Yeah, two out here, three at home, 208 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: two in Toronto that I know about, so three at 209 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 3: home and so far. That's where the super Bowl was, 210 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 3: Like Taylor Swift, I think it's only the person that 211 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: did three days. 212 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: As so far. 213 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 2: Wow. Wow. 214 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I really think all that situation with Drake sent 215 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 3: them to another stratusphere. Obviously he was selling out before that, 216 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: but it really I don't think anybody could deny that 217 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 3: he wasn't going to Anybody could say he wasn't going 218 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 3: to do well after everything phenomenal Kendrick, after that phenomenal 219 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: year he had like away. 220 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: He wasn't doing that, So you feel like without not 221 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 2: like us, he couldn't do this. 222 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: No, No, I think it would have been it would 223 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 3: have been a little smaller. But I think he was 224 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 3: always selling out, sellout artists though well, because. 225 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: I asked you that, because Dad has been the conversation. 226 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: The numbers are astronomical. 227 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: But when this news broke, the conversation was he needed 228 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 2: Drake to do this. And people always throw that out 229 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: there about Kendrick and the conversation right now. But in 230 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, the Big Steppers Tour became the highest 231 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: grossing raptor of all time. It was eclipsed the following 232 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: year by Drake. It's all a blurred tour, but it 233 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: did happen first. So I think that I don't know 234 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 2: why it is with Kendrick and him. I don't know. 235 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: Maybe you a little closer to the source. People like that, 236 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: like Kendrick like this all just happened overnight for. 237 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: Him because people it's two things. 238 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: The first thing is people are super fans of Drake, 239 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 3: like Drake raised them. So it's like it's like telling 240 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: them that Santa Claus ain't real. 241 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: You can't tell me that you know. 242 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 3: What I'm saying, Like it's certain shit that you can't 243 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 3: say about certain people, for instance, even when even when 244 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 3: certain people are probably flawed just like everybody else, Like 245 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like we have moguls that 246 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: are probably no longer heralded as what as what they 247 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: once were because you're around to find out that they're 248 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 3: just a human being like everybody else, you know what 249 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: I'm saying. 250 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: And so, my, that's the first thing. 251 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: The second thing is he's always been discounted the whole 252 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 3: the whole time. But he's been discounted for lack of 253 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 3: a better way, just saying, oh, he's not a star 254 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: just because he doesn't indulge in the fruits of being 255 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: a star. Right, So, and I said this before on 256 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 3: the air, but I think like he has the same 257 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: problem that like Yo kich has, you know on the 258 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets, Like he just win a championship and don't 259 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: even give a fuck. 260 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: He don't care, He just don't. 261 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 3: So you have somebody who's completely indulgent in being a superstar, 262 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: and you have somebody who don't even give a fuck about. 263 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: Being a superstar. Do you do you think Drake being 264 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: a Superstar Drake. 265 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 3: Drake cares about startlem is that a bad thing? Though 266 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 3: I don't would say it's a bad thing. Nothing is 267 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 3: bad and it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's how 268 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: you go about it. 269 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you don't respect the way d goes about it. 270 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 3: Why, It just depends on it depends on what facet like. 271 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 3: For instance, the way that the way that he uses 272 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 3: culture to manipulate I don't. 273 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: I don't. I disagree with that because the AI stuff 274 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: with like snooping. 275 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 3: It wouldn't even be the AI stuff I'm talking about. 276 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 3: For instance, when you like, I'm not saying that there 277 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: aren't rough areas where He's from, but where where I'm from, 278 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 3: where God is from, you can't we call it false flagging. 279 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 3: You can't false flag. Like I don't never claim to 280 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 3: be a gamer. I'm not a gamer, but I'm considered 281 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 3: a non affiliate. So if I get on here and 282 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 3: start cousin and blood and stuff, I would get quote 283 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: unquote g checked when I get back home. But what 284 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 3: happens is when you don't get checked, you go without 285 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: checks and balance. Then you arrive at a place where 286 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 3: now you're the dictator of those checks and balances and 287 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: I E. 288 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: Kanye West, you know what I'm saying. 289 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 3: So now it's like you're allowed to just be whoever 290 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: you want to be without any without any repercussions. And 291 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 3: I think that's kind of like what's going on. 292 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 2: Well, recently, Young Thugs sat down with GQ magazine and 293 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 2: they asked him about the whole Kendrick Lamar Drake thing. 294 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 2: He's like, I don't know where this came from because 295 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm a Drake fan, Like, I don't understand 296 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: why Kendrick Lamar brought me into it. Yeah, I mean, 297 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: I get what you're saying as far as culture, but 298 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: like when you got people like Young Thugs saying like, yeah, nah, 299 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: but I don't subscribe to that, doesn't that that doesn't 300 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: help what you're saying, because no. 301 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 3: But everybody has their own experience. Just like some people 302 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: would say, you know, they're probably individual. There might be 303 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 3: individuals that say Weinstein was a good man. You know 304 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I'm saying, Epstein got you. You know 305 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I think Kendrick's point was that he 306 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: was keeping these people around him for credibility exactly. 307 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 2: But I'm saying if Kendrick's point is you keeping all 308 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 2: these people around you for credibility and to be able 309 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: to like, you know what I mean, falsely throw this flag. 310 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 2: But the people who are around you are like, I mean, 311 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: but that's my booy, that's my homie. It doesn't there's 312 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 2: no like, there's no checking, there's no big homies that 313 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 2: are like, no, this is not okay. Correct, Like if 314 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: young Thug I said, I'm a Drake Finn, but like 315 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 2: I get with Kendrick is saying, because like, nah, this 316 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 2: is our shit, that would have been different. 317 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: He wouldn't say that because that's his homie though. But 318 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 3: also see that's what I'm saying, Like, where we're at 319 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: in the culture is the two things are conflated. You 320 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: have street, you have we called glasses called street. 321 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: Urban culture, and you have rap. 322 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 3: Those two separate things that get conflated because hip hop 323 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: is looked at as this one umbrella. So where we're from, 324 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if you've done something. For instance, you 325 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: could take Lil Wayne. For instance, Little Wayne is from 326 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 3: New Orleans, Louisiana, right, but he's also quote unquote from 327 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 3: the mob Mob Poude. That's in quote unquote Encompton. Right, 328 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 3: so if one of my o G hommies, I ain't 329 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 3: gonna say no names one of the hommies. And he's 330 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: like a reptable from that section, and he says, this 331 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 3: is my little homie Wayne. He from the section. That's 332 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 3: law meaning there's no questioning. You don't get to you don't. 333 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 3: That's just what it is. It's my homie from and 334 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 3: now he from the section. 335 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: You get what I'm saying. So I'm not saying that 336 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: that's what. 337 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: Thug is doing, but it's just different things that are 338 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 3: not the same thing. 339 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: One to one in hip hop. 340 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: Got you well, I mean, it's coming on a year 341 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: this week that everything happened. I remember I was in 342 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: y'all remember where y'all were were not like us draw 343 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: It's crazy, but for real, I was in a party 344 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: for Single Day Mayo. It was Single Day Mayo, right. 345 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: I was in party. I was drunk, I remember, and 346 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: then somebody came to me. I was in Delaware and 347 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: it was like Kendrid finally dropped because he was waiting 348 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: on it. Yeah, and then they played then like us. 349 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 4: I felt like Kendrick was trying to say, like when 350 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 4: he did the party the party died. 351 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: Watch the party die. 352 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 4: Watch the party die. It was like his music did 353 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 4: that without saying it right. It was like, I'm gonna 354 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 4: show y'all how to party differently. I'm gonna show you 355 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 4: how to embrace who you are as a black person. 356 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 4: I feel like Drake's music, while it's good and it's 357 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 4: fancy and you can dance to. 358 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: It, I do feel like he he like he didn't. 359 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: He didn't grow. 360 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 4: Up the way that we or it doesn't feel like 361 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 4: he grew up the way that we did. But he 362 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 4: knew how to speak to it. And because he knew 363 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 4: how to speak to it, then he can make music 364 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 4: around it. 365 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: And you get what I'm saying. 366 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: How y'all feel about? When Kendrick brought out play with Cardi, 367 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 2: people were upset about it. They said that like he 368 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: was basically exploiting artists for like the same thing that 369 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: he accuses Drake of doing. How ya feel about that? 370 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 3: It's a bunch of people who aren't part of the 371 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 3: music game, commenting on the music game. Like he was 372 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 3: in Atlanta, he brought out Playboy Cardi, who's from Atlanta, 373 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: and they have three songs. DoD gave him three features 374 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 3: on the album. Yeah, and they performed one of the 375 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: biggest records right now. So I don't understand people are 376 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 3: just silly. 377 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 2: So do y'all feel like people are ever going to 378 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 2: get to a point where like this because you're not 379 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: like people beef and then we just like on the 380 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: won't even really talk about it. We're talking about this 381 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: as if like like I mean, it is history, but 382 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, like we just remembered where 383 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: we were when songs dropped. You think that that feeling 384 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: will last like generational or like eventually, like. 385 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: Yo, what feeling of this specific? 386 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: Like, yo, you remember where you were when not like 387 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 2: a dropped when the beef started. 388 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 3: I think it was definitely a moment in time hip 389 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 3: hop especially I definitely always. 390 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: Remember numbers why super Bowl? 391 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 4: But then the only comparison that I can have that 392 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 4: I remember and I was young was jay Z and 393 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 4: Nas and I felt like that for a long time, 394 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 4: and they became friends on top of that, like damn Drake, 395 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 4: and then after they became friends, look how long it 396 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: took for people to actually like, all right, like okay, 397 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 4: they're friends, Like. 398 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: It's not a game. 399 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 2: I don't think Drake and Kendrick ever becoming friends. 400 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: And I think in the moment of that is. 401 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: That I mean, am I crazy for I don't see 402 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: your happiness? Yeah, I don't see that happening. 403 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: Weren't before. 404 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 3: But also you got to understand, like he one person 405 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 3: crossed the line before the other person. So I think 406 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 3: that's the nuance. It gets lost in translation. It's just 407 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: like you know, it's like if he said it in 408 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: the record. But when you get offer, when you offer 409 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: somebody a friend, that's amongst the homies, like if we homies, 410 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 3: I'll offer you a friendly fade. 411 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: That's like that. Again. That's where I. 412 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 3: Think the disconnected is happening in these conversations street urban culture, 413 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 3: rap music and rap music. He can't say that about 414 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 3: you street urban culture. There is no rules rap world. 415 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 3: Is you cross the line street urban culture. I gave 416 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 3: you a line, you crossed it. Now it's now, it 417 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 3: doesn't matter now no lines exist. That's the difference. 418 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's what happened. 419 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: So it was a specific line cross that's your a 420 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 3: fan to I mean, I think he said, we ain't 421 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 3: got to keep we ain't gotta make it personal. I 422 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: think Drake made it personal first and then after that 423 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 3: all see the thing is once. 424 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: Where where where I'm where we're from? 425 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 3: If I give you a line and I say, hey, bro, 426 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: let's let's have a fight because we just having a disagreement, right, 427 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 3: and you tell me where I'm from, you tell me 428 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 3: all right, look that we could fight.

I don't know if people 492 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 2: knew how to title you because the information was coming 493 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 2: from you a lot. Sometimes. 494 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: Well, I know that that person claims to be the best, 495 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,239 Speaker 3: the number one journalists in the game, and I just 496 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 3: have I have too much respect for I think journalism 497 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 3: is a craft, just like being a doctor or a lawyer. Yeah, 498 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 3: and so I respect journalists too much to just pop 499 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 3: out of me like I'm a journalist. 500 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think that academics is a journalist at all. 501 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: I think the machine. 502 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: Get a drunk rent, that is fine. 503 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 2: I think whatever, the machine of what he's built, I say, 504 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: I always I respect the machine of what he's built, 505 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 2: But he is not a journalist. I think we as 506 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 2: journalists we vet things a lot differently, we have conversations 507 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: a lot differently. I'm not mad at what he's doing, 508 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 2: but I think that there does always need to be 509 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: a defining point of anybody who does something at a 510 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 2: he's a professional. But like it's different. 511 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 3: Like I know you on the radio and you come 512 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 3: from a background of journalism, which you know, there's two 513 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 3: things that exist within the confines of broadcasts and door journalism, 514 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 3: whether it's print or any kind of signal, right, and 515 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: the two things are one is journalistic kenteckrity and the 516 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 3: second one thing is something called libel. 517 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: Go look up Libel, kids. 518 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 3: And so I think, what, because you don't learn these 519 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 3: things when you just turn on your stream or whatever. 520 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 3: You just you could say whatever you want to say, 521 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 3: and then you end up like Tasha k And so 522 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 3: I think, like, oh. 523 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 2: The menopause, Mattie, she talks about us too. 524 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 3: And so I think, and so I think what happens 525 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: is people just start podcasts, get cameras, get mics, and 526 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 3: start saying what they think and then be like, oh, 527 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 3: DJ heads, he's being cryptic, He's not being real.
