Speaker 1: So basically, guys, I am on the cover of the.
Speaker 3: Magazine which relaunched Thank You.
Speaker 1: It's a double cover, but they honored me for being
Speaker 1: the trailblazer that I.
Speaker 3: Am in media and it was really dope.
Speaker 2: It was. So it's a double cover feature.
Speaker 1: So they had me from the media side, and then
Speaker 1: they had Oji Parker on the production.
Speaker 3: Yeah for you know Atlanta.
Speaker 2: No Oj Parker job. That's Atlanta culture.
Speaker 7: That is Oh that's.
Speaker 6: But before we go ahead, many on more covers as
Speaker 6: a as.
Speaker 2: A non et alien.

Speaker 6: of time she's been in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Are you ready? They gotta be mad.
Speaker 1: I gotta shoot next week for a third one coming again.
Speaker 2: Success you see that?
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say coming down to Atlanta has
Speaker 1: been great, Like I love it. I love that I
Speaker 1: get so much respect in the streets for what I do,
Speaker 1: especially being in New York for thirteen years. But what
Speaker 1: I also noticed is like these the atl shakers and
Speaker 1: movers don't give New York shakers and movers. Like when
Speaker 1: I was out in I think I mentioned it last week,
Speaker 1: like or I don't know if it was off camera,
Speaker 1: but when I was out in LA for All Star.
Speaker 1: Anytime I do anything right, it could be Essence, it
Speaker 1: could be All Star, it could be south By Southwest,
Speaker 1: it could be dream Bill. Every time I go somewhere,
Speaker 1: it feels like, God damn it, New York followed me
Speaker 1: New York. Everyone from New York is here. I go
Speaker 1: to these events, and the movers are shakers in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: They don't really live. They either don't leave Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Or they don't have they don't have the Jenna Sequah
Speaker 1: to get into the things outside of Atlanta.
Speaker 3: They're like their face cards, ain't they face cards elsewhere?
Speaker 1: So it's been interesting that when I was expecting to
Speaker 1: now see Atlanta everywhere, Atlanta don't leave Atlanta. And I
Speaker 1: really wish that they would realize, like, as a mover
Speaker 1: and shaker, you kind of got to get out of here,
Speaker 1: to meet the people, to get into certain rooms.
Speaker 3: And Atlanta ain't the world.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about Atlantic culture and a little bit before
Speaker 1: we get there, we have to bring up what Atlantic
Speaker 1: culture is to me, and it is the strip club.
Speaker 3: So following my cover release party, the people were hung
Speaker 3: the people listen.
Speaker 4: People were hungry. I was a couple of places, what
Speaker 4: Jason I said, the people are hungry. There's a couple
Speaker 4: of places you can go to late at night.
Speaker 2: Late night places to grab a bike, and.
Speaker 4: Atlanta there's like two places to go. One of them.
Speaker 3: You thought I was feeding niggas eggs and waffles.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 4: That's one place you ain't going.
Speaker 1: I have a bougie palette, even though I did just
Speaker 1: end up getting limon pepper wings. But listen, here we go,
Speaker 1: we get to we get to Cheetah and pretty much
Speaker 1: everybody came, so it was like twelve of us. And
Speaker 1: I look over and I get so excited because I
Speaker 1: look over to my right now. Mind you, A King
Speaker 1: and Joe are sitting at the table, they eating their food,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, y'all, there she goes and it's the
Speaker 1: white lady who moved her kitties.
Speaker 3: So slightly you feel me?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: It's twenty dollars for her little things, but y'all had
Speaker 1: no cash, so I asked my homegirls. I said, bitch,
Speaker 1: I need twenty dollars. I need to do this for
Speaker 1: my niggas. I said, I need them to experience this.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I do know it's like history months and this is
Speaker 1: a white woman, but the talent.
Speaker 2: I don't say, you know, you're right, had he made
Speaker 2: a choice, but the talent.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I call her over to the table, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to say I go, because that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I did ask for y'all. I said, y'all want to
Speaker 1: take shots out these titties. I then also said you
Speaker 1: kind of have to.
Speaker 2: I already paid for them as as a result. Okay,
Speaker 2: but real quick, for somebody.
Speaker 4: Who wasn't there, can you explain which shot the titties?
Speaker 4: Explain that for somebody who wasn't there.
Speaker 2: Okay, assume that no one was there.
Speaker 1: And based on my description from a couple of episodes ago,
Speaker 1: how did how do y'all explain.
Speaker 3: The woman with the titties?
Speaker 6: It was a I I'll let you go first, okay,
Speaker 6: So first thing, I say, is that.
Speaker 2: The way like Manny was super excited. She was super
Speaker 2: super she said, oh yeah you go.
Speaker 3: I'm like me, we're on y'all.
Speaker 6: But in the moment, I'm like and I'm I'm totally
Speaker 6: not even looking that way.
Speaker 2: Right. I saw it, but I didn't see it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it wasn't on my mind.
Speaker 6: Like other tale that was allegedly out there, I'm like,
Speaker 6: oh who she she She did look different.
Speaker 2: Than it used to look. She didn't always have talent,
Speaker 2: but like that lady didn't.
Speaker 6: The first thing that struck me was that that lady
Speaker 6: didn't look as old as I thought that you described
Speaker 6: her ass. Now, granted, what I told a king is
Speaker 6: that like for an older looking white woman, she looked
Speaker 6: she had a didn't have an old ass face.
Speaker 8: But the hands always tell you the truth. Yeah, the
Speaker 8: hands always say you true.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, the hands, and they canna tell you
Speaker 2: exactly what's going on.
Speaker 8: So like when she came over there, as soon as
Speaker 8: she grabbed a little vial, the shot that I looked
Speaker 8: that said, okay, there they go about.
Speaker 2: The year like bathing. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like that lady was probably like she was probably
Speaker 6: early sixty, good energy, good energy, very happy, to do
Speaker 6: her job, extremely happy to do her job, but like
Speaker 6: a king was the most excited, so he went first.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, definitely was not.
Speaker 6: I had the same expression she had when the homeboy
Speaker 6: proposed to her, don't do that around, hey, Jason. I
Speaker 6: was looking around, like who's watching this ship going? I'm
Speaker 6: like okay, And then I'm like all right. The way
Speaker 6: her ship was moving like she had ultra muscles and
Speaker 6: her ship. But then I saw how she didn't really
Speaker 6: have no hotel. I said, all the muscles went straight
Speaker 6: to the skip leg day.
Speaker 2: It was cool.
Speaker 4: Look so so a king as somebody who want first?
Speaker 4: Did you did your mouth go on the titty? Well
Speaker 4: for somebody who wasn't.
Speaker 2: There, I'm a guarf hair and black man.
Speaker 3: Didn't you take it through from between her titties?
Speaker 2: No? I didn't take it. She she had like she
Speaker 2: kind of leaned in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, she had mechanical mechanical doing it, like I didn't
Speaker 6: touch anything, like it was just me.
Speaker 3: She doesn't have a mechanical way of doing it.
Speaker 6: I did pick the I picked You had the different
Speaker 6: You had to elect which shot you wanted. You had
Speaker 6: some say you had to pick with titty you have
Speaker 6: I'm gonna get each but I picked the Don Julio.
Speaker 6: I think it was Don Julio passion fruit shot. Let
Speaker 6: me get that, and it was cool.
Speaker 1: Don't make it any better that you drank out of
Speaker 1: white titties this month.
Speaker 6: Say what makes it even worse. I didn't realize after
Speaker 6: the fact the shot that I took. They both had
Speaker 6: like little spears and little candies on them, and I
Speaker 6: took the shot, and then I realized after the fact
Speaker 6: that I took the shot they had the watermelon candy,
Speaker 6: and I was like, this had that ship like I'm
Speaker 6: taking I'm eating watermelon out of white titties on Like,
Speaker 6: if you want to double down, that's fucked up.
Speaker 2: She got to be like black men.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: That's a happy black history for somebody had a gang
Speaker 4: man and I'm yelling at gay gang.
Speaker 3: Know it was a good time.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that. By the way, when me a King
Speaker 1: and John go out together, we have time. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: were buying bottles and got l we got wasted.
Speaker 3: Kissen, you actually need to bring your ass down.
Speaker 6: To talk about the entire experience. So Jason, come down.
Speaker 6: How you ended up being dad Jason experienced in Atlantic culture.
Speaker 1: Well this I want to get into that. Oh do
Speaker 1: you want to get into that? So basically I would.
Speaker 1: We had two tables, we had twelve people, and so
Speaker 1: I'm over there eating my lemon pepper wings and and
Speaker 1: next thing I know, I look.
Speaker 3: Up and baby Shot and my other homeboy are like.
Speaker 2: What I say?
Speaker 3: And it's sorry. That was just quiet and this is
Speaker 3: an audio experience.
Speaker 1: They had their hands and hands and when I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, it's like they into an intense
Speaker 1: conversation over there. Let me go over there and make
Speaker 1: sure everything okay. And when I got over there, trying
Speaker 1: to hear that ship Niggas was in a debate as
Speaker 1: to whether Atlanta has culture. Mind you, the debate is
Speaker 1: coming from someone who is from New Orleans.
Speaker 6: Correct, That's actually how it started, yes, because I don't
Speaker 6: remember what the thing was said, but I was like,
Speaker 6: I was like, I love New Orleans. I just hate
Speaker 6: the Saints, like we don't, we don't, we don't we
Speaker 6: like we hate them.
Speaker 2: That's what we do.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's what we do. And he was like,
Speaker 6: as soon as he said he was from New Orleans,
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, all right, well okay, and we
Speaker 6: started little back and forth about the Saints and the Falcons.
Speaker 6: But then he was like, Atlanta doesn't have any culture.
Speaker 6: And I was like, Atlanta doesn't have any culture.
Speaker 2: I'm like the place where Martin Luther King was born,
Speaker 2: I don't have no culture.
Speaker 1: Like keep going, we had outcasts and culture.
Speaker 4: You currently distribute the majority of the culture across the
Speaker 4: Black America.
Speaker 6: We've been giving out the cultures twenty years, like what.
Speaker 2: So then I said that was one thing.
Speaker 6: The thing that that really locked me in was he
Speaker 6: was like, I said something about t I and he
Speaker 6: was like, oh, that's not real music.
Speaker 8: Though yeah, he said, that's not real music. Though yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 6: I like, he's all right, but that's not like one
Speaker 6: of the great rappers of all times.
Speaker 3: Wait, did y'all get into them, because if Orleans he's master.
Speaker 2: P, he's way. But they didn't go in that. That
Speaker 2: wasn't even it was.
Speaker 6: It was just they just pull a dick out at
Speaker 6: the same time, basically big calls. But at that point,
Speaker 6: because first of all, Joe's eating steak, so I'm watching
Speaker 6: him like, damn, you gotta enjoy the steak though, Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: this nigga.
Speaker 2: He's in there taking his little bites here and there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I also.
Speaker 3: Loved that you were considerate and got the.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, and as a
Speaker 6: sirlo on that.
Speaker 2: And we'll get to that. Are we gonna? I think
Speaker 2: we should quickly?
Speaker 3: Okay, only because I did.
Speaker 2: Talk to Ish and he.
Speaker 3: So real quick, y'all. I am announcing here that when
Speaker 3: I go out.
Speaker 1: Moving forward, yep, splitting the belt, everyone is taking their
Speaker 1: own belt. So I agree, because everyone came to celebrate me, right,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, let's go to Cheetah. It's a five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars minimum for the table. I've gone twice with
Speaker 1: that five hundred dollar minimum and don't make it. So
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, like everyone eat, you know, everyone get food,
Speaker 1: and everyone get a drink. Two of the people weren't
Speaker 1: even drinking, so I was like, okay, nigga, the bill
Speaker 1: come out, it's twelve hundred dollars.
Speaker 8: Who I said, what the fuck?
Speaker 2: Mind you?
Speaker 1: Mostly everybody is my friend, you have your partner and
Speaker 1: another one of my homeboys brought one of one of
Speaker 1: his partners. Because it's just a bit cheap fucksuoah somebody,
Speaker 1: he knows somebody, and the twelve people that was at
Speaker 1: the two tables was sanctioned.
Speaker 2: It was that one first, right, there was an interloper.
Speaker 1: The interloper, I said, let me see the receipt. Ooh,
Speaker 1: the interloper.
Speaker 3: Two hundred and fifty dollars worth of food.
Speaker 1: She ordered it almost it almost made me feel bad
Speaker 1: for niggas for this long. And when I say niggas,
Speaker 1: I mean black men specifically. They get taken advantage of
Speaker 1: when they go out on dates with women who probably.
Speaker 2: Don't have groceries in the refrigerator. I did so.
Speaker 1: She ordered a seventy dollars steak, thirteen dollars fries, a
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars salad, and you're ready.
Speaker 2: You want to know the.
Speaker 1: Cherry on top two double reposodal lemon drops that were
Speaker 1: forty dollars apiece thirty eight.
Speaker 3: There were I guess nineteen times. Bro no home.
Speaker 2: There is another element.
Speaker 6: She never said nothing to Mandy or anybody whole night.
Speaker 1: And then I found out she had an attitude with
Speaker 1: my best friend to even pass her menu. Didn't speak
Speaker 1: to me the whole night. Didn't mind you by the
Speaker 1: time she got done eating, she left the table. I
Speaker 1: think to try to find another nigga in the strip club.
Speaker 3: Because she was gone from that table.
Speaker 1: Mind you hold on you ready, And the King brought
Speaker 1: it to my attention later, bitch, there was the only
Speaker 1: people with doggy bags.
Speaker 2: I didn't know she had.
Speaker 6: That's crazy, when I tell you, I was so.
Speaker 1: I was a little upset by this, but then I
Speaker 1: talked to about it, and then it made me just
Speaker 1: feel like, and I'm sorry, my homeboy ain't a real nigga.
Speaker 1: And that's all that is because my homeboy should have
Speaker 1: been like, here, here goes some money. But also just
Speaker 1: let me know, hey, she's on a date with your homeboy.
Speaker 1: That's he's probably acted as if his nigga was gonna
Speaker 1: cover it anybody. So where I felt away like, bitch,
Speaker 1: how dare you? I also realized I was just getting
Speaker 1: the experience of of a woman who feels entitled when
Speaker 1: she's out with a man.
Speaker 3: And because it was on my bill, he should have
Speaker 3: picked up.
Speaker 2: To get here. All so now we go out.
Speaker 6: Well, Also, don't don't if you many you are so generous,
Speaker 6: not anymore. I'm walking around with a takeup shaking it
Speaker 6: it's hard to read the room when you're when you're
Speaker 6: having a good time, You're like, yo, were going over here.
Speaker 2: I got this, but everybody's hearing I got this.
Speaker 3: But it meant a lot to me too. Like it's
Speaker 3: a Thursday night.
Speaker 1: Everyone that I invited, you weren't in town or bitch,
Speaker 1: I would have expected you to be there. I'm talking
Speaker 1: to y me, but literally everyone that I invited did
Speaker 1: show up. So a part of me was.
Speaker 3: Like, be here for only a year.
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, I really got community to hear
Speaker 1: that supports me, that shows up, and I didn't know
Speaker 1: that I would have that so soon here in Atlanta,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I have my friends here, but like to
Speaker 1: support me on some industry shit.
Speaker 3: That meant a lot.
Speaker 6: Well, that's part of the Atlantic culture's showing people they
Speaker 6: eat you out of house too.
Speaker 1: Well yeah overall, Oh yeah, it was it was great.
Speaker 1: I am glad that y'all were able to brothers.
Speaker 2: To have Yeah. No, we shook hands afterwards. Everything was cool.
Speaker 2: It wasn't gonna get the handshake too.
Speaker 6: I'm like, but jobs, Like, what's his argument against Atlanta?
Speaker 6: So his thing was basically he was like, oh, I'm
Speaker 6: in Louisiana, and I'm my great great great grandmother can
Speaker 6: tell me where we're from and.
Speaker 2: The things we do loopy woop the whoop.
Speaker 6: And I'm telling him, like, my first thing before we
Speaker 6: even got into like arts and music and all that shit,
Speaker 6: was like, Bro, you know that Atlanta burned to the
Speaker 6: ground in the Civil War?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 6: You know we had to build this bitch back up
Speaker 6: from scratch in the eighteen sixties.
Speaker 3: Do you know about lake?
Speaker 2: Do you know what happened in a lot of these places?
Speaker 6: They tore down all of this shit and within one
Speaker 6: hundred years it was back to being a thriving city
Speaker 6: that hosted the Olympics. The nigga tried to tell me
Speaker 6: the Olympics was in ninety two. I said, no, Nigga
Speaker 6: was in ninety six. No, no, no, I think it
Speaker 6: was in ninety two. I said, Bro, how long have
Speaker 6: you been here?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 6: Like like he went to school here, right, yeah, it
Speaker 6: was a more house. I'm like, all right, what I'm
Speaker 6: not gonna lie. Maybe that's not long enough for you
Speaker 6: to understand the history of the place you at because like, oh,
Speaker 6: there was nothing there before the Olympics. Pike Lee made
Speaker 6: school days in nineteen eighty eight about more House and
Speaker 6: a fictitious more House.
Speaker 1: That's what I was like, More House, More House, like
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna hold you, baby, I would.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say it.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I would never date a more House man.
Speaker 9: Scared.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, those are different type of.
Speaker 2: No. No, no, no, no no. It's almost created like what
Speaker 2: was the name was?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you know you have Hoteps, you have FBA's,
Speaker 1: you have Israelites.
Speaker 3: Then you have more house men.
Speaker 4: Keep going, this is this is gonna be a clich
Speaker 4: so tell me what.
Speaker 2: You mean.
Speaker 1: I just think that Morehouse does some sort of brainwashing.
Speaker 3: So I don't know what type of classes are there.
Speaker 1: I think there's an under there's a tunnel underground where
Speaker 1: they walk in with a whole bunch of black hoods
Speaker 1: and they become a part of a brotherhood that literally
Speaker 1: turns them into different types of people.
Speaker 2: More housemen. I was my.
Speaker 1: First boyfriend was a Morehouse man, and they just operate
Speaker 1: a little differently.
Speaker 2: Was he was he Greek to Yeah.
Speaker 3: He was a Kappa.
Speaker 2: That's when I have a whole other thing.
Speaker 6: I know, I know a lot of her friends of Kafas.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I.
Speaker 4: Don't know what.
Speaker 2: I really don't know what that means. If you had
Speaker 2: to go to TCU or would you who would you
Speaker 2: go to? What's cool man? Oh?
Speaker 3: I did? I?
Speaker 2: Did you want to go to FAM? Honestly don't know.
Speaker 1: I would want to go to Howard. He's like one
Speaker 1: of my favorite things. And then you you for sure
Speaker 1: to meet a man that's gonna even make money after that,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like Howard, you know, Birth's the most men.
Speaker 1: Maybe they got the monies, but yeah, no more housemen.
Speaker 3: I I genuinely believe, like.
Speaker 1: I said, like you have the Israelites that say you
Speaker 1: got the Niggas with Koopie and then you got the more.
Speaker 4: House So for the people, for the people who are
Speaker 4: listening though, yeah, we're doing a spectrum. Who's in the middle,
Speaker 4: who's to the left of the right of those three groups?
Speaker 1: He said, Okay, so you have hold on. Let's let
Speaker 1: me let me listen out the groups.
Speaker 2: Right. You have the hotels, Black history is something else.
Speaker 3: Okay, you have the hoteps.
Speaker 2: You have.
Speaker 3: I have to I have to throw in here. The
Speaker 3: Harlem Muslims, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I gotta throw them in there. That was they.
Speaker 3: You have the FBAs then you have housemen.
Speaker 4: How I don't know what the more housemen did to be.
Speaker 1: It's not scared to me though, I mean you could
Speaker 1: also maybe add the flat earthers on that list, like
Speaker 1: that's where more House like more housemen aligned to where
Speaker 1: the education is top tier for sure. They just think
Speaker 1: so differently of themselves and of each other, and they
Speaker 1: separate themselves from the rest of black men.
Speaker 3: Often like they are more housemen.
Speaker 2: They're not Black men brotherhood, they're not.
Speaker 3: They're not even they're not African Americans. They lose their
Speaker 3: whole identity because they.
Speaker 6: Become the outside looking at it was like a different
Speaker 6: type of brotherhood amongst.
Speaker 2: Because a male school.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's all male schools, so I think that they
Speaker 6: get to.
Speaker 3: Dip and dabble with Spelman. But yeah, they just they different.
Speaker 6: But I think going to Morehouse has a certain like
Speaker 6: I asked it was it was old boy Greek. But
Speaker 6: it's like I feel like if you go to more House,
Speaker 6: that is its own thing before you even played something else.
Speaker 2: It's like I went to Morehouse, that just means something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's almost similar. When you start your you're a
Speaker 4: man of Morehouse, and when you graduate, you become a
Speaker 4: more house man.
Speaker 3: But not only It's like.
Speaker 1: Living in Atlanta now, it's like you're out, you're at
Speaker 1: a bar, you get a drink, you get introduced.
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm Mandy. Hi, I'm Brandon. I'm a morehouse man.
Speaker 1: It's like immediately, like god damn, thanks for introducing you.
Speaker 3: It's their identity.
Speaker 2: They want you to know.
Speaker 4: Before we go on the opinions expressed on this podcast.

Speaker 2: the pie with her.
Speaker 6: So now he want to make sure he knows who's
Speaker 6: what's going on when everybody warning that we that we
Speaker 6: that we made because.
Speaker 4: They got culture. But Atlanta definitely has culture.
Speaker 3: No, Atlanta has culture.
Speaker 6: I mean there's certain places that you know, just established.
Speaker 6: There's not even nothing to I was waiting for you
Speaker 6: to be like, Nigga, why you here, Nigga? No, No,
Speaker 6: there is supporting all of that was in Atlanta period.
Speaker 2: Why did you what? What was it? What was it about?
Speaker 2: You want to come? There must have been there. It
Speaker 2: must have been something he wanted to get a taste of.
Speaker 4: You came some culture.
Speaker 3: Let's get into our double down er.
Speaker 2: Take it back.
Speaker 3: Last week.
Speaker 1: We did have some thoughts, which, by the way, guys,
Speaker 1: the video had just dropped, so context we didn't have anything.
Speaker 1: Now we did clip it up, Jason, if you could
Speaker 1: play the clip to remind people of our take on
Speaker 1: the viral m J video from.
Speaker 3: It was the Toona five hundred right or something?
Speaker 2: It was a race. It was it was a race.
Speaker 3: Sorry, this is not a sports podcast.
Speaker 2: This is not a sports podcast. But I don't think
Speaker 2: this is gonna last that long. Why shouldn't.
Speaker 6: But it's like because The question is is does the
Speaker 6: mainstream media sports are otherwise?
Speaker 2: Do they have it to go after Michael Joe Hard And.
Speaker 4: I don't think they do if he was an owner,
Speaker 4: still maybe maybe everything.
Speaker 1: On top of that in no decade was that an
Speaker 1: appropriate interaction between a grown up whatever.
Speaker 2: Everybody coming for us too? You know why we're gonna
Speaker 2: still buy them Jordan's when they dropped.
Speaker 3: It depends the color.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm looking at everybody feats.
Speaker 4: Here right now, over there, I definitely got Jays.
Speaker 2: Make sure they clean? Are they still clean?
Speaker 4: You know, it's crazy. I got Jordan's slippers on right now,
Speaker 4: so that's even wild.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: And by the way, me and a king are wearing
Speaker 3: Jays today. I got my Travis Scott song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I should have trolled the whole end. I don't
Speaker 2: know why I didn't think about that. Now crazy.
Speaker 1: Since then, the update was and the heavy sentiments were,
Speaker 1: how dare we go immediately to thinking that this, this man,
Speaker 1: this black esteemed man with all these cameras around him,
Speaker 1: would do some pedophilia type of shit?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Where are our minds that we thought that?
Speaker 1: They also came out and said that allegedly he was
Speaker 1: dumped with ice cubes down his back, and so the
Speaker 1: little boy and so MJ was shaking.
Speaker 3: Out the ice cubes.
Speaker 1: Now, you know how people live in different worlds, Apparently
Speaker 1: we also have different eyes and different you know, what
Speaker 1: was the thing that we borrowed?
Speaker 3: Is it a gold dress or a blue dress?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Where the fuck was the ice cubes? Because people said
Speaker 1: they saw ice cubes fall out.
Speaker 4: Of that little bit. I kind of do see. It
Speaker 4: looks like it looks like it there's a wet patch
Speaker 4: and it looks like there's a bundle, So I can
Speaker 4: believe it at the end when he starts pinching towards
Speaker 4: his leg, a yo, but it does look I think
Speaker 4: I think I might be an ice cube truther. I
Speaker 4: think I do see.
Speaker 3: You're an ice cube truther.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I need, I need, I need a ten foil beanie.
Speaker 4: I think I think I see what I see. I
Speaker 4: think I see an ice cube packed there.
Speaker 6: So why wasn't it presented to us in the initial
Speaker 6: video that that's what it was?
Speaker 2: Because apparently it's just a who's gonna seeah exactly is
Speaker 2: what they're saying.
Speaker 1: Like we wanted to look at it as this powerful
Speaker 1: man because of what we're seeing with Epstein files and
Speaker 1: everything else, that he liked Little.
Speaker 4: Bull in February after Michael Jordan's one of the greatest
Speaker 4: black at least we've ever seen and had. And in February,
Speaker 4: y'all want to go after him because y'all can't see
Speaker 4: the ice. Yeah I can't.
Speaker 2: Well, here's my thing about it.
Speaker 6: I don't even really give a fuck about the ice,
Speaker 6: like ice or no ice. To me, that ship just
Speaker 6: looks weird. You're not going to convince me that it
Speaker 6: doesn't look weird. Like I was saying Michael Jordan could
Speaker 6: go to prison. I wasn't saying Michael Jordan's should go
Speaker 6: to hell. I'm saying that ship look crazy, like you're
Speaker 6: grabbing at a young boy's bumper multiple times aggressively and
Speaker 6: then rubbing his leg Like. That ship just looked weird, dog,
Speaker 6: And it doesn't matter what your intent was, it looked crazy.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't do that ship a parent from the time.
Speaker 6: If it's icing his shirt shake shak.
Speaker 3: You should it was a T shirt.
Speaker 6: Still, yeah, still grab your I don't have to reach
Speaker 6: at your fucking ass like this.
Speaker 2: Here's my thing.
Speaker 1: If Jordans had a relationship with the parents. I'm just
Speaker 1: mad that no one came.
Speaker 4: Forward to defend.
Speaker 1: Him and say it wasn't that my son is okay,
Speaker 1: my son doesn't feel violated that he's been around or
Speaker 1: like to me, there was just no defense to the
Speaker 1: actions what the video was, and so that's where to me,
Speaker 1: I still don't know what.
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened. I ain't he no ice cube.
Speaker 2: So guess what that means that we're still going away
Speaker 2: at Jordan's.
Speaker 1: Oh, I said, it depends on the colorway. Look, I
Speaker 1: got mine own today.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I got mine on today.
Speaker 1: Speaking of sports though. Oh by the way, so what
Speaker 1: are we doing? Are we double down or taking it back?
Speaker 1: I think it's fifty.
Speaker 2: Fifty Yeah, I think I think.
Speaker 3: It's an asterisk. We'll come back to.
Speaker 4: You raised a good point. We have to know who
Speaker 4: the kid is, if that's like his man's son, and
Speaker 4: I feel like it changes things.
Speaker 2: Well, I think I know a guy. I thought, Look,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find it right now.
Speaker 6: I thought there was a guy that came out and says,
Speaker 6: I don't know if he was the kid's father, the
Speaker 6: friend or friend of the father.
Speaker 2: I was trying to say that what the guy was saying.
Speaker 2: But someone did come out and defend him because I
Speaker 2: didn't see.
Speaker 4: Does that mean he's an asshole? Nobody defends him, That's
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I mean, right, because he's the owner of the of
Speaker 3: the team that won.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's into that ship to the race.
Speaker 3: Look y'all said, who gives a funck?
Speaker 4: Who gives a ship?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of sports, because of course this is not
Speaker 1: a sports podcast, but the WNBA season may be canceled,
Speaker 1: So the twenty twenty six sub NBA season faces potential
Speaker 1: disruption or delay due to intense ongoing labor negotiations. We
Speaker 1: kind of spoke about that a bit at the top
Speaker 1: of this podcast. Based on how the WNBA has been
Speaker 1: performing or outperforming the previous seasons.
Speaker 3: There's a lot more money coming in, there's a lot more.
Speaker 1: Visibility on the league, and basically the tensions remain high
Speaker 1: as players seek better compensation and benefits, while the league
Speaker 1: has raised concerns about the financial implications of the proposals. Now,
Speaker 1: the negotiation deadline is approachent approaching, and NBA Commissioner Adam
Speaker 1: Silver has not yet set a formal deadline, but urged
Speaker 1: urgency now. Currently the status is a workstoppage is possible
Speaker 1: because both sides are still negotiating to finalize a deal
Speaker 1: as a bid February.
Speaker 3: As of two day, the season does.
Speaker 1: Remain scheduled to begin in May, but it's changing rapidly
Speaker 1: because a lot of the players are seemingly looking to
Speaker 1: boycott and to not play until these contracts are negotiated.
Speaker 1: Now not to spend too much time here, because this
Speaker 1: will be an ongoing thing over the next couple over
Speaker 1: the next couple months that we can lean into. I
Speaker 1: do think it's interesting to me from a business perspective
Speaker 1: that league has been in the red for a long time.
Speaker 1: We are just getting to a place where it's getting
Speaker 1: just as much recognition, not just as much.
Speaker 4: It's getting a lot.
Speaker 8: They've had exponential growth from twenty twenty four to right now, and.
Speaker 1: So to me, I think where yes, I think people
Speaker 1: should be paid living wages or what they're owed. Y'all
Speaker 1: also know, I don't think that at any point employees
Speaker 1: could go to a company and be like, Ooh, so
Speaker 1: y'all made more money, or y'all, y'all are trading at
Speaker 1: a higher cost give me a raise. I think that
Speaker 1: there's just still so much of the bottom line that
Speaker 1: it has to get to a place before you see that.
Speaker 3: Like, it was interesting to.
Speaker 1: Me because Jason David arn was the commissioner going back
Speaker 1: to my era, knowing the money that Tracy McGrady and
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson, Steve Kurk, like, knowing what like players made
Speaker 1: in even the early two thousands compared to now astronomically different.
Speaker 1: Those guys were making twenty million, forty million dollar contracts.
Speaker 3: The guys now have three hundred.
Speaker 10: Million dollar contract What can I do my journalism, Jason
Speaker 10: thing now go ahead. Ye, So there's a couple of
Speaker 10: things that I want to say for the context of this, right,
Speaker 10: Like the so the WNBA is owned by the NBA,
Speaker 10: So the NBA runs it as a business. So when
Speaker 10: we say it's not profitable, it's not because of the WNBA,
Speaker 10: it's because of the NBA.
Speaker 4: Right and so right now, the argument that most most
Speaker 4: people will see online, yes, is that the NBA makes
Speaker 4: more money, so that the players should get paid more money.
Speaker 4: The women are not saying that the the NBA and
Speaker 4: the players split the profits. The revenues fifty nine percent
Speaker 4: so the players get forty nine percent of the revenue
Speaker 4: and the WNBA the players get nine percent of the revenue.
Speaker 4: They not they're proposing right now currently they get nine percent, and.
Speaker 3: They're proposing the twenty seven percent.
Speaker 4: Composing twenty percent the.
Speaker 2: League is what the league was willing to go up
Speaker 2: to fifteen, I think, right.
Speaker 4: And so there's so there's barely there's barely players that
Speaker 4: make a million dollars, Like there's not even start. There's
Speaker 4: like two star players that may be making million dollars. Right,
Speaker 4: So that's why that's why they end up playing they
Speaker 4: have to go overseas. Yeah, so that's why they go overseas, right,
Speaker 4: And so you know, and then this idea of like
Speaker 4: profitability that the NBA wasn't profitable for its first twenty
Speaker 4: years either, right, and so and right now the WNBA
Speaker 4: is in a growth period, and so with the growth period,
Speaker 4: you're trying to project revenues. They have a new TV
Speaker 4: deal that's about the kick and place and so the
Speaker 4: women who are the assets of the league, right, it's
Speaker 4: not that they're just like general employees. It's not like
Speaker 4: they're engineers at at Apple, and you know, they want
Speaker 4: more money because they're selling more iPhones. The women players
Speaker 4: are the iPhones, right, and so you know that's why
Speaker 4: they're making their argument about like nine percent is just
Speaker 4: too low.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: They're not proposing forty nine percent because they're not trying
Speaker 4: to put the league out of business, but but they
Speaker 4: want a bigger piece of the buye because it's about
Speaker 4: to expand.
Speaker 8: And without going like to too deep in the weeds,
Speaker 8: part of what's going on too is that the women
Speaker 8: are asking for a bigger percent of the revenue as
Speaker 8: opposed to profits. Okay, yeah, like if there were if
Speaker 8: like you said, WNBA is in the red.
Speaker 2: They've been in the red for a long time. So
Speaker 2: profits aren't going up.
Speaker 6: Revenue is going up, right, But a lot of the
Speaker 6: operating costs and a lot of the debt that the
Speaker 6: league is in is because the NBA and those owners
Speaker 6: and those teams are funding the w NBA. So they
Speaker 6: essentially they're getting it looks like also that they're getting
Speaker 6: the owners of the NBA teams are getting paid back
Speaker 6: at the expense.
Speaker 2: Of the players the player correct.
Speaker 6: And so is like instead of us getting paid from
Speaker 6: the revenue, you're in this debt and you're paying them
Speaker 6: back before before you.
Speaker 4: Pay us and makes it like privately pirates.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: It's curious to see what happens. And I'm sure we
Speaker 1: will keep up with all the things.
Speaker 4: And Mandy, I'll say this one thing to I think
Speaker 4: the rapid two. You know, like when you're in corporate,
Speaker 4: you know, when you work at a job and you're
Speaker 4: trying to get your salary and they say, well, we'll
Speaker 4: discuss it in six months.
Speaker 2: Right, that's where we're at.
Speaker 4: That never happens, right, Like you'll say like, oh, you know,
Speaker 4: I want one hundred thousand not eighty thousand. Oh well,
Speaker 4: you know, we can't really do it, but let's just
Speaker 4: get you in here and we'll talk about it in
Speaker 4: six months. And I'm sure every listener hearing this they've
Speaker 4: been in that escially.
Speaker 11: So.
Speaker 4: But nobody wants to do that because you never have
Speaker 4: that conversation in six months. And essentially that's what the
Speaker 4: that's what the w NBA is telling the players, like, well,
Speaker 4: let's let's just get this at fifteen and the TV
Speaker 4: money will come in and then and then we'll talk
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 2: Came down the road and hope that it works out.
Speaker 2: It's like as a player.
Speaker 6: You ain't trying to You ain't caring about what these
Speaker 6: niggas may or may not be waiting.
Speaker 2: You just want your money.
Speaker 6: And that's part and that's part of their arguments in debt,
Speaker 6: for it has nothing to do with us.
Speaker 2: That's y'all's debt. Y'all figure that out. Facts.
Speaker 3: Wait, y'all, don't y'all don't be having that mentality with me.
Speaker 4: We're about to start separate group chat.
Speaker 2: I'm listening to you. I hear you playing. You need
Speaker 2: to have a conversation.
Speaker 1: All right, y'alllet's get into this is America. Don't got
Speaker 1: your slipping off, all right, Jesus. So we'll start with,
Speaker 1: of course, condolences and I'll don't feel bad because I
Speaker 1: was less than after him just last year.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, him all euphoria, So y'all.
Speaker 1: Eric Dane, an actor who was on Charmed, who was
Speaker 1: on Euphoria, who is mcsweetey.
Speaker 3: From recently.
Speaker 1: Recently lost his battle to als r ip rip and
Speaker 1: a lot of information has been coming out about this.
Speaker 1: He he succumbed to this rapidly. He found out his
Speaker 1: diagnosis two years ago, announced to everyone that he was
Speaker 1: battling it in about ten months ago, and since announcing it,
Speaker 1: he just left us. Now what's interesting is what is
Speaker 1: going on on the internet. Is interesting because his family
Speaker 1: recently set up a go Fundme. Now, the go fundme
Speaker 1: is essentially to help his daughters, and now they are
Speaker 1: seeking five hundred thousand dollars and as of right now,
Speaker 1: they currently have about three hundred and sixty six thousand
Speaker 1: dollars raised. Now this is let me see where it's going.
Speaker 1: Any contribution, no matter the size, will help provide stability
Speaker 1: during this incredibly difficult time and in future for Eric's
Speaker 1: wonderful daughters.
Speaker 3: Now that's what the GoFundMe is for.
Speaker 1: One of the interesting things, however, that I've been seeing
Speaker 1: is how everyone is like WHOA. He's had an acting
Speaker 1: career for over twenty years. He's had to have money.
Speaker 1: Why are his daughters not set up? What did he
Speaker 1: do with his money? Interestingly enough, I also saw an
Speaker 1: article where Johnny Depp actually allowed Eric to stay in
Speaker 1: his home rent free in order to assist him with
Speaker 1: his healthcare bill coverage. So whatever money he made, I
Speaker 1: don't know if y'all have seen even the cost.
Speaker 3: Of an ambulance ride.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: So two years ago, I thought I was gonna die, y'all.
Speaker 1: I woke up in the middle of the sleep, in
Speaker 1: my sleep and here I go, like a little bitch.
Speaker 1: I called my mama, said, I'm so cold. Oh I'm
Speaker 1: goodness I had I was experiencing kinney failure. I had
Speaker 1: a kiney infection, and I didn't know how important it
Speaker 1: goddamn kidney was, so I didn't I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I didn't know it was that important. So literally, mind you,
Speaker 3: it's it's May, it's summertime. Okay, I'm freezing. Hold on
Speaker 3: in jackets.
Speaker 1: I got a robe and I'm shivering like like bitch,
Speaker 1: like I am Jack from the Titanic.
Speaker 2: I'll never let you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like, so I'm freezing. I called my mom and I'm like,
Speaker 1: something's not right. I think I'm about to die. So
Speaker 1: she's like, okay, okay, like call nine one one and
Speaker 1: you don't even understand.
Speaker 3: Amidst shaking at three o'clock in the morning, I was like, nah, bro,
Speaker 3: I canna call it huber.
Speaker 1: Because because that just ambulance bill alone can be anywhere.
Speaker 3: From it starts at five hundred.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but can go all the way up to twenty
Speaker 1: five hundred three thousand dollars depending on what tests they're
Speaker 1: running in the back of that goddamn ambulance.
Speaker 3: And so immediately I'm just like, no, I'm going to
Speaker 3: take an uber.
Speaker 1: And so knowing that, knowing also just the cause I
Speaker 1: have a recent friend that went through IVF.
Speaker 3: I have another friend who beat breast cancer.
Speaker 1: But those bills that were coming in, and mind you,
Speaker 1: she had to go and get the Armstrong found like
Speaker 1: she had to go and seek.
Speaker 2: Out a completely.
Speaker 1: Different insurance because her insurance wasn't covering chemo. So she
Speaker 1: had to go and get like an organization to help
Speaker 1: her with those bills. And so when I sit here
Speaker 1: and I see the internet completely like oblivious to what
Speaker 1: type of healthcare system we have in the United States,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, bitch, have y'all never been sick? Have
Speaker 1: y'all never got a healthcare bill in the mill we
Speaker 1: were even just talking beforehand.
Speaker 3: Fuck healthcare.
Speaker 1: There's normally something different for vision, for dental, and when
Speaker 1: you have something like a disease, I need y'all to
Speaker 1: read your health care coverage. When you can diagnose with
Speaker 1: certain daily diseases. Your insurances may not cover the treatment
Speaker 1: for those things, and then a copey. But that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, mind you, when you have health care insurance,
Speaker 1: Oh baby, that doesn't mean you get to go to
Speaker 1: the doctor every time you have.
Speaker 2: Copy Yeah, it's a process, and so.
Speaker 1: It's just it's it was alarming to me seeing how
Speaker 1: many people were tweeting their kind of disdain for these
Speaker 1: gofundmeis mind you. At the same time, miss Jay from
Speaker 1: America's Next Top Model who experienced a stroke in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two and went through a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: was pretty much out of commission for a year, couldn't talk,
Speaker 1: couldn't talk, and it's still overcome.
Speaker 2: Still can't walk, still can't walk.
Speaker 1: They recently set up a go fund me and the
Speaker 1: Internet is like, oh, you nasty. You waited until after
Speaker 1: the documentary came out to start to gofund me.
Speaker 4: And I'm just like he's supposed to do.
Speaker 1: At humanity to just want people to be able to
Speaker 1: not be in debt for what the government has set
Speaker 1: up in this country.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And in Eric Dames case, like he had a career
Speaker 6: that he played a lot of roles and he's a
Speaker 6: prominent actor, but like he wasn't. He wasn't the A
Speaker 6: list actor starring in one hundred million dollars films, Like
Speaker 6: he was a working actor, and like you live in
Speaker 6: LA they're already chopping at that test record.
Speaker 2: You're already getting.
Speaker 6: Shot probably fifty five percent, fifty two percent as soon
Speaker 6: as you get your check, before you pay a lawyer
Speaker 6: and agent whatever.
Speaker 2: Are you ready.
Speaker 1: That's I think the problem because there's this attachment of
Speaker 1: celebrity because these people are maybe making above poverty because
Speaker 1: they're making hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions.
Speaker 3: When it comes to Middle.
Speaker 1: America or you know, the average working Americans, they feel like,
Speaker 1: if I'm figuring life out, if you couldn't figure out
Speaker 1: with that much money, that's your fault. Without thinking of
Speaker 1: the fact that their expenses are higher, they're paying out teams,
Speaker 1: they're paying out like we saw even what's happening with Guerrilla,
Speaker 1: Like her family was expecting her to completely just take
Speaker 1: care of them as grown ass, working adult.
Speaker 4: And so I imagine he probably just had union insurance
Speaker 4: like he probably had like yeah, and probably didn't buy
Speaker 4: anything additional. And so you know, when the idea of
Speaker 4: like pre existing conditions. You know, he probably didn't meet
Speaker 4: that threshold and that's why I kind of got out
Speaker 4: of pocket. And like to your point, Mandy, it's proportional.
Speaker 4: People who are saying they're figuring it out. They're figuring
Speaker 4: it out, but they're still their head is just above water.
Speaker 4: He's probably the same way with his expenses.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's what you just said is
Speaker 1: exactly right. Like it's proportional. So the way that you
Speaker 1: live your expenses, as you make more money, you spend
Speaker 1: more money, it.
Speaker 3: Just is what it is. And a lot of it
Speaker 3: is proportional.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just how what is your life?
Speaker 8: And that doesn't mean that he was out buying by
Speaker 8: Bentley Beamers and Benzes every week. The man's just living
Speaker 8: his life. He has a family to support. They do
Speaker 8: whatever they do, they live however they live by the way.
Speaker 3: You ready, this economy is affecting everyone, y'all.
Speaker 1: Remember how rents used to be six hundred dollars and
Speaker 1: now they two thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: The same for these homes that these that these celebrities
Speaker 3: are renting.
Speaker 1: Essentially they went from maybe being five thousand dollars to
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand dollars more like the economy is affecting everybody
Speaker 1: and how things are.
Speaker 2: Spent, so and not for nothing.
Speaker 6: They're not even asking for some obscene amount of money.
Speaker 6: The goal was five hundred grand, like for for both daughters.
Speaker 8: So it's like, I'm not saying you have no one
Speaker 8: is entitled or no one is old to donate to
Speaker 8: a gofund me, but like, god damn.
Speaker 3: Then don't.
Speaker 2: Then don't. Yeah on the internet, it's just ugly for
Speaker 2: no reason.
Speaker 3: Mad Like, if you don't want to donate, just.
Speaker 2: Don't, don't go about your business. But they gotta go
Speaker 2: fund me when they acting.
Speaker 1: Go fund me doesn't go fund me actually doesn't take
Speaker 1: that much because they actually ask you to donate to.
Speaker 2: Go fund me.
Speaker 1: So when you when you go to a go fund
Speaker 1: me leak, there will be a button to say how
Speaker 1: much of this percent do you want to go to
Speaker 1: go fund me? Because go fund me is also like
Speaker 1: a is it a nonprofit? It's a it's a crowdfunding site,
Speaker 1: so they also need help to run their business as well,
Speaker 1: so they do take a percentage out of it.
Speaker 2: Are you looking at us?
Speaker 6: Yeah, they'll set you off at a at a minimum
Speaker 6: but you don't have to.
Speaker 2: It could be whatever.
Speaker 8: I think.
Speaker 2: It's like it's thirty per donation. Okay, so barely three percent.
Speaker 1: That it's not a lot. It's not a lot, all right,
Speaker 1: So y'all are y'all are agreeing? People are just upset
Speaker 1: for no reason about this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's some dumb ship like mind your business.
Speaker 4: I think I think like there's a common thread over
Speaker 4: like the things that we're talking about today, right, like
Speaker 4: with the w n b A, what like insurance. It's
Speaker 4: like I feel like people are wrong, like they're mad
Speaker 4: at the wrong thing, and they're not pointing to sort
Speaker 4: of like the larger organizations that have like more influence
Speaker 4: over everything, and they want to do like the personal
Speaker 4: exactly accountability thing of it all.
Speaker 6: Like think it's been telling you that systemically is fucked
Speaker 6: up out here, and nobody wants to hear that.
Speaker 1: The problem is we're just now getting to the realization
Speaker 1: that that American dream, this being the best country in
Speaker 1: the world, this being the country of.
Speaker 4: The that's just it's just advertisement.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: America at one point had a really good pr It
Speaker 1: tricked me this was the best country in the god
Speaker 1: the world and it.
Speaker 6: Ain't Also you need to you know, not to get
Speaker 6: too political, but it's important to vote for people who
Speaker 6: have those interests, which is your should be your best
Speaker 6: interest at heart, because these are people who got to
Speaker 6: advocate when they go to Capitol Hill and talk about
Speaker 6: health care and all of these things. They're the ones
Speaker 6: man that that that that moved the needles. So if
Speaker 6: we're not tapped into that, then we're going to just
Speaker 6: be in this crisis for forever. We will be shot
Speaker 6: in Canada Health.
Speaker 1: You want to go ahead and introduce this next one, John,
Speaker 1: This one is yours.
Speaker 6: Captain Oh Ship, Okay, yeah, So so former NFL player
Speaker 6: Martella's Bennett has a he ain't in it his name Ben.
Speaker 6: Matter of fact, he's not with it because y'all been
Speaker 6: talking to Ship about his program. He has a Disney show,
Speaker 6: a cartoon called Captain Do Rag and apparently what called
Speaker 6: what's that it's called there's a character in Hey AJ
Speaker 6: called Captain do Rag And apparently people are outraged, outraged
Speaker 6: and conflicted about the idea that Captain Do Rag is
Speaker 6: like a black man.
Speaker 2: His Do Rag is his cape.
Speaker 6: He fights crime in the city puts away the bad guys,
Speaker 6: and people are very outraged by the fact that they
Speaker 6: would call a character Captain Dorag.
Speaker 2: Now we do have a clip, Yeah, we have a clip.
Speaker 2: My brother Victor Blackwell. Shout out to Victor Blackwell. I
Speaker 2: do his show on CNN on Sundays.
Speaker 6: He brought this subject to Instagram and it came across
Speaker 6: my timeline and it's Black History Month. I feel like
Speaker 6: this is a good conversation that has Let's just let's
Speaker 6: see what he's talking.
Speaker 2: Let's play a.
Speaker 3: Clip now, y'ah. It is a fairly long clip.
Speaker 1: But what I love about this clip too is that
Speaker 1: you get to hear the actual outrage that we're going
Speaker 1: to kind of respond to.
Speaker 12: Heard about this new controversial character on a show called
Speaker 12: Hey aj on Disney Junior.
Speaker 3: Wow Fury Captain Doing.
Speaker 6: For some reason, Disney decided to say okay to a
Speaker 6: superhero on Disney Junior named Captain Drag.
Speaker 2: Who said do rag in the cave to keep slam City, saying.
Speaker 3: This is freaking outrageous.
Speaker 2: Y'all wrong for this tragic business cracking black don't skin
Speaker 2: men takes out the trash? Are we serious?
Speaker 3: Like in the middle of February too.
Speaker 2: I wonder who greened with that, Like Jamie could not
Speaker 2: have been a black person, like I actually think there.
Speaker 12: Was gonna well, it was created by former NFL player
Speaker 12: author creative Martellus Bennett, and he's a black man.
Speaker 9: I don't care who made it.
Speaker 2: Y'all gonna be like, oh, what black duman? That might
Speaker 2: be worse.
Speaker 12: Bennett posted something on his social media in defense of
Speaker 12: Captain do Rag and the liberation of the black image.
Speaker 2: Here's part of it.
Speaker 12: As a young black boy, my do rag was my
Speaker 12: first superhero cap. I didn't need Batman's cape for dark
Speaker 12: winged DUTs cape for Superman's I had a do rag.
Speaker 12: And when I tied it up and that tail started
Speaker 12: flapping behind me as I ran through the house, nobody
Speaker 12: could stop me. Sequence that was my black imagination doing
Speaker 12: what imagination is supposed to do, making me bigger than
Speaker 12: the world tried to make me. He also wrote this
Speaker 12: Captain do Rag is about empowering the ordinary objects in
Speaker 12: black life, like a do rag. Why can't a do
Speaker 12: rag be a cape? Why can't a black superhero wear
Speaker 12: a do rag? Why can't an imaginative black girl on
Speaker 12: Disney have a superhero who looks like her father, a
Speaker 12: father who wears a do rag around the house. What
Speaker 12: is so bad about a whole family rocking a do rag?
Speaker 12: What is so wrong with letting the do rag be
Speaker 12: the source of a superpower when it has been the
Speaker 12: source of confidence and transformation for generations.
Speaker 1: I actually think it's fly Like that's us y'all telling
Speaker 1: me that ain't fly, you got the dog?
Speaker 2: Stop besting on Captain do Rag. It's actually a cool
Speaker 2: concept in my view. That's why I'm Captain do Rag
Speaker 2: Captain don't Rag.
Speaker 12: So when it comes to Captain do Rag, what do
Speaker 12: you think?
Speaker 6: So Victor asked the question, what's wrong Martella's been? In
Speaker 6: his response asked what's wrong with it? And you know
Speaker 6: what's wrong with it? There's nothing wrong with it. What's
Speaker 6: wrong with these niggas is that they see their lives
Speaker 6: through white people, Like these are these niggas who would
Speaker 6: tell you like I would never eat watermelon in front
Speaker 6: of no white but I don't give a fuck about
Speaker 6: no white person watching them see.
Speaker 2: Me eat watermelon.
Speaker 6: I was joking earlier about the watermelon drinks hydrake. Yeah,
Speaker 6: like nigga, I'm not gonna let these people trick me
Speaker 6: off of some ship that this is our ship, like
Speaker 6: the do rag is are ship?
Speaker 2: Like why why would you be embarrassed about some ship
Speaker 2: that we do.
Speaker 6: Because they associate do rags with with the old ship.
Speaker 1: They sat here and made black men in hoodies be
Speaker 1: criminalized throughout throughout even just the last couple of years, right,
Speaker 1: which is why what is it blue cage?
Speaker 3: Literally his his.
Speaker 1: His uniform was a black hoodie to make it seem
Speaker 1: like bro a black man and a and a hoodie
Speaker 1: is not something to be criminalized. So the idea that
Speaker 1: now they're making a do rag a part of like
Speaker 1: a cape for a superhero, I think it's freaking dope.
Speaker 3: I also, I am so mad that I didn't bring
Speaker 3: in my.
Speaker 4: I'm looking for the rag.
Speaker 1: Board on some inappropriate ship. I put the dow rag
Speaker 1: on because the nigga ca pull my hair. I've had
Speaker 1: a nigga pulled my do rag before. That is like,
Speaker 1: he's not missing that for you off, No, no, I'll be.
Speaker 3: So, but no, I love do rags now to be fair,
Speaker 3: where I.
Speaker 1: Have also in the hypocrite landscape have said that a
Speaker 1: woman's bonnet shouldn't be worn in certain places. To me,
Speaker 1: A do rag is different and I love that we are.
Speaker 1: Mind you, the fact that black people are mad that
Speaker 1: a black person created a show like this with its culture.
Speaker 3: It's like you damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Speaker 1: We've always talked about representation and it actually showing up
Speaker 1: in our entertainment in a.
Speaker 3: Way that uplifts us.
Speaker 1: Right, we talk about how don't nobody want to see
Speaker 1: black on black crime films or a black man getting
Speaker 1: shot or slavery films anymore?
Speaker 3: We finally have a black cartoon.
Speaker 6: That highlight highlighting, celebrating black culture.
Speaker 3: Black culture, and y'all got something.
Speaker 4: And it's a lot of black folks behind it too,
Speaker 4: Like there's a writer on it, Camille Corbett, Like she's
Speaker 4: a Jamaican American comedian. I think she may have been
Speaker 4: the one that actually had created the character. But like
Speaker 4: it's it's solid all around and just a question I
Speaker 4: want to ask y'all and Jaw you alluded to it.
Speaker 4: But like a lot of people are saying, like how
Speaker 4: did like who at Disney did this or who who
Speaker 4: told Disney was okay to do that?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 4: And so John, like I think you're saying, like when
Speaker 4: we're allowed to do something, then we're acting different in
Speaker 4: front of white people. And so like my question is
Speaker 4: what the people who are complaining. It's like, what would
Speaker 4: you want a black show on Disney to look like?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Like does it happen to the Princess and the frog?
Speaker 3: That's you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like does it have to be that?
Speaker 6: Does it have to be fairy tale?
Speaker 1: I think that this shows a black household, which is
Speaker 1: also crazy that someone right now is upset about it.
Speaker 1: And I think that's where when and we'll talk about
Speaker 1: on the bonus episode this week America's Next Top Model
Speaker 1: and seeing it through a different lens. I don't remember
Speaker 1: anyone having a problem with the Proud Family, right, I
Speaker 1: don't remember anyone, you know what I mean? Like, and
Speaker 1: that was what we watched, Like being able to see
Speaker 1: a black family and animation growing up was dope. What's
Speaker 1: the problem with it today? I don't I don't understand
Speaker 1: what the issue is.
Speaker 6: Part of Like the Kendrick was just at the Grammy's
Speaker 6: with a pick in his hair with a black fist,
Speaker 6: like this is our hair, and and like black hair
Speaker 6: has been an issue free as long as I can remin.
Speaker 3: New York Past the Crown Act just.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Crown Act.
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Crown Act was a whole thing and black
Speaker 8: women talking about there you were just talking about your
Speaker 8: hair and working in corporate America and the fear that
Speaker 8: that's struck into how these people are gonna so like,
Speaker 8: this is stuff that we have to deal with.
Speaker 6: I just don't understand looking at life through What will
Speaker 6: white people think if they see this. That's a crazy
Speaker 6: way to wake up in the morning and just be like,
Speaker 6: all right, I gotta make sure white people don't look
Speaker 6: at me weird, like there where are you.
Speaker 2: From this twenty twenty six lenses?
Speaker 1: Since yeah, I'm like, this is like I swear no
Speaker 1: one had an issue a proud family and the blackness
Speaker 1: that was portrayed on that show, and this is I.
Speaker 3: Don't get it. High.
Speaker 6: I went I went to a PWY and my freshman
Speaker 6: year there was like a small handful of black kids
Speaker 6: on campus. I wore my do rag everywhere to class,
Speaker 6: to the to the cafeteria, like and it wasn't even
Speaker 6: necessarily a protest, but it's just like, this is what
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do, right, I don't everything you've.
Speaker 4: Been saying earlier. It's by culture. If you if you're
Speaker 4: not proud of it, then it's not culture. So what
Speaker 4: are we doing?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 3: I do want to shout someone out real quick.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, the the journalist here in Atlanta that you
Speaker 1: said has been doing some.
Speaker 3: Stuff that I dropped.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, is dope anchor? Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, oh my god, hold on. And he wears a
Speaker 3: robe and a.
Speaker 2: Tie and a tie yeah, no code.
Speaker 3: Switching and how he does it, but he's being allowed.
Speaker 1: He just interviewed Gavin new someone who is just in
Speaker 1: Atlanta to I guess he's on a book tour, but
Speaker 1: it was he's just so dope because I think that
Speaker 1: that's what I want to see more of now. I've
Speaker 1: talked about black people coming in not being prepared, but
Speaker 1: he comes in and he's professional, but he's not code switching. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's giving it to you and Atlanta lingo and all.
Speaker 3: And I just love that.
Speaker 6: And it's not and he's not making a mockery of
Speaker 6: one of the beause I just saw the other day
Speaker 6: Sandy Springs police was shutting down on a massage parlor
Speaker 6: that had sex trafficking.
Speaker 8: He was there talking to all of the the swat team.
Speaker 6: He's doing real interviews, asking them real questions, and it's
Speaker 6: not like some gotcha like let's let's laugh now, Like
Speaker 6: he's dead serious.

Speaker 2: Tequila.
Speaker 1: Honestly, Prayers, Prayers to everyone who's stuck out there.
Speaker 2: I will say a new.
Speaker 1: Fear was instilled into me the they're stuck.
Speaker 3: So that's the fear. I'm not gonna lie seeing.
Speaker 1: That they went and attacked the airports, the fear that
Speaker 1: I could be stuck in a country because the cartel
Speaker 1: has now ransacked the the airports so where they can't
Speaker 1: get out. I'm following there's a there's a guy that
Speaker 1: I'm following on Twitter and he's down there.
Speaker 3: He's a journalist. He was just down there for a convention.
Speaker 1: But the idea of going to a country thinking I'm
Speaker 1: going on vacation and I'm going just for a couple
Speaker 1: of days and then I'll be back home and genuinely
Speaker 1: being stuck in a country where they're blowing up cars, buses,
Speaker 1: they're threatening to start doing going into hotels and knocking
Speaker 1: on doors and killing anybody because they're trying to figure
Speaker 1: out who knew who play, or just showing that you
Speaker 1: don't fuck with us.
Speaker 3: I'm horry.
Speaker 1: Reading the news, they're also saying like that now they
Speaker 1: may have to restructure the World Cup because Mexico was
Speaker 1: supposed to host the word the World Cup as well,
Speaker 1: And this is just the scariest thing. And I'm just
Speaker 1: prayers to everybody. Have you been talking to your parents?
Speaker 2: Are they okay?
Speaker 1: That's the one that shut down the Guadalada airport both
Speaker 1: and I hope y'all can hear y'all me because she's
Speaker 1: not miked up. We're gonna have to get our mic soon.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna have to mute her laughs. But our
Speaker 1: parents are currently in Guadalada and it's two hours away.
Speaker 2: Maybe she could do it. You know what it is.
Speaker 7: I could do it in Florida.
Speaker 2: Speak English.
Speaker 3: Damn blow to education school.
Speaker 2: You never listen to me, this guy said? What you
Speaker 2: never the mean? This guy? You know, dad, Yankee, You're
Speaker 2: done problem, moving on. Yeah, you never listened to the sky.
Speaker 3: They're not even Mexican.
Speaker 2: I know. But I'm just saying, Salinas anything anything.
Speaker 3: We should not have gotten here with this book.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, that the video of them blowing up a costco.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, these niggas ship.
Speaker 3: And I see that they're targeting taxicab drivers.
Speaker 8: Xicab drivers, Yeah, taxicab hotels and resorts like and I'm
Speaker 8: not gonna hold you the way you were opening up
Speaker 8: that description about like going on vacation.
Speaker 6: It did feel like the beginning of like a Liam
Speaker 6: Neeson movie, going on vacation to have a good time.
Speaker 6: It ship breaks out and I'm here now I got
Speaker 6: to whip these niggas ass.
Speaker 2: But blowing up a random car isn't gonna fire out.
Speaker 2: Who did that shit? Now?
Speaker 3: Yeah they're doing that.
Speaker 1: They're putting their dick on the table pretty much like, yo,
Speaker 1: we will burn this, we run this ship and which
Speaker 1: which when you go to Mexico, mind you, let's just
Speaker 1: take it for y'all ignorant people, because I see people, well.
Speaker 2: They ain't in to loom.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah right, yeah, Like it could not only go
Speaker 1: reach that far when you leave the airport. It's why
Speaker 1: you have to go. And you can't just hop in
Speaker 1: an uber. You can't just hop in a cab because
Speaker 1: the cartel owns the cab companies, and so it's why
Speaker 1: you have to take certain cabs to certain places on
Speaker 1: hotel row and it's numbered because certain cartels own certain
Speaker 1: parts of goddamn hotel row, which means you can only
Speaker 1: get into certain cabs. Like there's no uber like in
Speaker 1: certain places in Mexico, you gotta use the taxi cab companies.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 6: It's crazy, and some of this shit is happening because
Speaker 6: Trump is putting his foot on their neck to do
Speaker 6: shit in Mexico to get the cartel to keep bringing
Speaker 6: you know, they're bringing fence and all, they're bringing all
Speaker 6: this shit over here.
Speaker 2: So them trying to.
Speaker 8: Keep Trump happy and keep US boots off the ground
Speaker 8: in Mexico, because that's basically what he's threatening them with.
Speaker 3: Boots off the ground.
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, bound, Yeah, they don't want no trouble, and
Speaker 7: so they're trying to keep they're trying to keep Big
Speaker 7: Orange happy, and so they're.
Speaker 4: Trying to keep them out of their business.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right right, Like it's just the domino effect of
Speaker 6: how this ship has played out is like this is
Speaker 6: just another fucked up situation that you could lay right
Speaker 6: at Donald Trump's feet.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of beef, let's get into the last topic
Speaker 1: of the day. We got celebrity say the darnas things
Speaker 1: and it's been fifty versus everybody. I feel like that
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna start wearing that shirt.
Speaker 3: Y'all ever seen that shirts?
Speaker 2: Everybody?
Speaker 3: It's fifty versus everybody.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about him and Jim Jones over the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks and now him and t I
Speaker 1: are going Now. We talked about it briefly last week
Speaker 1: where t I said.
Speaker 2: That it would be a good versus.
Speaker 3: Y'all heard our take. We said I.
Speaker 1: Would win that ship in a landslo Who's we? You
Speaker 1: did not say fifty said would beat I.
Speaker 6: Do say that I was gonna beat fifty in a landslide.
Speaker 6: That's crazy to say landslide.
Speaker 3: You don't you think it would be closed.
Speaker 6: I think I think the versus is performative. So it's
Speaker 6: like it all depends on it's like a show whatever, whatever.
Speaker 6: I don't know if fifty cots energy, it's not even energy.
Speaker 1: Candy Shop ain't really touching anything. Candy shop is white.
Speaker 4: Is performative, endurance.
Speaker 2: Is not bad? Is not bad?
Speaker 3: You were winks but you never.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what was that was like it was like record
Speaker 2: Harlem with her.
Speaker 3: Mouth, but you like, don't clip this up.
Speaker 4: We need to we need to do.
Speaker 3: But his music was like, y'all y'all doing twenty one questions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's as classic. That's a classic. Phisy's gonna have
Speaker 2: Phiy's gonna win some of those rounds.
Speaker 6: But but you're not gonna landslide, I don't think, but
Speaker 6: I do think I would probably win.
Speaker 2: That's the thing about it. Out of twenty that nigga
Speaker 2: might get twenty six. That's the thing.
Speaker 6: Fifty would burn out fast in twenty songs because there
Speaker 6: might not be a whole twenty.
Speaker 2: That hold up.
Speaker 6: And what a many man the landslide, he's gonna use
Speaker 6: the power theme, So that's that's because that's that's that's
Speaker 6: one he'll probably get that.
Speaker 3: He doesn't go with tree songs. They didn't even like
Speaker 3: that version.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, yeah you want to break back?
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, version like with the ship bro like I
Speaker 6: think he got he got. It wouldn't be your last
Speaker 6: slide for sure. I don't think it'll be.
Speaker 4: A king, a king for it's fourteen six a landslide though, manlide.
Speaker 2: I don't think it was fourteen What do you think
Speaker 2: it would be?
Speaker 11: No, but it is.
Speaker 2: But if it was going to be bring him up,
Speaker 2: bring him out, bring him out, twenty four is like
Speaker 2: run New York. That's a banger. Yeah, New York, many.
Speaker 4: Man, I get money, that's three right there, get.

Speaker 2: the club, the club.
Speaker 6: That's like you're gonna come off and get rich trying Yeah, no,
Speaker 6: amusement park, how to run whatever he got, how to how.
Speaker 2: To run the other way.

Speaker 2: Okay in the club? Yeah?
Speaker 13: Go with you need we need an onsets, Yeah, get
Speaker 13: you one of them.
Speaker 3: I'm not so replaced Chris Brown at Dreamville. I think
Speaker 3: last year a.
Speaker 1: Completely I hold you his visuals he had be like this,
Speaker 1: but I just don't think he's being TI. Anyways, let's
Speaker 1: get into now the t IV.
Speaker 3: So that's how it started.
Speaker 1: T I recently sat on I think it was a
Speaker 1: million dollars worth of game, yes, and he shared that
Speaker 1: in private.
Speaker 3: Fifty agreed to a versus and then he backed out
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 1: So t I went to my nigga, now I don't
Speaker 1: respect no nigga now like and he went, you know,
Speaker 1: was like, I don't respect that because.
Speaker 3: You agree and now you're backing out.
Speaker 1: But nigga fifty cent responded how he knows how to
Speaker 1: respond by posting a picture of Tiny, a very unflattering
Speaker 1: photo of Tiny, and it was it was unflattered.
Speaker 2: Was it wasn't a good picture.
Speaker 3: Now she has some good pictures.
Speaker 1: But even if it's a bad pictures, some whole ass ship,
Speaker 1: right because like like what everybody say, even the cartel
Speaker 1: no no women and children?
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, but not everybody, that's what you're doing, but
Speaker 2: not everybody children. But that's the problem. Not everybody abised
Speaker 2: by those rules.
Speaker 6: And I think fifties excuses that if these excuses, yo,
Speaker 6: like Andrew can do it. If if the caption, the
Speaker 6: caption said that that I told y'all keep saying my name,
Speaker 6: so that justifies him for being that's not justifying what
Speaker 6: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: In his mind.
Speaker 6: His mind is he's like, yo, I don't have a rule,
Speaker 6: just keep my name out of your mouth and we
Speaker 6: won't do none of this. Well, and I think that's
Speaker 6: why t I is like, yo, well, I don't want
Speaker 6: to stand on stage with you now.
Speaker 2: It's not even that.
Speaker 3: In response to that, his son King came out and
Speaker 3: not going it got even more.
Speaker 1: Disrespect not going on some well, your mama is dead
Speaker 1: and buried, so unbury your mama before you talk about
Speaker 1: my mama, which is also whoa.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 3: I didn't even want to play the clip because I mean,
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 2: Bad on both both it was bad. Yeah yeah, but
Speaker 2: when you do that, though, he's not going.
Speaker 3: To stop the Ey's response to that, though he did
Speaker 3: get in the booth.
Speaker 2: He did. He didn't put a name on it though
Speaker 2: not yet. I'm just saying that this he don't.
Speaker 4: Put it, but you don't put a name on it.
Speaker 4: On the first clip, I was gonna say, you know, yeah,
Speaker 4: the warning we care.
Speaker 2: To see, I don't. I don't want. I know, I
Speaker 2: don't want because what happened in the group chat.
Speaker 1: We literally said, and this is before I sent y'all
Speaker 1: that he responded in the booth, it was yo. When
Speaker 1: we start talking about kids, dead mom, why, it becomes
Speaker 1: a little like the boundary and energy no longer entertaining.
Speaker 2: Did your mama energy?
Speaker 3: Did your mama?
Speaker 2: But also his wife, So it's like, I mean, yeah, but.
Speaker 3: Also said my mama, who my mama is? Your mama
Speaker 3: was a jay? Also like.
Speaker 1: Crazy when we say that we want beef, I think
Speaker 1: the same way we were talking about okay, some beafs
Speaker 1: lash forever We were talking about.
Speaker 3: The the Uncle murder Jah rule job.
Speaker 1: Now with this beef though, you're now involving wives and children,
Speaker 1: and the children are now responding to you. It's now
Speaker 1: a family matter versus somebody that allegedly has music dropping.
Speaker 1: But we haven't gotten really music from fifty in a while.
Speaker 1: Allegedly he's dropping an album this year.
Speaker 4: We'll see.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he responds in the booth.
Speaker 6: I don't see him doing that, just because I feel
Speaker 6: like he'd rather play these Wi Fi games games, but
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 2: I guess we'll find out. So as we record this,
Speaker 2: let me come on breaking new. I love the journalist.
Speaker 6: He posted it's not going to stop.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, who just posted he doesn't know how to stop? Wait?
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 6: So he posted a video from another YouTube platform, five
Speaker 6: to Movement.
Speaker 2: Oh no, and they're talking about it.
Speaker 6: So he posted that, but the centerpiece picture of it
Speaker 6: is always tiny and king in the video, and he
Speaker 6: Gottler Jim, oh man, it's crazy. That's why I said,
Speaker 6: I don't know where this is going to go. This
Speaker 6: is what I don't know.
Speaker 2: But here's the like, fifty is this not hip hop?
Speaker 2: Don't we like me?
Speaker 4: But you know the comments. Let me let me read
Speaker 4: you some of the comments on the post right because
Speaker 4: people are saying, I don't know, but I thought the
Speaker 4: most ruthless gangster said no women, no children. And then
Speaker 4: you got this is some corny energy. And then you
Speaker 4: got here, y'all new ninjas, ain't got no code. Tiny,
Speaker 4: be minding her business and don't be bothering anyone. Maybe
Speaker 4: I'm square, but I didn't see the humor in this.
Speaker 3: Here's the hipocrisy.
Speaker 2: I also see I like Tiny, but I love fifty.
Speaker 3: Here's the hypocrisy and all of this.
Speaker 1: No one was that mad when Drake said, Kendrick, that
Speaker 1: baby not your baby. No one was mad when when
Speaker 1: pusha t announced that Drake had a kid with who
Speaker 1: he had.
Speaker 3: A kid with, He talked about who he had a
Speaker 3: kid with.
Speaker 6: But but like this, hold on, don't do that. But
Speaker 6: Drake with his cause is an effect. Drake called out
Speaker 6: push your T wife first. Then we get to a Donnis.
Speaker 6: He wasn't gonna say nothing about that. Most of the
Speaker 6: time in Drake's case, yeah yeah, like right now you're
Speaker 6: doing nothing.
Speaker 4: You're doing what you said earlier today, King, when you
Speaker 4: said when we were talking about Republicans of being like
Speaker 4: your wisemun Donnie want to show ID when they don't
Speaker 4: want to show you. Well, it's all unrelated and all
Speaker 4: of it is lame, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 4: I thing was like fifty, It's like we do love fifty,
Speaker 4: but it's like when he gets to pushing the buttons,
Speaker 4: it's like he's man corny, right, Like what we love
Speaker 4: you for is like your your humor and the ship
Speaker 4: that you put out. But this ain't funny, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. And it's like if you have an
Speaker 4: issue with t I and take it to t I
Speaker 4: right like or Jim, Like if you have an issue
Speaker 4: with Jim, like say the thing that you're saying right Instead,
Speaker 4: you're just trying to be funny and hashtag like your
Speaker 4: liquor brand and nobody drinks, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So it's to me, it's like, what is he doing, Jason?
Speaker 1: But this is the thing instead of making a police report,
Speaker 1: instead of coming to somebody talking to them on the phone,
Speaker 1: everybody wants to bring ship to the Internet.
Speaker 3: That's just where you.
Speaker 2: Should make a police report, see what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't live on those street code. I'm
Speaker 2: snitch to what the subway say. If you see something,
Speaker 2: say something, yeah, that that up.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm in the airport and you just put your
Speaker 8: bag down and then get at them down the street.
Speaker 2: And I'm just looking at the ground. Yeah no nigga,
Speaker 2: I'm saying, hey, him right there in the hoodie just
Speaker 2: ran off with this.
Speaker 3: I just think it's getting to a nasty place.
Speaker 1: Yes, so to me an unsafe place where it gets
Speaker 1: a little, it gets a little sticky. I don't know,
Speaker 1: these are these are people that I have histories of
Speaker 1: guns like these. This ain't like where where Tip is from.
Speaker 2: He's not gonna play around with I think that these.
Speaker 3: Are both very street people.
Speaker 1: So to where we knew that Drake wasn't street was
Speaker 1: either a two street street niggas and hip hop.
Speaker 3: And I just don't want to see it get there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, I hope it can be contained, but you know,
Speaker 6: we know we can't. No one can stop fifty and so,
Speaker 6: like like you said, this is going to keep going on. Now,
Speaker 6: how long The question is how long is it going
Speaker 6: to be before t I sees that?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 3: All I know is these rooms get smaller and smaller.
Speaker 3: I run to Goddamn. I think every week I see
Speaker 3: t I out here in these streets. Yeah out fifty
Speaker 3: maybe not so much, but I.
Speaker 1: Do think it's interesting where fifty is doing so much
Speaker 1: creatively with the studios he's building, with the with the.
Speaker 3: Films and things he makes.
Speaker 1: It sucks that every time we do as a community
Speaker 1: talk about fifty, it's him coming after jobs, him coming
Speaker 1: after gym, it's him coming, it's him coming after other
Speaker 1: black creatives, and it's like, what, it's hard to keep.
Speaker 2: Rooting for him.
Speaker 3: And the thing that do you think, like you said,
Speaker 3: he's trying to bring down so.
Speaker 2: Many ship depending on everybody.
Speaker 4: Many do you think you said, like you could see
Speaker 4: t I. Do you think because fifty is not around
Speaker 4: that's yeah, moving.
Speaker 1: Like academics like fifty. You don't really run into fifty.
Speaker 1: Fifty don't go to awards shows. Fifty don't be at
Speaker 1: these parties.
Speaker 3: Fifty don't be in people's faces for real, for real.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, a lot of
Speaker 1: the niggas you do surround himself with are begging for checks.
Speaker 2: But it's the actors, it's the men that are like
Speaker 2: he'd be on the.
Speaker 6: Power there was a time, right, there was a time though,
Speaker 6: when fifty was walking around whatever.
Speaker 2: Like, he doesn't do that, no, because he's he's he shouldn't.
Speaker 2: He shouldn't have to and.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have to, and so it allows him to
Speaker 1: have Twitter fingers. It allows him to do that. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, he don't run it. He
Speaker 1: don't actually be outside with these with theseus. The picture
Speaker 1: that looks crazy, the.
Speaker 6: Picture with his wife. No, no, I'm just shreing what
Speaker 6: I'm looking at now, it's crazy. One hundred and fifty
Speaker 6: thousand people liked it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that shit.
Speaker 6: Why is it not the silent protesting And I'm not
Speaker 6: liking that ship? Oh yeah, no, I mean you know
Speaker 6: what it is.
Speaker 1: It's not that they like the picture. They're liking the
Speaker 1: people are entertained, yea. And also, you're liking a picture
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you agree with what's happening.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what it like means anymore. I
Speaker 4: don't even know what it like means anymore.
Speaker 2: People just like, I mean, yeah, because it juicifies your algorithm.
Speaker 3: Well no, no, no, apparently liking a photo means cheating nowadays.
Speaker 2: But we're not. Yeah, That's what's the other part. It
Speaker 2: depends on what it is.
Speaker 6: Right, people will post a news story about somebody getting
Speaker 6: shot tragically and people tap it in like and have
Speaker 6: millions of likes, And I'm pretty sure the people who
Speaker 6: like it it are all in the KKK. They liking
Speaker 6: it because they're they're saying, in that case, it's a protest.
Speaker 6: If it's some titties and it's like, hey, nigga, why
Speaker 6: are you liking them?
Speaker 2: Are you liking them titties? Because everybody likes titties. I
Speaker 2: like them, white titties, man, women, child, y'all like the history.
Speaker 2: That's what we call a book. Nd right, then.
Speaker 4: From beginning to the end, this.

Speaker 1: conversation sounded like, because I was very surprised to hear

Speaker 1: them that much, and so where I thought maybe we
Speaker 1: were done with hearing about it because it's been happening
Speaker 1: so long. I'm excited for y'all to hear what the
Speaker 1: conversation was about the Epstein files. So stay tuned at

Speaker 1: conversations matter. See you next week and stay tuned or
Speaker 1: some Epsteam files. Talk with my classmates, See you guys
Speaker 1: next week. And I love my classmates as a whole.
Speaker 1: Do we care about the Epstein files?
Speaker 9: What we do?
Speaker 2: We should? We do?
Speaker 11: I want the files to be Epstein trials because unless
Speaker 11: they're gonna actually follow up with charges.
Speaker 9: Of any change.
Speaker 3: So that's that's talk about it.
Speaker 2: That's what Europe.
Speaker 11: Europe is doing, ship with it. They're like, get that
Speaker 11: motherfucker out of here, get his office rated, do this,
Speaker 11: do that, and America is like the trench coat, no.
Speaker 2: Truth.
Speaker 11: That's America right now. With the Epstein files. We wanted
Speaker 11: them out, we got them out. What are you gonna
Speaker 11: do otherwise. You're repeatedly telling America, you're repeatedly telling women,
Speaker 11: you're repeatedly telling childreneral, we don't give a ship about you.
Speaker 11: Your body is for our pleasure. It's for us to
Speaker 11: do whatever we want.
Speaker 2: Go deal with it.
Speaker 11: And especially as more and more of our autonomy over
Speaker 11: our fucking health, over our bodies, over the information that
Speaker 11: we choose to share about our bodies and our health,
Speaker 11: you got us fucked up. And then you want to
Speaker 11: complain about the birth rate.
Speaker 3: Now we not giving none of you pussy.
Speaker 2: You don't deserve it.
Speaker 11: Look how you continue to treat us. Look how you
Speaker 11: are going to continue to do us. What's the point
Speaker 11: of you breaking out the files if you're not taking
Speaker 11: these motherfuckers to court.
Speaker 1: It's crazy because I had this conversation with very earlier,
Speaker 1: and I one hundred percent agree with what you said.
Speaker 1: But maybe I'm coming from a more defeatist standpoint because
Speaker 1: I have seen so many people not care about women.
Speaker 3: Our rights have been taken away.
Speaker 1: I do continue to see celebrities and influencers be accused
Speaker 1: of domestic violence and sexual assault and still continue to
Speaker 1: make millions and be platformed, but also a part of me, wait,
Speaker 1: let me finish soup. So a part of me when
Speaker 1: it comes to this conversation of the Epstein files, the
Speaker 1: same way we kind of got exhausted with the fucking
Speaker 1: Drake and Kendrick shit is to me, we've been talking
Speaker 1: about these Epstein files for a pre pandemic all like
Speaker 1: I think what twenty eighteen we were introduced, especially right
Speaker 1: after Harvey Weinstein and them getting into the Me Too movement.
Speaker 1: It's almost been six seven years of talking about this shit.
Speaker 1: Mind you, We've elected a president that is clearly all
Speaker 1: up through there, and so a part of me genuinely
Speaker 1: feels like this country that we grew up in is
Speaker 1: fucking a fraud and what we think we can do
Speaker 1: and where we think we can make change in motion
Speaker 1: to see the reversal. Labro v Wade, which I always
Speaker 1: reference is like Brud, they really don't care about like
Speaker 1: and so Barry literally verbatim, Connie said everything you just said.
Speaker 1: And yes, justice is something we always want to see,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately I have lost faith in this country specifically
Speaker 1: giving justice when it's due and where it's needed because
Speaker 1: and I hate to say it, I know you brought
Speaker 1: up Tyra Banks. This country is now operated like a
Speaker 1: reality show and it's laughable, and I think people people
Speaker 1: enjoy entertainment over real action because I think.
Speaker 3: It's easier to laugh at what we're living in than.
Speaker 1: Really sit with the fact that all of our leaders
Speaker 1: are pedophiles, all of the people that we've put into
Speaker 1: position of power literally don't care about the rights of women,
Speaker 1: don't respect women, don't like black people, want to send
Speaker 1: away the immigrants that also help. I can't say build
Speaker 1: up this country because boy, they came for shaboozie, but
Speaker 1: they're a part of why America is America, right, And
Speaker 1: so unfortunately it's easier to just laugh at this shit
Speaker 1: and laugh at Trump and make this shit become like
Speaker 1: almost a reality series then really sit with the reality
Speaker 1: that these are our leaders and so a part of
Speaker 1: me when when I why I pose this question here
Speaker 1: is because we could talk about new pages being leaked
Speaker 1: and new people being accused every single week for the
Speaker 1: rest of probably eternity, right, But from an entertainment perspective,
Speaker 1: is it dawning? Do you guys want to hear it
Speaker 1: every week? And so I wanted to bring it specifically
Speaker 1: to the class assembly to see if this is some
Speaker 1: content that you want to hear me and the super
Speaker 1: producers dissect.
Speaker 6: Or not.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, and sup.
Speaker 8: I think that a lot of things, a lot of
Speaker 8: things that you said that you pointed out was was
Speaker 8: is right. But at the same time too, it's not
Speaker 8: just about just women's bodies and things that are so
Speaker 8: also right. These are children, these are babies who's being kidnapped,
Speaker 8: these are babies being abused. Checks the abuse and taking
Speaker 8: advantage of whether it's being drugged. There's so there's so
Speaker 8: many things about the files that that's crazy in itself.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I think I think Barry brought up that.
Speaker 1: There's literally a page where it says somebody we don't
Speaker 1: know who ate the baby.
Speaker 8: Yes, And I was about to go there, and I'm
Speaker 8: talking about talking.
Speaker 3: About follow them. I choose to swallow them.
Speaker 8: Things of that sort is like not too much on me,
Speaker 8: Like like you know, Barry, you know.
Speaker 3: Baby sit the kids all down my throat, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean?
Speaker 2: This nigger.
Speaker 8: With the hard yar yo, who I mean I mean,
Speaker 8: I mean, you're still a African Americans, so you're still
Speaker 8: a hearty yar. But with that saying though, I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Right, American, Yes, African American.
Speaker 3: History much you're gonna do me like that?
Speaker 1: So I mean, hey, King, don't you dare repeat this
Speaker 1: bullshit because I think.
Speaker 8: I will give you these bars.
Speaker 2: I will give you these bars because this is this
Speaker 2: is what Sup and Barry does.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's it's definitely happening American.
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean, you know, I still got them,
Speaker 8: you know, man, you just refuse to put me on.
Speaker 8: But anyway, that's another conversation. So I'm just saying, I'm
Speaker 8: just saying, but still in a serious note in the
Speaker 8: conversation about because I work at a domestic violence shelter,
Speaker 8: and I deal with these women every single day, right,
Speaker 8: and and I'm looking at these kids, and some of
Speaker 8: these kids they're living in conditions that they're dealing with,
Speaker 8: conditions I could imagine.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't let me rephrase that.
Speaker 8: I can't imagine my kids being kidnapped, being in spaces
Speaker 8: where they're being male norris mistreated, and all those other
Speaker 8: things that it just it it goes too crazy and.
Speaker 3: Then sold off on the internet as a cabinet and.
Speaker 8: And then and then on top of that, look at
Speaker 8: it like I remember when I was a kid, I
Speaker 8: was like, Yo, what the fuck do they do with
Speaker 8: these pictures?
Speaker 2: When I was in grade school?
Speaker 8: So now wait wait.
Speaker 3: Wait that was something new today?
Speaker 2: Yo?
Speaker 3: Right, but but but but the company that used to
Speaker 3: take our school picture.
Speaker 8: But that said, like I said, with my brain and
Speaker 8: me being me being in the creatives, creative space, I
Speaker 8: can take it way darker than that. But the point
Speaker 8: that I'm saying is that we need to as much
Speaker 8: as the Epstein Files is relevant, it should be very
Speaker 8: very relevant, because you know, these are these people's kids.
Speaker 8: These are people's children, and it's still going on that
Speaker 8: needs to be cracked down, that needs to be investigated,
Speaker 8: that needs to be like like who's it Prince Prince
Speaker 8: whatever that just recently got arrested, Like, yo, motherfucker what Okay?
Speaker 1: I appreciate the feedback. We're gonna dive into the Epstein
Speaker 1: Files more. Trev will let you talk, and then we'll
Speaker 1: get into music, and then I'll say, and you all
Speaker 1: on your way on this Friday evening.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Trev.
Speaker 9: I mean I was just gonna say, yeah, I think
Speaker 9: we all we all care about it.
Speaker 3: I'd be entertaining for you to listen to it every
Speaker 3: week though, you know.
Speaker 4: What I mean.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know if every podcast needs to be
Speaker 9: going over it all the time.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean that's just me.
Speaker 9: I'm just one person, But I mean I agree with
Speaker 9: everything everybody's been saying. And I was just talking to
Speaker 9: my boy James at lunch today and he was like,
Speaker 9: you know, what's gonna happen? You know, is anything going
Speaker 9: to happen with this? And I'm like, well, I mean
Speaker 9: under normal, normal circumstances. Yeah, but you know, the executive
Speaker 9: branch is the ones who are supposed to enforce the
Speaker 9: laws and the whole when all of them, you know,
Speaker 9: when they don't aren't doing their job unless the orange
Speaker 9: one upstairs says do it then, and especially when he's
Speaker 9: in it, then you know there's just there's no enforcement arm.
Speaker 9: Even judges can say whatever they want the Congress, but
Speaker 9: the people who's supposed to execute the laws are the
Speaker 9: ones who are who's captured and said no.
Speaker 1: I will say Jazz Jazz in the chat just said
Speaker 1: that none of the pause that she listens to brings
Speaker 1: it up. And I'll be honest to say, from a
Speaker 1: very ignorant scope, brilliant idiots does from a more educated lens,
Speaker 1: higher learning does. But overall, the pods I listen to,
Speaker 1: I agree, aren't really bringing it up unless it reaches
Speaker 1: like pop culture. But to know that the amount of pages,
Speaker 1: of the amount of details, I don't I don't feel
Speaker 1: like many people within our culture.
Speaker 3: Are yet dissecting it to the point that's bringing the awareness.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's super heavy to being.
Speaker 3: It is heavy when you want to last, it's yeah.
Speaker 9: And it's terrible, but yeah, I mean, well it can feel.
Speaker 11: Like trauma porn, Yeah, where you get so much of it.
Speaker 11: The only thing I did want to say, because I've
Speaker 11: been watching a lot of documentary use Jojo, you know,
