What is a 50/50 Household?
00:01:07
Speaker
man. I just think that you're cool Cool cool I just want to say everybody we've been good before we start off with this episode everything be good everybody Yeah, we've been cool, man. Oh Hey, man
00:01:27
Speaker
I just want to say Lakers in seven, but we'll go ahead and keep on going for the sake of one of our members on here. So I want to fan him a little too much. We got we got we got a good episode here today. So we got a couple of really fun topics. Viewer discretion is advised. So our first topic is going to be all views on a 50 50 household.
00:01:51
Speaker
Does it work? I'm going to start with you first, man. What is your opinion on views on the 5050 household?
Cultural Norms and Gender Roles
00:01:57
Speaker
Do you think it works? I think 5050 is definitely a popular topic, especially on social media and our culture today. You know what I'm saying? And I think that it depends on
00:02:19
Speaker
what fits for everybody. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like as a man, you expected to, you know, bear more, most of the load and you know, that's based on
00:02:32
Speaker
just what we used to, you know, and what people in our past have done, our families and ancestors and stuff like that. And so we feel forced to stick to those same, you know, same norms. And a lot of times that might not work for you or that might not be best for you, you know what I'm saying? And as a man, you really tasked with, so they say you tasked with providing and you tasked with, my bad y'all, I'm high.
Defining a 50/50 Household: Fairness Debate
00:03:18
Speaker
We expected to bear most of the load or all of the load in some situations and I think that that is
00:03:41
Speaker
Hey, why are you coming back, bro? Can we define what the 50-50 household is? What is that? Did y'all put 50-50, everything down the middle, 50-50? No. So, from my understanding, yeah, it's like, it's financial cost, isn't it? So, I just speak from my experience. 50-50 is kind of like a misnomer, you know?
00:04:07
Speaker
or word of the day for people who don't know this number, but it's not it's not exactly that you've you literally calculate every single thing and split it 50 50 to the to the penny in the nickel. But it's more like you divide like the financial responsibility of the home as best as you can, either like as even as possible, which means you have a shared account and you pull the money into it or
00:04:34
Speaker
you split the bills and maybe that's not like 50 50 in terms of like dollar amount, but you split in the responsibility across the board between the two parties or as percentage based.
Equity vs. Equality in Household Finances
00:04:45
Speaker
Like if you make a certain amount of money more than the other person, other person, like the percentage that you pay, you know, is, is relative to the income that you have, but it's still like 50 50 in the sense that both people are putting in, you know, into the finances of the home level field. That's kind of how I understand.
00:05:03
Speaker
50-50. But I mean, I'm sure there's some petty niggas out there that are like literally counting pennies and they're like, yeah. Oh, I'm sure they exist. But isn't what you described the second part? Isn't that what everybody does? No, I think that the whole debate about 50-50 is that men are expected to be 80-20 or 90-10 instead of 50-50. And they think that 50-50 is sometimes
00:05:31
Speaker
equated to, oh, my 50 is less than your 50. It weighs less than your 15. Your 50 is really weighted more ahead. But it's 50 50 because we both doing what we're supposed to do. But I think that you can't really necessarily
00:05:46
Speaker
evaluate each task the same. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, there are some tasks that women may do more, but they may be better equipped for that. And men may be better equipped for certain tasks as well. And I think that the really base of it is back in the day, men, you know what I'm saying? We lived in like a patriarchy, bro. So men dominated. And so therefore, we had more opportunity to go and earn money.
Power Dynamics in Relationships
00:06:15
Speaker
And so therefore we were better equipped to be the provider of a household. And so when people think about providing, they just think about finance and money and stuff like that. But providing is providing leadership, providing decision-making for your household and stuff like that. So sometimes that may lead you to not be the primary winner of household. Like, bro, say you was Dayton Taylor Swift.
00:06:38
Speaker
You know, you date Taylor Swift and nobody get married. And you got a regular job, you make $100,000, you think you the shit, she make 10 million.
00:06:47
Speaker
Would it be smarter for you to try to compete with Taylor Swift to say that you're the breadwinner and feel like a man? Just like, ah, you know what I'm saying? I pay all the bills. Nah, you know what I'm saying? It would be smart for you to get behind Taylor and find a way to, you know what I'm saying, benefit her in whatever way she could do, like, you know what I'm saying? Whether it's management, whether it's agent, whether it's
00:07:10
Speaker
finance, accounting, how do we invest your money? You know what I'm saying? Like my job, I specialize in investment. So I'm going to try to be the best, you know what I'm saying, investment manager of your portfolio instead of trying to compete with you.
Cultural Perspectives on Financial Roles
00:07:26
Speaker
That's dope. And I think, to your point, Mattias, too, I think, well, first of all, I think it's crazy because I feel like black people are the only ones that really had this conversation. And I think every black person really just secretly wants to hold on to that money for themselves to be completely 100. I think a lot of people like you write with the traditional sense of the PRTR, which are your system and how men are traditionally providers and things of that nature.
00:07:55
Speaker
That's what, quote unquote, makes a girl get in her soft era when she doesn't have to feel as masculine or do the traditional task of a man. But also, you get into the debate of traditional men, racist traditional women, and what we are now in modern society. But just personally, I think if
Marriage vs. Dating: Financial Responsibilities
00:08:16
Speaker
you're married, if we're married, then by all means, I'm going to take care of house and home. But if we're just dating and we're just shacking up,
00:08:26
Speaker
We, we, this ain't for everything. So I don't think I need to put forever a forever down payment on what I'm, what I'm spending at that point, just being nine. Yeah. If I put a ring on it, man, like no question whatsoever. Yeah. I think now I understand like apartments, like if you, we come and you stay in my apartment and I'll pay my bills. Yeah. I'm keeping my bills. Like I ain't tripping about nothing. You can,
00:08:54
Speaker
and go get some groceries or something like that. That's cool. Like as far as like buying a home, like actually purchasing a home, like something that expected out of marriage or stuff like that. I think that that should, should be, you know, a dual arrangement. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, cause at the end of the day, bro, if I bought a home,
00:09:11
Speaker
And I'm the only one that put in on it.
Financial Collaboration in Home Buying
00:09:13
Speaker
And I'm the only one that was paying the bills. If we get divorced, I'm going to put that home. But it don't work like that. I can't make it like that. You know what I'm saying? It's stupid of me to go in and be like, I'm going to go 100-0 on this. And I don't have no way to say that you contributed equally or somewhat. And it's not necessarily about equality. It's about equity, bro.
00:09:34
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? Quality is just, we put in the same amount. I put in 100,000, you put in the crank thousand. I don't got to be like that because I understand like, you know what I'm saying? It is still, it's a little bit different. Like, yeah, there's women that's out here getting to it, but a lot of times, man, it's still the high earns. And so, yeah, if you make 200,000 and your wife make 50, you know what I'm saying? You're not going to put it in the same amount. But if you make 200,000 and your wife make 100
Equity in Marriage Finances
00:09:58
Speaker
,000,
00:09:58
Speaker
That's $300,000. Y'all got a lot more spending power to go and do some versus her talking about, I'm going to just keep my money and you just put in your $200,000 because you're making a flight. I just think that's stupid.
00:10:10
Speaker
Amen to that brother. No, I, I just, you know, for me, you know, my opinion only where the whole 50 50 thing, like, say for instance, like, you know, you're both starting out, you know, you kind of building a foundation together, you know, and you know, things are a little bit harder as you're starting out and you know, to work, you know, you might have to balance it a little bit.
00:10:29
Speaker
you know but uh but yeah once once you're both doing good i i just always wonder like man why is the 50-50 thing you know is it why is it a topic you know y'all both earning money y'all both putting their money together y'all both earn money together and i would at least hope uh you know you know you're married but if not you know
00:10:48
Speaker
you guys are at least contributing the stuff together. So my whole thing is, after some point, it's like, why do I give a deal about this whole 50-50 thing? We both putting in money, we both putting in the effort, and it's building up together. So I
Economic Realities and Expectations in Relationships
00:11:01
Speaker
think the whole matter of just where there's so much emphasis on this and dumb as hell, man, I just don't get it. It's like, who gives a fuck about that? And to talk back to that, I think it's like going to traditional values and things like,
00:11:18
Speaker
traditionally men were providers and things of that nature. And so if you, you know, in your vows, you say you protect and provide, you know, I think that's what like is expected of a lot of women. But also I think too, not to, not to say like, I fall into this place, but like through, through statistics of today, a lot of the earnings that are expected of a man,
00:11:45
Speaker
aren't necessarily coming about with the career positions that they have because it's like, this is like saying like a lot of millennials aren't earning enough to live in this city or that city. So a lot of expectations that are put upon them are a bit, like they're a bit unfair to be honest. So it just kind of creates like a
00:12:10
Speaker
If you guys took a whole conversation and system of just like, damn, am I making enough? Am I doing enough? I got to step it up at this point so I can at least fit to the standards of today's woman.
Financial Planning and Joint Goals in Marriage
00:12:22
Speaker
But that's not to even speak negatively about women whatsoever. I really wish we had a woman to speak on this as well, because I would love that perspective.
00:12:30
Speaker
And I think we would have to on that topic. But based off what you just said, though, there, that's another thing that I think that's something that's not brought up a lot is that the way that the economy is nowadays, it can't really unless you earn a lot of money to be able to work off of one income, it's really not possible to work off of one income.
00:12:52
Speaker
And so that's where I also just think of like, okay, you know, at the end of the day, we got to survive. We got to have a roof off our heads. We got food in that fridge and, you know, whatever else comes with it to where we could be able to continue to make money.
Challenging Stereotypes in Financial Roles
00:13:04
Speaker
So my whole thing is just, okay, at that point, if we're just surviving, you know, we're trying to make it. What is the point of the argument after a certain point? You know, you got to be able to live and you got to be able to have money to do it. If y'all both can contribute that, there's no need for the argument.
00:13:21
Speaker
But now I do say for me, and this is my part of thing, yeah, when I'm able to be able to have the money to be able to take care of everything, sure, I'd be glad to take care of that.
00:13:36
Speaker
um you know my wife she'll have like you know whether you know money we can be able to help you know make the house better or having a savings put investments whatever just to be able to get us making where we have more money have better investments more money it just it it needs to build after a certain point but staying standing where you're just arguing over it it just it just makes no sense to me
00:14:01
Speaker
I agree. Getting money shouldn't be a gender role, man. You know what I'm saying? Like, women can get money. Like, for real, like, ask, bro. So that's
Financial Independence and Health in Relationships
00:14:09
Speaker
women I heard getting to it. Women can invest. Women can handle finances. Women can, you know, do bookkeeping and management, especially say, I think, bro, just for me, bro, with the industry that I'm in and the knowledge that I get, like, I understand all these different things about investments and about, you know, retirement accounts and tax savings and stuff like that. So when I just think about,
00:14:30
Speaker
a power couple, you know what I'm saying? I don't just think about a woman that stays homes and doesn't earn, you know what I'm saying? Like, you can stay home and not earn, don't get me wrong, you know what I'm saying? If you only stay home and...
00:14:43
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? Home school your kids. That's powerful. You can't go to the house. Yeah. If your woman does stay home and take care of the household, you can't put a price on that. But men take care of the household too. You got to repair some shit once some shit go wrong. You got to mow the grass. You got to maintain the household. It's both. You got duties that are to the marriage and to the home. But I think that
00:15:05
Speaker
you should just put this stereotype that a woman can't be at home and make money, you know what I'm saying? Or she can't go out and have a career and, you
Financial Benefits of Marriage
00:15:14
Speaker
know, be powerful at that. Cause like, bro, say y'all got, y'all both got a business, right? And y'all got, um, get your LLC and you start a business and y'all don't have any employees and there's just two women, women or, you know, just spouse and spouse.
00:15:30
Speaker
You got some kind of solo 401k, you could save like 50,000 each, you know what I'm saying? Between the both of y'all. But if only one of y'all is working, you know what I'm saying? Then it's not as much that you could save. And so like, it's just powerful stuff like that to where
00:15:47
Speaker
Maybe the decision for a man to say, Hey, you know, my wife don't necessarily got a, it's not, it's not competing bro. It's like, you know what I'm saying? The way I grew up, bro, my parents is like, our money is each other's and stuff like that. You know what I'm saying? But it's not necessarily about competing. It's just about contributing and being able to get those types of benefits to where you can double your savings in a solo 401k or another one. If you sell a house.
00:16:15
Speaker
And you can get $250,000 in capital gains on your house tax free, but you can get 500,000 if you're married. So like, I think marriage has got a lot of financial benefits.
00:16:25
Speaker
I don't think that it's all for the husband to be like, oh,
Survive or Thrive Financially?
00:16:29
Speaker
that's all on me. You don't got to take on that burden by yourself. Like you said, bro, it costs a lot. It costs a lot in today's society to be able to do that by yourself. I think 200,000 upwards, you know what I'm saying? You could do it on less, but you talked about surviving, Jack, you know what I'm saying?
00:16:46
Speaker
Do you want to survive or do you want to thrive? You know what I'm saying? Are you building a legacy or are you just trying to maintain?
Teamwork in Marriage Finances
00:16:52
Speaker
Either or. You know what I'm saying? Everybody goals is different, bro. But for me, bro, I wouldn't just put it on myself to say, hey, no matter what, I'm going to be the only motherfucking that's out. My bad. I ain't mean to be the only motherfucking that's out there, bro. But I ain't trying to make my own progress. I'm glad about this episode too, because
00:17:12
Speaker
Just disclaimer for everybody that know Mattias, he is very, very intelligent and very smart, despite the stuff that y'all see on social media.
Importance of Financial Education
00:17:21
Speaker
So I'm glad we got the chance for you to display your knowledge and the stuff that you talk about and you're talking about like investments and things of that nature and creating like generational wealth. So I'm glad you're able to showcase that link in college prep education. We come from the prep and it's different.
00:17:42
Speaker
Hello. Hello. I heard doing what you want to do and doing different stuff, bro.
Social Media's Influence on Relationship Perceptions
00:17:51
Speaker
I love that, bro. Yeah. Can I say something on this topic though? I feel like
00:18:05
Speaker
I feel like at a certain point, like I agree with everything that y'all been saying. I feel like there's other element here, like social media, like influencer environment has created this image or just like how relationships are supposed to operate. And I'm not a slave, bro. And I'm, I'm not going to be a grown woman's parent. Like it shouldn't be the other way around either.
00:18:29
Speaker
My wife shouldn't be my parent. There's no benefactors in a relationship, bro.
Sweat Equity and Non-Financial Contributions
00:18:38
Speaker
If you up, then you do what you need to do, obviously. But also, there's a such thing as sweat equity to me in any relationship. Both parties got to put in work to some degree, and what that work looks like between the parent. Y'all can mediate that. But I feel like social media has just created this image of just
00:19:00
Speaker
The man is like the provider on like every single level and you got dudes who are really ass out like, you know, working, working in some ways like dead end jobs, just not making a whole lot of money for them. And they got these expectations of like, they're supposed to, you know, pay this and pay that and take care of this, take care of that.
00:19:19
Speaker
You got somebody else in a relationship just like stacking a bread and you know, who's like a RE making six years. So it's splurging on itself. And it's just like, that's, that's not a, that's not a union at that point. It's not a marriage. It's not a relationship. Like I'm taking care of you in that reality. And so it's just like on, on like, on a, on like an emotional sweat equity level. Like, are you putting in, are both parties putting in work to like maintain
00:19:46
Speaker
integrity of the relationship because if i feel like my whole existence and value is just work work work work work you know to to stabilize this union and you could also be doing that and kind of have to in like this society is the way what inflation is going and just like but you're not and it's just like yeah i see you breaking your back and you know fucking killing yourself and depressed when you come home and shit
00:20:12
Speaker
but I'm a chill, go make this money, like, what the fuck, like, that kind of, that's like, right, like, my fucking, my fucking type of tension is dying from heart attacks, like, getting disabled at a young age, just like dying from stress, suicide, all kinds of shit.
00:20:32
Speaker
And I think that's the end. That's facts. And a lot of that attest to, I feel like, you know, our ancestors, you know, our grandfathers would be like working like in the industrial age, coming back from working the railroads, coming back from working the factories. 80 hour week. You know, as long as you're bringing in money, man. But even on that end, like that was that was during a time when like women legally cannot work like in those spaces.
00:21:00
Speaker
You know, and so it's like, to me, it's like, does Jay-Z and Beyonce had his conversation? Is Beyonce ever looking at Jay-Z and being like, you paying for everything, I'm stacking my shit? You don't know, maybe she's buying islands too. Like, what are we talking about? And that's... You can imagine, like, with their budget, like, what them conversations are like, for real, for real.
00:21:23
Speaker
And then just to regard the whole race thing, is Travis Kelsey baggage Taylor Swift for anything? Are they having no conversations? No. He probably the fluid out of himself for real, for real. Exactly. So she's like the last thing I'm going to say. Best into something that Taylor got going on. He recognized that Taylor got
00:21:47
Speaker
more emotion than him. And that's cool. You know what I'm saying? That don't mean that he don't got no emotion or that he not a man. I think you respect a man that is more intelligent in his decisions than more emotional. And I think that pride is one of the emotions that man got the words, bro. Like it's a double S word for us, bro. You know what I'm saying? You could walk in your pride and be proud and do things and conquer things, or you can be too powerful and
00:22:13
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? Be conceited and your ego is overinflated and you start doing shit that's out of character or stupid shit or shit that's not thought through. And for you to tell, for you to tell Tay Tay, take a back seat. I got this. I'm going to get this money for us. That's shit. Like, you know, got motion, bro. I am over that. What you need? What do we got to do to, you know, who do we need to hire? I might not even know everything, but
00:22:39
Speaker
I bet you I'm going to be in charge of all ancillary services. Like anything that's important to his career, bro. I'm handling that. You know what I'm saying? So damn, my niggas say ancillary services. You gotta be on that bro. Like, and I think a wife should be the same thing. So my wife might not necessarily go and get money. You know what I'm saying? But she collected just like I'm collecting like,
00:23:08
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? Cause I want to have that relationship to where what's mine is yours and you know what I'm saying? Whatever vice versa and shit, but it gotta be, gotta be somewhat symbiotic. Like bro, like we both gotta be benefiting not just each other, but the marriage, you know what I'm saying? The union, you know what I'm saying? What are we building like a legacy? You know what I'm saying? And so I just think that bro, I think people, like you said, bro, Corey brainwashed, bro,
00:23:39
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? By that internet, bro. Yeah. They see a lifestyle and they're like, oh, but like that lifestyle don't fit your situation.
00:23:53
Speaker
And it's not realistic. I just, you know, situation at hand, cause you could be down one moment and then up the other or reverse, you know what I'm saying? So like, as long as you're realistic and like logical, so like your situation, make it make sense. One last thing. I want to hear what Steph got to say. I was, I was going to say is just like, I feel like
00:24:20
Speaker
The people who espouse this whole, and it's men and women, it's not just women saying this, but the people who are gung-ho, the man is the provider, and every single financial sense, it don't matter your level, it don't matter who making the most bread in the relationship, it don't matter the responsibilities, nothing, it's just the man does everything, and the woman just
00:24:43
Speaker
Exists or whatever. I feel like the people that have that understanding of a relationship are either perpetually Single they perpetually divorce Or they they in a relationship where they can talk a lot of like, you know big shit online But they really they really depressed and like yearning for for a lot more like interpersonally with their own partner So that's kind of how I feel about it. Just like be careful. You take advice from because a lot of these people are
00:25:10
Speaker
that are talking about relationships, not really in relationships to even have that kind of perspective. So I need purpose in everything, bro. Step was your opinion, man. You've been quiet down there. I'm not plugged into the conversation that has been going on in social media. What y'all been talking about? Cause I'm going to be honest, bro. Who is going to be comfortable with a 90, 10, 80, 20 situation?
00:25:36
Speaker
I mean, it's only going to take me. There are, though, is some dudes out there to that. Let's go. I've been waiting my whole life. But I need to wake up. If you're in an A20 situation, get out, bro.
00:25:53
Speaker
When y'all grew up, you know when your first date you thought you had to pay right? Yeah Like you know I'm saying and when you was growing up for prom like I got a front the tickets bro Like all through when I was young bro. I had that mindset like I Got the tickets for free
00:26:29
Speaker
But when you're young, you got that mindset though, like, you know what I'm saying? You think that's what is manhood, you know what I'm saying?
00:26:35
Speaker
I got everything because it's a protected mindset. But once you grow up and you get outside your ego, like I said, bro, you start to say, bro, my wife could be an asset, bro, in her own right. You know what I'm saying? To this family, to this business, bro, everything is about families out here, bro. I think family is so important that you really got to be careful what you base your shit on. All right, either football players, for example. You know what I'm saying?
00:27:04
Speaker

00:28:36
Speaker
I'm trying to get put on the same, same should be vice versa. You know what I'm saying? Especially if it's like, bro, if it's a business, bro, like, especially like, why wouldn't you want to learn your family business so that if something does happen, which we just talked about it, bro, shit happens, bro. Like people die early. Why would you want to just be left alone to not know how to maintain none of it? Cause you got to maintain, bro, especially with lifestyles, bro, that people expect them nowadays, bro. You got to be able to maintain and have income.
00:29:06
Speaker
And if you don't know how to run that business, you know what I'm saying? You ask out. So it's just like this one. All right, y'all. Well, hey, I'm going to cut us off on this one. We're going to move on to the next topic.
00:29:21
Speaker
Eatin' ass or girl's, whichever. Is it too freaky for the young guys or is it just a grown man thing? I'ma go ahead and let you start with that one too, man. Yeah, I can't call him a grown man thing, but I ain't niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas niggas
00:29:44
Speaker
Like it's simply crazy. You can just, I just think it's crazy work though, bro. Like where's my bro? You don't eat where you sit at bro. Like I thought that was just simple shit that we grew up growing too. You know what I'm saying? I think that as kids, bro,
00:30:05
Speaker
It's no not to eat ass. They look at you like what? Like Hey bro, so like the big keeper the G bro You down there you driving down a tank, you know I'm saying
00:30:33
Speaker
You didn't, you didn't kind of swerve just a tad bit. I was going to ask that too. You didn't just swerve a tad bit like you didn't know you was swerving, but you was, you was down in that area. You know what I'm saying? Attraction control. You know what you doing? You swerving, bro. You swerving on purpose, bro. A slippery road.
00:30:58
Speaker
Man, this is all wheeled drives guitars, man. No.
00:31:07
Speaker
You know drove in that in that Kansas City snow, but sometimes that all-wheel drive don't protect you man you still You know saying drunker I don't even be on all type of shits when they lost and they get into it So, you know saying if you just worked off-road, but you got back on straight. I
00:31:33
Speaker
You good? You know what I'm saying? But niggas that swerve intentionally, y'all drunk, bro. Like, I don't know that, bro. I think that fellatio is enough. You know what I'm saying? Like, if you ain't got your fellatio down packed, then yeah, you got to swerve off into the grocery section. You know what I'm saying?
00:31:58
Speaker
I ain't got the problem, bro. Hey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pose this question to the Merryman. Like y'all can be as candid as you want or not. Is that in your repertoire? No.
00:32:23
Speaker
Thing is I'm a straightest for the record. I I'm as man. I love I love I love But the thing is no, I'm not eating that shit Mine to go there's nothing that is advertising about those line. Oh, yeah I'm like, well y'all might just eat some chitlins man. What the hell? Chitlins, bro
00:32:51
Speaker
For myself, I don't do this bro. I swear bro. So yeah, I just realized bro people I heard different, bro. That's People shit out their ass and I don't get it, bro. I ain't never in my life thought you can clean the ass that much
00:33:14
Speaker
You're still meeting people out here. Bro, if you had one, bro, I think people should just ask theyself this question. If you had two buckets, and you cooked in one bucket, and you sit in the other, would you feel that you can clean the shit bucket enough for you to cook out of the shit bucket? And you cook it, and that's cool, eh? I'll probably tell you, bro, I got one bucket for cooking, and I got one bucket for sitting, bro. And I can't never clean or match them buckets up or nothing.
00:33:53
Speaker
You know, in all realness, I don't partake, but just to be devil's advocate, I'm gonna pose this, you know.
00:34:07
Speaker
I've heard that there are ways to clean, to refresh, to do, et cetera, et cetera. And the argument that I've always heard in response to like the naysayers of eating groceries that the, you know, that, you know, performing fellatio on a man, you know, urine, you know, kind of the same situation, the vaginal canal close to the anus.
00:34:37
Speaker
you know, just a couple degrees of separation. So I'll put it, I'll put it like this, man. Like in the context of like driving off road versus swerving. Yeah. Have I swerved before? Sure. Even the greatest drivers have swerved before. Fucking Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the swerve before. I ain't going to lie and say I ain't swerved before, but
00:35:06
Speaker
in terms of driving the course off road, you know, I'm a street driver. I don't, I don't like going off road that much. You know, it's a little, it won't fit my style. I like a smooth ride, but I'm going to just put that out there to y'all. Like is it, is it the cleanliness factor or is it just like the perception that people sit down?
00:35:31
Speaker
They ain't a perception, bruh. I'm sorry. I do the same, bro. People are shitting out their ass. It's a reality, bro. The same reality. I realized that, like I said, bro, it's different out here, bro. Matrix, whatever you want to call it.
00:35:56
Speaker
Different different, uh, what's the uh, shit going on multiverse, you know what i'm saying? So maybe in the multi-verse they stay eat ass and you don't say now perform number fellatio, but I mean i mean in the multi-verse it's a version of you that you ask bro, right probably is only fuck a dude like that though For real with you
00:36:18
Speaker
to be for real with you, bro. He probably a different type of dude. You know what I'm saying? But I pause this. I know what you said, like that. Yeah, you know, same people say you urinate out of your, you know, your penis or your vagina. I'm choosing that over shit. Blood over sick.
00:36:43
Speaker
Another question to be for real for real. I was uh, I was talking to this uh young lady recently and she was telling me like when a woman like What how do I want to put it when a woman is like on sprinkler that's urine that's night Oh, yeah, that's your and so it kind of concerned me Because I didn't I didn't I didn't ran the sprinkler a few times, you know, I'm saying I'm just like bro I'm experiencing or like what in like
00:37:14
Speaker
It just bothered me cause I'm not, I'm not like an artillery kind of nigga. Like I'm, I'm not, I'm not with the piss, bro. The sprinkler. No, it's my squirt. Sorry. When you went there, I was thinking like, wait, I was like that bro. It definitely be P for real. For real.
00:37:45
Speaker
Well, oh man, hey be like that bro Steps
00:38:01
Speaker
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not. That's just, no, I'm gonna type out of this. Who was I to do with this conversation, bro? Who was I to do with this topic? Hey, it was just, it was on the marquee, man. What do you think about it? Do you think it's too free for your guys or it's a girl bad thing? What do you think about it? More power to the people who do it, bro. That's all I'm gonna say.
00:38:30
Speaker
Hey, let me ask. Let me ask you this question. If you're married and your wife was like, Hey, let's try this. Oh my gosh. Would you be, would you be up for it? Or like, you just like, nah.
00:38:54
Speaker
How long have I been dating this woman? For this to come out as a brand new wife. He said he marries him. He marries me. Shit. Hey, bro. I don't think I could do it. I couldn't do it. OK. No commitment. I'm going to say this, though. I feel like it's a lot of dudes that say they don't need ass.
00:39:21
Speaker
They lying, niggas be. They just came, bro. They just don't want to admit it. It'd be like that. It was like that when you was young and you know what I'm saying? You start eating, you know, saying the cat, like everybody was scared to say they did it. But see, I was young and I was already was into that. So I'm like, oh, you know, I'm super freaky. That's why I find out people. I can't compete.
00:39:47
Speaker
Like so apart when you hurry like dudes out here eating ass like that I thought was a joke This game be real bad Wearing the I love boobies I saw Kevin Gates say what he sounds like it's really out here to eat that as well Kevin Gates is a freaky dude. He different
00:40:15
Speaker
that this is the only one that didn't know the different that the the the the the the the the the the
00:40:47
Speaker
Wow. Hold that dope. I think we definitely wear out this. Anybody else got any more? Any more shit on this? Literally. Got it, bro. We can go. We gonna move on to this next topic, man. Hold on, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, Jack. I do got one more thing to say. Okay, go ahead.
00:41:12
Speaker
I just want to, and this is just speculative on my part, but I just want to know like, do it actually feel good for a woman or whoever and like the dude actually enjoy it. Cause I don't know. Like, you know, when you, when you want to totally and like you flush sometimes that little splash hit you, that shit's uncomfortable, bro. Like that don't feel good to me.
00:41:43
Speaker
Bro, I don't want to stay for that. So I just got the mentality Yeah, I think it feel good for them look bro Yo, yeah, I miss do guy like no saying hello nerves. So like you think about it like when you see it's kind of relieving, you know I'm saying so like I heard they probably do like you may say it and that's cool and all but
00:42:08
Speaker
Hey, my wife asked to get her ass ate. We can fall out, bro. We come to that, bro. We can fall out, bro. To be for real. I ain't got any. I ain't got any to do, bro. So what I'm hearing is, always on DS, we're not cosign eating the groceries. Y'all are hilarious, man.
00:42:39
Speaker
All right. Nah, you know, you always hear this question, which I'll eat Beyonce. Her booty? No. For a chance to hit, is there somebody who you would do it to? No. I made it, bro. Honestly, I would give a thought to that. That's it versus a fake one. You know what I'm saying? If you want to know the undercovers. I'll do it for Beyonce.
00:43:06
Speaker
That's like you find out the fake niggas, they'd be like yeah, I do it for Beyonce I do Rihanna. That's just Rihanna though. I'll put this all of the niggas shit out the same and the same type of asshole, no. The answer is no. I don't care if it's Amy, I don't care if it's Beyonce, or Rihanna, no. I see it. Probably got enough money to make her stuff smell like Cinetos current, bro.
00:43:31
Speaker
All right. I hate to be an asshole, but let's move on to the next topic. Please. Hey. Because I'm worried about myself, man. That's crazy. This episode is blowing my mind, bro. Hold up, bro. You can't talk with that anti-shit you say.
00:43:51
Speaker
That didn't happen
00:44:11
Speaker
This next topic parlays with this class of WNBA drives, how do you think this will impact the lead? So more so WBA week. So, uh, so probably I'll start with you, man. How do you think this will impact WNBA with this WNBA draft class? I mean, this is a new draft class. I got to shine, bro. People, people really been really bad.
00:44:33
Speaker
What the fuck is this? Yeah. Yeah, I heard about it. You're tweaking today. Is it really zinc has or is it somebody's computer? Echo. Yeah. Oh, well, let me see this one.
00:45:08
Speaker
I just heard it on you though. It ain't as bad as it was before.
00:45:34
Speaker
Yeah, I was just gonna say real quick like I think I think it's gonna be good for the WMB a lot of ash flow Already coming in like Kaitlyn Clark's Jersey for the Indiana fever sold out within like minutes of her getting drafted I think they said like
00:45:53
Speaker
Season season ticket holder like tickets, you know for those seats Sowed out within like a couple of hours. So I feel like it's really in it You got know what Julius was saying before we even started about the Chicago sky like Camila Cardona and uh, you know Reese Reese, you know them getting drafted to Chicago and the tickets already, you know skyrocketed in price so
00:46:17
Speaker
They all sold out and it's all resale tickets, man. I tried to book them tickets for like the Indiana fever versus the Chicago sky, bro. Like nosebleed seats are like three 94 right now. And like, of course, I see it's her like just gracing under a thousand, bro. It's ridiculous. Yeah. So I mean, that's way up because I remember.
00:46:34
Speaker
I was looking at tickets I think like a couple years ago to to see the Chicago Sky, you know, they playoffs and courtside tickets was like a couple hundred dollars. So you already see in the inflation. So I feel like like it's always like whatever is getting media attention like gambling circuits, you know, news outlets, they don't follow what has what what's what's the wave at the time. So, you know,
00:47:04
Speaker
It's a lot of money to be made on women's basketball in particular, because a lot of places are starting to pay attention to it. I feel like it's only going to increase. Yeah. I think parlay just in general, man. Like, toxic. To keep it on the butt, because you can work better up here in Chicago. So I might do one every now and again. I should have really did one on this.
00:47:31
Speaker
this Garcia fight last night. It's always like three bands off of that knockout bro. I mean, not for that stoppage. I mean, not stop, but you know what I'm saying? Decision like decision for the point in time, I think like eight, nine round, it was plus a hundred bro. You bet. Oh, 200 on that. You went sick almost six bands, bro. Like that's wicked. That's wicked. Yeah.
00:48:01
Speaker
But I think it'll be an interesting aspect, an interesting session to be able to put into the parlays, if not already, just to kind of see where the stat set are for the women, who's going to hit this amount of rebounds, who's going to get this points per game, things of that nature. So I think it'll add an interesting aspect to it.
00:48:23
Speaker
In my defense is always one person on a parlay who messes it up for the whole thing, bro Matias you could probably attest to it, bro Like yo, you'll probably be smooth or a six leg and then that six game a six person It's a red more simple shit to bro like
00:48:46
Speaker
It was that like like 13 rebounds like and they get like 12 and a half or something That's why the line is 12 and a half because they got actuaries, bro Like they really hire actuaries to come to the make sure So when over under be for the total of the game be 225 and the end at 224 and the coincidence burn like they calculate like
00:49:13
Speaker
That's why. That shit is insane, bro. Don't get me started, bro. I think WNBA is definitely about to go crazy. You know what I'm saying? Just me as a better, I definitely go better on Kayla Clark. I bettered on the, you know, uh, the women's final four and stuff like that. So like, no, I think sports bed definitely can benefit sports, but
00:49:41
Speaker
You know, we just got to keep it at a certain level. Like, you know what I'm saying? There's people getting suspended for a part. No, we got Ben, John T. Porter, Michael Porter, brother. We got Ben from the NBA. Oh, boy. Ben from, like, oh, crazy. Yo, under? Like, bro, you use schedule to make millions of dollars over an NBA career, bro. And you're going to ruin that sports betting life. And then if it's all because now we think, well, who else is doing it? You know what I'm saying? Niggas probably is the game.
00:50:10
Speaker
Bro. End of the day, bro.
00:50:27
Speaker
I'm like I don't play basketball to fucking hangover before dog. You sit down for a headache. I'm like, come on, man. You don't get in the box and be in seven feet, man. That's crazy. He got a stupid stuff, man. Just like, ah, my ankle. I can't my back, my back hurt.
00:50:55
Speaker
He played like 76 games this year so, you know, I'm saying You know work a good about it Thomas you're like, yeah Oh
00:51:16
Speaker
That's like a nigga. I'm sure 30 minutes late for work every single day out of the year and then for a month He five minutes five minutes earlier. They want to talk crazy They're saying bro, like bro is game one, bro Why that's that's on a comma for koala
00:51:44
Speaker
Hey Kawhi, what needed a bass suit? Boy, they bought the bass ass. I'm going to sit there and do his little whatever. Kawhi like, he like angry, bro. Like, he might be gone for a minute, but then they could show up when you really need him at the right time, bro. He going to come back.
00:52:12
Speaker
He'll win your game too. He like enjoyed 16 bro. He's programmed. He's so crazy, bro. Cause he really like be killing when he on the court, bro. But like, you just like Anthony Davis, bro, really be the best players throw that change thing on the court. Like it's insane, bro. Like sometimes I'd be like, bro, why this girl didn't get hurt? No disrespect. Nobody takes the best player, bro. Like,
00:52:46
Speaker
Like Hey homes played on a bum ankle in a Super Bowl and he still wins so I don't I don't really know about excuses And people be always playing on their instruments, I think everybody different bro 80 is But
00:53:07
Speaker
He was suffering from nausea. Jordan played through nausea too. Jordan had to be carried off by Pittman.
00:53:35
Speaker
I think these just don't we want to play bro. They'd be like I want to take a day off. I'm sick. I'm serious in this
00:53:43
Speaker
I mean, how many games do they play a year? They play mad games out of the year, bro. This is him the whole league, bro. This example of I ain't feel like someone worked. Hey, that dude is the best robber in history, dog. He is the best robber in history. No, I gotta give Vince him as this man. That dude is committing highway robbery before our eyes, and nobody's paying attention to it, man.
00:54:07
Speaker
I got credit. Hey he get in the bag man and not doing a thing a super bag though, bro Like he's just getting a little rookie back bro, like things on the contract This year not this month not this week
00:54:27
Speaker
No, I heard a thing where um, and I believe this is a real good saying man Like we're a dual baggy. You tell a girl ain't playing no games like Ben Simmons, man You got it. You got it. Just be honest with it Damn thing man. I agree with that. I agree with that statement right there or That's a boy right there That's a boy for sure. I think no credit. I see no one else's like Dale. That's clever. I
00:54:58
Speaker
But I hate to stay on top of it, just real quick. The WNBA draft, I think though, it's gonna really like, I think you guys already kind of hit it on the head where it is gonna make it where...
00:55:10
Speaker
It's a lot more popular. I think definitely though, the Chicago Scott, man, with them having both Pardosa and Reese, that's a lot of size like down low. So I really know if my whole thing is though, with the, you know, if they got some shooters around and stuff, cause the thing is like, think about this, everybody's going to be collapsing on them every time they get the ball down low and mug out, kick it out. Right there.
00:55:35
Speaker
Cardozo, but she blocked now everything rebound everything. Yeah, so like like a perfect situation unless they're playing like the like Las Vegas aces where they got to go up against Asia Wilson. Mm-hmm. Bro, it's gonna be kind of hard to stop them to be for real. I got some shooters on that squad too. Who did you get drafted by? Juju still in the NCAA. Okay.
00:56:00
Speaker
Yeah, we waited for her. That's a problem. I was like, well, she good too, man. She could have came out this year, but yeah, she's staying put. Paige Becker is staying put too. How about Flauze? They don't do one and dones, I thought. I think it was three years removed from high school. Oh, okay. Okay. They stay what they programmed for a minute. Flauze still, she's still at LSU. So yeah, we waiting on her as well. Okay.
00:56:29
Speaker
I love her pull-up game like well, I saw her playing Final Four. So that gave me a lot. I would definitely say over the next couple of years and I mean even already as we've seen with this year, but you know you see them with more so You got more of these players that are bringing that attention into the league So I respect the WPA to really start taking off a little bit more
00:57:00
Speaker
My bad, I'm gonna cut you off, bro No, but now I was gonna say what do y'all think just just to bounce off what you say you think it's gonna take out we I think really zone Be the catalyst to really push the WNBA to you know, bro like they say came in carts and contract was like four hundred thousand it wouldn't even four hundred thousand row for four years bro like I
00:57:29
Speaker
I think I think what it is for like contracts for like the league writ large, it's got to be TV deals. It's got to be the TV deals because that's how the NBA made like its money. Like the contracts from the 80s onwards started believing as the TV deals came in.
00:57:51
Speaker
And you already seeing that, I think the Indiana fever like negotiate, like they play, I think the season for the WNBA is like 40 games, something like that. And the Indiana fever already negotiated like 36 nationally televised games. That's 36 out of fucking 40 games is going to be on national TV. They, they already realizing like the paper is coming by getting
00:58:16
Speaker
getting that viewership and it comes from big networks. And that's how, that's the only way the money is going to go up. Cause like, like you said, like Caitlin Clark, she got that big deal with Nike, like, you know, Paige Becker's got her, her contract with Nike, Angel Reese got her bag with her NIL. So it's like, they already get into the money, you know, in terms of like the contracts though, it's the same with the NBA players. Like you gotta have those national TV deals. And once you get those that, that collective bargaining agreement, like,
00:58:48
Speaker
Once the viewership increases in the WNBA, contracts are going to be rewritten across the board, honestly. Because it's the same thing with the Super Bowl, when they had the halftime performance. Before they had the halftime, 30 minutes or whatever, people were going to watch a show and then would come back. So it's all about viewership and how the big corporations can make money off of people viewing in. So once that comes in, they're going to be able to pay these women way more than what they're getting paid right now. I think I'm heading right those big too, because he got
00:59:10
Speaker
It's going to go crazy. That money is going to be different.
00:59:18
Speaker
the brands that's already pushing the commercials, you know what I'm saying? Like we talked about the TV's paid off the commercials. So the same brands that's trying to get the TV to, you know, throw you a commercial, they are athletes. So I think that, you know what I'm saying? Kaitlyn Clark, as much hate as she get, bro, she transcended the game, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? Just like Steph did, bro. Like, they might not be the greatest. We don't even gotta debate that. But as far as transcending the game, like just that style of play is containing it. So,
00:59:48
Speaker
Viewership is money. Viewership means more ad, more companies that want to sponsor you. Sponsorships mean more capital. And you know what I'm saying? What they're looking for is views. So like you said, TV, I think it's happening. No, bro. Like streaming is new and like, and WNBA is fairly new still. So why not tap into a new route that the NBA was part of late to and try to, it's don't take the NBA too. You know what I'm saying?
01:00:15
Speaker
as much as people, some people might feel a different way. I think it's dope pushing the WNBA cause it's just like pushing basketball, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. I said one more thing. I think the, or one last thing. I think the other thing that can help drive the growth with the WNBA is like, there's, there's a lot of attention on like women's basketball right now. The,
01:00:43
Speaker
the price because of the scale and size. Like I know it's, you know, like the prices are starting to go up, but you go to an NBA game, like I went to a Celtics game and I think I was in like two years ago, I was like, you know, like row seven. So like pretty good seats. That was a couple hundred like to get there. And then last year or no, this year I went to a game and I'm paying a couple hundred to be in, in like the rafters, you know, so.
01:01:13
Speaker
I think like price of tickets, like a lot of people just can't get in the building. And I know the Clippers are like borrowing from college, trying to have like a, like a, you know, how they have student sections for like college games where the prices are discounted. The Clippers are trying to do that with a new stadium. I think the WNBA could really capitalize on just like, you know, it's already people wanting to get into those stadiums now, but just like really selling on that demand and taking advantage of just like,
01:01:42
Speaker
the market being smaller compared to the NBA plus the demand like you could really do some some creative marketing and just like ventures even in how you do your seat in the stadium to really get people in there you know the gear that you give out you know giveaway night or whatever
01:01:57
Speaker
It's like a lot of things to create buzz so that even more people want to, you know, bust down those doors and get in seats that aren't even there. And then you really talking about expansion because you've got to build new stadiums. You've got to have larger seating capacity. You've got to up your entertainment. So you got to push some season tickets, bro. That's where it's at. You know what I'm saying? People don't understand like small, um, memberships and you know what I'm saying? That's why they always want you to pay up front.
01:02:21
Speaker
because they get more of their profit, you know what I'm saying? I'm gonna give you $100 for the year, but you know what I'm saying? If you pay monthly, you're paying $24, you know what I'm saying? Or whatever, you know what I'm saying? So it's more, so they gotta push them season tickets. That's why the NFL and NBA already do that, because they know that's where the money is too. So just getting people to be loyal, build loyalty programs, like you said, and just them creative ways to market it is really gonna make it boom. I got faith, like, you know what I'm saying? I admit, I never used to watch
01:02:51
Speaker
WNBA and you know saying I started watching college started watching WNBA but that's always the best transition. When you look at some of your favorite players you look at how they was in college and then they transition to the NBA or NFL so that's usually how you get people to come on to your sport. You know what I'm saying? That's facts. That's how it fits.
01:03:12
Speaker
We haven't got your opinion yet, man. What's that you, man? That's out of it, man. Yeah, I'm just chilling this episode, bro. My mind was blown 15 minutes ago, and I'm just trying to recover from that. Oh, boy. Hey, yo, that was me. No, I agree with everything y'all said, Corey, Jared, Mattias. Y'all said some good shit, so let's just go on to the next topic.
01:03:37
Speaker
Hey, Steph, bro. This is what I'm going to do, man. I'm going to give you a WNBA team, bro. That's your team. You got to follow them. You got to watch, bro. We ain't going to do it, bro. I'll do it. You got to do it, bro. I'm going to take the workout. I'm going to give you a team, man. Las Vegas Aces, just watch them, bro. All right, bro. I got you. Just join the bandwagon, bro. They are the champions, sir. It's easy, bro. I'm on it. I'm going to make them a bandwagon.
01:04:07
Speaker
We got to get Stefon somehow some way because he don't watch college sports. No, it's just a shit. No, I just, I just don't watch the WNBA, but I'll start watching for Cory. I'll start watching the show. I think, I think sometimes like,
01:04:32
Speaker
People would sleep on women's force because we used to, me and Ben, you know, more testosterone means more, you know, and we see niggas in the open and WNBA. I'll say this about women's basketball is more technical, more
01:04:50
Speaker
first basketball, it was winning basketball. That's why sometimes they really be more skilled than some of the men because men be relying on their athleticism. But I say like, you really got to be a fan of basketball or just a fan of good basketball, you know what I'm saying? Or watch versus NBA. You could just like watch your niggas like Jod Duncan, you know what I'm saying? Niggas get run high and I mean, run fast and jump high. So you see Jalen Brown do a dunk contest.
01:05:20
Speaker
That was months ago, man. Look at that shit go. Hey, yo. My boy. Hey. Do y'all watch the UFC? Women's combat sports, bro? I'll say, like... Oh, damn, bro. ...competitive athletic women out there, too, bro. Like, they just don't got the platform, but, like, they out there, bro. Like, wrestlers, MMA, basketball. They went to the military, bro.
01:05:45
Speaker
Bro, every time Valentina Shevchenko got a fight, I'm tuning in, bro. No cat, bro. Yeah. They be banging. You know what I'm saying? That's just a place for sure. Yeah. They just need a platform. Yeah, they take their head off. Hellsom4, I move on to the last topic.
01:06:08
Speaker
Yeah, just you say 50-50 to one of them UFC fighters and they're going to take your head off, bro. You're right. They're going to feel like shit in a row. All right, man. We go a little to this last topic. And so it's a disser like that. Who is winning in the race of the big three? So, man,
01:06:34
Speaker
You know Step start this time man, just because he's been he's been phone a bad bird too much man Real quick though before step talk this weekend has been a lot bro. So to clarify to clarify
01:06:51
Speaker
Drake dropped Taylor Mae Freestyle I think like on Friday or something as another diss to Kendrick while using the AI platforms to discuss his voice as Tupac and Snoop the tour like West Coast legends to try to like come at Kendrick from a different angle which is crazy then Rick Ross just dropped his diss earlier last week to Drake about champagne moments
01:07:19
Speaker
Champagne mom was talking about he had a BBL in and those towers Which is crazy, but then outside all that just weird beef. We got real beef with Quavo and Chris Brown right now Chris I really came at Quavo in this dish. I don't know if y'all heard it or not, but he said He says some stuff bro, like it's way way
01:07:48
Speaker
It might get ugly with that one. I don't know man. It's a lot fighting words Bro, and then Kanye matter of fact, Kanye just dropped his like that remix this in J Cole bow it out, which is crazy injury and Drake but It's a lot going on in hip-hop is in a weird weird state right now, man I say that but still still please get your opinion, bro. What you think?
01:08:13
Speaker
Yeah, too much shit. Thanks for that Julius because too much stuff that happened, bro. I haven't heard Chris Brown shit. I've heard the Kanye shit. Kanye, please go get some help, bro. Nobody want to hear from you right now. You need to be in some sort of mental program. But J. Cole, of course, he's at the bottom. I mean, shit, dude, come on. You drop a diss and then you take the shit back. Like, what are you doing? Like, you just respect it. All that's going on right now.
01:08:41
Speaker
I mean, you disrespecting your fans on that one, dude. I mean, shit. Corey, you had a long time fan of J. Cole, bro. What did you feel about that? Hey, don't get it twisted. I fuck with J. Cole, but it's K-Dye, bro. I ain't co-sign that shit he did, bro. That's a cold, man.
01:08:59
Speaker
Colleen want to be in it, bro. He, it is goofy pen to put himself in it and jump into it and then jump out. But I feel like I just didn't want to be in it. He like, fuck it. Like I don't, I don't need that. But I think people was crazy to say that he came now. He not material to do battle rap. When he was just doing this, he was barbecuing and shit. You know what I'm saying? So to say that he not able to is stupid to say that.
01:09:25
Speaker
Maybe he didn't have a stomach too, you know what I'm saying? I'm sure he could live with that. I don't think he really cared at this point, but we can say Cole is last, but I'm gonna say it, bro. Drake is at the top, bro. Drake is at the top, bro. Drake is at the top now. A better rapper. I was going to say that though, because obviously Kendrick technically is better. I mean, everybody knows Kendrick is a better rapper than Drake.
01:09:52
Speaker
But Drake, he didn't drop too distancing. Where's K-DOT at? I'm just looking at it logically right now. Like, OK, if K-DOT comes out with something right, and it's just on ether levels, then I'm like, OK, well, he won. But until then, Drake is 2-0 or 2-1. I don't buy no ether. Even K-DOT, he ain't dropping no ether. He might come in and do something crazy, but right now, he down, bro. Like, Drake, I don't care what y'all say. He had to write the AI stuff.
01:10:21
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? I think it was really just a parody of a song. But he ain't even released it on platforms. So it was just a parody. Because y'all talked a lot about it. It was AI, but it really wasn't. So now I'm going to use AI. And I'm going to use this nigga's idols.
01:10:39
Speaker
Come on. That nigga took gross right to a whole nigga another level. This nigga brought Tupac from the dead, man, to come back and rap. I was like, come on, man. But I'll say this. Here's my thing with Dre.
01:10:58
Speaker
I've always been different to him, you know. Yeah, he has some songs, you know, I probably would a little bit, you know, but the whole thing with Drake is, and this is kind of where it kind of, this is kind of where it plays into this whole, this thing. The dude has, he believes in quantity over quality. Like, yeah, he can just put out all this stuff, you know, and it's just for me, it's just like, okay, I want some of those stuff since now. I heard of a bits and pieces of this recently.
01:11:27
Speaker
I think it's decent, you know, but I'm waiting to see what Kenji was saying. And then also to Jacob. Yeah, he's on the bottom. I'm sorry. If anything, a Drake.
01:11:37
Speaker
If anything he yeah right now Logically speaking according to staff. Yeah, he's got the most stuff right now I do think Rick Ross had a little bit of a good disk for him a little bit But the Metro Bowman future and kid your thing. I still like I still think it was the best thing But I think kids are do have to do something though himself Kendra got a say so and but you know what I think is crazy. I
01:12:05
Speaker
Every rapper coming out of the woodworks to diss J. Cole, I think that's kind of wild to say that he's not a good rapper or trying to make disses towards him. Who's doing that? I think Simba or Mick Jenkins, other rappers are just coming out and being like, F.J. Cole, essentially. And it's just like, okay,
01:12:27
Speaker
You're going to talk bad about a man who bowed out of like a battle or whatever. And I get, it's controversial in like what he did and everything.
01:12:35
Speaker
cool, but bro said I'm cool on it. And you gonna still talk while I'm doing that. I don't know. That's kind of weak personally. So it's just weird. Even rappers like this fall a sense of pride to disrespect a top three dude. You know what I mean? It's just weird. Especially if you talk about sustenance. Some people want to listen to music for sustenance. J.C.O. gon' be that. You know what I'm saying? He can battle rap, but he ain't. He ain't. Feel like it was his beef.
01:13:04
Speaker
Yeah, so it was goofy for him to come out with his this but like I Say he is DQ disqualifying right now. It's just between Rick Ross, you know, I'm saying and Drake and Kendrick and Kendrick might come out with some evil right now, bro. I Think Rick Ross is last Rick Ross. I am like his dish. No Sam, but I guess it is about controversy. Well Chris Brown gets failing a own lane, but Chris Brown doing
01:13:41
Speaker
Really bro bro been paranoid my whole time and just like I gotta get this off right now. It's more like Pulling up clips of Chris Brown saying like Quavo like pull up like at a basketball game bro. Like come on, bro You know, you're not beefing that hard. That's real smoke, bro
01:14:01
Speaker
And to go on record saying, like, I hit your girl while you was with her. You said, man, where's your boy Chris Breeze, man? We came a long way from 2005, man. Yeah. These are they took off. I don't know, bro. He on a different level. My nigga rutted into a whole different level now, man. He said, like, some crazy stuff. He said, like, you should have died instead of take off.
01:14:31
Speaker
It was like that blew my mind Bro, you're making money off of that song right? You're making money off of that song right now saying like you should have died. I don't know if I was Quavo You either got two choices. You gotta like I don't control gun violence, but But something something has to transpire or just be like You got it, bro. You won
01:15:00
Speaker
Cause there's no way you talk about, you talk, you want me to die and you hit my girl out Twitter. I think I'd probably go to jail, bro. Crash out. Cause bro, like ain't no way. Like you want a reaction. I'm going to give you the biggest reaction that you wanted, bro. I'm not going to say anything no more, but she quite won't have to just get his bar or something to get a ghost writer. Shit. We don't, we don't play well crap Chris Brown, unfortunately. But you know what I'm saying? I have to get a ghost writer or something, bro. Cause I can't crash out.
01:15:31
Speaker
Why are they beefing? Why are they beefing? Carrucci or something like that? Yeah, Carrucci. Chris Brown, a bit possessive. I think Quavo was dating Carrucci for a minute while after they broke up. But Carrucci got a whole restraining order on, bro, for a permanent restraining order because he was stalking him like an abusive, apparently, which is an excuse.
01:15:55
Speaker
None of that none of that is acceptable whatsoever, but just like yeah, so I don't know Chris. We're not gonna tweak it now, bro He just like I've had it like see me he he he's blooded out power whatever and He feels great He feels great and he wants to just get at it apparently so How is he power ruling? He's from a small town of Virginia?
01:16:23
Speaker
I guess he got jumped in when he moved out there like This man need to he needs some help too, bro I Feel like I don't know man, like if he was really on that you would have did some like the fashion show nice When it was sagged with each other
01:16:54
Speaker
And he said that too, but like, bro, if you really not bothered you, you're rich, bro. Like what's like 50,000, I don't know how much you got made for sitting at the fashion show, but like you got, you got a book with cash, bro. I don't think messing up that bad would have did anything for you. No, of course not. You said that you saw, you said ain't gonna, ain't gonna hit his pockets on love, but yeah. What you, what you feel, Corey, how you feel about all this?
01:17:27
Speaker
Y'all niggas was really going crazy last episode when I wasn't here Hey, we did so we got it. We gotta hear the back end of it man. Give us your take. I was saying some wild shit Drake revolutionized disses No, we didn't step said this nigga revolutionized the diss track bro. I
01:17:58
Speaker
Who was doing back-to-back distance before Drake? For real. He did back-to-back distance before the other guy was able to respond?
01:18:11
Speaker
I don't know about that, nigga. I wasn't alive then, but in terms of releasing diss track, like multiple tracks, like, yes. I would probably say like Jay-Z, maybe Nas a little bit. They kind of had like multiple disses in a sense. 50 Cent probably did it against Ja Rule. Yeah, 50 Cent, definitely, probably. I know. All right. I'm going to sit up, because this is how I feel about it. Please do, yeah. This is the Drake.
01:18:39
Speaker
J Cole, Kendrick, little triangle that's happening right now. Rick Ross is independent of that. And I guess ASAP Rocky said he got a disc loaded up for Drake too. So I don't know everybody. Everybody. Right. I feel like here's my thing. Drake released two diss tracks. The first one push ups was kind of cool. It was all right. I give him, I give him a B on it. You know, I fucked with it. I thought it was better than J Cole's track.
01:19:08
Speaker
And then he dropped the AI shit. And on it, he go to Kendrick asking for response. My thing is, nigga, you waited like two weeks before you responded to the shit. You got the fucking Avengers of writers. You probably call it Yachty and was like, hey, nigga, let's pin some shit real quick. Let's go. And now as soon as you release your shit, it's a timeline. Like, come on, relax, first of all. Second,
01:19:36
Speaker
So that's my whole thing is like, let this man cook Kendrick. You know, Kendrick about to come with something. So don't don't try to act like this nigga scared or whatever, because it took you damn near a month to put your shit out. So relax. And his still got leaked, too. That's the crazy thing about him, man. Still got leaked. Drake shit. Yeah, he leaked himself. He leaked himself. Yeah.
01:20:00
Speaker
The second thing I'm gonna say though is the AI shit. I hope the Tupac estate suit a fuck out that nigga. I hope they run him for his shit because he gonna lose money behind that. I hope they do. And if I was Kendrick, I wouldn't say shit. I wouldn't release a bar. I would just call the Tupac estate and be like,
01:20:23
Speaker
Y'all need to do what y'all need to do. I don't think y'all get permission for that shit. Shut it down real quick. I don't know if you need permission, bro. I don't think he would have did it if he couldn't do it. I don't know. I don't really know too much about it. Well, that could be a reason that he leaked it instead of doing it officially on his account because the pushup track originally, it had the Tupac sample in the back and he might not have got approved on that. So that might've been the reason it leaked. So he don't have to,
01:20:53
Speaker
Legally defend the shit they don't
Drake's Influence in the Music Industry
01:20:55
Speaker
matter. So he's sharing it Yeah, yeah sharing it and what Taylor may freestyle is probably the one you referring to and whole thing with the Power to get stuff clear apparently so like I was into the Joe Biden podcast all the day and they kind of like broke stuff down a little bit Drake may be Like the owner of the like label
01:21:23
Speaker
that is over Maybach Music Group and like Sexy Red, apparently. So like that could be a reason why they're beefing. But I think like Drake is just trying to become like a, he's monopolizing like a lot of stuff. So I think that's why a lot of people are like trying to come at him so he can say that he owned people, essentially. That makes
Controversies in Music: AI and Allegations
01:21:42
Speaker
sense. Cause Kalez is wondering like, damn boy, everybody got something going on with this dude. Everybody coming out. You know what I'm saying? But something that ain't nobody mentioned,
01:21:53
Speaker
that like don't really sit right with my soul is with the Tupac Snoop lil ai song that he released like this nigga basically admitted to fucking with underage girls bro like he when he said that like he I didn't listen to it it was in the bar where he I think he was playing as like as as Pac and uh
01:22:15
Speaker
you know, Pac was telling Kendrick like talk about him dating, you know, little girls or underage girls. Talk about him doing this. Talk about him like, you know, trying to go to him. And it's like the allegations been there for years. Like he got the text messages with what's her name from Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown, whatever her name is. Allegations he brought out a restaurant for 18 year old. And it's like, you know, if he moved that way, he moved that way. I can't do shit about
Drake's Trolling Tactics vs. Kendrick Lamar
01:22:45
Speaker
it, obviously.
01:22:47
Speaker
It's like I don't really like the whole eight mile way of like trying to defuse a beef or like in a beef by just like shitting on yourself like that might work for Eminem in a movie but in real life bro like nah nigga I'm gonna still talk about it just cuz you said it already don't mean shit I'm about to go get fucking uh the predator dude from Dateline and line up all these girls and
01:23:12
Speaker
You know, I was in the background, bro, like we really coming for you. You just because you said it first don't mean nothing. So I don't know. I just feel like the first track was cool. The second track, I thought it was kind of kind of cheesy for real, for real. We don't we don't see what Kendrick do. But Drake with the antics, man, that's that's his whole thing. He not really trying to go bar for bar with people. He just going to try to.
01:23:37
Speaker
out troll somebody, and what I don't think he realizes is Kendrick don't give a fuck about the trolling, bro. You seen
Fan Loyalty: Drake vs. Beyoncé
01:23:45
Speaker
that nigga hair, you seen how he lived, bro. He don't care about that. I think also too Drake knows that his fans are going to back him up no matter what. I see it a lot where he kind of has that, he kind of has that Beyonce style influence. He can put out anything in his fans.
01:24:07
Speaker
I mean, you can say I guess for any artist to an extent, but for him, I'll just be like, man, you know, we were like, Oh man, this stuff was like, you know, you know, maybe like on the album, like, for example, like, okay, you know, this, this song is probably cool. This one's probably missed. I just, I don't know. For me with Drake, it's always been a thing with him where he's always, as you mentioned, like he's got a troll to get that reaction, like, or get some type of,
01:24:34
Speaker
of notoriety out here. But like my whole thing is just, hey, I'm looking at the lyricism, the bars and the, uh, the quality of what you have to provide. So that's why I'm hoping like with Kendrick, like I'm, I'm just waiting. And hopefully by the time we get to the next episode, we could talk about it, hopefully. But I'm just waiting on it. Cause yeah. We gonna see. We gonna see, man.
01:25:04
Speaker
But I
Impact of Diss Tracks in Music
01:25:06
Speaker
will say, I think anybody got anything to say on this topic before we move on to the PSA. Oh, I think Kada's going to win at the end, though. I think he's going to drop some fire, to be honest with you. I think he's cooking up for real. I'm excited to hear. What do you say? I'm not.
01:25:26
Speaker
I wish we would have like a big topic on this. I've never been like a huge drink stand. I just acknowledge him for what he's done. Uh, you know, this is the disc master, man. Come on, man. That was, that was light work, bro. He took care of me. Anybody could have done that, but I think the way he did it was dope. Yeah. That's crazy. Battle rapper, bro. That's really crazy. That's one doing Cassidy like that.
01:26:13
Speaker
I still feel like Push had the greatest diss of our era.
01:26:23
Speaker
Yeah, bro,
Drake vs. Kanye: Music Industry Dominance
01:26:24
Speaker
okay, I I get your argument Mattias I get where you coming from bro but One this nigga Drake a respond after that diss and two he started taking care of his kid His kid a fucking citizenship in Canada, bro, he didn't want that he didn't want to say over here, bro, you know
01:26:51
Speaker
the the
01:27:06
Speaker
Dre got something for Kanye too coming up. I'm pretty sure it was like a whole campaign to not even buy easy. It's like, that's crazy. You can't, you can't, you can't get into a battle with Kanye, bro. That's just, that's just a bad look. I know y'all might be buying. He, I think bigger right now. Not all time. I know Kanye didn't get a lot of music, but right at this moment, who got more, who got more power and you know what I'm saying? Just pull Drake or Kanye.
01:27:35
Speaker
As far as pool, just right now music. Are we talking about musically or like as far as like more popular but not, not who making the best music. Just as
Skill vs. Genetic Advantages
01:27:46
Speaker
far as popularity, I would have to say number one, you know what I'm saying? But in terms of number one. Yeah, I would have to say as far as popularity go, I would have to say. But Kanye's got his dance too though.
01:28:02
Speaker
But I, yeah. And what I'll say is it's Drake right now, but every, every cat falls out the tree at some point, man. Kanye was where Drake was at right now. Like in terms of stranglehold on the industry, everybody working with him, just going crazy. You know, so Drake don't fall off soon. It's going to happen. It always do. And it's going to be somebody else right behind. It's a two year period though. Like Drake, they had a dynasty bro.
01:28:32
Speaker
Hey, Kanye had a dynasty too, bro. That's all I'm saying. Kanye is a Chinese elder, Jay-Z, but I'm just saying, like, you're saying, like, Drake is, like, the fall off. Like, everybody got to fall off. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Let me ask you a question. Did you like that dance album that nigga did? I ain't a great fan, bro. I just fuck with, you know, certain Drake shit. Like, I recognize, you know, I'm saying lyricism and, like, I'm just saying, bro, my top three, bro, is, like,
01:28:59
Speaker
J. Cole and Kendrick, you know what I'm saying? So I fuck with diet. I know that diet is that, and I know that Drake is not playing a category of just really having something to talk about. At some point, you know what I'm saying, he was coming with that, but just in terms of dissing and stuff like that, and just the antics, like you're saying, but that's what it is most of the time, dissing is antics. Even Ether, as much as Nas can spit, nigga,
01:29:26
Speaker
He was calling him crazy, all type of bitch ass niggas, shit, bro. Disrespect him. Disrespect that nigga. Because that's what y'all see. I push the disrespect to Drake more. But I just feel like... I mean, push to get spit, bro, but I just feel like Drake is doing some different shit. You know
Critique of the Education System
01:29:45
Speaker
what I'm saying?
01:29:47
Speaker
Nigga, you said Pusha got the best diss track or generation. I was in Dolph. Nigga, how they shots? I know Dolph ain't spitting like Pusha, but in terms of disrespect and just going on a run, nigga got niggas calling them CMF.
01:30:21
Speaker
Made a whole album about it That's crazy that's I forgot all about that that's so distant money Even in Chicago is crazy. It is Niggas may became billionaires. I've been talking about smoking a dead nigga. I
01:30:43
Speaker
Bro, we will still blast bond stuff up here all the time. Well, I ain't even Realized like her niggas was like your bro names like pasta Niggas ain't even know but like they really took us into a different level bro, like Yeah It's so common in Chicago to like
01:31:09
Speaker
It's like, if they got beef with you, they'll talk about you, but they'll pull up on you with the queens. Like, cats do not play around or play a battle out here, man. It's crazy. Shit, ugly. All right, we're going to go ahead and we're going to go ahead and move on to this PSA. I think we know who's going to be in detention today based off this PSA. So, Suprano, man, what's on your mind, man? Hey, we'll close out this episode.
01:31:39
Speaker
Yeah, man, the candidate for detention this episode is our education system. Because all throughout the country is failing people, man. Your literacy is at an all time high. You know, they always say, you know, reading is fundamental. So I wanted to leave people with a definition from from Merriam Webster dictionary.
01:32:08
Speaker
on skill because I don't think a lot of people understand what skill means. So Merriam Webster dictionary says skill is a noun, the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or performance or dexterity or coordination, especially in the execution of learned physical tasks or a learned power of doing something competently, a developed attitude, aptitude or ability.
01:32:39
Speaker
You know what skill isn't? Boy. Your physical fucking capacity. If you born as a big ass motherfucker, that's not a skill, bro. That's genetics. If you born seven feet tall and you just tall like that, that wasn't a skill you didn't learn. You didn't physically develop your bones to grow. Shit just happened. So that's my challenge to niggas is start reading, bro. Like really.
01:33:07
Speaker
Like we had the benefit of going to Lincoln College Prep. And I ain't gonna say it's the best education in the world, but it's better than what a lot of people get. I feel like just the things that people were saying, especially in the context of like the whole women basketball, men's basketball debate.
01:33:32
Speaker
a lot of people are conflating a very simple concept of skill and just like genetic capacity and it's really not that hard to get so that's that's that's all I wanted to put out there just like get your get your reading up bro like read some books man get your get your literacy game tight you know look through a thesaurus look through a dictionary every now and then shit they got they got something called called word genius
01:34:01
Speaker
I subscribe to it. You get a
Advocating Intelligence and Informed Decisions
01:34:03
Speaker
fresh word every single day. You learn something. Try to try to expand your neural pathways because a lot of y'all niggas are just stupid, bro. And it's kind of annoying. And I'll add on to that, that our show is rated E.
01:34:21
Speaker
which means that if you want to comfort somebody that we're close to, we'll come at you. Like the comments are for everyone. Not just, not just anyone particular for everyone. And we will show your ass too. From all different directions. Yeah, bro. Like we really, we really smart over here. Like we got, we got Matthias. And again, shout out to you being on the show, man. We appreciate it. Thank you for being on the show once again, man. But like Matthias, like he, people like investments and shit.
01:34:51
Speaker
You got Steph on his engineering tip. Jack is a fucking scientist. And he got Drew on his salesman tip. So it's like, it's really a lot of knowledge in this little bubble we got going on. And just fucking smooth brain ass niggas trying to come into the comments and act like they flexing some knowledge. Like, come on, bro. You probably struggle with Dr. Seuss, nigga. Don't come to this, bro.
01:35:18
Speaker
Just leave it. Make sure you know that the definition of words before you use them because you know, knowledge is power and a lot of you niggas is weak, bro. That's a bar too right there. Hard for certain niggas to comprehend, bro. I agree with you, bro. Like just the, from the education system to the society, bro, just it's so popular to, I remember growing up, bro,
01:35:45
Speaker
You know, we was kids, like I thought it would be a clown. I thought it was cool to be, you know, some goofy new help. But as
Episode Conclusion and Future Hopes
01:35:53
Speaker
you... Okay. As you age and as you mature and shit like that, you realize, like, bro, like, nigga, the people that is actually benefiting is the intelligent people on the shit that's really thinking shit through, not just going with them. You can have fun, but, you know, make intelligent decisions.
01:36:16
Speaker
you're going to benefit the most from it. So like, just like you saying, bro, I just feel like reading, bro. You just want to just get lazy and just look past that shit. Yeah. Being a literary man, it promotes altruism and being on selfish concern because the welfare of others may definitely benefit from your understanding of the world and your actions. So.
01:36:45
Speaker
Don't be a crook, read a book. You know what I mean? Oh, man. Jerry, close us out, bro. All right. So, hey, once again, man, I want to thank our boy Matias, man, once again, man, for coming on the show. Man, this has been a great episode, man. We're glad to have you on.
