3eezy Bih: the end of purpose, anyways.

2: new.

Phone Home: How is he in the perfect situation when like literally like they got rid of all the pieces that made them great. This nigga been averaging 25 points for the last 11 years. I understand he get paid, but it's like to me, he kinda going that mellow route bro.

3eezy Bih: No, that's so that no, no, no, that's what I'm about to say. My bad too. He not doing the Mellow route. Actually he's doing better than the Mellow route. Cause I believe that Mellow would have stayed in Denver and never won the championship. I believe although he's very well respected, I think it would have been more of, you know, he stayed down with the Nuggets. Like I only see you in one jersey. And D-Book is realizing, I ain't saying D-Book himself realized, but.

2: He going like the loyal route that we trained, I think.

3eezy Bih: You do come to a realization that I'm not a 1A. You're not a 1A. You're not, mean, is he Kevin Durant? Is he LeBron James? Is he Kobe Bryant? Is he that type of player? So wherever he go to get a champion.

Phone Home: Wait, wait, what? Niggas, those are not 1A players. What are you talking about, bro? Those are not 1A players. Those niggas are the greatest players of all fucking time. What are you talking about, bro?

2: Yeah, ever.

3eezy Bih: Ranks! That's a 1A to me. What are you talking about? That's what saying. Wherever he go, he gonna be a 1B. That's what I'm saying. I'm saying wherever, if he gonna try to win a championship, he gonna have to join a 1A. A great, I mean, who else he gonna win it with? Where? He gonna win it with, he had Chris Paul. Chris Paul make every team, other team great. I'm not saying he can't win one, but I'm saying it would be well, more respected if he go. If he don't win in Phoenix, but then go win somewhere with somebody like, like you said, a LeBron or something, he gonna be, cause he gonna be a one B. I'm saying that's what I'm saying.

Phone Home: Nigga, I didn't say that. You said that. You said that.

2: I think I think I think it's a lot of things that could benefit from book. I think he could fit any culture, you know, I mean

3eezy Bih: as the number one.

2: Could he win? It depends. But you know, but I think nowadays it ain't really, the teams be stacked. So he could be the best one.

3eezy Bih: That's what I'm saying, is it number one? Who do you think he is?

Phone Home: No,

2: 1A or 1B in the league? I think he's a 1A. Yeah, I think he could win the championship. That playoff round was spectacular when they went. I mean, think that when they lost, what, 4-1? What's that?

3eezy Bih: And it's on the championship.

Phone Home: Hey, to offset what this nigga just said, do you know Book is a lifetime 28.8 points per game score in the playoffs?

Eric: Hmm.

2: That's what I'm saying. He done.

Phone Home: What the is talking about man?

3eezy Bih: Damn, Lilla did decide to do such shit like that, bro. What are you talking

Phone Home: NIGGA HE'S A 1A! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

3eezy Bih: No, you're not, you're not, you see, that's what I'm saying. You're not listening. I say a 1A on a championship team. Kyrie Irwin is a 1A type of player, but he's going to win a championship. He gonna fall, have to be a B. That's what I'm saying. See, D-Book proved it in the Olympics. Like, no, nigga, y'all boy go ahead, I'm shooting. Like, come on, bro. That's the same thing Jason Tatum couldn't realize. Like, shit, LeBron Hill.

Phone Home: Man, him and Theta Man in the same conversation, bro. That nigga 1B. That's a 1B. That's a 1B. That's a 1B. That's a 1B. That's a 1B right there.

3eezy Bih: Hey, get the fuck outta here, man. Get the fuck outta here, You got this. You got this. This nigga coming back from Achilles' ball. Man, get the fuck outta here, man. You hear this shit, too? You see why I can't hear this? Cliff, what?

2: Yeah

Phone Home: That's a 1B. Air, nigga, I bet you won't clip that. I bet you won't clip that. Nigga, Jason Tatum is a 1 fucking B.

2: Hehehe.

3eezy Bih: Nigga, do you see that nigga resume?

Phone Home: One B?

3eezy Bih: Nigga, nigga, 1-8, nigga, what the fuck are you talkin' about?

Eric: I'm a casual basketball NBA watcher, but I can tell you bro, Jason Tatum is one of them dudes. I hear so much hype about him, but when I watch him, especially in the playoffs, and again, this is just me casually watching, he don't do it for me, bro. Like, for me, just don't. Maybe it's his game, it's too quiet. It ain't dominant enough. I don't know what it is for me, but I just, don't like his style.

Phone Home: That's the nigga hairline, You too pretty, bro. That's what it is, bro. He ain't gutter. He ain't gutter, no.

Eric: Hehehehehe

2: It's the nigga hairline,

Phone Home: you

3eezy Bih: JT my favorite player between him and and that nigga all the niggas JT? You already knew that? Man I be arguing with this nigga 25-8 by JT

2: You say that's your favorite player in the league? Yeah. I ain't no that.

Eric: I didn't either.

Phone Home: That don't mean a nigga your favorite player. I argue about lunch, so that don't mean my favorite player.

3eezy Bih: Nigga, you still ain't told me you you right about that shit yet, but it is what it is.

Phone Home: Cause it wasn't about Lonzo, nigga it's about Tatum. That nigga trash. You just had a casual fit to tell you that.

3eezy Bih: A casual fan don't know his resume. Hey, hey, hey, the nigga been to the conference. Matter fact, let's look up this nigga's resume.

Phone Home: whole group makes me feel the same way. No, bro, we're not gonna talk about no conference finals, bro Like do you do you know how crazy that is for that to be a stat to like we're talking about the greatest of all time It's talking about niggas who compare they self to Kobe and this nigga want to pull out Eastern Conference finals in the weakest the weakest division Do we let LeBron use that as a stat? Do we let LeBron use Eastern Conference finals as a stat?

3eezy Bih: Well, he got ten years to!

2: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: No, ⁓

2: Yeah, I was. It's nice. Yeah. No, I know I don't.

3eezy Bih: No, no, no, no, too. Don't let, don't let Smoove do that on this fucking podcast. You know why I'm bringing up Eastern Conference Finals. We were talking about how he accomplished that shit when he was younger. It's not like I'm using it saying like, my God, you know, he been there so many times after he retired. ⁓ were talking about when me and you were arguing, we were talking about how far he even got at the age that he was. Like, come on, bro, don't do that. Add context to it. Add context. Be a bit casual so he don't understand what we were talking about.

Eric: Mmm.

Phone Home: Nigga, the context is, it don't matter.

3eezy Bih: Like what are we talking about, bro? Like, on, bro. hey, bro, this nigga was balling in his room. How is that not fair?

2: That's kind of fair, that's fair. I'd take that.

Phone Home: It's not fair to who? It's not to, it's not to? Cause when a nigga was going to the Eastern Conference Finals, who the fuck was going?

3eezy Bih: Use it.

2: Okay, bruh.

Phone Home: What are we talking about? What the fuck are you, man?

3eezy Bih: Nigga, bro, the dirt grungy player to ever touch the basketball court. What are we talking about?

2: We can agree on that one. He's the third best, yeah, for sure.

3eezy Bih: I mean, some people are number one. I mean, come on, bro.

Eric: I don't know about that one though.

Phone Home: Man, both know the Eastern Conference is nothing, bro. You are a Lakers fan, bro. We know that the toughest road to the final always goes through the West. So now that your quote unquote favorite player is Jason Tatum now, now we wanna brag on how like, man, he been to Eastern Conference. he lost to the Heat like two or three times and that was an eight seed. What are we talking about, bro?

Eric: Alright.

3eezy Bih: No, that's okay. Wally Brown only got four. Wally Brown only got four. Y'all in this dead town. Y'all in this dead town. What are you talking about?

Phone Home: Nigga, we not talking about Yannis, we talking about your ⁓ boy. Yannis ain't a great demeanor, like that. We talking about a nigga who compare himself to Kobe Bryant, bro. They try to compare book to Kobe. They try to pair Tatum to Kobe and there's one more nigga that they try to compare to Kobe.

3eezy Bih: Nigga, we talking about one of the greats. We talking about one of the greats. So what we talking about? Nigga's lose. why I love it. They were saying that too. Bro, don't understand. I don't understand what's your point. I don't understand what the point is.

2: Kari. Well they ain't comparing to COVID, just say he came from your school.

Phone Home: Man, all I'm saying, well, I don't even know how we got on this. ⁓ my book. My book. Nah, you was hating on book. You was hating on book. Man, Colin D. Colin D. Booker, one B is crazy, bro. Colin, nigga, Colin, a nigga who scored, has scored 25 points per game his whole career. Only in year 11, it averaged 28 points per game in the playoffs, a one B?

3eezy Bih: You hate as usual, homie nigga. I'm not hating on books. I like these books. But I mean, you asked me. He's a one b- What'd you rank B book? Top what player in the NBA?

Phone Home: D book to me. think Okay, prior to yet prior to this year prior to this year. I would say D book was between Six and eight, but I think this year to me. I would probably put them closer to like 10 to 12 but My bro, no the fuck is not bro. It's 32 teams in the league. What are you talking about? What are we talking about?

3eezy Bih: Because if you ain't five, you'll be down. That's a B, no.

Eric: Hmm.

2: Thanks.

3eezy Bih: No, bro. Five, you're an elite. You're an elite player. You top five, that's first team all NBA. No, listen to me. I'm saying based on my standards, based on my standards, because everybody try to make everybody elite. It got to be a class. So what I'm saying is those first five people, that's who getting in the club. When they come in the club, you're in the club.

Phone Home: NIGGA! Elite does not mean you're not 1A! That's two different categories, dude.

3eezy Bih: five you got to show you the nice. Okay. Yeah, we focus but I let me let me see some ID Is levels to this shit? I'm not saying deep book not good. He a top ten player. ⁓ yeah top ten player But he's not one or one a is no matter what you're not getting traded LeBron not getting traded Look ⁓ Durant not getting trade only don't turn You've been to trade talk Yeah, you would trade ⁓

Phone Home: But how does that not make you a 1A if it's 30 % in the league? Is Brooke, is Brooke getting traded? Is Brooke getting traded? Has he been trading in 11 years?

3eezy Bih: No, I'm, bro, you, you trying to, all right, bro, make sense of what you saying. All right, cool. I understand he ain't never been traded. What I'm saying is you won't ever be traded unless you're demand a trade. The book won't be traded probably now because of his history with these sons. But if somebody said today, hey, Luca is available, do y'all want, you don't think they'll trade him for Luca? You don't think they'll trade him for Luca?

2: I just was by the city. You kind of your point though, Dick. I am here, out of there.

3eezy Bih: That's what I'm saying. Ain't nobody trading nobody for Luca other than the conspiracy shit that just happened. Come on, bro. Like that's a one-off. That don't happen. That's why, that's why us that didn't even go crazy about the NBA until that night we're calling each other like, what the fuck? That don't happen. And then that's the first thing I believe in conspiracy because shit, Luca to LA. how that happened. And I ain't no conspiracy nigger, but if somebody that was a conspiracy nigger, that's like, here, here go your evidence. So I'm just like, Hey, I don't like conspiracy, but that dare make you be like, Oh, this nigger got a point. Bro. It's only about five people that don't get traded. And I consider them five. I consider them one age. Shay not going nowhere now. Shay now not going nowhere. Kawhi at one point was not going nowhere on his own. It had to be on their own terms.

2: Thank I give you credit because you always say you don't like conspiracies. I get it. But I don't think.

3eezy Bih: D-Book can easily be traded. it said, it it, that, that, that, that can't, damn, that nigga got me spinning. That came to fruition, that showed on the, oh shit, damn, Paul. It came to fruition, we seen the shit where that nigga was one fucking D on the fucking Olympics with old ass niggas like Steph LeBron and KD.

2: Easily nah, come on now

Phone Home: That is such a horrible fucking point

3eezy Bih: How that a horrible thing to do with that nigga? Then he would have been that nigga. What are we talking about? No, he was not that nigga. It was proven.

Phone Home: So Jason Tatum not that nigga then? No, no, no, no, no, on, hold on. Nigga, we not talking about in the fucking Olympics. Is Jason Tatum that nigga or not?

3eezy Bih: Hey, that nigga. What you talking about, in the league? No, nigga, I didn't. Okay, you right, you right. You not understand what I'm saying. You not understand what I'm saying. No, two ain't gotta say shit. I'm about to say this shit.

Phone Home: Okay, so here 1A. Two, two you, you, you, you, you, you, you, nah, nah, two be the mediator, two do what you gotta do, bro. Say something, help me figure out.

2: You heard your point. think you, and mind you, I think you have a point, but you heard yourself these points that you got. Because bro, because you saying if you wasn't a nigga on Olympics, you're not part of the elite club of being 1A. Ant wasn't really 1A. A lot of niggas wasn't 1A.

3eezy Bih: No, no. Okay, what I'm saying, the difference between Jason Tatum and Dee Book, the reason Jason Tatum, they were talking about he got treated unfairly. He was damn near the finals MVP in everything. So I don't consider, I consider that as unfair treatment because he didn't even get no burn through a couple of games. And Jaylen Brown did make it. So I felt like that was something totally different from what Dee Book's situation was. Yes, I think that was totally different, just like Jaylen Brown.

2: You know what I'm I did. You thought it was personal?

3eezy Bih: Jaylen Brown didn't make it over with Devin White. Come on, bro. So I consider that selfish stuff as a whole different thing. Me personally consider that as different. So I don't really fuck with it. I don't know what happened with Jason Tatum, Kerr, and all them niggas that happened there. Because ain't no way somebody of Jason Tatum's caliber don't get burned. So, but now I'm telling you, out of the starters, D-Book deferred.

2: did right here. I'd fuck if I were that.

3eezy Bih: and became Clay Thompson, D in three. That's what I'm telling you. He was an actual starter and decided to backseat, which showed me that, nigga, you got LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Joe Rillam-B. Well, you two can actually, you're not, you're not, you're What do you mean? What I'm talking about? I'm telling you.

Phone Home: Right, right, keep going.

2: Come on, bro.

Phone Home: What is he talking about?

2: I mean, he went to that situation doing that, you know what I'm saying? He's a guy from the coast, know. What book say? I'll do it.

Phone Home: He said, got LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, and he took a backseat to the East, nigga!

3eezy Bih: ⁓ Is he on a, that's what I'm trying to tell you. Is he, I consider them one A's like on a championship team, them the niggas that you gonna defer to. If them niggas is on Kevin, if it was on a regular NBA team and D-Book was on either one of their squads, he would be the B. That's my point. He would be the B. D-Book was the number one they gave him a B.

2: Sorry, how you feel about Steph though? How you feel about stuff?

Phone Home: I think Dink just standing on a plane and he can't, he can't back down. He won't back.

3eezy Bih: No, it ain't no back it down. I'm giving you my point. The nigga is, he's a 1B on the championship team. On where he's at, he's a 1A.

Eric: What does that mean? Explain that to me. What does that, what does 1B mean?

3eezy Bih: One beat me in basketball. So Kyrie Irving was, so you can have like, let's make a football reference, right? So you can have two top-notch ride receivers. Like you had Mike Evans and you had Ibuka for Tampa Bay. Both of them niggas good as fuck, but one nigga gonna be, hey, yeah, you good, but I'm ⁓ W.R.1.

Eric: Bay. Okay, what about CD Lamb and Pickens? Is that like?

3eezy Bih: you would say that you would, some would say CD Lamb. See what I'm saying? But, both of them got the, you know what saying? So that, that's basically what ⁓ a 1A1B is. Like a lot of people think T. Higgins can go off somewhere else, but he wouldn't be good as if he stayed with Jamar Chase. So that's what I'm saying with the book.

Eric: Okay. ⁓ Okay. Okay, like Kyrie or LeBron? Okay, so.

2: But I don't think that's the same situation, bro. Because I think this, I think that'll be more so like, oh, LSU when it was Jamar and Jetson. You know what I'm saying? The 1A1B is kind of, man, and to be honest, I don't think Carey was a 1B. He was two.

Phone Home: Two. Two, man.

3eezy Bih: How's it look like? Okay, Cordell, Cordell, Payton, Cordell, Payton, and Jeremiah Love. Not Jeremiah Love, what's the nigga name? Jeremiah what? What's his name? For Ohio State.

Phone Home: It's not the same either. It's not the same either. It's not.

2: You know what I'm I think like KD and Steph was 1A, 1B, but I Kyrie and Braun, that was like one and two. I don't think it was 1A, 1B type situation, but I think, I don't think Booker would be in a situation where he'll be clear too, unless you put him on a team with KD, Braun. Know what I'm saying? That makes sense. Like bro, you're out here hooping with KD. Of course you're the second man up.

3eezy Bih: Thank So we say the same thing. ⁓ So D-Book wouldn't be the number two option if he were playing with LeBron in there. With somebody other than Nate. If he went to Golden State right now, where do think he'll be? Will he be the first or second option? With a prime still.

2: second but i'm saying yeah second but i think if you put them with ⁓

3eezy Bih: If Steph went to Phoenix, who would be the number one option?

2: So I think if you put them with, but it's like a lot of, how many 1A's do you think are in league then?

3eezy Bih: Why am I not confused? Probably like five to six, maybe six. Like undeniable, I ain't getting traded unless I do something either stupid wrong or I want to get traded. Like I'm untouchable. LeBron James is a, in this prime was a 1A. Like you would never hear trade talks about LeBron. Never, cause that ain't gonna happen. You would hear probably like some, some colonists or something like that, but nothing that had concrete sources about this nigga saying the organization about the trading. you might have scenarios.

2: Well from your POV I can I can roll with you I can roll with what you saying from your scenario but I think once you do that you eliminate 80 95 what's it 90 of the field ain't nobody really wanting

3eezy Bih: I'm funny. I'm funny. It's only a few one eight.

2: But I'm saying, I think we was kind of like, you got your anomalies, but it's the guys, the top 15 or 1A's, you know what mean? You know what saying? But the super elite, the anomalies, I think it's a difference that 1A, you know what mean?

3eezy Bih: ⁓ pause, pause, pause. What's it The great player? ⁓ a double mention, but will he be touched? Could he get, could he get up out of there?

2: Your sounds get who you talking about.

3eezy Bih: I was saying pause, like an initial pause, because I was about to say, is Donovan Mitchell touching?

Phone Home: Donovan Mitchell is a 1A player though.

2: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: Is he touchable? Can he get up out of there?

Phone Home: I you making your own definition, bro. like, yeah, but, but, but, but, yeah, but, but, but, but, but, but, we can't, but we can't, we can't argue with your POV though. But when you talk about one, what the, the substantial would agree that these are one a players, you would group these players into that, that category. But if that's your definition, see what we arguing about. Cause that's.

3eezy Bih: I told you that from the get go. I told you that from the get go though. I already said my presence. That's what I'm saying. You only got a few people that I can set up one day.

2: I for say they'll trade them for say yeah

3eezy Bih: But that's where I made my stance from the get go though. I've been rated. Yes I did. Yeah I told you. No I said it earlier. I said it's only about five guys that's untouchable. I consider them 5A. I mean I consider them 1A's. You're a 1A on your team. So the argument was can your boy win a championship with his son? I said I don't think so unless he go join a 1A type player.

Phone Home: You didn't though, you didn't, you just explained the truth. Elite.

2: He

3eezy Bih: But he also can win if he go get another caliber 1B player like him. Like if him and Donovan Mitchell was on the same team. I believe they can win the championship. But I don't believe that if LeBron came to Phoenix that V Booker's still gonna be the number one option. No, there's only a few. A lot of people be called, like I'm not the type person to call everybody a fucking goat. There's limitations to that shit.

Phone Home: Who the fuck are you that though?

3eezy Bih: I mean, that's what I'm saying. That's been my point. That's what I'm trying to tell you. That's what I'm telling Bill. And then you talking about Jason Titan, baby, Jason Titan.

Phone Home: But I mean, I'm not gonna, if you telling me like we arguing about KD, LeBron and stuff, this ain't no argument. If that was the whole argument from the joke, yeah, if that was the whole argument from the joke, this ain't no argument.

3eezy Bih: well, they told me. ⁓ Well, ⁓ that's what I consider 1A though. mean, apologize if I didn't make that clear, which I thought I did. only consider about 5 people 1A.

Phone Home: Cause if you talk about, if you talk about Yokey's, if you talk about Yokey's, if you talk about Steph, talk about LeBron, you talk about KD, you talk about Shay, you talk about Luca, nah, they, ain't nobody picking Devin Booker over none of them niggas.

3eezy Bih: But that's my point. That's why I consider 1A, 1B. Like, he's a 1A ⁓ for that team. But that's what I'm saying. But that's what I'm saying, Bill. I only consider, it's only, when I say 1A.

Phone Home: Okay.

Eric: Man, you talking about super, mega superstar. I didn't even know that,

Phone Home: But that's what I'm saying. Like we've been arguing about nothing then.

3eezy Bih: I I've best take my preference on it. That's what I tell you. I've been said it. That's why I can understand what we're this afraid about. like, a 1A?

Eric: That's a no-brainer for me.

Phone Home: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no brainer. We all in the greens, Dink.

2: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: Fuck y'all. Spare that nigga with the red shirt over there. What the fuck is that? His casual ass. I'm a casual. What's nigga on, Spirit? What the fuck you talking about some casuals? ⁓

Phone Home: We got it dawg.

Eric: Yeah.

Phone Home: All right, man. So Sean Cotton, he kind of like made a point about Sean Cotton, the guy from Say Cheese. He made a point about rappers fell off because ⁓ it's not about talent and people only like the storylines. And as of lately, you can see like it ain't really a lot of storylines in rap. So I guess there has been a decline and-

3eezy Bih: What do you say?

Phone Home: You know, what do y'all think about that?

Eric: I think the emergence of new rappers is just, I mean, I think that beef kinda, man, that Drake and Kendrick beef was the highest of anything that could have happened. And like, it don't get no bigger than that. You know what I mean? I mean, it don't get no bigger than that because they are the biggest out right now. So outside of that, everything look boring, you know? It's like, oh man, and then so much good music dropped because of that. You got a span of like, I don't know, 12, 15 tracks between the both of them, and like good music in a span of two, three weeks. It's like, man, don't get more excited than that. That was the climax, everything else is, you know, what we gonna do after that? Except wait for Iceman to drop.

2: You're right.

Phone Home: to hear his story.

Eric: Yeah, right. And after Iceman dropped, it's really gonna get boring. Think about that. I mean, of course Drake is gonna chart for like the next year or so. So when we roll into 2027, ⁓ man, rap gonna be so boring because we ain't waiting on the fall off no more. Kendrick, he gonna go and hide him for another 10 years like he always do. And then, then what? It's gonna get real scary after that.

Phone Home: Like what do you want to hear from me or that you already ain't heard?

Eric: Come on now, Ross. Ross ain't coming with another Drake feature. Pack him up. You know what I mean? So.

Phone Home: Mmm.

2: Who gonna be scared to drop?

Eric: Future, mean future, gonna be, he gonna be the, you know what I mean? We waiting on him to drop, but after he drop, I don't know what, cause he, his, I that's my dog, but his career kind of, I mean, likely so. He been major for like the last 15 years, you know, so.

3eezy Bih: See, but wasn't that, right? Man, nothing to get. That one we was in with, ⁓ God, yeah, right.

Eric: Yeah, that was just me being modest, right?

2: Yeah, right, so I came out of prayer,

Eric: Yep.

3eezy Bih: I think that came out in He really wanted the future.

2: Yeah, I think. so

Eric: Same time, Peter. Same time. Thank you.

Phone Home: Okay.

2: 2011, yeah.

3eezy Bih: Probably around 14.

Eric: 2012, was in, he was running. 2011, 2011, he was running. time we went to Memories, all you heard was Future.

2: Especially the club scene. He was smacking every clothes, especially on the down south for sure.

3eezy Bih: No. I'm saying, when he become future though?

Eric: I got a hold to him in 2011. I didn't like him in 2011, but he was everywhere.

3eezy Bih: Well, mean, he was everywhere for us. was like, you know what saying? I'm talking about where he was like known with other cultures like, ⁓ that's you,

2: Yeah, he was on the rapper for the singing. I don't know when that happened. I think that's you taking a like a big chunk of his rap lifespan if you do that. Cause I don't even know if this two was crossover worthy. I know this shit went platinum to us, but like I'm not sure what it did crossing over us.

3eezy Bih: Yeah. Yeah.

2: know, got him coding crazy and all that. People love that shit. He been like something on this app.

Eric: Yeah, that's true.

3eezy Bih: To answer the question though... ⁓ ⁓ I don't know bro. It's kind of crazy because it's like I hate to say this, is this a race aspect to it though? Doesn't seem like everything, not everything, but the top two ⁓ majority black thing is kind of developed, know, kind of like kind of falling, you know, it's been talked about the NBA, now hip hop. And, but then you look at like football, that shit's like, like it's going crazy still. And so they know they went through their phases of defense first, offense, and then back to defense. And then it came to the middle. it's like, it ain't like they telling new stories. You know what saying? So it's like, I hate to make a race aspect because I'm not looking for racist content. It's kind of, what is it?

Eric: Mm-hmm.

2: I'm saying like can't too, can a predominantly black spike be the majority, like the top?

3eezy Bih: Take me. Yeah, the spaces of it like majority, you know, I'm saying like most fans, most fans, most fans is most NBA fans are, you know, predominantly black, you know, it is what it is, you know, not to say I got no white fans. I'm just saying like that's one of the there's one reason they they promote the black lives matter because that's where they fan base and stuff would come from where NFL like this.

2: Will it withstand the test of time? you're the king. The king of glory.

3eezy Bih: Take this shit on back of they hat. Just so play together tight shit. You know like, we put up with y'all, but they go get their breed. You know what I'm Anti-Sick. So, you know, but I don't know, man. I'm kind of like what's moving sometimes on the law this year. I mean, with the NBA side of it, ain't nothing popping, bro.

2: You got it.

Eric: You know, it's interesting too because I was getting ready to post a reel on Instagram and I was trying, I posted it and I used, ⁓ I think I forgot what song I used, I think it was last June. Or, you know, it wasn't last June, it was actually Future. I used Future and then I tried to like, it started getting traction, know, some sort of stuff get traction on my business page, I tried to boost it. And bro, they would not let me boost it with the hip hop song on there. They said I had to change the music and they gave me a list of options to change to or to put on there. And bro, was, none of it was hip hop. And I was like, damn, this is a major platform.

Phone Home: That's probably more so copyright issues.

Eric: ⁓ okay. Ugh.

2: Diver.

Phone Home: Yeah, because it's ⁓ that on TikTok and stuff too. ⁓ long, Just to ⁓ them some feedback. Because you got to think about it like you paying to advertise, but you're using that song to advertise.

3eezy Bih: Can I ask you to do it too?

2: Okay.

Eric: I

3eezy Bih: I would say the end point too, and I probably didn't talk.

Eric: Gotcha. Okay.

3eezy Bih: So what song did I get you to do?

Phone Home: They probably gave him like some generic songs.

Eric: Yeah, they gave me like some Afro beats, know, something like something I ain't never heard of.

Phone Home: Yeah. Yeah, like Universal and shit like that, like labels like that, be protected. Like you can't boost, you can't boost with using like, they shit the boost. Yeah.

Eric: Yeah, I didn't know that. I didn't know that. ⁓ In my head, I'm thinking, damn, this look kind of fishy. That's good context, though. I appreciate it.

2: What you about to say, dude?

3eezy Bih: ⁓ forgot about that. Yeah, I love that one. I don't think anyone does it crazy though.

Phone Home: What you think though, too?

2: think the shift started, I guess, so recently, because of the beef, because I think it was kind of smooth. I think everything was going smooth at a certain period of time. I know the women started taking over, but I think still just people were dropping. It was kind of more unison. People didn't know what to do after the beef. I think everybody just sat on their hands. When the beef was going on, was like, man, hell no. What the fuck am I to for? I forgot who it was. said, man, what am I to drop for now? Ain't nobody trying to hear me? And being shit, being honest. So it's like, damn, after this going on, then it's like everybody was on eggshells like, damn, when do I drop or? God damn, we need, we gotta have marketing plan, man. You know what I'm saying? I think the, when the, was one of the biggest albums that came, Clips, they had a whole, they had the nostalgia for one. And then they had a whole rollout scheme. like, oh, we gotta put some thought and effort into this. Cause it used to be like, nigga, you better keep dropping or you're get forgot about, you know? PBS said like damn we got switched up the strategy and I think still I don't think I don't think anybody has like Garner what to do now. I think it's still just up in here. Like what do we do people dropping albums? Not folks not even knowing a dropping albums. I think um Just like a boss man D. Lo just dropped. I don't even I Think that's it. No, I'm saying that's it Danny went on deaf ears and my he was the biggest nigga the

Eric: Yeah. Yeah. It did.

2: Best thing smoking, shot the dro. You like me, something?

Phone Home: don't know about the Death Edge thing though. Cause I feel like J. Cole's album is falling on Death Edge.

3eezy Bih: You know why that dope.

Phone Home: I don't know why, cause it's gold. You know what saying? So it's like, it's moving somewhere. You know what I'm saying? Or it's just like, I think you can't really judge it just from your POV because that J. Cole out moving somewhere. You know what I'm saying?

3eezy Bih: Thanks.

2: Mm-hmm.

3eezy Bih: That's kind of pushing back on that. That's why, hey, hold on to it, damn, you probably gonna take that one. That's why I like, I see it. But I mean, me you probably might agree with the same thing. I think that album is somewhat part of the Kendrick Drake shit. Like it was just, you know, it moved because people were like, that's one of those albums.

2: I think it's part of point two though. Like a.

Phone Home: Huh?

2: Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead, Dink.

Phone Home: ⁓ no, no, no, I think, no, no, no, I think, I mean, it's J. Cole, so you can't group him and his album moving because of that. I'm just saying that. Boss Mandilo, he doing something out here. You know what saying? Like that nigga, before he got on the own pod, he was singing Boss Mandilo's song. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, so I agree, but at the same time, don't like judging music from-

Eric: Yeah, I love that damn song.

Phone Home: from a POV of light. it ain't moving in my circle, then that shit ain't popping.

3eezy Bih: You know what to do.

Eric: You know what though? think that what you said is gold because man, I did a session with this 17 year old and I mentioned Tyler the creator, bro. She almost lost her wits. And I was sitting there looking at her like, bro, Tyler the creator, she was like, oh my God, you don't know who Tyler is? I'm like, I know who Tyler is. She was like, no, you don't know because you saying he whack. And I said, I don't think he whack.

Phone Home: ⁓ You still make.

Eric: I was like, don't think the dude wear, shout out to Tyler, but I just think I don't see how they doing this. Like I don't, and that's what got me, like are we out of touch in that sense? Because rap is still alive and it's moving. And like these younger people, say what? I thought I had.

3eezy Bih: you Nah, I think he was just like, yeah, I think he was just giving me a of

2: Agree.

Eric: Yeah, it's moving though and it's still alive and for some it's finding a way to survive. And I don't know how. And again, maybe we out of touch. We not in them circles. But when I talk to these kids, man, these kids, they keen. They can tell me, this artist, they can tell me where this concert happened. They can tell me, it's like, ⁓ shit, like, it's a new wave that I just, I'm not a part of. Let me immerse myself in this, in that world and start to figure out these new rappers and maybe the sound wave changing over there.

Phone Home: Yeah, so I think like, I think, I think like there's a world for like niggas like Bossman D-Lo and know, Tyler the Creator. I think Sean Cotton Point was like more so about, you know, like the Billboard shit and like, you know, how we not like, you know, nowhere near that shit. And like, he was talking about, he was talking about storylines.

3eezy Bih: I love it.

Eric: Alright.

Phone Home: And he was just saying like, he brought up Young and Ace and he was like, you know, when Fulio passed, that storyline, you know, left, you know what saying? ⁓ And then he said something about, he was talking about Polo G, you know, I didn't even really understand what he was talking about. Well, he said Polo G fell off and he, yeah, you know, and I mean, hell, you can say the same thing about Lil Baby. It's like once these storylines,

3eezy Bih: And, of course.

Phone Home: And that's basically like the point he was saying like talent don't even matter in rap. It's all about your storyline. And he tried to make it seem like that was a scam. You know what saying? Like, man, don't nobody care about your talent. And it's like, well, shit bro. That's been what it was since the beginning of the time. 50 Cent got shot nine times. That was the storyline. You know what I'm saying? Like you can't make it seem like it ain't. That ain't been like what it was the whole time. But I do think, right, that's what I'm saying. So it's like, I don't really know if I...

3eezy Bih: They like this but anything though.

2: Like, it ain't just always 95 % talent.

3eezy Bih: Okay.

Phone Home: Yeah, right. don't think I necessarily agree with it, but I do think like I do think to that point niggas ain't got interesting stories. You know what saying? Like ain't nobody's story interesting. Everybody's shit is the same thing. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I think that's really what it boils down to. Like, you know what saying? Like it ain't really, it ain't really nothing interesting.

3eezy Bih: Thank

Phone Home: ⁓ Out here for us personally like boss man below he cool, you know I'm saying but that he really telling you nothing, you know I'm saying

3eezy Bih: Thank

Eric: Yeah, but I don't even know what, go ahead, Dane, go ahead.

3eezy Bih: Welcome. I'm gonna say this, that kind of like to my point, I was gonna ask you, is that a correlation then? Cause like what I would ask you, ask y'all early. What? There's no story, you know what saying? Cause everybody a rich kid now. So we all see that dude of like, yeah, I gotta get this from my mom. Like it was no, so is that.

Phone Home: ⁓ yeah, cause we talked about that too. We talked about that too, like the NBA, there's no storylines. There's no storyline. Yeah. Yeah, that's why Ant is so, so, so, he could be so great for the NBA because he from the hood. I think both his parents didn't pass. You know what saying? He from Atlanta. You know what saying? So it's like, you know, he, he, had drama going on in his life, but he's still balling. You know what saying? So it's like, know what saying? Like he got that. But if you look at Shay, the fuck do you know about Shay?

3eezy Bih: Yeah.

2: That's a polarizing kid,

3eezy Bih: I mean, even Lamello, I know you got the big baller brand, but he came from riches. ain't the Boozer Brothers coming, everybody at the NBA.

Phone Home: I think Melo got a story. I think that's a little bit different though, Dink, because they got a storyline. ⁓ They have a storyline. Like those are three brothers. You know what saying? That's a storyline.

3eezy Bih: You say home? Home. No, I'm. No, that is a storyline. No, I'm talking about as the masses of everybody in the NBA is not the poor kid that made it. That's what I'm saying. No, the Bob brothers do got a storyline.

Phone Home: But that don't mean that's not a storyline.

3eezy Bih: No, that's why I said my bad. I'm not saying I wasn't really going against their storyline. Cause you're right. They do have a storyline. Cause just like Yonis, he got a storyline, but I'm saying, yeah, I'm talking about far as the masses of what the NBA was. It was like, you know, Hey, you know, pull up on the boot, bootstraps. had to work for this where the majority of everybody came from some type of riches. Now everybody had a personal trainer. Everybody do this and that.

Phone Home: Right. You got three brothers, right.

3eezy Bih: It ain't like, you know, like they would they used to say, which I don't like, but it is true. Ain't no more hood, baby. You know, ain't no more.

Phone Home: Well, no, it's not a lot. It's not a lot, but I don't think that mean it can't be a storyline though, because I'm a fan of the Big Baller brand. they, of course, like you said, it ain't hood, but it's like, shit, oh shit. They got a father who supported all of them. Their mom got cancer. She overcame cancer. LaVard and Lauders lost his foot. He put three kids. Like, it's still something you can attach to. You know what saying? So I don't necessarily think.

2: And we're... It's what I like to eat.

3eezy Bih: I think that could be the story line. don't think you can know it. Well, my bad. I'm not, my bad. I wasn't saying the Ball Brothers that have a story. I was basically saying people come from riches now. The Ball Brothers, but there you go. The Ball, yeah. There you go. There you go. I'm glad you said the Ball Brothers. A Ball Brothers story is an anomaly now. I mean, like for somebody to have a story that's an anomaly. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. You know, see, you know.

Phone Home: It gotta be. Oh yeah, nah, yeah, lot of the kids are AAU, AAU, yeah, right, AAU.

2: Hey you, for sure. Yeah.

Phone Home: Right, yeah.

2: Yeah, like the Jackson 5 down there.

3eezy Bih: I mean, look at Kyle Anthony, know, his story is mellow daddy.

Phone Home: Hey, but that's a story though, but that's a story though. because he's not a superstar and like he's fighting through, he's, Brony James, that's the storyline though, Dink. That's the storyline.

3eezy Bih: Well, I agree with you, I think that I think I thought the argument was like, it appealing? Is it appealing storyline? I think after it run, if those guys don't end up being.

Eric: So Dua

Phone Home: Sheesh, sheesh. Brunny, whether it's good or bad, niggas talk about Brunny good and bad.

3eezy Bih: I just think if they'll end up being good, I think those storylines don't carry it. That's why I'm that's my argument. Like I think the ball brother, I think if if Lanzo was really good, I think that that if all three of them will let's just say. One was OK with the middle brother, but Lanzo was pretty good pouring guard that you had the middle one that was OK and then they had Mello. I think that shit would have been like.

2: Good and bad.

Eric: Well, no story like here is different if you try it.

3eezy Bih: I could have sold it, but since it did pan out, that story no longer. The biggest story Big Baller Brandon had now is not even BBB. It's been really, cuz he got into it with Nick Wright, about him calling Nick Wright calling Lamello a clown. So it's not really like that storyline, I think.

Phone Home: But the story not over though, Dink. It's not over though. Like he's still two of them in the league.

3eezy Bih: You say so. I think it's He made a hit.

Eric: Then the third brother making hits.

2: Yeah.

Eric: BAAA-

Phone Home: He just dropped the five songs a couple weeks ago.

3eezy Bih: I don't see why.

Phone Home: What you think too?

2: But ⁓ nah nah, fuck it all.

Phone Home: I'm just talking about just storylines and know, NBA music. What you think?

3eezy Bih: Nice and mature.

2: I think the storylines, does play a factor. I think, don't know how you can create them anymore, for real. I think, especially with the rap, they're gonna be super beefed out. ⁓ Their storylines gonna lead them, just lead them in jail. NBA-wise, I do see the correlation with the NBA. I don't know, cause it's kind of weird, guess, cause you we always say like, like the, what, five of the top 10 foreign, like it feels like different since it is not like homegrown, you feel me? Yeah, so that's, I think that's a, that kind of neglects it. I was watching the, I was watching the clip that.

Phone Home: Great point. Great point. I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna say this. I'm interrupting you on purpose just to drive home your point. I remember when, and I think I told you either you or Bill about this when Andrew Jones was my favorite fucking baseball player of all time. And then I found out that nigga was from Barbados. Nigga, my heart broke.

2: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: Thank

2: You see, it took that 25 to do it.

Phone Home: I thought he was from the hood! And then I was watching Fox Kids one day, it was like nine o'clock in the morning. I was prepared to watch the show. And then that nigga got on that talking Caribbean accent. I was like, what? You weren't from New Orleans? You were down the street.

Eric: Thank

2: you

Eric: You ain't from Atlanta, you ain't from the night war, like what is this?

3eezy Bih: That's great.

Phone Home: But that ain't got anything to The niggas feel was great, da da da, but as a kid, to your point, I just wanted to be able to just, you know what saying? And I was like, damn. Right, you got it though too.

2: I ain't pack that nigga up.

Eric: That's messy, bro.

2: resonate more with them.

3eezy Bih: So too, what you're saying that, my bad, I meant to interrupt you now too, but what you're saying that, does that bring home the point that all of us kind of, well, I don't know if really agreed with it, but we were talking about when I had mentioned the NFL, cause ain't no foreign superstar in the NFL. All them homegirls, whether they black, white,

2: Nagoya, Nagoya. Damn it's crazy.

Phone Home: I wanted to say this earlier football is The most relatable sport there is because you just come from everything You know saying like you don't it don't come with a certain size. You know saying like right

3eezy Bih: Right.

Eric: Yeah. And then, yeah, half the people in the league are like Tom Brady stories. Like Tom Brady was the last pick in his draft. You know what I mean? Like, you don't, anybody can be something if you work hard enough and you get somewhat lucky. But you know what mean?

2: football teflon.

Phone Home: Right, yeah, football.

3eezy Bih: I mean, it take a lot of anything. You're going to take some look. I favor.

Eric: Yeah.

Phone Home: Yeah, football just a blue collar sport, man. Like, it don't take.

Eric: Yeah.

2: Mm-hmm. It's kind of hard to gaze a football for sure.

Eric: But that's why so like hard knocks are a thing for football. I don't think you can have a hard knocks in basketball. It won't do the same. You know what mean? So that's...

2: point yeah

3eezy Bih: So it might go to your point about football players ain't good as basketball players.

Phone Home: ⁓ yeah, I just had this conversation on, I had this conversation yesterday. ⁓ I was saying that I think basketball players are the most skilled players. I think football is the hardest sport to play, but I think the hardest thing in sports to do is hit a baseball, if that makes sense.

Eric: Yeah, you hit it on the head. You hit it to pause. You hit it on the head, yeah. But hey, hey y'all, look, I did not know, man, basketball players, man, you hear, you hear somebody say, bro, bro, six, seven, and moving like that. Bro, six, eight, moving like that. But until you go to a game and you see how big, how tall them boys is and how they moving like they five, two, I'm like, ⁓ wow.

3eezy Bih: Thank you, Jesus Christ.

Phone Home: Right?

3eezy Bih: Thank

2: Yeah.

Eric: It is no contest. Basketball is the most athletic there is.

Phone Home: Yeah. Yeah.

3eezy Bih: You ain't

Phone Home: And I was saying like football, if football is the hardest sport to play because bro, like it's so, it's so much that you can't control. Like nigga, you can run that go route and score a touchdown and that motherfucking tackle, hold it. You in the end zone like this, let's go. You know what I'm saying? Like it's so many fucking variables in football, dog.

Eric: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Exactly.

2: Doug, you know.

3eezy Bih: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah.

Phone Home: Come on, man.

3eezy Bih: You ain't lying, but that just brought up the damn cheese game. We thought we beat Tom Brady. Inception, cheese, on to the Super Bowl. Hold up. B4, offside. I said, what the fuck this nigga doing?

Phone Home: Yeah, bro, it's too many variables, bro. It's too many variables. And we talking about penalties. We ain't talking about a nigga just getting his shit smashed straight through. You know what I'm saying? We talking about penalties.

2: God is hand.

3eezy Bih: Fake. Nah, that's a good point,

Eric: Yeah, football rough, Football rough. But that's what makes it so exciting too, because somebody can run that goal route and score that touchdown and think about how to oppose the team like, let's go! You know what I mean? Like, you catch all these lucky breaks that you don't get in basketball, you know? So that's what kill it, but also kind of give it an extra boost too, because everybody got to be on one accord.

3eezy Bih: Thank you. Hey, hey.

2: Mm-hmm.

Phone Home: Yeah. Everybody got to be on one accord like nigga LeBron LeBron he nigga average 50 10 and 10 You know I'm saying and wield his team nigga Nigga that 50 10 and 10 and football nigga you still can lose

3eezy Bih: Me, me.

2: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: Joe Burrow threw 500 yards, 10 to it down. nigga deep in.

Eric: Yeah, that's why.

2: For real.

Phone Home: It didn't make the playoffs!

Eric: and still lost. But you know what? Look, right. But that's why Tom Brady's so, like what he did is so crazy. Like, Tom Brady, bro, like that dude is money on the field. He was money for like so many seasons, bro. And then we thought he was just the Patriots. He left and won with Tampa Bay. I couldn't believe it. Huh?

2: But him and Jamar Chase was ballin'. That ain't mountain nothin'.

3eezy Bih: We gotta talk about this, old boy. We gotta talk about this. We gotta talk about this.

Eric: I was like, he won, I was kind of a believer when he came back in Atlanta. I was like, man, come on, bro. I think me and two, we watched, bro. That was a crazy night.

2: you

3eezy Bih: He beat the cheese, that's all you gotta say.

2: but we had a Super Bowl party

3eezy Bih: I love them. I love them. I love them. I ain't gonna sit here and not get three of these credits. Like I ain't been told y'all Tom Brady was the GOAT. I would tell them them boys that in Perk, I would tell them y'all boys that in fucking Broadwalk, Bullwalk, wherever we was. And I remember Taz used to come in that bit, Peyton, Peyton! I didn't bro, Tom, and I used to tell y'all boys Tom Brady was the greatest nigga.

Eric: You have, you been saying? probably.

2: me. Anger? I ain't gonna lie to you, you was ahead of your time with that one. It took me a while to believe you, but he beat Patrick, I said yeah, he that one.

Eric: world. ⁓

3eezy Bih: How long, How long? How long? Hey, hey, hey, hey, Hey, bro. Come on now, too. We ain't gonna do that. If my memory serves me right, we gonna defeat again one team in that bowl. I don't know who, but you know I'm...

3eezy Bih: Get out the mud.

2: Look, I'm from the of the cast.

Phone Home: Hey man, DJ Vlad versus Boosie, man.

3eezy Bih: seen the last video? I mean, his response... ⁓ makes total sense. But Bootsy also responded like, yeah, bro, we cool. So... It's sad, though.

Phone Home: I did, I did, I did. Yeah, but... who, what, what are you, what are you thinking in this situation? When you, ⁓ you, if you a platform and you can only pay a nigga so much, but the nigga is worth so much, what do you do?

2: really don't know what you do, dawg. They was like, they like go together so well, you know, they just mess. It's just kind of like, shit, know what I'm saying? It's just like something you just know what gonna happen is like this month. Like, you know what I'm saying? Car, car bill, dude, cable, shit, boots are gonna be on flag. Then it's like, I wanna have Tix alone for Turmore, you know what mean? I don't even look at him as a guest. It's like he was like a.

3eezy Bih: Damn. It's cold, safe.

2: friend of the show, you know? So it's kind of weird. So then they would say like the amount, the 5,000, and it's, but I know they cleared it up, but it still is like, I don't know, it's like, but they saying it's not, but it's like, it's more to the story. Cause I don't see Boosie any way else doing these. And I only.

3eezy Bih: Well, I mean.

Phone Home: He actually just dropped the clip. He just dropped the clip of him doing his own thing.

3eezy Bih: Did he drop, so he did the interview already? His kids did the interview?

Phone Home: Yeah, he just dropped the clip. It's on Patreon tomorrow.

2: I don't even see it. So, but how consistent does he... So how consistent would he have to be versus ⁓ on Vlad? Vlad got his own thing going. If this is your own show, you can't just drop randomly, look like you do with Vlad. You gotta be consistent. I don't know if you just give him the camera. I got an interview for y'all. me. you know what I'm saying?

3eezy Bih: Yeah, it'd be stupid.

Eric: And Boosie probably couldn't do that though. He wasn't the only one that could. I'm halfway playing.

3eezy Bih: I mean...

2: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: I don't think music can do that. I know my bad my bad my bad I wasn't rebuttling to you in that type of way I was just kind of like I don't know I was saying that answering smooth questions and to me the platform

2: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: The platform or the person or the interviewer, it also depends on who bigger. We got a platform, but we get this and watch it on it. You know what saying? ⁓ Let's take it on home. So that's a big up for it, right? But then if we go to Oprah, that's our platform. You know what saying?

2: All right.

3eezy Bih: So just depends on who bigger and I guess when it comes to Vlad and Boosie I would say Vlad is probably bigger than Boosie but they bigger together if that makes sense Vlad Papoy Yeah like ain't nobody gonna You get most views watching Boosie on Vlad and if you say he's with ⁓ interviewing with Loom so to speak Not that Loom is a bad person he's just like shit well I prefer

Phone Home: He's bigger in that space.

2: Mm-hmm.

Phone Home: Mm-hmm.

3eezy Bih: I agree with cheese, whatever, that makes sense. You know what I'm He with, well, what's it got to But to answer your question, who's bigger, it depends on which one's bigger, if that makes sense, Paul.

Eric: I like how Vlad was putting stats in there. He was like, yo, this is what I'm looking at his traffic. I can't pay you that, bro. This is a business at the end of the day. And I think Boosie, he could respect that. Like, OK, well, you mean to tell me those numbers ain't numbering up and this is what you can pay me and I ain't going for it? Well, we just got to respectfully part ways right now. And maybe they'll link back up at some point.

3eezy Bih: So, you keep painting it. This is a good, very good painting.

Phone Home: But. Is the... Is the, is it worth, is it worth that though?

3eezy Bih: I think I'll thank you by the end of the

Phone Home: Yeah, like is it worth like, you know, keeping the momentum? You know what I'm saying? Like your name spreads bigger. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, when you with Vlad, you stay more relevant. You know what I'm saying? It's like, is it worth the quote unquote money? You know what saying? And if you ask me, like, you know, it's so funny, like when people like say, ask some business man, like, man, set your bitch ass up. But like.

3eezy Bih: Thank

Eric: Yeah.

Phone Home: Right, right, right, and I was just about to do it. That's a business, man, myself personally. Man, shut the fuck up. But like, I mean, it's 5, 10 grand, you know what saying? But you gonna say on the other side, you know, and it's kinda, it's funny. It's so funny, cause like, I do do this on a daily basis where a motherfucker try to tell me it's only five grand, but nigga, you give it up. You know what I'm saying? Like, stop.

2: Me personally.

3eezy Bih: You get it, babe.

2: Right.

Phone Home: Stop trying to tell me to give it up, you know what saying? So, yeah, so, know, I think Vlad, I think Vlad.

3eezy Bih: You might be pocketing.

2: Mm-hmm.

Phone Home: think Vlad might should have took that bullet. You know what I'm saying? I hate it because I think Boosie wrong, but at the same time, think Vlad, like that just gonna bring so much indirect traffic to your channel. You know what I'm saying? Cause I don't go to Vlad. You know what I'm saying? I don't be on that, but like, you know, this situation and- That might be where Boosie got a point because it's like, nigga, yeah, you telling me you gonna make X, Y, Z on my episode with me, but nigga, it's gonna be so much indirect traffic that comes with, you ain't telling everybody those numbers. You ain't telling everybody those numbers. Yeah, you ain't telling, I forgot what it's called, but it's another...

2: Yeah. Hi. How you think that he they watching this other interview?

Phone Home: That's another data point, but like you not telling nobody else those points. So you say, Hey man, I'm only making 40 grand right here. But nigga tell the people how much money you done made off of niggas coming through me and going to other shit.

3eezy Bih: Thank

Eric: Yeah. Yeah. I personally, I agree with that because I think that certain people you just like they name, they hold that name whole weight, you know, and you got like, bro, some people gonna get a pass and some people you gonna have to pay versus you get you because that just having that being associated with that person or that entity.

3eezy Bih: I disagree with you though.

Eric: his followers, her followers. Man, man, better man, boost him.

Phone Home: Yeah, I think I was agreeing with Vlad at first,

3eezy Bih: I mean...

2: I kind of still do, I kind of still both, I'm kind of on fence about it. Cause you know, like then especially like Boosie kind of makes you, cause Boosie is such like a staple in our culture. Like he kind of get him, you ain't got to worry about past the like the, you know, flattest snitch, criminal, like you know, CIO, you know what I'm saying? Man, Boosie be on that. So yeah, yeah. So he kind of keep him in, you know what I'm saying? So then it's going, they going to look at him.

3eezy Bih: He gave him his neck on basically.

Phone Home: Okay, yeah, nah, that's a point. But that's already established though, too. Like that ain't, that can't, it can't be changed. You already did so much work with him that, that can't be changed.

2: Unless he can get on something like the walk situation, you know what mean? Like the, oh man, dang, that's really what's going on? Because somebody so prevalent like Boosie can start a narrative, but I don't think Boosie would, because I think they're going to finally, they're going to make up at some point, it's just going to look weird, but you know, I think they're going make up for sure. But also I think like, the flagging you like such an easy out, you ain't got to worry about.

3eezy Bih: So that's what I'm saying, you pay him for it. Nah, they cool as shit.

Eric: But it always do. problems.

2: up running this you just go to talk shit like you do always anyway you ain't got to be consistent you don't got to worry about the ins and outs of it for real so it's like I don't know

Eric: Right.

3eezy Bih: that's why I disagree with y'all though bro. I mean I'm with Vlad based off what both parties saying. If it's something in the background that I don't know I'm only yeah but I'm based off the things that I heard or from both perspectives because ain't nobody came out saying somebody's lying right neither one of them.

Phone Home: That's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying.

2: You're right.

3eezy Bih: So, Vlad said he wasn't even gonna say nothing until Boosie put it out loud. So I had to make it. So he's like, hey, whoa, I got, let me clear my name. Cause I'm not no cheap person. It wasn't a $5,000 raise. It was a 40 % increase. He wanted 10 bands. He already said, Vlad already said he was taking losses anyway because he was paying Boosie more. Like wherever the profit was, Boosie would get like 25 where he would take home 10.

Phone Home: Right.

2: Yeah, yeah.

Phone Home: Yeah, you're right.

3eezy Bih: So to that point, like he's saying like, and then again, he was like, bro, yeah, people know us from Vlad and Boosie, but it's not like you all. Like I think two or Bill said that he wasn't even like a guest no more. He was like a friend of the show. And so since now you a friend of the show.

Phone Home: you

3eezy Bih: You it's kind of it's kind of like oversaturation. You know what i'm saying? It's like the nba right 82 games I can watch that one next time this one this and next time we nfl shit We know one sunday monday or thursday so everybody is like tuned in you're talk about that bitch monday at work What booze is like a real occurrence like ⁓ yeah, you heard it ain't gonna be you heard what booze is saying unless he say something super out rate

Eric: That's the good part. Yeah.

Phone Home: Well, nah, it's the situation that just happened though. It ain't about Boosie just going on there. This is a big situation that just happened. ⁓ okay.

2: Yeah, okay.

3eezy Bih: I'm with you. I'm with you. So, but I'm saying that's why I say he so he was like he wanted to embed because he just paid ⁓ what's it's akashi and and but glad like bro do you see all the shit going on like they got memes they made trump memes out of it like he getting a lot of you know streams that take what he said take ⁓ a million streams just to make what how much ⁓

Phone Home: to Kathy. like 14,000 or something like that. And he may, think, yo, yo, yo.

3eezy Bih: To make day. So like I said, like, and I understand what y'all mean by the, I don't know the term meter smooth, but basically the indirect money that he getting. But like you said, the two anyway, that's it. Glad TV already established. You know what saying? Like whatever he was going to get.

Phone Home: Yeah, but, but nah, but but, ⁓ But it's a term for niggas like us. You know what saying? I don't know what the term is, but I don't watch Vlad TV no more. You know what I'm saying? So that Vlad, that Boosie interview, it would have brought me back. You know what I'm saying? Plus, you know what saying? If you see some other stuff, that money adds up. And as a businessman, you not gonna tell Boosie that part.

2: Yeah.

Phone Home: You know I'm saying? You know, like when I tell somebody, hey, you know, like, hey man, this is, I'm not telling them how much money I can make on the back end. You know what I'm saying? Like, or what I'm going to do. Like that ain't, that's none of your business. But I can tell you this, like Vlad not telling that part. He not telling that. And he don't have to. He don't have to. Yeah.

2: Thank

3eezy Bih: don't think, I'm about to say I don't think he has a shot. Because if you only watching me for Boosie anyway, I'm not making that money anyway. You could, that's already, I'm losing it.

Phone Home: Nah, but you can track it though. You can track it though. He can track it. He can track it of like where that person went to and where they're going to. like, if you go there for Boosie and you go there to watch ⁓ Joe DiMaggio, I don't know where the fuck I came from. That nigga, he be having monsters and shit on. So like, but you can track where that person goes.

3eezy Bih: Thank you. What do you mean? The ABM last in this is. ⁓ yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, for instance, I watch Speak Easily. I watch other podcasts, right? So other shit pop up because I went to, and they can track why I went there. Your video got popped up because you be watching this shit. ⁓ no, I know that. I feel that.

Phone Home: from, from here to here.

2: at the end.

Phone Home: Ew! Yeah, he not telling that part. Now, is that a lot of money? I don't know, but you know. Yeah, he did say that, I think you got to take in consideration what Boosie's about to talk about too. You know what saying? So like the Pooh Syson shit, the Pooh Syson Gucci shit. Yeah, so I don't know. just think that's a, I think they both handled it well. I think we can both say that, or all can say that. Like they definitely both handled that shit well. It is the funny part.

3eezy Bih: What are you about to talk about?

2: Yeah, that's the funny part.

3eezy Bih: So.

Eric: I think if I go ⁓ ahead.

2: No, I was just gonna say that. think that's the funny part about like, nigga, we so amicable about it like, damn, why we can't work it out?

3eezy Bih: want to ask, I want to ask y'all, if y'all were mad, what y'all would have did?

Eric: Yeah.

Phone Home: It could be a little scam. know, it could be like, not a scam, but like it could just be a little promo. Right. Right. Right. Right.

2: Yeah, let's start some friction so we get so I can't give you that fire.

Eric: I think everything from marketing and promotional purposes now.

3eezy Bih: As you can see,

Phone Home: No, right. If I'm Vlad, I'm doing it, Dink. If I'm Vlad, I'm, yeah, I'm paying him that H-5K. Yeah. Yeah.

3eezy Bih: You're doing it.

Eric: I don't think twice about it.

3eezy Bih: Well, you know, you're at that 5K coming down to the profit that you had.

Phone Home: Yeah, but nah, that's the thing though. Like I just told you. Well, that's just how I operate. Like, that's just how I operate in general. Like I could take a loss here if I'm gonna make it up somewhere else. It ain't really a loss.

3eezy Bih: But let's be honest, do you think, he making it up somewhere else though? That's what I'm saying. That's it. All right.

Phone Home: Yeah, nigga, nigga, fuck yeah he is. He been doing this shit. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Like to me, the numbers, you like to you, him telling you the numbers is like he justifying himself. To me, nigga, you pulling out them numbers lets me know that it's other numbers somewhere else.

2: This situation gonna be fire.

3eezy Bih: All Right. Not I mean, it remind you though, it ain't $5. I mean, it $5,000. It was 10. So he was asking for a 40 %

Phone Home: I see what you saying, but no, but that's what he's saying though. But that's what I'm saying though, Dink. That's what I'm saying though. He telling the world, man, I'm only making $5,000. He's making all the money. Yeah, that's true. But nigga, this is a backend business. Like, okay, you giving him his money on the front end. You know that shit coming on the backend, Vlad.

2: Yeah, side, your side don't never stop making it.

3eezy Bih: ⁓ So basically, you're saying, hey, look, I know the numbers ain't great, bud, and I may be losing money, some money talking to you, but because I got you, I make money off you. From other shits.

Eric: Or this is what could be happening. Them numbers drying up on Vlad. Like not even just with Boosie, but he can't afford to like, now he gotta get tight. You know what I mean? I was watching, who was there that I was watching about? the same no more or something like that. And that could be what it is too. maybe he ain't, Vlad ain't doing good.

Phone Home: Vlad did kind of say that too. did. think, damn, where the fuck does this information come from? I think that was Vlad saying, damn, where the fuck did this just come from? Somebody was saying that... ⁓ like somebody to like Busey or some somebody content can get flagged because they cursing. I don't think that was like, that's what he said. Okay. they did. All right.

3eezy Bih: He talking about my ass that I'm not boosting. Yeah, he was saying, he was like, some shit he can't even, I can't even make money off of because the good shit might get fucking flagged.

Phone Home: Yeah, okay, yeah, he did say that. Vash said that too, he did say that too.

Eric: Charleston White, I'll actually, let me see if I can find it, but Charleston White was talking about how we kind of looped out of the algorithm game and the streaming game when it come to like the media that we post because our language, the way we talk, we talk pimps, hoes, niggas, shit like that.

3eezy Bih: you

Phone Home: Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, that's what I was telling y'all boy like it's hard to promote our you can't use you can't use Google ads to promote our stuff. Yeah.

Eric: Absolutely, and that's what Charleston White went in on like a five-minute rant talking about it. And he talked about like Joe Rogan podcast versus a, you know, million dollars worth of game podcast. was like, you know, them boys doing good, but they ain't doing Joe Rogan good. You know what I mean? He started to break down why because of the language. But if we clean up our language, we don't talk or speak to the demographic that we trying to hit. You know what I mean? So it's a fine line. So like, how do you balance that? You know, so.

Phone Home: Fuck it.

2: Yeah, I was about to say that burial motherfucker. said damn maybe not right now

Phone Home: you

3eezy Bih: in a way I hear you, Charles and White, but then again, like.

Phone Home: Cause he don't even do the right goddamn thing.

3eezy Bih: Well, I don't think he was saying that for him to change. I think he was just probably saying that in general. He's more like you said, fuck it. But I will give you the information.

Phone Home: Right, right.

2: Yeah, he's, I think he's very intentional with his word selection.

3eezy Bih: Yeah, ⁓

Eric: Yeah.

Phone Home: Well, shit, man, let's, ⁓ I know Bilt got to get off in a little bit, man. I'm gonna skip the topic five, man. Tim Cook stepping down from Apple. I'm gonna get your thoughts on that, Bilt. I know you the tech, the fake tech guy. Hold on.

Eric: Yeah, yeah, I'm casually, I'm casually invested in it because I try to do the stock game. So I try to read on like these companies that I'm invested in. And that's going to be, think, I don't know what this means though, for real. Like I think Tim Cook done so well with Apple though. I mean, he took that company to like a trillion dollar evaluation over his 15 year tenure. So that's amazing. Yup.

3eezy Bih: I take my time, man.

2: Thanks to Holdup.

Phone Home: She been there 15 years? Sick.

3eezy Bih: Yeah, been there somewhat like a never.

Eric: in that 15 years, right? Yeah. And so he done introduced the AirPods. He done introduced the AirPods Pro. He done introduced the Apple Watch. So Tim Cook, he done, yeah. I know, I ain't read the time. Yeah, you gonna get read the time, bro. I know it. I know, know what's up. Yeah, yeah, you know.

3eezy Bih: And close your eyes, dude.

2: Yeah

3eezy Bih: ⁓ you did it. You did it before. You did it before the capa. Okay.

2: That nigga said, man, by the time we got to this, I was about to get this information.

Phone Home: Hey, so Bill, what do you think Tim Cook legacy is?

Eric: I think his legacy, that's a good question. I think his legacy is, it was supposed to be the Vision Pro, but that kind of tanked, sadly. I think his vision, I think he did introduce a lot of good stuff to the world. Like I said, the Apple Watch, the AirPod Pros, AirPod's period.

3eezy Bih: See you soon.

Eric: So I think Tim Cook, man, he cemented in like what he did as far as Apple and how he, what he brought the company to. like, Tim Cook, man, he did. Like again, he brought that company to a $4 trillion evaluation. I don't even know if we even can fathom what that means. You know what mean? Like billion, I understand. Like we, sometimes we don't even understand how much a billion is, but $4 trillion, bro. under his tenure, you know what mean? Like, nobody, I don't think nobody has done that versus.

Phone Home: It's the most valuable company in the world.

Eric: Is it, is either that one or a video with Jensen on the chips.

3eezy Bih: right now. ⁓

Phone Home: I believe so. Yeah, I think it's Apple, but you can double check.

3eezy Bih: No, I think they were, I think some years they were, but I don't think they are like to date.

Eric: Yeah, but. Yeah, but man, I'm interested to see where it go from here though. Like, you know, under Tim Cook, the stock went up like, man, times like 10X. And I'm not reading, but I need to be reading because I don't want to quote the wrong thing. But that's I'm saying though.

3eezy Bih: way.

Phone Home: I can have everything to win a...

2: Yes.

3eezy Bih: You ⁓

Eric: I'm looking at my own

2: That nigga's face start lighting up.

Phone Home: What's your thought, Dink?

Eric: the

Phone Home: Wish I was being

3eezy Bih: I mean, time for something new. think one reason, because it's not like he got fired or anything. I think they more of, I think the main thing they moving more towards somebody that's ⁓ more AI oriented. And I think that's what they trying to move more forward to. Yeah, they do. I've got the guy's name. know, yeah, he was, yeah, the hardware or something like that. you know, just reading up on it. I mean,

Phone Home: Yeah, they already got the replacement.

Eric: Yeah, they're promoting for within. He like an engineer. ⁓

3eezy Bih: Like my best comparison to it is of course very low level. It's Mark Jackson, Steve Kerr where Johnson's Mark Jackson. He innovated three point shooting out and stuff. You know he built it.

Phone Home: have one of damn burp, built burps. God damn.

3eezy Bih: What else award in that bitch But yeah, I'm just saying I think I think Steve Jobs like if I just had to compare I mean like I said super lower level but Mark Jackson was you know was probably Steve Jobs and many of the you know came first out phone first step courage shooting threes

Eric: Hello, bitch.

Phone Home: That ain't gonna help Bill. It might help me. It ain't gonna help Bill.

Eric: I'm dead, need...

Phone Home: What? I'm coming for the delete too, man. This thing is just compare Steve Jobs and more.

3eezy Bih: What you mean? That don't make sense to you? Thank

2: Hey

3eezy Bih: I said, I made my disclaimer say very low level. I'm saying like.

Eric: you

Phone Home: What the fuck we doing man?

Eric: Hey, I love him. Pack him up, man. Pack him up. Pack me, ⁓

3eezy Bih: What? That don't correlate to-

Phone Home: ⁓

2: I was going to get a suitcase.

Phone Home: This nigga sound like damn, compared to Michael Jordan.

3eezy Bih: No, no, Darryl was tripping. Darryl was tripping. No, Darryl was tripping. ⁓ I'm not tripping, because my shit makes sense.

Eric: Yeah, I don't know what that boy was on. I was like, man, where is she going with this?

2: I think so.

Eric: look, ⁓ actually it's Google that has the highest, I'm sorry, NVIDIA has the number one ⁓ evaluation. ⁓ it says, yep.

3eezy Bih: I know them on Google, cause Google got a lot of but not, ain't the world leader in phones and shit like that.

Eric: Yeah, so the video almost at five trillion.

3eezy Bih: But, ⁓

2: WAPA

Eric: Apple is at 3.8 to 4 trillion. And Google is actually second though. Yeah, Google, Apple is behind Google.

2: Thanks.

3eezy Bih: Yeah.

2: And I'm born and fell off. That's funny as hell to say. They only got four trees and they fell off.

Phone Home: Yeah.

Eric: broke ass company man get that broke ass company out of here. 3 broke ass company 3 trillion bro. Look hey Tim Cook for real though I think yeah kind of like what I'm thinking about now like man Tim Cook it's time because think about the iPhone though like the iPhone been the same since

2: should have bought the film up. you.

Phone Home: with

3eezy Bih: I'm not on built, see that's what I'm saying. That's why I'm upset, cause what you're saying is the same thing I'm about to say, about the Mark Jackson shit. Cause Steve Jobs was like the innovator. That's what he did. He created the iPhone, he created this shit. Same as Mark Jackson with the Warriors. Now everybody was doing what the Warriors was doing, but I couldn't take that over the hump. I mean, not over the hump, but.

Eric: Okay. Uh-huh. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

3eezy Bih: Then where the cook come in is, okay, well, we gonna, he basically monetize. I'm not an innovator, I'm Steve Kerr. I didn't create the Steph Currys, but we gonna make this shit, we gonna monetize this motherfucker. That first nigga idea, ⁓ yeah, we gonna make this bitch the next new thing of the NBA. And that's basically what he did. Now this new nigga.

Eric: and Yeah.

3eezy Bih: It's not like the innovator, but I want to like, well, it's kind of correlated with the wars because they talking about getting real estate, right? So now they want, yeah, that workforce now, but what's new and the new thing is AI. So we need a new somewhat what Cook was and what Jod was, but both of better if that makes sense. Like I want an innovator, but I also want somebody that gonna make money off the innovation. Right.

Phone Home: Right, right, okay. I'm with you.

Eric: and Mm-hmm.

Phone Home: Money Ties.

Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

3eezy Bih: And so that's why I think that and don't get fired anything like far reading it. So any like he did, you know, some scandal or he was trashed.

Eric: Yeah, it's time for me to go. It's just time. got hit like, think, like, especially in them big companies like that, because the world moving so fast, bro, you need new innovation. You need fresh eyes. You need fresh legs. And I think Tim Cook, again, he just like, he took the company to heights that I don't think nobody else could have done it.

2: ⁓ huh.

Phone Home: He took it to Heights. ⁓ I think Heights financially. Yeah, I don't think he was. Yeah.

3eezy Bih: Financially, yeah. Not new inventions, but...

Eric: financing, yes, but the product, the product, the product was starting to be subpar. The product, the phones, the colors, know, you know, like orange, blue, gray, like, man, how you not have a, how you not come out with a black iPhone, bro, with the iPhone 17, you know what I mean? Like, say what?

2: Alright.

3eezy Bih: That nigga cat, but he got an orange iPhone.

Eric: No, but that's I'm saying. But that's what I'm saying though. Like how do you try this stuff? It is outdated. Like, bro, how do you not come out with a black iPhone, bro? Like that's the, I'm looking at the phone.

3eezy Bih: If he came out with a black iPhone, what's the innovative difference in that?

Eric: I mean, ain't nothing innovative about that, but I mean, at least don't move away from your bread and butter. You know what mean? Like, bro, don't do that. No, bro.

2: Right.

3eezy Bih: No, I disagree with that.

Phone Home: Wish you a blast too. Wish you a blast too.

2: I ain't really got too many thoughts on it. My question is, well really ain't a question, I was just wondering like, damn, what the hell do you do after this? I guess that ain't not pointed out, but like where does he go after this?

3eezy Bih: It's supposed to be some type of tear.

Phone Home: He'll be an advisor.

Eric: Yeah, he gonna be on the board.

Phone Home: Yeah, he'll be in that vibe. Well, I mean, even if he leave, even if he leave, like, you know, like that's, that's, that's right. Right. Right. He's still in the building. Right. Yeah. Yeah. That niggas gonna be, that niggas gonna be leaving for real. He gonna be there for all the tough questions, you know, and shit like that. So.

2: Also, he like leaving, he just leaving his position. Next time.

3eezy Bih: great pop of it. Bruce Bruce Aaron types it.

Eric: Yeah, he on the board.

2: Yeah.

Eric: And they say he ain't leaving till September so it can be a smooth transition.

3eezy Bih: Or two, he could be like, what's your call? What's the nigga that do an announcement for? Go ahead, what you about to say?

Phone Home: Brad, ⁓ nevermind. I think Brad Stevens for the Celtics.

3eezy Bih: Or Brad St. That's a good point. I wouldn't think of Brad, but I was going more even, not nefarious, even more kind of like uncommon with, what's the dude that called football games on Sunday? Quarterback Troy Aikman. Not talking about Brady, but Troy Aikman. know, he going to work for Miami, an advisor or something like that. And they hire him because

2: ⁓ okay. Okay. Yeah.

Phone Home: Tom Brady.

2: stream.

3eezy Bih: They kind of want him to, I know, I don't want to put words in their mouth, but not a spy, but because he got sources or relationships with other teams so he can figure out what other people are and bringing that information back to Miami. But they say Troy Eggman only doing that because Cowboys didn't want to hire him for like what Brad Stevens doing for, I don't know.

Eric: a dolphin still gonna be ass.

2: I'm talking to you.

Phone Home: Mm-hmm.

2: Yeah.

Eric: But I think I think this is a good I think this is a great thing for alpha though person I think ⁓

2: Are you looking forward to it?

Phone Home: Yeah, I mean, before you before you drop the two trillion. You know what our evaluation is,

2: Yeah, I to get him, I had to pack him on up, man.

Eric: I believe. Pack the book. That boy was supposed to be walking around there like Tom Brady.

3eezy Bih: But yeah, think they chose to move on just because it was, like you said, I think it ain't gonna be about monetizing no more because I think they starting to hear the backlash on the phone sometimes. ⁓ And you can only hold off on your name alone for so long. So I think that was like, well, while we on the high, let's make the change now. You know I'm saying?

Eric: time. about the products.

Phone Home: Yeah.

2: Mm-hmm. that's for sure a legacy type company for sure. And they like, hey man, I know we getting cheap, we, our standard, we gotta get back to our standard.

Eric: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: Yeah. Yeah.

Phone Home: Yeah, because I mean, if you don't stick to the standard, like, shit, eventually the shareholders gonna lose money anyway.

Eric: All right. And you got to think, look at how Apple stores has been set up over the last 15 years. It ain't really about the product. It's an experience. You go in there and sell it. It's like even the Apple rollouts. They're more like events now. know what I mean? People want to see how they're going to roll out these new chips. It ain't about the chip. It's about how they're going to do it. You see this Apple event coming out. Y'all going to tune in. You know what I mean?

2: Mm-hmm.

3eezy Bih: Speak the iPhone speak down phone when he come because ⁓ you both. They say I read it so he said to him first So, you know this round the time they do be dropping the iPhone so

Eric: Yeah. Mm-hmm.

2: I wonder if he gonna, so like, is it the, I wonder how that transition is gonna go. Is this gonna be like his like, what is it called? Will Brian say he don't want like his retirement to it? Is it gonna be like that or is it gonna be the introduction to the next man up and this his shit?

Eric: going away from it.

3eezy Bih: I work with.

Eric: They're gonna have a PR person to come in there and find the best solution for it. It's gonna be fire though.

3eezy Bih: Hey, I'm alright to tell you the truth, it ain't gonna matter to you, because niggas like Biltz still gonna buy that bitch. They don't care if it's Tim Cook or the Rock.

2: I built me pre-order that bill for they sold it

Eric: So.

Phone Home: Yeah, I mean, I think that from that standpoint though, from that standpoint, like Apple can't really do no wrong. You know what saying? Unless they, you know, unless they came out and you know, it's some, you know, some Epstein type shit, Apple can't do no wrong. Like everybody who started buying Apple 10 years ago are going to be those same people buying.

3eezy Bih: No cap.

Phone Home: Apple 20, 30 years ago. You might have some people who go over to Samsung, Google and all that type of stuff, but pretty much everybody's on board. like that evaluation is going to stay the same. Like I'm not going nowhere. Like I said, it's like, there's some politics involved where it's like, you know, they pull some shit like Chad GPT or some, ain't nobody going nowhere. Tim Cook, he already gay.

3eezy Bih: you And they got it.

2: Yeah.

3eezy Bih: Thank

Eric: Yeah, right. Hey, you know what? That's what Tim Cook legacy is. That's what Tim Cook legacy is, not the gay stuff. Tim Cook legacy, I'm thinking about it, is the ecosystem of Apple. It's like under him, an ecosystem was created. Like you have the computer, you have the AirPods, you have the phone, and like you can't really maneuver without the other. Right, right. So he found a way to...

Phone Home: This ain't going on well,

3eezy Bih: But that's only thing I disagree with you on.

Phone Home: Niggas ain't going nowhere
