- Then we got breaking news. We did a whole Patreon. Last question in a Patreon for no better reason, and y'all can watch it on Patreon for no better reason, nobody asked for this. Mark just brings up Sketch getting his bed filled out for no better reason. He's wearing pantyhose. Mark brings up a video. Sketch got the Minnie Mouse gloves on or Mickey, we don't know at this point. Is he really? - I don't know. I can't figure it out. Obviously these images have leaked. - Let me squint my eyes so I don't get all the way in.
That's why it's scheduled like this. He's like, God forbid I see some pussy, I might turn straight. Do we know if it's him for real, though? I think he is gay. I'm just now learning about this kid, but it seems like he is gay. This is a real detective right here. I'm just now learning. Sherlock Holmes. That shit is crazy, though, from what I thought I saw. Al, you looked! Al!
Ow, you, look. You just closed your eyes. Yo, why'd you put your hand there? I'm trying so hard not to look. Just close your eyelids. You don't have to put your hand there. Yeah, just don't look at it. Do we still, do we know if it's him for real, though? Like, is it possible when he confirmed it, it's like a joke? He said, you don't want your kid to be dead, so. I don't know. Yeah, why can't he just be gay, yo? Why can't he be gay, bro? That's my point. What's wrong? What's wrong? There's nothing wrong with him being gay. I just want the truth. No, no, Mark, but what's wrong with him being gay? Uh,
Nothing I can think of. Why are you fighting so hard for him to be not gay? I just want the truth. The truth is pretty clear. You're saying a lot of truth. There's nine inches of truth right there. You're just saying, bro. You know what I'm saying? Oh my God. Son. I bet you he needs to shoulder the crown. If you want to talk sketch, I'm here, bro. Reach out. Die. Are you inviting him to the crib, bro?
Reach out. We can talk. What if he's going through something right now? I mean, he's definitely going through something. It's probably very difficult for him. But the truth shall shatter you free. The truth shall shatter you free. I can't drink. I don't know you, but it seems like you're gay.
That's okay. I want you to be comfortable being that. Yeah, he's a kid. Nothing wrong with that. Yeah, be what you are, dude. That's a beautiful thing. Fuck anybody who judges you, Alex. Yeah, Alex was judging. He calling you gay looking like this. Get out of here. Nigga, I'm fly as fuck. Let me ask you a serious question. Let me ask you a serious question. Is your dick bigger than the one sketch was sucking in them videos? Close. Close? So, close in which direction? I think I might be bigger. Are you... Ha ha ha!
Yo, this is not funny, man. But we're taking Patreon energy back into the beginning of the pod. Yeah, no, no, no. This is not going in. They can't judge us. This is not going in. No. Because it was already... We got to go back to the episode. We got to go back to the episode. But listen, free sketch in all ways. Like, be yourself. Yes. Play video games.
You know what I mean? Don't stop streaming. Now you're going to make more money. Don't stop streaming. There's no way. Why is there no way? You and Mark don't want it to be true so bad. I can't be weird. I can't be gay. I just watched seven videos of him sucking dick. I would like to believe that they're AI than actual videos of dick sucking that I just put in my eyes to squint.
What do you mean why? You don't approve of what he's doing? He's probably an emotional wreck right now. This is why I hope it's not real. His whole world is crumbling. I genuinely hope it's not real because the reason he said he was doing it is because he was fucked up on drugs or did some whatever shit. That's awful, Al. Yeah, and I would hope that a young boy was not taken advantage of by some fucked up people because of a drug addiction.
Yeah. Well, that was good. Well, that was good. I got a lot. That was good. We don't even got a funny cam for me to look into. Miles, cue it up. There you go. He was late. I guarantee you. I know he was late. I'll be looking into the camera. Miles switches three seconds later. I'm already looking back at Mark. He's on the ring cam in the front. I don't even know what Miles is doing back there.
damn back to the episode we gotta talk to sketch man shout out sketch i hope you live your truth yes um i hope you if you're gay i hope you're gay yeah brother
Yeah, brother. Yeah, brother. That's not encouraging. We're going to go back to the rest of the episode. Do you think he has a manager that is shrewd enough to be putting out these narratives on the internet to maintain relevance?
Wait, he's gay? No, faking this. Like, putting AI images, saying that he used to be an OnlyFans creator. Also, what dude had to be the one that admitted he found... You know what I mean? Like, you don't want to be the dude in a friend group that's like, yo, yo, you heard of sketches of gay OnlyFans? He just pretends somebody sent it. Oh,
I got sent to me. Who? Show us the DM. Yeah, Mark, who sent this to you? Grand Wizard. He's posting about it. Talk to him. Yeah, it's true. Why does he still have it activated? Is it activated or somebody just like... Bro, I have no idea. You tell us, Al. Is it activated? I mean, if they're up, if people are finding them right now, I would assume it's still activated. Yo, I got caught. Ha ha ha ha!
Oh, because I tried to do research for the podcast? You're gay! Did you look at the page? Is it still up? There's no way. He's probably making so much fucking money streaming, there's no reason to even do the gay porn. You're doing it for the love of the game. You really are. Love of the game clause, you know what I mean? Damn. Let him go at it. There's no way. Why is there no way? Let me tell you why. Because last week, everybody was 100% convinced that the prison porno
was real okay there was did you see that one yeah yeah so this girl is getting fucked she's the ceo she's getting fucked by this guy in a prison in england right and the other dude is filming on his phone and everybody's like oh my god this girl has a boyfriend her boyfriend's an mma fighter they have a kid together and now every family's gonna fall apart blah blah and it just comes out today that the whole thing is fake wow so it's like is this the new thing might be the new thing yo
How much of it was fake? So all of it is just a scene set up. Those are just two random guys. No one's in jail. Nothing. Oh, damn. Yeah. That's far. And here's the thing. Why did we want it to be real? I know.
It was kind of hot, dog. No, she like stopped and looked and got scared. Why do these things, why are these things hot? And she dropped to her knees like a champion. Dude, dude, that was, that's what I knew was fake. She, it was the distance she put the penis inside of her head. That was like shocking. There was like no warm up or anything. Trap door. It was, it was absolutely insane. But why is there something hot about this?
Because it's naughty, dog. It's taboo. Yeah, that's a single sex. Not everything taboo gives you an erection, though. Hopefully, Mark. Right? Just because something's taboo, you're not like, this is hot. Why is that hot? She's a husband and a kid and she's sucking some fucking Algerian guy's dick in a prison in Northern England and I'm like turned on by this? Yeah.
I should be telling all about this. I haven't even seen the video. As you're saying it, I need to watch the video. You get horny, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just imagine the Zidane headbutt in the middle of a fucking prison cell. Why is that? It's the ultimate desire to be wanted, that you're willing to risk everything. You have your life, your family, your children, your money, everything, your career, and you're going to risk it all for this guy. Okay, okay. So it is insecurity.
It's we all want to be desired so much by a girl that they would be willing to throw away everything. I mean, think about her life. She's a prison guard in Sheffield. Think about what you want to throw away. Exactly. 40 pounds a year, 40,000 pounds a year. Oh, my God. How will she ever get another job? But she's an immigrant, though. You got to consider that. Oh, was she? Yeah, she's Brazilian.
That's also hotter. She doesn't even know that's not part of the job. I think that's also an important thing. Like, she doesn't know it's only fits. The crazy part about that is technically that's right. So we're all getting off by watching a video. She's rapping now. She is the power. Y'all creeps. God damn, bro. Email. Go.
Don't be gay about it, dude. Stop being gay. What a gay guy. Nah, that's what y'all into, bro. Yo, that is the ultimate desire. Wait a minute. Hold on. If Mark's theory is true, Mark might have thrown out some Terrence Howard shit, but we're going to go with this. We're not fact-checking. Sit down, Brett Weinstein. Okay? If Mark's theory is true that we are turned on by ultimate desire from women, like women becoming so...
in uncontrol of their actions due to their lust. Right? That she would be willing to rape a man. Technically, female to male.
Yeah. As long as it's not like underage or anything like that is the hottest form of sex. I'm just saying, if we're going by this theory, if we're going by the theory, let's just go by the theory. Mark, walk us through it. And I don't mean to put you on this. Yeah. OK, go. I think you might be honest. Is that it? Do we just want to be wanted? But the fact that we want to be wanted so bad is why it's hard to do it.
Oh, fuck. Because the second they want us that bad, we're into it. And then they got to stop. And there's only one thing we can do.
Wait, not that. Hold on. Hold on. That's why you never hear men acute like... I got you. Now you're talking. Now you're talking. You gotta beat that. You never hear of age men... Instead of a bleep, just put no. But go, go, go. That's why you never hear of age men doing the accusation back because as soon as they're wanted so badly by a woman, even in a power differential, they're just going to accept it.
There is something incredibly flattering about a girl just wanting you so bad. I mean, there's been moments in my life where there was a girl, she looked a lot like a rat at a Long Island show once. And she was like, I just want to suck your dick in my car if you want to come right now. And she was a rat looking girl. I do want to come right now. I'm so glad you brought that up. But I was so turned on by it. I was like, maybe I should give you that. Yeah, sure. You should. You can't really.
And then say no while she's doing it. Just to like throw her off? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Life Tour update. Thank you guys so much. I just want to let y'all know we're adding second shows in San Antonio, Salt Lake City, and Reno. We added second shows in San Jose and Cincinnati. And we're adding a third show in Denver. Thank you guys so much for the interest. We also have Las Vegas, Cleveland, Columbus, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Ramah.

Peace. Also, I got dates coming up. You can check akashsingh.com. We're going to be in Jacksonville at the end of July, Hawaii at the end of August.
Five weekends in a row in September, we're going to be on the road. But in the meantime, I want to talk about a chai shop that I invested in. It's called Fontanious. I honestly have not found good chai in New York until this. I invested in it. My brother helps run it. His name is Arjun Gupta. He's a fantastic actor. Also married a wonderful woman from India.
in Assam, where they have some of the best chai in India, which is some of the best chai drinker, biggest chai drinkers in the world. Guys, Fontenias, it's in Dumbo at 28 J Street. You know it's good because I invested in Dumbo and I hate doing that. So go there. A couple of people came through last week who really appreciate y'all. They DM me, said it was great. I appreciate that. I love y'all. Thank y'all. Keep going. Fontenias, that's F-O-N-T-A-I-N-H-A-S. There you go. Fontenias.com.
Let's get back to this. The gayest things we do in straight sex. Exactly. When a guy sees a handsome guy and goes, man, you must get so much pussy. People be saying, male comics will say that to Mark as if that's not gay. Like, instead of just being like, yo, you're a good looking guy. They'll be like, dude, I bet you get so much pussy. Why is that gay? What's gay about that? I bet you get your dick sucked all the time, bro. Just like girls are just like on their knees. I bet you girls see that too. It's
It's continuing it past just getting pussy and describing what happens. He's a handsome guy. This is the one that was funny. One of our boys said this to Mark once. He was like, man, you're so stupid being married, bro. Do you know how many girls you could fuck if you weren't married? Mark was like, what do you mean? He goes, man,
You would just be fucking every week. After shows, girls coming up to you, you just fucking in a green room. Why are you thinking about me fucking? That's gay. That's extremely gay of him. Oh my God, dude. Yeah, how attractive can you... This is more like an academics question, but how attractive to a guy can you be before it's gay? Because...
Like, Tom Brady was an attractive dude. I'm sure. I didn't feel gay. Yeah. But I felt more gay than when I look at y'all. Yeah, I don't mind. I'm not saying y'all aren't attractive, but, like, you don't give my dick nothing. Nah, one look at me will straighten you right up. That's the thing. We don't get one of them.
Bane's going to. Maybe. But yeah, when does it become that? At 51%. And that's your thing, Dub. Dub believes he's 51% straight. He is literally 2% away from actually being a homosexual man. We can all be that. We can all be that. Until you're like, I don't want that. Why?
I'm just giving guys the runway. You can comment on a guy as much as you want, but then... I think if you think about them having sex, right? Remember when Vala was like, yo, Shannon Sharp?
That was 51%. We look at a picture of Shannon Sharpe shirtless, like just ass going crazy. We're just talking about Shannon Sharpe. We're like, yeah, his show is hilarious. Like this guy's killing it. And we saw a picture of him without a shirt at 50 something years old. He looks amazing. He looks hand from his fuck up shirt. And we're like, man, this guy's in great shape. I wish I looked like that. Vala goes, man, he must be crazy in bed. Whoa. Whoa. What?
That's different. What's he saying? He said, no, he must be crazy. That's it. That's it right there. What the fuck is that about? That's crazy. Like, what positions are you even thinking about? Like, telling your mans to get ahead from the girl you're both smashing? Like, is that one of the positions?
Because if you're thinking of him being crazy, but you're thinking of him on top, which is a gayer way to think about him. You know what I'm saying? Like, you're thinking about his dude-ass. No, I don't think he's just thinking about positions. No, you are. You're thinking about his dude-ass flexing. That dude-ass flex is not a good look. That is gay, bro. It's not a good look. We look like dragons. Yeah.
You ever catch yourself in a mirror? You know what I'm talking about? You know how a dragon got no ass? Yeah. It's just tail? Nah, baby. That's what we... You especially. If he's talking about Shannon Sharp, though, he looks like he does some squats. What are you trying to say? He probably look a little better. What you trying to say, yo? Shannon Sharp probably got some cheeks, bro. What?
I'm just saying. He probably cheeked up. It looked like a ball sack. Nah, that's probably how I look. What? That's what my ass looks like when I'm on top. Guaranteed. That's exactly what my ass looks like when I'm full thrust on top. How crazy is that? I'm not even ashamed of that deal. Who is that? That's Hank Hill. I got Hank. Bro. My ass look like Tom Brady's chin. That's how tiny my ass retract.
That's straight ass. Like, that's a straight man's ass. Oh, you're saying that gay guys got... Yeah. That's why Bargolo... How do you know so much? Mark 49%. No, no, no. Don't tell us so much. Mark 49%. Mark 49%. That's crazy. He'd be working on it a lot. So, Al
know so much about my ass. I know so much about gay guys. Are you saying gay guys got bigger asses, Al? What's up? I would think so. How often you gotta change the couches at WTM Studios because them gay dudes be gobbling it up. That shit be crazy. That be stains on them motherfuckers. They got wet ass. They be butt munching. It's true, man. It's crazy. Do the gay guys get cum on your couches? No, no, no. I hope not. I hope not.
They slurp it up. That's why it's called WTF, bro. Yo, yo, yo, yo. What's that? What's going on right now? What's getting him and what's not getting him? He's going crazy. I go to the studio. He's crazy. I got to get it off me, bro.
You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Every time I see it, because there's so many pods that film at WTF, so you see a lot of different pods that are there. There's a bunch of badass bitches, just all badass bitches. And I attribute everything to WTF, and it's usually bad bitches talking about bad bitch things, but every once in a while. Hey. Hey.
And I see that shit out there. Yo, WTF is gay. That shit is gay. Oh, God. That shit is gay. Oh, God. So why is Wheezy trying to hit me with so many facts in my IG comments all the time? What's she doing? She got repaid by the Democrats or some shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why are you defending like that? Everything I put.
I posted. She got on quick with the abortion shit. She was probably right about that one. But then I posted something else. The Taylor shit she was on right away. Oh, yeah. I posted something about the Taylor. And she's like, oh, it's not exactly that. Yeah. You said it was hard to find. She was like, LOL. It's not hard to find. It's like, why are you LOLing preemptively, bitch? What's the preemptive LOL about? It's so condescending.
She's a shade room commenter. You know, they be liking me. They be going in. They be going in. That's just how they show love. I'm just amazed she's defending the Swift like that. She's defending the Swifties. Yeah, I got more tea on the Taylor shit side. Oh, let's go. If y'all want to know, I know we're having fun having gay talk, though, so I don't want to move off of this shit. We can move on. And there's nothing straighter than four guys talking about Taylor Swift. Yeah, it's a perfect segue. You sure? Yes.
I don't know if this is the same tea I already said, though. If I'm being completely honest with you, it might be redundant tea. It might be a little warm tea. It might be redundant tea. Run back to Chops. Okay, here's the tea. I think... Not even... I'm going to give you the information. Okay. But this is my presumption. I'm putting this out. I think Taylor's team...
to her to protect their jobs after fumbling the biggest deal in music history. And I think she believed the lie because you'd rather believe your dad didn't fuck you over, your managers didn't fuck you over, your new record exec didn't fuck you over. You'd rather believe everybody around you that's there to protect you didn't fuck you over and that these two other dudes did. Right? But... What's this based on? Okay, so...
She sends this... I actually got this fucking letter. So she sends this... She agrees to go to Universal, right? With this guy, Lucien Grange guy. She agrees to go there. Okay? Lucien tells her, as part of the deal, we're going to give you back your masters, which has never happened before in history. Yeah. Okay? Okay.
But he goes, you can't say anything to Scott Borchetto, the guy who owns Big Machine. Because if you say that it's going to happen, then he's going to charge me out the fucking ass. And then it doesn't even make sense. Yeah. So I need you to tell him you don't even want them. Because if you say you don't want the Masters—
then I can get him for a good amount. There's not going to be this, ideally, not this crazy bidding war. Now, I don't know if Lucien is telling her that, but the deal is, is an under-the-table hush deal that she's going to get the Masters.
as part of this thing. This has never happened before in music. She sends a text that's public domain. You can go look at it right now. Matter of fact, I might have it. That Big Machine put it up on their fucking website. So she sends this text, right? And the text is to Scott Borchetta, right? The text reads as this. You ready? Okay. Okay.
Scott, I hope this finds you well. Since communication ran dry on our negotiations, I've done what I told you I would do and gone out exploring other options. Owning my master's was very important to me, but I've since realized that there are things that mean even more to me in the bigger picture. I had a choice whether to bet on my past or
We're to bet on the future, and I think knowing me, you can guess which one I chose. I also saw a rare opportunity to effect positive change for a lot of other artists with the leverage I have right now. I know you believe in the same things that I do, and I'd like to think that you would be proud of what I've negotiated for in my deal. That's the new one with Universal. I wanted to tell you first that I'll be signing with Lucien Universal. I honestly truly cherish everything you and I have built together, and I plan on saying...
So in my announcement of the new deal, what we accomplish together will be a lasting legacy and a case study on excellent partnerships. And may it continue. I still view you as a partner and friend, and I hope you feel the same. Sending you a hug and my most sincere gratitude and so much love, Taylor. Political, brilliant, authentic, beautiful. Beautiful message. I'm good on the masters. She says she's going to go to the set of place. Okay. Yeah.
Scooter comes in and goes, hold on, she's not buying the Masters? Hey, I'd like to buy the Masters. Tell Scott Prochetta, hey, if she wants to be involved in this, pull her in. Scott Prochetta sends him that text message. She doesn't want to be part of it. Universal is trying to buy the Masters for $270 million, assuming in that situation that if you're Lucien and you're invested in her future, you also want to be invested in her past. Makes perfect sense.
Scooter's like 270. Shit, I'll do it for more. He doesn't know that the plan is to give the master. This has never happened before in fucking history. Give masters. Yeah.
He goes, I'll buy him for more than that. What does Scott Prochetto want to do more than anything? Fuck the most money. Fuck that guy. I'm not going to make the most money one, but I'm also not going to give the Masters to the guy who stole the most valuable client I will ever have in the history of my business. And I'm going to give him? Fuck that. I got another one for more money and I get to stuff it to that motherfucker? Boom. I don't get why Universal thought that would work.
I don't know what their calculation was. It was like, oh, we'll buy it from the guy that's mad at us. This is why I have a little empathy for what Taylor thought. Her team fucked up the greatest record deal in history.
The greatest record deal in history. You have to lock that in before she goes. You have to lock in the deal for 270. They didn't lock in that deal. I think Taylor thought that it was locked in. I think her team, all to save their own asses, said it was. And then Scooter and Scott, they fucking back channeled and they stole it from us.
Because if they say what really happened, which is what the email correspondences show, that their team didn't have a fucking deal, they fucked up, and these guys made one to stuff it, stick it to, or to stick it to Universal. So the team is in fucking desperation mode. We're all going to get fired. We fucked up the biggest deal in music history. The biggest artist in history. Her first six albums. We fucked it up. We got to have a scapegoat. What's a scapegoat? Scott Prochetta. Scooter Braun.
What sticks? Scutum Ron. Hmm. So, and then what happens is once the narrative already exists, it's like House of Dragons, it's like, okay, whatever.
I don't want to go back against this. I imagine it's come to light. I imagine Taylor now probably knows what really happened. I mean, fairly quickly, Big Machine put out those text messages. Here's the correspondences. Here's everything. But once the narrative's set, you just run with those narratives. And it's a great narrative. It continues the victimhood narrative, right? So it's like everything's kind of perfect and you just want to look the other way and you want to drive as fast as you possibly can. The only problem is...
you know, some fucked up shit ends up happening to Scooper's family, the death threats, her telling her fans, go tell them how you feel, and then these fucking lunatics go... This is what I still don't love is at the end of the documentary, Taylor's team, they ask her for comments. She's like, we'd like to move on from this. I bet she would. This is in our past. I see mad comments on the post that we put up. Taylor wants to move on from this. She wants nothing to do with this. This is in her past. When has she ever let anything go? Ha ha ha!
You know what I mean? She talked about Kanye for fucking years when she was the victim. When somebody else is a victim and she wants, guys, why are we harping on the past? This is old news. Let's just go. And that is the thing that I'm like, yo, I can give her the benefit of the doubt to a larger degree. That is funny, though. That all of a sudden, when you win a billion dollars, now, we don't need to focus on the past. This guy's life got threatened. I got nothing.
to do with that, even though you actively called for it. Yeah. If you, yo, you can't tell me Trump called for, called for insurrection or whatever and Taylor didn't call for this guy's family to get threatened. That's a great, great argument. You can't believe, you gotta either believe none or believe both. That's a great argument. It's the same shit.
Stand down and stand by is actually softer than tell them how you feel. Yeah, that's Rush to Capitol. She said Rush to Capitol. She said Storm, that bitch. But it's interesting that she talks so much about the patriarchy and the power of the patriarchy, and she's behaving a lot like it. That is a thing that drives me crazy. And I say this about minorities all the time. Still best concert I've ever seen. I just want to point that out. That would never take anything away from me. She's a historically great artist. Amazing. Anybody's trying to say otherwise, you're lying to yourselves.
And her team knows that, and they know they fucked up. And I presume they fucking lied to her, and then she ran with it, and she's too embarrassed to acknowledge she ran with it. And she might even believe it. But there's proof of what really happened. There's email correspondence. It's all out there. Like, all the truth is out there. But people would rather believe the lie that's more interesting, which is the girl got taken advantage of by these evil record execs. No way.
Your fucking team fucked up. Your daddy, who's on the board, fucked up. The lawyer your daddy appointed to look at every email just so he can't. He fucked up. Everything is there. His dad is responding to emails. What is it? Scott Swift? Her dad. Sorry, her dad is responding to emails.
There's screenshots of this shit. It's all out there. It's the most obvious fucking thing in music history that nobody talks about or cares about because she's so famous. And just being famous and successful doesn't mean that you should allow to accept these fucking narratives. Now, feel bad for Scooter or not, that guy's a fucking billionaire. He did great. He's doing awesome.
Okay. But he also does have to deal with a large swath of the world thinking that he did something which he did not do that might go against his character. And that's fucked up. Imagine people just thought you did some shit that you did not do. Absolutely. It would like, it would annoy you, rub you the wrong
way a little bit. And if your family's getting threatened, you want to dislike the guy, cool, but if your family's getting threatened, it's just a different ballgame. It just is. The second you bring family into it, you cross a fucking line. Everybody knows this. You bring wife, you bring kids. That's some demonic shit you bring kids into something. You know what I mean? I'm curious. Do you know if Universal changed a deal since they weren't able to get by the Masters? Because I'm sure that was...
The carrot that got Taylor to sign it. That is an absolutely phenomenal question, Al. Sorry, what'd you say? This is a great fucking question. Because I'm sure the big pull to get Taylor to sign a Universal was, hey, we're going to buy your Masters and give it to you. Now that they couldn't attain her Master, did they give her a different deal? That would be...
We got to find that out. Coming to you next week. That because if they do change the deal and add more upside or incentivize in some new way, they acknowledge that they had this preexisting thing. Whoa. Because why would Taylor accept the same deal and lose out on $300 million worth of music rights? And that's in perpetuity. It's $300 million then. Now, who knows what the fuck it's worth? Bruh. Hmm.
And was there a contract she signed with Universal before the Masters got put through? Or is that just like in talks? I don't know. That's the thing I want to know. I don't know. Because she was being offered by Big Machine a way to get her Masters back through making more albums or just buy it back herself. She had like, I don't know, a few hundred million at the time and it would liquidate her essentially to buy back the Masters. So I'm sure reasonably so you're hesitating.
Though you could get a loan to get your shit back. You're one of the biggest artists in the world. Doesn't matter. It's way better when some other company's like, we're going to get it back for you. Now, do we want to get really nasty with it? If we want to get really nasty with it, what if they promised it to her knowing full well they didn't really care that much to get her the Masters? They were going to lowball, see if they could get them. If they couldn't get them, who gives a fuck? We got this Taylor girl, and you know what she's going to do? Mark, what do you think she's going to do?
I think she's gonna make some more albums. I think she's gonna make a lot of money. And not only will she make some more albums, maybe she'll re-record those original ones that we don't have the rights to. You think they knew that, though? I'm just saying, what is cheaper? If you re-record them, galvanize your fans based on this bullshit narrative that they should go out there and now...
She can get the money from them. You get the money from them. You didn't have to lose the 300 million in the first place. It's almost now we're getting real conspiratorial and I have no proof for any of this, but it's a way better deal. If you ask me for universal, you save $270 million and you still get all the fucking albums.
So she did get screwed over by music executives, but it was the other ones. But it was the other ones. And I imagine she's either too embarrassed or doesn't truly know what really happened to admit it. Because you don't want to go, I went to Universal and all these men fucked me and I'm staying here.
And you've got to stay because you signed that fucking contract. Can you check if the new re-recorded albums are under Universal? I'm sure she owns the complete masters for them, but I imagine that, what is it? I don't know how record deals work where sometimes distribution. I think Universal still has the distribution on them. Let's look at those. But if she owns all the rights masters for it, that's kind of the smoking gun right there.
Because? She's signed to a label. She's putting out a new album that should automatically go to the label. Labels should automatically own the rights. Well, I'm sure the deal that she had was like she gets to keep her masters in perpetuity. All of them. Oh, you think even the new album she's putting out? I would imagine. I would imagine she might be that big. I think Universal, what his theory is, and I don't know.
I think we're giving her a lot of benefit of the doubt, but I'm fine doing that because her fans scare me. I think what he's saying is Universal's like, hey, you know what? Why don't you just re-record your albums and you'll keep those masters. We know we fucked up. You re-record the albums. You keep the masters. They're all yours. You didn't have to pay for them. They're yours. But they still get the distribution. So they still won. They didn't have to pay for the masters. And you know what, Akash? You know what they were going to get for those six albums earlier? What?
Just the distribution. Yeah. So now you get the distribution and you save $300 million. Yeah. If that is what happened. And even if the real asshole here is this guy, Lucien, and Scooter's getting all the fucking heat. And we could throw you an extra hundred million, Taylor. Just we fucked up. I'm sorry. And we're still now we've made things right with you and we're still saving a hundred million dollars. I wouldn't say Lucien's an asshole. He's just a smart business man.
Are we afraid of him as well, or is it just Swifties? What I'm saying is... No, no, what I'm saying is this. He's a smart businessman. No, no, what I'm saying is this is, fuck that guy. You know what I mean? Hey, hey, hey, ready? Fuck that guy. Fucking over the Swifties like that. How dare he fuck over Taylor and Swifties? They didn't know any better. What a jerk. They've been duped. What a jerk to fuck over the Swifties. I got my friendship, brother. There it is. Let's go.
Swifty gag. It says her new contract with Republic Records gives her complete ownership of her songs and therefore Taylor's version was born. I don't know if Republic and Universal are the same. Maybe Republic is within Universal. And does complete ownership include distribution? I think you still need a distributor. Okay. Yeah. So they'll get the distribution rights, which is the only thing they were going to fucking get anyway, and they saved $270 million. Okay.
And nobody's talking about it because the narrative that she has is so fucking sexy. If you were a young girl, you got your heart broken a million fucking times. You have guys manipulate you, treat you like shit. Why the fuck would you want to believe that things were happening in good faith? Also, music executives historically don't have the best track record. So it's an easy person to jump on. Of course. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
Okay. Fucking Scooter. Fucking Scooter. Okay. I wonder if it affected his business in any way where artists were like, oh, if I work here, am I going to lose my masters or whatever? I wonder if it did affect his bottom line in some way. Lucian? No, Scooter in the long term.
I wonder if artists were hesitant and had to be explained the whole story. I would assume, yes. If I was a new artist signing with him, would I be like, ooh, could this backfire? Because her narrative is so compelling. I wonder if there's any verifiable way he could prove that it affected his mind. And then he had to go all the way to Korea. Yeah.
He had to go all the way to Korea where they can't even pronounce Taylor Swift. That's what he had to do. They forced him to go to fucking Korea to make boy bands. What are they? Boys, yeah. They're boys. Boy bands. This is disgusting what they've done to this poor man. Or would you want to be an artist that's associated with Scooter who has beef with the biggest artists in the world? Right. That definitely fucked up his bottom line because other people wouldn't. I think he got to sue Taylor Swift. I mean...
You ain't going to win that one. Sorry, Swifty. I get a little zen in the system and I start saying crazy shit. I think at the end of the day, everybody is happy.
We are so removed from music and we're still afraid of the Swifties. We are so removed. Listen, Swifties, free your girl from the real music execs that are fucking her over. Her dad...
Lucien? What does Lucien look like? She's over this. I think she wants to move on. She wants to move on, make billions of dollars. Why are we even bringing up this tea? I went to the concert. Let's talk about something relevant, like when Kanye stole her popcorn awards. That shit mattered. That was fucked up. That shit mattered. That space trophy it was.
That was a horrible game. That was traumatizing, dude. I know. That's horrible. Remember when I went to that concert? Yeah. You want to know who got me tickets to that shit? Scooter Braun.
So I just heard something insane. You know Netflix has over 18,000 titles globally, but only 6,000 are available to us in the U.S.? So we are literally missing out on thousands of great shows, 12,000 or more to be exact, unless you use ExpressVPN. Tons of people spend over $100 a month on streaming services, Netflix, Disney+, Prime, blah, blah, blah. But if you use ExpressVPN, you can cut back
to just Netflix, maybe one or two others if you want. Save so much every month. I'll explain how. Like I said, Netflix hides content from you based on which country you're in. So in the US, you only have access to about a third of their actual library. But with ExpressVPN, you can change your online location to a country where, say, the access isn't restricted.
And you can get way more TV shows, movies, etc. They got servers in over 100 countries. So you can gain access to thousands of new shows and never run out of stuff to watch. I've used it in the U.S. to watch Friends on Netflix, to watch Modern Family on Netflix. And I've used it when I travel abroad. I was doing shows in Europe during football season. You know how I accessed good old American football?
I access the American VPN and there you go. Guys, sign up for ExpressVPN. It's easy to use. You just fire up the app, click on one button to change locations. It works on phones, laptops, smart TVs, and more. And it was rated number one by top tech reviewers like CNET and The Verge. So be smart. Stop panicking.
Now let's get back to the show.
Alex does pretend to be a rapper. Have you ever heard this? This is a true story. Alex does pretend to be a rapper. Please tell me. He likes to get rap clout. Please tell me. Alex told me in confidence. He said, don't tell anyone. I said, I never will. But I'll tell you guys privately. Basically, sometimes when he flies Delta One, he intentionally puts on some chains and some rings. He said this on Patreon. To be a rapper. That way people see him and they go, oh, this guy must be a rapper. So he's trying to double dip on the rap clout and the podcast clout.
I hope you get pulled over. I hope you get pulled over. I hope you get searched. That's a death threat. Yeah, I really do know. That is a death threat. I do know. That's a death threat. Not in every city. I hope you get inconvenienced by this. When I drive, all this is off. Come on. Come on, man. Right here. You got a sweater tied around your neck like costume? Yeah, stop it. Come on, man.
Yeah, you gotta know when to show them and know when to fold them, bro. Yes, absolutely. That is... He loves white people asking him on Delta One, like, so, what kind of industry are you in? You just see the looks. Like, you just get the looks, and I know they're trying to figure it out in their head. It's like, oh, what black guy is this? Yeah.
Why? Because they're trying to understand why you can afford to be in Delta One. That's racist. Racism. You could sell drugs. Yeah, you could be a basketball player. Yeah, there's tons of things black people can do. Maybe not basketball. I'm going to be honest, if I saw a white guy with a bunch of tattoos and goofy ass clothes and a grill, I'd be like, what the fuck is this white boy doing? Yeah, he'll look like Lil' Mug.
Yo, Mamu checked out. How you check me? Mamu checked out. I was really scared. I was scared. I didn't even know that was him. I thought you were joking, calling this white kid a chainsaw. Yo, the greatest drill rapper in New York history was out in the Hamptons, pulled up with his pops.
We chilling at the party, July 4th. I know, so gangster, him to pull up with his pop. Pull up with his pop. I'm more afraid of Mabu's pop. Big Mabu's a little scary. And he goes, yo, wasn't that the kid over there that said I'm a culture vulture? And then I was like, Al! And I swear, Al turned around, out the corner of his eye, saw Mabu, and then...
couldn't hear me. I had to yell his name three more times. I was like, yo, didn't you call my culture? And I just started laughing like that and then ran down the yard to go play spike ball. He's the biggest culture. You really watch after CC with my little cute dog. He tried to steal spike ball from the whites. Oh, I'm nice. Don't let him off the whiteboard beef. Okay. So what happened in your interaction when Mabu checked you?
I honestly thought you were making a joke. I did not think that was Mabu. Who'd you think it was? Just a white guy, pretty much.
Pretending to be black. That's who I thought it was. All right, and then when he rolled up and he checked you and he brought the tool out. You know what was crazy? When we went for the ice cream and shit like that, I'm still thinking that wasn't Mabu. And I'm like, yo, let me get a 16. So I'm fucking with him not thinking he's actually a rapper. That's cab. I swear to God. I swear to God. You heard it, right? Did he spit for you? No, he didn't. Damn, bro. Going to eat up all my fro-yo and now you're going to give 16 bars, Mabu? We had all the time.
happens and everything. Yo, we're throwing out some wild accusations. Let me just say everything is alleged, but in case we get sued, you know who we're going to call? Morgan & Morgan, and you can call them, too, if you are wrongfully injured. They sponsored this segment. Let's get back to it. We had a fun weekend out there. Akash bailed on us, of course. Akash hates us, yo. Come on, dude. I never want to hang out with the fam. I had to show you. I had to go vindicate myself. Oh, we got to hear about this show. We're going to...
Akash, the worst bomb he's ever had in his life. He had the opportunity to right this ship. We are going to get to that. But I first want to reflect real quick on this weekend that you were not here for because you bailed on us for the worst gig you've ever done. So you had a chance to do the worst gig you've ever done again or hang out with your friends and family for July 4th and you picked the worst gig I've ever done. Akash wanted to be in the brown party. That's what it was. He wanted to pull up at the brown party. Ain't nothing wrong with that. That's who I am.
You're our friend, too. Hey, you're our friend, too. You're my brother. I see who's white. Oh, gosh, I mean that. Okay. I do see you that way. That's a compliment from you. You wouldn't like me otherwise. Okay, this weekend, boys came out. Dove found his Brazilians. I mean, Dove was just...
Dove was on a tear. That was awesome. Dove really found himself. He was only 48% this weekend. Oh, come on. I thought he was straight. He was very straight. I thought he was straight. I don't know what was happening, but I know when I walked into the office today, I heard Dove on the phone to somebody go, oh, you don't have to sell me. I'm long on the Hamptons. And I was like, what happened this weekend? What happened this weekend?
It's adult Disneyland. I know it was fun. Oh, yes. I know it was fun. It's adult Disneyland. Can I just say real quick, real quick. It's Disneyland. No, it's, it's fantastic. Rich adult Disneyland. Yeah. Yeah. Uh,
Al rented a dog for the weekend so he could fit in and not scare the white people. He rented this. How much does it cost to rent a dog for the weekend? That's my dog. Man, stop it. That is my dog. I got the cutest dog in the world. I know you walked right outside WTF on Canal Street, picked up one of them motherfuckers from a window some day. It would have been fried and battered. Before you Peking this thing, I'm just going to put you on for it. She was next to a duck hanging on a tree. So we're out there, right? And...
Bro, I'm so excited for this week. We figured everything out. The boys are coming out. Like, I'm so excited, right? I set up paddle every single day for us. Every single morning, we got paddle set up, whatever. I get out there, I think, Monday night. Tuesday, I'm like, all right, let me play some paddle. The boys are going to come in Wednesday, Thursday. Let me just get a game or two in so I can get warm for them and bust that ass. Tuesday, I play. First game.
It was either Tuesday or Wednesday. I play. I turn my back in one way. Back is gone. I'm like, all right, back is gone. I go, back is gone. My hips went this way and my back went this way. And I'm out for two weeks. Okay, so I go, okay, my back is fucking gone. I can barely breathe. It's really bad. It's the beginning of a two-hour game. I can't quit in this fucking game. Within three minutes of my back...
I jump up in the air to hit a ball. I come down and I can't jump as high as I used to, but my ankles don't know that yet. So I jumped and my feet kind of went like this thinking we were going to be in the air longer. I came down, boom, immediately spring the fuck out of my ankle. My ankle's gone back on ankle gone. Okay. Okay.
He was so sad, bro. He was so sad. I've never seen him this sad. I'm picturing him. I'm hobbling back, bro. I'm hobbling back. Why is this? That was when his back went. Oh, these x-rays. Yeah.
That was an actual photograph. This is Schultz's back when it went up. I was heartbroken. I was heartbroken. I showed up. My wife. Y'all know my wife don't like it when I'm sick or I'm hurt. She's an amazing woman. She's incredible. She supports me with everything I do. But if I get sick or hurt, she acts like I act with her. Yeah.
You know what I mean? So she was like, two hours, absolutely phenomenal. Get me anything I needed to get. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That time runs out fast. Two hours and one minute. Ha ha.
I asked for her to get like some Tylenol or something. And I remember she was like, didn't you already take it? And the second she said that shit, I was like, oh, it's going to be a long week. It's going to be a long motherfucking week. I couldn't move for the rest of the fucking week. Everything's ruined. Okay. Just for me, I'm heartbroken. I'm sad. I just want to let you, we're setting the table. Okay. The boys come out, resurgence of energy. It's getting exciting. Okay. Take it away.
Wait, what? Just take it away. What the fuck? You know, you started this conversation. What is take it away? I think he thought he interrupted. He still used to interrupt.
Take it away. He's like, yo, Andrew, I'm gonna let you finish this, but let me finish it. I done Kanye Paco and the whole fucking conversation. You're about to tell us the end of the story. You said take it away. No, no, that was it. That was it. That's hilarious. He tried to Game of Thrones us. He gave us three books and said take it away. What the fuck?
Game of Thrones your own story? Fuck y'all! Finish the series. We need book five. It's Thursday. Oh, it's Thursday. Yo, can I be honest with you? Can I be honest with you? I love you, y'all. I love you, too. I started telling y'all about twisting my ankle here in my back, and I got sad. I couldn't even think about what else I wanted to tell y'all about. Nah, you really weren't sad. I really was heartbroken. You were sad. I felt bad for you. You got taken away. Bro, I kept telling people about it.
And I would look over my shoulder and look at my wife looking at me stank for even talking about my ankle and back hurting, bro. I tried to reach for something and I was like, oh, my back hurts. I saw my wife giggling at me with Jameel. I go, are you laughing at me? And she goes, Jameel's laughing. I go, he could laugh. We built up three decades.
decades of laughing at our pain. You've got to be here for me during this period in our lives. But how much longer did you play after you got injured? Two hours. Two hours after the injury? Because I was warm and I knew that was the last time I was probably going to be able to play travel ever. That's a good point. Do you think you exacerbated the injury? Yes, Mark. My ankle still doesn't work. You said take it away. I'm just asking interesting questions. Not with girl logic. God damn it. Need to get the win. Did you win?
We actually did one once. But it doesn't matter. We're not counting that. It was an overall net loss. But anyway, the boys came out and we had a great time. And Dove was in Adult Disney World. He found his Brazilian girls and he was just on fucking fire. How did Dove inherit your injury? Because we had all these games set up and he also didn't play. Oh, yeah.
Do you think that he had a reason for that, maybe? I don't know. He said he was also injured. I got injured. What are you going to say? How'd you... It's not contagious. How'd you get his injury? He got injured. He could dance every fucking night. I know. He was out until 5 a.m. 5 a.m. What'd you get injured doing? Backstrokes? What the fuck? Receiving? Yeah.
It just happens. We're playing a lot of paddle. It's too much. But did you have fun? You had fun out there? Phenomenal. We all did. Talk about the... Dove, your voice sounds hoarse. A little raspy. We all still have Molly in our system. Oh, yeah. They were doing so much fucking Molly. Bro, it's also funny, like...
This is one thing that I... He just got a little hit. He just got a little hit. He just took a dip right now. He said the word and started licking your fingers. That's Pavlovian. That was Pavlovian, bro. That's crazy. That was Pops in Friday. You feel salt in your mouth? That was absolutely crazy, bro. Yo, I gotta say, after this weekend, I do have some friends with some drug problems. I do, man.
And by friends, I mean I have one friend with a real drug problem, bro. You know you got a friend with a drug problem when the rest of your friends are like, yo, this dude's an asshole. Yeah, let me tell you something. We got one friend who is an asshole. Bro.
now i got two friends ball is one of them but he's not the one i'm talking about that was my first guess no it wasn't it wasn't ball but it was funny because ball must have ball must have been on some coke or some shit because some people came up to me like hey we're at the msg show and uh you know the show was great and and that was really so thoughtful the video at the end and ball was right next to me you know me like i want to give people credit for making this i was like yo vol i was like this is the guy who made the video right
I go, this is the guy that made the video. Vala turns around, he goes... The heartwarming video of your family? Yeah, yeah. And then I was like, I was so beautiful with the baby and everything like that. He didn't say a single word. He went... They finished complimenting you? And then he just went like this. He went...
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. His bottom jaw looked like a typewriter, bro. He was like... It was the mask, bro. It was scary. It was going. Oh, my God, bro. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Nah, we had a fun barbecue. Great barbecue. Fun. We had a lot of drugs at this party. You surprised us with a Frolio truck. I was all Emma. Emma did a nice job with that. So sweet. And then we went to this fucking rich-ass party, bro. Here's the thing. The final night? The final night
We went to this rich, it's like the July 4th party, whatever. We can't jump to the final, right? Oh, where were we at? The party you got kicked out of. I didn't mean to get kicked out. No one ever means to get kicked out. I didn't mean to get kicked out. I walked out of the door and I didn't know you couldn't leave out of that door.
They were open. They were open. I opened the door. And they were like, you can't leave out the door. And I'm like, well, I'm already out. You want me to go back in and close the door? And then there was a whole day. It's not a big deal. We don't got to talk about that. I think we worked it out. I think we figured all the things out. Did you get back in or did you get kicked out? No, no, no. It was a stalemate. It was stalemate.
But he went in the car and left. Yeah, I left. He was already leaving. Yeah, I left. You can't fire me. Nah, we left. We left. We got to leave with the boy. Yeah. We got kicked out. We got to go. I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong. Yeah. And then Miles got kicked out. I'm making sure they left with you. Is that it? I'm making sure they left with you. Listen, none of us were feeling anything. Miles got kicked out right after. Miles got kicked out for mixing girls' drinks. Yeah. This is so stupid. Don't do that. Fucking maniac this guy is. Oh, I'm Nice Miles.
all my friends are gay yeah you learned some tricks from them didn't you he was grabbing random drinks and just mixing them together like he had some fucking molly or something in the drink and the girl was like what are you doing on my drink and immediately get him the fuck out of here i was eavesdropping and i needed to look busy more like bar dropping am i right i was eavesdropping and i got i had to look busy like i worked there so i started cleaning up a table and i was pouring all the drinks into one drink and then they didn't like what
How is that better? We were both eavesdropping. Here's how I was eavesdropping. I was going like this. I was way closer. Here's how Miles was eavesdropping. He was going...
Mark didn't hear anything. I was way closer. I was in the group. I was in the fucking group. Then you don't gotta eavesdrop. You're in the fucking group. Yeah, chime in. Just drop. You're right there. Well, not like I wasn't turned to them. Just tell us your logic when you picked up the girls drinking and you started mixing another drink. There was 20 drinks that were half drinking and I just started pouring them into one looking like I was working there.
I was really drunk. There we go. Remember when I said I had a friend that got a real drug problem? Is the girl Miles' drugs? Miles did not drug any girls. Okay. We go to... Fine. We have a lovely dinner at this restaurant in downtown Sac Harbor. Phenomenal. Great food. Great night. Amazing.
And then we go to this party. Okay. And the party is this like very fancy. This is like the culminating event of the weekend. And we're getting loose. But the dance floor is kind of, I'll be honest with you, it was mid-late.
No one's really, like everybody's there, but kind of like they're aware that they're being looked at. Go, Mark. Can I share another Miles story? Yo, Miles has some story. No disrespect, but I'll take it away. Yeah, take it away. Take it away, Mark.
that party was so hard to get into it was like unbelievable i don't even know how dove pulled it off between you two like we all got in and there's a group like eight of us there's a line around the block cops are showing up oh yeah the street is shut down it was impossible to get into yeah and and as we're getting in there's this girl beautiful girl comes up to me she's like hey like i really i need help getting in like all my friends are in there and this girl's a p a 10 a beautiful girl and i was like oh
Yeah, well, I'm so glad you asked. Miles is walking up right now. I was like, this is your guy. Hold on, hold on one second. Sorry, sorry, sorry. The exact same thing happens to every one of us, by the way. Yeah, yeah. Because there are girls that are just so desperate to get into this party that they're literally at the gate. It's like, have you ever been to like a Hilton where the koi fish are at the gate?
And they don't feed them because they know that like the Asians will stay there and they get excited. So the coefficient when you walk by, so the girls are at the fence, go, right? And they're walking up, hey, can we come in with you? And when we pulled up, they were like, oh, okay, you guys are here for the party, blah, blah, blah. And once they noticed that we were going to get in, they start trying to latch on. And one girl asks, hey, can I go with you? And they're like, no.
I don't know what's going on. She goes, yeah, I'll just go in with you if you guys go in. She's like, I'm a girl. I'll just go in. He goes, yeah, I don't know. She's like, can I just go in with you? He just goes, I don't work here.
That's one way to handle this situation. Now the other way to handle it is? Is you say, you know what? We're going to pretend that we're married and I'm going to walk in with you. That's great. I set a good thing up. That's a perfect setup. So she goes, that's a great idea and just locks arms with him and they start chit-chatting and sort of talking about the weekend and we're all filing in. And this is how hard the door is. A ten, a beautiful woman from New York City can't get into a party and what world does that happen? Coifish.
And so Miles grabs her that she's on his arm and we all walk in. And then he's the last one to walk in. And you are kind of like saying who can get in, dah, dah, dah. And then you look at Miles, you go, he's good. She is. And I was like, yeah. And Charles was like, she's also good, I guess. I don't know. I guess he works here. And then Miles and her just walked into the party. And I was like, oh, this is great. This is great. We have such good vibes. Ratio is on 10 right now. And then, uh.
Never saw the girl again. So you know how sheisty women are? She was with her friend. And left her friend behind. In a heartbeat. Left her friend behind. So that was crazy. I think, was the other girl hot too? Yeah. I think they burned off. I was just being a little generous. But I mean, she was up there. For the story. Yeah, for the story. Yeah, she was up there. The friend was...
Nice. What happened? You guys have so much chemistry going into this party. I got her number. We talked. And then I was like, she's dying. She's dying. She's dying. She's dying. Come on, Miles. You got to be using you. They were using me. I knew it. She's like, how long do I have to stay by his side before I can go make my move? She beat him to the door. Bruh. She did.
They were separate by the time they got into the house. Wait, what was her excuse? Did she say, oh, I gotta go suck the guy's dick? Yeah, exactly. But it's also funny because does she owe Miles pussy because they walked in together? Not at all, but they have a friendship. I think you gotta take advantage of Miles.
I think you can say her name and then y'all can let her know how you feel. You gotta go full Taylor. She got fans. She has fans. Oh, really? Yeah, she's a reality TV girl. No way. On Netflix and everything. What's up, noodle dicks? You see the blue light. You know what time it is. It's time to step your fucking game up, dog. You know what you need to get that blue chew. The guys have been sponsoring us since day one. Some of you

away from the party where everything I'll be honest if I have Adderall in the system I want a pot I'm trying to podcast bro I was like fuck all this dancing shit I need the Adderall to work through me a little bit and then we can let loose so we were talking by the pool for a little bit but when we got to the dance floor we turned it into a mosh pit
Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, you bullied the DJ and be like, well, what's, what's, what's happened? And then Mark started flashing his iPhone just to give the request, but we need it. It was proper. I need it. We saved the party. I mean, I don't want to say it. I don't want to say that, but you can say it. I don't think we saved the party. They saved the party.
For them. For them, for sure. Gave it the crescendo it needed. You see one section of the dance floor just jumping up and down. Shirts are coming off. The rest of the dance floor,
Kind of like that a little bit. But it was fun. What song? Mr. Brightside. Oh, yeah. Nirvana. Nirvana. The final three songs. Nirvana's fantastic. Listen, we don't know how to do the cool shit. I don't understand. I don't know how to do the cool shit. If we go to the party, we're going to podcast by the pool.
Are we going to fucking turn the fuck up on the dance floor? I'm not going to do stupid, I'm being looked at, everybody's watching me dance moves. We're either going for it and having fun, and it's going to get wild, and you're going to see girls in fucking six-inch heels jumping up and down, mosh pit style. They all got on board, too, and I respect that, because sometimes the girls, they want to be too cool or whatever, and there's fucking... Adult Brazilians.
Yeah, the Brazilians were fucking cool. But like, there's girls out there trying to get shows. You know, Leo's sitting in the fucking corner. Yeah. You know, so those girls could go, am I the one? Yeah. Or they could turn the fuck up.
They was trying to fuck up. Leo went home empty-handed. Loser. You know what I'm saying? What a loser. I don't think he's ever gone home empty-handed. No, you're right. I think he left with Miles, girl. That'd be the coolest thing in the world. That'd be unbelievably the coolest thing in the world. Yo, Miles with the John Stockton to Leo, man. That's sick, actually. Just no look past. You stop looking, she was gone. Yeah.
No, we had fun. It was a good time, and I'm stoked that you all were there. And Akash, I wish you were there, bro. I know, I know. Thank you for having us. No, dude, come on. Thank you for having us. That was awesome. That was fire. Awesome. That's the only way... Yeah, that's the only way I want to celebrate those things. I think that's the thing, like... I don't know. It's... Yeah, like, there's that... There's the big party out there every year, which is the white party, which is at Michael Rubin's house. Yeah. And...
I assume all these people are friends, so it makes sense that they're hanging together. But the idea of not being with—if you're not friends with all those people that are already there, the idea of not being with your friends on July 4th or on a fun weekend when you can, when everybody's off and they're trying to party, it just seems like a little bit of a mistake. Yeah.
in my opinion. But if that's your community, you guys hang all the time and then you get to let loose and rip, then that seems like a good idea. Did you get invited? No, no, no. I'm not cool enough to do something like that. But if I was, I wouldn't want to do that over hanging out with you guys and party. It's going to be the same music. It's going to be the same alcohol. There's more small talk. There's more small talk and I hate the fucking small talk. I can't do it. I had my all white outfit ready just in case we got... Just in case...
I had it ready to go. Not gonna lie. Don't ask for a plus three. That'll get you banned from the party. You saw that clip? Yeah, I was saying this on the thread, but the white party to me seems like dudes met gala. Yeah. Like, we all get, everybody gets dressed up, you get super hyped. They're
really mean anything, but getting an invite is like you made it. And then we're like, what watch is he wearing? Everybody's flexing with the watches. To me, it's just the male Met Gala. Now, I'd still probably go off, I got invited because I ain't shit, but we know what it is, right? We know what time it is. You're not friends with these people. You're just trying to be like, I made it.
But I'm sure the part. Yeah, exactly. And I'm sure that feels good. There's like validation. Yes. You're like, oh, I'm at a level, etc. So I'm sure it's incredibly flattering. Like the Met Gala thing is flattering. Like I have zero interest to go to the fucking Met Gala ever. Yeah. If I go, it's because my wife made me. Exactly. The only thing and it's important to them. So, you know, that's something that you have to go. But the Met Gala is on some random Monday.
You're not doing nothing better than that on a Monday. But July 4th, all your boys are going to come out and then you're going to leave all your friends to go to this party. It could be a good business opportunity, right? You meet good people. It validates the career. It is great. It does all those things. So maybe you have to look at it like that. You have to look at it like doing a show. Sometimes you've got to perform on Christmas. Sometimes you've got to perform on New Year's. Sometimes you've got to perform on July 4th. So you can look at it like that. That's the smart way to look at it. And maybe they're looking at it like that too.
But I'm also like, if I could have 12 of my homies out east and we could just fucking eat lobster rolls and some of them could do lots of cocaine and we could just laugh at each other. Like, yeah, that's going to be so much fun for me going to like a party when I know I have a big group at that party. Like I came with eight guys like that. I can go and do my.
But you know you have a home base. It's nothing. The best. That's probably the best. Going to a party with one other dude to just kind of like. Now you feel responsible for them. Oh, yeah. If a couple of your friends are at the white party and you get invited, that's probably lit as fuck. You're like, oh, my God. You're here. We're chilling. I'm sure. You know who likes that party the most? Athletes or NFL and NBA that are off season. And they get to really let loose right now before they go back to camp and season. It's like. And also they got a bunch of their IMF.
Imagine homies. If you're a basketball player, you've been playing with the same dude since you're 14 years old. If you're an elite basketball player. So it's not like these people are strangers. Yeah. You know? But... Good times, man. Yeah, it was fire. Good times. Except for... Good times. But I will say this, though. Ferg was fire. I was too. Yeah, Ferg, you went crazy for Ferg. Bar for bar for Ferg. It's kind of wild. I didn't even know you had that. No, I said Ferg is nice. He's unbelievable. He performed at that point. He killed that shit.
But yeah, it was, I'll tell you this though, I only got two days of partying left in me now. Well, we're total. I got, I got, no, no, like I could party. Forever? Damn, dog. Nah, I could party for two days and then I'm like, my body can't produce serotonin anymore. Oh.
Like it just runs out of happiness. I was in bed all day yesterday. I woke up, I ate, I'm back to sleep. That was all day yesterday. See, I want to do that, but then my wife would be looking at me crazy like, you partied and now you're not hanging out with your daughter? So I'm like, all right, I'm going to be tired all day just to prove you wrong. Let's see who naps first.
But I knew I showed up late because when I got back that night, my wife was pumping. Oh, yay. So she was pumping her breasts. She was like getting the milk out in the middle of the night. And I was like, oh, fuck. Yeah. Imagine the way she looking at you like, God damn, you're just getting in. I'm sitting here being a mom this whole time. Three in the morning, you're stumbling. Dumbass. Fucking idiot. Yeah. Chose the wrong gender. Yeah.
Anyway, so that was fun. What else we got going on, boys? Oh, Akash, Akash, Akash. So while we just had the most fun this whole weekend, Akash was on a journey for redemption. Yes, I had to. And...
You guys have heard this story before. You want to set it up a little? It is my greatest bomb ever. 2012 show for just Indians, specific type of Indians called Kanaan Catholics. I go in there thinking these are my people. I'm going to crush. I eat the biggest dick I've ever eaten for an hour straight. Someone's literally falling asleep in the front row. Horrible setup, et cetera, et cetera. This time they asked me back. They say, we've heard that you tell this story. We want to make things right.
So I'm like, OK, I'm going there and this setup needs to be great. And if it's not, I might just take my fucking check and go home. And they're like, fine. So I fly down there the morning of and the setup is fucked. I mean, they took none of the things that I asked for. Wow. I'm walking into it's at the San Antonio Convention Center, whatever Gonzalez. And I remember when I saw the address, they put me in a hotel and I assumed the show would be at the hotel, like four or five hundred people.
I'm at a convention center. I'm like, that seems like a big room. And they tell me on the way up, they're like, oh, we're expecting a pretty good turnout, like maybe 500, maybe even 1,000 people. I'm like, okay, cool. I walk into the room. Dead ass, I see 3,000 chairs. This room is 100 yards long. It's massive. This is where Tony Robbins...
or Tony Roberts, whatever his name is, would give a speech. The motivational guy? Yeah. It's a fucking arena side. You're doing theaters, at least, if you're here. You would do a show there and be like, all right, cool, I can sell this out. Like 3,000 chance. That's a lot of people, especially in a convention center. There's like...
It's just flat and long. Dumb high. Horrible setup. There's a 20-foot gap between me and the front row of the audience. I sent Andrew a video. I'm freaking out how big the room is. So I start arguing with everything. You look like the NFL draft. Dead ass. Dead ass. It's a massive room. And if there's 500 people, Sean, they're not going to all sit at the front. They're going to go...
scattered everywhere. It's going to be the worst show ever. But they told you where it was the day of? You didn't know? They said convention center, but I don't know what room it is. So I remember thinking, I'm like, they got like a small room in the convention center? Because last time it was in a hotel. So I'm thinking, it can't be that much bigger. I don't realize I'm 40 and 12 years have passed. It's a way different thing now. And what they did, they have like 3,000 people sign up for the conference and one of the events has everybody. So they just have one room. They set up chairs for that event and they're like, we're not going to change it.
So I start going fucking nuts, yelling at everybody. I'm thinking about Andrew and I'm like, what I would normally do is just be like, all right, well, I'll just make the best show I can make out of this. And then I'm like, no, fuck that. So I start arguing. They have two air walls. One can cut off like 20% of the room. That's great. I'm like, okay, cool. That's manageable. They say we can do that. There's another one that could cut off 40% of the room. Now, if we can get that closed, we're cooking.
So I'm, yeah, for four hours, I'm arguing with everybody. Close this fucking wall. Close this fucking wall. Finally, they kick it up the chain of command. They're like, all right, we're going to give in. We're going to close this wall. Don't worry about it. They move the whole night around. 20 minutes before the show, they're like, hey, we can't close that wall. So I'm like, we still are going to have like 800 extra chairs probably. Fuck, I got to try to make this work. I'm not seeing the line anymore.
And this was a cool part. Kev was out there and he was like, man, I wish I taped it. When they opened the doors, people fucking sprinted to get to the best seats. Like it was a Black Friday sale or something. So then I'm feeling a little better. Oh, this is a good story? It's a good story. Fuck. Damn. So then I get on stage and the set isn't, it's a hard show to really crush in. It's still a lot of kids who haven't really seen a comedy show. It's still not a great setup. I don't crush by any stretch, but I definitely don't bomb like I thought I would. Yeah, yeah.
It was an upgrade. Yeah, it was a massive upgrade. And they were so hyped to see me. It was the coolest fucking thing. Every chair pretty much is full, which I was like, yo, they expected 500, 1,000. We got like 1,500, 2,000. Mad people came out. Aunties were coming up. And then after, dog, I got emotional. Like when I went back,
I got like mobbed. Like I felt like a fucking for 15 minutes, I felt like this is what a Bollywood star feels like. Mad people trying to take pictures. I'm just doing selfie, selfie, selfie. So it ended up being a fucking awesome story. And I'm really glad I went. But if I went to 4th of July and then I just showed up right before the show, I would have eaten dick again.
So I ended up being a mess. Like, I'm so thankful to shout out to Joven Thomas, who like I was on him all the time, calling, calling, calling. And he was he was in my heart. I'm happy that you got your redemption. Yeah. Yeah. I know you are. But in my head. Yeah, I know. I wish you had a worse story. That is friendship. But in my heart, I am happy. That is brotherhood. I hope you sprain your back again. You never get to play again.
I was thinking literally, I swear to God, I told my wife this morning. You should have heard me just saying that. I told my wife this morning. I was like, I'm going to start playing paddle just so I can play with Andrew. I know quality time means a lot to my friend. I just realized this. I haven't been doing that enough. I'm going to learn paddle to play with him. And now I hope you break your foot and I never have to play with you again. Just that's what I hope. Sure.
in my head my heart is saying something different I love you too bro I love you too bro I love you Doug okay so it worked out it was great it ended up being a fantastic experience I got to see my mom the day before it was nice did she come to the show? no I just flew down early trying to help them move and stuff like that but I don't ever get to see my folks anymore so that was cool did you know a lot about this sect of I did not before the last show
And now you've learned a bit. And now I know a little bit more, but I was asking them stuff and I was like, so here's basics I know. You guys really are only allowed to marry each other. People call you inbred. I know you're alcoholics. I know like it started in like Syria. And then they were like that, the first two things, pretty much all you need to know. Syria part don't even matter. So there's just a sect of Catholics that everybody that knows about them looks at and is like, they're weird. And they're okay with that.
Because they're doing their own thing. They're like, that's fine. We get it. Are there any distinguishing characteristics that we would know about them? No, I can't even. I know they're from Kerala. So like we call them Malus because they speak Malayalam. So every person that's Kanaan Catholic is Malus, but not every Malus is Kanaan Catholic. They're like a section of, for whatever reason, they got...
you know, converted this other way. Right. And I don't even... When I asked them what the other beliefs were, they didn't really have a good answer for me. So, I don't know. Maybe they just didn't want to explain it to me 30 minutes before a show. But, yeah, if you see someone who looks like he married his cousin... So this is like the Indian version of the Curleys in Brooklyn? Like that? But Christian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's how we look at them. But they drink way more. Oh. Oh, so they're funny. They're runks. Yeah. Is...
Like... Hmm. How do I say this? It seems like... I wanted to say it was just Indians, but there's other places where they're, like, really good at, like, community and, like, maintaining community. Yeah. And...
Is it just a Western thing where that is, for whatever reason, less important? Or maybe... You know what I think it is? Hindus are not as good as other communities because we get persecuted less. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Jewish people are very tight because they get persecuted every hundred years. Sick people, my wife's side, very tight, they get persecuted. So answer me this, though. If you go to England and you go to the North, there are these distinct...
that are separated by fucking 30-minute car ride. Yeah. But culturally, completely different. Yeah. Like, Liverpool and Manchester are how far? From half hour to an hour? An hour and a half. I don't know. An hour, hour and a half, yeah. They're like, they think that they are polar opposites. Yeah, somebody, I took an Uber from one city to the other for shows, and the guy was like, I never come over here, I should. He's like, dog, it's an hour. So what does that, like, what unites, how do you get, like, a tribal...
I don't know. Is that just like thousands of years of history? Probably. Thousands of years. And then since America, we're so young that exists when the tribal people come here, but the people that have been here for a while just start to kind of. And probably back then when they formed the communities, you couldn't get, there was no cars to drive an hour and a half to live. Right. So it really solidifies. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense.
And then the black people here, unfortunately, are stripped from their past. Yeah, and they get persecuted a lot, so I think there's a lot of black people. But also some of your tribes might have sucked, and now you're like, you don't have to do that. You know we're all lit. Come on, bro. No, I don't know. I mean, some tribes sold y'all. You know what I mean? They're probably not lit.
I respect the devil down. That is the only way out, really. That is an awesome form of marketing. Who is like, wipe that from the history books? What part? The blacks selling the blacks. No one wiped that. You guys love to point that out every time. Just me. Everybody loves to. Just I. But we still can't name a dude.
Like, we don't know who the biggest seller of black people was in... Shifty's leaving. He's like, I can't keep going. We also don't know the biggest buyer. Yeah. I think we do. I mean, we know the group, but we don't know... Brazil. I think they had the most... And they were picking the fucking...
cream of the crop because it was brazilian right like they didn't they didn't do much jesus right well because they were so hot yeah true you just got the hot the second they bent down to pick a cotton they were like what's up my back son oh hold on i pulled my back again that's why i'm bending down
I gotta pee real quick. Okay, we take a little break. And we are back. It looks like the Aperol Spritzes have begun. We're not letting go of summer. We are just beginning. We're just getting started. We're just warming up.
No, no, I got one. You know there's a Zin Shores in New York City? I believe it. People don't have Zins anymore. I believe it. What are they going to? I'm just like vaping and shit, but also trying to like get Zins on the low. Now people are Zin dealing. They got Zin dealers that are getting them wholesale, driving them in, and they're just slinging them for upcharge. It's like masks during a pandemic. Yeah. Okay. So we got to get our hands on some Zins. Um,
I, I want to talk about this. Uh, you saw the not like us video. Yeah. What'd y'all think about it? I mean, it's fire. Did you like it? Yeah. It's fantastic. I didn't like it. I thought it was a little weak. Really? I thought it was like the, the metaphors were really overhanded. Which ones? They're like, say a line and then like act out the line.
It was like, uh, hide the Bible, something to watch. And it's like, there's a Bible and I'll hide it. Like it was so deliberate that I thought it took away. Like the nice thing about showing something is that you don't also have to tell it. Yeah. And, uh,
I don't know. I just felt like there was a bunch of those moments where it was very deliberate. I thought it looked beautiful. Kev said it was. It just looks fucking clean. Like the shipping containers. Clean, white. Also, there's a lot of that underhanded type shit. Like the shipping containers.
If you're going to say Drake traffics in women. Oh, God. Okay. Well, there's some metaphor that I didn't see. And maybe I'm just like a fool looking at it, but there's a few lines that I thought were like... And the actual line that he raps, the action is showcased at the exact same time. And I thought that that was just a little... Some of the stuff I've... For how...
elegant he is when it comes to like his metaphors and how artistic he is with his rapping i thought it was quite pedestrian yeah like an old school eminem video yeah where it's just like every little part yeah it's like uh pam anderson is here and then pam anderson pops up like yeah yeah i guess the reason why i was a little uh underwhelmed was because the concert
And I thought this was just going to be another one of those where he's breaking all of L.A. out and you were just going to see so much of L.A. A lot of it was just he brought every human in Compton out. It just it didn't feel like a celebration. It felt like it was it's about me. And then, you know, I'll flash to moments of where I show everyone else. But on stage, that one big moment, like I thought it was going to be more of that. So I guess. Yeah.
Oh, I thought this was a whole showcase of Compton and West Coast shit. Yeah, he did. He definitely did. Like in everything, there's a West Coast touch. So some of this stuff, I don't know what's true and what's not. Some of this stuff that's supposed to be more subtle. Some of it I for sure believe, like the guy who's wearing the wife beater and the overalls that Kendrick gives five to, he's dressed like the...
I think in the like that, like when him and Future have the album cover, it's like almost the exact same outfit. There's some people who say the gray suit he wears in front of the shipping container looks very similar to the one R. Kelly wears in his interview. And he's like, y'all killing me with this shit.
I don't know if that's real or not. No, it's not. He does. That would be weird. Well, I think he's, again, if you're doing it, alluding to trafficking. Him and his wife dancing. Oh, that was fire. That was fire. That's like an allusion to Family Matters, I think. It's like 80s sitcom vibes. It's like, oh, you want to talk old sitcom. But if you're going to say this stuff about my wife, having her in the video with a wife beater,
is also a very funny touch oh okay that's good i think i don't know if it's a seawalk or fucking whatever la dance that is but she's killing it good dancer and i think that was a direct fuck you to people who are going to be like i think he's responding to me being like it's not about drake being white it's about being in touch with the culture and y'all are saying my wife is mixed race whatever i don't care about the race it's the cultural aspect my wife is in touch culturally
she crip walks on the hopscotch thing during the A minor line I don't need to tell her to crip walk either I don't know if she's Hoover stomping or crip walking or whatever but she's doing some LA shit in that dance and I think it's like it's not about the race it's about the culture she's a part of the culture and releasing it on Independence Day apparently who do we get freedom from the colonizers on Independence Day which I thought was fire too yeah no yeah
It's directed by Dave Free. Oh, that's his boy. Yeah, and at the end they made that a big thing. Directed by Kendrick and Dave Free. It was like the first thing that pops up after. Drake was saying that's like the father. Yeah, the baby daddy. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I just saw it and I was like, I thought it was fine. And I was ready for it to be majestic. You wanted more artistry.
Or like the subtle stuff that we know Kendrick to do. Yeah, it could like it was almost like, hey, look, I have a good relationship with my wife and family. I think you got to be overhand heavy handed with that. I don't know if you have to, because I think in a way like showing that means that you feel you have to address it. Yeah, again, you know what I mean? It's like when you're doing the victory lap.
I don't mind him addressing it now. Fair enough. If he did it immediately... Drake was trying to address it during, and that's actually what hurt him. That's a good point. That's a good point. That's a good point. Yeah. If it was like, if somebody says, you're gay, and you're like, I get so much pussy. Like, it's corny. But if you win the battle, and then you show off all the things you got, okay, I have to look at it through that perspective. You got the Rosen in the video? That was awesome. Yeah, that was a big move. And I'm curious how Toronto will feel about that.
Because Toronto. Again, this is something we talked about with Ack. Everybody turning on Drake can't just be everybody being a Fairweather fan. It can't just be that. You know what I mean? Like, if you got no allies left, it can't be that everybody sucks and you're good. I will say this. If there's one thing this weekend told me is that Drake is going to be just fine. I'm sure. Just fine. Is it?
Every time the Drake song comes on, everybody's saying every single word. It's still so much fun to dance to. The guy's got a catalog that's so fucking deep, it's untouchable. He's going to be just fine. In that aspect of things, yes. But imagine being at the Michael Rubin White Party and people are taking their phones out watching Kendrick's video that just dropped.
Oh, that was... That was actually happening. Yeah, that's... That he's there. That's why he looks so sad. That's why he looks a little sad in the pictures, yep. Yeah. Imagine. It's also stressful, like, knowing, like, if you invite Drake to any party, you have to tell the DJ he can't play this song, even though it's the song of the summer. Yeah. It's almost, yeah, it's, like, annoying, I guess, having Drake there in that regard. But I think that this goes away, like...
The biggest Raptus I ever remember was Ether, right? Nas absolutely lobotomized Jay-Z with Ether, right?
Jay-Z is... He was fine. Yeah. Jay-Z is fine. He's fine. Now, granted, the things Nas was saying were less sticky. Yeah, they were very surface level. You're gay, whatever, like that. Like, calling someone a pedophile, like, that trend has seemed to kind of lock in. Like, people are just thinking this of Drake. Even though they know it's not real, it's real enough to where it kind of sticks. It's...
To what you're saying, like, it's like the Clinton body count. Like, is Hillary and Bill, like, are they, like, if we're actually being serious, are Hillary and Bill, like, having a conversation with, like, yo, murder that person and then, like, are they the ones that are shot calling and then there's, like, this big mafia family? I doubt it. Are they involved with people that...
Maybe if these individuals release this information, it would affect more than Bill and Hillary. And then maybe they ended up murking somebody. Possible. I don't know. But again, I don't know. But it is just accepted, right?
that Bill and Hillary got a list of bodies and they're out there murking motherfuckers. And that's just, it's accepted, but anytime you see Bill or Hillary, nobody's walking up and be like, you killed people. They're like, oh my God, Bill, let me get a picture. So I wonder if this is just going to be a narrative that's accepted and goes along with Drake. But when the music comes on, the music is great. I think Drake the pop star is fine. Drake the pop star is going to be okay. People are going to sing along. Drake, the greatest rapper ever, that took a hit.
Oh. And I would say the verse that hurt, the accusation that hurt the most, like the pedophile stuff, most people are going to be like, that's so ridiculous. It's so out there, I just can't bring myself to believe it. What I think will hurt him the most is the Atlanta verse.
the colonizer verse, I think is the one that sticks to him the most. 'Cause Jay-Z, nobody ever was like, - That's a good point. - "You didn't grow up in Bed-Stuy. You're not a part of the culture. You didn't sell drugs." Nobody questioned Jay-Z's authenticity ever. Drake already had that. And now it's not only are you not authentic, you actually just used us
To get ahead. Where the narrative used to be, Drake puts everyone on. Put you on. Now it's turned to Drake is using you to qualify himself so that we don't see him as a Jewish kid from Canada. Yes.
And that was a big flip. That is a big, big flip. The biggest flip in this whole thing. Yeah, that's a great point. The pedophile one is the, I mean, for lack of a better word, the most hilarious. It's the most salacious. It's the easiest one to pick on. It's the easiest one to poke at. But the actual damage could be done relationship-wise. But at the same time, if you're a young and up-and-coming rapper and Drake wants to give you a feature, you're not saying no.
Like, who could say no? No, you're not, but the people might look at it differently. There's a video of Anthony Edwards, who's I think from Atlanta, and he's like the coolest basketball player to Americans right now, rapping that third verse word for word to his homie holding the phone like, check this out, this is what he's saying. You run to Atlanta with like, that perception is there now. That's a good-ass point. I think you said, or act,
You repeated something Ack said, but the Drake stimulus package is over. Yeah. Like if Ack, his biggest fan, is saying that, that's telling. I think he's going to be fine, bro. I know it sounds crazy, but I think this song will obviously run through summer. By the end of summer, it's fine. And then it just goes back into the songs that you've heard before. You're a DJ. You got to play 200 songs in a night. You're really not going to play Drake. Right.
You're really not going to play Drake? You're going to play Drake. This is hyperbolic, but again, this is hyperbolic, but do we look at him in the same general galaxy as a Nelly? Where it's like, yeah, I'm going to dance to your shit. It's going to be play at a club, but I'm not looking at Nelly as like a goat rapper. No, I think we look at him as... And if we don't know what you wrote and what you didn't...
I don't even think people are caring about that that much. Cause maybe I care about them more cause we're comics and it's like such a thing. Yeah. But like, I think, I think that's been out there and I don't think we care more about that now because of this. Like, I think that's peaks. Yeah.
But I do think your point about the, I'm just using these people for a cool stamp of approval. Whereas we used to look at it as the biggest rapper in the world is co-signing. Like that's a great fucking point. Yeah. And did they cut off a channel for him? Yeah. And a channel that was really helpful. And he has a bunch of other channels. He'll be fine with those other channels, but that channel. That was a big one. And that's really necessary for someone in rap. The streets got to co-sign you.
And he had that. Yeah. Yeah. It's an interesting, I don't know, but I think like, I'm trying to find an equal example of someone else in music that went through something like this, but the music still prevails. Like. It's hard to say where the music still prevails. Cause like. Michael. 50 Ja. Yeah.
I mean, Michael had the worst. He literally had that shit. Like kids coming out stronger. I mean, Mike, Mike slaps no matter what. That's true. And Mike ain't write his shit.
You know what I mean? Pop artists, it's expected. There's a different expectation. Frank Sinatra didn't write his shit. I get it, 100%. But I think as time goes on, you remember how those Drake songs made you feel, and they encapsulate a certain time in the same way food does. Like, pumpkin pie is Christmas and Thanksgiving. It reminds you of being a kid, and it's Thanksgiving, and your grandma's there. Whatever these things happen, I think the same thing happens with music. It just gets like...
with your life and how you felt in these certain times. I'm sure that's why Taylor Swift is so huge. She just fucking makes it happen. And the more frivolous music, sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it just goes away.
And I think Drake has got those songs where you're just like, oh, this is how I feel, and I'm fucking rapping this shit. Yeah, I don't think anything hurts his back catalog. It's just what happens moving forward. Okay, fair, fair. What about his standing as, when you're talking about greatest rappers ever, where does he fall now? I should say generational. If anything, he's never going to be higher than number two.
But like, isn't that, I agree. I agree. But like only within your, I feel like that's within your generation. You know, it's the same thing with like basketball. Like these kids that grew up with LeBron, like they only think LeBron is the greatest. They literally do not think Michael is. And why would they? They never saw Michael do what we saw him do. And I think the same thing exists with music where it's just like this generation might go, all right, Kendrick was number one and Drake's number two. And that's how they might remember it. And that's totally fine. Yeah.
But the next generation is already on someone else. And they're like, yeah, Kendrick ain't number one and neither is Drake. This guy is number one. I don't know who the new... You'll put that guy, then Kendrick, then Drake. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And then after another generation goes, you're not even talking about Kendrick and Drake. So I think it's just you become, you wear the belt within your generation. And then you just have to accept like...
it's going to move on. None of these young kids considered Jay-Z to be the greatest rapper alive. Yeah. Our generation, there are very few people that don't think that he was wearing the belt and he was number one. So it's like, it's a, it's a kind of silly endeavor to chase for your life because it will never exist. Yeah.
It's like being the greatest empire of all time. Oh, was Rome the greatest empire? I don't fucking know. Like, it seems like America is. Louis said a thing when he came on this pod. He was like, the top of the mountain is not a place you're supposed to stay. Yeah. It's a place you go visit and then you get the fuck down. Yeah. He would say he'd probably try to stay up there too long. But you go up there, you're like, hey, I got here. Now let's get back down. You're not setting up a home. It's not your choice. Yeah. Yeah.
Get comfortable with that idea because you're not... People, you'll be there temporarily if you got there. That's it. That's all you can do. I mean, some people can go twice. Some people might even be able to go three times. There are different people that have these different stages in their career where, like, they kill it. Things are okay. They have this resurgence. That happens sometimes. It rarely happens, but sometimes happens. But...
whether this generation, like, I think it, maybe we remember this and we go, okay, yeah, it was Kendrick. He was, he was the best, but I don't think that we'll listen to Kendrick's music more now because of that. Oh, you know, you know, like, yeah, short term we will, but you guys make a good point. Moving forward. What is the step forward? I think you got to take the summer off, bro. Like just, I think he's got more products coming. Yeah, he does not. I think he's doing like a, Ak just tweeted something about how he's got some more heat on the way. Oh, wow. Uh,
Yeah, dude. Here's what I'll also say. After the push thing, I remember we had just started Flaygrant. I came on as a guy who didn't like Drake and I was like, you know what? I know Drake. This is going to last like a month and he's going to be fine. But it's cool to see him take an L because he had never taken an L. I don't feel the same certainty that everything will be the exact same, if not better, very quickly. I don't know if it's ever going to be quite the same. Yeah.
He'd still be great. Drake is a pop star. He's going to make money. He makes fucking great music. Even me as somebody who says I hate him, I never would deny that. But I do think largely the thing that he might have wanted, which is GOAT status, that might be out of reach now. We might look at that and be like, nah. You're one and two in battles. The other guy that we had you compared to...
Actually, there's two guys we had you compare it to, and one of them made one quit before it even started, and then he made us look at you differently forever. It is an interesting... You can look at it from both directions. You can look at it as a great lesson for... If you're following Drake's side, a great lesson, which is like, chase your art and create the projects you want to create, but creating for approval, if you will, like creating just to have the top spot...
will often put you in a place that is inauthentic and that might cause you, it costs you everything. Yeah. And then you can look at the exact same thing from Kendrick's side and you can go, oh, he said, I want the spot and he took it and he reaped all the, all the, the rewards for it.
It is a gamble. It's a huge fucking game. They could have subbed each other for the next 10 fucking years and it would have just been left up to the fans to decide. And they went at it and they had a boxing match.
And now it's not left up to the fans. Now it's left up to the history books. I do wonder if I'm projecting some of my own feelings on Kendrick. I think I, like, you know, I think about Indian American culture, what it is a lot. I think Kendrick feels that way about hip hop culture, black culture, and he wants it to go a certain way. And I think he, I think he didn't like the direction it was going with Drake at the helm. And he was like, we're ending that now. It's not even about the spot. It's about taking my culture in a direction I want to take it into. Okay.
So it looks like he's got a dance album or a dance project coming up. At least just house music, EDM music with Kinda Music. With who? Kinda Music. It's who he did the... Honestly Nevermind? Yeah, Honestly Nevermind with Rob. Kind Music? Kinda Music. How do you spell it? K-E-I-N-E-M-U-S-I-K. Is that different than Kind Music? Well, it looks like the same word, but Kinda means not in German.
Is that the same person that people were going to see Friday night? Correct. So they did, you know, that Drake video where you see him like at the club in like the South of France or somewhere with like Rampa and me and you out in port. Is that one of his considered classic albums? Honestly, nevermind. No, but it was cool that he does something like that. And he did it with like Gordo. It goes global though. Yeah.
He saw that this is what people are fucking with, and he did it. I like Drake. I truly didn't know. No, no. Because I know he's got classics. People say he's got multiple classics. I didn't know that was one of them. I'm surprised he's going that route because people didn't like it. But isn't that the isn't let's make the argument for why he would do it. If I do my rappity rap shit, all people are going to do is compare it to Kendrick right now. If I go in a different genre.
and I go to some other black music, they're going to call me the colonizer. They're going to say that I'm Li Chang or using these people for approval. Okay. True. If I go completely different direction, I dance music or house music, whatever, I'm immediately the coolest person in dance music. Like there's no one in dance music that is cooler than Drake. Um,
I mean, except for David Guetta. Shout out to his family. But like, he's immediately the coolest, right? Yeah. So let me go to the place where I'm most celebrated, not where I'm tolerated. Maybe get some hits going. Maybe win over the summer on some dance tracks. Yeah.
Now we're talking about that, and especially we're talking about amongst a group of people that don't really care as much about rap beef. If you're out in Mykonos partying, and you're some European motherfucker that don't even understand half the words that Kendrick said... You're just saying the N-word to speed or whatever? Exactly. Shout out Poland, bro. And it's like...
If you're doing that, he might be able to get some buzz, create still music, be cool amongst a group of people that don't really care as much about this beef. Yeah. This channel's wide open.
Like to your point, the channels, this channel is fine. And then if it works. And if the last project was subpar, it can only go up from here. Yeah, actually. And if it works, you at least maintain your buzz. You don't win this battle, but you maintain your buzz and you got people talking, you got people dancing and they're connecting the times they're going to have this summer where they're going to be mollied out. They're going to be coked out. They're going to be partying and listen to Drake and all those good vibes.
that you're feeling while you're listening to stuff. It's hard not to connect those two things. And now we go into the fall and yeah, we remember that fucking rough patch and all this weird shit. Also, you're doing songs in countries where the age limit is like 16. Like, they don't even know what a minor is. So they're not even making sense. Vata is a minor. Vata is a minor. I don't understand. Vata is a minor. Vata is 16th grade.
This is an unfair...
This is an unfair listen. This is an unfair listen. Why? Because it's Reigniting My Molly that's still in my head? That is the thing about this music, and I'm sure people who, like, you listen to it, you can hear the difference. All this shit sounds the same. It's that build-up, and then...
What they're pulling from right now, it's Afrobeats. And now they're mixing, these DJs mixing all of these Ethiopian or... All Afrobeats don't sound the same. I'm a piano. That wasn't Afrobeats. Or like South African music. Like all of that. I hear you, but that shit is like... It's kind of dope. I don't get how a DJ creates buzz doing that.
Welcome to being old, Doug. It's a different style of music. That's like white people back in the day going, yo, all rap sounds the same. Yeah, literally. This is what white people said about rap. Welcome, Doug. Welcome. What, do they just rap about guns and killing each other? Damn, bro, you go to the Hamptons one weekend. Come back like...
So I think it could be strategically, I think it's a smart move. I think you get away from the rappity rap shit right now. Because even if you are doing rap and you're trying to talk, what are you going to rap about when you're rapping on the rappity rap shit? I'm the best. I'm the nicest. I get all the bitches. I got all the money. And every reaction to that is going to be like, you second nicest. Yeah. You second nicest.
You know, yeah, maybe you get the bitches, but maybe future gets more bitches saying, hey, they might be young. They might be young. They might be your homies, bitches. We want to hear about love. We want to hear about embracing. We want to hear about sunshine. We want to hear about sandy beaches. Yeah.
I think it's a smart move. I'm curious if it was even a move or if it was just something in the pipeline that he has to go through. I had to be right. I wonder if he did this like four or five months ago. I would think Pivot. He's not a dumb guy. I think this is a Pivot. He's an incredibly savvy person. But what's he going to do this whole time? He's going to be cooking up an album? I don't know when this was recorded. That's the thing. What I'm saying is I think you're right. They've been working on this for a minute. Maybe they bumped it up, but you'd think you would want to hear it for summer. Yeah. Yeah.
But him just cooking up a whole album with this kind of music guy,
immediately during the beat just seems and I don't know if it's a whole album or if it's just like a specific song or a couple songs or something I don't think that shit takes that long to make nah you might be right these motherfuckers be putting together songs on the spot and them shit sound fine not like that was two months ago so he's had time he's had at least eight weeks to just cook shit up you let that shit run for the summer you're not gonna beat that when that shit comes on it is a vibe it's over yeah that shit is a vibe they got the remixes coming still probably
Yo, also, here's the thing that we need to discuss a little bit. If you're a DJ, I don't need you having no fucking loyalty to a record label or none. You won't fuck the night up with that shit. Stop it with it. If you're a DJ, you are a neutral party. Switzerland. Exactly. You got a loyalty to the audience. You have a loyalty to us. Yes. If you're a DJ associated with one label and you're only playing their shit at the party, it gets a little exhausting. Right.
We need you to be able to diversify. You got to play shit from the ops. You got to play shit from the people you're with. If that label hired them and they know where their biggest checks is coming to, hey, you do what you got to do. Don't fuck up your bag. Yo, part
Party planners, stop hiring DJs that have loyalty to just one record label because it's going to make the party worse. Objectively worse. DJ Mustard, he might be the best producer in the world right now. I wouldn't want to go to a party because he might be like, man, I can't play no fucking East Coast music or Drake or nothing. West Coast, a whole three hours. It's going to be a whole...
Otherwise, I'm going to look like a sellout. Are people going to make videos of me playing a Drake song? I don't want you to have to think about it. I want you unencumbered with these thoughts. The only person who could do it is Metro Boomin, the most talented musician on the planet. He's the only person that could play just his hits, and it would be worth it, in my opinion. He's got bangers. Yeah. You're not wrong. Have you heard Andrew Schultz go, yeah? Yeah. What did I do? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Kendrick Beef. It wasn't even that. It had nothing to even do with it. But it was so obvious that it was just one label that they're playing. And it was, you felt it, right? Yeah. I'm looking around, I'm going, what the fuck is going on? And Al said to me, he was like, nah, he got to play this. Look, he's part of them or something like that. And the next song, same three fucking artists. It's like when a comic has a political agenda.
It was like, oh, I know where you're going. Every joke is liberal or every joke is conservative. You're like, fucking eye roll. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, we should DJ. They should put us in charge. We was trying, bro. We were trying. You closed out the party. I didn't do it. I was showing the songs to y'all. I was showing the songs to y'all. I suggested one. He was like, I played that one already, but I'll play it again. That shit is disrespectful, though. I do feel bad doing that, but I feel worse listening to the same fucking songs on there. So I had to step in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was for the sake of the party. Yeah. And the music was too loud, too. So loud. So loud. I had to put my earplugs in. Oh, God. I was bugging out, dude. You can't. I don't want to have hearing damage just because I'm standing near a speaker. Did you really put your earplugs in? Yeah. So gay.
He took napkins and then he shoves them in his ears. He is right. I mean, my ears are ringing for hours when I go home. That was just that Brazilian girl screaming no. Well, that's your implosion, right? Your honor, I have napkins deep in my canal. Okay, listen, we got to do some Patadione. Come join us on Patreon. We'll tell you all about Dove's Brazilian night out. The actual night in, if you will. And we'll see you there. We love you all. Peace.
