at your wife. She's a good girl. She's married and doing whore things with you. That's a good girl. That's your little whore bucket now. oh that's is that what you're referring to him these days no he's a she's a wife but you know sorry so she just exposed this on the internet and just yeah she she talked about it we don't even particularly care for she well she i guess she had she's a influencer and at the time sure her engagement was big and it was called off suddenly she wasn't living with him she wasn't married so people were like what the fuck happened and she came on she was like yeah i have no problem exposing terrible fucking people because since i originally talked about this a bunch of other girls have come out and said oh well i'm dating him and this looked funny and this and this and it's like yeah i don't mind when people like if you're gonna do horrible shit to people like that i don't mind you can put on front street like i understand like keeping a p but nah if you're gonna play with people's like safety and emotions and shit like that people need to out you as a terrible person if and there will still be women you're rich there will still be women who will date you i'm not stopping you from getting pussy i agree with you i just don't know if you're going to get the response that you want like no one's sitting here thinking about how she's feeling we're laughing we're laughing at the text she has an audience and her audience cares about okay good like yeah of course a bunch of men on a podcast is are gonna laugh at her that's fine well no i do feel like i'm yeah well i'm lying i don't like you don't care i'm not demani i'm not gonna lose sleep over it but i mean i do feel feel for her like that's fucked up yeah I didn't bring it up for you. At 9 a.m. on your fucking engagement. You're saying, let me get that fucking mail. I brought it up so y'all can laugh at the text messages. That's why it was on the docket. All right. Do we have voicemails? We do. You've got mail. What's up, Rory and Ma in the Meritx? I was looking at Saha, shooting at J. Cole or whatever. It got me to thinking about lyricists in the South, specifically Atlanta. Was the audio good on that? Andre 3000 is the go-to. That's the name they throw out there just to make it sound like they know what they talking about. If I really think about it, I think Saha is a better lyricist than Andre 3000. He got the way doper lines. Andre can kind of play with his flow maybe a little bit better, but bar for Bar size kind of getting Andre 3000 out of here What y'all think You hate three stacks so you can go ahead first I don't hate three stacks ATM I Understand what he's saying I get what he's saying I understand what he's Saying 3000 Probably has Wider range when it comes to Flow and things like that but he's just on my lyrics And bars 3000 got bars But if you listen to Saha Like really a Saha Fan I ain't gonna say he's better He's a better lyricist than 3000 But he's right there He's right there Like he's not 3000 is not gonna just wrap circles around Saha He wouldn't wrap circles around him Saha doesn't get that Saha doesn't have the material The output that 3000 has over the years And that's my only knock to size I wish he put out more music And dropped more albums Because he would be in those conversations If people heard him more often But to what This gentleman is saying I'm not going to say He's lyrically getting 3000 out of here I'm not going to say that But he is right there though He's in that His pen can stand next to 3000 When it comes to bars and lyrics Without a doubt Artistry That's another conversation I don't know if he's the artist that 3000 is But lyrically Rapping just put a beat on and let these two MCs go I don't know if 3000 is going to rap Circles around I don't think that would happen These are like 11pm barbershop conversations to me When everyone's just running out of shit to talk about This is the weirdest Comparison ever He bought up this People talk about rappers from the South. If Three Stacks was in a different era and was trying to come up the way Saha was, where he has to make the biggest statement on So Appalled, or he has to do leakers, freestyles, do I think that Three Stacks could rap the way Saha raps? Like these two records that came out? Of course I think he could do that. He made records his whole life. That was his focus every time. was not, unless you get, if you go through Life and Toms of Andre Benjamin, like, that's him rapping for four minutes straight, just to show you I can do it. Like, it's just a weird comparison because it's different eras. Like, do I think King Los could fucking rap with Nas? Yeah, but I also think if Nas dedicated his life to rap the way King Los does, Nas could do it better. I just think it's such a weird comparison. I mean they both had different objectives but that's what I'm saying 3Sax always held for the most part a lot of his shit unless it was the features on songs the 16 bars, hook 16 bars like he comes from that era of making songs and albums where Sy High has done that yes but he's also in an era where people are just barring people to fuck down so I don't think it's a fair comparison to even like put those two in a category. Okay, but if you had to choose, Guns to Your Head. Who could rap better? Who was a better lyricist, which is different than who can rap better? $100,000. Okay. I'm all good. I understand. This is what I do like, though. I like the fact that people are even so slouch. I'm going to make that very fucking clear. You know that. I just like the fact that people are even saying that, though. Saying. I do like that his name is, because Saad doesn't belong in the Atlanta. That's what I like. I like the fact that people are even speaking about Saad High, because, again, he's one of the MCs that should be spoken about. He's one of the rappers that we should be talking about. And his skill set, his songwriting ability is incredible. I just don't think lyricism always just lands on punchlines. I guess that's kind of my point. Because I still put lyricism and content in The same bag I don't think everything has to be And mind you, Sai has content For sure I think Sai should be brought up in The Atlanta Lyricist Top 5 conversation without question Sai Without question You could make a huge case If you want to get into Lyricist's bag In that, yes, Sai is there It's going to be a lot of Dungeon Family TI But Saha's right there I think Saha's one of the best lyricists Period But I just Three stacks He's just different though He is But I just love the fact that Saha's being Giving his flowers That's it man Just start talking about the real MCs The real rappers, the real spitters The real ball writers Start talking about them some more I understand he doesn't have the music That some of these guys has But the skill set is incredible But then again with his era I don't know Find me an album that can compete with No Dope on Sundays Like if you're going through a lyricist Type of bag in the last 15 years There's good music on that album It's not just talking rat That album is incredible Shout out to Saha man Before we go we want to send a rest in peace To Oliver Grant Power, one of the architects, one of the founders, one of the pillars of the Wu-Tang Clan. We lost him last week. So we want to send the rest in peace, prayers, condolences to Oliver Grant's family. Condolences to the entire Wu-Tang Clan.

These are people that completely shifted. Rest in peace at Nipsey. Everything we talk about with his marathon story starts with WooWear and what they were doing in Staten Island. Absolutely. Independently as well on the clothing side. Raekwon giving $10,000. Alright, fuck it. Let's try it. Just showing us that it's possible. Two people that were legitimate visionaries that you can see their DNA in everything that we champion today comes with power and comes with Mike Watts. And then I mean of course Jesse Jackson He's Jesse Jackson We lost him a couple weeks ago as well Obviously you know Jesse Jackson One of the biggest pillars that we had Coming out of the civil rights movement And everything that this country Everything that black people had to go through in this country He was a big figure in Voicing the oppressors of the black people And fighting for civil rights And for justice for black people in this country So rest in peace to Jesse Jackson and thank you for everything that you've given us. I never met Jesse Jackson, but he walked past me once. It wasn't Jesse. It was Al Sharpton. Skinny out? I was working for, I think this was the first week we had partnered with KWO, Kevin Lyle's company, and I'm sitting at my desk, and it faced the door of the entrance. First week, I'm sitting on my laptop Doing fucking social media shit for KWL And in walks Jesse Jackson, I'm like, where am I right now? Just staring at Jesse, it's like, it's Jesse Jackson Jesse Jackson Reverend Jesse Jackson Also, rest in peace Catherine O'Hara Most notably known as From the mom of Home Alone, she passed away Last week And also Robert Duvall Actor, another actor that we lost some of our favorite movies.
