Oh, shit. What a jerk. I wasn't thinking. It's like fraternity stuff. I don't wear it because I don't want people to walk up to me and have a conversation about it. I can at least pretend.

Chapter 4: What are the highlights of Wiz Khalifa's new album 'Khatoic'?

3716.892 - 3722.18 Corey Holcomb

I'm being an asshole. That's the one. I actually think that album was really, did y'all hear Chaotic? I listened to a little bit of it.

0

3722.28 - 3723.362 Parks

I did not. I didn't.

3723.462 - 3726.146 Corey Holcomb

I didn't. I see high praise for it online.

0

3726.186 - 3727.148 Parks

That shit is fire.

0

3727.248 - 3728.269 Corey Holcomb

It is a fire album.

Chapter 5: What are the critiques of Wiz Khalifa's collaborations?

3728.369 - 3739.469 Corey Holcomb

I have one little critique, but there's a couple of guest appearances I didn't love. But Wiz is rapping his ass off. The production is great. Great songs. It feels good. That's a song. That's an album you want to be driving down the street listening to.

0

3739.489 - 3748.698 Parks

I feel like there's two Wiz's. There's like fun stoner Wiz. And then there's like, I'm going to show you I can really rap and I get with it. Wiz. And this was the latter.

0

3748.918 - 3753.762 Corey Holcomb

There's only one feature on this album that I've been saying since he came home, I wanted Wiz and Max.

0
0

3754.363 - 3760.408 Corey Holcomb

But this was not the Wiz and Max I wanted. Oh, I like that record. Do you like? I wanted. Let me hear it. Oh, good.

Chapter 6: How do the hosts feel about Anton Daniels and Corey Holcomb's exchange?

3760.388 - 3778.238 Corey Holcomb

Load it up. This is not what I wanted. Great song. Two to three verses are great. That's all I'm going to say. It ain't even that for me. It's just when I wanted Wiz and Max, I wanted melodic. That's what I want to hear. This is kind of a lot. Okay, let the verses come in.

0

3778.258 - 3779.159 Parks

Yeah, I hear what you're saying.

0

3779.179 - 3781.984 Corey Holcomb

I mean, Max still just don't sound like Max yet, but that's what I'm saying.

0

3782.004 - 3782.845 Parks

Yeah, that's fine.

0

3783.506 - 3845.144 Corey Holcomb

Wait a minute, wait a minute. He be rapping, man. I'm going to go listen to this. This whole album is key. I love it. Like I said, just a couple features. This is melodic to me. Yeah, exactly. Let's talk about Max specifically.

3845.505 - 3848.41 Ish

I like you can hear his Pittsburgh accent.

3848.47 - 3891.113 Corey Holcomb

Is Max coming up? Yes. Right here. I wonder why he chose not to sing. That's weird. He would have sang here? I wonder why he chose not to. Maybe he's just not there yet.

3891.373 - 3899.145 Ish

I think he's still getting his foot. He's been in the closet for 20 years. Get the nigga. I'm giving him grace. I'm not. I don't like the way they're mixing him right now either.

3899.245 - 3903.531 Parks

His voice is already raspy, but the double is the double. It's clashing.

Chapter 7: What are Jay Leno's thoughts on honoring marriage vows during illness?

7399.077 - 7399.317 Joe Budden

No.

0

7399.337 - 7404.382 Ish

Bro, it's sickness and health. If this nigga gets dementia and she's not dead yet, no, you can't get another bitch.

0

7404.402 - 7410.909 Corey Holcomb

Well, that's what Jay Leno said. He said, we took a vow. I don't understand why people are so upset or so shocked that I would honor my vows. And I support that.

0

7410.929 - 7422.84 Corey Holcomb

And if my wife, just to be clear, wife, if you get Alzheimer's or dementia or any other thing where you don't know where I am or who I am and you can't track me and you don't remember what just happened, I will be 100% without a girlfriend because that's how I roll.

0

7422.82 - 7451.038 Corey Holcomb

facts however you can't track me they got married in 1980 back when vows meant something yeah and I think you gotta honor those vows I'm just saying there is another way to look at this and I saw this with B. Smith up in New York before she passed away rest in peace some people feel like if I am so out of it that I don't know where I am I don't want you to be without companionship I don't want you to be alone so like if I got dementia and Alzheimer's I'm telling you my wife can have a boyfriend

7451.356 - 7458.887 Corey Holcomb

I don't care. Because I don't know where I am. Oh, she really got the best of that spirit of conversation. Oh, yeah. She whooped your ass. She smoked him.

Chapter 8: How do personal experiences shape views on dementia and relationships?

7458.907 - 7462.572 Corey Holcomb

But that's a real mature way to look at it. I agree with that. Me too. I agree with that.

0

7462.853 - 7478.401 Ish

Bro, the thought of getting dementia and Alzheimer's, all of that, it scares the fuck out of me. And I really feel like if you really love me... Take me out back like a dog and just get rid of me. Don't have me wandering around the fucking cul-de-sac, asking for shit, talking to neighbors. I don't even fucking like it. She said wandering around the cul-de-sac.

0

7478.421 - 7486.98 Ish

I got my motherfucking house dress on backwards, titties out, in the fucking cul-de-sac. Get rid of me. Oh, they ain't seen nothing. Nigga. Oh, shit.

7487.924 - 7497.978 Ish

It's his birthday. When you don't think about the worst ways to go, those are one of the worst ways to go for me.

7497.998 - 7498.419 Mark Lamont Hill

Yeah, it's scary.

7498.459 - 7506.49 Ish

Like, bro, literally, you just doing your regular, you go to Target, you Mr. Wild Wild, you go every weekend there, you have Royal Farms, just confused. You don't know what the fuck going on.

7506.824 - 7517.78 Corey Holcomb

You know what I mean? But is it looking for the person outside? Outside looking in, it might be the worst, but to the person, they don't even know. How is it that bad? They don't know.

7517.96 - 7525.811 Ish

It's bad because I've watched so many documentaries. There's levels of it. You might lose a day a week and then lose a couple of days.
