**Officially Ice** (0:29)
Put this shit on. We are here.

**Marc Lamont Hill** (0:30)
Are we starting?

**Joe Budden** (0:31)
They say that new Pooshie, he had ice ready to fucking loiter. Ready to stand in front of a store.

**Officially Ice** (0:40)
Little Jaywalk.

**Joe Budden** (0:41)
Ready to get some Jaywalking on, ready to commit some crimes, litter. Had him ready to throw his fucking some apple boxes on the floor.
Pooshie had him ready, Mona, just so you know. Mona was asking about how I felt about Pooshie. No, actually me and Mona were having a deep conversation about fucking race reparations and I just jumped in with some shit Pooshie said. That's how we ended up with Pooshie.

**Parks Vallely** (1:06)
That's literally what happened. That's what happened.

**Mona** (1:07)
Tell me about the future of Blacks in this country.

**Parks Vallely** (1:09)
In the words of Pooshie.

**Joe Budden** (1:09)
He was talking about the betterment of Black people in the future, how our great-great grandchildren could have a better life than us. He probably heard what Pooshie said.

**Parks Vallely** (1:17)
No, we didn't hear what Pooshie said. Oh, we lied. Oh, that's right.

**Marc Lamont Hill** (1:19)
No, we didn't hear what Pooshie said.

**Joe Budden** (1:21)
You've been here five years, Lies, Lights, Lies, and Action. Are you always act surprised when the lies get to going?

**Parks Vallely** (1:28)
You're doing shit so well.

**Freeze** (1:30)
You retell a story that just happened three seconds ago and lied to all of them.

**Parks Vallely** (1:33)
I met you in 2005

**SPEAKER_8** (1:37)
What year did I meet this, man?

**Joe Budden** (1:39)
I met him because of you.

**SPEAKER_9** (1:40)
Talk to me, stop talking to Ish to talk to me.

**Joe Budden** (1:43)
I've been since 2005, Lies, Lights, and Action. I get it.

**Mona** (1:48)
Ish introduced you to Ice.

**Joe Budden** (1:50)
No, I'm lying. That's more like it. I'm lying.

**Marc Lamont Hill** (1:53)
He is good.

**Joe Budden** (1:54)
Ish is why I kept Ice close.

**SPEAKER_9** (1:56)
Okay.

**Marc Lamont Hill** (1:58)
What happened?

**Parks Vallely** (1:58)
What you mean?

**SPEAKER_9** (1:58)
Who you knew first?

**Joe Budden** (2:00)
I knew Ish first.

**Marc Lamont Hill** (2:02)
Wait, how'd you meet Ish?

**Parks Vallely** (2:04)
Monopoly.

**Joe Budden** (2:06)
Spades.

**Marc Lamont Hill** (2:06)
Spades.

**Mona** (2:07)
Oh, a spades game.

**Joe Budden** (2:08)
Spades.

**Parks Vallely** (2:09)
I wouldn't think Ish was good at spades.

**Joe Budden** (2:11)
A home girl of mine was bringing somebody and Ish was the plus one. I'd have never invited no nigga like that into my spade game, into my home.

**Parks Vallely** (2:19)
Oh, you were.

**Joe Budden** (2:20)
And Ish was the plus one.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:22)
Got it.

**Joe Budden** (2:23)
So he came, ate mad food, hungry, in the bathroom a lot. Like, it was...

**SPEAKER_11** (2:30)
Oh, God.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:31)
Yeah.

**Joe Budden** (2:32)
But he did have a good...

**Parks Vallely** (2:33)
But he shit his crib on the first date?

**Joe Budden** (2:35)
I'm lying on Ish.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:37)
I'm lying on Ish.

**Joe Budden** (2:38)
But that's how I met Ish. And then Ish was cool with Ice. This before I knew Ish was cool with anybody that he talked to for 30 seconds.
So Ice was coming around, and Ice was kind of cool. So, then we started doing some of the same things.

**SPEAKER_12** (2:54)
Got it.

**Ish** (2:55)
Same thing, so?

**Joe Budden** (2:56)
Yeah, and then we all kind of just stayed there.

**SPEAKER_13** (2:59)
What year was this, fellas?

**Joe Budden** (3:00)
When I met Ish, I was over there, so I had to tell him to call it 4

**Ish** (3:04)
Damn.

**Joe Budden** (3:05)
I was that already, so I mean, it must have been 04, 5

**SPEAKER_14** (3:09)
You were still making new friends?

**Marc Lamont Hill** (3:11)
You were still making new friends?

**Joe Budden** (3:12)
Yeah, no. Me and Ish was great. That's when you bonded with the people that were into the things you were able to do and able to move a certain way. So we both were whores.
We both were whores and womanizers and we bonded. We bonded like that.
