[00:03:27] Speaker E: automatic that spits Next time if you tough, you talk and I know,
[00:03:39] Speaker F: I
[00:03:39] Speaker G: understand that Jalen Brunson may be on
[00:03:41] Speaker A: his way to New York. What more can you tell us?
[00:03:44] Speaker F: Yeah, there's no maybe about it. And this is something that has become pretty clear here in recent days. The Mavericks went into the offseason, you know, even this month, confident they'd be able to keep Jalen Brunson. That confidence has steadily diminished. And, you know, days ago, they knew, hey, Jalen Brunson is going to the Knicks.
[00:04:02] Speaker G: It's an awful idea.
And I like, Jalen Brunson's a fine player, but it wilds, pal. Bill Simmons put it perfectly when he called it the saddest sweepstakes ever. The Jalen Brunson Sweepstakes. Is Jalen Brunson One of the 10 best point guards in basketball?
Maybe he's 10.
[00:04:24] Speaker H: Yeah.
[00:04:25] Speaker G: Steph Jaw, CP3, Luca Dame, Trey, Kyrie, Drew. There's eight guys that are clearly better than him. What about the young point guards? There's Dejounte, Murray, SGA Garland, Lamelo, and Jalen Brunson. That's five names. He's somewhere in there. So somewhere from nine to 14 at his opposition.
Is he. What is he one of the 40 best players in the league?
I haven't made the updated list. Maybe he's 38. Maybe he's 46. So, yeah, I don't think it's going great for the Knicks, bro. I don't think that. I know everyone loves Wes and Leon Rose, and it's all part of some CAA master stroke of, oh, now we have these guys. We're gonna get superstars like Jalen Brunson, who we're gonna get after hiring his father and whose agent is the son of Leon Rose. So I don't know. I, I, I don't feel like it's going that great. I don't feel like it's a great plan, but maybe I'm wrong.
[00:05:26] Speaker D: But let me get specifically to this signing. It's fine.
[00:05:31] Speaker I: You're right.
[00:05:32] Speaker D: I don't know that. I don't think he's top 10.
[00:05:34] Speaker I: I mean, he might not be top 14.
[00:05:36] Speaker D: Trading their first round pick away. And for what?
[00:05:39] Speaker I: To go all in on clearing cap
[00:05:42] Speaker D: space in hopes of signing Jalen Brunson.
Look, I mean, Jalen Brunson is a nice play. Her the brother comes, hope he gets paid. But the Knicks are acting like he's kd. I'm gonna repeat Jalen Brunson.
The Knicks just hired this man's father as an assistant coach.
[00:06:06] Speaker I: This is what you do to recruit
[00:06:08] Speaker D: a player in college.
[00:06:12] Speaker I: This is what you do at Kentucky.
[00:06:18] Speaker C: Let me work.
Please let me work. Let me work.
Please let me work. Let me, Please let me work. Let me work.
Please let me work. Let me work.
[00:06:32] Speaker I: If you listen to the so called quote unquote experts on the national scale, yeah, they all suck. And they all, they're also like, like, I don't know, what's the word I'm looking for? Douchey. Like they're trying to preach basketball to those of us that know basketball and they don't know a damn thing they're talking about because there's this built in hatred for New York that is weird because it's not based on us winning. We haven't won in damn near 60 years. But there's no opportunity that national media gets to please let me work. This New York team, they take please let me work, and none of it's warranted. We are watching right now one of the most dominant playoff runs in the history of the sport. And yet there's still people coming out telling you, oh, you better look out for Joel Embiid.
[00:07:21] Speaker A: Yeah, why?
[00:07:23] Speaker I: If you listen to the so called quote unquote experts on the national scale, yeah, they all suck.
[00:07:36] Speaker F: Honestly, bring on anyone, I don't care the way this team is playing right now. Bring on anybody, because it's about them. It's not about their opponents, it's about them. And the level of esp. When you mentioned the bench and just feels like every time I watch the game or I listen to the post game and I hear Bill Peto tell me that it's the most dominant 10 game stretch in the history of basketball
[00:07:53] Speaker I: and I'm like, like let that sink in.
[00:07:54] Speaker F: What are we talking about?
[00:07:55] Speaker I: That means the Kobe Shaq Lakers didn't do this.
[00:07:57] Speaker B: Never.
[00:07:58] Speaker I: The Jordan Pippen Bulls didn't do this. The Bill Russell Celtics, the bird McHale Celtics didn't do this. Now those guys all want a championship.
[00:08:08] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:08:08] Speaker I: Obviously you got to win a championship. Sure to be thought of as one of the truly great franchises or teams in the history of the sport.
[00:08:15] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:08:16] Speaker I: But this 10, 11, 12 game run we in regular season, postseason has never happened before.
100 plus years of basketball.
[00:08:51] Speaker C: Let me work.
Please let me work. Let me work.
Please let me work. Let me work.
Please let me work. Let me work.
Please let me work. Let me work.
[00:09:11] Speaker A: What's going on? What up everybody? What up everybody? Welcome to another episode of mandatory Overtime. I'm your main man, DJ Highstar, here with another episode. The aim here, mandatory overtime, of course, is for us to recalibrate our definition of manhood in our community. That's what, one conversation at a time. The community, of course consists of you all. So, you know, we definitely appreciate you all for coming out and listening, tuning in.
You know, it's just simply an audio journal of an 80s baby. Social experiment, inconsistency. You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here listening to me. And for that I appreciate you.
I don't confuse this with the manosphere. It's just a place where the man is fair. So pull up a chair like comment, subscribe, Share.
Make some noise, y'. All. Cause your main man is here, you heard.
Get a little cup of, you know what I mean?
Little joints on the intro. Couple shots that I was taking. Couple digs. Now let's sweep it up. That's a track by Coco Jones. Salute. How you doing Coco? Respect, respect, respect. Sorry that we had to. I mean, sorry that we had to put him through that.
Salute, Spider.
But yeah, forgive me for the long intro. Just had to do a little quick tribute to my New York Knicks and the work that we're putting in now, you know, job isn't done. Ye. Her motto, business as usual. Job is not done. But I did want to show some. So show some love and also. And also highlight a little bit of hate and some of the doubt that the Knicks were getting, or Jalen Brunson more specifically was getting when they first signed Jalen Brunson. So salute to the Knicks for working hard. We have swept the Cleveland, excuse me, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
So yeah, there's that.
You know, after sweeping Philly and after winning.
What is that, four straight or three straight with Atlanta, you know, pretty dominating again, record setting playoff run. We already know what the goal is in front of us though.
And with San Antonio and OKC playing the way that they're playing, we're not really scared about none of that stuff over there. So salute. Salute to all the Knicks fans out there having a blast. Turn up, you know what I'm saying? Turn up. Pop, pop, yo. I mean, you got to just pop your. Yo, Poppy. That's what I meant to say.
Yeah, Salute. Though, of course, I got a Russian sound engineer and, and a check 1, 2, a check 1, 2. And although like that, we are representing New York this week, of course, still reporting live from Charlotte, America, y'. All. 704, 980.
What's happening?
[00:12:24] Speaker D: Like that. Like that, yo.
[00:12:25] Speaker A: Yeah, so, yeah, definitely Salute to the Knicks.
Wanted to do some revisions from last week. I was listening back and I was talking about the Kevin Hart roast.
The stuff about like Shane Gillis was kind of in a vacuum. The things that I've seen from Shane Gillis since the week has started. I've heard more and more come up about him, of course, kind of being on the same levels of racism as Tony Hinchcliffe and all of them. But my point remains. If anything, I should have kind of doubled down and went harder pause apart in the left on that point. But yeah, I, you know, the racist jokes a lot of times aren't funny as more or less they're insulting or they aim to be insulting or you know, looking to pierce some kind of emotion or whatnot. So it's, it's lazy, it's low hanging fruit. Chelsea Handler actually said some great things about it with Dion Cole on like a Dion Cole podcast, I want to say. But she was giving her kind of her reaction to the, to the roast as a whole. And we'll, we're gonna get into that a little bit, a little bit later with Kevin Hart and what he's doing out here making his rounds.
However, you know, shout out to the Knicks, y'. All. I mean, shout out to the Knicks. Like I said, we don't want to over celebrate or anything like that, but salute to the Knicks. We on the way to the finals or awaiting the winner of San Antonio spurs and OKC Thunder so that we can see who we play. But listen, man, I'm proud. I'm proud of my guys, man. Proud of my guys. Everybody's playing extremely well.
My predictions are looking pretty good and all of that, but, you know, just happy.
See here? So let's do this. Let's go ahead and get the show started.
How we normally do.
Figure out what's going on.
[00:14:29] Speaker D: Today's mathematics. Yo, no disrespectful. We ain't in all of that, son.
[00:14:33] Speaker J: Build. Destroy the mentality of self and those around self to add positive energy to every nation. To build, you must first start from the root, which is the knowledge foundation.
And I don't want to. The highest peak. To destroy is to eliminate and destroy any and all negativity that enters my cipher of supreme harmony.
[00:14:53] Speaker D: Peace, God.
[00:14:54] Speaker J: Peace, God.
[00:14:55] Speaker A: Come on, son.
[00:14:57] Speaker D: I know you gonna dig this.
[00:14:59] Speaker C: Do the knowledge.
[00:15:01] Speaker A: All right, so first piece of wisdom, of course, gonna come from cousin Jerome.
Let's see here.
This is from Katherine Hepburn. It says if you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.
That. Okay, we got another one that says today's mighty Oak.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, Cousin Jerome.
First of all, I want to say this quote is by. Let's see here.
The quote is by David Ick or something like that. But today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut. Hey, you know, caught in the left, champ that held its ground. Again, I get the premise of that quote. But gotta. Gotta put part in the left where. Where applicable.
All right, let's see here. The job of the Department of Defense is to keep America safe from our enemies. But we can't do that if some of those enemies lie within our own ranks.
Ain't that the truth, Baby Ruth?
All right.
And.
We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves. Brother Malcolm X said that.
So, yeah, shout out to Cousin Jerome for the wisdom. Of course. Per usual, a couple things from Bling and from Taz. Salute to Bling. Brotherly love to my brother Bling.
He sent me a couple things, but.
And. And like I said, Brother Taz sent a couple of things over.
Brother bling. Share Matthews. 5, 15, and 16.
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth life unto all that are in the House, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father, which is in heaven. Grand rising. Salute to my. To my brother Bling for that. All right, you know, I mean, what version of the Bible? That was a traditional version.
I wasn't ready to get into my meaning all of that, but nevertheless, got another piece of wisdom from Bling. Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationships, not with your job, not with your money, not with your circumstances, but with you. That's tough.
All right, so salute, man. Salute to my frat brothers, brotherly love. To my cousin.
Cousin Jerome, of course.
And yeah, shout out to our.
Our brotherly love, or. Excuse me, our building wisdom segment for the week. Now, this week, we don't have any emails or anything like that or voice notes to play, but I did have a couple of random stories this week. First off, brotherly love. Shout out to my brother Sock, of course, fat boy Q for coming through and coming by.
They helped me put together a grill. Oklahoma Joe's canyon combo. Okay, so it's charcoal propane with the smoker on the side or whatnot.
Yes.
Talk about grown man type of stuff. That's what we was doing, y' all grown man things. So that went on. And then, you know, we. We built up the grill. But also my mom, she has a gazebo in her backyard, so I helped to hang a ceiling fan in the gazebo and also put up some lights. Put up some patio lights in there.
So that was all good.
Pretty. You know, men. Men completing tasks, you know, sometimes that's just truly the crux of the matter at the end of the day. So at the. You know, putting that stuff together really felt fulfilling. You know, again, the. The big drum on the grill primarily had to just put the legs on and then. And build the smoker oven and attach that to the side. So. So he's pretty Gucci with that.
So that was one thing that we did this past weekend. But also see what else I had written down outside of watching the next sweep, of course.
Yes, There's a couple poker things that went down, but we had a great Memorial Day poker little event at. Excuse me, not little event, but poker event over at Q's.
You know, Q hosted rather. And so with.
With that in mind, we had a cash game start off the week and then putting. All right. And then had John's place on Tuesday, right fort me of South Carolina.
So I go down there and play at John's place.
One of the guys that I'm pretty All right. With his name is Ed.
All right. Ed looks like Gilbert Godfrey in the face as far as eyes squinty, all of that type of stuff or whatever. Cool. Well, what I felt like was a cool white guy. But this goes to my point from last week almost, but. And it's not. Well, all right, let me get this out first. Flush this out, and then I'm gonna go ahead and follow up with my. With my feelings about it. But Ed, he's dealing or whatnot, and he's, like, lightening up the table so that the table could feel fine and, you know, and kind of welcoming whenever it comes to playing the game and stuff. And so for whatever reason, Ed goes.
He's in the middle of some dealing, and he goes, because I got my mind on my money. And he turns to me and looks at me like I'm supposed to finish the line.
I got my mind on my money. And he points at me. Y' all mind you one of maybe three black people in the bar, but definitely the only black person at the table playing poker. I was. I was left speechless. Well, I not even left speechless. I just didn't say nothing, right? And, Ed, come on, man. Come on. He wants me to join in with the karaoke negative edition.
Negative, brother. It's not happening, man. All right. You're not going to get me to coon around and anything like that, brother. No, no, sir. All right.
I did want to say in my money on my mind.
I ain't lying, y'.
[00:22:12] Speaker D: All.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: I did want to say it a little bit, but, nah, brother, you can't get that off of me. Nah, bro. All right. It's not the right. It's not the right setting. It's not the right setting. So salute to poker night and. And everything out there, you know, shout out, shout out, shout out to poker night in Fort Mill, South Carolina. I don't know how many more weeks I got out there. I did wear my Knicks jersey out there because I know that there's some Cavalier fans out there, so wanted to flex a little bit, but let's move right along here.
All right? So it's moving along again. I alluded to it earlier, the Kevin Hart situation. Let's talk about it real quick. Of course, his roast, it got a lot of backlash, got a lot of talk, and it went viral, mostly because the.
The. The poor taste in a lot of the jokes, the lynching jokes, slave ship jokes, George Floyd jokes. Again, where.
Let me just say this before I continue real quick, George Floyd and Rodney King are black. Men, right? They're brothers. They're part of our community. They're ours.
They're ours. Right.
But they are not the like the end all be all martyrs at the top of the totem pole. I don't know how else to explain this to, to white people or white people that need to hear this rather, but these guys are not the martyrs for us. They're more. And I don't, I'm sorry to really group Rodney King into this because Rodney King's still alive.
Well, was, you know, still alive after the situation with, with the police, but.
And George Floyd lost his life on camera. But the George Floyd situation, that's all that seems to be more of a dog whistle from racist versus again a martyr for, for black people.
Again, he was a, a black man that should not have been killed, period.
That's, that's where it starts and ends at. So it's nothing.
I don't care what the character of the man is or anything like that. He was unjustly killed by the, by the police, at the hands of police and at the hands of people that should have been serving.
So we, I don't know, I just have to say that he's not the martyr that white people try to make him out to be to get under our skin. It's like kind of white people screaming and word to us or whatnot. Like, come on.
It's a little lazy. Gotta come better than that to a lot of black folks with some self restraint now there's still some black folks that have a low tolerance level for a lot of that, that type of nonsense. So you know, to each his own. But it's not, it's not clever ever to, to say any of that. But moving right along, Kevin Hart, he does the interview with Breakfast Club.
His excerpts were very dismissive. I really don't even want to give it the light like as far as playing it again. But they were very dismissive, especially to the Floyd family and in the things that George Floyd and his family have have to endure on a day to day basis with protecting his legacy. It was very dismissive. Kevin Hart was essentially saying comedy is comedy. We know that there are certain people that are going to take it too far.
We know that there are no bounds with the comedy that we're doing in roasts.
And I had little to no control over what other comedians are going to say. So and, and left it at that. And it was very lazy but very Kevin Hart. I don't know how else to say it. It's very Kevin Hart. I've, I've stopped rocking all the way with Kevin Hart as far as like his, his products and, you know, the movies and content and stuff that he puts out a while ago, man. It's just that he is a salesman at the end of the day, a slick ass oil salesman. So even when he's being sincere, he still comes off as a, a car salesman or something like that. Like, it still comes off like you gotta, you know, he's, he's putting on a show or presenting something to you every time that he talks and presents itself, you know, whenever he would take itself to the Breakfast Club early on in his career and that was starting to show as far as the way that he would talk. Very politically correct and protective of his relationships. You know, I took heed to that, but I kind of admired it and because it was almost like a routine to me. Like the same way that he does stand up and that's a routine or an act. Whenever he presents itself to talk in the media or talk out in public, it always seems like an act or a performance. So it lacks, you know, sincerity or genuineness whenever he's talking about these things. And it always comes off like a politician or a salesman and, you know, yeah, it's up to believe. Tough to believe his sincerity with any of that stuff.
So that's where I'm at with it. I'm. I'm disappointed, you know, again in Kevin Hart kind of dismissing the Floyd legacy the way that he did and, and skipping out on the blame essentially with that stuff. That is. It sucks. And it is. What it is, is what we get with a lot of these celebrities. You know, they're not, again, it.
They're looking to save themselves. I mean, a little philanthropy that they do or job creations and stuff like that that they do. They're looking to get big pats on the back and adoration and stuff like that. And it's so. It's. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm conflicted with these celebrities, especially our black celebrities. But Kevin Hart, I don't know, bro.
With. With regards to all of that, the roast and all of that.
Seriously. I don't know. I don't know. That was in poor taste, my brother.
All right, so gonna move along here.
Wanted to talk about Ray J real quick.
Ray J fights in.
Let me. I'm gonna draw a line to how this is parallel, but Ray J just fought in Aiden Ross brand Risk event. He puts on like boxing matches this week, this past week, it was like a UFC format that they did mixed martial arts in. Ray J's opponent was Super Hot Fire.
People that don't know Super Hot Fire had a, he had viral meme where he's like, where they. Outside, he's standing with his friends outside after he's in like a battle rap and he just like kind of ethered the opponent and you know what I mean? And like his, his friends and all of them, well, he's just looking straight ahead with glasses. It's probably from about 10 years ago, but he's been a, you know, F list, G list celebrity for, for a minute. No shade to him. But I'm just saying that's where he's kind of known that in my, in my space or in my world. But he, he knocked Ray J out, essentially.
They're boxing and he knocked Ray J out again. Ray J with the thirst to be on camera or in front of the camera and to any, any views is good views or any attention is good attention. Like, it's, it's gotten him knocked out with a knot on his head and he's damaging his legacy, you know, one play at a time with these things. So I don't know, I pray for the brother Ray J. You know, I can't really say brotherly love all the time, but that, that attention is a drug. That, that fame and that attention is certainly a drug.
Let's see here, girl together. And I want to talk, and first, before I get to this, this manhood stuff, but with the Ray J fight and then also with the Kevin Hart thing there in, in bed, so to speak, business wise, with these white people or white companies.
Kevin Hart with Netflix and then Ray J, you know, whether it's Ray J, super High Fire, Michael Beasley, Lance Stevenson, any of these guys, they're getting a bag from Aiden Ross. We know in hell, you know, complex this Aiden Ross character is and problematic.
I have a problem with both of those situations from the jump. You know, it doesn't. I, I didn't support the Brand Risk event by like watching it or anything like that. I have seen clips and then with the Kevin Hart roast, they said that Michael Shea has posted a picture of the writers from the roast.
And knowing that all the writers are white, I received a lot of those jokes differently.
So, yeah, it just feels weird. I, you know, I feel a certain type of way with us, you know, allowing our cachet to be used for entertainment by white people and stuff like that or by any other culture, really, at the End of the day. So that. That was kind of, whatever, cringy a little bit.
However, wanted to talk about accountability with manhood and, you know, again, with first and foremost, being accountable as a man is paramount. Right.
To just how you move around. But the other thing is, like, having respect for other men.
I just wanted to touch on that, really. I think this also very key is respecting other men's, you know, ground or the earth. The earth is all of ours, in other words. Yeah. And. And I kind of move around with a healthy respect for, you know, that other men were made or raised like I am, and that the same things that I won't tolerate, they won't tolerate. So I won't look to deliver any kind of communication that I wouldn't receive the right way, if that makes sense.
So, you know, again, I.
It's my feels this week. It's kind of a little bit abstract this week, but is more or less what I've been feeling like last couple of weeks with regards to manhood in the way that people move around and stuff like that. It's like, have a healthy respect for.
For this turf that we're on, which is earth, and. And all the men that are created and women, of course, but these other men that are created just understand, like, everybody bleeds the same way. We all put on our pants the same way and just have a healthy respect for. For everyone out there and all of our gentlemen out there, you know.
Yes, yes. But now that we've acknowledged all of the gentleman, it's time to get into some gangster.
It's time for hot star bars, y'. All. Not classical, so to speak. All right, I don't got classical, but in the efforts to celebrate New York and the New York Knicks, we will bring back a New York staple.
You know, four high star bars this week. And celebrating the freestyle. Not only the freestyle, though.
The Freestyle in the Basement.
All right, I don't know at the time if BET was trying to portray New York or D.C.
because of where they were, but, you know, shout out to Rap City, the Basement, Joe Claire, but Big Tigger and all the other hosts after him.
Salute, brother. Love to y'. All. But today I want to go through a couple of my favorite freestyles from Rap City in the Basement. All right, let's do this.

Come on, y'. All.
To the New York Knicks, man, the whole organization. All right. Special brotherly love out to my brother, Mitchell Robinson. Man, get your pinky straight, brother. I'm brain.
Like I told y', all, Carl Anthony town still looking like a good underdog, make money type of pick on the finals mvp. Don't say that. I didn't tell you. I personally, I don't gamble on my team. All right, we're going to keep that going, superstitious type of guy.
But I'm just giving y' all that free play. It's free money out there, man.
All right? But yes, definitely. Salute to the New York Knicks. All right? And we just wanted to. To end it on this. All right? Matter of fact, before I end this out, or close us out, rather, I Just wanted. Well, I'll do the prayer later. I'll do the prayer after this. How about that? How about that? So let's just. One word from our sponsors.
Listen.
[00:58:11] Speaker K: Start spreading the news. The New York Knicks are the junior varsity to no team ever.
They are, in fact, on the kind of heater that historically, only the very greatest teams and very greatest players have ever matched. And they absolutely could win the title in the next couple of weeks. Let me lay this out for you. The Knicks are the fifth team ever to win 11 straight playoff games in a single year. The others featured in chronological order. Magic and Kareem Duncan and Robinson, Shaq and Kobe and Stephen kd. Just digest that for a moment.
[00:58:45] Speaker A: Let's just digest that for a moment. As Greeny says, we gotta pause at 34 seconds in because what he just
[00:58:51] Speaker B: said blew my mind when I first.
[00:58:52] Speaker A: Y' all can clearly hear this is a borrowed or repurposed joint video. I'm gonna try to go back to the Greeny clip so that we can, you know, keep lauding the Knicks with their. With their achievements. Hold on.
[00:59:07] Speaker K: And among those, the 2017 warriors had the best point differential. Okay? They entered the Finals outscoring their opponents by 196 points. These Knicks are a plus 271 in the playoffs. That is 75 points better than a team that was so good that people said it was ruining the sport. But here's the thing. You know all of that already. What you want to talk about is an easy path to the Finals. So let's talk about easy paths. Did you know that none of the last three NBA champions ever faced a team seated higher than fourth?
[00:59:37] Speaker A: I don't think you did.
[00:59:38] Speaker K: Last year, OKC, they played the eight, the four, the six. And the fourth year before that, Boston, they played the eight, the 4, the 6, and the 5. Before that, Denver, they played the 8, the 4, the 7, and the 8. The point is, this is nothing new, so let's stop talking about it. And then finally, there's this. The enormous Knicks will have played four games in 23 days.
There are only three prior teams to have that profile since the playoffs expanded. They were the 2017 warriors, the 2001 Lakers, and the 99 Spurs. All three of them won the Finals in five games. So whether you love or loathe New York and its teams, just be aware of this. The Knicks are not lucky. They're not a fluke. They're not the jv. They are right now playing about as well as any team ever.
And in about two weeks time, they absolutely might win this whole damn thing.
[01:00:38] Speaker A: So brotherly love to Mike Greenberg Greeny. As we all know, I'm in love him. And I'll shout out and brotherly love to Mike for speaking truth to power. All right, now, with all of that said, though, now this next part.
Supreme faith that's in God. This part comes straight from the heart. May the ego and the hubris never break us apart. And from one brother to another, if nobody's ever told you before, I love you. All right, peace. I'll catch y' all next time.
[01:01:12] Speaker D: Hey, everybody, it's closing time.
[01:01:15] Speaker K: You don't gotta go home but you can't stay here.
[01:01:24] Speaker D: Closing time to the knowledge I know
[01:01:30] Speaker A: you gonna dare this
[01:01:34] Speaker C: Use a freaky ass.
[01:01:43] Speaker D: Hey, you don't call that ex blackly
[01:01:47] Speaker I: Mama got that bunch of ex blackly
[01:01:51] Speaker E: Hip hop, hip hop, hip.
