Speaker 1 (00:02):
Calls media. All right, First things first, the Endling, the
beautiful Endling, as in the first round of the Grammys.
If you are in a some sort of voting member
of the Grammy Association, happened to be listening to this
cast one in there in the Poetry Spoken Word Album
of the Year section for Your Boy the rest of Us.

(00:23):
October twenty second, me and Matt al Saski will be
at the a Legion Theater doing the album live along
with my beautiful spouse refer to her by her prefix,
Doctor Almazaragoza Petti will be reading from her book Chin
Gunna and then uh Cat simply Cat, one of the
deppest poets I've ever known in my life, will be

(00:46):
doing some poetry. So tickets are in the links in
the bios and in the show notes the podcasts Man
Do to Waiians do Bill Cosby Impressions. All right. They
say journalism is the first draft of history. I say
history can only be understood through poetry. Were y'all writing

(01:07):
any of this stuff down? And y'all know the ancient
that Gypsums didn't call themselves ancient, right, They was just
them right? You think they knew their way in life
was slipping away. I mean, you're right, how could they? Okay?
So apparently Ezra Klein and tanahasse Quotes have had some

(01:32):
sort of interview that has generated a ton of discussion
and commentary. I haven't seen the interview, but I planned to.
I also know that California has passed five new immigration
laws that are actually pretty good that I'm probably gonna
pot about next week. I just ain't finished that project.

(01:53):
The President reached out to national guards in other states
to try to send them to states that are just
on the list of people he don't like Chicago out
there looking like la just running ice agents out of
their neighborhoods. But also I saw the Damon Dash interview
on the Breakfast Club, and I do definitely have thoughts

(02:17):
on that, But those gotta wait, because today is October seventh,
when I'm recording this, which is the three year anniversary
of this round of murderous, debacle genocide that's happening in Palestine.
I ain't gonna hold you. I can't keep up y'all

(02:38):
taping in with me, So listen, y'all. Colin Kaepernick paid
for a second oddutopsy about that little boy in Mississippi

(03:02):
in college that was ruled a suicide and apparently hung himself.
A little black boy in Mississippi hung himself according to
the official coroners report, which was already proven false because
the first time they said they found the boy in

(03:25):
his room, and then they found a boy hanging, so
we don't know which one it is. Now there's reports
about a blunt force trauma. I have not done any
due diligence. Let me tell you why I haven't done
any due diligence, because the Dodgers are in the playoffs.
But the issue with the Dodgers right now is the
CEO are the main holder of the Dodgers. Mark Walter

(03:48):
apparently is tied in with this investment firm called Giggenheim Investments,
who apparently benefits a immensely off of private prisons, private
prisons that are apparently being used to hold immigrants as

(04:10):
in aiding in ice. Listen, haven't proven any of that
stuff either, because all I can find is connections via
Reddit and some sort of dot biz website. So I
don't know if I'm supposed to boycott the Dodgers, But
if I'm supposed to boycott the Dodgers. We still ain't
going to Target because we still boycotten Target. But you

(04:32):
act like Walmart's any better either way. I need a
pack of socks and some black T shirts. I also
need a pair of Dickies. They're starting to wear out.
I wear the California tuxedo. Obviously not to be confused
with the Canadian tuxedo, but the California tuxedo would be

(04:53):
Chucks and or Vans, Dickies, a white T shirt and
or flannel. This is your boy. I would love to
just run into one of these stores and just buy
a pack of that. But I'm probably gonna have to
do is go down says er Chabas right here and
some of these niney nine cent stores that aren't ninety
nine cent stores, they just hood stores to try to

(05:14):
get a pack up socks and black T shirts. The
problem is then black T shirt's gonna fall apart in
twenty two minutes. I grew up going to the Santi Ali,
the garment district out here in Los Angeles, where we
would do all of our clothing shopping. The issue is
half of them people ain't there because of ice raids,

(05:34):
So I can't even go to the hood spots because
these people too afraid to go outside. Oh yes, the
military left LA, but the Ice raids is still happening.
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are beefing again. I have
no idea why. Somehow Cardi B crashed out with Ice
Spic's manager over some sort of line that apparently she

(05:57):
must have said in a song. I'm not even sure
the yns know who either of these women are. Do
you know what a yn is? That's what I thought.
The greatest news source for most people really in this
generation is Kai Sannat, who is a streamer who truly
gets millions of streams. He just hit his one million

(06:20):
subscribers and had Oh. I don't know Lebron James, who
apparently has a second big announcement come in which probably
means he's retiring. Maybe this is his last season. I
don't know. All I know is apparently preseason started last
week and I did not catch a single basketball game.
You know why because basketball is on seven different streamers

(06:41):
right now. You gotta have the NBA TV packet, YouTube
plus Amazon Prime, Peacock and out here. You have to
have Spectrum if you're gonna watch the Lakers it is
impossible to just watch a basketball game anymore. But I

(07:04):
don't have time for watching those basketball games right now,
because I'm really interested to hear what Greta Thornberg got
to say. Thornberg, I don't even know how to say
her name. You see what I see? The point I'm
getting at her on the flotilla who which you may
or may not know, Nelson Mandela's grandson, was on that
flotilla where they use her, They try to use her

(07:26):
as a piece of propaganda, where they apparently they done,
dragged her hair, they wrapped the flag around her, made
her kiss her, she get her kissed the flag. She
got out of that mug saying, don't nobody care about
how horrible we was treated? The fact is we walking
into a genocide and y'all won't let us bring her food.
Now she catching flak by some people because you know,
she come from money, and they like, yeah, it must

(07:47):
be nice for you to be doing these performative activism
stunts while you obviously don't have to work for a living,
so you get to do this stuff, to which I think, actually,
I feel like that is a good use of generational wealth.
You don't have to work, so gonna put your body
on the line. It sounds like a win win To me?
Is that not what we want for people who have

(08:10):
generational wealth, who are benefiting from Like the Bible would say,
you are drinking from wells you did not dig. So
to me, it seems very good that she outside trying
to make life better for others because she could just
chill out. You know who I think is also set
for life, the grandson of Nelson Mandela. He owned that

(08:30):
thing too. But none of it matters though, because apparently
you trying to bring food to them people is messing
up the peace talks because uh oh, mister Gandhi himself,
Donald Trump believe he up for his Nobel Peace Prize
and he done worked out a deal. And in me
talking about this deal, I have yet to podcast about

(08:53):
Sudan and the Congo. Last week was Ethiopia's Thanksgiving celebration.
I wanted to teach y'all about that. Did nobody talk
about the coffee prices? Yet? The tariffs is gone? Crazy
farmers is unionizing, and my daughter wants to take a

(09:14):
k pop dance class. What I'm trying to say is
I ain't gonna hold you. I feel just like you do.
I can't keep up with all this shit in blackness.
The biggest gospel group of this time is this group
called Maverick City Music. And Maverick City Music used to

(09:37):
be black as hell. It's getting less and less black
every day. Chandler Moore was one of the lead singers
on there, and this other girl named Naomi right, Naomi
leaving Chandler a few years ago, was out there dipping
his stick into every whitcher thing. Did the work. The
boy did the work, y'all, did his repentance, did his therapy.

(10:01):
I know the boy did the therapy because I know
some of the people on his support team. The boy
did the work, got his life together. But Naomi leaving
Maverick City now, so I'm just like, listen, we can't
even have gospel music. I know, I always drag the
white evangelicals, but then I always tell y'all, it's not

(10:22):
like Black Church ain't got his problems. Case in point,
my nigga, which we need to set aside because Trump
trying to bring back conversion therapy. What in the world?
And you got two episodes to catch up on for
all your favorite shows in podcasts, and I got the
nerve to ask you to buy some tickets to come

(10:45):
see me do some poetry. What I'm trying to say
is I feel you. Okay, we all in this together.
Ain't no pithy answer at the end of this one.
I'm just saying I get it. It's a lot, y'all.
You can only do what you can do. You can

(11:05):
only care about what you could care about. I'm gonna
give you a little little old folk wisdom. Okay. See,
we come from we come from church that had that
had a motherboard, you know, the ushers, right, so they
would say stuff like you are called to where your

(11:26):
feet are. And sometimes I have to remind myself that
you want me to take it. Say it. Let's churchy,
Just be present. You can only be where you are,
So listen to everybody, whether it's changing. Life is really
in crisis for a lot of people, especially if you

(11:48):
care like I care, which I assume you do, which
is why you listen to this show. Listen, dog. You
can do what you can do. Okay, you can do
what you can do. Stay tapped in with me. Oh

(12:09):
and Lebron's announcement was a Hennessy ad
