We haven't seen each other since Monday. This is rare. Since game three? Yeah. Game three was scary. That was scary. Terrifying. That was scary because that felt like, oh, shit. Here we go.
Felt like the energy was shifting. Oh, and it finally gave me something to not be a whole venger about. I'm not a stan anymore. I don't want to see Jay-Z courtside in the next game. Why? He's always been courtside. I remember when you tried to make the Nets a thing. I remember when you tweeted cities under new management.

Chapter 2: How do the Knicks fans feel about Wemby?
It feels like it. A little bit, right? Okay, when KD went to the Nets, I was... Yes. I was hating. Because I wanted him with the Nets. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it's cool. Like, the Barclays Center is cool. Don't get me wrong. It's like a club with the lights on. Yeah. You didn't say that. It's like a mix. It's like a networking event. It's not a basketball game. It's networking. So it's a mixer?
Yeah, with the lights on. He was bragging about doing Ducey Palooza there. Remember that? Incredible. I've been to a bunch of great concerts at the Barclays. It's cool. That should just be like an event space. Like the Prudential. Not a basketball court, yeah. Like the Prudential. Exactly. Okay, gotcha. And Hove could sit courtside at the Doja Cat concert or something.
So you mad that Hove was at a Knicks finals game? No, I just- First one in 27 years. What are they saying the show you like? The North remembers. Yeah. Like, I remember the first Nets-Knicks game when the Nets won, and Hove, who had only tweeted once in his entire life, said, City under new management. Mm-hmm. Now you want to come back over here. Yeah. It's crazy.
Now you want to come back to the garden. Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah. You didn't plant these seeds. Mm, in the garden. Mm. Mm. You niggas see? See? Mm. We are back. Sponsored by Boost Mobile Unlimited. Talk, text, earn data. Oh, I thought you were going to take us somewhere from there. No, no, no, no. How y'all feeling, man? I feel great. I'm stressed out. The city's on fire.
I ain't going to lie. Hold up, though. Game three, when the president was here. Mm-hmm. I got caught up in a little bit of that, like trying to get out of the city. Yeah. Yeah, that was crazy. You drove that day, which I thought was brave. Yeah, it was crazy. But because of where we at, I could just get right on the highway and go home. But I had to go to Midtown and then come back to the office.
I hate that for you. So I thought I would have been back here before you started to feel any of that. Mm-hmm. No, the city was absolutely fucking gridlocked. Yeah. I mean, as much as the president did put all those fences up and shit. And I tried to tell you all that Dolan wanted to keep him up. President left the city and they stayed up. They're probably still up right now. Yeah. Yeah. Right.
And again, it's called San Antonio. I'm sure those fences are still there. Dolan is going to keep those up year round. Did you see Dolan's face last night game four? Yeah. when the Knicks was going on that run, nobody hates the Knicks more than Dolan. I have a theory. I have a theory that nobody hates the New York Knicks more than Dolan does. And he owns the team. Like he didn't show no emotion.
How could you not be showing any emotion when your team is coming back from a 29 point hole? Cause he probably bet against them. I know we laughing, but it is maybe more profitable for Dolan when the Knicks are bad. It doesn't matter. Because he doesn't have to pay out.
After this contract, he's going to have to pay out some max deals like this team deserved the money that they're about to receive. No, when you win the finals, you get money. Your team, your franchise gets a shitload of money. No, and I even understand with TV rights and merchandise, all that.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Dolan's ownership on the Knicks?
Hey, man, you can, but it's a risk. It's a risk. It's not right. It is a risk. It's not right. I'm not saying it's right. Because if I'm from Texas, I grew up knowing how to shoot. So now one of you, you trying to go viral in Manhattan, I got a license to carry. I got my shit on me. Y'all can come and try to get a stunt if y'all want to go viral. We can really go viral. I can promise you.
I don't care what license you have to carry. You're not getting a gun into Madison Square Garden. No, no, not in Madison. No, no, no. Not in the garden. I'm talking about outside the garden walking to my car. Maybe in your car. Possibly. No, you guys have a license to carry in New York. Even from Times Square down is a no gun zone. Even if you can legally carry a gun, they have signs.
If you legally can carry a gun, you cannot have it in that area of the city. What? I never knew that. I live in Hell's Kitchen. There's signs. The moment you start walking a little bit more east, yeah, this is a gun-free zone even if you have a license. Only the cops can carry guns in the midtown. I never knew that. It's been that way for a while. So, yeah. See, they need to change that.
I feel like if everybody had a- It's too many people to have a gun. I feel like, but yeah, but it's just a lot of major cities where you can carry. Which is fine. I feel like the only reason- I'm pro Second Amendment. Yeah. Only reason why shit like that happens to people is because people are probably like, he probably doesn't have anything on him. So, let's beat him up.
But if you in a city where you're like, yo, we all strapped, you're not going to just try people like that. Yeah. It's not going to happen like that. But- with chaos and in a dense place like Times Square, which is probably one of the most dense places in the world. I don't care if you're a sharpshooter, some shit popping off, some bunch of crazy people.
Somebody is going to get hit that does not need to get hit. I didn't need to get hit. I just got a Duncan jersey on. I didn't need to get hit. I did not. I was walking to my car. Well, do you remember in 1999? I was just walking to my car. I did not need to get hit. But since y'all want to catch a stunt, we all get hit. That's fine.
But when you take your ass to California, you know certain neighborhoods, you don't wear certain hats and you don't wear certain colors. It is what it is. That's different. We talking about gang banging. That's different. The Knicks fans ain't a gang. I don't know if you've seen the videos the past two days. It looks a little gang gang out there. That shit gang gang is fun.
That's these new little young dummies trying to just go viral and catch a stunt, man. That's not real New York. Real Knicks fans, like Rory said, that's not real Knicks fans. Real Knicks fans are not outside looking for people to punch in the face because the Knicks won.
Well, no, they're not looking for people to punch in the face, but when your team is getting fucking slaughtered and you got somebody laughing in your face with a Spurs jersey on, ah! Yeah, that's part of sports. Yeah, exactly. I've been to Giants games. Don't touch my body, though. Don't touch me. You see. Y'all can curse me out. You can't touch me, though. Don't touch me. You can.

Chapter 4: What does the future hold for the Knicks and their fans?
He's right there. Like, last night, coming back on the 36 points, yeah, he right there, man. He's right there on my list. Well, yeah. The city, we got World Cup. We have game five and we have the Puerto Rican Day Parade. If we close out on Saturday and the Puerto Rican Day Parade is on Sunday. Yeah, it's lit. It's lit. It's going to be Coquito everywhere. The city might sink. Yeah.
I don't know if they can handle all that weight. Yeah, it's lit. It's lit. All five boroughs are going to be on one place. This has the chance to be the greatest summer in New York City history. This could be the greatest summer in New York City history. No bullshit. And don't let fad drop a soul tape. Oh, my God. Yeah, yo, Fab, where the fuck you at, dog? I'm podcasting and shit.
You know how many brunching bars I got? How many OG bars you think Fab could come up with? Oh my God. He could flip OG. He could flip OG at least 37 times. Like, yo, Fab, what you doing, bro? What you doing, man? We need a soul tape. We need a summertime shootout. I don't even need a soul tape. Give us a summertime shootout this year. Give us a summertime shootout. Yeah.
Because there's going to be shootouts anyway. I don't think y'all prepared for that part of it. Once the Knicks win this thing, like somebody's going to die. It's crazy. Like we know that. Speaking of existence, I'm from New York. I know what happens when they lose. When they win? Shit. It's going to be bodies dropping. Believe that. Did you watch the Wu-Tang performance? I did.
I mean, I understand it's still the finals basketball. They have to have the commentary at halftime. But I was happy they put it on the internet, at least, so I could watch it. Yeah. It was good to see Wu-Tang together, man. Hell yeah. That's New York shit. And they was right behind the hoop, too. Yeah. I saw Jalen Brunson take a full dive into RZA. And then RZA apologized. Yeah.
I said, RZA, you was sitting there. Yeah, nah. My bad. I'm in your way. Yeah, I'm in your way, bro. You doing your thing. Like... I'm in your way. He was in his assigned seat. Yeah, I'm in your way. My bad. My bad. I'm in your way. No, he really slews it. Yo, I'm sorry. Yeah. Nas had on Tim's. It was 84 degrees yesterday. Tim's.
With Celebro, like, at the Knicks games, who's your favorite, like, celebrity Knick fan? This season and all time. I mean, of all time, it's Spike. Like, it doesn't even... Yeah. It doesn't even compare. But... I do fuck with Ben Stiller just because I've watched the Knicks my entire life and we've sucked my entire life. And I've never seen Ben Stiller really miss that many games.
Like, he deserves this. Timothy deserves this, even though he's younger. Yeah, Timothy don't know. He don't know the struggle. Nah, he does. How? He's 21 years old. Yeah, all 21 years of his life. Nah, he don't know the struggle. How old is Timothy Chalamet? He's 96. He's 30. Same shit. It's not. 21 and 30 is the same. Okay. COVID was how many years ago? So you 52.
But his whole life they've sucked. Yeah, exactly. But he's been a Knick fan his entire life since he was a kid. But he don't know the wars though. Like he don't know. No, it's even where he only knows struggle. No, he doesn't even know what it's like to get to a war. Exactly. So like, you know how hard it is to be a fan of a team and they've sucked your entire life. You never saw the high.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Drake's comments on Khaled?
Which I was confused about because I didn't look at it like it was a diss. I didn't think Drake dissed Khaled. He did. But how is that a diss? How is him saying... The beef was fully live. You went halal and got on your D.
still waiting for a free people still waiting for a free palestine and everything is in black and white and red and green how is that a diss where's the disrespect in that not every diss is disrespect that don't even make sense right there every dish you've ever heard has been disrespectful what every dish this means disrespectful okay sure i'm sure that's where the word stemmed from but you're saying that everything in rap that has been considered a diss has been disrespectful every single thing so send me something else that was a diss but wasn't disrespectful
obviously we're sitting here on a mic. I can't think of it off the top of my head. Right, so back to what I was saying. Khaled, that was not a diss. I don't think Khaled felt like he was dissed. I felt like Khaled was addressed I feel like it was addressed, you know, Drake addressed his stance on Khaled and where he stands with Khaled and his thoughts on Khaled.
But he didn't disrespect Khaled by saying your people are still waiting for a free Palestine. That's not disrespectful. If him and Khaled were in a good place, which they have been for most of their careers, would Drake say this? If they were in a good space? Yeah.
Chapter 6: How does the crew define disrespect in rap?
No. Okay. So that's why to me it's a dis- But no, just because you're not in a good space don't mean you have to have a disrespect towards somebody. Like we just not, you could be in a not in a good space with somebody and just be like, nah, I'm not fucking with him. But you don't, you're not disrespecting him. He was being funny.
You were being funny by mentioning free Palestine because if you just want to tell people. He wasn't being funny at all. If you just wanted to.
tell people where you were when I say being funny it means like you bought that up that had nothing to do with nothing if you just wanted to tell people where you were with Khaled you can just tell people where you were with Khaled you don't have to bring up what Khaled is or is not doing and what he's being critiqued for by the public but the whole point of it was Khaled is self-serving you want to say you got two Drake records but when I was going through what I was going through I thought you was a friend you never hit me to even check on me you never hit me but then you're going to try to announce that you got two Drake records
He has every right to throw that away, for sure. So it's not disrespect. It's... No, you're self-serving. You're selfish. You only care about Khaled. And I'm not jacking that. But that doesn't mean I'm disrespecting you. I'm letting you know, like, yo, fam, when it was lit, when it was on and popping, you was nowhere to be found. Then you pop out with, I got two Drakes.
So you're saying, all right, the truth isn't disrespect, is what you're saying? No. Okay. So then... How you've talked about past disc records, specifically like with Jay. You've said there used to be a time when disses were, it was all truth. Like you had to have a fact in everything that you were saying.
That's what made a diss record was when you were given facts, not all the messy shit that it's become now or who can make up the craziest lie. When it was facts, you were still calling them a diss. Because it is still a diss.

Chapter 7: What advice do listeners seek regarding relationship boundaries?
You're in a back and forth with somebody. And just because you're saying something truthful and add a little tone to it, you're still dissing them. Let me ask you something. Did Hove disrespect Drake in that Roots freestyle? No. No. So what's the difference here? But I didn't, I don't think he dissed him. But people still consider it a diss. That's not a diss.
That's what we got to stop acting like. Just because you're addressing somebody on a record doesn't mean you're disrespecting them. You know words are not always directly to their definition. Things change and evolve with the times of what goes on.
Like when Hove put Prodigy's, when his mother owned or grandmother owned the dance studio on Jamaica Ave and put the pamphlet up there of him dressed like Michael Jackson. Did Prodigy, in fact, dress like Michael Jackson and was in that pamphlet? Yeah. That was looked at as a diss. It's become a thing. I'll put you on the summer jam screen. It became a phrase.
But it was looked at as a diss because at that time, Jay and Prodigy were beefing. And Khaled and Drake are not beefing. Exactly. So that's why it's not disrespect. They're not beefing. It's not that they don't like each other. I'm sure Drake still likes Khaled, but he's just letting them know, I'm not fucking with you right now because you're self-serving.
And when I was going through what I was going through, you didn't check on me. I thought you was a friend.

Chapter 8: How do personal dynamics change when living with a partner?
I thought you was all of these things that we probably talked about over the years. I looked at you as a friend, as a brother. I just think we're petty fucking the whole thing. No, but it's not. People are saying there's disrespect. I don't understand why Kiss even feel like he has to apologize for that. Well, I didn't kiss even saying the clip.
I don't know why I'm apologizing for something that I'm not sorry for. Yeah, because it's like I could like a song and like, OK, you got a bar in there, but it wasn't a disrespectful bar. He was just letting it be known like, yo, Khaled, like. No, I don't think Drake is wrong for what he said. I'm just saying that. I'm not saying Drake is wrong.
I'm just saying that people that think that's thinking that Drake diss Khaled is what I don't understand. It's like just because a rapper says somebody else's name in a song doesn't mean that they're dissing. And says something unfavorable about them saying that. That's not a disrespect, though. That's not, that's what I'm saying. That's not disrespect.
Disrespect is up into the eye of the beholder. Callie could feel disrespected. And if Callie feels disrespected, then it's disrespect. It's not up for us to decide. It's not up for us to decide what is or isn't disrespect. That's not how that works.
If you saying, if you're saying to me, like you, you're self-serving, you're, a lot of people will say you telling me that I'm self-serving and that I'm selfish is disrespect. Because if I don't feel like I'm that way and my family doesn't feel like I'm. That's not disrespectful. If somebody says you're self-serving, that's them disrespecting you. If you feel like you're a giving person.
If you feel like you're not. Even if you feel like you're not, that's not disrespecting you. Okay. Even if you feel like you're not self-serving, that's not somebody disrespecting you. If you value being a giving person as a part of your character and somebody tells you that you're self-serving, you would view it as disrespect.
Somebody coming to me and telling me that I'm a selfish bitch would, I don't even, not even using the word bitch, not even using the word bitch. That's different. Coming to me and saying that I'm a selfish person and I only think of myself knowing that I'm not that type of person, I would feel disrespectful. If somebody in the workplace said, yo, Damaris, you're selfish.
That's them disrespecting you? If I feel like I'm not? Hell no, that's not disrespectful, man. What are we talking about? I would say that is disrespectful. That's not, if one of your coworkers says, Damaris, I'm not, I'm going to be honest with you. I feel like that was selfish of you. That's them disrespecting you? Drake said you went fully live. The beef was fully lit.
You went halal and got on your dean. And your people are still waiting for a free Palestine, but everything is in black and white and red. Where is the disrespect in that? You basically just compete.
