Them calling you Ricky Romance in prison is like, wait, what? You know what's nuts? Since we're talking about nuts. Pause. We rolling? We had a... That's a roll. We had a little shindig at your house, a little Super Bowl get-together. Yeah. Very calm. Yesterday was a really, really cool day. Really nice day. You know, got to see y'all on an off day.

Chapter 2: How did Kanye West's actions influence the Super Bowl conversation?
I don't validate who I am as a person by what my ex may date after me. No, but it has to make you feel some type of way. If you lose your girl to somebody that you know isn't on your level or you think that isn't on your level. I'd feel weirder if I was like, oh, he's super ill. No, but you just know. You know when the guy's like, okay. I'd feel much weirder being like, oh, she got a catch.
Yeah.
He's a stud. I can't compete. I just, I understand it. Like, I understand. And we talk about Kanye, so we talk about ego. Great compete people. Oh, yeah. Kanye, I got you. You got him? I got him. Yeah, so I get it. I understand. You know, we talk about Kanye, one of the, you know, ego out of this world. And we all have an ego, but Kanye's ego is a different ego.
Yeah, but I read every single caption in Omar Little's voice. Those were some of the funniest fucking captions. Starting a caption out with, look at this dickhead. Yeah. But you feel him, though. Because we've all said that. 100%. We've all said that to a picture. And I show you the phone like, yo, look at this dickhead. Because that's how I read it.
Kanye saw it and was like, yo, look at this dickhead. Just fighting for your family when you're with your family is funny to me. Saying like, I just want to see my kids. Yo, me and North on the way. Just look to your left. She's right here. But yeah, I just... It was entertaining. I love the fact that Kanye posted my account isn't hacked and he took what seemed to be a hostage picture.
Definitely a hostage photo. And that's... The account could be hacked that way too. Yeah, it could be hacked that way. And I just... It's like... Kanye, you could have just recorded a video saying your account is in that. You didn't have to stand there holding that. That was Lorne Michaels holding a gun behind that shit. He said, we're going to get Skeet some fame.
I was like, yo, why is Kanye posting this? But again, Kanye, he knows that the eye is on him right now. He knows he's the most talked about, probably the most famous person on the internet right now. I could see that, yeah. Right? So he's... I think that he's aware. He's very aware. People saying, oh, he's going crazy. He's losing his mind. I don't think that at all. I think Kanye is very aware.
He knows what he's doing. He has an album coming. He has a documentary coming. I'm pretty sure he has another Yeezy Gap release coming. For sure. So he just, this is marketing he doesn't have to pay for. He's going to host SNL. Yeah, for sure. For sure, that's happening. Without question. That's happening. I loved how Michael Che responded to Kanye's offer. What did he say? He wrote,
he wrote some some uh some things down on on paper saying yeah kanye i will gladly leave this job If you give me these things. And he wrote his demands down. Classic Michael Che. But it wasn't. It's the way he wrote it. Like when he was trying to think of more stuff, he was like, he wrote. What else? What else? It's that type of shit.

Chapter 3: What were the highlights of the Super Bowl halftime show?
She would make sense in that world as far as what R&B act would go there. But it felt like a whole Aftermath reunion plus Mary. When we first heard that Mary was doing it, I kind of was like, yo, I don't understand why they would have Mary with that lineup.
yeah it's not like she had um because she only did one song right no she did uh she did too but you know white people love the dancery she did dancery what was the other one uh no more drama oh yeah see no more drama at the superbowl i thought that was ill i didn't i didn't expect her to do that record and it actually didn't mary got a bunch of other records that she could have done at the superbowl it shocked me but i wasn't mad at it but i mean of course she was gonna get crazy fine fine fine fine i'm just glad that didn't happen what was the song she sang in the burger king commercial
I don't know. I don't walk around with this information just in my head to answer these questions. I don't know. What was the chicken song she sang in the Burger King commercial? See, now that's racist. I know.
Chapter 4: How did Mary J. Blige's performance surprise the audience?
I don't know why they did that commercial. It was fucking terrible. Mary singing about chicken? That's racist as fuck. The Super Bowl was good, though, man. I ain't gonna lie. This one, they got it right. Now, who's next? Yeah, with the pattern of this, now does Hov have to give the whites one? Are we going to have to get Bruce Springsteen next year? Like, is that going to have to happen?
Lil Bon Jovi? Bon Jovi, I could see. I could see Bruce. If an American tragedy happens, we're definitely going to get born in the USA. Oh, you know, they can't wait. They can't wait for another terrorist act to happen on American soil so they can give us Bruce. What is it with Bruce Springsteen and patriotism? People from New Jersey are pieces of shit. They're like the worst Americans ever.
Chapter 5: What are the key takeaways from the Tinder Swindler discussion?
Why? The whole Jersey? Damn. The armpit of America. Well, I'm not technically a resident. The armpit of America. I live in New Jersey. I'm not technically a resident. I still consider myself a New Jerseyan, though. Mm-hmm. So I'm allowed to say these things. Yeah. Fathers from Jersey. Mm-hmm. They're pieces of shit. Probably the worst group of people in America.
Oh, no, I can name a few other groups of people that are worse than people from New Jersey. No, at least people in the South are openly racist. They'll tell you they're racist. Yeah, they hang a flag right outside their house. Jersey is like a quiet Alabama. Yo, what is... You live in Jersey. Why y'all got so many diners in Jersey? Because diners are great. That's where all of my bosses meet.
It's a racist ass diner with a hostess named Patty at every fucking corner of New Jersey. I mean, but here's the thing. Patty been making coffee for 35 years. Greeks are like kind of racist. They don't really have a dog in the fight. I think Greeks just hate everybody. If you don't feel hated at the diner, I'm sure the food sucks. It needs to feel like an inconvenience.
She got to have an attitude. You need to feel like they spit in it in the back. But I feel the same way. If I walk into any Jamaican spot, if I'm not treated like pure shit, I know the food is bad. Yeah, they definitely treat you like a cop. You got to suck your teeth when I ask for any order. Are the oxtails ready?
Chapter 6: How does the podcast wrap up with thoughts on current music releases?
No, it's 5.30. We ran out of oxtails at noon, sir. The fact that you know this type of shit is just hilarious to me. Yeah, but I was kind of not feeling the whole no more drama record. But Mary looked great. The joint that she did, the dancery, it didn't sound as bad as I thought it would. Yeah. I wasn't mad at that. That was for the whites. Yeah, I wasn't mad at that.
But overall, everybody did a good job. Everybody looked great. you know Dr. Dre and Snoop Dr. Dre is definitely over 50 years old right yeah Snoop I don't know if he's 50 he's 50 so these are like you know Eminem is he 50 yet probably
mary's she's 50 uh she's a woman she don't know her age do we want to say that snoop dogg is the most famous rapper he is yeah that would yeah that would never i don't think that's somebody tried to fight me and say 50 and i was like no no snoop dogg is the most famous rapper ever more famous than jay-z he's more famous he's the most his face his image he's definitely the most famous rapper ever by far was there any any records that we would have wanted to hear
Mary's 51. She looks amazing for 51. That's what I'm saying. All of these, it's 50, it's 50, it's 50, 50 yet? Nah, he's in his 40s. Nah. You sure? 50, yeah, he's 40, I don't know, I would say five. I think 50 might be 50. He's 46. Really? Yeah, 50, I mean, granted. 50 ain't as old as them, no. Oh, shit. But 50 did come out when he was like 27, 28 years old. That's what I'm saying.
He wasn't young when In The Club came out, as far as rapper standards go. Okay. Well, you know, they look great, though. That's what money do, man. Money keep money... It gives you some longevity as far as the looks. But you got to look, Snoop was 19, 18 when he came out? Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. To really think. That's why that moment was so special, man.
And for it to be in LA and them to, you know, for Jay and everybody that's in charge of the whole entertainment department with the NFL, for them just to recognize that and like, nah, we need Dre, we need Snoop. And then let them kind of like curate the whole halftime show. That was dope. What did you want to see that wasn't played? In a realistic way. Type of way. In a realistic way.
I was about to say in my ignorant way. Well, no, give me some ignorant ones then. Fuck the police. Of course. I definitely wanted to hear Dre get that off. I want to yell at Enron. Yeah. Right on that stage. Murder was the case. I wanted to hear Snoop get into that. At least he did crip walk the majority of the time. He threw up the big C. From the moment the camera panned to him.
He threw the hard C up. The big C. Big crip. Hov definitely watched the rehearsals because Hov had on a blue rag around his neck. I was like, wait, hold on. I know everyone moves to LA and then they become affiliated when it's like, wait, hold on. I can't. How you in your big age and now you in a gang. How ho just joined the 60s? No, I think that was, you know, just letting Snoop know I'm here.
I'm in the building. I'm saluting you. I represent you today. But I did like the fact that Snoop and Dre, you know, they did what they were supposed to do, man. They didn't slip. They didn't fuck with it. They didn't play around. They went out there and kicked ass and did what they were supposed to do with that half-time show.
