00:00:36
Speaker 5: I want you to tell people.

00:00:40
Speaker 2: Uh, it's that about I don't know, thirteen fourteen million uh impressions on that one tweet and if you count all the other you know, media outlets that picked it up, and the tiktoks and you know the instagrams and the other Twitter accounts, probably one hundred million easy.

00:00:56
Speaker 5: Wow.

00:00:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what made you wake up? Right, uncle Murda? We was thinking what made him wake up? And what a troll today? Because it seemed like was.

00:01:06
Speaker 3: It trolling or what is it?

00:01:09
Speaker 5: What is it? To you? Murder?

00:01:11
Speaker 1: It seemed like bladdest trolling. I think you trailer because I'm like, this can't be true. I don't see these guys paying him to do all of these things.

00:01:20
Speaker 5: But is everywhere right now?

00:01:22
Speaker 1: So everybody want to know, and I'm glad you gave us the exclusive in if you and know all that, Blad.

00:01:27
Speaker 4: So tell us because I thought you was hacked, I said, Glad, I got to be hacked off, gladdest troller. So get into the story with rock Nation and Tory lanees the biggest thing on the Internet.

00:01:35
Speaker 5: Let's get into it on the real report, all right.

00:01:37
Speaker 2: So I've been talking about the Tory Lanes Megan situation right after it happened, and as the information came out, as you know, Megan said that I'm going to testify. You know, I've quoted you a lot. You know, if you have someone that you shoot and they get on the stand and say you shot me, and this woman on top of that, there is a very slim chance he will beat that in trot, you might as well just plead out. So as they're going back and forth and he's antagonizing her and you know, she's responding and everything else like that, I started saying to my interviews, Tori's go to jail, And I was like, oh, you're a hater whatever, And I'm like, look, based on what I see, he's gonna go to jail. He d m me, you know, trying to figure out what I know, calls me a cop whatever else, that's whatever.

00:02:21
Speaker 3: Man, Tory Lanez DMS you and called you a cop. I never knew this.

00:02:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah he did. That's whatever. I don't care about that. I think Tory Lanez is a dope.

00:02:32
Speaker 5: Artist called all type of names. Was that I said, You've been called all type of all? I agree.

00:02:40
Speaker 3: Glad is my friend though you know, Glad is my friend.

00:02:43
Speaker 5: He's my guy.

00:02:43
Speaker 4: He helped me with a lot of stuff with learning about this podcast. Thinking he never really hated on anybody from what I see now, does he does? He pick on people sometimes he doesn't know he does murder, you know, and it's cool And this time you're picking on rock Nation and Tory lanes Well, no.

00:03:01
Speaker 2: No, I'm not. I'm not even picking on rock Nation. So basically, leading up to the trial, I was one of the only people in hip hop media that kept saying Toy's going to be found guilty and he's going to go to jail. That doesn't make me a hater, doesn't make me a snitch or a cop. It's just based on the public information I was finding the trial, I'm like, he's going to go to jail and everyone. Whenever I did a poll on Twitter or you know, YouTube, eighty percent of my viewer said, no, he's going to beat it. He's going to walk away. You know, she's lying whatever.

00:03:31
Speaker 4: I predicted it too. Not to cut you off. I predicted it too.

00:03:34
Speaker 5: I send it to you.

00:03:35
Speaker 3: I said, no, you got somebody that's saying you shot them.

00:03:38
Speaker 5: I don't know. The case is not looking it's.

00:03:40
Speaker 2: Not looking good, right, so lo and behold. He gets found guilty and he goes to jail, and he files an appeal, and the appeal falls through, and you think that that's the end of it. But constantly you see all this news footage that keeps coming out where it's like, yo, no, she ever got shot. He actually had a press conference because lawyers had a press conference that said he didn't shoot her. Kelsey was shooting the gun and he hit her arm. The gun fell to the floor and fired twice, and that's how she got hit. Now listen, man, I'm not Nicholas Irving, you know, the Army sniper. But I have handled guns throughout my life, and I could tell you if I threw a gun on the floor a thousand times, I don't think you would fire twice. Am I right?

00:04:31
Speaker 1: That don't sound too believable, But yeah, I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying, right.

00:04:36
Speaker 5: So what made you wake up? Though? This is the room?

00:04:38
Speaker 2: So this is what happened, right, So that morning, a bunch of like Daily Loud and a bunch of other like Domin's News I believe, and a bunch of other like media outlests that I follow. Tarts running this video of Tory's lawyers saying that Kelsey's bodyguard has come forward and said that Kelsey's the shooter, not Toy. Everyone's going crazy over this footage. And I'm looking at this going like this is from last May. This art he came out almost a year ago. The appeal went through and it didn't happen. The appeal was struck down, and so I posted this. I'm like, Yo, you're an idiot to think that this is somehow news and that this is somehow going to overturn this and people in the comments, yeah, but you know Rock Nation they bought off the jury and Rock it's really jay Z because remember Tory's dad, Like, after Toy has found guilty, one of this whole rant where you was screaming about rock Nation and jay Z in the courtroom and everything else like that. Right, So I said, okay, listen, like this, this guy is so stupid at this point that I'm going to just do a tweet or I'm going to take every conspiracy theory around this and just listed one after the other. I got paid by rock Nation. Jay Z paid off the jury, and he paid off the judge and did a verse for the judge's grandson, right, And and he paid the Mexican dude to stab Tory in prison, and he paid off the doctor to say that she got shot when she really wasn't, and and he paid off everyone else. Like yo, I'm like, okay, this is so stupid that Noah's gonna believe this.

00:06:16
Speaker 4: And you're so saying the Internet does what it does best, twist stuff up, change the conspiracy theories.

00:06:23
Speaker 5: But you knew.

00:06:24
Speaker 4: But you know why I was trolling, because you had to know some of the now a jay Z versus crazy, but him getting stabbed by rock Nation and all that, that might be believable or something.

00:06:34
Speaker 2: It might be believable. It might be believable. So you mean to tell me that jay Z where he is in life right now. Right, he's a billionaire, he's considered one of the greatest ever. He's going to risk all that to pay a pedophile, a Mexican pedophile, to do a murder in prison over a guy with an you know who's antagonizing an artist that's not even a big priority to jay Z.

00:07:03
Speaker 4: But you're a credible Listen, you a credible source to the culture. So people or like a lot of people are like confused from what I'm hearing.

00:07:15
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

00:07:15
Speaker 4: It's a lot of it's coming from you. So people don't know if you're hacked or you was, you was trolling, or I.

00:07:21
Speaker 2: Was not hacked. Man, I was trying to prove a point, and I proved it that whatever stupidity you put out there, there's gonna be millions of people that eat it up. And I was right. No matter how stupid it is, no matter how totally unbelievable it is, there's gonna be someone that eats it up. And look, millions of people ate it up. Millions. I proved my point. Did I prove my point?

00:07:44
Speaker 4: You definitely did, because people ran with the story and it definitely went viral. That's why we got you on a real report right now, like sharing subscribe you know what I'm saying, and we get we get told everything that's real.

00:07:55
Speaker 3: So where do we go from here?

00:07:57
Speaker 4: Because you're a credible sauce you you you're part of the So people like.

00:08:01
Speaker 5: What are you? What are you hearing?

00:08:03
Speaker 2: What?

00:08:03
Speaker 3: Like how people are calling your phone? What do they say?

00:08:05
Speaker 5: And I want to know, Black, how do you feel about people like you? Cool as ship? Right? But how do you feel about people saying you're a coach, a bulcher too? Black?

00:08:13
Speaker 4: Just the real He has a lot of money, ladies and gentlemen.

00:08:17
Speaker 1: But I want to know how he really feels about that though, because he's been a part of the culture for so long, very long, So for people to say that, how do you feel about that?

00:08:24
Speaker 5: Black?

00:08:25
Speaker 2: I mean, what's interesting is that both of y'all. I was like doing interviews with both of you before Flat TV. Yep, you guys are part of Black the Era facts for real, for real. So you guys know how far I go back? Man, I don't care about that. Every Every white person in hip hop is called that at some point, you know, Steve Rifkin gets called that, Lakoma, She's contributed Leo. Take Lea her Cohen out of hip hop, and you would have a very different hip hop. People don't want to admit that, but there's a reason why he became president of def Jam and then you know ahead of YouTube Music, you know he was president. He was a chairman of another, he was chairman of I think Atlantic at one point like I may be getting wrong, but it's like, yo, like I'm fine with being called that, but you know, at the end of the day, it's like, at what point do you just say we have to use our common sense. What's interesting about that particular tweet is that there's probably maybe like at least one hundred replies where people are asking Groc is this real? And every time Groc says no, it's parody, it's sarcasm, right, So AI no sarcasm better than human beings? Now? Is that sad? Isn't that kind of sad that AI does a better job of telling someone it's sarcasm than the person themselves, an actual human being? That's what's sad about this. That's craz every TIMEROC and Groc doesn't even get shit right sometimes and every time I got it is being sarcastic. It's not real.

00:10:05
Speaker 4: This is this is you know what you know, you know what's crazy when I look when I look at like the DVD era, when I look at like the my Space era, you know that the kids now don't know about. You know, it was like, it was World Star, it was This Is fifty, it was Vlad, it was Forbes DVD, you know, and then you know, Fendy and them had to come up, but they didn't have the website, so you had to come up. And of course you had Cocaine City with French and you had What's My Man that always had the girls.

00:10:36
Speaker 5: You know my man?

00:10:37
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, zero sub zero shout the sub zero.

00:10:41
Speaker 5: It was just.

00:10:45
Speaker 3: And that was the DVD.

00:10:46
Speaker 4: And then we transitioned into the internet where everybody somebody get knocked out or whatever anything happens World Star and then you had Vlad tvd TV, you had you had This Is fifty, and you had Forbes DVD. So when I look at the sport that we in hip hop music entertainment, I think it breaks all color barriers. And I'm gonna tell you why, Because when I'm overseas and somebody knows my daughter name, my son name knows everything about my life and they break down when my album dropped. This that person might not even black or be black. Or if we in Mexico or Colombia and people know the music, it breaks every barrier in the world. To me, we performed everywhere in the world, Arminia, Dubai, with Italy, France, India, all parts of Africa, Morocco, Johannesburg and Gola. The list goes like, you got some more for me, Tanzania, Give me some more, like like like the barber and the building, give me some more. Give me some more, like give me some more like huh yeah, give me just anywhere in the world because you you heap, like the barber flew more places than me.

00:12:03
Speaker 5: So Qatar.

00:12:09
Speaker 1: Kastan paused that sounds but we were in this pop called Kakastan or something like that.

00:12:16
Speaker 4: Saint Petersburg rushing Moscow. You know, this is what I'm saying. So there is no color barrier or music. I feel like it breaks every barrier because some people that don't even understand English that listen to music.

00:12:29
Speaker 5: You know.

00:12:29
Speaker 4: But back to vlat trolling though, right, you did a good job. Lat I like that man.

00:12:36
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. Hey man, listen, I think that we have to use our brains sometimes, and it's easy to think that there's always a conspiracy, there's always like something behind the scenes and so forth. And that was like, for example, like when I did the KPD interview, part of the reason why I did it was there were so many conspiracy theories about tupacketing killed Sugar. Did it? Like if you want to kill someone and you weigh three hundred pounds and they weigh one hundred pounds, would you have them shoot up the car while you're in it?

00:13:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not too smart, but yeah, you know, nobody trusts Sugar back in them days, though, government's gonna be conspiracy theories.

00:13:17
Speaker 5: You just heard Sugar with pol They swapped the body.

00:13:20
Speaker 2: He's still alive in Cuba, and it's like, all right, well, let me actually show you guys. This is the guy that was actually the car when it happened, the last living person.

00:13:28
Speaker 4: Well, you know, they got the conspiracy now saying Jeffrey Epstein is still alive. A guy looks just like him with the bed walking around. Man, but we don't know.

00:13:37
Speaker 3: Let me didn't didn't Robert Duval pass away today.

00:13:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, rest of peace to him.

00:13:43
Speaker 4: Godfather one of the classic mall movies. What is one of your best classic mall movies? Give me give me four or five of them, or maybe one of two of them.

00:13:50
Speaker 2: Black, I mean, I think my favorite, my favorite favorite just piece of cinema about the Italian Mob's Casino, Okay, just because there's so much longer than a lot of the other films, and it really you got a chance to really develop the story and see the relationships. And you know, Joe Peshi was a lunatic. He was in top for and this one, I mean, Goodfellas is an absolute classic. Godfather too, that was my favorite Godfather film, Donnie Brosco, that was a classic un people love, you know. I interviewed a lot of talime off you guys, trying to get some of them on your show.

00:14:28
Speaker 4: Definitely, who was some some of the mob guys you interviewed some of the people.

00:14:33
Speaker 2: Want to send me the Bull, okay, Samdy the Bull. I remember at one point.

00:14:38
Speaker 3: He told but killed nineteen people. I didn't mean to cut.

00:14:40
Speaker 2: You at least maybe more. Maybe At one point, I remember we talked about this.

00:14:45
Speaker 5: He was selling gonna make him hot, saying maybe more. You don't, but you tried to get him back. I'm telling you not you talking like I can think.

00:14:56
Speaker 2: On his YouTube channel, he was selling uh, Sammy the Bull nineteen shirts.

00:15:01
Speaker 5: Oh that's bold.

00:15:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he said, oh, we took it down. I didn't. I didn't realize they were doing he backed up off that got wow, Yeah, Sammy the Bull, Michael franzis uh man. A lot of a lot of big mob dudes, man, you know, and a lot of FBI agents the busted them, you know, Joey Merlino, the alleged Philly mob boss. It was a really big one they had first ever, like real interview was was on my platform. And now he's out of there, you know. Now he's doing his own podcast and everything else like that. Yeah, man, A lot of a lot of interesting ds, and like Merlino, I felt was the most like active in terms of like a lot of the dudes I interviewed cooperation.

00:15:47
Speaker 5: He was real flashy. He didn't cooperate.

00:15:50
Speaker 2: No, he didn't cooperate it. But but what I'm what I'm saying is is that most of the dudes I interviewed cooperated at some point. Sammy cooperated, Michael Frenzies somewhat cooperated and so forth. Joey never cooperates, So every answer that's moblazing. I don't know.

00:16:06
Speaker 5: They had something about him on Netflix, right the whole Philly Mob. Yeah, that was a fisher. I like the joke.

00:16:11
Speaker 1: What was the name of that, the Philly Mob something like that was on Netflix.

00:16:16
Speaker 5: But I remember that.

00:16:17
Speaker 4: Right now I'm binge watching like I'm binge watching them hijack with Oh my god, man, man, that's like the best thing on TV for me right now.

00:16:30
Speaker 2: You've seen a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

00:16:33
Speaker 5: No, I haven't watched that.

00:16:35
Speaker 2: That's part of the whole Game of Thrones, like Universe. In the last episode, Oh my god, it was like they made a scene where seven Nights have to fight each other in just like this dirt field, and the level of is just something different.

00:16:53
Speaker 5: I'm gonna watch that.

00:16:53
Speaker 2: You think about that, Just a bunch of knights in harbor on horses and jousts and like maces and soul words, just going all out trying to kill each other, seven versus seven. Just a level of violence. So you know, you rarely see that type of violence, like accurately depicted.

00:17:10
Speaker 3: Make you what you're watching light what you're watching like the ball.

00:17:15
Speaker 1: I'm curbently watching Gangs in London right now. Season two just came back out.

We've been in contact ever since and he's like, man, that's what I realized about like this, this new breed of Internet, you know people, is that they don't take nothing personally. They just keep it moving.

00:18:20
Speaker 4: I learned from you, me and Murders getting a lot of hate now that we're blowing up and we're doing a number. Shout to the volume, Shout to all the haters, and I just embraced that.

Speaker 5: It's brother.

00:19:20
Speaker 2: We're gonna take the last interview where where YO kept calling bad buddy Babs Buddy.

00:19:27
Speaker 5: I sw that you had to check. I see that, buddy, Yo.

00:19:33
Speaker 4: I don't know why I be doing that. Sometimes I start calling people when I want to call him out. It's bad happy. I don't know, Man, I don't I'll be tripping. I gotta stop smoking so much, buter and getting the gym to stop. I'm gonna slow down, man, shout to the unit. This mode indoor too.

00:19:53
Speaker 5: I mean.

00:19:53
Speaker 2: What Jimmy said was interesting is that he basically said how all the record labels made a deal with Spotify, and now Spotify is bigger than all the record labels put together in terms of the market cap. If you look at how much Spotify is worth versus what the record labels are worth, all of them put together are worth less than just Spotify, and the record labels only get like a small percentage of the overall pie. So what he was saying is is that in the future Spotify may not be necessary or streaming services may not be necessary because you'll be able to you know, they basically say He basically said that music is like the only industry where the artists or the label and the consumer don't connect with each other. They always go through a third party. So they're always relying on a third party, whether it's you know distribution, well, I mean physical distribution or now digital distribution. It's like they still can't get directly to the person who's buying the product because the middleman controls that. And that's what he's saying. He's saying in the future that might you know, that might change and it needs to change. But we'll see how would that change though, Well, if there is a if you don't need Spotify, right, And what he said was interesting also is that when you look at Spotify, most of the money goes to just the top artists, the Drakes, the Taylor Swifts, the cats, right. And but you know, the way the way it's structured is like let's say a person paid ten pays ten dollars ten dollars a month, a certain percentage goes to who he listens to, and if only one percent is going to the independent artists, like everyone who's uploading music. Who's not this megastar. They're really making almost nothing. The Drakes are doing okay.

00:21:42
Speaker 4: They're not even getting paid. Do you can say they're not even getting paid?

00:21:46
Speaker 5: Okay?

00:21:46
Speaker 2: So so for example on streams, when you look at the catalogs that are up on DSPs with your catalogs, do you guys make a lot of money or not? Really?

00:21:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, I make some money, good amount of money. Shut out the Empire, shout out the guys. Need I just did a deal for seven figures with the music. So it's definitely still money.

00:22:09
Speaker 5: Shut out check never murder project.

00:22:12
Speaker 4: But we definitely do yeah, like we got you know, we got.

00:22:15
Speaker 1: Your still money and music guys. I was saying all by like like tro the ball Man, I'm doing great over there. So it's still money and music for artists like Free Step G and Sleepy. They still making a bunch of music off like so.

00:22:27
Speaker 5: But it ain't Tailor Swift money.

00:22:28
Speaker 1: Of course, we know that it's still money that no people they feeding their families off with this money.

00:22:34
Speaker 4: Like what Jimmy Irving was saying that that the artists like Taylor Swift and Kendrick and like.

00:22:39
Speaker 3: That they and you know, they benefit, you know, because they do streams, they.

00:22:43
Speaker 1: Gonna benefit more, but we're gonna still benefit as well.

00:22:46
Speaker 5: Like were good.

00:22:47
Speaker 1: We don't need tailor Swift money to survive, but we from like that, like you know what I mean.

00:22:51
Speaker 4: No, I understand what you're saying, but I'm saying that's what Jimmy Irving was saying, like, and then he said something about like there's no exclusive something like artists being excuse.

00:23:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exclusives are dead. Everybody people were like dropping on on title exclusively and it wasn't going on Spotify, but then messed up people's first week sales. I think that's the problem is that in music, people care about the perception more so than the money. Right, the fame becomes more important, and it even makes financial sense because a lot of the money comes from the touring, right, So if you don't have the fame, the touring doesn't come with it. But remember everyone was dropping exclusives on title and no one was charting in the top ten, So people just stopped doing that, even though there was might have been more money by dropping exclusively on title. When you don't drop it on Spotify and Apple Music, you don't hit the charts and then it ends up looking like you're not a big artist, and then you know, it's like a domino effect. But there was more money. I remember I looked into like Kanye dropped don to two on the like the stem player. I don't know if you ever saw it. You could actually take out like the vocals, take out the drums. Yeah, he was telling it for like two hundred dollars, and he sold like an insane amount. Like I remember I did the math, and like he made something like two or three million dollars off just that and he didn't even sell that many, but it was a high ticket price and it was direct and it was like yo, and you didn't even hear about it didn't hit the charts, but he made way more than if he had released it publicly and hit the charlest guy. I think that's what Jimmy is saying, and this is that remains to be seen. We'll see.

00:24:33
Speaker 4: I mean, I think guys like Jimmy I Ving could predict the future when it comes to music because we was on Interscope when things was changing, when things went to iTunes and stuff like that. We was in that transition, like we went from hard copies to you know, streaming. So we seen the transition and that's when they you know, did the headphones and was working with Apple. So a guy like Jimmy il Vien and you know doctor Dre, they predicted future in music.

00:25:01
Speaker 5: Like from my opinion, from what I've seen from them.

00:25:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so when he says it, you gotta you gotta, you know, prick your ears.

00:25:07
Speaker 5: Definitely.

00:25:08
Speaker 2: I remember when me and uh le Or Cohen spoke a couple of years ago and I said, what's the main priority for YouTube, because he's the head of YouTube Music Global, he said shorts. I paid attention. I started to doing more shorts, and sure enough, YouTube course have surpassed like TikTok shorts.

00:25:24
Speaker 5: So I never knew that its information.

00:25:27
Speaker 2: Man. When you you know, when people high up talk, you should listen.

00:25:29
Speaker 3: I would think TikTok was more.

00:25:31
Speaker 2: That's crazy now, man, YouTube is a monster and YouTube is a monster. And at the end of the day, in terms of businesses, like if you're a business and trying to make money off your content, there's nothing like YouTube. No one even comes close.

00:25:47
Speaker 1: You.

00:25:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, YouTube accounts like ninety percent of our revenue. Yeah, we make a few percent off Spotify, few percent off Facebook, a off of a snapchat, you know, and some other money here and there, but really, really when it comes to serious money and where we really park our content as YouTube.

00:26:07
Speaker 4: So so let me ask you a question because me and Murder was talking about this. Shelter You and Jada Shelter, j Charlemagne to Breakfast Club Envy just hilarious, Laura and everybody. So we know now you no longer see them on YouTube anymore, they're on Netflix. Would you take a Netflix deal if the money was right or you think, what do you feel about that Netflix versus YouTube?

00:26:31
Speaker 1: I don't see blag going in Netflix. I think is YouTube thing?

00:26:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean every every deal you know, makes sense if there's enough money in it, right, but it has to be like like for example, right, I'll just expose this because it was such a stupid deal. Patreon approached me, right, and I've had a lot of bad deal offers, but this this, by far, it was the worst deal offer I ever had. So so they approached this. Listen, you have a really strong membership section of your YouTube channel. You know, we want to talk to you about bringing your members over to Patreon and we'll guarantee you two years of what you would have gotten on YouTube, you know, to go to Patreon. And I said, this sounds interesting, right, So so you know, there's a lot of money because there's you know, talk about thousands of thousands of members.

00:27:23
Speaker 5: Right, so we make a lot of money. Black ahead, keep talking.

00:27:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, okay with an important important part of the business that I've grown over over years and me started with row members and now it's like, you know, over ten thousand members. So uh, I'm like all right. So I had the conversation with everyone and I'm like they're like, yeah, you know, and here you could you know, we offer this, and we offer that. And I'm like, all right, before we go any further, are you asking me to shut down my YouTube membership and go exclusively with Patreon? And they're like yeah, And I'm like, okay, So I'm going to shut down on a successful, growing business and go to you guys to make the same money I'm already making with that business. It doesn't work out over here. I go back and there's no business anymore because once you shut down the membership, all the members go away and you have to rebuild it from zero. I said, how on earth does this make any sense? You offered me the same amount of money I'm making over here to come over there. It don't work out, and I have nothing to go back to. Well, you know lots of people. I'm like, man, this is stupid. Y'all wasted my goddamn time. I said, pay me ten times what I'm making in a year and I'll consider it. I oh, no, we can't do that. And I'm like, well, we don't have a conversation. You know, you waste my fucking time. It's a stupid ass offer. A stupid ass offer. No, that's like saying, listen, whatever you guys make in streaming money, I'll match it for two years and then if it doesn't work out, you go back to making zero.

00:29:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, it don't make no sense. I can give me some extra I need something.

00:29:08
Speaker 2: There was nothing that I said, give me ten times, give me a ten year stretch to work it out, and then you know, give me that money up front. We could talk about it. I know we can't do that.

00:29:17
Speaker 4: How do you feel about our set up? Because right now they got all these fucking lights. I feel like I'm in a spaceship a little bit super pop up up. We got the lights canvas action man. But Yo, the number one rule you always told me was and was to embrace the hate. And I'm really getting it now. And shout to all the people that show the love that been watching the show. You know, y'all make sure you know we sponsored by hard Rock Betting. You may make sure y'all like share, subscribe, you're doing them numbers. Hold on Murder.

00:29:46
Speaker 5: We said we we're gonna stop cutting each other.

00:29:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, we reading the comments talking about our arguing and cutting each other off.

00:29:54
Speaker 5: See Murder. This the whole thing.

00:29:55
Speaker 3: You gotta understand. People gotta understand.

00:29:57
Speaker 4: My mefort to the madness is I don't watch my own videos any glad I did Shinn and Sharp anything I do. I never watched back Andrew Schultz kill Tony. I never watch it. I don't know if Murder's watching it. I'm not watching it, and I don't read comments. But I always embrace the hate, and I see who's hate I'm watching them. I watch everything. But we appreciate everybody, Lad, And what's your advice to people in the podcast world to you know, to embrace the hate? Like, what what advice you give us in this game right here.

00:30:34
Speaker 2: I think that you have to figure out what exactly you're really good and passionate about. I think a lot of people try to chase what other people are doing and that doesn't work out. Like Joe and Jada are authentically who they are and that's why people like the podcast, right But a lot of people try to emulate other people and it doesn't work. And not only that, but you have to be prepared to go a long time without making any real money because not only do you go in with the deal like you guys have, right, but even with the deal that you guys have, you guys have to bring the numbers of course, so you know what I'm saying. So if you guys will get the upfront deal, but then a year two years into it, if you're not pulling the numbers, that deal will end and you guys don't have to start over, you know, on a different platform or your own platform or everything else like that. You have to be prepared to go in this in the long run. Glad TV start in two thousand and eight, so we're now eighteen years into this of doing this every day like literally no days off, no real vacations, you know, putting out content three hundred and sixty five days a year. Certain interviews hit, certain ones don't. But we just keep going and a lot of people come in, you know, do it for a little while and then see that doesn't compete with the type of money they're already making, and then they quit. You see what I'm saying, deal or no deal, you still have to look at it as a real job as opposed to just a side hustle. Got you see what I'm saying. If you treat it seriously, you could do great with it. You know. Nori came in after I did, he did great with it. Gillian Wallow came in a way after I did, did great with it. Academics out of twenty two, you've seen a lot of people. But if you look at all those people, they took it really seriously, you know, whereas other people it's just a little side gig. They do, you know, an interview every so often, they do a podcast every so often. You know Nicki Mina, she was doing her radio thing every so often. It didn't really stick, right, Drake doing it every so often. You know, they get these deals, but they don't stick with it. So the people that are really, really successful, they take it one hundred percent seriously and they stick with it, and whether they have a deal or whether they don't have a deal, they still are trying to put out the highest level of content because the deal is not going to stay if the numbers don't stay, you know, don't coincide with the amount of money. Nobody goes into this game to lose money. And I talk to people all the time when you know, we have conversations that people expect, Oh, I want to get paid this much to do an interview, and it say, well, this does make financial sense, so no offense. I'm not saying you're not worth what you feel your worth, but I know what it's going to make on my and there's no point of paying you twice what I'm gonna make, right, That's just me putting myself on the whole. And I've had interviews where I've lost money, but not that often because I've gotten pretty good at at figuring things out.

00:33:18
Speaker 5: Blad.

00:33:18
Speaker 1: You know what I want to know, Why do you interview Tony Yayo so much?

00:33:23
Speaker 5: Blad?

00:33:25
Speaker 1: I'm ah, that's elementary, Acla. The question elementary, Why did you interview Tony yayo so much.

00:33:36
Speaker 5: Well, who wanted to know.

00:33:39
Speaker 2: Look, the plan was not to interview Tony Yo a bunch of times. The plan was just to do one interview, right, and you know, when we do an interview, we kind of do like a life story piece on that person, so as it so happens, and Tony remembers me and him were not on the best of terms we did this interview. There's a little bit attention.

00:34:00
Speaker 4: I'm at a point my brother, he used to work out, just like me and Fat Joe. Things could work out. Look, shout at the value. Shout to Joe and Jada. Look he help us get this deal over breakfast in Belgium or Germany where you said yeah.

00:34:12
Speaker 2: And you could even tell that first interview me and him, there's a little bit of tense energy between us, right, that whole shut the fuck up that came from the first interview, but it came out and look, I could have cut out the whole shut the fuck up and go man, he disrespected me. Fuck there, I ain't gonna put that out. I mean, I have final cut. I could cut out whatever I want. But I'm like, no, I'm gonna run with this. This this is actually funny. And this became a meme right to this day.

00:34:37
Speaker 5: Why me meme?

00:34:40
Speaker 2: Meme mean?

00:34:41
Speaker 5: It became I'm gonna help you with a couple of these girls.

00:34:45
Speaker 4: I know the words, but this mean this is a mean word too, right this meme and meme or no, it's just me alright.

00:34:52
Speaker 2: Right ship it became a meme. The interview did big numbers, and then it was like, let's try a second interview. Did a second interview and it did solid numbers. And then it became a profitable and mutually profitable relationship. And over time it also became a personal relationship. Me and Tony started talking more offline and I got to really see who he was as a person. And you know it's like me and him start a vibe with each other and everything else like that, you know, hung out. You know, we would have breakfast at the country club and you know.

00:35:22
Speaker 4: These sheltered at Calabasis country kid, we're doing different things. Embrace the heye man, I learned from Bla bled. They say, you know you're a coach of Vota. You don't you know, you don't respect people. Tell him how much money you spent because you spent the most money guests.

00:35:41
Speaker 5: I've paid out.

00:35:42
Speaker 2: I've paid out over a million dollars to guests, and I could even I could even like, if I had to, I could even break it down by each guest. You see what I'm saying, Like, I don't think there's anyone in this space that has paid that amount of money to guess. And I feel like before I started doing it, this was considered a no no in the media game. It's like if you do an interview supposed to be for free, right, sixty minutes is free, you know Diane Sawyer free, Like it's always you know Oprah free, you know radio station's free. So during the pandemic, I'm like, Yo, listen, some of these people who are my regular guests are hurting right now, like especially like the comedians. The comedians were hit the worst because they suddenly couldn't tour and that's how they made their money. So I said, Yo, let me start putting some money in some of these comedians pockets that are still rocking with me. And now I'm not depending on just a favor or the relationship. It's like, Yo, let's turn into a real business. Like, Yo, I'm going to pay you I'm going to put it out. We're both going to make money. And that created a whole industry and of itself. I remember when me and Birdman first had our conversation, he was like, man, like, what you did was interesting because I never saw anyone pay for interviews, and now you've created a whole business around it. Now people support themselves through paid interviews, and now everyone pays, you know, more or less he you know, and so forth, And you had all these businesses that have flourished, and the people who have gotten paid have now created their own careers and you know, create their own podcast like you for example, Tone Like, you know, you went from getting paid to do interviews, so now doing your own podcast.

00:37:20
Speaker 5: I mean definitely, and that's not a coincidence.

00:37:23
Speaker 3: Me being on vlat TV gave me the experience.

00:37:26
Speaker 4: And you gotta have tough skin, you know what I'm saying, to be on YouTube, and you gotta be smart, and you gotta be strategic. And to anybody, lad as one of them platforms that every artist or anybody should go to, because it's a big platform. When I'm overseas in Europe anywhere, everybody the number one interviews.

00:37:43
Speaker 5: They always talk about as glad TV.

00:37:45
Speaker 4: Even we did shout to the Black Caucus family out there in Albany. We're chilling with the mayor and the congressman. You know, all of them was talking about you know, flat TV. They seen interview, another viral one, another one in the books.

00:37:59
Speaker 5: You know it was great, good promo, you know what I mean. And they watched lads.

00:38:05
Speaker 4: You know, smoke Duck is like it's super viral, you know, shout to everybody every time they put it up.

00:38:11
Speaker 5: I definitely post them.

00:38:13
Speaker 4: And I think it's pretty dope because you got people from all walks of life that are showing how dope it is the vacation. They're showing their vacation and they send them even smoke Duck in my Morocco.

00:38:23
Speaker 5: It's even more motivation for me.

00:38:26
Speaker 4: Now, I don't want to go places that we haven't been, Like you know, I don't know where we haven't been.

00:38:33
Speaker 5: I definitely got to get to Haiti.

00:38:34
Speaker 4: That's one place, Shout told my Thous that's one place I haven't been. We're supposed to go to Wide Cliff what was that way back? You know, but Shout told Myzos, I definitely want to go to Haiti, nice resort.

Speaker 3: Never been to Haiti. I'm born in America.

00:38:55
Speaker 4: I would have got deported if I wasn't born here because I had felting these and stuff, so they would have sent me back to Haiti.

00:39:01
Speaker 2: Right, But you never. But I'm saying, your family's from there, your nerveing back, you should go.

00:39:04
Speaker 4: Mann, That's one trip that I definitely want to take. All kind of things happen in Haiti. Man, it's it's you know, but it's a real beautiful country, beautiful water. You know what I'm saying. It's real nice resort. So you know, my mom's telling me that all the time. So I definitely want to go out there.

00:39:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the same island.

00:39:36
Speaker 4: You can say that, but but I love you know, I'm talking about the Haitian potato salad, which I love. It's like beats instead of regulatious potatoes. Is beats in it too, so it's red.

00:39:47
Speaker 5: So I love that.

00:39:47
Speaker 4: But Dominicans people do it the same way too. Shout to the Dominican people.

Speaker 4: Not Manaires which guys don't care.

00:42:53
Speaker 5: Mann.

00:42:56
Speaker 2: And even though I predicted that Tory was to go to jail, I have publicly said, because I did an academic stream the other day, I'm like, based on what he's gone through, he's been locked up for a couple of years. He got stabbed her way worse than what happened to Megan. I personally feel that he deserves to come out at this point. I feel that he's paid his debt to society.

00:43:16
Speaker 4: Were we all agree to me me, I'm cop out, master flex man, I'm copping out.

00:43:22
Speaker 1: You say you got two, you say you got two? A year probation guy, If he capped out, yo, I heard.

00:43:29
Speaker 2: I had heard from some people around him that it was as low as a year and a half. No. Yeah, but this was before Because you got to understand that Megan wasn't involved in the investigation originally. It wasn't until he started antagonizing her that she said, Okay, I'm going to cooperate. Originally she didn't want to cooperate. That's why she said, oh, I didn't get shot at I stepped on glass. She actually was trying not to escalate the situation with the police. But then he starts mocking her and everything else like that, and it's like, okay, now she started and then that's when she started to cooperating, once he started to cooperate. But there was that window before her cooperation where you could have copped out to a year and a half, end up doing whatever, nine months, you know, stay time and been home and making music right now.

00:44:11
Speaker 1: But when she did decide to cooperate, where they orfering it any other time besides ten years ago.

00:44:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had heard it was like a year and a half, two years, and I heard at one point it was like four years. But then you know, but then at one point it was just it was over. You know, it's like, all right, we're going to trial. Yeah, you gotta you gotta, you know, I mean, he was making songs about her. He was making songs about her. Who makes songs about the the victim that they shot that's going to take the stand against him?

00:44:41
Speaker 5: He did have a song, right, what was it called?

00:44:43
Speaker 2: Against what?

00:44:43
Speaker 5: He did have a song out?

00:44:44
Speaker 2: Then you know, he meant that there was a lyric in there. You know how you get got or something something something?

00:44:51
Speaker 5: How much got in? Now?

00:44:52
Speaker 2: Though, what are you like eight years or something?

00:44:54
Speaker 3: You know how much time he'd been in so far?

00:44:57
Speaker 1: Two years, I think, can think about two maybe going like too yeah.

00:45:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, but did you ever see the stabbing video? Did you watch the video?

00:45:08
Speaker 5: The stabbing video?

00:45:09
Speaker 2: Oh my god, man, Like when you saw that, like that guy tried to kill him? That was not just like a message that he really tried to kill him. Like Tory's lungs collapsed. They had an airlift him to a real hospital. The prison hospital was not equipped to deal with those types of injuries. That's how bad it was. They had an air lift him to a whole different hospital and do surgery. So so think about think about that whole situation, right, who that's crazy. But you know, once again, you know that's why I was like, oh yeah, j paid that dude to stab him up. Now what had happened was you got a dude who was a pedophile, who's doing life in prison, who has a girlfriend on the outside, and Tory allegedly was flirting with her during visiting days. Now, you know, think of out just in the real world, trying to get a girl that you like and you know, you know, form a relationship with her and find someone that you're compatible with and so forth. You're doing life in prison for killing an underage girl, it's a little harder for you to find a girlfriend, you know what I'm saying. And now R and B superstars in there flirting with her. I can see how you was snap.

00:46:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, allegedly, we don't know if that's the story, but allegedly that's how I posed.

00:46:29
Speaker 2: That's the story. That's the story. But if you look at toy Man, all his problems always revolve around women. It all goes back to a woman.

00:46:36
Speaker 5: Every time you're glad you know what. I want to ask you what you think about.

00:46:41
Speaker 1: L Russell saying Lil Wayne never really said nothing in his music, meaning like no substance. I just seen an interview with that. He was like, he was a big fan of Low Wayne. I guess he said as he got older and revisited Lol Wayne's music, he said he realized that Lil Wayne wasn't saying nothing.

00:47:00
Speaker 2: I don't know the Russell personally. I know, you know, he's from the Bay Area.

00:47:04
Speaker 1: So he just signed the Rock Nation being there and he just signed the rock Nation.

00:47:07
Speaker 2: He just signed a rock Nation, and I don't I don't know him personally, so I can't say, well, this is what I think he was thinking. But from the outside looking in, I think that the Russell has been independent for so long, it's been under the radar because of that, then that he actually, you know, has this opportunity that he's getting all this attention. He's on rock Nation, everyone's looking at him. I think he's he's turning up. He's trying to troll. He's trying to get them on the algorithm and by saying stuff like that, here we are talking about it. Okay, I think it was calculated. I think it was calculated.

00:47:37
Speaker 1: So then what she was doing was trolling too, then, right, trolling.

00:47:44
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. When you guys got into the altercation with John on the plane and started and.

00:47:50
Speaker 1: Started recording, Murder trolled him.

00:47:56
Speaker 4: I was having some fun. But you know what's crazy about that. Murder had it for like two three days. He didn't really care about it, and then you know, shout out to TMZ. They started calling and it was like, yo, it is what it is. Every listen, everybody have their opinion on it and saying, you know, we the bullies, and some people saying, oh, that's what's up. And even Congressman and Senate was coming to why did y'all keep job the plane? I mean, some things just happened. When you got the mayor of Aubany coming to you like, y'o, why'd you kick job of the plane? All he Senate people and the governor was the governor, she was there, the Attorney General Trump, Yeah, they're all there, and they you know, they're all saying why do you kick them off the plane? Were like yo, Sometimes things just happen. Then people saying what they would have did? I would have knocked them out, y'all, y'all go fees, y'all this y'all well, I would have listen, bro, we gotta fly and make money. So we damned if we do. We damned if we don't. If we were snuffed them and got eighty six door flights, everybody like stupid, YO, fifty give me your job.

00:48:57
Speaker 5: Fifty to fifty.

00:48:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, let me get their job. They do no more smoked duck. They would have shared on you. And when we you know what I'm saying, and we don't do it. We goofies. Yo, they' not like that. Don't ever let this podcast shit fool you brother. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean because sometimes now we got the podcastle people feel, you know, but everybody can have an opinion, and I learned from you embrace the hey.

00:49:22
Speaker 1: Not blast something else. I want to ask you, do you think Michael Jordan could be canceled? Because it was just footage of him grabbing on the low kick. But you know what I'm saying, it's a little crazy shot. I don't even know if he could be considered the goat no more lights or after that buck grabbing he was doing. I'm just saying Mike was doing a lot of butck grabbing. Mike, Mike was doing a lot of butt grabbing. My man, lights are over here. We we have a lot of debates about sports. You know, I think Lebron is to go. He think Kobe's the go there. Michael Jordan is always in the you know who's supposed.

00:49:52
Speaker 5: To be the king go?

00:49:53
Speaker 3: He said as black Ware he had, you know, gonna say Jordan's.

00:49:56
Speaker 1: But I do want to I wander know, do you think Michael Jordan could be canceled? Because they they videos out there surfacing to him, grabbed a little kid button all that. But ya said, they said the kid parents didn't even look mad with Mike Graant.

00:50:09
Speaker 5: No, they didn't even think you. I think that was I don't know.

00:50:12
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna make an excuse for him, but people gonna say, that's like a basketball celebration coming from him. Now, if it was somebody else, yeah, look woild it do look wild. Don't get me wrong. But you hear people saying was a pause? It was crazy, bro, it was I'm not gonna say pause or nothing. It was crazy to pause. But what I'm listening to what I'm saying, that was a let you talk, because you don't.

00:50:33
Speaker 1: I think the way Mike squeezed it looked like if it was Ai Inn then not.

00:50:38
Speaker 4: But the way I'm not saying that. But what I'm saying is you are you still going about Jordan's.

00:50:42
Speaker 5: It was a pause. Look, let's look at the video.

00:50:45
Speaker 2: Let's look at the video.

00:50:48
Speaker 3: It dude, look crazy, but the video go back to the video.

00:50:52
Speaker 5: Hands squeen said, look at the hands squeens and they did some more. Now was that a pause?

00:50:59
Speaker 2: Yet?

00:50:59
Speaker 4: It was crazy? I'm not saying it's not crazy. What I'm saying is this Michael Jordan's. So people don't forget about it in a couple of days because it's Michael Jordan's.

00:51:06
Speaker 5: But that as me and you just watching that video. Was that a pause?

00:51:10
Speaker 4: I'm not saying a pause. I'm saying it's crazy. It was crazy. It looked crazy. It was a pause moment for Michael Jordan's.

00:51:17
Speaker 5: What do you think? Like what you think?

00:51:19
Speaker 2: I give it a pause?

00:51:20
Speaker 5: You give it a pause? Black.

00:51:23
Speaker 4: No, I'm not saying a pause is totally different than what that was.

00:51:27
Speaker 5: That looks crazy. A little kid. Oh, he's gonna look.

00:51:30
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say, Okay, I got it, y'all talking about pause?

00:51:34
Speaker 5: That looks crazy? What you think beyond pause? So would you still by the Jordan's.

00:51:41
Speaker 4: It just looks it looks It looked crazy on the camera. But what I'm saying is it looks like a celebration. But it's Jordan. You know people are gonna be like, no, if it was, you just said it's past pause. So I still I don't want to who you. I got Jordan's on my feet now you're gonna wear them too.

00:51:58
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, you said it's beyond pause. That's what you said. I mean, it's on the people. I don't know.

00:52:02
Speaker 3: I just seen the video for the first time. All I'm saying.

00:52:05
Speaker 4: I heard about it and some people were saying this Ai and it's not a big deal.

00:52:09
Speaker 5: And he just won. That was that Ayas on it.

00:52:13
Speaker 3: That was his son. So I don't want to insinuate like that.

00:52:16
Speaker 4: Jordan is wanted to go, so I would just think it's, you know, a celebration, So I don't want to think.

00:52:21
Speaker 5: Like that, you know what I'm saying. And that was the driver.

00:52:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's his first time winning, So I don't you know what I'm saying.

00:52:28
Speaker 5: I know how it looked, though I saw the video earlier.

00:52:31
Speaker 1: I'm glad that was just seeing it because it looked crazy.

00:52:35
Speaker 4: I heard about it. Look crazy. But people say it's Ai. But you know Jordan is still it's not Ai.

00:52:40
Speaker 2: Ai.

00:52:41
Speaker 3: No, it's not Ai. That's what people were saying.

00:52:43
Speaker 5: No, it's not Ai. Calm down, but it's not Ai.

00:52:48
Speaker 3: Calm down, brother, I didn't say it wasn't Aim.

00:52:51
Speaker 5: I don't know.

00:52:52
Speaker 1: We might have to take those Jordans off his feet, man, we might have to take the Jordans off his feet play.

00:52:57
Speaker 4: What are you talking about? I mean, you never be able to do that. So once you asked me what size I wear, I know that means pop. I learned that on a man for all the guys. Yeah, but the jaws might be they might be no good no more.

00:53:17
Speaker 1: He might say, niggas might have to take them jawings off.

00:53:25
Speaker 2: I'm just said this pardicular situation. I don't think he's really gonna get canceled like this because it's not like he's doing this privately somewhere and they got a footage of him, like he's obviously around a ton of people, everyone's celebrating. I think he's trying to pack the kid out the way sort of, and you know, the way he did it I thought was in appropriate. But it's not like he's meeting underage kids or you know, this was a hidden video somewhere that you know it was just him and a kid by themselves. Like, absolutely, he'd be canceled if that was the case. But I think this is just him. Listen, Jordan is when I talked to that that's played with him. He has a level of competition that's just insane, right, Like he will play dice with his uh security guards, you know, for a dollar, and expect them to pay that dollar at the end.

00:54:14
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying about that money man.

00:54:16
Speaker 2: He remember he got caught up in the golf gambling situation, like like he really like when he gambles or when he competes. He's not like the rest of us. So I think that this is his first like whatever race car championship ever, So he's like, you know, suddenly he's back into his Jordan.

00:54:34
Speaker 5: Mode, like he was just excited. He was excited, he's excited.

00:54:38
Speaker 2: He's just like I thought the kid was a teammate. That's what it kind of looked like to me. It didn't look like, oh, let me go feel up on this little kids.

00:54:44
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, to be doing that to a teammate neither. But he.

00:54:55
Speaker 2: Knows, he knows he can't be slick about it. Everyone's filming this, So I just think he just caught up in the moment and he's just yeah, that's what I think. But then again, listen to some other shit come out. Then they're gonna go back to this video a gain.

00:55:06
Speaker 5: Definitely going back to that video. They definitely going back.

00:55:10
Speaker 3: Who's your top five basketball goats.

00:55:14
Speaker 2: In order? Just five period, in any order you want to anywhere I want. Okay, Jordan's Shack, Kobe, Ai and Lebron.

00:55:37
Speaker 1: That's no order, that's just your top five top five. Yeah, got you got you. That's a that's a good top five, good top five.

00:55:45
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:55:46
Speaker 5: I know my man like me and my man. Let go right.

00:55:49
Speaker 2: People forget about Shack a lot like Shaq was just level of dominance. He had you know who who could push around Shock out there? Anyone.

00:55:59
Speaker 1: Shack was the truth. Even though Hakeem used to be giving it to him. Yep, Kim used to be giving it the Shack. So I to Kobe Lebron, enjoy how you rate them?

00:56:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go Jordan, Kobe Lebron.

00:56:17
Speaker 5: Okay, that's your opinion, Jordan Koby Lebron.

00:56:20
Speaker 2: Because I feel like when it comes down to it, when when everything is on the line and that player has to hold the whole team down, I think that's the order that you see it in. When Jordan down, you don't even pass the ball and nobody right, you know, it's not a team sport anymore. It's over here.

00:56:44
Speaker 3: The best ball in the US Smith.

00:56:50
Speaker 2: No, but I can see an argument for Lebron being the goat.

00:56:53
Speaker 1: I can see cause of course there you go, laugh cause he's.

00:56:57
Speaker 2: All valid arguments.

00:56:58
Speaker 1: That's just flat opinion. It's just last opinion. Yeah, Bron the goat.

00:57:03
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, listen, man, my man John Sally, he just came by the house recently. That's my man, you know. But that's my actual friend. But I'm not gonna say he's better than Jordan. You know, people say that either, right, But I think those three there's an argument you could you could switch all those three around who you are. And I feel like the younger generation because because you're you're younger than me murdered. I feel like like they just gravitate towards Lebron because they got to see it in real time. There's something different. Like I got to experience Thriller when it came out. I remember going to the store and buying the cassette and hearing the songs, when I remember seeing the beat It video, seeing the Thriller video, you know, seeing the bad video, everything else like that, Like like this is brand new music. You can't really know. You can't go back to some old ship and have the same experience of the person who actually lived lived through it.

00:58:03
Speaker 5: Right.

00:58:03
Speaker 2: This is why I'm not a huge Beatles fan, because I'm just too young for that, right. But my older cousins they love the Beatles, like, oh, like they're you know, they're like Jesus. But you know, for the younger generation, it's going to be Lebron. For the older generation is going to be Jordan. For in the middle, it's going to be Kobe. And people just gravitate because they're seeing the games in real time. They're going to the games, they're experiencing it, you know, they're meeting the players sometimes, you know, like an eighteen year old doesn't really know about Jordan, like that. They can wash the tapes, they can wear the shoes, but it's not like actually experiencing you know, the three peat and everything else like that, and just the you know how how Jordan came in and think about it. Before Jordan, it was a totally different NBA.

00:58:47
Speaker 5: It was slow. It was slow.

00:58:50
Speaker 2: People were not yeah I mean, but I mean just like just the hype of it, like who was really buying magic Johnson's converses. Many people wore them, but it wasn't like when the Jordan threes came out, it was like, yo, what.

00:59:03
Speaker 5: Is this, Like this is actually had converse?

00:59:06
Speaker 2: I don't yeah, yeah, yeah, what.

00:59:09
Speaker 5: Was that called? The weapons? Larry Magic, Larry Larry Bird has the niggas too.

00:59:17
Speaker 2: Him and Larry Bird I think had conferences.

00:59:21
Speaker 5: The weapons. I never knew that.

00:59:23
Speaker 3: Oh I never even knew that. That's some basketball history right there.

00:59:26
Speaker 2: But they were just the regular looking you know, like the Jordan ones are kind of regular looking basket Choose.

00:59:32
Speaker 1: Your weapon, like lead the weapon, choose your weapon. That's crazy, that's crazy.

00:59:40
Speaker 5: Look at that.

00:59:40
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you know Jordan came in and like, yo, people weren't getting robbed for sneakers until the Jordans came out, Right, you never hear people getting robed for their pumas, Like the Jordan's not like the Jordans.

00:59:59
Speaker 5: You ain't lying.

01:00:00
Speaker 2: And the price point was crazy. It was like it was so expensive at the time, and it's like, yo, like these are investments on your.

01:00:06
Speaker 3: Feet, hey fly, you know what makes Jordan's special to me?

01:00:09
Speaker 4: And like when you we just watched the All Star Game, right who won the East of the West?

01:00:13
Speaker 5: Who won? Like the All Star Game, you did the Young Boy they did. They did it different this year.

01:00:18
Speaker 1: They had the All Stars, the young come in and they had the World League.

01:00:21
Speaker 3: The World League. So so who won?

01:00:24
Speaker 5: The Young Boys? The young boy? The young boys won?

01:00:28
Speaker 4: Right back in the days, didn't Michael Jordan do the slam dunk contest?

01:00:32
Speaker 5: Right now?

01:00:33
Speaker 3: It was the world make the All Star Game crazy?

01:00:36
Speaker 4: If we had Lebron win Biyanna and give me somebody else, you would think it was I think and wild say we all had them, John Moran say, we had them in a in a slam dunk contest. You know how much views would go up for the All Star Game. No more stars really want to do nothing when you've seen Lebron is not doing a slam dunk contest, But Jordan did so that to me, that's what makes it better. When you, oh, Kobe did it too? Oh a right, did you go like Kobe did it to y'all? But imagine if them names was on a slam dunk contest.

01:01:12
Speaker 1: Be popping right now, Ebie popping, shout out to my god, mo power by indooring.

01:01:19
Speaker 5: The building for show. Indoor in the building. Yeah.

01:01:24
Speaker 1: But now if you look at some of these high school kids, I'd be seeing some some clips on the Grammar some the kids that be doing some of these dunks, they'd be getting busy. They need to bring them in the league to at least entertain the people. Man, they don't got to be in the league before a slam Dunk contest. Go get the best dunkers in the world and let them get busy. The young white boy, he was killing it. I think he on Indiana now something. He was killing it for a minute.

01:01:45
Speaker 3: Though you call him a young white boy. What's his name?

01:01:48
Speaker 1: I forgot his name, young Indiana man. They know who I'm talking about. He won the Slam Dunk contest I think years mclum, mcclomb, yeah, Clo. He was killing and he was killing the dunk cons. I don't know why they have him in it this year.

01:02:04
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't it sort of like but now you got these dudes like Wemby who are just they don't even have to do just walk over and just put the ball in there.

01:02:13
Speaker 4: But just imagine his name being in the Slam Dunk Contest with Lebron, John Moran and Edwards or something. Just imagine that lineup that alone. To sell an old star game stars need to start doing that. That's what we want to see for the slam Dunk Contest in a three point contest, you know what I'm saying.

01:02:30
Speaker 2: They don't. I mean, I guess it's just I don't know. I do know.

01:02:36
Speaker 5: No, No, I do know, I do know.

01:02:37
Speaker 2: You know. The real reason is why they would lose to smaller names. Lebron would lose the slam Dunk contest.

01:02:48
Speaker 5: Right and Lebron too old now, But.

01:02:50
Speaker 2: I'm saying a lot of these bigger names would lose to the smaller names. Yeah, and it was they would look like the losers, you know what I mean.

01:02:58
Speaker 1: I think that they think it would hurt the brain something like that. They feel like it hurt the brand. Things like that.

01:03:04
Speaker 2: Sell less shoes and blah blah blah.

01:03:05
Speaker 5: You know, like Luca Lebron is an icon.

01:03:08
Speaker 2: You know he lost the slam Dunk Concert, Like, now, fuck these shoes, Like I think. I think that's what it is, the perception because it's it's a solo competition. It's not like, Okay, well I lost the All Star Game, but I was with a whole bunch of other players, you know whatever. I played a one on one competition and I lost to someone who's.

01:03:27
Speaker 4: There's no excuse when Jordan and Kobe do it. Like like said, there's no excuse but they if Jordan, listen, if Jordan and Kobe did the slam Dunk contest, there's no excuse for no other star or icon not to do it.

01:03:40
Speaker 2: Bro.

01:03:40
Speaker 5: I'm just keeping it real in my opinion.

01:03:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would love to see it, But I just don't think it's gonna happen. You know, I think SGA gonna do you know.

01:03:48
Speaker 1: Everybody protecting their interest in that.

01:03:51
Speaker 2: Their brands, they're interesting, every more money in it. Now. What happens is that when you have these slam dunk conscientt is a bunch of dudes that are like, you know, role players and stuff like that. You know, like the white boy you mentioned. You know, we're all talking about him now, but he had nothing to lose. He don't have his own shoe.

01:04:06
Speaker 5: You don't got no problem with black call him the white boy? Who glad? Glad you said the white boy?

01:04:11
Speaker 1: I was letting y'all talk, all right, let you're not here, don't.
