Okay,

0:03

this is the Iron rapp Report

0:06

podcast and we're doing meditations

0:09

with Michael Rappaport, who

0:12

I've been practicing my yoga and

0:15

it really gets me conscious of

0:17

my breathing. If

0:21

you haven't meditated with us before, welcome.

0:26

This is a meditation.

0:29

It's quick, it's

0:31

good to get started an episode.

0:33

Get your day. Where you're driving, when

0:37

they're at home. I don't

0:39

know, on the train wherever.

0:41

People may or may not be listening

0:44

to the Iron rapp Report podcast. But

0:46

this is a prayer, a meditation that

0:49

I I made

0:51

up. Um. It starts like this.

0:54

For forty something

0:57

years, I've lived in the mountain,

1:01

ignorance of all

1:03

the world's ship, having

1:08

no clue to the comings

1:11

and goings

1:13

of the day to day world. Stay

1:15

with me, rise and fall, warmed

1:20

at night by a fucking stove

1:23

freezing my ass off,

1:26

full of fucking pine needles in my back,

1:29

Satisfied by

1:32

one bowl of

1:35

wild oats at noon. That's

1:37

the only fucking thing I

1:40

get to eat, is one bowl

1:44

of wild oats with

1:47

some water that's lukewarm

1:51

and green from the fucking

1:53

pond down the road. Satisfied

1:57

sitting on rocks, watching

1:59

clouds and empty thoughts,

2:02

patching my fucking robe, biting

2:06

my toe nails, basking

2:09

in the sunlight, all alone,

2:12

miserable in my thoughts,

2:15

but practicing

2:18

silence. That's it. The

2:21

name of this meditation is

2:23

practicing silence. Now,

2:26

just breathe through it, and

2:29

we're back with the Iron Rappaport Podcast.

4:36

Gimo Nettie. I mean,

4:38

I have so many different things I want to talk about

4:40

one but but you know, and I started off

4:42

the episode with a with

4:44

a meditation for the people. I did another meditation

4:48

and now we'll just jump into it. I mean,

4:51

the one thing we're not discussing, I

4:55

want to try not to discuss here.

4:57

If we're gonna go over the things, we're gonna try our

4:59

best not to discuss Caitlyn

5:01

Jenner. We're not talking about you anymore.

5:04

It's done. We've we We've had enough,

5:07

We've had enough for you, and I've had enough

5:10

of your

5:12

whole story being forced down my throat. And

5:14

it's not the story. It's you. It's

5:17

you forcing it down down everybody's throat.

5:19

It's not the story because people might misinterpret

5:22

be like, oh, it's because it's no, no, no, I

5:25

won't off the fucking ride, Caitlin.

5:28

I want off. I want to be able to turn

5:30

on my fucking computer and my television

5:33

and not see you or

5:35

your daughter or your ex wife

5:38

and her man who my man, Gimo

5:40

Nettie. That should be your piece, Chris Jenna

5:43

should be your piece. I don't want to hear about you. I

5:45

don't want to hear about you. Know, there's

5:47

a seventeen year old daughter, right

5:51

every time I go to the New York Daily News,

5:54

And yes, I go to the New York Daily News. First,

5:57

I'm not gonna sit here and try to look like I'm a Wall

5:59

Street journal guy. I go to New

6:02

York Daily News. Then I go to the New York Daily

6:04

Times, the New York Times, Huffington

6:06

Post, The Atlantic, sometimes

6:09

grant Land ESPN.

6:12

Most of the time when you're on there, you're gonna get

6:14

inundated with something from the Kardashians.

6:16

I want to read my New York, my New York Daily

6:19

News, especially when I'm away in Los

6:21

Angeles. But but but today, like

6:23

there's a seventeen year old daughter in that family

6:26

that has made herself

6:29

like deformed her body. She's gotten lips.

6:31

I think she's gotten her breasts. I'm gonna

6:33

say breast because she's seventeen. Because I was thinking,

6:35

should we even be talking about a seventeen year old

6:38

in this way? And then I was like, she wants

6:40

you to be talking about that, because otherwise she wouldn't

6:42

be doing this every day inundated

6:44

with this ship. I don't

6:47

want it anymore. I don't

6:49

want it. Like like a seventeen year old asked,

6:51

did she do injections or did she not do

6:53

injections her her tits? Did

6:56

she do injections? To do? This is crazy.

6:59

It's crazy that a mom allows It's crazy

7:01

that the daughter is cool. It's crazy

7:03

that their family doesn't care that a seventeen year

7:05

old daughter. Do you know how that

7:08

is? Encourage it on the front

7:10

page. So we're not talking about you.

7:12

Fucking people were not talking about fucking

7:15

Caitlin. Uh Cosby,

7:17

We're done with you. We already got him.

7:20

We already got you last

7:22

year. Yeah, we we got

7:24

you. I mean not that we were the first,

7:27

but we got you. Really. We we lit it up

7:29

the unique way.

7:31

Uh So, do you have any things that you don't want to discuss?

7:34

No, man, you that's it enough

7:36

Caitlin, my man, cause enough.

7:39

Now let's go into some new ship. Yeah,

7:41

some new ship. You know that social

7:44

media is so rampant

7:46

that if somebody I had a conversation with somebody

7:48

the other day and they were like, no, I'm not on social

7:51

media, and I was like, why not, dummy, Like

7:54

if you're not on social media at this point. It's

7:56

almost like not having a cell phone,

8:00

Like it's kind of like you're you're

8:02

you're out of a whole phase of communication.

8:04

Yeah, that's definitely true. Work.

8:07

That was just an observation when

8:09

when when uh, when this person uh

8:12

said this to me, um,

8:15

the big rap battle. I want to get

8:17

into this. Have have you been following? Were

8:20

we We'll get right into this. We'll get right

8:22

into this. Drake everybody. We don't need to bring up

8:24

to speed. Drake first, Meek Mill now

8:27

ah, I hate

8:29

I hate to sound you see like, let

8:33

me let me, let me let me try. Sorry,

8:35

sorry sorry, let me let me let me get this, let

8:38

me try. This gets me so angry because

8:41

on social media you'll

8:43

read people say, oh you you old people.

8:46

You old dudes are always getting mad about the

8:48

current rap. But you gotta

8:51

it's not old. It's not the current

8:53

rap. It's the good versus the bad.

8:56

It's the real versus the not real. It's

8:58

the the authentic

9:00

moments verse the

9:03

contrived aged moments.

9:06

Yeah. So

9:08

when I and we've talked about to

9:11

me the greatest rap

9:13

battle, because it was it was

9:15

recorded live, and and the

9:17

reaction is so visceral. When I

9:19

talk about Busy be versus Cool

9:21

Mo D, like you you you were

9:23

saying one time,

9:26

like busy Bee didn't

9:28

know what the fuck he

9:31

didn't know what was gonna happen.

9:33

He didn't know like a dude, like a like a

9:35

game changing m C was

9:37

gonna come and and and that ship probably

9:40

went on all the time in hip

9:42

hop, but this ship was recorded. Like

9:44

there's probably so many battle rhymes

9:47

and battles and freestyle

9:50

ship that you'll never hear again that wasn't recorded

9:53

so many of those with Mo D,

9:56

Busy Bee, Cokelan

9:59

Rock, just

10:01

all the old early tapes. So

10:05

that's why that that that battle is so crazy,

10:07

and you could hear busy bees

10:09

reaction to the fucking thing like live.

10:11

That's what I think this is the best one because when

10:14

you do a record, when you when you

10:16

when like if if Cool J is doing a record

10:18

and then Iced Tea is doing a record, you gotta wait

10:20

for the record. This happened in front of each other. That's

10:23

the rare thing about this battle. These are two

10:26

known dudes, respected dudes who

10:28

you know. Of course, Modi was like fucking

10:30

advanced, like it was like he was dunking,

10:33

and and and and uh, you

10:35

know, other dudes were just putting this is before

10:37

the dunk. That's almost like the dunk.

10:39

That's like almost like the first dunk in battle rep

10:42

like, oh, ship, he dunked it in a

10:44

game where everybody

10:46

knows Mo d what he did, and

10:49

and busy bees like what the funk? It's

10:51

not even fair so anyway, So the

10:53

fact that they were doing it right in front of

10:55

each other, and it was recorded and it was so

10:58

good to me may in number

11:00

one. But as far as it's Drake and Meek

11:02

Millship, what

11:05

do you know about it? Jim? I

11:08

don't know what to say because Meek

11:11

I don't know him

11:13

from from anywhere, so I don't have you never

11:15

you never never heard his music. I don't know if he's

11:17

good or bad. And the

11:20

other guy. I don't like Drake.

11:23

Yeah, a lot of people friends of

11:25

ours, people that we respect, they

11:28

funk with Drake. I know, I just don't like. I

11:30

don't like his presentation. I don't like the

11:32

singing. Yeah, I don't like the singing.

11:34

But would you say that his m

11:37

seeing is good? Like what you've heard,

11:39

he's good, he has he's good.

11:42

It's just not my taste. It's just not my tasty,

11:45

so I can respect it. But

11:47

that's not a battle like the

11:49

last great heavyweight MC

11:53

battle was jay Z and that's it.

11:55

It's never gonna get any better because dudes

11:57

are not on that level. They're not respected

12:00

on that level. And jay Z and has both come

12:02

from lyrics like these

12:04

are craftsmen that before

12:06

they were jay Z and Nas. They were working on it,

12:08

before they were known, before

12:11

they knew like they they've been rapping like

12:14

for years, writing it down

12:16

on paper. Well jay Z didn't, but

12:18

if there was at some point he took

12:20

pen to paper before

12:22

he stopped writing, and he took pen to paper like guys

12:25

now they don't write their ship down like they do

12:27

it on their cell phone. Just right there,

12:29

I'm gonna share a story. I'm

12:32

talking here. Sorry, Moody interrupt

12:35

any time you want. I'm gonna share a story that Large

12:37

Professor told me that was

12:39

cut out of the tribe called Quest. When we all articulated,

12:42

he I asked him Large Professor who

12:45

from the group main source, prominent

12:47

producer. He produced a lot

12:49

of tribe called Quest Records. He produced cool,

12:52

cool, g rap and polo running the

12:54

greatest beatmakers, and he didn't. And

12:56

he did it when he was really young, like he started

12:58

when he was like sixteen seventeen and Eric B and

13:00

Rock him, so he was like a teenager amongst

13:03

these guys who weren't that much older, but they were like twenty,

13:07

like you know older. Anyway, I I can't give

13:09

his life story to details, but large professors

13:11

a fucking if you don't know who he is. He's

13:13

one of the most important, original

13:16

respected producers in hip hop. So I

13:18

asked him what was it like when

13:21

Rock Kim came into the studio? And this is what he told

13:23

him. I'll give this short version, and I'm not gonna try to do

13:25

it the way he does it because he has such a such

13:28

a ill flow the way he talks,

13:30

and so it's it's crazy. So

13:32

I said to him, Uh,

13:35

what what was it like when Rock Kim came in? And he said,

13:37

he came in he was wearing a red veloor

13:40

suit. He had to cell phones.

13:43

He had two cellphones. He took the cell phones

13:45

out, put them both down, the big cell

13:48

phones, and and I think he

13:50

said he had a beeper. He had the jewels

13:52

on he said, he had the jewels on, he said,

13:54

and he took out of out of

13:56

his pocket, out of his jacket pocket. And

13:58

I can't remember if he took it of the sweatsuit or out

14:01

of the jacket. He took out a

14:03

ziplock bag and in it

14:05

was Rock Kim's notebook. When

14:09

he told me that ship, I got the fucking chills.

14:11

I was like, oh shit, dope

14:14

as in that notebook

14:16

and he had his ship in his ziplock Rock

14:19

Him, I was like, he cares, Yo,

14:23

he cares. This isn't like I'm gonna

14:26

throw this up on Twitter. This is

14:28

like a fucking scientist, a

14:30

scientist, an artist. He's not

14:32

just throwing his ship up on Twitter.

14:34

He's not just putting it out on fucking Instagram.

14:37

Rock Him was on some other

14:39

ship so and nineteen

14:41

so when he when he's talking about the zip block bag

14:43

with the notebook and you guys like,

14:46

you guys are steady mad. No, our standards

14:48

are just way higher. We're

14:51

not mad. I'm not mad. I just listened

14:53

to the busy beat ship it

14:55

gets these battle

14:57

these so called battle songs that were put

14:59

out this week. See if you're talking

15:02

about him, let alone listening to him

15:04

in ten years because I could still

15:06

listen to Ether, could

15:10

still listen to Busy be Kumo,

15:14

l L and L

15:17

like the young people are like Yo LLL. He's on that CBS

15:19

show Yo beefing

15:23

with y Clef. He never did his ass

15:25

uh he he hasn't lost the rhyme,

15:27

right, Nah. Cannabis

15:30

Cannabis got Cannabis got him. See, those are battles,

15:32

man, Those are battles. You win some, you lose something.

15:34

That's the beauty of it. But but l L's

15:36

credibility wasn't shadow because he just lost

15:39

that battle. It's not like he's gonna

15:41

go into an abyss like apparently

15:43

from what I've read on the internet, meek

15:47

Mill has lost this battle as of yet.

15:49

And and because of the Internet, it's

15:53

like he's being They

15:55

want to like cast him away, send

15:58

him away. He's like you going to He's a asked away

16:00

and and that's not the way it should be. He should

16:02

come back again, come back with some other ship.

16:05

Yeah, they're gonna throw you out

16:07

the ring. Fuck that. I

16:09

don't know you meique, but come back

16:12

and getting his ass if it's like that in his

16:14

as that man, Yo,

16:17

if I was if I was a rapper today,

16:20

I'm not. I never was a rapper.

16:22

I wish I could wrap, but

16:25

yo, I would, I would go at him hard. I'll just

16:28

go out and I would be Yo,

16:30

I would be at I'd go at him hard. I would say,

16:32

Now he's good, he says, some slick ship Common

16:35

got him good. Oh yeah, Common Common.

16:39

He was smart enough and respectful enough.

16:41

I'm pretty sure maybe he maybe he did, maybe

16:44

he did respond, but

16:46

but I don't think he did. But it doesn't matter. Like

16:49

it's a different level. So so to say, oh, you

16:51

old guys are angry, What

16:53

the fund do I I could put on? Mama

like Mick Jagger and the role. They

19:00

look like shit and they let

19:02

themselves look like ship like it's over. Your

19:05

best days are behind you up there

19:07

rocking your seventy. You

19:10

gotta give him problem and not going with the

19:12

fact that they're alive is a beautiful thing to

19:14

go see the Rolling Stones is

19:17

I'm like, absolutely, but

19:20

but hip hop, these guys are like

19:22

they could walk down they could they could walk down the street and

19:24

no one knows who. That's why they have to go travel

19:27

around the world. They loved around the world. There loved

19:29

around the world. Gerald But let's not make it seem

19:31

like around the world is like, it's not like they walk

19:33

around the world and they're treated like the Rolling Stones,

19:35

like I know, we don't know, and we'd like to think like,

19:38

yeah, they're they're more respected, but it's not like,

19:40

you know, they're not super super super

19:42

star, No, but they should be treated

19:44

like superstars. Big Daddy

19:47

Kane, rock him,

19:49

Slick Rick. These

19:51

are superstars. These are pillars of all his ship.

19:54

Salute respect

19:57

these guys. While they're

19:59

a lot, we have them, they're they're they're they're not even

20:01

most of them aren't even much older than

20:03

fifty years old, Icons

20:07

Africa, Bambada, Cool

20:10

Mo d Mellie Male Kill.

20:14

20:29

in New York City.

20:32

We gotta appreciate it while while we have it, I

20:34

mean, hip hop, we've has lost

20:36

a lot of people, but the majority of the

20:38

people are still there and some you

20:41

know what, you know what, you know what it would be how valuable

20:43

would be in jazz if like John Coltrane

20:45

was around, Miles Davis was around,

20:48

and Charles Mingus was around, and

20:50

Charlie Parker was around, like we have Quincy

20:52

Jones and like a handful of other guys.

20:54

But like Dave Brewbeck, I mean, guys are gone

20:58

and we have our guys hip hop had are

21:00

there. Guys, rock and roll has

21:02

some people left. Hip hop

21:04

has the most because he's so young, and

21:07

we we we don't, we don't appress this motherfucker's

21:09

man. They'd be like, oh, you're mad, because

21:11

I'm mad that's not a battle that went

on between Drake and meek Mill. That's

21:16

like a fucking. That's like a fucking that's

21:18

24:43

have actually been Thursday. They announced

24:45

it far it doesn't matter what day. They announced a

24:47

couple of days ago about there there.

24:49

If you don't know their defensive lineman,

24:51

their defensive tackle, right defensive

24:54

end, sorry, defensive end j P.

24:56

P On the fourth of July.

24:59

We already report worded. We didn't. We didn't

25:01

break the news that he blew

25:03

his fucking hand off, but we said

25:05

that. No one said no,

25:08

one said he blew fingers off. No,

25:11

they we knew by what happened.

25:14

No, but he no, no, no, it

25:16

was already reported. But they said,

25:20

Jason, Pierre, Paul, whatever the fund is,

25:22

what is it? Pierce, Paul,

25:24

Peter, JPP lost

25:27

fingers. But we said he blew

25:30

his fucking fingers off. And

25:32

and so we don't need to go into y

25:35

know, they didn't say he lost fingers. They

25:37

didn't know. And he never listened to the Iron Rap War

25:39

podcast and I expect there's new listeners

25:41

every week where we we we we

25:43

we we talked about that. I expect

25:45

everybody to know who JPP is. Okay, he blew

25:48

his fucking hand. So the giants there's they're

25:50

starting training camp and the

25:52

owner and that the

25:54

the the coach, it was Tom Coughlin

25:56

and Mara. They said, we haven't

25:58

seen we have an examp Hammond JDP.

26:01

No, they and they haven't seen it. They don't know how

26:03

many fucking fingers he has that

26:07

he said, I don't know how many fucking fingers

26:12

defensive end? And you don't

26:14

know how many fucking fingers he has?

26:18

Oh, Ship, you

26:20

know this is your defensive end who wants

26:23

to get max money. He wants

26:25

he wants to get max money. I don't know what the

26:27

term is. It's called the franchise tag.

26:31

And the owner and the coach are like,

26:33

I don't know how many fucking

26:35

fingers here? And

26:37

I we're not the reason why we're

26:39

able to laugh at this because if

26:42

I'm only gonna explain this one more time and then I'm not

26:44

explaining our A'm not defending our ourselves

26:47

anymore. Gerald that

26:49

the reason why we're laughing is because he's okay, and he chose,

26:52

if you don't know, to have one of the fingers

26:54

removed so he could play this season and missless

26:57

games. God damn. He was like,

26:59

fuck, my, my, my, my index finger

27:01

on my left right hand, get rid of it. It'll

27:03

keep me out of the season. Where his other finger was his

27:05

thumb was like almost blowing yeah.

27:08

But they were able to save that. And

27:11

they then and they're starting training camp and

27:13

they said they don't not

27:17

anything like, oh, the status of his knee

27:19

not we haven't we haven't seen the the m

27:22

r I from his shoulder. Not oh,

27:24

27:58

28:03

dangling. Not only did he blow

28:05

28:09

28:39

Damn, they don't know how

28:42

many fucking fingers you got.

28:47

What else? G Moody? I read and

28:50

it hurts my heart to say

28:53

this, but I had to fact

28:55

check on this one. Oh yeah, okay, okay,

28:57

we do it once in a hurt your heart to fact check.

29:00

Yeah, you know we don't

29:02

fact check at the Iron Rap Or podcast, where we

29:04

also have that trademark no fact checking, So

29:06

if you try to steal it, we'll fucking sue you. Shout

29:08

out to uh the uh John

29:11

Taturo, Nick de Turro Line and Mo

29:13

Betta Blues, I'll see you, yo,

29:16

my man, Vin Baker works at

29:18

Starbucks. We had to fact check this.

29:21

Let's let's bring the people up to speed. You

29:23

heard this story, uh on

29:26

dead Spin and Gerald then texts

29:29

me and says to me, yo, Vin

29:31

Baker's working in the Starbucks. And because

29:33

Gerald doesn't fact check, and Gerald

29:36

has been known to not only just make

29:38

up total stories

29:40

and headlines to stories, he

29:42

will also won't fact check, So I'll

29:45

here, I'll share this. A couple of weeks ago,

29:47

Gerald texts me that

29:50

kid in Play have come out as gay,

29:52

and I was like, I was at dinner or something was like, what the

29:54

funk are you talking about? This is over text and

29:57

he's like, Yo, they came out and he sends

29:59

me some bullshit article and some bullshit

30:01

paper and it turns out that it was just

30:03

bullshit. So when he tells me that

30:05

Vin Baker, And if you don't know who Vin Baker is, he's a

30:07

former Olympian, former Olympian,

30:10

former uh Max play made a

30:12

hundred million dollars in the NBA for

30:14

various teams, but he played for the New York Knicks.

30:16

Had some mildly productive years here.

30:19

Um, but he made a hundred million dollars, okay,

30:23

And now he's a barista in Rhode

30:25

Island writing names on cups

30:28

at a Starbucks. I

30:30

just want to know what happened to that hundred million.

30:33

I have to assume that

30:35

if he had a hobby, or

30:38

or if he had aspirations of

30:42

doing coffee, he'd

30:44

be like he if he had like a passion for

30:46

coffee, he'd be a like a and I love star

30:48

I funk with Starbucks. He'd

30:50

be he'd be funk with star Wars every day.

30:52

But he would go to like some kind of like you know,

30:55

high end hipster coffee that makes

30:57

their coffee roasted and all that fancy

30:59

hipster coffee ship that funk with that too. Now

31:02

I'm on that ship the

31:04

gig, so he now, but he's working

31:06

at the Starbucks as a Barrissett. And the point

31:09

is is that he

31:11

he had to. He blew all his fucking money,

31:14

damn a hundred million dollars.

31:17

And and and not only is he Vin Baker, like he said,

31:19

like if you follow basketball like he's a

31:22

star, you know, you'll you'll know who Vin Baker

31:24

is. Russ. He's a six ft eleven

31:27

black dude in a Starbucks,

31:30

which is if you every Starbucks is pretty

31:32

much built the same. The majority of

31:34

them are not that big. I

31:36

hope he's at one of those those like ones like you know,

31:38

in Times Square they have the big ones, and Rhode

31:40

Island, motherfuck, they might have one in them more

31:43

like in in l A. There's like a couple of big ones,

31:45

but the majority and or small that fucking guy's

31:47

gonna be. So imagine him like you know tight

31:49

it is behind the bar at Starbucks,

31:52

you know, like they kind of they have to hustle behind

31:54

each other. He's gonna be like taking

31:56

the whole fucking thing up, sucking

31:59

up drinks. Everybody's gonna be looking at him. Motherfucker's

32:02

are gonna be coming and ask him for autographs, and

32:04

everybody's gonna be like, what the fuck are

32:06

you doing here? From Baker? And that's

32:08

the question that we really have is are

32:11

you if you If if you're financially

32:13

fine and I'm not counting your ship, that's cool.

32:15

And you just wanted to work at Starbucks,

32:17

then that's fine too, that's not but

32:19

that's not fat. But but if if that's not the

32:22

point, and you blew a hundred million dollars,

32:24

we want to give you an open invite to the Iron Rapp

32:26

Report podcast. I

32:29

want you giving me financial advice so

32:32

I could do the total fucking opposite.

32:34

I want to get financial advice from you Antoine

32:38

Walker and Latrell Spreewall, because

32:40

if those guys give you their five best

32:43

financial advice tips and you did

32:45

the other way, you'd be a fucking

32:47

trillionaire. Yeah,

32:50

how how do you blow a hundred

32:53

million? Let me tell you something. If I ever

32:55

made if I had ten million

32:58

dollars, i'd be you wouldn't hear from

33:00

my crape and see me if I had liquid

33:02

ten million dollars, you think that we this podcast

33:04

would be a fucking rap g. I wouldn't

33:07

act like I walked down the street like I don't know

33:09

you. Yeah, no,

33:13

no, no, I just like that. I'm

33:16

sucking out, dude, who

33:18

are you? Oh yeah, we did that podcast. I'm

33:20

not on that ship. I'm

33:23

moving to Italy places

33:25

unknown. You fuck do it by yourself.

33:27

You have to yoke your ass up. The fuck you.

33:29

I'm not doing the podcast. I'm getting on this fucking

33:31

plane first class. I'm not

33:34

buying the plane just because I made the ten million,

33:36

you know, and I'm not gonna buy seventeen

33:39

cars and fucking

33:41

let this one you go broke. It's

33:43

easy. Ask him, he'll

33:45

tell you what you just said. I brought

33:47

a plane. I brought a tiger.

33:50

The tiger has to eat. Latrelle

33:52

33:55

that too. So you mean you're making a hundred million.

33:57

You're not. You're not paying for ship. What

33:59

the fucks the pointed the money? You know? I

34:01

got this that yad is how much this amount

34:04

I know that's what the people are telling him. Yeah, maybe you shouldn't

34:11

get I'm gonna play some forty and

34:13

34:15

up being a fucking bodyguard or

34:18

bouncing at a club or being a barrist

34:31

don't want to be there, and it's

34:33

34:37

to the baristas. I'm saying. It's always like, you

34:39

want to be a barista, then you want to be a manager, then you

34:41

want to be an owner, is what I'm saying. It's I'm not so I'm

34:44

not I funk with my Starbucks barista's.

34:46

I love respect and treat them

34:48

like fantastic or something to

34:50

do. I've witnessed that. But

34:52

Vin Baker, I'm gonna

34:55

be uncomfortable to see him. I don't want

34:57

to see him because I'm gonna be like

34:59

35:01

give him a pound and show up some damn

35:03

yo, like yo, what's up? Because

35:21

of the action all season long at

35:24

DraftKings dot com, the official

35:27

daily fantasy partner of Major League

35:29

Baseball. Daily fantasy means no season

35:31

long commitments, just instant cash and instant

35:34

gratifications. If you want to win some money from

35:36

your cousin, your nephew, you go to

35:39

DraftKings dot com. You're best friends and so

35:41

much fun. Me and g Moody, we got Nato.

35:43

We're not even big baseball fans. I've

said it before. I'm not a huge baseball fan,

35:47

but I like to bet. I

35:50

to bet responsible, and I don't go nuts.

35:52

But when I'm feeling good, I'll put some money

35:54

down and sometimes I win. Sometimes you lose,

35:57

all right, that's part of gambling. Don't go crazy

35:59

like I that. Just pick two pictures, pick eight

Did you hear about Sheldon Richardson

36:38

Jets? Yeah? I did?

36:41

You want to bring the viewers the listeners

36:43

up to speed? I

36:46

think you you should do it, my friend. Fine,

36:50

So what happened

36:52

with Sheldon Richardson,

36:55

who's a twenty four year old

36:58

pro bowler? Yeah? For can

37:00

fact checking because I wanted so many fucking

37:02

things happened that I actually need

37:04

to jot it down, and

37:07

so many different things. But the

37:09

the the guy, and I'm gonna have

37:11

a different take on it. Then you. Then you,

37:14

then you might think I'm gonna have a He

37:16

was speeding at a hundred twenty

37:18

two hundred thirty five and a hundred and forty

37:21

three miles per hour in a fucking

37:23

Bentley. You know how fucking crazy

37:25

you gotta be to drive anywhere, even

37:27

on a safe track alone

37:30

at a hundred forty three miles and

37:32

running lights and then at one

37:34

point he shut off the headlights to evade

37:36

the chase by the police are chasing him.

37:39

Yo, the state of mind that you have to

37:41

be in to run from the police at a hundred

37:43

first of all, just running from the police in your car, I

37:46

mean, you

37:49

gotta be they got hell, they're gonna catch you. And

37:53

there was a twelve year old in the car with

37:56

other people in there too. Yeah, he didn't give a

37:58

fuck light through other people in a

38:00

twelve year old? Are you sure? And

38:03

he had a gat under the seat and he had a gun.

38:05

Now. See, this is why I feel like uh

38:08

an intermediate or the league

38:11

or the players Union has to step in, because

38:13

this is a guy who's endanger

38:16

endangering his life. Like I'm scared

38:18

of I'm scared for this guy. This isn't

38:21

just I'm not even gonna say how this doesn't

38:23

even get like a wig a please or

38:25

you dumb fuck, because this

38:28

is a guy I'm scared for. You know why he was

38:30

running? See, this is why you don't know? Do you

38:32

know he got suspended for

38:35

ship prior to this, Yes, this

38:37

is why he was running. But who

38:39

runs from the cops with let

38:41

alone with a twelve year old in the car.

38:44

He didn't. Who does

38:46

that? Somebody? NFL?

38:50

Exactly what I'm saying is this isn't

38:52

like, oh, he's gonna get a four games suspension.

38:55

This guy needs to be evaluated by

38:57

by a third party for

38:59

for for for meant yeah, that's

39:02

this isn't I'm not gonna be caught

39:04

up, he said. I told my teammates,

39:06

you don't have to worry about my name being in the news again.

39:08

No, you're not gonna have a choice

39:10

because we're gonna put you in fucking Bellevue

39:12

for ninety days, evaluate you,

39:15

and we'll see if we'll let you play is

39:18

the last thing. We'll keep you on

39:20

a paid leave, no problem. But as far

39:23

as getting out there and representing the NFL, no,

39:25

no, this is a potential

39:27

nightmare. Like this could have been the biggest

39:30

disaster. See if if

39:32

I like the like the NFL, this

39:34

is like real problems because it's because

39:36

it's a guy Sheldon

39:39

Richardson and not Tom Brady.

39:41

And I'm not comparing the two. We're gonna go with the deflated

39:43

balls, but this should be headlines

39:46

every day for the next month and until this

39:48

guy, this young this young kid twenty

39:50

four years old. If you're behaving that way,

39:53

you're not safe. That's not that's beyond like

39:55

knucklehead dumb ship, like I'm concerned for

39:57

and if I'm his family, I take like

40:00

that's because this is the guy who's

40:02

in trouble. Definitely you you're doing

40:04

ship like that, that's you're not that's not a normal

40:06

man. No, that's not normal. And and and I'm

40:08

not even gonna make a joke about a hundred and fifty

40:11

twelve year old in the car and other people

40:13

are driving. Yo. They said he backed up

40:16

on the on the parkway, Yo, like

40:18

they saw it, like it was a highway. He backed up.

40:20

This could have turned into a really really

40:23

and the police, the police pulled their

40:25

gun on him. Yeah, because he was reaching under

40:27

the sea. This is this could have been this

40:29

could have been really terrible. Yo.

40:32

This could have a season. Man, Yo, you're not playing

40:34

the season. Forget that. I heard

40:36

a coach saying, Todd Bowls,

40:39

this is the first day of training camp and he gotta

40:41

deal with Ship like this. This don't sucker ship

40:43

who said that? No, the coach,

40:45

I'm saying he gotta deal with this sucker ship, right,

40:48

he has to deal with the first day of camp,

40:50

and Money told him earlier. You know, I'm not gonna get

40:52

no trouble. I'm good. And this is an

40:54

All Pro player and this guy's like three pounds,

40:57

like this is a fucking big ass.

41:00

Put him on nice yo the season.

41:02

Yeah, you're out for the whole season. Take

41:04

a stand, take a stand and get him evaluated.

41:07

And you're caring about this motherfu,

41:10

there's no season man. Sorry,

41:13

Sorry, I don't. I don't want people in my

41:15

business, my corporation wilding

41:19

like this who could potentially harm

41:21

themselves and others. Sorry. Yeah,

41:23

he could have killed the whole family out.

41:26

Sorry, you want to be there four games

41:28

with this ship? Eight games? I

41:30

don't make the decision. You ask his doctors

41:33

that have nothing to do with the NFL. Should this

41:35

should? When? When should we even discuss

41:37

the making come playing? I

41:39

see I'm not calling him a sick fuck gene.

41:43

Oh I'm not calling him that, But

41:45

if I were doing that and running lights at

41:47

a hundred forty, I would say, you sick

41:50

funck you You give this guy a fucking little

41:53

a little cotton ball. Who Yeah,

41:55

I'm not going to compare him to the guy who fucked

41:57

the dog. He got the

42:00

funk of the week. I'm not going

42:02

to compare this guy. This guy's got problems,

42:04

the guy who the dog, he's

42:08

got problems, but he he I

42:10

don't have compassion for his problems. You're a sick

42:12

fuck. You see what I'm saying. You see the difference

42:15

being the sick funk of the week. You

42:17

have to earn that. That's not

42:20

given. That's like, we don't

42:22

do it every week. That's how that's how

42:24

important it is. It's not the top ten

42:26

plays in the night. We don't do that sick funk

42:28

of the week. Me. If you don't

42:30

warrant it, you don't get it. It's not a gimmick

42:33

we do. It's not

42:35

a wig of please. You know, it's

42:37

not a promotion if

42:40

you have to earn that. We

42:43

got a football man. What's up with your boy? Tom

42:46

Brady? He's suing the

42:49

league. He destroyed his phone.

42:51

Like we fucking said. We

42:53

said, we recap what we

42:56

said, get give to give the viewers. Give

42:58

the viewers the bullet points. This is the pass. Bring

43:00

it up to speed. We're just gonna listen

43:02

if you listen to the Iron Rapport, Poda, you don't

43:04

know what the fun Tom Brady was back. You fact

43:07

check, you find out go ahead, yo. We

43:10

said, why wouldn't you give

43:12

up the cell? Give up the phone?

43:15

If it exonerates you, just give it

43:17

up. And then I was on I was

43:19

on First Take this week a

43:21

few days ago with Jamal Hill

43:24

and she said I wouldn't give up my phone, and I said

43:26

I would. She said, you mean that if

43:28

they came. I said, if it meant my legacy, I

43:30

would say that would I would take give up the phone.

43:32

I would have it with a lawyer. I'd have everything

43:35

be you know, done, so they couldn't like there might be

43:37

private pictures. He might have had a loaf shot.

43:39

He's married to Giselle. He might have been like yo,

43:41

babe, look and had his loathout. She might

43:43

have sent him like like an ash, no disrespect.

43:46

But that's how should go. So but I would say, like,

43:48

yo, I want to be able to approve what so he

43:50

could take out his loaf the pictures. We

43:52

don't want to see you all at We don't want to see your

43:54

girl. That's what I was to you, your wife.

43:57

She naked on every cover. She's naked on every

43:59

cover ran And to be honest, she's beautiful in the face,

44:02

but tom Brady, she's she's

44:04

way Gizelle is way

44:06

too skinny for me. I

44:08

like, I don't even when I think of like famous people

44:11

that that that I think are attractive, Gizelle

44:13

isn't even coming to my mind, not to say that she's not beautiful.

44:16

But but it's not your taste. She's too thin.

44:18

But that's that model ship. But I'm not with that.

44:21

Hey, I'm with you, bro, I'm just

44:23

let you know so so so so tom

44:25

Brady, I'm saying, I don't care about WiFi

44:27

boo on the on the fucking the pictures.

44:30

I don't care about your loaf or any that freaky

44:32

ship you guys do, or any note here that we're

44:34

here to hear the text regarding them fucking

44:36

footballs my man, And if you don't

44:38

want to give him up, then you're a

44:40

guilty fucker. Yeah, Warren

44:43

Moon said, I highly

44:46

doubt the equipment

44:48

managers would just deflate a ball

44:51

without the quarterback knowing it,

44:53

right, like they're just doing it, like, Hey, we're gonna play

44:56

a joke on too like it's like a little joke between

44:58

that we want to funk with Tom Brady. War Moon

45:00

summed it up with that, it didn't

45:02

just happen Tom, the ball boys

45:05

nickname isn't the deflator. If that's

45:07

not his nickname because of his weight, you think

45:09

we're dumb. We're not dumb.

45:13

Who came up with that? That that that excuse

45:15

about the deflator being that was his nickname because

45:17

he lost weight. The Patriots, Fuck

45:19

you, man, you think we're stupid. We're

45:22

not fucking stupid. You guys

45:25

fucked with the balls, and yes you're a great team, and I

45:27

fucked with the I wanted you to beat I'm saying

45:29

this the last time I wanted the Patriots

45:31

to beat the Seahawks. I was so happy

45:33

when they when they won that game. I felt like the Seahawks.

45:36

Number one, they got lucky with that catch, that bobble

45:38

catch. Number two, they obviously fucked up

45:40

at the end. We all know what happened. I'm not bringing

45:42

I'm saying I wanted the Patriots. I funk

45:45

with Gronk. I

45:47

had Patriots on my fantasy team the year before.

45:51

I love watching Tom Brady. He's a master

45:54

at the game. Just like as much as I love busting

45:56

Lebron James balls, I love watching

45:58

him, I don't have to is root for him, but I

46:00

can appreciate them. So you people

46:02

to say that we're haters, fuck you doing.

46:05

We're not fucking hate him, Bill Burr, I

46:07

fucking love you man. We're not fucking

46:10

haters. But we're just like Larry Bird,

46:12

just like fucking Michael Jordan's

46:14

just like Kobe when I didn't root for him, just like

46:16

anybody on the opposing team. We're

46:18

not fucking with Tom Brady like that Dennis

46:21

Leary, Mark Wahlberg.

46:23

They think can't like

46:26

he can't do anything, he can't do

46:28

wrong, and he did funk with the balls, and yes,

46:30

probably other quarterbacks do do also, but

46:32

why didn't they get caught? It's not a conspiracy.

46:35

Do you think that it's good for the NFL to sit down

46:37

the most recognizable face in the world

46:40

for football football when it comes to football,

46:43

Tom Brady, he's the biggest faces

46:45

it, no doubt he deserves it, that's

46:48

right. He record, he's got the

46:50

grill, he's got the hair, he's

46:52

got gell, he's got the skinny model wife.

46:55

He said, we're not into He exemplifies

46:58

the the American way of quarterbacking.

47:01

Like when you think of like a poster boy of quarterbacks,

47:04

more than Eli, because Eli, your ship is

47:06

I mean more than Payton. This ship has smushed

47:08

Payton. Payton got a big head. You

47:10

got a big head. Your nose is fucked up. You your

47:13

grill as long as you can't

47:15

really talk, He's funny in the commercials.

47:18

He was on Saturday, How was he on Saturday Night? Great

47:21

on SATNA Live, Great on his commercials. Eli

47:23

has great commercials. Payton has great commercials.

47:26

But as far as in real life, you should

47:28

like they're they're they're like actually really, the reason why

47:30

they're such good actors is because there's nothing going

47:32

on in real life. So when they jump into the characters,

47:35

they're looking happy. They're fucking great. Greats
