Mine is called Overqualified by Durand Bernard.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Every single day there's some kind of catastrophic event happening or, you know, Trump signs another fucking, you know, piece of paper, toilet paper.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I was going to say, I haven't actually heard what he's had to say. So if we have a little bit to play, then I'm more than.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Who was the winner, anyways? Do we know who they are? Did we talk about them? No, this is years ago. No, I'm saying, but Lotto is where she is, and where is the winner of that show? This is the worst gift. Anyways, keep going.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I was about to say, again, he still sounds like he's speaking from a privileged standpoint.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
It's not smoke, though. It's literally just addressing commentary that's going back and forth. I don't have anything personal against the guy, but the fact of the matter is that it still sounds like he's speaking from a privileged position, because like Parks just said, it's not... Just because you're on a major doesn't guarantee that you're going to have all of that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
And it just seems like... You're trying to get part of them all.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Okay. No, it just seems like, like I said, he's speaking from a privileged position. And like I said as well, that it might be an antiquated thought process.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
So it's the exception to the rule. And so it's kind of like, you know, when they use the success of a black person to say, see, racism doesn't exist. You know, there's a opportunity is is bountiful. No, the fuck it's not. You know what I'm saying? Like that's it seems like he's making, you know, kind of trying to create that kind of argument. And it still falls a little flat to me.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
We don't really get shit anymore, according to Trump.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
And that's why I keep saying it's an antiquated thought process.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
That was a logical way to perceive what he said.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
But you put a tweet like that out into the ether. Not everybody's going to agree with you. It's going to create discourse. It's going to create conversation.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
You could have used it as a bed underneath your night school shit.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Yeah, I mean, like, nobody's disputing his legendary status in the game. It's just, you know, sometimes. Not even a little bit.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Friend of the show! Friend of the show. Friend of the show.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
First, I still, I have to acknowledge, she was in Paris Fashion Week. Holy shit. Whoever her team is, she won. She won. She won, she won, she won. Hands down, she was that girl at Paris Fashion Week. Just had to say that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Yeah. Because I didn't see it. Because everybody was posting Dochi because she won Paris Fashion Week. She looked great. Amazing.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
And from what I understand, she herself is pretty sexually fluid.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
So you feel like that was her alienating a certain portion of her fan base just by saying something like that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I do not think that that, I do not think that she.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
And that's all you got to do sometimes. Touche. Exactly.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Don't. Be on the other side of it. Mark out. And then at the same time, I'm quick to offer somebody grace when they are... have newly been thrust into like the upper echelon of fame. You know what I'm saying? Like you're not always going to have, you know, to say the right thing. You're not a fucking robot. You know what I'm saying?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
So you're going to say something and you're being cheeky and facetious. And then all of a sudden the internet's coming after you and you're like, wait, hold on one second here. I just like a lot of butt play with, you know, in my sex life and straight guys tend not to fucking like that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I think that that was what she was leading to. And this was just like a really shortcut in terms of explaining that that is her preference.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Why she had a fucking incredible year. It was a fucking incredible year.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
But we're literally seeing videos of her four years ago manifesting the success that she has right now sitting in her room. Like, you know what I'm saying? Just hoping against hope that this pans out for her.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Yeah, and you see the kind of- This ain't her first mixtape.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
And you see the culmination of all of that hard work, specifically over the course of this last year. Like, her tiny desk, that was one of the best of 2024. Like, that shit was fire. Her performance at the Grammys, her winning best rap album. Like, all of this is just, it's part and parcel with all of the work that she has put in.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
You don't just get to that level of talent just by fucking accident.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
That's true. That's absolutely true. Gwen Stefani walking around with like the... Bro, nobody cared.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
She was public about the postpartum that she experienced after childbirth, and also she has had some insecurities with her physical appearance as a result, and...
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Were they specific about it being a baby, like newborn baby?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
They just naturally just like kind of like rotate their body and float that up.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
No, actually, that's kind of crazy that you would say that because exactly to Ice's point, how fucked up it is out there, it would be much easier for y'all to find somebody than it is for me.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
It's called a gift and a curse for a reason. I know you don't know anything about that. First card. It's a man or Daisy. No, no, no, no. Daisy can swim. Daisy can swim.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
And Daisy would just be so easy to save. I'll just put her on my head and then, you know, hold on to my man and let her go.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Don't keep that narrative up. That's like really, that's super fucked up and I will fight you, you know, on the fucking BTS camera. That's bullshit. No.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
That doesn't even seem physiologically possible.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I mean, they did. They tried to impeach him for, you know, getting his dicks up.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Oh, yeah? I'm just wondering if, like, the BDE was actually BD.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
It's a logical question, you know, to ask right after hearing that he was, you know, on Air Fuck One.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I just thought she might have volunteered the info.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
That was hate. It's not hate. Actually, it's not. It's just the opposite. A study came out that people fare better when they have a female doctor or female surgeon, especially a black one.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Probably because maybe other members of the family might.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Stepchild. I mean, I feel like there's a genre there.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Because if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to look at your pretty face, motherfucker. Because my neck was only about this much mobility about 20 minutes ago.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Well, yes, I did have one where I almost died.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
For the record, no, I wouldn't. Just saying. These are the people in my family that will get the stuff.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I mean, no, it's gradual. Like it probably started there, like minor.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I... can't necessarily speak for myself um but i'm sure yeah what's your group chat be saying yeah put it on someone else yeah i mean yeah y'all ain't see the mufasa vid drop and go run to a closet no no you wouldn't you would have needed to see more so which one did you see that made you do it Me, I said I didn't do it.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
You know, Chris Brown's pictures kind of had women, you know, little... Going to work. Yeah, probably, yeah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
How old was he at the time? Wasn't he like in his 30s? Like early 30s?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Or was it her? Yes. It's the group chat. It's the group chat.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Listen, I'll just read what they each had to say, and then we can proceed to, you know, converse about that. This is Drewski's statement. Statement about what? What happened? So they've been named in... By a Jane Doe. In Puff Lawsuits.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
So Drewski said, this allegation is a fabricated lie. I wasn't a public figure in 2018. I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation. So the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish. Good choice of words.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I'm fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to peddle false narratives.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I'm going to say that it sounds pretty preposterous.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
He said, my heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I am fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood, blah, blah, blah.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Boy, I'll tell you what. This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I know who I am. I know who you are. Keep your head. That name will be cleared. Shit's stupid.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Yeah, the problem is that I probably keep exacerbating it because I won't leave the gym.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Ice, continue, please. Is there any more to it? No, that was what's next. That was the most ludicrous part.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Wait, I thought I had to wear a snowsuit. No. I thought we had to, like, you know.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
How'd you know it was going to be a freak off to avoid it? I wasn't there.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Go sit down. Go get happy. How about that? I can understand the first time that she made the statement. It was like, you know, I'm sure she was inundated with a lot of people saying something. So she wanted to perhaps give some clarity. Now... Marriage, kid born, abort mission. Abort mission.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Mark, were you worried that he was going to spend it immediately?
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I think that's commendable. Mark is a piece of shit.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I was about to ask if you take his book's money out of his account.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
We ain't trying to joke. I'm there with you.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
And I'm like, there might be a legitimate reason for it, like a chemical imbalance.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Give an example of a time where it's applicable to you.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I don't think so. I think everybody can see that.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
He mentions that she's got a problem with how much he lets their son cry and then mentioned sleep training. I don't know this. Is there a general rule of thumb when it comes to sleep training? Yes. And letting them cry it out versus.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
You get the feeling that the child is very young.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
I'm also wondering if the reason why he's letting his child cry it out is because it's a boy child. I'm just wondering if that's like a factor that might be playing into this. Might be.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
No, I mean, like, yeah, I mean, like it goes back to the whole Nelly thing of, you know, my daughters can come home and stay for as long as they want. But my sons that, you know, TikTok motherfucker.
The Joe Budden Podcast
Episode 807 | "Reverse Card Day"
Exactly. And it's just like I think that that lends to what toxic masculinity actually is, is not letting male children or like understanding that you need your male children need comfort. and don't always need to be treated harshly because they're a man. You know what I'm saying?
