Speaker 7 (04:38):
Alabama's own Yeah man, so out of Alabama. I'm sorry
about ot of drum Alabama College, y'all.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
This year white folks sorr.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
They ride horses to the polls, and they talked about
gay people and slavery.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
They bring their guns.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, just to a speech, Just bring the gun. I'm
Roy Moore. I got a gun just in case a pistol.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
So Roy, Okay, So we'd be remiss if we didn't
say that. Of course, we tape some episodes of Quest
of Supreme rather week's of advance of us going on
the air. But this particular taping we are kind of
awaiting the results. Well, I don't know if we're awaiting
the results of of of the well, I mean, do

(05:25):
we kind of know how it's going to go?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
I mean, oh, you have hope.

Speaker 8 (05:30):
I got to a little bit. I got to I
know a lot of black folks and Bama. I'm hoping
that you know, as.

Speaker 7 (05:36):
The great philosopher of the game once told us, you
don't have to anything's possible.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
If fifty Vica, I appreciate.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
It, hated to love it. The underdogs on the top.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Yeah, so we was talking outside, so you got to
break it down for the audience what it is with
other cats.

Speaker 7 (06:05):
Here's the thing I don't really like as a black person. Yeah,
I'm the Democrat and I locked up the Klan. That's
what he's running on, Like it's he ran on this
platform that he was one of the people who prosecuted
two of the last living Clans members who bombed the
Sixteenth Street Baptist Church back in the sixties. But the
truth of the matter is that it wasn't like he

(06:27):
crusaded to you.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Know, we got to reopen this case. Gut damn it.
I know they ever can lock him up.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
No, the FBI reopened the sixteenth Street bombing, and Doug
Jones was the dude at the time, Like, Yo, you're
the person in the office that does this type of shit,
so go prosecute this dude. And they locked the clansman
up and now he's hanging his hat on that and
that's fine, dude, what you do.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
He wasn't actively pursuing it like this was nineteenth He
prosecuted this dude in like the late nineties, don't like
it was the church wasn't still smoldering when you march
into the damn porthouse. His nigga did it? Wh Muddy
Waters came out. Probably a lot of Klansman died like
two months after he got locked up.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
He was old, So don't and I just feel like
this what I was telling you outside is that you know,
as a white dude, he didn't properly crusade for black
justice because they never gave him his movie. You're a
white man and you get black justice, you're supposed to
get your movie. He didn't get his movie. If you

(07:32):
want to getting a movie, don't know. I don't know,
Like how low does your steam have to be? If
a child molester beats.

Speaker 7 (07:42):
You, you gotta get you gotta leave the game.

Speaker 6 (07:46):
I mean, yeah, we got bigger fish.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
So you could ask Hillary that question.

Speaker 8 (07:55):
That's where and that's where we are if it's from
this from the top down.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Seven seeing everybody. That's how I started with Trump and.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
His rid This dude said I dated some girls that
might have been teenagers, but I got their mammy's permission.
He said America was good back when it was still slavery.
He said being gay should be illegal. He showed up
to the polls to vote on a horse. If you
lose to that, dude, you have to get out of politics. Okay,

(08:27):
so you just got to get out the game. Bro,
this is not for you. I'm not trying to piggyback
off of I having recently just found out my entire
family comes from Alabama, I'm now like sort of taking
interest in.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Alabama jokes and ship.

Speaker 8 (08:47):
No.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
No, I'm just saying that, you know, before I could
ignore Alabama.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Okay' y'all gave us the Commodores. Who else?

Speaker 4 (08:57):
I mean you, No, I'm just in general. It's like,
I mean, do we really as Northerners? I mean, as Northerners,
we've always had this reputation of being snooty and and
and above it all, sort of looking down at our
Southern counterparts. But you know, only yes, I understand that

(09:22):
we we should all the Commodore's.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
You're still on that.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
We also gave y'all Beyonce's mama, So y'all Louisiana, my mama, Alabama.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
My Texas knows something.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Something country ground. I know that. I mean I didn't
even get to that part. I mean, we was going
off with new kids on the block last week. So okay, we.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
All I'm saying is is is there hope for Alabama?

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Is there hope? Yes? Yes, Like are there any parts
of Alabama that seemed remotely progressive? Yes?

Speaker 7 (10:10):
Absolutely. So I'm from Birmingham. So Birmingham is a blue county,
deep blue county in the middle of a red state.
I think Montgomery's a blue county as well. Birmingham just
got a new mayor, thirty six year old brother named
Randall Wood Finn Madham, and this dude is all about
changing everything. This brother came in and Birmingham has had
black mayor since the seventies, but it's always been an
older guard sixty or over seventy year over type brothers

(10:33):
who have a different ideology. So now you have someone
that's young.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
And the first thing he did, literally the day after
he was sworn in was fire half of the old
mayor staff. Like when you talk about somebody serious about
bringing in new blood and new people from top to bottom,
what's up man? You the janetor Yeah, I'm gonna need
you to give me your mob, bro, We're gonna go on.
Everybody got fired, So you have that. And then also

(10:59):
Inham there's a Birmingham, and I would argue this for
the whole I know for the state. It's a fact,
and I wonder I'd love to check the numbers to
see what it is nationally. But we have nine black
women sitting as judges on this city and county level,
which is important because it's a predominantly black city where
all the drug laws getting black people locked up. So

(11:21):
when you're a black person and you go in front
of a black judge, these black women, a lot of
them are taking like all of these different sentencing alternatives
instead of just throwing a Negro away and locking them
up and leaving them in a rock and jail. Hey,
I'm gonna give you a second chance, but go get
that high school diploma for me. Come back and see
me in a year after you got that house. Hey,
I will lock you up, but you know what, go

(11:41):
to this drug rehab program treating drugs as a disease
instead of just oh you hold them.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
So when you have people like that doing stuff like
that now, I think it's a slow crawl. And if
you look at Birmingham and what it was twenty or
thirty years ago, negroes wasn't getting that type of benevolence
in the legal system.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
So it's a start. I gotta say that it was.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
I was rather I was surprised we did like a
showen Bermingham, like maybe last year and was I mean,
I was thrown off by the tree that the willows.
I'm still that still scares the living message.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh yeah, I'm hanging trees. Yeah they're still up there.
But uh, it seemed a little more forward than the
rest of alum.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
It was was overtly friendly, like to a level that
I wasn't used to almost.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
You know what.

Speaker 7 (12:35):
I blame that, don't know, man, Like I'm just being
it sounds like a cop out because I'm from the state,
But I just blame it on how the South is
portrayed more often than not in television and film, especially Alabama.
More often than not, if Alabama is the focus of something,
it's either some period piece from back in the day
where it's Nigga Nigga Nigga and I'm a savior and

(12:55):
you get out of town boy, or it's First forty
eight like those are pretty much the only two options
in terms of how Alabama's portrayed, or some Forest Gump
Backwood type ship.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Do you resent that. I mean because even the term Bama,
like when we oh yeah, Bama is a negative every day.

Speaker 7 (13:15):
But I understand it because you got a dude down
there who says gay people should be in jail.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Oh wait, Bama is a bad thing.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
I didn't think, oh yeah, yeah, you're just a country.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
And it's like we turned the bad into the good.
Sometimes you could be a bad Bama, but then.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
There's a good Bama. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (13:33):
Never knew like it was so bad. Like I wouldn't
tell people I was from Alabama. I would specifically say
Birmingham so that it didn't trigger the Bama in their head,
Like what I mean, people, you're from Alabama.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Oh you're Abama. You're right, And I can't.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Get Richie's like straight to you, not saying he wouldn't
say Alabama, but he said.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah, that's how we do. Man.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
It's it's a it's an interesting place. I just feel
like they're more progressive of parts of the city, which
is why it's important for me anytime I'm out and
I'm doing shit that I'm screaming Alabama at the top
of my lungs. Anytime I'm on television to make sure
that that people know that good ship can still that
there's still good shit coming out the state. It ain't

(14:17):
just wipe my fuck on the horse.

Speaker 8 (14:19):
And off barness to the south though, like how Birmingham
is to Alabama, Philly is to Pennsylvania, Like people don't
know that is ready. I mean, and some of the
largest journey has some of the largest clan population in
the country.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
So I'm just saying that, you know.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Yes, Birmingham, I was surprised. I mean I went there.
We did a couple of shows there. I think we
was in twenty fifteen. We did a couple of foreign
change shows and afterwards I took my boys to the
to the museum, museum and we went to the sixteenth
the church, and that shit was just crazy just to
be sitting there and to think like a bomb went off. Yeah,

(14:57):
I mean that shit was literally standing in the same
spot in the church. You know what's interesting though, like.

Speaker 7 (15:03):
I don't know where in North Carolina you all could
have gone for like the civil rights museums and the
history and the Rainsford So it's like Woolworth with all
that the citys and all of that. So you do
the class field trips and all of that stuff when
you're growing up. We went to so much historical black
stuff that in a way, when I grew up and

(15:25):
I had the option of not going to a lot
of that stuff, I had to break it up.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Like even when like.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
Like I was just you know, it's just part of
your it's part of your educational diet down south. Is
this happened to you? This is what they did to us.
Always remember never never forget it.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Never never know.

Speaker 7 (15:40):
Like and before we moved when I was in the
third grade, we lived in Memphis until the third grade.
So we took a tour of Alex Haley's house and
they took us to all of the civil rights spots,
Lorraine Motel, the whole WAP. So I got to Birmingham.
You're fed civil rights every single year. Class movie is
civil rights movies. So when I became older, I was like, yo,

(16:01):
I gotta take like I literally need a break on
some PTSD type ship. I can't absorb this.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
So you haven't been to the have you Guysian? Have
you been? Haven't been? Yeah, I gotta go. But they
say it's a four hour and you leave.

Speaker 6 (16:16):
I was about to say, for years is real intent?

Speaker 4 (16:19):
You need five hours to process and you want to
break it up in days.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
I'm just saying for the Burmah, I understand what you're
saying now, Like that's the capital of civil rights. It
is so many things that happened there that you might
want to at the Smithsonian to one floor one day,
the next day come back.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
So where I went before the Smithsonian, Atlanta opened up
a new museum in the past year and a half
and I went to that one, and that was the
one where I said, all right, I'll do the Smithsonian.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Mthsonian, is it? That's that's ground zero.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, But I mean there's there's also ways to take
a break. You know, Oprah has their theater in there.
You can you can.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
Watch you got you gotta do a guy because.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
For him, like I'm certain that Timothy's gonna hold it
down and take him through.

Speaker 8 (17:01):
You know, everybody else who's listening who don't have a Timothy,
I would say.

Speaker 7 (17:05):
But there's guys there too. And that was the old
joke that I used to do. I talked about how
part of the problem with the Civil Rights Museum is
that there's no one there to give you a hug
before you leave, so you leave man.

Speaker 8 (17:17):
Can I tell you the way that the Smithsonian is built?
You started the bottom, which is like middle passes. Yes,
and so you kind of start with a heavy weight
boulder on your back and you in the basement and
then it kind of it slowly gets better.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
But it's like the second floor is Jim Crow reconstruction.
Third floor is victory if you can make it. The
floor is like Obama, like Jordan.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
I was just guessing Jordan. Yes, and it's weird. I've
been there maybe five times, but again you would have
to there's you don't You won't have a complete experience
there unless you spend five hours. In the beginning the
slave part, you're going to be in there for at

(18:09):
least an hour. And I know during Civil Rights you're
gonna want to see they have a recreation of Mattill's funeral. Wow,
they have the casket, they have the church views.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
You walk up, Yeah, they no, it's it's it's it's
it's a line.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
It's like I stood in line for twenty five minutes
to go past.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
His casket is open.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
And you should see what the white people come through.

Speaker 8 (18:35):
Like they they listen, they met, they got a little
metamorphous they go through, you get to a certain floor,
it's like, I'm.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
A little contrast. Is the Holocaust Museum like that as well?

Speaker 8 (18:48):
I've never steve that's when you come.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
In somebody saying Holocaust.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, I'm sure there has to be remnants and more
like the and Frank, I mean I've been to.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Trip.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Don't think you should compare the two. It's kind of
like this.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Well no, I'm just because my question is I'm just like,
other are the monuments and tragedy?

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yeah, because it's deep.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
I mean you you've been at the Smithsonian, right, Yeah,
Like I dude, I did not know uh that for
the longest uh if we had to see doctors or anything,
uh veterinarians, Yeah, saw us, and.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
They they showed they had if there's to do denal
work this black people.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
Right, And I didn't know that black women weren't allowed
to see gecologists. So just the torture devices they had
to use for you to give childbirth.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
It that fucked with me.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
So I mean by the time you get to the
fourth floor and you see like j Dilla's thing and
the mothership connection and all that stuff, and let's keep.

Speaker 8 (19:56):
It all the way from it ain't no greater tragedy
in this country than what happened to black people.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
So it was kind of hard to compare Native.

Speaker 8 (20:02):
Americans continuously for the present day.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
Like I don't know if it's been the longer.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
We're just asking, we're just asking if there Yeah, there's
a facility. Yeah, that's people's brief, you know, made into
I won't say commercialized, but are they exploited in that way?

Speaker 9 (20:21):
Well, I've never been to the Holocaust Museum, but I
have been to the nine to eleven Museum, and I
found that to be really difficult and sort of but
not not difficult in the way that you're talking about, yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
Because you were alive then and you remember.

Speaker 9 (20:35):
No, I just find it to be like commercialized in
a way. It was it was like a show.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Taking selfish the fucking is a fucking gift shop, you
know or whatever, Like you know, it's like, yeah, there
is and and they're showing you know, fire department ship
which is cool whatever, and you know, stuff like that
for the first responders, like that theme, I guess, but
like it's just it was like fucking that what a
fucking like a nine to eleven key chain, you know,

(21:03):
like you know, it's like, yeah, with the fire Department,
It's like it's fucking crazy.

Speaker 7 (21:17):
You know what else I do sometimes like if I've
decided that a Black Struggle movie, If I've decided that
a Black Struggle movie is going to be too intense
for me and I just can't sit in the theater,
I'll fandango a ticket opening weekend and I will not go.

(21:37):
I will sit comfortably until that ship comes on the plane.
Or I can stream it somewhere and then watch it
in thirty minute intervals so that when I start feeling angry,
I'm halfway through it.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
I don't yeah, wait like Marshall neither, because I'm like,
what movie?

Speaker 4 (21:58):
Yeahs, I've seen Marsha yet I haven't seen That's good.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
I saw that Marshall.

Speaker 6 (22:02):
Ye, I don't even know that because the end of Marshall,
y'all know what the end of markin.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I mean, I don't think you're spoiling it because it's
pre Supreme Court, right.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Wait, he doesn't go to ninety one.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
No no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 8 (22:16):
At the end of Marshall, it's like a moment where
he takes on his next case, of course, and the
case is Trayvon his parents, Trayvon Martin's parents, and they're
like like a period piece and they have lines and stuff,
and all of a sudden you just end up crying.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
It's like Trayvon's parents and.

Speaker 8 (22:29):
The lawyers because actually they're in it and in the
next case, but they're dressed in their nineteen, you know, sixties.

Speaker 6 (22:37):
It was awesome.

Speaker 7 (22:38):
Yeah, civil rights movies, man, I love it and we
need them and they're essential, but it just it just
like Salem was the last one that I set in
the theater in its entirety. To watch the rest of them,
I fandango and then I just have to eat that
ship in bite sized chunks.

Speaker 4 (22:54):
It's like watching the snuff film, but that's not really
black stroke. Get Out like three Negro humming in the
middle of you know, I'm talking about that Negro Jesus

(23:15):
a white woman. Okay, So I guess since this is
our end of the year, uh, of course, get Out
is one of the major miracles of cinema.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Shout out to Jordan.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Can I ask, though, do you think that everyone got
obviously got get Out? Because there's I mean, there's different
levels to watch it on. Of course, by the first week,
everyone was talking about the Easter.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Eggs and the hidden meanings.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
But I still think that that it went over a
lot of people's heads, like they just saw it as
a frothy horror film. It's almost to the point where
I actually think that even the co stars, like I
don't think that Alison truly, I didn't.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Think she understands where she knew what she was getting into.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Well, because I know that underneath all of that, like
I mean, Jordan's just so many levels of woke, on
on on on the potent of the message.

Speaker 6 (24:24):
And how is he with his situation too? But okayd with.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
His situation, So I don't know, he may he still
may get out.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
You know what it's like to be uncomfortable in a
white family's house.

Speaker 6 (24:37):
It's just so interesting.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
I don't know. I'm sure I.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
Don't. Don't get me in the bed.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
But I'm sorry saying you know.

Speaker 9 (24:48):
I've seen it a few times. I saw in the
theater and then I saw it on.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
I saw it.

Speaker 9 (24:52):
I'm proud of you, Steve, But tell me, tell me
what potentially I'm I'm missing.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
Uh, yeah, that's the origin the question. Did white people
get the same question?

Speaker 3 (25:03):
What's what's the down under is that?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Is that that.

Speaker 6 (25:08):
They're over it now?

Speaker 4 (25:09):
It was the idea of the sunken place, the idea
of black bodies in controlled by white Uh yeah, I
mean there was a lot of underhanded symbolism in there
that I think just generally went over people's heads.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, I'm okay, but what what specifically.

Speaker 6 (25:25):
What he just he just broke it down?

Speaker 3 (25:28):
But was that four white people?

Speaker 4 (25:31):
Were those parts of the film ever intended for white
people to get like the like the scene where Daniel
is dapping up Lakeith Stanfield and he goes for the
dap and le Keith gives him the handshake, right, and
he knew right then something was right right. I kind
of feel like the last that get Out was almost

(25:53):
the equivalent of the Rise of the Village People, where
in nineteen seventy nine you're going the you know, they
were America's favorite group.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Everyone's like not.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Know that this is a whole subculture we got your
kids thinking about exactly. Like, That's That's what I feel
like get Out represented as in the message was so potent. Well,
I think it's something to that. I agree because I
saw it. I saw three times. One time I saw
it like we was up here. So I saw it once.
The first time I saw it was at Detroit. It

(26:29):
was in Detroit.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
We was on tour.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Whoa, it was at a theater in Detroit. I was
about to say, there's one theater in Detroit. It was
the one that's out the way out, And I knew
it was a black theater because all the ranch saw
it was really like I knew the racial demographics already.
So I'm like, all the damn ranch, all the gona said, yeah,
it's some niggas in here. So I saw it there,
and then I saw it in Raleigh. Me and my

(26:52):
wife went to see it at like the theater like
in our neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
It was like a lot of mostly white.

Speaker 4 (26:57):
So the theme that was so telling every time I
saw it that at the end when the police pull
up or what we think is the police, every black
person in the theater.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
Was like, oh, like that.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Was the horror, Like that's the horror movie right there. Yeah,
I did a bleeding white girl and the police show up. Nigga,
that's horror, yo.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
He had a couple of those dog whistle moments.

Speaker 8 (27:20):
He even had a sister dog whistle moment that I remember,
I said to you, you ain't catch it. When the
chick that was the black chick that was already hypnotized
or whatever was the grandma was in the room and
he was talking to his girlfriend. He was like, she
was in here, like you know, that's the whole thing.
Like remember, I don't know if y'all remember. She was like,
that's a thing with black women, like she.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
In the room.

Speaker 8 (27:43):
She came, yeah, when he can't mess with his phone
when she messed with his phone and the and the
girlfriend was like, why was.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
She mess with your phone? He's like, what do you mean?
Why was Oh okay.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yeah, okay, I get it.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
I can actually top you, uh on on on that
Fronte I saw. First of all, it got to the
point where I was obsessed with seeing the film, but
more or less watching people watch the watching the right.
So I think, yeah, I've never seen a film more
than I've seen get Out. In movie theaters, I think
I've seen like seventeen eighteen times.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
We were in Palm Beach in Florida. It was like watching.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
A whole nother film because it's literally me and a room.
It was a small theater, so it was about maybe
sixty chairs. I'll say forty five of them were older
white people, and it was just like the complete opposite,

(28:42):
Like they were appalled and shocked because by that point
the critical claimness of the film, it became like must
see movie.

Speaker 6 (28:49):
You know, I M see saw Somebody walk out.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
Yeah, it was watching It was like watching a whole
nother film when you watched it in Palm Beach without
spoiling the movie. Did those people in the theater clap
at the end or frown? Oh they didn't clap at
all when they were everybody the scene, the scene where

(29:14):
the very end when the outside Yeah, right before uh
rail gets out of his vehicle and uh uh Allison
is in her position.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Right. We already talked about the bleeding white girl earlier.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Okay, yeah, they're like, that's the first time I heard
someone express sadness for.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Her, well for him. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
It was like, oh, like because when I saw it
in I went to the Magic Theater, Harlem Harlem were cheering, right,
but in Palm Beach was like like, oh god, she's
about that sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
Also, I will also add much for that.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Well, probably this will probably make like you're very happy
every time I saw the movie, every black woman, my
wife include.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Was like, don't trust that bitch. Don't trust that bitch.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Like they knew the girl with a whole the whole time,
chopping off hands. They every all the black women they
knew off rip that she was a part of it.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
She was in on the hit.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Well, I have to say that, uh, for the maybe
the second year of that, movies and television have sort.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Of top music. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yes, as far as entertainments concerned, yes, a thousand times. Yes,
are there any Are there any other significant movies? Real
Boys with three Real Boys, Yes, had three billboards. It's
not a black movie.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
She has and that ship is hard.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
And sam uh uh rock Well, I tell you what
pissed me off this year was not It wasn't. Jada
Pinkett had a tweet storm a couple of weeks ago
about this about the Golden Globe Tupac tweets. So Tiffany
got snoozed for a Golden Globe and Girls Trip wasn't

(31:20):
nominated for a Golden Globe. And not only was it
not nominated, the Hollywood form press didn't even watch the
fucking movie the number.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
Why would they?

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Why would because it's a black movie.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
But if it's the number one grossing comedy of the summer,
how yeah, it beat the ship out of Rough Night.
Well yeah, but I get it. It's it's a black
movie and these are foreigners. And if somebody told me
one time, doctor King didn't cross the ocean, so it's

(31:54):
all the marching he did, he never crossed the ocean.
So it's still a lot of risks. So they just
didn't fuck with girls trip. They didn't even affect the
numbers enough to go all right, maybe this is an
exception to.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Our new nigga movie nomination rule. That's crazy because I.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
Thought that Tiffany's story would have been the kind of
story that they championed.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Uh oh yeah, coming.

Speaker 8 (32:17):
Up through the it would have been if she would
have did a white movie, probably if it probably would
have made a difference.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
I've seen comedies and had a black friend.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
If she would have been like Jennifer Hudson in the City,
like the Magical Negro that helps.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
The three years ago when Leslie blew the block up
on s n L because it was a white show,
then maybe there was more white acceptance of Leslie than
Tiffany because she blew the block up out the gate
on a Black productions fucked up considering how Good Girls
Tripp was like, but.

Speaker 8 (32:48):
It was really black production, Like, it's not just that
one black writers like, oh, y'all, y'all running.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
It was black.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
The essence super what is it? Essence Festival was the
black one with the whole movie. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 6 (33:04):
Speaking of Golden Globe snub just want to shout out
to Queen Sugar. I just want to say that too.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Well, you know what I say. Everybody got snubbed, literally everyone.
This is the snubbiest.

Speaker 8 (33:15):
Except for who was the loudest on the carpet last yo,
that is Queen nominated, Lisa got nominated, and last year
actress or rights the category.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
I want to say, I want to say in front
of you.

Speaker 6 (33:28):
Yeah I do. I just didn't want to do it enough.

Speaker 8 (33:30):
Yeah, but remember last year on the red carpet, everybody but.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Voting for everybody, but right, yeah, Queen Sugar. Man.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
I think the problem with Queen Sugar not necessarily the show,
but just I think it's the fact that it's on own.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
I think that's why they keep shitting on it.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
That's true. Don't have no nominations you and.

Speaker 7 (33:48):
That's a quality shows with anything else gorgeous show Man,
not even it's not even received, I mean love or
any It's nothing. But I would argue that, and I
don't know anything about contracts in Hollywood and all that ship,
but I would argue that that's part of the reason
why I own changed over from Tyler Perry to Will
Packerd to handle production the most dramas over the next

(34:10):
four to five years, to basically change the.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Entire and the types of shows. She just sold the network.
Didn't she know?

Speaker 8 (34:17):
She know she took a bigger cut of the network.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Discovery or something always owned it.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
They always I thought.

Speaker 7 (34:23):
I think they bought a big I think there's Bill
Packer and Tyler Perry, two totally different types of producers,
and the type of shows that they were green light
are night and day. So that may help to that
problem going forward if there's other shows on the network
that are more in line with what Queen Sugar is,
because Queen Sugar for a long time was a anomaly.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Yeah, it looked like nothing else.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
Yeah, because Yo, I haven't watched I have.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
A what do you call it?

Speaker 4 (34:53):
I started on iTunes, Uh, only because the church. I
can kind of like relate to a lot of this
fucking missing. It's within the church.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
It's just pastors and people stealing money back dramas you
can find on own.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
My mother watches the haves and the have nots. I
can't do it.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
That's another.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
That has and the have nots. And then he had
like a comedy. It was another joint the pain, pain,
more pain, but I have not is the one like
my mother loves.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
She loves none of them touching. This is us because
it was our year. God damn it. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
I've still had to watch this show.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
So on the music side, when you all see somebody
get snubbed, we got snubbed. I will say that, with
the exception of what's this year's Pixar film Coco Coco. Yeah,
literally with the song that we did for Detroit shout
out to fan Tickeolo also including this yeah with with

(35:53):
and speaking of I should name the song it ain't fair,
uh for Detroit fulfilling prophets apparently Listen now, yeah, we've
literally we've been listed. And you know when they give
the projections of like, you know, songs, Yeah, but then
when you look at the nominations like even the Shoe

(36:16):
win like common Song for.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
That didn't even get nominated. Good, Yeah that didn't get nominated.
It's it was him and Day and Dyane Warren.

Speaker 6 (36:26):
It is so no seasoning didn't know.

Speaker 8 (36:29):
It's like if you don't stand for something, you gotta
stand for anything possible.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
The guy that wrote was working with Dian Yeah. It
was a load. It was a long road. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
So no, but I mean he's still got it. Got
his song got nominated for Grammy and the n Double
a c P Award like everything. I never heard what
movie was it in, just very good. I didn't even
know the movie came out. So he came out, it
came out. It's like they let's get this ship out
for Black Panther come out. I think I ignored it
because Chadwick Boseman was in it and just have him.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
And everybody like that was his third historical Black Girl.

Speaker 6 (37:12):
But Sterling Brown was in that movie as well, and
he was really good. Sterling.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
He gives Chadwick Boseman twned actor. I just don't think
he needs to play every historical.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
That was the one yet, and I did think that
him playing third good.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
That was that was some some Zoe's what wasn't.

Speaker 7 (37:32):
Don't even do it as James Brown.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
I bought him ass Jackie Robinson.

Speaker 7 (37:37):
No, he killed those. He killed both of those. Buy
him as a mythical black leader to blind black panthers. Okay,
so I spread the love with that, because.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Do we get mad?

Speaker 4 (37:52):
If you get mad, and then do you just go
for awards and just do the work? I don't know
full q Tip, It's like.

Speaker 3 (38:01):
Never let us tell me how well you know? The
black Twitter was clapping back of that instantly. So it's nigga,
you just jealous. No no, no, no no, I just meant that.
You know.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
I knew that someone was going to bring up the
tribe line. I never need a statue to tell me.
But I mean I get tips point. Uh what we're
talking about is, uh, we're trying to get tipped back
on the show too. I gotta shut up.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
God, we're not slandering him.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
I mean, basically I see where Tip was going because
this is the last Tribe moment. It would have been
a nice book ending if they least got nominated, like
as a moment.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
For I thought they deserve the nomination.

Speaker 8 (38:44):
Just have a real Grammy moment though, for real, like this, okay,
just because the organization. First of all, I'm curious as
if q tip is a voting members. So many, so
many hip hop artists that aren't voting members, Like people
forget that this is like your whole voting situation. So
it's like, you don't be mad like he's I guess
he should be mad at all the other rappers.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
And but the thing with the Grammys, I mean, I
guess like any other it's not a meritocracy.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
It's a campaign.

Speaker 8 (39:07):
Yes you got but they also have to be a
voting member and a paint But.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, you have a point. This is the year.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
This year is the sea change because now we're voting online, man,
And that's why that to me, that one year solidifies that.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Back before this year.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
And in conversations with our good friend James Harris Id,
I kind of figured that really the Grammys are just
twenty people in a room really deciding that. And he's
got the most, you know, but not quite trusting the situation.
I have to say that this is the official year
that the actual voting body members got a say in

(39:53):
what is, which can be a dangerous thing because let's.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
Say at sponsored by rock.

Speaker 4 (39:59):
Nation, right, Because the thing is, if there's any time
for a legacy group like the Roots to pull a
jeth Row toll, like this is our time to do
it where it's like, oh yeah, I like those guys,
you know, twenty years and like us beating I'm just
I'm giving you.

Speaker 8 (40:21):
Thing.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
You guys gonna beat Cardi B. Yeah, like you don't
pity votes.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Now under the old system, I definitely thought that, oh,
now's our time to cake off of you know, being
the familiar old name and a monkst that sort of thing.
But now that this new voting system of us actually
voting online, yeah, it's it's I predict this is going
to be a problem because you're really going to see

(40:51):
the the the barometer of where theote voting members are.

Speaker 6 (40:54):
Because I'm in Cardi B gonna win Grammy this.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Year, probably it could happen.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
Yeah, the value of a Grammy is just going to.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
Cardi B. Is a meme to me.

Speaker 8 (41:09):
I mean, I don't know what to do about Cardi
I mean, it wasn't hit record.

Speaker 4 (41:15):
I mean, but if you're judging it on full body
of work and album, and I don't think there is
and all of that, but just that record.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
I was in the place it's a jam. I was
in a sunken place with it. Yeah. Have you heard
it on loud speakers? I've heard. No, I haven't. I've
heard it in a car once. That's the only time
I ever heard the song. I like you. I was
proud to not have known a Bodak Yellow.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
I was good with it, and then one day, like again,
the whole slithering Gryffin door.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
I just have to remember, I don't fun with hip
hop at all anymore. No, I get it.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
I'm I'm borderlined with you. And I'm still trying to
make a listen off from something I don't fuck. I'm
just saying that I ain't the reallyship I'm saying backstage
in the Griffin door dressing room of the Roots show,
I've never seen Harry Potter either, by the way, I've
never seen anything.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
And in two weeks and the Griffin doing it was
quiet as hell. But in the Slithering room it was
turned city and that song became infectious.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
I couldn't avoid the join it.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
It's a jam, it's a record, and the thing is
But like when always happened, what does she do next?

Speaker 3 (42:35):
I don't know. Some came it's a.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
Oh my god, we're becoming those people where we need
someone young to help us. Man, I've been that nigga
about ten years.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Because.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
But is that before us? That's not what it's not
is not but migos is more for me than music.
That was my that was my listen. I love them
nigga as a I was on the bubble about all
that trap rap shup, and then I tried to write
a fucking parody song, and I realized how ten fifteen

(43:14):
years of radio I ain't never had no problem putting
together take that line and make that funey and take that.
It's easy to build a parody song mirroring the fucking
You cannot mirror that ship. You cannot, like just even
just writing a regular verse matches I.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
I can't do it. Well. I think it's hard to
beard prescription drugs.

Speaker 4 (43:33):
I need to do some concerpt to slow the girl down,
because the new joint is them, the Gucci gang joint,
that ship.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Make that yellow white God damn good game.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Little Peak, now he wanted to die, Little Peak die.
That's a little a little somebody. It's a white boy.
It's called Gucci Gang. Oh yeah, just look it's a
white dude, little little Troy, No, little Pump, little little Pump.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
No, I'm old. What's the name of that young boy
that was the one?

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Yeah, I got Pump and Pete confused, Little Pete, Pete died.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Pump is Pump is good game? Game? You know, a
Guccie game coming those that one of those on the
freeing about little Pump. Look, it was the first time
that Boss Bields listen like rock him.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
Can we just stop playing trap songs in the year because.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
I got request This is a real song. This is
a real song.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
Bill took off his headphones.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
Gucci game, your game you? Yeah, what's your head ones on?
Ain't gonna hand bob men? And what the rang go?

Speaker 6 (45:00):
And I never heard I knew he was gonna do that.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
The funniest thing about this song, though, is.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
It has a behind the lyrics that like you can
do on really ever was a fucking song that didn't
need that?

Speaker 3 (45:16):
Ain't seventeen times?

Speaker 6 (45:17):
Can I hear mask off?

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Now?

Speaker 6 (45:19):
We're not taking.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Future meyl Street Ship, Don't chase no chick. Yeah, I'll
get your point.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
Bill Washington proud wash Stield Bill's avoidance of trap culture
is that similar to nutrition? All right, if you're trying
to lose weight, if you're trying to live a better
way of life, are you going to eat one hundred?
Uh now laters in the morning. He's not interested in
this ship doesn't mean anything to me.

Speaker 6 (45:58):
He's trailing your mind.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
I know, but you it's junk food.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
It's liricly, it's acoustic junk food that you partake in
from time to time and it gives me diarrhea.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
But you can't I get it.

Speaker 7 (46:10):
The problem though, to that, to that perspective is fair
because of how corporations of influence radio playlists.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
I ain't got to explain that to anybody, and how
we're radio stations give you the same fifty songs every month,
and they have their corporate meeting and then they add
in ten more and.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Then they make sure that the dumbest songs in the.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
World because they also control the touring. They also control
the venues, and we know everybody's going to show up
to see the dumb song. Dumb song sells more tickets
than woke song because they think you're all idiots.

Speaker 6 (46:40):
Yeah good, what about Tyler the Creator. Can we just
have a moment because I thought.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
That that record it sounds like suicidal Pharrell. I just
thought it was a happier I mean happy for him.
I thought it was probably the happiest.

Speaker 7 (46:57):
I mean for Taler. Yes, it's pretty damn happy. Yeah,
but for anybody else, No, I haven't heard it. I
haven't heard anything after Camp since Earl Sweatshirts album, and
I think that's two years ago that.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Well, here's the thing this album. You know, I was
expecting the normal Tyler I'll crush your testicles in my
teeth that sort of, and it wasn't that.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
It was like, do it again, give me another bar time,
I'll crush your testiles my teethted women with brittle pass
that style.

Speaker 4 (47:37):
And he made a very musical, light sounding record which
shot the ship out of This is the record that
I think he'll get the old heads with you like
cast our ad like, this.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Is the record.

Speaker 8 (47:50):
And to be honest, it's funny because when we interview
roy Airs, it's just actually ended up being what roy
Air said he was because just did not know Tyler
to create his name. He knew, did I work with
this young dude? And he is so talented and.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
He called him a piano but he said, yeah, he
played the piano. They played the piano. So we're thinking,
were like, okay, Robert Blast like no, no.

Speaker 4 (48:10):
No piano. We're just going through every jazz dude like no, no, noah.
So we're like, okay, well we'll just move on. So
we know you work with Tyler, creator of all the
things to described Tyler created as I don't think piano
player would be the Iceland is very oh that is

(48:32):
is that?

Speaker 3 (48:33):
You know? That was the Jellies, the one on Vicelands,
Like a, wait, how many shows his talent have just
too But it's like a he wants.

Speaker 7 (48:43):
It's almost like a he's just traveling the world and
it's I don't even want to call it Boordain because
it's not fair to make that comparison. But he's experiencing
something with somebody from his camp, and this person's just
explained he would like a toy shopping like lear toys,
how to make waffles, learn how to get served, Like
it was a whole episode of him just in the

(49:04):
fucking forest in Canada, tapping maple trees.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
The one he designs a go Kart and they build
it for him. And then there's one where it was
the one I just saw the other day. Oh, he
learns how to do stop motion animation that you shouldn't.

Speaker 7 (49:19):
But he asked interesting questions that make you curious about
it as well. So you're experiencing something through his brain.
It's a good show.

Speaker 8 (49:26):
It is a good show the creator definitely.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Yeah. Okay, so another notable record. Now I have my
theory on it.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
What were our thoughts on four four four? Oh me,
first Me, first Me, First first Me, first hit? It
mixed that album? Holy shit, that sounds horrible.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
Yeah, fall you know, you know what I have to
say that nevi Ja, I know that. Okay, I'm not
saying my theory, but I definitely know that, especially based
on Smile. My theory is that maybe they were late comers,

(50:12):
lake comers to donuts and yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (50:16):
Let's call it munchkins. They were late comers to it,
and that they were trying to give you that vibe. No,
it just sounded because they recorded in some of the
best of studio.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
It sounded like it sounded like, really, this is vond
this is no dis to you, bro. It sounded like
an ovon p album.

Speaker 3 (50:34):
Wow. Yeah, I thought it was. It was his best
album in a long time.

Speaker 6 (50:38):
Okay, we're gonna talk content now.

Speaker 3 (50:40):
But here's the thing. Yeah, I know you read, you're ready.
I personally I'm going to record with this. I don't believe.
I don't believe Lemonade nor four four.

Speaker 6 (50:58):
So you think it's just conspiracy things.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
I think they know we want blood and we'll take it.
They're gonna sell us blood. But I can see that,
I guess, because my question is, how, if that really
did happen, if either one of them was in was
cheating on each other, how do you keep that shit
of secret that I would have to kill a motherfucker?

Speaker 3 (51:20):
I mean, like, I mean the video Solange in the
elevator beating somebody's.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Right, right right, and that now that knowing Solange, I
think that ship was real.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
That was real. That was real.

Speaker 4 (51:39):
There's been talk on what happened to bring that on,
which was real. But I'm just saying that if you're
the most famous, I mean, I got D list celebrity,
me can't. I can't make motherfuckers keep secret. You're not

(52:00):
a billionaire though, Yeah, but even then, it's like.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Call but that was a whole other level.

Speaker 4 (52:08):
This nigga was higher massad agents and ship to do
like that nigga was on some day the Jackal ship.
I just don't think in the age of of of
selfie culture and just the needs advertise.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
I know your secrets. Yeah, there's five people that know
where the bodies are buried.

Speaker 4 (52:26):
In my life, Jay and Beyonce have never really been
very public people to begin with, So why would that
should be public.

Speaker 3 (52:34):
To begin with?

Speaker 4 (52:35):
Okay, do you You didn't even know they were officially
married until like after the Here's.

Speaker 9 (52:40):
The thing though, Okay, I'm writing a book about you.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
When Okay, so I wouldn't deal with that alright, February
two thousand and six. You're not gonna like it? What? Right? Okay?

Speaker 4 (53:07):
So in two thousand and six, I had the pleasure
of visiting will Smith's castle, right, and a question I
asked him was I was like, yo, because again, it
was the most overwhelming experience I ever had in someone's house. Like,
he has a stadium inside the house when he wants

(53:27):
to play basketball, there's like a replica of the forum
there and all that stuff. So it's basically like at
one point I was just like, yo, with all these
people in your property, Like, what is alone? Like, can
you just walk around the house naked if you want
to not being He's like, well, you're never alone. You
just get used to it. I said, so what's being alone? Like,

(53:49):
what's like no one's home? And he's like, oh, no
one's home. He's like, that's about eighteen people. So he's
never just on his own, right, I can't imagine. I
know people that have signed n d A's that still
yeat their mouth because they can't hold it in on.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
You know, I know, you know, I know.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
People in his organization and as organization and mad celebrities
or they have signed crazy.

Speaker 3 (54:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (54:21):
Yeah, But at a certain point when you're around people,
and I mean not for nothing, but I'm friends with
his sisters and stuff, it's like you respect them in
a way where you don't do that like they keep
I mean, I don't know, I feel like they keep
people around that well.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
I don't know, but I know stuff that I maybe
should not know me.

Speaker 6 (54:36):
Too, and I would never because you just respect the situation.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
But my thing is that if you know the line
about the Minaja Twa and stuff, I'm just.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
Like, how are you going to pull that off?

Speaker 4 (54:50):
Like again, So in and looking at those old Purple
Rain notes and looking at it in the Purple Rain Notes,
Prince finds Brown Mark uh for being late the bus call.
Like there's a thing where some memos like whatever, twenty
five dollars for being three minutes, Like Brown Mark was

(55:11):
like four minutes late to lobby call. And kind of
the thought behind it was like, because Prince was such
at a high level of celebrity that he can't even
go in that hotel lobby like he used to during
the nineteen ninety nine tour and you know, play Girl
Watcher so was getting all the round. Mark was basically

(55:34):
kicking up the Purple Rain tour because he his level
celebrity wasn't so that he couldn't go in a prison
right exactly. So I can't imagine, like how do you
broker that deal?

Speaker 3 (55:46):
Like yeah, yeah, who's.

Speaker 6 (55:49):
The super mega pimps?

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Who's the whole runner for Jason?

Speaker 6 (55:53):
There's got to be come on, I mean here, you
must know this.

Speaker 8 (55:55):
There's got to be like some super millionaire pimpatient.

Speaker 7 (55:58):
Whole Like I won't say his name here, but I've
heard stories of a famous white actor playboy who if
he sees somebody in the club, do you want to fuck?
He send the goon over. Yes, uh, he would like
the fuck.

Speaker 6 (56:17):
Are you okay with Donald DiCaprio.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
I will not say this, confirm that yo.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
And so they say, yo, you just come up to
the room and just the bodyguard or whoever just brings
you in, shift down.

Speaker 7 (56:44):
He will be in in a second, and then he
just walks in. We fucked, and then he leaves and
you stay there and put your clothes on, You get
your phone back, and then you get the paperwork though.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
No paper but in this age, it's like who can
keep their mouth silent on that ship on.

Speaker 8 (57:00):
To a lot of people who think that there might
be another meeting of the possibility of getting something more.

Speaker 6 (57:05):
It's more is.

Speaker 7 (57:05):
Potentially the moment you realized that you was just a
hotel fuck while my bodyguard watched you get your back
beat out, then the only thing left you got to
profit from is the story. So then you're more likely
to go and wring your mouth.

Speaker 8 (57:19):
Yeah, but in my mind, they get a couple of
dollars in those you know, Jay Beyonce situations.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
That's prostitution. I don't know. I mean, I just I don't.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
I don't believe that's institution when you're when you're that level.
I just don't believe. I can't believe that someone is
that silent to not speak on the situation.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
I don't think Becky Becky with the blond hair would
have been that question.

Speaker 8 (57:47):
It would be the biggest coup ever though. I mean,
he's came out, and if this is all a lie.

Speaker 6 (57:53):
I don't believe it's the biggest coup ever I feel.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
I mean, maybe the Illuminati connections they can have limit.
I'm I thought of that too, but I mean you
got I mean, and you.

Speaker 4 (58:03):
Even said this before, Boss Bill, if it was a
black girl that he cheated on the balls on that
black woman to essentially make herself the most hated woman
in America, like you slept with Beyonce's husband.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
You don't do that.

Speaker 8 (58:16):
How many women have you heard say I slept with
Denzel even though we all know.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
But I haven't heard nobody.

Speaker 8 (58:22):
I haven't trying to funk with Paul Letter. I mean,
just you know, the one the one to be thinking, no,
I'm reading.

Speaker 6 (58:30):
You know, I just.

Speaker 3 (58:36):
Right now.

Speaker 8 (58:37):
But the point is nobody want to piss off Paul
Letter and nobody want to be that one that said
that messed up.

Speaker 3 (58:47):
I haven't. I personally haven't heard that, but I mean,
I'm not.

Speaker 8 (58:50):
Just the one so not story, but I'm saying outside
that you look at that man and done his business,
I would believe it was the other ahead.

Speaker 7 (58:58):
I would believe these conspiracy This is first of all,
let me just say I love a good conspiracy theory.
And this is the first time I've heard the one
that Eliminade four for four are incy.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Wait, wait, wait for the record.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
I don't want nobody from the Illuminadi or the or
the Bad Hive.

Speaker 3 (59:16):
To kill me. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
Yeah, they're not even listening to Pandora anyway, You're gonna
hold you that.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
They're on title because on the place where Eliminade is,
I'm just Eliminade. I'll write out, really, yeah it is.

Speaker 7 (59:31):
Gets you all money, get I give you Lemonade as
a bunch of songwriters creating a facade. But I feel
like Jay on trip or four would be a little
more truthful to his life.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
And about his mom's truth. I think he's a smart
ass motherfucker brother and did a song about it, don't
you want to believe?

Speaker 4 (59:54):
Come on, Obama's brothers running around with Twitter account going
off the chain?

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
How come I ain't heard from Jay's brother yet because
j paid him off.

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
Is he still alive? Did he in the song he survived?
I'm just saying, did he die from something? I was
afraid to ask? We even got to you. But the
thing about the Jay's brother thing. Jazz mentioned that in
like another interview or song or something where he said
that after he shot his brother, he was the first
one he came to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
That Jay came to Jazz, like you know.

Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
Helped me out.

Speaker 4 (01:00:25):
I think that may be true. I think the tim
shooting brother, I think that happened. I always looked at
music as the purest form. Jay's album to me, is
the most emotionally naked he's ever been.

Speaker 3 (01:00:36):
But it ain't nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
I've been running and dying to go see him perform.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
I'm not dying to watch him walk back and forth
on I wish he would have presented it. He said,
he's very It's true. He's not a concert album either.
It's not. It's not a.

Speaker 8 (01:00:59):
Record Rose and finding it out too. I don't think
it's also not the crime tickets.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
Yeah, it's like six dollars. Yeah, they were overcharged to
retur they were overcharging.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
They were overcharging for the floor seats right and hoping
that they would make up for the cheap seats everywhere else. Wow, wait,
six bucks? When's the last time my contract ticket has
been six bucks?

Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
Speaking of concerts at twenty seventeen, can y'all confirm or
deny this that the pictures on social media of Janet
and stuff were more exciting than the actual performance in itself.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
The show was good, Okay, I enjoyed this slow show.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
Well you have to.

Speaker 4 (01:01:36):
When I saw you asked what she moving slower than normal?

Speaker 6 (01:01:41):
Somebody said, I heard that she was.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Friends with some haters, so light, and I.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
Said that fifty one year old Janet is not to
the level of twenty three year old that's are you?
Are you imposing some unrealistic standards on her?

Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
I just had questions.

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
I didn't know I heard. I heard this tour was good.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
The tour before that, when she was all when they
married up woman, she stopped grabbing dicks. That she's not
doing it on this one.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
Why must you grab the dicks when you're on the stitch?
You love my wife. I do not want to grab
it any more. Dicks. Okay, I won't grab it, Oh
my god, but that's what I do. I grabs no
nothing anymore. It's not like Boris and Na.

Speaker 6 (01:02:42):
Say, Janny gonna be with your main eight.

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
I enjoyed who I did, say.

Speaker 6 (01:02:47):
Jan getting back with your eight. I was just giving
you a little some of that getting back to.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
Pre pre pre Oh how am I No? That's slipper
ride you see to jump in there with. She was
on tour of Jermaine jack Thought.

Speaker 6 (01:03:01):
I was like, he's tour as well. Though he still
does his thing. He still does his thing, Jermaine Jackson.

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
I'm going to stop o. Hey.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
We also forgot to mention I she was a guest
on the show today. Uh, this is a control how
we feel about side Chick diaries.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
She's carrying on.

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
I had I still on my iPhone that I had
it on my phone when I went over to Europe
this fall, and every time one of the songs came on,
I was into it until she started singing, and then
I had.

Speaker 6 (01:03:33):
To skip buck damn you hard on.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
I like that song she did on the tonight show.

Speaker 6 (01:03:39):
What's It All?

Speaker 3 (01:03:40):
What was it called. I don't know. It has some
moments that I that I.

Speaker 8 (01:03:47):
Did, like love Galore did Drawn with Travis Scott. That's
like the jaw, that's the hello.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
R and B. I have to be like alone to
absorb like I can't. It has to be from like
before nineteen ninety.

Speaker 6 (01:03:58):
So there's no R and B.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
This I like my record, my early new edition. You
don't even stuck with the all white suit.

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
Yeah, a couple of cuts, but yeah, you're right, didn'
Jim and lewis Hae Whre was the star of the
story by on Home Again. Then Jerelivert produced that cut
how did you like Your Love?

Speaker 3 (01:04:19):
Oh yeah, they.

Speaker 4 (01:04:20):
Took like half a New Office star of the story,
so they weren'tetting a by Rod Sifferton.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
But that was my Joe.

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
Yeah yeah that think wrote to Nicholas. I didn't know
that mother because the names were always together. Yeah, it
hit your and the thing was but to me, I'm like, Hi,
a nigga named Edwin got a nickname name Tony.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Like that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:45):
Shouldn't all right, said my army. My joint was sucking
my homegirl Bosco Britney Bosco. She had a she put
out an EPs just called b and that ship is
fucking dope. It's dope. And also Gwynn as well. I
really I've been all her ship for a while. But yeah,
I go crazy with this year.

Speaker 6 (01:05:06):
Maggie, that chick Rogers, that's what.

Speaker 3 (01:05:11):
My student. No, yes, Maggie, I love you. Maggie Rochester
is one of my students at n y U. No,
she's from Ohio. Oh, I know you're talking about, but
I can't remember the gospel chick Chris.

Speaker 4 (01:05:27):
You had her on Instagram. You posted her ship on Instagram,
and yeah, I can't remember. It must not have been
that great.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
No, it's just we know that I'm having brain.

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
I always have brain for I want to say, Crystal,
she's like the gospel chick, like with the real thick harmonies.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
And then why are you doing that?

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
I remember seeing a whole bunch of people tweeting the posting.
I didn't because I had a whole bunch I had
this ship to do.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
I peeped working.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
I'm gonna just say but it was like it was
like a week when everybody was posting about and then nothing.

Speaker 6 (01:06:01):
Hello, got link, you killed it? Thank you for saving me.

Speaker 3 (01:06:04):
Gold Link.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Wait.

Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
I had high expectations for god Links album because I
like the mixtape that he had out before this ship
was great. But then I just found out that I
like the production because but I think that's true for all, Like,
I mean, that seems to be the case. Like when
people say they're tired of hip hop, I don't think
they're tired of hip hop. They're just tired of rappers. Yeah,
if I never heard another rapper rap again, I will

(01:06:32):
would be too soon. I'm fit and I'm with you.
I say that as a rapper, I'll be niggas rap.
But cruise the jam, Cruise the jam.

Speaker 6 (01:06:39):
I mean, we don't have a lot in DC. We
got him and you know, and Marvin Gaye.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
That's it. Wait, wait, hold on. Black people don't like
rap music anymore. No, black people, like they don't like
rappers all black people. Yeah, this is a question of
supreme exclusive. Yes, rappers don't like rapp. Not like rappers.

Speaker 6 (01:06:59):
A Black rappers don't like rappers.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
Like I like rap.

Speaker 7 (01:07:02):
But then if it's it's gotta be a little bit
off the beaten path, Like it's got to be something
that's a little harder to find, and you know, someone
that you stumble upon you like there was a there
was a minute for like a decade. Were the only
way I got put on the new rap that wasn't
caught up in the radio corporate bullshit was video games.
Video games introduced me to a ship ton of new

(01:07:25):
music across all genres, Like if you play Madden or Fifa,
it's impossible to not discover new I was listening to
the K pop fucking around with FIFA.

Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
Yo.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
They fucking group love out of fucking LA, this fucking
group epic high, Like half they ship is in Korean.
They ran and I fucking downloaded ship. I can't speak Korean,
but I was like, but the hooks are in English,
but the fucking verses are in Korean.

Speaker 3 (01:07:53):
I'm like cool. And then I just pulled a ship
up online, like now, what the fuck was he rapping about?
Let me read about it.

Speaker 7 (01:07:59):
And all the same, like in terms of like just lyrically,
they're talking about the same fucking aspirations to be better,
and you don't buy it as much because your Korean.
I don't think he came from the gutter the same
as every fucking black rapper.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
But it's coming to me. Uh. I actually I like
Sid's album.

Speaker 6 (01:08:20):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Oh my god, Why am I looking at Bill?

Speaker 6 (01:08:25):
Looking at Bill so quiet saying louder?

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
I wasn't.

Speaker 4 (01:08:30):
I was trying to debate if it came out in
twenty sixteen, seventeen, that was then Bill's sipping a lot
of tea right now. So insecurities with my jam on
net record. That shit was dope. I like the backgrounds
on that joint for what it is. It's cool, but
I still think Jack Davy should be where she is,
A could have been a contender, has been so close

(01:08:52):
to music for so long. Changed Yes, how you even
just absorb a song? Yeah, we we ruined our palace.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
It's like I ate too much good food for too long, well,
in some good ways, in some bad ways.

Speaker 4 (01:09:05):
I mean, I guess it's in the same way like
if you're seeing a comic and like you see him
killing it, you can appreciate him killing it, but on
a deeper level.

Speaker 3 (01:09:12):
You see analyzing it exactly you analyze.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
So for me, when I hear a great record, I
still I'm like, damn, this is dope, just you know,
just instinctively I feel it.

Speaker 3 (01:09:22):
But then I'm listening like damn, how do they mix
that vocal? Damn?

Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
Listen to how they did this. So it gives you
a great appreciation of it. But on the other side
of it, when you hear some bullshit, for me, it
does the same thing. You know, you can see the tricks,
you know what I mean, Like you can see here's
how they around.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
Here's an example.

Speaker 4 (01:09:37):
So all right, who's millennial of Okay, let's take Playboard CARDI.

Speaker 3 (01:09:43):
Okay, now, no clue, no clue that is I know
who he is. Like Magnolia was like.

Speaker 4 (01:09:54):
The reaction I get when I play Playboard CARDI is Magnolia.
I'll put in context twenty five years ago. It was
like when you heard the first four seconds of like
Jay Ruse, come clean.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
Magnolia. So we okay, but it's just like.

Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
But even then, it's like for me, it's like again,
it's the whole effective versus good. I played it so
many times, and I guess the elation that I get
from when I play the joint.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
I mean, have I been uh, what do you call
Stockingham syndrome? Brainwashed? What you want to come out of here?
This in New York? My thing is like I can't
tell this apart from like fifteen of the songs. All
that shit sounds the same. This ain't called No, this

(01:10:57):
is not milliy rock magnolia. I didn't know my soft
I didn't know myself.

Speaker 6 (01:11:03):
You got a rot with your mouth opere.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
No, that is my first time ever hearing. I was
hoping for my last time too. No, I think it's
like I just don't. I don't. I can't tell the
part from fifteen other songs. It sounded just like it. Yeah, no,
I did. So have we become our parents? Yes, y'all
have it sounds that way? And what?

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
But the thing is, all right, did our parents have
a point when probably? Okay, I we need bus some them,
all right?

Speaker 6 (01:11:39):
So when two live crews, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
No no, because my palate was way better than that,
all right.

Speaker 4 (01:11:45):
When the night I heard the day that I brought
Nacon millions by public, getem me, it was blasting, not
living bass.

Speaker 3 (01:11:54):
Heads or my stereo system in my room, my dad
was like, this is this is no, this is garbage.
But you can understand what you say. Am I wrong
for thinking that it was a work of art?

Speaker 8 (01:12:06):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
But but then again, the millennials after me also think
it's bulls.

Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
But to me, the difference between the two generations is
that there aren't When you listen to Public Enemy acoustically,
there weren't twelve other Enemy of the Public Tennessee.

Speaker 3 (01:12:24):
Enemy, Liberal Rhythm, the Renegade. But no, I think, and
they would get called it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:38):
The fact that you just called them a bier you
get called out for How dare you even try to
sound similar? Now that's rewarded. No, because like in our
era of hip, it was my style is better than yours.
Now the mo o is, oh I can do your
style too, There's no more, there is nothing there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
Originality is not really rewarded.

Speaker 4 (01:12:58):
It's like, oh I can do this, I can do
an R or it's on the radio stations because they
won't play anything else.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
They don't want to think too hard. I'm shocked.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
Okay, I didn't think Pandora they're great, agree with any
thing too, Like with the biers like back then, I
mean with somebody like Public Enemy. I mean that ship
requires skill to bite that, you know what I mean?
It does not require skill. I mean if I want
to make uh the gang or whatever I mean, and

(01:13:30):
those records are what they are, But that's still very
easily up. They're five minute beats, and the people that
make them are proud of the fact that they're five
minute beats. Yeah yeah, I mean the the the upper
echelon of music. Any of you guys funk with uh?
Come on, see Washington's the three hour jazz album that

(01:13:51):
because Russ Russy forty minutes.

Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
Yeah, he just put out another one. It's uh a
new one.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
Yeah, it's a new one. Differences something harmony different, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I listened to some of it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
It's good. I fuck with it. But I really like
the epic though, the three hour joint. I think I
made it. Steve. Steve made them five hours, six hours.
It's not just don't don't don't give me a copy?

Speaker 7 (01:14:14):
That what I what I've gained in like sitting with
you all though, It's like, it's so interesting how if
you're in a different prism of entertainment, like how for Bill,
like music is too noisy, so you go to TV
to escape. I feel like TV is too noisy, so
I try to go to music.

Speaker 6 (01:14:33):
Because there's so many options that you mean, like, did
you watch this watch.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
Already? Half ship? I gotta watch just on some research.

Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
So I'm already losing half of my attention span to
there's less time alloted to even watch it that I
want to enjoy, discover, and.

Speaker 6 (01:14:51):
Now you got to binge it and you can't just
catch up on the one.

Speaker 3 (01:14:53):
We got the whole, which is the only advantage because
then when I do get a moment, I want to
see it. Give me all the punisher, let me.

Speaker 6 (01:15:02):
That's funny. I'm just on that in mind Hunter.

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
I haven't. I haven't, I haven't checked funished yet. I'm
waiting on Black Mirror.

Speaker 4 (01:15:08):
They got season, not the second season, the last season,
the last one, the one from the last season, the
sands you in apparel, that one, that one, That one
was a good Black Mirror fucked me up because all
that ship could kind of happen, all of it. It's
like it's too close.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
Like this was the one where they were rating people
that actually about to happen.

Speaker 6 (01:15:29):
Yeah, yeah, fucking Bitcoin, mister Robots, Sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Mister rob Robot. Mister Robot still got to get on it. Man,
And you did your post on faith then I got
lost into it.

Speaker 6 (01:15:41):
Yeah it's good.

Speaker 4 (01:15:42):
I enjoyed, mister Robert, But you're saying that as a
person on television. You don't see how awesome television is now.
I see awesome television, but there is so much awesome
television that I can't get to it all that some shows,
I'm just straight up like, you know what, fuck it?

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
I give you a perfect example. I love Arrow.

Speaker 4 (01:16:05):
I ain't no real superhero procedural, ass dude. I think
most superhero procedurals it's just you just fucking cash in
the check and you're gonna stream it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
But see that's table I'm talking to. This is c W.

Speaker 4 (01:16:17):
Arrow.

Speaker 3 (01:16:18):
C W.

Speaker 4 (01:16:19):
I sucked around and missed a season and blink an
Arrow is now six seasons.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
And the flash spun off of the Arrow and then
legends of that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:29):
We're talking literally eighty episodes of fucking television across all titles,
and I just I can't fucking fuck so I'm done
with Arrow.

Speaker 3 (01:16:39):
Is there gonna be like a is it gonna bubble?
It's gonna burst with television because there is a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
There back of the day, like if you missed one
episode of Dallas at Dynasty, like it wasn't an end
of your world. Are you saying now that we have
to be super completest and watch every episode of well,
because a lot of well, back in the day, the
story's storylines weren't always continuous, especially with like sitcoms and
ship so I'm one always continuous and that was the
way we watched it was different. You had to wait

(01:17:06):
week the week.

Speaker 6 (01:17:07):
Now now you don't.

Speaker 8 (01:17:08):
And now it's funny because I'm like, meanwhile, on Netflix,
you gotta watch Luke Case. Then you want to watch
Jessica Jones, then you want to watch The Defenders, then watch.

Speaker 4 (01:17:17):
Yeah, and then you just go fucking I'm going to bed,
Like you just just sit there, like I think there's
three shows that I watch religious religiously, and then the
rest of them is I'll just catch it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:27):
The other two god, well, broad City just ended? What
is it? What was the other one? That's true? You
watched Orange and New Black? I watched it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
I stopped her the second season. Actually, I'm actually still
watching Scandal, but that's all that's good network drama. I
just I'm watching it because I just want to see
how it ends.

Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
And this is a lot evil Olivia. I don't know
if I don't know if I like it either, but
I've stuck with it this long. I just that's how I.

Speaker 6 (01:17:57):
Feel that it might be the jump to Sharks season.

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
No jumps show was seasons ago.

Speaker 4 (01:18:04):
Like, I'm amazed that they find new ways to make
Stevie Wonder's song still newscandal like it. Look, I'm not
trying to have Sean to Cindy the whole Illuminati after
but I you know, man, the music clearance person is
so for that and get away on that show? Man,

(01:18:27):
It's like, I stop, how I get away with Murder?
I didn't finish it was too I mean I watched.
I'm not lying to you. I watched like forty shows.

Speaker 3 (01:18:39):
I don't know how. You know how people ask like,
how do you have nineteen jobs? I'm amazed that.

Speaker 4 (01:18:43):
I'm actually keeping up actively with forty television shows.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
I don't know how you do that. I have to.

Speaker 4 (01:18:51):
Just traveling and just you know, I find time. But yeah,
for some reason, I know that How to Get a
Murder is quality TV. But it's just a wait, who
said that?

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
That was me?

Speaker 4 (01:19:06):
No, because I know a lot of people that are
usually there into the Shonda world that aren't really into
How to get Away with Murder?

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
I never got into it.

Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
It's good there's some payoff there, but I I just
think I don't have I don't have enough time for
I traded. I traded in Murder for Queen Sugar and
Green que Sugar Watch. I did some trade in and
I watched Queen Sugar.

Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
Had to give up the numbers. I couldn't get into it,
but see.

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
That you should go go to Queen Sugar, like, give
it five episodes. I think I think I got three
episodes in then I stopped. If you have it, if
it's a slow bill, you just like the season there?

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
Okay, wait, the thing with the Wire. It took me
like ten years to watch The Wire.

Speaker 7 (01:19:54):
You ever watched there. I've watched The Wire with someone
who's watching it for the first time and I have
to literally go, trust me, stick with Season two is
the hardest thing season for anybody.

Speaker 6 (01:20:04):
That's the Europeans.

Speaker 4 (01:20:05):
And but that's the most important because in five that's
how the don't get in the city, so you meet
the Greek and the whole watch. But it's certain shows
I like watching, even though I know it's junk food
and I know and I can see the tricks from
a mile away. The same with the fucking Audio ship.
For me, my ship is Chicago Fire and lethal weapon.

Speaker 8 (01:20:26):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
You know what. After the first season, it was good
fun basically shoot him up, catch the criminal. Whoo we
almost died. Good episode critic, it's funny, it's fucking.

Speaker 6 (01:20:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:20:44):
And I can't even think of new Riggs name, but
he's a fucking great agree from Alabama.

Speaker 3 (01:20:50):
Riggs name like Riggs.

Speaker 4 (01:20:53):
He don't hit it with that Danny Glover base though
he ain't. He ain't Danny Glover with it. But it
honors the movie and it's I ain't. It ain't gonna
never get nominated for an Emmy for writing, but it
is a fun, solid show. It'll be on ten fucking
years as long as they want to do.

Speaker 3 (01:21:10):
I know it was still on. I didn't. It's like
come out like I stopped watching Empire. Like Empire, oh dog,
I left after the Prince episode. Here's the thing. I
love the first episode. I love your Family.

Speaker 7 (01:21:23):
But Empire is one of those shows where if you
don't because it's a twenty episode drama and it's not procedural,
so if you miss three episode, it's who is this nigga?

Speaker 3 (01:21:35):
And where? Yeah, my girlfriend watches Star, so I watched.

Speaker 6 (01:21:41):
I was scared to mention it was my girlfriend watching Star.
I sit on the couch.

Speaker 3 (01:21:45):
That cool. I watched it, and then it'd be three fuckers.
I'll be like, who the is that? Oh? She from Empire.
This is a crossover episode.

Speaker 8 (01:21:52):
Half of a New Edition movie is cast on Star
and you want to like support, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
And I watched the Ship and I'm just like, God,
damn it, I want to follow, But I got this right.
Back to Arrow forty episodes.

Speaker 6 (01:22:04):
Speaking of good TV twenty seventeen New Edition.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
Movie, Oh I love it. It was good. The best
things Happened has changed. Shout out to Barry. I'm sorry.
Here's the here's the downside to the New Edition. It
has inspired a slew biopics that do not have the
budget or the music clearances or the acting prowess with

(01:22:29):
the talents of the people that pulled off the New
Edition is on his way?

Speaker 6 (01:22:34):
What are you talking about, d H.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
We'll see. That's I'm excited. We'll see.

Speaker 6 (01:22:44):
So you like the TLS.

Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
You sit down with the Bobby Christina movie. When that
come out, I was like, wait, there's a Bobbys Lifetime. No,
it's t Yeah, I think it's somewhere.

Speaker 6 (01:23:03):
But the white though.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
It was the lifetime.

Speaker 6 (01:23:08):
One you like that, my girl?

Speaker 3 (01:23:13):
Which one was that?

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
It was fine? Next time it was fine? Was it
as good as the new edition? Fucking ya?

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
Yeah? Was it as good as the new edition? Like
this is?

Speaker 6 (01:23:23):
That was all? But that that was standard? Was new edition?

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
Was new edition?

Speaker 7 (01:23:27):
Showed that there's a audience and retro the same reason
we got all these retro nineties hip hop tours that
are starting to bubble up and escape going back out.
But I just feel like the stories need to be
done properly and don't just rush me some bullshit to
the screen because you know, listen, listen man. It was
one of those movies I saw like I saw like

(01:23:48):
all the people like trashing it, and I was like,
and I walked in, like, damn, this is gonna be bad.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
So then I walked in my wife we saw it,
and I was just we was watching, like, yo, this
is because they trashed right.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
But but the next night I saw it was like
two nights later, we was at home and straight out
and came on HBO and we watched and it was
just like, yeah, that was tracked. You haven't seen Trayla
coming before. I mean, I hadn't seen it before, but respect,
I was like, oh god, yeah, that ship was bad.
It was it was the pop movie was like mister Robot,

(01:24:20):
I like.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
Can I ask a question? Though? Oh good, no, no, no,
no no. I was just gonna give a plug for
Smith on show time. You know what everyone came for?

Speaker 4 (01:24:30):
Smells funny. Here's this step mother like, did you have
single mom?

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
Sing? Did he describe it to me as smelf? As
a single one woman? Shameless? There you go? Just had.

Speaker 6 (01:24:45):
By herself?

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
You watched I don't watch it.

Speaker 6 (01:24:50):
I watched every episode.

Speaker 3 (01:24:52):
I love.

Speaker 6 (01:24:54):
I love to see white people in situations like that.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
Broke white people struggle, struggling. It's like white people of Bruceter's.

Speaker 6 (01:25:03):
It's money almost the same way about.

Speaker 8 (01:25:06):
But you know what, the fact that they put back
with Shameless look like damn white ladies winning.

Speaker 3 (01:25:11):
But that was wow. Oh Steve, you love television? Do you?
I mean? You know me? I used to what do
you right now? I'm watching the Crown? What's yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:25:28):
And uh?

Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
I like my guilty pleasure this year was Riverdale. I
thought that, oh.

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
That's one of my forty I watched on Netflix to
catch up. Yeah, what's the show. Everybody's caping for the
child is just.

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
Like, listen, I have a question about the mayor. I
got one, I got okay, the mayor.

Speaker 4 (01:25:48):
I have a question about the mayor because all the
ratings are off the chain. It's but again, it's like
Shyraq also got.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
An eighty five and rotten tomatoes. That shouldn't have.

Speaker 4 (01:25:59):
Happened, right, And I almost feel like when I saw
Cyrat get a eighty five then I was like, Oh,
you're afraid to You're you're afraid to criticize it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:08):
So Beau, give me a ten.

Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Let's get out of here. Have we watched I'm still sticking.

Speaker 3 (01:26:15):
To the mayor.

Speaker 4 (01:26:16):
I'm sticking to the mayor because I'm a complete its.
I'm gonna finish the season, right. They got like a
three have you guys episode back in? Yeah, I finish,
gona have it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:24):
Have you watched it? And he's gonna have it? No? No, no,
the mayor. No, no, I watched the pilot. I watched
the pilot and you're not aboard. No, not really, but
you know, most pilots suck. Yeah I know that.

Speaker 4 (01:26:35):
I know that, and usually to me, it was it
was just the PRIMI the premises didn't really it felt
real eighties. It felt like it felt like wrapping Mayor. Yeah,
I don't want to watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:46):
Yeah, like didn't we see that with Kwime kirk Patrick
didn't have I don't think I want to see that show.

Speaker 8 (01:26:56):
The show what they took the Kelsey Grammar show off.
That was a really good show. It was called The
Mayor on Stars. It was I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:27:04):
Kelsey Grammar had another show besides Fray.

Speaker 6 (01:27:06):
It was called The Man. Yeah, he was the Mayor
of Chicago. It was on Stars.

Speaker 3 (01:27:11):
The Boss. Yeah, I remember seeing that.

Speaker 7 (01:27:13):
I didn't watch It was a sinister It was like
House of Cars, but like as a mayor before.

Speaker 6 (01:27:17):
House of Cars.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
Yeah, damn, you never watched You go deep sometimes, like
these cuts are deep. The Ozarks was good too, that
what's what's the deal with it? What's the deal with Like?
What's it about? He only gets pulled into the dope game? Yeah,
memo I couldn't like like walk White Killed.

Speaker 4 (01:27:40):
The whole sub genre of white Man goes into scary
underworld with niggas like we bring yeah breaking Yeah, I'm
good with.

Speaker 6 (01:27:49):
That, but it's a different industry. He's the one that
looks like the money, hetches the money.

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
It's the same. I mean he a drug dealer. Nonetheless, like.

Speaker 6 (01:27:58):
Steve, it's a good show.

Speaker 4 (01:27:59):
Since we're there, since I was such a stand for
Breaking Bad, I got I'm struggling with Saul and I
know everyone still it's still trending.

Speaker 3 (01:28:10):
Have you are you? Are you current on it? I'm
on season two. I'm hanging on. Season two is tough.
Season three is the better call? So that there's an episode?
Was the episode the one you saying? Season two is
like the Russian season of like That Bad.

Speaker 4 (01:28:29):
But yeah, but you're still on those lines. Yeah, I
need some magic that happened season three. On season three,
they start bringing you start seeing more a lot more
Breaking Bad.

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
String shows up. You know, you're actually introduced to the
Saul Goodman.

Speaker 4 (01:28:42):
Character and you start seeing the how he falls into
what he became and Breaking Bad and the way they
wrote the art, the relationship between him and his brother.

Speaker 3 (01:28:50):
Yes, oh man, I forgot about it. That's string. That
ship is hard, but you got just for that alone.
You gotta watch that.

Speaker 4 (01:28:58):
I forgot what the name of the so then y'all
know the one the court one court nigga, Oh god, yo.

Speaker 3 (01:29:05):
I think I'm back. My My surprise discovery this year
was Gomora that ship. What's it's on? It's on? Does
it come on Sundance? I think it comes on Sundance.
So Gomorra is it's a it's a true story and
it's based on like the crime, the Camorra crime family

(01:29:26):
in Italy.

Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
So best way I can describe it, it's basically the Wire,
but with no misbeats. Like so if a nigga does
something in the opening and you be like damn, like
this nigga deserve to die, like in the Wire, he
wouldn't die to like episode nine, Gomora, that niggas dead
in the next.

Speaker 3 (01:29:44):
Twenty minutes like that. Sh It's so is it a period?

Speaker 4 (01:29:49):
It takes place like in current day in Italy and so,
and it's based on the book the name of the
book is I think it's called It's on Sundance. But
you can I think you can probably you know what
it's on that flicks. The first two seasons are on
Netflix and the more it's like super brutal, super violent,
but like the story is just so fucking it's it's

(01:30:10):
no way to beat. It's just boo boom boom bom
bom bom boom, and like that shit is crazy. I
watched it because it is it's subtitles, so I got
into it. I was one day the guys were in
my kitchen. They were doing some work in my kitchen
and it was loud, noisy, so I couldn't watch nothing
that I had to listen to me watch, Let me
just watch. Yeah, man, Speaking of that whle, I didn't

(01:30:37):
watch the latest Narcos.

Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. It was it was fine.

Speaker 7 (01:30:46):
I mean, we marry ourselves to the creator said that
it's the story of Cocaine, not the story of Pablo.
So the story of Cocaine continues beyond and to that
whole point. About the British ship season three, I thought
they I thought halfway through.

Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
They're gonna I see what they're doing. They said, this
up it is season four. This dude, No, they fucking
tied that ship up in a bow. Goddamn it.

Speaker 7 (01:31:10):
Season four is some whole new other ship that will
eventually bring us up to l Chapel, like to the whole.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
So it's like as they follow it all. Speaking of
TV shows about cocaine, did anybody watch snow Fall. Yes
I did. I was kind of this one. Talk to me.
It's John Singleton and he's telling the story cocaine in
the eighties and how crack cocaine came to be.

Speaker 7 (01:31:38):
So that is an interesting backstory that I didn't know
anything about. But it's three separate characters you're watching. You're
watching three separate shows concurrently, and eventually by the finale,
they show you how they all converge together.

Speaker 3 (01:31:56):
So it's one of them. You gotta stick with it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:57):
Because I was like, from gave a fu of two
of the three storylines, the storylines I didn't give a
fuck about.

Speaker 3 (01:32:06):
I'm trying to remember the three services. It was the Mexicans,
the black Kid, you got the black Kid, Black.

Speaker 4 (01:32:12):
Kid, the Mexican wrestling niggas, and that's the third one,
that's the nigga I give no fun about it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:18):
Yes, yeah, And that was when I was like, fuck you.
But but it came together, didn't together.

Speaker 4 (01:32:24):
I didn't finish the season, so it was it's worth finishing.
It comes together. But now let's see what season two
now that we have them ultic I thought it would
have been a better show if they would have just
focused on the Black Kids and then see how watch
it go out? You know what I'm saying, like to
see Okay, you start here, but now I'm fucking with
the Mexicans. Now it goes up to the c I
A but trying to introduce all those stories at first,

(01:32:46):
there's a lot of ship that I watched off the
respect of the creators, and I go, all right, I
respect your body of work. I'm gonna give you ten
episodes and I'm gonna go ahead.

Speaker 10 (01:32:55):
And.

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
Speaking of already, let's go to let's go to John's counterpart.

Speaker 4 (01:33:02):
She's got a bike, Lee, Okay, she's gotta. Now I
have to say that I am torn. I'm torn. And
it's like I'm at the fifty yard line and do
I step to the to the right, make it fifty
one forty nine or do I make it forty nine
fifty one.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
So it's like.

Speaker 4 (01:33:25):
I've only seen two episodes, and a lot of that
was mirroring the film, so I feel like I haven't
seen it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:32):
You gotta.

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
The thing is is like, do you know at the
inception if you're going to like like I want to
like it. So I'm already there, like all right, Spike,
I want to like this. I don't think Spike Lee's
method of storytelling is suited for episodic television.

Speaker 3 (01:33:49):
Okay, talk to me. That's it. That's a critique. That's
it sounds like a sound what I thought it was.

Speaker 4 (01:33:54):
It's funny you said that. I kind of felt the
opposite way. I thought that watching it all in one dose,
I didn't do that, so you didn't. We watched it
took them to the head. The thing I couldn't stop
watching it. I watched that I like needed to break
because it's just Spike Lee. So it's going to be
a lot of in your face, over the head, you
know type, you know, beating. But I can consider that

(01:34:15):
like little breaks like the album covers and no, no, no,
I'm talking about just like just just the way Spike
Lee tells stories, like it's a lot of very obvious
overt in your faces. This is me, Spike Lee. I
have a message to tell you through these characters. These
aren't real people. This is just me spotting my views
that you you know. But that's kind of his whole

(01:34:37):
complete But so that's what I'm saying. Spike Lee's method
of storytelling, I don't think it's suited for we like
to see, in a perfect world, how would we improve
She's got to have.

Speaker 3 (01:34:48):
I think he's gonna have to get some younger writers
in the room and let other people direct it. He
directed every episode. He didn't he directed every episode, So
I liked.

Speaker 4 (01:35:00):
I like that's the thing I feel like Spike, like
Spike and the camera work is such a beautiful work
of art.

Speaker 3 (01:35:07):
Like I'm used to it. His his his DPS. I
mean it's not really his camera, yeah, but it's still his.

Speaker 8 (01:35:15):
All the things y'all say. When Spike has already left
the building. You know, we interviewed him this year, Roy, Hey,
how you doing.

Speaker 3 (01:35:20):
It was before we seen something. We talked about you
you talked about she hate me and in his face.
Yeah and yes, yeah, like we were semi critical.

Speaker 6 (01:35:35):
Don't know we were, we were you were good.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
Yeah, I'm just saying that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:38):
Okay, So building like the album cover ideas, Yeah, I
hated album as a musician.

Speaker 3 (01:35:43):
I love the idea. I just thought it was it
was too distracting.

Speaker 4 (01:35:46):
And you didn't like the pedia, like super specific, like
what the album cover is so blurry that you were
like they didn't even use the right you like the.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
The straight when they compilation, I was they could have
easily found like the I mean, they found every other
image off of discock, so just grab you know, the
twelve so I mean Bill.

Speaker 4 (01:36:07):
The first thing Bill was mad at was the fact
that some of the PDFs that they used blurry or
super blurry. I'm sure Netflix gave him a budget that
he could have gotten account from whoever's doing you got
somebody actually take the record they could have gotten too,
like the Universal's B to B site and downloaded high
quality images off the ship. Like this is Spike for

(01:36:28):
next season that he should just have people holding someone
with the car Quest Jazz video where they just hold
like the.

Speaker 6 (01:36:35):
Cards or whatever, like Yo, can I ask you a question?

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
You don't like those QT things? And Spike? Why? Bill? Why? No?
It's just not it takes the viewer out of the story.

Speaker 6 (01:36:46):
Did y'all watch that, Spike? Did y'all.

Speaker 8 (01:36:51):
All were watching this? Did you feel like you needed
to go back to the movie because I want to
just kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:36:56):
I haven't seen the movie in a long time, and
I'm scared to go back and watch. I don't want
to go.

Speaker 8 (01:36:59):
Back to the movie because there were moments when I
was like, wait a minute. I was looking at like
the character Greer and I was like, wait a minute,
grew was not that of naxious and kind of feminine.

Speaker 3 (01:37:08):
But he but he was kind of like he was
a pretty boy.

Speaker 4 (01:37:11):
But this nigga Greer is like borderline gay, like like
he could be right yea, I mean it go either way.

Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
Like I don't think he's good. I just think he'd
just rather marry himself, like the narcissist original Green was
a narcisst.

Speaker 4 (01:37:25):
But when it's taking in twenty seventeen, like that's narcissism,
is is rewarded narcissism and social medium.

Speaker 3 (01:37:32):
Yeah yeah, yeah. And that's the thing too with the
problem I think he's gonna have with the show. I
mean I loved it. I mean I thought it was
I really enjoyed it. I hate it.

Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
I didn't hate it, Yeah, I enjoyed it. But I
think the problem is going to be how do you
make this relevant to now? Because in eighty eight it
was like Noah thought of a Nola Darling was like, oh,
this girl is everywhere. Now nigga, nig whole shit is rewarded. Now,
that's just the way of life.

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
And I'm not calling Nola Hope, but I'm just saying what.

Speaker 8 (01:37:58):
You call her right there, says I'm just saying that
things haven't changed because she's not supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (01:38:05):
I didn't say nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:38:06):
About I still felt like I was watching uh an
older conservatives view of what black feminism is. And you know,
that's sort of the thing. And plus it's like with
brilliant stuff like Atlanta, things competing with it, and y'all

(01:38:28):
know how much I hate don Don Glover's music, but
Atlanta's brilliant, and.

Speaker 3 (01:38:32):
It's like, that's the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:38:33):
It's like if I didn't see Atlanta and dear white people,
and I'll you know, I still ride for Insecure.

Speaker 6 (01:38:42):
But I wrestled.

Speaker 8 (01:38:42):
You know, it's funny because I wrestled with the storyline,
the part about the assault on the street, right Like,
I had a moment myself where I went.

Speaker 6 (01:38:51):
He just grabbed her, what's the big deal? Why is
she tripping? Why does she need to do all this stuff?

Speaker 4 (01:38:55):
I think he did that because he that's still him
trying to tone from the rape scene.

Speaker 8 (01:39:00):
But I also had to, as a woman, and especially
in the current climate, go, who am I to say
that that's not acted right right, Like I had to
have that whole moment with myself too, So I don't know,
maybe when you're talking about like the way he.

Speaker 4 (01:39:13):
Kind of came over, it was kind of starling, like
I probably would have had the same reaction. Yeah, yeah,
because it was it wasn't wasn't it? Well no, no, no,
I'm thinking of the guy that when she was putting
up the posters and came.

Speaker 6 (01:39:24):
Up by this is the guy.

Speaker 3 (01:39:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:39:26):
First, but even in having that conversation with my mother
after we both watched that scene, like my mom was
kind of even like, I mean, you know, we would
have just fought back, we would have did it.

Speaker 6 (01:39:33):
And I was like, you know, mommy, this is what
it is.

Speaker 8 (01:39:36):
Culture is starting to end, and I think we're starting
to witness that, like maybe the way we used to
handle things is not the way that we're going.

Speaker 3 (01:39:41):
I don't think that's going I don't think we're gonna
see that with black women though.

Speaker 8 (01:39:44):
I mean, I mean if white women do it first
and they say, we can say go and then you know,
we'll pick out the thing and we'll you.

Speaker 3 (01:39:50):
Know, we'll go, Am I only person in here that
still loves power?

Speaker 6 (01:39:55):
No, I like Power. I love.

Speaker 3 (01:39:59):
I love the ship.

Speaker 4 (01:40:00):
It's a different type of black show to me because
I know that there. I feel like black shows that
are ruded are connected to reality. There's more of a
it's like wine and you judge it the way you
do wine, where Power is just fucking whiskey. Yeah, but
if it's a blacks show, Atlanta insecure, we must pontificate
on this is just a fucking dope boy who prosecute.

Speaker 8 (01:40:26):
Old because he got his sister killed, because he's a
dumb motherfuckeriler.

Speaker 4 (01:40:29):
No spoiler alerts, spoiler I see it, but just for
our listeners out there too late now. But okay, speaking
of which, can we say? Can we say that Blackish
is now the official.

Speaker 3 (01:40:53):
Black bull black people bullhorn. I try to figure out
what what's more cultural important?

Speaker 4 (01:41:02):
And then and then I figure and then then I
figured that, oh Cosby was the first, I guess the
first uh not I'll say dog whistle of see we
can be civilized or that that sort of thing. It
was like, oh, well, that was the some of my

(01:41:22):
best friends or black show. I mean, but because I
grew up watching it, it means a lot to me
emotionally and We've had many a guests on the show
that says that, hey, the Huxtables were my family too,
so I can't just totally dismiss it. But I mean
there's never been a show like Blackish that is tackled

(01:41:45):
like real what it means to be black and what
it's like. First of all, are only black people watching Blackish?
Like is this is this a water cooler moment?

Speaker 3 (01:41:56):
It's got It's plenty of white people watching that show
be on the air. Yeah, I've been, I've been watching it.
I mean, first of all, my kids watch Blackest, like
my mom wat Yeah, my mom doesn't watch anything that
isn't about Jesus, so I watch it with them.

Speaker 4 (01:42:15):
But like the thing I'm kind of starting to see
in that, you know, first off, anytime a baby comes
on the show, that's immediately kind of jumped struck moment.
So I get kind of their name, Sam, the baby's
name is Davante. Yeah, it was a whole episode about it. Okay,
I missed that.

Speaker 6 (01:42:30):
I didn't because he wanted to keep it black.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
And keep it real black.

Speaker 4 (01:42:34):
Yeah, but it's like every show is kind of like
Anthony Anderson is like the mouthpiece for like how you
were saying, like his characters hot Spike's characters just feel
like vehicles for his views and the Anderson's character it's
kind of starting to feel like that. To me, it's
like where he's the guy that's starting to feel too
uh kind of pre common uh, Ernest, No, not proper

(01:42:57):
down Earnest.

Speaker 3 (01:42:58):
It's to Ernest. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, very yeah. To me,
it's kind of like that.

Speaker 7 (01:43:07):
I would have shunned the cosmic comparisons early on, but
then as the show has progressed, it's definitely been that,
even right down to Zoe.

Speaker 3 (01:43:17):
I'm sorry, y'all. Shahiti spinoff Black.

Speaker 7 (01:43:22):
Different World, Like it's to show the black college experience
of what it's like to be a black I don't
know what from the previews, I assume she's at a
white school and then she's a black person at a
white school. Otherwise she's at the nicest goddamn black college.

Speaker 8 (01:43:39):
That i've.

Speaker 3 (01:43:43):
Some of them rooms. I'm like, that ain't no black college.

Speaker 4 (01:43:45):
But even now, and you're from you find the South
like me, so you know black college is now is
not what it used to be. I was from the family.
I was furious, you motherfuckers got old as ship brou
was ninety six to oh one.

Speaker 3 (01:44:02):
So you were there when COmON got arrested for theodoran no,
I miss I missed Common two years when.

Speaker 4 (01:44:12):
He his freshman year. I think he got arrested for
it steal Theodore. I thought, you like he was doing the.

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
Show you no back when that nigga was an undergrad
getting lot to tried out.

Speaker 6 (01:44:26):
He got out.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
Well, he only went for one year.

Speaker 4 (01:44:28):
But I think dead the story about well, let Common
tell I thought that was comment. I thought that was
in the press already.

Speaker 3 (01:44:38):
It was. Yeah, but yeah, I like, she's got to
have it before we leave.

Speaker 10 (01:44:46):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:44:47):
What's our verdict on season two of of Insecure? I
liked it.

Speaker 7 (01:44:53):
I enjoyed it. But what annoys me about Insecure is
how some people receive it. So it's the only show
in which I find some of the fans of the
show annoying because people can't agree that both Lisa.

Speaker 3 (01:45:07):
And Lawrence are horrible. They're both horrible, thank you they are.
They've both done irredeemable ship. It's almost like all up
now as a member, Lawrence time, what did you do
that was irredeemable? Tsha, there you go? How is that irredeemable.
Well that's break up, no official breakup, that was a
pre breakup breakup.

Speaker 4 (01:45:31):
I mean, you know he didn't you know, you went
to the barbecue with the you know you don't want
to take seriously, that's some dirty they don't. You don't
behave as a boyfriend with somebody that you know, it's
just pussy. And I don't think that that was irredeemable.
I think that was him just being a human being, Like,
that's just human being. He left that barbecue without saying goodbye.

Speaker 3 (01:45:51):
Right, Yes, that was fun. Yeah, yeah, he come back.
It was his problem is that he was he was
the proverbial nice guy like he wasn't. They don't know how.

Speaker 4 (01:46:08):
It was the nice that I'm putting in quotation marks
a nice guy like you don't think.

Speaker 3 (01:46:12):
Okay, he wasn't the gangster lives, He wasn't in her building.
But you know, it's the only show I watched that
I won't talk with people about.

Speaker 7 (01:46:20):
I just know what's gonna it's started talking to a
Trump motherfuckers that I can't change your mind about how
you feel about.

Speaker 3 (01:46:28):
But I think that, But I think that's the mark
of a great that much I don't know what what.
I don't know how you have time to watch all
this fucking television? What the fuck your work? Yeah? Sometimes
you know.

Speaker 6 (01:46:45):
Which show is insecure?

Speaker 4 (01:46:49):
The one with only for black women la time. I
don't think he was irritable. I think he was just
a flawed person, like East flawed. And I like the
way they brought the them having that.

Speaker 3 (01:47:00):
They deserve the end.

Speaker 7 (01:47:00):
They're so flued, they deserve each other and they earned
a powerful fucking soul and his brother type moment of
at the end, and.

Speaker 6 (01:47:16):
It is something for a woman who has a nurture
nurtured India, and that he leave and he gets a
better situation. There was like a whole there's layers in that, so.

Speaker 3 (01:47:25):
You feel so you're basically saying that it wasn't ship
okay because you said he went to a better situation.

Speaker 8 (01:47:31):
No, I say, I say he was going to a
better situation. I was talking about his professional career and
ship like time.

Speaker 3 (01:47:36):
Out because that job didn't work out.

Speaker 4 (01:47:38):
Here's the thing, though, sometimes I I find problems with
people that watch television that hate the characters so much
that you don't acknowledge the fact that they pulled an
emotional view now different. I don't spend time with people

(01:47:59):
I don't like. But the thing is is that, uh wow,
I mean no, no, no, There's there's some villains I
cheer for, like like Power.

Speaker 3 (01:48:10):
Yeah a villain, I mean he was, but there were
still you still like there were still things to like about,
something redeemable in his choices. But the thing is is
that there was still hold up, hold up and hold on.
That's a Paul.

Speaker 10 (01:48:22):
Okay, you can understand, you can under irredeemable. Why you
can understand the logic, but isn't the kid is dug.

Speaker 3 (01:48:33):
I'm just trying to my family.

Speaker 4 (01:48:37):
Look, I'm just again like if like most of the
characters on Power, our villain our villains, and I kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:48:48):
I didn't like it. I don't think it'd be your cup. Yeah,
already know it's he's a great actor. But that's the snake.
Most rappers are rappers are. What I'm saying is that.

Speaker 4 (01:49:02):
I mean I can see if they pulled no emotions
out of you, like say, uh no, I get what
you're saying. Yeah, okay, say Jeff from Curby your enthusiasm,
like he doesn't pull any rage out of me?

Speaker 3 (01:49:13):
Or I can't watch it's too uncomfortable.

Speaker 6 (01:49:16):
Oh, I love this season.

Speaker 3 (01:49:20):
I can't watch it ever I've seen it. I can't
watch it. It's uncomfortable, uncomfortable.

Speaker 4 (01:49:26):
And loveby enthusiast, uncomfortable, like I watched the ship that
Larry gets himself FROMTOHI late, I mean, but have to
turn away.

Speaker 3 (01:49:33):
I can't watch it. Well, I was given a hypothetical thing.
But what I'm saying is that it is.

Speaker 4 (01:49:39):
If you hate the characters so much, doesn't that mean
that they did a good job at drawing you in?
Maybe it means they did too good of a job.
But like I said, you're still watching it, not anymore,
you're not watching watch season three. No, I don't care.
I don't care anymore. I'm still rhynd large.

Speaker 3 (01:49:55):
They get a season to fix it. If you didn't
like it, that's always I gave him season two. That
was it. Season two is season one? You're talking about
Laurence Fishburn. No, we're done with so to that point
quest I did.

Speaker 4 (01:50:11):
That's where like, wait side question before you make your point, Okay,
And I'm gonna ask you, yes, you're representing all white people. Great,
with the exception of the Cosby Show. Is the general
feeling for black shows that are on television? And I
know you're gonna be like, I don't watch the only
watch three shows. But is the general feeling like with

(01:50:32):
movies and black shows and black television whatever, black movies that,
oh well, that's not for me.

Speaker 3 (01:50:39):
I don't you know. Do you see how television? Do
you watch Fresh off the Boat? Yes? I do. I
didn't watch First Off the Boat?

Speaker 6 (01:50:46):
Actually want to hear that answer?

Speaker 3 (01:50:48):
No? No, And I don't mean like to put you on.
Do you feel that shows are just like this not
gonna relate to you? So I'm coold with it.

Speaker 9 (01:50:57):
I guess it depends on the on the show, show,
on the quality of the show, you know, like, because
the thing is there's some I was tuning in back
in the day to good times in the Jefferson's as
much as you were Black show.

Speaker 3 (01:51:10):
Now, But I mean, I don't watch any Have you
ever watched Blackish? No?

Speaker 4 (01:51:16):
No, I haven't watched The Cosby Show. Yeah, it is
probably more important.

Speaker 6 (01:51:23):
Don't do that, don't do that, don't do that, don't
do that, do that, don't do that.

Speaker 8 (01:51:28):
It wouldn't be no blackist if it wasent for no
Cosby Show, So how could it be more important?

Speaker 6 (01:51:32):
I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (01:51:34):
That's what he was crazy, is that you have to
like literally jump twenty years from one to the next
and maybe you stop off at Martin for free seasons.

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):
Yeah, the whitest show.

Speaker 6 (01:51:47):
But when it comes to good jobs though, I mean,
he was the elevator operator at the.

Speaker 3 (01:51:52):
End of the day. Okay, I'm not trying to say
that sentence. But they're.

Speaker 9 (01:51:59):
I don't know, it's like, what's it seems like they're trying,
Like I haven't seen a full episode, but from clips
I've seen, it seems like they're trying too hard to
be the New Cosby Show or the Cosby Show of today.
Like it just seems like very transparent in that way,
like Okay, we're going to try and get across this message.

Speaker 3 (01:52:15):
We're gonna try and you know, like it's very message message.

Speaker 6 (01:52:20):
You know that should be bombed. No, they make cartoons
and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:52:26):
We really know what Juneteenth was. If it weren't for
that episode, we would know what Juneteenth was.

Speaker 3 (01:52:31):
No, it was. No. I can applaud what they're doing,
and I mean, and I still again, it's a too earnest.
It feels like it needs to be.

Speaker 4 (01:52:38):
Though maybe it needs to be. It's too earnest for us.
Everything on that show isn't for us. It's pulling back
the cursions.

Speaker 6 (01:52:48):
Wait.

Speaker 4 (01:52:48):
But the postpartum depression episode was a good example of
you know something that I learned, you know what I mean? Like,
I don't think she I never thought the day that
Tracy Ellen's character was going to go off on Jennifer
Jennifer's character and deal with postpartum depression and what I

(01:53:11):
don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:53:11):
I'm just saying that a lot of.

Speaker 4 (01:53:16):
I find a lot with with with there's a lot
of our secrets that we're afraid to let America.

Speaker 3 (01:53:23):
But what America know about what.

Speaker 7 (01:53:26):
I appreciate about Blackish as a program. And I don't
know if they set out to do this every year
when they break all the stories, but every episode.

Speaker 4 (01:53:33):
Isn't black any black blackness and black dog, black Afro
pick black. Like there's some episodes where it's some very
benign shit, it's just dressed for a holiday park, and
then the next episode is the nod where he's trying
to teach Junior how to nod it other black people.
And it's subtle, but it's explained in a way where
I think it's digestible for But I guess my bigger

(01:53:56):
point is that, you know, for me, when critically acclaim
ship comes out, like I'm looking at rotten tomatoes, I'm
you know, I want to see what the most critically
claimed shit is. But I almost feel like with white
people sometimes it's almost like, well, they don't want to
know about.

Speaker 6 (01:54:17):
They want to qualities, they don't want to know.

Speaker 4 (01:54:20):
I mean, That's what I'm saying, what's going on. But
I mean, but we can say the same thing about that.
Like for me, it's like it's certain white ship. It's
just too white for me.

Speaker 8 (01:54:33):
Yeah, but we still know the different difference between that is.
But we are very well burst in the white world.
But that's because we have to be there, right, But
that's regardless, we're burst.

Speaker 9 (01:54:45):
So I'm just saying, like they, what other show besides Blackish,
you know, are there is an example of what you're
talking about.

Speaker 7 (01:54:52):
I would say it's not a sitcom. It's unscripted but
hood adjacent on Comedy Central with James Davis. So brother,
it's a half hour in scripted show where he comes
down and explaining to a particular concept like today, I'm
gonna show you how black people fuck with golf. And
so then he goes to a golf course in Inglewood
and shows this young black golf prodigy who you probably

(01:55:14):
would have never met in any other capacity, and then
he talks to black men who fuck with golf and
he just explains it because of Tiger Woods.

Speaker 4 (01:55:22):
Look at all of this shit that has happened. And
if you read the reviews on Hood to Jason White
people who wrote reviews of that show when it first premiered,
it was all from a place of being.

Speaker 3 (01:55:32):
Voyeuristic about black culture. And I think that's part of
what Blackish does for that viewership on ABC, because you
can't sell no hardcore straight up on apologetic black man
like I would love to see and we'll never know,
but I would love to have seen what the pitch
was for Insecure for a network. And I don't know

(01:55:53):
where Easter Ray took the show before it landed on HBO,
but I would just be curreus. I would love to
just see some of them girls. You could be like,
were just hanging out black girls, black girls. You know
it's better, But how did these shows? You know?

Speaker 9 (01:56:14):
I brought up Good Times, Samford and Son, anything from
the Times the muscle of normally okay. But my point
is like, certainly that was a way for white people
to see into the black world, So like, how are
these shows even original?

Speaker 8 (01:56:31):
We didn't get to tell those stories as much. We
were just acting in those stories. Sometimes they weren't our voice.

Speaker 3 (01:56:40):
Good Times.

Speaker 9 (01:56:42):
It sounds like there's a question mark what you're saying,
because Good Times addressed like all the but I'm just.

Speaker 6 (01:56:48):
Saying at times we weren't that the helm of writing
those things.

Speaker 4 (01:56:51):
So the difference is that now we're getting to tell
our stories. That's that's just saying that's the difference.

Speaker 3 (01:56:56):
But I want to know. But it's like, so like
if you see show like black, is it like it's
for me?

Speaker 9 (01:57:05):
Or is it is that more blackish, more potent in
showing us these things? Then I feel like, I mean,
for God's sake, yeah, I think this is a different time.

Speaker 6 (01:57:17):
I'm gonna tell you.

Speaker 8 (01:57:17):
In my in my in my black communications class in college,
we discussed like JJ and the the hypocrisy of like yeah,
there's yeah, so yes, it is very different forty years
ago and the way blacks were portraying the stories were told.

Speaker 6 (01:57:33):
I'm not saying no.

Speaker 3 (01:57:35):
Flavor.

Speaker 4 (01:57:36):
Flavor was needed for a public enemy to be more accepted.
That's kind of role was in good times, Like the
message was still.

Speaker 3 (01:57:46):
The sneaky.

Speaker 4 (01:57:48):
You weren't expecting you, but JJ was the distraction that
pulled you in and then you learned the less.

Speaker 3 (01:57:55):
Well this is J like this. Yeah, that's right. Yeah,
I forgot. Somebody told me he charges comedy clubs extra. Yeah,
say dynamite.

Speaker 4 (01:58:09):
We wanted him to come on to say dynamite on
the tonight show, and I believe he charges.

Speaker 3 (01:58:16):
I think it's rates fifty thousand dollars. Just say no
one ever, Yeah, no one? Yeah, I mean why not?

Speaker 6 (01:58:23):
You do get paid for us? Get ready to I
can't even finish it because I'm scared. I get soon.

Speaker 3 (01:58:28):
You're caping for JJ. But uh you know Colter, Yeah forgot,
never hold on, that's really a thing. Google. Yeah, dude,
google that couple's photo.

Speaker 6 (01:58:40):
Forgot.

Speaker 3 (01:58:41):
Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, all right, we were gonna go
in a circle. I forgot to tell about Jossy that story.
Oh we have a story.

Speaker 7 (01:58:51):
It's a quick, simple you got time for jo all right,
So bookmark whatever you're closing with. So we're talking about
Jodasy earlier, and this is like the first time I
ever saw what I consider real celebrity was Jodasy. Like
I've never seen like fucking celebrity. And it's also why
I feel like there haven't been a lot of like

(01:59:11):
these black as many black entertainers getting caught up in
the bullshit. And maybe it's just black women keep secrets
or they just cut your ass out for grabbing.

Speaker 6 (01:59:27):
What is the jo.

Speaker 4 (01:59:31):
So I'm doing a comedy show in Valdosta, Georgia, and
I'm doing a comedy show, comedy show Valdosta v A
l d o s t A home of the Valdosta
State University Glaziers.

Speaker 3 (01:59:44):

they don't leave, and I'm like, why don't you leave?

(02:00:37):
You didn't get chosen.

Speaker 6 (02:00:38):
They get tagged in for later.

Speaker 3 (02:00:41):
So to that point, wow, how do you know this?

Speaker 6 (02:00:43):
Like, so we're watching something, So we're sitting there.

Speaker 3 (02:00:48):
Wait, can't plate Jonesy, why are you tell the story?

leans his head inside the limo and goes, alright, ladies,

get into some adult shit in this limousine. If you

(02:01:52):
ain't about no adult shit. Now it's the time to

limo waiting for one of them chicks to get out.
Nobody fucking moved in the limo.

Just this was a shitty year.

Speaker 6 (02:03:04):
It was a shitty year.

Speaker 3 (02:03:05):
What very? What nice? What was your cat video?

Speaker 8 (02:03:10):
Don't try to play me on what I'm gonna say,
but I'm gonna just say this. It is real pop culture.
Like it was a shitty year. But at least I
got Sterling K.

Speaker 6 (02:03:17):
Brown.

Speaker 3 (02:03:18):
This is us.

Speaker 6 (02:03:19):
That's how I feel because.

Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
Okay, that was your cat video.

Speaker 4 (02:03:24):
Now I would like to assume what your answer was, Fante,
but I will ask you who was your highlight of
twenty seventeen.

Speaker 3 (02:03:30):
My light twenty seventeen, it was getting married. Man.

Speaker 4 (02:03:33):
Okay, what I'm saying now, what was your real answer? Okay,
my real answer was Goodmora Season two, Nigga, Nigga, I'm
not watching that. No, no, no, seriously, the way you
describing uh, like she's got to have it in comparison
to Atlanta and how it feels kind of Gomora is
like that for the wire, Like you watched Gomora and

(02:03:54):
then you look at the wire like, yeah, nigga, these
young boys about to run your ass off the court.

Speaker 3 (02:03:58):
It's like it's like that I'm starting. I take that.
I don't take that silim and and it's on Netflix.

Speaker 6 (02:04:07):
I feel like I should explain.

Speaker 3 (02:04:09):
But this is us, This is saving NBC.

Speaker 6 (02:04:13):
This, this is us in all his emotion speeches and
and and being a strong black man with a strong
black wife that both work on the same show together.
And then his wife Collecchi that faith.

Speaker 3 (02:04:23):
He's married to the woman.

Speaker 8 (02:04:25):
He's married to the woman who plays kind of like, uh,
the woman who took on him as a little kid
on the show.

Speaker 3 (02:04:31):
And this is in real life.

Speaker 6 (02:04:32):
In real life, that's when he thinks her all the time.
I would like to think, my beautiful black meant his
wife on the show. I love her wife.

Speaker 3 (02:04:45):
He didn't have a good year, man, he didn't. We
just skipped over the that was all the sexual.

Speaker 4 (02:04:51):
So that's the whole other show. So all right, Bill,
best thing that happened? Yeah, anything I got okay. I
moved out away from my cokehead alcoholic roommate and his
weirdo friend.

Speaker 3 (02:05:04):
Damn that nig coke and nigga. How you do a
stimulant and a depressant? He turned away? Was that even
your stuff missing, no surprise. I need it for the rent.

Speaker 4 (02:05:16):
For though, like the two years I lived in that apartment.
That was partially the reason why I hardly ever left.

Speaker 3 (02:05:21):
WHOA protect your ship? Damn. I mean there was my
TV in the living room, my Mac media up there.
You should have locked that ship up like a Motel six.
But that love Colin on the back of the TV. Well,
you can't take the co acxive cable y sue. That
was the best thing to happening this year.

Speaker 9 (02:05:41):
I had a tough summer with the sciatica, but I'm
doing good with the diabetes.

Speaker 3 (02:05:49):
Let's leave it at that. Damn. You know what's gonna be,
sugar Steve Bill's not here Bill Sherman Center. So I
think that's why.

Speaker 4 (02:05:58):
Scrolling through my photos because Apple, this album ll show
you the moment you zoom out to like the year
and your pictures of your you were like, oh you were.
I was, That's what I should have been doing.

Speaker 3 (02:06:14):
Knee jerk.

Speaker 7 (02:06:17):
Starting to this is gonna sound fucked up, like I'm
a horrible father, And I don't want you to think.

Speaker 4 (02:06:21):
I'm a horrible fither uh. Leaning into fatherhood a little more.
He's nineteen months now, twelve.

Speaker 7 (02:06:32):
Right right now that he's fifteen, I figured, yeah, I
mean that's a noise box. Yeah, and so this year
he's like doing bills and ship and I'm like, okay, yeah,
I can get with this ship.

Speaker 3 (02:06:47):
Motherfucker, repeated me. Yeah he's starting to get a personality. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (02:06:51):
I caught him in the pot. Well, like he was
in the kitchen and pulled a pot out the cabin
and had a spoon. It was like pretending to stir.

Speaker 3 (02:06:56):
I'm like, oh, I want to cook Okay, So yeah,
I'd say that on some life ship like that was
like dope, and like that's like having a kid is
weird because it makes you focus more.

Speaker 7 (02:07:11):
Like I have less time now as a human being,
but I'm more productive than I've ever been. And I
don't know how that balances out. It's the whole quest
love thirty job things.

Speaker 4 (02:07:24):
But yeah, because I realize you don't realize how much
time you had until you have a kid, like less
you like.

Speaker 3 (02:07:31):

do you believe in that whole like face to face
it depends on how much time was invested in the
will you but do you really respect it? It depends
on how much time was invested in the over eight years.

But they live in another city so that I could
have done it's by phone. But my feelings as I
started making the decision to fire this person was, no,
You've had this entire time to get better and you
did not. So the totality of our relationship has you've

(02:10:58):
