Chapter 1: Do Joe and Ish have a bromance?
Defense. Defense. The biggest thing I took out of that is the million dollars worth of jewelry. What you trying to say, Mike? You're going to break the law.
What you trying to say, Ish? I'm saying my man be walking around with almost a million dollars worth of jewelry on. And if I'm going somewhere with a million dollars worth of jewelry.
Tell everybody they might not know.
Just in case. I got to go. Put up Moissanites, man. Knock it off. I got to go. Those shits is not Moissanites, nigga. Those shits do a trick with the sun, nigga.
The sun hit it. It's gold-plated. That shit hit dead, dude. Your shit gold-plated.
That shit light as hell, man. We all felt it.
Y'all playin' my bitch. Lab, lab shit.
This nigga's stupid. Lab shit.
Y'all playin' my bitch. Not lab. I don't give a fuck what Parkton and Char do, nigga. Get him. What's up? How y'all doing? How y'all feeling, man? Good. Good.

Chapter 2: What is Melyssa Ford's new movie about?
I didn't know that.
Yeah, they got a relationship.
Donald Trump is New York.
True. I'm just saying, what will it look like? if he's pardoned. Because I know that everybody has their moral compass out, but the president of the United States is a wacky, wacky, grab the pussy, fuck bitches, get money. Like, he's on bullshit. So, yeah, some of this is whatever you believe in terms of puff. There's some people on the side of, we don't know if you have him dead direct yet.
Yeah.
He could very well walk out of there and then what?
Yeah. I mean, but that's what the whole justice system is about, is you've been charged with a crime, you have your day in court, the process plays out, and then the jury decides. That's what it's supposed to be about. And before we talk about how the system treats black men, I'm just taking that off the table. I'm just answering Joe's question.
So if Donald Trump comes along and just pardons him, I think that that would be very on brand for Donald Trump to do. And I think that that would be wildly disappointing, especially if the jury does find that the prosecution offered a believable case. And they, you know, they vote to convict. I think that a lot of people will just lose a lot. They've already lost a lot of faith.
In the justice system. In the justice system. But I think that that would allow, that would make people feel like there's just no actual hope. And especially as it relates to his behavior towards women and the accusations that have been made against him in terms of like all the numerous sexual assaults.

Chapter 3: What was Irv Gotti's impact on hip-hop?
I have no idea who Drake Bell is. Nor do I. Let me see. Who's that? Drake Bell. All right, so he got a slap.
I think he had music out because of the whole Josh and Drake.
So you think Khaled might have been teasing him like, yo, I got two Drake features and it been him? He don't look like he's saying that. But maybe that's judgmental. Yo, that's racist. It is, but don't use me. I could be racist against my wife.
Don't use me as the Drake Bell authenticator.
Like, that might not be him. Jared Drake Bell is an American actor and musician.
He was in the Nickelodeon doc. Yeah, he was in the doc. Yes. Which kid was he? The one that was crying, nigga.
Oh, that's Drake Bell.
Oh, got it. Yo, y'all up.
Got it. He didn't do that shit. No, no, I know Drake Bell now. No, he should be able to hit a note or two.
