Speaker 1: Ra jy'all was still talking about it.
Speaker 2: Man, y'all, y'all hit us up, man, y'all blowing this
Speaker 2: my phone up, talking about these dog on having a
Speaker 2: friendship of someone of the opposite sex, and Afrita said
Speaker 2: that she gonna have to have a what you said, mustache.
Speaker 3: And whatever gotta be real big mustache, no teeth. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, freheaded scaley way, I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Hand bag all that something got to be wrong with her.
Speaker 1: I understand that. I wish you should have put that
Speaker 1: in a minute. What you're talking about, bro, like some
Speaker 1: thunder what you're looking at? I don't want your phone.
Speaker 1: The show ain't listen.
Speaker 2: Last week, we talked about the new dress call at
Speaker 2: sik University. The school will now prohibit students from wearing
Speaker 2: things like bonnets, do rags, house shoes, and revealing clothes
Speaker 2: in the classroom, uh, in the cafeteria and in official settings.
Speaker 2: The university president, doctor Mark Brown, says that the new
Speaker 2: guy lines will help the students prepare for professional environments
Speaker 2: after graduation. But the students at the university have now
Speaker 2: entered the check. Now, oh you want to talk about
Speaker 2: a dress code like oh, they say, oh, you want
Speaker 2: to talk about a dress code when we're in a
Speaker 2: whole housing crisis. Uh, they say, instead of worrying about bunnets,
Speaker 2: the schools should be prioritizing their housing and financial problem.
Speaker 2: Junior class president Leah Purnell says, Uh, the students have
Speaker 2: recently dealt with bats in their dorms and some freshmen
Speaker 2: were even, Uh, you know, we're even previously placed off
Speaker 2: campus and off campus hotel because of their housing issues.
Speaker 1: So the students have so do the students have a point?
Speaker 2: Should the university do be more focused on issues like
Speaker 2: housing than a dress code?
Speaker 1: Are? My thing is why not?
Speaker 4: Both students are not wrong or whatever, but if they
Speaker 4: if you got to stay in a hotel, just make
Speaker 4: sure you don't have no damn bundy on when you
Speaker 4: get the campus to go to your class.
Speaker 2: You know that one has absolutely nothing to do with
Speaker 2: the other. You know what I'm saying, And I understand. Uh,
Speaker 2: those students are absolutely correct about having bats in the
Speaker 2: dorm in housing christs, I think all universities dealing with
Speaker 2: housing crisis or whatever. They are overbooked or have so
Speaker 2: many students coming, but they don't have enough space spaces
Speaker 2: in the dorm.
Speaker 1: I have to deal with that all the time, trying
Speaker 1: to help.
Speaker 2: Nieces and nephews get into the dorms and stuff. I
Speaker 2: really get that and understand what are.
Speaker 1: You all thoughts.
Speaker 5: I agree with you they should listen.
Speaker 3: Just because you're staying an off shoot hotel or just
Speaker 3: because there's other issues with the school, don't make another
Speaker 3: issue by by dressing, you know, like you're at a house,
Speaker 3: like you just got out of bed, just got out
Speaker 3: of the shower.
Speaker 5: Dress for the job you want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'm gonna go to class nicked because it's
Speaker 2: a bat up in the hallway on Emory four exactly.
Speaker 6: Come on, man, I know we've got a history of
Speaker 6: hbcu U being underfunded, but you know, recently there's been
Speaker 6: a lot of people donating a lot of money to
Speaker 6: a lot of our HBCUs. Not I'm not sure if
Speaker 6: Tuskegee is one of the ones that received some of
Speaker 6: his funds. But when our HBCUs received these millions and
Speaker 6: millions of dollars of donations, do you think some of
Speaker 6: it is being mismanaged?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: That's a whole, a whole another conversation, but I'm sure,
Speaker 2: Booker T. Washington when he founded Teskige and and people
Speaker 2: that went to Tuskeige and worked at Tueski, like George
Speaker 2: Washington Carver did not have the luxuries that these kids
Speaker 2: have today.
Speaker 1: And look how nice heist today. Dress.
Speaker 2: I ain't never seen a picture of George Washington Carver
Speaker 2: h in Booker T. Washington in anything other than dress
Speaker 2: nice exactly. Let me start talking about that. Imagine their
Speaker 2: living conditions. They probably did not have dorms. They probably
Speaker 2: had that that That's the thing, you know, You know,
Speaker 2: sometimes man, you have to go back to your founders
Speaker 2: and look at what your founders presented. Uh uh and
Speaker 2: and and what the university was founded on. How the
Speaker 2: found I'm just conducted themselves, you know, and and and
Speaker 2: and follow suit to that, you know, don't don't don't don't.
Speaker 2: Don't change the history of the history of book T.
Speaker 1: Washington. George Washington Carver was rich.
Speaker 2: I'll never forget uh my freshman year as as as
Speaker 2: Skegee Muster Wind, I'll never forget mister Wyns.
Speaker 1: The wind took me.
Speaker 2: He said this, this university is rich in black history
Speaker 2: and uh and he took us over in a van
Speaker 2: to to Booker T. Washington Grave until the Oaks until
Speaker 2: the George Washington Carver Museum and George Washington Carver Grave
Speaker 2: is walking distance from Booker T. Washington to the grave
Speaker 2: site right there on campus, right next to the chapel.

Speaker 2: not do this in remembrance of me table. You're not
Speaker 2: allowed to walk across the poor pit freely and touch
Speaker 2: the do this and rememberance of me table. There are
Speaker 2: some things that are sacred. You know when when when
Speaker 2: when when the prayer, when the word is being when
Speaker 2: the pastor take his text, you close the doors and
Speaker 2: don't walk while the pastor.
Speaker 1: Taking this stick. That's a sacred moment.
Speaker 2: You don't have people walking and in and out of
Speaker 2: the doors when people are paying times. And often there
Speaker 2: are some things as black folks that is sacred and
Speaker 2: that university man have so much.

Speaker 2: And you're out there fighting with bondings and all this stuff.

Speaker 1: Period. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I ain't trying to be on those soapbox or whatever,
Speaker 2: but Bible, but our pass has told us for years,
Speaker 2: do all things decent and in order.
Speaker 8: Entertaining.
Speaker 6: On the freaky smiling morning show page right here, what
Speaker 6: I what a brickie.
Speaker 3: It's Tuesday, August fourth. Here's what's going on in the news.
Speaker 3: If you're headed to Cuba, maybe don't. The US has
Speaker 3: issued a security warning for Americans traveling in Cuba as
Speaker 3: the island grapples with a total power failure over ten
Speaker 3: million residents or without self service power or water in
Speaker 3: ninety degree heat. Elsewhere, voting and redistricting are in thistlight
Speaker 3: today as voters in Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, and Washington
Speaker 3: head to the polls. Everybody's watching Michigan's Democratic Senate and
Speaker 3: the contest between progressive abdul l said and the establishment
Speaker 3: back to Congresswoman Haley Stevens that race could indicate which
Speaker 3: direction Democratic voters wants the party to take ahead of
Speaker 3: the midterms. Meanwhile, Mississippi is considering new congressional lines after
Speaker 3: Supreme Court ruling weekend minority voting protections, and in Maryland,
Speaker 3: Republicans argue a Democratic backed proposal would make redistricting a
Speaker 3: more partisan the elections and map changes could help determine
Speaker 3: control of Congress four years. Lastly, y'all, this whole pool saga,
Speaker 3: it's officially become hilarious, embarrassing, and completely unserious. Trump is
Speaker 3: reportedly mad at Janine Pirot for she charges against a
Speaker 3: former olympian accused of.
Speaker 7: Wrecking the pool.
Speaker 5: But she had to after prosecutors.
Speaker 3: Determined it wasn't vandalism at all, and the contractors apparently
Speaker 3: just watched the liner. So basically they almost prosecuted somebody
Speaker 3: and sent to jail because the pool guy did a
Speaker 3: bad job. Trump doubled down though on the vandalism lean Listen.
Speaker 7: The judge was really vicious.
Speaker 2: Instead of going after the people that did it, the
Speaker 2: judge went after her and went after her department.
Speaker 3: And I guess she choked and these guys knew what
Speaker 3: they were doing, and they cut all.
Speaker 8: The way along the base cut cutting.
Speaker 7: Oh gosh.
Speaker 3: The video clearly does not show that Trump acknowledge that
Speaker 3: he wasn't exactly thrilled with the contractor's work, but the
Speaker 3: situation has reportedly becomes such an embarrassment. The sources say
Speaker 3: Piro's job could be in jeopardy, but he's still convinced
Speaker 3: that it's bad. But some people say, listen, Trump just
Speaker 3: keeps saying the quiet part out loud. Listen to what Kennedy,
Speaker 3: I can't think of his name, and he's a senator
Speaker 3: told NBC's Meet the Press.
Speaker 9: I'm going to start with the freshman. Freshman says it
Speaker 9: was caused by vandals. I don't know whether he really
Speaker 9: believes that, or it's part of his political messenging, or
Speaker 9: he's just thinking about out loud.
Speaker 3: Wow, remember on these Ergain Morrig, go, Ricuz Moley, Money
Speaker 3: Show dot Com.
Speaker 5: Now here's what look at sports Rock.
Speaker 7: Te The sports genius is in the building.
Speaker 6: No man, listen, there's a quarterback battle going down in Cleveland.
Speaker 6: That's right in Cleveland Brown's training camp between Shador Sanders
Speaker 6: and Deshaun Watson yes, Deshaun is.
Speaker 7: Still in the league. He's earning two hundred and thirty million.
Speaker 6: Dollars guaranteed from that countract he signed years ago.
Speaker 7: Word is that Shador is balling so far.
Speaker 6: In the meantime, man Lebron James's agent Rich Paul breaks
Speaker 6: down his opinion on competitive youth sports. These kids are
Speaker 6: playing way too much basketball, way too much basketball.
Speaker 1: You don't need it.
Speaker 7: We don't need fifteen tournaments.
Speaker 1: You don't need it.
Speaker 7: I can tell a guy who has pro potential in
Speaker 7: two minutes.
Speaker 5: A lot of injuries are happening a lot earlier too.
Speaker 7: He telling the truth. But there's a balance to it.
Speaker 6: There's a balance to a rig man, because this tournament
Speaker 6: is all year long.
Speaker 7: There's pros and cons to it.
Speaker 6: Some of the cons is a player can get burned out,
Speaker 6: a player can get injured because it's hard on the body,
Speaker 6: expensive for the parents. But some of the pros is
Speaker 6: opportunities to be showcased in front of a lot of
Speaker 6: college scouts and the college coaches, more game reps. If
Speaker 6: you got more game reps on the court, by the fault,
Speaker 6: you have no choice but to get better. And now
Speaker 6: it's almost impossible not to be seen and recognized because
Speaker 6: there's so many opportunities to play.
Speaker 7: So there's a little bit of balance, man.
Speaker 6: And you know, my advice to coaches and getting kids
Speaker 6: is like, just if you got fifteen tournaments at the
Speaker 6: end of the year, trying to play at eight of them,
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, eight or nine of them,
Speaker 6: you're good to go.
Speaker 2: So it's going to be broke, I'm telling you, man,
Speaker 2: from sitting on them damn hard adventures all. I had
Speaker 2: to walk out of taekwondo to stretch yesterday. Yeah, aventures.
Speaker 2: They need some church pews and the taekwondo classes.
Speaker 7: Come on, dog dog, it's uh ol free to sit
Speaker 7: in there. And for the brat with the hospital, let's
Speaker 7: get it. Yes, drop it like it's hard, Drop it
Speaker 7: like it's hard.
Speaker 3: That's hot.
Speaker 1: Come on now, Fred, it's got the hot spot.
Speaker 3: What up?
Speaker 5: Okay, Ricky?
Speaker 3: So first we need to give us special good.
Speaker 5: Morning to our new family members in Louisville.

Speaker 3: So, Asaph Rocky recently sat down for an interview with
Speaker 3: Jason Lee, and he broke down.
Speaker 5: Why Rihanna is the one listener.
Speaker 8: One thing I have to say about my woman that
Speaker 8: people don't know.
Speaker 1: She'll realize, Bro, she not one of these.
Speaker 8: Hollywood newbies or whatever the case is, no shade to nobody.
Speaker 1: She really is a strong black.
Speaker 8: Woman, and she held me down even when I was
Speaker 8: at my lowest. It wasn't really no other broad that
Speaker 8: could match me. It's don't got nothing to do with
Speaker 8: her accolades and her money. The truth of the matter
Speaker 8: is when my dad died, she was dead for me.
Speaker 8: When I got locked up in Sweden, she was dead
Speaker 8: for me every time I'm at my lowest and darkest place.
Speaker 8: Rather if we just friends platonically or we in a
Speaker 8: couple relationships, she always looking in for me, bro. Genuinely,
Speaker 8: my dad died on Christmas. I was on my bathroom
Speaker 8: floor in Paris crying. She called me for some reason
Speaker 8: to congratulate me in Paris. We both in Paris. I
Speaker 8: didn't know she was a she know I was in Paris.
Speaker 8: Shorty rushed to my I don't even know how Rihanna
Speaker 8: got the key to my room.
Speaker 1: I stopped answering my phone.
Speaker 8: She worked right at that really was my friend, bro.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's deep. That's deep right there.
Speaker 5: That's deep okay.
Speaker 2: And if you ever get a chance, listen to what
Speaker 2: t I said at the Tiny when they renewed their
Speaker 2: violes man that.
