The reasonable doubt in New York is a library. A reasonable doubt in New York is a lot. A reasonable doubt was recorded. It's available everywhere actually. It's going to sound like a weird take because obviously, yes, Jay-Z is from New York and a reasonable doubt was recorded here. But it's rare that we've had like events in everything in LA. It's going to sound like it's nice that like. Jay, is doing this in New York. Obviously he would. But in 2026, any cool activation pop-up like skips New York and it never used to. Yeah, I mean, well, this one is... Everything's in LA. The artist is from New York. The album was created in New York. It's a probably a staple in New York, hip-hop. And it's a 30-year anniversary. But I like that everything... You thought he was gonna do this in Malle? No, I thought he would do what maybe bigger artists do where they were, where they were, where they were, where they were, where they were, in New York, maybe they'll even show up. But the show is here. Probably not. And then they'll go to the LA one. Yeah, but the shows are here. I usually any other artist would do this at Hollywood Bowl. That's all I'm saying. Nah, I mean, well, of course, maybe yes. But because it's a New York. specific artist is. But I like that the pop-up. All three, I'm sure. I'm sure, of course there'll be something. But the, but the reasonable doubt. All. All. All. day as we're recording this. I'm glad that it's in Brooklyn, it's in the city like, yeah, it's just the trains. Yeah, it's all the maps are for New York. Like I just appreciate that because it's been so long since we've had that. It's just fun to watch man because like you said 30 years to see a lot of the people that are at the pop-up events that are maybe 34, 35. You know what I'm saying? I'm 35. Yeah, and it's like to see that is like to see that is like, it speaks, it speaks to just, it speaks to just, it speaks to just, it speaks to just. Christ. Well, yeah, I mean, fuck. The year's not out, so technically still 35. But, you know, it's just fun to see that because again, the album being 30 years old, a lot of the people that are at the events still in their 30s, who probably weren't old enough to really know what it was like when the album debuted. To see them just want to be a part of the album speaks to one, the music, speaks to the artist, it speaks to its place in hip hop. So it. So it's pretty. So it's pretty cool. So it's pretty cool. So it's pretty cool. you know enjoying the moment gearing up for the Yankee Stadium shows and things like that but it's like it also is like damn 30 years like shit yeah it also ages you too like when you think about 30 years it's like yeah that was pretty quick yeah but it's cool I mean I've just seen the videos of everyone at the one in the city today and in Brooklyn it's cool to see people outside and like buying hard copies yeah just seeing that type of stuff is refreshing that's all I like I like I like I like I'm He's doing a lot, but he's not doing too much. I think rapping the trains is super cool. Obviously the Yankee Stadium thing is Yankee Stadium thing, but just doing these merch pop-ups with like collector items stuff, like, I mean I went to the friends and family one yesterday. The merch is super quality. I guess it's just cool to get people outside to celebrate something we all love. I thought about buying the vinyl crate. What was the price point of it again? I said I don't know if I'm giving J 1500. all of J's music on vinyl's. That's fine. You know what I mean? $1,500 is a lot of money. I don't care who you are. $1,500 is a lot of money, but it's what, 13 albums? Thirteen albums. Thirteen albums. Four, 44 for the first time on vinyl. That price point kind of makes sense. Like, I saw people like, oh, it's plastic. I get it, but it's a Well it's supposed to be a crate like yeah like a DJ yeah I mean I hear you yeah but they could have gave me a little more in the crate though come on Lenny you could have gave us a little more in the crate like does the crate play me like is the is the plate crate a player too no that's where you hold the vinyl's at like a DJ djay holds us his vinyl's taking to the crate I still I have crates I still I have crates it doesn't look it from key food it got some cool aesthetic to it but that was the one I almost pulled the trigger on the fifteen hundred dollar crate I was like you know what this is some cool shit that kind of I still might though yeah I don't know that's kind of fire I just wish the crate also like doubled as a player then it would be worth the fifteen hundred to be I have almost every vinyl I could just go get a crate for you spray paint it more yeah but you can't get the jay see Jay got a sign all the vinyl for me though. I'll pay the 1500 but Jay got a sign every vinyl. Yeah if we could set that up where we would have a quick moment for him to sign those I'll pay the 1500. Yeah he got a sign every vinyl. I'll pay it. Quick about signing 13 vinyls for both of y'all that's 26 vinyls. It'd be it'd take longer for them to just charge my credit card if I go and buy in that $1,500.00.00. So that it's a fine. So that it's in the crib as a collective edition you know it's a collectus piece yeah but uh but yeah I went to the the I guess like launch of the pop-up because the pop-ups are today but I went to the one yesterday and I really enjoyed it I mean I guess it was it was also great to see like familiar faces but we were all just talking about reasonable doubt because I was a little nervous it was gonna be one of those launched like it'll be 30 publicist drinking free dus say do I really want to do I really want to d'l so guru gurus gurus d' jay about music and he was on the mic telling people to go vote he did he did do that yes of course he did you see where he was he was invited in a group chat we were invited to get it he was invited in a group chat we were invited to get it's he didn't want to be a mad bullshit though when mall and I were invited I didn't want to be the guy to then say hey can I also get an extra pass I didn't want to be that guy I didn't want to be that guy I didn't want to like I'm the problem if you was a bitch he was fucking I'd have been out of that shit you'd have been in there you got to give up a little bit of home it's gotta give some hole that's all whole whole to go to go to go to go to the reasonable down to go purchase merch yeah it wasn't like well actually they gave us one free two shirt but not even not even the yankie stadium out there as well. It's cool. I suggest, I think it's till what July something? I'm not. It's open for a little bit. So it's leading up to the shows. Yeah, if you're in, if you're in, if you're in New York or in the area, I suggest going to the one in the city or the one in Dumbo. Oh no, it's only today. And it's more. The 25th to the 26th. Oh, it's July 5th. Yeah. Yeah. Why'd you flake. I was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Talk to him like an hour ago. He got a flat tired. Oh yeah. But you have a quote. Better than the FDR. I'd rather, I'd rather, I'd rather catch a flat on the West Side Highway than that. Because the scenery? There's no like the FDR shoulders is like this big. That's. West Side Highway at least there's like kind of the park area. Yeah, but I wasn't near the shoulder. He was by, I was by, I was right passing, as soon as soon as you pass Riverbank. Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, shoulder you can walk to the shoulder if you want but I was just like yeah man that was just the worst night and then I was really mad because after we found out Jay didn't perform that was the only reason I was going yeah I was told that from somebody at rock Nation I'm like I'm gonna go on a fucking merch pop up and hoven he was performing like called a flat I was there but I don't give a fuck a tune a tune to get the intimate hoof performance. You thought he was going to perform next to guru? Then I waited in line, it was even though it's friends and family, the line to go buy merch was insane to the point that I ended up saying I'll get it online. Yeah, and took my free t-shirt and was out after. Yeah, I wasn't waiting that long as line. So Marissa Mendez. How's Marissa doing. She's doing good. She said to hit her up? Yeah, she told me to hit her up. Yes, what you mean, hits you up? Marissa, I didn't know if she hated me. Marissa, I'm not hitting you up. Fuck you. Oh my God. No, me and Marissa, we had a... I fuck Marti, that's my nigi, man. Yeah, I know you're joking. I know you're joking, but I don't think the listeners know that you're joking. No, no, no, my mottie is my people that. No, she's not. No, she. We'll. We'll know, she's. No, she's. No, she's. No, she's. No, she's. We're gonna' she's. So, I'm gonna' She's, I'm gonna' She's, I'm gonna' She's, I'm gonna' She'll, I'm gonna' She'll, I'm gonna' She'll, I'm gonna' She'll, I'm gonna' She'll, I'm gonna' She'll, I'm gonna' She'll, all of the things, Mahdi, we'll do all of the things. All of the... We'll collab on a post, let the people know that we're friends. Yeah, but that was my favorite person to see. That was the most surprising person. It was the usual faces there, but I saw my mom, I was like, oh shit, Mardi's here. I'm glad she's back in New York, man. That's good to know that she's back in the city. I think her going to L. She was in the L. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. it made sense but yeah I think I think a lot of people that moved to LA at that time are now moving back yeah that time is passed that's dope man good to hear we got Nandos and reasonable doubt like why wouldn't you and Mottie mottie mottie nandos is here mottie nandos is here mottie feel like it's back I told deus he saved my life at a wollay show that was gay but it's okay oh yeah they said groupie like that's what Sean said. I'm about say that. No they didn't say Sean said you can say Sean. Sean Dickerson said that. But you know when one person said something is they they all said it. They said that they said. Somebody reposted it. Yeah you know. Reposted I posted it. I reposted it. Shans? Yeah. Oh you saw what Sean posted it. Yeah. He tagged me. I just I just aired you said, don't. You want to pull that up. Just to make them all uncomfortable. What's all uncomfortable. What? What? What? What? What? What? saying that's a juice wait till you get the visual. Oh the hold the hand dapped have a conversation with the pit oh not a conversation I'm just smiling in his face like like a proud mom that is so nasty right that's doose was at the wale show and okay where was the wale show at Brooklyn paramount okay which is a amazing thing why did they start booing that's no deuce dose Okay, making shit, make sense. You think that a New York neighbor would get through the New York right now? I was confused. I thought they were like booing Rory in the back. Like I didn't know why they were booing him. Rory was, he wasn't on this stand. And by the way, thank you for thinking I would be that important that people at a Wiley show would kind to see me in the back and all start booing. I had no idea but dews. Okay, but do this make sense. one side of the stage to the other to say hello to Zeus. I will admit I did do that. Granted, my Better Help therapist was there as well. She's working on the tour. And she said she was on that side of the stage. Okay. So I said, where are you at? So I used that as an excuse. Ah, got it. To go to that side. Got you. And then me and Kaz, both as we were walking, saying, hey, we're walking over to say hello to Zeus. And then, he's a champion, he's a champion, you should, he's a like the finals did not just happen. I would have never done that. If it was after the cup, if it was after the cup, you did all of that. After the cup. That's disgusting. But after the after they got the Larry O'Brien, it's okay to go over and say what's up to doose. If this was the NBA cup. Yeah, that would have been nasty. But it's like, the duke. That duke, that duke was there. But it's like, somebody on Wale's team showed me a text that I was like I don't know if I can. Jaylon Brunson? Yeah, okay. But only dudes showed up. Okay. But the Wiley show was great. I don't have you guys have been seeing like the footage. He's been hacking out these shows. Yeah, I was man. I would have went to that show. Yeah, I would have went to that show. I would have went to that show I enjoyed Wiley sets man. So I wouldn't even know he was in I knew. I saw it. I saw it was a new night to my feet. I'm not to. I'm thinking. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it. I saw it was. I saw it was. I saw it was. I saw it was. I saw it was a 5,000 people, that was crazy. That's what I'm saying, like I saw that, I was like, damn, that was crazy. He is packing out these shows. That's dope, man. Shao Dao. What's on tour? A'Smeido and. Smino opened, yeah. Smino's on tour, I'm going to go, I'm going to go on. I'm not sure if it's certain dates, so don't quote me, but Smino. Sama was up. Siboupea was there, and, and, like, like, like, like, like, like, sama says, sama was a sama says, sama was a sama was a sama was a sama was a sama says, sama was a sama was a sama was a sama was a sama's a samaa. Samaa. Samaa. Samaa. Samaa. Samaa. Samaa. Samaa. Sama if it's because maybe wale fans are around my age. But they just didn't have as much movement as I've seen in the past. The movement is so. The crowd? Yeah. Hmm. They don't seem to be into the set. They were into like an NBA young boy show. I don't know. They just was maybe it's because it was so packed. There just wasn't a lot of movement. What kind of movement did you want, did you want twerkin't. You wanted it to look like an NBA young boy show? Somewhere in the middle of that, yeah. Yeah, yeah. has when no hands comes on yeah I want to see movement yeah but everything that's because at Palusa y'all turned that into a thing no that song was the thing before Palusia yeah but I mean y'all turn it into moving and going crazy when it came to a concert I'm not saying a mosh pit per se but I don't know one the mosh pit at a while they show is hilarious why they don't have mosh pit me Okay, okay, what? Shorty got a big old but oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. I don't think he did. I will say though what I thought was was really cool about the show was the new album records got the best reaction, which typically does not happen at this point in someone's career because Wiley's been doing this for 15 years. That means he's getting new fans. Like, the new records got crazy reaction. Where of course his hits did his hits, but they wanted to hear the new shit. He's. He's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's good. So I was happy to see that but yeah I was outside the past two days guys I see I see moving around getting your tan on Yeah You do look a little I want to say brown but yellow red It's see it's a red tint. It's never a brown tint. Yeah Yeah Yeah, it's more like strawberry custard Yeah, I know What's funny is I really haven't been in the sun? I know you're never just in the sun all you? Yeah, all you're? Yeah, I guess? Yeah, I guess so as soon as soon as soon as soon as you go outside you go outside you go outside you go outside you go outside you go outside you go outside you? to start and come back a little bit. But it's a lot going on. It's summer time in New York, you know, it's that time of year. I gotta pace myself though. When I get two out of my, these past two days kind of, like, yeah, you do it, just like a second cup of coffee. I know, slow down. Yeah, I'm just, slow down. Yeah, I'm just tired. I'm just getting. 36 has been the first time I'm just time I'm just, like an actual physical change in my body. a 36. 36. 35 I didn't feel a little. Yeah. This is the first time I feel a complete shift in my body after a birthday. Yeah. Like this is a matter of time you gotta start stretching. Mm-hmm in the morning. Yeah. Gotta start stretching because you don't want to go to put on the sock and be out of commission for a week throw you back up putting on the sock. I've been doing the track outside. I've been doing the track outside. I've been doing the track outside. I think. I'm doing it's I don't get excited for it. Like, running in place. Yeah. When you're outside, you kind of feel like you're moving. Yeah. Fresh air, son, it helps, but Peach can't stay his ass at home boy. Peach, where you been, you been outside? But Peach got the Mickey Mantle gene where he'll go outside, but he'll hit the gym 7 a.m. Yeah. Yeah, Pege has been locked in. Yeah, Pege's been locked in right. He's doing a. He's. He's. He's doing a bagel cleanse. He's on a bagel fast. You don't know the bagel fast, demerit? Yeah. Two bagels every morning. Well, that's his juice cleans. Yeah. Every single day, he's in there. We get a. Veget, veg cream cheese, bagel. Come on, man. Peach hit me up yesterday. He just sent me a picture of a margarita. That's a badger. You know. I'm tired of this 30 day reset you keep throwing no you not for real. I'm for real. Ma listen this time it's not because of health it's not because I need to stop drunk calling it calling it drunk calling it. No. Well that's the best time of year when they start calling you fat bitch again. No I'm cool bro I'm 30 days I need to stop with the Knicks like I was so every other day the Knicks you was drunk every other day I was so ready for the finals to end like. Yeah, for 30 days. So I love that you think that the podcast fans have a rational thoughts that no matter what your appearance is they're gonna say negative things. Yeah, but I don't want to agree with them. Like I don't know. Okay, all right. Yeah, I don't want them niggas to have a point. They can call me that but knowing it's not true. Yeah, I'm cool. I gain five pounds and since March. Okay, so kind to look out for 30 days. Pease. I'm trying to hang with me on June with me on June. supposed to hang with the white on Juneteenth and let them pay for everything. You know what I wasn't even reparation. I wasn't even. Yeah what you know and baby D I was tripping and he can do what they do with the protest where they all like got down and bowed for like yeah you gotta get you should do that with the Kente cloth yeah that's what he's just trying to do. That was such a sick time. That was such a sick time. That Kente cloth on one knee. In history they won't believe that that happened. They're gonna think that that's AI. Of course. Like in the future they're gonna think that's AI. They can be like there's no way that this was real. That did absolutely nothing for us. With a mask half mown. I did nothing for us. Yo. Sick times. You didn't feel empowered? No, I actually turned the channel, went back to watch whatever the fuck I was watching. No, I'm just happy to the people that actually have the power to change things. Yeah. Yeah. You. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're. You're going to Like we don't give a fuck about it. Get off your fucking knee and get back to work. I pulled up on Nancy Pelosi Street right now. She's calling the police. Right now. Just out the street. 100%. I'm just looking, I'm a loss. 100% for somebody else's house and I just drop-ass Nancy Pelosi's yard. She's calling the police without it up. That shit. But you know, Kente, Kinte scarf and one knee, and Chuck Schumer has on the mask and mask and he's, Six times we're living there man, sick fucking time. Well can y'all explain to me what's going on with the NBA right now? NBA for girls. I don't know. I missed that time. Yeah, draft season. Shout out to all the new NBA players that have been drafted. Shout out to AJ de Banser, who went number one, Peach. Yes, start Dan Peterson from Kansas. I told him that. EYU. Yves, I don't know if that does anything for the heat, but. I was gonna ask you that, like, like, great. Is this going to change anything for the heat? Well, yeah, it will. I mean, anytime you can get yonish, you get yonish, no matter what. But I just don't know if that's a nut. Now, they will be one of the teams that the defendant champ, New York Knicks would have to get through in the east. But I just don't know, man. I don't know if that brand of basketball that they have now, what they have, and athleticism but I just don't know if they have enough shooters. Yeah. I'm not saying they can't eventually get there I just don't think they're gonna be fun to watch it's gonna be tough next season is gonna be they'll be alright yeah no they're gonna be real good. Listen man yonus is still a very very high-caliber player high-caliber talent so you know the heat have definitely you know loaded up their roster. I mean you putting him next to bam and you know Andrew Wiggins. They got a good team. I like the young Garus King Mitchell Deviant Mitchell, I like Deviant Mitchell. Norman Powell, right? Norm Powers down there. I like the heat, they got a good team, but I just don't know if that's enough. But you know, as a, once Janus went, that's the domino effect, now other teams have to make a moves. Lamello ball went to Minnesota. I don't know if that's enough out of Minnesota for him and Aunt Ed was to get out of the West, but I'm novice with NBA knowledge compared to media to media knowledge compared to media. personalities. Very now, so I admit that. This to me though looks like one of the dumbest trades I've seen in Quaislemello. I like Lamello. I think Lamello is amazing. I don't think anyone needs to confirm that. But what the fuck is Minnesota doing? They got rid of both their bigs in two days. Yeah. They got fleeced. Who did they get rid of that. Charlotte got the best end of that deal? Like by far. They're going to be eaten off this deal for years. They got a bunch of A shit ton of picks. Yeah, I mean I... LeMello wasn't working out, LeMello can't stay healthy. Yeah. Like, what is Minnesota doing? If you kept Julius, I could see this making some sense. Yeah. Some sense. But this is not as I was watching ESPAN this morning. Looks like the Timberwolves are trying to win now. When, when now? I'm gonna be real. I don't know when Anthony Edwards contracted Minnesota's up. I don't, I don't, I don't, in a long-term extension when it's up though. I don't see him staying in Minnesota after this. And maybe they're gonna make more moves because I think this this gets executed in July. 2029 so you got three years left? Yeah I don't I don't think he'll... They just have to bring in some big... I just don't know if Aunt and Lamello just get it done. No, no that's not. I just don't. I just don't... I just don't... Who... who plays to look very different. It started the season. A lot of pieces are moving around. So yeah, we just have to see where everybody lands. But you know, it started. Yeah. Once the one's honest was gone, everybody else has to make moves after that. So that's the state of the NBA right now. But again, congrats to all of the new class of 2026. And to see what Darren Peterson's gonna do. I like Darren Peterson's game, but I told Pete, A.J. Devancer was the number one draft pick, and he was. He was. Shout out to the Wizards. Shout out to the Wizards. Yeah, Wally did the voiceover for his shoe, like backstage. Oh, yeah. For the, I don't know if the trailer came out yet, but yeah. Oh, and he was at the Barclays, like, the odds of like who was, who was, the Wizards's most likely, NBA finals for the sports betting books and things like that. They have the line out already? And obviously Miami went up because of the trade. So they have Oklahoma City Thunder as number one, San Antonio Spurs, Celtics, Knicks, and then the Heat. Were the Pacers like an anomaly that year that they? They just had a lot of injuries after still is shaky. That's why. Oh no, I fucking hate the Pacers, so I don't ever want to see players get injured, but I'm not upset. You're not a pace is a you know they're a great team but yeah they just they had some unfortunate injuries and it's been tough for them to get back. But I'm not that odds make sense I mean even though we just want I still think if you're looking on paper the Celtics are still the Celtics so that that makes sense. The Bucks turning down that Jaylin Brown was crazy I couldn't believe they did that. How you think Jaylin Brown feels they've been trying to shift him away for three season and every Imagine trying to break up with your girl three times and then you still have to live together because it just didn't work out. But you know what it is. And now she knows that you've been trying to break over there for three years in a row. But you know what it is. Like, they, other teams are just, they look at Jaylan like he could be a headache because he's very outspoken, he's very outspoken, hell of a player, but he's just, you know, he brings a different tone. And a lot of teams, you know, they like to stay away from players like that. Well, I have to say shut up and dribble, but that that is essentially what teams prefer.
