The thoughts, views, and opinions expressed by this podcast, as well as its hosts, are for entertainment purposes only. I repeat, it is not serious. It is not real. No one is exposing, revealing, indicting, or telling you anything about themselves. Also, we do not encourage you to try this at home. We are trained professionals who do not have your best interests at heart, or our own. Enjoy the show. Turn the mic on, and he calls himself a professional. Why do y'all never know that we're starting? Because it's seven minutes earlier than we normally start. You got a bacon, egg, and cheese as a non-praying Muslim. Always turkey. You still got that dirty Diana phone case. Oh, I'm keeping this. That red shit that I told you to change.
Your classic gray jeans. Come on, Mark. We got a show to do.
We started seven minutes early.
No, we didn't. We're starting 22 minutes late. And really, that's 52 minutes late. It's really 52 minutes late. But it's good to see everybody. Almost everybody.
That's the other reason I think we started it right here.
everybody's here, Mark. That's the thing, man. Oh, that's philosophical. Yeah, everybody's here. Everybody's here. The audience is here. Yeah. That's true. The large crew is a luxury. Right. That's true. It wasn't always like this. Yeah, not at all. First time I watched it was just you. And in my head, it can always be that. So if I'm here and Parks is here and you guys are here, we're here. The show's ready. Ish is on the way. He's here with us in spirit. We love him. We hope everything is okay. Mona called out ages ago. We love her. She's our sister. She's here with us in spirit. We hope everything is okay. And Flip is on the way. Nice. Gang will be here. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
He said we got enough.
Yeah. Less is more. I didn't need gang to say what I got to say about B2K. Oh, shit. I ain't need nobody for that. That was fun. I'm glad you took your take back. Word. Last episode. Glad you walked that back. I ain't no dummy. I got ahead of that early. Some people say things on the airwaves and they never revisit it themselves. They go home and that's just it. Whatever comes with it. Not me. I go home and some of this shit lingers with me. I think about it. I was like, oh, I said that shit. Yeah? And I watch some shit from years ago and be like, ugh. Like, it's important. It's important. Boy, did they get dog walked. They got their ass whooped. I missed it and I'm not mad that I missed it. You didn't miss it. You didn't miss it.
It was Astoria fireworks last night, and then we went and watched a little soccer, a little football. What was those fireworks about? They do the 4th of July fireworks early, did not compete with the big New York fireworks. That's the Astoria Park fireworks. And Hove had fireworks, too. No, he didn't. He was watching the Astoria fireworks, buddy. Hove had fireworks. No, he didn't. And Hove was in Astoria with us, man. And your Astoria had fireworks? Hove had fireworks, man. He saw fireworks. Hove was with us, man. He was in Astoria. All right, we just getting lines. I don't think he was in a story park.
I thought y'all would have been there.
I was on my balcony confused as hell. Somebody's having a blast. And it wasn't like the Project Niggas with Roman Candles blast. Those are big fireworks. Well, they passed around. You know how they passed around? Well, they on social media was going around certain areas. Rock Nation filed for the permits and there were fireworks planned at Pier 81 and it was a couple locations because he had put this map out.
I thought you were joking.
No, I'm dead serious. He did the whole shit yesterday with the pop-up shops and then all these specific locations like where the tunnel was, where D&D Studios was, all that type of shit and they had fireworks set up. I would have went to the D&D fireworks. I was there. All right. You got it. Hey, yo, Freeze. Come on, man.
How did the hosts discuss vacations, relationships, and writing love letters?
Don't start with me today. Don't make me start with you. Don't start with me. Jay-Z did not have fireworks. And if he did, I'm going to judge him. Bro, yesterday was the 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt.
