Honestly, I love the design, like, because, like, since it's so close to the airport, they kind of had it, like, put it below sea level. So it was kind of crazy. Yeah, bro, and I wasn't expecting that at all. I don't know what I expected when I went over there, but, like, being, like, on the ground floor and once you, like, walk in, you have to, like, look down. Yeah. That shit was insane, dude.

This economy, bro. This economy right now, bro. Bro. It's killing me. Facts. I've just been grinding, dog. It's killing me, bro. I saw a TikTok. I don't know if this dude was like joking, but it said he had like four jobs. I believe it. And I was like, God damn. I believe it. In this economy? That's right, bro. I said it on some past pods, bro. I really can't listen to no type of music right now where they talk about flexing. Yeah, nah. You talking about flexing on me in this economy, bro, is disrespect. It's disrespect. That's the only way I'm taking it, bro. I'm taking it as an act of violence. I don't want to hear nothing about the chains, the rollies, the whips in this economy, nigga. It's disrespect, bro. It's$10 eggs right now, bro. Don't disrespect me. Are you crazy? It's crazy, bro. I'm like, I know it didn't even... Does this feel worse than 08? Bro, this has got to be worse than 08. It do. It feels terrible. Yeah? It feels terrible. I feel like I'm not getting no bang for my buck right now. Bro, no air. Not Taco Bell, McDonald's. walmart you can't even go to walmart yeah i was just watching this tiktok too where uh they were talking about how like dumb um fast food restaurants bro they're doing bad right now not only are they doing that bad they're actually um places like chili's and applebee's and olive garden are outperforming you know a lot of these these fast food spots i can see that yeah and it makes sense because you got people you know Think about, like, McDonald's, for example, bro. Average price of a meal, you're spending$10 for a combo. Oh, easy. Yeah, you know, and it's like... The average person is thinking, why would I spend$10 for the combo when I could go to Chili's or Applebee's and spend$12, get better quality food, you know. Unlimited refills. Right. Unlimited chips. Yup. You talking. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. So that's why people are, they're just, they're going other places with their money, bro. I'm with them, bro. I feel like we should, bro. I'm sick of, like you said, the$15 meals at Jack in the Box. Right. Jack in the box, bro. Bro, like, that used to be held for, like, fast food luxury, like, Carl's Jr. Yeah. You know, the thicker burgers, but now it's, like, McDonald's 15 bucks. That's what I'm saying. Like, I'd expect that from, like, Wendy's or something, bro. Yeah, bro. But, you know, I'm not spending$15 for some monkey meat, bro. You spending 15 on the monkey meat and the horse meat? Because the meat ain't changed, you know, bro. Yeah, it's the same. All right, it's still the same meat. It's the same. If anything, I'm pretty sure it's gotten worse. Yeah, it's probably, like, growing the lab. Yup. It's not in the real hand. Yeah, I'm telling you that, monkey meat with mixed with all the filler and everything. And now you want me to spend bro. 11, 12 bucks on that. I was cool with doing it when it was five. Yeah. You know, I was cool with eating a little bit of monkey meat when it was$5. Even the$7.50 wasn't bad. I don't want to pay$7.50. That was really when it was questionable. I was like, damn,$7.50. And if I'm spending$7.50, I need, I better be getting at least a quarter pounder. Yeah. But now it's like, bro, you're getting a double cheeseburger and some fries and a drink for$7.50. That's it. Which is outrageous. And you're still hungry. It's like, damn, bro. It's outrageous, bro. And it's like, yeah, bro it's it's crazy times man it's like we just keep pointing and blaming each other and that's why i'm like bro that's why we just gotta get rid of the parties because they ain't looking out for us bro because they ain't looking out for us bro because i know i i saw supposedly like uh i think like nancy's uh pelosa i saw she was uh now trying to put like a um She was trying to endorse, like, a new, like, you know, senator shouldn't be placing money on, like, stocks and shit. Oh, yeah, they're calling it the Nancy Pelosi Act. Yeah, bro. Yeah, because she's one of the main ones. Yeah, she's the main one getting on that guap. Bro, she got, like,$100 million, bro. A lot of that's off of, like, investments. Off of lobbying, nigga. Yeah. And now she's trying to be like, let's not do it no more. Right. Now she's dying on the way out. Now she's in her 80s, huh? That's why I'm like, bro, it's nasty. Bro, that's what I'm saying. They ain't looking out for us, bro. They don't care, bro. Yeah, they don't care. They don't care. This whole time she's been doing this. And we can't get none. We can't even get no free health care. Maybe even some child tax credits. We really need that to hit. Give us a little grocery stimulus. A little grocery stimulus. Come on, bro. We all American. Come on, bro. Can't get no STEMI, bro. Yeah, give me a grocery STEMI, bro. Here's$600 for the groceries. Thanks. That'll do for a little month and a half, you know what I mean? Yeah, man. But it's tough, bro. Yeah, bro, it's tough times. It's tough right now, bro. Tough times, bro. I guess to get away from that, we got to talk about some good music. Yeah, man. Hey, the music. I feel like that's one of the things, though. Whenever times get tough, the music gets a little better. So we'll see, hopefully. You're not lying. You're not lying. It's been some few... How do you feel about it so far? I know we missed the Clips album. I know Off Mic, we talked a little bit about the Clips album. I know you didn't listen to it too much, but how do you feel even on the first listen? Uh, it was cool, bro. It was cool. It was cool. It was cool. Um, yeah, yeah. It's, uh, I didn't think it was bad, bro. For some reason lately, I haven't really been listening to too much hip hop or like the hip hop I have been listening to. It's been very selective. Like I said, I've been trying to stay away from niggas flexing on me. Yeah. I've been trying to stay from the flexing and the gun violence. It's only a select few niggas flex on me, bro. Freddie's one of them. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a big Freddie fan. I'm a, I'm a support Freddie. I spent money on Freddie before, bro. So, you know, Freddie, but, uh, honestly, bro, I've been listening to that. Give me on a lot, bro. I don't know if you heard that new Gideon project, bro. I love Gideon. I know he dropped. I've been listening to that new Gideon, bro. I saw Bryson Tiller drop. I know Gideon dropped. I've been bumping that Gideon. Oh, see, that's why I need to go, too. Bro, honestly, I was a big Gideon fan, man. I mean, I still am, but I don't know. For some reason, his release has been quiet recently, man. I don't know why it happened to the backing on the label and stuff, but I didn't know it dropped. Bro, he's he's too big anyways. He's one of those guys, bro. I don't, he, he don't need the label. It's kind of true. Yeah. Cause when you look at the stats on like Spotify, bro, he got like a billion streams on multiple sites. Yeah. He got a fan base. He got a fan base. Yeah. And it's, uh, like I said, the way I really rank somebody being famous, bro, like how famous they are is if my mom knows about them. Yeah. My little sister knows about them. Yeah. And if my girl knows about them. Yeah. That's pretty, that's a pretty good range. He's hit all three, bro. Yeah. He's at all three. Same. I'm, Exactly. If your mom knows who Gideon is, yeah. Yeah, he's that big. Because then that means they hit the radio. And once you hit the radio, it's like, all right, bro. Like, you definitely made it with the old folks. Yeah, man. And then, like, the old, like, my mom's one of those older ladies. Like, she ain't always trying to hear, like, the rap. She, like, you know, like, she a little older. So, like, she ain't really trying to hear, like, the bitches and hoes. Yeah. So, she definitely, she definitely, yeah, yeah, yeah. She definitely like the R&B more. Yeah. She be knowing, like, um, her. She be knowing, like, the younger R&B. Yeah. She be knowing, like, the younger acts. I'm like, okay, mom. That should be funny. That always trips me out, though, bro. Whenever you walk in on mom's plants or shit, you're like, how you know about this? How you know? Yeah, I be feeling like an old folk. What you know about, what you know about that her? But it's funny. I'm like, okay. Like, okay. So, it's cool, bro. Yeah. what happened to me, bro. I heard my mom bumping Gideon one day. I was like, what you know about Gideon?

SPEAKER_01: 11:26

She was like, I love Gideon.

SPEAKER_02: 11:28

I was like, what? How you learn about Gideon, bro? Since when? Nah, it's funny because we so old, bro. It's like, that music he's even sampling, shit, our parents was like listening to those. It's kind of funny. Yeah? It's kind of funny how like, shit. But that's another thing that's kind of holding me away from these newer rap artists. We're getting into the era where they're starting to sample the samples. And half the time, it's not even a sample. Sometimes they're just doing straight covers of songs, bro. You're just doing a straight cover right now, and I can't hear it. I don't want to do it, but Sweetie was very big into that, I feel like. She was covering all those songs. And I'm not even surprised, too, because Sweetie was one of them artists, bro, ish. It came and went. Yeah, bro, she was rocking off of straight looks. Yeah, and then Quavo fame for a little bit. She had the looks and then the Quavo flame. Yeah. And then once the Quavo flame kind of died down, and then people kind of got over it, like, you know what I mean? The whole, like, fashion thing, whatever shit. And it was kind of just like, the music was ass, and it was kind of like, oh, yeah. Everyone kind of just moved on. So I was like, yeah, honestly, all her songs kind of was like, when you start sending, like, yin-yang twins and, like... D4L. It's just like, where are we at? You sampling Laffy Taffy? Yeah. Get him up out of here, bro. Like, nigga, that's 05. Yeah. You sampling. It's criminal. Yeah. It's criminal. That's what you sampling? Bro, it's too much music out here, bro, for them to sample the same shit over and over, bro. It's lazy. It's crazy. I say it all the time. It's lazy, bro. I think that's why I'm so like, we'll talk about the Alfredo 2. I just dropped I think that's why I'm so big on Alchemist I know he do be looping a lot and shit though but it's like it's a lot of like fresh beats though still it is so I'm like I do that's why I do love like listen to his beats yeah he does he has a very specific sound bro I feel like that comes with like every producer bro they always they gonna have their their specific sound bro but it's always it's always something new though bro you know what I mean it's always something refreshing you know you're not it's no lazy bullshit with Alchemist bro exactly bro Nothing lazy with Alchemist, bro. I think that's why I appreciate his... You know... his tapes. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying, too, because you already know how I feel about, you know, white guys and hip-hop. I'd be giving them the black treatment. You got to be twice as good, and you're only going to make it half as far with me, but the Alchemist? Yeah, he's up there. Yeah, yeah, the Alchemist's up there, bro. And he from SoCal, so... Yeah, you know, so I got to respect it. I got to respect it, bro. And honestly, bro, he's been putting on heat this year, that Larry June and 2 Chainz. Yup, yeah. That was a good album. I was fucking with that, bro. And then the Alfredo 2. What's one of your favorite songs off the album, man? Off Alfredo 2? Yeah. Honestly, I, What you liking? Freddie really knows how to just compose an album, bruh. Again, he knows, make sure the first song is fucking, that should be the best song. You know what I mean? Because I hate when an artist, bro, when the first song on the album isn't the best song, nigga. It should be the first, it should be the best song, or the second best. Yeah, you should lock me in. You know what I mean? And then again, the last song too, was it like A Thousand Mountains, bro? Yeah, that's a good song. Bro, that one, he had the, what was it, Lemon Pepper Steppers? Lemon Pepper Stappers. Bro, again, there's a good amount of tracks on there that I was fucking with, bro. There was a good amount of tracks that I was fucking with. Were you fucking with some of the features? Yeah. Yeah, I was, bro. I really liked the Anderson.Paak feature, bro. Yeah, that's one of my favorites. That's what I'm saying, bro. I really, I like that, bro. I like the, I think Jed had one on like the Golden Feet, I think. Yeah, honestly, I like Freddie coming again. I know Freddie's one of those artists that like, he's never going to be quote unquote mainstream. Yeah. Like I don't think Freddie Gibbs is ever going to do a hundred K first week. I just not the artist. Yeah. What does that mean? Cause again, we went to the Freddie show, bro. It was packed, sold out. It was deep. That's what I'm saying. So it's like, I think that's like a three K, four K. Yeah. So I'm like, honestly, bro, if he's selling out three, four K a night, Yeah. And yeah, he was there two nights in a row. That's a good bag. You know, yeah. That's a good bag. You know, you saw both nights, bro. It's like, yeah. It's not all about streams, yeah. It's not, bro. Streams, it really, it's not holding too much weight anymore, bro. Especially because we know about streaming farms, bro. Facts, facts. And the way the algorithm, the way the algorithm's set up now to where it's when you go to like these new like mixes that they give you on Spotify and stuff. I've been seeing that. Bro, the labels are paying to get certain songs. I've been seeing that, bro. Yeah, bro, it's the same. We're almost transitioning full- circle back to radio nigga yeah you know what i mean that's really what it's like our streaming apps yeah yeah exactly like again they they're doing like the new like ai dj on there and again you know these record labels bro they have a hand in hell yeah yeah they have no suggest you dj cali i remember that bro bro now my spotify was playing dj cali randomly i remember that scam The fattest Palestinian on earth. Is he? He's Palestinian, bro. Is he? Yeah, you ain't seen Dave Chappelle say that? No, no, no. Dave Chappelle definitely got a gripe with him. But I'm saying, DJ Khaled still ain't said Free Palestine once. Nah, he ain't. He ain't. Disgusting. Like I said, fattest Palestinian on earth, bro. He ain't lying. That nigga eating good. Not showing no love to his people, bro. I don't know. Maybe behind closed doors. But if we're in the era, though, nigga, you got to do stuff publicly. At least for Palestine, bro. You know what I mean? Because, again, how many famous Palestinians are there? I don't know too many. DJ Khaled's the most famous Palestinian, bro. I don't know too many, bro. I can't lie. That's the most famous Palestinian. So for him to never say free Palestine, it's kind of like, hmm. He's been so quiet, niggas didn't even know he was Palestinian, bro. Yeah, yeah. I ain't seen one workout video. I ain't seen nothing. You ain't lying. Yeah, this has really been the quietest I've seen DJ Khaled. He's been laying low. Yeah, but now let's keep it hip-hop, bro. Did you peep that Tyler album, bro? Yeah, bro. I mean, it was different. So my 80s, some like hip-hop dance influence. I thought it was a good album, bro. But like me, you talked off mic. I'm not gonna lie. I listened to it one time.

SPEAKER_03: 17:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 17:38

I listened to it one time. Good album, but I'm not gonna run it back again. I'm gonna keep it real. Yeah. And I think it's one of those things, bro, to where, bro, Tyler's been on a crazy run lately, bro. Stupid. You know what I mean? Like, bro, he's put out like what three four classic albums in a row you know to where it's like you know if this is experimental yeah you know and i feel like it's one of those things i'm gonna have to give it another listen to bro but i feel like we just have such a high expectation of tyler at this point bro exactly because of his whole body of work bro that's again you're expecting something amazing because honestly where are we gonna go from since uh shit i don't know i don't know what No? What, Flower Boy? No. Is it Flower Boy? Is that the one? Which one? What are you talking about? It's what, Flower Boy, Call Me If You Get Lost. He had a few good ones. Yeah, and then Igor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Damn, yeah. Three, four album runs. He had a few. And I say the last, bro, the last album he put out before this. Even Chronotopia wasn't bad. Yeah. It wasn't bad. It was cool. I'm not going to put it in the- Call Me If You Get Lost, bro. That got some replay value to it, bro. That got some crazy replay. I still bump that on a regular basis, bro. That got some crazy replay. And honestly, even some of Tyler's early work, I know we don't like to talk about his Demon albums- No, I still fuck with it. Like, Cherry Bomb. That's exactly what I was going to say. Cherry Bomb. Like, Cherry Bomb's not a bad album. I still find myself going back to Cherry Bomb, bro. Yeah, Cherry Bomb's not a bad album. We talked about this on the pod before, bro. Tyler really got some classics, bro. Tyler got some classics, bro. He's a top five rapper at all times. All time. Yeah. No, at all times. Oh, okay. While he's being active, he's always in conversation. Yeah, he's up there. I'm always going to put him, of course, Gibbs, those type of spitters. And you see, it's interesting, too, because those are two different sides of the spectrum right there. Tyler's very mainstream. It is, yeah. You know what I mean? He's very mainstream, bro. And Gibbs, it's not as mainstream. It's kind of interesting how... gibbs really has his own pocket but it's dope though yeah because you know what freddie to me feels like a very that's like a a cult following type of rapper right he is you know because i wouldn't even say freddie's underground though bruh because again wasn't he nominated for like a grammy or something yeah bro you know what i mean like that's a that's a uh you got a cult following bro freddie's awful about west side gun i think he's he's bigger than west side gun no I don't know, though, bro. He's bigger than West Side. West Side Gun's been on a crazy feature run. Nah, because I'm going to tell you like this, bro. Like I said, bro, my mom, my sister, and my girl, that's the measuring stick right there. Okay, that's fair. I don't even think any of those three know who West Side Gun is. Seriously? Yeah. My little sister, she knows who West Side Gun is. No, no, Freddie. She knows who Freddie is. She don't know West Side Gun? I'm surprised. I don't think West Side like that. Another reason I say that is because he be doing the WWE shit. And you see West Side, again, that might just be another niche right there. Another, like, just cult following. True, true. Does that mean, yeah? Yeah. That's why I thought the kids would know him from the WWE stuff. Yeah. So I'm like, damn, I'm surprised the kids would know him from WWE stuff. But, yeah, honestly, it's just different, though. It's just a different era.

UNKNOWN: 20:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 20:56

Shit, there's another, I mean, Jid Drop. I listen to Jid Drop. You listen to Jid Drop? I gotta peep that Jid, bro. I listen, I know Jid Drop, Bryson Tiller. There's a lot of good music out, man. I listen to that Lil' Sims project. Oh, how was that? Honestly, it was cool. It was cool. I gave it like two, three listens, bro. Pretty good. It was a good album. Okay. It was a good album. I need to get up on Lil' Sims more.

SPEAKER_03: 21:19

Definitely,

SPEAKER_02: 21:20

she's a very creative artist, bro. Very creative. Yeah, man. You've been on that for a little bit. Yeah, you know, because... To me, Sims, she got a classic album, bro. It's the first one? What is it? Yeah, I forgot, bro. I forget the name. It's not the first one, bro. It's the one with the yellow album cover. Okay, yeah. I forget the name to it, bro. That's a classic album. I've definitely seen that a few times. It's a classic album, bro. And so, to me, I'm always just like, especially because I hate on UK artists a lot, bro. She's, bro, breath of fresh air from the UK, bro. Seriously? Yeah, man. That's fair. Yeah, because I don't like to give UK artists credit whatsoever when it comes to hip-hop. That's fair, bro. Because again, it's like, man, do your own shit. Okay? Get back to making ska, nigga. All right? I don't need no hip-hop from the motherfuckers in the UK. Especially, bro, that drill sound that was coming. Bro, it was awful. Honestly. It was awful, bro. Yeah, honestly. Drill is one of the worst genres. Well, you don't like UK drill at all? Bro, I don't like any type of drill. I'm going to keep it real with you, bro. I can't lie. I used to like that Chief Keith Chicago drill when I was younger. I'm not going to do it. And you know what? I don't even know if I consider Chief Keith drill, bro. It was Chicago drill. It was. I mean, honestly, I don't think Chief... He wasn't really drilled, to be honest with you. I don't consider him drilled. Maybe he made some drill tracks towards the end of his career. Yeah, but early Chief Keef, they wasn't calling that drill. Yeah. They wasn't calling it drill. It was like Chicago. Yeah, that was just a shy rack. When I remember hearing that shit in high school, niggas wasn't calling it drill. Yeah, not yet. You know? It's a little different, though. But yeah, that UK. So you don't like Central Sea, none of those niggas. I don't. I can't stand it. I can't stand it, bro. One, two, then two, then three, then a four. No? All right. Yeah, bro, I hate it. Boom, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck. I hate it, bro. Those niggas be cracking me up. This, bro, is so corny to me, bro. That's fair. It's so corny to me, bro. Yes, that's fair, bro. I'm not going to hold you to the fire. And like I said, too, bro, Central Sea, bro, what is it, working with Drake? Bro, that's what I'm, bro, corn balls. Cornballs, bro. I thought you were going to say bad words for a second. I was like, oh, shit. What was he about to say? I was like, oh, shit. He's calling them cornballs. Never mind. I was like, oh, lord. That's how I know, bro. It's industry. It's very industry at this point. It is, bro. It is. If you're out here, if they're trying to push you with the Drake feature, bro, it's industry, bro. Honestly, I didn't want to talk about Drake since we're here. Bro, I'm always going to bash Drake. I got to ask you, bro. How do you... I mean... i gotta ask you bro drake i think drake's on like his fucking fifth single at this point yeah i think the ties he's cracked is probably like 18 19 i told it's over for drake bro i said it on on some of the last pods it's over is this over bro bro again when we look at drake bro from a marketing standpoint all right drake is a brand yeah okay drake is a brand bro kendrick completely destroyed the image of the brand because the whole purpose of a brand right is to cause you it makes you think about a image or something in your mind when you hear the name yeah you know what i mean again it's to the point now there's a whole generation of kids these new kids bro they wasn't here for for take care you know what i mean yeah they weren't around for uh nothing was the same you know again so when When they hear the name Drake, when they think about the brand, Drake, they're thinking about a certified pedophile. You know what I mean? That's what it is now. The brand is tainted. Yeah, the brand is tainted, bro. The image that pops into your mind when you hear Drake is pervert. That's always been for me. Especially now, too, with that... The way I feel about it, bro, bumping Drake at this time, too... I'm trying to push the narrative that bumping Drake's almost equivalent to bumping Kels, bro. If you bumping Drake, you're damn near... Because, again, think about how big that... Yo, stop. I like Kels, bro. And that's cool, because if people can like Drake, why can't we fuck with Kels? I'm not saying I'm thumping Kels like that on a regular. Not on a regular, but if it comes on, I'm not skipping it. I'm going to be honest. But that's what I'm saying, because you know what I think about on a regular, bro? I think about when that Kels documentary came out, right? Everybody was trying to shit on Kels talking about how did this happen. Get his music off Spotify. Yeah, how did people let this happen, yada, yada, yada. I could tell you how they let it happen. It's happening right now with Drake. It's happening right now with Drake. Facts. When you're good enough, okay, when you're good enough, bro, and you're in bed with the right people, all right, they gonna push you, bro. Yeah, pay that money off. Yeah, they gonna push you, bro. Yeah, because honestly, when girls, I mean, they could be lying, but When you got girls coming, like old Snapchats coming out of nowhere and old TikToks talking about, I want the Jake's, I want the Drake's house. I'm a senior in high school. Yeah. And again, like I said, I don't even need to see all that. Drake has came from Drake's mouth before, bro. Again, bro, we seen, bro, he was on that Leonardo DiCaprio shit, bro. What? Yep. Dating a lot of 18-year-olds. A lot of 18-year-olds. We seen it from Drake. A lot of 18-year-olds. Again, I'll never forget, bro. I'll never forget. A lot. Millie Bobby Brown was talking about she was friends with Drake. Yep. And she was 13. That

SPEAKER_03: 26:39

was Texans.

SPEAKER_02: 26:40

What are we... Like, again, at this point, bro, people, bro, their minds must be glued on fucking backwards. At first, we was like, nah, not Drake, but nah, it was Drake. Yeah. I don't believe it, bro. If it's anybody else who's not Drake, if Drake didn't give us take care, bro, we're calling the police. We're calling Chris Hansen. You know what I mean? If a nigga was like, oh, Ludacris was texting a 13-year-old superstar, like, lock up Ludacris, nigga. You're not lying. Because what are we talking about your friends with a 13-year-old? But I feel like we try to give Drake that, like, that pop star pass where it's like... Ain't no pass, bro. I mean, it's not a... But you know what I'm referring to. No, because you know what I think about... It's that Mike shit. I think about all the old school, like, childhood stars, bro, like the Orlando Browns, the Lindsay Lohans, the Macaulay Culkins, all of those people who you heard about was like at these parties doing coke, doing this with adults. That's exactly what we're seeing right now with Drake. Those niggas thought they was friends with those adults, bro. You know what I mean? That's how it started. That's how you get a 13-year-old or a 12-year-old to do coke. You have her hanging out with a bunch of adults talking about, oh, we're friends. Yeah, we all do it. It's part of the industry. That's what I'm saying, bro. There's no type of boundary setting for many of those people. And that's so dangerous, bro. I think it's even weirder when like, Some of those girls we speak of was like Drake was friends with her when she was 14. Yeah. Because he knew the dad. Yeah. And he dated her. And again, we've already seen too that these parents, bro, these parents will pimp out their kids for some money. We've seen it. For some fame, bro. We've seen it with our own eyes. Yeah. Yeah. Again, so it's like how many more times do we have to see it before we could recognize that this is how the pattern starts, bro? Yeah. You know? And I think we got to that point to where it's like Drake's exposed. Yeah. And then I think about too what... The harm, whenever we see Drake come out with these artists, bro, again, it feels so industry, bro. We talked about it on the pod before. Drake was coming out with what, like Morgan Wallen, you know? Again, there's a space for Drake with the right-wingers. He knows. Because I'm about to get into that, too, with we definitely know now the right-wingers and the Trumpers, bro, they're for pedophilia. They ain't released Epstein files. They ain't never released Epstein files. That's what I'm saying, bro. These people should not be allowed to go about their business, bro. without being called out on a regular basis. Every time we think about these people, we should be thinking about the hand that they played in promoting pedophilia. You know what I mean? In promoting sex trafficking, bro. You know what I mean? And that's what I think about now, too, when you got Drake trying to promote Sexy Red. Sexy Red's trying to sell sex to children, bro. Simple as that. she's selling porn to kids bro she's selling porn to kids and the sooner we can recognize that bro and that's what i thought too when you know what other album i was listening to bro who don't judge me bro don't judge me i was listening to that beebs album a little bit bro i was listening to that new justin bieber album bro but i'm gonna judge you it's good it's a good album hey bro it's some cool tracks on there but there was this one bro i was really fucking with it until sexy ray got on there bro bro she didn't she didn't belong on it at all bro she didn't along on the album at all and to me what it felt like i skipped that yeah and it was a good song it was sexy red wasn't in it bro but to me when i hear when i hear somebody like sexy red getting on that track bro that feels like uh the powers up top and the label was like hey hey bb yeah we need you to work with sexy right take this brain exactly we need you to be out here and putting on an artist who's out here promoting fucking pornography to kids, bruh. We need to get Sexy Red into the other community. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, because again, Sexy Red isn't fucking talented, bro. She's not. She's not. She's not. And honestly, and I know we talked about this. If you're an OG pod fan, you know this, but we talked about this before, bro. There's nothing wrong with sex appeal in hip hop, bro. We had it forever, bro. We had Foxy Brown. We had it forever, dog. But Sexy Ray is not on the level of any of those women. She can't rap, she can't sing, and she's half naked. She's half naked the whole time. Bro, all those old school video vixen icons, that was bad too, bro. You know what I mean? I'm not going to go and try to play that off Yeah, I'm not going to try to justify it, bro. That was bad, but at the time, bro, I was a child. That was part of hip-hop, though, yeah. Yeah, I was a child, bro. It's hard for me to see through the propaganda. I'm a grown man now. Like I said, I've been listening to hip-hop for over 20 years now, nigga. You know what I mean? We've been listening to hip-hop for over 20 years now, bro. It's a part of it. Yeah, so at this point, bro, I've been listening long enough to be able to recognize that that's what that is right there when we hear sexy red, bro. They're trying, bro, they're trying. There's people at the top, those tiny hatters, bro. They're trying to push a certain image about the black community. Nah, that's a fact. They're trying to push... And they're pushing that image. They're pushing those ideas through the mainstream music, bro. Bro, fact. You know? And getting older is realizing that, you know what? Sometimes it is the music. Yeah. Sometimes it is the video games fucking the kids up. Yeah, bro. You know what I mean? And it's not because the games... Well, yes, it's because the games are bad, but also because a kid can't decipher shit, bro. He's a kid. Yeah, exactly. Exactly, bro. It's like, yeah, sometimes it is, bro. He's a kid, bro. It's supposed to be some kid shit sometimes. Yeah, man. And that's... I just, I can't ignore it at this point, bro. So when I see, like, Sexy Red, like, bro, it literally... it gives me like a visceral response to where I'm just like, ugh. It's just nothing but alarms going off in my head whenever I hear about that, bro. Because she's not even talented, bro. When I compare Sexy Red to like a Glorilla or a Meg, and even then, they sell sex to a certain extension. But again, there's some sort of talent there, bro. Sexy Red's just gross. I could at least go to some bars. Okay, like, Glorilla's got some bars. Sexy Red's just disgusting, bro. You know what I mean? Just a walking... Fuck my baby daddy. Yeah, just a walking... Free my baby daddy. And I hate that she, like, promotes that, like, you know, that, like, my baby daddy in jail. I just hate it. I hate it. I hate it. And, bro, again, that is very harmful in the long term, bro. It's very harmful, bro. Because all it does is just normalize, like, you know. Again, I feel like we're living in an era, bro, to where people think marriage is more... of a commitment than having a baby with somebody yeah you know what i mean people much rather just have a baby with you before they get married they're like they're like why i got oh i gotta get ready for the divorce you know you know and that's and again the way you shape that mindset the way you get people on board with that mindset bro it's through the music and and the way that works bro it's not like you're gonna i don't believe you just hear sexy red one time and then it's like oh okay but again it's over and over and over again where again you're just subtly you're sitting And you're outside more. That's what I'm saying. And I said it on the pod before, bro, that it's poison, right? The type of shit's poison. And the best way to poison somebody is to make them poison themselves. Yeah. To make the poison sound good. Sound great. You know what I mean? They be outside with the girls, get it set, have a great time. But then, no, but it's a sad, and it goes vice versa for men, but it's different. Yeah? It goes, like, the same way, because then, like, you start living that lifestyle. Then the dudes you run into tour at the club without that certain lifestyle. And actually, you know, it was like Danny 35. Yeah. And that's like, are you still at the club with sexy red? Cause I'll even put it like this too, for y'all, for everybody who's still not feeling me, bro. There's people out there who have, a vested interest in making sure that this music, it low-key brainwashes us, all right? Think about this, dude. When you promote this idea of, you know, baby mama culture, and that's just from the female side. If we're talking about the males, right, when they're out here promoting this idea of violence, you know, and delinquency, right? Multiple women. Yeah, there's people who have an interest in making sure that agenda gets pushed because it just promotes their business. Now, whose business are we talking about? I'm talking about the prison industrial complex. The nigga who's invested in private prisons has a vested interest in making sure violence gets pushed out to the youth. To fill that prison up. Exactly. To fill that prison up. Exactly. It's filling up his pocketbooks. It's nasty, bro. Same thing with Sexy Red and the baby mama culture, bro, and promoting BBLs and all that. There's people out there who have a vested interest in making sure young women or young girls feel insecure about themselves. Newman cooking, bro. You know what I mean? Sephora has a vested interest in making sure young women feel insecure about themselves. You know what I mean? These makeup companies. Again, bro, these plastics. Dr. Miami has a vested interest in making sure that you feel insecure about yourself. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Imagine, imagine if natural became trendy, bro. Dr. Miami might be out of a job. Unless he knows how to do reverse BBLs. Instead, you got girls getting light black 22. Exactly. Exactly. You got girls, bro, 23, 24, getting their third BBL. crazy. You know what I mean? Again, there's people who have a vested interest in this type of agenda getting pushed, bro. Yeah, bro. You know what I mean? I feel like they're definitely fucking up the family dynamic. Yeah, and that's exactly what it is, because even think about it like this too, bro. Pushing baby mama culture, all that does now is putting somebody in the position now, when you're dependent on a single family household, you're going to take whatever fucking job somebody gets. That's it. Exactly. And as I see it right now, McDonald's is low on workers. Burger King's low on workers. You know what I mean? they have a vested interest in making sure you're desperate and you take whatever job they give you at whatever weight. Then they try to shit on you too. Exactly. Why are you adult taking this? And they know they could shit on you because again, you don't have any type of family support now. Yep. You know what I mean? Now you need this job. Yep. Exactly. And I don't even want to shit on people who work at Burger King or McDonald's because, again, I do believe all jobs are important. Those are important. All jobs are important, bro. That's not what we're saying. But those jobs specifically, though, they want to take advantage of people, bro. Because what happened to the good old time where they gave it to the young kids, bro? They gave it to the young adults and you was able to get paid. Of course, the managers are always older. But now it's like you boxing out the young kids. Ain't no summer jobs no more. That don't exist no more. And it gets even nastier, bro, because like we was just talking about, bro, these meals at McDonald's, bro, costing$11. Workers are still underpaid. Facts. Niggas are still getting underpaid. Where's the money going? They got a little bump, but that's it. Yeah, where's the money going, nigga? What, they went to 21 or some shit? Come on, bro. They got a little bump. And again, if you ask me, they deserve- A billion dollar corporation. Yeah. But if you ask me, them motherfuckers deserve way more than that, bro. Bro, facts. Like I said, bro, I said it on a pod before, too. When motherfuckers go there, they expect their food to be hot, fast, okay? And accurate, nigga. Are you going to cuss at you? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And think about this, dude. Think about, bro, they're not allowed to run fades. You know what I mean? Again, that's why I shit on the police so much, too, bro. Because, again, every other job, bro, people have to take getting disrespected from regular citizens, bro. Yeah, hell yeah. They can't fight back, you know. Again, even though I know a nigga at Burger King or McDonald's would be able to whoop somebody's fucking ass, bro. You just gotta take it. You know what? They just gotta take it. Yeah, you just gotta take it. They just gotta take it. Same thing with people at Walmart and shit like that. They just supposed to take it. And it's like, no, it's cool. You know? It's your job. And it's like, well, that cop couldn't take a nigga being disrespectful? You know? Get over here. Get over here. Taste them? Like, come on, bro. Come on, dude. Nah, because it's nasty, bro. It's nasty. Oh, shit. I wanted to ask you, since you're like, where me and you are talking about infrastructures and, like, how we're behind. You see another new proposal? What's up? High-speed train from LA to New York. Bro, that's not going through, bro. I know. It's not going through, bro. But it's another new proposal that they're talking about again. Yeah. 72 hours, uh, LA to New York high speed train. So, um, I can keep dreaming, bro. Yeah, exactly. It was just probably another bill. It's going to fail and fail through. I'm like, It's probably going to be long and drawn out in probably about five years. It'll probably tell us finally. It's not going to happen. Again, because, again, there's too many other companies who have a vested interest in making sure that shit doesn't happen. Frontier Airlines, American Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Delta, Southwest, all those companies want to make sure that you guys have no other choice but to fly to get from place to place. If you're trying to do, you know... uh like fucking travel throughout the united states but honestly at the same time i i don't know if you saw this i read an article one time though and it was saying how like not all of them but some of those airlines are really just credit card companies of planes i believe it you know what i mean yeah because most people nowadays if you like you like you kind of pick an airline and And next thing you know, you got an American credit card. And you're getting frequent flyer points and shit. Or you got a Delta credit card. And then it's like everywhere you go, you want to use it. Because that's your credit card. And then you get points on top of that. And I feel like that's the new game. I see people on TikTok, Instagram, like, you know, sign up for Delta. I got 120 points. And it's like, oh, that's the new game. The new game is to get me to sign up for the credit card. So that way I'm so invested in getting my, my fucking points and flights. I got$5,000 credit limit now with you. And that's, and I believe it too. Cause that's how I feel when I, I be seeing motherfuckers on Instagram, like, damn, how do these people be taking so many trips? Oh, they, they, they using credit. They don't tell you though. And that's, again, that's, it goes back to what I was just saying, bro. A company like Meta, you know, they have a vested interest in making sure you're insecure and making sure that, you know, you're seeing other people live some type of lifestyle, not knowing they're funding a lifestyle on credit. They're funding on frequent flyer points, bro. You know what I mean? Running it up. Yeah. Yeah. They're making sure, again, making sure that you feel insecure and that you're behind, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Cause it's like, damn, why am I seeing this person on a third trip this year? You know? And it's like, I can't even afford to take a trip somewhere in California. Yeah. You know what I mean? New Zealand. Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah. And it's cause again, like you said, bro, these motherfuckers really, it's really, it's a credit card company. They racking up that debt, racking it up. And then, so like, And then in your mind, you justify it because you're getting points. Yeah. And it's like, that's going to pay for my trip to Hawaii. I'm on my$7,000,$7,000 deep, but I got two feet trips this year. And it's like, okay, so that's how they get shot. And now I get the game. I understand the game now. Yeah. But that's why I specifically don't believe anything like that's ever going to happen, bro. Unless they're broken. Yeah. Especially high speed rail in California too. Just even from like, you know, Southern California to Northern California. Yeah. That doesn't work. Even think about something like the fast track, right? The fast track. I specifically think about the one on the 91, the express lanes. That specifically is dependent on making sure that there's consistent traffic. You know what I mean? They're dependent on a broken infrastructure right now at this point because somebody's making money. Somebody is depending on our freeways and our highways to continue to fucking suck because it means that they're going to get more money for their company, bro. You know what I mean? And that's who we're battling with at this point when we're trying to it, you know, these things that are clearly beneficial to everybody else, you know? Because, bro, I fucking hate driving, bro. And I'm making it clear that I do have a bias against driving. Because not only, bro, it's expensive as fuck, right? But even beyond that, bro, it's unsafe, dude. It's unsafe as shit, dude. And again, there's safer, cheaper alternatives. Bro, again, fucking high-speed rail or even just, bro, trains in general. Fucking monorails. If we had a better train system, that would be better. And again, too, think about this, bro. We keep on talking about this idea of how are you able to flex or make people feel insecure. That's the main reason That's one of the main reasons why people do enjoy driving to a certain extent. Because again, your vehicle that you drive is an indicator of something. It says to you. Exactly. It says something to somebody. When you see somebody driving a Benz, you think you have an assumption that you make of them in your mind. You know what I mean? But if we're all on public transportation, it's harder now to be able to feel like you're higher. You're the man. It's harder to feel that you're above somebody else. That's We're all writing the same thing now. Again, you have to think about It's going to cause companies to try to figure out new ways for people to have to flex on each other. You know what I mean? Because now you can't just have your car do that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Go back to wearing suits and ties. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Now, bro, and it gets nasty. That's where it gets nasty now is, again, we can't have nice things like good infrastructure or buses that we want to use because, again, it means that somebody else isn't going to be able to flaunt as much. You know what I mean? That's true. though because again it just pisses me off bro how like dude I'm a vivid connoisseur of history bro I enjoy learning about history bro one of the things that I'm always interested about the civil rights movement right these niggas went on a bus boycott these niggas went on a bus boycott that implies that niggas was used everybody was using the bus Everybody. And the reason why, again, think about this too. We don't start seeing more car centric type of areas until integration. And now you're no longer able to flex on somebody in the bus because before they was able to flex with the white only section. That's how, again, you was able to establish a certain type of hierarchy that was going on within public transportation. buses was benefiting everyone the common man yeah and again people were willing to do it though because again you were able to establish you were able to visually see a hierarchy on the bus whereas hey certain people have to get to the back and then once that ended and then once it ends yeah then you see a bigger push now for for everybody to have their own car we see a bigger push on you know we're trying to develop suburbs and stuff like that to where you need a car now and you can't depend on busing the bus don't run that way no more yeah again and now it went from it went from people were riding the bus so much to where a boycott would affect businesses to the point now where we think we see busing as like ghetto now or something. You know what I mean? Where we see taking the bus is like, oh, you're a brokie. That's like a lower pass. Yeah, and it's annoying. It makes me mad that we think about those things like that sometimes, bro. That's normal. Yeah, and the thing is, I even get caught up thinking like that sometimes, bro. Think about what we used to hear everywhere. at least when i was a kid bro i remember um like driving past bus stops sometimes with like uh like i remember we take the boys and girls club bus to uh to the boys and girls club getting picked up from school and sometimes at these bus stops you see a nigga you know at the bus stop fresh pair of jordans but he's taking the bus right and people would try to shit on that like oh he got jordans but he can't afford a car yeah you know but when you i remember that but it it i think what what should have happened you know was yeah he got jordan's on and he's saving money yeah but we didn't look at it like that you know what i mean again we looked at it as something that should be frowned upon you know and that's what it just fucking kills me bro it's true it kills me that when we see people at the bus stops and stuff like that there's a certain image that pops into your mind there's certain um and they shouldn't be Yeah, there's certain assumptions that you make about people who use public transportation. And that's by design, bro. That's by design. You know what I mean? Bro, we could easily create a world to where when you think about taking the bus, you don't think about, you know, danger or dirtiness or anything like that. You don't got money. Yeah, when we think about taking the bus, bro, it should be like Nigga, I'm doing something that's better for the environment. I'm saving money and I'm safer now because driving cars are dangerous as fuck. And then, and then what it really should be, I should be safer now too because I'm in my community and we should be protecting each other in our community but it's not like that anymore. Yeah. You know, so yeah. Honestly, the bus really should be safe. Yeah. Honestly. We should police each other, but anyway. Bro, it just fucking kills me, bro. The community's dead. They're trying to kill the family. They're trying to kill everything, bro. Yeah, especially where I live at in Chino, too, bro. There's like a lot of these bus stops, bro. It's Johnny fucking blazing out here in Chino, bro. A lot of these bus stops don't have any seats. You know, they don't have any type of cover, bro. So niggas are standing at the bus stop in the hot fucking sun. You know what I mean? That's rough. Frying. That's rough. Frying. You know what I mean? And that type of shit fucking irks me. That is rough. And the reason why, again, the reason why that is is because, again, they're scared homeless people might want to post up at the bus stop. Instead of just making sure homeless people are good and making sure they got somewhere to stay. Let's put some spikes there. Yeah, let's make sure nobody has anything good. Yeah, bro. Like you said, bro, we be thinking backwards. Like I said, you're big into transportation. Bro, LAX just now finally got the Metro to LAX available. I don't know if you saw that recently. I did. I did keep that. LAX has been around for plenty of plenty of years guys they just not got the metro directly to lax and think about how bad they had to let it get bro anybody who's ever flown out of lax they know bro it's a fucking headache it is terrible bro it's awful it is terrible um i got a few uh quick kicks for for you um did you see the women's professional baseball league launching next year no yeah um so um Kind of like the WNBA, obviously. It'd be the first ever women professional baseball league. Is baseball or softball? It's baseball. MLB is the partner. So they're throwing overhand? I think so. Or maybe it is softball. I hope it's softball style. Maybe it is softball. I feel like, yeah, that's just a better transition from college to... I just saw it was called Women's Professional Baseball League, I think. So I don't know if they're actually playing baseball or if it's more softball. But I thought they had some college athletes and stuff were lining up. They're going to have like, you know... Bunch of tryouts and stuff. I did want to ask you, how do you feel about, like, an actual, like, I guess, like, a women's league for baseball? Because, you know, most of the time when those softball players graduate, it's kind of going to be the normal lives. Yeah, they don't have anywhere to go after. How do you feel, I guess, now they have kind of another level kind of going to be professional? I think... I got mixed feelings about it, bro, because I do think it's good, you know, that they should have some type of professional league, you know, but at the same time, I'll use the WNBA, for example. They do... there has become like this idea of, you know, WNBA players should be getting paid equally to the NBA. And I'm not even saying that's, That's right or wrong. But what I'm saying is it skews our whole idea of money now at this point. Exactly. Because what I don't like too at this point, people in the WNBA frame their paychecks as they're not getting paid enough. Exactly. You know what I mean? They're making it seem like they're poor when in reality, when you look at some of these contracts, they're still making six figures. Yeah. They're making$100K. Yeah. You know what I mean? And again, that's great. But what it comes down to is they're not getting paid the same way as these NBA players, so they can't stunt on us the same way these NBA players do. And that's where my gripe is because, again, there's the framing of it as, you know, we're underpaid. And when they say underpaid, they're still getting paid six figures. They're just not getting paid that John Morant money. But that's also their fault for losing. I mean, not their fault, but. We don't tune in. We as America, we don't tune in. So it's like, y'all not getting NBA views, bro. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. Like, I hear a lot of them talking about, you know, we have to go and we have to go play in Russia over the summer because we don't get paid enough. And it's like, no, you don't get paid enough to try to live this lavish lifestyle. You get paid like the average American. You know what I mean? And now the way I think about it is WNBA players are getting paid I feel like maybe they could get paid a little more possibly. But again, we're talking about seven figures. No, because some of them get like 40 grand. So those people, but they're also rookies. They're younger. Yeah. And that's what I'm saying, bro. You get paid the same amount as the average American, you know? And again, they're thinking like, no, we should, we should be getting paid as much as these NBA players. And my argument is no, these NBA players are making too much too. They're making entirely too much to the point where we see it. It's literally ruining the product. It's ruining the product. It's not even about basketball. We say it all the time. It's not about basketball. The owners are making so much money, they're ruining the game. Yeah, and that's what it is, too, is people are making too much all around at this point, bro. And it's like, again, these athletes in general, bro, shouldn't... I don't agree with these motherfuckers getting paid, bro. There's bench players making$25 million for two years. You know what I mean? And when I think about that, bro, that's just a ridiculous amount of money. He played 14 minutes a game. Yeah, he balls. Yeah, they ball out, bro, and they're really good at their craft. He only played 14 minutes a game, though, bro. Think about that. That's crazy. Yeah, I just don't believe they're not going to sit here and try to frame this argument that, you know, that they're worth a 10-figure deal to me. Well, technically they only are because niggas buy their jerseys and, you know. And that's what I'm saying. And then maybe when we talk about things like that, like same thing with the WNBA. Yeah, you should receive a certain percentage of money back based off of like jersey sales and merchandise and stuff like that. But from the most part, bro, I don't like it because, again, it's the framing. Yeah, it's the framing that these... WNBA players are underpaid when in reality you're just making the amount of money that the regular American's making. But you want to be able to shit on everybody else by making a, you know, a seven-figure salary when in reality you don't deserve that. It's because they don't generate enough revenue, bro. And again, there's a reason why. But again, I think there's no problem. Honestly, if they were generating the revenue, give them a million bucks. And that's what I'm saying. And even then, too, I think if you're able to I think about it like this. Professional athletes should be able to make a living wage off of playing their sport, at least. And that's with every job. Every job deserves a living wage. But when we're talking about now, you feel like you deserve to get paid seven figures, that's where the debate's coming in now. That's where the argument's coming in. Because again, when I think about it like that, you mean to tell me I should be going and advocating for these NBA players to make seven, eight figures? and not a teacher. Yeah. You know what I mean? To me, it feels like you're forcing people who are fans of sports to put their energy into the wrong things at this point, too. Yeah. And what that ultimately causes, too, is it causes a shift. And, you know, the way... colleges organize their programs and stuff like that, you know, and the way they base education now, you know, because now it's all about how can we create athletes to generate revenue through sports when it's about the education. You know what I mean? The money should be going to the educators. And even beyond that with high school and stuff now too, because that's what really matters as well. You know what I mean? Again, think about how I'll use this for an example, bro. There is this one cat. I'm not going to say his name on the pod, but who is from Germany who went to Fullerton High

SPEAKER_03: 54:53

School.

SPEAKER_02: 54:54

And I remember I talked to him and I was like, what's the biggest difference that you notice between American schools and German schools? And he said the biggest difference is that in America, sports and schools are the same. They're the same place. You know what I mean? In Europe, bro, they don't have sports in their schools. They have club teams. They have club teams that they pay for you know what i mean so school's about learning you know what i mean school's about learning you don't you're not thinking about sports that's what your fucking club team's for bro and think about how that the the fact that we have sports and education intertwined what that does for the education system now yeah you know what i mean shits on it yeah it does bro and and again educators are underpaid and we see bro we see coaches and taking a lot of the money you know what I mean and not to say that these coaches don't have value in what they're doing but maybe they again they should be coaching for a club team as opposed to coaching at a school because think about this too these coaches get so much money now from the school the fact that so now they can't pay educators so now that they're using coaches to play the role as teachers in school yeah You know what I mean? And that strictly comes from the way you decide to organize your school. Yeah, and the way you decide to fund things. You know what I mean? Because honestly, A lot of schools, like you said, sadly, the way they're set up is like they make their money through sports. Yeah. So, yeah, they're not trying to get the academic. And the way they get donations and stuff like that from like alumni and stuff, they're donating to the sports program. And they're just putting it right back there. When it shouldn't be like that. Yeah. When again, bro, I'm watching, bro, I'm watching teachers on TikTok talking about how they have to, they're paying for school supplies for their students. Insane, bro. You know what I mean? And they're not making six figures. No, bro. And it goes back to my argument, too, about I'm four. you know, like a woman's MLB, but I'm very cautious at what type of conversations that's going to promote, bro. It seems like they're playing it smart. From what I've seen so far, they're going to do, I think the AA or AAA stadiums. It seems like they're playing it smart. You know how the WNBA kind of straight off went into the big boy arenas? Yup. Well, I think they kind of should have went into the college. They kind of should have played it safe. So they're playing it safe. I think they're going to do like the AAA, AA. Kind of the one we went to in Rancho. What was that place we went to? The fight we went to there? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so they're going to do those kind of stadiums. So a little smaller. Not the big 40,000 people. That's a lot of people to fill. And we don't know if it's a good product yet. And I think about it like this, too. I think about... I think it's crucial if you want these types of women's leagues to pop, you can't make it exactly like the men's league. Because I feel like one of the things that the WNBA does that hurts them so much is they go and they try to play on the same size hoop as the men. And that's why, again, the main thing that draws viewers into basketball is motherfuckers dunking, bro. That's a big aspect of it. that's, again, that's one of the biggest aspects. These, bro, these women, these women hoopers, bro, they can ball, bro. They can ball and they have a huge skill set. But when we're talking about, bro, you don't have, like, you're not able to dunk, bro. It's not the same. It takes, bro, it takes away a lot of the type of, like, energy that comes with the game, bro. We watch a whole game for just to see a nigga get posterized. Exactly. It ain't happened yet. It's coming, bro. It's coming. John don't catch him. Yeah, and I feel like this idea of, you know, women need to be exactly equal as men is wrong because, again, all it does is just hurt the potential of the product, bro. I feel like the WNBA could be such a better product if they lowered the hoop one foot. Bro, but they refuse to. And let them dunk. Let them dunk on each other. They're never going to do it for some weird reason. I don't know why. I don't know why. Out of this fake sense of equality. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because, again, too, we already established that, dude, through science, that by, like... Through biology, bro, women don't have the same frame as men to be able to hold the same amount of muscle, to be able to be explosive. Again, we're never going to see a woman do what LeBron James does. This is not going to happen. We're never going to see a woman take off from the free throw line. Unless maybe. Unless they lower the hoop. Exactly. And the thing is, there's no shame in that. But again, they want to try to frame it. there's no shame in that bro there's not bro and i feel like again it would just do it would do the sport a lot more justice bro and that's what it makes me think about too with these uh with the women's mlb league and you see i'm not i don't even want to speak on that too much because i don't even know how that goes with like the main thing i want to see as a viewer when i'm watching the mlb i want to see home runs and i don't even know if women are hitting the same amount of home runs is men you know what i mean like if that's the same i don't know you know like would they need a shorter field as well because Cause that's what I also think about to be more entertaining. I would think you need, I think if they're playing softball, not baseball, probably. Yeah. They're actually playing baseball. I don't know how that's going to go. Yeah. Cause again, I, I highly doubt. And you know what? Maybe there's just a place from, of ignorance. I don't think a woman is crushing it. 450 feet into the stadium. Nigga. I'm sorry. Probably. I've never seen it. They'd be doing it in college. Well, it's actually not college field, shorter home. Yeah. Those fields are shorter. It was like 300. And that's what I'm saying. I don't think I'm seeing that like. 450, nigga. Nah, yeah, you're right. Let's keep it real. And that's what I'm thinking about. If they can't do that, how are we going to accommodate to still make it as electric as the men's league? Just good play. Hopefully, like, you know, just good field play and good striking. Because I'll say it like this, too. Baseball is already boring enough, though, bro. And to take away, you know, they're hitting less homers. Again, it's, bro, you're doing a disservice, bro. Because baseball is boring. It's boring watching the men play, bro. It's boring watching the men play sometimes. So when you got people, when you got women who just aren't as powerful, you know, as the men, again, like I said, I don't think that they're crushing this shit 450 feet. And that's just what I'm worried about. Like, I'm not against women's sports league at all. And I definitely believe that there should be, and they should get paid a living wage. You know what I mean? And it's, it's almost like, uh, back to, um, We had the Kevin Holland discussion on the pod before, bro. Kevin Holland broke it down. He gets paid as much as a doctor. He enjoys it. To fight. You know what I mean? And again... That's the type of mindset. That's what we need to start thinking about when we watch these professional athletes. You know what? We need to stop trying to go and argue about them making seven figures when in reality, they're making as much as a motherfucker with a PhD, bro. And they should be happy, bro. Yeah, you should be fucking happy about it. You can do what you love. Take the PhD money, nigga. Stop being... Do what you love. Again, because once we start getting into seven, eight figures, we're talking about biblical level greed at this point. Facts. I'm sorry, bro. Not everybody deserves to have the double R, nigga. Yeah, I'm with you, bro. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let's see. I got some quick hits. Shannon Sharp fired from ESPN. We're not going to stay long on that. We're not going to stay long on that. We're not going to stay long. You might have to cut me off at some point. No, we're not going to stay. You might have to cut me off. No, we're not. I'm going to give you about five minutes on Shannon. Because honestly, I'm going to keep what I got to say simple, bro. He should not have been fucking around with a 21-year-old, 20-year-old, bro. Fucking pervert, dude. Yeah, bro. Honestly, he on some Drake shit too, bro. I hate to say it, honestly. Yeah. Bro, when a nigga like Lil Yachty tells you to your face, you need to stop messing with young girls. That's weird. Yeah, I fucked with Shannon Sharp. I still watch his show every now and then. It's not the same, though. Only because that nigga was so horned up over... 20-year-old. No, that's why I couldn't watch him and Ocho, bro. Him and Ocho, they start getting into discussions about women, bro, and it just used to be gross sometimes, bro. He don't do that no more. Yeah, because I was like, nigga, you're fucking 50-something. I remember one time he said something about Meg Thee Stallion. Yeah, dude. And then he had her on her show like six months later, and he had to apologize. And that's what I'm saying. It's just fucking gross, bro, and I feel like it's important we just start calling that shit out. It's weird. Yeah, that's weird, bro. It's weird, bro. I don't even know an old man talking about I'm going to turn her leg clockworks like and that's what I'm saying too because when I think about like that type of shit right there we know that they're only going after these young girls for sex bro you know what I mean we know that's exactly what it's for and again these young girls are only with these guys for one other reason they don't like the conversation You know what I mean? They don't really like y'all niggas. They don't. So let's just call a spade a spade. Y'all are in there to get something out of it. Pop the Rose Park. Exactly, bro. Do what you do. She leave us some money. And that's just my biggest issue right there. Again, when you break it down like that, bro... It's loser behavior, bro. I think the text message got leaked. I think she said, what, 25,000 to cheat? Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. And when I really think about that, bro, that's loser behavior. 50 grand for some ass is crazy. It's crazy. I'll say it like this, too, bro. We knew cats like that, bro, who are our age, who don't have millions of dollars, but they were willing to pay hundreds of dollars. They were willing to pay within their economic class. They're going to pay for it. Yeah, and again, it's lame when they do it. So it's supposed to be cooler because Shanna Sharpe's a millionaire? Nah, it's even lamer, bro. Yeah, it's even lamer, bro. It's even lamer, bro, and it goes, it just makes me think about, nigga, the money's not gonna un-lame you, bro. But some niggas think like that. It's lame as fuck, and that's, bro, we need to, again, we just need to reshape our mindsets to when we see that, bro, we need to recognize, like, hey, bro, these are weirdos, bro. Bro, we're too old. Bro, me and you, we in our late 20s, and we think it's weird. Bro, I couldn't imagine talking to an 18-year-old. About what? Nigga, I'm about what exactly what are we gonna talk about exactly you need advice she talking about you know she talking about streamers about who her favorite streamer is bruh you need life advice I don't know what else to give you besides life advice I don't know what we're going to talk about. That's why I don't get unk. Like, bro, go get a family unk. And he can't. And he can't, though. And that's the thing, bro. And that's, again, which even leads into this. It comes back full circle. He's fucking lame because even women his own age, bro, know better. They see something lame within them. It's like Drake. It's like Drake. I'm always going to shit on Drake, bro. Again, Drake can't be with a woman his own age, bro. It's true, though. Yeah, to a certain extent, he has to go after these young girls who are naive, okay, who need something. Money. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Exactly, because women his own age are not going to fuck with him, bro. It never works, bro. Yeah, they see that, again, these dudes are fucking lame losers, bro. Drake then dated some of the most successful, beautiful women, bro, and not one of them took Drake serious. Yeah. They all started a family with somebody else. Yeah, yeah. And he had to go get, no disrespect to that woman, but a little online girl. Dating a porn star. Yeah, whatever. Cam girl, whatever the fuck. And that's still lame. That's lame because it goes back. I said it on a podcast. I said it on wax. Bro, this generation, bro, these motherfuckers and these labels and everything, they're trying to make cucking seem cool. They're trying to make, oh man, my bitch a porn star. They're trying to make that shit seem cool. Adam 16. Yeah, you're a woman does sex work and you're trying to frame it as that's cool. you the soft one yeah as oh I'm the insecure one because you know I can't handle I can't handle a woman who can't handle a little pee in your girl and that's bro that's part of that's part of what they're promoting at that oh shit stop bro you ain't lying though Again, you have to just start calling that out for what it is. These motherfuckers are lame, dude. Nah, they're lame, bro. They are lame, honestly. And Shannon Sharp is... He's on lame behavior, bro. Especially with those comments, bro, because I've seen somebody pull up some old tweets or something about him saying, you know, I'm going to make my children have to work for the money. There's no way I'm giving my children just free money, but you're going to give it to a porn star. For free. Yeah, you're going to give away generational wealth to a porn star because you can't stop thinking what's your penis, bro. He ended up giving her$20 million, right? Yeah,$20 million. Again, you can't stop thinking with your penis to the point to where you're going to give your money away to... You're a whore. You're retired to OnlyFans. Yeah, exactly. You're going to give your money away to a whore, but you can't give your money away to the kids, bro. You know, and that's, bro, that's the problem right there, too, bro. All that promotes, too, is this idea in the black community that, you know, our children have to get it out the money. How often have we heard that from celebrities, too? Oh, Shaq said that same stupid shit. It's fucking stupid, dude. It's fucking stupid. Shaq's like, I'm not trying to give him no job for free. But he's going to give it to the whores. Yeah. He's going to give it to the whores. And Shaq gives money to a lot of whores, too. And that's what I'm saying, bro. Yeah, Shaq gives money to them. Bro, and that's where I can't respect it, bro. You can't give money to your kids. They be in the whorehouses with the OnlyFans girls, with the porn stars. And it kills me, bro. It fucking kills me, bro. And it's like, but your kid can't get a$20,000 check to go to school. You know? You got to make him work for what? For what? He got to show you a business plan. Yeah, for what? He ain't asked to be here. Exactly. He ain't asked to be here. You chose to do it because you were a horny ass nigga. Exactly. That's why. You brought him here because you were horny, but now you can't even give him no money and you're still funding your horniness, bro. These niggas is diabolically horny, bro. Couldn't keep the marriage alive. That's what I'm saying. It's biblical level lust that we're seeing right now, bro. How do these niggas be cheating? The wife take them back and they still don't get it. Bro, that's what I'm saying. Biblical level lust. Well, she took you back four times. And it's just, it's nasty, bro. nah you ain't lying from the money to the women it's the lust is insane bro the lust is insane uh and i'm off nah yeah honestly bro i'm waiting on the bro shannon shannon he's too old for that bro i mean way too fucking old dude we're getting too old man we in the era where it's too old for me to even feel bad about it either i don't feel the point where it just makes me mad i'm just like i'm disappointed yeah i'm disappointed bro bro i'm this 100 million i didn't forget the deal we had on the table yeah I'm disappointed in him, bro, because that's supposed to be like a black figure we're supposed to learn game from. We learn game from him. I threw it away. No, and like, The more I think back on it, too, bro, it makes all his past antics even more nasty. When I think about him going on TV with the Henny and the Black and Milds, again, bro, you was just shucking and jiving, bro. He's a character. Yeah, bro, you was a minstrel character, bro. Let's be real, bro. Yeah, you was wearing the do-rags, the Henny. Fox was giving him a little change to play the character. Yeah, they wanted you to play the character. Now you're lost in that character. And then he stopped playing the character. And then he got fired. And it's just, bro, it's so fucking nasty. It's kind of still in him, though. Yeah, it is. That's who he is. It's kind of still in him, though. That's who he is, bruh. It's kind of still in him. It's kind of nasty, sadly. Gilbert Arena is arrested. Man, he ain't do nothing. He'll keep it pushing off that. He'll just keep it pushing, bro. We'll keep it pushing, bro. We got shit. UFC. You're talking about Kevin Hollins. I want to talk about UFC right here. Yeah, okay. UFC... Dustin Poirier and Max Holley, they fought like a month ago. We're late. But with Dustin retiring, one of my favorite fighters, I wanted to ask you, bro, who's like the best fighter to never be Undisputed Champion? So got like Dustin, got like a Chell Sonnen. Rampage wanted. Rampage wanted. Yeah. Fuck. That's a tough one. I think of like a... A Gufferson. Oh, yeah. Gufferson, whatever. Yeah, he has some good awards with Jon Jones. Yeah, there's some guys out there who has some. It has never got the, never got. I guess Robert Whitaker won it, actually, huh? He was on the speed. Yo, Romero. Yo, Romero. There's some guys out there who never was. That's a good one. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yo, Romero, bro. That has never got over the hump. That's the dude who's nicknamed Soldier of God, right?

UNKNOWN: 1:11:25

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:11:29

The Unlimited, the Bulldog right there. Never been dropped. That's the Bulldog. Bro, all you got, all those guys you just named, bro. That's like, damn. Yeah, because Yoel Romero, bro. I was a boogeyman for a little bit. I was a boogeyman for a little bit, bro. And he was always just in that, like, top five, bro. Like, again, one of those gatekeepers. You got to get past him to get to the champ. Yeah. Even, I mean, I don't know if he's going to retire. I mean, but. At the moment, I put like Derrick Lewis in there, sadly. At the moment, I got a guy like Paul Acosta in there. I don't know if I got Acosta. Not yet, not yet. I don't know. He needs some more wins. Yeah, bro. That's fair. Especially, bro, all the controversy, him not making weight all the time. It has been a lot of nonsense. It has been a lot of bullshit sometimes, bro. I don't know if I'm a player. That's fair. But yeah, I was thinking about it. I was like, damn, bro. Dustin never was technically a, he never got to, you know, unify the belts, but he was a good fighter though, man. Great fighter. Yeah. I don't know why I'm thinking. And some of the guys I am thinking about, I'm like, no, they held the belt. Even if it was just one time, they got it. I'm thinking about like Cerrone, bro. He had the belt. Yeah, he had the belt briefly. Because I was even going to go to Rashad Evans, but I forgot he had the belt. I forgot he beat Forrest Griffin. He had the belt. Yeah, I'm so like, he beat Forrest Griffin. Yeah, there's some guys who touched the belt very quickly. But they did. Yeah, they did it though. So I was like, wait, he did win, huh? Did Yuri have the belt? At this point, I can't even remember, bro. I'm like, did Yuri have the belt? Yeah, he did. He got hurt, remember? Oh, okay. It's like Jamal Hill. It was so fast. Yeah. And they both got hurt right after. Yeah, because Yuri might be one of them guys. Like, if it wasn't for Perea, bro, Yuri might have had the belt for a while. Yeah, I'm with you, bro. He might have had the belt for a while. I think not for Perea. I think Yuri goes on, like, a five fight. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like what Pantelja's doing down there. Yeah. Because Yuri, bro, Yuri got a different style, bro. I like Yuri. Yeah. Shit, honestly, speaking of Yuri and his fights coming up, well, this weekend we got the big, big boy. We got DDP versus Tom.Kamai. He's finally back, you know, COVID-free finally. Yeah. That's going to be a good fight. Who you got, man? I got Combo. South African Prince? I got Combo. Oh, my fault. Don't even talk about it. Don't even talk about Keno Wakanda like that. Bro, this still makes me so mad, bro. Oh, my God, bro. He really choked out Izzy. I'm so mad. He choked out Izzy. He won fair and square, bro. That's why it pisses me off so bad. He won fair and square. It pisses me off so bad. He's so unorthodox. He's so unorthodox, bro. because he's crazy tough bro he had 99 toughness right yeah honestly 99 toughness and that style really is I understand how just awkward it is bro I don't know how you defend it it's so odd bro he throws punches from weird points bro he changed 99 toughness bro yeah I guess when you yeah I guess he gets hit when he's getting in there but it's like bro he's going he's gonna do what he wants yeah I'm with you though bro I think I think he gets choked out this week yeah because again I think um bro Hamzat bro He's a different animal, bro. He's just so tenacious, dude. He's so tenacious. I always know that first round, bro, is... Bro, I better hope DDP can make it out the first round, bro. Exactly. Because I know DDP can't out-wrestle him. If we're being for reals, I feel like... Hamzat, he's definitely a better striker, too, as well. He's gotten way better at striking. He's gotten way better. I feel like the only way DDP could win this one, bro, it has to be Kamaru Usman's style. He has to make it third round. And once you get past that third. Yeah, if he can't get into the championship rounds with him, bro. He's going to lose. Yeah, he's going to lose, bro. Yeah, I'm with New, bro. We get a new champ this weekend. Hamzat within first or second round, if it makes it. third or beyond bro i got bdp yeah i'm bro i think i got the same thing bro if it goes through to beyond bro it's it's the king of africa again uzman was right there bro if it would have been two more rounds bro uzman had it he was tired yeah but again because that wrestling's so tenacious though bro he's so he's so vicious with it seven takedowns and he shoots from fucking bro the other side of the octagon anywhere bro side of the octagon i mean i respect it i respect it yeah uh i don't know what's on that card i suck right now no that card's stacked bro let me cool it up is that the color roundtree card that card is stacked no color roundtree is not on that that's the next one the route roundtree eerie yeah i think so okay i'm mixing up my cards 19 i'm mixing oh larone murphy versus uh oh pico i like that fight bro It is a good card. No, I fuck with Lerone Murphy, bro. I like Lerone Murphy, bro. He has potential to be the champ at some point. Is he undefeated? Yeah, undefeated, bro. He has a draw. He's underrated, bro. He has a draw. Yeah, I definitely feel like he could be the champ at some point in the future, bro. Not going to go up against him, bro. Not going to root against him. Yeah, Pico gets another fight. That's interesting. And then Prates versus Jeff Neal. I love Jeff Neal. That's a fighter. That's a fighter right there. He's going to come to fight. I don't know if he's going to win. He's going to come to fight. You're going to come to fight, bro. There's someone else I like on there, too. I got Protes, though. You do? Yeah, so next one after that is Cannoneer versus MVP. That's what it was. Oh, the gorilla. uh yeah i don't know man that's a tough one for me i think i think mvp's taking it bro i just think it's too much that that style is too different it is different you know it is different but the one thing about ken near is he got powers in his hand he does he's slow though he's yeah he does but mvp bro he has really uh he's hard to touch bro so hard it's hard to touch he knows his angles bro he knows he knows what people are gonna try to attack bro and he like again it's obvious he leaves that that front leg out so much bro and people can't take it out though yeah he knows you know He knows. And one thing about him, bro, his distance control is so well. Yeah, very high fight IQ, bro. Very high fight IQ. That's a good fight. And just, again, he's one of them cats. So I just wish he'd put his hands up a little more. Yep. Hate it. No, because honestly, we're getting close to the point where it's like, MVP versus Kamzat. That sounds like a terrible matchup at the moment. You know what I mean? Honestly, he beats Kenanir. I mean, who is he going to fight next? He has some good wins, bro. Whitaker? Who do you give him next? He has some good wins. Whitaker just came off a loss, though. MVP Paulo? What do you do if he wins? I think MVP Whitaker. Yeah, MVP Whitaker. I think Whitaker, bro. Whitaker has very good fight IQ, too. Yeah, that's true. It kind of gives Whitaker a chance to bounce back, too, if he wins. That's true. And then last one on the main card, Tim Elliott versus Kai Asakura. Ooh, the old man. Yeah. versus that's the young Japanese kid they signed. I'm taking the young bull, bro. I'm taking the young bull. Even though he lost against Pantoja. Yeah, that's Pantoja, bro. Pantoja, he's up there. He's eventually, bro, a few more fights, Pantoja's in that go conversation, bro. He bought two three-way, honestly. Yeah, bro. That's a really good card this weekend, bro. It's a really good card. That's stacked. We haven't had a good card like this in a while because even they got Bobby Green on the prelims, even though I can't stand Bobby Green, bro. I love to watch him fight. I can't stand Bobby Green, bro. One thing about him, he don't get slept. Are you sleeping with somebody? Are you sleeping with somebody? And I love that about him. I love that about him, bro. I can't stand Bobby Green, bro. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. And then they even got fucking Brian Battle in the early prelims, bro. I fuck with Brian Battle, bro. That's on the prelims? Yeah, I like Brian Battle, bro. I like Brian Battle, too, bro. Honestly, that's a good card. Shit, honestly, that's a really good card. Shout out to UFC, bro. I mean, now that we're here, too, though. uh ufc did sign a new deal uh for 7.7 billion dollars for seven years with a paramount plus uh kind of you know ending the whole pay-per-view model is over after you know 25 plus years pay-per-views Good. Hip reviews is over. Newman, how do you feel as someone who spent that$80 a few times? I'm glad it's done with, bro. I'm glad it's done with, but at the same time, I feel like we're opening up a whole new can of worms that we're not willing to deal with. Yeah, because they're going to raise that price to$29.99 eventually. I feel like it's even going to be more than that. Eventually. I feel like they're going to be on the same bullshit as NFL. If you want one of those NFL packages on one of these streaming services, bro, that shit's expensive, dog.$40 a month? Yeah, yeah. Yeah,$40 a month. And again, you're already seeing the quality of cards that they have for the UFC. It's like hit or miss, bro. You get one or two good cards and then followed by fucking three or four throwaways, bro. Yeah, and that's why I'm kind of interested. They promise, now they're calling them marquee events. So the 13 marquee events and 30 fight nights. It's interesting to see how that plays out next year. But yeah, I mean, I guess the one good thing sometimes is shit would be like straight up on CBS so like you just wake up if you got you know cable whatever you put on CBS like normal kind of like watching like a football game I think that'd be kind of cool yeah I think it would have been better bro I don't know how I feel about the monthly like the monthly subscription because again I feel like it's going to cost an arm and a leg you think they're going to raise you up like that yeah bro because I wouldn't be surprised if they try to do it like NFL type of shit with the like Sunday ticket bro and all that shit bro that shit's expensive as fuck dude or like League Pass and all that, bro. And I wouldn't be surprised if they try to frame it like that, dude. Yeah, in my mind, bro, I felt like they would have been better off making just$20 pay-per-views, bro. They would have just sold way more. I think they're going for eyes, though. Because they said some of those events are going to be free on CBS. I think they're going for eyes now. Okay. I mean, we'll see, bro. I mean, if what I'm assuming is going to be like the NBA model, the more eyes you have, bro, the more merch you can buy, the more events get sold out, the more events you can have. So maybe it's what they're going for. I don't know. It works for the NBA, but the NBA is also the NBA. You know what I mean? NFL is the NFL. But that's what I think they're trying to get to that big boy step. I mean, again, they've already ruined it with the... I'm not going to say ruined it, but they're already doing their own fucking thing with the marketing and everything. They don't let fighters market their own fucking brand. Yeah, they do kind of already taint it. Again, at that point, they should have been had like the fights more just affordable, bro. Yeah, facts. You know? Yeah, it's true. Doing all this bullshit with brands that nobody gives a fuck. Venom. Who cares about fucking Reebok, dude? Reebok is... dumb as shit dude i don't know anybody who even cares about reebok outside of they're finally at the end of that deal going back to venom finally yeah or are they still working with the rock too yeah they are working and that's stupid as fuck too bro that's stupid as fuck yeah honestly i think i think letting fighters not work with their own brands is stupid all right let's be real bro i mean they're not gonna do it but i think like not working with their brand like adidas nikes keep it real bro not working with the big dogs it's hurting it's hurting the brand yeah let's keep it real fighters bro i really just missed the old school days bro where you just let the fighters had their own shorts. John Jones with that Nike symbol on his shorts. No, that's what I'm saying, bro. Those were the days. Those were the good days, bro. Yo, I got Newman said, I keep seeing Dana in the new, because Paramount did just merge with Skydance. So the new CFO was saying how like, they want to, you know, acquire new content and supposedly, you know, they want people to just come to their place, not just for like shows. So we'll see if they keep this. I mean, I think it's$7.99 right now with ads. I don't think it's going to be$7.99 with ads. I'm not believing. When January 1st comes, but we'll see. I'm not believing it, bro. Because all these, bro, all these apps, bro, have been raising their prices just slowly, bro. And the thing is, they're not going to get me, bro. At this point, bro, it's gotten to the point where I don't care if you raise it one fucking dollar, bro. I'm out of here. I'm out of here, dude. You gotta come to the stream side, bro. You gotta come to the stream side. Yeah, I need to get the box, bro. Yeah, I come to the stream side. At this point, bro, I only pay for like two subscriptions now. And I want to say it's what, like HBO? and then maybe peacock i want to say i got like free peacock but they're talking about like they try to package raising the prices on peacock too and i'm like dude i'm not fucking doing that yeah they are i'm not doing that bullshit like honestly again i'll just find something else to watch i just went to the box i was like bro honestly why i was like it's on the box what's the point because again there's no shows out right now that i really have me like pumped up to watch bro the only shows i really was fucking with that like that I would tune in on a weekly basis to, bro, was From and Severance, bro. I can't lie. All the shows I was tuning in fucking with was on Paramount+. And you see, if that's what it was, bro, if I did have a bunch of shows on one app, then yeah, I probably would purchase it. And that's why I'm not mad about the UFC merger. Because for me, I was fucking with Tulsa King. I was fucking with the... What was my girl? Lioness. I was fucking with Lioness. And then I was fucking with Tracker. Honestly, I like Tulsa King, bro. Tulsa King was good. Yeah, Tulsa King. I mean, it's cool to see Sylvester, like, a second win, bro. Yeah. It was sad to see Bruce Willis go out with all-timers. Like, you know what I mean? He can't act no more. It's tough to see someone like the OGs go out like that. But to see Sylvester still there with the gray hair. Yeah. Still kicking it. Like, okay, that's Rambo, nigga. Like, nigga, that's Rocky. Still kicking it. Like, that was cool, man. It was. They see Bruce Willis all shriveled up, man. Can't speak no more. And everyone in the family posts a picture. It's like, damn, man. That was the man, bro. Talk about an action hero in the 80s. Yeah, bro. That was an action hero. So it's cool to see the old cats every now and then. But yeah, man. Honestly, me personally, I do like Paramount+. But I'm with Newman. It's going to be$25.99 by the time. And I'm not paying that, bro. I'm not. I'm sorry. But we'll see. Hopefully not, bro, because they keep trying to say no. They're going to keep it the same. It's about eyeballs, so we'll see. It's way too many things I got to pay for, bro. Facts. Oh, shit. I got to go soon. You see Instagram updated? Locations are going to be soon now? Yeah. Turn that shit off? Yeah, bro. Who's using that, bro? Yeah, Snapchat did that fucking thing. 10, 15 years ago. Yep. Yep. Oh, I wanted to ask you, I mean, me and you are both taken, so we didn't got to worry about nonsense like this, but you see that dating app, the T data breach, the dating app where the T was for women to go in there and talk about men, how they suck, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. You seen that stupid app? I heard about the app. Do you see it backfired on them? What happened? It was a data breach. So, like, all of, like, the women's, like, driver's license and, like, social security number was, like, on the internet. Ah. A lot of girls was going on there and just, like, being dickheads. Like, they wasn't even giving, like, real reviews. They're like, oh, his breath stinks. So, you know what I mean? They're just being dickheads. Yeah, bro. Girls going there is being assholes. Breath stinks. So, you was kissing him? You was kissing him? Yeah. Girls don't go on as being assholes, but I thought that was funny to see it backfire. Y'all thought y'all was going to go rag on men for no reason that y'all dated in the past. And look at the data breach. I had to get off the... Even before I was in a relationship, bro, I got off the dating apps a while ago, bro, because it was just some money grab. Facts. Some money grab. They want the men to pay for the premium, bro. And then on top of that, a lot of girls was just there for the attention, bro, is really just, you know, Helping them get their thrills. Or they got cash up in their bio. Exactly. Exactly. They getting taken on a free date. Yeah. For a lot of people. And it's just, you know, it just wasn't for me, bro. Yeah. It just wasn't for me. And it goes back to the thing. I even want to tie it back into like Shannon Sharp, for example. Oh, yeah. I felt like that type of stuff was really promoting the type of culture of paying people. For the poom poom. Yeah. You know what I mean? Again, like you said, with the cash apps and the bios, again, it really was pushing this expectation of men having to spend money, you know. If you want to spend money in general. Yeah. You know what I mean? Even for a good date. Yeah. That definitely was the vibe. And again, that's what I didn't. One of the reasons why I got off of that was that's what I felt like I was competing with. on, on the dating apps, bro. Cause again, you're true. I know I'm cooler than a lot of these, these niggas in real life. You know what I mean? But you got these niggas they're leading with their money on the app. You know what I mean? I can't, I can't deal with that. You know, so it was one of those things to where it's like, there's no reason that, you know, I'm getting put into this category. That's what I also felt too. Like when you even match with a girl, they were already, they've met so many dudes who was just trying to throw money at them, this and that, that you have, that's an obstacle that you had to overcome in chit chatting with girls. Like, Hey, I'm here for the right reasons, this and that. Because again, the market is just so saturated with dudes just trying to money. Yeah. Dude's trying to flaunt cars, trying to, you know, pay, pay for the women, you know, niggas lying about they height too. Our niggas pull up with the eights. So I'll roll a blunt for you. And that's what it was. It was really, yeah, it was really, again, it was a lot of niggas out there tricking off on women, bro. And again, I didn't even like being, you know, thought of as being in that category, bro. I had too much pride. No, I'm with you, bro. Too much pride. I'm not tricking off on y'all, bro. I'm with you, bro. On the project, man, it's episode 71, bro. We back. Yes, sir. Honestly, we got some content on YouTube. We got Coach Newman. Newman's been training me for the past month.
