Speaker 1: with your girl Mayby b. And we're kicking this bonus
Speaker 1: one off real reckless because first stuff, I gotta tell
Speaker 1: y'all about an ignorant moment that I just witnessed to
Speaker 1: none other than a birthday dinner that I went to.
Speaker 1: If you didn't listen to the Tuesday one. I already
Speaker 1: brought some ignorance there, but I got some more ignorance.
Speaker 1: And when I say that, I laughed so hard I
Speaker 1: almost showed y'all I was high as Helle. I put
Speaker 1: this in my notes just to talk about it with
Speaker 1: y'all today. I could not believe my ears. And it
Speaker 1: got me thinking, is there ignorance in food orders? When
Speaker 1: you don't know the food you're ordering? That is the
Speaker 1: ignorant take that I have to talk about today, and
Speaker 1: you'll laugh about it. But of course we're also getting
Speaker 1: into this is America where we're looking ahead and making
Speaker 1: some Bowl twenty twenty six political predictions. And while we're
Speaker 1: at it, we got to ask the real question nobody wants.
Speaker 1: The answer rolled out is gambling the new crack epidemic?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I took it there because suddenly it's everywhere.
Speaker 1: Is this about freedom? This ain't free? Or are we
Speaker 1: regulating it in the same way we did weed so
Speaker 1: that the powers can be in line with the pockets,
Speaker 1: with the one percenters. We dive into it. The whole
Speaker 1: Rico Siites conversation involving Shake, Drake, Ac and Aiden, who
Speaker 1: was taking track look at me. I'm over here, baby

Speaker 1: the women, we can't wear what we want to wear,
Speaker 1: where we want to wear it without the Internet having
Speaker 1: something to say. I also have a double down or

Speaker 1: things out here what celebrities say, the darnis things, getting
Speaker 1: into Jim Jones versus Cameron versus the let's wrap about
Speaker 1: a podcast crew verses fifty cent versus all the things,
Speaker 1: and we have some thoughts about these rappers on microphones.

Speaker 1: You see the wired charging, you know what? You know what.
Speaker 1: A part of me did, very briefly fill aligned with
Speaker 1: the Delta CEOs sentiments that is very classic and very ignorant.
Speaker 1: But I felt him just a little bit. I don't
Speaker 1: know if y'all saw. Over the holidays, the Delta CEO
Speaker 1: spoke out and was like, these budget airlines are ruining
Speaker 1: the experience of flights, basically insinuating that, hey, the peasants
Speaker 1: shouldn't even be able to fly, like they should just
Speaker 1: be on the Greyhound or road.
Speaker 3: Trip it megabus attitude when they when they changed how
Speaker 3: the sky miles kind of It's like it's appealing to
Speaker 3: a big spin in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Oh and I'm not gonna lie a part of me
Speaker 1: every time I walk into it. Every time the lounge
Speaker 1: has a line, I say, bro, I thought we took
Speaker 1: care of this. Why are there so many people in you?
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people.
Speaker 3: Whole attitude at the airport in New Orleans because the
Speaker 3: lady was like, oh, we're at capacity and capacity we
Speaker 3: weren't trying to hear nothing about that ship. The fuck
Speaker 3: are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Myles?
Speaker 2: Like I'm about to say, listen, and that's why you
Speaker 2: moved the gold post to make it a little bit more.
Speaker 1: And look at us. We're on this side and we're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: keep over the goal post still.
Speaker 2: And the convenience listen.
Speaker 1: Well, I wanted to share with y'all. Y'all know I
Speaker 1: went to a birthday dinner and because I'm in dry January,
Speaker 1: a bitch was on drugs and so I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn not be having the itch to
Speaker 1: be on some sort of ice. I can't go out
Speaker 1: of public and be sober sober, but no, So I
Speaker 1: literally ended up writing this in my notes because I
Speaker 1: could not believe it. So was this was Saturday.
Speaker 3: Night, Saturday night, Saturday Jason looking the calendar to make
Speaker 3: sure that this, whatever this is, it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was still within it, so y'all. So, so
Speaker 1: I'm out last night, and there's two parts of this.
Speaker 1: It's where maybe your thoughts should be, you know, it
Speaker 1: should stay in your mind, but my thoughts all spilled
Speaker 1: right out because I didn't give a fuck. So the
Speaker 1: first okay, so I set across from a lovely lady
Speaker 1: who had like a huge scar on her from her
Speaker 1: mouth down to her neck. Okay, well I didn't know
Speaker 1: where it came from. And so mind y'all, I just
Speaker 1: had a friend, y'all. See underneath here, so body had
Speaker 1: just got me.
Speaker 2: Body is my cat baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a very abusive relationship. I understand abusive relationships
Speaker 1: because he'll beat my ass and then I just want
Speaker 1: to cuddle with him. So I just want to move,
Speaker 1: you know I do. I just want to show him love.
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll stop scratching me. Anyways, So I have this
Speaker 1: scratch under my lips. I'm thinking this bitch probably got
Speaker 1: a cattle or dollars, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at the scratch, and I wanted to, like,
Speaker 1: you know, what's the word when you get with somebody commisery?
Speaker 1: Now that's okay.
Speaker 2: I wanted to boss.
Speaker 1: Bond.
Speaker 2: I wanted to bond with people.
Speaker 1: About being a fur bomb. Assuming that's how she got hers,
Speaker 1: assuming that's how she got so y'all, I'm having a
Speaker 1: conversation with the people next to me, Mini, this is
Speaker 1: my thought, but I didn't say it out loud yet
Speaker 1: because we hadn't talked yet. Next thing I know, she's
Speaker 1: telling the story about this car on her face. She
Speaker 1: got shot.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 1: Actually it was a ricochet of a bullet that sliced
Speaker 1: her face, and so it sued up. And so as
Speaker 1: she's telling this horrific story about being shot in the
Speaker 1: face from niggas that sold a car that ended up outside,
Speaker 1: she thought it was a brother they were shooting.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 1: It was a robbery with ship they were breaking New York. No, nigga,
Speaker 1: this was here in Atlanta. You know, this is where
Speaker 1: they do the armed robberies for the car. What's her
Speaker 1: boy's name from?
Speaker 2: Mate?
Speaker 1: Do listen? Oh no, no, let's be very clear. The
Speaker 1: interior designer and contractor that I got to do the studio.
Speaker 1: Guess where I found her? In dot com worse at
Speaker 1: l Scoop. She had a video of car breaking and
Speaker 1: I clicked who recorded the video? And I said, oh, Ship.
Speaker 3: Scoop, you like how that clip was shot?
Speaker 2: I don't know information.
Speaker 1: We know the information was so I just came.
Speaker 2: This.
Speaker 3: She looks on it like, what, that's a crazy that.
Speaker 2: He went through it.
Speaker 1: By the way, By the way, for those of y'all
Speaker 1: listening who are unfamiliar with atl Scoop, atl Scoop gives
Speaker 1: you all the crime and bullet all the fluctory that's
Speaker 1: happening in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: That's like NYC school, NYC school. Yeo, okay, okay. For
Speaker 3: a second, I thought it was just some about Atlanta.
Speaker 3: That was like, oh, yeah, that's so anyway.
Speaker 1: So she goes and shares this story and after I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: that's a way cooler story about the cut on your face.
Speaker 1: I thought you had a pet. And so then that's
Speaker 1: how we became talking at that point, right, because I
Speaker 1: had to deal with my inner thoughts of thinking we
Speaker 1: bonded over having but yet this bitch got shot in
Speaker 1: the whole face. You know what I mean, And I
Speaker 1: was like, damn you you're you're scratches way cooler than mine.
Speaker 2: I can't even tell my story now.
Speaker 1: At bit I said, but you got a shot on
Speaker 1: the face, and I'm like, I got an orange cat,
Speaker 1: I got a tabby, all right. Anyways, so that goes
Speaker 1: into us like just being now now we're talking right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, that's the story that I came back
Speaker 1: to her at the end of which was all so
Speaker 1: weird as fuck. So I didn't get to the end
Speaker 1: of what happened after she got shot because I got
Speaker 1: pulled away into another conversation. I way twenty minutes later,
Speaker 1: and to wait, you didn't finish the story about your
Speaker 1: getting shot. What happened next? That's literally how I did that,
Speaker 1: so very awkward. This is what happens when you're hot.
Speaker 1: So anyways, food starts being delivered because again, you know,
Speaker 1: parties started late becase finally start getting food around eleven.
Speaker 1: So I see that she ordered the tuna tartary, but
Speaker 1: she's not touching it. So I look across from her.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is where so I'm looking because baby,
Speaker 1: I actually with sam a tartar. So I look over
Speaker 1: and she's like, not touching it. She got the up
Speaker 1: but tasa bravas she got. She ordered quite a few,
Speaker 1: but she not touching this, and I kind of wanted
Speaker 1: to know if it was good. I said, oh, I said,
Speaker 1: why are you not touching?
Speaker 2: You know? Is it? Is it good?
Speaker 1: You don't like it's like you're not eating it. She
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think they cooked it. I said, girl,
Speaker 1: it's tartar. Hold on. I said, tartar means raw, and
Speaker 1: we ended up looking it up. Hold on. So this
Speaker 1: is how the conversation gets ignorant. So she's like, well,
Speaker 1: I wish it was chart hard because I don't know
Speaker 1: about this tartar. So then me and the I said, well,
Speaker 1: tartar is means it's raw, you know, like steak tartar tartar.
Speaker 1: So the girl next to me, this is where it
Speaker 1: gets real ignorant. She's like, yeah, tartar is the preparation
Speaker 1: of it, and I'm like, actually, I think it's a
Speaker 1: French word. So we're now at the table trying to google.
Speaker 3: She was fascinated by the scarf car.
Speaker 1: So we're literally at the table and now we're trying
Speaker 1: to spell tartar because I like, there's an e in that, bitch.
Speaker 1: So the girl pulls up tartar and we pull up
Speaker 1: that it's a classic French dish, so where I was right, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's a tartar is a dish. It's not the preparation,
Speaker 1: but it is. It does them from a French word,
Speaker 1: often meaning that it's finally chopped and raw, and ingredients
Speaker 1: are included, such as shallotte, capers, parsley, mustard, and often
Speaker 1: served with a raw egg as well, which is what
Speaker 1: I told her too. I said, now this is the
Speaker 1: It might be mixing there, but but you might be
Speaker 1: also eating raw egg, bitch, you know. So then it
Speaker 1: goes into my mind like, damn, people order food and
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. Hold on you ready, ain't
Speaker 1: gotta pay for it. So clearly she's like, I don't
Speaker 1: like my stuff raw. I don't like it wrong. So
Speaker 1: hear me out. The person right next to hermione, these
Speaker 1: are tapas or is calamari? So so she so she looks,
Speaker 1: so she looks over at the calamari, and I got
Speaker 1: literally the way this happened. And the person is like,
Speaker 1: anybody want calamari? The girl across from her so ignorance.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I don't like octopus. So I'm like, well, actually,
Speaker 1: are you ready? So I'm like, oh, just so you know,
Speaker 1: calamari is not octopus, it's squid. And at that very moment,
Speaker 1: the girl, who also didn't know about tartar, is like,
Speaker 1: you mean like jellyfish.
Speaker 2: So we went.
Speaker 1: And I'm so high, y'all. I'm like, we just went
Speaker 1: from calling calamari octopus to jellyfish when it's just squid.
Speaker 1: It's just squid. And maybe they're all in the same family.
Speaker 1: I know they got tentacles and they look like when
Speaker 1: you draw when you're in fifth grade. But the way
Speaker 1: that this table and I was just like wow. So
Speaker 1: we have people ordering tartari calamari and they don't know
Speaker 1: what they ordered. So a part of me was like,
Speaker 1: when I go to other countries, I ask what is
Speaker 1: this when it's a word that I am unfamiliar with?
Speaker 2: Pretty simple, you know what I mean, Like a bitch.
Speaker 1: Wit and lived in Singapore. It was ordered ben Bimbop
Speaker 1: and I said, now, what the fuck is it?
Speaker 2: Been Bimbop?
Speaker 1: Like I needed to know break you down. The fact
Speaker 1: that Americans are in America ordering dishes that they have
Speaker 1: no clue what it is.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: To be fair, tartar is a French word, and I
Speaker 1: feel like calamari might be Spanish.
Speaker 2: Let me see what is going in somewhere to eat?
Speaker 3: You just want to try something different and don't ask
Speaker 3: about it and don't even as.
Speaker 2: The waiter you know.
Speaker 1: An Italian? Okay, So this is how ignorant Americans are
Speaker 1: when words are rooted in other goddamn phonetics. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: when it comes when it's Italian and when it's French,
Speaker 1: a bitch just don't know when it's on the menu
Speaker 1: and America and they out here.
Speaker 2: To why would you order? Yeah, that's the part that's
Speaker 2: confusing to me.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, the person that ordered it, I feel
Speaker 1: like new But when it was offered to the other people,
Speaker 1: it was giving octopus and jellyfish.
Speaker 2: But what if you was present?
Speaker 1: Oh, let's be very clear, then they would maintain ignorant
Speaker 1: that I gave a lesson at the table. Let them
Speaker 1: know that you and I also got the consent to
Speaker 1: let I told them I was going to talk about
Speaker 1: them in so you should have seen so as their
Speaker 1: deciphering between jellyfish, octopus and all that, I said, y'all,
Speaker 1: I don't know how I am, but I'm writing. It's
Speaker 1: my notes talking about.
Speaker 2: I want to add him.
Speaker 1: But I did want to ask y'all if it's ignorant
Speaker 1: or if you guys have actually done this yourself where
Speaker 1: you've ordered something without the knowledge of knowing what the
Speaker 1: fuck it is.
Speaker 2: I did that and what made you do it?
Speaker 1: I need to know the psyche behind it.
Speaker 3: So years ago, when many move before this whole thing,
Speaker 3: cell phones were out for you. When I was, when
Speaker 3: I was working, I had a nine to five early
Speaker 3: on doing this, you know, you know, as we enter
Speaker 3: this podcast space, and I remember we went went our
Speaker 3: department went to a lunch thing or whatever. Now I'm
Speaker 3: thinking it was in Long Island and I think it
Speaker 3: was in New High Park, Rising, one of them whatever.
Speaker 2: We went to this this this.
Speaker 3: This restaurant, so pardon, I'm not ignorant now, So now,
Speaker 3: your coach, they had brought out appetizers and stuff, right,
Speaker 3: and the first thing I saw, what the well, I
Speaker 3: didn't know it was calamary.
Speaker 4: How did you say calamari?
Speaker 2: Is that? How is that how you said? That's how
Speaker 2: you said calamari?
Speaker 1: Calamary?
Speaker 2: It sounds like a listen, check this out though, And
Speaker 2: I prefaced it by saying.
Speaker 1: Thought it was ring. You thought it was onion ring so.
Speaker 3: Boom, yes, so that nigga. I took one and I
Speaker 3: dipped it in the sauce, right, and I thought it.
Speaker 2: Was marinara boom. So that I had it, I'm chewing.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, he's chewing it.
Speaker 3: So my colleague, you know at the time, Asian lady,
Speaker 3: she's super. She's like you and the say like she said,
Speaker 3: something is not right and she and she leaned in
Speaker 3: up to Me's like she's like you are. I said, yeah,
Speaker 3: but what And I said, yo, why the onion rings
Speaker 3: so tough? And she Yo.
Speaker 2: That's not just calamari. And I'm like what why? What? Okay,
Speaker 2: it's why I'm thinking she said that squeaz.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, if I hadn't known that before
Speaker 3: I ate, I wouldn't have ate it.
Speaker 1: Did you eat calamari? Now you know what it is?
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a growing No.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not this.
Speaker 3: No Elevation's not gonna eat that. That's the one thing
Speaker 3: in that culture that I'm not eating.
Speaker 1: And that culture nigga is no. The word is entertainment,
Speaker 1: Italian entertainment. So calamari comes from the Italian meaning like
Speaker 1: meaning squid, but it's not Italian.
Speaker 3: It's just like Italian word steakhouse Italian, you know. But
Speaker 3: but it's just tough. It's tough though, a tough PiZZ
Speaker 3: of thing that well, maybe they overcooked it. I feel
Speaker 3: like if you get a good calamar should be like.
Speaker 5: If you think you're biting an onion, but you knew
Speaker 5: right that I thought that it was.
Speaker 1: That's because yeah, people ignorant.
Speaker 3: I've seen a restaurant or all of that.
Speaker 1: The fact that she sat there after ordering tartar and
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it's like it ain't cooked and I
Speaker 1: don't know why it ain't cooked.
Speaker 2: And I said, so she didn't eat nothing.
Speaker 1: Well, she ordered the potato the patatta's prophecy. Those were
Speaker 1: just potatoes and mayo, you know what I mean. That
Speaker 1: the girl next to her ordered the calamari that she
Speaker 1: thought was jellyfish, and then yeah, she didn't She didn't
Speaker 1: eat the salmon tartar at all.
Speaker 3: She thought it was jellyfish. Makes me wonder has she
Speaker 3: ever seen a jellyfish before?
Speaker 1: She just you, you gotta stay away from But that's
Speaker 1: I'm saying. When you think of even a drawing jellyfish, squid, octopus,
Speaker 1: they all they all look the same.
Speaker 2: But it's like with a jellyfish.
Speaker 1: Tecicles are not a monolith. People matter anyways, you know what.
Speaker 1: I'm not staying here. I'm not saying here. We've already
Speaker 1: been for people who don't have a food. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. The small bites. It be wolfing
Speaker 1: y'all's asses. All right, Well, let's get into it. I

Speaker 6: She was like, girl, I don't even know if I'm.
Speaker 1: Going on Tuesday.
Speaker 6: I was like what She was like, get my flight
Speaker 6: to the Turks And I'm like, but he got your
Speaker 6: flight back with you. You're flying from somewhere else. He's
Speaker 6: not flying with you. So she's like, yeah, but he
Speaker 6: planned the trip for us without getting my flight And
Speaker 6: I'm like, bro, how much is the flight to get
Speaker 6: to the turk room where you at?
Speaker 1: Three hundred and eighty dollars?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 6: So she lets him know. He's like, to be quite
Speaker 6: honest with you, It actually didn't cross my mind because
Speaker 6: I assumed we were booking our flights together.
Speaker 1: And what I will tell you, though.
Speaker 6: I'm very bothered by the fact that you wouldn't even
Speaker 6: jump on a plane to come for this trip I
Speaker 6: planned for.
Speaker 1: If your friend actually liked this, three eighty wouldn't have
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have even been a thing. The real fact
Speaker 1: of the matter is she don't really like this.
Speaker 6: That's not true, bro, She's excited about him every post
Speaker 6: on her clothes.
Speaker 1: Friend. I'm saying this is this is the root of
Speaker 1: when we started really arguing on the call.
Speaker 6: I'm like, you went through the whole group chap to
Speaker 6: tell us how great this guy is, how smart he is,
Speaker 6: how thoughtful he got the hotel you wanted, the.
Speaker 1: Driver that like that you didn't need. When a woman
Speaker 1: experiences something really likes it, anything less than that is
Speaker 1: settling because she don't really like it.
Speaker 8: Get you don't do what you and this lot these holes,
Speaker 8: It's gonna have nobody, and it's okay to have nobody
Speaker 8: until the right one come. Why does the right one
Speaker 8: need to do every single thing?
Speaker 1: Okay, double down or take it back. There were a
Speaker 1: lot of thoughts from this cliss and I think that
Speaker 1: I will do both. I am still gonna double down.
Speaker 1: And the fact that I do believe that once you
Speaker 1: are given certain things from partnership or relationships or in dating,
Speaker 1: that accepting less than that is settling. So like hear
Speaker 1: me out, he me out. If you are a woman
Speaker 1: who has experienced a man who shows up with flowers,
Speaker 1: who let's make it small, right, who plans dates, who
Speaker 1: shows up on time, who is considerate of your successes
Speaker 1: in your professional setting. To me, if those are things
Speaker 1: that you like that you've already gotten, for you to
Speaker 1: be with a man who doesn't exhibit those things, you
Speaker 1: are settling with a man because you feel like this
Speaker 1: is the bar because I've already received it. Now, I
Speaker 1: get that there's women out here expecting things from niggas
Speaker 1: that they ain't never got before. Sure the bills paid
Speaker 1: the full all expense pay trips, but never got it
Speaker 1: can't afford it themselves. For a woman, though, who has
Speaker 1: experienced certain things, I don't think that it's a bad
Speaker 1: thing when they decide if a man can't show up
Speaker 1: this way, it's not enough for me. However, there was
Speaker 1: a bar dropped m that I did also see get
Speaker 1: picked up in the comments. They Yes, I don't believe
Speaker 1: that a woman should remain single until a man checks
Speaker 1: off all the boxes, because I think that's unrealistic. Sure, however,
Speaker 1: I do think that it is okay for a woman,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna stand on this one. It is okay
Speaker 1: for a woman to if she is not satisfied with
Speaker 1: what she's getting out of this situation or what a
Speaker 1: man is bringing to the table, for her to walk
Speaker 1: away and not feel like she's subjected to this person
Speaker 1: just for the sake of dating being hard or it
Speaker 1: being rough out here, or the pickings being slimmed.
Speaker 7: Like.
Speaker 1: So, I'm gonna stand on it. And for all of
Speaker 1: y'all thinking that a woman being single is just so terrible.
Speaker 1: It's not the same way you fucking mothers and fathers
Speaker 1: keep back.
Speaker 2: So much fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, say fine, we say rewarding. That's a very
Speaker 3: different thing. That's different things when I'm rewarding. So two things. A.
Speaker 3: The word is is doing a lot of heavy listening.
Speaker 3: You're saying that the woman is settling. Does she is
Speaker 3: she settling or does she feel like she's because because
Speaker 3: is settling A suggests like, why are you even fucking
Speaker 3: with this person.
Speaker 2: How did you get to this point with this person?
Speaker 2: You have to know even how to get to this point.
Speaker 3: So to me, you kind of already understand what's going on,
Speaker 3: and so if you feel like you're settling, to me,
Speaker 3: that's something you got to examine yourself about. Why do
Speaker 3: I have this emotional reaction to the fact that the
Speaker 3: man is doing whatever things I think I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 1: Getting now, I want to ask y'all then, And I
Speaker 1: don't know if y'all have offered Jason. We know you're married,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if there's been the offer in
Speaker 1: your past.
Speaker 2: You've already given up on your.
Speaker 1: I wanted to know if because another part of my
Speaker 1: you know, opinion on this that that didn't make the clip,
Speaker 1: was that this could have possibly been a test. Now,
Speaker 1: when I say a test, clearly he was telling the
Speaker 1: girl to buy her one way there. He would pay
Speaker 1: for the one way back. And when it comes to
Speaker 1: men with money or just wanting to make sure a
Speaker 1: woman wants him for him and not just what he
Speaker 1: brings to the table in terms of finances, men will
Speaker 1: often kind of put a test in there. And I
Speaker 1: want to know if any of y'all have ever tested
Speaker 1: a woman in terms of not so, then I would
Speaker 1: I would like to know then how y'all have given
Speaker 1: a woman a test and if she passed or.
Speaker 2: Failed it, I personally don't really believe it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you class, Like.
Speaker 3: You don't get to find out what kind of person
Speaker 3: I am via manipulation, like like, that's not how you
Speaker 3: find out my character?
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Like yeah, life is going to present situations where you'll
Speaker 3: find out what somebody is really really on you. It
Speaker 3: will always show itself in various ways. Just keep living,
Speaker 3: and if you fuck with this person in your life,
Speaker 3: things will go on and you'd be like, oh, I
Speaker 3: thought you would have did this if you really fucking.
Speaker 2: Me, you didn't.
Speaker 3: I don't need to like inspect their gadget my way
Speaker 3: through some ship to try to figure out whether or not. Also,
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna test you, like, I don't think the
Speaker 3: three hundred and eighty dollars is the real test. If
Speaker 3: you're tricking off, how he solid he's tricking off? Like,
Speaker 3: I don't think the three hundred.
Speaker 1: And eighty dollars word tricking You know that that's a.
Speaker 2: Loaded that's a loaded term.
Speaker 1: What can he say over tricking? That's a sense of
Speaker 1: ave word skip a good word when it's right.
Speaker 3: Now, if you are spending your funds in the process
Speaker 3: of courting a woman, like if you're willing to spend
Speaker 3: that kind of money, right financial, But I don't think
Speaker 3: like I'm gonna need if you're going to test somebody,
Speaker 3: I need a bigger test than three hundred and eighty bucks.
Speaker 1: What would be a bigger.
Speaker 3: Test, something that's more valuable than that, Like, to me,
Speaker 3: that's not really good.
Speaker 2: Oh does she want me for me? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was willing to spend three dollars to go
Speaker 3: on the twenty thousand dollars vacation. As now she really
Speaker 3: wants me for me?
Speaker 2: Like, that's not what's the expectation of that trip? Though?
Speaker 1: That's what I said too, because I had to ask.
Speaker 1: I said the price, I said, have they sucked it?
Speaker 1: Because they were? Yeah, yeah, he expecting for the plyout
Speaker 1: And I.
Speaker 2: Said, but that's doing a lot.
Speaker 3: Just yeah.
Speaker 2: Inflation is a mother. I feel like my card was
Speaker 2: debitad here and and ship. We're trying to hold. We're
Speaker 2: trying to hold this guy's one way you can go.
Speaker 3: You can go ahead down, tell me this new hotel,
Speaker 3: a brand new hotel, brand new.
Speaker 5: It's not weird that he said it didn't cross my
Speaker 5: mind like he did all that planning, all that bred
Speaker 5: up a drive wed he I didn't cross my mind.
Speaker 1: That's weird. Lady lady, ladies, just know that a king
Speaker 1: and job will be taking y'all to Jonesborough.
Speaker 2: Y'all.
Speaker 1: It's just ain't going no where, y'alla county. Bring your
Speaker 1: damn Yeah, y'all said all the way to the Turks.
Speaker 1: That wasn't necessary.
Speaker 2: That's just a lot.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, I just we We didn't have
Speaker 1: much pushback from men on this. We didn't have Edin
Speaker 1: but and Wolf in the studio, but Wolf did and
Speaker 1: have Mike, and I knew y'all would give me a
Speaker 1: laugh out of that. But yeah, I doubled down and
Speaker 1: took that back. Isn't that a great way for me
Speaker 1: to take accountability at the top of twenty twenty six
Speaker 1: because I think I I doubled down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's accountability.
Speaker 1: Well that's just started me writing something. I'm not out
Speaker 1: of your writing shit. Okay, baby, it's okay to wap
Speaker 1: and turn up. In February listen, apparently we ain't. We
Speaker 1: ain't had it here in Atlanta like y season, like
Speaker 1: it's given fall. Still we you know, six six seven. Well,
Speaker 1: let's get into this is America, don't got and for
Speaker 1: this one, I guess before we get into just because
Speaker 1: because we're talking again Aiden Drake ac and all the
Speaker 1: things with the RICO. Before we get there, let's kind
Speaker 1: of get a little politicky with twenty twenty six political predictions.
Speaker 1: Since we are still at the top of the year,
Speaker 1: let's go down the list. What do we want to
Speaker 1: predict in terms of what we can expect or or
Speaker 1: feel within within this year of a second year of Trump,
Speaker 1: a hot cheeto in office in power. Dude, do y'all
Speaker 1: have any.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that I think one of the
Speaker 3: things that we're probably going to see in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six is more like Republican infighting.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that there are issues.
Speaker 3: I think there are issues within the Republican Party where
Speaker 3: it's kind of like people know that Trump isn't exactly
Speaker 3: a lame duck president yet he still got almost three
Speaker 3: whole years in office. But I think people understand there's
Speaker 3: a life after Magan. Now they're acting like there's a
Speaker 3: life after Magan and that they need to kind of
Speaker 3: pivot themselves to be tolerable after all this shit is over.
Speaker 3: They're more willing to speak publicly against Trump, They're more
Speaker 3: willing to push back against his agendas publicly. They're more
Speaker 3: willing to use all the machinations of Congress to get
Speaker 3: things done that are more important than the Trump agenda.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And so I think as twenty twenty six goes on
Speaker 3: and we go further into his presidency, I think you're
Speaker 3: going to see more of a decline within the Party
Speaker 3: of the politicians themselves of Trump support. Now, whether that
Speaker 3: trickles down to the voters or not, that's what we'll
Speaker 3: find out in November.
Speaker 2: Do voters still fuck with Trump that heavy?
Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's the other thing too, Right. Trump
Speaker 1: said that if Republicans don't win, he believes he'll be impeached.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that might be the most honest, but he's.
Speaker 1: But he didn't.
Speaker 2: That's that's number one. This is number two. But wasn't.
Speaker 1: Wasn't he impeached or or up for well, and so
Speaker 1: I don't even think I think even him saying that
Speaker 1: is lippable because it hasn't done nothing.
Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting that he brought that up because to
Speaker 3: your point, yeah, it hasn't affected him in any real way,
Speaker 3: but he still seems worried about it.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not lying. He's no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he's wearing these impeachments like fifty Where is the getting shot?
Speaker 1: Like I think I think him being up for impeachment
Speaker 1: for a third time and maybe getting away with it
Speaker 1: again is like I think it's it's it's it's cementing
Speaker 1: him into this of this dictatorship essentially that he's really
Speaker 1: fucking lady.
Speaker 5: I think he's dog whistling to Maga.
Speaker 1: You got to get them to vote.
Speaker 3: And this is and this is why this isn't very
Speaker 3: important because it's all enohing now, because if there's no
Speaker 3: balance to what he's doing within the power structure in
Speaker 3: the House bro the next three years, I mean, when
Speaker 3: people don't respond, you know, with their right to do so.
Speaker 1: Man, I mean, I think it's interesting and we talk
Speaker 1: about to how the Democrats lean on an emotional tug
Speaker 1: right at the heartstring, and that's kind of what I've
Speaker 1: been seeing since well while. And I'm only saying that
Speaker 1: because It's something that's been definitely circulating in my algorithm,
Speaker 1: is the continuous post on human life. And so there
Speaker 1: was just there was just a white male who was
Speaker 1: posted who ended up dying because he had to choose
Speaker 1: between paying for his inhaler he had asthma or paying
Speaker 1: for rent. Right. And so as we're talking about what
Speaker 1: just happened with the lockout, the government shutdown that took
Speaker 1: place and them not holding strong, was the rise in
Speaker 1: medical insurance and how it's impacting people. And Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: said that because we didn't hold on to that government shutdown,
Speaker 1: that five million Americans that we were looking at possibly
Speaker 1: five million lives being lost because they weren't able to
Speaker 1: pay for their medications or things like that because it's
Speaker 1: just not affordable. Healthcare is just.
Speaker 2: Not affordable, and they don't have a plan for that.
Speaker 1: Well, so that's why I said, there's not yet a plan.
Speaker 1: But I do think it's interesting that if we talk
Speaker 1: about propaganda and what they feed us in our algorithm,
Speaker 1: I've been seeing so many stories of just regular people
Speaker 1: passing away or dying because they couldn't afford the basic
Speaker 1: necessities of their medical needs because of the cost of it,
Speaker 1: and then tying in there the cost of living where
Speaker 1: we still have where you in order to get in
Speaker 1: anywhere you need to make three times the rent. But
Speaker 1: we're also being told that AI is taking all these jobs,
Speaker 1: and you know, we're not seeing a rise in people's salaries.
Speaker 1: It's just not happening. And so the cost of living
Speaker 1: is just becoming like nothing's happening there and nothing.
Speaker 2: And that's what I mean.
Speaker 3: This midterms is going to be interesting for a lot
Speaker 3: of reasons because all of these, all those factors that
Speaker 3: you just laid out are gonna be on voters' minds.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, we've been talking about the unfortunate
Speaker 1: passing of Anthony Joshua's two friends over in ninet. But
Speaker 1: I was just having this conversation with this super, super
Speaker 1: nice Senegalese uber driver the other day and we were
Speaker 1: talking about different parts of Africa and the countries and
Speaker 1: how it's ran. And for me, one of the scariest
Speaker 1: things about Nigeria clearly isn't how they don't have Now
Speaker 1: I'm learning that they don't have a good health care
Speaker 1: infrastructure over there either, But for me, it was the
Speaker 1: vast distinction between the haves and the have nots, right,
Speaker 1: and so what I'm seeing here is now that push
Speaker 1: of a middle class leaving our own country, which to
Speaker 1: me is what makes this country so incredible. It makes
Speaker 1: me feel so seen and safe. Even from growing up
Speaker 1: to leaving corporate America to making my own money, one
Speaker 1: of the things that made me feel the most unsafe
Speaker 1: was that stark difference between the haves and have nots
Speaker 1: when I visited Nigeria. And so seeing that we're in
Speaker 1: this position now where that's what's kind of happening here
Speaker 1: in our country, where you're having to decide whether you
Speaker 1: get your asthma you know, your asthma tank, or you
Speaker 1: pay rent, it's scary.
Speaker 3: And that's just scared politicians like not even like this
Speaker 3: isn't about promoting violence. But what I'm saying is that
Speaker 3: you can only push society so far before there's a
Speaker 3: breaking point. And what America hasn't really seen a breaking
Speaker 3: point in modern times?
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that?
Speaker 2: Like, we don't know what famine looks like in America?
Speaker 2: You don't think you don't.
Speaker 1: Think COVID gave us that, not the millions of people.
Speaker 3: I think I think it gave US an idea maybe
Speaker 3: of what it looked like, but things were still civilized
Speaker 3: to the for the most part, there was still some
Speaker 3: level of.
Speaker 1: The Only reason why I disagree with that, the only
Speaker 1: reason why I disagree with that is only because we've seen,
Speaker 1: to me, the country be shook by multiple things that
Speaker 1: have calls divide. I mean, we could literally go back
Speaker 1: to nine to eleven with with the terrorist attack, we
Speaker 1: could go to meet the COVID, we could go to
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight crash and economic crisis, the recession.
Speaker 1: I they're they're skirting around this our word and being
Speaker 1: real coy with it. I think we've been in a
Speaker 1: recession for the last three years, and so to me,
Speaker 1: we've seen this shakedown take place. And what what I
Speaker 1: want to predict from a political landscape, because what we've
Speaker 1: seen over the last five years is the I don't
Speaker 1: want to say growth or I guess move of regulation
Speaker 1: being removed from weed right, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: who got locked up for weed charges finally being released
Speaker 1: because now it's.
Speaker 2: You know, Biden gave some clemency to a lot to
Speaker 2: some a good amount of folks.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to turn this into while we're talking
Speaker 1: about shifts in this economy, shifts in this country. To
Speaker 1: me seeing this rico take place and having the conversation.
Speaker 1: Now at the top of the year, we were talking
Speaker 1: about Chauncey Billups and all of the coaches between N
Speaker 1: B A, n C double A, all of the betting.
Speaker 1: We now have another rico with Steak, which is another
Speaker 1: gambling site. Drake academics Aiden Ross streamers rappers who apparently
Speaker 1: are tightened because these Steak dollars that aren't real were
Speaker 1: being used to stream and go into music's which also
Speaker 1: lead into why Drake may have been the most streamed
Speaker 1: artist last year despite not really dropping anything that made
Speaker 1: any noise. Jason, damn, how else can you? I didn't
Speaker 1: say that.
Speaker 2: I just say.
Speaker 1: I just say that. I didn't say that. The people
Speaker 1: are saying. I'm saying with the people and say, y'all know,
Speaker 1: Drake let me down. Y'all know, Jake Cole let NOAs down.
Speaker 1: Drake let me down. Okay. I thought he was coming
Speaker 1: to take to take the crown.
Speaker 2: Goddamn it.
Speaker 1: He said, all right, y'all, I'm just gonna hang out
Speaker 1: with this streamer and hang out in a Jason, what
Speaker 1: exactly is happening. What is the over all consensus of
Speaker 1: what is happening with this rico? Explain it to a
Speaker 1: fifth grader, because yeah, some of our yes.
Speaker 5: So it was a class action lawsuits by two women
Speaker 5: in Virginia trying to get I think, like five million
Speaker 5: dollars UH in restitution. And you know, the the rical
Speaker 5: part of it is basically they're saying that Drake Aiden
Speaker 5: Ross and there's this guy, George Waying who operates like
Speaker 5: a couple of different popular Instagram accounts. They're saying that
Speaker 5: they did this organized activity to defraud people and you're
Speaker 5: you know, asking for tips on the state platform and
Speaker 5: they were converting those tips into like crypto to then allegedly,
Speaker 5: you know, purchased inflated streaming numbers.
Speaker 1: Now, I just wanted to have a quick conversation about
Speaker 1: how we think steak is like a form.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the way Saudi or about to take over every.
Speaker 1: Street playing are you going to Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 2: For like a gig? Like they're gonna give me a
Speaker 2: couple of dollars?
Speaker 3: At this point, I don't think I can, only because
Speaker 3: of the fact that it's like, well, the question is
Speaker 3: for me like target. If you're Dave Chappelle and you
Speaker 3: can just eat the bad pr and don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: Okay, if you're a.
Speaker 3: Nigga that's not already rich, and you go over there
Speaker 3: and you give up your dignity too fast, you don't
Speaker 3: have nothing to come back to.
Speaker 1: Y'all said ask me this twenty seven. I get my money,
Speaker 1: they ain't gonna give a.
Speaker 2: I feel different.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, what would you find?
Speaker 2: So Ed Craven?
Speaker 3: Okay, who's who's in the Australian billionaire entrepreneur he's owned?
Speaker 1: That might make sense why Drake was over in Australia.
Speaker 2: Trani is Tranni T E h R eight And look
Speaker 2: at you being right geographic? Yeah you know what that?
Speaker 1: He the H and A means he's defined.
Speaker 2: He's the fine.
Speaker 1: Crazy you just said that.
Speaker 3: Wait, so these are the owners of steak or the
Speaker 3: people who have the biggest vested interest in Steak.
Speaker 2: You said, I'm being.
Speaker 1: Okay, I get it, but you can't. But you're not
Speaker 1: allowed to say that.
Speaker 2: Bro, I'm just spelling. You can get I was just
Speaker 2: giving what is oo? Trani? He's like you could be.
Speaker 3: First of all, everybody knows when you read any online
Speaker 3: news article, the newspaper. In your mind, everybody plays red, black,
Speaker 3: brown and yellow fellow. We always do it, always look
Speaker 3: at the name, and then we always place them geographically.
Speaker 2: What we're doing, maga mega social media.
Speaker 3: We have a black story and it be uh must
Speaker 3: be at your quiesha yeah, fatigued.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not so.
Speaker 1: You said, if there's an h or it's Muhammed. I
Speaker 1: know you think Muhammad too.
Speaker 2: Well, I said, Terran. I just wanted to make sure.
Speaker 1: I know we heard the silent h K.
Speaker 2: I'm from Australia.
Speaker 1: When you're right, you're right, because when I see that
Speaker 1: the wind, Yeah yeah, you said.
Speaker 2: That's probably why he was in Australia a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, that's what it's given off. Sure, yeah, A.
Speaker 5: King is about to turn this into only murders four
Speaker 5: billionaires said, because maybe.
Speaker 3: I think maybe maybe it was just miscommunication and misunder misrepresentation, understanding.
Speaker 2: Of what that relationship looks like as far as what
Speaker 2: they can.
Speaker 1: Do now aside from aside from Drake's relationship, when we
Speaker 1: talk about poisoning the communities, right, the community, poisoning the community,
Speaker 1: I mean, will there at all be any I guess
Speaker 1: recourse or discourse to like we saw everyone get upset,
Speaker 1: well not even physical discourse, right, we did see And
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can look the subjectson, but
Speaker 1: I'm I'm relaying this to all of the people that
Speaker 1: lost money and the influencers that end up having to
Speaker 1: pay back some level of money for the suit against
Speaker 1: Fire festival. Right, So you had all of these influencers
Speaker 1: telling people to spend their money for this festival and
Speaker 1: it was false. Now, if you have this type of lawsuit,
Speaker 1: mind you just in one state. Stake is across multiple states, so.
Speaker 2: It says it's illegal in Arizona, Connecticut, Delament.
Speaker 1: Yet there's certain states that gambling is still not That's
Speaker 1: why I also Prize Picks all of that promoting Jersey.
Speaker 1: You can't still you can't.
Speaker 3: Have you here because they want so.
Speaker 1: So I want to ask you, you guys, though, knowing
Speaker 1: that we're in this economic crumble, how we feel like
Speaker 1: this push for our community and the nation to get
Speaker 1: into this gambling addiction, how you compare it to a
Speaker 1: crack epademic, or how you compared it to other addictions
Speaker 1: that I'm literally am comparing this ship to the crack
Speaker 1: academic because it's gonna fuck up these households that already.
Speaker 5: And mess bad, like poor communities that like what everybody's
Speaker 5: cheering for nas when he got the casino bid in
Speaker 5: New York and it sucks.
Speaker 2: It's like.
Speaker 7: That.
Speaker 5: But so it's like casinos are they're not good for
Speaker 5: lower income communities. Like there's just studies over a fifty
Speaker 5: year period, like and people will say, like, oh, well,
Speaker 5: it'll get them jobs and they can work in casino.
Speaker 5: There's a small amount of people are working in the casino.
Speaker 5: The rest of the community there who are gambling their
Speaker 5: paychecks to try to catch a lick.
Speaker 1: It's not good for them, you know what.
Speaker 2: I mean, Like, yeah, we have self discipline as as sure.
Speaker 5: Sure when the c I A, when the CIA pour
Speaker 5: is crack into the neighborhood, it's hard to have.
Speaker 1: This is about saying Pobi Niggas said, they're not spending
Speaker 1: money on bottles no more, they're spending money on parlays.
Speaker 3: But I think casinos it's hard to have discipline when
Speaker 3: there's an outside determining factor and force it's tipping the scale.
Speaker 2: But you got to mean money to walk in these places.
Speaker 2: No you don't, No, no, no.
Speaker 1: And that'll be their last twenty But.
Speaker 2: They had a choice.
Speaker 10: Oh here we are.
Speaker 2: No, honestly, look, lady's gonna come from down to run
Speaker 2: that corner.
Speaker 5: Boy.
Speaker 1: Listen, hey, we do have an our own choices.
Speaker 2: No, here's what it is. When I go play Powerball
Speaker 2: in Mega right, yeah, powerful.
Speaker 3: Mega, magamillions millions, you play magamillions, God damn. Like when
Speaker 3: I played Mega Millions, that ship went up five dollars,
Speaker 3: So you know what I did, Like, damn, I don't
Speaker 3: want to spend five dollars in its one ticket. I
Speaker 3: advanced to the power Bow because that's still two dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I made a conscious decision, and I think that comes
Speaker 3: from a reasonable logical place of how but I could
Speaker 3: buy whitings and French fries for five for seven bucks?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could go buy Tatar for tatar.
Speaker 3: It's like it's still we do have three adults, man,
Speaker 3: we got look through trial and everything.
Speaker 1: The slave adults have a choice.
Speaker 2: That's I'm not leaning into that one. Are you giving
Speaker 2: like twenty you saying twenty dollars?
Speaker 1: And then maybe they last because they think they can
Speaker 1: double it to forty. Like that's what that's what gambling is.
Speaker 1: That's the addiction. The same way as a drug addict.
Speaker 1: Youphine for the high, like feeling the uk feeling, you
Speaker 1: just want to feel that again. With gambling, if you've
Speaker 1: won once or you've seen someone else win, you believe
Speaker 1: you can win too.
Speaker 3: We are in a capitalistic society well also, but gambling
Speaker 3: unlike other addictions, gambling addiction has it's praying on two
Speaker 3: types of people, right, So part of it is, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're praying on low income communities who are desperate just
Speaker 3: to feel some kind of relief, and they feel like,
Speaker 3: if I could get this couple dollars, this could relieve
Speaker 3: my situation in life.
Speaker 2: I'm fucked up.
Speaker 3: The other person that is attacking is people that aren't
Speaker 3: worried about, oh it's my last twenty dollars. It's people
Speaker 3: who's your point, are addicted to that euphoria, that feeling
Speaker 3: of like I got hundreds of thousands, I don't even
Speaker 3: Drake doesn't need stake money.
Speaker 1: He doesn't.
Speaker 2: He's gambling because you're yeah, he's gambling him and aid
Speaker 2: the ross.
Speaker 3: And these rich ass niggas are gambling because they want
Speaker 3: to feel like winners.
Speaker 1: But not only do they want to feel like winners.
Speaker 1: They're promoting this feeling this you can't winning, and then
Speaker 1: the people that don't have the hundreds of millions of
Speaker 1: the also want.
Speaker 2: To participate in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so it's it's a tough thing. And what
Speaker 3: I will also, I played parlay sometimes you won. I've
Speaker 3: won once and it wasn't It was like two hundred dollars,
Speaker 3: Like I did.
Speaker 1: What you're playing pennies last names?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I put it. I put it dollars.
Speaker 1: You want to put some dollars, put it.
Speaker 2: Down, you gotta.
Speaker 3: But the funny part about what Jason was saying was
Speaker 3: that people cheered for Nas getting his casino and people
Speaker 3: killed jay Z for getting for not getting it, like
Speaker 3: he's trying to take area and Tom.
Speaker 2: Squid is kind of crazy to have a casino. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he was a part.
Speaker 1: Of already the backlash when he was a zero point
Speaker 1: one percent owner in the nets.
Speaker 2: And bringing that and this is another conversation.
Speaker 3: But Nas has been able to get away with the
Speaker 3: capitalist ship that they killed jay Z for, uh.
Speaker 1: Rap about it, because he's an investor.
Speaker 3: He's an investors, right, so he's doing all this ship
Speaker 3: he can rap about in video, and all this ship.
Speaker 2: And he got But do you think uh getting away
Speaker 2: is kind of harsh?
Speaker 3: No, I think he just makes I think he is
Speaker 3: the pursuit of what he deemed hypocrisy.
Speaker 2: Of the of the real. This is a dark k.
Speaker 3: Nobody is. I haven't heard a single person you said
Speaker 3: this is dark. This is this is I'm gonna tell
Speaker 3: you why, because I just had a thought.
Speaker 2: We see people give the last every Sunday and tides.
Speaker 3: Bring your whole Oh boy, is changing.
Speaker 1: That's game, right, faith faith based.
Speaker 3: You said that, You said that, you said darkies.
Speaker 1: Offering it's gambling.
Speaker 2: With said they're playing Bible black jack over there. That bullshit.
Speaker 3: We know people, we know people in our families or
Speaker 3: jays that we've seen they I gotta pay my ties
Speaker 3: because and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, damn, but you just got an outstanding bill that
Speaker 2: you ain't Yeah, got it? You't got it? Yeah? I
Speaker 2: mean no, there's there's definitely something to playing said.
Speaker 3: But but but there, but the reaction to how people
Speaker 3: are looking at NAS in these situations and how they're
Speaker 3: looking at jay Z, it's very very I think because
Speaker 3: jay Z is out the gate, been on that type
Speaker 3: of ship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it goes.
Speaker 3: Back to like, like is it.
Speaker 2: We're not doing that?
Speaker 1: It's like like what is it?
Speaker 2: Like? What is it real?
Speaker 3: And so if he was a degenerate rapper, then it
Speaker 3: would be Yeah, if nas wasn't kicking the knowledge, and knowledge,
Speaker 3: sure he can. But what I'm saying is that while
Speaker 3: you're kicking knowledge, you're also a hardcore capitalist, and that
Speaker 3: seems to be what people are railing against. Hard yeahs
Speaker 3: taking advantage. I think he's taking advantage of the opportunity.
Speaker 2: Of course he is, but it doesn't make you not
Speaker 2: a capitalist.
Speaker 3: Fact, But what if he's taking that money and pouring
Speaker 3: back into which he might be, but he's pouring.
Speaker 1: Into the community, that's essentially going to have a negative impact.
Speaker 2: On Well that a queen.
Speaker 3: Is Queen's and that area right, No, it's a South
Speaker 3: o Zone park but it has it has the casinos
Speaker 3: up there already.
Speaker 2: They just they just make it right YEA?
Speaker 1: Interesting? All right, Well we're talking celebrity talk here and
Speaker 1: I kind of want to lighten it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: And have you really said these can't because the way
Speaker 1: that you're going they had a choice.
Speaker 2: And I think we should. We should. Honestly, they made
Speaker 2: the wrong one. Aidan Ross. In my opinion, let's remove
Speaker 2: on from him.
Speaker 3: I saying culture, like I love what I show Speed
Speaker 3: is doing, statement that we should be amplifying and talking
Speaker 3: about and elevating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually Ross is not culture. He's y'all are.
Speaker 1: Hoping he gets got with this. RICO heard you, all right,
Speaker 1: Well and celebrities say the darnest things, y'all, We're gonna
Speaker 1: get into what the Internet has been a blaze talking
Speaker 1: about for the past like two to three weeks. It
Speaker 1: started off with doctor, you gonna have to believe doctor.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was gonna say that Shy and Bryant,
Speaker 1: but that's still up for debate. Uh love you, Syne.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I want to see where that where
Speaker 1: that doctor degree came from.
Speaker 2: She's like, no, no, no, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But she's a life coach. I just don't know where
Speaker 1: the doctor.
Speaker 2: The doctor Okay, And then when I.
Speaker 1: Looked it up, the school no longer exists. But I was,
Speaker 1: you know what's crazy. I like what she's doing though.
Speaker 1: I like what she's doing as a content creator, as
Speaker 1: a woman. I just like that she got a voice.
Speaker 1: I like what she's doing as a content creator.
Speaker 2: Positive life, right like j don'et lied and he's helping
Speaker 2: a lot of people. That's crazy.
Speaker 5: So was heive?
Speaker 3: I don't think he might have been under Yeah, there's
Speaker 3: no monk. Yeah designation is.
Speaker 1: A college dropout.
Speaker 2: Yeah this Yeah, they're.
Speaker 3: Saying that he was lying about his college education and
Speaker 3: certain things or whatever. Yeah, but he helped. He's helping
Speaker 3: a lot of people. So ultimately like that positive Like
Speaker 3: I don't care about.
Speaker 1: The nigga that was in Atlanta given these composite veneers.
Speaker 1: He helps a lot of people without being certified. He
Speaker 1: got the rego ya that somebody said, you know what think, Well,
Speaker 1: let's get into the It's basically what the Internet has
Speaker 1: been a blaze about is of two women, both doctor
Speaker 1: Seyan Bryant and what she wore to the g Z
Speaker 1: concert right before the New Year, and also Carris Bryant,
Speaker 1: who is the wife of Atlanta pastor Jamal Bryant, who
Speaker 1: drew attention. No they're not related, but she also drew
Speaker 1: attention with her flesh colored dress that she wore uh
Speaker 1: to the annual United Negro College Fund Mayor's Masked Ball
Speaker 1: right here in Atlanta, and he chose to take to
Speaker 1: the pew to call the internet and all the naysayers
Speaker 1: out about what he put his wife in. But the
Speaker 1: clip that I wanted to play before we get into
Speaker 1: thoughts on this was from Bishop Patrick Wooden of North
Speaker 1: Carolina's up ball Room Church of God. And you can't say, Jason,
Speaker 1: if you want to pull up the clip for what
Speaker 1: he had to say was fun. I think we heard
Speaker 1: enough about what people have to say about Shyan Bryant,
Speaker 1: but let's let's lean into this one before we share thoughts.
Speaker 7: When he defended a dress by saying, first of all,
Speaker 7: he bought the dress. Then he said, I wanted to
Speaker 7: address people who don't know anything, who ever been anywhere,
Speaker 7: know nothing. So I guess our objection to a man
Speaker 7: of the cloth presenting his wife in public looking like.
Speaker 2: A true dollar.
Speaker 1: A two dollars at least two times? Yeah, he said, Oh,
Speaker 1: he wanted to make sure y'all knew it was two
Speaker 1: dollars or not, not a.
Speaker 2: Cent more two dollars, the bigger than those, the greater
Speaker 2: the truth.
Speaker 1: Now, now with both of these, you have doctor Shyan Bryant,
Speaker 1: who holds the esteem of the doctor label, who gives
Speaker 1: relationship advice. What y'all. Y'all, I'm trying to explain what
Speaker 1: the people and then you have the first lady of
Speaker 1: the of a down South megachurch which is new Birth
Speaker 1: Pastor Jamal Bryant's church, and pretty much the sentiment is
Speaker 1: that both women were not dressed appropriately and unfortunately should
Speaker 1: be deemed a takedown of how the community should respect them,
Speaker 1: how people should listen to them, how they you know,
Speaker 1: don't deserve to be heard anymore based on these decisions
Speaker 1: and their clothing. And I kind of wanted to hear
Speaker 1: y'alls thoughts. I'll share mine first off, which y'all are
Speaker 1: going to be so shocked because I am here for
Speaker 1: the whores and the whore hive and how people present themselves.
Speaker 1: I think a woman should be able to wear whatever,
Speaker 1: but I also there's certain things that you put on
Speaker 1: that unfortunately, it don't matter what we say, what we do,
Speaker 1: the congregation and society and the world will judge you on.
Speaker 1: And for me, again, doctor Shambryant, beautiful lady didn't hate
Speaker 1: the outfit, just thought it wasn't styled well. So for me,
Speaker 1: I don't hate the look of the outfit. I just
Speaker 1: don't I think she should have wore black under it.
Speaker 1: The green didn't make sense. And in terms of Kerry
Speaker 1: Brian's stress, man, I think are just they don't know
Speaker 1: about materials. It definitely was flesh colored. Her skin was
Speaker 1: not showing. It was lace over a nude goddamn material
Speaker 1: it literally you couldn't see nothing. Yeah, I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not a fan of the outfit of doctor Shyan Bryant here.
Speaker 1: I think she still looked good as fuck. Like I
Speaker 1: fuck Shan, you know. I think we Askedhimo sisters. That's
Speaker 1: what our call her when we like, what's Eskimo's sister?
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're talking about it. I'm just sure we've
Speaker 1: knocked down the same niggas at some point. I feel
Speaker 1: like we the same trial, We probably the same tribe niggas.
Speaker 1: We are Eskimo Sisters. We have not discussed who.
Speaker 2: Is the same.
Speaker 1: Because these niggas, these niggas just giving it out with
Speaker 1: them and listen, they just giving it out. Anyways, I
Speaker 1: didn't want to know your thoughts, So before we get
Speaker 1: into hip hop talk real quick, just if y'all had
Speaker 1: any thoughts on this, just because the internet was going.
Speaker 3: Y'all, I don't think that. No, I don't think we
Speaker 3: got a right to call them a whole. No, I
Speaker 3: don't think you call them again. I go back to
Speaker 3: the theme everybody got a choice. You know, I'm looking
Speaker 3: at the video and I'm looking at what other people wearing.
Speaker 3: She's the most She's the one.
Speaker 1: That most provocular.
Speaker 3: I think that her thing was like, Yo, this was intentional,
Speaker 3: Like I'm gonna be the show stopper.
Speaker 1: Now I want to ask y'all because I want to
Speaker 1: lean into ignorance.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Is there anywhere? So she went to a GZ concert
Speaker 1: which was like an orchestra. It was it was supposed
Speaker 1: to be like black tie event. And then you have, uh,
Speaker 1: Carrie Bryant, Is it Carrie car car Carry Bryant who
Speaker 1: went to a gallon? And this is where I want
Speaker 1: to get ignorant. Remove it from the gallop, remove it
Speaker 1: from a black tie Unless that's your answer. Is there
Speaker 1: anywhere that you guys walk into that you do judge
Speaker 1: somebody by what they're wearing based on where you're at,
Speaker 1: Like for me, this is going to be problematic And
Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. Bonnets and pajamas. Keep them
Speaker 1: at my airport, keep them out. You already think that
Speaker 1: y'all shouldn't be flying because you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like there is just a way. But to me, the
Speaker 1: bonnets and the pajamas should not be worn at.
Speaker 2: The airport, ship.
Speaker 1: At the grocery store is not my jam. The grocery store.
Speaker 2: I don't love it. I don't even believe in like.
Speaker 3: Sandals and like birkenstocks and ship and like in public,
Speaker 3: like in public because for me, honestly and honestly, like
Speaker 3: this is more for men than for women, honestly, but
Speaker 3: like nigga, like if you got to run and go somewhere,
Speaker 3: like you're gonna fall the fun out of them, like
Speaker 3: little flappy ass shoes and bush ass whatever like that to.
Speaker 1: Me, she said, if you got to run from the cops, Yeah.
Speaker 2: It is not not practical.
Speaker 3: But like as far as like, so, first off, these
Speaker 3: two dresses are very different dresses.
Speaker 2: They are like like the sledsh color dress. I don't
Speaker 2: have no problem with.
Speaker 3: You can say, oh, well she looks naked, Well what
Speaker 3: she looks like in what she is two different things.
Speaker 2: So like to me, it's like she's not dress. It
Speaker 2: was a little bit like okay, like you I see
Speaker 2: your flow for you.
Speaker 1: You got to take that.
Speaker 2: Going on.
Speaker 3: But also like I guess my thing about it is
Speaker 3: I guess she's a she is Wait, this is why
Speaker 3: I'm clear she's married to a pastor or she is carry.
Speaker 1: Out here trying to try to trying.
Speaker 3: To she's not if Cheyenne is not connected to the church,
Speaker 3: what what exactly are we carrious what I'm saying she's
Speaker 3: not connected to the church and she's not like, what
Speaker 3: are we talking about.
Speaker 1: Because it wasn't because it wasn't from the church perspective.
Speaker 1: With her, it's the fact that she's a doctor. A
Speaker 1: doctor should not be dressed this way, whether in public
Speaker 1: or anywhere, because.
Speaker 5: Then the professions what she says to right, because because
Speaker 5: she holds men to task, yes, and about how they
Speaker 5: present themselves to get into a relationship. Then she turns
Speaker 5: around and dresses and people people are trying to.
Speaker 1: Try to you can't speak this way, and then a
Speaker 1: lot dressed like and do that.
Speaker 2: I do think there should be a standard.
Speaker 3: I think we protect the standard the fact that we said.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, what's the standard we do? We
Speaker 3: are we just standard list Now, Well, I think we
Speaker 3: can't dress how we want to do what we want
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 11: This sounds real because because you know what, because look
Speaker 11: at the end of the day, guess what the shorty's
Speaker 11: is looking at us?
Speaker 2: Fan? What are the standard we holding for the little
Speaker 2: ones everybody gonna be?
Speaker 3: I mean, like the stand to me, the standard is
Speaker 3: if you eleven, you can't be naked. If you're one
Speaker 3: hundred and eleven, you could be as naked as you
Speaker 3: want to be. That's true too, But also where are
Speaker 3: you going, like the standard for what's like if we
Speaker 3: if we if we come in here in the studio,
Speaker 3: there might be a quote unquote standing even for a part.
Speaker 2: We're in a corporate building, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You can't sit here and put your dick on the table.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just be doing that.
Speaker 1: Crazy.
Speaker 2: That is a wild boy.
Speaker 1: The fact that they can tell him to put his
Speaker 1: little gummy dick away like that is inappropriate.
Speaker 2: But the wave out to the wave, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Wait didn't you say that when you was running loud
Speaker 1: speakers that somebody brought in some new somebody else? Oh sorry, oh.
Speaker 3: Ship demographic, Oh my god, talk about another another episode.
Speaker 3: But you know when I when I was helping him out,
Speaker 3: bringing him into this podcast space.
Speaker 2: He didn't, he didn't let he didn't.
Speaker 3: Let me know he was going to do this, but
Speaker 3: he had he had some girls there that was a
Speaker 3: particular profession of us and you.
Speaker 2: Know, one might say the oldest profession, very unpredictable person.
Speaker 5: And he had these girls, you know, performing this random dude.
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait wait, I still have I thought they
Speaker 1: were getting naked.
Speaker 3: Wait no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 3: This girl was telling her story why she became a
Speaker 3: sex worker. Okay, she was all alled up. I think
Speaker 3: she was the nicking and Puerto Rican and Italian whatever.
Speaker 3: But some random dude from Connecticut, I believe, and I'm watching, like.
Speaker 2: Who is his name?
Speaker 1: Flip invited him in.
Speaker 3: It was all playing, but he just didn't let me know.
Speaker 3: So then homeboy pulls up and I'm like, what is
Speaker 3: the correlation?
Speaker 2: So anyway they talking?
Speaker 1: Wait, were you the engineer for this?
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 3: I was producing it, but I didn't know he was
Speaker 3: doing all this shit right So then and it's the
Speaker 3: first taping, mind you just for he wasn't he wasn't
Speaker 3: and he wasn't part of Loudspeaker, but he was recording
Speaker 3: where we were recording it right, and the dude comes
Speaker 3: into the room and and then he says, yo, remember
Speaker 3: what we said.
Speaker 2: What I told he was going to do. And then
Speaker 2: it was like what.
Speaker 3: So while she's talking and whatever, this dude sitting next
Speaker 3: to her, and then she's taking pulling you know. Started
Speaker 3: she started trying to get him off. But the problem was,
Speaker 3: I don't know because it was crazy. I'm saying it, yes, there,
Speaker 3: you got there. He wasn't getting Paul, and we got frustrated.
Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out how do I stop me?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: So then what happened when she got so frustrated right,
Speaker 3: and the manager she had a manager, Yo, why the
Speaker 3: manager was like, step aside, I got this.
Speaker 2: She got to business.
Speaker 1: Wait the manager, I got I show you I had
Speaker 1: you have.
Speaker 3: But it's just crazy because it was it was it
Speaker 3: was recording in real time, so it was like what
Speaker 3: so lo and behold that happened. He put the clip
Speaker 3: out as a teaser from but they blurted out and
Speaker 3: then the studio got wind of it and it was like, nah,
Speaker 3: they was like taking money.
Speaker 2: If we know he was going to do that, we
Speaker 2: would have told you off top.
Speaker 3: And it was at the time they had children, used
Speaker 3: to do voiceover work there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like that my brand.
Speaker 3: Remember yeah, this is twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, So mind
Speaker 3: you what I said.
Speaker 2: Before, standard what are the standard? Yeah? Setting.
Speaker 3: So in his point of view is let me do
Speaker 3: enough shock value to get attention to what I'm getting
Speaker 3: ready to jump.
Speaker 2: Into versus safety, versus all the other things.
Speaker 3: But it's like, you didn't need to do that in
Speaker 3: my opinion, Well, like this the remember.
Speaker 2: That the shot Chyenne is the naked one.
Speaker 1: Sod one.
Speaker 2: Life. Yeah. So like if I'm at the jes concert,
Speaker 2: I'm definitely not listening to j Z.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no, by the way, exactly, it's something
Speaker 1: that I want to do. I know he has his
Speaker 1: residency now in Vegas. Everyone that has gone to that
Speaker 1: g Z Orchestra has said it's by far the best seen.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, yeah, I talked to uh oh yeah, but
Speaker 3: she had to tell so you couldn't see her booty.
Speaker 3: That's but you had a show like I don't think
Speaker 3: there's any I don't think that's inappropriate for a show.
Speaker 1: But it's black, that's inappropriate for black tie.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not a black time, Okay, that's not that's
Speaker 3: not that's not a black that's not a black tie.
Speaker 1: But it's definitely a veggas outfit is yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So I'm not I'm not mad at her
Speaker 3: for that, Like I don't see what the problem is.
Speaker 3: Plus like she looked good, she looked great, he was great,
Speaker 3: Like okay, whatever would be would have been flying to me.
Speaker 1: It was just the styling of it.
Speaker 2: I'll say this I had.
Speaker 3: I think I have a bigger issue with like the
Speaker 3: the pastors doing the back and forth from the pool
Speaker 3: pit about this than I do with how either of
Speaker 3: the ladies are me. Is like the problem the defense
Speaker 3: of I get that that Jamal Bryant wants to defend
Speaker 3: his wife, and that's cool, defends your wife, but like
Speaker 3: he was basically like, y'all niggas a broken don't know
Speaker 3: nothing about this.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what you like that.
Speaker 3: You sound crazy as a pastor, like talking like that
Speaker 3: in defense of.
Speaker 1: He said, y'all ain't never been to a gala.
Speaker 2: Y'all don't know how. I'm like, you're just telling people that,
Speaker 2: like that's there, that whole ship is crazy.
Speaker 1: Give me your money every week, but you ain't got
Speaker 1: enough to give to go to it and.
Speaker 3: Then for the other pastor, mind your fucking business, nigga. Yeah,
Speaker 3: why you beefing with me? Like you're talking about podcast
Speaker 3: wars while we're having poolpit war. Why are you talking
Speaker 3: about me and my wife from your pool pit talk
Speaker 3: about God?
Speaker 2: That's what you're here for. Yeah, Like I just slapped
Speaker 2: fire out of you for even doing that.
Speaker 3: And so like I think being a pastor might be
Speaker 3: the cheat code to just get to just that might
Speaker 3: be the new rapper.
Speaker 1: New podcast.
Speaker 3: I mean, but that's also part of the thing. Like
Speaker 3: these niggas wanted to be niggas wanted.
Speaker 2: To be stars.
Speaker 3: Like if you know, if you want to be a pastor, star,
Speaker 3: a pastar, then that makes you right, Like you want
Speaker 3: to be a pastar, eat tartar, that's what you want?
Speaker 2: Like that might make you look away to your congregation.
Speaker 2: Ain't gonna. I don't want to go to no church
Speaker 2: in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I told you I went to one and ended up
Speaker 1: seeing a goddamn Netflix commercial for a Tyler Perry show.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think I'm cool on it too.
Speaker 3: The whole thing is weird. Like, so we went to
Speaker 3: last weekend, we went to a church. I had never
Speaker 3: been to one of these like modern church. Like for me,
Speaker 3: church is is like an old ass church that's built
Speaker 3: in the sixties with a bunch of black people, all
Speaker 3: black ladies with hats. Like that's like going as a
Speaker 3: little kid. That's the church I went to. I don't
Speaker 3: know nothing about these modern church I don't really go
Speaker 3: to church.
Speaker 2: Like.
Speaker 3: So last weekend we went to this church called Passion
Speaker 3: City Church. No you didn't, so, yeah, So because it's
Speaker 3: across the streets from the crib, and my girl was
Speaker 3: just like, Oh, let's just let's go to church. Let's
Speaker 3: see what this thing is about. So we went up
Speaker 3: in there and like it felt like the white version.
Speaker 1: Of Palle of A with a black mega church, Passion City.
Speaker 2: It's production Like they come out singing like Disney.
Speaker 1: Did y'all see did y'all see the viral thing that
Speaker 1: happened over the holidays from the Mega church in Texas
Speaker 1: where they had like like little people flying through the
Speaker 1: sky and.
Speaker 2: Ship like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have pyro and like it looked like Chris Brown,
Speaker 1: but a little person with a little elf thing. Did
Speaker 1: you see it? Jason looking at it?
Speaker 7: Look?
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is like it was realome Cirtain just so
Speaker 3: late at the church. That's what the night at the church?
Speaker 1: Wait, what do you mean fight night? Like what they
Speaker 1: do at the strip club. You're looking at Passion City.
Speaker 1: They got Jesus' life behind a lanmdbow.
Speaker 2: Passion City Church. They got a whole boxing ring and everything.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is insane, y'all. I need y'all to google
Speaker 1: Passion City.
Speaker 2: This looks like how much they charge you get in.
Speaker 3: You didn't know, but but the way the city they
Speaker 3: get So the main church is in Midtown, but they
Speaker 3: have satellites.
Speaker 2: They have a satellite and I.
Speaker 1: Saw that too. There was a there's a megachurch here
Speaker 1: and one of my friends hopped on and was like,
Speaker 1: I was trying to go to church for the New
Speaker 1: Year's Apparently the church said, oh, we off this week,
Speaker 1: but we live streaming to everybody. So he went all
Speaker 1: the way to the church and the church didn't even
Speaker 1: hold hold the service at the church. They said, we
Speaker 1: live streaming of y'all from my living room. And I
Speaker 1: need to break.
Speaker 2: I need to watch it on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I can't even make y'all missed it. Sorry, you should
Speaker 1: have checked your emails.
Speaker 5: I was at this birthday day and there with this
Speaker 5: girl who got shot in the face.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't even make it out, couldn't even make it.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, it looked like money. She looked like money.
Speaker 1: She looked like he looked like he had enough money
Speaker 1: to snort a lot.
Speaker 3: At this church they had I guess last weekend they
Speaker 3: had a thing called, uh.
Speaker 2: They have like a festival basically in Texas. So they
Speaker 2: had a.
Speaker 3: Festival at like I think it was a Cowboys Stadium
Speaker 3: or whatever the place is, and they had like seventy
Speaker 3: thousand people in the stadium and they're having speakers and
Speaker 3: singers and all of this come through and it's like
Speaker 3: it's a real production.
Speaker 2: That was the guy that was speaking, the ball headed guy. Wow,
Speaker 2: that's the guy that was crazy.
Speaker 1: Look at it, No, look at the production.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, friends value production like you walk. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They keeps like I could do the audio mix up
Speaker 1: it look.
Speaker 2: This, Yeah, look like he invested in his steak. Yes, no,
Speaker 2: full bad, like the whole thing. See what we do
Speaker 2: a selective ignorance live show there.
Speaker 1: Never that's the way we talk about churches. It's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: But here's a question I always ask though, like, and
Speaker 3: this isn't necessarily in defense of the mega church, but
Speaker 3: the question I always have is like, Okay, if you
Speaker 3: have a church and you have that many members at
Speaker 3: a regular church that just has you know, a couple
Speaker 3: one thousand people, fifty hundred people that come, the pastor
Speaker 3: is probably gonna have a Cadillac or a nice car
Speaker 3: the passer makes a couple of dollars.
Speaker 2: If you have a church.
Speaker 3: That's that big and that many people are coming to
Speaker 3: your essentially your business to patronize your business, you're probably
Speaker 3: gonna get rich. Yeah, And so like my thing about
Speaker 3: it is like, what is the line? They're not taking
Speaker 3: a vow of poverty. These aren't monks or anything like that.
Speaker 3: So I guess my question is like, when you have
Speaker 3: a church that big, what is the line of how
Speaker 3: much you're supposed to capitalism profit financially from the thing
Speaker 3: if you have, if you if you're essentially have that
Speaker 3: many customers, I don't know what.
Speaker 2: I don't have a good answer for that.
Speaker 1: Telling me that a person who gives gives the word
Speaker 1: also doesn't want to live a certain lifestyle.
Speaker 2: One of these.
Speaker 1: The church I used to go to when I was
Speaker 1: when I was a jit, he pulled up in a
Speaker 1: motherfucker hummer. And this is when one of them things.
Speaker 1: It was like not our pastors pulling up in the hummer.
Speaker 1: It was like the age too. It was like the.
Speaker 3: Fancy when I was a little little kid, when I
Speaker 3: was legit, like our pastor had a bens and it
Speaker 3: was a regular ass, little regular ass black church and saying, look,
Speaker 3: it wasn't even no mega church.
Speaker 2: So my thing about it is what church? What black church?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 2: The pastor broke? What church? Dude, ain't never seen one?
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's a deeper we got. Did you saved?
Speaker 1: Why we don't see black broke past.
Speaker 3: I don't care if it's a med church or your
Speaker 3: regular community church. I ain't never seen no broke pastor?
Speaker 1: Who the democracy? Don't we want generational wealth within our community?
Speaker 1: Don't we want black people to win? Like job.
Speaker 2: On the mic?
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, now, y'all, this was a bonus episode. I
