Sketch's leaked images and Taylor Swift's alleged $270 million masters scam involving Scooter Braun dominate the conversation, alongside a chaotic July 4th party where Miles faked a marriage to enter. The hosts dissect Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" video, arguing that while Drake's authenticity as a rapper is damaged by Atlanta accusations, his pop star status remains intact. Ultimately, Drake may pivot to EDM or Afrobeats to survive the beef, proving that serious allegations stick in public perception even when music sales remain resilient against high-profile feuds.

Sketch's Back Injury Joke00:09:39
We got breaking news with the whole Patreon.
Last question to the Patreon for no apparent reason.
And y'all can watch on Patreon for no apparent reason.
Nobody asked for this.
Mark just brings up Sketch getting his back blowing out for no apparent reason.
He's wearing pantyhose.
Mark brings up a video.
Sketch got the mini mouse gloves on or Mickey.
We don't know at this point.
Is he really?
I don't know.
I can't figure it out.
Obviously, these images have leaked.
Let me squint my eyes so I don't get all the way in.
Apparently.
That's why it's got like this.
He's like, God forbid I see some pussy.
I might do a street.
Do we know if it's him for real, though?
I think he is gay.
I'm just now learning about this kid, but it seems like he is gay.
This is a real detective.
I'm just now learning.
That shit is crazy, though.
From what I thought I saw.
How you look.
How you cook.
You fuck your eyes.
I'm trying so hard not to look.
Close your eyelids.
You don't have to put your hand there.
Yeah, just don't look at it.
Do we still do we know if it's him for real though?
Is it possible when he confirmed it is like a joke?
You don't want your kid to be dead.
I don't know.
Yeah, why can't he be gay?
Why can't he be gay, bro?
That's my point.
What's wrong?
What's wrong with you?
I just want the truth.
I just want to smoke.
But what's wrong with him being gay?
Nothing that I can think of.
Why are you fighting so hard for him to be not gay?
I just want the truth.
The truth is pretty clear.
You're saying a lot of truth.
There's nine inches of truth, Frank.
You just say it, bro.
Son.
I bet you he needs a shoulder to crown.
If you want to talk, Sketch, I'm here, bro.
Reach out.
Now you're inviting him to the crib, bro.
Reach out.
We can talk.
Crying.
What if he's going through something right now?
Hey, I don't know.
I mean, he's definitely going through something.
It's probably very difficult for him.
Something's going through.
The truth shoots.
She'll check free.
The truth sell shut the shoe free.
I can't drink Shabu.
Sketch, I don't know you, but it seems like you're gay.
That's okay.
I want you to be comfortable being gay.
He's a kid.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, be what you are, dude.
That's a beautiful thing.
Fuck anybody who judges you, Alex.
Yeah, Alex was judging.
He calling you gay looking like this.
Get out of here.
Nigga, I'm fly as fuck.
Let me ask you a serious question.
Let me ask you a serious question.
Is your dick bigger than the one Sketch was sucking in them videos?
Close.
Close.
So close in which direction?
I think I might be bigger.
Are you yo, this is not funny, man?
But we're taking Patreon energy back into the beginning of the pod.
No, no, no.
They can't judge us.
Nah.
It was already.
We got to go back to the episode.
We got to go back to the episode.
But listen, free sketch in all ways.
Like, be yourself.
Yes.
Play video games.
You know what I mean?
Don't stop streaming.
Now you're going to make it.
Don't stop streaming.
There's no way.
Why is there no way?
You and Mark don't want it to be true.
So bad.
That can't be weird.
Yo, I want to let him be gay.
I just watched seven videos of sucking dick.
I would like to believe that they're AI than actual videos of dick sucking that I just put in my eyes to watch.
Why?
What do you mean by you don't approve of what he does?
He's probably meant like emotional records.
This is why I hope it's not real.
Because the world is crumbling.
I genuinely hope it's not real because the reason he said he was doing it is because he was fucked up on drugs or did some whatever shit.
That's awful, Al.
Yeah, and I would hope that a young boy was not taken advantage of by some fucked up people because of a drug addiction.
Yeah.
Well, that looks good.
Well, that looks good.
I ain't gonna lie.
That looks good.
Let's take that back and forth.
We don't even got a funny cam for me to look into.
Miles queued up.
There you go.
He was late.
I guarantee you.
I know he was late.
I'd be looking into the camera.
Miles switches three seconds later.
I'm already looking back at the market.
He's on the ring cam in the front.
I don't even know what Miles doing back there.
Damn, what a fucking back to the episode.
We got to talk to Sketch, man.
Shout out, Sketch.
I hope you live your truth.
Yes.
I hope you, if you're gay, I hope you're gay.
Gay, brother.
Yeah, brother.
Yeah, brother.
That's not encouraging.
What's up, brother?
Like the.
Let's get to it.
All right.
We're going to go back.
We're going to go back to the regular rest of the episode.
Do you think he has a manager that is shrewd enough to be putting out these narratives on the internet to maintain relevance?
Wait, that he's gay?
No, faking this, like putting AI images, saying that he used to be an OnlyFans creator.
Also, what dude had to be the one that admitted he found?
You know what I mean?
Like, you don't want to be the dude in a friend group.
It's like, yo, yo, you heard sketches in gay OnlyFans?
Let's pretend somebody sent it.
Oh, I just got sent to me.
No matter who.
Show us the DM.
Yeah, Mark, who sent this to you?
Bro, it's Grand Wizard.
He's posting about it.
Talk to him.
Yeah, it's true.
Why does he still have it activated?
Is it activated or somebody just like?
I have no idea.
You tell us, Al, is it activated?
I mean, if they're up, if people are finding them right now, I would assume it's still active.
Yo, I got caught.
Oh, because I tried to do that.
Hey, brother, you're gay.
Did you look at the page?
Is it still up?
There's no way.
He's probably making so much fucking money streaming.
There's no reason to even do the gay porn.
You do it for a lovely game claim.
You really are.
Love the game clause.
You know what I mean?
Damn.
Let him go at it.
There's no way.
Why is there no way?
Let me tell you why.
Because last week, everybody was 100% convinced that the prison porno was real.
Okay.
Did you see that one?
Yeah, yeah.
So this girl is getting fucked.
She's the CO.
She's getting fucked by this guy in a prison in England.
Right.
And the other dude is filming on his phone.
And everybody's like, oh my God, this girl has a boyfriend.
Her boyfriend's an MMA fighter.
They have a kid together and the family's going to fall apart.
Blah, blah, blah.
And it just comes out today that the whole thing is fake.
Wow.
So it's like, is this the new thing?
Might be the new thing, yo.
How much of it was fake?
So all of it is just a scene set up.
Those are just two random guys.
No one's in jail.
Nothing.
Ah, damn.
Yeah.
That's far.
And here's the fucked up thing.
Why did we want it to be real?
It's kind of hot, dog.
No, she like stopped and got it.
Why do these things, why are these things hot?
Dropped to her knees like a champion.
Dude, do that.
That's what I knew was fake.
It was the distance she put the penis inside of her head that was like shocking.
There was like no warm-up or anything.
Trapdoor.
It was absolutely insane.
But why is there something hot about this?
Because it's naughty, dog.
Yeah, that's not everything taboo gives you an erection, though.
Hopefully, Mark.
Right?
Just because something's taboo, you're not like, this is hot.
Why is that hot?
She has a husband and a kid, and she's sucking some fucking Algerian guy's dick in a prison in northern England.
And I'm like turned on by this.
I haven't even seen the video.
As you're saying it, I need to watch the video.
You get horny, right?
Just imagine the Zidane headbutting in the middle of a fucking prison cell.
Why is that?
It's the ultimate.
The desire to be wanted that you're willing to risk everything.
You have your life, your family, your children, this money, everything, your career, and you're going to risk it all for this guy.
Okay, okay.
So it is insecurity.
It's we all want to be desired so much by a girl that they would be willing to throw away everything.
I mean, think about her life.
She's a prison guard in Sheffield.
Like, think about what she's going to throw away.
Exactly.
40 pounds a year, 40,000 pounds a year.
Oh, my God.
How will she ever get another job?
And she's, but she's an immigrant, though.
You got to consider that.
Oh, was she?
Yeah, she's Brazilian.
That's also hotter.
She doesn't even know that's not part of the job.
I think that's also an important thing.
Like, she doesn't know it's OnlyFit.
Crazy part about that is technically that's so we're all getting off by watching.
She's ripping that.
She has the power.
Yeah.
Y'all creeps, man.
God damn, bro.
Female.
Don't be gay about that.
That's what you're saying.
What a gay guy.
Nah, that's your goal.
Yo.
That is the ultimate design.
Wait a minute.
Hold on.
If Mark's theory is true, Mark might have thrown out some Terrence Howard shit, but we're going to go with this.
We're not fact jacking.
Sit down, Brett Weinstein.
Okay.
If Mark's theory is true, that we are turned on by ultimate desire from women, like women becoming so uncontrolled of their actions due to their lust, right?
That she would be willing to a man.
Technically, female to male.
Yeah.
As long as it's not like underage or anything like that, is the hottest form of sex.
I'm just saying, if we're going by this theory, if we're going by the theory, let's just go by the theory.
Mark, walk us through it.
And I don't mean to put you on this.
Yeah.
Okay, go.
I think you might be honest.
Is that it?
Do we just want to be wanted?
But the fact that we want to be wanted so bad is why it's hard to dudes.
Oh, fuck.
Like, because we never.
Because the second they want us that bad, we're into it.
Exactly.
And then they got to stop.
And then we don't.
And there's only one thing we can do.
Welcome.
Not that.
Hold on.
That's why you never hear men like.
Now you're talking.
Now you're talking.
That's why you have these things.
And Philip Lee just put, no.
Shannon Sharp Ass Flexing00:08:04
But go, go.
That's why you never hear of age men like doing the accusation bad because as soon as they're wanted so badly by a woman, even in a power differential, they're just going to accept it.
Wow.
There is something incredibly flattering about a girl just wanting you so bad.
I mean, there's been moments in my life where there was a girl who looked a lot like a rat at a Long Island show once.
And she was like, I just, I just want to suck your dick in my car if you want to come right now.
And she was a rat looking.
I do want to come right now.
Yeah.
But I was so turned on by it.
I was like, maybe I should give you that.
Yeah, sure.
You should have.
You can't.
And then say no while she's doing it.
Just to like throw her off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Life tour update.

We're going to be in Jacksonville at the end of July, Hawaii at the end of August.
Five weekends in a row in September, we're going to be on the road.
But in the meantime, I want to talk about a chai shop that I invested in.
It's called Fontenias.
I honestly have not found good chai in New York until this.
I invested in it.
My brother helps run it.
His name is Arjun Gupta.
He's a fantastic actor.
Also married a wonderful woman from India in Assam, where they have some of the best chai in India, which is some of the best chai drinker, biggest chai drinkers in the world.
Guys, Fontenias, it's in Dumbo at 28J Street.
You know it's good because I invested in Dumbo and I hate doing that.
So go there.
A couple of people came through last week.
I really appreciate y'all.
They DM'd me, said it was great.
I appreciate that.
I love y'all.
Thank y'all.
Keep going.
Fontenez, that's F-O-N-T-A-I-N-H-A-S.
There you go.
Fontenez.
Let's get back to the show.
The gayest things we do in straight set.
Exactly.
When a guy sees a handsome guy and goes, man, you must get so much pussy.
People Male comics will say that to Mark as if that's not gay.
Like, instead of just being like, Yo, you're a good-looking guy, they'll be like, Dude, I bet you get so much pussy.
Why is that gay?
What's care about that?
I bet you get your dicks up all the time, bro.
Just like girls are just like on their knees.
I bet you girls see what she's doing.
It's so much gay.
He's continuing it past just getting pussy and describing what happens.
He'd just be like, Hey, he's a handsome guy.
No, no, this is the one.
This is the one that was funny.
One of our boys said this to Mark once.
He was like, It's like, man, you're so stupid being married, bro.
Dude, how many girls you could fuck if you weren't married?
And Mark's like, What do you mean?
He goes, Dang, you would just be editing me sometimes after shows coming up to you.
You just fucking him in a green room, dog.
Why are you thinking about me?
That's gay.
That's extremely gay of him.
Oh my god, dude.
Yeah, how attractive can you?
This is some more like an academics question, but like, how attractive to a guy can you be before it's gay?
Because like Tom Brady was an attractive dude.
I'm sure.
I didn't feel gay, yeah, but I felt more gay than when I look at y'all.
I'm not saying y'all are attractive, but like, you don't get my dick nothing.
Nah, one look at me will straighten you right up.
That's the thing.
We'll get one of them veins going.
Maybe.
Damn.
Maybe.
But yeah, when does it become that?
At 51%.
And that's your thing, Doug.
Doug believes he is 51% straight.
He is literally 2% away from actually being a homosexual man.
We can all be like, why do you want to call 49 on his couch?
He's like, by popular vote, I'm gay.
I'm straight in action 30 states.
He's truly 2016 straight.
I'm just giving you guys a runway.
You can comment on a guy as much as you want, but then I think if you think about them having sex, right?
Remember when Vala was like, yo, Shannon Sharp.
That was 51%.
We look at a picture of Shannon Sharp shirtless, like, just talking about Shannon Sharp.
We'd be like, yeah, his show is hilarious.
Like, this guy's killing.
And we saw a picture of him without a shirt at the shit.
He had a shirt.
He's so he looks amazing.
He looks good shape.
And we're like, man, this guy's in great shape.
I wish I looked like that.
Vala goes, man, he must be crazy in bed.
No.
What?
That's 100%.
No.
Why?
That's different.
He said, and that's where it's gay must be.
That's it.
That's it right there.
What the fuck is that about?
Like, what positions are you even thinking about?
Like, telling your man to get ahead from the Gergenboat smasher?
Like, is that one of the positions?
Because if you're thinking of him being crazy, but you're thinking of him on top, which is a gayer way to think about him.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you're thinking about his dude.
You're thinking about positions.
No, you are.
You're thinking about his dude ass flexing.
That dude ass flex is not a good ass.
You look gay, bro.
It's not a good look.
We look like dragons.
You ever catch something here?
You know what I'm talking?
You know, if dragon got no ass, it's just tail.
Nah, that's what we, you especially.
If he's talking about Shannon Sharp, though, he looked like he does some squats.
Probably look a little better.
What you trying to say?
Shannon Sharp probably got some cheeks, bro.
I just said, he probably cheeked up.
Look at it.
It looked like a ball set.
Nah, that's probably how I look.
Oh, my God.
That's what my ass looks like when I'm on top.
Guarantee.
Oh, God.
That's exactly what my ass looks like when I'm full thrust on top.
How crazy?
I'm not even ashamed of that deal.
Who is that?
That's Hank Hill.
Hank Hill.
I got Hank, bro.
You got Hank Hill.
My ass looked like Tom Brady's chin.
That's how tiny my ass retracts.
But I go home.
That's straight ass.
Like, that's a straight man's ass.
Oh, yeah.
You're saying that gay guys got.
Yeah.
That's why Barcolo.
Yo, how do you know so much?
Mark 49%.
No, don't touch his own.
Mark 49%.
Mark him out.
He'd be working on it a lot.
Al know so much.
I'll know so much about gay guys.
Are you saying gay guys got bigger asses, Al?
What's up?
I would think so.
How often do you got to change the couches at WTF Studios?
Because them gay dudes are gobbling up.
Them shits be crazy.
That'd be stains on the ball front.
They got wet.
They need trouble munching.
They need butt munching.
Do the gay guys get calm on your couch?
No, I hope not.
I hope not.
They slurp it up.
That's called WTF, bro.
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
What's Al on right now?
That's wild, dog.
What's gay to him and what's not gay to him?
Nah, yeah, I do.
He's going crazy.
I go to the studio and shit.
That's crazy.
I got to get it off me, man.
You know what I'm saying?
Every time I see it, because there's so many pods that film at WTF, so you see a lot of different pods there.
There's a bunch of badass bitches, just all badass bitches.
And I attribute everything to WTF.
And it's usually bad bitches talking about bad bitch things, but every once in a while.
Hey.
And I see that shit out there, yo.
WTF is gay.
Fashion is gay.
Fashion is gay.
Oh, God.
So why?
Why Weezy trying to hit me with so many facts in my IG comments all the time?
She got to be paid by the Democrats or something.
Yeah, yeah.
Why are you defending like that?
Everything I posted, she said she got on quick with the abortion shit.
Universal Rights and Masters00:15:01
She was probably right about that one.
But then I posted something else.
The Taylor shit she was on right over.
Oh, yeah.
I posted something about the Taylor and she's like, oh, it's not exactly that.
Yeah.
You said it was hard to find.
She was like, LOL, it's not hard to find.
It's like, why are you LOLing preemptively, bitch?
What's the preemptive LOL about?
She's a shade room commenter.
You know, they be liking me.
They be going in.
They be going in.
That's just how they show love.
I'm just amazed she's defending this Swift like that.
She's defending the Swifties.
Yo, I got more tea on the Taylor shit side.
Oh, that's good.
If y'all want to know, I know we're having fun having gay talk, though, so I don't want to move off of this shit.
And there's nothing straighter than four guys talking about Taylor Swift.
It's a perfect segue.
He should?
Yes.
I don't know if this is the same tea I already said, though.
If I'm being completely honest with you, it might be lukewarm.
It might be redundant tea.
It might be a lukewarm tea.
It might be redundant tea.
Right back to chops.
Okay, here's the tea.
I think, not even, this is, this is, I'm going to give you the information.
Okay.
But this is my presumption.
I'm putting this out.
I think Taylor's team lied to her to protect their jobs after fumbling the biggest deal in music history.
And I think she believed the lie because you'd rather believe your dad ain't fuck you, your dad didn't fuck you over.
Your managers didn't fuck you over.
Your new record exec didn't fuck you.
You'd rather believe everybody around you that's there to protect you didn't fuck you over and that these two other dudes did.
Right.
But what's this based on?
Okay, so she sends this.
I actually got this fucking letter.
So she sends this.
She agrees to go to Universal, right?
With this guy, Lucian Grange guy.
She agrees to go there.
Okay.
Lucian tells her, as part of the deal, we're going to give you back your masters, which has never happened before in history.
Yeah.
Okay.
But she, but he goes, you can't say anything to Scott Borchetto, the guy who owns Big Machine.
Because if you say that it's going to happen, then he's going to charge me out the fucking ass.
And then it doesn't even make sense.
So I need you to tell him you don't even want them.
Because if you say you don't want the masters, then I can get them for a good amount.
There's not going to be this, ideally, not this crazy bidding war.
Right.
Now, I don't know if Lucian is telling her that, but the deal is, is it under the table hush deal that she's going to get the masters as part of this thing?
This has never happened before in music.
She sends a text that's public domain.
You can go look at it right now.
Matter of fact, I might have it.
That Big Machine put it up on their fucking website.
So she sends this text, right?
And the text is to Scott Borchetta, right?
The text reads as this.
You ready?
Okay.
Scott, I hope this finds you well.
Since communication ran dry on our negotiations, I've done what I told you I would do and gone out exploring other options.
Owning my masters was very important to me, but I've since realized that there are things that mean even more to me in the bigger picture.
I had a choice whether to bet on my past or to bet on the future.
And I think knowing me, you can guess which one I chose.
I also saw a rare opportunity to affect positive change for a lot of other artists with the leverage I have right now.
I know you believe in the same things that I do.
I'd like to think that you would be proud of what I've negotiated for in my deal.
That's the new one with Universal.
I wanted to tell you first that I'll be signing with Lucian, Universal.
I honestly, truly cherish everything you and I have built together.
And I plan on saying so in my announcement of the new deal.
What we accomplished together will be a lasting legacy and a case study on excellent partnerships.
And may it continue.
I still view you as a partner and friend.
And I hope you feel the same.
Sending you a hug and my most sincere gratitude and so much love, Taylor.
Political, brilliant, authentic, beautiful.
Beautiful message.
I'm good on the masters.
She says she's going to go to this other place.
Okay.
Scooter comes in and goes, hold on, she's not buying the masters?
Hey, I'd like to buy the masters.
Tell Scott Porchetta, hey, if she wants to be involved in this, pull her in.
Scott Borchetta sends him that text message.
She doesn't want to be part of it.
Universal is trying to buy the masters for $270 million.
Assuming in that situation that if you're Lucian and you're invested in her future, you also want to be invested in her past.
Makes perfect sense.
Scooter's like, $270?
Shit, I'll do it for more.
He doesn't know that the plan is to give the master.
This has never happened before in fucking history.
Give masters.
He goes, I'll buy them for more than that.
What does Scott Porchetta want to do more than anything?
Fuck the most money.
Fuck that guy.
I'm not going to give you, make the most money, one, but I'm also not going to give the masters to the guy who stole the most valuable client I will ever have in the history of my business.
And I'm going to give him, fuck that.
I got another one for more money and I get to stuff it to that motherfucker.
Boom.
I don't get why Universal thought that would work.
Like, I don't know what their calculation was.
They'll say, oh, we'll buy it from the guy that's mad at us.
This is why I have a little empathy for what Taylor thought.
Her team fucked up the greatest record deal in history.
The greatest record deal in history.
You have to lock that in before she goes.
You have to lock in the deal for 270.
They didn't lock in that deal.
I think Taylor thought that it was locked in.
I think her team all to save their own asses said it was.
And then Scooter and Scott, they fucking back channeled it and they stole it from us.
Because if they say what really happened, which is what the email core respondents show, that their team didn't have a fucking deal, they fucked up.
And these guys made one to stuff it, stick it to, or to stick it to Universal.
So the team is in fucking desperation mode.
We're all going to get fired.
We fucked up the biggest deal in music history.
The biggest artist in history, her first six albums, we fucked it up.
We got to have a scapegoat.
What's a scapegoat?
Scott Brichetta, Scooter Brown.
What sticks?
Scooter Brown.
So I, so, and then what happens is once the narrative already exists, it's like House of Dragons.
It's like, okay, I don't want to go back against this.
I imagine it's come to light.
I imagine Taylor now probably knows what really happened.
I mean, fairly quickly, big, big put out those text messages.
Here's the correspondences.
Here's everything.
But once the narrative's set, you just run with those narratives.
And it's a great narrative.
It continues the victimhood narrative, right?
So it's like everything's kind of perfect and you just want to look the other way and you want to drive as fast as you possibly can.
The only problem is, you know, some fucked up shit ends up happening to Scooper's family, the death threats, her telling her fans, go tell them how you feel.
And then these fucking lunatics go somewhere.
What I still don't love is at the end of the documentary, Taylor's team, they ask her for comment.
She's like, we'd like to move on from this.
I bet you would.
This is in our past.
I see mad comments on the post that we put up.
Taylor wants to move on from this.
She wants nothing to do with this.
This is in her past.
When has she ever let anything go?
You know what I mean?
She talked about Kanye for fucking years when she was the victim.
When somebody else is a victim and she wants, guys, why are we harping on the back?
Yeah.
This is old news.
And that is the thing that I'm like, yo, I can give her the benefit of the doubt to a large degree.
That is funny, though.
That all of a sudden, when you win a billion dollars, now we don't need to focus on the past.
This guy's life got threatened.
I got nothing to do with that, even though you actively called for it.
If you, yo, you can't tell me Trump called for insurrection or whatever, and Taylor didn't call for this guy's family to get threatened.
It's a great you can't believe that.
You gotta either believe none or believe both.
That's great.
That's the same shit.
Say it down and stand by is actually softer than tell them how you feel.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's rushed the capital.
Yeah.
She said rush the capital.
She's gonna storm that bitch.
But it's interesting that, you know, she talks so much about the patriarchy and the power of the patriarchy and she's behaving a lot like it.
That is the dude.
That is the thing that drives me crazy.
And I say this about minorities all the time when we just want to.
Still best concert I've ever seen.
I just want to point that out.
That would never take anything away from me.
She is a historically great artist.
Amazing.
Anybody's trying to say otherwise, you're lying to yourselves.
And her team knows that and they know they fucked up.
And I presume they fucking lied to her and then she ran with it and she's too embarrassed to acknowledge she ran with it.
And she might even believe it.
But there's proof of what really happened.
There's email correspondence.
It's all out there.
Like all the truth is out there.
But people would rather believe the lie that's more interesting, which is the girl got taken advantage of by these evil record execs.
No.
Your fucking team fucked up.
Your daddy, who's on the board, fucked up.
The lawyer your daddy appointed to look at every email just so he can't, he fucked up.
Everything is there.
His dad is responding to emails.
What is it?
Scott Swift?
Her dad.
Sorry, her dad is responding to emails.
There's screenshots of this shit.
It's all out there.
It's the most obvious fucking thing in music history that nobody talks about or cares about because she's so famous.
And just being famous and successful doesn't mean that you should allow to accept these fucking narratives.
Now, feel bad for Scooter or not.
That guy's a fucking billionaire.
He did great.
He's doing awesome.
Okay.
But he also does have to deal with a large swath of the world thinking that he did something which he did not do that might go against his character.
And that's fucked up.
Imagine people just thought you did some shit that you did not do.
Absolutely.
It would like, it would annoy you, it'd rub you the wrong way a little bit.
And if your family's getting threatened, you want to dislike the guy cool.
But if your family's getting threatened, it's just a different ballgame.
It just is.
The second you bring family into it, you cross a fucking line.
Everybody knows this.
You bring wife, you bring kids.
They're not talking about it.
That's some demonic shit.
You bring kids into something.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I'm curious.
Do you know if Universal changed the deal since they weren't able to get buy the masters?
Because I'm sure that was the carrot that got Taylor to say.
That is an absolutely phenomenal question, Al.
Sorry, what'd you say?
This is a great fucking question.
Because I'm sure the big pull to get Taylor to sign to Universal was: hey, we're going to buy your Masters and give it to you.
Now that they couldn't attain her Master, did they give her a different deal?
That would be we got to find that out coming to you next week.
That because if they do change the deal and add more upside or incentivize in some new way, they acknowledge that they had this pre-existing thing.
Whoa.
Because why would Taylor accept the same deal and lose out on $300 million worth of music rights?
And that's in perpetuity.
It's 300 million then.
Now, who knows what the fuck it's worth?
Bruh.
Hmm.
And was there a contract she signed with Universal before the Masters got put through, or is that just like in talks?
I don't know.
That's the thing I'd want to know.
I don't know.
Because she was being offered by Big Machine a way to get her masters back through making more albums or just buy it back herself.
She had like, I don't know, a few hundred million at the time, and it would liquidate her essentially to buy back the masters.
So I'm sure reasonably so.
You're hesitating.
Though you could get a loan to get your shit back, you're one of the biggest artists in the world.
Doesn't matter.
It's way better when some other company's like, we're going to get it back for you.
Now, do we want to get really nasty with it?
If we want to get really nasty with it, what if they promised it to her, knowing full well they didn't really care that much to get her the masters?
They were going to lowball, see if they could get them.
If they couldn't get them, who gives a fuck?
We got this Taylor girl.
And you know what she's going to do, Mark?
What do you think she's going to do?
I think she's going to make some more albums.
I think she's going to make a lot of money.
And not only will she make some more albums, maybe she'll re-record those original ones that we don't have the rights to.
You think they do that, though?
I'm just saying, what is cheaper if you re-record them, galvanize your fans based on this bullshit narrative that they should go out there and now she can get the money from them.
You get the money from them.
You didn't have to lose the 300 million in the first place.
It's almost now.
We're getting real conspiratorial, and I have no proof for any of this.
But it's a way better deal if you ask me for Universal.
You save $270 million and you still get all the fucking albums.
So she did get screwed over by music executives, but it was the other ones.
But it was the other ones.
And I imagine she's either too embarrassed or doesn't truly know what really happened to admit it.
Because you don't want to go, I went to Universal and all these men fucked me.
And I'm staying here.
And you got to stay because you signed that fucking contract.
Can you check if the new re-recorded albums are under Universal?
I'm sure she owns the complete masters for them, but I imagine that what is it?
I don't know how, I don't know how record deals work where like sometimes distribution.
Yeah.
I think Universal still has the distribution.
Let's look at that.
But if she owns like all the rights masters warp, that's kind of the smoking gun right there.
Because she's signed to a label.
She's putting out a new album that should automatically go to the label.
Label should automatically own the rights to the label.
Well, I'm sure the deal that she had was like she gets to keep her masters in perpetuity, all of them.
Oh, you think even the new albums should be?
I would imagine.
I would imagine she might be that.
I think Universal, what his theory is, and I don't know, I think we're giving her a lot of benefit of the doubt, but I'm fine doing that because her fans scare me.
I think what he's saying is Universal is like, hey, you know what?
Why don't you just re-record your albums and you'll keep those masters?
We know we fucked up.
You re-record the albums.
You keep the masters.
They're all yours.
You didn't have to pay for them.
They're yours.
But they still get the distribution.
So they still won.
They didn't have to pay for the masters.
And you know what?
And you know what, Ankash?
You know what they were going to get for the Lowe's six albums earlier?
Just the distribution.
Yeah.
So now you get the distribution and you save $300 million.
If that is what happened.
And even if the real asshole here is this guy, Lucian, and Scooter's getting all the fucking heat.
And we could throw you an extra $100 million, Taylor.
Just, we fucked up.
I'm sorry.
And we're still, now we made things right with you and we're still saving $100 million.
I wouldn't say Lucian's an asshole.
He's just a smart businessman.
Are we afraid of him as well, or is it just Swifties?
What I'm saying is, no, no, what I'm saying is this.
No, no, what I'm saying is this is fuck that guy.
You know what I mean?
Hey, hey, hey, ready?
Fuck that guy.
Fucking over the Swifties like that.
Oh, yeah.
Saving Millions on Distribution00:02:01
How dare he fuck over Taylor and Swifties.
They didn't know any better.
What a jerk.
They've been duped.
What a jerk.
Just fuck over the Swifties.
I got my friendship, Braves.
There it is.
Let's go.
Swiftie gay.
It says her new contract with Republic Records gives her complete ownership of her songs, and therefore Taylor's version was born.
I don't know if Republic and Universal are the same.
Maybe Republic is within Universal.
With complete ownership, include distribution.
I think you still need a distributor.
Okay.
Yeah.
So they'll get this distribution rights, which is the only thing they're going to fucking get anyway, and they saved $270 million.
And nobody's talking that.
Because the narrative that she has is so fucking sexy.
If you're a young girl, you got your heart broken a million fucking times, you have guys manipulate you, treat you like shit.
Why the fuck would you want to believe that things were happening in good faith?
Also, music executives historically don't have the best track record.
So it's an easy person to jump on.
Of course.
Absolutely.
Okay.
I want fucking Scooter.
Fucking Scooter.
Okay.
I wonder if it affected his business in any way where artists were like, oh, if I work here, is it going to, you know, am I going to lose my masters or whatever?
Like, I wonder if it did affect his bottom line in some way.
Lucian?
No, Scooter in the long term.
Like, I wonder if artists were like hesitant and had to be explained the whole story.
I would assume, yes.
Yeah.
Like, if I was a new artist, Sonny with him, would I be like, ooh, is this, could this backfire?
Because her narrative is so compelling.
Like, I wonder if there's any verifiable way he could prove that it affected his business.
And then he had to go all the way to Korea.
He had to go all the way to Korea where they can't even pronounce Taylor Swift.
Exactly.
And that's what he had to do.
They forced him to go to fucking Korea to make boy bands.
What are they?
Boys.
They're boys, boy bands.
This is disgusting.
What they've done to this point.
You want to be an artist that's associated with Scooter who has beef with the biggest artists in the world.
Right.
And that definitely fucked up his bottom line because other people wouldn't.
I think he got to sue Taylor Swift.
I mean.
Taylor Swift in Korea00:02:39
You ain't going to win that one.
Sorry, Swifty.
Sorry.
Yo, because I get a little Zen in the system and I start saying crazy shit.
I think at the end of the day, everybody's happy.
We lucky.
We are so removed from music and we're still afraid of the Swifties.
We are son.
We are so removed.
Listen, Swifties, free your girl from the real music execs that are fucking her over.
Her dad?
Lucian.
What does Lucian look like?
She's over this.
I think she wants to move.
She wants to move on.
She wants to move on.
She wants to move on, make billions of dollars.
Yeah, let's move on.
Why have we been bringing up this tee?
Yeah, no.
I went to the concert.
Let's talk about something relevant, like when Kanye stole her popcorn awards.
That shit mattered.
That was fucked up.
That shit mattered.
That space trophy or whatever.
That was a horrible.
That was traumatizing shit.
I know.
That's hard.
Remember when I went to that concert?
You want to know who got me tickets of that shit?
Scooter Bronze.
So I just heard something insane.
You know, Netflix has over 18,000 titles globally, but only 6,000 are available to us in the U.S.
So we are literally missing out on thousands of great shows, 12,000 or more to be exact, unless you use ExpressVPN.
Tons of people spend over $100 a month on streaming services, Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime, blah, blah, blah.
But if you did ExpressVPN, you can cut back to just Netflix, maybe one or two others if you want, save so much every month.
I'll explain how.
Like I said, Netflix hides content from you based on which country you're in.
So in the U.S., you only have access to about a third of their actual library, but with ExpressVPN, you can change your online location to a country where, say, the access isn't restricted and you can get way more TV shows, movies, etc.
They got servers in over 100 countries so you can gain access to thousands of new shows and never run out of stuff to watch.
I've used it in the US to watch Friends on Netflix, to watch Modern Family on Netflix, and I've used it when I travel abroad.
I was doing shows in Europe during football season.
You know how I accessed good old American football?
I accessed the American VPN and there you go.
Guys, sign up for ExpressVPN.
It's easy to use.
You just fire up the app, click on one button to change locations.
It works on phones, laptops, smart TVs, and more.
And it was rated number one by top tech reviewers like CNET and The Verge.
So be smart.
Stop paying full price for streaming services and only getting access to a fraction of the content.
Get your money's worth at expressvpn.com slash flagrant.
Don't forget to use that link.
It is expressvpn.com slash flagrant because you will get an extra three months of ExpressVPN for free.
Now let's get back to the show.
ExpressVPN Streaming Access00:15:00
Al does pretend to be a rapper.
Have you ever heard this?
This is a true story.
Alex does pretend to be a rapper.
Please tell me.
He likes to get rap clout.
Please tell me.
Alex told me in confidence.
He said, don't tell anyone this.
I said, I never will.
But I'll tell you guys privately.
Basically, sometimes when he flies Delta One, he intentionally puts on some chains and some rings.
He says something.
To be a rapper.
That way people see him and they go, oh, this guy must be a rapper.
So he's trying to double dip on the rap clout and the podcast clout.
I hope you get pulled over.
I hope you get pulled over by search.
That's a death presentation.
That is a death guy.
Not in every sitting.
But I hope you get inconvenienced by this.
When I drive, all this is off.
You got to swear to tie your neck like Carlson.
Stop it.
Come on, man.
Yeah, you got to know when to show them and know when to fold them.
Yes, absolutely.
That is.
He loves white people asking him on Delta One.
Like, so, what kind of industry are you in?
You just see the looks.
Like, you just get the looks.
And I know they try to figure it out in their head.
It's like, oh, what black guy is this?
Really?
Why?
Because they're trying to understand why you can afford to be in Delta One.
Yes.
That's racist.
Yes, it is.
Racism.
You could sell drugs.
Yeah, you can be a basketball player.
Yeah, there's tons of things black people could do.
Maybe not basketball.
To be honest, if I saw a white guy with a bunch of tattoos and goofy ass clothes and a grill, I'd be like, what the fuck is this white boy doing shit?
Yeah, it looked like little Mabu.
Shut up, Mabu.
Yo, Mabu checked out.
I didn't check.
Mamu checked.
I didn't even know I was real.
I was scary, son.
Alex.
I'm scary.
I didn't even know that was him.
I thought you were joking, calling this white kid a change blow.
Yo, the greatest drill rapper in New York history was out in Hampton, pulling up with his pops.
We chilling at the party, July 4th.
And so gangster him to pull up with his pop.
Pull up with his pop.
I'm more afraid of Mabu's pops than I'm Mabu.
Yeah, Big Mabu's a little scary.
And he goes, yo, wasn't that the kid over there that said I'm a culture vulture?
And then I was like, ow!
And I swear, Al Turner, out the corner of his eye, saw Mabu and then couldn't hear me.
I had to yell his name three more times.
I was like, yo, didn't you call Mabu Po Tor?
Al just started laughing like that and then ran down the yard to go play spike ball.
He's a bigger culture bolt fan.
You really are watching after Cece with my little cute dog.
He tried to steal spike ball from the whites.
Culture voltage.
Oh, I'm nice.
Culture.
No, we're not getting spike balls.
No, Don't let him.
Busting ass and stuff.
Don't let him off the whiteboard beats.
Okay, so what happened in your interaction when Mabu checked you?
Son, I honestly thought you were making a joke.
I did not think that was Mabu.
Who'd you think it was?
Just a white guy pretending to be black.
That's who I thought it was.
All right.
And then when he rolled up and he checked you, he brought the tool out.
Dude, you know what's crazy?
When we went for the ice cream and shit like that, I'm still thinking that wasn't Mabu.
And I'm like, yo, let me get a 16.
So I'm fucking with him not thinking he's actually a rapper.
That's cat.
I swear to God, I did swear to God.
You heard it, right?
Did he spit for you?
No, he did it.
Damn, bro.
Gonna eat up all my Froyo and not even get $16, Mabu?
We had all the toppings and everything.
Yo, we're throwing out some wild accusations.
Let me just say everything is a legend.
But in case we get sued, you know who we're going to call?
Morgan and Morgan.
And you can call them too if you are wrongfully injured.
They sponsored this segment.
Let's get back to it.
We had a fun weekend out there.
Akash bailed on us, of course.
Come on, bro.
Akash hates us, yo.
Come on, dude.
I never want to hang out with the fam.
I had a show, yo.
I had to go vindicate myself.
Oh, we got to hear about this show.
Akash, the worst bomb he's ever had in his life.
He had the opportunity to write this shit.
We are going to get to that.
But I first want to reflect real quick on this weekend that you were not here for because you bailed on us for the worst gig you've ever done.
Yes.
So you had a chance to do the worst gig you've ever done again or hang out with your friends and family for July 4th and you picked the worst gig I've ever done.
Got it.
Okay, Akash wanted to be the Brown Party.
That's what it was.
You wanted to pump the Brown Party.
Ain't nothing wrong with that.
That's who I am.
You're our friend, too.
Hey, you're our friend.
You're my brother.
You're my brother.
Y'all like that.
I see you as white.
Oh, gosh, I mean that.
Okay.
I do see you that way.
That's a compliment from you.
He wouldn't like me otherwise.
Okay, this weekend, boys came out.
Dove found his Brazilians.
I mean, Dove was just, Dub was on a tear.
That was awesome.
Dove really found himself.
He was only 48% this weekend, bro.
Oh, like, come on.
I thought he was straight.
He's very straight.
I thought he was straight.
I don't know what was happening, but I know when I walked into the office today, I heard Dove on the phone to somebody go, oh, you don't have to sell me.
I'm along on the Hamptons.
And I was like, what happened this weekend?
What happened this weekend?
I don't know what happened.
But I know it was fun, dude.
Oh, yeah.
I know Dove had fun.
It's Adult Disneyland.
Can I just say, real quick, real quick.
Disneyland.
It's fantastic.
Rich Adult Disneyland.
Yeah, yeah.
Al rented a dog for the weekend so he could fit in and not scare white people.
He rented this.
How much does it cost to rent a dog for the weekend?
That's my dog.
Man, stop.
That is my dog.
I got right outside WTF on Canal Street.
Picked up one of them motherfuckers from a window sunbrook.
Hey, it would have been Friday.
Before you peeking this thing for July 4th.
She was next to a duck hanging on a tree.
So we're out there, right?
And, bro, I'm so excited for this week.
We figured everything out.
The boys are coming out.
Like, I'm so excited, right?
I set up paddle every single day for us.
Every single morning, we got paddle set up, whatever.
I get out there, I think, Monday night.
Tuesday, I'm like, all right, let me play some paddle.
The boys are going to come in Wednesday, Thursday.
Let me just get a game or two in so I can get warm for them and bust that ass.
Tuesday, I play first game.
It was either Tuesday or Wednesday.
I play.
I turn my back in one way.
Back is gone.
I'm like, all right, back is gone.
I go, back is I literally, my hips went this way, my back went this way, and I'm out for two weeks.
Okay, so I go, okay, my back is fucking gone.
I can barely breathe.
It's really bad.
It's the beginning of a two-hour game.
I can't quit in this fucking game.
Within three minutes of my back, I jump up in the air to hit a ball.
I come down and I can't jump as high as I used to, but my ankles don't know that yet.
So I jumped and my feet kind of went like this, thinking we were going to be in the air longer.
I came down, boom, immediately sprained the fuck out of my ankle.
My ankle's gone.
Back gone, ankle gone.
Okay.
He was so sad, bro.
So sad.
I never seen him.
I like pictures.
I'm hobbling back, bro.
I'm hobbling back.
Why is this so?
That was when his back went.
That was like, look at that.
Oh, these acts.
That was an actual photograph.
This is Shelton's back when I went.
I was heartbroken.
I was heartbroken.
I showed up.
My wife, y'all know my wife don't like it when I'm sick or I'm hurt.
She's an amazing woman.
She's incredible.
She supports me with everything I do.
But if I get sick or hurt, she acts like I act with her.
You know what I mean?
So she was like two hours, absolutely phenomenal, getting me anything I needed to get.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That time runs out fast.
Two hours and one minute.
I asked for her to get like some Tylenol or something.
And I remember she was like, didn't you already take it?
And the second she said that shit, I was like, oh, it's going to be a long week.
It's going to be a long motherfucking week.
I couldn't move for the rest of the fucking week.
Everything's ruined.
Okay.
Just for me, I'm heartbroken.
I'm sad.
I just want to let you're setting the table.
Okay.
The boys come out.
Resurgence of energy.
It's getting exciting.
Okay.
Take it away.
Wait, what?
Just take it away.
Did I say that, though?
What is 10?
I think he thought he interrupted.
He's so used to interrupting.
He's like, yo, I'm going to let you finish this, but let me.
I done Kanye Park in the whole fucking game.
You're about to tell us to the end of the story.
You said, take it away.
Oh, that is.
No, no, that was it.
That was it.
He tried to Game of Thrones us.
He gave us three books and said, take it away.
What the fuck?
Can't Game of Thrones your own story?
Fuck y'all.
Finish the series.
We need book five.
It's Thursday.
Oh, it's Thursday.
Yo, can I be honest with you?
Can I be honest with you?
I started telling y'all.
I love you too.
I started telling y'all about twisting my ankle here in my back.
I got sad.
I couldn't even think about what else I was to tell y'all about.
No, you really weren't sad.
I really was honest.
You were sad.
I felt bad.
You got it taken away.
I was, bro, I kept telling people about it, and I would look over my shoulder and look at my wife looking at me stank for even talking about my ankle and back hurting, bro.
I tried to reach for something and I was like, oh, if my back hurts, I saw my wife giggling at me with Jamil.
I go, are you laughing at me?
And she goes, Jamil's laughing.
I go, he could laugh.
We built up three decades of laughing at our pain.
You got to be here for me during this period in our lives.
But how much longer did you play after you got injured?
Two hours.
Two hours after the injury.
Because I was warm and I knew that was the last time I was probably going to be able to be able to play Trader.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
Do you think you exacerbated the injury?
Yes.
Mark, my ankle still doesn't work.
You said take it away.
I'm just asking interesting questions.
Not with girl logic.
That's what I was like, God damn it.
Did you win?
We actually did one once up, but it doesn't matter.
Not counting that.
It was an overall net loss.
But anyway, the boys came out and we had a great time.
And Dove was in Adult Disney World.
He found his Brazilian girls and he was just on fucking fire.
How did Dove and Harry your injury?
Because we had all these games set up and he also didn't play.
Oh, do you think that he had a reason for that?
Maybe?
I don't know.
He said he was also injured.
I got injured.
What are you going to say?
How'd you?
Is that contagious?
How'd you get his injury?
He got injured.
He could dance every fucking night.
He was out till 5 a.m.
5 a.m.
What'd you get injured to it?
Backstrokes?
Receiving?
It just happens.
We're playing a lot of paddle.
It's too much.
But did you have fun?
You have fun out there?
Phenomenal.
We all happy.
Talk about the Dove.
Your voice sounds hoarse.
A little raspy.
We all still have Molly in our street.
Oh, yeah.
They were doing so much fucking Molly.
Bro, it's also funny.
Like, there's one thing that I get in the laugh out of it.
The mouse got a little hit.
He just did frightening.
He said the word.
He said the word and started licking your fingers.
That's Pablo.
That was Pavlovo, bro.
That's crazy.
That was Popson Friday.
You feel salt in your mouth?
That was shit.
That was absolutely.
That was absolutely crazy, bro.
Yo, I got to say, after this weekend, I do have some friends with some drug problems.
I do.
And by friends, I mean I have one friend with a real drug problem, bro.
You know, you got a friend with a drug problem when the rest of your friends are like, yo, this dude's an asshole.
Yeah, let me tell you something.
We got one friend who is in, bro.
Now, I got two friends.
Val is one of them, but he's not the one I'm talking about.
That was my first guess, bro.
It wasn't Vala, but it was funny because Vala must have must have been on some Coke or some shit.
Because some people came up to me, like, hey, we were at the MSG show, and, you know, the show was great.
And that was really so thoughtful.
The video at the end, and Val was right next to me.
You know me.
Like, I want to give people credit for making the show.
I was like, yo, Vala.
I was like, this is the guy who made the video, right?
I go, this the guy who made the video.
Vala turns around.
He goes, the heartwarming video of your family.
And they look at him.
It's like, that was so beautiful with the baby and everything like that.
He didn't say a single word.
He went, they finished complimenting you.
And then he just went like this.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
His bottom job looked like a typewriter, bro.
He was like, there's the mask, bro.
It was scary.
There it was going.
Oh, my God.
God, bro.
Nah, we had a fun barbecue.
Great barbecue.
Fun.
We had a lot of drugs at this party.
You surprised us with a frolio truck.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That was all.
I was all at my Emma.
Did a nice job with that.
That was sweet.
And then we went to this fucking rich-ass party, bro.
Here's the thing.
The final night?
The final night.
We went to this rich ass, it's like the July 4th, the party, whatever.
We can't jump to the final, right?
Oh, where were we at?
What about the party you got kicked out of?
I didn't mean to get kicked out.
No one ever meant to kick out.
I didn't mean to get kicked out.
I didn't mean.
I walked out of the door and I didn't know you couldn't leave out of that door.
They were flipping.
They were open.
I opened the door and they were like, you can't leave out the door.
And I'm like, well, I'm already out.
You want me to go back in and close the door?
And then there was a whole day.
It's not a big deal.
We don't got to talk about that.
I think we worked it out.
I think we figured all the things out back anyway.
You just get kicked out.
No, no, no.
It was a stalemate.
Old stalemate.
But he went in the car.
I left.
He's already on the car.
I left.
You can't fire.
No, we left.
We left.
We got to leave with the boy.
Yeah.
You really didn't do anything wrong.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Yeah.
No, I'm glad they left.
I'm making sure they left with you.
Is that good?
I'm making sure they left with you.
Listen, none of us were feeling that Miles got kicked out for mixing girls' drinks.
Yeah, for the dude.
Fucking maniac.
This guy was like, Oh, I'm nice, Miles.
All my friends are gay.
Yeah, you learned some tricks from them, didn't you?
No, he was grabbing random drinks and just mixing them together like he had some fucking Molly or something in the drink.
And the girl was like, What are you doing to my drink?
And immediately, get him the fuck out of here.
I was eavesdropping and I needed to look busy.
More like bar dropping, am I right?
I was eavesdropping, and I got to look busy like I worked there.
So I started cleaning up a table and I was pouring all the drinks into one drink, and then they didn't like what?
How is that better?
We were both eavesdropping.
Here's how I was.
Here's how I was eavesdropping.
I was going like this.
I was way closer.
Eavesdropping at the Party00:04:50
Miles was eavesdropping.
He was going, Mark didn't hear anything.
I was way closer.
I was in the group.
I was in the fucking group.
You got to eavesdrop.
He was in the fucking group.
Yeah, chime in.
Just drop right there.
Well, not like, I wasn't turned to them, but I was like, just tell us your logic when you picked up the girls' drink and you started mixing another drink.
There were 20 drinks or half drinking, and I just started pouring them into one, looking like I was working there.
I was really drunk.
Nonetheless, I had a friend that got a real drug problem.
Is the girl Miles drugs?
Miles did not drug any girls.
Okay.
We go to, we go to, all right, but whatever.
Fine.
We have a lovely dinner at this restaurant in a downtown Sack Harbor and phenomenal, great food, great nights.
Amazing.
And then we go to this party.
Okay.
And the party is this like very fancy.
This is like the culminating event of the weekend.
And we're getting loose.
But the dance floor is kind of, I'll be honest with you, it was mid.
No one's really like everybody's there, but kind of like they're aware that they're being looked at.
We go, Mark.
Can I share another miles?
Yo, Miles has a story.
No disrespect.
Well, I'll take it away.
So that party was so hard to get into.
It was like unbelievable.
I don't even know how Dove pulled it off between you two.
Like we all got in, and it was like a group of like eight of us.
There's a line around the block.
Cops are showing up.
Oh, yeah, the street is shut down.
It is impossible to get into.
And as we're getting in, there's this girl, beautiful girl, comes up to me.
She's like, hey, like, I really, I need help getting in.
Like, all my friends are in there.
And this girl is a P a 10, a beautiful girl.
And I was like, oh, yeah.
Well, I'm so glad you asked.
Miles is walking up right now.
I was like, this is your guy.
Hold on, hold on one second.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
The exact same thing happens to every one of us, by the way.
Yeah, because there are girls that are just so desperate to get into this party that they're literally at the gate.
It's like, have you ever been to like a Hilton where the koi fish are at the and they don't feed them because they know that like the Asians will stay there and they get excited?
So the koi fish, when you walk by, so the girls are at the fence goal, right?
Yeah, and they're walking up, hey, can we come in with you?
And when we, when we pulled up, they were like, oh, okay, you guys are here for the party, blah, blah, blah.
And once they noticed that we were going to get in, they start trying to latch on.
And one girl asks, Hey, can I go in with you?
I don't know.
I don't know what's going on.
He goes, I don't know.
It's going on.
She goes, Yeah, I'll just go in with you if you guys go in.
She's like, I'm a girl.
I'll just go in here.
He goes, Yeah, I don't know.
He goes, She's like, Can I just go in with you?
And he goes, He just goes, Look, I don't work here.
That's one way to handle this situation, okay?
Now, the other way to handle it is you say, you know what?
We're going to pretend that we're married and I'm going to walk in with you.
Okay.
And that's great.
I set a good thing up.
That's what Miles said.
It was a perfect setup.
So she goes, That's a great idea.
And just locks arms with him.
And they start chit-chatting and sort of, you know, talking about the weekend.
And we're all filing in.
And this is how hard the door is: is that a 10, a beautiful woman from New York City, can't get into a party.
In what world does that happen?
And so Miles grabs her, that she's on his arm, and we all walk in.
And then he's the last one to walk in, and you are kind of like saying who can get in, da-da-da.
And then you look at Miles, you go, he's good.
She is like, and Charles is like, she's also good, I guess.
I don't know.
I guess he works here.
And then Miles and her just walked into the party.
And I was like, oh, this is great.
This is great.
We have such good vibes.
Ratio is on 10 right now.
And then never saw the girl yet.
So you know how shy women are?
She was with her friend.
And left her.
Left her friend behind her.
Left her friend behind.
So that was crazy.
I think, was the other girl hot too?
Yeah.
I think they brought up.
Miles is being a little generous.
10.
But I mean, she was up there.
Yeah, but I'm sorry for the story.
Yeah, she was up there.
Her friend was nice.
What happened?
You guys had so much chemistry going into this party.
I like got her number.
We talked.
And then I was like, come on, Miles.
You got to know when they using you.
They were using me.
I knew it.
She's like, how long, dog?
Stay by his side before I can go make myself.
She beat him to the door.
They were separate by the time they got into the house.
Wait, what was their excuse?
She said, oh, I got to go to the guy's dick.
Blue Chew Wallet Upgrade00:02:50
Yeah, exactly.
But it's also funny because, like, does she like owe Miles pussy because they walked in together?
Not at all.
They have a friend.
I'm not taking advantage of Miles.
I think you can say her name and then y'all can let her know how you feel.
You got to go full tailor, Miles.
Oh, yeah, she actually got fans.
She has fans.
Oh, really?
Yeah, she's a reality TV girl.
No, yeah.
On Netflix and everything.

RFID Protection for Wallets00:06:31
This is it right here, boys.
Let's get back to the show.
So in there, we're getting it in.
Dance floor.
It was like, how do you describe it, Al?
I mean, having a good time.
It's very cool.
Yeah, it was cool.
Jay by the pool talking for like three hours.
Three hours.
We were having some great combos.
Great conversations.
It was like great way from the party where Emphasis.
I'll be honest, if I have Adderall on the system, I want to pod.
I was trying to podcast, bro.
I was like, fuck all this dance and shit.
I need the Adderall to work through me a little bit and then we can let loose.
So we were talking by the pool for a little bit.
But when we got to the dance floor, we turned it into a mosh pit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember you bullied the DJ and being like, what's happening?
And then Mark started flashing his iPhone just to give the request.
But we needed it.
It was proper.
Needed.
We saved the party.
I mean, I don't want to say it.
I don't want to say that.
But you can say it, Doug.
Hey, I don't think we saved the party.
Did they save the party?
For them.
For them, for sure.
Games of crescendo.
You need it.
You see the end on that.
One section of the dance floor just jumping up and down, shirts are coming off.
The rest of the dance floor, kind of like that a little bit, but it was fun.
What songs?
Oh, white resid.
Mr. Bright and Galli.
Oh, yeah.
Nirvana, Nirvana, White Side.
But that's the final three songs.
The final song.
Nirvana is fantastic.
Listen, we don't know how to do the cool shit.
I don't understand.
I don't know how to do the cool shit.
If we're going to the party, we're either going to podcast by the pool or we're going to fucking turn the fuck up on the dance floor.
I'm not going to like do stupid, like, I'm being looked at.
Everybody's watching me dance moves.
We're either going for it and having fun.
And it's going to get wild.
And you're going to see girls in fucking six-inch heels jumping up and down, mosh pit styling.
They all got on board too.
And I respect that because sometimes the girls, like, they want to be like too cool or whatever.
And there's fucking Brazilians.
Yeah, the Brazilians were fucking cool.
But like, there's girls out there trying to get choes.
You know, Leo's sitting in the fucking corner.
Yeah.
You know, so those girls could go, Am I the one?
Yeah.
Or they could turn the fuck up.
They was turning the fuck up.
Leo went home empty-handed.
Loser?
You know what I'm saying?
What a loser.
I don't think he's ever gone home empty-handed.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
I think he left with Miles Girl.
That'd be the coolest thing in the world.
That'd be unbelievably the coolest thing.
John Stockton to Leo, man.
That's sick, actually.
That's all.
Just no look pass.
Fire.
You stop looking.
She was God.
No, we had fun.
It was a good, it was a good time, and I'm stoked that you're all there.
And ah, gosh, I wish you were there.
I know.
I know.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for having us.
No, dude, come on, man.
I was putting it together.
That was fire.
Awesome.
That's the only way.
Yeah, that's the only way I want to celebrate those things.
I think that's the thing.
Like, I don't know.
It's, yeah, like there, you know, there's that, there's the big party out there every year, which is the white party, which is at Michael Rubin's house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I assume all these people are friends.
So it makes sense that they're hanging together.
But the idea of like not being with, if you're not friends with all those people that are already there, the idea of like not being with your friends on July 4th or on like a fun weekend when you can, when everybody's off and they're trying to party, it just seems like a little bit of a mistake, in my opinion.
But if that's your community, you guys hang all the time and then you get to let loose and like rip, and then that seems like a go on.
Did you get invited?
You're no, no, no, no.
I'm not cool enough to do something like that.
But if I was, I wouldn't want to do that over hang out with you guys and party.
It's going to be the same music.
Yeah.
It's going to be the same alcohol.
There's more small talk.
There's more small talk.
And I hate the fucking small talk.
I can't do it.
I had my all-white outfit ready just in case we got ready to go.
Not going to lie.
Don't ask for a plus three.
That'll get you banned from the party.
Yeah, I was saying it's on the thread, but the white party to me seems like dudes Met Gala.
Yeah.
Like we all get, everybody gets dressed up.
You get super hype.
It doesn't really mean anything, but getting an invite is like, you made it.
And then we're like, what watch is he wearing?
Everybody's flexing with the watches.
To me, it's just the male Met Gala.
Now, I'd still probably go off I got invited because I ain't shit, but we know what it is, right?
We know what time it is.
You're not friends with these people.
You're just trying to be like, I made it.
But I'm sure the party.
Yeah, exactly.
And I'm sure that feels good.
There's like validation.
Yeah.
You're like, oh, I'm at a level, et cetera.
So I'm sure it's incredibly flattering.
Like the Met Gala thing is flattering.
Like, I have zero interest to go to the fucking Met Gala ever.
Yeah.
If I go, it's because my wife made me.
Exactly.
The only thing.
And it's important to them.
So, you know, that's something that you have to go.
But the Met Gala is on some random Monday.
Yeah.
Like, you're not doing nothing better than that on a Monday.
But July 4th, all your boys are going to come out and then you're going to leave all your friends to go to this party.
Yeah.
Just so you could.
It could be a good business opportunity, right?
You meet good people.
Yes.
It like validates the career.
It is great.
It does all those things.
So maybe you have to look at it like that.
You have to look at doing a show.
You're like, sometimes you got to perform on Christmas.
Sometimes you got to perform on New Year's.
Sometimes you got to perform July 4th.
So you could look at it like that.
That's the smart way to look at it.
And maybe they're looking like that too.
But I'm also like, if I could have 12 of my homies out east and we could just fucking eat lobster rolls and some of them could do lots of cocaine and we could just laugh at each other.
Like that's going to be so much fun.
For me, going to like a party when I know I have a big group at that party, like I came with eight guys, like that I can go and do my home faith, but I have home.
It's nothing the best.
That's probably the best.
Going to a party with one other dude to just now you feel responsible for them.
Oh, yeah.
If a couple of your friends are at the white party and you get invited, that's probably lit as fuck.
You're like, that's why you're here.
I'm sure.
You know who likes that party the most?
Athletes or NFL and NBA that are off-season really let loose right now before they go back to camp in the season.
It's like, and also they got a bunch of their, I imagine, homies.
Like if you're a basketball player, you've been playing with the same dude since you're 14 years old.
If you're an elite basketball player, so it's not like these people are strangers.
Yeah.
You know?
But good times, man.
Yeah, it was far.
Except Ferg.
Good times.
But I will say this though.
Ferg was fire.
I was tired.
Yeah, Ferg, you went crazy for Ferg.
You bar for bar for Ferg.
That's kind of wild.
I didn't even know you had that.
Nice.
That Ferg is nice.
He's unbelievable.
Nah, he's performing.
He completely killed that shit.
White Party Athlete Vibes00:06:09
But yeah, it was.
I tell you this, though.
I only got two days of partying left in me now.
Well, we're total.
I got.
No, no, like I could party.
Damn, dog.
Nah, I could party for two days and then I'm like, my body can't produce serotonin anymore.
Like it just runs out of happy.
In bed all day yesterday.
I woke up.
I ate him back to sleep.
That was false.
See, I want to do that, but then my wife would be looking at me crazy, like, you partied and now you're not hanging out with your daughter.
So I'm like, all right, I'm going to be tired all day just to prove you all.
Let's see who naps first.
But I knew I showed up late because when I got back that night, my wife was pumping.
Oh, yay.
So she was pumping her breath.
She was like getting the milk out in the middle of the night.
And I was like, oh, fuck.
Yeah.
Imagine the way she's looking at you.
Like, God damn, you're just getting in.
I'm sitting here being a mom this whole time.
Three in the morning.
You're dumbass.
You're fucking idiot.
Chose the wrong gender.
Anyway, that was fun.
What else we got going on, boys?
Yeah.
Oh, Akash, Akash, Akash.
So while we just had the most fun this whole weekend, Akash was on a journey for redemption.
Yes, I had to.
And you guys have heard the story before.
You want to set it up a little?
It is my greatest bomb ever, 2012, a show for just Indians, specific type of Indians called Kanak Catholics.
I go in there thinking, these are my people.
I'm going to crush.
I eat the biggest dick I've ever eaten for an hour straight.
Someone's literally falling asleep in the front row.
Horrible setup, et cetera, et cetera.
This time they ask me back.
They say, we've heard you tell this story.
We want to make things right.
So I'm like, okay, I'm going there and the setup needs to be great.
And if it's not, I might just take my fucking check and go home.
And they're like, fine.
So I fly down there the morning of and the setup is fucked.
I mean, they took none of the things that I asked for.
Wow.
I'm walking into, it's at the San Antonio Convention Center, whatever Gonzalez.
And I remember when I saw the address, they put me in a hotel and I assumed the show would be at the hotel, like four or five hundred people.
I'm at a convention center.
I'm like, that seems like a big room.
And they tell me on the way up, they're like, oh, we're expecting a pretty good turnout, like maybe 500, maybe even a thousand people.
I'm like, okay, cool.
I walk into the room, dead ass, I see 3,000 chairs.
This room is 100 yards long.
It's massive.
This is where Tony Robbins or Tony Roberts, whatever his name is, would give a speech.
The motivational guy?
It's a fucking arena side.
You're doing theaters at least if you're here.
You would do a show there and be like, all right, cool.
I can sell this out.
Like 3,000.
That's a lot of people, especially in a convention center.
There's like, it's just dumb high.
Horrible setup.
There's a 20-foot gap between me and the front row of the audience.
I sent Andrew a picture, a video.
I'm freaking out how big the room is.
So I start arguing with everything.
It looks like the NFL draft.
Dead ass.
Dead ass.
It's a massive room.
And if there's 500 people showing up, they're not going to all sit at the front.
They're going to go sit scattered everywhere.
It's going to be the worst show ever.
But they told you where it was the day of.
You didn't know.
They said convention center, but I don't know what room it is.
So I remember thinking, I'm like, they got like a small room in the convention center because last time it's in a hotel.
So I'm thinking, it can't be that much bigger.
I don't realize I'm 40 and 12 years have passed.
It's a way different thing now.
And what they did, they have like 3,000 people sign up for the conference and one of the event has, one of the events has everybody.
So they just have one room.
They set up chairs for that event and they're like, we're not going to change it.
So I start going fucking nuts, yelling at everybody.
I'm thinking about Andrew.
And I'm like, what I would normally do is just be like, all right, well, I'll just make the best show I can make out of this.
And then I'm like, no, fuck that.
So I start arguing.
They have two air walls.
One can cut off like 20% of the room.
That's great.
I'm like, okay, cool.
That's manageable.
They say we can do that.
There's another one that could cut off 40% of the room.
Now, if we can get that closed, we're cooking.
So I'm for four hours.
I'm arguing with everybody.
Close this fucking wall.
Close this fucking wall.
Finally, they kick it up the chain of command.
They're like, all right, we're going to give in.
We're going to close this wall.
Don't worry about it.
They move the whole night around.
20 minutes before the show, they're like, hey, we can't close that wall.
So I'm like, we still are going to have like 800 extra chairs probably.
Fuck, I got to try to make this work.
I'm not seeing the line.
And this was the cool part.
Kev was out there and he was like, man, I wish I taped it.
When they opened the doors, people fucking sprinted to get to the best seats.
Like it was a Black Friday sale or something.
So then I'm feeling a little better.
Oh, this is a good story.
No, it's a good story.
Fuck.
Damn.
So then I get on stage.
And the set isn't part.
It's a hard show to really crush in.
It's still a lot of kids who haven't really seen a comedy show.
It's still not a great setup.
I don't crush by any stretch, but I definitely don't bomb like I thought I would.
Yeah, yeah.
And it was an upgrade.
Yeah, it was a massive upward.
They were so hyped to see me.
It was the coolest fucking thing.
Every chair pretty much is full, which I was like, yo, they expected 500,000.
We got like 50,000.
Mad people came out.
Aunties were coming up.
And then after, dog, I got emotional.
Like when I went back, I got like mobbed.
Like, I felt like a fucking for 15 minutes, I felt like this is what a Bollywood star feels like.
Mad people trying to take pictures.
I'm just doing selfie, selfie, selfie.
So it ended up being a fucking awesome story.
And I'm really glad I went.
But if I went to 4th of July and then I just showed up right before the show, I would have eaten dick again.
So I ended up being a mess.
Like I'm so thankful to shout out to Jovan Thomas, who like I was on him all the time, calling, calling, calling, and he was, he was sending up the wrong thing.
In my heart, I'm happy that you got your redemption.
Yeah, yeah, I know you are.
But in my head, I know.
I wish you had a worse story.
That is friendship right there.
But in my heart, I am happy.
That is brotherhood.
I hope you sprain your back again.
You never get to play again.
I was thinking, literally, I swear to God, I told my wife.
You should have heard me just saying that.
I'm telling you, like this morning, I was like, I'm going to start playing paddle just so I can play with Andrew.
I know quality time means a lot to my friend.
I just realized this.
I haven't been doing that enough.
I'm going to learn paddle to play with him.
And now I hope you break your foot and I never have to play with you again.
Just that's what I hope.
In my head, my heart is saying something different.
I love you too, bro.
I love you too.
I love you, Doug.
Okay, so it worked out.
It was great.
It ended up being a fantastic experience.
I got to see my mom the day before, which was nice.
Did you come to the show?
No, I just flew down early trying to help them move and stuff like that.
But I don't ever get to see my folks anymore.
Black History Persecution00:03:20
Did you know a lot about this sect of I did not before the last show?
And now you've got a little bit more, but I was asking them stuff.
And I was like, so here's basics I know.
You guys really are only allowed to marry each other.
People call you inbred.
I know you're alcoholics.
I know like it started in like Syria.
And then they were like, the first two things are pretty much all you need to know.
Syria for it don't even matter.
So there's just a sect of Catholics that everybody that knows about them looks at and is like, they're weird.
And they're okay with that.
Because they're doing their own thing.
They're like, that's fine.
We get it.
Are there any distinguishing characteristics that we would know about them?
No, I can't even.
I know they're from Kerala.
So like we call them Malus because they speak Malayalam.
So every person that's Kannada Catholic is Malu, but not every Malu is Kannada.
They're like a section of, for whatever reason, they got, you know, converted this other way.
Right.
And I don't even, when I asked them what the other beliefs were, they didn't really have a good answer for me.
So I don't know.
Maybe they just didn't want to explain it to me 30 minutes before the show.
But yeah, if you see someone who looks like he married his cousin.
So this is like the Indian version of the curlies in Brooklyn, like that.
But Christian.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's how we look at them.
But they drink way more.
Oh, so they're fun.
They're drunk.
It sounds sick.
Like, how do I say this?
It seems like I wanted to say it was just Indians, but there's other places where they're like really good at like community and like maintaining community.
And is it just a Western thing where that is, for whatever reason, less important?
Or maybe.
You know what I think it is?
Hindus are not as good as other communities because you're persecuted less.
I think the more you get persecuted, the tighter you are.
Jewish people are very tight because they get persecuted every hundred years.
Sick people, my wife's side, get very tight.
They get persecuted.
So answer me this, though.
If you go to England and you go to like the north, there are these distinct cities that are separated by fucking 30-minute car rides.
Yeah.
But culturally completely different.
Yeah.
Like Liverpool and Manchester are how far?
From half an hour, an hour?
An hour and a half.
I don't know.
An hour, hour and a half.
Yeah.
They're like, they think that they are kholer opposites.
Somebody, I took an Uber from one city to the other for shows, and the guy was like, I never come over here.
I should.
He's like, Doug, it's an hour.
But so what does that like?
What unites, how do you get like a tribal aspect?
Is that just like thousands of years of history?
Yeah, probably thousands of years.
And then since America We're So Young, that exists when the tribal people come here, but the people that have been here for a while just start to kind of.
And probably back then when they formed the communities, you couldn't get there, was no cars to drive an hour and a half to Liverpool.
Right, so it really solidifies.
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
And then the black people here, unfortunately, are you know stripped from their past.
Yeah, and they get persecuted a lot.
So I think there's a lot of black people.
But also, some of your tribes might have sucked, and now you're like, you don't have to do that.
You know, we're all lit.
Come on, bro.
No, I don't know.
I mean, some tribes sold, y'all.
You know what I mean?
They're probably not lit.
I expect to double down.
I expect to double down.
The only way out, really.
That is an awesome form of marketing.
Like, who is who is like wipe that from the history books?
Music Industry Co-Signing00:15:27
What?
What part?
Sell the blacks selling the blacks.
No one wiped that.
You guys love to point that out every time.
Just me.
Everybody loves to.
Everybody loves to point that out.
But we still can't name a dude.
Like, we don't know who the biggest seller of black people was in Shifty's Leaving.
He's like, We also don't know the biggest buyer.
Yeah.
I think we do.
I mean, you know, the group, but we got to know.
Brazil.
I think they had the most, yeah.
And they were picking the fucking cream of the crock.
Because it was Brazilian, right?
Like, they didn't do much.
Jesus.
Right.
Well, because they were so hot.
Yeah, true.
You just got the hot.
The second they bent down to pick the cotton, they're like, what's up with that thing?
My back, son.
Hold on.
I pulled my back again.
That's why I'm bending down all the way to America.
Dear God, I got a pee real quick.
Okay, we take a little break.
And we are back.
It looks like the Apple Spritzes have begun.
We're not letting go of summer.
We are just beginning.
We're just getting started.
We're just warming up.
There's Zen dogs.
No, no, I got one.
You know, there's a Zen shortage in New York City.
I believe it.
People don't have Zins anymore.
I believe it.
What are they going to?
I'm just like vaping and shit, but also trying to get Zins on the low.
Now people are Zen dealing.
They got Zen dealers that are getting them wholesale, driving them in, and they're just slinging them for upcharge.
It's like masks during the pandemic.
Yeah.
Type shit.
Okay.
So we got to get our hand on some Zins.
I want to talk about this.
You saw the Not Like Us video?
Yeah.
What'd y'all think about it?
I mean, it's fire.
It's a fantastic video.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
I didn't like it.
I thought it was a little weak.
Really?
I thought it was like the metaphors were really overhanded.
Which ones?
They were like, say a line and then like act out the line.
It was like hide the Bible, something watching, and it's like, there's a Bible and I'll hide it.
Like it was so deliberate that I thought it took away, like the nice thing about showing something is that you don't also have to tell it.
Yeah.
And yeah, I don't know.
I just felt like there was a bunch of those moments where it was like very deliberate.
I thought it looked beautiful.
Kev said it was like, it just looks fucking clean.
Like the shipping containers, clean, white.
Also, there's a lot of that underhanded type shit, like the shipping containers.
If you're going to say Drake Traffic's in women, oh God, okay, well, there's some metaphor that I didn't see.
And maybe I'm just like a fool looking at, but there's a few lines that I thought were like, and the actual line that he raps is showcased, the action is showcased at the exact same time.
And I thought that that was just a little some of this stuff I for how elegant he is when it comes to like his metaphors and how artistic he is with his rapping, I thought it was quite pedestrian like an old school Eminem video.
Yeah, where it's just like every little part.
Yeah, it's like Pam Anderson is here and then Pam Anderson pops up.
Like, yeah, yeah.
I guess the reason why I was a little underwhelmed was because the concert, and I thought this was just going to be another one of those where he's breaking all of LA out and you were just going to see so much of LA, but a lot of it was just.
He brought every human in Compton up.
It didn't feel like a celebration.
It felt like it was, it's about me.
And then, you know, I'll flash to moments of where I show everyone else.
But on stage, that one big moment, like, I thought it was going to be more of that.
So I guess, yeah.
Oh, I thought this was a whole showcase of Compton and West Coast shit.
He did.
He definitely did.
Like in everything, there's a West Coast touch.
So some of this stuff, I don't know what's true and what's not.
Some of the stuff that's supposed to be more subtle.
Some of it, I for sure believe, like the guy who's wearing the wife beater and the overalls that Kendrick gives vibe to, he's dressed like the Metro, I think, and the like that.
Like when him and Future have the album cover.
It's like almost the exact same outfit.
There's some people that say the gray suit he wears in front of the shipping container looks very similar to the one R. Kelly wears in his interview when he's like, y'all killing me with this shit.
I don't know if that's real or not.
He does.
That would be weird.
Well, I think he's, again, if he's doing it, alluding to trafficking.
Him and his wife dancing.
Oh, that was fired.
Awesome.
That was fire.
That's like an allusion to the Family Matters, I think.
It's like 80 sitcom vibes.
It's like, oh, you want to talk old sitcom.
But if you're going to say this stuff about my wife, having her in the video with a wife beater is also a very funny touch.
Oh, okay.
That's good.
I think, I don't know if it has a CWAC or fucking whatever LA dance that is.
But she's chilling.
She's a good dancer.
And I think that was a direct fuck you to people who are going to be like, I think he's responding to me being like, it's not about Drake being white.
It's about being in touch with the culture.
And y'all are saying my wife is mixed race, whatever.
I don't care about the race.
It's the cultural aspect.
My wife is in touch culturally.
Crip walks on the hopscotch thing during the A minor line.
Yeah.
I don't need Helen to Cripwalk either.
And I don't know if she's Hoover stomping or Cripwalking or whatever, but she's doing some LA shit in that dance.
And I think it's like, it's not about the race.
It's about the culture.
She's a part of the culture.
You're not.
And releasing it on Independence Day, apparently, who do we get freedom from?
The colonizers on Independence Day, which I thought was fire too.
Yeah, no, yeah.
It's directed by Dave Free.
Oh, that's his boy.
Yeah, and at the end of the day, directed by Kendrick and Dave Free.
It was like the first thing that pops up.
Yeah.
Drake was saying that's like the bond mama, the baby daddy.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
I just saw it and I was like, I thought it was fine.
And I was ready for it to be majestic.
You wanted more artistry or like the subtle stuff that we know Kendrick to do.
It was almost like, hey, look, I have a good relationship with my wife and family.
I think you got to be overhand, heavy-handed with that.
I don't know if you have to because I think in a way, like showing that means that you feel you have to address it.
Yeah, I cannot.
You know what I mean?
It's like...
But when you're doing the victory lap, I don't mind him addressing it now.
Fair enough.
If he did it immediately.
He didn't have to address it during and that's going to hurt him.
That's a good point.
Yeah.
If it was like, if somebody says, you're gay, and you're like, I get so much pussy, like it's corny.
But if you win the battle and then you show off all the things you got, okay, I have to look at it through that perspective.
You got the Rosen in the video.
That was awesome.
That was a big move.
And I'm curious how Toronto will feel about that.
Because Toronto.
Again, this is something we talked about with Ack.
Everybody turning on Drake can't just be everybody being a Fairweather fan.
It can't just be that.
You know what I mean?
Like, if you got no allies left, it can't be that everybody sucks and you're good.
I will say this.
If there's one thing this weekend told me, is that Drake is going to be just fine?
I'm sure.
Just fine.
Is it?
Every time the Drake song comes on, everybody's saying every single word.
Like, it's still so much fun to dance.
The guy's got a catalog that's so fucking deep, it's untouchable.
Like, he's going to be just fine.
Like, in that aspect of things, yes.
But imagine being at the Michael Rubin White Party and people are taking their phones out watching Kendrick's video that just dropped.
Oh, that was actually happening.
Yeah.
That's that he's there.
That's why he looks so sad.
He looks a little sad in the picture.
Yeah.
Imagine.
It's also stressful, like, knowing if you invite Drake to any party, you have to tell the DJ he can't play this song, even though it's the song of the summer.
It's almost, yeah, it's like annoying, I guess, having Drake there in that regard.
But I think that this goes away.
Like the biggest raptess I ever remember was ether, right?
Nas absolutely lobotomized Jay-Z with ether.
Jay-Z is he was fine.
Yeah.
Jay-Z is fine.
It's fine.
Like, now, granted, the things Nas was saying were less sticky.
Yeah, there was very surface level.
You're gay, whatever, like that.
Like, calling someone a pedophile, and like, like that trend has seemed to kind of lock in.
Like, people are just thinking this of Drake, even though they know it's not real, it's real enough to where it kind of sticks.
It's to what we're saying, like, it's like the Clinton body count.
Like, is Hillary and Bill, like, are they like, if we're actually being serious, are Hillary and Bill like having a conversation where like, yo, murder that person?
And then, like, are they the ones that are shot calling?
And then there's like this big mafia fan.
Like, I doubt it.
Are they involved with people that maybe if these individuals release this information, it would affect more than Bill and Hillary?
And then maybe they ended up murking somebody.
Possible.
I don't know.
But I, I, again, again, I don't know.
But it is just accepted that Bill and Hillary got a list of bodies and they're out there murking motherfuckers.
And that's just, it's accepted.
But anytime you see Bill or Hillary, nobody's walking up and be like, you kill people.
They're like, oh my God, Bill, let me get a picture.
Like, so I wonder if this is just going to be a narrative that's accepted and goes along with Drake.
But when the music comes on, the music is crazy.
Drake the pop star is fine.
Drake the pop star is going to be okay.
People are going to sing along.
Drake, the greatest rapper ever, that took a hit.
Oh, and I would say that the verse that hurt, the accusation that hurt the most, like the pedophile stuff, most people are going to be like, that's so ridiculous.
It's so out there.
I just can't bring myself to believe it.
What I think will hurt him the most is the Atlanta verse.
The colonizer verse, I think, is the one that sticks to him the most.
Because Jay-Z, nobody ever was like...
That's a good point.
You didn't grow up in Bedstead.
You're not a part of the culture.
You didn't sell drugs.
Nobody questioned Jay-Z's authenticity ever.
Jake already, I mean, Drake already had that.
And now it's not only are you not authentic, you actually just used us to get ahead.
Where the narrative used to be Drake puts everyone on.
Now it's turned to Drake is using you to qualify himself so that we don't see him as a Jewish kid from Canada.
And that was a big flip.
That is a big, big flip.
The biggest flip in this whole thing.
Yeah, that's a great point.
The pedophile one is the, I mean, for lack of a better word, the most hilarious.
It's the most salacious.
It's the easiest one to pick on.
It's the easiest one to poke at.
But the actual damage could be done relationship-wise.
But at the same time, if you're a young and up-and-coming rapper and Drake wants to give you a feature, you're not saying no.
Like, who could say no?
No, no, but the people might look at it.
Here's a video of Anthony Edwards, who's, I think, from Atlanta, and he's like the coolest basketball player to Americans right now, rapping that third verse word for word to his homie holding the phone.
Like, check this out.
This is what he's saying.
You run to Atlanta with like, that perception is there now.
Yeah, that's a good ass point.
I think you said, or ACK, you repeated something AC said, but the Drake stimulus package is over.
Yeah.
Like, if ACK, his biggest fan, is saying that that's telling.
I think he's going to be fine, bro.
I know it sounds crazy, but I think this song will obviously run through summer.
By the end of summer, it's fine.
And then it just goes back into the songs that you've heard before.
You're a DJ.
You got to play 200 songs in a night.
You really not going to play Drake?
Right.
You really not going to play Drake.
You're going to play Drake.
This is hyperbolic, but again, this is hyperbolic.
But do we look at him in the same general galaxy as a Nelly?
Where it's like, yeah, I'm going to dance to your shit.
It's going to play at a club, but I'm not looking at Nelly as like a GOAT rapper.
No, I think we look at him as if.
And if you, we don't know what you wrote and what you didn't.
I don't even think people are caring about that that much.
Maybe I care about that more because we're comics and it's like such a thing.
Yeah, but like, I think, I think that's been out there.
And I don't think we care more about that now because of this.
Like, I think that's peaks.
Yeah.
But I do think your point about the, I'm just using these people for a cool stamp of approval, whereas we used to look at it as the biggest rapper in the world is co-signing.
Like, that's a great fucking point.
Yeah.
Because they cut off a channel for him.
Yeah.
And a channel that was really helpful.
And he has a bunch of other channels.
Yeah.
He'll be fine with those other channels, but that channel.
That was a big one.
And that's really necessary for someone in rap.
The streets got to co-sign you.
And he had that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's an interesting.
I don't know.
But I think like, I'm trying to find an equal example of someone else in music that went through something like this, but the music still prevails.
Like it's hard to say where the music still prevails because like Mike.
I mean, Michael had the worst.
He literally had that shit.
Like that's stronger.
I mean, Mike slaps no matter what.
That's true.
And Mike ain't write his shit.
You know what I mean?
Pop artists.
There's a different expectation.
Frank Snatcher didn't write his shit.
I get it.
100%.
But I think as time goes on, you remember how those Drake songs made you feel and they encapsulate a certain time in the same way food does.
Like pumpkin pie is Christmas and Thanksgiving.
It reminds you of being a kid and it's Thanksgiving and your grandma's there.
Whatever these things happen.
I think the same thing happens with music.
It just gets like intertwined with your life and how you felt in these certain times.
I'm sure that's why Taylor Swift is so huge.
She just fucking makes it happen.
And the more frivolous music, sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it just goes away.
And I think Drake has got those songs where you're just like, oh, this is how I feel.
And I'm fucking rapping this shit.
Yeah, I don't think anything hurts his back catalog.
It's just what happens moving forward.
Okay, fair.
Fair.
What about his standing as when you're talking about greatest rappers ever?
Where does he fall now?
This is generational.
If anything, he's never going to be higher than number two.
But like, isn't that, I agree.
I agree, but like only within your, I feel like that's within your generation.
You know, it's the same thing with like basketball.
Like these kids that grew up with LeBron, like they only think LeBron is the greatest.
They literally do not think Michael is.
And why would they?
They never saw Michael do what we saw him do.
And I think the same thing exists with music where it's just like this generation might go, all right, Kendrick was number one and Drake's number two.
And that's how they might remember it.
And that's totally fine.
But the next generation is already on someone else.
And they're like, yeah, Kendrick ain't number one.
And neither is Drake.
This guy is number one.
I don't know who.
You'll put that guy, then Kendrick, then Drake.
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then after another generation goes, you're not even talking about Kendrick and Drake.
So I think it's just you, you become, you wear the belt within your generation.
And then you have to just have to accept like it's going to move on.
None of these young kids consider Jay-Z to be the greatest rapper alive.
Our generation, there are very few people that don't think that he was wearing the belt.
He was number one.
So it's like, it's a kind of silly endeavor to chase for your life because it will never exist.
It's like being the greatest empire of all time.
Next Generation Rappers00:13:37
Oh, was Rome the greatest empire?
I don't fucking know.
Like, seems like America is.
Louis said a thing when he came on this pod.
He was like, the top of the mountain is not a place you're supposed to stay.
It's a place you go visit and then you get the fuck down.
I think he would say he'd probably try to stay up there too long.
But you go up there, you're like, hey, I got here.
Now let's get back down.
You're not setting up a home.
It's not your choice.
Yeah.
Get comfortable with that idea because you're not, people, you'll be there temporarily if you got there.
That's it.
That's all you can do.
And then some people can go twice.
Some people may even be able to go three times.
There are different people that have these different stages in their career where like they kill it, things are okay.
They have this resurgence.
That happens sometimes.
It rarely happens, but sometimes happens.
But whether this generation, like I think it maybe we remember this and we go, okay, yeah, it was Kendrick.
He was, he was the best.
But I don't think that we'll listen to Kendrick's music more now because of that.
Oh, you know, you know, like, yeah, short term we will.
But you guys make a good point.
Moving forward, what is this step forward?
I think he got to take the summer off, bro.
Like, just not.
I think he's doing like a.
Ack just tweeted something about how he's got some more heat on the way.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, dude.
Here's what I'll also say.
After the push thing, I remember we had just started Flagrant.
I came on as a guy who didn't like Drake.
And I was like, you know what?
I know Drake.
This is going to last like a month and he's going to be fine.
But it's cool to see him take an L because he had never taken an L.
I don't feel the same certainty that everything will be the exact same, if not better, very quickly.
I think I don't know if it's ever going to be quite the same.
Yeah.
He'll still be great.
Dude, Drake is a pop star.
He's going to make money.
He makes fucking great music.
Even me as somebody who says I hate him, like, I never would deny that.
But I do think largely the thing that he might have wanted, which is GOAT status, that might be out of reach now.
We might look at that and be like, nah, you're one and two in battles.
The other guy that we had you compared to, actually, there's two guys we had you compared to, and one of them made one quit before it even started.
And then he made us look at you differently forever.
It is an interesting, like, it's a, you can look at it from both directions.
You can look at it as a great lesson for, if you're following Drake's side, a great lesson, which is like, chase your art and create the projects you want to create.
But creating for approval, if you will, like creating just to have the top spot will often put you in a place that is inauthentic and that might cause you, it costs you everything.
And then you can look at the exact same thing from Kendrick's side and you can go, oh, he said, I want the spot.
And he took it and he reaped all the rewards for it.
It is a gamble.
It's a huge fucking gamble.
They could have subbed each other for the next 10 fucking years and it would have just been left up to the fans to decide.
And they went at it and they had a boxing match.
And now it's not left up to the fans.
Now it's left up to the history books.
I do wonder if I'm projecting some of my own feelings on Kendrick.
I think I like, you know, I think about Indian American culture, what it is a lot.
I think Kendrick feels that way about hip-hop culture, black culture, and he wants it to go a certain way.
I think he, I think he didn't like the direction it was going with Drake at the helm.
And he was like, we're ending that now.
It's not even about this spot.
It's about taking my culture in a direction I want to take it into.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it looks like he's got a dance album or a dance project coming out.
Like at least just like house music, EDM music with kind of music.
With who?
Kind of music.
It's who he did.
The Honestly Nevermind.
Yeah, Honestly Never Mind with Rock.
Kind music.
Kind of music.
How does he spell it?
K-E-I-N-E-M-U-S-I-K.
Is that different than kind music?
Well, it looks like the same word, but kind of means not in German.
Is that the same person that people were going to see Friday night?
Correct.
So they did, remember that Drake video where you see him like at the club in like the south of France or somewhere with like Rampa and me and you out in Port?
Is that one of his considered classic albums, Honestly Nevermind?
No, but it was Kendra.
He does something like that.
And he did it with like Gordo.
It goes global, though.
Yeah.
He saw that this is what people are fucking with, and he did it.
I like Drake for the moment.
I truly didn't know.
No, no.
Because I know he's got classics.
People say he's got multiple classics.
I didn't know that was one of them.
I'm surprised he's going that route because people didn't like it.
But isn't that the isn't?
Let's make the argument for why he would do it.
If I do my rappity rap shit, all people are going to do is compare it to Kendrick right now.
If I go in a different genre and I go to some other black music, they're going to call me the colonizer.
They're going to say that I'm leeching or using these people for approval.
Okay.
True.
If I go completely different direction, i.e., dance music or house music, whatever, I'm immediately the coolest person in dance music.
Like there's no one in dance music that is cooler than Drake.
I mean, except for David Guetta.
Shout out to his family.
But like, he's immediately the coolest, right?
Yeah.
So let me go to the place where I'm most celebrated, not where I'm tolerated, maybe get some hits going, maybe win over the summer on some dance tracks.
Now we're talking about that.
And especially we're talking about amongst a group of people that don't really care as much about rap beef.
If you out in Mykonos partying and you some European motherfucker that don't even understand half the words that Kendrick said, you're just saying the N-word to speed or whatever.
Exactly.
Shout out, Poland, bro.
And it's like, if you're doing that, he might be able to get some buzz, create still music, be cool amongst a group of people that don't really care as much about this beef.
Yeah.
This channel's wide open.
Like, to your point, this channel is fine.
And then if it works.
And if the last project was sub-par, it could only go up.
From here, yeah, actually.
And if it works, you at least maintain your buzz.
You don't win this battle, but you maintain your buzz, and you got people talking, you got people dancing, and they're connecting the times they're going to have this summer where they're going to be mollied out, they're going to be coked out, they're going to be partying and listening to Drake and all those good vibes that you're feeling while you're listening to stuff.
It's hard not to connect those two things.
And now we go into the fall and yeah, we remembered that fucking rough patch and all this weird shit.
Also, you're doing songs in countries where the age limit is like 16.
They don't even know what a minor is.
So they're not even making sense.
The vote is in minor.
Vat is a minor.
I don't understand Vance and Minus.
Vaz 16 is a problem.
The Philippines women's in 16 is all this problem.
So it's kind of the perfect.
This is so overblown.
This is blown out to propulsion.
He might have solved this problem perfectly.
Everybody did.
But this shit got to go.
He needs a couple bops off of this one.
So here's part of the video.
Do you want to hear?
Yeah, I think this is a Lee.
I haven't heard it yet, but this is an unfair.
This is an unfair listen.
This is an unfair listen.
Is this Britain and my Molly?
That's still in my music.
That is the thing about this music.
And I'm sure people who like you listen to it, you can hear the difference.
All this shit sounds the same.
It's that buildup, and then what they're playing from right now, it's Afrobeats.
And now they're mixing these DJs, mixing all of these Ethiopian or all Afrobeats don't sound the same.
I'm not watching Afrobeats.
Or like South African music, like all of that.
I hear you, but that shit is like kind of dope.
I don't get how a DJ creates buzz doing that.
Welcome to being old, Doug.
Yeah, it's a different style of music.
That's like white people back in the day going, yo, all rap sounds the same.
Yeah, literally.
This is what white people said about rap.
How welcome, dog.
Welcome.
What are they?
Just rap about guns and killing each other.
Damn, bro.
You go to the Hamptons one weekend and come back like this.
So I think it could be strategically, I think it's a smart move.
I think you get away from the rabbity rap shit right now.
Because even if you are doing rap and you're trying to talk, what are you going to rap about when you talk when you're rapping on the rappity rap shit?
I'm the best.
I'm the nicest.
I get all the bitches.
I got all the money.
And every reaction to that is going to be like, you second nicest.
Yeah.
You second nicest.
You know, yeah, maybe you get the bitches, but maybe future gets more bitches.
They might be young.
They might be young.
They might be your homies, bitches.
Exactly.
We don't.
We want to hear about love.
We want to hear about embracing.
We want to hear about sunshine.
We want to hear about sandy beaches.
Yeah.
I think it's a smart move.
I'm curious if it was even a move or it was just something in the pipeline that he has to go through.
It had to be.
Like, I wonder if he did this like a pivot.
He's got time to do that.
I think this is a pivot.
He's an incredibly savvy.
But what's he going to do this whole time?
He's going to be cooking up an album.
I don't know when this was recorded.
That's what I'm saying is, I think you're right.
It's like they had, they've been working on this for a minute.
Maybe they bumped it up, but you think you would want to hear for summer.
Yeah.
But him just cooking up a whole album with this kind of music guy immediately during the beat just seems.
And I don't know if it's a whole album or if it's just like a specific song or a couple songs or something.
I don't think that shit takes that long to make.
No, you might be right.
These motherfuckers be putting together songs on the spot and if shit sound fun.
Not like us was two months ago.
So he's had time.
He's at least eight weeks to just cook shit up.
You let that shit run for the summer.
You're not going to beat that.
When that shit comes on, it is a vibe.
It's over.
That shit is a vibe.
They got the remixes coming still, probably.
Yo, also, here's the thing that we need to discuss a little bit.
If you're a DJ, I don't need you having no fucking loyalty to a record label or none of it.
You won't fuck the night up with that shit.
Stop it with it.
If you're a DJ, you are a neutral party.
Switzerland.
Exactly.
You got a loyalty to the audience.
You have a loyalty to us.
Yes.
If you're a DJ associated with one label and you're only playing their shit at the party, it gets a little exhausting.
Yeah.
We need you to be able to diversify.
You got to play shit from the ops.
You got to play shit from the people you're with.
But mix it all.
Say again.
If that label hired them and they know where their biggest checks is coming to, hey, you do what you got to do.
Don't fuck up your bag.
Yo, party planner, stop hiring DJs that have loyalty to just one record label because it's going to make the party worse.
Objectively worse.
DJ Mustard might be, he might be the best producer in the world right now.
I wouldn't want to go to a party because he might be like, man, I can't play no fucking East Coast music or Drake or nothing.
Everybody at West Coast, a whole three hours.
It's going to be a whole, yeah.
Otherwise, I'm going to look like a sellout, or people are going to make videos of me playing a Drake song.
I don't want you to have to think about it.
I want you unencumbered with these thoughts.
Only person could do it is Metro Boom and the most talented musician on the planet.
He's the only person that could play just his hits, and it will be worth it, in my opinion.
He's got bangers.
Yeah, you're not wrong.
Have you heard Andrew Schultz go?
Yeah.
What I did with Waltz, yeah.
you too.
Nah, do you know what I'm saying about the hey what you say?
You can't have loyalty to the DJ.
I need you to be loyal to us and what we want to do.
The vibe.
You're loyal to the vibe.
We were at one party this weekend, and it was just one fucking label they're playing the whole time.
It wasn't even like a Drake Kendrick Beef.
It wasn't even that.
It had nothing even to do with it.
But it was so obvious that it was just one label that they're playing.
And it was, you felt it, right?
Yeah.
I'm looking at it.
I'm going, I'm going, what the fuck is going on?
And Al said to me, he's like, nah, he got to play this.
Look, he's part of them or something like that.
And the next song, same three fucking artists.
It's like when a comic has a political agenda.
He's like, oh, I know where you're going.
Every joke is liberal or every joke is conservative.
You're like, fucking eye roll.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We should DJ.
They should put us in charge.
We was trying, bro.
We were trying.
He closed out the party.
I didn't do it.
I didn't.
I was showing the songs.
He was getting tight, bro.
I was showing songs to y'all.
I suggested one.
He was like, I played that one already, but I'll play it again.
That shit is disrespectful, though.
I do feel bad doing that, but I feel worse listening to the same fucking songs on it.
So I had to step in there.
Yeah, yeah.
It was for the sake of the party, man.
Yeah.
And the music was too loud, too.
So loud.
So loud.
I had to put my earplugs in.
Oh, God.
I was bugging out, dude.
You can't.
I don't want to have a hearing damage just because I'm standing near a speaker.
Did you really put your earplugs in?
Yeah.
So gay.
He rips up napkins and then he shoves them.
He is right.
I mean, my ears are ringing for hours when I go home, bro.
I was just that Brazilian girl screaming no.
No.
Well, imagine your earplugs, right?
Bro, your honor.
I have napkins deep in my canal.
Okay, listen, if we got to do some patadioni, come join us on Patreon.
We'll tell you all about Dove's Brazilian Night Out, the actual night in, if you will.
