to be mature now. I'm talking to him

like communicate like I learned in

couples therapy. Hey man, why you doing

that? Why do you keep hitting me? Shut

weekend. Last night, couldn't wait to

drop that little demon off. A terror, a

menace. And I said, "You know what?

Tomorrow, I'mma do what I hate to do.

I'm going just call his mom. See if we

can get some consistent consistency in

both households. see how she's dealing

with this. I got to see how she's

dealing with this. I know that she just

had a baby. You got a sister over there.

You can't just be running around hitting

on everybody. I think me and Sing going

to have a nice mature adult talk about

how both households could join together

and fix the problem. Yo, did you ever

see the meme? He might be 10 times worse

at 10 times. That's what I was thinking.

Listen, it's a meme going around. It's

funny on the internet. It'll be like,

"Yo, the the It's funny on the

internet." No, my man. Explain to me.

Yo, dog. The father be like, "Yo, do

XYZ." And the little girl start tearing

up. And then the mother say, "Do XYZ

10,700,000 times." And the little boy be

like this. You know, they don't give a

[ __ ] [ __ ] They scared of you. They

not scared of the mom. I'm worried. I'm

worried about the the her household, the

kids in school, my wellbeing.

She call and say, "Wait, he's doing what

over there?" He don't do that. That

behavior is non-existent. Oh god. I've

never seen I've never seen that before.

Actually, he listens over here. He's

very well behaved. So, what is happening

over there? I'm like, you got to be

[ __ ] kidding me. It could be

reversed. Got it. Yeah. So, then she

says,

"Yo, I'm going have a talking. I'mma

larger crew, so I had to get more. So,

shout out to Jazz from Live Nation

because she filled in the blanks. Um,

but I was the crew just grew. So, you

needed more than the four tickets that

Mark got you? He actually got me five.

How many did you need? You needed more

than the five tickets that Mark gifted

you. Yes. I ended up needing 10. and

media passes. God, but it ended up

working out just fine. It was great.

Okay, sounds like it. Yeah, it was so

muddy out that they had a couple extra

tickets. No, no, that is not what

happened. So, shout out to the organiz

organizers of the uh Roots Picnic.

Saturday was a [ __ ] [ __ ] show. The

rain, it was cold, it was blowing in

sideways. They didn't let anybody in for

like a, you know, they delayed letting

people in for 3 hours. People were

standing in line. Anybody who [ __ ]

soldier through that, like more power to

you. That [ __ ] was crazy. Um, but what

when did the other people get invited?

Like, cuz you didn't have no tickets.

I'm not over that. You're not just going

to squeak. You started with zero

tickets. How did the party amass to 10

even once you got five? Okay, so here is

the situation. I was not the only one

who had a beat on stuff. So, we were

kind of like working in tandem. So, my

other girl had like connect and then my

other girl had connect. So, we were just

kind of compiling resources and buying

tickets was just out of the question.

Absolutely. The [ __ ]

I answer your question, please. All

organization just the line separation.

It was [ __ ] I'm the rain. Y'all got

thing is they knew. Everybody knew it

was going to be rainy on that day. It

the forecast had been out for like over

the Jeezy concert. I was looking for you

and Missing Peace, but after what after

trying to get through the line, I was

like, "Oh, there's no way Ice would have

done this. There's just no way." Like,

one of my girls, she had a her boyfriend

was with us. We used him as a battering

ram and just just followed right behind

him and he got us right past everybody.

So anyways, we go see some men do have

uses sometimes. Yeah, you said it, I

didn't. Anywh who um went saw Jeezy [ __ ]

was lit. Went to the main stage. Gorilla

was performing. That [ __ ] was lit. Went

to compound. Went to Gold. Had a really

great time, but the weather just was a

lot. Sunday was much better. So we went

had a good time on Sunday. The highlight

for me was Lenny [ __ ] Kravitz. That

[ __ ] was amazing. He's such a rock star

and I was like flying by that point.

Shrooms, we I hope you fool high. You

will

never hope you really enjoy the Lenny

show.

Missy, you will never get back to 32.

You go.

My favorite [ __ ] about Mel is she has no

clue. She has no idea. She's just on a

cloud somewhere. That's my girl. Anyway,

you were saying so Lenny was to die for.

Lenny was lit. Lenny was was so

fantastic and it was just And that's

walking through. Nice. Yeah, it was it

was great regardless of the weather. I

kind of actually liked it because of the

weather cuz it gave a real Woodstock

vibe. That's the quickest remix I ever

heard.

Wait for a week or something. Go ahead.

Hit them all with a little preview of

the remix. It was giving It was giving

went It went really well. Um Yeah. And I

had a little bit of a misconnection,

too. We That's what we keep saying.

That's what we see. We keep trying like

that. You wear it. But anyway, go ahead.

Yeah. There was this guy and he was

like, he was just sitting there. He was

so cool. He was dressed in all black. He

was smoking a cigar and he knew every

single Lenny Kravit song, word for word.

I was like, "Wow, he looks so cool. I

want to talk to him."

I feel like I remember a similar story

from last year's Respect.

Yeah. But this time it wasn't my ex. I

actually did not know this man. Okay.

Yeah. So, you didn't go and say hi? No,

because you know, because he was vibing

so hard to Lenny Kravitz. I just didn't

want to be the person that interrupts

your [ __ ] vibe. Weren't you vibing?

He was vibing. I was vibing, too.

But I No, that's how the festival love

circuit goes. Next thing you know,

you're tongue kissing at the festival.

Yeah.

I wanted him to have his vibe. He was

having my vibe and then I was going to

talk to him afterwards, but he booked it

out. I was like, "Okay, misconnection,

whatever." That was it. That was my

time. Maybe he watches the show and

he'll see this. I think that's exactly

what we just saw. It was a Craigslist

misconnection ad on the biggest

broadcast in uh in the world. I ain't

saying [ __ ] stupid ass fan. Stop

So I missed all the all the dope stuff.

So that was it for me. Well, there's

always next year. That's true. Yeah, I

have plenty of tickets next year. To the

neck. They all stand right in my pocket.

Right to the neck. Won't distribute

these. That's crazy. Yeah. Well, what

needs our attention most? There's plenty

to discuss. My cash didn't go. My cash

app. Oh, for sure. That's a fact. That's

a fact. Let's get that. Wait, what was

y'all's bet again? That the Knicks would

lose. Here we go. Send that thing right

over. Damn it. What's your name on here?

Uh, Dr. Mark. Look for whoever you sent

whoever sent you 5,000. No, I see it.

Slowly

back.

Let's see if he hit his limit yet. Oh

yeah. Waiting out a lot. That's his bag.

It's just

crazy. Me too. Immediately I sent it.

You know what I learned about myself? I

don't like paying immediately.

We don't Not only do I not like paying

immediately. I'm doing a closeup of his

face right now. I don't like y'all more

when y'all are right at my doorstep at

12:01 for the money you're owed.

I don't I'm sorry. That's part of the

the about the Celtics series. Of course,

I dubbed it. I dubbed it. I'm cool, dog.

I just want to enjoy the game as a fan.

But then by the time we beat them, I was

feeling myself when he hit me again

about the

Pacers. I said, "Put it all on the

line." I hate when you ask somebody too,

"Yo, what we doing?" And they say, "I

don't know. You big money." And no, no,

no. Just let's do a nice little

gentleman gentleman bet. Anyway, man,

soon as that he hit me, y my apple pay

still. Yo, dog. It's Monday. Like,

you look thirsty, but you want your

[ __ ] Part of it. That's part of the

[ __ ] talking. But that's the [ __ ]

talking, too. I just don't like it.

That's part of Yeah, that's what I'm

saying. That's part of the [ __ ] talking.

like making a [ __ ] pay. It ain't about

the money. I don't care about the money.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to donate

this $1,000 to uh to uh kids in New York

that need uh prom gear. Well, yeah, cuz

they wouldn't buy it. Who who wouldn't

take this and I'm ready for it and I'm

ready for it. But can I ask a question

though, please? Why you pay they bet so

fast?

You know, you know why? As opposed to

some other bets. What bets you talking

about? You had a bet with him. You had a

bet with me. You What bet I got with

you? Uh, it was some Oh, not a bet. It

was uh the the game [ __ ] whatever you

Last year shouldn't be so prominent on

your brain. Well, when I watch you turn

Okay, Joe, you stupid. Yo, I like that.

What do you mean? All of that was

just we look crazy a little bit like

what topic do y'all want to talk about?

Is there a topic that needs our

attention? How about that? Yeah. A lot

of topics need our attention. Real quick

is before we get into the the the

substance. This is Pride Month. Not that

it's not substantive, but I mean it's

Pride Month. Happy Pride. So, we should

say happy Pride to LGBTQ community. And

I have a a challenge to all of us. How

many months? I think [ __ ] is good.

Just Just June. No. Oh, wait. What else

is I may be wrong. Uh, it's men's health

month.

Yes, it's also men's health month. That

is true. Yes. But in terms of Yeah.

Sure. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah. Sure. Yeah.

Dismiss. Yes. I'm not doing it. I was

thinking for this episode cuz we we we

say pause a lot. For this entire

episode, how about we see if we go the

whole episode without saying pause.

Yo. And the first person that doesn't

makes a donation to to LGBT

organization. I think that's great. I

don't I don't agree.

No.

No. I'm down for the challenge. I think

it's I think it's an interesting

challenge. Can we still Snicker? I'm

insulted by the Do you think that we

can't not say Paws? I No, I don't.

Seriously? As a as an entire crew? Yeah,

they just directed the flip. No, I don't

think it's Flip. I'm saying as a crew.

Who else do you think can't say pause? I

say pause. Cannot say pause. Tell the

truth. All of us. Myself included. I

think that means everything. You going

take You going to take the challenge?

Yeah. Yeah. I don't view it as such a

challenge. I have no problem not saying

pause.

Can we still laugh if we say pause? I'm

going to say a bunch

of my lucky

challenge. I've been waiting for this

one. Yeah. I think it's you know. Yeah.

No, I'm cool. All right. Done. But

anyway, happy Pride Month. Happy Pride

Month.

And happy men's men's men's health

awareness. Oh, it's men's health

awareness month. Men's health. Yes. Oh,

happy men's health awareness month for

sure. Yeah, we should we should

definitely talk about that this month,

too. Dope. Mhm.

[Music]

Joe, we we talked about the bet, but

what we didn't talk about was how you

actually feel about the Knicks breaking

your heart like that. They didn't break

my

heart. They didn't break my heart. Let's

not get Let's not get That last game was

a little heartbreaking. I want to let

you have your No, I mean, you were

pretty intense about this. Nixon Nixon

seven, you know, we'll be the first team

to come back. Well, I'm I'm I'm going to

die our Nick fan. Yeah. When it's over

is when it's over. Okay. So, no

bitterness until it No, no, no, no, no.

Listen.

Well, I think I think that was a

winnable game. Let me let me start

there. That I do think that that was a

winnable game. And there's a lot of

people that didn't show up on the road.

A lot of damn transition points. Damn.

And that's the story of it. When you

give up that many points in transition

and that many points off

turnover was just there's nothing you

could do. So my takeaways, if I'm being

serious for a second, I think Jaylen

Brunson needs to find ways to impact the

game outside of scoring. Uh, and I think

that'll happen. I think there's a lot to

be said about Cat. I think us and the

Timberwolves kind of traded headaches a

little bit you think and we watched that

come to form with I think the best end

of the stick though. Same. There's a lot

to be said about Cat that I won't say.

Uh Muel Bridges fadeaways

uh in exchange for layups. I think that

needs to be talked about at some point.

The way Josh Hart disappeared, I think

needs to be talked about at some point.

Uh, I'm not so mad at Tom Tibido, Leon

Rose, or any of that. Even though I

could see how he has questions coming

his way. They could utilize the bench a

lot better in the game. You wouldn't

fire You wouldn't fire Tibido? No. Well,

hell no. I think if Mike Malone is

available. I think that's foolish. I

wouldn't fire Tibido if Phil Jackson was

available. Well, we should have never

hired Phil Jackson in the first place.

Not that Phil Jackson subject. Oh, the

good Phil Jackson. Like, yo, dog. I

don't think Tibido did a bad job at all.

Me neither. I think it's easy in

hindsight to to look and see where

somebody could have done better. For the

people that say that Tibido had an 82

game season to get some type of

chemistry with some of those ancillary

parts on the bench, you wouldn't be

wrong. When the Knicks were holding

auditions for either Shamut or what was

going to be uh Marcus Morris, Marcus

Mark, the good one, the Morris brothers,

the good one though is Marcus Marcus

Morris Jr.

Like I thought that those would be

important pieces for a playoff front.

Like them doing that. I felt like they

identified that too and just didn't for

some reason. I'm not with all of the

reports coming out after the fact of

Nick's locker room problems. I'm not

with that. I don't want to harp on the

negative because this is as a as a

lifetime Nick fan, this is the first

time in my life where I have attended a

first round series, a second round

series, and an Eastern Conference final

series in person. Like, that don't fall

short on me. This is back-to-back 50 win

seasons. Uh, they just did a lot good.

So, I don't want to be the guy I think

they were ahead of schedule. I don't

think they planned on this year going

like this. I think they'll tinker around

in the off season and we'll see what

happens next year. But my hat off to

them. Congratulations. I think all

Knicks fans are truly happy. I was a

little tired of seeing uh Tommy Shamlet,

Timmy Sham, whatever homeboy's name is.

I was sick of it, too. I was sick of it,

too. Now, he had the [ __ ] Pacer games

with the Jenner girl. He had the Nick G.

Yo, get this. Move. I don't care about

these orange and blue chrome marks.

Move. Move. Yo dog, it is I got hate in

me sometimes. No doubt. I don't want to

see all of that [ __ ] Hate's fun. What

else? What else about the Knicks that I

I didn't want to see for a little bit?

Some of the Oh my god. I think the

Knicks did had a great season. They did.

I think they overachieved most did your

best. Yeah, I think most fans would be

pleased with the season. I don't think

anybody had y'all getting out of

Boston when the season started. Listen,

let me just say it. The better team won.

I agree. I think that the Knicks I think

that the Knicks I think that the Knicks

I don't know that I don't listen but

they played I think that the Knicks are

a more talented team. I think top to

bottom coach on down I think they prove

to the Pacers prove to be a better team.

Listen [ __ ] sleep cuz we don't know

all them [ __ ] Haywood Workman head

ass [ __ ] Them [ __ ] is monsters. Nay

Smith is a sixth pick in the draft. Yep.

The [ __ ] that comes in after him was a

seventh pick. Mat Matt was the seven

figure. He had a bad series.

[ __ ] TJ, I'm happy. I'm happy for Miles

Turner. I'm happy for Seako. I'm

listening to [ __ ] uh uh Tyler Hen

talk. I like how he's talked. I like how

he speaks. So, it's some of them black

brothers over there. I remember when

Indiana wasn't looked at like that. So,

I'm happy for them, too. I'm happy for

the Knicks. All of that is awesome.

Uh hope we have entertaining finals. I'm

happy for Hallebert. I'm happy for him.

After that [ __ ] came out that they

ranked him like the most overrated

player in the league. I like him getting

his lick back on these things. Yeah.

Although he did look real salty. We

thought he was going to be MVP. Oh my

god. That's not a great moment. He start

stepping up like you got to be careful.

Don't spend the money before you get it.

True facts. Even though he had a case.

He did a great case. He had a case. He

did a great case. But I might

if he if he was that then the Knicks

win. If Seakkum don't go off like that.

Yeah. in all of those games. The Knicks

win. Yeah, the Knicks win. Um, how much

of this uh current iteration of the

Knicks is making it into like next

season? I know there's free agency and,

you know, offseason acquisitions and

trades and [ __ ] like that, but nobody

knows. Yeah, you won't know. Uh, Bridges

Bridges, y'all got somebody that's

Bridges is up for an extension. Okay.

Eligible for a 4year 150 mil somewhere

around that. But with Greek Greek Freak

and Kevin Durant lingering, I don't

think anybody is safe. M fact. So, let's

just see. The Knicks are said to want to

be aggressive in in free agency. Embiid

is available. I'm just let you know. I

can speak on behalf of my city. If you

want a nice little package, the broker.

Yeah. Yeah. Who would y'all give him

back?

We'll take this anybody. Spike Lee.

Just give us some Doritos or the Twix.

Right. Exactly. [ __ ] No, I think I

think the [ __ ] did a great job. I

don't think they got anything to hold

their heads over. Agreed. Um, and I

think they played the hell. Yo, one

thing what you can't take from them,

they play hard, dog. Every single game

they play hard. I think the

inconsistencies come. Um, and Indiana

was inconsistent. Seakum was having 40,

then he'll have nine. Yeah. Because that

that that just speaks to the depth of

your team that other [ __ ] could step

up on different days. If Matan get hot

or if Nate Smith get hot or whoever get

hot, they just going to carry the load

on that night. I think that's dope. We

do have uh a live reporter that went

down to 34th Street to hear from Nick

fans after the loss. I may have won, but

y'all come from Indiana. Like that's

kind of weird. We're from New York, so

we really take the double. You know that

part I want to come back in Indiana,

bro. We can lose to Philly. We can lose

to Chicago. [ __ ] it. Lose to LA to find

Indiana has our number for years in the

Midwest. [ __ ] is not good. I don't know

why anybody is smiling during those

days. Tyrese Hallebert, I hate your dad.

[ __ ] joke. Adam Silver, what is his

name? Adam Silver, suck my [ __ ] dick.

The Knicks are losing because of

Hallebert selling his soul, man. Big

Chevy. It ain't over. During the dance,

I see people smiling and doing '90s

disco. Are you [ __ ] kidding me? We're

down 20. It was a lot of [ __ ]

Questionable calls, bro. Aaron in these

devil magic ass. This is some BS. How

the [ __ ] you call four fouls in 9

seconds? That was I don't know what they

were doing tonight. The refs were

cheating. Listen, enough of them for a

second. Listen, on one hand,

congratulations to Indiana. We got a

show to do, so I don't want to harp on

this. Uh, I do want to hit the round of

applause and say congratulations to

Indiana. In order to learn how to win,

you got to learn how to

lose. And they've been here before. This

is the Knicks first conference final.

The Pacers have been here for a few

years. It's their turn now. You want to

tip your hat to those guys.

On the flip side of

that to Mike X,

Zire Teague, any of the rest of you

[ __ ] Yeah,

it's still y'all. It's still Indiana.

You stupid. Yo. Oh my god. If I if we

had to trade

and y'all got all the accol basketball

accolades and we got none, but we get to

be in New York and you get to be in

Indiana. Like it's still tumble weeds

and soy beans out there.

It's still corn starch. What else is

happening out there? Milk. Probably

y'all are the least known sport out

there. It's the

Colts, WNBA, the

Indy500, high school basketball, college

basketball, and then you [ __ ] So,

let's just tight taper it down.

Relax. Y'all are still y'all,

but y'all still y'all

Rick Carile talking about something.

What the [ __ ] did he say? And then we

can move on. He said in 49 states it's

just basketball. In one state it's just

basketball. Like shut up. Shut up.

Brick. I love that. I like that. He

right though. Shut up. That's all them

[ __ ] do. [ __ ] That's what Anyway,

congratulations Indiana. Y'all still

It's still Indiana though. [ __ ] ain't

even got a Shake Shack out there.

[ __ ] ain't got no bodeas.

[ __ ] got them bland [ __ ] Anyway, all

right. Let me shut up. Anyway, moving

on. got a mail on your phone again.

Moving on. Yeah, the the internet is has

been crazy the last couple days about

this Vanessa Bryant story. I know y'all

have heard it at this point. There was a

rumor going on for the last like three

or four days that Vanessa Bryant, uh,

the widow of Kobe Bryant was pregnant.

Then there was another rumor that she

was not only pregnant, but potentially

pregnant by a young baller, basketball

player. Young ball. That was the quote

that was in the on the news. It said a

young baller. Uh I'm assuming they meant

basketball player. And fortunately uh

earlier uh in the week, Vanessa came out

to clear up the rumor. She said, "I'm

enjoying my summer, not pregnant, you

know, basically like I'm ignoring the

rest of the rumors." So we know that

part's not true. What's interesting to

me though is people's reaction to it.

Like people were been out of shape,

especially dudes were like really really

been out of shape at the idea that

Vanessa Bryant could be pregnant. I even

saw I flip I seen your uh your tweet uh

you were like it better been if she's

pregnant it better be from like some

like old I mean it's Kobe man a frozen

egg I mean it's an unspoken rule you

know amongst in in the in the community

I mean the rule what community listen

the community that I'm from okay and

that and in his community yes and the

rule is I mean of

course in in life she can she's supposed

to move on she can live her life and

stuff like that I It's been 5 years and

all that and and that's her choice if

that was true. But [ __ ] when it comes

to morals and principles in our minds,

[ __ ] and whatever mental world that

I'm in, [ __ ] I'm not. That's Kobe,

[ __ ] But what's the moral? I don't

want to see you move on. I don't want to

see her move on. I don't want to see

Laura London move on. I don't want to

see y'all move on. Do that [ __ ]

privately. So, they're supposed to walk

around in public with black veils and

black dresses and just be in a constant

state of mourning for the rest of their

lives. Well, that's extreme, but I would

want your business to be private because

we still hold these guys in high regards

in our mind. In my

mind, even though they can do it, it's

just like, a damn girl, you did that and

it's been 5 years. If that was the case,

but it's not. You know, sound crazy,

right? That's insane. Dude, I'm crazy.

Hey, what the [ __ ] can I say? I'm crazy.

And this ain't some What's interesting

to me is that it's not just some like

flip [ __ ] right? It's not just you.

It's everybody. like it's a a big chunk

of the internet was saying the same

[ __ ] They were like calling her all

kinds of hoes and Jesus Christ. Yeah,

but I I don't agree with that. I think

that you know that's not what No, I know

you're not saying that, but I'm just

saying the idea that she did something

wrong and she's violating some cool. I

wanted to kind of know first when Kobe

died again

like January. Yo, that dog. Yeah, dog.

There's a lot of people that have

problems with widows moving on for some

reason. I've seen that I've seen that in

nonseleelebrity circles. As I'm saying,

it's my sister lost her husband and

people in the community were weird when

she got well his boys like how dare she,

right? Listen, this is a million little

things and Land Man. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

obviously Land Man, but it's a million

little things for sure. Land Man. Land

Man was so bad. It's next on my list.

And but yes, it is. What' you say? I I

don't remember that happened in Land

Man. In Land Man when dude that worked

the the the [ __ ] uh died and his wife My

[ __ ] that's different.

How? It was a week later. Two weeks

later. It didn't take that long in a

million little things either. I think in

most cases I'm familiar with it happens

because somebody is there to console you

over your loss. They become different

too though. So it happens a little fast.

How the best friend.

Yo, I'm a Is that Is that a no for you?

The best if Yes. It's not a no for me.

It's I don't know if that's a no for me.

It's not a no for me. A lot of times

that is exactly what happens because the

best friend was the closest, you know,

like or if it's your best friend,

typically he got some of your same

characteristics or he shared some I'm

laughing, but I'm with him. He's right.

It do sound funny cuz it cuz in in a

nigga's mind, it's the best friend was

was was thinking about this while you

still here. You dead. You ain't got no

mind. You dead as hell. I'm talking

about [ __ ] mind [ __ ]

brain [ __ ] brain show your truth you

saying outsiders right on I want my

[ __ ] to set it off on you [ __ ] right

I see [ __ ] saying Stevie Jay was wild

for marrying Faith

why cuz he worked with big before

because of the the whole big

relationship but usually in friend

circles that's crazy to me you have like

the same kind of political beliefs maybe

or just general view of the world at

least to some level [ __ ] uphold a lot

of stupid beliefs

Some of this some of this [ __ ] is just

stupid, man. Move on. Don't move on with

my best friend. I don't give a [ __ ] what

y'all talking about. Ask somebody else.

If your best friend is the person that,

and I'm not I'm not advocating for this.

I'm just No, I'm just saying. But if

your best friend is the person that

makes your uh uh makes the wife feel

better and is the best option for your

family moving forward, then why would

you be so against it? I'm all you

[ __ ] Go freeze. I'm there. Every

dream.

And hold on. Listen. I have a friend. I

have a friend who Wait. And it's

happening in your friends and neighbors.

And it's happening in your friends and

neighbors. What's that? What are you

saying? On

on a show on Apple where Is that good?

Yes. I'm going watch it. Where the main

character, his baby mom's is in a

relationship with his best friend who

happens to be a still alive. Oh, no.

That's different. And they a blended

family.

It's a blended I'm with blended family

with blended family with blended family.

If I'm still here, don't [ __ ] with my

man. But if I'm gone, I think I actually

encourage because I I think that and I

think that that could happen

organically. I think that you your mans

could pass away or your or or or your

wife could pass away and you are being

the [ __ ] that they leaning on cuz you

think that's your duty. Like, yo, you

need some money, you need this, you need

that. I know he would have done those

things.

Do all that without [ __ ] my girl.

trying to step up to be uh uh present in

his absence. And that can be an organic

thing where she starts to like you or he

starts to like her. I hear you. I don't

think that that's I have a friend whose

father passed away when he was 6 years

old and his mother ended up marrying his

father's best friend. I don't know what

the length of time afterwards, but it

wasn't that long. He's carried this

inside his head for and resents his mom

as a result. I was like, "So, you've

been sinking with your six-year-old

brain trying to figure out the decisions

that this woman who was left widowed

with young children." Yeah. It's like

there's also like a sense of support

that a woman would I wouldn't want my

wife or baby mom to go out and deal with

all the [ __ ] in the street. Like,

there's a good man. Like, don't don't

mess with my like wild friends though.

Like, pick a good one. Like, pick a good

one. The solid one. Y some different

[ __ ] expected. But, but every cuz it was

a thing back in the days. I heard like

back in the days it was a thing where

the husband died, they're married that

the brother I read but that happens a

lot too. That makes sense. What year you

died, [ __ ] You died 5 years ago. Who

me?

I

slap. Has it been five years? You died

five years, [ __ ] Let me let me tell

you. Don't listen. I got to come hold it

down.

What you talking about real quick? You

know, you talking about me, [ __ ] I'll

kill you, [ __ ] I'll punch you in your

face like that, [ __ ] I don't give a

[ __ ] [ __ ] JR will fix you, [ __ ] J

will fix you, [ __ ] JR be happy to see

a familiar.

J will fix you. I'm joking, man. It just

It's just cuz we know some [ __ ] out

here are able to help the family without

getting in the bed with with the with

the girl. Wait. So, cuz I'm I'm

fascinated by these rules cuz even Parks

got a rule. You're like, you you're okay

with it as long as you're dead. Yeah. If

I'm dead, have a black. If you're alive,

you then No, she can't. We got all these

rules about what women can do with their

bodies. I got rules. Listen to what I'm

talking.

You will not listen to what I'm saying.

We will not let

you. That's exactly what it is. You said

she can [ __ ] You saying you can [ __ ]

him. You can [ __ ] him. You can [ __ ] him

if I'm dead. You can [ __ ] him if I'm

alive. What the [ __ ] is that? Tell me.

You guys are talking over what I'm

saying. Listen. Let's attack Mark one at

a time. One at a time. I'm fine with

that. Hold on. Hear me Let me make my

point for you disagree with it. Don't

talk over. I'm not saying I don't have

those rules, too. I'm saying that

they're [ __ ] up rules. I'm saying I

don't want my wife to [ __ ] my brother or

my best friend. But we're all No, I'm

saying But that's that is about

controlling what women do with their

bodies. Not using an example from a

woman's

I said the men and women. I said both.

You think that's wise? No, cuz most of

us don't have the same rule for the

other side. That's not true. I said for

both. I think I think it's the same. I'm

saying most of us most dudes I know have

[ __ ] their let me not say many dudes I

know have had sex with they with their

girlfriend's best friends or if they

wife would [ __ ] their best friend their

wife's best friend and you know what he

was plotting on her while she was here

which is the same [ __ ] that I'm saying

it don't make it right either way is

that against your ethics and morals and

principles and be clear a lot is that

against your ethics and morals and

principles question what is the question

if if if you flip

it if if you were to mess with your wife

if she would have passed away, god

forbid, her girlfriend. Yes. Or her

best, you know, best. Would that be

against ethics and rules and principles?

Yes. Why? It's still wrong. Why? Because

that was my wife's best friend. Oh, yes.

That's crazy to me. It's still wrong.

Regardless of Listen, double it's double

standard. Whatever we believe, it's

still wrong at the end of the day cuz

how would she feel? Would my wife want

me to move on? My But she's You wouldn't

slide your wife's best friend if

something happened to her. Bro, this is

not a joke. You thinking which thinking

which one is the best? No. No.

hilarious.

I would not I would not cuz you live by

principles and and and and certain

principles and morals that was instilled

in you even though you don't want to

identify it as principles and morals

that is instilled in us. That's what we

live by an unspoken rule and unspoken

respect amongst in a relationship

amongst your partner. You're not

supposed to [ __ ] if your wife passed

away. You're not supposed to [ __ ] our

best friend because that's just that's

just what it is. I'm not disagree. Even

when she alive with that part. This is

what I'm saying. I personally would not

because anybody who my wife considers a

best friend, I look at like a sister at

that point. There we go. So, for me,

it's it's that's and I don't it's just

like anybody in this room, any of y'all

ladies, I look at like family at that

point. I stopped looking at the one

lady. What' you say? There's only one

lady in the room. I said no y'all's

ladies. Our ladies copy copy copy. Okay.

Like I I look at So, I wouldn't even

think like that. And after they go, I

don't start thinking like that. Like,

oh, now they I get that. But what I'm

saying is if I were to make a different

choice, you met you met this lady. I'll

sleep one of y'all [ __ ] right now. If

I did, I wouldn't tell you. Oh, okay.

Just checking. Yeah. But the right Yeah.

I make it uncomfortable, [ __ ] I don't

care. Nobody's scared. I just

But but the point

is it's about ultimately it still

becomes about control. And and I find it

I find that we want to control what

people do. But Mark, this is what we

saying to you. Why you always speak like

you done found some epiphany while also

admitting that you're guilty of the same

[ __ ] You know what time it is? Because

why

selfar men? Oh, hell no.

Oh, hell no. Oh, it's called self

awareness. Being able to acknowledge

that you have fault but also and want to

be better. Want to work better. Exactly.

It's called self awareness. I know. But

you could do that while you could also

sound like you identify with that side

because you live

that right. I'm I'm not hearing the

identification in terms

of Yeah, I understand how that can

happen even though it sounds foul when

we verbalize. Yeah. And I'm doing that

so I don't seem like I'm talking above

the fray like I'm like I'm taking a

moral high ground. I'm saying I struggle

with that too. But it's a it's a dumbass

position to take that I might work with

work struggle with too. If my wife told

me right now, Mark, if you die, you

know, I could end up with your best

friend, right? Or or some somebody you

know, that [ __ ] would drive me crazy.

Even though it shouldn't [ __ ] matter.

Yeah, I know. We then we need to address

why she's telling you that.

That's fair. That's fair. You think

about this now. It's a typ It's a tough

hypothetical. I don't mean it that way.

I just mean if she if she initiated the

conversation, it hits different. But if

hypothetically she said, "Yo, if

something were to happen to me, I

wouldn't mind if you sought a

relationship with such and such." And

that could be her best friend. You

receive that differently for sure than

her saying, "Yo, I fuck." And I I I said

that wrong. I'll put it like this. If if

my wife were to ask me, "Mark, is

anybody off limits if you die for me to

date?" In my brain, I got a list of

people same way everybody in this room

do. But in real life, I would say no. I

wouldn't. And that's what I'm saying. I

would say no. I say my list. I'm saying

my list. I would say my list. Why would

you Why would you say that? Why would

you say that? This is also a clip from

Modern Family when they was on the

plane. They had this exact conversation.

I I would say no because I don't because

even though I have a list, one of the

greatest shows ever. This [ __ ] is my My

list would be Friends, some family, some

of my favorite rappers. There'd be a

list. Okay, I'm not even joking. And

Idris, [ __ ] that guy. Mars Chester.

Morris. Mars I ain't worried about. But

but that uh that what's the name? The

dude.

Which one? Whatever. The dude that was

at the Muslim banquet thing. Yeah,

he's top of the list, right? [ __ ] that

guy. But well, you just named three guys

who are very happily married. Idris, I'm

dead. Their wives could be dead.

Whatever the point, you know, all the

[ __ ] is happily married, baby. Yes, I

do. I had no idea at all. I absolutely

do. All right. The the the point is I'm

in that age range where I'm looking for

who's getting divorced. Anyways, go on.

Anyway, enough about it. Oh my Wait,

wait, hold up. Time out.

Holy [ __ ] Who is looking to get on

their second marriage?

She said I'm here for seconds.

I told you I told you I'm not editing

myself anymore. Go on. All right. I love

that. I love that. So So So tell me who

is on your So if your partner comes to

you and says right now, who's on the

cannot [ __ ] with you cannot [ __ ] with

them list after I die, who's on the list

for you? Everyone. No. I'm a free male.

I mean, I want to go back to why you

won't tell her to listen, though.

Because I don't think I'm right. I I

think I'm being giving you a question,

though. Yes. And I'm saying I don't

think it's a I don't think it's a

reasonable ask, even if she does. I

disagree. I'm saying I have a list, but

I don't think I'm right. So, you'd

rather lie to her? Yeah. Freeze. Freeze.

No, you rather pander and play

politically correct. Pander to who? It's

just two people in. That's not what

pandering means. I'm just saying I don't

want I want to do what I think is right.

Even if I think that it is a popular

opinion. Yo, dog. That's pandering. You

going You going I want to do what is

right even if it's popular. Did you see

that? I want to do what's right. You're

screaming for no I apologize. Listen

what I'm saying is No. No. That's not

pandering. No. Hold on. I said if doing

what you think is right is not

pandering. You're lying. No. I said you

are lying to your wife. She asked you a

direct question. You're saying what you

think. You gave a politically correct

response as opposed to telling what you

really feel. Listen to what I just said.

That's not a lie. Mark. You said I have

a list and I'm telling her no. There's

no list. That's not what I'm trying to

sell her my list. Let me tell you what I

actually said. She asked me who the

ropes

as if you just let me talk. You'll hear

what I'm saying. She said, "Who is off

limits?" Not who do you want to be off

limits? Who is off limits? And I'm

saying I have a list of people who I

want to be off limits. But I'm not going

to share that list because let me finish

because people do like this is an

interjection. So I'm saying I wouldn't

share that list because I don't actually

think that's the right list to share.

I'm going to do the right thing even

though it's difficult for me. That's not

pandering. That's me saying I'm going to

make a principal decision despite the

fact that she's giving me another

option. Mhm. Margo. Yeah. You said when

she asked you this question, you're

going to say nobody. Even though you

have a list this long. Yes. That's a

lie. It's not a lie. He trying to get

off. He's semantic. It's not It's not a

semantic thing. It's not. If you If you

say off limits verse who you want to be

off limits is what you're saying. Yes.

I'm saying I don't want I want the like

I want the whole world to be off limits.

But that's not fair. It's not fair. So

I'm going to do what's fair. That's not

a lie. This is a real conversation.

That's not a lie. Joe, if I said to you

right Joe, if I say to you right now, if

I say to you Joe right now, who's

getting f Joe? If I said who who are you

who are you who are you firing, right?

And you got to have a list a list of

people who you want to fire who you want

to say, right? Not here anywhere, right?

And you ultimately decide that you don't

you ultimately say I'm not going to you

don't let me not use that.

understand cuz I don't feel like

thinking it through. And you do too. We

just think he's lying.

How is that semantic? I don't

understand.

That's called nuance. I'm saying there's

lots of people I would want that I want

don't want my right to [ __ ] but I don't

think I have the right. You can't

correct yourself in real life. I'm

giving you the right to say that by

asking you who are the people you don't

want me to [ __ ] with? Who's off limits?

That is her saying, "Hey, you even if

you don't think you have the right, I'm

giving it to you cuz I would like to

know the people that you think would be

a question. I'm saying I and you're

going to say there's nobody off limits

even though in your head there's a lot

of people I would say." So he's lying to

himself. He's lying to her because he's

telling her as a direct question. Yeah,

but he just omitted. He That's what I'm

saying. If she says to me, "Mark, are

that [ __ ] rather not?" Purposeful

omission is a lie. I'm not I'm not

talking. I don't want you guys to be

circular. What I will say in terms of

what I think you're saying is

I take you at your word. I believe you.

Yeah, I do believe you. I think that has

to do I think I believe you more so on

what that stance does for your

appearance to your wife versus what you

saying. No, like when you say when you

say to your wife nobody.

Here's the thing. If I would ask my wife

that same question, she would have a

list and mean it and would tell me that

list. So, it's not like she's expecting

me to say nobody. I just think that

she's wrong. And I'm not going to do to

her what what she might I'm not going to

pose a rule on her just cuz she's

imposing the same rule on me because I

don't actually think that rule is okay.

Listen, brother. I don't ever aspire to

be as mature as you. You too you too

damn mature. But you can correct

yourself in real time. You

can't No, not what I'm saying. I agree

with you. You can't have a conversation

and in your in inside you can feel one

way, but when you're talking to your

wife, you just don't want to put that

cuz it's wrong. There's a lot of [ __ ]

that I have that conversation with Linky

all the time and I be dead wrong, but I

don't want to I don't admit it. Admit it

like Exactly, man. Like I be I know I'm

wrong in my mind, but I don't want to

have that debate. I don't want to put

that on her and I don't want her to put

that on me. So, let me ask you a

question in that line is if I were to

say or flip ice, if I were to say if she

says, "Who's living?" I say, "Well, you

know, I got would it be honest to say,

look, I got a lot of people in my head

that I don't want you to [ __ ] with, but

I don't actually think I should say that

to you cuz I don't want to put

restrictions on you. So, do what you,

you know, do what you want." That's like

meeting in the middle of the Is that

more transparent? That's middle. I'm

asking, is that more transparent? That's

you being honest. That's you being

honest, saying, "Yo, there is a list,

but I don't want to tell you the list."

Instead of saying, "No, there's no

list." I didn't say there was no list. I

Do you understand the difference between

saying there's no list? Let's That's not

what I'm saying. In closing, none of us

are leaving our partners and hopefully

our partners and none of us are having

these talks currently outside of me. I

ain't going to no them bars, baby.

Before we close, I just I had I just had

one question for Mark because I didn't

see the chatter obviously, but was there

a separation in the um attitude towards

this question between men and women?

Like did was did women have a different

stance collectively? They attacked me.

They say, "Oh, you want to control her

[ __ ] now?" All type of crazy stuff.

Now, women did this. Women did this.

Yes, women. They they And some men did,

too. Some women do that, too. And some

it it's probably middle. It's probably

to me, I saw a lot of women on the side

of she can do whatever she want. Let her

live her life. Women can be very judgy

in these situations, too. From my

personal experience, they absolutely

can. So, for them to say that, whenever

you sleep with every time I [ __ ] one of

their damn friends, they start judging

me. I'm once upon a time. You know what

time it is, right?

Yes.

Now it's time for my favorite part of

All

right. The clips did a GQ interview.

Really good interview, by the way. Yep.

Yep. Long. They did a lot of interview.

Long read. A lot of interview, but

certain clips started making the way

around. Uh, one being how Push feels

about Kanye currently, how he feels

about the Drake lawsuit, yada yada yada.

Which part do y'all want to unpack first

in this push [ __ ] Um, oh, and the Def

Jam out here on Rock Nation now because

the Kendrick verse, Def Jam wouldn't

clear it. Let me lead off. Go ahead. Def

Jam ain't been Def Jam since I was at

Def Jam. Def Jam has always been deaf. D

E A F Jam.

I call him Def Jig or that. I like that.

I've been calling him De Jig. Now, I try

to chill because I I used to know good

people working over there. I don't know

who's over there now. I know they broke

down, consolidated, and picked it back

up and they made some type of new group

now with all of Mercury and Island and

yada yada yada. We'll get to that.

Um, but Def Jam did Big Sean wrong,

Tiana wrong, even though she's still

over there. Who else they did wrong?

Crit, uh, Joe Button. Def Jam without

Ludacris and Jaw and DMX and LL and that

Death Jam ain't Death Jam. So why

everybody get all of that? The record

player with the needle on the post that

I have [ __ ] tattooed on me. Them days

are long gone at long. Why anybody is

surprised that Death Jam did some

anti-hip hop [ __ ] I'm shocked by it,

but I'm not. They've done a good job

with marketing themselves as the hip

hopiest hip-hop label. And that just has

not been the truth for quite some time.

So, it don't shock me that they said in

the middle of

litigation, hey, no, Kendrick, even

though he is a universal act. Well, I

think they wanted to censor him and they

refused. So, they wanted to take the

song off and they refused. So, they came

up with, hey, just let us go. And that

was problematic because Pusha is also

signed there as a solo artist. So, well,

that's where I want to reserve some of

my Death Jam vitriol. If that story is

true, that means that they released

them. They did. They did release. They

did release them. Yeah. Which is I mean,

so we want to applaud Death Jam for cuz

I wouldn't have done that. No way. No

way. I I wouldn't have released you.

You'd have just had to find another way

with your little verse. But did the

Kendrick verse say or It's not out. No

one's heard it. We haven't heard from

No. As of, you know, from the interview,

was there a subliminal against Drake?

Was there? From what I was told. Mhm.

No, he didn't make any

subliminals about Drake or anything like

that. I don't think that matters when

litigation is going on. Yeah. So,

they're just afraid that any mention or

subliminal, everything is open for

interpretation during his appearance on

there, I guess, scared them off. Just

Kendrick's appearance alone is going to

do

something in combination with push who

are the two people that it's in defeated

in a battle like I understand. And we we

in the middle of a potential 10 figure

lawsuit against this man. Yeah. I'm

going to proceed on the side of caution.

You're going to cost us money. Yeah.

They are already literally supposedly

some billions is being tossed around as

a potential settlement. [ __ ] I'm not

playing them games. So, you could feel

how you want to feel on a on a on a

sentimental side, but this is business

and sometimes we get the two conflated.

Like, fam, I'm making the best decision

for our business, not for your project

and your art. So, they left Def Jam and

went to Rock Nation. Yes. Yes. That's

interesting. They they left Def Jam.

They were shopping the album around and

eventually partnered up with Rock Nation

uh for distribution. Got it. So, it's

like a dro deal with them.

Thoughts? Yeah. What do we I mean, I

think they landed in the right place.

Honestly, Def Jam hasn't been Def Jam to

your point. I agree. So, Rock Nation is

still Rock Nation and they've got a

bunch of talented people over there and

they're building it. So, they landed in

the right place. How normal is this in

the business that that a label will step

in and do this?

step in what? Like censor. Yeah. Till

somebody take you out the verse the

verse. Um this is not from my era of

hip-hop. That just didn't happen then.

Artists didn't have that much power back

then. I I got some firsthand. Some did.

Very few. Some did, but that didn't Some

do today. That didn't go on. Well, yeah,

it's still only I feel like usually

these type of things would be like a ANR

decision. This artist isn't hot enough

for whatever reason. We don't want this

artist on there. This is might be might

be the first time I've experienced or

witnessed them censoring for a huge a

huge a huge a big artist. Yeah. Taking a

big a bigger artist than the album is.

Yeah. Nobody's ever heard of you having

the biggest rapper in the game feature

and the label you're on saying no thank

you. Nobody's ever heard of that. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. That's new to me. Okay.

Could be. That's new.

But I understand the position. Yeah. And

I think Push even Yeah, I think Push

even said something like that. Yo, the

lawsuit [ __ ] is bigger than hip-hop now.

So, it sucks that you got kind of got to

acquies to this thing, but it's here and

and it is a real thing, so you have to

treat it that way. So, I understand

Death Jam's position. Thank God that

there is a ju position, alternate rap.

Yeah. I don't I just hate it. I don't

know if it's just the death jam position
