Holiday prep should be simple—who’s cooking, who’s eating, and who’s bringing the meatballs. Instead, our week detours into the wild, the urgent, and the oddly hilarious: a viral assault on a mom and her nine-year-old, a Florida gas-station “rescue” that reads like a custody ambush, and a newsroom apology that says everything about performative remorse and nothing about repair. We share the laughs, but we don’t duck the hard stuff.

We open with short workweeks and Thanksgiving energy, then zoom into safety and instincts: why you lock doors at the pump, how to narrate safety to kids, and what to do when your gut starts yelling before your brain does. From there, we talk parenting under pressure—where accountability meets love. One of us lays out a line for his own kids: responsibility isn’t optional, and consequences teach what speeches can’t. We unpack peer pressure, the absence of leadership in teen groups, and how quickly “just following” becomes real harm.

Then we turn to the media moment everyone’s seen: a white anchor comparing her Black colleague to an ape, followed by the driest crocodile tears on local TV. We strip the apology down to parts—who it centers, what it avoids, and how companies dodge accountability with soft language and softer consequences. It’s not about piling on; it’s about standards, repair, and how workplaces can do better when the harm is public and plain.

To reset the mood, we go full fan mode with an R&B fantasy “Verzuz.” Michael Jackson vs Prince, Mariah vs Beyoncé, Usher vs Chris Brown—catalogs, features, and era dominance all get their moment. It’s a master class in how hits travel, how features stack wins, and why nostalgia still runs the room. We wrap with quick gems, Thanksgiving humor, and NFL picks you’ll argue with all week.

If you’re here for smart conversation that moves between culture, safety, music, and messy real life without losing the laugh, pull up a chair. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves a good debate, and drop your dream Verzuz lineup in the comments—we’re reading them.

SPEAKER_02

You can't just go to any Chinese place. Nah. You really can't.

SPEAKER_15

I don't I think there was one recommended to me, but I haven't been there yet. But the only good spot I remember was a place downtown in like the pavilion. It used to have a really good Chinese spot right there.

SPEAKER_04

Oh really? You know, if you think back to all the Chinese spots that we thought were banging as kids, them shits is trash, and then you realize how filthy the fucking place is. Yeah. It's disgusting. Cause remember it's Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

What? They got jumped.

SPEAKER_15

Wait, what?

Viral Assault On Mom And Child

SPEAKER_02

I mean, yeah. Those kids jumped her.

SPEAKER_15

I didn't hear about it.

SPEAKER_04

No? Yeah, so they like it's a video. It don't really show much of it, but that's little kids beating up the mother and her her kids. Her nine-year-old. It was a nine-year-old, right? A nine-year-old? Yeah, so the woman, she was 33, and her nine-year-old were taking uh they were walking, I think, from school. She picked him up from school, and a group of kids approached them and just started beating them up. Yeah. Just for no reason. At one point she was like, she couldn't do nothing. Her son couldn't do nothing. All she could do is look over. He's crying to her, like, help me. That's so sad. Didn't it say like she had some sort of like um issues with them prior?

SPEAKER_02

No, but didn't she have some sort of ailment or or something like that? I thought it came out later. Mister What?

SPEAKER_04

That's not in this one that I have.

SPEAKER_15

What? She had an ailment? She she had a What was her element?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I saw an interview where they talked about She they did do an interview with her, but I don't have that one. And I'm trying to think of what it was because otherwise I would have been boxing the hell out of them little bit. Oh, yeah. I've been using one of them as a bat. You got a like a bunch of kids jumping on you at the same time you're trying to protect your nine-year-old.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, it's right here. You it's it's audio if you wanna. I did have it.

SPEAKER_02

It wasn't here. You think about like you're trying to defend yourself, defend your child, and potentially not.

SPEAKER_04

They found them damn kids too. And oh my god, and uh social media ain't shit. I mean they is shit when they can't be shit, because they found the profiles of all of some of them kids' parents, and what? Yeah, you they all gone down. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09

After she and her son were brutally attacked with her young daughter just steps away, her legs are bruised, and it's hard for her to walk. But what hurts her the most is her children are still suffering. My son is uh he's very devastated.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's what I thought she was. Screaming, he's screaming, Mommy, are you there?

SPEAKER_09

You look like the type of thing. We've stopped we've stopped it after she was dragged to to the ground because of how brutal it is. Her son was beaten, and she says one of her one of the kids pulled her daughter's hair. Her daughter stood off to the side crying, watching her brother and mother get attacked.

SPEAKER_16

Nine-year-old. Oh, you're nine-year-old.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Mm-hmm. Yes, she wasn't beating all them kids. It was a lot of kids. Right. That's what I'm saying. It was a lot of kids.

SPEAKER_15

I'd have took one of them and made him an example. I'd have grabbed him by his ankle and started beating the hell out of other kids with that one kid.

SPEAKER_04

Well, you a guy. You you they probably wouldn't even bother with you. Oh.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_04

You're right. Because to attack a mother who has kids, your first instinct is to protect your kids. Right. So them kids knew that. They ain't stupid.

SPEAKER_02

So they knew what they was doing. I had read something um today actually about it saying like something like Oprah had donated money to her or whatever to help her or something. One million dollars, I think. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_15

Like, oh, that was her that she gave that one million dollars? Wow.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know how accurate. And she's shooting if she's like suing or pressing charges against the um parents. Sure. Everybody like the whole lineage would be at the stake. That those kids are like, that's nothing as far yeah. Like they terror like they've been terrorizing her for a while. Or like the town or the school or whatever. But that's crazy.

SPEAKER_15

You figure out her element, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Do you blame the kids or do you blame the parents?

SPEAKER_15

The parents, absolutely. And both. Both.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Absolutely. Absolutely. They all should go to jail. All of them. If they if that's what they want to live, if that's the type of life they want to live. I don't want to hear it like 10 years from now, oh I'm growing, I don't do that shit. No, you made you knew exactly what you was doing then.

SPEAKER_04

You know what that reminded me of? That show that I used to watch about which is the true story that happened about the name of the show. I can't remember. Um, but I was faithfully watching that shit. Um where they killed they killed the little Indian girl. Um, and then try to play it off like they didn't, but they was bullying her. They pretend to be her friend. It's it was on Hulu. What you say?

unknown

Huh?

SPEAKER_15

He said little Habib.

SPEAKER_02

No, I did not.

SPEAKER_15

Oh, that's not what you said? No, I didn't. They done killed little Hobby. That's not what you said. No. Oh.

SPEAKER_02

I certainly did not.

SPEAKER_14

I thought that's what you said. Where did you get I thought that's what you said?

SPEAKER_02

Little Hobby.

SPEAKER_15

I'm sorry, I thought misheard you. All right, um, no, yeah, my God.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know. I'm just so let me see if I can find the name of that show though. So, Mr.

SPEAKER_02

Like you got kids. So say like it was brought to you that like one of your sons um was caught and he was with a group of friends that ended up attacking some woman and her kids and like beat her or whatever. Like, do you expect that like for you to go to jail because of that?

SPEAKER_13

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

I'm not just gonna be like, Yeah, take me away because they're minors, right?

SPEAKER_15

So some somebody has to be held responsible.

SPEAKER_04

Under the bridge, that's what the name of that show was. Oh yeah, okay. Like the 14-year-olds killed another 14-year-old girl. Okay, yeah. I yes, I remember that. That show made me so fucking mad. I remember that.

SPEAKER_15

But no, I I I see what you're saying. Like, you know, should I get arrested for my child my child's actions? I I will be held, I will have to be held accountable for something. I don't know if arresting is, but I'm sure I'm gonna get sued and stuff like that. So that kind of accountability is probably worse because if you're living in a spot like that, you probably can't afford being sued.

SPEAKER_02

Because I mean, depending on the state, they could try them as adults. Yeah, they can't. So like Yeah, they can.

SPEAKER_15

It doesn't matter sometimes. You you make you make your own bed. So like you you fuck up like that. It's nothing I can do. I tried to stare you in the the right direction this whole time. If you decide to still do that bullshit, then that's where you want to be.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah, I'm saying like their parents were staring them in nowhere.

SPEAKER_15

So it's like and then I'ma still get I'ma still be held accountable for the lawsuits and stuff like that. So it's like if this is the way you want to learn, yeah, I can't do anything at this point.

SPEAKER_02

What if it was like your son gonna get five years, or you gotta do one year so he don't have to serve?

SPEAKER_14

Oh, you doing five years because what is he learning?

Parenting, Accountability, And Peer Pressure

SPEAKER_15

No, I know. You see what I'm saying? Like, what is he learning? He's not dad's gonna always take it. Yeah, like he's not learning uh being uh disciplined, he's not learning to take responsibility, accountability if I'm going to No, you you was out there, deal with it. I told you not to. I told you not to do this shit. I told you to get your education. Uh I'm I'm a big stickler on that shit. Like matter of fact, I had something I done threatened my son with military school. Really? I swear to God. I was and I was dead serious. If I can't discipline you enough so you have self-control and be responsible and accountable at the school that you go to, then I failed. And the if you can't follow my direction, then military school, you have to follow there. Turn his ass right around. Yeah. Right around. Grades are coming up fast as fuck.

SPEAKER_02

So I mean Well, I hate that you say like you failed.

SPEAKER_15

I don't think that that's no, no. I I but that's uh that's that's just me. I take it, I take it real personal because I I really invest a lot into my children.

SPEAKER_02

So it's like I sometimes it doesn't mean your child is bad, like yeah. Sometimes they're just influenced, so like they could be a great child, yeah, but they're influenced by that group and they're caught up in that one incident that turned bad. It doesn't mean that you did something wrong or didn't raise them right, or you know, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

I try to show them like all the avenues that could possibly happen to look out for. And I know that sometimes when you're talking to young kids, like they don't they don't see in front of their face too much. They they kind of just go with the flow, just try to fit in. And I've been that age before and I've done that before. So it's it's sort of like it's a fine line that you can do. So it's like I I know you know I'm doing the best I can, and I I know they're trying to do the best they can, but you gotta understand that there's consequences with the things that you do. So I if I I let at least let them know, like if you do that, these are the possibilities. So if you choose to, then you choose one of these possibilities.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like it has to do a lot also too, because when you you think about when we was younger, it's all about whether or not you want to follow the path, the path of somebody else, or you want to be your own person. Yeah. Because I know a lot of times when I could have been in dumbass situations and I'd be like, yeah, I'm not doing that. And it's not like, no, you're not gonna talk me into that. I'm not doing that shit. I'm gonna do what the fuck I want to do. So if anything that has happened, it's because I wanted to fucking do it. It had nothing to do. And so a lot of these kids don't have that leadership embedded in them. Right. So it's easy for them to fall into being caught up in some stupid shit. Yeah, a flock of sheep. Not even realizing that. And like the leader kids that are the ones that's actually the bad kids is the ones who coerce another kids and they're doing their bidding.

SPEAKER_17

Right.

SPEAKER_13

Doing their bidding?

SPEAKER_04

It's technically their bidding.

SPEAKER_15

I love the terms.

SPEAKER_02

Well, good luck to them. Good luck to all of them. And I I say that even the kids that did it because get them counseling. Their lives are forever changed now. Um and it could have went completely. Some of them won somebody could have died. Yeah. Yeah. It could have, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Now they gotta live with that, and they're gonna be sorry for for the rest of their life, and it's and it's sad that they don't understand that prior to, like, prior to that. There's no thought process on how this shit could go left. You see what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04

So that depends too.

SPEAKER_15

Like, nobody in the group was like, This is a bad idea. Like, we shouldn't do this.

SPEAKER_04

Right. Like, there's you might have had that person who was thinking that and be scared to say something. And and that show again is another proof that that happened. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, her pressure is the bitch, man.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it is. Yeah, we we had it when we was young, but again, you gotta be strong within yourself to be like, bitch, go do that shit to yourself. I ain't doing that shit.

SPEAKER_15

Fucking crazy.

SPEAKER_02

Well, you you guys were never like pressured into anything?

SPEAKER_15

Oh, pretty, a bunch of stuff. Yeah, yeah, and I was just like, fuck no. I know because it was breaking the fucking rules. Like, I it if it comes to the rules, eh, I could bend the rules. Law, nigga, I ain't going to jail for you. And I've I've been in plenty situations where I I walked away. Yeah. And matter of fact, I got a story. So one of my good friends. Anybody who knows me who went to high school know who my good friend is, right? Roberta. Flat. Um, so he had a girlfriend.

SPEAKER_02

You slept with her?

SPEAKER_15

No. Although, although wait, although, right? He thought, like, it was a I'll get into that later. He tried to fight me because of this shit. But anyway, so he had a girl that he thought somebody was trying to mess with her, right? So I had no idea. So I I had borrowed my mom's car to pick him up to go just driving. He told me, No, you bring me to this store. So he I think it was his aunt store or something like that. So we go to his aunt's store, and lo and behold, the guy who was messing with his girlfriend worked there. And I'm like, that's funny. Like, I why are we at your aunt's spot? And he just so happens to be here, right? So I'm laughing because I know exactly, exactly. So I'm we're walking into the store, and all the all the alarm bells is ringing in my head, like, we should not be here. But his it's his aunt's spot. So I'm like, he's not gonna do anything stupid in here. It's his aunt's spot. And I am driving my mom's car illegally. Like, I don't even have a license, but she let me use the car to drive to the store and back.

SPEAKER_17

Right.

A Wild High School Story About Loyalty

SPEAKER_15

I told her I was going to the store. I didn't tell her I was gonna pick up my boy and go to this to this spot. So I was supposed to be going to the store and back. That's how I usually get the car, you know. So we there, and he's just moseying up, and he's talking to the guy, and I'm like, and I'm looking at him, and then I just see him like there's an African cane, like a walking stick to the to his side. So he picks up the walking stick on the smoothest thing I ever seen him do. He picks it up and he cracks this man in his head. He just falls right to the front. I thought that man was dead. And I'm like, what the fuck? Like, I'm so out of it. So I'm like, first off, I I grabbed him by his fucking hand. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? Right? And he was just like, no, he talking to my girl. I was like, so the fuck. Oh, his girl was in the car with us. I forgot. I picked her ass up too. Oh my god. And I was like, I was like, nigga, I'm not even supposed to be driving this car. So I left his ass right there. Did you? I listen.

SPEAKER_02

So you drove away with his girl.

SPEAKER_15

I drove away with his girl in the car. And I I was like, nigga, I'm not even supposed to have this fucking car out here. The cops come with all this bullshit, nigga. What the fuck are you thinking? I don't give a fuck. I was like, nigga, I'm leaving you here. I'm bringing your girl home and I'm going home. I'm not getting caught up in your bullshit. Nothing happened after that, but I was just like, I am not, I am not a part of this. I am not gonna be a part of this. Ain't no fucking way that you just gonna walk me into this type type shit.

SPEAKER_04

I didn't and I it I without a heads up and not like nothing.

SPEAKER_15

And in instincts is like, as soon as we walked in this place, I just alarm bells like my my fucking instincts was like, get the fuck out of here. Because this as soon as I seen him, I was like, oh, it's something ain't right. But I thought it because it's his aunt's spot, he was just gonna like talk, talk it out or you know, argue, type of type type shit. I ain't think he was gonna crack him in the fucking head like that. I ain't I didn't know what happened to that dude after that. I I just left.

SPEAKER_02

After those two incidents, I was like, yeah, me and him, we gonna be cool, but from a distance. Like, I ain't nah. From a distance. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03

That's wild. Yeah, that's the one female I didn't fuck. I'm glad I never lived that type of stuff. That's the one female hated. Out of all of the kids.

SPEAKER_04

Florida Gas Station Kidnapping Attempt

SPEAKER_02

What's next? So we're going back to Florida. Hey, Florida, how you been? Been a while, huh? So 38-year-old Ivana Noble from Deerfield Beach, Florida, faces charges of false imprisonment of a child under 13 and burglary. So evidently she was at a shell gas station. Bitch look unhinged. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Um white people doing white things. That's fighting.

SPEAKER_02

A grandma stopped to refuel her um car, and it started smoking, so she had asked for help. And while she was standing um by the um driver's side of the door, this lovely woman handed over to her uh what appeared to be an Argentinian ID card. What? Um, claiming that the woman was her aunt. Um the grandmother said that she did not pay her much mind until uh Noble suddenly walked to the passenger side, opened the rear door where uh the five-year-old was sitting, and evidently she grabbed the boy's arm and said, I'm taking him. This child is the wrong color to be with this woman. The grandmother immediately stepped between her and her grandson, shouting for help. Um, they begin to struggle. And it says, Um, witnesses heard the grandmother screaming that someone was trying to kidnap her child. Um she's crazy. I don't understand. I don't know what um what color she was expecting the child to be and why she felt she was gonna be the savior of the child.

SPEAKER_13

It sounds like some shit.

SPEAKER_04

I would have had to beat the shit out of that bitch, but I get it. It was a grandmother.

SPEAKER_15

Grab the child.

SPEAKER_04

Like I would have fucked her up, ain't no way. I'm wondering if like But who don't lock their doors when they get out of here.

SPEAKER_15

Yo, my nephew, Spanish as fuck.

SPEAKER_04

I like I lock my doors though. Like when I'm pumping gas, it's weird, but I do it because I don't trust shit.

SPEAKER_02

It just seems off. It seems weird. Like the whole story? This woman is pumping her gas, you come walking up to the woman and show her Argentini ID.

SPEAKER_04

Like, what does that have to do with anything?

SPEAKER_02

What does that have to do with anything? And then somehow you notice that the there's a kid in the back seat, and you're like, wait, you know the right color palette? I feel like it was like set up, like because the grandmother had just recently got custody of the ass woman.

SPEAKER_13

Oh, she was trying to get rid of that mama.

SPEAKER_02

So I'm like, I feel like this was the setup. Yeah. Like maybe the parents or something was trying to get their kid back. Probably. Oh. Because it doesn't say why she got custody. But it's just weird that this random woman just comes up to you at the gas station and I'm Argentina.

SPEAKER_15

Let me get this baby. Yeah, like what?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that is very weird. So I'm not saying that odd things don't happen and people aren't crazy. Clearly. That's just so strange. That's really weird. But again, it's Florida, so I don't put much past.

SPEAKER_15

These are still human beings. I gotta think of some of those, the celebrities that have it's been coming out about and during the time of exactly, you know, and it's like the drug era. Yeah, no, I'm not like excusing anything, but it doesn't seem far-fetched that sugar exactly.

SPEAKER_15

They're doing what they know, they're doing what they know, and they think they can get away with it like they used to, but they can't because the times has changed.

SPEAKER_04

We run around here bumping and touching after they don't did that line. Not bumping and touching.

You know how the courts be ready to out there performing.

SPEAKER_02

He wasn't even back there.

SPEAKER_04

Crazy.

SPEAKER_02

They was like, you didn't hear the song playing in the background.

SPEAKER_04

He was performing. Yeah. Like. But you know, they always like the oh, it's his people, so it was him. Like, no, stop grouping me in with these motherfuckers who want to take do stupid shit. Like, those are the people you just need to separate yourself from. That's why I don't leave my house. But you hear? This is my house. Like, mm-mm. I just thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_13

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_04

What was he in there for?

SPEAKER_13

Something.

SPEAKER_02

You don't know? Yeah, I don't remember what it was.

SPEAKER_15

But you see, prize. Yeah, he got bagged.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Some uh fraud shit.

SPEAKER_04

For like the Obama.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_13

With his finger.

SPEAKER_02

We got uh who he got.

SPEAKER_15

Oh, okay. Who he got?

SPEAKER_02

So we got two groups, group A and group B.

SPEAKER_15

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

Who which group would win in an RB versus battle? Group A consists of Prince, R. Kelly, Chris Brown, and Beyonce. Group B consists of Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Usher, and Mary J. Blige.

SPEAKER_13

Group B.

SPEAKER_15

You talking about versus like hit for hit? Group B. Group B got them fucked up.

SPEAKER_02

I would say the same thing.

SPEAKER_15

Michael Jackson alone.

SPEAKER_04

As soon as he said Michael Jackson, I was like, Group B. That's all you need.

SPEAKER_15

Mariah got a Christmas song and a couple joints.

SPEAKER_04

And I Mariah has a lot of shit.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like Mariah has hits can go against Beyonce. Yes. Like she has enough hits to battle Beyonce's hits. And Michael has more hits than Usher at this point. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Even Mary got hits, though. Mm-hmm. Like people don't people think Mary don't have hits, but Mary got hits.

SPEAKER_02

Not that there's they both have heavy hitters on both of the teams. But yeah, just the mere fact that they had Michael Jackson on. And again, it's so funny when they split Michael and Prince. Yeah. And Michael always seems to take the top.

SPEAKER_15

Because that's that's what we hear the majority of the songs that we hear was Michael Jackson growing up. From from his uh Jackson 5 days all the way up to thriller and all that shit. And butterflies.

SPEAKER_04

Regardless of that though, like even though Prince wrote mad people shit and had mad hits and all that, it's still it's still it's still not.

SPEAKER_16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Because that's what people mo mainly will argue a lot about, the hits and shit that Prince did. But it's Michael. Yeah. And that's all you gotta say.

SPEAKER_02

So we got one more who you got. Another versus battle. It's ladies versus gents, RB edition. So for the ladies team, you have Brandy, Ashanti, Monica, and Keisha Cole versus Mario, Tank, Tyrese, and Lloyd. The girls.

SPEAKER_04

The girls. And when I say the girls, I mean I would take Brandy, Monica, and Keisha Cole over.

SPEAKER_02

They're a group.

SPEAKER_15

You saying song for song? Versus.

SPEAKER_02

And a verse, a versus battle, yeah.

SPEAKER_15

And male group has more.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, you mean song to song? Mario. Tyrese and Lloyd. So Tyrese.

SPEAKER_04

The crazy part though, a lot.

SPEAKER_02

Tyrese.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Signs of making love. That shit was.

SPEAKER_04

I feel like Tyrese has more hits than Tank. Yes, yes, he does. Yeah. Tyrese does have more hits than Tank. Um but Mario has the voice, but I don't think he has the hits. And I was gonna say that. I was gonna say people don't really fuck with Mario like that. Um but as much as you might not say that Ashanti has the vocals, she has hit.

SPEAKER_02

She has hit.

SPEAKER_04

She has hit. She has the hits. Yeah. Yeah, I'll go group A. Keisha Cole got hits too. I even gonna hold you. I'll go group A.

SPEAKER_02

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_15

Um Yeah, I'm with you, Nene. Uh Group A.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_15

Song for song versus Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. I like the lineup for Group B. Man, if you go hit for hit, mmm. They gotta have hard.

SPEAKER_02

What would you have switched out in order to make it a stronger uh battle against the females?

SPEAKER_04

Well, uh I would have switched out Lloyd.

SPEAKER_02

I was gonna say Lloyd.

SPEAKER_04

Um I would have put I don't even want to do that, but if you had to put Chris Brown in there, it they would have lost. Yeah. The females would have lost. You think so? I think so. Like, if you put Chris, you keep you keep Tyrese, I would take out Tank. I would take out Tank. I'm sorry, but I would take out Mario too. Because we talk about versus Justin Timberlake.

unknown

Why was I gonna say that?

SPEAKER_04

That would be a good that would be a good yeah. Justin Timberlake. Yeah. Yep, that'd be good.

SPEAKER_02

Um Do you think if you threw R. Kelly in there, you would feel different?

SPEAKER_04

Hit for hit? He They would have lost.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, they would have lost.

SPEAKER_15

R.

SPEAKER_04

Kelly with the verses, yeah. Yeah, R. R.

SPEAKER_15

Lost. R. Kelly, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Brown, and Tyrese. Tyrese?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Oh no. Yeah. They're over.

SPEAKER_02

Nobody fucking with the bitch dude. But it's the vocal Bible.

SPEAKER_04

She ain't got no fucking major hits. All she got is no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02

A lot of don't do that.

SPEAKER_04

Not a lot. No, I'm not a lot of major hits. She's not to R. Kelly. Not compared to R.

SPEAKER_02

Kelly. I could match you with R. Kelly's major hits with Brandy. You don't listen to Brandy enough to know her major hits. But I'm talking about. I don't, because I I don't see it. Because what you may, what y'all may like like some of his songs doesn't mean that they were a major hit.

SPEAKER_15

Right, right, right, right. I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Every song R. Kelly put out wasn't a major.

SPEAKER_15

You gotta, you gotta put together the craziest girl group to go against that lineup.

SPEAKER_02

Cause like I would put Chris, I would say Chris Brown as far as making it.

SPEAKER_15

I mean, he had most of TP2 was all hit records.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

You know what I'm saying? 12th Play was all almost all hit records, too.

SPEAKER_02

They wasn't all singles.

SPEAKER_15

No, all singles, but I'm saying, like, you could get two or three.

SPEAKER_02

That's what I'm saying. You may have liked them, but they weren't major, major hits. They weren't singles.

SPEAKER_15

They weren't from TP2, a lot of them were singles. T P2 had a lot of singles.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. 12 Play had probably one or two. Um, but then all his other he had he had a a couple. Yeah, I see what you're saying. That's easy.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I can name you 20 uh Monica major hits. No, I'm saying it's a group.

SPEAKER_04

I'm just saying, like, oh, I was just talking about Brandy P.

SPEAKER_02

That's why I was saying. If you threw R. Kelly in there, do you think that it would make that male group beat the female group?

SPEAKER_15

Oh. Yeah, I'm sure. There's a whole bunch of records. And I'm I'm sitting on the side of uh I don't I didn't listen to a lot of R. Kelly joints. I just know I had the TP2 album and I know what was playing on the radio in that era. Like R. Kelly was hard to get off the radio. He was hard to get off at that time, he was hard to get off the radio. And then he did a bunch of features that if we're gonna do features too. I know, right?

SPEAKER_02

I mean, if we're gonna do features too.

SPEAKER_15

I mean, in verses, they kind of do, right? They're bringing in features. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02

That's only even going to beef up the other side. Exactly. So I don't know.

SPEAKER_15

But then, but then if we still got Chris Brown on the team, I mean, that that should even it out.

SPEAKER_04

Chris Brown, yeah. I would like to.

SPEAKER_15

Can you throw Usher in there with all his hits?

SPEAKER_04

But that's what I'm saying. Like, if it's Chris Brown with all of those, I mean, that's a fight.

SPEAKER_15

That is a fight.

SPEAKER_04

Absolutely. That's a major fight. Absolutely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But I wouldn't go as far as to be like, oh, that's a clean sweep. No, no, I'm no, I wasn't saying the clean sweep thing.

SPEAKER_04

I wasn't saying the group thing.

SPEAKER_02

I was speaking for one person, period. I don't agree with the that's what I'm saying. I don't agree with the R. Kelly thing as a clean sweep against No R.

SPEAKER_15

Kelly versus Br Brandy? No, no, I wasn't saying that. No, no. No, I'm just saying, I was saying uh group-wise, I think the that group would clean them up pretty well. Especially if you uh and then justin Timolake, dog. I think him, I think him and Brandy will go neck and neck.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_15

You think I'm saying? So if they're going neck and neck, who covering who covering Chris Brown?

SPEAKER_02

Actually, I would put Brandy against Chris Brown.

SPEAKER_15

Oh, you what? Alright, so who covering up Justin? Monica. Okay, and then and then R.

SPEAKER_02

Kelly would be with but see, we didn't do the switch out for females. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We just did the switch out for males.

SPEAKER_15

So who would you put who would you switch out for the females?

SPEAKER_02

I put Mariah Carey in there to go against R. Kelly. Very true.

SPEAKER_04

You could put Mary J. Blige in there to go against R. Kelly. As far as hits. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You don't think so?

SPEAKER_04

Mary had a lot of major hits. What are you talking about? I don't think it would be a clean cleanup, but I ain't say it was a cleanup. I said you could put them two together.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

You wouldn't throw Beyonce in there and think that she would uh be able to.

SPEAKER_15

She had cleaned up somewhat. Yeah. She definitely cleaned up. I would have had a chance to.

SPEAKER_04

I would have had to put I know you would. I want to keep Tyrese in there. I know you said Mariah for Chris, but I'm like, I probably would have put Chris Brown in and Beyonce toe-to-toe as well. Yeah. Cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_15

Tyrese gotta get out of there then. He gotta move.

SPEAKER_10

Tyree. No, we keep seven singles.

SPEAKER_15
