The Joe Budden Podcast Episode 912

— [100:05.480 --> 100:20.900] right yeah usually they say yeah they start they say like he's the lineup it's

— [100:20.900 --> 100:29.280] all you need sold out It's all you need. They already said, don't ask me for no freebies, no comps, nothing. They moved to a new venue too, right? Yep, they're gonna be at the Belmont Plateau. I

— [100:29.280 --> 100:37.960] bet. They better. It's called the Plateau. What is the Belmont Plateau? And how different is it from the old venue? It's a place everybody go, everybody. Fresh

— [100:37.960 --> 100:48.120] Prince. It's a summertime reference. The Belmont Plateau is up in West Philly. You

— [100:48.120 --> 100:57.120] didn't just hit me with a summertime. Yeah, that's what it is though. That's what he talked about. They call it the plat. A place called the Plateau is 2026. I'm sorry. It's

— [100:57.120 --> 101:05.140] the last good verse he made. It might be. That freestyle. That freestyle. Action star. We gotta play that freestyle. No. We gotta play that freestyle. I'm

— [101:05.140 --> 101:15.260] gonna bounce back. No, please. Or you keep talking. I'm gonna do some research. Anyway. They told me I couldn't keep chewing, but I

— [101:15.260 --> 101:23.600] did. What is that? I just bit on more than I could chew and I chewed it. Can we hear about the Belmont Plateau? Tell

— [101:23.600 --> 101:31.860] us all about the Belmont Plateau. Anyway, over the last couple years it's been a different spot. It used to be down in Delaware Ave. This is a space that's going to be much more

— [101:31.860 --> 101:40.320] wide open, much more free flow, and it's going to be much more conducive to what people want. The people spoke the last couple years, and said we want a new venue. Last year specifically. Yeah, last year specifically.

— [101:40.360 --> 101:48.740] Yeah, after that problems they had it. So, but the great thing about them is that they listen. And it's going to be a great event. So,

— [101:48.740 --> 101:56.880] stop. Will you be there? Will I be there? You have so many interests in this, Philadelphia, rock nation. That's right, roots, everything.

— [101:56.880 --> 102:06.260] What are you going to do, Ma? Inshallah, I'll be there. Nice. Lot of things going on that day, but I would do my best to make it Luckily

— [102:06.980 --> 102:15.000] I have found the freestyle Only 23 seconds, but I feel like that might be enough. I want to hear more than long I want to hear it long as the

— [102:15.000 --> 102:23.000] chew it line is in there. I'm fine You know the funny I know he got killed and clown for that freestyle, but

— [102:23.000 --> 102:31.100] over a different beat, I think it works. Different flow, I think it works. Because the beat would've changed the flow. I sound like old Luda.

— [102:31.100 --> 102:39.360] Don't do that. The flow. I sound like old Luda. Anything Luda jump on the internet and say the internet, oh, he's still whipping.

— [102:40.940 --> 102:49.160] Now he be bodying shit. That verse was ass, but I don't want to lose sight of the fact that Will Smith, aka Fresh Prince, is

— [102:49.160 --> 102:57.200] a rap legend. And he deserves all the respect and love in the world as an artist. That was ass, but Fresh Prince is the legend. Of course, of course. I

— [102:57.200 --> 103:05.680] just wanna put that out there, because these youngins forget. Yeah, they wasn't there though. Yeah, they wasn't there. I see y'all trying to hide y'all Jay-Z excitement

— [104:46.380 --> 104:54.480] to see to see Jay-Z potentially. That's what I'm waiting for. That's why I mean, this is great Be clear. I'm not I don't want sound like I'm honest or nothing. This is not the announcement. I'm waiting

— [104:54.480 --> 105:02.820] for I know Yeah, we getting something. Yeah this announcement Excited now about why this was announced. Yep, right.

— [105:02.840 --> 105:10.860] I'm not excited about this. It's not for me Bring your skin so soft and your mosquito repellent and hopefully the

— [105:10.860 --> 105:19.020] speakers are working great and y'all are vibing out, I'll see the clips on Instagram. But whatever he's building up to, I'm excited about that's what

— [105:19.020 --> 105:27.020] I'm excited about and I'm hoping that that's music Mm-hmm. I'm hoping that's a Prudential

— [105:27.020 --> 105:35.280] center, I don't think it's I think he's gonna be at the Barclays for 8 9 shows Really? Yeah doing the 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt

— [105:35.280 --> 105:43.440] and there's gonna be some amazing that you're just gonna have to catch. Got you. And for it to be the 30th. With no music? New music? No, I don't think so. I think music is coming. He

— [105:43.440 --> 105:51.580] ain't doing all that. He ain't leaving his house. And all that shit he's been doing with the DSPs and all that. Them is calculated. He doing all that with the DSPs. I think. Putting all the old music out

— [105:51.580 --> 105:59.620] there. Yeah, the vinyl, everything. But again, that's the icing on top of the cake for me, if it's new music. I'm cool seeing

— [105:59.620 --> 106:07.680] Reasonable Doubt 30 year anniversary show and he's gonna go all out I'm fine with that and I think he's passed that point where he has to like I remember

— [106:07.680 --> 106:16.020] back when Prince came to Philly and did like he was going to multiple cities but Philly did like 5 or 6 days in a row in like around 2004 2005

— [106:16.020 --> 106:24.080] he didn't do music He's Prince and he'd been around for decades Jay-z's 30th anniversary 8 shows we

— [106:24.080 --> 106:32.320] don't need to debate that he's a legend legacy act. He doesn't need new music I'm going I'm going off of what

— [106:32.320 --> 106:40.740] I think some of what young guru has said in the past has or not said rather

— [106:41.320 --> 106:49.320] has given me new music vibes. I'm going off of Memphis bleak what he has said what he has not said he said it took it back

— [106:49.320 --> 106:57.540] I'm yeah I'm going off of the recent fat Joe a fat Joe's got a jay-z verse on some song that's coming out

— [106:57.540 --> 107:06.900] I don't think he just got out of bed to go to fat Joe's session and do a verse and that's it. He's in rap mode. He's done the whole anniversary

— [107:07.080 --> 107:15.260] show, his whole career. Nothing special to him. He did reasonable doubt. He did. He did unplugged. I'm talking about anniversary shows.

— [107:15.260 --> 107:24.960] I'm just saying he's popped out with a with a boutique show. Yes. 30 years

— [107:24.960 --> 107:32.960] no new music you see what this look like out here you own and run a streaming company. I just spent a year following my wife around watching

— [107:32.960 --> 107:41.120] her kill shows. I want to rap now. He wants to rap Yeah, I want he wants to rap. Yo, he wants to rap You don't want to just pop out and you think he's doing all these

— [107:41.120 --> 107:49.240] shows and he's not gonna give you a acapella verse that You never heard before Do you think he put his pin away after that? I think we get a

— [107:49.240 --> 107:57.280] guest verse somewhere. Answer me, do you think he dropped his pin after he finished that verse? Or an album or verse? When he finished that verse. The acapella that he's gonna do

— [107:57.280 --> 108:05.320] at whatever show. Did he tuck his bick away? No, I think he also pinned a verse that he's gonna give to somebody I think the whole verse like

— [108:05.320 --> 108:13.420] he's doing over the last couple years. I don't think we get again I'm I would love to be wrong on this But I don't think we get in a

— [108:13.420 --> 108:21.600] whole album. I Think this is all reasonable doubt even an even a thing with the name change putting the omelette back on the Over

— [108:21.600 --> 108:30.380] his name even like that. I think this is all an old to old jay-z That's what I'm feeling and I think he gonna give you some You

— [108:30.380 --> 108:39.920] think albums coming I do I hope you're right. I would love to I would love a new whole album I see the watch the taste of 444 out my mouth You're

— [108:39.920 --> 108:47.960] not coming to the brunch man, I wasn't coming to the brunch anyway, they just unblock me Who rock nation we good now? He's still into the

— [108:47.960 --> 108:56.280] anti-444 ship to every time but yeah, I'll that's another take I can't get with that, him and Park Share. Me too. Park Share is that? Oh,

— [108:56.280 --> 109:04.620] Anish. Me too. Well, Park Share is that because of how it was mixed. Okay. Me too. It wasn't good. I've listened to too many projects with bad mixing

— [109:04.620 --> 109:12.740] for that to beat something like Hill I Die On. Yeah. He's not wrong, but like that I ain't not loving the album because it's not mixed well. That ain't

— [109:12.740 --> 109:20.760] my reason. I know that's what I'm saying. 1 of the biggest, if not the biggest rapper in the world coming out to say I cheated on

— [109:20.760 --> 109:28.780] the biggest R&B person in the world. She almost left. This is how I got through it. This is how we survived. I learned

— [109:28.780 --> 109:36.820] so much toxic from music. I had so much toxic like from my family upbringing that I didn't even realize this is how it's affecting me today. This is how I

— [109:36.820 --> 109:45.100] thought that we would never hear that message again. We would never hear it again from anywhere. So even if I had a problem with the music what he did and how that hit at the time

— [109:45.340 --> 109:53.620] right coming off Lemonade right wasn't that coming off Lemonade? It was, yeah. Oh yeah, we ain't never gonna see nothing like that again. But I get it, y'all don't like that.

— [109:53.620 --> 110:02.520] Yeah, I don't wanna see you like that again. I get it. Yeah, I think new music is coming. Me too. I do. And I'm excited about it. Indeed. Me

— [110:02.520 --> 110:10.660] too. Indeed, Again, I would love it. I also would be okay if it was just a tour or something like that. That's fine too. I don't think it'll be a tour. I think I like to say it. 2 shows

— [110:10.660 --> 110:18.900] and that's it. 9 shows in New York, right? I think you got a lot to say. I'm sure. I think he has a lot of shit to say. I think he's going to be addressing

— [110:18.900 --> 110:27.000] some people, addressing society, addressing, you know what I mean? I'm older now. I've been in every room that you can imagine. I think he's just got a lot

— [110:27.000 --> 110:35.040] to say. Yeah, and hopefully J-Lek is not on this 1. No, hopefully J-Lek is on this 1. No. Please. Yeah, like, hate too. Keep him in

— [110:35.040 --> 110:43.280] wherever, keep him where he is. Way over there. Keep him far away from- His project coming out soon too. That's cool. And Jay-L-Like, guest verse

— [110:43.280 --> 110:51.280] is good money. It's great money. Good bread. Great money. Now, the whole album together, I'm with you, I'm not the biggest fan of that. But

— [110:51.280 --> 110:59.620] Jay-Lac guest verse is great. That will never, I will never hear Slater on that. And I like Jay-Lac trying to solo.

— [110:59.620 --> 111:07.800] No, I know you're a fan, that's why I don't know how you didn't love written testimony, but I just don't love that up You like it even that's a whole album. I'm not yeah. Yeah, I tell you I just think that

— [111:07.800 --> 111:15.980] I just Think if you do a joint album I think I think no I just think y'all gotta be somebody got catch

— [111:15.980 --> 111:24.140] up, and I just think he got out wrapped so badly and you know, I like Jay electron Yeah, I just think he got out wrapped so badly that it was it didn't make a little

— [111:24.140 --> 111:32.440] I'll be fixing a new 10I got to end with his management. He's gonna be good It's gonna be great. It is a Patrick's

— [111:36.480 --> 111:44.560] What is it what is your thing your Jalen Rose's new controversy is commentary Who Jalen

— [111:44.560 --> 111:52.740] Rose? No, he's what he says something controversial. I'm curious know what y'all think about it he was he was He did

— [111:52.740 --> 112:01.000] an interview and he was talking about the NBA. Did he say how he felt about Bam? I'm sure he's happy. That's what I wanted to hear.

— [112:01.340 --> 112:09.620] That's good. How you feel that Bam got 83? No he not. Shee, no he not. Why you say that? He old head. You know he was going to guard in Kobe.

— [112:09.620 --> 112:17.820] I know. You know he wasn't guarding nobody. Clearly nobody's guarding Kobe. I still think that Jalen Rose is a stand-up dude

— [112:18.260 --> 112:26.280] and a basketball purist, and I don't think that he would have appreciated that. No, we just talking about, because now y'all can't control him with the

— [112:26.280 --> 112:34.400] 81 no more. Fair enough, but we ain't talking about, that's not what it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead. Jalen Rose said, the only sports that have salary caps are black-lead first off. So

— [112:34.400 --> 112:50.100] that's basketball and football Those are the only sports with salary caps baseball golf NASCAR tennis. You

— [112:50.100 --> 112:58.140] can keep naming. They do not have a salary cap. He said the second thing is they have no after high school restrictions. He said, so that's a

— [112:58.140 --> 113:06.160] residue of slavery because we're going to get money off of you for multiple years for free. That's the part that got

— [113:06.160 --> 113:14.760] people up in an uproar. 1, the analysis, whatever, but then 2, him saying that it's the residue of slavery. People

— [113:14.760 --> 113:23.000] don't like slavery comparisons a lot of times in general but they definitely don't like when it comes to sports. I mean the argument has been made for a long time

— [113:23.000 --> 113:31.080] with the football basketball after high school requirement because it's just it was just a way I mean they pointed off as

— [113:31.080 --> 113:39.080] saying that it's a real physical jump from high school physicality to the pros. I would agree with it in

— [113:39.080 --> 113:47.300] football, right? But in basketball, I wouldn't because some of our greats have skipped college and went on to be Kobe, KG, like

— [113:47.300 --> 113:55.440] Tracy. It was a bunch of people that skipped LeBron, that skipped college and went on to be some of the best basketball players we've ever seen. In

— [113:55.440 --> 114:03.500] football, I will, I understand it, but it was still based around money. There's so much money in college sports that they want the greats

— [114:03.500 --> 114:11.600] from high school to at least do a year or 2 in college so that we can benefit off you in college. And again, this is pre-NIF. So they wasn't

— [114:11.600 --> 114:19.620] paying them at that point in time so we could benefit off you in college and then send you to the pros where you're gonna benefit off you again. And the 2 primary sports where the

— [114:19.620 --> 114:27.940] blacks dominate were the only ones. That was an argument that's been going around for a long, long time. The salary cap argument

— [114:27.960 --> 114:36.020] is kind of new. I think just business is gonna be business. I think NHL has a salary cap, don't it? I'm not sure. Does NHL, that's

— [114:36.020 --> 114:45.860] a great question, I don't know. I believe it does. I think it's a soft 1, but I'm not sure. In baseball, it's still minority led. Yes,

— [114:45.860 --> 114:54.060] but NHL has a hard salary cap. It's a hard cap. Okay, it's predominantly minorities Oh, and they play that play. Yeah,

— [114:54.060 --> 115:02.220] I agree And I don't know why golf and tennis were in the I don't mean I don't mean to have a slow moment So I get why But it hasn't always been I

— [115:03.380 --> 115:11.580] Wouldn't know no, I'm just saying so check that so if you I mean, oh yeah, so it hasn't always been so from When black

— [115:11.580 --> 115:19.740] started to dominate football and basketball we've been dominating them ever since Also, there's no season with golf and tennis. There's no

— [115:19.740 --> 115:27.760] team. And his little salary cap is a little, in that particular argument. I'm not mad at his general slavery point. I'm not mad at

— [115:27.760 --> 115:35.920] that, but how he got there. I see. What do you guys what do you guys what do you guys think of NASCAR so it ain't no yeah Yeah,

— [115:36.000 --> 115:44.160] what do you what do you guys think of? The NBA board of governors voting on the expansion teams They say they're gonna hold the vote, but it's as good

— [115:44.160 --> 115:52.320] as a done deal for the most part those teams being those cities being Vegas and Seattle I'm extremely happy that Seattle is back in play. I felt

— [115:52.320 --> 116:00.320] like Seattle never should have lost their team. It's an amazing sports city so I'm really happy for them. Vegas remains to be seen but I'm

— [116:00.320 --> 116:08.560] not mad at that Vegas is a big a big they should have a team I do think that the NBA isn't the most interesting

— [116:08.560 --> 116:16.560] product right now so expanding it is a little iffy to me then they say Minnesota or Memphis might come to the Eastern Conference do you think

— [116:16.560 --> 116:24.600] expanding it yeah brings more viewers box maybe but again I don't think the product as it stands right now is the greatest. They gotta fix basketball. The

— [116:24.600 --> 116:32.680] NBA's expansion draft rules. If it were to expand to Seattle and Las Vegas in the 27, 28 season, Teams can protect

— [116:32.680 --> 116:41.040] 8 of their players. Teams can't protect players on expiring contracts or restricted free agents.

— [116:43.540 --> 116:52.180] Expansion teams will get to quote-unquote steal unprotected players from teams. Only 1 player taken per

— [116:52.180 --> 117:00.200] team. Contracts transferred to the amount they are already agreed to, and expansion teams get high

— [117:00.200 --> 117:08.580] chances at the number 1 pick. I remember this with Orlando and Miami. I remember Orlando and

— [117:08.580 --> 117:17.040] Miami and, yeah. I mean, the NBA has done a really good job historically of getting expansion teams into the mix. If you think about how successful the Heat franchise

— [117:17.040 --> 117:25.360] has been, you know what I mean, to be this young to have that many final appearances. Orlando has been to the finals, Toronto won a championship in Memphis, which

— [117:25.360 --> 117:33.620] was Vancouver, were very competitive. So they get them into the mix. My issue with it is what Parks was just alluding to, which is now you're adding

— [117:34.500 --> 117:42.620] more players into a league that's already watered down. See, I- Is the league watered down or the product is- I think it's both. Is it watered down or

— [117:42.620 --> 117:50.700] do you feel like- If you ask a lot of the old heads, they'll say- The structure of it is fucked up. I think it's both. I think if you ask a lot of old head basketball players, and I mean like our generation,

— [117:50.700 --> 117:58.820] like the Charles Barclays, and they'll say a lot of these guys can't play. You know what I mean? It's more shooting, you said. So there's a style of

— [117:58.820 --> 118:06.860] play issue, but then there's a question, it's just there's a lot of guys that aren't that good. And when you have expansion, I was a Sixers fan when we were just putting

— [118:06.860 --> 118:15.060] anybody on the team during that 10 win season, now you're gonna add a bunch of, you're gonna add 4 more teams, there's gonna be more of that. There's gonna be a lot of bad nights, a lot of bad basketball, and

— [118:15.060 --> 118:23.060] It's hard to watch when everybody's, to your point, playing this new style where everybody's jacking up threes. I just think it might not be a good product, but I think it's great for those cities. I'm glad those cities are

— [118:23.060 --> 118:31.120] getting teams. I think the product suffered more because there's, there's not many killers no more. Yeah. Like we friends. I'm not trying to take

— [118:31.120 --> 118:39.160] your head off walls. We are having a good time. Let's go play go to club after this and that changes the product Slavery yeah,

— [118:39.160 --> 118:47.200] you know for a few weeks. I've been asking you guys why are Houston spring break has been written on the board No 1 really gave me a straight answer. Yeah, I've been trying to.

— [118:47.200 --> 118:55.340] Where is it at? I don't see it. It's been up there for weeks and weeks and weeks. We never got to it and I never really got an answer that I was happy with as to why

— [118:55.340 --> 119:03.420] it was written up there. But, God is good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I seen it myself. Yeah. And I was

— [119:03.420 --> 119:11.440] confused because I'm old now Shout out to the college kids. Shout out to you spring break kids

— [119:11.440 --> 119:19.580] out there having a blast shout to Houston I'm not gonna be the old guy to come tell you y'all really missed out on some good spring breaks back in the day. I feel for

— [119:19.580 --> 119:27.740] you college kids now. So apparently, Miami shut down, because y'all was out there being niggerish. So they closed down the beaches, closed

— [119:27.740 --> 119:35.920] down some businesses, regained control of their town, because those people that pay millions and millions and millions of dollars to live on the beach don't want to wake up

— [119:35.920 --> 119:44.040] and see y'all pissing in the sand. Y'all was out there bucking. Y'all was out there shooting people, stabbing people.

— [119:45.660 --> 119:53.860] So Miami did what they had to do and this was a little while ago see I forgot about this yes I Forgot that they did started with the curfews remember yes started curfews and

— [119:53.860 --> 120:02.100] then after that they just are shutting it down No, now you can't come down here at all. So now I've been going back and forth with my girl trying

— [120:02.100 --> 120:10.180] to get her to help me because she got kids going to college. Help me understand how all the college kids picked Houston of all the

— [120:10.180 --> 120:18.260] places to go to in the world and she keep telling me because of the weather and I sense and I'm saying that don't

— [120:18.260 --> 120:26.340] make sense to me and prices help me help me help me with that It's a good thing is the short part Well, it's lit in beautiful city like

— [120:26.340 --> 120:34.600] it's a fun party city and it is it's not like tropical, but it's nice Yeah, but if you had your pick for spring break

— [120:34.600 --> 120:43.620] to pick any anywhere to go, I just don't get how you would land on Houston. Well Houston is again, lit weather is domestic. So

— [120:43.620 --> 120:51.740] now exactly. Anybody ain't got a passport or the capability to fly international. We're talking about college kids. Right, we're talking about college kids. But

— [120:51.740 --> 120:59.740] I see somebody, they got in town and rented a U-Haul, because they was like, yo, 1995 plus miles versus renting a car, we're going to rent this U-Haul.

— [121:00.000 --> 121:08.000] And They used the U-Haul while it was in Houston. This is budgeting, bro. And although Texas is somewhat conservative, Florida now has a reputation as being the place you don't wanna

— [121:08.000 --> 121:16.080] be. And it costs. Florida costs. Right. LA costs. If you're doing weather, you don't wanna go to somewhere where the weather's for spring

— [121:16.080 --> 121:24.160] break. So you really got Florida, Texas, California. Right, and Texas is in the middle. Texas in the middle is cheaper

— [121:24.160 --> 121:32.220] than the other 2. Like college kids can't afford to be staying in these high ass LA hotels. You can't afford to be staying, you know what I'm saying? If you're a college kid during spring

— [121:32.220 --> 121:40.520] break is it important to you to be where all the other college kids are going absolutely Yes, college kid absolutely all right, so that's the biggest draw at all if every college

— [121:40.520 --> 121:49.200] all over says we go into Houston I can see somebody going to Houston every clip. I've seen it don't look like a good time at all at all over nothing

— [121:49.200 --> 121:57.760] about it nothing about it looks fun Absolute mess an absolute mess

— [121:59.440 --> 122:07.440] 41 year old brain no with 22 year old brain 1 means everybody's bad chicks in the line you get to know that

— [122:07.440 --> 122:15.460] in the line that's the other thing about what happened there yeah girls y'all get a spring break versus the girls we had for spring

— [122:15.460 --> 122:24.180] break Houston like Houston on a norm got bad just yes but they might not be outside because listen I don't know what the y'all need to talk about Houston

— [122:24.220 --> 122:32.300] the same way that they're not set up the infrastructure is not set up to receive a

— [122:32.300 --> 122:40.340] lot of people. It's also not set up yet. That's kind of where I'm going to. So the line is like he said, wrapped multiple times around

— [122:40.340 --> 122:48.420] the block. They charging 3 to 600, 3 to 700 per head for you to get in there. Most of y'all are not getting in there. So now y'all gotta go

— [122:48.420 --> 122:56.420] migrate to the gas station that's up the street. And now I'm watching y'all party at the gas station. There's not been 1 clip of spring breaking in Houston that

— [122:56.420 --> 123:04.840] looks fly or lit. Which made me say, if I was in San Diego, I don't care if no other college is here. I wouldn't. Oh, maybe you.

— [123:04.860 --> 123:12.940] I wouldn't. But now like we saying, that gas station look lit to them they're lit. Oh hang on there the gas station let's go. We

— [123:12.940 --> 123:20.980] cover Freaknik when was jumping out of cars in the middle of traffic. Freaknik was the greatest time ever damn near. So if I could take this

— [123:20.980 --> 123:29.480] bad chick around the back of the gas station and get right to that's 20 that's something. Houston when there's no event. Right.

— [123:29.980 --> 123:38.200] This thing is a contradiction. Houston when there's no event the poppin brunch line might be too long for you. So

— [123:38.200 --> 123:47.120] now you just add and Thousands and thousands. I don't know. Hey, you like it. I love it. That looks a mess. That's some young people With

— [123:47.120 --> 123:55.340] that They'll go out there. They had them out there in them lines. They having a blast. Would you send your kid out there? No, I'd be scared. I would be terrified. Thanks.

— [123:55.340 --> 124:03.500] My girl's on spring break now, but she didn't want to go. She went to, she ended up going to California and Mexico. Yeah, I was about to say Mexico. If you got money then hottest like

— [124:04.020 --> 124:12.320] a visa to loom all of that stuff is oh That's a lot. It's a big stretch from from Houston. No, that's what he said if you got You ain't

— [124:12.320 --> 124:25.600] got to deal with them options that everybody else is playing with you can go over there, but it's not yeah Maybe I'm just seeing You're

— [124:25.600 --> 124:33.840] seeing a broke spring break. That's what niggas been doing. I said maybe that's what I'm saying. No that is what you said but that's what. And you want to be around other college kids like what you said earlier. That's what niggas been doing. Guess what? Most

— [124:33.840 --> 124:41.880] of the niggas in college broke. Broke. Yeah. You broke as fuck in college. So guess what? We're going to find a way to make this broke shit lit. So y'all went to college,

— [124:41.880 --> 124:50.500] so we looking at different. Yeah. Ramen and ketchup and spaghetti. For me, the shit that was broke didn't get to go to college. It's

— [131:39.500 --> 131:47.780] The great Kiki Shepard passed away today or last night. Suddenly, actually, massive heart attack. I

— [131:47.780 --> 131:56.080] know people who were in communication with her over the last few weeks, so it seemed very sudden. People were talking, she had a golf tournament scheduled. Any black person

— [131:56.080 --> 132:04.120] in America knows who Kiki Shepard is because they know Showtime at the Apollo, which is a staple of black culture. It's a staple of our tradition

— [132:04.120 --> 132:12.700] of music and performance. And while the show has had lots of hosts, there's really only been 1 co-host. And

— [132:12.700 --> 132:21.060] that co-host is Kiki Shepard. And I'm using the word co-host because a lot of times we think of her just as the person on stage, just the person telling people,

— [132:21.140 --> 132:29.160] you know, to rub, you know, for good luck. But she was more than that. She would help produce the show. She helped break acts and talent. There are so many acts of all

— [132:29.160 --> 132:37.460] races, but especially black and brown artists who broke because of the Apollo. And she was a big part of that. She was incredibly

— [132:37.460 --> 132:45.820] gifted and talented herself. She's a Howard University grad, business administration degree. She was part of the DC Repertory, she helped start the DC Repertory Dance

— [132:45.820 --> 132:54.180] Theater. She acted, she's in stage plays like Mama Wanna Sing, which most of us know from our generation. She was even in The Wiz, she had a role. I

— [132:54.180 --> 133:02.250] mean, she was an incredible dancer, actor, singer. She just did everything as a lot of people from that generation did, even when they didn't get credit for it. But she

— [133:02.250 --> 133:10.800] was also like our imaginary idol, our imaginary girlfriend, imaginary wife, imaginary mom, and at some point imaginary auntie. History

— [133:10.800 --> 133:19.180] will remember Vanna White, but she was our Vanna White, except she was bigger and more important to us at a time where there weren't more of us.

— [133:19.320 --> 133:27.440] You know, she was on TV when nobody was on TV. She was a model when there were no other models. And I just, you know,

— [133:27.440 --> 133:35.500] I'm glad that her name will be remembered, but it's going to be remembered not just for what she did on that stage but what she did across every aspect of her

— [133:35.500 --> 133:43.640] life. She was a philanthropist, she was a giver. In fact, I don't know if you know she was having a golf tournament just next month's schedule which is going to raise money for

— [133:43.640 --> 133:51.780] charity. So you know, I just still have it. Yeah, yeah, they still have it. So you know, rest in peace to our now ancestor,

— [133:52.740 --> 134:00.760] Kiki Shepard. It was a life well lived, and we honor and love her. We love you, Kiki. Rest in peace. Thank you. Thank you.

— [134:01.240 --> 134:09.320] Now you go in front. Mark maybe do know a couple people that know him. He killed this guy. He knew the facts. He knew the facts. It wasn't like he... Yeah,

— [134:09.320 --> 134:17.860] yeah, yeah. He do it. Yeah. Mark, has the word actress been removed from the database? Because I noticed that we're

— [134:17.860 --> 134:25.900] not calling women actresses anymore we're considering them actors is that a thing I think some people are trying to go more gender neutral which I don't think actor

— [134:25.900 --> 134:34.970] is it to me it that's what I'm saying you know I'd say a lot of people still use actress I think it's just a preference thing in a lot of spaces. Okay. Yeah.

— [134:34.970 --> 134:43.520] They certainly still do it at the big awards shows like Oscars. So they say actress? They still say actress, yeah. Don't worry audience members. You will not get a paradise

— [134:43.520 --> 134:52.460] review from me this week. Did you watch it? I've seen it. Okay. You don't want to keep hating. I

— [134:52.460 --> 135:00.460] mean. I thought this 1 was pretty good. This 1, this 1 was pretty good now that they got back to some of the characters that we give a fuck about

— [135:00.460 --> 135:09.000] and some of the storylines that we were waiting on continuance from. I have a quick question. Do y'all still just call him Randall? Yeah,

— [135:09.000 --> 135:17.020] or Sterling. I don't know. What is his name in this year? Xavier. Xavier. Oh, I don't call him Xavier at all. Is Randall or Sterling? I'm going to

— [135:17.020 --> 135:26.440] tell you. I have nothing to say because you guys killed me for giving you paradise reviews,

— [135:28.120 --> 135:36.240] especially when I said that the wife shouldn't have slid with homeboy and the kid looking for

— [135:36.240 --> 135:44.720] safety when the world was coming to an end for me it was satire kinda but you guys made valid points

— [135:45.440 --> 135:53.900] I Will keep my paradise reviews to myself until the end of the show I thought this was excellent. I don't need to make mention

— [135:54.220 --> 136:02.860] of how do try to kill homeboy Who could Hey Almost

— [136:02.860 --> 136:12.000] got away with it. Hey who couldn't hey. Oh my god You saw that I? Mean

— [136:12.000 --> 136:20.120] I'm not gonna say that I saw that But when you and your wife were separated the guy that she normally the guy that slides in right after

— [136:20.120 --> 136:28.240] you He normally doesn't have your best interests at heart I think I think the circumstance is the first thing

— [136:28.240 --> 136:36.420] you said when you seen to do was I love your wife Yeah, she's my best friend. Yeah, I they've taken her from me. They didn't say they've taken up

— [136:36.420 --> 136:44.440] from him and they take her Yeah, but it is like and now you show up as the husband the husband that could fight the husband that's trained a

— [136:44.440 --> 136:52.440] trained agent who couldn't have seen that this dude would try to kill him. That's all I got to say about a little bit a little too much

— [136:52.440 --> 137:00.740] faith in it. Yeah, come on, but because he's fat. No, I think he was shit. I think he honestly been homeboy

— [137:00.740 --> 137:09.140] the whole time treating that like a dada dada. Yo, you're going to just sit here and do nothing. Shut up. He gave him the trigger for the it wouldn't

— [137:09.140 --> 137:17.480] let him touch a baby my like Oh, and they can sit over there. Yeah. Yeah, sit your dumbass down. Like that's how you've been treating home What episode you have to now Is it

— [137:17.480 --> 137:25.620] 6? It's 2 left. I'll tell you this. And they've been already renewed for the third season which I think will be their final. They said it. Well it is their final. They said it.

— [137:25.620 --> 137:34.000] But I was gonna say you could kind of tell it ain't being received the way they might have thought. The fact that they even had Sterling

— [137:34.000 --> 137:42.380] K Brown up there with the signs with the signs announcing season 3 We in the middle of season 2 He's

— [137:42.380 --> 137:50.380] holding the signs in front of the camera like homeboy was in front of the bunker Yeah see, I think I think they rolled it out so slow and there's so much ground to

— [137:50.380 --> 137:58.440] cover that it really needs 10 episodes. Yeah, yeah, I would agree. You know what I'm saying? I think in these 10 episodes instead of 8, then they could have really got they

— [137:58.440 --> 138:06.600] off on the last 2. I think. Yeah, it just it just it's just moving super slow the way they keep tying

— [138:06.600 --> 138:14.600] it back into paradise to here. It's just it's just a lot of ground to cover and they need more more episodes for me. It's fine. I'm already on down to fuck Saint Louis. Thank

— [138:14.600 --> 138:22.740] you. Let's get to the great. It's a great day. Y'all want to move slow with we out of here. I'm on DTF St. Louis now. Jason Bateman.

— [138:22.740 --> 138:30.760] You did it again. Are you caught up? Yeah, 3 episodes got right to it. Third, the third, the first episode. I was like, this is weird. The second episode was Like, this is weird, but

— [138:30.760 --> 138:39.340] I might be into this. The third episode was amazing TV. That last episode was amazing. I'm here. I

— [138:39.340 --> 138:47.520] like Dark Humor, so I was with it, but it was weird, it was weird. There's a lot of weird. No, this is kinda a comedy. Bro, that position where

— [138:47.520 --> 138:55.740] she's all like. Oh my God. What is it called? The Amazon. No, the power or something. Yeah, power Amazon. No, he was telling her to say powerhouse Powerhouse

— [138:57.200 --> 139:05.280] But the position was the Amazon That can't be a comfortable position As I was watching I'm like this doesn't look like it's fun at all. I knew dude was

— [139:05.280 --> 139:13.400] into some weird, when he's like, yo, I just want you to sit on my face, but like, go on about your day. Go on about your business. And make your phone calls and handle your business. I was

— [139:13.440 --> 139:23.960] like, huh? This show is really, really, really good. It's really good. It's really, really, really good. With every episode, what I'm enjoying, with every episode, the

— [139:23.960 --> 139:32.540] guy to die becomes more likeable. Yeah for sure. Although he's extremely likeable every

— [139:32.540 --> 139:41.220] step, every time you learn something new about this guy, he was, you like him, you're mad that he's the 1 that died. Also

— [139:41.220 --> 139:50.460] what I thought was interesting, and I'm not going to give the whole show away because it's really that great of a show, you should watch it, but when Jason Bateman and Homeboy's

— [139:50.560 --> 139:58.580] wife was at the show watching him do the sign, watching him do the, and she was like, yo I love my man. She fell in love with him. I love him, we

— [139:58.580 --> 140:06.960] not working, I know me and you did whatever but I'm kind of like as someone that's cheated before,

— [140:08.300 --> 140:16.300] them highlighting that moment that, yo, I'm out here with the person that I'm, we held hands for a quick second, but I'm re-falling

— [140:16.300 --> 140:24.400] in love with my partner and I don't want to continue to do it and all of this is hard Yo, it's hard. They killing they killing so much about this

— [140:24.400 --> 140:32.440] those all the actors I don't remember homeboys name, but I don't know if you were privy to any of the Lily Allen Tea Lily Allen the British singer.

— [140:32.440 --> 140:40.760] It's married to do the do the died. He was also in stranger things She made a whole dis album about him. That's my last I had no idea She's running around torn wearing dresses

— [140:40.760 --> 140:50.940] with his receipts from dates where he was cheating on her like she's going to absolutely crazy I think she's losing now though cuz he is crushing the role Yes

— [140:52.080 --> 141:00.180] And just how they focus on how 2 couples are Going through dry spells in their sex lives for different reasons.

— [141:00.200 --> 141:08.500] Yeah, the reasoning was funny. It's like it's like yo The psychology behind that I'd be real shit. It's so deep. He's saying

— [141:09.000 --> 141:17.300] yo dog She's an umpire now. I was umpire. She's she's got on this umpire outfit And why would I want to the umpire?

— [141:17.320 --> 141:25.700] He's like I can't she's like dog. I'm an umpire cuz you're broke I had to get a job you broke Bastard

— [141:26.320 --> 141:34.700] and we not because I didn't even know there was a word for when your dick is Curved like that on these Peronies this show is a trip. It is

— [141:35.020 --> 141:43.180] a super trip She can't him cuz his dick is curved and he's got medicine. He got it Let's go with this show is nuts. It's

— [141:43.180 --> 141:51.180] nuts But it's it's it's getting more serious and better the further you get into it. What do you say, so yeah. Like it started off quirky and weird and dark

— [141:51.180 --> 141:59.320] humor and I'm like, okay, this is cool, but I don't know how this is gonna play out. That's another 1 of my favorite things about the show. I'm normally pretty good about guessing who did what

— [141:59.340 --> 142:07.480] and who the killer is, no idea. I'm on the wife right now. You're having a good, I'm on the other wife. Cause they won't show her anymore. I think

— [142:07.480 --> 142:15.480] she did it day. It's day is shown her since episode 1 I think she had 2 little cameos. I think she found out and It's setting

— [142:15.480 --> 142:23.640] them up. I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at the wife. I haven't seen her enough. Jason's wife. Yeah, Jason's wife. But the wife that was cheating

— [142:23.700 --> 142:31.920] at first I was pretty guilty after this last episode. I'm gonna do whatever it takes. I at the end. Yeah. After this last episode, it's almost like they're there.

— [142:31.920 --> 142:40.080] They want you to believe it's his wife. For sure. Or him or his wife, and it's like too easy. And it's like, I can't, no, I think it's the wife. Like even from where they found out about

— [142:40.080 --> 142:48.080] the Jamba Ju- where you sat there, you ordered them shits over and over and over and over and over waiting for him to get there. Like, awesome creep. And she been playing him

— [142:48.080 --> 142:56.100] the whole time. And now she keep mentioning, oh, insurance, I have insurance, I need you to do that. Like, he's such a sucker that he's going along with this not knowing and I think

— [142:56.100 --> 143:04.280] she just said I mean It's it's dressed up like she's walking him down the path But I'm gonna even highlight that I thought was amazing right

— [143:04.280 --> 143:12.660] like oftentimes as Committed men once you cheat you just got a rear that you just got a rear whatever comes with

— [143:12.660 --> 143:21.000] you cheated You're a horrible person and you play. Oh, but it wasn't me and you throw all the lines out there This show is showing you how a dude

— [143:21.000 --> 143:29.180] could be minding his own business She targeted that nigga. Yes She really did watermelon breeze.

— [143:29.540 --> 143:37.800] He's Also a terrible friend. Go get her. Yeah, go get her. Watermelon Breeze. She was the Watermelon Breeze. Yes, little hot ass.

— [143:37.920 --> 143:46.220] These girls be hot to try. And he had no clue. Of course he was going to fuck the girl. She came in Jamba Juice Every morning

— [143:46.220 --> 143:54.280] the same time I did and ordered the same drink of me and played I see games with me You gotta girl even if it's my best friends guy. He

— [143:54.280 --> 144:02.300] should not fuck her Their dirty talk was incredibly wild. Well, I don't know that they was best friends when it happened. That's true. They became best

— [144:02.300 --> 144:10.640] friends. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Because I believe Marty, Marty, I've been calling him Marty. I know. I've been calling him Marty. Marty

— [144:11.380 --> 144:19.440] Randall. But when Marty was in the interrogation room, I'm like, hold up now. This is my man. Yeah. He's defending it. I love, love

— [144:19.440 --> 144:28.400] this guy. Listen, I don't want to give too much of the show away. This is not an ad on HBO DTF St. Louis. Great

— [146:31.740 --> 146:40.680] people out there y'all had a really cool challenge going on where an older person would

— [146:40.680 --> 146:50.180] be showing themselves in the camera and then the kid voice would pop on and say, hey dad, what were you like in the 90s I

— [146:50.180 --> 146:58.600] thought this was such a fly challenge that you idiot up somehow so it started with me saying fly

— [146:58.600 --> 147:15.780] older men and women Panning to I

— [147:15.780 --> 147:24.380] thought you was having a heart attack. No, no, no. I was about to call an ambulance. It was him, nigga. My whole face is turned this way, looking at this. Stop

— [147:24.380 --> 147:32.440] picking the chooser before I f*** your niggas up in here, yo. Stop. We picking the chooser? I looked at you, I thought your eyes were closed. I thought you was having a

— [147:32.440 --> 147:40.740] seizure. I ain't gonna hold you. I was gonna try to do CPR. I'm gonna jump on your stomach. Come on,

— [147:40.740 --> 147:48.820] man. Without the mouth to mouth. Bring me back to life. So, the 90s people were showing their old sh** of them in the

— [147:48.820 --> 147:57.180] 90s. It was a really fly challenge for older people we don't get too many of those then you idiots came and started panning showing yourself

— [147:57.180 --> 148:05.280] and then panning to like Shaq or like Morris Chestnut or your lookalike is from the 90s. And

— [148:05.280 --> 148:13.440] I think that's super corny. I know y'all are having fun. So who am I to come rain on a parade? But some challenges you just gotta skip. If you

— [148:13.440 --> 148:21.480] weren't lit in the 90s. Leave it alone. Or you weren't old enough that have been moving around in the 90s, Why do you have to do it? The first person I saw do it was Tim Meadows and that was

— [148:21.480 --> 148:29.780] kind of funny Because he did down cheeto that was a little bit funny Tim Meadows is a community all the people I seen it with some Yeah, I means and they was Killing them in the 90s

— [148:29.800 --> 148:37.840] women were showing themselves in the 90s like this. My son gonna ask me what I was doing in the 90s and this is it and they was showing that s***.

— [148:38.400 --> 148:46.560] Yeah they were showing that s***. Oh so you didn't see the people that have turned it into a joke. It disturbed me enough to want to come in here and get that off my heart. Would you be able to do something like that? Yeah,

— [148:54.580 --> 149:02.740] to me and my little Tommy Hill figured outfits. Yeah, the 90s is the album. 99, yeah, 99, 98,

— [149:03.400 --> 149:11.600] 18, 19, yeah, I could do that. There was a time. I wish we had more pictures. You know what I mean? They are really important. Because kids today take a picture of every moment.

— [149:11.600 --> 149:19.620] Every day they got 1000 pitches. I don't think I have 20 pictures of myself. I don't got a lot, I don't. Over like a 10 year period. Little strict rules in the court. It

— [149:19.620 --> 149:27.909] was a 9. The cameras are not allowed. No more. No. Ew. I don't like a 10-year period strict

— [149:27.939 --> 149:36.180] rules in the cold No, that was funny. That's disgusting. Aw, come on, man. Yo, yo. Maybe

— [149:36.180 --> 149:44.380] you probably should bring that coke shit up again. That's disgusting. It's hurtful. Oh. Ugh. I

— [149:44.380 --> 149:52.840] can't say way after that. Yeah, me either. You fucking ice. My brain automatically went to what I would do if I found that tape with Mark on it. Oh shit.

— [149:53.300 --> 150:01.460] I don't know how. Pitchy on. No. Something's going on. I would not do that. You can't do that. I

— [150:01.460 --> 150:09.520] wouldn't do that. I'll show you a little bit of cult footage 1 day. I got some. Really? Got a little cult footage. You got some on your phone. No, you said something at home. He said I got some on my phone.

— [150:09.520 --> 150:17.520] I said on my phone. Oh, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Apologize. Yeah, I'll find it. What you had on? What was I wearing? A robe. Yeah, a Jell-O-Bear.

— [150:17.520 --> 150:25.940] A what? Jelly Bean. What you said? Did you have a sweet hat? No, I didn't. Damn it. There were some sweet hats in the videos I saw. At the end, I did have 1 of

— [150:26.340 --> 150:34.460] Tarbouche. You got promotion? You don't say all the names. You got promotion? It's like a Tarbouche. It's like a tall face. Yeah, I got you. I don't know how much you had. Oh, you wore the tall face. At the end. Yeah, yeah,

— [150:34.460 --> 150:42.820] yeah. Tall boots. Looks like a shrine or a messiah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the raccoon car. Yeah, but I- And none of them's spot in Brooklyn. They still got the coach spot in Brooklyn.

— [150:42.820 --> 150:50.960] Bushugab, Bushugab, yeah. Yeah. Yep, still there. I would go off. Who was that that was tasked with finding the next interesting topic for us?

— [150:51.760 --> 150:59.840] So I was about to go anyway, so Ice on the board, you asked where does personal happiness rank to you? Yeah, and your life. I wasn't know why

— [150:59.840 --> 151:19.780] you asked, I was more curious kids know why you asked that you kind of use going through something I mean I have conversations search for personal happiness Because

— [151:19.780 --> 151:27.880] if you're on the check I would have thought the same thing you thought if I knew he wrote that on the board. Yeah. Nah, I said, you know, this would be a good question to bring to the pod. Based on

— [151:27.880 --> 151:35.980] what? Where do you rank personal happiness? Yeah. Like, what do you mean? So, I was talking to somebody and he was saying like yo, what he said I'm about to tell

— [151:35.980 --> 151:46.760] you what he said I'm here to play I

— [151:46.760 --> 151:54.880] was on the phone with Joe. Oh, wait, bitch. Oh, yeah, wait, no. Oh, this is me. Yeah, this was you. Remember our conversation the other day?

— [151:54.880 --> 152:02.960] I'm bringing it to the pot now. Oh, shit. So I was on the phone with Joe, and he was just like, yo, man. I got a bad memory. This was the worst. I don't remember nothing he said.

— [152:02.960 --> 152:11.580] I'm playing, this wasn't joke. You gotta write that out low for me. I'm sweating a little bit. I gotta pee already. But

— [152:11.580 --> 152:19.620] yeah, he was just like, yo, I'm doing XYZ. And He was like, yo, are you happy in your life? I'm like, yeah, my, like

— [152:19.620 --> 152:27.980] a lot of people are happy. He was like, yeah, but what does it mean to you being happy versus everything that you gotta juggle and deal with? I'm like, well,

— [152:27.980 --> 152:36.020] I gotta make sure everybody good and then making sure everybody good kind of makes me happy. And he was like, it's kinda the opposite for me.

— [152:36.020 --> 152:44.180] I'm losing my happiness because I'm taking care of so much. So then that's why I said, let me ask the, I said, yo, this is a good question to ask the family. It's a great question.

— [152:44.600 --> 152:52.960] Where does your personal happiness rank as importance to you on the scale. I feel like the older I get, the more it drops. Yeah, my shit is in the bottle. Really?

— [152:54.440 --> 153:02.760] Yeah. I don't really think about my own self-fulfillment. As long as my family and all that other shit got what they need,

— [153:02.900 --> 153:10.940] you kinda... That's your fulfillment. It's just a responsibility that you won't

— [153:10.940 --> 153:19.120] even think about being fulfilled in. You know what I'm saying? It just don't come up. And I think people convince themselves, like your homie, that makes them happy.

— [153:19.120 --> 153:27.400] That's just a way of dealing with the fact that you're not that you're not actually given like sure care to you So it's a really good question. It breaks out for me, but I'm easy I don't require

— [153:27.400 --> 153:35.460] much and as long as my wife is happy and my family's everyone's good I'm but I don't like these in the same stress myself out to make sure everyone else is

— [153:35.460 --> 153:43.620] happier than me. That's a lot. That's a lot of, you put a lot on yourself. Yeah, I agree. I'm not disagreeing. But sometimes it's just like making sure everybody's

— [153:43.620 --> 153:51.700] okay. I'll give you an example. If you gotta do a lot of care work. That means you might not have time to listen to music or work out

— [153:51.700 --> 153:59.840] or hang with your homies. So it's not that you're making sure people are happy, it's not that you're just making sure people are like okay, like just well, and in doing that, you ain't got time to

— [153:59.840 --> 154:07.920] do the shit that actually makes you happy. That's what I find in a lot of people. I see a lot of women go through that Yeah, you know me especially like with young with small single mothers single mothers single

— [154:07.920 --> 154:16.140] mothers They don't they could they can't think about themselves Yeah, what I want don't matter you know I'm saying I might want to go to happy hour after work you gotta

— [154:16.140 --> 154:24.300] go pick up another human being make sure that they're dressed fit all the other you are the last priority so when I swore man like you don't got kids

— [154:29.540 --> 154:45.680] yes Hey girl, hey, go ahead call out a family dollar girl Hey

— [154:45.680 --> 154:53.800] what's that term? Future farming What was it? That's when I come in and- Future bombing. Future bomb. The single mothers or

— [154:53.800 --> 155:01.860] farm. Come on, girl, what it take? Tell me what you're going to have tonight. I'll pay you for the 2 days. I think it's a great

— [155:01.860 --> 155:09.920] topic, Ice. They don't take shit serious. I know, I know. I just said it was something- I think it's a great topic, too. Yeah, but it's low. It's low for a lot of us man, you know We got family me like kids

— [155:09.920 --> 155:18.300] and you know And then you start to think when everybody started to be happy around you and you start looking like what? That starts to make you happy or you start to look inside.

— [155:18.420 --> 155:26.420] If they're not appreciative, you start to look inside and say, okay, what can I do, what should I do to make myself happy? It's funny you say that, Flip. Because sometimes the people that you're

— [155:26.420 --> 155:34.460] trying to make happy aren't appreciative of the lengths that you're willing to go to make them happy or the work that you're doing to make them happy. They may not even know. A lot

— [155:34.460 --> 155:42.620] of times they don't know. I would have thought you, I thought you guys said something a little bit different. Cause you're 1 of those people I look to who has a balance between

— [155:42.620 --> 155:50.640] the 2 things. Like you take care of your family, you do all the things you need to do, but you also don't neglect yourself.

— [155:50.980 --> 155:59.340] And I find, and I actually, and you're the person that's always telling me, like make sure you take care yourself make sure you like you are good for a while for that I wouldn't be a funny

— [156:04.660 --> 156:12.880] I'm saying you're killing it I asked you how Alex was doing today. What you told me, nigga? I have no idea. I have no clue. I know. I'm just kidding.

— [156:15.100 --> 156:24.200] How your son do it? I don't know. I didn't say it. With a straight face? Yeah. You got to be doing good. Ain't nobody calling my phone. No, no. Wow.

— [156:24.380 --> 156:32.439] I'm joking. He's in state of emergency. What did you say, Martin? Like the balance? Just balancing it? Yeah. I was just surprised. It sounds like you're saying it's labor. That shit got us

— [156:32.439 --> 156:40.760] upside down. Listen, I make it look different because in all reality my I got a goal to make I'm saying

— [156:40.760 --> 156:48.900] and it's I have to maintain a lifestyle to keep my my family happy but that shit comes with a lot of ups and downs everybody don't agree my wife

— [156:48.900 --> 156:57.000] don't agree we just had something the other day you know I'm saying so she doesn't know who was right in it both she might have been I understood

— [156:57.000 --> 157:05.920] her but what's the point she was trying to get out who knows I don't talk about that But what I'm saying is that what was your point? I don't know neither The

— [157:05.920 --> 157:14.100] point is I'm not gonna change any when it comes to anything pertaining my business I'm not changing anything for provides for my family I'm sorry if there's nothing else that could be presented to me in order

— [157:14.100 --> 157:22.240] for me to do something to make up what you Know it don't have to go over that's I

— [157:22.240 --> 157:30.640] stand on that you understand like I believe Some of us come from struggle. I was laying on a couch with my family, nigga, a broken ass couch on the floor of my mom's

— [157:30.640 --> 157:38.640] basement. I am not going back to that, period. Not going back to like living like that. My children have become accustomed to, you know, a lifestyle and I'm going to maintain that.

— [157:39.040 --> 157:47.080] And it takes a lot of hard work. But also, you know, 1 thing I learned about this is that My reaction has to be different. I have to

— [157:47.080 --> 157:55.100] grow up, because my kids are bigger now, so they look at things different. My daughter heard me yelling the other day, she looking at me like shaking her head. That don't feel good. Like

— [157:55.100 --> 158:03.340] she's shaking her head like, oh, you talking like this, you sound crazy. It doesn't feel good to have your daughter do that. So you have to respond different and try to find a medium. That's what I'm working on now. Just find

— [158:03.340 --> 158:11.520] a medium and how to balance it. So the balance of it, it may look like it, but it comes with it's ups and downs. You just gotta just make sure you do it and get to it. My

— [158:11.520 --> 158:19.760] wife brought up some shit I brought up in the park as, oh, if you make all the money, you can do what you want. I said, you heard that? I don't even think she'd be here with me. Somebody probably sent

— [158:19.760 --> 158:31.240] that to her. It's a fucking friend over there. Somebody clipped that up and sent it to her. Do you believe that? Do I believe what? Like if you make all the money you can do what you want. Flip,

— [158:31.240 --> 158:39.360] it's a trap. It's a trap. You're going to get this clip too, Flip. You're going to get a clip. Well, I believe

— [158:39.360 --> 158:47.740] if you make all the money, you're able to... We got it. No. We got it. Thank you for your time. It should be a factor. Yeah,

— [158:47.740 --> 158:55.960] I don't believe that though. I think that everybody out there, no matter what you do, no matter where you are in life, you should put some time to your family. For yourself

— [158:56.740 --> 159:05.020] and your happiness, no matter how much you provide, no matter how much you're showing up for people, no matter how much you work, and find something that you can get a little bit of joy from

— [159:05.020 --> 159:13.220] as a guy is probably something like bowling. You ain't gonna get a lot of action. You should have darks. A little darks. Yeah, yeah. The little hoop game.

— [159:13.260 --> 159:21.520] The little hoop game. See if you can Get a bunch of those in. The little punch machine, boom! 890. Don't skip the gym because you gotta

— [159:21.940 --> 159:30.060] pay for someone's lifestyle. That's crazy. Would you say strip clubs would be a form of, you know, yeah, there's something to happiness? Absolutely. I mean, maybe for some people out there. And then

— [159:30.060 --> 159:38.100] What if that's your form of happiness, not you, but somebody's form of happiness, and they said that the other may not be, you know, so welcoming to that. How do you balance

— [159:38.100 --> 159:46.120] that? How does a person balance that? What? You lie, nigga. Oh, what are you talking about? Good thing about strip clubs, they're open

— [159:46.120 --> 159:54.360] really late, so you could like, yeah babe. Oh, got you. If you live with the person, it's hard to dip out at 3 a.m. And explain where you at. I

— [159:54.360 --> 160:05.140] gotta go talk to Minister Fabricon. Hello? I'll be back. The

— [160:05.140 --> 160:13.160] strip club fight is a fight that I would have kept going a little longer in my relationship had they not just kept hiring 22 year olds in the strip clubs. It's like she won. I'm not gonna lie, last time I

— [160:13.160 --> 160:21.360] went over there it was like I might be too old for this. What was her, when you say she won, what do you mean? I'm sorry. Whatever

— [160:21.800 --> 160:29.800] our debates were about the strip club and strip club etiquette strip club lifestyle Like whatever I was holding on to it was over with his heart when

— [160:29.800 --> 160:38.000] they die She she won this house because it's stupid New York clubs. Yeah, gotcha Okay, I can't even stubborn if I wanted to yeah, like I've naturally like

— [160:38.040 --> 160:46.220] grown up like my mistake It is like a warning. I didn't like it like that. That's why we need to go to Vegas. We need to go to motherfuckers. We need to find the Old Head Strip Club.

— [160:46.240 --> 160:54.360] Yeah, we need to go to the bar. Titty bar. With the milks. That's that shit in the car, because with the truck driver shit, the frees took us to him. I was about to say, 1 free? I knew

— [160:54.360 --> 161:03.060] he was going to say 1 free. That's what it was. I knew it. He took us to the truck driver's strip club spot is very different from the cool dude's strip club spot. Yeah,

— [161:03.060 --> 161:11.380] in Bloomfield. That was some damn took off. And I wasn't the 1 that took us there. We went in there, we did a lap. We turned around and walked out. And we got right the smooth out there. You know who took us to that spot?

— [161:11.380 --> 161:19.520] I have no idea. I used to live a block away from there. And I only been in there once in my whole life. I lived a block away from those strip clubs can be kind

— [161:19.520 --> 161:27.720] of fun. Amber looked like she just

— [161:27.720 --> 161:35.760] gave birth. Yeah, no, Amber looked like she did. In the back. The kid is with the house mom. Hey

— [161:35.760 --> 161:43.780] yo fam, nah I'm cool. We walked around there and walked right out. Nah I'm good. I'm low maintenance too so I don't need a whole lot to

— [161:43.780 --> 161:52.140] be happy. Imagine being my PS5. I don't need a whole lot to be happy at all. That's what you get older that's what you get you get your video game system.

— [161:53.720 --> 162:03.220] Yeah give me some peace a good meal a good show everybody I love in good spirits and good health And

— [162:03.220 --> 162:11.360] I'll be happy with that. Shout out to you. I had a blast at my dad's birthday dinner. Yeah, I told you I did. Last night. Now you called me for the surprise party.

— [162:11.360 --> 162:19.840] I had a blast for his birthday dinner. I'm really enjoying having a little sister. Like. Why? Because she's

— [162:19.900 --> 162:28.220] funny, yo. She sat at the table and said, all my friends say my parents told us that.

— [162:33.460 --> 162:41.600] I never put myself in her, my little sisters in the sixth grade. So 12. It's 11, 12. Yeah, something

— [162:41.600 --> 162:55.600] like that and pop turn 70 If

If you got to pull that out. Yeah. It's bad. But I'm just saying, we be so caught up in our lives, like, it ain't till I go and

— [163:03.700 --> 163:11.720] I got to really stop to put my brain in Their yeah experience on earth and what's going on like with my brothers in college

— [163:11.720 --> 163:20.020] and what they got going on How they doing good good. Well 1 of them What never mind got to report

— [163:20.020 --> 163:28.040] on yet, I think you do Yeah 1 way really hearing

— [163:28.040 --> 163:36.080] from too much Yeah, I think they'll be hustling they go on the same school. Yeah, Oh That's

— [163:36.080 --> 163:44.480] the other thing right like my my brother I'll respect his anonymity Whatever course he taking in

— [163:44.680 --> 163:53.273] college got him about to go abroad for a year. Fire. Wow. Fire. Wow.

— [163:53.273 --> 164:01.460] They shipping his ass to Japan. Fire. Super fire. To live and work and function and learn for

— [164:01.460 --> 164:09.480] a year. I wish I remember the name of what he's taken. Business abroad or whatever the fuck it is. That's amazing. I think that's the scariest shit I've

— [164:09.480 --> 164:17.800] ever heard in my life. I don't have that, it is amazing. It is scary, it's scary, but it's a good scary. Oh please, fuck you.

— [164:17.800 --> 164:25.980] That's a good scary, B. It is. It makes you way more well-rounded. You'll start seeing the world totally different than you see it. Just being around here. You know, I mean it's

— [164:25.980 --> 164:34.080] dope I mean people their entire Ideology everything is the block that they grew up on. The 8 block radius that they lived in.

— [164:34.080 --> 164:42.100] The more life you get to live, and they young, the more life they live and the experiences they're getting. Just hearing that would make me drop out of school.

— [164:42.620 --> 164:50.780] What? What? That you have to go to Japan for a year and just be and learn how to live. You've been out

— [164:50.780 --> 164:58.780] your parents' house for a hot 8 months. Yeah, it was. Now they just want some money. I mean, as a freshman, that sounds terrifying to me. It

— [164:58.780 --> 165:06.780] is scary. It's scary as s***. But just as a freshman, it is a little more scary, I think around junior year, because now

— [165:06.780 --> 165:15.240] you have been living outside of your parents' house for a couple years. Even though college is like, I always say college is like a bridge

— [165:15.240 --> 165:23.300] between living in your mama house to living in your own house. You get what I'm saying? It's supervision there, you got RAs and all that, and you can't just run

— [165:23.300 --> 165:31.400] amok and do whatever you want, but you got mad more leniency than when you were at home. So I think it's dope. But as a freshman, I don't know

— [165:31.400 --> 165:39.440] if I would let my kid go to Japan as a freshman. What sophomore is going to be next year? Maybe junior. What's the worry? Junior. My niece went. My

— [165:39.440 --> 165:47.780] niece lived in Italy for a year. She lived in Italy for a year. What year of college? Junior. She lived in Italy for a year, came back speaking fluent

— [165:47.780 --> 165:55.840] Italian. Matter of fact, Toy went. That's why Toy speaks fluent Spanish. Toy went abroad for a year. That shit is dope. I think it's dope. I

— [165:55.840 --> 166:04.200] think it gives you just a broader perspective on how you see the world. And I'm talking shit. The guy that goes to college and signs up for this particular he's prepared

— [166:06.660 --> 166:15.320] Ready to go and do like that. So that's just fire salute to my siblings just living Selling

— [166:15.320 --> 166:23.660] them nickel bags Getting the college right? Perks

— [166:24.400 --> 166:32.890] 30 stairs field and dick pills selling them nickel bags, niggas. We're getting the college right. Niggas gotta stay up for the tests. No, no, I'll probably don't. God of War's next, yo. Perks, the Perk 30s. Stansfield. And dick pills. Stansfield, Stansfield. I went to college today, I'd have to literate with drugs. It's

— [166:32.890 --> 166:41.100] hard, man. That's a, yeah, that's. I'd have to help. You're not groundbreaking. I'd have to help. I'd have to add to it add to the demise

— [166:41.280 --> 166:49.400] sure All right, it's time for our political segment Mark Lamont Hill we're giving mark ISO so

— [166:49.400 --> 166:57.880] you can try to win the chain back. No, no, no, no, no ISOs. This is just everybody talking, man. The first thing was just the Trump updates because I feel like... Our favorite. We

— [166:57.900 --> 167:06.040] gotta let people know what's going on. Even he's heaven sent. Trump is heaven sent. Well, through so much. That's what I'm

— [167:07.120 --> 167:15.260] saying. Trump is a reptile. For sure. Yo, he's a lot of things. From B. As you know, things in Iran still

— [167:15.260 --> 167:23.260] going on. And his skin is looking funny if you look at him now. Yeah, I'm not sure. He's looking, he's looking

— [167:23.260 --> 167:32.020] kind of sick. You know, we got a black auntie somewhere putting a trunk doll on the stove. I wish she'd get to it. Turn

— [167:32.020 --> 167:40.240] the volume up. Exactly. A couple of things, Iran, obviously things are still crazy over there in terms of the US intervention. The

— [167:40.240 --> 167:48.580] whole Strait of Hormuz is closed. Trump has been trying to get the countries to open it up. They have not

— [167:48.980 --> 167:57.080] Agreed to do warships to open up to force it open That means that things will get worse before they get better both in terms of violence in terms of oil access in terms of

— [167:57.080 --> 168:05.220] revenue Etc is it up is the straight-o moves closed? I'm because I'm reading conflicting reports. Is it closed or is that some

— [168:05.220 --> 168:13.400] US today preaching? Because I read somewhere they letting some other **** pass through. It's supposed to pass through. Yeah, that's not the way of putting it.

— [168:13.580 --> 168:21.580] It's generally closed but there are exceptions. But according to the most recent reports, as of the time we're recording this, the access has been closed and Trump is trying to force it open,

— [168:21.580 --> 168:29.720] which isn't working. Like I said, things go get worse before they get better. Another thing, since we're talking about oil, Cuba is going through a blackout

— [168:29.720 --> 168:37.940] right now, partly because of the US pressure. Obviously, US kidnaps Venezuelan president doesn't help. Mexico was giving them emergency

— [168:37.940 --> 168:45.940] oil. US put pressure on Mexico to stop giving them humanitarian aid and support. So Cuba is in a tough situation, which only got worse when Trump said

— [168:45.940 --> 168:54.060] yesterday that he thinks the US is going to take Cuba. If I feel like it. He said if I feel like it. And they said, do you mean like militarily

— [168:54.240 --> 169:02.300] or do you mean diplomatically? He was like, kind of like, whatever, whatever I feel like doing, but I think it's going to happen. Shit is scary. I don't know what I'm gonna do with it,

— [169:02.300 --> 169:10.340] but yeah, I might go over there and just take it. I don't know, I ain't figure out what I wanna do with it yet though. Wild, and then to fill out the trifecta, he was talking about Gavin Newsom. They

— [169:10.340 --> 169:18.820] said, what do you think about Gavin Newsom and his chance to be president? He said, he doesn't call him Newsom because of new scum. He says new scum shouldn't be

— [169:18.820 --> 169:27.380] president. You know why? Because he has a learning disability. And people with learning disabilities shouldn't be president. Oh, you're just throwing it to the

— [169:27.380 --> 169:35.680] rim? You just throw tossing it up there. Right there. He's bugging up. Yo. He's bugging

— [169:35.760 --> 169:43.900] up. It's like there's nothing he can't say. Any 1 of those 3 things that I just said, starting a war. Go

— [169:43.900 --> 169:52.300] and take Cuba. Take another country. Take another country. At my disposal, determine what I feel like doing with it and how I feel like taking them after starving them for 3 months

— [169:52.360 --> 170:00.920] Exactly or mocking people learning disabilities or neurodivergent people or whatever If Obama wore tan suit in this shit, and they went crazy Trump

— [170:00.920 --> 170:09.040] can say and do whatever I'm only bringing this up because I want people to keep their eyes on this because this is getting crazy. Then of course, since we're talking about politics,

— [170:09.060 --> 170:17.320] last thing, Mamdani has put forward some new tax proposals, which I'm excited about. The first 1 is 1 that he has direct control

— [170:17.320 --> 170:26.380] over. He wants to raise the tax rate for people who make over 1000000 dollars. Okay. I'm okay with that. It

— [170:26.380 --> 170:34.460] affects on the exact numbers and exact percentage, but I believe it's from 3% to 5% the tax rate for people in New York City. And the idea, he wants to raise the

— [170:34.460 --> 170:42.620] city income tax rate to 5.88% from 3.88% for the roughly 34, 000 households that earn more than $1 million per

— [170:42.620 --> 170:50.780] year. He said that a family earning 1000000 dollars should pay an additional $20, 000 in taxes, the equivalent of, it's a 51% increase.

— [170:50.920 --> 170:59.020] And then the other thing is he's trying to advocate for it at the state level is an increase in, what some people call the death tax, which is more

— [170:59.020 --> 171:07.740] appropriately just a, what do you call it? A... Hereditary thing or... Yeah, when you give somebody... Inheritance? Inheritance

— [171:07.740 --> 171:15.800] tax, thank you, yes. Inheritance tax. Which would raise the rates pretty high for people who are bequeathing things to people. So

— [171:15.800 --> 171:23.880] if you have a house and you would have given it to your kid you're gonna pay a higher tax rate on it. I don't love that. I don't like that. Some of the dumbest you ever heard in

— [171:23.880 --> 171:32.060] your life. First off we have a really wide broadcast yeah but we got to think about we talking

— [171:32.060 --> 171:40.160] about New York state right and so when you start thinking about people in New York Especially in New York City proper. So that's the 5 boroughs or

— [171:40.160 --> 171:48.780] anything remotely close. Mm-hmm What he's doing he's taking the rates from 16% his proposed new rate is 50% That's

— [171:48.780 --> 171:56.880] a different level of a jump. For the inheritance tax? Yes, 1. The inheritance tax. And then the rate- Is there a cap, pardon me, for interrupting, is there a cap on it? 7000000, I believe?

— [171:56.980 --> 172:05.340] No, no, no, the old start of the inheritance tax used to be $7 million. That's where you start getting taxed at. That's where you start to get taxed.

— [172:05.460 --> 172:13.620] Oh, okay. I'm not bad at that. He wants to drop it to $750, 000. Oh, that's a lot to go. So if you start taxing New Yorkers at $750, 000 for

— [172:13.620 --> 172:21.900] those of us that live in the area, you can't find a house in the 5 boroughs for $750, 000. That's not a 1 bedroom apartment. That's my point.

— [172:21.900 --> 172:30.120] And so now you're starting to impose way more, I don't want to call them sanctions, but way more stress on the poor and the middle class that you ran

— [172:30.120 --> 172:38.440] your campaign on uplifting. And this is what I want people to understand. Yo, when you start talking about taxing the billionaires

— [172:38.500 --> 172:46.660] and taxing the rich, especially when it comes to inheritance and all that other s***, the term trust fund babies comes from somewhere. They don't

— [172:46.660 --> 172:54.800] pay taxes like that. They put all of the assets and they put all of the money in the trust. And when you die, your trust don't get taxed. So now you're putting

— [172:54.800 --> 173:02.860] all this pressure on my that don't have the information or don't have the resources to carry out their inheritance that way. And a lot of people,

— [173:02.860 --> 173:11.140] especially in our communities, black and brown, we come up off of insurance policies, we come up off of real estate inheritance, et cetera, et cetera, that's how you gain

— [173:11.140 --> 173:19.160] a leg in the quote unquote wealth gap. So now if I inherit a house that's 1000000 dollars. And I gotta pay 500k on 1000000

— [173:19.160 --> 173:27.260] dollars. I ain't in hurry. If my parents bought this house for a half 1000000 dollars when I was 10, yeah, it's not for New York

— [173:27.260 --> 173:35.340] City. I think it's counterproductive again, based on what He said he was going to do for the middle class and the poor. It don't even, to propose it to me is asinine.

— [173:36.020 --> 173:44.100] Whether it gets voted on or not, just to propose that means, in my opinion, you have a disconnect on what's going on out here. I'm not mad at the 3 to the 5 for the

— [173:44.100 --> 173:52.340] other thing, but the inheritance at 750 is crazy to me. Bro, even 1000000 dollars. So you don't think people should be taxed at all? No, they should, but the

— [173:52.340 --> 174:00.420] threshold, especially for New Yorkers, should be higher. Yeah, like, again, it's an industry-specific thing. I want somebody in Cleveland to be like yodes stupid or somebody

— [174:00.420 --> 174:08.680] in the end of the say we stupid we talk about New York You literally can't get 1 better condo. Yes people don't understand that worldwide. So again, that's why I'm prefacing it with,

— [174:08.680 --> 174:16.920] yo dog, we talking about New Yorkers. So if you talking about people that are struggling in the Bronx, people that are struggling in Queens, people that are struggling in Brooklyn, your family passes

— [174:16.920 --> 174:25.000] away, they leave you this asset that may be worth $2 million. Y'all gonna take 1000000 dollars of it? Like get the fuck out of here, that shit don't

— [174:25.000 --> 174:33.080] make no sense. And again, they keep trying to pawn it off as if. No, I don't think that's what's happening. That's not what the policy is. Oh, okay, tell me more. Yeah, so I'm trying to pull up the

— [174:33.080 --> 174:41.080] exact policy, but it, it, first of all, it's on, it's on the States, right? State. So it's not just on houses. It's on like the States. So if I have, I'll just be clear. So if I have an estate

— [174:41.080 --> 174:49.400] of $5 million, the idea is if I'm leaving that to you, you have to pay taxes on it. It doesn't mean that if it's because the state might be valued at 1000000

— [174:49.400 --> 174:57.540] dollars. If I give you if I leave you a house for 1000000 dollars, I don't even sold the house. I don't have to cough up 500000 dollars. Okay. But I do have to I

— [174:57.540 --> 175:05.540] do have to pay taxes on part of it. And the reason for it to me, and I'm gonna put up these exact numbers so we can get into exactly what it looks like on the ground

— [175:05.540 --> 175:13.547] because I didn't know this. I only knew the first part of the story that I brought up. Ish brought this to us this morning so

— [175:13.547 --> 175:21.660] I didn't get a chance to read into it beforehand. But it's important to know that the top rate is 50%, not all of it is 50%. So

— [175:21.660 --> 175:29.960] if I inherit $750, 000, I wouldn't be paying 50%. The person who inherits $7 million and above would be getting the 50%.

— [175:30.060 --> 175:38.140] But I haven't seen a schedule to know what the steps are. So I don't know whether it's 20%, whether it's 30%. But

— [175:38.140 --> 175:46.240] it will go up. The exemption is no longer up to $7 million. I think that's important to note. But to my point, Again, I don't

— [175:46.240 --> 175:54.480] think it's a contradiction to say I'm for poor people, or I'm for even the middle class and saying I'm gonna raise a tax rate on people

— [175:54.480 --> 176:02.540] who are inheriting stuff. I get the idea of wanting to pass wealth onto your children, I get the idea of wanting to share those things, I get it. But I'm not

— [176:02.540 --> 176:10.640] convinced, even in New York, that somebody who inherits, say, a $3 million property right now, or a $3 million estate, whatever it is, shouldn't have

— [176:10.640 --> 176:19.040] to pay some taxes if they're getting $3 million. You have to pay taxes already. But New York is 1 of the few states that sort of,

— [176:19.700 --> 176:28.740] there's a federal tax that you pay on it. But the rate is fairly, in New York, is fairly like nothing when you have the exemption. That's

— [176:28.740 --> 176:36.780] relative, number 1. Yeah, I don't know about that part. I've gone through this. It's not relative. I'm gonna put it differently. It's literally 0 right now up to $7 million. I've

— [176:36.780 --> 176:44.920] gone through this, right? So it depends. I know New Jersey law and I know Maryland laws. In New Jersey, if somebody passes away and they leave their

— [176:44.920 --> 176:52.980] estate, It depends on your relationship to the person, right? So if you are the wife the spouse or the kids Then you don't pay a tax on property

— [176:53.720 --> 177:02.060] Right if you're a sibling if you're somebody else, then you pay a tax however When we start to again talk about and

— [177:02.060 --> 177:10.120] this is where it gets funny, because when you start throwing these numbers out, like Mark threw a number out, like 5000000 dollars, 10 million dollars, if I have 10 million dollars of

— [177:10.120 --> 177:18.180] assets, that means I also have 10 million dollars of information where I'm going to protect those assets when it time for me to pass away to where my family's not gonna pay

— [177:18.180 --> 177:26.280] taxes at all. That's 1 key, key, key point is the information of the rich, they always find a loophole to escape paying

— [177:26.280 --> 177:34.320] taxes. So it's gonna disproportionately affect us or the people that are in a different tax bracket that don't have that information and

— [177:34.320 --> 177:42.400] don't have a trust or don't have somebody to have set up their estate situations. Again, in our community, sometimes don't even have life insurance. So

— [177:42.400 --> 177:50.800] if you are a family that you didn't come up off a life insurance policy, that house that your mother left you or that house that your father left you, that might be your only thing

— [177:51.380 --> 177:59.420] that you could build wealth off of. And so now to tax that in a way that to some might seem minimal, to most might not seem

— [177:59.420 --> 178:07.420] minimal is disheartening to me. I got to read more. And I got to read more to know the sketch. To me, the devil's in the details. I agree with you that the rich circumvent the

— [178:07.420 --> 178:15.560] rules, but to me, that's the argument for making better rules. But that's the argument that they push when they act as if it's in fairness. Like, yo, we gonna

— [178:15.620 --> 178:23.620] tax all these- Well, I think this is in fairness. We gonna tax all these billionaires. No you're not. They already are exempt. They know how to play the game. Right. So

— [178:23.620 --> 178:31.800] the ones you wanna tax are the people that don't know how to play the game and they don't know how to play the game. But I think that's why this policy could be useful. Again, the devil's gonna be in the details.

— [178:32.160 --> 178:40.380] But also when I think about the people who are the most affected, people like us, we don't, for example, poor black people, we don't inherit houses. We don't- It's not true, Mark.

— [178:40.380 --> 178:48.400] Especially now, especially now. We are starting to be more on the side of inheriting houses. We are disproportionately inheriting debt.

— [178:49.400 --> 178:59.340] We're disproportionately inheriting houses that aren't paid off. We're inherently... Doesn't matter. There's still equity in the house. That's still a value. That's still a net value. What

— [178:59.340 --> 179:07.560] I'm saying is that black income, as you know, is different from income in wealth. And what I'm saying is black people are disproportionately

— [179:08.280 --> 179:16.400] under, we're underrepresented on the wealth side. 0, dead last. Right, so that's all I'm saying. And so it's not like the most vulnerable people in New

— [179:16.400 --> 179:24.440] York City are the ones who are about to get hit hard because they're inheriting these houses that they don't have to pay extra taxes on. I'm saying that the people who are often

— [179:24.440 --> 179:32.620] getting around the rules are more likely to get ensnared with this policy based on the way it's been laid out than the people who we're trying to protect. That's

— [179:32.620 --> 179:40.680] what I'm saying. It's not, my auntie's not inheriting a $5 million house. You keep going to 5000000. Stay at 1000000. Stay at 1.5. We're in New

— [179:40.680 --> 179:48.780] York City. So at the minimal house, you could get some piece of. Too bad for apartments. All right, cool. So now you could get a piece of house in New York City and no

— [179:48.780 --> 179:56.980] disrespect to Queens Let's say Queens or Brooklyn, right? You could get a house. That's 1.5 million dollars Again, the wealth for black people

— [179:57.040 --> 180:05.080] ranks dead last amongst ethnicities in the United States of America We are last. Yeah, So now we are starting to get information based

— [180:05.080 --> 180:13.220] on EYL like that. We are starting to get information on how to wealth build. Cool. You may not have all of the vehicles

— [180:13.280 --> 180:21.680] set up to wealth build, But for a majority of people, I'm arguing with you that people own houses and grandparents

— [180:21.960 --> 180:30.100] own houses and mothers own houses and they are leaving these houses to their kids. So when you start taxing these people at a high clip, 16% to me is too much.

— [180:30.100 --> 180:38.360] Yeah, see, that's what we disagree. I don't I'm not disagreeing the grandmother's Bequeath housing. I'm simply saying that black people are underrepresented on

— [180:38.360 --> 180:46.440] that list I know and because and so because we're underrepresented on that list I'm actually more interested in how tax revenue could be used to invest in us in

— [180:46.440 --> 180:54.720] ways that can get us to where you want to be. Education, all the things that help people be able to access houses and things like that, you know what I mean? And

— [180:54.720 --> 181:02.780] social mobility. And I think and I think that's all theory. I'm a man that practices practicality and I don't have no faith in Democrats. I don't have no faith in Republicans.

— [181:02.840 --> 181:10.960] I don't have no faith in no politicians to take the money and allocate the money accordingly to us to where we could come up off of it. We haven't seen it

— [181:10.960 --> 181:19.900] ever. So again, if my parents leave me some that I can tangibly touch, I don't want the state taking it. And

— [181:19.900 --> 181:27.960] given my faith in them that they gonna allocate it to the Bronx school system or to the Brooklyn school system that's so desperately needed. No, me and

— [181:27.960 --> 181:35.980] my family need it so that we can progress and get to a place where I'm not relying on the state. But then if we take that approach to the extreme, then

— [181:35.980 --> 181:44.100] we're making a case of not paying any taxes. I didn't say that. No, I said, listen to what I'm saying. I said to the extreme, which means we have to pay something. Right? And I think we agree

— [181:44.100 --> 181:52.240] that we have to pay something. So if we have to pay something, the question is what's the number? I don't think 16% on the low end or 50% if

— [181:52.240 --> 182:01.580] you talk about a 20 million dollar state is too high. That's all I was saying. I do 50% is too high. What

— [182:01.580 --> 182:09.860] do you think the number should be? I think that we pay property taxes the whole and time time you own your home. Do we understand what we're saying? Right? So if my grandmother or my mother's been paying property

— [182:09.860 --> 182:18.040] taxes for the last XYZ amount of years, right? My mother's already paid a share of the estate tax to the state

— [182:18.040 --> 182:26.180] already. Got it. Right. So now she passes away. I'm gonna get hit on that. And she done been paying taxes on this particular piece of property for the whole entire

— [182:26.180 --> 182:34.320] time. What do you think about the proposed mansion tax? Again, I think that the I think I want to hear what Mark has to

— [182:34.320 --> 182:42.380] say about it. Because of his view. I'm sorry. In New York, I don't know the number in New Jersey. I thought the number was 12. Proposed mansion tax increases in New York

— [182:42.380 --> 182:50.620] City. Yesterday, yesterday, I'm slow today. Yesterday the New York State Senate and Assembly released their budget proposals as

— [182:50.620 --> 182:59.160] part of the ongoing negotiations with the governor. Included in both proposals are significant increases to the New York City mansion tax for

— [182:59.160 --> 183:08.920] any residential deals done after June 1, 2026. 1 of the most notable changes is a proposed 1.425% tax

— [183:08.920 --> 183:16.920] on transactions. This is where the **** is, if you're asking me. Could be higher. Between $500, 000 and $1 million, where

— [183:16.920 --> 183:25.320] no mansion tax currently exists today. At the high end of the market, rates could climb as high as 5.325% on transactions

— [183:25.520 --> 183:33.580] above $25 million. A $500, 000 home in New York City is a studio apartment. It's non-existent. It's a

— [183:33.580 --> 183:41.820] studio apartment. It's non-existent. So look, the New York City Mansion tax is a one-time progressive tax paid by buyers on residential purchases of

— [183:41.820 --> 183:49.900] 1000000 dollars or more. It's the same in New Jersey, yeah. That is All of New York, bro. So here's, if you wanna think, because again,

— [183:50.500 --> 183:58.680] I'm not, I don't disagree with any of y'all that tax rates need to be fair based on what people make. And that you can't, and that the numbers

— [183:58.680 --> 184:06.780] that they use need to be adjusted for inflation and for the time. I agree with that. I agree with the mansion tax. I think there should be

— [184:06.780 --> 184:15.040] a mansion tax. If you're buying high end real estate, you should pay a fee. We got that. I just don't think the number and I'm fine with 1 to in

— [184:15.040 --> 184:23.100] New Jersey is somewhere between 1% at like 1 million, and it can go up to 3.5, I know. I'm fine with the same number in New York. I just don't think it should

— [184:23.100 --> 184:31.680] be at $500, 000 or 1000000 because people are buying 1 and 2 bedroom apartments. The idea of a mansion tax was for mansions. Luxury.

— [184:31.680 --> 184:39.720] Luxury. That scale should be updated for today and what they've done is they take the word mansion And they make it that's such a word day. I had to pay me

— [184:39.720 --> 184:52.100] you've been in my house I ain't got no damn mansion, but I had to pay a nice. I thought it was a man It

— [184:52.100 --> 185:00.260] didn't look bitch, but I can see how the West might look, across the moat. I didn't get to see the... Across the moat! I

— [185:00.260 --> 185:08.340] hate everybody in this room. No, that's not the point. So when I spent, we had to pay an extra 1%, which is a lot of money. That's a lot of money. You know what I mean? It was like, this wasn't intended for this

— [185:08.340 --> 185:16.620] house. It was intended for those houses. A fancy estate in Montclair or something. You know what I mean? Like It's 1 of those. You're comparable

— [185:16.620 --> 185:24.760] to my clear. But it's not a fancy estate. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. But what I'm saying is, in yesteryear, 1000000 dollar house was something

— [185:24.760 --> 185:32.800] that was just, it would have got you, and that's my point, but they haven't adjusted it. And that's a problem. But to the average taxpayer, if they just hear you paid over 1000000

— [185:32.800 --> 185:40.980] dollars, if you make 50, 000. Not in New York. And that's why I said it's relative and that's where I started this. I am agree with that. That's why I started

— [185:40.980 --> 185:49.840] this. Say that, nigga, without all these words. You agree. I said that from the beginning. I agree with y'all. I only disagree on inheritance because because

— [185:49.840 --> 185:58.100] of the fact that 1 it's not true And I want people to be able to pass. I started with I was not true. No, it's not you're inheriting it. It's mine

— [185:59.080 --> 186:07.240] My mother and father worked for they it's mine. It ain't the states. No, no I'm with you. It's tough talking to mark because mark

— [186:07.240 --> 186:15.240] is against anything that gets you some money bro I'm saying I want people to be able to pass and well I just don't think taxes Marcus

— [186:15.240 --> 186:23.340] pro black inheritance is a very very very important vehicle that we are using to close the wealth gap. That

— [186:23.340 --> 186:31.360] is 1. Yo, home ownership and life insurance are the 2 main vehicles that we are now using. I'm talking about common man that

— [186:31.360 --> 186:39.740] don't know what it is. 100% correct. And all that. Those are the 2 main vehicles that we are using to now catch up. So when these strip you of the home ownership equity

— [186:39.740 --> 186:47.780] piece, that is very, very, very important. Right. But I'm saying again, not to go into so much. I agree with everything you're saying. I just think that the bulk of this tax revenue

— [186:47.780 --> 186:55.840] is not coming from us. It's coming from Rich it's not no it is that that's just a fact You're saying the bulk

— [186:55.840 --> 187:04.160] of tax revenue from a hair text comes from black people No I'm saying the bulk of inheritance of tax revenue comes from people that are uninformed because the informed

— [187:04.440 --> 187:12.540] have vehicles that they use to skip the tax man. I'm with you on that. And I think it's a buying $100 million houses for a reason. And they not all black. It's

— [187:12.540 --> 187:20.660] not a black thing. I'm saying most of them are black. I know. Cause that's what it seemed like y'all are disagreeing. I'm talking about blacks at the bottom of the totem pole. There are blacks

— [187:20.660 --> 187:29.060] that own 100000000 dollar houses. What I'm saying is- Like 3. Take blacks out of it, right? Black and brown, poor, disenfranchised, whatever

— [187:29.060 --> 187:37.200] you want to say, right? Fam, those are the people that are uninformed Michael Bloomberg is not gonna get taxed on his 30 40 50 60 million dollar house

— [187:37.200 --> 187:45.340] when he passes away So the salute I think what we disagree is a solution because I agree with you or we do 2 things 1 I think then I agree you have to pay some

— [187:45.340 --> 187:53.500] taxes. I just think the number it should be scaled I think if you have Uber amounts of money, you should pay high amount on inheriting the shit. If I'm inheriting 100000000 dollars, I should pay some taxes on that shit.

— [187:53.500 --> 188:01.600] Not 50% though. Again, we disagree on that. I just think you should. But I think your bigger point is the 1 that I think is, for me, the most compelling 1, which is like,

— [188:01.600 --> 188:09.700] yo, like these things end up the rich get a circumvent this and the poor people end up actually getting the business into this. I'm with you. But to

— [188:09.700 --> 188:17.800] me the solution is to write better laws, not to not have... That's all I'm saying. I think we need to inherit this tax, just get rid of the loopholes. But what I'm talking about as

— [188:17.800 --> 188:26.180] constructed the laws are what they are. So we're not going to disagree on the legislation. What I'm saying is the law that he is proposing does not rewrite

— [188:26.260 --> 188:34.580] the existing tax. That's exactly what he's trying to do. That's what I'm saying. I need to see the schedule to know what it looks like. He's changing the dollar amount. He's not changing the loophole that if I could take all of my 6

— [188:34.580 --> 188:42.820] zillion dollars and put it in the trust, I don't pay a penny in taxes. That's a federal problem. I agree with you on that. That's a federal problem. So that's like the other problem. The other solution

— [188:42.820 --> 188:50.940] is learning them loopholes. Yes. Yeah, but They make it so that even if you learn them, you can't do them. Poor people will go to jail for them same loopholes that rich people. He keep

— [188:50.940 --> 188:59.540] it up, he gonna clear New York. Yeah, bro. I don't think so. Yes he is. And let me tell you what's gonna happen. I think it depends on where he does the tax revenue. Bro, these

— [188:59.540 --> 189:07.880] businesses are gonna start just in corporate structure, start changing the state in which they are incorporated in.

— [189:07.880 --> 189:15.960] And now they're going to bypass everything for real. They're just going to pick up and go. Yeah. Yo dog, nobody made 100000000 dollars is going to pass

— [189:15.960 --> 189:24.020] away and leave $50 million to the state. Nobody wants to do that. And again, if I was a $100 million family and my family bust they

— [189:24.020 --> 189:32.200] ass for the last how many ever years to accumulate this amount of wealth, I don't want to leave $50 million of it to the state where I don't know where funds is being allocated. That

— [189:32.200 --> 189:40.380] probably wouldn't. Where Christine Omanem is giving it to their peoples. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either. I still think it's the right thing though. I

— [189:40.380 --> 189:48.660] absolutely agree. Nobody wants to get on their money. Like when Mom Donnie ran, and again, I'm a New Jersey resident, it's none of my business, but I'll be over there sometime. But when

— [189:48.660 --> 189:56.820] he ran, he ran on a campaign that seemed like it would be kind of for all New Yorkers. And did not say that. And all includes me. But this is exactly

— [189:56.820 --> 190:04.900] what he proposed. When we had this argument before. But that's not what's happening. That's not what's going on. I disagree. All right, we'll see. I mean, cause when we were

— [190:04.900 --> 190:13.300] arguing about, you know. New York already had an exodus problem before he got there. Like people were picking up and leaving. So when he came in on the hope of, we're

— [190:13.300 --> 190:21.300] gonna make this thing cheaper, we're gonna make it more affordable, more livable, more presentable. That was something that all us could get behind. But to get there

— [190:21.300 --> 190:29.620] now and everything you hear is, we're gonna fix this and we're gonna get the rich. We're gonna fix it, we're just gonna get different rich. We're gonna get different rich. Well, at some point, the

— [190:29.620 --> 190:37.680] rich people are not dumb. The rich people are not just going to allow you to keep, they're going to pick up and get the f**k out of here. And he can. Even

— [190:37.680 --> 190:45.860] if he could, right? Let's say even if he could, they would voluntarily leave. Sure enough. If he could. If any 1 of us in this room

— [190:45.860 --> 190:54.340] was worth 1000000000 dollars. And somebody said, yo, we're gonna tax you at XYZ percentage that we didn't feel was fair. We

— [190:54.340 --> 191:02.480] have enough money where we can relocate. We can still conduct business in New York City. It don't stop us from conducting business in New York City. Well, y'all can do that anyway

— [191:02.480 --> 191:10.740] with Florida and in other places. Business is a leave, residence is a leave, patience is a leave. Cool, right? Hold on, hold on, hold on. But I came in and I said,

— [191:11.020 --> 191:19.240] what he's doing is selling hope the same way Donald Trump sold hope. I said, yo, you now are appealing to the poor and

— [191:19.240 --> 191:27.260] the marginalized and you're saying, yo, I'm gonna make it better for you. You can't afford peanut butter, I'm gonna get you peanut butter with the jelly. And I said, the

— [191:27.260 --> 191:35.532] way in which he is outlining it to do it to me seems damn near theoretical as opposed to practical. That's all I'm

— [191:35.532 --> 191:44.660] saying. And I don't want you all to keep going back and forth. Yeah, we… But I think there's just real quick, Joe, I just think there's 2 different things happening. There is A55

— [191:44.660 --> 191:52.680] and a half billion dollar budget deficit in New York, which doesn't allow people to get the things they need. Right? The money has to come from somewhere.

— [191:53.340 --> 192:01.460] The bulk of this, Mamdani isn't proposing to take people's inheritance and pay the city deficit. He's saying people who make over 1000000

— [192:01.460 --> 192:09.500] dollars should go from 3.8% to 5.8%. That's the primary source. That's the main. I just want to be clear about that. Because I don't want

— [192:09.500 --> 192:17.560] people to think that like Mumdani is saying, I'm going to take all your kids' inheritance to pay to... Because these are 2 different issues that are getting mixed. I just want to be clear about

— [192:17.560 --> 192:26.020] that. That's a different issue. Momdani is just making a proposal to the state about the inheritance. He can't change, it's a state policy. He's just making a proposal.

— [192:26.460 --> 192:34.520] These are just proposals. But again, it's not at 50%. It's at a scale that could go up to 50% and I'm saying I'm okay with 50%

— [192:34.700 --> 192:44.440] in the for the Uber It's a whole would apply to fool. What does it would be those if it was? It's bequeathed his to his children is 10010000000

— [192:44.440 --> 192:52.460] dollars just say 10000000. Yeah, I don't think you should give a 5 million of it. But that's different, you know what I mean? But I'm just saying, all that's on the table. I just wanted to be

— [192:52.460 --> 193:00.640] clear that those 2 policies are different just so people don't mix the 2 up. Yeah, you're not getting the chain now. You lost it, it's got him out of here. It's just I'm with you on that

— [193:00.640 --> 193:08.720] 1. All you wish we would stick the side with each other. Mark, that's why you confused me. You down. I'm down to pay the tax And

— [193:08.720 --> 193:17.200] front-facing you be with all that all the poor the poor the poor but behind the scenes No, mom, don't need to find a way to speak to me and you. He

— [193:17.200 --> 193:25.380] does. 500 millionaires. And you don't want to hear that. No, I do want to hear it. I'm just telling you 500 millionaires signed a petition yesterday in New York.

— [193:25.680 --> 193:33.740] But where is it? No, you don't want to, no you don't. Cause they're saying we want to pay more taxes to fill the gap. So I'm just telling you, a lot of people who make over 1000000 dollars

— [193:33.740 --> 193:42.200] are willing to pay their fair share. How many millionaires in New York I'm about to look? 1 in every 24, I just looked it up. And a whole 500 of

— [193:42.200 --> 193:50.380] them signed it. Yeah, 1 in every 24. Which is just yesterday. I mean, everybody, I didn't sign it, but I would if I made that kind of money and lived in New York. Dog, I was coming over here

— [193:50.380 --> 193:58.380] to kill Mom Donnie for this. It is a goal of our administration to lower the speed limit across the city to 20 miles an

— [193:58.380 --> 194:06.400] hour. See, he just want to keep saying nut shit. With a local law change to the city administrative code and I repeat

— [194:06.560 --> 194:15.060] It is a goal of our administration to lower the speed limit across the city to 20 miles an hour He's serious. It's

— [194:15.060 --> 194:23.320] 25 now, right? Who do that? Yeah, I don't know. New York is 1 place where I don't pay attention to speed. I don't even know the speed limit over here. You just go into the traffic.

— [194:24.100 --> 194:32.100] Yeah, I mean, I never had the option to follow the speed limit. Yeah, it's not. It's not. Let's run the west side at 2 a.m. Like when the f*** do you get to have a speed limit? Eastside

— [194:32.100 --> 194:40.200] highway. I mean, eastside. But I think it's 25 now. Is it? Yeah, like regular pedestrian streets, I think it's 25. Yeah. Okay. And you barely

— [194:40.200 --> 194:48.240] get to get to 25. I don't know how many times I've driven 25 miles an hour He made it sound like the Henry Hudson would be 25 miles per hour. He made it sound like the

— [194:48.240 --> 194:56.600] FDR. He didn't say select neighboring. He said all of New York. I don't know what he's talking about. But he's talking about the side streets, which are 25

— [194:56.600 --> 195:04.620] right now. Well, still, that too. I agree with him on lowering speed limit by the school zones, Which he did. Down

— [195:04.620 --> 195:12.700] to 15% of. 15 miles an hour. 15% 15 miles an hour. 25 or 20 probably I think. I agree with that. Yeah I agree with that. If you wanna make an

— [195:12.700 --> 195:25.560] omelet you gotta break eggs. You know what I'm saying? There's some of y'all saying to South Florida. Don't worry we all gonna be in the south in a minute Then

— [195:25.560 --> 195:33.680] people be like he said he was gonna he was said he's gonna give us free public transportation in Supermarkets and he ain't did shit right the only way that he said from the beginning. I'm

— [195:33.680 --> 195:42.040] gonna do it by raising taxes He said that so taxes on the rich Yes, and I think the 3.88 In

— [195:42.040 --> 195:52.200] New York people who make over million dollars are rich not rich the way they are in Wichita but if you make over 1000000 dollars you're rich. I don't care where you are. That's true. Right!

— [195:52.200 --> 196:00.340] It's like if you make over 1000000 dollars you're rich. I gotta sit with that. It depends on where you are. And it's relative. That's

— [196:00.340 --> 196:08.860] not true. Not in New York City. No, you're rich. If you got 1000000 dollars a year you're rich. I'm sorry. Okay. You're not independently like

— [196:08.860 --> 196:16.960] you ain't got you money, but You're rich. Yeah, you're rich I'm not doing 20 miles per hour nowhere in New York

— [196:16.960 --> 196:25.120] City. Well actually I'm lying cuz my driver will definitely do it. What does your driver do? Yo he does 7, he does 10. That nigga does 7. Oh my god. He does 7. 3 miles

— [196:25.120 --> 196:33.480] per hour so everybody see you. It's cool. God learned me a lesson. God gonna teach you something now. I'll do all this complaining about my driver and he couldn't drive me around yesterday

— [196:33.480 --> 196:41.680] because he had jury duty. I was judging him for that, but fine. He went and did jury duty. Ian sent me his Puerto Rican driver

— [196:41.680 --> 196:50.580] he'd be using sometimes to drop him off drugs and pills. And they go quiet hitting every bump. Dog. I'll

— [196:50.580 --> 196:58.680] never say a bad word about my driver again, man. Never again. You are a man of the people. This guy was moving slow.

— [197:00.060 --> 197:08.140] This guy had a little... Yeah, it was bad. La Russell seems to have made a triple down. But it's 5 minutes long. I'm not trying to use
