- 5:26
>> I'll vote for issue.
- 5:26
>> Are you voting later?
- 5:28
>> No. I'm registered in another state.
- 5:30
>> Virginia. Did you absentee for Virginia
- 5:33

- 5:36
[clears throat]
- 5:37

- 5:39
>> I'm not voting. Got you.
- 5:42
Well, you know what?
- 5:43
>> I didn't fill out the absentee ball.
- 5:44
>> Y'all were right. [clears throat]
- 5:46
>> We should have started with drinking
- 5:48
Spotify. [laughter]
- 5:49
>> I tried to tell you [ __ ] It's going
- 5:52
nowhere.
- 5:52
>> HEY, BUT I SAID I DON'T WANT TO BRING it
- 5:54
up cuz I I already I already know. I
- 5:56
already know.
- 5:56
>> Well, shout out to everybody who did
- 5:57
vote and you know the the democracy
- 6:01
depends on it. I like seeing M Donnie
- 6:03
out all weekend. He was at the the
- 6:04
hip-hop club, the rea club about 2 a.m.
- 6:07
I saw on Instagram he was in the gay
- 6:08
club doing the Nick G. Yeah, he's he's
- 6:11
he's doing he's walking around.
- 6:13
>> He's hitting the streets
- 6:14
>> and he's not taking it for granted. You
- 6:15
don't take the win for granted, which I
- 6:16
appreciate.
- 6:17
>> Mark, before we start this, cuz this is
- 6:18
not a political podcast, but I do want
- 6:20
to ask you, do you think that the late
- 6:23
Trump cosign and Cuomo trying to deny it
- 6:26
will have any impact in the in the
- 6:28
booth?
- 6:29
>> I think it's going to be worse for
- 6:30
Cuomo.
- 6:31
>> Really?
- 6:32
>> Really?
- 6:32
>> Yeah. I don't think it's going to help.
- 6:34
I think I think the Republican like
- 6:36
there are people who love Trump who do
- 6:37
whatever Trump says. Then there's died
- 6:38
in the wool Republicans. I think the
- 6:40
people who already are Trumpers were
- 6:42
going to vote for Curtis Leeway anyway.
- 6:44
Um, could Cuomo's number go up a little
- 6:48
bit from that? Yes. But I think he loses
- 6:49
on the other side. There are a lot of
- 6:50
people who who are Democrats who might
- 6:52
be a little skeptical of
- 6:53
>> You think all the Trumpers were voting
- 6:55
Flewa?
- 6:56
>> Yeah. I
- 6:57
>> Oh [ __ ]
- 6:58
>> Yeah. I I I think I think you were going
- 7:01
to see the early polls at SEA at 20 at
- 7:03
um I'm sorry had uh Cuomo at like 21 to
- 7:07
24% and leave around 14 to 16%.
- 7:10
>> That's a big number. And we're talking
- 7:11
about New York.
- 7:12
>> It's huge.
- 7:13
>> We're talking about New York. Um could
- 7:14
Cuomo get a little bit of sleeves? Sure.
- 7:16
But I I see a lot of people Democrats
- 7:19
who are on the fence who when they say
- 7:20
if that's who Trump is for, that's not
- 7:22
who I want and it's going to make them
- 7:23
go mom Donnie. So yeah, I agree with
- 7:26
that. You don't think though the same
- 7:27
effect could happen with the SLA people
- 7:29
like where the people were Republican
- 7:31
and because Trump endorsed um Cuomo he
- 7:34
might pull a little bit of them.
- 7:36
>> Maybe because [clears throat] there are
- 7:36
no real SLA people. There's like seven
- 7:38
guardian angels left. Everybody you
- 7:39
[laughter]
- 7:40
vote for you just vote with Rand no
- 7:41
matter what. You don't care, right?
- 7:43
Yeah. You don't really give a [ __ ] So
- 7:45
that's a different kind of position. But
- 7:46
I think Matt's going to win sizably. I
- 7:48
think he's win I think he's going to get
- 7:49
a big chunk of the vote. I don't think
- 7:50
it's going to be close. I think he's
- 7:51
going to be dancing and celebrating by
- 7:53
by 8:30.
- 7:54
>> By 2:30.
- 7:55
>> [ __ ] Right. [laughter]
- 7:57
>> Soon as the post
- 7:58
>> eating lunch like, "Yo, I'm good."
- 7:59
>> Right.
- 7:59
>> My last question. Do you think if you
- 8:01
were SEO, would you have bowed out for
- 8:03
the 10 mil that that he says they
- 8:04
offered him?
- 8:06
>> Um, yes.
- 8:08
>> I don't think they offered him 10 mil.
- 8:10
>> You're just You're just making it sound
- 8:11
good.
- 8:12
>> Curtis [ __ ] Curtis Lee ain't got two
- 8:13
nickels to rub together. I promise you.
- 8:15
I I definitely think they offer him 10
- 8:17
mil.
- 8:17
>> And you think 100%.
- 8:19
>> Then why would he stay?
- 8:20
>> He he he ain't got no money. He
- 8:22
>> old though. Yeah. Oh, guardian angel.
- 8:25
>> Yeah, he wanted um he went to the train.
- 8:27
He survived assassination.
- 8:28
>> Tried to kill me. I'm on my I'm living
- 8:30
off principle in my [laughter]
- 8:34
I got the whole angels behind me. I
- 8:35
can't let them down.
- 8:36
>> You got all the old [ __ ] [ __ ]
- 8:37
>> But do I think that they would have
- 8:39
tried to pay him thinking that that
- 8:41
would make up the difference in in the
- 8:43
uh lead that Mammi has over? 100%. If
- 8:46
you feel like I'll take that 10 to 15%
- 8:49
out and give Quuomo more of a shot no
- 8:52
matter what the early polls say. 10
- 8:54
million is is the light to go 10
- 8:58
million.
- 8:58
>> Yeah. I don't think they first of all I
- 8:59
don't think he cost he ain't worth that.
- 9:01
>> They gave [ __ ] Jasmine Sullivan 10
- 9:03
million to [ __ ] go perform at the I'm
- 9:06
just making up names. BUT THEY THEY GAVE
- 9:08
ARI THEY GAVE THEY GAVE 10 MILLION ANDY.
- 9:11
[laughter] YOU DON'T KNOCK IT OFF WITH
- 9:13
what they think about 10 million in
- 9:14
political budget. I don't think 10
- 9:15
million is too that they can't afford
- 9:17
it. I'm saying I don't think if I don't
- 9:19
think they need to spend 10 million on
- 9:20
courtesy. I think two million in a
- 9:21
sandwich should do it.
- 9:22
>> Yeah, but we going to OD and make it an
- 9:23
offer that you can't refuse.
- 9:25
>> Well, apparently they did. That's what
- 9:26
that's why I don't believe they offered
- 9:27
it cuz I don't see courtesy would turn
- 9:28
him down $10 million. This all
- 9:29
speculation
- 9:29
>> I think they paid Eric Adams too.
- 9:31
Allegedly.
- 9:32
>> Oh, I know they paid alleged. [laughter]
- 9:33
Allegedly. Because I ain't Please.
- 9:36
>> Eric Adams again it wasn't no 10
- 9:38
million. They they made they gave him a
- 9:39
great job.
- 9:40
>> I promise in the future
- 9:41
>> a chop cheese.
- 9:42
>> Yeah, that's all it take and some
- 9:44
tickets. You think they gave him?
- 9:45
>> But we knew he could have been bought.
- 9:46
>> He could be in the fifth row. Eric Adams
- 9:48
seats.
- 9:48
>> You don't think? [laughter]
- 9:50
>> It don't cost much to get to buy Eric
- 9:52
Adams.
- 9:53
>> You don't think?
- 9:53
>> No. He wasn't going to win anyway.
- 9:56
>> Mar got Mark got everybody. Yeah, but I
- 9:58
could cause a disruption.
- 9:58
>> I could Yeah,
- 10:00
>> I'm with you though. He could have been
- 10:01
bought.
- 10:02
>> And his ego is so big. He'd rather bow
- 10:03
out than lose anyway.
- 10:05
>> Oh my god. Yo,
- 10:06
>> pay me, [ __ ]
- 10:08

- 22:29
space for that.
- 22:30
>> I let it go. I didn't say nothing.
- 22:32
>> I just met a face to
- 22:33
>> Drake and Spotify. Come [laughter] on.
- 22:35
Come on. Drake and Spotify. You wrote it
- 22:37
up there. LET'S GET RIGHT TO IT.
- 22:39
>> Let's get right to it. That's what the
- 22:40
fans want, man. They They expect us to
- 22:41
trash Drake right now. And I don't think
- 22:43
we need to.
- 22:43
>> I totally disagree. I don't think that
- 22:45
at all. I I don't I don't think that the
- 22:47
audience is expecting this part to come
- 22:49
on us trash Drake.
- 22:51
>> Okay, I could be wrong.
- 22:52
>> But if you want to trash him, I
- 22:53
>> I have no desire to trash Drake. But I
- 22:55
wanted So RBX, uh, the artist, the
- 22:57
rapper.
- 22:57
>> I'll get my shades, [ __ ] We know.
- 22:59
[laughter]
- 22:59
>> I ain't going to leave you out there.
- 23:01
>> RBX is, if y'all don't know, he's a
- 23:03
rapper. Uh, O OG rapper, Death Row
- 23:06
affiliate, wrote some really important
- 23:07
songs, was part of the Chronic, part of
- 23:09
a whole bunch of stuff. Andy Snoop's
- 23:10
cousin. Uh, he sued uh Spotify. Uh, and
- 23:15
the basic uh allegations that Spotify is
- 23:18
complicit in the use of bots to fake
- 23:22
streams. And in the lawsuit, they
- 23:25
mentioned one artist as an example. That
- 23:29
is Drake. I want to stress Drake is not
- 23:31
being sued. Drake is not being accused
- 23:32
of any wrongdoing. Drake is just being
- 23:34
used as an example to show how many many
- 23:37
streams are being far are being
- 23:39
produced. Sometimes that things like bot
- 23:40
farms, one of which was found in Turkey.
- 23:42
Uh and they're saying that that maybe
- 23:45
that a large number of of the streams
- 23:47
are faked and it harms the other artists
- 23:50
who are not being inflated the same way.
- 23:52
uh they showed a time period from I
- 23:54
think it was January 2022 until
- 23:57
September of 2025
- 24:01
where uh where they were looking at just
- 24:03
Drake's music as example and showing
- 24:05
these unusual inflations for example
- 24:07
where somebody would be listening to
- 24:09
Drake's music for 23 hours
- 24:12
>> and one of the major sources just to tie
- 24:14
this up is
- 24:14
>> irregular irregular listening habits.
- 24:17
Yes, it's from what Mark is saying, u
- 24:21
the the neo geographic [ __ ] Some of
- 24:23
these streams are coming from places
- 24:25
where no there's no address, nobody
- 24:27
lives.
- 24:27
>> Yep.
- 24:28
>> So,
- 24:29
>> they're all using VPNs a big thing, too.
- 24:31
>> And they're mostly tied to the free tier
- 24:33
of Spotify, which is so there's no
- 24:35
credit card trace or anything like that.
- 24:36
>> Okay.
- 24:37
>> So, that that's how they're able to
- 24:38
navigate finagle the system using the
- 24:39
free tier. That's why I don't like free
- 24:40
tiers on things. Um, and the free tier
- 24:44
is not really
- 24:45
>> It's not free. Yeah. It's not really
- 24:47
free. The free tier, that's a that's a
- 24:49
myth.
- 24:49
>> It is.
- 24:50
>> There's no such thing as a free tier,
- 24:52
>> right? Explain.
- 24:52
>> Come, come one, come all. I don't know
- 24:54
if I feel like it in this talk. Maybe in
- 24:56
hour two. Uh
- 24:57
>> there's so many more advertising.
- 24:58
They're taking more data.
- 24:59
>> Oh, got you. Got you. But the actual
- 25:01
paycheck comes with a price.
- 25:04
>> I might jump out there and say it ain't
- 25:05
it ain't too far removed from being
- 25:08
almost as valuable as the paid more,
- 25:10
which is right. That's what I mean when
- 25:12
I sound because it's a hustle. And and
- 25:14
the argument is not that Spotify is
- 25:16
necessarily making the um the the the
- 25:19
fake streams,
- 25:20
>> but they they benefit so much from it
- 25:22
that they're not
- 25:23
>> they turn they turn the side out.
- 25:25
>> Yeah. Because that's how they go to
- 25:26
subscribe to advertisers and say, "Look,
- 25:28
look at all these people we got
- 25:30
listening." So they they they're
- 25:31
incentivized to do it. The artists are
- 25:33
incentivized not to stop it. And the
- 25:35
only people really being harmed are
- 25:37
people less artist. It's the middle
- 25:39
class and lower artists. How are they
- 25:41
being harmed? I explained this during a
- 25:44
bunch of different times, but
- 25:44
specifically during the Drake beef, that
- 25:46
was one of my reasons why people might
- 25:48
have an issue with him is what happens
- 25:50
on uh Spotify in particular, but I think
- 25:53
also Apple is they essentially pull
- 25:55
tips. Meaning, oh, you did
- 25:56
>> they take all the money from all of the
- 25:58
streams and then look at who gets what
- 26:00
percentage of streams and divvy up the
- 26:02
money that way. So, if someone has an
- 26:03
artificially inflated number, they're
- 26:05
essentially taking money out of the
- 26:06
pockets of people with lower numbers,
- 26:08
>> right?
- 26:09
>> Which is why RBX is is suing. And as one
- 26:11
of the reasons I was leaving Spotify,
- 26:14
well, I left Spotify. You can't take my
- 26:17
numbers, put them in a pot with
- 26:18
everybody else numbers, and then divvy
- 26:20
it up equally. No, it don't work like
- 26:22
that.
- 26:23
>> I'm not signed enough for that. If I got
- 26:25
more numbers, I want to be paid than
- 26:27
more of these people. I got enough
- 26:28
numbers to be looked at in a whole
- 26:30
different plan. Don't put me in that
- 26:31
pot. So, I get the lesser. No, I
- 26:33
understand exactly what they're saying.
- 26:34
>> But, but in that in that instance, you
- 26:36
would be the beneficiary of that.
- 26:38
>> No, I would not. No, I would not.
- 26:40
>> Like Drake in that instance is the
- 26:42
beneficiary,
- 26:43
>> right?
- 26:44
>> Right. So if your numbers are the not
- 26:47
saying your numbers are inflated, but if
- 26:49
you have the higher numbers and they
- 26:50
pull everything together, then you going
- 26:51
to get the line.
- 26:52
>> In this instance, Drake would be the
- 26:54
beneficiary because they have worked it
- 26:56
out to pay him more. Got
- 26:58
>> when I was there, everybody numbers go
- 27:00
in the pot and we divvied it this up
- 27:02
equally or has how we see fit. There's
- 27:04
no way for a creator to know their true
- 27:08
worth in that system
- 27:09
>> because you don't never see the numbers.
- 27:10
>> No,
- 27:11
>> not the real count.
- 27:13
>> Yeah. And they ball the numbers
- 27:13
together.
- 27:14
>> They don't count for anything. If I'm
- 27:15
carrying the ship, which I was,
- 27:18
>> Yeah. No, I deserve the lion share or to
- 27:20
be looked at independently. However you
- 27:22
source ads for everybody else should not
- 27:25
and cannot apply to me.
- 27:26
>> Gotcha.
- 27:26
>> Yeah.
- 27:27
>> Does that make sense? According to some
- 27:28
I read some studies this morning on this
- 27:31
and they the the most reliable studies
- 27:33
I've seen suggest that maybe 10% of all
- 27:37
these streams are fake across the board.
- 27:39
So that's a and that's the tune of tens
- 27:41
of billions of dollars. So and if a bunk
- 27:45
a bunch of them are going to one or two
- 27:46
artists that's also a problem. And
- 27:49
that's what they're finding with these
- 27:50
um farms is that like 1% of people are
- 27:52
accounting for it like a
- 27:52
disproportionate number of the streams.
- 27:54
So
- 27:55
>> it's justifiable though.
- 27:56
>> Yeah. then it makes sense
- 27:58
>> cuz if you just had streams for
- 28:02
>> Joe Blow
- 28:03
>> that were just inflated then you
- 28:05
couldn't it it seems fake. You know what
- 28:07
I'm saying? If it's Drake, if it's
- 28:09
Kendrick, if it's Taylor, if it's those
- 28:11
people that command a certain amount of
- 28:13
streams, we just going to throw a half a
- 28:15
million a day over there to them and
- 28:16
then it it seems
- 28:18
>> and that's not and that's not fair at
- 28:19
all. If I'm relying on my song that I
- 28:22
worked hard on and you got
- 28:25
>> 30 stream farms. I'm just pulling
- 28:26
numbers out of head. 30 stream farms
- 28:28
working 23 hours out of a day.
- 28:30
>> That ain't fair at all.
- 28:31
>> True. I agree.
- 28:32
>> I think I just want I want the shot.
- 28:34
>> But it shouldn't depend on the artist
- 28:35
that's suing.
- 28:36
>> I don't know. Uh what's the RBX?
- 28:40
>> Well, they say class action suit, right?
- 28:41
>> Yeah. He's opening the door, but he
- 28:43
wants it to become a class action. And
- 28:45
it should be a class action suit, which
- 28:47
is why I don't get where the your take
- 28:50
about the fans want us to kick Drake's
- 28:51
back in. This ain't to me really about
- 28:53
Drake at all. The reason why it becomes
- 28:55
about Drake, and it should not be, is
- 28:57
because he's the only artist named in
- 28:59
the suit. And it's not clear from the
- 29:00
lawsuit where they got their data from
- 29:02
or why they only chose Drake to point
- 29:04
to. Um, so I think they think that we're
- 29:06
going to make the mistake that a lot of
- 29:08
people have made in the last 24 hours,
- 29:10
which which is to misrepresent what
- 29:12
happened. A lot of people are saying
- 29:13
Drake is getting sued or that Drake was
- 29:15
caught with bots. Neither of which is
- 29:17
true. We're much more.
- 29:18
>> Well, he's not getting sued in this
- 29:20
suit.
- 29:20
>> Yes, there's two others.
- 29:22
>> There's some other things going on.
- 29:23
>> There's some other things, right? But
- 29:24
this one is not about Drake. Um, it's
- 29:26
interesting though, and this is not a
- 29:28
Drake at all. Again, it's just a matter
- 29:31
of the chronology and the facts here is
- 29:33
that when Drake started to uh talk about
- 29:38
UMG and bots and how they were being
- 29:41
used potentially to harm him, there were
- 29:43
experts who said, "Hey, you might not
- 29:44
want to lift that hood up." Because if
- 29:46
you lift the hood up and start talking
- 29:47
about who's using bots and whose streams
- 29:48
are real and whose streams are not, you
- 29:50
may find that there's a lot of fake ones
- 29:51
on your side, too,
- 29:52
>> that you may have nothing no knowledge
- 29:53
of. But no, that's
- 29:54
>> and and I don't think he does have any
- 29:55
knowledge. I'm not I don't think Drake
- 29:57
did anything wrong here. I just think
- 29:58
the fact is a whole lot of people use
- 30:00
bots. They're just part of the business.
- 30:02
>> No, I think that was his point. I think
- 30:04
his point was dog, when they use them
- 30:06
for me, I know how it looks.
- 30:09
>> So, yeah.
- 30:09
>> So, I know that y'all using them for him
- 30:11
cuz I'm the [ __ ] that they do it for.
- 30:13
So, I can identify when it's being done.
- 30:16
>> I don't think he never ne necessarily
- 30:18
denied that the [ __ ] is happening out
- 30:20
here. He was saying like, "My [ __ ]
- 30:22
y'all do it for me. I'm the authority on
- 30:24
this [ __ ] know how it is when an album
- 30:26
is being pushed or with a button being
- 30:27
pushed.
- 30:27
>> He's saying that when he did it, it
- 30:28
wasn't at the expense of somebody else.
- 30:30
>> Yeah, that's
- 30:31
to me doing this at the expense of him.
- 30:34
I mean, make paying him a certain way,
- 30:35
you know? So, that's
- 30:36
>> I feel that. Well, let me say this. Let
- 30:38
me not speak for myself. RBX is saying
- 30:39
it is at someone else's expense cuz
- 30:41
every time you get more money from these
- 30:42
fake streams, I'm getting less,
- 30:44
>> right?
- 30:45
>> Yeah.
- 30:45
>> It's a f it's a it's a zero sum game.
- 30:47
And he's correct.
- 30:48
>> And the way Parks explained that that
- 30:50
makes total sense.
- 30:50
>> It's frustrating that all the it's
- 30:52
everything's digital. Everything could
- 30:53
be paid out to who it should be paid out
- 30:55
to without doing this extra [ __ ] It's a
- 30:57
bad business model, an unfair business
- 30:59
model.
- 30:59
>> I wish the law I only wish that the
- 31:01
lawsuit had more names than Drake
- 31:02
because this makes it about Drake
- 31:05
>> again and not about the system, not
- 31:06
about the broken system, not about the
- 31:08
companies, not about the thieves.
- 31:10
>> Well, [clears throat] also to that,
- 31:11
you're pointing to the one guy who is
- 31:13
probably most believable that all of
- 31:16
these people [ __ ] with dome,
- 31:18
>> right? Cuz there might be somebody
- 31:19
listening to Drake 23 hours a day, quite
- 31:20
honestly, somewhere in the world. I
- 31:22
think the craziest thing.
- 31:22
>> Well, in fairness, the only way that
- 31:24
this gets legs is if you do that,
- 31:26
>> right?
- 31:26
>> If we if he if he points out whoever the
- 31:29
[ __ ] Ariana Grande or something like
- 31:31
that, this is a non-story and it gets
- 31:33
brushed under the rug. If you put
- 31:34
someone who is already having a bot
- 31:36
conversation, people like us will talk
- 31:38
about it.
- 31:38
>> I think he should have picked like the
- 31:40
the
- 31:41
>> Taylor Drake and blah blah blah.
- 31:42
>> That's what I'm saying.
- 31:43
>> You get what I'm saying? And then it
- 31:44
would have made it more the just just to
- 31:46
single him out more about the company.
- 31:48
Yeah. Not single out. It's easy for the
- 31:49
miscommunication to flow cuz now they
- 31:52
going to conflate the UMG issue with the
- 31:54
Spotify issue and all of that.
- 31:56
>> I feel like I've been saying for the
- 31:58
last at least since 2018 that the future
- 32:02
is going to be filled with class action
- 32:04
suits against the likes of a Spotify and
- 32:08
I won't name any other companies for
- 32:09
now but
- 32:11
>> this ain't going to be the last of it.
- 32:13
>> All these tech companies are relying on
- 32:14
inflated information and data to rise up
- 32:17
their stock prices.
- 32:19
sell ads, all of that [ __ ] inflation
- 32:20
numbers for them to do it.
- 32:21
>> The inflation of the numbers is just to
- 32:23
get more revenue, right? Like it still
- 32:25
doesn't it it doesn't say that people
- 32:28
are listening to you and because the
- 32:30
payout is small, right? What is what is
- 32:32
this pay out like some
- 32:32
>> it's something a fraction of a fraction
- 32:34
of a penny. So it's just to get them
- 32:36
more money. I don't think it's taking
- 32:37
away from anybody.
- 32:38
>> It's only to get more users so it looks
- 32:40
like your your app is more viable so
- 32:42
that more people invest so that you get
- 32:44
more money for the uh stakeholders,
- 32:46
>> right? selling the sizzle before you get
- 32:47
the steak.
- 32:48
>> I'm such a bird. I cared way more about
- 32:50
the Drake Gracie Bond news than this.
- 32:52
[laughter]
- 32:54
>> I don't What's that new share, Joe?
- 32:57
>> That's your bird. This is why they say
- 32:58
that.
- 32:59
>> I'm never going to beat the allegation.
- 33:00
[laughter]
- 33:01
>> But it's okay.
- 33:02
>> Yeah. I mean, why?
- 33:02
>> That's what I'm here for.
- 33:03
>> Why? Yeah. Why beat it?
- 33:04
>> Like, if somebody else would do it,
- 33:05
maybe I could take a backseat, but [ __ ]
- 33:07
it.
- 33:08
>> So, Gracie Bond is the Only Fans
- 33:11
entertainer slash Instagram model. Oh,
- 33:14
the girl with the fat ass slash the girl
- 33:15
that be on the Spanish that Spanish talk
- 33:19
show
- 33:20
>> and someone's phone is making some
- 33:22
noise.
- 33:25
>> It's just calling Siri right now.
- 33:26
>> No, that was [laughter] and not the girl
- 33:28
with the fat ass. That would be uh that
- 33:30
would be an understatement. She's went
- 33:32
and got multiple rounds. She prides
- 33:34
herself off of she used to be huge in
- 33:37
size.
- 33:37
>> Got you. Got it. And then she went and
- 33:39
got a 20 million surgeries and now she
- 33:41
looks the way she looks and she goes
- 33:43
around and does [ __ ] for attention with
- 33:45
her ass.
- 33:46
>> So she is claiming that
- 33:49
>> she linked with Drake.
- 33:51
Uh
- 33:52
>> and after after
- 33:54
>> Oh, I saw this story.
- 33:55
>> She linked with Drake and after many
- 33:56
promises he he ded her
- 34:00
>> and he and in her story has blackalled
- 34:04
her
- 34:04
>> from the UK party scene.
- 34:05
>> From the UK. Yes.
- 34:06
>> Yeah. [laughter] Why
- 34:08
>> girl? You
- 34:09
>> I'm glad I saw this story. I called you
- 34:10
a bird. I actually read every bit of
- 34:11
this. See?
- 34:12
>> HEY,
- 34:15
Mark down with me.
- 34:16
>> Intellectual bird.
- 34:17
>> We could read each other's minds from
- 34:19
separate locations. I'm telling you,
- 34:20
>> that is actually quite true. [laughter]
- 34:22
>> But uh so yeah, [clears throat]
- 34:25
how do we feel?
- 34:27
>> I don't I'm sorry that she went through
- 34:28
that.
- 34:28
>> You guys don't care.
- 34:29
>> First and foremost,
- 34:31
>> do y'all think that Drake black ballled
- 34:32
this girl from the UK nightife scene?
- 34:34
>> Oh man. No, Joe,
- 34:37
>> not necessarily. It would not shock me
- 34:39
if he was in a club one night and she
- 34:41
was trying to get in and he was like,
- 34:42
"Yo, I don't want her near me." And then
- 34:44
she, you know, something very small
- 34:46

- 34:49
>> Oh, well, I do. I 100% believe that he
- 34:54
black ballled this big [ __ ] from from

>> I want to hear both sides.

>> Now,

>> well, she did. [laughter]
- 35:03
>> That girl was moving around. I also

- 35:07
him doing that. Is that bad?
- 35:09
>> No.

>> It depends on what she did. You can't

- 39:44
artist union or de facto board and board
- 39:48
members and

>> Wait, one at a time, please.
- 40:19

- 40:27
>> Master P. Chuck D is on my list as well.
- 40:31
>> You said Master P.
- 40:33
>> Master P would be on my honorable
- 40:36
mention. I might put him in there. I got
- 40:37
to see what other names I come up with.
- 40:39
I put Knife Wonder.
- 40:40
>> Oh yeah, that's a great one. I'm putting
- 40:42
Ninth Wonder for sure.
- 40:44
>> What's your board? What is your board
- 40:45
predicated on?
- 40:47
>> What do you mean?
- 40:48
>> Just fairness in the music business or
- 40:49
what? Like I don't understand what the
- 40:51
board is being
- 40:53
What's What's the objective of the
- 40:55
board?
- 40:56
Uh,
- 40:58
artist rights. Let's call it artist
- 41:00
rights.
- 41:01
>> Got to put Master P on the board.
- 41:04
>> Well, it's your board.
- 41:05
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- 41:06
>> Um,
- 41:07
>> I'm not really a hip-hop guy, but I but
- 41:08
from what I learned from him, I'll put
- 41:10
I'll put Eric B on there.
- 41:12
>> Okay.
- 41:13
>> Just of how he handle his business
- 41:15
behind the scenes of what I seen.
- 41:17
>> That's interesting.
- 41:19
>> Need some exacts. I think
- 41:21
>> definitely Jimmy I
- 41:23
kidding. Um, I'm not I'm not about to
- 41:26
say I was about to get [laughter] I just
- 41:27
kicked you right out of mouth and you
- 41:29
were having
- 41:31
>> even though my answer might be frowned
- 41:32
upon too. I put Kevin LS on that list.
- 41:35
>> Okay.
- 41:35
>> I put Kevin L on that list.
- 41:36
>> Why is it frowned upon?
- 41:37
>> That's not a bad one. For reasons I
- 41:39
won't say.
- 41:39
>> Oh, gotcha.
- 41:41
>> I mean, he was only responsible for
- 41:43
running what I think is the most
- 41:46
successful rap label to ever live.
- 41:49
At the time where I I think it was the
- 41:51
best rap label to ever exist. If he
- 41:54
could play nice with others, Dame Dash
- 41:55
wouldn't be a bad choice.
- 41:56
>> Dame wouldn't be bad.
- 41:57
>> Can't put him. That's a big I know.
- 41:59
Yeah. Can't put him.
- 42:00
>> Yeah. But that but that would be the
- 42:02
same vein. I was thinking he he'd be
- 42:03
fighting fiercely for the rights. It's
- 42:05
just
- 42:05
>> So yeah. No, but that's dope. That we a
- 42:07
hip-hop board is not a bad idea.
- 42:09
>> That's not bad. We need West Coast
- 42:10
representatives and uh southern
- 42:11
representatives for sure.
- 42:13
>> For sure.
- 42:14
>> Um probably Punch or uh Top
- 42:20
Someone from over there I think would be
- 42:23
I'm not mad at that or Dre or both.
- 42:26
>> Yeah.
- 42:27
>> Uh I wouldn't be mad at Luke.
- 42:29
>> That's what I was just thinking. Just as
- 42:31
you said, Southern. Yep. Luke would be
- 42:33
>> Luke would be a good one.
- 42:34
>> Um you already got Knife.
- 42:36
[clears throat] I mean that. So there's
- 42:37
there's some Yeah.
- 42:39
>> Somebody from that Atlanta.
- 42:41
>> You definitely need need a bunch of
- 42:43
Atlanta.
- 42:43
>> Need you need some Atlanta.
- 42:44
>> I'm not bad. Gucci.
- 42:46
>> Gucci man. Yeah.
- 42:48
>> Shaka one.
- 42:48
>> I want this board to get shut. There a
- 42:50
couple of [ __ ] y saying a couple.
- 42:52
>> You need that though. You need some
- 42:53
people in there to shake some [ __ ] up.
- 42:55
>> But it also could
- 42:56
>> you could kick rocks. I wish I would put
- 42:59
them to [ __ ] on my board.
- 43:01
He's [ __ ] crazy.
- 43:03
>> But shout out to him.
- 43:05
>> He made a joke button.
- 43:06
>> He made a lot of artists.
- 43:08
>> It's not about that. Only in this board
- 43:10
conversation. I'm sh I ain't say Jay-Z
- 43:12
yet. There's a few names that just
- 43:14
hasn't been not for sure for me. Like I
- 43:16
would names where you go behind that
- 43:18
door. Nas got to be there.
- 43:20
>> Nas. Yes. Jay and Dre would be I'd have
- 43:24
I'd be concerned with there's some point
- 43:25
where I think as artists you might worry
- 43:27
that the person so close to the bank
- 43:29
that they become the bank. Like like you
- 43:30
want people representing the the art the
- 43:32
everyday artist and if if you become too
- 43:34
much of an exec and you're up too much,
- 43:35
it's almost like you're not us no more.
- 43:37
I'm not saying that's the case for them,
- 43:38
but I I can see how artists would feel
- 43:39
that way. Do you feel like
- 43:40
>> I'm too scared of him to say that
- 43:42
>> people do you feel like a person like
- 43:45
Jay or Nas because Nas come off that he
- 43:47
still has ties to the neighborhood or to
- 43:49
the art?
- 43:49
>> N I would say yes.
- 43:50
>> Do you feel Okay. So you just saying
- 43:52
with
- 43:53
>> I'm saying Jay and Dr. Dre I would be
- 43:54
more you know
- 43:55
>> because they have exceeded not just
- 43:58
because of how successful they've been
- 43:59
but like there's a way that they are the
- 44:01
execs.
- 44:02
>> You know what I mean?
- 44:04
It's like
- 44:07
it's like in a school there's a teachers
- 44:08
union but principles can't be part of
- 44:09
the teachers union.
- 44:10
>> Facts.
- 44:10
>> Even though they still need to be
- 44:12
protected.
- 44:13
>> They may have started as a teacher too,
- 44:14
>> right? But still like there's a way that
- 44:16
we got different interests right now.
- 44:17
>> Got you.
- 44:18
>> And I can see how an artist might feel
- 44:19
like
- 44:20
>> me and Dr. Dre have different interests.
- 44:22
Got it.
- 44:22
>> Me and Yeah.
- 44:23
>> Yeah.
- 44:25
>> Yeah. Fair.
- 44:26
>> Not Not a bad boy though. We come up
- 44:29
with a lot of the same names. I'm not
- 44:30
I'm not mad at that.
- 44:31
>> Yeah. Watch me get a call over this fake
- 44:33
board. Oh, you getting called you
- 44:36
getting a call.
- 44:36
>> I'm sure we omitted a ton of people that
- 44:38
deserve to be on the board and
- 44:39
apologies.
- 44:39
>> Yo, I got more board names, man. Please
- 44:42
don't call me with none of the hoot
- 44:43
nanny.
- 44:44
>> That's a hard one to just freestyle to.
- 44:45
You know what I mean? Like we just came
- 44:47
in. We didn't give you time to write it.
- 44:49
>> Yeah.
- 44:50
>> Uh what else is important? What else is
- 44:51
important?
- 44:52
>> I I really cuz we were talking about
- 44:54
Drake and you can't talk about Drake
- 44:55
without talking about Kendrick
- 44:57
apparently. Uh, [laughter]
- 44:59
>> at the end of the
- 45:00
>> This is what happens when he the only
- 45:01
one that can read that board.
- 45:02
>> At the end of the at the end of the
- 45:03
world. No, just at the end of the world.
- 45:04
First of all, the World Series was
- 45:05
amazing.
- 45:07
>> IT WAS IT WAS
- 45:09
>> I KNOW Joe watched it. I text him during
- 45:11
the end. I don't know if the rest of
- 45:12
y'all saw it.
- 45:12
>> I watched bits and pieces of it,
- 45:14
>> but the last
- 45:15
>> Oh, you missed the game.
- 45:16
>> I mean, it was a game of games. It was
- 45:18
one of the better game sevens I've ever
- 45:19
seen.
- 45:20
>> I asked my dad to start in that game.
- 45:22
I'd love to hear some of the series that
- 45:24
he thinks are better than this one. I'm
- 45:27
not ready to say that it's the best or
- 45:29
one of the best game or the best game
- 45:31
seven, but it's up there for the ones
- 45:33
I've ever seen in my life. That one that
- 45:35
game is up there.
- 45:35
>> Red Sox Yankees when when when the Socks
- 45:37
came back was important, but but it
- 45:38
wasn't a nailbit like what made this
- 45:40
great was that the whole series was a
- 45:41
nailbiter. There was an 18 inning game
- 45:43
in this series. Both teams were on the
- 45:46
ropes. Both teams had chances to be
- 45:47
champions. It went down to the eighth
- 45:49
inning, the ninth inning. I mean, every
- 45:50
inning, I mean, both teams had bases,
- 45:52
they traded bases loaded and got out of
- 45:54
it with phenomenal plays where one
- 45:56
mistake, I mean, it was I mean, the the
- 45:58
chess match from pitching, you know what
- 46:01
I mean? Including that basic intentional
- 46:03
walk to get the double play at the end.
- 46:04
It it was not a real intentional walk,
- 46:06
but it basically was when he was
- 46:07
pitching wide outside the whole time.
- 46:09
Yamamoto, who looked tired and had just
- 46:10
played the night before.
- 46:11
>> Yo, I was watching your timeline during
- 46:14
the game, and you were tweeting. What I
- 46:16
was thinking was, yo, yo, Mamoto better
- 46:18
get out of here. He He LOOKED A LITTLE
- 46:20
OFF.
- 46:20
>> YEAH,
- 46:21
>> but that must have been for like a short
- 46:23
stretch [laughter] cuz then I don't know
- 46:26
what happened.
- 46:27
>> 10 SECONDS LATER TURN. WHAT THE [ __ ]
- 46:30
>> THEY COULDN'T TOUCH HIM.
- 46:31
>> YO, he was painting the edges of the
- 46:33
quarter. They was killing him.
- 46:34
>> [ __ ] turn into Tom Cro.
- 46:35
>> Yeah. [ __ ] man. [laughter]
- 46:38
>> Nah, he went off. Listen, I know it was
- 46:39
a good series cuz I this was one of the
- 46:41
only times I felt like the better team
- 46:43
lost.
- 46:44
>> Yeah,
- 46:45
>> there's no way I thought the Dodgers
- 46:47
were going to win that game. I didn't
- 46:48
either.
- 46:49
>> It didn't feel like that. Every time
- 46:50
they showed the Dodgers dug out, they
- 46:53
looked defeated and depressed.
- 46:56
>> And then that the [ __ ] home run from
- 46:58
homeboy who hadn't had a hit in a month
- 47:01
and change
- 47:02
>> and hadn't hit a left-handed uh Yeah. It
- 47:04
was It was like
- 47:07
>> then it's momentum. Then it's momentum.
- 47:08
I'm just impressed with Toronto's
- 47:10
ability to put ball to bat.
- 47:12
>> Yeah. Yeah.
- 47:15
And if homeboy was a little faster.
- 47:18
[laughter]
- 47:18
>> Yeah.
- 47:19
>> Hey, they went Oh, it had to be tough.
- 47:22
Had to be tough. It had to be tough.
- 47:24
>> Blue Jays fans.
- 47:26
>> Yeah. I got nothing to be [ __ ] sorry
- 47:27
about. That was a great game
- 47:28
>> and you had chances. I mean, you could
- 47:29
have won game six,
- 47:31
>> but that's why I'm sick if I'm numb
- 47:32
them. The 18 inning
- 47:35
game loss.
- 47:36
>> Yeah.
- 47:37
>> Along with the game six loss that maybe
- 47:40
shouldn't have been a loss,
- 47:41
>> right? And then to have that game seven
- 47:44
go like that
- 47:44
>> and you give a run again run but they
- 47:46
gave a running eighth eighth and and
- 47:47
ninth. I again they had every chance to
- 47:49
be champions and they didn't win. I mean
- 47:50
at some point you got to just applaud LA
- 47:52
and say they did
- 47:53
>> for being so close to Japan. [laughter]
- 47:57
Go LA man. Wow. You guys
- 48:01
[ __ ] guys. You [laughter] did it. You
- 48:04
nailed it. And I don't want to be that
- 48:06
guy. Especially as a Yankee fan, right?
- 48:08
They they they paid they paid for what
- 48:10
they got and they got it.
- 48:12
>> Yeah. And Otani didn't didn't bomb them
- 48:14
in game nine. I I mean uh in game seven
- 48:16
he actually he's the one who gave up the
- 48:18
runs. Yeah.
- 48:18
>> In them two and a half minutes and
- 48:19
didn't hit and was in scoring position
- 48:21
and didn't and didn't get the the the
- 48:23
>> he didn't get a walk off. He didn't even
- 48:25
get a hit. He didn't get on base I don't
- 48:26
think the last two times he was up.
- 48:27
>> So look they did it at the end of the
- 48:30
game though which is what I loved was
- 48:31
did y'all see the Nike commercial at the
- 48:33
end of this game?
- 48:33
>> Yes.
- 48:34
>> It was one of the best commercials I've
- 48:36
seen in a long time. It starts off, it's
- 48:38
like right after the game is over, it
- 48:40
immediately jumps to uh LA on the
- 48:43
screen.
- 48:43
>> Okay.
- 48:44
>> It's it's put it's put in like a it
- 48:46
looks like a movie, like a home movie
- 48:47
kind of old school movie style. Okay.
- 48:49
>> And it starts with a clip of I Love LA
- 48:50
playing.
- 48:51
>> Okay.
- 48:51
>> And then it cuts off cuz that's which of
- 48:53
course is the classic LA victory song
- 48:55
and the one they played last year when
- 48:56
they won. And then it jumps to squabble
- 48:58
up
- 48:59
>> and it says LA loves a good sequel
- 49:02
>> and and then they run the credits like a
- 49:04
movie with all the all the players and
- 49:05
all the positions but it looks like
- 49:06
movie credits
- 49:07
>> and it was amazing. Some of the Drake
- 49:09
fans are like this is another Drake disc
- 49:11
>> which is ridiculous.
- 49:12
>> Do you think they had cuz you know
- 49:14
typically they'll have uh the t-shirts,
- 49:17
the hats, all that [ __ ] just
- 49:18
pre-printed.
- 49:19
>> Yeah.
- 49:19
>> Oh yeah.
- 49:19
>> So do you think if Toronto would have
- 49:21
won they would have had a Drake similar
- 49:23
joint already pre-int? That's an
- 49:25
interesting question.
- 49:26
>> You get what I'm saying? Like that would
- 49:27
have been if I'm Nike, if Drake has
- 49:30
Nike, you know what I'm saying? I think
- 49:32
that they had
- 49:33
>> that already.
- 49:34
>> Well, that's why people were mad, too.
- 49:35
They were like, Drake is a has a deal
- 49:36
with Nike. Why is Nike playing Kendrick
- 49:39
when LA wins? I to me, the answer is
- 49:41
obvious. It's [ __ ] LA. They won.
- 49:42
>> The Dodgers are bigger than Drake.
- 49:45
>> Shh, don't tell Drake fans that.
- 49:46
[laughter] But, but yes, but people were
- 49:49
were salty about that. But I think a
- 49:50
Drake song would have been great.
- 49:51
>> Yeah, I think they probably already had
- 49:53
both of them on deck. Yeah, cuz they
- 49:54
definitely have clothes. West Africa is
- 49:55
filled with Toronto Blue Jays World
- 49:57
Series [laughter] stuff right now.
- 49:58
>> [ __ ] walking back [ __ ] [ __ ] right
- 50:02
now.
- 50:02
>> This [ __ ] hat on right now thinking
- 50:04
[ __ ] [laughter] Blue Jays in the
- 50:07
>> [ __ ] St. Elizabeth right now with some
- 50:08
Toronto Blue Jays [ __ ] on
- 50:10
>> Jamaica, right?
- 50:11
>> Yeah. That's where they send the [ __ ]
- 50:13
to.
- 50:13
>> That's what they send. They send it to
- 50:14
the Caribbean and West Africa usually
- 50:16
when the the the [ __ ] that didn't work
- 50:18
out.
- 50:19
>> Yeah.
- 50:19
>> And now they back talking about the
- 50:20
Drake curse in sports,
- 50:22
>> right? cuz he was there game six like we
- 50:24
going to bring it home. He had his
- 50:25
Toronto accent on and everything like we
- 50:26
going to bring it home. Let's get him
- 50:27
out.
- 50:28
>> First time in the stadium
- 50:30
[laughter]
- 50:31
>> really.
- 50:32
>> I don't know. I'm talking [ __ ]
- 50:34
>> Probably though. I ain't never seen him.
- 50:35
>> I don't know if you've he been in the
- 50:35
stadium before, but he definitely was on
- 50:37
on social media saying we going to win
- 50:38
tonight, which he should. I mean, again,
- 50:40
people find excuses to disre.
- 50:42
But people were trying to make the
- 50:43
Dodgers Blue Jays another Kendrick
- 50:46
>> Drake
- 50:46
>> Drake battle.
- 50:48
>> Did you see uh the Otani sub back?
- 50:50
>> No. Uh back to Drake. Uh at the end when
- 50:54
he was like at the uh what did he say?
- 50:56
Uh this is a a really big team and we
- 51:00
have some really big rings.
- 51:02
>> Oh [ __ ] [laughter]
- 51:06
>> Oh sh I respect that.
- 51:08
>> I love it. I love it. I love it, man.
- 51:09

- 51:13

>> Yeah, he I think he is. You can't go up
- 51:28

- 51:48
MY TOES DOWN." Started laughing. is just
- 51:49

- 54:46
they know what to do and how to do it
- 54:48
and how to get you to do things that you

your back. This just never works out

well. I mean, you can always cover it.
- 55:20
>> Mhm.
- 55:21
>> It's a lot to cover.
- 55:22
>> Or just change the face up a little bit.
- 55:24
