Speaker 1: Media. You know, it's a fascinating thing to watch how
Speaker 1: slang in words evolve specifically around insults, which is what
Speaker 1: this episode is about, specifically the strategy of insults. I
Speaker 1: think I said in one of the little breakdowns about
Speaker 1: the DNC in one of the video ones, hopefully you're
Speaker 1: following us on social media, on the Politics pod and
Speaker 1: on my TikTok, which is just prop hip hop because
Speaker 1: I'm trying to grow my own name too. But when
Speaker 1: you're gonna roast somebody, when you're gonna call him something
Speaker 1: like if you gonna drag somebody like that, it's gotta
Speaker 1: be kind of true, Like there has to be even
Speaker 1: if it's not factual, it's got to feel like it
Speaker 1: might be true. That's why the jd Vance and couch
Speaker 1: thing works because you can't prove that he actually had
Speaker 1: sexual intercourse with a couch. But looking at this dude
Speaker 1: and knowing that you know dudes like him, I could
Speaker 1: see that be it true, like douchebag frat boy, you know,
Speaker 1: out partying, got drunk, like I could. I could picture
Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh doing it like just that type dude. So
Speaker 1: you don't know if it's true, but you could see that,
Speaker 1: like that's why that roast will work. And then I
Speaker 1: gave an example which I still feel strongly about about
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, where it's like, if you're gonna roast her,
Speaker 1: it's gotta seem true. May you can't verify it, but
Speaker 1: it's gotta seem true, Like she don't date black men. Well,
Speaker 1: she's married, so there's that, but you got but has
Speaker 1: she ever dated a black man? She don't find black
Speaker 1: men attractive. You don't know that, but I could see that.
Speaker 1: I could see how that might be, like her vibe
Speaker 1: little light skin and bougie. But that's just it's not true.
Speaker 1: But like it's gotta seem like it's true for it
Speaker 1: to stick anyway. The evolution of a roasting to somebody
Speaker 1: as a strategy, and the terms we used to use.
Speaker 1: I remember, like in more Gas Busters, like you know,
Speaker 1: early nineties, you a MOREK sucker MC, which is something
Speaker 1: I called my daughter all the time, my little daughter,
Speaker 1: like a little sucker em C. Like it's at this
Speaker 1: point it's funny to call some call somebody a sucker EMC,
Speaker 1: a sucker MC if you don't know, but yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously there there are lines you can't cross. You know,
Speaker 1: we was kids talking about somebody mama. Unless it's like
Speaker 1: we just cracking your mama jokes, that's different, but that's
Speaker 1: not specifically your actual mama. But if it's like I'm
Speaker 1: really talking about your actual mom, it's like, all right, nigga,
Speaker 1: we finn fight. Obviously calling a man a bitch, whole
Speaker 1: ass nigga, put sass nigga, like the like they do
Speaker 1: down sotoud oh, put sass nigga. You start talking like that,
Speaker 1: it means like yo, it's it's about to get serious
Speaker 1: and Lanta like lame man nigga, like lame man. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like these are things. They're kind
Speaker 1: of regional insults, you know, whole ass nigga. Like you
Speaker 1: call somebody that, it's like, we're okay, that sucks, but
Speaker 1: you're kind of kidding. Now with girls, you know, they
Speaker 1: call it, they call a friends bitch out. But then
Speaker 1: you could tell by the tone and if we friends,
Speaker 1: what the you what you mean by that? The tone matters.
Speaker 1: But at least in California, what has become probably the
Speaker 1: worst thing you could call somebody. It's a weird old
Speaker 1: hood politics y'all. So this episode is about strategy, tone
Speaker 1: and storytelling. But before we get into that, what look
Speaker 1: is like this? What look is like this? Bull look
Speaker 1: is like this? What look is like this? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what look is like this? Uh it's like this. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Uh some light news. I'm on the new Fashon record,
Speaker 1: which is cool, a song called Tots for Tots. Been
Speaker 1: moving with this crew called mid Nineties and yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I've been a long time fan of Fash and had
Speaker 1: a chance to finally connect with him and make some music.
Speaker 1: I've learned when it comes to my career, especially music
Speaker 1: is just like yo, play a chill, play the long game,
Speaker 1: don't force yourself into situations it'll it'll come to you.
Speaker 1: It'll come to you. And I've been trying to connect
Speaker 1: with Sean for a while, so I'm just glad it
Speaker 1: finally worked out and it's a dope song and the
Speaker 1: songs out now, so it's called Toys for TODs. It's
Speaker 1: on Fast Shawn's new record called You Owe Us with Interest.
Speaker 1: I also this year came out on a track with
Speaker 1: Blue of Evidence songs called Hell Damn Anyway. Uh, So
Speaker 1: that's good news, funny news, Costco said, keep my name
Speaker 1: out your mouth. We ain't got nothing to do with
Speaker 1: this diddy thing. We ain't sell. We don't even sell
Speaker 1: baby oil like that. Don't speak on my name. Do
Speaker 1: not bring me into your mess, black people. My name
Speaker 1: is Wes and what I ain't in this mess. I
Speaker 1: ain't in this mess. My name is Bennett and I
Speaker 1: ain't in it. That's Costco say, I ain't in y'all
Speaker 1: this nasty, freaky as. I'm not gonna need to stay
Speaker 1: his ass inside. I ain't a part of that. And
Speaker 1: not so fun news. Uh Israel has taken out the
Speaker 1: leader of Hezbealad nosra La, and I mean he's been
Speaker 1: there leader for like thirty two years, so like it
Speaker 1: or love it, you know, he they dude, And it's
Speaker 1: not like they don't have a succession plan because he's
Speaker 1: been the leader for thirty two years. And again, let's
Speaker 1: make this very clear. Hesbe lying boys, niggas don't like
Speaker 1: y'all understand. You know, this is why we say this
Speaker 1: gangbanging because it's like I hope you know, I hope
Speaker 1: you don't think any of us is arguing in favor
Speaker 1: of anybody except for the suffering people of Palestine and
Speaker 1: Lebanon and folks being carpetbomb because within that airstrike of
Speaker 1: him taking up Israel, taking out the leader, a thousand
Speaker 1: other people have died. Now you would ask me, uh,
Speaker 1: what about the deaths inside of Israel. Again, this is
Speaker 1: why we call it gangbanging, because if your argument is
Speaker 1: Israel ain't gonna be safe until all its enemies are destroyed,
Speaker 1: all of its enemies can say the same thing, that's
Speaker 1: why it's gangbanging. But I would say this if I
Speaker 1: had a chance to sit down, because obviously will not obviously,
Speaker 1: because the fact is Israel they want it with Iran.
Speaker 1: That's what they wanted with They're trying to go head
Speaker 1: up with Iran. For a long time they wasn't trying
Speaker 1: to go head up with Ran, but it seemed like
Speaker 1: Iran don't want to go head up with them. And
Speaker 1: if I'm in, and so they iron essentially backs Kamas
Speaker 1: has beloved who these like, all these people, And if
Speaker 1: I were to speak to those groups, it's like all right, word,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's cool. You got somebody to
Speaker 1: come on and you know, give you the tools, you know,
Speaker 1: put that work in your hand, But I kind of
Speaker 1: noticed that they don't ever be outside fighting with y'all.
Speaker 1: It seemed to be like they okay with y'all dying
Speaker 1: in the streets and having your pages blown up. Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody taking the heat to Tehran in which Tehran's like
Speaker 1: with Nigga, that's because we got nukes, Nigga. If you
Speaker 1: at nukes, Jo, I'm saying like it'd be a different story.
Speaker 1: Y'all go out there and fight. Won't need it before
Speaker 1: we got nukes. But we can help y'all. That's y'all's problem.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying, like, maybe your big homies
Speaker 1: don't love you the way they say they do. It's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. Hurricane Helen just absolutely dogged walk North Cacilaca,
Speaker 1: man Ashville just in ruins, shout out the homies in
Speaker 1: Greenville at Bridge City Coffee. Man, I know they roasters down. Man.
Speaker 1: I had the homies checked in and they told me
Speaker 1: they all right, but they like, yeah, Man, I got
Speaker 1: neighbors who's like tree just through their roofs and man,
Speaker 1: So if you got folks out there, man, I'm hoping
Speaker 1: and praying your folks is all right. This puts a
Speaker 1: stall in an already dying business, which is my cold
Speaker 1: brew coffee. But they're had some beans coming in from
Speaker 1: Honduras that obviously that which are going to be roasted
Speaker 1: in Greenville. But it seems like shipping is kind of
Speaker 1: an issue right now, so we're gonna pause that a
Speaker 1: little longer. Yeah, Oh, Vice presidential debate speaking of weirdos
Speaker 1: is happening this week, so that makes this show rather relevant.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. It's like this, all right,
Speaker 1: how how weirdo became like the worst thing you got
Speaker 1: somebody out here is beyond me. How it happened, But
Speaker 1: what it's communicating is and then I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: an example of this in action before I start talking
Speaker 1: about political strategy. The the attitude about it is it's
Speaker 1: dismissive in the sense that I almost don't have time
Speaker 1: for the things that you are bringing up. What you're
Speaker 1: worried about is so unimportant and just just strange. Why
Speaker 1: do you care about this? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Why did you acting like this? You weirdo? Like I
Speaker 1: just like what's happening right now, very much of like
Speaker 1: the office and Jim looking at the camera like what's
Speaker 1: what's what are we? What is he talking about? You weirdo?
Speaker 1: And when somebody like a weirdo, like I really don't
Speaker 1: even have to fight. It's like how you know how
Speaker 1: when you a giggle like miss shuts your whole ass
Speaker 1: and walk like somebody being very serious ready to fight you,
Speaker 1: and you're like miss shuts your whole ass and we
Speaker 1: just laugh and walk away like somebody seriously trying to
Speaker 1: boss up on you, but it's funny or you're just
Speaker 1: like bro weirdo, like relaxed, kind of like ain't nobody
Speaker 1: and the giggle and walk away. It's kind of communicating,
Speaker 1: like bro, I beat the brakes off you, like I
Speaker 1: listen walk like this you don't want this smoke? Like
Speaker 1: this is not even worth it, Like just go sit
Speaker 1: down somewhere, like what is your problem? I'm not even
Speaker 1: gonna fight you over this or even defend myself or
Speaker 1: even engage. You're weirdo, Like what is fool's problem? Like
Speaker 1: who mans is this? Like hey, who know cauz? Like
Speaker 1: why are you? What is he talking about? So it's
Speaker 1: that attitude, even if this person is trying to bully you,
Speaker 1: If this person is trying to press you you're weirdo,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not weirdo? Like what did you you know?
Speaker 1: Just what you are so concerned about doesn't matter. It's
Speaker 1: so beneath us, and you are deeply unserious, Like I
Speaker 1: just can't I can't even take you serious. So it's
Speaker 1: not can't take you serious in the sense that you're
Speaker 1: not dangerous or that like you're not capable of violence,
Speaker 1: but just that like what you like this? Don't like
Speaker 1: why I don't know none of us understand why this
Speaker 1: is such a big deal to you, the way for
Speaker 1: which you're approaching us about something that's really silly. It's
Speaker 1: like I feel weird, like weird though, like what is
Speaker 1: your problem that? That is the attitude and this is
Speaker 1: why or one of the reasons why Kendrick won because
Speaker 1: it wasn't so much I make more money than you.
Speaker 1: I'm a better rapper than you, because he's clearly a
Speaker 1: better rapper. I'm sorry, y'all, let's let's just be honest.
Speaker 1: Do we make more hits? No, because he's even admitted
Speaker 1: you're a hit maker. You make us dance, but you
Speaker 1: want to get into some battle rap you can't rap
Speaker 1: better than me, But that's not the point. The point
Speaker 1: is freaky asked. Niggas need to stay they asses side. Hey,
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, Like you're weird though,
Speaker 1: Like what do you know the a minor? Like I
Speaker 1: heard you like I'm young, Like that's weird. It's weird
Speaker 1: that you like minors. It's weird that you're a grown
Speaker 1: man with children and you still partying like you're a
Speaker 1: twenty year old. That's weird. So that's the argument he's making,
Speaker 1: Like it's like, y'all you weird, bro, Like why you
Speaker 1: ain't grow up? Are you following like you you otherise
Speaker 1: in a way that is powerful because following my metaphor here,
Speaker 1: what is supposed to be cool is the Hugh Hefner life,
Speaker 1: the playboy, permanent bachelor, international player with a passport, always
Speaker 1: got girls, always partying, endless summer, endless money. I'm in
Speaker 1: every country, I'm in every party, I got every girl
Speaker 1: I've I've smashed every prom queen in every city. I've
Speaker 1: you know, slept with every beauty queen in every country.
Speaker 1: And I'm still on a boat. I'm still on my yacht,
Speaker 1: and i still gotta mansion. That's what's cool. I'm the
Speaker 1: I got, I got drinks, were drinking, we partying, we smoking,
Speaker 1: we got girls, we got money. That's supposed to be cool.
Speaker 1: What Kendrick did was be like, Nigga, you're thirty eight
Speaker 1: with two children. What are you serious? How have you
Speaker 1: not grown out of this? It's supposed to be square
Speaker 1: to go home and be all domesticated where you're just like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is like you know, Dad Bob dad life. And
Speaker 1: that's why he was like, Yo, I'm sorry in Meet
Speaker 1: the Grams, like I'm sorry, I live a quiet life.
Speaker 1: Noes that Meet the Grams or yeah, I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: live a quiet life that I just I go home
Speaker 1: and I raise my children and I love my one wife.
Speaker 1: You're the weirdo because we're in our mid to late thirties. Nigga,
Speaker 1: be a better man, and why do you have betaphiles on?
Speaker 1: Like you're a weirdo. So it wasn't so much the
Speaker 1: rap thing. I just got off the phone with the
Speaker 1: homie Justin at It's all happening the you know, ambros
Speaker 1: and for heads, brilliant, brilliant video YouTube channel like please
Speaker 1: follow Justin. He's one of the smartest brains in hip hop.
Speaker 1: I don't care what nobody say, but he was like
Speaker 1: Drake could have done much better in his battle if
Speaker 1: he was just a better person. Like if he was
Speaker 1: a better person, then Kidrick probably wouldn't have much to say.
Speaker 1: You're a weirdo. I'm telling you how to culture feels
Speaker 1: from euphoria. Like I'm just I think you're I think
Speaker 1: you hate women. I think you're jealous of them. When
Speaker 1: I see you, pop, I see two bitches like you
Speaker 1: are weird and you think you think this is cool,
Speaker 1: but it's it's weird. You a grown man around teenagers, Nigga,
Speaker 1: that's weird. So this is when you call this is
Speaker 1: when you turn a group or a person into a weirdo.
Speaker 1: Why it works? And this, my friend, is the battle
Speaker 1: that the Republicans and the Democrats are engaged in which
Speaker 1: one of y'all are weirdos, next weirdos weirdos. All right,
Speaker 1: we're back now. I am talking storytelling and messaging. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking policy, nor am I talking how I feel. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is not my opinion. All Right, y'all know when
Speaker 1: it's my opinion, I feel like it's pretty obvious because again,
Speaker 1: I am not a journalist. I have no duties to
Speaker 1: be fair and balanced. I will be because that's me
Speaker 1: being a human, and because I don't owe any of
Speaker 1: these politicians or people I talk I owe them anything.
Speaker 1: This is all transactional. So I will tell you when
Speaker 1: it's what I think, and especially when I think, like
Speaker 1: there is a life and death situation here. You know,
Speaker 1: I agree with Robert Evans. I'm like, I think the
Speaker 1: repoking party needs to be burnt, burn to the ground,
Speaker 1: and y'all need to start over, like you're in a
Speaker 1: death grip right now, Like y'all need to start over
Speaker 1: like this. We need to have conservatives in the world
Speaker 1: like it helps. It helps having that push and pull.
Speaker 1: I agree. I don't agree with always what you think about.
Speaker 1: I think you offer a perspective that can help. But dog,
Speaker 1: whatever the hell y'all are now, ain't that anyway? That's
Speaker 1: my opinion. This is an understanding of narrative and strategy. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I might say some in this video or in
Speaker 1: this video, in this podcast, some very outlandish takes that
Speaker 1: again one more time, I don't believe. I am just saying,
Speaker 1: this is the story that's being communicated. Now, let's do
Speaker 1: this weirdos. The story that the Republicans have been able
Speaker 1: to say about the left is they've been able to
Speaker 1: say the left are weirdos and weird normal they want
Speaker 1: weird stuff, like we're just we can't even be normal. Now,
Speaker 1: how did they tell this story? What they told the
Speaker 1: story first starting in the nineties around the concept of abortion.
Speaker 1: They're just like, nigga, that's a baby. I don't understand
Speaker 1: why you're trying to convince me that an unborn child
Speaker 1: is not a child. What is y'all talking about? What
Speaker 1: is it? You're weird? We're not like you are you
Speaker 1: you're gonna convince me this is not killing? It isn't
Speaker 1: that the goal? Like you're gonna use terms like terminate
Speaker 1: rather than kill, as if I don't know that that's
Speaker 1: the same thing. Again, this is their story. What I
Speaker 1: believe y'all don't be clipping this thing and putting it
Speaker 1: in no, but this is their story. Like, look, this
Speaker 1: is absurd, Like that's not how you finna tell me
Speaker 1: that two humans just created a human and that human
Speaker 1: before would get out the wound ain't a human? What
Speaker 1: is you talking about? You're weird? That was the argument
Speaker 1: that was what that was that, But that goes back
Speaker 1: way back to the nineties, to the eighties and the
Speaker 1: nineties when they started trying to overturn Roe v. Wade,
Speaker 1: like y'all you guys, like, have y'all lost y'all mind?
Speaker 1: And then the next thing, the next evolution of that
Speaker 1: was the LGBTQ, right. Their argument was, why are you
Speaker 1: trying to convince me this is natural? Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: y'all can't even make humans? Like what do you? I
Speaker 1: don't understand what y'all are talking about? Of course you
Speaker 1: should be able to live, but that's not that's not marriage,
Speaker 1: Like what do you? I don't understand what you're saying,
Speaker 1: Like you could have something else? I mean, you weird
Speaker 1: for making me want to believe? What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Like that? Doesn't y'all are like this? What? Why? Like
Speaker 1: I don't understand? Like this is you can't like Dick
Speaker 1: Vagina like you can't tell them too, I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Why is how are we the weird ones? Like that
Speaker 1: was their arguments, like how are we the weird ones?
Speaker 1: When this is how the species? Like I mean, what
Speaker 1: what living creature? Isn't the whole earthwork like this nigga,
Speaker 1: the trees are this, the trees are male and feet
Speaker 1: like it's seed and ovary like cut open an orange, nigga,
Speaker 1: that's ovary, Like, I don't I just what do you?
Speaker 1: I don't get it? Dick Vagina like what do you what?
Speaker 1: You're weird for trying to tell me that them two
Speaker 1: don't naturally go together? Like you, I mean, just look
Speaker 1: at it, one to stick the other as a whole.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's what? Right? Was their argument? Again?
Speaker 1: So they're like, bro, like, if things don't have a definition,
Speaker 1: then they don't mean anything. So once you start stretching
Speaker 1: the definition of stuff, stuff stops meaning things. This argument
Speaker 1: continues to evolve into trans rites, into pronouns into when
Speaker 1: we started talking about therapy and toxic masculinity and you know,
Speaker 1: the nuclear family, They're just like, I don't understand what
Speaker 1: the fuck's a thrupple? Like what are y'all talking about?
Speaker 1: I don't like. And they got to be for a
Speaker 1: long time the outsiders, because they weren't up. They got
Speaker 1: to be except for when the few times that you know,
Speaker 1: Reagan and Bush was doing their thing. But as cultures
Speaker 1: started shifting, people got tired of they rhetoric, and they
Speaker 1: just started feeling like are The story they were telling
Speaker 1: was like, we feel like we're the only sober people
Speaker 1: in a room full of drunk folk. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've ever been the designated driver during a
Speaker 1: room full of drunk folk, how you realize how ridiculous
Speaker 1: everybody looks when they drunk. You're not jealous of that,
Speaker 1: seems like they have a more fun to you. You
Speaker 1: looking at them like they look ridiculous? Am I the
Speaker 1: only one? I'm the only look I'm the normal one, y'all. All,
Speaker 1: y'all not gonna convince me. While you guys are taking
Speaker 1: turns jumping into this fountain outside, you're doing that because
Speaker 1: you're drunk, Like I'm the only one. I don't understand,
Speaker 1: like okay, getting the car. That was the story they're
Speaker 1: trying to tell. They're like, dude, America's like, go home, America,
Speaker 1: you're drunk. Like what are y'all doing? I don't like
Speaker 1: what is happening right now? How are you finna tell
Speaker 1: me that a dude marrying a girl and having children
Speaker 1: is we like, what's wrong with that? Then we started
Speaker 1: talking about things like masculinity and toxic masculinity. And they
Speaker 1: kept being like, dude, you're telling me that just a
Speaker 1: dude being a dude is toxic. So I can't like fishing,
Speaker 1: I can't like fighting. I don't understand trucks are trucks
Speaker 1: are cool, Fighting's cool. I like, I'm just a dude,
Speaker 1: Like I'm It's not so much that I hate females.
Speaker 1: I'm just not one. Y'all act like I'm going home
Speaker 1: and beating my wife and being like feed me, Like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just a dude, and nobody else gotta
Speaker 1: apologize for just being themselves. It's like it seemed like
Speaker 1: the only way for me to not to be a
Speaker 1: non toxic man is to just be a girl. That's
Speaker 1: crazy to me, is their argument, and their argument again.
Speaker 1: By my lord, don't get me started about canceling culture.
Speaker 1: Y'all mad at mister potato head, Well, like, what is
Speaker 1: the m and ms? We gotta stop you canceling it.
Speaker 1: You can sling, miss potato head. You make a doctor,
Speaker 1: doctor seuss. What is wrong with y'all? Like, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's just a It's a toy. It's a toy, guys,
Speaker 1: It's a toy. You're weird, was their argument. Again, was
Speaker 1: their argument, not my argument. I don't understand why this
Speaker 1: is so bad. Y'all are weird? Was their argument. Again,
Speaker 1: It's not what I think. This is the story they
Speaker 1: were telling and have been for years. Why the Trump
Speaker 1: thing worked is because of a lot of reasons, but
Speaker 1: one was we just want to return to normal. It's
Speaker 1: not that we hate anybody. Again, this is the story.
Speaker 1: It's just y'all are weird. Then you add the trance
Speaker 1: thing and the pronouns, and their story was, what the
Speaker 1: fuck is wrong with you? That is a man and
Speaker 1: you want me to not call him he? But it's
Speaker 1: clearly that you talk about the bathrooms and the gender
Speaker 1: neutral stuff, and they're losing their mind, like, how are
Speaker 1: y'all y'all are weird? This is listen, that's weird. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that's weird. It's weird that you want me
Speaker 1: to call a man a woman. It's weird that this
Speaker 1: woman wants to go into the male bathrooms. It's weird
Speaker 1: that tampons are in the boy's bathroom. That's their argument,
Speaker 1: that's just weird. Boys don't menstruate. I don't understand. Then
Speaker 1: they threw their hands up, like, well, shit, what's a woman?
Speaker 1: Can you tell me what a woman is? These weirdos
Speaker 1: can't answer the question what is it? This is the
Speaker 1: easiest question. Was their argument, you're weird. You're like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean you feel like you're a girl? Son,
Speaker 1: you're a boy? Okay, if you feel like you're a girl,
Speaker 1: you're confused. Again, this is not the way I feel.
Speaker 1: This is their narrative. All of that is weird, and
Speaker 1: they tied that into the narrative of what they would
Speaker 1: call wokeness, where it was like, so I can't talk
Speaker 1: about the founding of the country, I can't talk about
Speaker 1: seventeen seventy six. I have to talk about slavery. Yes,
Speaker 1: slavery suck. But then we end that why the hell
Speaker 1: is you still talking about like nigga, you free? Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like what are we you have in
Speaker 1: a nice house, Like what are you talking about? Y'all
Speaker 1: are weird? We'd normal, you're weird while we got movies
Speaker 1: like Lady Bolers. It's because their argument is y'all are weird,
Speaker 1: Like I don't understand why this is so hard for you.
Speaker 1: A dude is a dude and a girl is a girl,
Speaker 1: and even if you chop up yo junk, you're still
Speaker 1: what you are like. And that's okay. Why is it
Speaker 1: you want me to ignore the obvious? Again, this is
Speaker 1: their story, not mine. I just don't understand why this
Speaker 1: is so difficult for y'all. And that and the fact
Speaker 1: that you're making me to beat the neanderthal is even
Speaker 1: more weird. This is their argument. This is again Kendrick saying,
Speaker 1: you telling me stay at home and taking care of
Speaker 1: my children is weird. No, nigga, you're the weirdo that
Speaker 1: you're that old and Kate go home and raise your children.
Speaker 1: That you still out here partying like you twenty two,
Speaker 1: that's weird. So then you fast forward to the streak
Speaker 1: that the Democrats had for presidents, right, and obviously you
Speaker 1: know the white lash of Trump is where it ends. Right.
Speaker 1: I think all of this is just whether it's the
Speaker 1: tea party or any of it, is just a response
Speaker 1: of a black man making into the office. These people
Speaker 1: just couldn't broke their brains. But that's again, that's my opinion.
Speaker 1: But take Chance the rapper, follow me, guys. What we
Speaker 1: loved about Chance is that he became famous off of mixtape.
Speaker 1: It is just a mixtape. He was an outsider, no label,
Speaker 1: just good music and a great following and a hard work,
Speaker 1: and he became a star. An outsider. I am not
Speaker 1: the industry. I am I'm the champion of the independence,
Speaker 1: the underdog. But when the underdog starts winning, they cease
Speaker 1: to be the underdog. You cease to be the outsider
Speaker 1: once you sign a label deal, once your campaign works,
Speaker 1: you are now the industry. So you can't keep calling
Speaker 1: yourself the underdog. You can't keep calling yourself the indie
Speaker 1: hero because now you're on well, now you're a star.
Speaker 1: Now you're playing arenas. You become the system, so you
Speaker 1: can't do the them thing because you are now them.
Speaker 1: What the Republicans were able to do during the Clinton
Speaker 1: years the Obama years is be like, we're the outsiders
Speaker 1: because look where culture is going, and we're the ones
Speaker 1: trying to keep everybody grounded, like we're the ones trying
Speaker 1: to remind you that water is wet and gravity works.
Speaker 1: That that was their argument, and y'all are floating in space.
Speaker 1: But then the tables turn. The outsider became the mainstream,
Speaker 1: and when the like we're normal, they're weird switches to
Speaker 1: and now we're in charge, and now we're bully and
Speaker 1: anything that does not fit inside of our tent is
Speaker 1: not only weird, needs to be destroyed. And this is
Speaker 1: where the Republicans went wrong, in my opinion, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what I mean next. I we're back again. I'm
Speaker 1: just talking strategy and storytelling. What happened in the storytelling
Speaker 1: is them saying they're normal, we're normal, they're weird, and
Speaker 1: the causes they were attached themselves to started to attract
Speaker 1: real weirdos. These are the extremists of the world. And
Speaker 1: in that it pulled in deeply racist people who moved
Speaker 1: from I just don't understand this whole trans thing and
Speaker 1: this whole abortion thing to yeah, and they need to
Speaker 1: die and trans need to not exist. So it pushed
Speaker 1: it too far. You became bullies, and rather than being
Speaker 1: like I don't understanding trans thing, but like whatever, like
Speaker 1: everybody's welcome, you were more like they shouldn't have rights.
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be able to drink in our fountains, and
Speaker 1: parents shouldn't be able to So you started they started
Speaker 1: becoming an overlord. You got dudes saying, if you vote
Speaker 1: for a woman, you're not a man, Like what you
Speaker 1: got Dudes like Matt Walsh arguing that the Little Mermaid
Speaker 1: couldn't possibly be black because she lives at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the ocean. Nigga, that's a maid up character, it's
Speaker 1: a mermaid. What is you talking about with the masculinity thing?
Speaker 1: Now that they up, rather than taking the responsibility of saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, in our worldview, we believe that men should
Speaker 1: be protectors and providers. Maybe we need to think about
Speaker 1: the ways for which we have interacted with females and
Speaker 1: maybe maybe they do have a point. Maybe we should listen.
Speaker 1: And they were like, no, shine this halogen light on
Speaker 1: my balls when when me too movements started hitting, rather
Speaker 1: than being like damn homie, yeah, Like yo, that's not
Speaker 1: pimp man, Like why you know you shouldn't be you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be treating girls. It's like, why are you so
Speaker 1: hard on men? That's just a man trying to get laid. Listen,
Speaker 1: men are alphas and it's a sigma beta boy, a
Speaker 1: soy boy that isn't trying to slay every woman he wants, Like, bro,
Speaker 1: what like that? They just rather they doubled down on
Speaker 1: it and it just it got so oppressive in the
Speaker 1: rules and the avatar of the Trump to where you
Speaker 1: had to twist yourself into a pretzel. You were the
Speaker 1: law and order people, and you about to elect a felon,
Speaker 1: a man doing all the stuff, all the family values
Speaker 1: that you said you wanted to hold on to is
Speaker 1: a man that don't hold none of them value. To
Speaker 1: the point to where about the abortion thing to points
Speaker 1: awear rather than being like, yo, we know, we just
Speaker 1: believe in the sanctity of life. You like, I don't
Speaker 1: care if your mama dying. I don't care if your
Speaker 1: pregnancy is sepsist. I don't care if you raped. I
Speaker 1: don't care if it's more Lesstation Nigga had that baby.
Speaker 1: Like Yo, you get the News Max, you get the
Speaker 1: fake news, you get this whole world, this conspiracy world.
Speaker 1: You get the QAnon where you went from being the
Speaker 1: normal ones to now y'all are weirdos, which is the
Speaker 1: narrative the Democrats are giving now. So now the story
Speaker 1: coming out of the DNC and moving into this campaign
Speaker 1: that we're about to experience again, I'm just talking strategy
Speaker 1: and narrative. Everything with the Republicans is doom and gloom,
Speaker 1: like you want to shut the border. So the problem
Speaker 1: of the world is immigrants. Y'all. Don't read like what
Speaker 1: are y'all talking about? Your leader is crazy and no
Speaker 1: matter what this man does, you just gonna follow him.
Speaker 1: That's weird. You've abandoned all of your morals so that
Speaker 1: you could keep this guy. This guy, if you look
Speaker 1: at us, we looked at our the head of our leader.
Speaker 1: It was like the head of our party and was like, bruh,
Speaker 1: it's time for you to sit down. You're gonna cost
Speaker 1: us this election. You know what that is? That's normal.
Speaker 1: If you see a guy who's slipping and is a liability,
Speaker 1: you approach him and you ask him to sit down
Speaker 1: for the greater good. You don't keep that man in power.
Speaker 1: You don't bend to his will. No, you you communicate
Speaker 1: to him that like sir, you've done your part, but like, bro,
Speaker 1: you gotta go. We're not gonna follow you into the abyss.
Speaker 1: You know what. I'm like, I'm not gonna follow you
Speaker 1: to the gates of hell. To follow one man into
Speaker 1: the gates of hell is weird. The Democrats finally figured
Speaker 1: out how to talk about and how to talk about
Speaker 1: the GOP and how they talking about them is the
Speaker 1: way that they were talked about, which is weird. Normal
Speaker 1: y'all are weird. It's how Kendrick talked about Drake where
Speaker 1: it's like, bro, that's not dope. Like all this stuff
Speaker 1: you think is cool is not cool. That's it's weird. Man, Like,
Speaker 1: why is you making Why is the Halkster there? He
Speaker 1: brought out the hawkster? Bruh, it's weird? What okay, that's
Speaker 1: your stars hulk Hogan like in character? What yo? That's
Speaker 1: not weird to y'all, y'all really let them my pillow
Speaker 1: guy talk to my pillow dude? That shr is this
Speaker 1: your king? Y'all don't y'all don't see that that's weird.
Speaker 1: So rather than pearl clutch and being like, oh, we
Speaker 1: can make better jokes, you do the Kendrick row where
Speaker 1: you just like brod freaky ass y'all need to stay
Speaker 1: ass inside weirdos. What are y'all talking? What's this fool
Speaker 1: talking about? Because it's like, I don't have to say
Speaker 1: this racism weird. I just don't understand how you could
Speaker 1: like dislike an entire group of people, especially when you
Speaker 1: ain't never met none of them. Anti Semitism is weird,
Speaker 1: like what you believe. At the same time, these people
Speaker 1: are vermin and control all levers of power. They're subhuman
Speaker 1: and in charge of all the money and entertainment, like
Speaker 1: what we believe in World War two in America being
Speaker 1: the greatest generation we ever had in the defeat than
Speaker 1: the defeating of Hitler. And he might have been right
Speaker 1: about the Jews. That's what it's weird. It's weird to
Speaker 1: think that immigrants are the totality of our problem. That's
Speaker 1: what it's also weird to just like nigga gay people.
Speaker 1: It is gay, there's gay people. I don't like. What
Speaker 1: is your problem, dude? Like, why do you care? Hey? Listen?
Speaker 1: Why you care about what's in the bathroom In Minnesota?
Speaker 1: If a person listen, what the law say is if
Speaker 1: you men straight, we got pass for you. Why you care? Man?
Speaker 1: It's dudes on TikTok painting they nails, and it's dudes
Speaker 1: in the comments absolutely outraged that man is a stranger.
Speaker 1: Why you care so much? What? What do you care? Bro?
Speaker 1: What happened to the masculinity that says I take care
Speaker 1: of my home and my own business. I ain't got
Speaker 1: nothing to do with me. What a man does in
Speaker 1: his own house is up to him. I don't care. Listen,
Speaker 1: you want me to call you her, you want me
Speaker 1: to call you they all right? Because I don't give
Speaker 1: a like okay, Like it's a matter of respect again.
Speaker 1: If we believe in dignity, honor, and respect, even if
Speaker 1: it don't make sense to me, it don't matter. I'm
Speaker 1: respecting you. I don't have to lord over yo. That's weird, bro,
Speaker 1: Like why you feel like you gotta control all that?
Speaker 1: Fam Relax? And for the life of me, I don't
Speaker 1: understand how in the world you don't see that man
Speaker 1: as a con artist. And this is not in any
Speaker 1: way a defense of any of our leaders. We just
Speaker 1: saying weird those At first, what the Republic or what
Speaker 1: the Democrats tried to do was dismiss the whole Maga
Speaker 1: movement just like, ah, stupid, it could never win. And
Speaker 1: then they mess around and win. It's just like when
Speaker 1: you got a bully that you don't take serious, you
Speaker 1: just giggle on that bully fire on you, you learn
Speaker 1: how to take them serious. And that's what happened. The
Speaker 1: Democrats got their ass kicked and then they was like,
Speaker 1: oh wait a minute, you can't stick to his level.
Speaker 1: You can't. You're not as funny as not as funny
Speaker 1: as Trump, Like that's the reality. The man is funny,
Speaker 1: and the man will say what he needed to say
Speaker 1: talking about the crowd size is ai my nigga? Like
Speaker 1: what phrases like black jobs. I know he didn't mean
Speaker 1: it to be funny, but that is funny. How do
Speaker 1: you weaponize that? How do you turn all of this
Speaker 1: stuff around? That's why he's good at That's why his
Speaker 1: nicknames work is because again, like I said before, that's
Speaker 1: how he wrote somebody where it's like it's kinda true.
Speaker 1: That's what makes it funny. Little Marko like he's short,
Speaker 1: sleepy Joe. He just that's how he seemed crooked Hillary,
Speaker 1: like all of us know this about the Clintons. Nobody
Speaker 1: trust the Clintons. That's why it worked. Don't nobody trust
Speaker 1: the Clintons and don't nobody and nobody had any confidence
Speaker 1: in Joe Biden Like that's that's why it worked. But
Speaker 1: fam why you gotta be weird about everything? Is now
Speaker 1: the narrative Kamala like the Democrats are like, yo, you
Speaker 1: just gonna you just gonna not help the homies in Ukraine,
Speaker 1: Like what is you? He's gonna kick out everybody, like
Speaker 1: you're gonna act like trans people don't exist, or you're
Speaker 1: just gonna he's gonna ban books, like what do you?
Speaker 1: That's weird, fam Like y'all. It feels like y'all trying
Speaker 1: to go backwards and they are that's their brand. We
Speaker 1: want to return, make America great again. We're trying to
Speaker 1: return this stuff. Like, Yo, it's weird to be against progress,
Speaker 1: Like what sort of nostalgia are you stuck into? And
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I get it. You stuck in a
Speaker 1: world where and this is what they're not saying, but saying,
Speaker 1: you just want a world where white people were supreme
Speaker 1: and never had to think about anything else. That's the
Speaker 1: world you want, where the whole system worked to just
Speaker 1: for you. That's weird, gee, because it's the opposite of
Speaker 1: all we learned about what America was. I thought America
Speaker 1: was a tapestry. You ain't never you didn't do an
Speaker 1: Ellis Island project, you ain't been to the Statue of
Speaker 1: Liberty on me Like this is like the fully evolved
Speaker 1: pokemon of the tea party and even your own party.
Speaker 1: Don't understand what the hell you doing? That's weird, bro, No,
Speaker 1: we're normal. We're the ones that are Like, dude, you're
Speaker 1: free to do. You have freedoms, you're in the Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: of course, what do I care gay people get married?
Speaker 1: Like you should be able to get married. That's stupid. Like, dude,
Speaker 1: if you you want to have surgery on your body
Speaker 1: because you believe inside of you that you're like, of
Speaker 1: course you should have the right to do that. I
Speaker 1: don't have to understand it, nigga, Like what you're now, girl? Dope? Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I'm happy you're happy. Hey and Homie go to therapy
Speaker 1: dog Tim Walls one of the stories that again narrative,
Speaker 1: the narrative that he's painting is this is masculinity. This
Speaker 1: is a masculinity that y'all. Here's what's crazy that had
Speaker 1: the Republicans would have kept their head about them, they
Speaker 1: could have owned this type of masculinity. This is the
Speaker 1: type of masculinity that is in Yellowstone. Like, I'm a
Speaker 1: real ass dude. I like I look, I'm a real dude.
Speaker 1: I love the outside. I believe in what I believe in.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna protect then. I'm gonna protect nature. Not because
Speaker 1: I'm some sort of big city liberal, No, nigga, I
Speaker 1: live out here. I'm gonna try to protect the coyotes
Speaker 1: because I understand the coyotes keep the cows and they
Speaker 1: and if they ain't, no, if it's too many cowaries
Speaker 1: and the cows are going, they just gonna die, and
Speaker 1: then the grass go. If the grass dies, big dog,
Speaker 1: I can't feed the like I get ecosystems. I hunt.
Speaker 1: I ain't finish shoot every turkey fam because then they're
Speaker 1: all gonna be gone. You don't think I know that.
Speaker 1: So it's not something like you can't pay me as
Speaker 1: some sort of like Boston liberal tree hugger. I'm like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: niggadd like trees. I go hunting, I go camping. I
Speaker 1: like being a dad. We couldn't do it. I got
Speaker 1: some like you know, infertility treatments. We had a baby girl.
Speaker 1: Hey listen, my son neuro divergent, he nonverbal, and you
Speaker 1: know what, he really loves me, and he was so
Speaker 1: overwhelmed that he couldn't hold back his tears because he
Speaker 1: love his daddy. That's beautiful. I'll beat your ass if
Speaker 1: you think any different, that's beautiful. You don't want your
Speaker 1: son to express emotions towards you, What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1: My son loves me. I love him. And if he
Speaker 1: gonna cry, hell yeah cry? What like? Men of emotions?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about again? They're just trying to
Speaker 1: present this the manhood they're trying to present. Okay, call
Speaker 1: me soft, I'll coach football. I'll truck through the let's okay,
Speaker 1: let's get on the line. Then I'm an O line coach. Brot,
Speaker 1: let's go again. This is not a recording as the
Speaker 1: defense for Tim Wallas. I'm just trying to tell you
Speaker 1: the narrative because it's still weird that they haven't solved
Speaker 1: this Palestinian thing, or at least won't just open their
Speaker 1: mouth and talk about it. But anyway, No, I'm not
Speaker 1: a veg she's a vegetarian. I'm not. I like, I
Speaker 1: can fix cars and it the fact that I can
Speaker 1: listen and let a woman lead doesn't mean my dick shrunk, Like,
Speaker 1: what is wrong with you? That's all? It's okay, she's smart,
Speaker 1: so let her do the job like you what you can't?
Speaker 1: Just that's weird, bro, that your masculinity is so frail
Speaker 1: that you think that I just can't. That's weird, homie.
Speaker 1: And you know what if that's how your house works. Okay,
Speaker 1: you say, how easy that was? Okay, it's fine. What
Speaker 1: like I can listen to authority, I can, like I
Speaker 1: and it don't. I can listen to experts. I can.
Speaker 1: I don't get it bro like weird. Again, this is
Speaker 1: their story, so it's just a narrative thing. So right now,
Speaker 1: the question is which one of these freaky ass niggas
Speaker 1: need to steady ass aside? Now with the debate happening
Speaker 1: this week, I'm recording this Monday, so I don't know
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen tomorrow on Tuesday, And I don't know
Speaker 1: when you listen to this, But here's where this theory
Speaker 1: is about to get played out. Now. This debate is
Speaker 1: between the vice presidents, and both of them have a
Speaker 1: lot to work with, as I've spoke on just now.
Speaker 1: But the penultimate weird though, that is just the gift
Speaker 1: that keeps on giving as far as I'm concerned, is
Speaker 1: Mark Robertson. Y'all, I the man that calls himself the
Speaker 1: black Nazi. Uh that Martin Luther King was a soy
Speaker 1: boy b bringing pizzas into the dog Old Poor and
Speaker 1: Shop because apparently the Internet don't exist. Uh, that nigga weird.
Speaker 1: I just like this now now look this this ain't no.
Speaker 1: That's that nigga weird, right if he running a play bruh,
Speaker 1: you Tim Wallas, that's all you gotta do is be like,
Speaker 1: what's up with your boy? My man Trump called him
Speaker 1: better than Martin Luther King. This nigga weird having a
Speaker 1: whole ass this like I don't know how else this
Speaker 1: d he a cartoon that like, listen, if you got niggas,
Speaker 1: say yo, look my homeboy. Darren Done, who is probably
Speaker 1: one of the most talented videographers. I mean, run this
Speaker 1: dude's catalog all the way back to like Penny Wise
Speaker 1: up to a wall Nation. But he'll shoot the Zach
Speaker 1: Brown shit like he'll shoot what He's one of the
Speaker 1: most talented video He shot the endling he shot the
Speaker 1: excellent video for me, Like he's one of the most
Speaker 1: talented and smart men I've ever met. We don't agree
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff politically, but I tell you what
Speaker 1: don't matter that that's like my dog one of the
Speaker 1: things that he said was this, He's like, if you're
Speaker 1: in the front of the line, you are still somewhat
Speaker 1: responsible for the weirdos in the back of the line
Speaker 1: because that's your line. He's like, I am Yes, I
Speaker 1: am a conservative. Right. He's very punk rock, like like
Speaker 1: the just the textbook jen X punk rock. He's that
Speaker 1: like right on brand, and he's like, dog, I am responsible.
Speaker 1: Like the weirdo in the back of my line is
Speaker 1: Mark Robinson, and I have to own that that's in
Speaker 1: my line. That's he's like, he's a he's a Christian,
Speaker 1: and he's like, I have to acknowledge because I am
Speaker 1: a Christian. Them niggas are weird. They in my line
Speaker 1: and they weird. I have to acknowledge it. The problem
Speaker 1: he right. The thing with Mark to me is like
Speaker 1: you gotta see the entire diaspora of black people saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: I think I said this before, like this saying I'm
Speaker 1: not black. OJ, my nigga, you think they love you? You
Speaker 1: really think this a play you could play? Did you
Speaker 1: think you could pull off all of your debauchery, my nigga?
Speaker 1: Because Trump ain't no better. You're still a nigga, don't
Speaker 1: you understand that, fam because all of a sudden, these
Speaker 1: white people are gonna have morals. All of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you you are a bridge too far. Trump can get
Speaker 1: away with it. Why because that's a white man. These
Speaker 1: people are racist. I don't understand what you don't understand.
Speaker 1: They not gonna stand for no foolishness from no black people.
Speaker 1: Because if you black is weird? Bruh weird? Tim mister Walls,
Speaker 1: if these walls could talk, you're my wonder walls. Nigga
Speaker 1: bring that up? Just be like, what's up with your
Speaker 1: man's in them? They're gonna argue about their service in military.
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to paint themselves as one of us
Speaker 1: is the most regular, and they are. Again, they all
Speaker 1: got a lot to work with, you know, but hey,
Speaker 1: fools be weird. It's really all that these campaigns are
Speaker 1: trying to give y'all who normal, who weird? Because that
Speaker 1: narrative tends to work. We'll see love politics all right. Now,
