2:22Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying? Yeah, Ryan was on Netflix. My man Yee 40.

2:24Speaker 2:Excuse that.

2:27Speaker 1:Yeah, oh my God. Yo, that picture?

2:29Speaker 2:That picture's real too, which is funny.

2:30Speaker 1:I was laughing so hard at that picture.

2:35Speaker 2:It was like when Amara grabbed my finger for the first time when she was born.

2:39Speaker 1:That was how Ryan was just born when he met E-40 that day.

2:44Speaker 2:His rebirth.

2:47Speaker 1:That was the sickest handshake yo peach how did you catch that bro that was his thistle rebirth shout out to.

2:53Speaker 2:The legend coming through man.

2:55Speaker 6:Another man's thumb when you he going for a handshake is crazy.

2:58Speaker 2:Yeah that's that's wild that's the bay shape we don't know that we're not that's.

3:01Speaker 1:The bay shake yeah that might be the bay shape yeah that would see we wouldn't be supposed to see that yeah we got it that was like an inside thing like okay got it.

3:09Speaker 5:But it was cool like i like watching ryan talk to e40 I think that type of shit is cool to like see people yeah and like that's a big.

3:18Speaker 4:Deal you know obviously he was you know a huge figure in the Bay in E40.

3:23Speaker 2:Yeah that was dope I think that type of shit is cool yeah I don't clown people for no no I don't like the term fanning out because it comes across weird but like Just meeting people that were really a big part of your childhood to me is cool.

3:33Speaker 1:Why do we do that? Why do we make fanning out like a bad thing?

3:36Speaker 2:Because he wasn't fanning out.

3:37Speaker 5:He was just happy to like, yo, I get to see somebody that was such a pivotal part of my childhood.

3:42Speaker 1:But what's wrong with fanning out?

3:44Speaker 2:I always say that.

3:45Speaker 1:It depends on who it is. I think if you're from the Bay and you finally meet E-40, I think that's okay to fan out. Yeah, I think your dad's favorite rapper, you grew up obviously listening to him in the house.

3:57Speaker 4:I think once you meet somebody like that, that is okay to fan out in that moment. I think we should stop making fanning out such a bad thing. I understand men can't do anything. We can't like anything. We can't show any emotions and any love to anybody.

4:11Speaker 3:Correct.

4:12Speaker 2:I get that.

4:13Speaker 4:But I think it's okay to fan out over certain things and people.

4:17Speaker 2:I've been saying that for 10 years and you guys clown me every time. that I do that.

4:22Speaker 1:Well, we're going to clown you no matter what.

4:24Speaker 5:I act like I've been there before, but I'm humble enough to be like, yo, this is a big deal for me to meet a certain person.

4:30Speaker 1:I think that, yeah.

4:31Speaker 2:You guys clown me for the Nas thing. I think it has to be an age gap.

4:34Speaker 3:Telling somebody they changed their life and fanning.

4:36Speaker 1:Out is completely different. Who told somebody they changed his life?

4:40Speaker 3:He told Nas he changed his life.

4:41Speaker 2:We were in the studio together though, so.

4:43Speaker 1:It was fine.

4:44Speaker 3:Weren't you in the studio next to him?

4:46Speaker 2:I was working with Terrace Martin next door. You know what?

4:49Speaker 3:So you weren't in the studio together.

4:51Speaker 1:No, no, no.

4:51Speaker 2:Fuck all this. If we're going to try to clown me, let me know. Let's pick up some names.

4:55Speaker 1:Let them have it.

4:55Speaker 5:I was at Chalice Studios working on my first album with Terrace Martin.

7:05Speaker 1:No, I didn't meet anybody that changed my life.

7:17Speaker 2:You saw Bill Burr.

7:20Speaker 2:Telepathically, he was like, yo, you changed my life.

7:23Speaker 1:Shout out to Sean, man. He's doing an incredible, incredible job. Damn, I forgot the name. What is it?

7:28Speaker 2:When you left. After you left.

7:31Speaker 4:After you left comedy show in L.A., Shout out to Sean Dickerson and his team. He has something really dope that he's building out there with that. I mean, with Sean, you know, Sean is going to carry the room.

7:44Speaker 2:We need it in New York.

7:45Speaker 1:Yeah, he's going to put the right people in the room. It's at the vinyl room at the Palladium, but the vinyl room inside the Palladium.

7:53Speaker 2:Incredible.

7:54Speaker 1:Incredible what Sean is doing. Bill Burr was hilarious.

7:57Speaker 4:The gentleman that went on before Bill Burr, I forgot his name. He was funny as hell, too. But they're doing something dope, man. So Sean has another Another vibe, another event that he's building in LA. That's, that's, that's incredible. The right people in the room, you know, pretty women, cool guys, no ID was there.

8:14Speaker 2:Changed my life.

8:15Speaker 3:Listen, man, your life so easily sway. God damn.

8:19Speaker 2:I'm saying Nas and no ID. I'm not Bill Burr. I'm sorry. Three icons.

8:30Speaker 2:Well, she changed my life for different reasons.

8:31Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.

8:32Speaker 2:She turned you into a man.

8:36Speaker 5:Not being a man before Last Lap existed is crazy.

8:40Speaker 4:Well, sometimes you don't know that there's more manhood in you.

8:44Speaker 1:There's more manhood to explore that's in you. But yeah, L.A.

8:48Speaker 2:Was dope. Explore that's in you.

8:49Speaker 1:Yeah. I saw James Davis is hosting. Shout out to James Davis. Okay. Funny comedian.

8:54Speaker 6:Yeah.

8:56Speaker 1:I saw Saha. Oh, word?

8:58Speaker 4:Yeah, shout out to Saha, man. Listen, man, y'all know how I feel about Saha, man. He didn't change my life.

9:04Speaker 2:Life changer. No, he didn't change my life, but I love Saha. No Dope on Sundays did something to you. But yeah, man, he said new album coming soon, man. I thought after he did the 7 Minute Good Music song and the two drops that we were doing a rollout. And you know Saha's my guy, and I'm a fan first. Yeah.

9:21Speaker 5:I'm disappointed as a fan. I thought we were getting an album after that rollout. It was a cool rollout. It brought a lot of attention for the right reasons. He was rapping.

9:31Speaker 2:Clearances? Samples?

9:33Speaker 1:He said new album soon. That's all.

9:36Speaker 4:As somebody who's really looking forward to that and who needs that type of rap, I can only hope that a new album from Saha is coming soon.

9:44Speaker 2:If he was in LA, that makes me think, yeah. Because I think Sy, at this point in his life, just like minds his business in Atlanta.

9:51Speaker 4:If he's in LA, then- No, he was definitely out there working on this project. um but he's been writing for a few for a few artists uh obviously i won't won't know no names but he's been busy his pen is his pen is moving around um i'll pull them on my you know i gotta pull up on my brother belly oh where how's belly doing he's great man he's.

10:11Speaker 1:Great you know he's married kid now so you know.

10:14Speaker 2:Yeah no his wife is very sweet yeah he's a he's a He's still belly, but you know, it's just a different, it's a different belly. He smokes outside now. That's what I've noticed with fathers. We just smoke outside.

10:28Speaker 4:We were in, we were like literally in the garage.

10:32Speaker 1:Like the garage is now his, like, that's your room.

10:35Speaker 5:That's what fatherhood is, is about. It's finding places for your vices that are not in the living room.

10:40Speaker 2:Yeah.

10:41Speaker 4:But shout out to my guy, belly may play some new music. He got a lot of things he's working on, man.

10:46Speaker 1:And, It's funny.

10:47Speaker 4:He mentioned something that was interesting. He was like, yo, listen, man, songs that I've written have well over 10 billion streams.

10:55Speaker 2:Yes.

10:56Speaker 1:Without question. He doesn't get called to write for anybody.

11:00Speaker 4:Now, he said why he thinks he doesn't get called.

11:03Speaker 1:I won't go into that. Oh, that's what I would love to go into. We won't go into that.

11:08Speaker 4:But it's just funny that an artist and a writer with a pen as incredible as Belly is not called to write for other artists as much as some of these other guys who don't.

11:20Speaker 2:Have records that have streamed as much as the records Belly has written. Yeah, the stuff him and Weeknd have done together is.

11:26Speaker 4:He wrote Blond and Lights just for... for context for context he wrote blinding lights the weekend you may have a little tune you.

11:32Speaker 5:May have heard of it when we were at his house that plaque was like the size of the wall just because it needed that amount for the ria certification and he.

11:40Speaker 4:Doesn't get called the right for anybody it's crazy man well you know he's doing well you.

11:44Speaker 3:Know is his price too high.

11:47Speaker 4:No that's not why he's not getting called um album 96 miles from bethlehem check it out when you ever get a chance i didn't.

11:53Speaker 5:Want to say it out loud but he took a stand and listen man We support him. I'm on the same side of the stance that he took. So yeah, I can see that part.

12:04Speaker 6:Yeah.

12:04Speaker 1:Shout out to Belly, man.

12:05Speaker 2:I can definitely see that part.

12:05Speaker 4:Incredible artist, but that's my brother. That's family, man. So I had to go see my guy.

12:10Speaker 2:Yo, Lamar was in full effect. Demarius, remember Lamar?

12:14Speaker 3:I love Lamar.

12:15Speaker 2:It's been a long time. Even like our last few LA shows, you weren't really in like Lamar fashion.

12:20Speaker 1:Yeah.

12:22Speaker 3:Cause we would go in like December. It would be, it wouldn't really be like.

12:25Speaker 1:In and out.

12:26Speaker 2:Yeah.

12:27Speaker 3:Summer Lamar.

12:29Speaker 1:But I wasn't really, I was with Sean. That's like, come on. That's fam.

12:33Speaker 6:You just name. 17 people you see.

12:37Speaker 1:Okay.

12:37Speaker 2:And Belly lives like an hour outside of LA.

12:39Speaker 1:That's family. Don't do that.

12:41Speaker 3:You starting to get like, Rory, that's family shit.

12:43Speaker 2:This can't keep us apart.

12:44Speaker 1:You know that. Come on, man. This doesn't keep family apart. You know that.

12:48Speaker 4:Saha, when I was checking in, he was checking out. We literally bumped into each other. Does that really count? Like, I didn't go hang out with Saha. Like, we literally was staying at the same hotel.

12:57Speaker 1:Okay.

12:58Speaker 2:So that was, that's like, it was just a happy accident.

13:00Speaker 1:Like, oh shit, my guy. You know what I'm saying?

13:02Speaker 3:Like, And then everybody else you ran into when you was at Sean's event.

13:06Speaker 2:Didn't you go to a wedding?

13:07Speaker 1:After you left, yes.

13:08Speaker 3:Did you meet anybody there?

13:10Speaker 1:No.

13:12Speaker 2:Love was in the air, though.

13:13Speaker 1:Yeah, love was in the air. I mean, it was a beautiful ceremony.

13:15Speaker 2:Did you dance with anyone? Cut up a rug?

13:19Speaker 4:No, it was more like everybody cut a rug. It wasn't really like a one-on-one like while Luther was playing. I didn't get into that.

13:24Speaker 2:Oh, okay. But, yeah, I mean, he was doing a little two-step.

13:26Speaker 1:Yeah, a little groove.

13:27Speaker 2:In the same circle as... A little mocktail. You had a little mocktail.

13:30Speaker 1:No, I had wine. Hey. I had wine.

13:33Speaker 4:Oh, I also went to- Little Cabernet. Shout out to Anderson Paak. His spot, Andy's.

13:39Speaker 2:Cool vibe.

13:40Speaker 1:Live music. Nice vibe.

13:42Speaker 2:You sound like me right now. This is crazy.

13:44Speaker 3:Mom is everywhere, bro.

13:45Speaker 1:No, no, no. Anderson, no. The Andy's spot, y'all would love that.

13:48Speaker 2:Well, you know my favorite restaurant is his on Ventura. I can never pronounce it. Sorry, Ryan. I don't want to butcher it. But it's a great Asian restaurant. Yeah.

13:57Speaker 1:No, Andy's though, that spot, it's a complete vibe in there.

14:00Speaker 2:Okay. Yeah. No, Anderson. Paak has the restaurant game one. That's his shit.

14:06Speaker 1:Yeah, no, that was a cool night. Live music.

14:09Speaker 2:Was he DJing?

14:10Speaker 1:No, he wasn't there, but it was still a vibe in there, though. We had a good time.

14:14Speaker 2:What's his DJ alter ego again?

14:15Speaker 1:DJ Pee Wee.

14:20Speaker 4:Yeah dj peewee was not he wasn't in there no he wasn't in it but he was other things he got peewee kirkland yeah.

14:24Speaker 6:That's one thing la i don't want to say la does better than new york because nobody does like the vibe better than new york but la with the like live music kind of restaurant you're in a restaurant but they have like.

14:36Speaker 3:The live music playing and like.

14:38Speaker 6:The aesthetics are really good like i think that well.

14:42Speaker 5:I think when new york we've had it before but the space kind of fucks with it. Cause even some of our best restaurants are a closet. So it's tough to get that vibe off.

14:53Speaker 6:Yeah.

14:53Speaker 5:Cause the bigger restaurants that could do it aren't, Tao's not going to do it. So yeah, you have to find, yeah, LA does that much better.

15:00Speaker 4:No, if you're in, if you're in LA, go to Andy's. Like it's like a seventies, eighties vibe in there. The aesthetics, live music. It's definitely worth, like if you want to go out and just, you know, you know, it's not really like, you don't want to really club.

15:14Speaker 1:But like, you want to go out and hear some music and, you know, people are there. It's a dance floor.

15:17Speaker 3:Old people's cut and people were.

15:20Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. No, it was a vibe. Like, I was in there like, I was just like, oh, shit. Like, okay, this is my type of shit.

15:27Speaker 6:You would go out if we had shit like that here.

15:30Speaker 1:100%.

15:30Speaker 5:I'd also, and forgive me, I forgot the name of it, that Sean ironically took me to as well.

15:35Speaker 2:I think it was off Crenshaw. It was like the jazz soul food restaurant that just opened with the live music. Yeah, you're right.

15:40Speaker 1:L.A.

15:41Speaker 2:Does have that shit and we just don't. We need more of that. Yeah.

15:44Speaker 4:But it was a great time though, man. Weather was great. It was a good time, man. Shout out to everybody in LA. Show some of my family and friends I ain't seen in a minute.

15:52Speaker 1:It was a good time.

15:53Speaker 2:You was in an Uber.

15:54Speaker 1:No, I was just, you know, catching up with people, man. You know what I mean? While I was there.

15:58Speaker 5:That sounds like you could have just told the Uber driver, like, what's your rate for the night?

16:03Speaker 1:Oh, no, I wasn't. It was never that.

16:05Speaker 2:You moving around that much, I might as well. No, all of this wasn't in one night.

16:08Speaker 1:Like, I'm the hell. No, this wasn't that. I got twisted. I ain't gonna lie. I went to Andy's.

16:12Speaker 3:Really? That's crazy.

16:14Speaker 1:Ma go out of town, get drunk with people that ain't us. No, listen, listen, because Trev was with me. Shout out to my boy Trev, Trevor Reza. We went out.

16:27Speaker 5:Anderson Paak's family, too. That's why you went to the restaurant.

16:30Speaker 1:I don't know Anderson. I've never met Anderson Paak in my life. But, no, so we got a bottle of red wine.

16:36Speaker 2:Fam. He was tore up.

16:38Speaker 1:Oh, my God. I might have slept for 13 hours, bro. We went through a whole bottle.

16:44Speaker 2:Whoa, a red wine? Me and Damaris could do that in 10 minutes.

16:48Speaker 1:Nah, I ain't gonna lie.

17:38Speaker 1:It oh 100 oh no i saw them doing it okay that's why i'm like i'm like that's the thing no no they were definitely.

17:43Speaker 2:Doing it not a dj peewee spot yeah they would they.

17:46Speaker 4:Would definitely doing it but no i was red wine and you know Thank you, Nick, for getting me.

17:52Speaker 1:Back to my hotel safely because I was twisted.

17:54Speaker 2:I would have loved to see that.

17:56Speaker 3:I've never seen Maul drunk.

17:58Speaker 2:I was just sleeping. I was just sleeping in the car.

18:00Speaker 1:Your mouth was open? Probably. I was asleep. I was done.

18:04Speaker 4:Woke up, my sneakers was inside my jeans. You know when you get undressed like that? Shit right there on the floor.

18:10Speaker 5:I know that feeling. Somehow your drawers made it down there too.

18:14Speaker 1:I shook my jeans out, sneakers hit the window. I was like, oh shit. I was like, yeah, man.

18:19Speaker 2:That was a drug. When you're trying to pack, like, where is my, oh, it's in my pants.

18:22Speaker 1:It's in my pants. I was like, all right, man, whatever, man. But, you know, it was worth it, man. I had a good time.

18:26Speaker 3:I know you had a headache when you woke up.

18:27Speaker 1:You ain't used to that. No, it wasn't that bad, though. Like, it definitely was.

18:31Speaker 4:You feel like you were in that, you know, that cloud where you like, everything's moving slow. But that wasn't a headache, though. It was just more like, I need to drink water all day.

18:37Speaker 1:It was that type of feeling.

18:38Speaker 2:Red wine hangovers do suck, though. So that is good. Yeah.

18:41Speaker 6:Anytime I've ever blacked out, it was from drinking a whole bottle of red wine. I used to drink red wine when I was doing my homework in school. And I would blackout after a bottle of red wine.

18:50Speaker 2:Blackout? Blackout.

18:52Speaker 3:I wouldn't remember. I wouldn't like, I wouldn't remember. I just wouldn't remember the night.

18:56Speaker 2:Okay.

18:56Speaker 3:Like I wouldn't remember. And I would just wake up like, what the fuck happened? Yeah. That's why I stopped drinking red wine.

19:02Speaker 1:All right. Well, glad you got off that horse, baby D. Glad you turned your life around.

19:10Speaker 2:At the, I mean, even at like my peak, alcoholic stages i don't know if i ever blacked out like there'd be parts of the night i'd be like oh you had to remind me about that but like black i don't think i've ever blacked out like literally black i.

19:24Speaker 4:Don't you don't remember yeah i don't know what that's all when people say that i'll be like i've been drunk before but i remembered what happened last night i need nobody to tell me like i don't need no reminders i know exactly what happened I may not have been able to react in the moment as fast as I wanted.

19:39Speaker 1:To, but I remember what happened.

19:40Speaker 4:Ain't nobody going to be like, yo, they came in and they, nobody came in here, finish stop lying give me my money nigga i'm crying give me my money finish stop playing with me nobody came in last night.

19:51Speaker 6:Nah i literally i've you know i've been toe up toe up from the flow up off liquor i'll remember everything but when i used to drink like red wine and drink it in excess that's the only time i'll be like i don't remember what happened I stopped when somebody, somebody I was intimate with told me that we were intimate that night.

20:07Speaker 3:And I was like, we, what?

20:09Speaker 2:I did not remember.

20:09Speaker 3:I didn't remember anything.

20:11Speaker 2:It was consensual.

20:12Speaker 3:I was safe.

20:13Speaker 2:It was consensual.

20:14Speaker 3:Somebody had slept with before, but I did not.

20:16Speaker 1:I didn't remember.

20:17Speaker 3:I did not remember that. And I was like, Oh, I will never do that again.

20:20Speaker 1:Hopefully that guy's off the streets.

20:23Speaker 6:But when somebody's blacked out they're not passed out that's the difference so when I say blackout it's not I'm passed out like sleep I'm up and moving around and I just don't remember I don't remember what.

20:34Speaker 3:The fuck happened that's different not passed out drunk blackout.

20:37Speaker 4:Drunk I thought blackout means like passed out that's what I thought too maybe people got different definitions I.

20:43Speaker 3:Just think when you can't remember anything your.

20:46Speaker 5:Brain is actively moving you talking but you don't know what's going on you just don't remember the next day That's more dangerous than being passed out.

20:53Speaker 3:For sure.

20:55Speaker 2:Jesus.

20:56Speaker 1:And homie still came in and climbed on top of you?

20:59Speaker 3:I looked like a normal person. I was operating normally.

21:05Speaker 4:Means a person is awake, conscious, and moving around, but their brain is not forming new memories.

21:09Speaker 1:Your brain not forming new memories.

21:11Speaker 2:It's hilarious.

21:13Speaker 4:Yo, your brain stopped forming new memories. That explains a lot. A lot of these niggas is out here blacked out.

21:20Speaker 1:They just drunk.

21:21Speaker 2:They don't... Because a lot of these niggas' brains ain't forming new memories at all.

21:25Speaker 5:What's the Jim Carrey movie? Spotless Mind of whatever. Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind. That's just a romantic blackout.

21:34Speaker 1:Yeah.

21:34Speaker 2:That's really all he was... He just wanted to be blacked out.

21:36Speaker 1:And what's the one with Adam Sandler? 50 Blonde Dates?

21:39Speaker 2:50 first dates.

21:41Speaker 6:No he had like real like did he have like mental issues or something.

21:45Speaker 2:No she got in a car accident oh yeah that's like her frontal lobe of memory reset every day yeah.

21:50Speaker 1:So that's kind of what blackout drunk is your frontal lobe is like.

21:53Speaker 2:She blacked out after the car crash and then just kept blacking.

21:55Speaker 4:Well she crashed because she was blacked out drunk that could be it and then her frontal lobe was damaged forever.

22:03Speaker 3:More really did miss you Huh? I really did miss you.

22:06Speaker 1:I appreciate that, baby. I like to be with you.

22:08Speaker 3:You don't take many days off. So like when you gone, it's like weird.

22:11Speaker 1:Well, no, I'm the Cal Ripken of podcasting. I don't take no days off. I'm the iron horse.

22:15Speaker 2:It took a stroke for me. Like, come on.

22:18Speaker 1:Come on.

22:18Speaker 4:They don't give you enough credit for that. That got to get us up to.

22:21Speaker 3:LA working on that album.

22:23Speaker 2:He's cat. That don't get us up to slot. Jordan's been on the Dreamville tour. I don't think we're making the list next year. I saw Jordan.

22:29Speaker 1:Shout out to Jordan. He was with Jordan. Okay. He's with Yomi. Shout out to Jordan. I fuck with Jordan.

22:33Speaker 5:Um, But no, that was really it. I've taken like a few days, maybe a mix of album.

22:39Speaker 2:But yeah, it takes a stroke. And you guys wouldn't let me back.

22:42Speaker 1:Well, you know, you was trying to come right back while you were still- You.

22:44Speaker 2:And Kia wouldn't let me fucking pop.

22:46Speaker 1:You were still drooling and shit. I was like, it doesn't make no sense for him to come back.

22:49Speaker 2:Yo, but it's good for content.

22:50Speaker 1:No, actually. Yeah, but you don't need to be drooling on camera.

22:53Speaker 6:We asking nigga questions. He answered like five minutes later. Like, boy, we've been asked that. We answer the next topic.

22:58Speaker 1:Your front two load was all over the place.

22:59Speaker 2:Like- That's not even when I was doing physical therapy in the hospital, I was hitting the Dougie just to prove that I could walk every day. Do you know why you're here?

23:08Speaker 1:Bitch? Yes.

23:09Speaker 3:Stop.

23:11Speaker 2:I'm not deaf. Do you know what day it is?

23:15Speaker 1:Yes.

23:16Speaker 2:Shut the fuck up. I don't know what day it is. Stroke or not.

23:19Speaker 4:Me and Roy was on the phone last night. We didn't know that it was Wednesday. We was both like, what's today? Because, you know, we don't record. We just, days are just days at that point.

23:26Speaker 2:We don't usually have Wednesday off. So I was confused what day it was.

23:29Speaker 1:Because I was at home. I was like, no, it's today's Wednesday. Whatever.

23:32Speaker 5:So yesterday, Amara's in between. She starts school next Tuesday. Like school for the first time. It's technically 3K.

23:39Speaker 1:Okay.

23:40Speaker 2:But she's going to like school.

23:43Speaker 1:What's 3K? Right before kindergarten?

23:45Speaker 2:Yeah. What we used to call like pre-K is now 3K.

23:48Speaker 1:Got it.

23:48Speaker 2:So she goes to like school for real. Yeah. Like I don't have to pay for it.

23:51Speaker 1:Right.

23:52Speaker 3:No, pre-K is the fourth when you're four.

23:54Speaker 2:Well, it's three and four-year-olds in her class. It's 3K and I don't know. They mix and match. Shout out to Mondami. I don't know. But she goes to school for real next Tuesday.

24:04Speaker 5:So I ended her $ 3, 000 a month daycare at the end of August.

24:10Speaker 2:So now I just have her for this week like rogue. She's just running around. So we're in the house yesterday. Finally, I get her, like she has this easel where she likes to paint and she's great at art. So I was like, all right, cool. It's four o'clock.

24:26Speaker 1:I haven't eaten.

24:26Speaker 5:Now I could just like go cook myself some food. She's preoccupied.

24:31Speaker 1:She's the new piece she's working on.

24:35Speaker 5:I know all the paints I got her. I know the color pencils I got her. I know the crayons I got her. I know how I organized it. I put them all there. Somehow she ignored all those and found a blue Sharpie, the big one.

24:47Speaker 1:Nice.

24:50Speaker 2:Colored her whole face, her mouth, all of the walls in her room, the trampoline in her room, her legs, her arms. She looked like the Blue Man Group. In a Sharpie, Mo.

25:01Speaker 5:Not a magic erase, a Sharpie. She still looks like she just came out of a frozen lake.

25:07Speaker 1:She's a Smurf. She's a Smurf fan. I get it.

25:10Speaker 3:Because I know when you were scrubbing the Sharpie off, it just made her more blue. Made her more blue.

25:14Speaker 5:I took her immediately to the shower. And I thought it was a magic marker. I had to go back in the room. And that's when I saw the walls were completely covered. That it was a big ass Sharpie marker on the ground.

25:27Speaker 1:Listen, man.

25:27Speaker 2:I can't wait for school to start.

25:28Speaker 1:Yeah, but don't, you know, just push her into her, whatever. I do. She seems passionate about.

25:33Speaker 5:No, I let her color with markers and crayons, even in some places in my living room. I don't care if she colors on the wall. Just not with a fucking marker. autograph style, blue Sharpie, the way Michael Jordan signs things. No, I don't need that on my entire house or on her lips for that.

26:50Speaker 1:Who knows? Iceman becomes Drake's.

26:51Speaker 2:That was a Lamar transition.

26:53Speaker 1:Longest running number one album. 13 weeks at number one. Congrats.

26:57Speaker 2:Y'all don't got to clap. Fuck y'all.

26:58Speaker 3:Mind you, everybody in the room clapped.

27:01Speaker 2:I love that one. That's the longest running number one album ever?

27:04Speaker 1:No.

27:05Speaker 3:His.

27:05Speaker 1:Drake's. Oh, okay.

27:08Speaker 2:Correct.

27:08Speaker 1:13 weeks at number one. I'm going to say this now. We will never see a rapper do this again. You never know.

27:13Speaker 4:There will never be another rapper that will do this.

27:15Speaker 1:Not the way rap is streamed. No. No.

27:18Speaker 4:It won't happen so just this is history no rapper is going to drop an album that is going to be 13 weeks at number one in this streaming era it will not happen again.

27:28Speaker 5:Well it's i while we're recording this it's 203 eastern time on september 3rd i think jay-z is three minutes into his album that's about to do it so i don't even know 13 weeks no it's his 14th album yeah but it still won't be 13 weeks it'll be 14.

27:42Speaker 1:No Impossible.

27:44Speaker 2:No, I don't think Jay-Z would do that.

27:46Speaker 6:Oh, so it's on top rap albums chart.

27:48Speaker 3:On the top rap album. And then Iceman was top R & B, hip-hop.

27:52Speaker 1:Okay.

27:53Speaker 2:GNX was number one for 22 weeks.

27:58Speaker 1:That was a top rap album chart. This is top.

28:00Speaker 6:Oh, top.

28:01Speaker 2:And Billboard got you.

28:01Speaker 3:This is top R & B and hip-hop.

28:03Speaker 2:I don't even know why. See, this is why I don't like Ryan even pulling up. Why are we even... doing comparisons right now.

28:10Speaker 6:Well, he didn't pull up the comparisons. I think he just put up longest rap out of that number one and they told you.

28:15Speaker 2:All right. Well, congrats to everyone that streams well.

28:25Speaker 1:Yo, but y'all, listen, that's not easy to do.

28:27Speaker 4:This streaming era, I think every rapper's going to have to go back to releasing, like, first of all, independent. And then just releasing their albums the way Rock Marcy does. Like, just literally your website. If you want my album, go to my website because.

28:43Speaker 2:That's tougher to stream number one that way. It's more lucrative.

28:48Speaker 1:Forget streaming number one.

28:49Speaker 4:I'm just talking about being able to see some type of, like you said, residuals off of your work. Because rappers can't... They just can't stream well no more.

28:59Speaker 1:And it's just rap.

29:00Speaker 4:I'm not talking about R & B. I'm pretty sure R & B artists are still doing okay for the most part.

29:04Speaker 1:It depends. But rappers. This streaming error, I think the streaming error killed rap. Because rappers just don't stream well anymore.

29:16Speaker 4:We just saw Game drop. He did 15K?

29:20Speaker 1:Something like that?

29:21Speaker 2:Yeah, but I mean, Game is legacy.

29:24Speaker 1:As a legacy act, you should stream more than 15K.

29:26Speaker 2:Even bigger legacy acts than Game don't. Don't stream very well.

29:31Speaker 1:Rackers don't stream well.

29:31Speaker 2:I think the content world killed music more than anything. I don't mean that in a bad way. I just think consumers have other things that they focus on before they focus on music. because streaming got rap to be the number one genre so i don't think streaming killed rap rap was not the number one genre until streaming happened then it was about that.

29:52Speaker 1:I don't know.

29:52Speaker 5:In the streets it was, not by numbers, but yes. By influence, rap has been the number one genre since the 90s.

29:59Speaker 1:Well, that's what I'm saying.

30:00Speaker 5:But when you come to a numbers game, rap was not the number one genre until streaming happened. So I don't think streaming killed rap. I think content killed rap because myself included. Sometimes music isn't the first thing I go to when I get in my car.

30:15Speaker 2:It's content. It's people talking. It's a bunch of other shit.

30:19Speaker 1:Well, it's like that. It's like that because.

30:21Speaker 5:In my crib, sometimes I have so much access to so many movies, so much other shit. When I'm cleaning my crib, sometimes I throw on a movie in the background.

30:26Speaker 6:But I feel like that's kind of a... That's a small worldview because you're not the only person with access to content. Country music is still going number one and they have access to content, too. They spend just as much time on their phones as we do.

30:37Speaker 2:We're talking about I'm talking specifically.

30:39Speaker 3:But you're saying why rap isn't number one anymore.

30:41Speaker 6:That would mean that if you're not going to rap, that would mean that other people who also have access to content are not going to their genres either.

30:48Speaker 3:I don't think that it's.

30:49Speaker 5:Well, I mean, a genre has to be number one, like. There has to be a number one genre no matter what. But I think music in general has taken a hit.

30:56Speaker 6:I don't think that the good music is being pushed to the forefront. And I think a lot of hip hop, it has to do with culture.

31:01Speaker 3:And that's a different conversation.

31:04Speaker 2:And music stinks. Yeah, music stinks.

31:07Speaker 6:But the good music is not being pushed to the forefront because we're not highlighting the good music because it doesn't give anybody anything to talk about.

31:16Speaker 2:That makes sense.

31:17Speaker 3:Gimmicks are working now.

31:18Speaker 2:That could get clipped. So I want to make it clear too. Yes, there's amazing music.

31:22Speaker 5:We said last year was one of the best years in rap when it came to more of the niche. I don't want to say underground, but more of the niche, non-mainstream type of rap. There's amazing music out there. We talk about Don Toliver's album constantly. Iceman is incredible. It's one of my favorite Drake albums in the last 10 years. But if we're going in the masses by percentage, yeah, music kind of stinks.

31:46Speaker 1:There's no kind of. It does.

31:48Speaker 3:Yeah.

31:49Speaker 1:It's a lot of bullshit music out there.

31:50Speaker 2:Great music.

31:51Speaker 5:And I don't want to be the one that highlights bad music. But yeah, if we're talking Billboard compared to country right now, it's not the greatest.

32:00Speaker 3:And we have a higher standard for this is probably going to get clipped. I don't care.

32:05Speaker 6:We have a higher standard for R & B and hip hop to be considered great than pop and country artists do. They're listening to a lot of watered down versions of, a lot of watered down simple versions of their genre will hit number one. We require a little bit more to say that something is great. Their shit is really simple. Country music is simple?

32:29Speaker 1:No.

32:30Speaker 6:What I'm saying is the country music that goes number one a lot, the pop music that goes number one a lot is very simple. They're very loyal to their genre. Sometimes things are very simple. The simplest shit with us doesn't always go number one.

32:44Speaker 5:I would argue that country music now is more pop fans than it is country fans. Kind of back to our argument of, hey, you know those people got internet. That's not what I was getting at. But I think a lot of the country fans are fickle pop fans. And country music, by definition, is catchy. It's an easy listen. And I think the country music that's being made right now leans more pop than it does country. Just cause you say my truck in it doesn't mean it's not a pop record. It's, it's very poppy. And I think, yeah, the pop fans, which are every day going to work music fans.

33:27Speaker 1:Yeah.

33:28Speaker 2:They're leaning in country cause it's easy to easily digestible.

33:31Speaker 1:Yeah.

33:31Speaker 3:And they like that music.

33:33Speaker 5:And at one point in the last 10 years, I mean this not in a bad way. Rap was very digestible with our hit records.

33:42Speaker 1:Yes.

33:43Speaker 2:I don't think it is anymore. Like, I don't even know what the fuck it is. No. It's not good or digestible.

33:49Speaker 1:No, it's not.

33:50Speaker 6:That's why when you say that Drake, when we had the conversation that Drake is a pop star, it's because he also makes not all of his music, but he also makes the type of rap songs that my mother could sing and my white aunt can sing, like, which is the Nelly formula. And that's why hip hop was number one at that time.

34:07Speaker 2:And I know what you mean. And I don't care if they clip it up. Drake makes easily digestible music. That's not a diss. That's a compliment.

34:14Speaker 1:Exactly.

34:14Speaker 6:And that's why you're able to get that big because you have a wider, like Maul said before, you cast a wider net. So it becomes pop music, which is easier to make go number one because it's more people can get into it. But I think that's what I was trying to get to with you. I know that people have different different genres, have different ethnic groups and all of that stuff or the different average customer.

34:35Speaker 3:But everybody has access to content. I think it's just a little bit more nuanced than that. But we can move on.

34:40Speaker 2:But yeah, that's not exactly what I meant.

34:42Speaker 1:It is cool.

34:42Speaker 2:Yeah.

34:43Speaker 1:No, you said what you said. You such an instigator. Look at you.

34:48Speaker 3:Yeah.

34:48Speaker 1:Don't try to clean it up. You said what you said. Stand on it.

34:51Speaker 5:No, I stand on what I said, not how she interpreted it. see that you see the difference between that no i was not i was not saying i was not saying that country fans don't have the internet well maybe it sounded like that's how.

35:05Speaker 1:I interpreted it i thought you were saying all country no you followed up and cleaned up he was like no he.

35:11Speaker 6:Was like hip-hop fans they listen to podcasts streaming and i'm over there like them niggas got podcasts and streaming i think i.

35:17Speaker 1:Know that like i think he also said hip-hop fans have adhd because of yeah that's what Like the lack of like resources.

35:23Speaker 6:In the black community.

35:27Speaker 1:The lack of resources in the black community.

35:29Speaker 4:I think he's the reason why he said the streaming numbers are in rap are what they are today.

35:34Speaker 2:That's how I interpret it. Actually, nice try. I do agree that there needs to be more resources in certain communities with ADHD. I think they are neglected.

35:45Speaker 1:Specifically in the hip-hop communities.

35:46Speaker 2:I didn't say hip-hop. I just said in certain... You know, urban. Ooh!

35:51Speaker 1:Oh, there's a word.

35:52Speaker 6:Why do you say urban if you're like.

35:55Speaker 2:Yeah, that's in French. That's all that is. yeah man somebody that's worked at major labels and in advertising oh man that's exactly what Urban is oh my god they love it without fucking question.

36:13Speaker 4:Urban Pusha T teases a new solo music new solo music with Pharrell and Eclipse um that's interesting to hear new Pharrell and new Eclipse music.

36:24Speaker 2:Yeah tour's over they said that they're they're right back working again Push has a solo project on their own breakfast club like they're still working.

36:34Speaker 1:You excited? Are you? For new clips for real? Yeah, I want to hear that.

36:38Speaker 3:I want to hear it for sure.

36:40Speaker 1:You know why I like albums like this?

36:42Speaker 4:Because obviously these are guys that worked together since the beginning of their careers.

36:49Speaker 2:And from birth.

36:51Speaker 6:Right.

36:51Speaker 4:So to hear where they're at now and what they're able to create now, I want to hear it. I wonder if they were able to still get in the studio and create.

36:59Speaker 1:That, you know. Mm-hmm. that energy and that, that music that, that we know and that we love.

37:06Speaker 2:Yeah. I'm going to say, I'm going to sound a little, but the whole album didn't do the whole album.

37:09Speaker 1:Did he? No.

37:11Speaker 2:The clips album. Yes, he did.

37:13Speaker 1:He did the whole album.

37:15Speaker 2:Who else produced that? Tell me what beat is not a Pharrell beat.

37:18Speaker 1:Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, I didn't know that.

37:20Speaker 2:I mean, they said a good way. That was the most obvious Pharrell production.

37:24Speaker 1:Yeah. I didn't know he did the whole album though.

37:27Speaker 6:Um, I think, was Pusha T saying that he's doing an album with Pharrell?

37:34Speaker 2:He said the clips, they're working again. But he said he has a solo project with Pharrell.

37:39Speaker 3:That makes sense.

37:42Speaker 1:Executive producer. See, that's different.

37:45Speaker 5:Of course, there was probably other musicians and other producers. That's a Pharrell album. He's one of my favorite producers.

37:51Speaker 2:I don't mean that in a bad way. I don't know if I want Pusha T.

37:57Speaker 1:To.

37:59Speaker 5:Pharrell's solo after, hear me out. Daytona with just Kanye, classic to me. It's Almost Dry was a mix 50-50 between Pharrell and Kanye. Amazing concept for Pusha T. We got the Eclipse album after that, which was all Pharrell. I'm kind of interested in hearing Pusha T work with some producers that maybe he's been listening to outside of his internal camp. His internal camp is the greatest camp that's ever existed. But with Push, I know Push is also a music nerd and listens to everything. I'm sure there's plenty of young producers. And let me not even say young. I don't want to put it on like, why is the old guy not working with the young guys?

38:46Speaker 5:Just in general, whether it be A-list producers he hasn't worked with before, mid-tier, young kids, anything that Pharrell, I'm sorry, Pusha has been listening to. why doesn't he just do that album? I have the last two and a half projects have been Pharrell. Obviously the clips comes from Pharrell. The last three solo joints from Push have been Kanye. I've kind of heard you with the same guys for the last decade. And Push is one of my favorite rappers, top tier rapper. I'd like to hear you on some different sounds.

39:26Speaker 1:I mean, I can understand.

39:27Speaker 3:I hear you.

39:28Speaker 1:I agree.

39:28Speaker 5:If I was him, I could understand. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm never going to complain about Pusha T and Pharrell. From everything that I've heard from the early 2000s to now, who would complain about that? I'm just saying I've heard so much of that. Yeah, I'd like to hear, and not to say Push on some of his solo joints wasn't working with other people outside of Ye and Pharrell, but they've oversaw everything for the most part.

39:56Speaker 2:I'd like to hear what Push would do with Knots. With Tim, even Virginia producers. I would just like to hear that. I'd like to know what Push and Just sound like. I would like to know what Metro and Push sound like, even though I'm sure he's probably rapped on a Metro beat before, but I don't know.

40:13Speaker 5:I just think That allure pushes too dope to have to stay in that.

40:19Speaker 1:Yeah.

40:20Speaker 2:As a fan, just as a fan.

40:22Speaker 3:Which is fair.

40:24Speaker 1:I get it. I understand.

40:26Speaker 4:But I'm with you on that. I would like to hear him challenge himself to different sounds.

40:30Speaker 1:Yeah. Different music.

40:32Speaker 2:It doesn't always have to be that. And he worked with arguably my two favorite producers, period. Kanye and Pharrell.

40:39Speaker 1:I would also like to see Pharrell work with some new younger artists. I mean, he does.

40:44Speaker 2:Rap. Well, what's young now?

40:51Speaker 3:20.

40:52Speaker 1:Oh, yeah. Okay. Same.

40:55Speaker 3:You said artists? 20-year-old artists?

40:57Speaker 1:Yeah, rappers.

40:58Speaker 3:You know any 20-year-old rappers?

41:00Speaker 1:Yeah. Who? Trim. Trim. Well, listen, yes.

41:08Speaker 4:If Pharrell wants to work with Trim, I'm not going to try to impede that young artist.

41:13Speaker 2:You don't want to hear him with Nicki first?

41:21Speaker 1:Yes, I would love to hear it.

41:22Speaker 2:No, let's bypass Nicky. Let's bypass the GOAT.

41:25Speaker 1:And go right to, yeah, I know. Crazy, crazy times.

41:30Speaker 6:Yo, Ryan over here looking up his high school classmates talking about some rappers who are 20.

41:37Speaker 1:Yeah, but, you know, that's why the genre's hurting, though.

41:43Speaker 5:Pharrell and Cash Cobain would be great. Pharrell and Lucky would be fire. I fuck with Lucky heavy.

41:50Speaker 3:Yeah.

41:51Speaker 2:Yachty is like Yachty's not young to me anymore.

41:55Speaker 1:No he's been in the game too long yeah he's not a young artist.

41:58Speaker 5:Cause him like Pharrell even doing the Quavo album now it's like dude not young you're young for the earth but.

42:05Speaker 3:For rap it's like football.

42:09Speaker 2:Yeah like Quavo's an OG at this point like yeah I mean but that's to me that's part of the problem with the genre it's not it's not enough.

42:18Speaker 1:Of the younger rappers that are making that type of music.

42:21Speaker 4:So, you know what I mean? Where it's like, I think that's why the genre's hurting. Like we need young, new artists working with some of the legendary producers that we have in rap.

42:35Speaker 5:I mean, I do know for a fact, even if it doesn't come out per se, Pharrell has never been that type of elder statesman.

42:44Speaker 2:Like he works with young artists, whether it comes out or not.

42:47Speaker 1:Rap?

42:47Speaker 2:Yes.

42:48Speaker 1:Ooh.

42:50Speaker 2:I mean, it didn't come out, but he actively tries to work with young people.

42:54Speaker 1:Pharrell has worked with a young rapper and it didn't come out? I don't see that happening.

42:58Speaker 2:Okay.

42:58Speaker 1:I think that's a priority. That song is coming out. Okay. Now, if you have information, I don't.

43:04Speaker 2:I do, and I'm just not going to, because that's fucked up to say, but.

43:08Speaker 1:Okay, but why do you think the music didn't come out?

43:11Speaker 2:I have zero clue.

43:12Speaker 1:Okay.

43:13Speaker 2:Zero, zero clue. But, yeah, Pharrell actively works with with young artists yeah i just don't know if he blocks it if there's i don't know what happens but yeah it definitely happens okay.

43:28Speaker 4:So i finally saw odyssey okay finally got a chance to check it out while i was in la and call.

43:33Speaker 1:Some early tickets i've been waiting for this.

43:37Speaker 4:Great movie but the movie snob that i am there's certain things i noticed that i was just like.

43:45Speaker 3:Like what?

43:46Speaker 4:It was almost like when they said that somebody in the Tupac movie had an iPhone.

43:50Speaker 2:Okay. Yeah. TLC movie. That's a rock.

43:53Speaker 1:Yeah.

43:55Speaker 4:Why was he calling Odysseus his dad? They weren't saying dad in those times. It was father.

44:03Speaker 2:You're neat. That's so not even a snob cares about that. That's nitpicky.

44:08Speaker 3:But I hear you.

44:09Speaker 1:That wasn't crazy. Like he was like, you're my dad. I was like. They didn't catch this? Nobody said dad.

44:17Speaker 4:That's like American, like Western civilization word.

44:22Speaker 2:They also didn't speak English, so throw the whole movie away. No, but they still, it was whatever they spoke.

44:28Speaker 1:But dad? There was no English. In the movie Troy, we never heard dad. There was no English at that time either. I'm just saying, dad though.

44:36Speaker 6:I hear you, mom.

44:36Speaker 1:Tom Holland discussed that in the interview.

44:40Speaker 2:But, like, where do you draw the line if English didn't exist at that time to begin with?

44:43Speaker 6:That's completely different because you could just say to me, it's dubbed, whatever. Like, that's completely different. But dad is kind of wild.

44:48Speaker 1:It was father.

44:49Speaker 6:Because almost nothing we read, it's a reinterpretation. Like, almost nothing will be in English. It's for an English audience, so it's in English. And then Odysseus, he cursed.

44:57Speaker 1:He said, fuck.

44:58Speaker 6:I was like.

45:03Speaker 1:Fuck didn't exist.

45:04Speaker 3:How do you know fuck didn't exist?

45:06Speaker 2:Back then?

45:07Speaker 4:No, fuck did not exist. When did fuck come out? Somebody find out when fuck came out. Fuck wasn't out in.

45:14Speaker 2:I'm sure it's a translation from another language that's old.

45:20Speaker 4:Oh, maybe it was the word fuck was first recorded in writing in 1310 in the English court roll.

45:26Speaker 2:Who was the first person to say fuck? They said things differently.

45:32Speaker 1:Roger fucketh... What was his name? Fuck Bithenavell? What?

45:37Speaker 2:Roger fucketh Ithabel.

45:40Speaker 1:Roger....

45:42Speaker 4:So did he say it or was that his name? If that's his name, that don't count.

45:46Speaker 2:They named it after Roger.

45:47Speaker 1:The word fuck was named after Roger fuck Bithenavell? Yeah.

45:51Speaker 2:He was being a fuckhead that day and was like, here comes fucking Roger. Here comes fucking Roger... That is crazy.

46:00Speaker 6:You know what's so funny is I went, I know we shouldn't be using ChatGPT, but I asked ChatGPT, I said, Marla's mad the Odyssey's movie used the word dad and fuck saying those words didn't exist in those times. And he said, Marla's technically right in the least useful way possible because the actual English words dad and fuck didn't exist until 1533 and 1500s. And then it said right after, but they also didn't speak English.

46:22Speaker 2:That's my whole thing though. Like, they didn't speak English.

46:25Speaker 1:Alright, so we both right.

46:26Speaker 2:Fuck it. Yeah.

46:27Speaker 6:But i'm just saying even father as an english word wouldn't be historically accurate the greek word dad the greek word is related to pot here so that's also true like it wouldn't have even been father would have been inaccurate too because they don't speak english so i think you're used to saying see they would say father in older movies in those times right you're used to hearing that but they're like in greek it doesn't matter because and.

46:50Speaker 1:That was definitely the first time i heard fuck in any movie like that i think In 300, I don't think I heard fuck one time. And they had every reason to say fuck back then. Yeah.

46:59Speaker 2:In Gladiator, he could have said fuck a lot. A lot. When the tiger first came out, I would have been like, fuck.

47:04Speaker 1:Like, yeah. Like, fuck?

47:07Speaker 2:I was a king at one point.

47:08Speaker 1:Yeah.

47:09Speaker 2:Fucking general over here.

47:11Speaker 1:Right. Other than that, though, great movie. The Cyclops scene in the cave, that was crazy.

47:17Speaker 6:Yeah.

47:17Speaker 1:Being able to see that like that.

47:19Speaker 2:Yeah. Great.

47:21Speaker 1:It was a great movie. I enjoyed it. I really did.

47:23Speaker 2:So, you know, I've been waiting.

47:24Speaker 4:Dune 3 looks crazy, though. Another Christopher Nolan movie. Dune 3 looks fucking insane.

47:28Speaker 3:I've been waiting to bring this up.

47:31Speaker 1:Huh? I've been waiting. That is Nolan. Dune 3? It's definitely Nolan.

47:37Speaker 2:Where's Christopher Nolan now? Oh, wow. Okay.

47:42Speaker 1:That's not a Nolan? Oh, shit. My bad. I thought that was Christopher Nolan.

47:45Speaker 2:Either way, where is Christopher Nolan now ranked?

47:48Speaker 5:Oh, no.

47:49Speaker 3:He's... he hired a Scorsese it's just.

47:54Speaker 5:It's so drastically different but I mean they are both it's different goats like if.

47:59Speaker 1:They're in the same room they both give the head nod to each other like nah I think.

48:03Speaker 3:Christopher Nolan probably looks at Scorsese a little.

48:08Speaker 5:I think Scorsese would look at him a little different like okay special effects heard I don't use that.

48:13Speaker 1:Shit nah nah he didn't use special effects for Scorsese used special effects And the Irishman.

48:22Speaker 3:Please.

48:24Speaker 2:I kind of wish he wouldn't have.

48:25Speaker 1:Yeah, that was crazy. Seeing Robert De Niro like that. Yeah, like I was just like.

48:29Speaker 2:Yo, that fake kick. Oh, my God.

48:32Speaker 1:Oh, man.

48:32Speaker 3:Well, yeah, no.

48:33Speaker 2:And he used the face change and shit. Yeah, he did.

48:35Speaker 1:He did.

48:36Speaker 2:You are correct.

48:36Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So.

48:39Speaker 2:But to me, like, just don't have Robert De Niro kick the guy. Just have somebody.

48:43Speaker 1:Yeah, you didn't.

48:43Speaker 2:An able body do it and then use special effects.

48:46Speaker 1:Yeah.

48:47Speaker 2:But go ahead, Demar. I'm sorry. It's fine.

48:49Speaker 6:I just wanted to ask Maul what he thought about Odysseus being a cheater.

48:58Speaker 2:It was the times.

48:59Speaker 1:She had him as her sex slave for years off lotus bombs.

49:02Speaker 3:Okay, but what did she say with that? What did she say?

49:05Speaker 6:She said, it doesn't completely change who you are. You weren't ready to go home. Those were her exact words. You weren't ready to go home. You didn't want to go home yet. You was laid up having a ball. Oh, you drug me, you drug me. She like, yeah, it don't complete, it alter your mind a little bit. bit it don't completely change who you are you wasn't ready to go home then you ready to go home now and when he went home to his wife and was telling the story from third person he ain't tell his wife that part of the journey left that out none of.

49:31Speaker 1:This sounds consensual yeah but it's I mean yeah you're right but she thought he was dead At that point, she's just happy that he's alive. Like, I don't need to tell you that I was on an island for seven years.

49:45Speaker 3:With another bitch.

49:46Speaker 1:But it was just, you know, she saved my life.

49:49Speaker 4:She gave me the will and the power to get on my little raft and float back to.

49:55Speaker 1:You know, Troy.

49:56Speaker 3:It took seven years for you to get your will and your power back.

50:00Speaker 1:Well, she had him drugged.

50:02Speaker 2:So what happened?

50:03Speaker 3:What stopped? She never stopped drugging him, by the way.

50:05Speaker 1:She did. No.

50:07Speaker 2:So you think that's okay?

50:07Speaker 6:She said he started to wake up from it. Like he started to finally fight and be ready to go home. No, I don't think it's okay.

50:13Speaker 1:Yeah, because he was blackout.

50:15Speaker 2:But I think he was having a ball.

50:17Speaker 3:I think he was having a ball.

50:18Speaker 1:He was high off shrooms. That was just shrooms. That's all that was. I don't know if y'all caught that.

50:23Speaker 2:Well, did they have shrooms at the time? You have to ask.

50:25Speaker 1:Lotus Flower. Just, you know.

50:27Speaker 2:Lotus Flower. That's definitely going to be the song that's used.

50:30Speaker 1:Yeah, that's all it was. But he was a high off shroom for seven years. They was tripping. They was tripping off shrooms for seven years on the beach. Beachfront property.

50:38Speaker 6:No.

50:39Speaker 2:Oh yeah, shrooms on the beach property. What?

50:41Speaker 1:I'm not going home either.

50:42Speaker 2:What's the point of having a beach front if you don't have shrooms?

50:44Speaker 1:Yeah, I got to go back to that shit and fight, kill all these dudes. Come on, man. Let me just lay up here.

50:49Speaker 3:Yeah.

50:49Speaker 1:Charlize Theron? You think I'm not going to lay on the beach with Charlize? Come on.

50:52Speaker 2:Yeah, he probably had daddy issues.

50:54Speaker 3:But you got Anne Hathaway at the crib. Y'all not doing that.

51:00Speaker 1:You show me a bad bitch. Anne Hathaway, she's beautiful.

51:02Speaker 2:I'll show you somebody tired of fucking her.

51:04Speaker 1:But Charlize Theron was just like, and she had shrooms. Come on, man. On the beach.

51:12Speaker 2:On the beach?

51:13Speaker 1:On the beach. Shrooms on the beach.

51:14Speaker 3:You wouldn't have been rushing to get home either?

51:16Speaker 2:Yeah.

51:17Speaker 1:Come on. Shrooms.

51:19Speaker 2:Moonlight.

51:19Speaker 1:My phone dead. Come on, man. Yeah. My whole crew. They just killed my whole crew. Oh, wait.

51:25Speaker 2:He can't even mourn?

51:27Speaker 1:Yeah. That's what he was mourning.

51:28Speaker 2:That's crazy.

51:29Speaker 1:He was mourning, you know, high. Come on, man. He went back home and got his queen on and took on a cruise to the west.

51:36Speaker 6:What?

51:38Speaker 1:Took on a cruise.

51:39Speaker 2:A little carnival cruise.

51:40Speaker 6:We out.

51:41Speaker 2:Alaskan.

51:41Speaker 1:I told y'all I was going to take you on that trip. Like, all right, come on. Take you on vacation to the West.

51:46Speaker 2:Yeah.

51:47Speaker 3:Fuck the fact I ain't raised my son. Like, you know what I'm saying?

51:50Speaker 4:I mean, you know, he instilled those things in him from early. So he grew up with that. And he handed the crown down to him. Like, yo, you know what I'm saying? You the king now.

52:00Speaker 2:She a real one.

52:01Speaker 1:Yeah, she held it down.

52:02Speaker 3:She a real one.

52:03Speaker 1:She definitely held it down. I ain't gonna lie, they pissed me. I almost walked out.

52:08Speaker 2:When?

52:09Speaker 1:The beginning of the movie. You can't open a movie like that with Travis Scott banging on the floor, dog.

52:13Speaker 3:That shit pissed me off.

52:14Speaker 2:I ain't gonna lie, me too.

52:15Speaker 1:Me too.

52:16Speaker 2:Travis Scott is in Odyssey? Yeah.

52:18Speaker 1:Yeah, he's the first person you see in Odyssey.

52:21Speaker 2:Salute to Travis. He's a storyteller.

52:23Speaker 3:It pissed me off.

52:24Speaker 2:Wait, he does the voiceovers for the whole movie?

52:25Speaker 1:No.

52:26Speaker 6:No, he was the storyteller at the beginning of the movie. But my thing is, I don't feel like they have veneers in them days.

52:32Speaker 1:I like the firework. They didn't. He had a shape up.

52:37Speaker 2:You couldn't have a shape up back then? They had razors, no?

52:40Speaker 1:No. They had no fucking razors. Look at Travis. Shape up. He just took his do-rag off. You see the line on his forehead? Like... Like, come on, though. What we doing, man?

52:51Speaker 6:And shout out to black people getting roles in huge movies.

52:56Speaker 1:No, that was dope. That's a great look for Travis.

52:58Speaker 2:I didn't know that. That's insane, bro.

52:59Speaker 1:That's a huge look.

53:00Speaker 2:First face you see in one of the biggest movies ever.

53:02Speaker 3:That's what we do.

53:03Speaker 2:Shout out.

53:03Speaker 1:Congratulations.

53:04Speaker 2:Incredible, Travis.

53:05Speaker 1:Like, he opens the movie.

53:06Speaker 3:Yeah.

53:06Speaker 5:That's the first face you see. That's fucking, that's bigger than getting Shorty pregnant. Like, congrats to Travis.

53:11Speaker 2:That's amazing.

53:12Speaker 1:Yeah.

53:15Speaker 2:John Leguizamo threw me off. They got a Puerto Rican.

53:19Speaker 1:In those times.

53:20Speaker 2:Mo, there wasn't really white people at that time. Puerto Ricans wasn't out yet.

53:27Speaker 1:Come on, man. Puerto Ricans? I was like, oh, come on, man. They got John Leguizamo in here. He's the blind guy in the castle. Like, come on, man.

53:36Speaker 2:You're right, Mo. Not enough people had been enslaved and raped to create the Puerto Rican race. Yes, you are correct.

53:41Speaker 1:It wasn't a thing yet.

53:42Speaker 2:It wasn't a thing yet. Are there white people in the movie?

53:46Speaker 1:Well, if you want to call them white, yeah.

53:48Speaker 2:Then it's inaccurate.

53:52Speaker 5:The whole thing is Travis Scott might be the most accurate thing of the movie if you want to get down to.

53:58Speaker 1:It which is why they opened with him to let you know like yeah we understand what was going on.

54:02Speaker 2:The whites were not around oh my god overall.

54:04Speaker 1:That was a great movie though really enjoyed it um.

54:07Speaker 3:Yeah do we do you think we gotta have a conversation about Robert.

54:10Speaker 1:Pattinson about what his acting he's great.

54:15Speaker 6:He's becoming like or he's become becoming one of those like one like he's the one he's like the guy.

54:22Speaker 1:I mean, he is. Come on, when you have a jawline like that, you're made for Hollywood.

54:25Speaker 2:Definitely agree.

54:27Speaker 6:Okay, so I'm kind of just now discovering this because, you know, Robert Pattinson to me will always be Edward from Twilight because I was a teenage girl. And no matter what, he'll always be Edward. It was becoming hard for me to see him outside of that. But his performance in being Batman, his performance in the drama, his performance in the Odyssey, like, I'm like, okay.

54:49Speaker 2:He's solidified.

54:52Speaker 3:You might be the... You're the one of our generation.

54:54Speaker 1:No, he's an incredible actor.

54:57Speaker 3:Yeah, he's the.

54:58Speaker 6:Of my generation, he's like the guy. He's the Tom Cruise or whatever, I guess, that you would call of our generation.

55:04Speaker 3:There's no one else.

55:05Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess I could see that comparison.

55:07Speaker 1:He has... The guy what? Oh, Chalamet. He's... He needs to be. He needs to be a... Has he been an action hero yet? Doom. Okay, yeah. Yeah, Timothee Chalamet is on that list too.

55:31Speaker 2:I think.

55:31Speaker 1:Marty Supreme was dope. Did y'all see that movie yet? I didn't see Marty Supreme.

55:34Speaker 2:I watched it on a plane.

55:35Speaker 4:Yeah, Marty Supreme was dope. To me, that might have been his best acting.

55:40Speaker 1:I agree. I agree.

55:42Speaker 2:That was definitely his best.

55:43Speaker 6:Really?

55:43Speaker 2:But he got a lot of shit. Like, I felt like it was his best performance acting wise as well. Yeah. And he got shit for it. I was like, I thought this was his best.

55:50Speaker 1:Yeah. I love that movie. That movie was dope.

55:52Speaker 3:Yeah.

55:53Speaker 6:No, like it's nice to see the new generation of like actors like, okay, who's the, who's the young legends now? And it's definitely obviously Robert Zendaya, Michael B.

56:03Speaker 1:Speaking of Zendaya, I saw Spider-Man too. You did?

56:06Speaker 2:Somebody told me I was going to cry. He was going crazy in LA. Yeah.

56:09Speaker 1:Somebody told me I was going to cry.

56:10Speaker 2:You screened it at Belly's house?

56:11Speaker 1:Somebody told me I was going to cry watching Spider-Man. I was like, what part was I supposed to... I was like, you didn't cry when he kissed her and found out it wasn't really her? I was like.

56:20Speaker 3:No, I jumped back though. You thought I was going to cry? I was like... My jaw dropped.

56:25Speaker 1:I thought the part that people would cry is when he was bleeding out on the floor. I thought he was going to die. I'm like, wait, Spider-Man dies in this movie? But I feel like somebody would have spoiled that online. I would have heard that already. But yeah, great movie though. That probably was the best Spider-Man.

56:38Speaker 3:I cried when he linked back up with his friends.

56:40Speaker 1:I think that was the best Spider-Man.

56:41Speaker 2:I'm a Toby Spider guy, man. Have you watched the other ones? I haven't seen the newest one, no.

56:46Speaker 1:That was the best Spider-Man.

56:47Speaker 3:Oh, you watched the other.

56:48Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, I have. But I haven't watched the most.

56:49Speaker 3:Tom Holland.

56:50Speaker 2:Yeah, and I fuck with him as Spider-Man. I love Toby as Spider.

56:53Speaker 3:Okay, I get that. It's a nostalgia thing. But let me say this.

56:57Speaker 6:You have to kind of watch the other movies in the MCU that Spider-Man is in to fall in love with Tom Holland's Spider-Man.

57:05Speaker 2:I think his Spider-Mans are great.

57:06Speaker 5:I do.

57:07Speaker 2:But again, nostalgia with Tobey.

57:08Speaker 1:Yes.

57:09Speaker 6:But again, like I said, watch the other MCU movies that he's in. So like the Avengers, if you watch the Avengers and he's in there.

57:15Speaker 1:This is the best Spider-Man.

57:17Speaker 3:This is not the best Spider-Man movie.

57:19Speaker 2:What?

57:19Speaker 3:It's not even Tom Holland's best Spider-Man movie.

57:22Speaker 1:No. Really?

57:25Speaker 6:I think the one where Aunt May dies is probably the best one. I can't remember which one that is.

57:29Speaker 1:Is that Brin?

57:29Speaker 2:Which is the one with all three? When they bring the three.

57:33Speaker 3:I think that's the same. I think it's the same one.

57:35Speaker 2:That one's really, really, really good.

57:36Speaker 1:Spider-Man.

57:37Speaker 2:Nah, they went crazy with that one. No Way Home.

57:40Speaker 1:Yeah.

57:40Speaker 6:No Way Home is fire. Where they got all three. They got Andrew Garfield. Fucking, whatchamacallit.

57:46Speaker 3:Yeah, they got all three.

57:47Speaker 2:They went nuts with No Way Home. Nah, I think this was the best one. I still have to see this one.

57:52Speaker 1:The story, everything to me.

57:54Speaker 3:So the story was really good, but the action wasn't there for some people.

57:57Speaker 1:They introduced Jean Grey. This was the best Spider-Man to me.

58:00Speaker 2:The rapper?

58:02Speaker 1:I wish that they introduced Jean Grey in this one.

58:05Speaker 4:Shout out to Jean. But yeah, no, the Spider-Man was dope, though. I really enjoyed that. I was in the theater. I went to go see it one night.

58:11Speaker 2:I was home.

58:11Speaker 4:I was like, let me see if it's playing right now. It was like 9 o'clock. So I was one plane at 9.15. I went over to the theater. 35 minutes into the movie, all the power in the theater goes out.

58:24Speaker 3:Are you for real?

58:25Speaker 1:I sat there. I was like, I just had the last, this is why.

58:27Speaker 4:This is why I should have just stayed home. But I wasn't far from the crib, so I wasn't mad. But I'm just like, so then there was another one starting at 10 and 15.

58:37Speaker 1:So went out. They was like, yo, we can just.

58:39Speaker 2:They refunded you, I hope.

58:41Speaker 1:Yeah, but I was able to walk into.

58:43Speaker 2:Because if you would have called me, I would have called them.

58:45Speaker 1:No, no, no. I got real.

58:46Speaker 2:Yeah, all right.

58:47Speaker 1:I got Kyle on.

58:48Speaker 2:I didn't get Karen.

58:49Speaker 1:I got Kyle on. Kyle, okay, cool.

58:50Speaker 2:I was like, this is such an inconvenience. Yeah, okay. Thank you.

58:54Speaker 1:The highest... I can't even tell you how much of a.

58:56Speaker 2:I hope you ruin that teenager's day.

58:57Speaker 1:Yeah.

58:58Speaker 2:Oh, God.

58:58Speaker 1:He was like 19 at the ticket counter. I was like, you don't even know how much of an inconvenience this is right now. And he gave me... He was like, they gave me a refund to me.

59:06Speaker 5:But i will never come here again i will never come here again makes fucking but i'm going.

59:10Speaker 4:Into the 10 15 showing and i watched it so it was good though i think that was to me that was the best spider-man.

59:15Speaker 6:I i need people to start giving tom holland more credit for his acting because even in the odyssey people were like oh like he acts like spider-man in the odyssey and i'm like well he.

59:24Speaker 1:Acts like spider-man I'm like, it's kind.

59:25Speaker 3:Of the same fucking character, low key.

59:27Speaker 6:Like, it's like a boy that's unsure of himself and trying to prove himself to himself and to the people who he looks up to. So, yeah, it is kind of the same character in different ways.

59:37Speaker 3:He did a good job.

59:39Speaker 1:I know one thing, man.

59:40Speaker 4:Hopefully they, you know, get happily married and have a beautiful family. But the day that Tom Holland and Zendaya break up.

59:48Speaker 2:Oh, my God. Why would you say that?

59:50Speaker 3:They're already married. That's number one.

59:51Speaker 1:Oh, they are?

59:52Speaker 3:Did they get married?

59:53Speaker 1:Yeah. Really?

59:54Speaker 6:Yeah.

59:54Speaker 3:It was very quiet, very low key.

59:56Speaker 2:Some people don't do any special where we have to watch.

59:58Speaker 1:I'm saying two A-list Hollywood actors like that getting married. I felt like that would be like.

1:00:04Speaker 2:They're the Brad Pitt.

1:00:05Speaker 3:It was hidden.

1:00:06Speaker 1:Yeah.

1:00:06Speaker 3:It was hidden. Very hidden.

1:00:08Speaker 1:So congrats to them. Hopefully they don't ever.

1:00:11Speaker 2:She's pregnant now, right?

1:00:12Speaker 6:No.

1:00:12Speaker 2:That was a joke?

1:00:13Speaker 1:Okay. Who jokes about that?

1:00:15Speaker 2:I saw something online of them holding up.

1:00:18Speaker 1:I don't know.

1:00:18Speaker 5:Everything ai i fall for i'm 36 sometimes i fall for it yeah.

1:00:22Speaker 1:But two great movies you know finally got to see them and odyssey was what everybody said it was definitely great movie.

1:00:32Speaker 6:It must be nice to go to work and just like your loved like your lover is there just like oh yeah me and tom going to do this me and tom going.

1:00:38Speaker 2:To do that like sometimes i don't know that that could backfire depending they were like sometimes people like to go to work and be separate even if they're in the best of love you could be in like to keep things separate.

1:00:51Speaker 6:Not when your movie is like not when your work is across the world for months like true.

1:00:56Speaker 5:That's fair that's fair too but a lot of people can afford to bring their significant other or wife with them on that but I could afford.

1:01:06Speaker 6:To bring you or they could pay you to be here with me you paying me to hang out with my wife and shoot with my wife.

1:01:12Speaker 1:I think that's amazing What was the Odyssey filmed at? Was that Cabo?

1:01:16Speaker 3:Cabo was funny.

1:01:18Speaker 2:Cabo was hilarious.

1:01:20Speaker 1:Where?

1:01:20Speaker 6:Greece.

1:01:21Speaker 2:Yeah, Cabo was hilarious.

1:01:22Speaker 6:Greece, Morocco, Italy, Iceland, Scotland, and Malta. And some studio work in Los Angeles. I said Greece when I looked at some of those shots.

1:01:31Speaker 1:I was like, that looks like Greece.

1:01:32Speaker 6:I said Iceland because they shoot a lot of shit in Iceland. And where are you from?

1:01:38Speaker 2:Ireland.

1:01:39Speaker 3:Ireland, too.

1:01:40Speaker 1:He's from Queens.

1:01:41Speaker 6:Okay.

1:01:44Speaker 2:Northern Queens is very Irish. Some would say little Ireland.

1:01:49Speaker 5:You go up Francis Lewis, Bell Boulevard is, it's like little Ireland. I knew what she was talking about. We identify as city field. I know what she was talking about because yes, a lot of amazing things are shot in Ireland.

1:02:06Speaker 1:True.

1:02:07Speaker 2:Because it's so beautiful there.

1:02:09Speaker 3:The greenery.

1:02:09Speaker 1:Yes.

1:02:10Speaker 5:But you saying Cabo is hot tape.

1:02:14Speaker 2:Unless you're at a resort. Cabo's not that visually appealing. Going from the airport to the nice place is not attractive. It's just like dead land.

1:02:26Speaker 1:But that beach, when they had the horse. Oh, no.

1:02:28Speaker 2:Once you get to the beach.

1:02:29Speaker 1:It looked like, I was like, that could be Cabo.

1:02:32Speaker 2:That could be where Instagram girl rides a four-wheeler for the first time.

1:02:35Speaker 1:Definitely.

1:02:36Speaker 6:Yeah.

1:02:36Speaker 2:I've seen the influence on that same sand. See, don't trigger me. Queens influencers, don't trigger me right now.

1:02:49Speaker 1:Wow.

1:02:51Speaker 2:I was waiting to argue with Damaris about this.

1:02:53Speaker 1:Oh, the US Open.

1:02:55Speaker 2:Yes.

1:02:55Speaker 1:It's back. I like the US Open. I should go to a game. I should catch a game. A match. Well, excuse me, a match. Let me say it correctly.

1:03:02Speaker 5:Yeah, because I think you would go there and respect the rules that have been there for 100 years.

1:03:07Speaker 1:Oh, for sure.

1:03:08Speaker 5:That when professionals are at work, you will be quiet and watch the match, right? You won't take a ring light. You won't start screaming.

1:03:16Speaker 1:Oh, no. I'm not doing that. I would be going to watch the match for sure.

1:03:21Speaker 2:Yeah. An institution that has been there forever.

1:03:24Speaker 1:Oh, well, okay. So this umpire tells all U.S. Open influencers to stage and photo shoot with lights during Naomi Osaka's first round match.

1:03:31Speaker 2:They had to stop.

1:03:32Speaker 1:So the match was ongoing?

1:03:34Speaker 2:Yes. They had to stop it more.

1:03:37Speaker 3:Ryan, pull up the clip you pulled up for me.

1:03:39Speaker 2:Okay, guys, we're back.

1:03:41Speaker 1:Did you miss us?

1:03:43Speaker 3:Because we missed you.

1:03:46Speaker 1:But this wasn't during a match, though.

1:03:48Speaker 6:Yes.

1:03:49Speaker 4:That's not possible. The entire stadium is quiet when a match is going. That had to be in between matches. Mo, they had to stop for ring lights. Maybe that's true, but that clip right there, a match was not happening.

1:04:01Speaker 5:I'm telling you that here, I'm not here to shit on influencers, but I do think Influencers, when they go into certain places, should have, as an adult, have social cues. Like you are walking into someone else's world, even though you're trying to influence it and bring new eyes.

1:04:20Speaker 2:I'm not against that.

1:04:22Speaker 5:You should have some couth and some understanding. Some social cue to go, oh, I should research the place I'm walking into to know that maybe I shouldn't have a fucking ring light while someone's trying.

1:04:34Speaker 2:To play tennis.

1:04:37Speaker 1:Yeah, I agree.

1:04:38Speaker 4:There's certain ways you're supposed to carry yourself. You can influence and get the job done, but while the match is actually happening, no.

1:04:47Speaker 2:What the fuck are you doing?

1:04:48Speaker 1:That's not part of tennis. That's not part of the tennis culture at all.

1:04:52Speaker 6:I do think that they should have done better. Tennis is very quiet. When it's time to be quiet, be quiet. However, these people were hired to do a job. They're not just there. They didn't buy those tickets. They aren't there just for fun. They are paid to be in those suites, to create content, to draw more eyes to the U.S. Open and to tennis. Now, is there a better way that that could have been handled? Of course, when someone's serving, when shit is silent, it's supposed to be. So any TikTok that requires you to be loud, anything like that, you should not be doing when someone is serving or when a match is going on.

1:05:26Speaker 1:In between a set?

1:05:27Speaker 2:Cool.

1:05:28Speaker 1:Exactly.

1:05:28Speaker 2:Not even in between a set. In between games, right?

1:05:32Speaker 1:In between a set.

1:05:32Speaker 2:Not even in between sets.

1:05:34Speaker 3:In between games, yes.

1:05:35Speaker 4:In between games, as far as bringing more eyes to tennis, I don't think tennis needs more eyes.

1:05:40Speaker 1:I think Naomi has that covered. I think that Coco has that covered.

1:05:44Speaker 3:Everything needs advertising. That's why they do that.

1:05:46Speaker 1:I just don't think the U.S. Open needs it. Okay.

1:05:48Speaker 5:Okay, but I just think, I hear you. No matter what, things need more eyes. More people are going to watch tennis that didn't before. But let's respect the thing that brought you here, which is tennis.

1:05:57Speaker 3:Saying the U.S.

1:05:58Speaker 1:Open needs more eyes is like saying the Super Bowl needs more eyes.

1:06:01Speaker 3:And, okay, so not just the U.S.

1:06:03Speaker 1:Open.

1:06:03Speaker 6:The suites specifically are usually owned by brands. The brands hire the influencers there to advertise things in the brands, whether it be- The brands want more eyes. Yes, the brands want more eyes.

1:06:13Speaker 2:The U.S.

1:06:14Speaker 1:Open doesn't need more eyes.

1:06:15Speaker 3:Okay, that's fine.

1:06:16Speaker 6:Either way- The influencers are there being paid to advertise for the brand. So whoever is there running content for the brand, it should be held responsible for that.

1:06:28Speaker 1:They should be held responsible.

1:06:30Speaker 6:Period.

1:06:31Speaker 5:Nobody is above the program. The thing, the reason why we are all here to be paid is because of the two or four people playing on the court. Let's respect them first because they're the reason we're here.

1:06:45Speaker 6:They're not the reason they're there. Grey Goose is the reason that they're the influencers are there. Whatever brand is there for advertising.

1:06:50Speaker 2:Why would Grey Goose care about it? They're a walking commercial. Why would Grey Goose care about it?

1:06:54Speaker 6:Why would Grey Goose care about anything? The point is they work for the brand. They don't work for the tennis players. Respect the tennis players.

1:06:59Speaker 2:I agree with you.

1:07:00Speaker 6:I'm not disagreeing with you on that. That was completely unacceptable. I didn't know that it was going on right.

1:07:04Speaker 3:In the middle of a match. That's completely unacceptable. That's completely unacceptable.

1:07:08Speaker 6:But what we're not going to do is not also act like People don't just hate influencers and look for any reason.

1:07:14Speaker 3:Oh, my God, you're doing that. That's so annoying.

1:07:16Speaker 6:Like that isn't isn't like you're not being paid to do that.

1:07:19Speaker 5:But I'm just dismissing my point of the reason why Grey Goose is there is insane to me. There would be nothing if it wasn't for the people that are playing. So that's the number one priority of anything that goes on here. The same way we've argued when Ebro was shitting on everyone. I was like, the only reason we have a reason to talk is because of artists. I always respect artists. We're here because of artists. Respect the athletes. You shouldn't be doing it during matches.

1:07:44Speaker 3:We agree. Not disagreeing with you on that.

1:07:46Speaker 2:But you're saying Grey Goose, like it doesn't matter about them. They're there.

1:07:49Speaker 1:No, I didn't.

1:07:49Speaker 6:I didn't say that. Well, I'm saying who they work for. That's all I was telling you. That's who they work for. So that's who they have to answer for because that is who is paying them.

1:07:56Speaker 5:But then respect the house you're walking into.

1:07:59Speaker 6:So that's why what I'm saying is it's on the content team, whoever is in charge of the influencers and all of that, the managers that work for Grey Goose. It's on them to make sure that the culture of tennis is respected because these people are here representing you and working for you. So whoever is in charge of that suite for that brand is. is in trouble, should be in trouble because that's completely unacceptable and you should have ran it better.

1:08:25Speaker 3:But the number three player, the influencers are doing their job.

1:08:28Speaker 1:I understand that.

1:08:29Speaker 4:But the number three player in the world, Jessica Magula says influence have become, influencers have become a little too much. I can appreciate one side of it, but I think we have the other side literally interrupting matches.

1:08:40Speaker 1:It gets a little tough.

1:08:42Speaker 4:So to what y'all are both saying, influence have a job, they're hired. But at the same time, you need to respect tennis. You need to respect the game. and conduct yourself a certain way. Influencers are there to influence and bring people who don't know about Tennessee U.S. Open, bring those eyes in, great. I'm sure brands and even the U.S. Open appreciate that. But at the same time, to Rory's point, you can understand why certain people are a little annoyed with influencers because then they do things like you go from influencing to interrupting.

1:09:14Speaker 1:You smoked that. I'm just saying, it's a real thing.

1:09:16Speaker 4:You go from influencing to interrupting.

1:09:20Speaker 1:So that's why people, you say people hate influencers, but can you see why?

1:09:24Speaker 2:For sure.

1:09:25Speaker 4:Because it's not influencing, you're interrupting the culture of tennis, you're interrupting the watching experience, you're interrupting the number three player in the world.

1:09:35Speaker 1:For sure.

1:09:36Speaker 3:Get what I'm saying? There definitely needs to be a balance.

1:09:38Speaker 4:And I'm sure she appreciates the influencers and, you know, women that are here to influence and bring brands and things like that to the U.S.

1:09:45Speaker 1:Open. But at the same time, while she's serving, she doesn't want to hear y'all up there doing a fucking TikTok either.

1:09:51Speaker 3:For sure.

1:09:52Speaker 1:I agree. So that's all it is.

1:09:53Speaker 2:And again, if Jessica doesn't play, there's nothing to influence.

1:09:57Speaker 6:Right.

1:09:57Speaker 2:That's all I'm saying. Yeah. That should be the priority. If she can't play, what do we influence?

1:10:04Speaker 1:And don't interrupt Naomi. We need Naomi to be focused. We need Naomi to win. For sure.

1:10:08Speaker 6:Also Coco. But also, let me say this. That was not the Grey Goose suite. I just used Grey Goose as an example. It was the first brand that came to my mind that I know has advertised tennis matches and things before.

1:10:19Speaker 3:So I don't want to put.

1:10:20Speaker 1:That on Grey Goose.

1:10:21Speaker 5:To your point, I was having this conversation this morning with somebody who was sort of defending the influencers and They brought up the guest suite thing too. And I said, it's not the guest suite. It's actually US Open. They need to put, because they did the deal with whatever guest suite that was. Obviously, if it's a Toyota suite, whatever, that US Open is doing that. That's their advertisers. They need to do this for their athletes. I don't even blame the Grey Goose example we're using. I blame the US Open. You need to put stricter rules to make sure your athletes can perform at the ability that they need to.

1:10:58Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure.

1:10:59Speaker 2:So I don't even put it on the Grey Goose, quote unquote. I put it on US Open. Why would you allow that suite to happen?

1:11:05Speaker 3:Well, it's also new.

1:11:06Speaker 6:So we're learning things in real time. Like we never had this conversation before.

1:11:11Speaker 5:No, this has happened plenty of times. It's just at It's on the world stage because the U.S.

1:11:16Speaker 2:Open is so big. This happens in smaller places. Like this is a problem.

1:11:22Speaker 6:Yes.

1:11:22Speaker 1:Before the U.S.

1:11:23Speaker 6:Open, it wasn't a huge problem enough for whoever creates the rules of the U.S. Open for it to hit their desk and become a thing now.

1:11:30Speaker 3:Now it's a thing. So I'm sure next year they will change the rules. I'm sure it will change.

1:11:34Speaker 6:But you have to see how something is interruptive before you can fix it and make sure, OK, let's make sure this never happens again.

1:11:41Speaker 5:Do you feel that, and this is a general statement, do you feel like influencers now feel like they're.

1:11:47Speaker 2:Above a regular patron?

1:11:50Speaker 1:It depends on who's the influencer.

1:11:51Speaker 2:Of course, the general statement.

1:11:52Speaker 4:Some influencers make a lot of money and they can probably walk in there and feel like, yeah. They don't have to follow certain- I was hired to be here.

1:11:59Speaker 1:I was hired to do my job.

1:12:01Speaker 4:I was hired to, versus a regular patron who just bought a ticket because they're fans of Naomi.

1:12:07Speaker 1:And it feels like, yeah, but does that mean interrupt.

1:12:09Speaker 5:I think there's some entitlement that comes with follower counts in social situations. I think there's plenty of people that go to golf matches for the first time and are just there. They bought a ticket and pick up social cues. Oh, everyone's really quiet right now. I'm not above the program here.

1:12:29Speaker 2:I'm quiet. I do think there is.

1:12:32Speaker 5:some type of mental illness within social media that makes some of these people feel like they're above the program and don't need to listen to anyone there that goes, shh, look what's going on.

1:12:44Speaker 2:No, I'm here.

1:12:45Speaker 6:I'm sure that that's, I'm sure that people did not sit there and tell them people, shh.

1:12:50Speaker 3:And they were like, no, I'm here.

1:12:51Speaker 5:I've seen influencers do it at restaurants at a way lower level. Like, bro, people are trying to enjoy their meal.

1:12:57Speaker 2:Like, can you stop? Stop what? screaming about your food because that's your thing on YouTube. But when y'all got.

1:13:06Speaker 6:Crying babies screaming in the spot, like that's annoying.

1:13:08Speaker 1:That's not the same.

1:13:09Speaker 6:That's a baby.

1:13:11Speaker 3:It's annoying.

1:13:12Speaker 1:You're an adult.

1:13:12Speaker 3:It's annoying.

1:13:13Speaker 1:It's annoying either way.

1:13:15Speaker 6:It's an experience that I did not sign up for either way. I'm trying to enjoy my meal. That's annoying me and that's annoying.

1:13:20Speaker 1:Being an annoying adult and a crying baby are not the same.

1:13:23Speaker 3:Both annoying and loud.

1:13:24Speaker 1:I'm not saying it's not.

1:13:25Speaker 3:And I love babies and I think that babies deserve to be in all spots.

1:13:27Speaker 1:You can't say that's the same thing. Like, it's not.

1:13:29Speaker 6:To a person who does not have the child, it is, it's annoying. One is annoying and the other is annoying.

1:13:34Speaker 4:If I'm on a flight and a baby is crying, I could sleep through that. If I'm on a flight and an adult is drunk and belligerent and yelling and.

1:13:41Speaker 6:That's completely different because that's more of a safety issue.

1:13:45Speaker 5:Demarius, I've been in restaurants and they have the rigs on their table and I'm next to the table with the big fucking light.

1:13:52Speaker 2:You have two cameras.

1:13:53Speaker 5:You're screaming like I'm trying to enjoy a fucking meal and you are screaming at the oysters because you want to do your YouTube reaction.

1:14:00Speaker 6:So you've never been to a restaurant and people were screaming with no camera in front of them? We live in New York City. That happens almost every time we go out. People be loud as fuck in restaurants.

1:14:08Speaker 2:Not with a fucking full fucking light.

1:14:10Speaker 6:Okay, they don't have a light, but they're still loud and drunk and crazy.

1:14:13Speaker 5:I'm not talking about at a restaurant that plays music and has hookah.

1:14:17Speaker 2:I'm talking about like a calm restaurant.

1:14:19Speaker 5:The spot that we love over here that I told you that the IG crowd picked up. I don't even like going there anymore because it's a bunch of food reviews and not like people just.

1:14:29Speaker 2:I watch food reviews.

1:14:29Speaker 6:You go in the restaurant and every time you go in the restaurant, it's mad people doing food reviews.

1:14:33Speaker 5:I know.

1:14:33Speaker 1:I go to.

1:14:34Speaker 2:Restaurants a lot of times. The last two times I've been there, yes.

1:14:36Speaker 6:There is very rarely am I the only person, very rarely am I not the only person in there recording content. Almost all the time, I'm the only motherfucker in there. I've never seen nobody else in a restaurant recording content.

1:14:45Speaker 3:That does not happen all the time.

1:14:47Speaker 2:Okay, well, I'm telling you that it happens. I'm telling you that it happens.

1:14:49Speaker 3:It interrupts your experience all the time.

1:14:51Speaker 2:Yes, it's fucking annoying when someone keeps doing that. Like, I don't... Am I crazy?

1:14:56Speaker 6:I think you're over-dramatizing. I don't think it happens as much as you're paying it to me. But it is annoying. And get your money.

1:15:02Speaker 2:I'm not mad. I watch food reviews. Like, I love them.

1:15:05Speaker 5:But I think people can, the same way everyone else does their job and has to adapt to the environment that they're in.

1:15:11Speaker 1:For sure.

1:15:12Speaker 5:I don't think influencers now are levitating above the rest of us and don't have to follow social cues and social rules. Like shut up when people are quiet.

1:15:21Speaker 6:But you know who isn't complaining about those influencers in the restaurant screaming about how good the oysters are?

1:15:25Speaker 3:The owner.

1:15:27Speaker 6:That's not who's complaining. The people in the restaurant who get paid. because they have a whole bunch of business, they're not complaining.

1:15:33Speaker 1:Oh no, it goes both ways. I agree with.

1:15:36Speaker 2:Both of y'all.

1:15:36Speaker 6:The majority of the time those influencers were invited there.

1:15:40Speaker 5:Bring Jessica's quote back up. We agree with what Jessica said. I see the other side. It brings eyes that they never had.

1:15:45Speaker 2:I get it.

1:15:46Speaker 1:I get both sides of the argument.

1:15:48Speaker 2:I like influencers. They are the reason why I know about influencers.

1:15:51Speaker 3:You hate influencers and that's okay.

1:15:54Speaker 2:You do.

1:15:54Speaker 5:That's not true. Food reviews are most of my YouTube shorts. It's restaurants in the city I live in that I don't know about and they put me on to shit.

1:16:04Speaker 2:I like that. But I also can tell that they're probably bothering people.

1:16:10Speaker 1:Sure. It's two sides to it.

1:16:12Speaker 4:I just, I'm just, just the influencers need to just know how to, you know, just influence, but still respect what's going on. Respect the decor of the U.S. Open of tennis.

1:16:22Speaker 3:For sure.

1:16:23Speaker 1:You know what I mean?

1:16:24Speaker 3:That for sure.

1:16:24Speaker 1:The U.S.

1:16:25Speaker 4:Open will continue to bring influencers in because they saw a massive spike in attendance, viewership since they started letting influencers in in 2024.

1:16:32Speaker 2:I thought they didn't need them. Whoa, I didn't say that.

1:16:34Speaker 1:The U.S. Open accounts for 90% of all the earnings for U.S. Tennis Association. I said the U.S. Open doesn't need more eyes.

1:16:40Speaker 2:I think they do.

1:16:40Speaker 1:Nobody's mad at getting more eyes.

1:16:41Speaker 2:I think the CMO does. I think everyone needs new eyes.

1:16:43Speaker 1:New eyes?

1:16:44Speaker 6:Because especially for something like tennis where... If you don't introduce that to kids early, like it's that's tennis is very elitist, can be very elite, especially being able to go to a game and things like that. So for you to get your favorite influencers, there's not these young kids are like, oh, like what's like what's this?

1:17:04Speaker 3:What's that? Let me watch the US Open.

1:17:05Speaker 1:Let me.

1:17:06Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure.

1:17:08Speaker 3:It helps. Golf, golf could probably benefit from that, too.

1:17:13Speaker 6:To anybody who is trying to become an influencer or creating content and you're in public spaces, please do be aware of how you could be affecting other people's experience. If you do affect or interrupt somebody else's experience, apologize.

1:17:25Speaker 1:Conduct yourselves accordingly. Yes.

1:17:27Speaker 3:Apologize.

1:17:28Speaker 6:Something you learned at a very young age. But, you know, I know that this is your job. So when people are listening to this, they're like, I hear you, but I'm making a million dollars a year because these brands are paying me to do this.

1:17:37Speaker 3:So fuck you, brokie.

1:17:38Speaker 2:Like, I.

1:17:39Speaker 3:I'm with you. I get it.

1:17:40Speaker 6:You know what I'm saying? But there can be a balance. Just don't be an asshole. Don't be an asshole and respect the culture of.

1:17:45Speaker 1:The room you're in. There comes a time where you become too annoying and you don't get invited back. Yeah. So there's that. And then you all call whatever organization to boycott the U.S. Open because they don't like influencers, specifically influencers of color. I can't wait to do that one.

1:18:04Speaker 6:The average person hates influencers though, period. The average person will see a tripod, somebody minding their business, see a tripod and get annoyed at that.

1:18:11Speaker 3:They will. It really is like that.

1:18:14Speaker 2:Despite if you think I'm not that person.

1:18:15Speaker 6:Well, you're not because you're a content creator.

1:18:17Speaker 3:You're also a content creator.

1:18:19Speaker 2:I don't mind that whatsoever. It's just when you.

1:18:22Speaker 5:are ruining everyone around you experience when you can find another way to do it is what bothers me.

1:18:27Speaker 4:I don't hate content creators or influencers. But if I'm leaving Yankee Stadium and you set up a tripod in the middle of the stairs while we're trying to go.

1:18:34Speaker 2:Downstairs, I hate that influencer. Get the fuck out of here.

1:18:37Speaker 1:I don't hate influencers.

1:18:38Speaker 2:I hate him.

1:18:39Speaker 1:Is he an influencer? Okay, I hate that influencer. But I mean, if you're going to influence and do it well and do it tastefully and, you know, absolutely.

1:18:45Speaker 5:I actually respect that more than certain people that try to take photos when people are trying to exit like this ain't the time yeah like pick a time that works.

1:18:54Speaker 6:Yeah that's what's up but then you don't get the crowd coming down me personally i don't mind you don't need you don't need that me being irritated for two seconds while somebody does their job so they could feed a family that's me personally.

1:19:05Speaker 2:That's what I said. The person taking a photo bothers me more.

1:19:07Speaker 1:You wouldn't say that if I had to bust a crack sale and was holding up the elevator while I did a hand-in-hand with a custody.

1:19:13Speaker 4:You wouldn't say, yo, I hope he's doing his job just to, you know, feed his family.

1:19:17Speaker 6:It's okay to be irritated in a second, but I don't think these people should not be able to do their job just because I had a moment of irritation. Plenty of people irritate me on a regular basis. That ain't influencing. Life is full of people irritating you. If people have to irritate me to feed their families for two seconds, I'm inconvenienced for two seconds.

1:19:33Speaker 3:That's fine. Okay.

1:19:34Speaker 1:Sorry. Sorry.

1:19:35Speaker 6:Go ahead.

1:19:35Speaker 3:No, talk your shit.

1:19:36Speaker 2:I was just going to say a note. Put TI, I'm just doing my job under this.

1:19:42Speaker 6:But yeah, Rory came in here trying to rage bait me like, Damaris, defend this.

1:19:46Speaker 3:Like, what the fuck?

1:19:46Speaker 2:I told you you're going to be on the wrong side of history.

1:19:48Speaker 1:That's all.

1:19:49Speaker 6:You didn't give me all the facts either, but that's fine. I'm used to you arguing in bad faith. That's what people weren't good at.

1:19:54Speaker 2:Did I not give you all the facts?

1:19:56Speaker 6:You did not say in the middle of the match. I did not know that it was in the middle of the match. I thought it was just at the US Open. It's okay.

1:20:03Speaker 2:Did the Jay-Z album come out? We're recording this at mid-afternoon on September 3rd.
