Speaker 2: It's in me now watching you and Bill have a
Speaker 2: very eerily Uh you're very similar and yeah in your face.
Speaker 7: Area, your face areas are a little similar.
Speaker 2: Demeanor, like, both of you are dressed alike. You did
Speaker 2: you guys coordinate this?
Speaker 1: No? No, yeah, you both have black hoodies.
Speaker 2: One Bill, you guys are kind of like the black
Speaker 2: version of the Trench Cope Mafia that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but we're just gonna walk up into a place
Speaker 6: and make music spread exactly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got so many find that picture. We took
Speaker 3: a picture like ten years ago. It's just to prove
Speaker 3: that we were two separate people, because like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: kept getting you look a lot like whyatt you know?
Speaker 6: And that was from his family members.
Speaker 2: Speaking of pictures from a long time ago. I made
Speaker 2: this weird discovery. Only if you are kind of a
Speaker 2: day one well I don't want to use a drake term,
Speaker 2: but if you were a day one okay, if you
Speaker 2: were Day one of okay, player whom I call vets.
Speaker 2: How's this for the strangest turnaround possible? Bill, do you
Speaker 2: remember Stalker of.
Speaker 1: The Month or yes? All right, so.
Speaker 2: Wow, there's a situation where like, uh, I don't know,
Speaker 2: maybe I handed out my my beeper number out to
Speaker 2: you know, to a few people, but you know, not
Speaker 2: thinking anything of it. You just give your beeper number out,
Speaker 2: not your personal beeper.
Speaker 1: For those that are listening that were born after nineteen ninety.
Speaker 6: Or that aren't doctors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was what beeper still exists.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I have three.
Speaker 7: But you're not a doctor.
Speaker 6: You don't know that.
Speaker 2: So anyway, the point, the point being, this is starting
Speaker 2: to feel like an NPR.
Speaker 7: This feels like a sip yet that's all right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can we have some do say?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm so proud of my baby. He goes so far,
Speaker 8: y'all don't know. Remember he used to just drink framoire.
Speaker 7: I'm just I don't.
Speaker 1: Understand this anyway. He was on the Atlantic.
Speaker 2: Anyway, all right, so check it. So there was this
Speaker 2: person that just kept calling and calling and calling and
Speaker 2: calling and calling and calling the phone.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 2: It was becoming problematic. And so this is like, you know,
Speaker 2: the earliest nineteen ninety eight, during the age of the
Speaker 2: Internet's kind of early years, formative years. Anyway, So we
Speaker 2: were building Okay Player and my partner Angie Thistle, and
Speaker 2: I decided to start something called the Oka Player Stalker
Speaker 2: of the Month. So this guy used to leave these
Speaker 2: long message about how the roots were you know, these
Speaker 2: angelic here rose. So long story short, I changed the
Speaker 2: beeper number and I decided, I guess for my safety,
Speaker 2: the sort of put these messages up on an okay player.
Speaker 1: This sort of deterred or just in case something happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in case something happened to me.
Speaker 2: I have the strangest feeling that I just hired that
Speaker 2: person to be in my band.
Speaker 3: Whoa wait, wait, wait a minute, there was an opening
Speaker 3: in the band.
Speaker 7: Breaking news, breaking news, there was band member.
Speaker 2: Yeah wait wait, this is all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: This is all I'm saying. This is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: One of the old administrators of Okay Player hands me
Speaker 2: this old ass photo of me at a record store
Speaker 2: in Canada with the guy with an afro and it's
Speaker 2: and it's Joe Elliott.
Speaker 1: Whoa, oh shit.
Speaker 2: And I was like, wait a minute, that's the Okay
Speaker 2: Player start.
Speaker 1: That's good, that's good. Yeah. So anyway, that's that's how
Speaker 1: my year is going.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 2: When someone stalks you and it waits for twenty years, Yeah,
Speaker 2: then you hire them to be.
Speaker 1: Your stro I admire your long game. Well done.
Speaker 6: That's also a very different ending for misery or we're
Speaker 6: not there yet. It could be it's just the beginning.
Speaker 6: It was just the beginning. If you see a sledge
Speaker 6: lock of wood between between feet and stroe just taking
Speaker 6: a sledgehammer to him until you finish those beats.
Speaker 1: Kathy Bates hasn't been around the NBC building lately. No,
Speaker 1: she isn't.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't mind if stro murdered me, you know, like,
Speaker 5: if anybody's going to murder me, I'd be cool with it.
Speaker 5: If it was St'd be like whatever. He probably had
Speaker 5: a reason.
Speaker 1: Probably we are.
Speaker 2: We already we ta Strow a lot because well because
Speaker 2: show kind of looks like like the black version of Dexter,
Speaker 2: not Dexter, the Dexter, Dexter's Lab, the cartoonist.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, so we always joked that, you know, you.
Speaker 8: Thought the murderer, right, why you thought, No Dexter. You
Speaker 8: didn't think murderer.
Speaker 3: No, not Lumberjack Dexter. That was also something that happened
Speaker 3: in twenty ten. We need to get to that.
Speaker 7: Are we talking about Dexter? Are we talking about what
Speaker 7: you're talking about talking about?
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Showtime Dexter, me too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I meant. I was saying that, not
Speaker 2: Showtime Dexter. So all right, here's the thing we.
Speaker 1: All of us.
Speaker 6: Dexter is a guy who just hangs out on the
Speaker 6: Q train and dances. You need to clarify, you mean
Speaker 6: Showtime TV Network Dexter, not Showtime Dexter who danced different guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, different and tries not to kick people in
Speaker 1: the face.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he always does.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: I know, I know this conversation is going to take
Speaker 2: a turn for the worst. So what I would like
Speaker 2: to do at least is to start of the bright spot.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I told everyone here to at least come up with
Speaker 2: things that made them happy during the decade, for you know,
Speaker 2: between TV movies and albums and whatever forms of entertainment.
Speaker 2: So in compiling my list, I realized that I've consumed
Speaker 2: a lot more, way, much more television than any human
Speaker 2: being probably should have. And it's in your period, Like
Speaker 2: I think TV has become my records.
Speaker 1: Yes for me too.
Speaker 6: Can I have your records? Then?
Speaker 1: No, absolutely not?
Speaker 2: But yet and still I've consumed a whole lot of music,
Speaker 2: but not in a tangible way where it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: I didn't invest in these records, like I just heard
Speaker 2: them and streamed them. So I mean, this is the
Speaker 2: first decade of really like full streaming.
Speaker 8: So it's remember where you used to go by like
Speaker 8: ten copies of people's records.
Speaker 7: I remember you used to do that.
Speaker 2: I still do it, I mean, but it's as hard
Speaker 2: as hell to do it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I purchased like twenty black Messias, oh but bout three.
Speaker 5: That's like, so you think you're interested, Like why do
Speaker 5: you think this is?
Speaker 2: As a DJ and a member of the Tonight Show,
Speaker 2: I'm very much aware of what's happening in music, but
Speaker 2: it's so much overload that I'm a little dismayed that
Speaker 2: my not to mention all the deaths of my heroes
Speaker 2: in alarming rates. So I just have this.
Speaker 1: I don't know this.
Speaker 2: I think music is now sort of like to me
Speaker 2: what bread is to us or water.
Speaker 3: There's a lot more to watch also, you know, yeah, television,
Speaker 3: they really up their games these last.
Speaker 1: Time television is like the new movies too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know if it's fair of like
Speaker 2: movie stars, like for Meryl Streep to come to uh,
Speaker 2: what's the.
Speaker 7: HBO show with the Big Lives?
Speaker 1: Yeah, big little Lives?
Speaker 2: Like I think that's so unfair, Like it's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you know you're gonna give her the Emmy.
Speaker 6: Well, but whether it's good or not, it's funny because
Speaker 6: you say that's unfair. But there was a time in
Speaker 6: like the eighties and nineties where for a movie star
Speaker 6: to wind up on television it was like something that
Speaker 6: bad happened in their career. It was, you know, the
Speaker 6: equivalent of like going and playing Las Vegas or something
Speaker 6: like that.
Speaker 2: But everyone's But that to me is also that is
Speaker 2: what's happening everyone. Everyone's plan b winds up being their work,
Speaker 2: you know, no matter how much. And now I am like,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm now ten years into the Tonight Show game,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't.
Speaker 6: You don't have to brag.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's your humble brag. It doesn't.
Speaker 2: No, it just it doesn't sting as much when like
Speaker 2: people yell, hey, that's Jimmy Fallon's drummer as it did
Speaker 2: during the first four years, as if you know, the
Speaker 2: first four years.
Speaker 1: I felt like.
Speaker 2: That's like a person going on to Michael Jordan being like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're the actor in those Haynes commercials, or.
Speaker 6: Like, oh you're Phil Jackson's shooting guard.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, sort of sort.
Speaker 6: Of Phil, like Jimmy is the Phil Jackson of the
Speaker 6: ninety four Chicago Bulls.
Speaker 5: Let's go with the Haynes analogy.
Speaker 1: I like mine better. I'm with white. But that's not
Speaker 1: because just not because we look alike. Okay, so I
Speaker 1: know that one said one one, one thing of each, but.
Speaker 7: No it didn't work.
Speaker 1: Yeah some of us, what is it? Like? What's your
Speaker 1: what was your five TV shows?
Speaker 7: So here's a deal. I did TV shows.
Speaker 8: But I also think it's weird because now we're in
Speaker 8: a decade where we have all these streaming services. Right,
Speaker 8: so if you if you just shout out Netflix, you
Speaker 8: got to like just give honoraries like masters I said,
Speaker 8: Masters of None, Netflix, Blackmural, Orange, and New Black like
Speaker 8: things TV shows, right, they are, But I don't want
Speaker 8: that to be a part of my list.
Speaker 7: I just want to be Netflix and subgenres.
Speaker 1: All right, So go ahead, start with.
Speaker 7: Atl Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Agree with you?
Speaker 7: Game of Thrones?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 7: Yes? Walking Dead?
Speaker 1: Really? All right?
Speaker 2: Do me favorite? Sell me on the Walking Dead. That's
Speaker 2: that's a powerhouse show that I made a decision to
Speaker 2: not invest in even though America is obsessed with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I skipped that one too, and shout out to AMC.
Speaker 1: I still love you.
Speaker 8: Don't drop me yet, but if not, even just for
Speaker 8: the fall in love of What's My Girl? Deny because
Speaker 8: you know, Black Panther and evolution of her in the
Speaker 8: last ten years. But no, Walking Dead is like dope,
Speaker 8: especially if you're a Game of Thrones watcher. You like
Speaker 8: a long kind of show situation because you become loyal
Speaker 8: to the characters and you know, it's such an amazing
Speaker 8: ensemble of actors that intertwine and change around.
Speaker 7: That is just it's dope.
Speaker 8: It's like and it's like, of course, what would happen
Speaker 8: to us if all of a sudden it was a
Speaker 8: disease and the whole fucking you know world turned the
Speaker 8: zombies do they explain?
Speaker 6: Uh why they're in Georgia and all the zombies are white?
Speaker 8: There are there are black zombies.
Speaker 7: Bombies let me know, you know, I aught they just asky.
Speaker 6: That's a blombie.
Speaker 8: Black zombies and they have to be black zombies because
Speaker 8: they are black. Black like celebrities that are in the show,
Speaker 8: like the girl who now has her star Trek thing
Speaker 8: from Oh Dad, I forget her name.
Speaker 7: God, you better know you do know everything? Why it's sanak?
Speaker 7: Would you say? What is it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Tell tell her sinko? Wow, Yeah, that's me.
Speaker 1: Why I just go full on disrespectful? Do I go
Speaker 1: on the Normans. By the way, he is a cheese expert.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't know the motorcycles.
Speaker 2: We for some reason, we frequent the same cheese spot.
Speaker 6: You have the same cheesemonger.
Speaker 1: You have a cheese spot.
Speaker 7: You still eat cheese.
Speaker 1: No, we are not lactose intolerance.
Speaker 2: Shop at Murray's Cheese, by the way, And I give
Speaker 2: a lot of my h a lot of my friends
Speaker 2: who like fancy cheese stuff like you can send them.
Speaker 2: You can go to Murray's Cheese and they have glasses
Speaker 2: and teach you how to make molds and stuff that's fascinating.
Speaker 6: And so you've sent a gift to friends to go
Speaker 6: make cheese.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, Zara's almond okay, cheese expert. I put her
Speaker 2: in the Cheese of the Month club for a birthday
Speaker 2: once and she ate three months worth of cheese and
Speaker 2: about a week and.
Speaker 1: A half washed it down with a word of lemon juice.
Speaker 1: Exactly what?
Speaker 7: And you're sure you're not lactose intolerant. She's very rare,
Speaker 7: very rare.
Speaker 8: No, I'm not, because I'm just saying now you might
Speaker 8: not know because I bust shot tonight.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, TV.
Speaker 8: I also wanted Ryan Murphy should be mentioned in the
Speaker 8: twenty tens. I could not narrow down to just one
Speaker 8: show because it started with Lee and then it went
Speaker 8: to American Horror, and then it went to American Horror.
Speaker 3: Was the first couple of seasons I was on board,
Speaker 3: and then it just got progressively.
Speaker 7: Oh no, it's awesome. What you talking about.
Speaker 1: Now, here's the weird thing.
Speaker 2: I thought American Art Story and Walking Dead with the
Speaker 2: same joint.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Mary, you're missing so much in life.
Speaker 8: Like I'd rather you watch American horror stories before you
Speaker 8: get to Walking Dead, because that's a commitment.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. American Horror story is different
Speaker 7: every season.
Speaker 1: What say you? Why?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've never seen either.
Speaker 7: What do you have seen any Ryan Murphy program?
Speaker 6: I think I saw post. I want to sit down
Speaker 6: and watch that one. I I've been meaning to.
Speaker 2: I'm pose is the kind of the it's the burning Okay, okay, yeah?
Speaker 1: Do want not for best supporting reporter?
Speaker 7: Yes he did, Yes he did.
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I haven't. I I have been meaning to.
Speaker 6: But my where Amir apparently has all the time, watch
Speaker 6: all of the television, all of the records. You gainfully
Speaker 6: employed at the tonight.
Speaker 7: Show, the stabb is large.
Speaker 1: You know what I did for the first time in
Speaker 1: the twenty ten I watched The Wire.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you completed The Wire.
Speaker 1: I started and finished it. You even got past season two.
Speaker 1: It took me a while. But yeah, season two is
Speaker 1: hard to get by season two?
Speaker 7: It's is that the shipping? Yeah that's hard.
Speaker 6: No, I saw the first two seasons.
Speaker 1: I can't see you didn't get the three, four, and five.
Speaker 1: It gets better after season two.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was working, you know it's better.
Speaker 1: Oh dude. See.
Speaker 2: The thing is is that these shows I watch, I
Speaker 2: download on my phone or on my iPad and I
Speaker 2: watch on the plane or watch backstage at the show.
Speaker 1: So that's how I have time to do it.
Speaker 3: I watch on my which, by the way, life hack
Speaker 3: that I think I might have for anybody that wants
Speaker 3: to cut chords, just figure out what shows you watch
Speaker 3: regularly and by the season pass and then cancel your cable.
Speaker 1: That's hard to do.
Speaker 2: You know what I did this not this Christmas morning?
Speaker 2: You know what I did last week?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: So I because I have Apple TV. So once you
Speaker 2: have Apple TV, you don't have to also your cable
Speaker 2: and all your backup plans either. But yeah, I think
Speaker 2: I might have to do that because and that scares
Speaker 2: me to cancel my cable.
Speaker 3: Like I canceled cable then I got with was then
Speaker 3: Direct TV now and it's now a T T AT
Speaker 3: and T or whatever.
Speaker 7: They said another message about a channel they're.
Speaker 3: Losing that they keep losing channel and they have about
Speaker 3: you and wait and they keep they keep jacking up
Speaker 3: their prices too, like it was the whole uh selling
Speaker 3: point of that service was supposed to be it was
Speaker 3: supposed to be cheaper than regular cable. Now it's about
Speaker 3: the same damn price.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's all just coming. I mean, they're all just
Speaker 6: bundling it into new cable packages. Like that's I feel
Speaker 6: like that's the my conspiracy theory, not just mine, but like, okay,
Speaker 6: the cable model is a successful model. All of these bundlings,
Speaker 6: whether it's Disney Plus or you know, Apple TV, like
Speaker 6: they're just finding new ways to be cable, and so
Speaker 6: at some point they're going to offer you like Okay, yeah,
Speaker 6: we can give you all of these things, and then
Speaker 6: here are the special things we can give you the
Speaker 6: we can give you the Mandalorian or as I should
Speaker 6: be called, the Baby Yoda Show.
Speaker 7: Oh my god. I would like to also mention when
Speaker 7: they see us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't finish it. I couldn't finish it. Like
Speaker 3: I watched the I think the first.
Speaker 2: Part, episode four was hard, like twelve years of slave hard.
Speaker 2: She did Wait, you just did a legit spit take.
Speaker 1: No, it was hard to stomach.
Speaker 7: It was I just forgot about it.
Speaker 2: But that's weird. Wait, slight confession. I have no horses
Speaker 2: in the Disney race whatsoever. Well, here's the thing. It's
Speaker 2: like I missed whatever whatever Disney stuff came out when I.
Speaker 1: Was a kid.
Speaker 7: Marvel though, you know, finish.
Speaker 2: I wasn't all right. Like I didn't watch cartoons as
Speaker 2: a kid, so all the Marvel stuff I wasn't allowed
Speaker 2: to watch, you know.
Speaker 1: And you know the Hawaiian Punch story already all right
Speaker 1: you met because you know, there's a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: people that don't know that story.
Speaker 2: So basically, when I was three, there was a Hawaiian
Speaker 2: Punch commercial in which which I think was culturally racist,
Speaker 2: where like the Hawaiian native guy named Punchy, I will
Speaker 2: go up to the white tourist and say hey, how
Speaker 2: about a nice Hawaiian punch, and he'd be all annoying,
Speaker 2: like the sure, and then he beat the ship out
Speaker 2: of him and then sell you a fruit can of
Speaker 2: a wine.
Speaker 3: Please tell me you didn't beat the shut out of
Speaker 3: some random white person on the street.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: I did it to my mother so exactly.
Speaker 2: So then I said, hey, come here, ask me say
Speaker 2: shure when I asked you for the right.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then I said, Mom, I'm gonna say high about
Speaker 2: a nice and wine punch.
Speaker 1: And you will say two years later, right. And then.
Speaker 2: I cold clocked my mom and they were like, no
Speaker 2: more television for mirror. So that's I missed out on
Speaker 2: the Disney train, Like, I didn't see none of the
Speaker 2: cartoons and then didn't watch Marvel. I was up on
Speaker 2: the Muppets, but basically when Disney Plus came, I was like,
Speaker 2: that's a joking with me. And then I realized, never
Speaker 2: seen Bambi, never seen Dumbo, never seen Beauty and the Beast,
Speaker 2: never seen Lion King, never seen the.
Speaker 1: Song of the South. Wait, here's here's the deal.
Speaker 2: I've seen one Disney movie in my life and guess
Speaker 2: what it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the that's the one Disney movie that they
Speaker 1: do not want you to see. I want them to
Speaker 1: own their history. Disney.
Speaker 6: All of it was like Uncle Remus and all of
Speaker 6: the Brare Rabbit stories, and they do a mix of
Speaker 6: live action and animation, and so in nineteen six, yes,
Speaker 6: this Uncle Remus was an.
Speaker 2: Old black man who befriends with these white kids and
Speaker 2: told them stories of Brair Rabbit sometimes and they were
Speaker 2: like black faced.
Speaker 1: Has anybody actually seen it? Yeah, I've seen other than you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can.
Speaker 6: Find it on right here. I was gonna say it's
Speaker 6: on archived. I think it's archive dot orgon okay, and
Speaker 6: you can you can watch.
Speaker 2: I just found the when I when I last, there
Speaker 2: are a lot of are a lot of ticky tortures, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: more people need to see this.
Speaker 1: Last went to Disneyland and it's a small world.
Speaker 2: You could see where they like put a new paint
Speaker 2: job where Brare Rabbit and Brare Bunny and Uncle.
Speaker 6: Splash Mountain is Splash Mountain is tied to all of
Speaker 6: that stuff, I believe.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so they just got rid of.
Speaker 6: They got rid of Braer Rabbit.
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 6: The interesting thing about Bray Rabbit is like all of
Speaker 6: those stories are like it's just like African folklore that
Speaker 6: got co opted by this white guy who then sold
Speaker 6: it as like books that you know, sold it as
Speaker 6: a book of like, oh, these were stories that are
Speaker 6: our old Negro told us, right, but they're all based
Speaker 6: like Braer Rabbit is supposed to be like when you
Speaker 6: didn't when you were on a plantation and you wanted
Speaker 6: to tell a story about how you maybe got one
Speaker 6: over on the overseer or the slave master. Brare Rabbit
Speaker 6: was the stand in for black people, and Breer Fox
Speaker 6: and Brad Bear were plantation masters and overseers, and all
Speaker 6: these stories are rooted in telling yeah, which it's like
Speaker 6: and so there's this very weird thing of like, oh
Speaker 6: there is something that's amazing about these stories. It's just
Speaker 6: a shame that it got co opted.
Speaker 1: You know something. It's really like rabbit.
Speaker 6: It stands for is like sure for briar, you know, brother, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: You know something.
Speaker 2: I was doing some research on. All right, this is
Speaker 2: going to sound weird on step and Fetch It. That's
Speaker 2: not weird whom Well, okay, because the thing is is
Speaker 2: that most people know that step and Fetch it is
Speaker 2: sort of associated with like coonery and.
Speaker 6: Sort of she was very much associated with it.
Speaker 2: You know, not many people know that Step and Fetch
Speaker 2: it funded one of the first uh Black Shakespearean companies
Speaker 2: that Paul Robertson and Harry Belafonte came from and subsequently
Speaker 2: sitting in poty eight as well. And if you sort
Speaker 2: of look at the history of slang, it's almost slang
Speaker 2: was crucial to survival. I mean, it's a deep rabbit
Speaker 2: hole because not many people know that. Sure, laughing was
Speaker 2: illegal on the plantations. That's where barrel laughs came from.
Speaker 3: We gotta get Amalia in here, yes we do, which
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you your recommendation letter.
Speaker 2: Yes, uh shout out to Amalia who taught us that.
Speaker 2: The idea of the term barrel laughs came from that
Speaker 2: laughing was allowed on anything was Sassin getting angry, crying,
Speaker 2: talking back, laughing, talking, which is weird because the only
Speaker 2: thing that was allowed was singing. And so you know,
Speaker 2: that's all the coded wading water and all that stuff
Speaker 2: to run away and escape. But people don't know is
Speaker 2: that slaves built a barrel and put water in it
Speaker 2: so that if you felt frustrated or angry or wanted
Speaker 2: to or go out your mind, you would have to
Speaker 2: dunk your head in the water and that would suppress
Speaker 2: the sound and you wouldn't get lashes for as sassing
Speaker 2: back or talking back. So slang, to some port, slang
Speaker 2: was basically a way to survive, like humor slang was
Speaker 2: for code talk, but humor was used as a weapon
Speaker 2: to sort of kind of put the put people at ease,
Speaker 2: the overseas at ease from killing you or slashing. So
Speaker 2: it's almost like I see Step and Fetch It in
Speaker 2: almost as different a different light now that I've realized
Speaker 2: that he might have been revolutionary.
Speaker 6: Well in some way, Yeah, you could argue that he
Speaker 6: is a trickster in that he's presenting as one way
Speaker 6: to have a different to have a different outcome. If
Speaker 6: he's presenting as subservient to white people but then using
Speaker 6: his resources to help fund things that push that pushed
Speaker 6: for the advancement of black people, Yeah, that's sort of
Speaker 6: a trickster. That's sort of a trickster role. So yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean, are you pitching this to me as the
Speaker 6: HBO documentary that you want to make Step and Fetch It.
Speaker 8: The trickster given away money a mirror you shud stop,
Speaker 8: he already did it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Also I don't work for HBO anymore, so I can't
Speaker 6: make it.
Speaker 1: Well, let's do it.
Speaker 6: What I mean, I have other things I'd like to make.
Speaker 6: But sure, but there But but what you're saying though,
Speaker 6: I mean, there's even something interesting about that, Like thinking
Speaker 6: about how like Bill Cosby produced or gave money to
Speaker 6: Sweet Sweetbacks. Uh, like he helped fund that and helped
Speaker 6: give Melvin Van Peebles the money he needed to make
Speaker 6: that movie. And yet at the same time was like
Speaker 6: at you know, four facing was mister wholesome. Yeah, backwards
Speaker 6: facing a different a different dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very hard to let him go now that
Speaker 2: I discovered that reruns are on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Oh I still watch reruns. I yeah.
Speaker 3: But I mean there's there's there are you know, other
Speaker 3: members of that family of the Huxtables.
Speaker 2: Exactly, that's true. There are there are other members of
Speaker 2: the Huxtables. All right, So what else was your your
Speaker 2: TV list? This is Are you sad?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 2: I'm on Season two? I'm way behind. Is it as
Speaker 2: sad as everyone?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 8: No, everything's not sad. A lot of things are joyful
Speaker 8: and some things are joyfully sad.
Speaker 7: You know, it's like, but.
Speaker 1: You faithfully watch this is us.
Speaker 8: Fucking right man ever since the first season dedicated man,
Speaker 8: really yeah, because the writing.
Speaker 7: Is like amazing.
Speaker 8: Sterling Brown comes from there, Like, hello, you watched the
Speaker 8: evolution of him for the last ten years.
Speaker 7: He's fucking dope. Even in Predators.
Speaker 1: Predators, Yeah, he was the bad guy.
Speaker 6: I pronounced it, Predators.
Speaker 5: You're gonna fit right in around here.
Speaker 6: Oh good, Okay, And.
Speaker 8: Just in case you're getting bored with me, can I
Speaker 8: just do one more last final TV mentioned sure anything
Speaker 8: that Kenya Bears touched.
Speaker 3: I had to because what you don't. I had to
Speaker 3: skip Grownish because I remember college. I do not want
Speaker 3: to deal with that ship again.
Speaker 7: And it's like dirty different World.
Speaker 1: I like it, Like that's why I skipped your Wife,
Speaker 1: Different World. I don't want to deal with that.
Speaker 8: Somebody's pregnant this season? What what?
Speaker 2: No more spoilers because I'm still watching that. I love Grownish.
Speaker 2: I think I love Grownish a little too much, Like,
Speaker 2: like I just watched that. It was like, oh, you
Speaker 2: dumb motherfucker, you're talking at the screen. Yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: So listen. I was shouting at the screen, dope, I
Speaker 2: love I love that, all.
Speaker 1: Right, So what's your what's your five joints?
Speaker 3: It started in the two thousands in the two thousands,
Speaker 3: but most of it was run in the twenty ten, so.
Speaker 1: Parks and Recreation. Of course. Yes, it might be one
Speaker 1: of my favorite television shows of all time. I told
Speaker 1: you it was the New Tank. Yeah, it's probably one
Speaker 1: of the most perfect TV shows ever. I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Number two and only the first season True Detective. Oh,
Speaker 1: of course you're right.
Speaker 3: I didn't see. I didn't see after that weird ass
Speaker 3: second season.
Speaker 1: I didn't go back. I didn't go back. Number three
Speaker 1: The Leftovers.
Speaker 7: God, yes, hit Me to anything that Regina King was.
Speaker 1: She did a great job in that hit Me, hit
Speaker 1: Me to the Left. I've heard of The Leftover. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: What I loved about it is is that it didn't
Speaker 3: really give the audience satisfying answers, and I just that's
Speaker 3: what I loved most about it, because everybody was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like a Spike Lee movie, Like you know, everybody's
Speaker 3: watching the ship and you're like, oh, yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 3: find out what happened We're gonna find out why all
Speaker 3: these people are left behind blah blahlah blah blah, and
Speaker 3: you don't really get the answer to that. And I
Speaker 3: think that's great that that that that answer was left
Speaker 3: kind of kind of kind of air and.
Speaker 8: The concept alone, because you don't get different concept like that. Yeah, people,
Speaker 8: just ten percent of the population just drops out like.
Speaker 3: You don't, you don't, you don't. You don't get all
Speaker 3: the answers in that show. And that's one of the
Speaker 3: things I loved most about it. So you know, my my,
Speaker 3: my imagination gets to fill in some of the blinks.
Speaker 1: Okay, what was that two? Or three? That's three?
Speaker 3: Okay three? Uh number four, mister robot. Yeah, I'm way
Speaker 3: behind on this this last season. Just gonna binge a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of them because that's the show that I
Speaker 3: hate waiting week the week to watch.
Speaker 8: Why that seemed like you would like that show, mister Robot.
Speaker 8: You don't even have time for that money either.
Speaker 6: I feel like I watched the first season and then
Speaker 6: I didn't pick up on the I didn't pick up
Speaker 6: on this second season.
Speaker 1: It didn't entice you or you, just like I don't
Speaker 1: have time to.
Speaker 6: I feel like it was maybe a mix of things.
Speaker 6: I think one of the challenges with television in this
Speaker 6: past decade. There's something that's very nice about shows not
Speaker 6: having to be sort of boxed into like a twenty
Speaker 6: two episode season, And I do like that. I feel
Speaker 6: like twenty two episodes oftentimes not every show needs that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: But the challenge is the television, the US television sort
Speaker 6: of market hasn't fully built itself to accommodate those shorter
Speaker 6: season shows. So if I watched ten episodes of something,
Speaker 6: then it's about tracking when is the thing coming back?
Speaker 6: And when it comes back?
Speaker 1: Is that the thing? Is that the thing that I
Speaker 1: want to re engage with. Is it going to be
Speaker 1: on the same night? Yeah? Is it gonna be the
Speaker 1: same night? Is it?
Speaker 6: And And so I feel like that's one of those
Speaker 6: things that I don't think American television has done very
Speaker 6: well as far as trying to figure out, like, Okay,
Speaker 6: do we just make like a fall season and a
Speaker 6: spring season and a summer season and we all as
Speaker 6: networks and streaming services kind of agree to that. No,
Speaker 6: And so I think that's where it's it's tough because
Speaker 6: like the one thing they have agreed to is okay. Well,
Speaker 6: when September hits, you got new shows coming out and
Speaker 6: there's all that excitement. But then yeah, if some show
Speaker 6: pops up in October, it's kind of like, oh wait
Speaker 6: what and and don't forget.
Speaker 8: In the twenty tens, we discovered the mid season what
Speaker 8: the fuck? Like the mid season finales? The mid what
Speaker 8: Power did? And they split it out and have And I.
Speaker 1: Just realized I forgot another show?
Speaker 7: Was Power?
Speaker 1: No? Well damn can I have like three more? Go ahead?
Speaker 1: All right? Scandals?
Speaker 7: Yeah, keep it real.
Speaker 1: Scandal.
Speaker 3: That that was I guess you could say that was
Speaker 3: my guilty pleasure. That was my guilty pleasure for the decade.
Speaker 2: But I actually thought Scandal was good. It started out good,
Speaker 2: it ended Yeah, it went a.
Speaker 1: Little too long.
Speaker 7: I got to get Away with Murder.
Speaker 1: But it was one of those shows that I had
Speaker 1: to I had to step off Wait, what train? What joints?
Speaker 3: Did you step off the train? On How to get
Speaker 3: Away with Murder? I stopped during the first season. Me too, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I stepped off the train. Yeah, it just I couldn't
Speaker 3: get into it. Like the characters, I didn't give a
Speaker 3: fuck about them.
Speaker 1: I wantdn't care what happened loyalty?
Speaker 3: I wanted to why? Oh wait wait, I got I
Speaker 3: got two more. I got two more. Y'all gonna think
Speaker 3: I'm crazy for this one. I watch everything. So Doctor pimple.
Speaker 7: Popper, I've heard, dude, this one.
Speaker 2: Dude, she was in the hallway a month ago and
Speaker 2: Tariq and our makeup lady lost their minds the Asian
Speaker 2: lady or whatever.
Speaker 1: It is, doctor Lee. So people, do you know what
Speaker 1: this is?
Speaker 7: I do, I can't watch it.
Speaker 1: Do you know what this is? Steve television show of
Speaker 1: a sexy woman.
Speaker 6: They sell it's just no dermatologies. Let me let me
Speaker 6: have to put your male games on this.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, Doctor pimple Popper is one
Speaker 3: of the most feel good television shows you'll ever watch
Speaker 3: your entire life. Yes, Like she's out here changing people's lives.
Speaker 3: Like you watch, you know the backstory before you know,
Speaker 3: the patient comes in and you know these people are
Speaker 3: having like serious problems. You know, they're like, you know,
Speaker 3: I've got this big thing on my neck that you know,
Speaker 3: it's really affecting. I can't do such and such and such,
Speaker 3: you know, normal ship. And then they get this ship
Speaker 3: taken off their neck and they're just you know, they're
Speaker 3: crying tears of joys because they can I.
Speaker 6: Can stalk a mirror.
Speaker 2: They do slow motion.
Speaker 7: You see, isn't it just batched?
Speaker 2: I've never I never watched no.
Speaker 3: Like you see, like she's either you know, she'll sometimes
Speaker 3: you know, pop blackheads, which is some of them, like
Speaker 3: the most satisfying.
Speaker 7: Ship to watch, because I do like the pops.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then like you know, sometimes she you know,
Speaker 3: she's removing cys from people or you know, has.
Speaker 2: She ever met a pimple she couldn't pop because.
Speaker 3: I feel I feel like there has been a couple
Speaker 3: of them, but like they weren't exactly pimples.
Speaker 6: All right, So Steve, Steve Rick, I can't help you.
Speaker 6: You're just going to have to kill yourself. Steve, I'll
Speaker 6: leave the rooms.
Speaker 2: Steve knows Maria at work now my job, there's a
Speaker 2: woman that does our makeup and glam and like she
Speaker 2: lives for popping pimples, which I was taught in the beginning.
Speaker 1: Never away.
Speaker 7: There's a way you want to do it, yes, with
Speaker 7: the needle.
Speaker 3: Well, you like there's all the ship that she you know,
Speaker 3: you just got to watch the ship. It's just fascinating, Like, do.
Speaker 1: You eat food when you watch this thing? Okay, let
Speaker 1: me tell you. Don't eat cottage cheese, don't eat oatmeal,
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes.
Speaker 3: Don't eat mashed potatoes, and and and buffalo.
Speaker 1: Do not plan to handle raw chicken afterwards?
Speaker 7: Why does chicken?
Speaker 3: Because she also removes like these things called la pomas,
Speaker 3: which are like basically like fat deposits under the skin,
Speaker 3: and when she pulls them out, they basically look like
Speaker 3: raw chicken, like a raw chicken breast.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jesus and Mary are they?
Speaker 2: Okay, here's my confession.
Speaker 1: Both.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's my confession. Since the move to Showtime, I've
Speaker 2: been very slow.
Speaker 1: To keep up. Really, I actually feel like the show
Speaker 1: is better now that it's on Showtime.
Speaker 2: All right, well, I just missed the daily updates. That yeah,
Speaker 2: I miss the daily updates too. I like it when
Speaker 2: it was like talk soup.
Speaker 3: But you know, the the level of guests they have
Speaker 3: now are higher. Like just just just seeing Jesus and
Speaker 3: Marylyn in a room with Elizabeth Warren's cool. That's just
Speaker 3: weird as fuck, you know, well, not weird as fuck,
Speaker 3: it's just crazy as fuck.
Speaker 1: You know or or who else did they have? They have?
Speaker 3: They have, they have a lot of the guests are
Speaker 3: a lot better, okay, now that they're on showtime.
Speaker 1: So what.
Speaker 2: Are you a Are you a TV connoisseur or you're
Speaker 2: one of these Brooklyn cats that don't own a TV.
Speaker 6: I do own a television. I do watch television, enjoy television.
Speaker 6: I feel like on some level because I work in television,
Speaker 6: I try to watch television when I can. But yeah,
Speaker 6: as far as shows, So here's the thing. You texted me,
Speaker 6: and you were like, just pick a show for the decade,
Speaker 6: and so I didn't necessarily see it as what my
Speaker 6: favorite shows were. I was looking like, what is a
Speaker 6: show that to me the best? Defined You're so smart
Speaker 6: the decade?
Speaker 7: I was right about you.
Speaker 6: But no, this was just she was vague, but.
Speaker 7: You remixed that in your mind.
Speaker 1: Like you we went, we took the easy way out.
Speaker 6: No, I mean there are a lot of like Atlanta
Speaker 6: is a great show. I think, you know, there are
Speaker 6: shows where I think about, oh, for what they're doing
Speaker 6: as far as the culture and storytelling, the idea. Insecure, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I was gonna say Insecure Atlanta, Like, there are shows
Speaker 6: that are pushing what uh you know what television can
Speaker 6: be for for both black creators and black viewers and
Speaker 6: hopefully you.
Speaker 8: Know is really black and black and I am loving it.
Speaker 8: I gotta say.
Speaker 6: But if I was, but if I was gonna uh yes,
Speaker 6: bl audience, but if thank you we finally we finally
Speaker 6: come together on something.
Speaker 1: What did you say, audience, Yeah, blodience.
Speaker 6: Isn't that what you said?
Speaker 5: I said, blombies. I was talking about the black zombies.
Speaker 3: Black audience just recoined a new phrase, turn off Steve
Speaker 3: on the headphone station.
Speaker 6: No, I'm just gonna turn Steve down. So I was
Speaker 6: thinking of shows that defined the decade. And so to me,
Speaker 6: a show that defined the decade to me.
Speaker 1: Was Breaking Yes, Yes, Yes.
Speaker 6: And the reason I feel like it defined the decade
Speaker 6: is because there were a lot of shows in the
Speaker 6: last ten years and not even say the last fifteen
Speaker 6: years that all kind of had a similar thing, which was, like,
Speaker 6: suburban white guys who aren't happy just in their lives,
Speaker 6: so let's give them some nefarious shit to do. So
Speaker 6: you look at like the Sopranos and it's like, oh,
Speaker 6: here's a story about like suburban dad who works in construction,
Speaker 6: but it's like, oh no, that's not enough. Let's make
Speaker 6: him a mob boss.
Speaker 3: I mean, if we really want to keep it funky,
Speaker 3: breaking bad. It was just a gender flip version of weeds.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 6: But I feel like as a genre, this the last
Speaker 6: decade has been about like all these beta white people
Speaker 6: trying to feel special like there's nothing wrong, Like being
Speaker 6: a science teacher is like a cool job, it's an
Speaker 6: amazing thing. And it's like, oh no, let's make him
Speaker 6: a villain. And it just seemed like, Oh, let's celebrate
Speaker 6: the worst in these care in these people. And let's
Speaker 6: not like like there was a time when TV was like, oh,
Speaker 6: it's the white shadow and it's like Dragnet where cops
Speaker 6: actually like you know, talk to people as opposed to
Speaker 6: like cops who shoot up, like you know, it's just like.
Speaker 1: As opposed to cops.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well but it's but it is this weird thing
Speaker 6: where I feel like this has been the decade of villainy,
Speaker 6: and like, let's make regular people like, let's let's normalize
Speaker 6: villainy in this way that it's not just the worst
Speaker 6: of the worst who can be villains?
Speaker 1: A science teacher can be a villain? Is it really
Speaker 1: normalizing villainy.
Speaker 6: I think that it is. I think that I like,
Speaker 6: I was, I was watching college basketball the other day
Speaker 6: and there was a commercial for a lawnmower and it
Speaker 6: was a lawnmower called bad Boy Lawnmowers bad Boy, and
Speaker 6: there's just something about like and it's.
Speaker 1: Bad Boy Records in ninety four bad Boy.
Speaker 6: But I think that was like slang wise, it it
Speaker 6: meant it different. I think on some level, I'm not.
Speaker 6: I think it was different in a way that it
Speaker 6: was still counter culture in a way that was like
Speaker 6: when you look at like these commercials, it's like, oh,
Speaker 6: here's some person in their khaki pants and their lawnmower,
Speaker 6: and it's like, I'm a bad mode right right with my.
Speaker 3: Lawnmower, like HOMEI in office space, driving down the street,
Speaker 3: listening to ghetto boys.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but not to not to mention like hot topics
Speaker 8: of like the decades or whatever.
Speaker 7: But y'aller of the twenty tens.
Speaker 8: But that goes back to like the Esquire cover, Remember
Speaker 8: that the Esquire cover with the American what's it called
Speaker 8: an American boy with the.
Speaker 7: White woman cover in danger and stuff. It all goes back.
Speaker 7: Never mind y'all don't remember this cover right here like
Speaker 7: this American.
Speaker 8: Ship.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 7: Now my point is going to people who are listening
Speaker 7: to what.
Speaker 1: I'm talking anyway, No, I don't remember remember this as a.
Speaker 7: This was I'm sorry. Here you go.
Speaker 1: Into the microphone, please.
Speaker 8: Twenty eighteen and the cover set an American boy, What
Speaker 8: is like to grow up? White, middle class and a
Speaker 8: male and an era of social media, school shootings, toxic maxiculinity,
Speaker 8: hashtag me too in a divided country.
Speaker 7: This is like a very controversial talk.
Speaker 1: About social media tonight that was like you don't remember this?
Speaker 6: I saw I remember that. Yeah, but it is a
Speaker 6: weird thing when you look at television and it's like
Speaker 6: it's kind of surprising that with all of the sort
Speaker 6: of villainy that has been presented, that there hasn't yet
Speaker 6: been a show of like of a school shooter like that.
Speaker 6: Like you think about, like what was then like a comedy,
Speaker 6: Like I'm thinking about what.
Speaker 7: Was the show crime Story something like that?
Speaker 6: You mean, well, but what was the show that Claire
Speaker 6: was it? Claire Danes?
Speaker 1: No, like that show?
Speaker 6: Like thinking about like a show like that where it's like, okay,
Speaker 6: what if we take a terrorist, and we normalize this
Speaker 6: white terrorist and we make them a flawed character that
Speaker 6: you should feel love for, and it just feels like, oh, okay, Dexter,
Speaker 6: Let's take a serial killer and make them this flawed
Speaker 6: character that you should feel love for and breaking bad like.
Speaker 1: All these show. Isn't that kind of a trope that's
Speaker 1: by writers since day one?
Speaker 7: Brody became a billionaire.
Speaker 8: I was just saying, Brody from that show is just interesting,
Speaker 8: that guy who you they hear hear the clar Daine show,
Speaker 8: Brody became a billionaire.
Speaker 6: No, that's billions.
Speaker 1: That's completely unrelated.
Speaker 7: Funny, but let me have my joy.
Speaker 2: I forgot what I was trying to say now because
Speaker 2: because of that, she's smoking her joy.
Speaker 6: No, but you were saying you were talking about because
Speaker 6: I was, I was saying.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: These villains, Yeah, it's it's it's kind of like a
Speaker 3: trope that writers have kind of used from day one,
Speaker 3: but by putting people in disparate situations.
Speaker 6: Sure, but I don't think it has been as focused
Speaker 6: on humanizing villains in the way that it to that
Speaker 6: it has today.
Speaker 8: I mean another one, Lucifer, I mean scarface Lucifer, that
Speaker 8: was a good show too.
Speaker 7: I did watch Guilty.
Speaker 6: Place Scarface, okay, name five more like I feel like
Speaker 6: so many other movies Scarface. To me, Scarface stands out
Speaker 6: on some level because it's uniqueness of that time. I
Speaker 6: feel like so many of the other films, Like, I mean.
Speaker 3: That that could just be that could just be the
Speaker 3: uh what's the word I'm looking for?
Speaker 1: Well? Does the wire count or.
Speaker 6: Could count in that too? I mean, because you talk
Speaker 6: about Scarface, but I think about like, okay, like something
Speaker 6: like The Taking Appellem one two three, Like it is
Speaker 6: about these guys who are trying to rob a train,
Speaker 6: but it's really more about you know, Jerry Stiller and
Speaker 6: Walter Mathow and these people who are trying to who
Speaker 6: have been terrorized by this person.
Speaker 3: Let's be real, New Jack City, we were all kind
Speaker 3: of rooting for Nino Brown.
Speaker 7: Sure, sometimes they write the villain more interesting, but.
Speaker 2: I think point til Christopher Williams hands got fucked.
Speaker 3: Up, pretty motherfucker never liked you anyway.
Speaker 6: But I also think there's something different when it comes
Speaker 6: to like movies and television that were created with black leads,
Speaker 6: because there's there's also the part of it where it's
Speaker 6: like if you go back and you think about like
Speaker 6: the Cosby Show, what made the Cosby Show so unique
Speaker 6: for its time was like, Okay, here is a middle
Speaker 6: class black family where.
Speaker 1: They organized people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it was like it went the other way
Speaker 6: where it was like they can be doctors and they
Speaker 6: can be lawyers as because because everything else had been
Speaker 6: oh no, you're crooks, your criminals like you know you
Speaker 6: like And so I think there's something that for so
Speaker 6: many movies for black people, and I think even thinking
Speaker 6: about like bad Boy or something like that, so much
Speaker 6: of black culture had been placed as you all are
Speaker 6: the villains in white society. You agree with me, right, Steve?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you are.
Speaker 6: Sign he whispered it and that sugar Steve, you don't
Speaker 6: reach him at.
Speaker 2: You can print that. There's there's fighting where Steve, Steve,
Speaker 2: what did you watch?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry?
Speaker 5: Do you.
Speaker 1: Breaking bad? Breaking bad? To? What else? I mean?
Speaker 6: So, yeah, that was with that idea of like, I
Speaker 6: think the last decade has been the decade of celebrating
Speaker 6: white villainy.
Speaker 7: But what did you laugh at this year?
Speaker 1: But what did I enjoy?
Speaker 7: What did you enjoy?
Speaker 6: There are definitely things I enjoyed. I said, Atlanta. I
Speaker 6: enjoyed Atlanta. I mean, I still enjoy Atlanta because they'll
Speaker 6: be making new episodes. I enjoy Insecure. I've been enjoying Watchmen.
Speaker 7: Yes, talk about it, I don't.
Speaker 1: We talked.
Speaker 7: Listen, y'all. It is so and who knew that they
Speaker 7: were going to start off.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I didn't read the book series, but when
Speaker 8: they started off so black with black, but.
Speaker 6: There's nothing in the book. There's nothing in the book
Speaker 6: that is that. And honestly, I never gave a shit
Speaker 6: about the book because I didn't feel like, I like,
Speaker 6: it was just like none. I didn't have any connection
Speaker 6: to it and this and it just felt like okay,
Speaker 6: I like, I've heard tons of dudes to tell me
Speaker 6: like Watchman is the best thing, and it was just like,
Speaker 6: it's fine, Like I get it. It's flawed Superman and
Speaker 6: flawd Batman beginning.
Speaker 7: It's the foundation, all right.
Speaker 1: So if I'm gonna watch that, do I need to
Speaker 1: watch the movie first? No?
Speaker 8: No, I will say this why it came absolutely funky.
Speaker 8: You do need a sort of a guy like you
Speaker 8: should google who the characters?
Speaker 6: Just read a Wikipedia on Watchman, Like, honestly, if anyone
Speaker 6: was like, hey, should I read the graphic novel? I
Speaker 6: would just say, read the Wikipedia like like, that's just
Speaker 6: that's honestly.
Speaker 8: Revew of employing Lou Gossip Junior Like, and he's fucking dope.
Speaker 6: He yes, yeah, you know that's what's up Virginia.
Speaker 7: That Regina King touched in this decade is gold. That's it.
Speaker 6: Also talked about theovers.
Speaker 1: Damon Lindelof who.
Speaker 7: Anything that he was also in You Won? Does she?
Speaker 1: Does she want anything for American Crime? Yes?
Speaker 7: She did? She want Tommy.
Speaker 6: She's Meryl Street Lindelof.
Speaker 7: Is he.
Speaker 6: Damonlyn Uh? Did the leftovers? He also did lost.
Speaker 7: I'm glad I could commit to one y.
Speaker 1: I just I just started.
Speaker 2: I was going to skip the Watchman Don't No No,
Speaker 2: And then when I saw the Tulsa story and that,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, and then.
Speaker 7: That's how I got you get your parents to get
Speaker 7: in on it.
Speaker 1: And then when they sent me a note.
Speaker 7: Taken to the Museum Blacksonian.
Speaker 2: Wait, this, Mike count is my This shouldn't count as
Speaker 2: my humble brag, but I got note that episode three
Speaker 2: was inspired from my discovery of my ancestry.
Speaker 1: You didn't see that, did you?
Speaker 7: I saw episode three, but I'm trying to.
Speaker 2: Email me and basically said that I wrote this episode
Speaker 2: kind of inspired by your If you look up Questlove
Speaker 2: and Watchman. It basically the director breaks down that my
Speaker 2: episode discovery of my Benen ancestry. Yeah, because on the
Speaker 2: Last Ship would be season four, episode nine of Finding
Speaker 2: Your Roots with Henry Lewis Gates Junior, who.
Speaker 8: Was the Secretary of State in this alternate universe where
Speaker 8: Robert Redford is the president.
Speaker 1: What I wonder, Yeah, I wonder that's why.
Speaker 6: I wonder if that's why they made him the put
Speaker 6: him in the episode, because they were like, you know what,
Speaker 6: he's a stronger actor than a mirror in this tribute.
Speaker 7: I mean, he did give a mirror the information.
Speaker 1: Let's give him a credit. He did. He did great work.
Speaker 1: Is a corpse in that Law and Order episode.
Speaker 7: So yeah, but f y, I just a cheater.
Speaker 8: For everybody who has never hasn't watched Watchmen or confused,
Speaker 8: you should know. I just read this that it's based
Speaker 8: on if America. Damn was it that we lost the
Speaker 8: Vietnam and we won Vietnam and it became a state?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 6: Yes? Yeah? Yeah, yeah? Can I do another show that
Speaker 6: I like.
Speaker 5: Hurry, yeah, black Villain, I'm running out of time over there.
Speaker 6: Oh, it looks like we're out of time.
Speaker 1: Sorry.
Speaker 6: See, I guess you'll have to tell us your favorite
Speaker 6: shows on the next episode of Yeah, it'll be in
Speaker 6: the it'll be on the extras, which we'll have left
Speaker 6: the room and you can record those. I mentioned this
Speaker 6: show to a mirror recently, and I really like this show.
Speaker 6: It's an animated show called Craig of the Creek.
Speaker 1: Yes, introduce me to this show.
Speaker 6: Yeah, let me rate that now. And it's on Cartoon
Speaker 6: Network and it is no, it's regular cartoon network. But
Speaker 6: it's all about this little boy named Craig who hangs
Speaker 6: out in a creek with all like all the it's
Speaker 6: in the neighborhood, all hang out in this creek and
Speaker 6: they have their whole, like their own like sort of
Speaker 6: laws of governance and their whole in an economy, and
Speaker 6: it is like in like a nice way, and it
Speaker 6: is the most diverse cast of children.
Speaker 1: And then like Craig is a black kid.
Speaker 6: Craig is a black kid. It's like the whole thing.
Speaker 6: But they're all these like subtle, like subtle jokes like
Speaker 6: there's it's a very funny gift you can find, but
Speaker 6: there's a clip you can find of Craig and his
Speaker 6: dad are trying to have a barbecue and they Craig
Speaker 6: tries to help and some stuff catches on fire, and
Speaker 6: so he and his dad are trying to put it
Speaker 6: out and it's going horribly wrong. And there's a moment
Speaker 6: where Craig's older brother shows up with his girlfriend who's white,
Speaker 6: and she walks in and she's like, hey, I brought
Speaker 6: potato salad and the hose just splashes her.
Speaker 9: And they're just like all these jokes that are like
Speaker 9: clearly like above children's heads, but are so like perfect
Speaker 9: and wonderful.
Speaker 1: And it's like when I watch Animaniacs now as an adult. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the subtle, all the adult humor that just went
Speaker 1: over my head.
Speaker 6: But it's such a good show. And Craig of the
Speaker 6: Creek they did a Thanksgivings. How many seasons I think
Speaker 6: they've done.
Speaker 1: Two seasons, sixty episodes.

Speaker 1: Yeah you was that your that? What the end? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I watched a whole lot of television. Ship.
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna pick five because I literally looked
Speaker 2: down the list and I was like, Yo.
Speaker 1: I watch a lot of television. I could get so much.
Speaker 2: I could go back to twenty one jobs if I
Speaker 2: stopped watching television.
Speaker 7: I need a sta.
Speaker 2: I'll say that, yo, my favorite regular Network show.
Speaker 1: What was The Good Wife? Skipped it? Think about it?

Speaker 1: I loved What's your Name?
Speaker 6: Christine?
Speaker 2: No, We'll heard too, but uh, I enjoyed The Good
Speaker 2: Wife because I loved archiep and Jabi's character in that show,
Speaker 2: and also.
Speaker 5: Especially Julia though yeah, well.
Speaker 1: I love the show.
Speaker 2: We didn't mention last week with John Oliver, we mentioned
Speaker 2: Masters and none shout out.
Speaker 3: Wait hold on last week with John Oliver, it's just
Speaker 3: been too much, like not not him, just just been
Speaker 3: too much going on that that.
Speaker 1: Having him, you know, reiterate where reiterate everything. It's just
Speaker 1: been kind of just a lot.
Speaker 2: But they also like like the op into stories that
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but that should be news.
Speaker 1: But we're so preoccupied with right right right, the politicals.
Speaker 3: I'm just at the point right now where I'm just
Speaker 3: fatigued with everything and I just want everybody to shut.
Speaker 1: The up and go away.
Speaker 2: Great contributions, Dog, I miss my boy aunt. Uh. Parts
Speaker 2: of Known was also a mine any parts of I
Speaker 2: love drunk History.
Speaker 6: And you did drunk History.
Speaker 1: Can we move on from television. Wait, I'm just saying that.
Speaker 2: All right, I'll just go down the list. I actually
Speaker 2: kind of like Marvelous this is didn't watch it, even
Speaker 2: though it was short lived. I love tre may Too.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch that. I didn't watch it. I missed
Speaker 1: all of that shit. Like I didn't have HBO for
Speaker 1: most of the decade. So that's David Simon's for me.
Speaker 8: I know, that's one of them shows you're like, you're
Speaker 8: embarrassed if you're kind of artsy that you didn't watch it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So speaking of embarrassed there like slight Uh.
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't watch most of the sopranos. So
Speaker 2: what I didn't have HBO? Oh well, okay.
Speaker 6: Were those the Harlem years? No?
Speaker 3: Those those were the bead style years. Those were the
Speaker 3: Bill is still trying to be in the record industry
Speaker 3: of years. So Bill has absolutely no money, you know,
Speaker 3: you know what?
Speaker 1: All right, here's the deal.
Speaker 2: I emotionally invested. Now, it's weird that you think you're
Speaker 2: and I agree with you to a point that Breaking
Speaker 2: Bad probably did sum up the decade. But when I
Speaker 2: was thinking of what really summed up the decade for us,
Speaker 2: my assessment was Girls mother fucker.
Speaker 7: How dare you?
Speaker 2: I didn't say I liked girls.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, that was.
Speaker 1: See how you're reacting right now? That is what? No no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no listen question. Listen. You know I'm with you.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, I'm not. But I'm saying that.
Speaker 2: I'm saying that also, like police brutality was the thing
Speaker 2: in twenty ten, I'm thinking that show, dude, I'm telling you.
Speaker 6: Girls the first season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate watch the first season. Well wait, here's
Speaker 1: the thing. Who was the which which uh? Which website.
Speaker 2: Would which website would analyze each episode and the snarkiest listen?
Speaker 3: They could be one of many. It was either a
Speaker 3: vy avy club probably, Yeah, that was one of the ones.
Speaker 3: I probably read.
Speaker 2: Their Their snark was so awesome that I actually had
Speaker 2: to watch the show and read the snark and they
Speaker 2: were episode by the episode. Would never no, no, no, You're
Speaker 2: you're missing the whole point. I I feel as though
Speaker 2: that show represented what happened in the last ten years.
Speaker 1: Damn was it really that shitty?
Speaker 6: But I would but I would say I agree with you,
Speaker 6: and then where I would I see you and I
Speaker 6: would raise you? Is keeping up with the Kardashian Hey
Speaker 6: as another basically like Girls, with shittier writing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and more black people.
Speaker 6: You're right, more yeah, more black people owned by white people.
Speaker 8: Oh damn own god, damn Lamar.
Speaker 1: Here's here's what I really got.
Speaker 2: Going in my my favorite The only part I genuinely
Speaker 2: liked about Girls was the cold open because for me, uh, we.
Speaker 7: Have to talk about when they go there.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this as an endoor. I'm saying this
Speaker 2: as an observation of what the city last ten years
Speaker 2: we've been living, which you're not listening to me.
Speaker 7: But he's walking dead for that analogy.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean as a person who watched the show.
Speaker 6: That's what the Kardashians call all the black people on
Speaker 6: their show.
Speaker 5: When you said girls, I thought you meant actual girls.
Speaker 1: I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't know, No, Lena Dunham, No, I just felt that,
Speaker 2: you know, just with with gentrification and sort of uh,
Speaker 2: I guess you would.
Speaker 1: Call it entitlement.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you're just again not listening to me when
Speaker 2: I tell you that I'm saying, I'm saying that, yes,
Speaker 2: that this show probably best describes what the last ten
Speaker 2: years have been at least from my observation.
Speaker 6: Show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I tried to get into that. I don't want
Speaker 3: to say it was bad. I just couldn't high maintenance on.
Speaker 7: HBO The Couch on to what's the stand up show?
Speaker 7: Oh Boy?
Speaker 1: That had.
Speaker 6: Crashing crashing.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know what, I'm really angry that they got
Speaker 2: rid of Detroiters. But I've never brey laughed harder at
Speaker 2: a show than Detroits. And I really wish you introduced
Speaker 2: me to Oh Boy too, Sam, or to Tim at
Speaker 2: Tim at s n L back when.
Speaker 7: He was Sam beat. Oh my god, he's a sleeper,
Speaker 7: like he's really talented.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tim, Yeah, Tim, Tim's Tim's great.
Speaker 1: Tim.
Speaker 6: And I watched Tyson Chandler break his leg in front
Speaker 6: of us at a Knicks game at UH and then
Speaker 6: the next day the back pages were pictures of Tyson
Speaker 6: Chandler like holding his legs on the court, and all
Speaker 6: you see is me and Tim just both like.
Speaker 2: Look, none of us mentioned handmate's till either, which you know,
Speaker 2: there's so much you know we can I.
Speaker 1: Ask you serious question.
Speaker 5: You guys ever watched stuff besides shows like sports or
Speaker 5: c SPAN.

Speaker 5: hole of news and MSNBC and you know, Rachel Matta,
Speaker 5: I'm watching all these Trump related shows. I understand why
Speaker 5: why people watch them or don't watch them at this point,
Speaker 5: but like that's why I started to watch c SPAN
Speaker 5: more just for.
Speaker 7: You hold you.
Speaker 5: It seemed almost it seems more normal than watching the news.
Speaker 7: Just because there's a straight feet yeah.
Speaker 5: And it's just yeah, there is no no Commentaryllo, And
Speaker 5: did you.
Speaker 6: Ever watch PBS News Hour? No, give that a shot.

Speaker 6: I had an honorable mention, my dark horse honorable mention
Speaker 6: is uh nineteen ninety nine by Joey Badass. Just to
Speaker 6: that thought, it was like an interesting see, like an
Speaker 6: interesting album seeing somebody who is this current generation of
Speaker 6: rapper embrace a sound and a style that harkens back
Speaker 6: to hip hop of like my time, And so it
Speaker 6: felt like it was a nice sort of bridge between
Speaker 6: between the two. And also it was just very thoughtful.
Speaker 3: I can appreciate what Jolly Bass is doing, but I
Speaker 3: much preferred him as a as a cast member of
Speaker 3: Mister Robot.
Speaker 1: He was a mister robot. Wow, Okay, have.
Speaker 6: You ever seen his his rendition of when Doves Cry?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Yes, no, I haven't you. I'm scared to see that.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see Joey bad. I don't want to see because I
Speaker 1: have a negative if that's what you call it.
Speaker 6: He's like, it's he's sort of taking the song and
Speaker 6: reinterpret it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't even to do that, and.
Speaker 6: It's it's very like, it's very creative an interesting because
Speaker 6: you've got like a live band behind him, and there's
Speaker 6: there there's like a whole thing on. There's this Australian
Speaker 6: radio thing where they do it's called like a version.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I'm familiar and so yeah, they have like
Speaker 6: an artist do one of their songs and then they
Speaker 6: also do a lot of the song that they that
Speaker 6: they like or I've listened to a lot of those
Speaker 6: and a lot of times I find them quite regrettable,
Speaker 6: and this sounds like one of them that would be
Speaker 6: quite regretted.
Speaker 1: Even worse still, the.
Speaker 2: Same song, Steve, Yeah, your favorite album of this decade?
Speaker 1: Nothing, m h.
Speaker 2: Not even album, not even Elvis Costello's Wake Up Ghosts.
Speaker 6: Or not even James Poyser's intro to why It's the
Speaker 6: Next Problem areas.
Speaker 8: Wow, wow, look at that, shout out James.
Speaker 2: I gotta say that this this uh decade, I've listened
Speaker 2: to more comedy albums than I've had records. Like I'll
Speaker 2: listen to our stream records and you know, I'll get
Speaker 2: records for DJ gigs.
Speaker 1: But won't listen to them.
Speaker 2: But as far as like from beginning to end, comedy
Speaker 2: albums were probably the album that I consume the most
Speaker 2: this decade, And I.
Speaker 1: Kind of have a tie.
Speaker 2: Uh, how'd you know taking Na Tarros Live where she
Speaker 2: she does a bit where seven hours before she just
Speaker 2: got diagnosed with cancer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and so.
Speaker 2: It it's probably one of the greatest recorded moments. Like
Speaker 2: to hear her in almost real time, I'm like process
Speaker 2: being handed this death sentence in front of an audience
Speaker 2: and still trying to be funny like the whole you
Speaker 2: know what, what's the rule why of what comedy is?
Speaker 2: Like tragedy plus tragedy time equal yeah plus time comedy,
Speaker 2: Like just.
Speaker 1: Agree no, is it true?
Speaker 6: That's true?
Speaker 2: Timeless tragedy, Yeah, timeless tragedy equals comedy and so I
Speaker 2: felt it was that. However, probably Yeah, the album that.
Speaker 1: Had me jaw.
Speaker 2: Dropped, Like is this still allowed Jamar Neighbors America's Nigga was.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's like we were listening to it like it was
Speaker 2: the the a New Tribe call Quest record, Like it
Speaker 2: was like two in the morning, Me Neil Brennan, Dave
Speaker 2: Chappelle sitting in the car listen, sitting to Jamar Neighbors
Speaker 2: like jaw dropped, and it's it's just a mixtape, but
Speaker 2: to me, like and I feel like it's the last
Speaker 2: bit of comedy that got created before the Me Too movement,
Speaker 2: like none of none of the contents and don't take
Speaker 2: my endorsement as you know, shitting on UH women or
Speaker 2: whatever the movement or progress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything that he says. Do you know Jamar Neighbors
Speaker 1: at all? What? I don't know, if it's kind of down.
Speaker 6: I know who Jamar is, I don't. I don't think
Speaker 6: we've ever actually met, uh face to face. But I
Speaker 6: know Jerrod and we know a lot of people in common,
Speaker 6: but I don't think he and I have ever connected.
Speaker 2: I just literally thought that everything that was taboo and
Speaker 2: couldn't be said on record was done with and over
Speaker 2: with and we were just like beyond it all, like
Speaker 2: everything was normalized. But yeah, like he found a way
Speaker 2: to fuck us up even more.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out to putting that on my list.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jamar Neighbors. Yeah, it's it's a mixtape. You
Speaker 2: can find it on SoundCloud. And because I love you
Speaker 2: so much, like you just give another album.
Speaker 8: Really, okay, I put don't judge me, but I put
Speaker 8: Jah for you know what I put four four four?
Speaker 7: Really I did, and you know I don't do that.
Speaker 7: I don't ride for him, but I did love four
Speaker 7: for four. It was the black Has I ever heard him?
Speaker 7: I kind of loved it.
Speaker 2: I don't all right, I might go to hell for this.
Speaker 1: We still want Jay on the show, so don't burn
Speaker 1: any bridges.
Speaker 7: No, I did enough of that one.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe Lemonade or four four four.
Speaker 7: I did have Lemonade on.
Speaker 1: I don't believe him.
Speaker 7: Oh you think the Lemonade was a dramatic production. I
Speaker 7: mean it could be. I ain't sleeping on it.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that they know that we like to
Speaker 2: be on our own heads and sort of assume what
Speaker 2: we think it's about I just I can't fathom.
Speaker 1: I can't fathom a world and win. These are the
Speaker 1: two most watched people ever, Like, how is he going
Speaker 1: to find?
Speaker 8: But it doesn't even matter anymore to me if Eliminade
Speaker 8: is real. It doesn't matter if even if it was
Speaker 8: a dramatic production, it was worthy.
Speaker 1: Can I ask you something? Has anyone heard?
Speaker 2: Because you know, both Beyonce albums are in everyone's decade
Speaker 2: in the and you know the first.
Speaker 1: Album, Yeah, I feel like that.
Speaker 2: I feel like the first album probably did more for
Speaker 2: the business where now more than radio Heads album which
Speaker 2: they allowed you to determine how much you want to
Speaker 2: pay for it. You know, the idea of like releasing
Speaker 2: how she threw it out like that started, So that's
Speaker 2: more revolutionary.
Speaker 1: He's still that from Prince so.
Speaker 3: Yes prints every successful black Well the black album was
Speaker 3: supposed to be done that way, Oh damn, like it
Speaker 3: was it was. It wasn't even supposed to have his
Speaker 3: name attached to It was supposed to be released as
Speaker 3: something by somebody.
Speaker 1: Oh damn. I never knew that.
Speaker 2: But have you heard any of those albums without its
Speaker 2: video counterparts?
Speaker 1: Yes? I've never seen the videos I've never seen the
Speaker 1: I've only heard, Yeah, I've only consume those records as videos.
Speaker 7: And not in the railer skating like.
Speaker 3: Like blow is the only song that that really kind
Speaker 3: of resonated with me from just only hearing the songs
Speaker 3: and not seeing the videos.
Speaker 1: The wrest of them was just kind of say that
Speaker 1: that all creased me out a little bit.
Speaker 3: I mean it is kind of creepy because yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but I don't know, mostly it just it just he
Speaker 3: reminds me of like some kind of ship, you know,
Speaker 3: you might have roll skated to back.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So John, say, so, who is your person of the decade?
Speaker 2: Your artist of the decade?
Speaker 7: Damn, we both do that.
Speaker 1: That was well you said you decade.
Speaker 7: Well it was Anderson, And I feel like.
Speaker 3: Defen the decade of the decade because more than yeah,
Speaker 3: I understand can't come onto my radar until like twenty
Speaker 3: four in the twenty fourte right.
Speaker 8: But I'm saying, like those people that you named, they're
Speaker 8: also of the previous decades. So if I was going
Speaker 8: to say anybody else, it will be Kendrick Lamar, right,
Speaker 8: But I just knew everybody else was gonna say Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 8: So I just went with Anderson because I think he's
Speaker 8: gonna be timeless. I think he's going to be one
Speaker 8: of those artists that will last.
Speaker 7: He will last, he.
Speaker 8: Will be a legend in his own right. I hope so,
Speaker 8: I think so Ahold.
Speaker 6: But also just because you had mentioned, like Kanye, there's
Speaker 6: a part of it that I wonder, like the music
Speaker 6: he's put out in the last decade, is that the
Speaker 6: music that we're really gonna remember now for no.
Speaker 1: No, I hope not. I for his is no. I
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think you're right. That's what I
Speaker 1: never remember him now. I think you're right.
Speaker 2: My preference, No, it's you got to separate your preference
Speaker 2: for what facts are. Like you get mad at me
Speaker 2: for choosing girls. Isn't saying that I chose girls, But.
Speaker 1: It's like a fact.
Speaker 2: And I feel as though Twisted Dark Fantasy was the
Speaker 2: Mason Dixon line that separated through the wire soulful sample.
Speaker 3: Kanye Old Kanye from overblown talking out of my ask
Speaker 3: Kanye all the time, you know.
Speaker 7: And not to do a plug on you.
Speaker 8: But like then, why do songs that shook on Jesus
Speaker 8: walks like Jesus Walks will.
Speaker 7: Stand the test of time, will it not?
Speaker 1: That was that was that was pre dark twisted Fantasy.
Speaker 6: But that's but that's I feel like that's kind of
Speaker 6: the question I'm asking is we will define Kanye in
Speaker 6: a way, what will define him? But also like I
Speaker 6: think Pablo defines Kanye. Really that's I you know what
Speaker 6: it's I'm saying, like thirty years from now, Like like
Speaker 6: when you think about musicians, like you think about somebody
Speaker 6: like Marvin Gay and it's like, Okay, nobody thinks about
Speaker 6: the albums of the eighties, Like they just think about
Speaker 6: like the early sixties. Else what's going on, Like it
Speaker 6: kind of stops at a certain point, And those were
Speaker 6: the most successful albums for him. I don't know as
Speaker 6: far as like numbers sold.
Speaker 2: Where the difference between Marvin and Kanye is is the
Speaker 2: prevalence of celebrity in society and cocaine and well, I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure there was pretty about the same amount of
Speaker 2: cocaine on both sides.
Speaker 1: That's just my.
Speaker 2: Marvin and whatever pills Kanye City.
Speaker 3: I'm sure Kanye was sniffing because a lot of that
Speaker 3: ship sounds like like cocaine music, like Dark Fantasy.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a cocaine but anyway, I digress.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just the level of celebrity that's Like,
Speaker 3: you know, if Marvin had been as much in the
Speaker 3: press as Kanye in the eighties, it might have been
Speaker 3: in the same story, you know, social media.
Speaker 2: Okay, if you're asking, like when you look at a
Speaker 2: person's uh, what's the word the cannon? Yeah, like we see, like, okay,
Speaker 2: well we will take Stevie from music on my mind
Speaker 2: up until maybe hotter than July, like that's our cannon
Speaker 2: for him or whatever I feel. No, No, I mean
Speaker 2: Stevie ad jams afterwards. So for me, I would say
Speaker 2: that Kanye's cannon will probably be from college dropout to
Speaker 2: Twisted Fantasy. Twisted Fantasy, however, okay, maybe think of Sly
Speaker 2: Jesus Sly had from a whole new thing to like
Speaker 2: to too, I mean whole new thing too. There's a
Speaker 2: ride going on, but then we'll take there's a ride
Speaker 2: going on, fresh and small talk, and then anything after
Speaker 2: that is just bullshit. So I think that the train
Speaker 2: stopped riding for him after Yay the album.
Speaker 3: I think I really think it was after Twist Fantasy,
Speaker 3: because you.
Speaker 2: Don't think Jesus happened. And I know you like eases,
Speaker 2: but you don't like it. But it's it's been critically
Speaker 2: acclaimed and millennials swear by it.
Speaker 1: Do they really swear that?
Speaker 7: Millennials has been an interesting decade with you?
Speaker 1: No like? All right, So has anyone seen or heard
Speaker 1: of Waves? The movie? Y'all?
Speaker 2: Need sterling Kate Brown, h you must see Waves. It's
Speaker 2: so it's the previous so under sells it that it's
Speaker 2: necessary because I feel like that's the movie that, uh,
Speaker 2: what's the god? I don't I don't want to slander
Speaker 2: a film, but I feel like Waves is the film
Speaker 2: that will floor you in the way that queen and.
Speaker 1: Want to floor you.
Speaker 2: You must see Waves, I think I feel like that
Speaker 2: will be this year's Moonlight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, black indie joint, you must see it, blendy joint.
Speaker 1: But they use they use I am a God in
Speaker 1: such a way from me. That's a song on Jesus.
Speaker 1: Remember you didn't listen to it more than once? You're right,
Speaker 1: because neither did that.
Speaker 8: After I saw the Kardashians dancing a new Slave, I
Speaker 8: was done like that.
Speaker 3: That ship just did not beg for more than one
Speaker 3: listen because it was just so abrasive and and not enjoyable.
Speaker 2: I saw Jesus the way that I saw Old Daddy
Speaker 2: Bastards Nigga Please album.
Speaker 3: As a question to help someone, or something you listen
Speaker 3: to and then you enjoy, and then you feel bad
Speaker 3: for listening to because you realize that the person behind
Speaker 3: it needs some fucking help, but nobody around them wants
Speaker 3: to give me any help because they're all getting paid.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's exactly right. Yeah, yeah, exactly so. And
Speaker 2: that's why I say Pablo is really that record.
Speaker 1: Like Jesus, what I will say about Pablo, like what
Speaker 1: I thought was the true cry for help record.
Speaker 3: What I found what I what I found interesting about
Speaker 3: Pablo was not the music, was the fact that he
Speaker 3: was willing to to edit it in real time, like
Speaker 3: as after it. Like, I thought that was interesting. I
Speaker 3: thought that was an interesting approach. Like I don't know
Speaker 3: if it was intentional, but I thought that was definitely
Speaker 3: an interesting way to approach, you know, releasing an album
Speaker 3: as something that was you know, once it's out in
Speaker 3: the market, it's not necessarily finished. You can still keep
Speaker 3: working on it. I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 1: It was I.
Speaker 8: Can't either Howard University and gonna talk about and we
Speaker 8: ain't gonna get caught like the rest of them.
Speaker 2: I can't talk about something else to everybody about.
Speaker 1: The one who passed. But let me let me you
Speaker 1: can't talk about this decade without talking about Conny. He can't.
Speaker 1: They can't. Like again, it's not about your preferences. This
Speaker 1: is about what happened. It wouldn't be thorough. I have
Speaker 1: a theory.
Speaker 2: I have a theory about Yeah that I shared before,
Speaker 2: which is basically, I think he had a plan to
Speaker 2: troll list and everything. You know, he put the Instagram
Speaker 2: out with his hat on I'm gonna do this, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do that, and he thought he was gonna be
Speaker 2: slick with it.
Speaker 1: He didn't.
Speaker 2: He didn't figure in that he was going to get
Speaker 2: schooled on TMZ Live.
Speaker 1: He definitely.
Speaker 7: A struggled son.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Van, he did for what.
Speaker 7: Because he got into it with the white boy at you.
Speaker 1: Hear about that.
Speaker 2: I don't want to m Z like that, but so yeah,
Speaker 2: Van school and Kanye like that. Kanye was totally unprepared
Speaker 2: for this ship. And Kanye also wasn't prepared for Donald
Speaker 2: Glover to host SNL that Saturday and released This is
Speaker 2: America on Sunday, which basically just turned all that poopy
Speaker 2: scoop conversation and just washed it out. And then suddenly
Speaker 2: this is America became the conversation.
Speaker 1: Of it all sounds the same. To me, it all
Speaker 1: sounded like poopy scoop it was.
Speaker 8: Remember when we discovered that, like Donald Glover, don't be
Speaker 8: saying in his music I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: But this was like the decade you discovered I did,
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I heard about feelings. Did we not remember this?
Speaker 7: Like this is America? What the fuck is he saying?
Speaker 7: It's the video like you remember? And then it was
Speaker 7: the other.
Speaker 1: Ship on there.
Speaker 7: You really got us, y'all.
Speaker 3: Atlanta is great but childish bullshit.
Speaker 7: I love Kawhi.
Speaker 6: That was my ship.
Speaker 10: Okay, So movies, ladies, Jo, did you see any movies?
Speaker 8: Like, yeah, saw all of them and I just did
Speaker 8: get Come on, just get out Black Panther.
Speaker 1: I still haven't seen Black Panther yet.
Speaker 3: You have not seen I haven't seen Black Panther yet,
Speaker 3: but remember it also took me like ten years to
Speaker 3: see The Wire. So but what movie resonated with?
Speaker 2: You get Black Panthers?
Speaker 7: Get Out, Black Panther brid.
Speaker 2: Okay, I wanted to keep it, keep it short and sustinct, sugar, Steve.
Speaker 7: Im, Sorry, I don't know what that snort.
Speaker 1: That pornhook movie you watched last night? Doesn't that count?
Speaker 7: They do?
Speaker 1: From the whole decade? Wow? I mean, I got a list.
Speaker 1: I can go while you think about it. Yeah, why
Speaker 1: don't you keep going?
Speaker 3: So my list the movies I enjoyed from the last
Speaker 3: ten years include titles like bridesmaid as as like you mentioned,
Speaker 3: Attack the Block I thought was really good. What was
Speaker 3: that John Boyega was in it?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, yeah, it was really good. It was a
Speaker 2: UK film. This is the End I thought was really
Speaker 2: fucking excellent, A movie that I had forgotten about until
Speaker 2: it actually came out.
Speaker 1: Boyhood, Yes, yeah.
Speaker 7: The concept. Do you remember that, Steve?
Speaker 5: Yes, I remember that good concept.
Speaker 3: Two movies that somebody I saw on the internet recently
Speaker 3: said that we're really good but they never really feel
Speaker 3: the need to watch again Birdman and Whiplash. Really I
Speaker 3: enjoyed both films, but I really don't feel the need
Speaker 3: to watch them again. Like I really enjoyed them, Like
Speaker 3: I thought they were excellent fucking films, but I don't
Speaker 3: think I'll ever watch either.
Speaker 1: One of them again.
Speaker 7: Michael Keaton was really cool.
Speaker 3: I'm always a big Michael k I'm a big Michael
Speaker 3: Keaton fan, Like he's still my Batman as far as
Speaker 3: I'm concerned. Oh Ship, I'm just gonna keep going. John Wick,
Speaker 3: which one the first one I saw? Haven't seen the
Speaker 3: count which one was common in he was in the
Speaker 3: second one. Okay, I've saw the third one. I've only
Speaker 3: seen the first one. Okay, okay, So john Wick is good. Yeah,

Speaker 3: watch whether whether they're eating good or not. Top five
Speaker 3: I thought was fucking excellent. Chris Rock's movie. Yes, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: Someone was great. I thought that was good.
Speaker 1: Get Out of Course and uh ex Makina.
Speaker 2: I used to call it sex machine, matter of fact,
Speaker 2: matter of fact.
Speaker 1: Whenever they were like like four Gas members came on.
Speaker 3: To promote it, we would just do sex machine, sex machine.
Speaker 1: Like an x Markana.
Speaker 7: That's a real title.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's look at it. It's a really good movie.
Speaker 3: I think it came out like twenty eleven.

Speaker 6: control a Lady Robot.
Speaker 1: Came out in twenty fourteen. I'm jumping in line. I'm
Speaker 1: jumping in line.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed, I enjoyed Going Girl. And I will also
Speaker 2: say that.
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry did a great I like Tyler Perry as
Speaker 1: an actor. Yeah, you know, I felt that.
Speaker 7: He wasn't great cross with No.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that as an I want to see
Speaker 2: more of Tyler Perry being directed by other people, by
Speaker 2: other people.
Speaker 1: Yes, I hope I don't go to hell for that.
Speaker 2: You know what, For all the talk of the irishman wants,
Speaker 2: I went, you gotta see at the movie theater, like
Speaker 2: you owe it to yourself to see the Swan. I
Speaker 2: see it as a Swan song. So it's almost like
Speaker 2: putting thriller on your I feel like it's going to
Speaker 2: be this one. First of all, de Niro don't want
Speaker 2: to act no more, for he's yeah, he's speaking.
Speaker 1: Like I'm retiring all this stuff. Damn.
Speaker 2: But this is I mean, this is really the last
Speaker 2: time you're gonna get those mob film right de Niro?
Speaker 1: Right? Right? I got you.
Speaker 2: So I can't even conclude that. So that said, I
Speaker 2: feel bad. I really liked Wolf of Wall Street.
Speaker 1: Oh it was good. I enjoyed it. Yeah. Yeah. Have
Speaker 1: you all heard of the Lobster? I saw it, but
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I saw it when I was on

Speaker 6: greatest hits type of a thing. It didn't you know what,
Speaker 6: I don't know. It didn't.
Speaker 1: I like.
Speaker 2: I missed the Adam Sandler train of the beginning, like
Speaker 2: the early nineties stuff.

Speaker 1: gonna laugh at you every day, all that stuff. I
Speaker 1: knew none of that stuff.

Speaker 8: got it, you.
Speaker 2: Gotta you gotta you gotta feel it to heal it.
Speaker 2: You gotta fail some more. Take it from a comedian,
Speaker 2: not mesh thinking, but the one that's that's where to get.
Speaker 1: Out of here right now?
Speaker 6: What why I was promised three hours?
Speaker 1: Why? What was you even?
Speaker 6: Once we wrap it up, I'm sticking around, Okay, me
Speaker 6: and James, we're gonna order a pizza.
Speaker 1: All right. What was your tragedy of a decade?
Speaker 6: Well, I never even got to do a movie.
Speaker 1: Oh what's your movie? Run it back?
Speaker 6: Let's go to chapter seventeen of this episode. The movie
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, in keeping with what defined this decade,
Speaker 6: and I'm not saying this as a movie that I
Speaker 6: think was like a great movie for the decade. It's
Speaker 6: just what defines a decade. It was Suicide Squad. And
Speaker 6: the reason I say that is because I feel like
Speaker 6: in another twenty to thirty years, I feel like we
Speaker 6: will look at this decade and what it did for
Speaker 6: superhero movies in a way that we look at how
Speaker 6: like Westerns had like their heyday and eventually the Westerns
Speaker 6: bubble kind of like burst.
Speaker 1: And then we all look at them like not another
Speaker 1: fucking Western.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I feel like Suicide Squad was that movie
Speaker 6: where we kind of gleamed the cube on superhero movies
Speaker 6: and it was like and not just that we did that,
Speaker 6: but it now shifted to like, Okay, now let's focus
Speaker 6: on villains, right, and now we have the jokervies like Joker,
Speaker 6: which is, you know, gonna be.
Speaker 7: The really smart so.
Speaker 6: You do not like villains, well, I just feel like
Speaker 6: it's a weird thing. Like Joker to me just feels
Speaker 6: like porn for in cells, and it feels like these
Speaker 6: like it feels like there's a part of this that
Speaker 6: it's like these movies are just like for all the
Speaker 6: kind of for all yeah, for all those disaffected bros.
Speaker 6: Like this is all just like the things that they
Speaker 6: jerk off to before they go and be shitty in
Speaker 6: the world. And so that's so I so I kind
Speaker 6: of see all of these and it feels like, oh,
Speaker 6: Suicide Squad was like, okay, yeah, we can make a
Speaker 6: superhero movie about anything, and then it kind of went
Speaker 6: this way of like, Okay, yeah, now let's make Joker.
Speaker 1: Why not? Sure?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think old Girls probably gonna get a movie too, Joker's.
Speaker 6: Girl Harley Quinn. I think they're making a movie, yeah,
Speaker 6: or no, they already. Yeah, I think they've already. Actually
Speaker 6: there's posters out for it. But yeah, like in theory,
Speaker 6: these are the monster of these comic books, like they're murderers,
Speaker 6: and it's like, but let's hear let's hear them out
Speaker 6: like that is it is very much the Trump's like
Speaker 6: there's good people on both sides.
Speaker 3: I mean, we we have, you know, the entire horror
Speaker 3: genre which is basically built off of villains.
Speaker 7: Sure, yeah, but we don't love them though. Like suicide.
Speaker 7: Squat was like, oh it is another side.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well maybe we just need to Maybe we just
Speaker 3: need to, you know, take a good look at you know,
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 2: We're our thought process and how we're looking at these things.
Speaker 7: Why you ask him everything?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, hey, did you watch movie Steve?
Speaker 5: Now I'm gonna go to tragedies for one hundred Yeah,
Speaker 5: the school shootings, the mass shootings is the tragedies. Uh,
Speaker 5: the biggest tragedy for me this decade, this year and
Speaker 5: all that why we didn't.
Speaker 7: Really get yours? Sorry because you did the movie.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did the movie thing. I don't really have
Speaker 6: a humble brag.
Speaker 5: Yeah, sorry, that's really really really humble not to have
Speaker 5: one at all.
Speaker 6: That's true. So I guess that's my humble brag.
Speaker 1: Cam.
Speaker 7: Yeah, go ahead, I mean give us your humble brags.
Speaker 1: Is he capable?
Speaker 2: I will say that my tragedy was no doubt, I
Speaker 2: consider Prince Stein more fucked up than Trump being president?
Speaker 1: Really? Wow, I actually think I think, I think.
Speaker 2: I think Trump being president was probably more important than
Speaker 2: Obama being president. Why because we needed to. I feel
Speaker 2: like with Obama being president, well, it was just a
Speaker 2: thing of we just swept under the We just swept
Speaker 2: ship under the rug like she was on the doors.
Speaker 1: We swept under the rug before.
Speaker 2: Now with Trump, it's it's almost undeniable image.
Speaker 3: What you can deny anything if you if you try
Speaker 3: hard enough. No, I'm it's diamond and silk.
