Chapter 2: What are the implications of A$AP Rocky's plea deal decision?
Can you imagine? Is this a serious conversation or a serious topic? Serious topic. And a serious conversation. Can I find humor in it, though? I don't think so. Okay, all right. Fuck it. Come on.
Can you imagine sacrificing yourself by running into a burning building or house, lack of resources, underpaid, watching people lose all of their possessions, photos of their family, and then the reward that you are given is John Legend singing to you?
Chapter 3: What are the details of the Mississippi legislation discussed?
Why are you doing this? See, because I know why you're doing this. Not bonus time. Not extra money.
Chapter 4: How does the podcast address Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show announcement?
I know why you're doing this. Not more water. Yeah. Instead of going to see your families, you've been fighting fires for days on end. Yeah. No water for yourself. No food. You are going to sit at a picnic table in a parking lot. And John Legend is going to come sing... all of you and all of me to 60 grown men with ash on their faces. But see.
Take it slow.
I just went into a burning house. You know, I'm going to tell you what's funny about this. The only the only person rocking their head is the black guy on the far left. Like he's the only one who's really like this is John Legend. Like where's Rick Ross at? That clap. Don't clap. See, we got to get away from that. We don't have to clap. We don't have to clap.
I came on here about three months ago, Peach, and I fucking had something to say about John Legend. The internet killed me. Oh, John, you know, he's cool. People laugh, man. Yeah, but it's like, this is the shit I was talking about. This cruise ship karaoke shit. Why would you have John Legend singing for firefighters at picnic tables?
How would you maybe to be more sensitive to our heroes in Los Angeles, everywhere in California, firefighters that drove hours on end outside of California. To help, yes. Those heroes you have to be sensitive to. How would you remix all of me in your voice, your John Legend voice? I don't want to do this. I don't want to, but why not? Why not do something like...
whatever happened to giving like whatever happened to giving like firemen something that they could appreciate why not bring like ruby rose bring like ruby rose or india love out there and have them like you know it was a porn star or only fans girl i forgot because i tried not to retain that information for my own sanity but one of them i thought was doing her patriotic duty she was saying she was gonna go around fucking the firefighters
Yeah, where's that lady at? She was going to go from firehouse to firehouse. Where's she at? To me, yeah, as an American, you have to go with your skill set. That's how we all become one and push this country forward. Her skill set is her vagina. Right. So she went and used what she was going to do.
I can't really offer much to the firefighters except for donations and good words and appreciation and prayers and everything like that. We appreciate all the firefighters. She has something that's better than all of that. Yeah. A vagina. Give the firefighters something that they can, some tangible, something tangible. Don't give me John Legend at a picnic table.
See, because I'm too, I would have been out there, I would have got up and walked away. I'm not sitting here for this shit. I don't want to hear John Legend. My wife and kids don't even know if I'm alive yet. Yeah, like I got ash in my lungs and John Legend is singing and I got a turkey sandwich on the table. How out of touch are celebrities at this point? This is like the ego is getting insane.

Chapter 5: What is the Mississippi legislation about semen retention?
Like if you're not trying to get a woman pregnant. In the South, that's not crazy for politicians because a lot of them are super religious. That's some church shit. You should only be fucking after you're married or with the intent for it. I can't wait to get that line. Genetic material? Oh, man. I can't wait to tell a young harlot to make my genetic material disappear. Take my genetic material.
Discard of my genetic material, will you? Also, it would be funny like cleaning up your nut like it was a crime scene. Like, babe, get the bleach. Get the bleach, limes, all of that. Yeah. Wash the sheets. Immediately, we got to wash the sheets. Like legitimately burying a comforter like six feet under. Like they'll never find it. I'm a two-strike offender. I can't go back. Genetic material.
That is the first time I've ever read that. You cannot discharge your genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo. I think it makes sense. This is just birth control. No, I get it. Semen retention. We should all practice. It's just like birth control. No, it's not.
Chapter 6: What breaking news about Kendrick Lamar is shared?
Yeah, it is. Maul, I have to interrupt this important podcast with breaking, breaking, breaking news. And it might break you too, Maul. While we're recording, I just looked on Twitter. It might break me as hilarious. Why is this news going to break me? Let's hear it. All the listeners, I promise we are not going to get in some rabbit hole. This is all for fun.
Everyone relax going into this topic. While we were recording, Kendrick dropped a trailer, his second trailer for his Super Bowl performance. Well, he was talking to SZA and then she gets right behind him with the Gatorade cooler and throws it over like they just won the Super Bowl. She will be performing with him at halftime, which us and the rest of the world predicted would probably happen.
What? Nothing at all. This is great. Do we get a full scissor set? We better. We better get a full scissor set. You better let Scissor get a full set at the halftime show. Why not? Scissor.
Chapter 7: What are the implications of Kendrick and SZA performing at the Super Bowl?
Sounds great. Great songs. Looks great. Yeah. We just spoke about John Legend in the five. Yes. You think the football players want to see Kendrick or Scissor? I think the football players will be focused on their halftime adjustments during that moment and focused on the biggest game of their lives. It's another day. It's another game. We already know our game plan. We know what we're running.
Halftime adjustments mean nothing in the Super Bowl. Nah, man. We don't adjust. You can't change a player's game in a knife inning. You know that. Yeah. This is who we are. This is who we do. You was who you was when you got here. Yeah, this is who we are. This is how we got here. Any coach that would allow their team to go to the TV to watch the halftime performance. Yeah, man.
Gotta keep the team loose, man. How did you even get to the Super Bowl?
Chapter 8: How does the discussion of clout chasing relate to artists?
Keep the team loose, man. Everybody be loose in the locker room. Just another day at the park, man. That's all that is. We had predicted that he was going to bring out SZA as a guest to perform All the Stars, because that was a hit. Now that between when we said that and today, Kendrick and SZA have damn near given us an EP of features together. Do we think any of those make it?
And I like those songs a lot. Are they Super Bowl worthy yet? Or does they do All the Stars and then we get a SZA hit record set and then back to Kendrick and his hits? I could see maybe they do 30 for 30. I think that makes sense at the Super Bowl. Just like a quick little 15 seconds? 30 for 30 is a documentary. It's usually a sports documentary type of thing. So at the Super Bowl, I get it.
Because Luther and Gloria are great. I do like those records a lot on GNX. Just out of Kendrick's and SZA's entire catalog, where do you sneak those in at a Super Bowl? I mean, Rihanna- They're just great new records. Rihanna did some records that I don't think we thought she would have done. It happens. I think sometimes you just do the records that people love.
It doesn't matter that you're at the Super Bowl. You do the records that you know people like. I don't know about all that. What record from Rihanna? Let me pull this up. Apple Music that's still paying us more money than Spotify, even though they keep raising Spotify's, right?
Rihanna started with Bitch Better Have My Money, Where Have You Been, Only Girl, We Found Love, Rude Boy, Work, Wild Thoughts, Pour It Up, All of the Lights, Run This Town, Umbrella, Diamonds. It's kind of a seal-tight set list right there of hit fucking records. No, it hit records, but... Nothing shocked me in that set list. Like, damn, she's giving us James joint.
I would have never guessed... Get Over It was played. I would have never guessed that she was going to perform Rude Boy. Really? Yeah. At the Super Bowl? No. One of her biggest records. So, like I said, with SZA... And Kendrick, they're going to perform their biggest records. It doesn't matter if the song fits the Super Bowl or not.
I don't think you go into it with, is this a Super Bowl performance record? I just think you go with your biggest jokers. I think the opposite. I think this is an amazing promo for their tour that's coming up. But I think they go Kendrick hits, all stars, all the stars. Sorry if I'm getting that wrong. SZA does like two or three, four of her hits.
And then we get Kendrick right back to end the show. I don't know if they're going to sit there and do Luther. I just don't see it. Can we have a real conversation now that you got all that out? I'm scared to, but sure. What are you scared of? I'm your man. I'm scared all the time. I just wouldn't know. I was born scared. All right, so is this not a cheat code, though?
Can we just be, like, because y'all going to paint me as this hater and all of that. I'm just saying. Okay, is it a cheat code? Maybe, but is it also a very smart move? Do I think Kendrick Lamar could have done the Super Bowl halftime by himself? Absolutely. Him doing this tour with SZA, I think it was a good move. Why? They're doing stadiums. I need all the promo I can get. Any artist would.
