Hold your head, yo. Damn. Let me get you a different. I was watching the news. Five-year-old fell out the window in the Bronx.
But they waited till the end of the story to say, he's in stable condition, he's safe, he's in the hospital. And I was like, all right, thank God. But then I was like, man, the 80s, we used to always fall out the window.
Chapter 5: What are the contrasting views on Kanye West's recent actions?
The cat fell out the window. Niggas fell out the window. That shit used to be a thing.
I'm talking about the 80s and the 90s. Nobody ever fell out the window. You trying to climb some shit, escape some shit, you running around.
They learned from the error of their ways and created building standards that would dictate that you have bars on your windows. Nigga, everybody that had one parent on drugs and lived in a building and had a cat, that cat fell out the window before. I believe you. And lived to tell about it. My cat fell from the ninth floor, nigga, in 1809 projects. And lived.
And the landlord lost the buildings. And the new landlord said, uh, liability. We're going to screw these bars in and keep it pushing. So down south, I stayed downtown, right? And I don't usually stay downtown. But it was, like, nicer over there. It's nice. But it wasn't nicer. It was nicer than I have seen it in my recent trips.
So, of course, Michael Portland went to call the mayor and got to found out what the T is. Sure. Apparently, there's some niggas out there, there's brothers, like the Davies brothers, and they went and approached the city and... Killing them. Did some shit. Yeah. And now they buying up everything. Yeah, it should have been the Budden brothers. Yeah, Michael Portland, tell me I'm Michael Portland.
Call me, man. Let's do it. They look nice down here, though. That's why you talk to the mayor. Did Dr. Mark Lamont Hill tell y'all that his Memphis grift worked? I got a Memphis grift. Did Mark tell y'all that his Memphis grift worked? I don't have a Memphis grift. I don't have a Memphis grift, but I will say shout out to all the people in the city of Memphis who reached out.
I stand with you in solidarity as we try to build together. So if there's any way I can support your city, just let me know. Just call. Bill, be in the air. The mayor hit Mark. Appropriate word. The mayor did. I was off the record, but yes. But, yeah, you hit me.
And salute to the mayor who's doing everything he can to keep the city going, to build and grow the city, to protect the city, and hopefully to renew the stadium contract because I think it's so important and vital to the city of Memphis. Since we bring in off-the-record stuff, did anybody hit you about Mark's comments?
Mark's comments, Mark's comments, Mark's comments, Mark's comments, Mark's comments, Mark's comments. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, shit, I forgot. Yeah, I put that shit right in the group chat. Exactly. I got you. I got you. Yeah, Rich Boyle hit me about that bullshit fucking Mark Lamar Hill said.
