Speaker 1: Media. So look, here's the thing about pimping, hood politics, y'all.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm okay, I'm sorry, this is too funny
Speaker 1: to me. But and this is not a tape recorder
Speaker 1: condoning the act of pimping. If you can't tell, I'm
Speaker 1: a little sick fighting a little nasal thing. I hope
Speaker 1: I don't sound too bad, but I just had to
Speaker 1: record this while I was still.
Speaker 2: Thinking about it.
Speaker 1: But the thing about pimping is it's not funny, it's
Speaker 1: really that's because it's so absurd.
Speaker 2: The start a thing like this.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm actually laughing at and unbeknownst to me
Speaker 1: being just cartoonishly naive.
Speaker 2: I know pimps. Just I have some friends that are pimps.
Speaker 1: You know. I also have friends that work in rescuing
Speaker 1: women people being trafficked in the sex industry. Like I
Speaker 1: just listen, I'm from the hood. It's complicated now. But
Speaker 1: the thing about pimping is, if we're talking specifically sex,
Speaker 1: sex isn't all that you're selling. You're selling an experience.
Speaker 1: You're selling belonging, you're selling companionship, you're selling self worth,
Speaker 1: you're selling power. That's what I'm really selling. I'm selling
Speaker 1: these John's power for them to finally feel like they
Speaker 1: could get abroad like this. Now, obviously it's not only that,
Speaker 1: but your product is much more than I just want
Speaker 1: a vagiant to put my penis in. Like, It's not
Speaker 1: just that, although maybe sometimes it is. The point is
Speaker 1: product isn't only about the sex, and any pimp would know,
Speaker 1: and any pimp would tell you that if you understand
Speaker 1: the game, the iceberg slim. If you understand the game,
Speaker 1: the rules that make you a good pimp can be
Speaker 1: applied across.
Speaker 2: Many different career choices.
Speaker 1: Because you just have to know what you're actually selling
Speaker 1: right to the john and then also to get the
Speaker 1: person to become your lett hue. Now I say all
Speaker 1: this to say, listen, listen. Anybody can fall for it
Speaker 1: because the product isn't all always just prostitution, pimping coming
Speaker 1: at all different sizes and shapes.
Speaker 2: You understand what I'm.
Speaker 1: Saying, so so so, and we know pimps can come
Speaker 1: in different styles. They come sometimes they real brazen and
Speaker 1: open slap a girl across the face and you're like,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's pimping, bitch, you know,
Speaker 1: let's talking more walking. You know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: gone out there and strut. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Go make my money, you know what I mean? And
Speaker 1: other times it's like, well, how you get to that is?
Speaker 1: You gotta be a little more smooth. You gotta have
Speaker 1: a little more game to you, yo jib. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Why be flying? Like all the rap
Speaker 1: references you hear in these songs about like do you
Speaker 1: want to ride in the backseat of a caddy? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, girl, I'll fly you across
Speaker 1: the world. You know what I'm saying, Like you know
Speaker 1: you take a little girl you know who you know,
Speaker 1: got the little broken home.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They call them early, right, so little little young girl,
Speaker 1: you feel me? Sixteen seventeen, she early. You know, she's
Speaker 1: still she's still in the oven. You know, I understand
Speaker 1: how terrible this is. But I'm trying to make a point.
Speaker 1: You know, you just you get you start prepping her,
Speaker 1: you start showing yourself. Look, man, so when you for
Speaker 1: her lunch money, it's not twenty that's one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: I'm saying. She ain't never carry no hundred outs. Look,
Speaker 2: you want to ride.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You're riding in this nice
Speaker 1: g wagon. You feel me, girl, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like I fly you, I fly you to turks of
Speaker 1: k Co's. Baby, listen, so you start showing them a
Speaker 1: life that they never have, and you say, look, all
Speaker 1: this and more can be yours. That's all I need
Speaker 1: from you. When I call, you answer the phone. When
Speaker 1: I text, you reply to my text. If I ask
Speaker 1: you to go somewhere, don't ask no questions, Baby, go
Speaker 1: get it. Daddy gonna always take care of you. Daddy
Speaker 1: gonna always protect But I know what you want. I
Speaker 1: can help you get it. And listen for anybody, anybody,
Speaker 1: I don't care what the field is. Anybody, if anybody's
Speaker 1: sitting some contract in front of you, when they whole
Speaker 1: game is the fact that they are the only people.
Speaker 1: They the provider and protector. They are both sustenance you
Speaker 1: under see I'm saying, and provision they are both, and
Speaker 1: they saying you can't get this nowhere else. Baby, Nobody
Speaker 1: gonna love you better. I don't care what that contract is. Listen,
Speaker 1: if you looking at that contract, you looking at that job.
Speaker 1: If you're looking at that position and you think I
Speaker 1: can't walk away from this, if they trying to convince
Speaker 1: you they are the only way you could get what
Speaker 1: you won't, that's pimping. That's like I'm giving you game, man,
Speaker 1: they because they run a game on you. Man. You
Speaker 1: know how many times I've had to look at record contracts,
Speaker 1: and you know a lot of times the majors come
Speaker 1: in there and say, oh, we'll make you a star.
Speaker 1: You know why, because they know I want to be
Speaker 1: a star. But if I can't walk away from this
Speaker 1: and go back to them open mics.
Speaker 2: You're all.
Speaker 1: Man, If you like I'm never going back, you might
Speaker 1: sign away some shit that you ain't know you were
Speaker 1: supposed to sign. You Look at that job, you looking
Speaker 1: at that position, that company telling you you can't ever
Speaker 1: get this place. Look, if you can't slide that contract
Speaker 1: across the table and walk away, be careful. You might
Speaker 1: about to get pimped. Because all that shit come with
Speaker 1: a cost. They tell you they provide you everything you won't.
Speaker 1: But if you want it too bad, if you want
Speaker 1: it so bad, so bad, that's.
Speaker 2: What we call being thirsty.
Speaker 1: You just so thirsty, you might about to get pimped,
Speaker 1: and it happens. That how you get into bad contracts.
Speaker 1: That's how you get into stupid record deals. That's how
Speaker 1: you get into like because you you just had to
Speaker 1: have a thing. You can't walk away. I love doing
Speaker 1: hood politics, love it well. I continue to talk about
Speaker 1: politics and try to like empower young black and brown people,
Speaker 1: inner city folk h to be politically and socially aware
Speaker 1: and to move into But of course I keep doing it.
Speaker 1: But if iHeart decides whatever they decide, like if I
Speaker 1: can't walk away from this, then I got some salt
Speaker 1: searching to do.
Speaker 2: Y'all need to y'all need to keep y'all head about you.

Speaker 1: you knew what it was, You knew what you signed
Speaker 1: up for. Ain't no way you ain't know what you
Speaker 1: signed up for. Listen, let me give you an example,
Speaker 1: another example. I'm not giving examples now, Like listen, look

Speaker 1: the grocery store, you anywhere you outside, you had a party,
Speaker 1: you and walking by whatever, and you hear stuff like like,

Speaker 1: is what you signed up for. Listen, this is what
Speaker 1: comes with it, y'all. You wanted to be able to

Speaker 1: When you in that life, you start losing people very early,
Speaker 1: like actual friends. You start like because you gotta remember
Speaker 1: like you signed up, you start bangling you like in
Speaker 1: middle school. They're like, you know, you eleven, twelve years old.
Speaker 1: By the time you fifteen, nigga, half of your friends
Speaker 1: have died. You know what I'm saying, Like, so you

Speaker 1: Oh, nigga, your own set finna whoop your ass because
Speaker 1: you know what you signed up for, cav mister McCarthy, Sir, sir,
Speaker 1: you knew what you signed up for.
Speaker 2: So for the first time.
Speaker 1: In the history of America, y'all understand, this rule was
Speaker 1: written in the seventeen hundreds.
Speaker 2: Niggie, Niggy, they voted out a speaker.
Speaker 1: And he got the nerve, get on the camera and
Speaker 1: be like, Oh, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna run
Speaker 1: for the position.
Speaker 2: Nigga.
Speaker 1: You never, God damn it. You never should have ran
Speaker 1: in the first place. Oh lord, Okay, let's take a break.
Speaker 2: Ira back now.
Speaker 1: Listen, guys, politics, especially at the level that they're at,
Speaker 1: is a lot of give and take. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of wheeling and dealing. And if you promise this, I'll
Speaker 1: do this. You know, I'll vote for this bridge for
Speaker 1: your state. If you vote for this, you know, to
Speaker 1: help me get rid of this food on my city council.
Speaker 1: Like it's deal making, Like that's what it is. It
Speaker 1: is what it is. The merits of the thing is
Speaker 1: never that's all for show. Let's just be real. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If you are idealist, that gets
Speaker 1: beat out of you quick. It's you make it deals.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you're doing. You make it deals. Right,
Speaker 1: So one could lie to themselves and say that Kevidge
Speaker 1: is making deals.
Speaker 2: Player. That was pimping.
Speaker 1: And why I say that was pimping was very simple.
Speaker 1: He couldn't get the job unless this small handful of
Speaker 1: people they figured it out.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: They know what you want so bad that they could
Speaker 1: be like, what's in it for me? What will you
Speaker 1: do for this? And the second he agreed to the
Speaker 1: fifteenth after the fifteenth vote, and the second he agreed
Speaker 1: to all the concessions they said, they said, we need
Speaker 1: to be able to vote you out with one person.
Speaker 1: And then this nigga had the nerve to blame Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi for it, to say that Nancy told him to
Speaker 1: say yes to it, because she's like, I got.
Speaker 2: Your back, nigga, she retired, Are you serious.
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't care what you have accomplished As a
Speaker 1: speaker of all, I don't care what you've accomplished. And
Speaker 1: for his side of the other ale, he accomplished a
Speaker 1: decent amount of things. It don't matter the second he
Speaker 1: said yes to that rule to his whole party.
Speaker 2: He's a bitch.
Speaker 1: And I don't mean understand what I'm telling y'all. I
Speaker 1: don't mean female. Y'all know I don't talk like this.
Speaker 1: I don't mean female. You're a bitch because you're a
Speaker 1: trained dog, and I dare you to step out of line. Now, look,
Speaker 1: I'm clearly being an extra, you know, with all these
Speaker 1: I I'll be an extra and I know I am,
Speaker 1: so please understand that. Like I'm being an extra to
Speaker 1: prove a point. The point is he was too thirsty.
Speaker 1: And there's this interesting thing around, like this sort of
Speaker 1: interplay of like masculinity in different versions of masculinity, and like,
Speaker 1: you know, the grind culture is like you do anything
Speaker 1: to get to the top. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: it's like, well, don't be a bitch. You know, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: which one is it? Do I do anything until I
Speaker 1: get to that line? But I thought you said, DoD
Speaker 1: do anything. Like it's this weird message that just boys
Speaker 1: never really figure out.
Speaker 2: You know. I still have this.
Speaker 1: Like inner cool guy bully that's in the back of
Speaker 1: my brain always saying all right, not proud, don't be
Speaker 1: no punk now. And then the other side that's like, hey, nigga,
Speaker 1: go get yours. You feel me like, hey, man, hustle,
Speaker 1: like what you're doing taking a nap. I got sick
Speaker 1: last week and I wasn't so I was just mad.
Speaker 1: I was annoyed that I couldn't work, Yo said. It's
Speaker 1: a weird brain thing we go through. It's like be
Speaker 1: hungry but not thirsty. And you kind of got to
Speaker 1: know the difference. I feel like you kind of. Do
Speaker 1: you think he really wanted to bring articles of impeachment?
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: And he can stand on the screen and say he
Speaker 1: proud of being bipartisan. He was doing what was right
Speaker 1: for the country. Listen, you're a bitch. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I never met the man. The man's mat fact, he
Speaker 1: probably got amazing credentials. I mean from Begger's Vie, you know,
Speaker 1: ran businesses up there. But when he signed that contract,
Speaker 1: when he made that deal in the eyes of the
Speaker 1: people that got you that position.
Speaker 2: Again, can't stress this enough. These are pimping rules.
Speaker 1: These are not rules that prop lives by, but there
Speaker 1: are rules we've learned to understand you have to be
Speaker 1: able to stand up, you have to be able to
Speaker 1: walk away, to be able to say I got a code.
Speaker 1: That's one thing I learned indirectly from Nipsey Hustle. One
Speaker 1: of my friends, DJ Moski knew him on a level,
Speaker 1: a personal level level I didn't, right, And when they
Speaker 1: were talking about getting work together and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: like Nipsey said to him, Oh, the problem is you
Speaker 1: don't have no code. He's like, I have a code.
Speaker 1: There are certain things that just that's against my code.
Speaker 1: I will not There's certain lines I won't cross, even
Speaker 1: if it's like for a greater good, for the ends
Speaker 1: just but he's like, no, I have a code. There
Speaker 1: are no ends that justify the means. We have a code.
Speaker 1: And if you ain't got no code, you could be
Speaker 1: played the way that this man is played. Okay, now
Speaker 1: let's get serious as to like what exactly happened and
Speaker 1: where we're going from here. All right, So remember last
Speaker 1: year this was a pretty circusy looking kind of situation
Speaker 1: when Nancy Pelosi decided she was done. Okay, it was
Speaker 1: time to elect a new Speaker of the House. Now again,
Speaker 1: remember we're talking about the House of representatives, which is
Speaker 1: different than the Senate Minority or Senate Majority leader. Right,
Speaker 1: that's still Mitch McConnell Lord Vader, and we don't know
Speaker 1: is he a sith Lord or is he Lord Vader?
Speaker 2: I don't know either way? Man, that man that it
Speaker 2: cracks me up.
Speaker 1: Boy, Yeah, it's also something to be said about, like, bro,
Speaker 1: like it's maybe I just have never had that kind
Speaker 1: of power, but like, I just don't understand.
Speaker 2: I just feel like there has to be a threshold
Speaker 2: to where you're.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm good, Like I can retire, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like I just can't imagine, you know, rest
Speaker 1: in peace. Ms Feinstein. I can't imagine working all the
Speaker 1: way to ninety five. Bro, I can't imagine working. Don't
Speaker 1: like you don't want to retire, Like you don't want
Speaker 1: to just I just don't.
Speaker 2: You don't want to just be.
Speaker 1: A Paul Paul Like it's not I mean, even if
Speaker 1: it's like acuity is different than age, like which we'll
Speaker 1: get into at some point. I'm on a tangent, but
Speaker 1: this is super important for the point I'm trying to
Speaker 1: make here. These people like work till they die, and
Speaker 1: I mean I guess if you can, if it keeps
Speaker 1: you your vitality. I know a lot of times, you know,
Speaker 1: when people retire, they like they deteriorate fast, you know,
Speaker 1: because you don't have you're not as active as you
Speaker 1: used to be.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: But like I feel like, but if you retire and
Speaker 1: you got the type of brand that these people have,
Speaker 1: why you not in Moldova? Why you not backing up
Speaker 1: your grandkids? You feel me and being like, yo, let's go,
Speaker 1: let's go see, let's go to Tibet, Like let's go
Speaker 1: to Joshua Treat this weekend, Like I would be just
Speaker 1: on a river boat, like just gone chilling wood woodland
Speaker 1: in a forest somewhere, just you don't have to work anymore.
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why y'all still want to work.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because, like I said, I haven't attained that
Speaker 1: type of power. I don't understand what Trump want, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand what he wants. He want to
Speaker 1: win like that that's just the point for him is winning.
Speaker 1: But I just feel like, I, you know, it's like
Speaker 1: the old adage like how much is too much? I
Speaker 1: feel like there's definitely a number where you'll I'll be gone.
Speaker 1: But you mean to tell me I don't have to
Speaker 1: generate any more income. Like, I feel like there's a
Speaker 1: number and if I get there, I'm like bye.
Speaker 2: Yo.
Speaker 1: There's this clip of Vince Staples when it was one
Speaker 1: of his earlier tours that he said, you know, he's
Speaker 1: been hearing a lot of people saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: they didn't like the way he was performing, that it
Speaker 1: was annoying that he just kind of stood there. They
Speaker 1: didn't like the show. He said, Okay, well, I'm running
Speaker 1: to GoFundMe. This is the shuck the fuck up fund me.
Speaker 1: He was like, if you give me ten million dollars,
Speaker 1: I'll never do another concert again.
Speaker 2: I'll shut the fuck up. And he's like, if not,
Speaker 2: then you shut the fuck up. Let me do what
Speaker 2: I gotta do. I get it.
Speaker 1: You don't care, I'll cash out, yo, say it, totally
Speaker 1: get it. I think that there's a certain amount of
Speaker 1: like fame and notoriety. Now again, it's probably because I
Speaker 1: haven't gotten there, but I feel like there's a fame
Speaker 1: and notoriety amount that I just wouldn't answer no detractors
Speaker 1: how plugged in you are to our culture. But Drake
Speaker 1: has a way of being very petty when it comes
Speaker 1: to responding to bloggers other artists. He throws these like
Speaker 1: side dishes, dishes, these these like sneak dishes to people
Speaker 1: that from my perspective, it feels like he's punching down
Speaker 1: because I'm like, let's not, that's not lie. Like you're
Speaker 1: one of the you're in the top ten artists in
Speaker 1: the world. I just don't understand why you took a
Speaker 1: whole half hour and full page comment to diss Joe
Speaker 1: Budden just to talk about how he's a failed artist
Speaker 1: and you didn't pivot.
Speaker 2: This was your only option going into like podcasting. Why
Speaker 2: do that?
Speaker 1: And why you've been ducking and dodging Kendrick the whole time?
Speaker 1: It's because you know you don't want to spoke with Kendrick.
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's got to be a level
Speaker 1: of fame that you get to to where isn't that
Speaker 1: beneath you?
Speaker 2: Like why did you take a shots that Joe Butden's
Speaker 2: I thought there's a level you get to that you
Speaker 2: just you ain't worried about none of that.
Speaker 1: And apparently that's because again I've never gotten to the
Speaker 1: level because when speaker McCarthy had a chance to become
Speaker 1: the speaker. I feel like after five votes, I would
Speaker 1: be like, I mean, my pride will kick in.
Speaker 2: Let me be real, like, my pride will kick in.
Speaker 1: But the stuff that they was asking him to do,
Speaker 1: and I remember the former speaker, Paul Ryan, a Republican speaker,
Speaker 1: was like, listen, whatever you do, do not give up
Speaker 1: this thing. And that's the power for one person to
Speaker 1: vote you out right. But Nancy Pelosi told him, look, dude,
Speaker 1: if you give it up, we got you. And the
Speaker 1: thing about Nancy Pelosi, say what you will about her,
Speaker 1: is she was one of one of one of our
Speaker 1: most effective speakers of the House. She got the shit done.
Speaker 1: Nancy was able to get you. You say whatever you
Speaker 1: want about that old lady. She was able to get
Speaker 1: people in the room, figure out, figure out the way forward,
Speaker 1: and get it done. And you hear Republicans talk about
Speaker 1: that talk about her like that too.
Speaker 2: She the most effective.
Speaker 1: She's one of the most effective speakers that they've ever seen.
Speaker 1: She get it done. And that's that's the type of
Speaker 1: role you have to get in the room. You have
Speaker 1: to get it done. You have to have such a
Speaker 1: commanding presence such an ability to there's a gift of gab,
Speaker 1: there's a gift of negotiation, there's a gift of making
Speaker 1: the US person feel like they got it. That's half
Speaker 1: the battle. I need the person I'm sitting across the
Speaker 1: table from. While they must feel empowered, they also got
Speaker 1: to feel like they talking to somebody that like if
Speaker 1: push come to shove, like I'm not the one, like
Speaker 1: you don't want to smoke with me, like I'll like
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm here being kind and I'm laying
Speaker 1: my power down because i want to see you win.
Speaker 1: I want to see us win. But don't get it twisted.
Speaker 1: I'll run this here like you got to kind of
Speaker 1: carry that. But with with With Speaker McCarthy's situation, it
Speaker 1: was over before it started. They they bullied him from
Speaker 1: the back from being like, listen, nigga, this this is
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do. You're gonna get up there and
Speaker 1: you're gonna do what we want. If you want this
Speaker 1: so bad, you want this so bad, then this the
Speaker 1: only way we're voting for you. And I'm assuming in
Speaker 1: his head he thought, I just give you this right now,
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna worry about it. Right now, because
Speaker 1: I know I'm not a punk. I'm just this is
Speaker 1: the ends justify as a mean situation. And they said, okay,
Speaker 1: they probably called in his head, he probably calling a
Speaker 1: bluff like you, I mean you would in torpedo.
Speaker 2: Your own party for this, would you? Are you?
Speaker 1: I mean it's almost like you must have you must
Speaker 1: be tuning into this this season.
Speaker 2: You must have not been watching the past seasons for
Speaker 2: you to.
Speaker 1: Not know that that like my nigga, my nigga care,
Speaker 1: there is no party. You don't have a party like
Speaker 1: your version you are os one my nigga, like your
Speaker 1: version of Republican don't exist. I just I don't understand
Speaker 1: what you don't understand. So then they put him on
Speaker 1: and I mean he.
Speaker 2: Did a few things.
Speaker 1: Well again, they let him do a few things because
Speaker 1: when the push came to shove, they was like, look,
Speaker 1: this is what we need, and some of the things
Speaker 1: were reasonable. Was like, you need to put an actual
Speaker 1: number or price tag on the stuff that we're voting for.
Speaker 2: You can't just say y'all got.
Speaker 1: It, Like I need to know what the actual number is.
Speaker 1: That's some of the stuff they were saying out front
Speaker 1: when it was talking about like approving this budget. But
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about this budget was it was approved
Speaker 1: last year, Like this is this a formality?
Speaker 2: Like the.
Speaker 1: Legislative branch is a trip anyway, So as time went on,
Speaker 1: you could almost see them moving puppeteering from the back.
Speaker 1: They was like, all right, look, we need these biting charges.
Speaker 1: And I could imagine speaking McCarthy being like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't like the man either, but I just don't
Speaker 1: know if we.
Speaker 2: Got a case.
Speaker 1: Was like, you're gonna get out there and you're gonna say,
Speaker 1: we will make the case. You do what we told
Speaker 1: you want you want to lose your job. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose my job. Right, And old
Speaker 1: Matt Gates with his uh facing his uh statutory rape
Speaker 1: charges you know what I'm saying, got the heat up
Speaker 1: off him and was like, all right, that's my shot.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: What's really interesting is you don't see Margie Taylor, Green
Speaker 1: or Bobert. They not voting it. They didn't vote against McCarthy.
Speaker 1: They not one of the eight, which tell me that
Speaker 1: like this ain't necessarily necessarily a Trump move, It's a
Speaker 1: Matt Gates move. Like again, once you taste that power,
Speaker 1: cuz I feel like Matt ain't reached that threshold yet,
Speaker 1: either the threshold I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Oh, he ain't crossed over, like he's still hungry. Right.
Speaker 1: Matt got up there and was like a fool, you
Speaker 1: a sellout. You you do what we tell you to do,
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna vote you out, and McCarthy was like,
Speaker 1: the fuck you will. Matt was like, oh, oh you
Speaker 1: playing with me? All right, watch this. I vote to
Speaker 1: remove the nigga, and remember you the one that chose
Speaker 1: that I could do that, voted to remove him. He
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, he actually did it. It
Speaker 1: was like Ricky Bobby and Jean Gerard when he said listen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be forced to break your arm unless you
Speaker 1: say crapes. He was like, I ain't gonna say crapes
Speaker 1: and then he broke it. He was like, you actually
Speaker 1: did it. Anyway, He actually did it. Voted the man out.
Speaker 1: First time ever I saw a TikTok that was saying listen.
Speaker 1: Band aids weren't even invented when the Speaker of the
Speaker 1: House was created. When this rule was greatd like band
Speaker 1: aids weren't even invented, Like that's how long.
Speaker 2: This is never happened.
Speaker 1: And the only person who's had a shorter tenor in
Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House was because he died of cancer.
Speaker 1: That's the only person who's had a shorter man died
Speaker 1: of cancer. That's why he was going, that's not funny, y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all double check me, well tell you that's what happened.
Speaker 2: Now. Lastly, here's the thought.
Speaker 1: That any bully who sets himself up in a power
Speaker 1: dynamic such as match Gates did with Speaker McCart former
Speaker 1: Speaker McCarthy, you got to really calculate this because if
Speaker 1: you have a grenade, you can only throw it once,
Speaker 1: So you better for damn sure.
Speaker 2: Know when.
Speaker 1: And be absolutely positive that that's that you're ready to
Speaker 1: pull this pin, because once it's pulled, that's it. Do
Speaker 1: you guys understand what I'm saying. He could only get
Speaker 1: the guy fired once. Now it's like, Okay, you got
Speaker 1: your little you got your little your little X speed,
Speaker 1: you got your little clips on you know the the
Speaker 1: nightly news, You got your little you got it. You
Speaker 1: did it. Now what you're gonna do the problem is
Speaker 1: because it's not real power. Let me go back to
Speaker 1: the pimping thing. If I don't care about what you
Speaker 1: have to offer, you feel me like if if I
Speaker 1: could get out of town, if I then it don't
Speaker 1: let's let's make it more like a record deal thing.
Speaker 1: If I. And here's what's interesting about record deals right now?
Speaker 1: What they what what majors are doing is they're looking
Speaker 1: for who already buzzing on TikTok, who already got a
Speaker 1: million views, a million followers on they you know, one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, five hundred thousand followers on the YouTube, and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we'll give you a record deal. Like
Speaker 1: at that point you should be like, well, what can
Speaker 1: you offer me that I don't already? Have you pushing
Speaker 1: five hundred and six hundred thousand subscribers on your YouTube?
Speaker 1: You taking in a couple grand a month on ads alone?
Speaker 1: You you're you already you you killing it on TikTok
Speaker 1: with a million? What do you need the what do
Speaker 1: you need that they're.
Speaker 2: Not offering you infrastructure?
Speaker 1: I mean you could build your own you hire a manager,
Speaker 1: hire a project manager, like you don't at that point,
Speaker 1: you don't need them. So once I understand that you
Speaker 1: actually don't have power over me, because I don't need
Speaker 1: what you're offering.
Speaker 2: It's over like it's it's done.
Speaker 1: And if you're threatening me with some sort of violence,
Speaker 1: remember I told you about my uncle, my uncle Sonny,
Speaker 1: when he used to say stuff like you think I'm
Speaker 1: scared of the police.
Speaker 2: The threat's done when you if you threaten.
Speaker 1: To call the police, you threatening you, like when you
Speaker 1: get brothers that be like, I've been to jail.
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid to go to jail. I've been to jail.
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid of that.
Speaker 1: The threat is done because you don't have anything I'm
Speaker 1: scared of.
Speaker 2: You don't have anything I need.
Speaker 1: If you if you're not afraid to crash, then you
Speaker 1: can fly. If you're not afraid to lose it all,
Speaker 1: you're like you, you.
Speaker 2: Can't be afraid to lose it all, So matten them.
Speaker 1: These people function on the reality that everybody in that
Speaker 1: room was afraid to lose what they got. But once
Speaker 1: you pull the trigger and you lose it, that's it.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: What happens, what happens to Kevin McCarthy goes back to
Speaker 1: being in the House of Representatives, He goes back to
Speaker 1: being a common Still, he's still a congressman.
Speaker 2: You feel me.
Speaker 1: It's a congressman without the stress. I mean, he did it,
Speaker 1: check it off. What's you gonna do to me?
Speaker 2: Now? Right now? You got niggas like Jim Jordan trying
Speaker 2: to run. Who is a wild boy? That's a wild boy.
Speaker 1: They was floating around the idea of Trump running, which
Speaker 1: is so funny. You ever had to see a law
Speaker 1: a rule that you didn't think you ever have to
Speaker 1: say out loud because the situation never called itself because
Speaker 1: it seems so self evident, you know, like, hey, don't
Speaker 1: lick the wall like you know, o little stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us ever thought about the
Speaker 1: fact that do you have to be in Congress? Do
Speaker 1: you have to be actually a member of Congress to
Speaker 1: be able to be the Speaker of the House? Like,
Speaker 1: don't you got to actually be a member? Don't you
Speaker 1: got don't you actually have to be in the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives before you can be the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 1: They talking about Trump running for the position, Like I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody ever thought of that. Don't you got
Speaker 1: to be a member of Congress be able to be
Speaker 1: in charge of Congress? I mean, it's not written. Noway,
Speaker 1: if you say, ain't no rule that says it, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. Ain't no rule that says you
Speaker 1: can't bend over eat your dog's doodoo.
Speaker 2: I guess ain't no rule. But I just I didn't
Speaker 2: think i'd have to make that rule.
Speaker 1: And man jump. Then it said where are the fences?
Speaker 1: And watch me push at him? And boy is he pushing.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
