Mark, it was Martin Luther King Day a few days ago. Oh, that's, okay. And that's when Mark goes and does 20 speaking engagements. He woke up, started posting all his old pastor clips. That's true.
I was up at 5 in the morning on his Insta story and seeing he was up posting. I'm like, yo, Mark, my brother, look at you, man.
Chapter 2: How does Mark's experience relate to the conversation about friendships?
Now you're sitting there miniature. Yes. You like, when you don't sleep, you look more miniature than you know it. Like, you shrink in the chair. You got your coffee like that's going to help. You didn't, the hoodie shrunk somehow. The jeans definitely shrunk. Everything is tinier. Pause. Yo, not everything, man. You know, the bills are getting paid. No shape up. Look at your mustache.

And made it on time.
Chapter 3: What are the key themes in the discussion about Common vs. Jadakiss?
I had no voice. I would have called out, but I didn't know who else. You know what I mean? I wanted to make sure there's enough people here, you know what I mean? Because it's sick season, so I thought, you know. No, we show up. Unless people get sick, you know what I mean? Well, yeah, if you hop from airport to dirty-ass airport speaking at gate B-52. We can't all afford to fly private, Joseph.
No, I'm not flying. I ain't been nowhere. I'm not flying. I don't have a trip booked. It is stay-in season. Word, sure. Word. Oh, I would love it. The phone this morning said 17, but it feels like three. Yeah, it's cold. Tell me what the feel like is. I'm not going nowhere, nigga. I woke up, made some tuna fish the other night.
like when you plan to be in that's some black people bunker shit like you make this tuna nah for the next few days look you look at the weather and you see alright it's going to snow or it's going to be cold and shit you stock up you ain't going nowhere no I'm not leaving me I made some tuna that's some old nigga shit good saltine crackers And salty. Tuna hell niggas down. Good crackers.
And my girl was like, yo, you on your, let's do the lettuce wraps on them. I said, ooh. She be upgrading you. The lettuce cups with the tuna smoked it. I'm not a big fan of the lettuce wrap. It's good. I love a good lettuce wrap.
She sliced some tomatoes, put them chips on it.
It was good. It was good. Joe, I knew you was on that on Saturday. That's why I didn't call you. We supposed to, we talked about going to check out to Simone in New Brunswick. My girl was like, ain't you going out with Joe? I was like, If he don't call, I'm not calling him. Cause it was cold and it was snowing.
Yeah, but the funny thing about that, like we should communicate, cause I think you got it in reverse. Like Mona's thing was Sunday. Oh, was it Sunday? I'm sorry. I said Saturday. I meant Sunday. I'm sorry. It was a long weekend. When Mona was here, it was you. You prompted. You was like, yo, Mona, I'm going to see you Sunday. And then I said, if you go, I'll go. So it's not if I call you.
That's backwards. It is backwards. Oh, no, it's totally me. No, he was trying not to go. He was just like, as long as Joe don't call, I ain't calling. I know what's going to happen. Joe's a team player. Joe will be like, oh, yeah, let's roll. And then I'll be like, fuck, now I got to go. And I want to see Mona. It was snowing outside. And cold as fuck. And I couldn't get off the couch.

Chapter 4: What are the challenges of building friendships as we age?
Mike ain't going nowhere. I just got views on new friendships. I just got views on new friendships. Do people get grandfathered in though? We passed that point. I'm weary of all you motherfuckers. Okay. I'm weary of them all. Don't I say that to you all the time? You got to give me reason to not be weary. And part of that is what's going on with you. What you got going on? The same with women.
You had to learn that lesson. Start fucking with women that had something going on. Something to lose. Yeah, you got to look at it a little. It's the same thing to me. From that side, which is how I heard it first when I agreed with you, I get it. Like, it's hard to build relationships with people who ain't going nowhere when you going somewhere.
Chapter 5: How do we evaluate the quality of our friendships?
And I don't mean money or nothing like that. I just mean life-wise. Because that's a recipe for disaster and trouble. It's one thing if you got them people in your life from 20 years ago because you kind of know them and trust them. But new people that ain't doing shit don't usually end up. Because where does the conversation go after a while? Because my whole life is because we've done it.
Most of my whole life is work. By the time you get to, well, let me speak for me. At 45, heading into 46, all the boxes in my life are there. Got my friend box, my work box, my relationship box, kids, dad, like a new box, a new person. I feel you. Where did they come from? A new box. And why? And why are they here, nigga? And what do you like to do? Like, where you come from?

You're a leader, show. I'm not. I'm not. Answer Mark's question, nigga. Are you trying to get rid of any friends? Yeah, I'm not trying to get rid of any. No, I love my friend group, just the way that it is.
I love them. I don't have any friend that I sit and think about how to 86 them. Gotcha. Y'all sick. Yes, yes. Y'all sickos. I got three of us on the bubble right now. Oh, shit. It's a lot of niggas.
