in the same industry that I'm in.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Wyatt is a very uh kind of a guy, full
of wisdom and uh, you know, kind of my my,
my go to person when I have questions about anything, well,
a few mistakes.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Where babies come from? Well, I don't I don't get.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
I did answer that question for a mire.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Anyway, it was a.

Speaker 6 (06:14):
Long day with a powerpoints and we got there.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Let's let's welcome Wat Snek to quest Love Supreme Linson.
Tell me, wait, he didn't say your last name, right.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
I messed up the annunciation?

Speaker 6 (06:34):

such great friends.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Sac I married Christ.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
Good friends. God bless us everyone.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
It's in me now watching you and Bill have a
very eerily Uh you're very similar and yeah in your face.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
Area, your face areas are a little similar.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Demeanor, like, both of you are dressed alike. You did
you guys coordinate this?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
No? No, yeah, you both have black hoodies.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
One Bill, you guys are kind of like the black
version of the Trench Cope Mafia that.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
Yeah, but we're just gonna walk up into a place
and make music spread exactly.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, I got so many find that picture. We took
a picture like ten years ago. It's just to prove
that we were two separate people, because like, yeah, I
kept getting you look a lot like whyatt you know?

Speaker 6 (07:37):
And that was from his family members.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Speaking of pictures from a long time ago. I made
this weird discovery. Only if you are kind of a
day one well I don't want to use a drake term,
but if you were a day one okay, if you
were Day one of okay, player whom I call vets.

(08:01):
How's this for the strangest turnaround possible? Bill, do you
remember Stalker of.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
The Month or yes? All right, so.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Wow, there's a situation where like, uh, I don't know,
maybe I handed out my my beeper number out to
you know, to a few people, but you know, not
thinking anything of it. You just give your beeper number out,
not your personal beeper.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
For those that are listening that were born after nineteen ninety.

Speaker 6 (08:37):
Or that aren't doctors.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, that was what beeper still exists.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
Yeah, okay, I have three.

Speaker 7 (08:44):
But you're not a doctor.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
You don't know that.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
So anyway, the point, the point being, this is starting
to feel like an NPR.

Speaker 7 (08:58):
This feels like a sip yet that's all right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Can we have some do say?

Speaker 8 (09:03):
Yeah, I'm so proud of my baby. He goes so far,
y'all don't know. Remember he used to just drink framoire.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
I'm just I don't.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Understand this anyway. He was on the Atlantic.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Anyway, all right, so check it. So there was this
person that just kept calling and calling and calling and
calling and calling and calling the phone.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
And.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
It was becoming problematic. And so this is like, you know,
the earliest nineteen ninety eight, during the age of the
Internet's kind of early years, formative years. Anyway, So we
were building Okay Player and my partner Angie Thistle, and
I decided to start something called the Oka Player Stalker

(09:52):
of the Month. So this guy used to leave these
long message about how the roots were you know, these
angelic here rose. So long story short, I changed the
beeper number and I decided, I guess for my safety,
the sort of put these messages up on an okay player.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
This sort of deterred or just in case something happened. Yeah,
in case something happened to me.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I have the strangest feeling that I just hired that
person to be in my band.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Whoa wait, wait, wait a minute, there was an opening
in the band.

Speaker 7 (10:29):
Breaking news, breaking news, there was band member.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah wait wait, this is all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
This is all I'm saying. This is all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
One of the old administrators of Okay Player hands me
this old ass photo of me at a record store
in Canada with the guy with an afro and it's
and it's Joe Elliott.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Whoa, oh shit.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
And I was like, wait a minute, that's the Okay
Player start.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's good, that's good. Yeah. So anyway, that's that's how
my year is going.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
When someone stalks you and it waits for twenty years, Yeah,
then you hire them to be.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Your stro I admire your long game. Well done.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
That's also a very different ending for misery or we're
not there yet. It could be it's just the beginning.
It was just the beginning. If you see a sledge
lock of wood between between feet and stroe just taking

(11:42):
a sledgehammer to him until you finish those beats.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Kathy Bates hasn't been around the NBC building lately. No,
she isn't.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
I wouldn't mind if stro murdered me, you know, like,
if anybody's going to murder me, I'd be cool with it.
If it was St'd be like whatever. He probably had
a reason.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Probably we are.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
We already we ta Strow a lot because well because
show kind of looks like like the black version of Dexter,
not Dexter, the Dexter, Dexter's Lab, the cartoonist.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Oh okay, yeah, so we always joked that, you know, you.

Speaker 8 (12:22):
Thought the murderer, right, why you thought, No Dexter. You
didn't think murderer.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
No, not Lumberjack Dexter. That was also something that happened
in twenty ten. We need to get to that.

Speaker 7 (12:33):
Are we talking about Dexter? Are we talking about what
you're talking about talking about?

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I'm talking about Showtime Dexter, me too.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, that's what I meant. I was saying that, not
Showtime Dexter. So all right, here's the thing we.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
All of us.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
Dexter is a guy who just hangs out on the
Q train and dances. You need to clarify, you mean
Showtime TV Network Dexter, not Showtime Dexter who danced different guy?

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah yeah, different and tries not to kick people in
the face.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
Yeah, but he always does.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Well.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I know, I know this conversation is going to take
a turn for the worst. So what I would like
to do at least is to start of the bright spot.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Now.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I told everyone here to at least come up with
things that made them happy during the decade, for you know,
between TV movies and albums and whatever forms of entertainment.
So in compiling my list, I realized that I've consumed

(13:32):
a lot more, way, much more television than any human
being probably should have. And it's in your period, Like
I think TV has become my records.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yes for me too.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
Can I have your records? Then?

Speaker 1 (13:49):
No, absolutely not?

Speaker 2 (13:52):
But yet and still I've consumed a whole lot of music,
but not in a tangible way where it's like, you know,
I didn't invest in these records, like I just heard
them and streamed them. So I mean, this is the
first decade of really like full streaming.

Speaker 8 (14:10):
So it's remember where you used to go by like
ten copies of people's records.

Speaker 7 (14:15):
I remember you used to do that.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I still do it, I mean, but it's as hard
as hell to do it.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
You know.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
I purchased like twenty black Messias, oh but bout three.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
That's like, so you think you're interested, Like why do
you think this is?

Speaker 2 (14:33):
As a DJ and a member of the Tonight Show,
I'm very much aware of what's happening in music, but
it's so much overload that I'm a little dismayed that
my not to mention all the deaths of my heroes
in alarming rates. So I just have this.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
I don't know this.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I think music is now sort of like to me
what bread is to us or water.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
There's a lot more to watch also, you know, yeah, television,
they really up their games these last.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Time television is like the new movies too.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know if it's fair of like
movie stars, like for Meryl Streep to come to uh,
what's the.

Speaker 7 (15:14):
HBO show with the Big Lives?

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, big little Lives?

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Like I think that's so unfair, Like it's like, Okay,
you know you're gonna give her the Emmy.

Speaker 6 (15:25):
Well, but whether it's good or not, it's funny because
you say that's unfair. But there was a time in
like the eighties and nineties where for a movie star
to wind up on television it was like something that
bad happened in their career. It was, you know, the
equivalent of like going and playing Las Vegas or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
But everyone's But that to me is also that is
what's happening everyone. Everyone's plan b winds up being their work,
you know, no matter how much. And now I am like,
you know, I'm now ten years into the Tonight Show game,

(16:04):
and it doesn't.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
You don't have to brag.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, that's your humble brag. It doesn't.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
No, it just it doesn't sting as much when like
people yell, hey, that's Jimmy Fallon's drummer as it did
during the first four years, as if you know, the
first four years.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
I felt like.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
That's like a person going on to Michael Jordan being like, oh,
you're the actor in those Haynes commercials, or.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
Like, oh you're Phil Jackson's shooting guard.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, sort of sort.

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Of Phil, like Jimmy is the Phil Jackson of the
ninety four Chicago Bulls.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
Let's go with the Haynes analogy.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I like mine better. I'm with white. But that's not
because just not because we look alike. Okay, so I
know that one said one one, one thing of each, but.

Speaker 7 (17:01):
No it didn't work.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah some of us, what is it? Like? What's your
what was your five TV shows?

Speaker 7 (17:09):
So here's a deal. I did TV shows.

Speaker 8 (17:11):
But I also think it's weird because now we're in
a decade where we have all these streaming services. Right,
so if you if you just shout out Netflix, you
got to like just give honoraries like masters I said,
Masters of None, Netflix, Blackmural, Orange, and New Black like
things TV shows, right, they are, But I don't want
that to be a part of my list.

Speaker 7 (17:26):
I just want to be Netflix and subgenres.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
All right, So go ahead, start with.

Speaker 7 (17:30):
Atl Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Agree with you?

Speaker 7 (17:34):
Game of Thrones?

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (17:36):
Yes? Walking Dead?

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Really? All right?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Do me favorite? Sell me on the Walking Dead. That's
that's a powerhouse show that I made a decision to
not invest in even though America is obsessed with it.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah. I skipped that one too, and shout out to AMC.
I still love you.

Speaker 8 (17:53):
Don't drop me yet, but if not, even just for
the fall in love of What's My Girl? Deny because
you know, Black Panther and evolution of her in the
last ten years. But no, Walking Dead is like dope,
especially if you're a Game of Thrones watcher. You like
a long kind of show situation because you become loyal
to the characters and you know, it's such an amazing
ensemble of actors that intertwine and change around.

Speaker 7 (18:15):
That is just it's dope.

Speaker 8 (18:16):
It's like and it's like, of course, what would happen
to us if all of a sudden it was a
disease and the whole fucking you know world turned the
zombies do they explain?

Speaker 6 (18:24):
Uh why they're in Georgia and all the zombies are white?

Speaker 8 (18:30):
There are there are black zombies.

Speaker 7 (18:34):
Bombies let me know, you know, I aught they just asky.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
That's a blombie.

Speaker 8 (18:41):
Black zombies and they have to be black zombies because
they are black. Black like celebrities that are in the show,
like the girl who now has her star Trek thing
from Oh Dad, I forget her name.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
God, you better know you do know everything? Why it's sanak?
Would you say? What is it?

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (18:59):
Tell tell her sinko? Wow, Yeah, that's me.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Why I just go full on disrespectful? Do I go
on the Normans. By the way, he is a cheese expert.
Mm hmm.

Speaker 7 (19:14):
Yeah, I didn't know the motorcycles.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
We for some reason, we frequent the same cheese spot.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
You have the same cheesemonger.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
You have a cheese spot.

Speaker 7 (19:25):
You still eat cheese.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
No, we are not lactose intolerance.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Shop at Murray's Cheese, by the way, And I give
a lot of my h a lot of my friends
who like fancy cheese stuff like you can send them.
You can go to Murray's Cheese and they have glasses
and teach you how to make molds and stuff that's fascinating.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
And so you've sent a gift to friends to go
make cheese.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, uh, Zara's almond okay, cheese expert. I put her
in the Cheese of the Month club for a birthday
once and she ate three months worth of cheese and
about a week and.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
A half washed it down with a word of lemon juice.
Exactly what?

Speaker 7 (20:13):
And you're sure you're not lactose intolerant. She's very rare,
very rare.

Speaker 8 (20:17):
No, I'm not, because I'm just saying now you might
not know because I bust shot tonight.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Go ahead, TV.

Speaker 8 (20:28):
I also wanted Ryan Murphy should be mentioned in the
twenty tens. I could not narrow down to just one
show because it started with Lee and then it went
to American Horror, and then it went to American Horror.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Was the first couple of seasons I was on board,
and then it just got progressively.

Speaker 7 (20:42):
Oh no, it's awesome. What you talking about.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Now, here's the weird thing.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
I thought American Art Story and Walking Dead with the
same joint.

Speaker 7 (20:50):
Oh my god, Mary, you're missing so much in life.

Speaker 8 (20:53):
Like I'd rather you watch American horror stories before you
get to Walking Dead, because that's a commitment.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
You know what I'm saying. American Horror story is different
every season.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
What say you? Why?

Speaker 6 (21:01):
Yeah, I've never seen either.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
What do you have seen any Ryan Murphy program?

Speaker 6 (21:08):
I think I saw post. I want to sit down
and watch that one. I I've been meaning to.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
I'm pose is the kind of the it's the burning Okay, okay, yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Do want not for best supporting reporter?

Speaker 7 (21:25):
Yes he did, Yes he did.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
Yeah, No, I haven't. I I have been meaning to.
But my where Amir apparently has all the time, watch
all of the television, all of the records. You gainfully
employed at the tonight.

Speaker 7 (21:42):
Show, the stabb is large.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
You know what I did for the first time in
the twenty ten I watched The Wire.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Oh my god, you completed The Wire.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
I started and finished it. You even got past season two.
It took me a while. But yeah, season two is
hard to get by season two?

Speaker 7 (21:59):
It's is that the shipping? Yeah that's hard.

Speaker 6 (22:05):
No, I saw the first two seasons.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
I can't see you didn't get the three, four, and five.
It gets better after season two.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
Yeah, I was working, you know it's better.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Oh dude. See.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
The thing is is that these shows I watch, I
download on my phone or on my iPad and I
watch on the plane or watch backstage at the show.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
So that's how I have time to do it.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
I watch on my which, by the way, life hack
that I think I might have for anybody that wants
to cut chords, just figure out what shows you watch
regularly and by the season pass and then cancel your cable.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
That's hard to do.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
You know what I did this not this Christmas morning?
You know what I did last week?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
All right?

Speaker 2 (22:53):
So I because I have Apple TV. So once you
have Apple TV, you don't have to also your cable
and all your backup plans either. But yeah, I think
I might have to do that because and that scares
me to cancel my cable.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Like I canceled cable then I got with was then
Direct TV now and it's now a T T AT
and T or whatever.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
They said another message about a channel they're.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Losing that they keep losing channel and they have about
you and wait and they keep they keep jacking up
their prices too, like it was the whole uh selling
point of that service was supposed to be it was
supposed to be cheaper than regular cable. Now it's about
the same damn price.

Speaker 6 (23:36):
Yeah, it's all just coming. I mean, they're all just
bundling it into new cable packages. Like that's I feel
like that's the my conspiracy theory, not just mine, but like, okay,
the cable model is a successful model. All of these bundlings,
whether it's Disney Plus or you know, Apple TV, like

(23:58):
they're just finding new ways to be cable, and so
at some point they're going to offer you like Okay, yeah,
we can give you all of these things, and then
here are the special things we can give you the
we can give you the Mandalorian or as I should
be called, the Baby Yoda Show.

Speaker 7 (24:18):
Oh my god. I would like to also mention when
they see us.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Yeah, I didn't finish it. I couldn't finish it. Like
I watched the I think the first.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Part, episode four was hard, like twelve years of slave hard.
She did Wait, you just did a legit spit take.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
No, it was hard to stomach.

Speaker 7 (24:41):
It was I just forgot about it.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
But that's weird. Wait, slight confession. I have no horses
in the Disney race whatsoever. Well, here's the thing. It's
like I missed whatever whatever Disney stuff came out when I.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Was a kid.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
Marvel though, you know, finish.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
I wasn't all right. Like I didn't watch cartoons as
a kid, so all the Marvel stuff I wasn't allowed
to watch, you know.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
And you know the Hawaiian Punch story already all right
you met because you know, there's a whole bunch of
people that don't know that story.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
So basically, when I was three, there was a Hawaiian
Punch commercial in which which I think was culturally racist,
where like the Hawaiian native guy named Punchy, I will
go up to the white tourist and say hey, how
about a nice Hawaiian punch, and he'd be all annoying,

(25:43):
like the sure, and then he beat the ship out
of him and then sell you a fruit can of
a wine.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Please tell me you didn't beat the shut out of
some random white person on the street.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
No.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
I did it to my mother so exactly.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
So then I said, hey, come here, ask me say
shure when I asked you for the right.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
And then I said, Mom, I'm gonna say high about
a nice and wine punch.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
And you will say two years later, right. And then.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I cold clocked my mom and they were like, no
more television for mirror. So that's I missed out on
the Disney train, Like, I didn't see none of the
cartoons and then didn't watch Marvel. I was up on
the Muppets, but basically when Disney Plus came, I was like,
that's a joking with me. And then I realized, never
seen Bambi, never seen Dumbo, never seen Beauty and the Beast,

(26:35):
never seen Lion King, never seen the.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Song of the South. Wait, here's here's the deal.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
I've seen one Disney movie in my life and guess
what it was.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, that's the that's the one Disney movie that they
do not want you to see. I want them to
own their history. Disney.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
All of it was like Uncle Remus and all of
the Brare Rabbit stories, and they do a mix of
live action and animation, and so in nineteen six, yes,
this Uncle Remus was an.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Old black man who befriends with these white kids and
told them stories of Brair Rabbit sometimes and they were
like black faced.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
Has anybody actually seen it? Yeah, I've seen other than you. Yeah,
you can.

Speaker 6 (27:27):
Find it on right here. I was gonna say it's
on archived. I think it's archive dot orgon okay, and
you can you can watch.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
I just found the when I when I last, there
are a lot of are a lot of ticky tortures, like, yeah,
more people need to see this.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Last went to Disneyland and it's a small world.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
You could see where they like put a new paint
job where Brare Rabbit and Brare Bunny and Uncle.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
Splash Mountain is Splash Mountain is tied to all of
that stuff, I believe.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Yeah. Yeah, so they just got rid of.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
They got rid of Braer Rabbit.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
I mean.

Speaker 6 (28:11):
The interesting thing about Bray Rabbit is like all of
those stories are like it's just like African folklore that
got co opted by this white guy who then sold
it as like books that you know, sold it as
a book of like, oh, these were stories that are

(28:33):
our old Negro told us, right, but they're all based
like Braer Rabbit is supposed to be like when you
didn't when you were on a plantation and you wanted
to tell a story about how you maybe got one
over on the overseer or the slave master. Brare Rabbit
was the stand in for black people, and Breer Fox

(28:55):
and Brad Bear were plantation masters and overseers, and all
these stories are rooted in telling yeah, which it's like
and so there's this very weird thing of like, oh
there is something that's amazing about these stories. It's just
a shame that it got co opted.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
You know something. It's really like rabbit.

Speaker 6 (29:18):
It stands for is like sure for briar, you know, brother, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
You know something.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
I was doing some research on. All right, this is
going to sound weird on step and Fetch It. That's
not weird whom Well, okay, because the thing is is
that most people know that step and Fetch it is
sort of associated with like coonery and.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
Sort of she was very much associated with it.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
You know, not many people know that Step and Fetch
it funded one of the first uh Black Shakespearean companies
that Paul Robertson and Harry Belafonte came from and subsequently
sitting in poty eight as well. And if you sort
of look at the history of slang, it's almost slang

(30:09):
was crucial to survival. I mean, it's a deep rabbit
hole because not many people know that. Sure, laughing was
illegal on the plantations. That's where barrel laughs came from.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
We gotta get Amalia in here, yes we do, which
I'm gonna get you your recommendation letter.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yes, uh shout out to Amalia who taught us that.
The idea of the term barrel laughs came from that
laughing was allowed on anything was Sassin getting angry, crying,
talking back, laughing, talking, which is weird because the only
thing that was allowed was singing. And so you know,

(30:46):
that's all the coded wading water and all that stuff
to run away and escape. But people don't know is
that slaves built a barrel and put water in it
so that if you felt frustrated or angry or wanted
to or go out your mind, you would have to
dunk your head in the water and that would suppress
the sound and you wouldn't get lashes for as sassing

(31:08):
back or talking back. So slang, to some port, slang
was basically a way to survive, like humor slang was
for code talk, but humor was used as a weapon
to sort of kind of put the put people at ease,

(31:32):
the overseas at ease from killing you or slashing. So
it's almost like I see Step and Fetch It in
almost as different a different light now that I've realized
that he might have been revolutionary.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
Well in some way, Yeah, you could argue that he
is a trickster in that he's presenting as one way
to have a different to have a different outcome. If
he's presenting as subservient to white people but then using
his resources to help fund things that push that pushed

(32:09):
for the advancement of black people, Yeah, that's sort of
a trickster. That's sort of a trickster role. So yeah,
I mean, are you pitching this to me as the
HBO documentary that you want to make Step and Fetch It.

Speaker 8 (32:22):
The trickster given away money a mirror you shud stop,
he already did it.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
Also I don't work for HBO anymore, so I can't
make it.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Well, let's do it.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
What I mean, I have other things I'd like to make.
But sure, but there But but what you're saying though,
I mean, there's even something interesting about that, Like thinking
about how like Bill Cosby produced or gave money to
Sweet Sweetbacks. Uh, like he helped fund that and helped

(32:50):
give Melvin Van Peebles the money he needed to make
that movie. And yet at the same time was like
at you know, four facing was mister wholesome. Yeah, backwards
facing a different a different dude.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah, it's very hard to let him go now that
I discovered that reruns are on Amazon.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Oh I still watch reruns. I yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
But I mean there's there's there are you know, other
members of that family of the Huxtables.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Exactly, that's true. There are there are other members of
the Huxtables. All right, So what else was your your
TV list? This is Are you sad?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
I'm on Season two? I'm way behind. Is it as
sad as everyone?

Speaker 7 (33:41):
No?

Speaker 8 (33:41):
No, everything's not sad. A lot of things are joyful
and some things are joyfully sad.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
You know, it's like, but.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
You faithfully watch this is us.

Speaker 8 (33:48):
Fucking right man ever since the first season dedicated man,
really yeah, because the writing.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
Is like amazing.

Speaker 8 (33:55):
Sterling Brown comes from there, Like, hello, you watched the
evolution of him for the last ten years.

Speaker 7 (34:00):
He's fucking dope. Even in Predators.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Predators, Yeah, he was the bad guy.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
I pronounced it, Predators.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
You're gonna fit right in around here.

Speaker 6 (34:13):
Oh good, Okay, And.

Speaker 8 (34:14):
Just in case you're getting bored with me, can I
just do one more last final TV mentioned sure anything
that Kenya Bears touched.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
I had to because what you don't. I had to
skip Grownish because I remember college. I do not want
to deal with that ship again.

Speaker 7 (34:30):
And it's like dirty different World.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
I like it, Like that's why I skipped your Wife,
Different World. I don't want to deal with that.

Speaker 8 (34:36):
Somebody's pregnant this season? What what?

Speaker 2 (34:41):
No more spoilers because I'm still watching that. I love Grownish.
I think I love Grownish a little too much, Like,
like I just watched that. It was like, oh, you
dumb motherfucker, you're talking at the screen. Yeah, yeah, all right,
So listen. I was shouting at the screen, dope, I
love I love that, all.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Right, So what's your what's your five joints?

Speaker 3 (35:02):
It started in the two thousands in the two thousands,
but most of it was run in the twenty ten, so.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Parks and Recreation. Of course. Yes, it might be one
of my favorite television shows of all time. I told
you it was the New Tank. Yeah, it's probably one
of the most perfect TV shows ever. I agree with you.
Number two and only the first season True Detective. Oh,
of course you're right.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
I didn't see. I didn't see after that weird ass
second season.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
I didn't go back. I didn't go back. Number three
The Leftovers.

Speaker 7 (35:41):
God, yes, hit Me to anything that Regina King was.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
She did a great job in that hit Me, hit
Me to the Left. I've heard of The Leftover. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
What I loved about it is is that it didn't
really give the audience satisfying answers, and I just that's
what I loved most about it, because everybody was like, yeah,
it's like a Spike Lee movie, Like you know, everybody's
watching the ship and you're like, oh, yeah, we're gonna
find out what happened We're gonna find out why all
these people are left behind blah blahlah blah blah, and
you don't really get the answer to that. And I

(36:11):
think that's great that that that that answer was left
kind of kind of kind of air and.

Speaker 8 (36:16):
The concept alone, because you don't get different concept like that. Yeah, people,
just ten percent of the population just drops out like.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
You don't, you don't, you don't. You don't get all
the answers in that show. And that's one of the
things I loved most about it. So you know, my my,
my imagination gets to fill in some of the blinks.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Okay, what was that two? Or three? That's three?

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Okay three? Uh number four, mister robot. Yeah, I'm way
behind on this this last season. Just gonna binge a
whole bunch of them because that's the show that I
hate waiting week the week to watch.

Speaker 8 (36:49):
Why that seemed like you would like that show, mister Robot.
You don't even have time for that money either.

Speaker 6 (36:54):
I feel like I watched the first season and then
I didn't pick up on the I didn't pick up
on this second season.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
It didn't entice you or you, just like I don't
have time to.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
I feel like it was maybe a mix of things.
I think one of the challenges with television in this
past decade. There's something that's very nice about shows not
having to be sort of boxed into like a twenty
two episode season, And I do like that. I feel

(37:27):
like twenty two episodes oftentimes not every show needs that. Yeah,
But the challenge is the television, the US television sort
of market hasn't fully built itself to accommodate those shorter
season shows. So if I watched ten episodes of something,

(37:48):
then it's about tracking when is the thing coming back?
And when it comes back?

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Is that the thing? Is that the thing that I
want to re engage with. Is it going to be
on the same night? Yeah? Is it gonna be the
same night? Is it?

Speaker 6 (38:03):
And And so I feel like that's one of those
things that I don't think American television has done very
well as far as trying to figure out, like, Okay,
do we just make like a fall season and a
spring season and a summer season and we all as
networks and streaming services kind of agree to that. No,

(38:26):
And so I think that's where it's it's tough because
like the one thing they have agreed to is okay. Well,
when September hits, you got new shows coming out and
there's all that excitement. But then yeah, if some show
pops up in October, it's kind of like, oh wait
what and and don't forget.

Speaker 8 (38:45):
In the twenty tens, we discovered the mid season what
the fuck? Like the mid season finales? The mid what
Power did? And they split it out and have And I.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
Just realized I forgot another show?

Speaker 7 (38:56):
Was Power?

Speaker 1 (38:58):
No? Well damn can I have like three more? Go ahead?
All right? Scandals?

Speaker 7 (39:09):
Yeah, keep it real.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Scandal.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
That that was I guess you could say that was
my guilty pleasure. That was my guilty pleasure for the decade.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
But I actually thought Scandal was good. It started out good,
it ended Yeah, it went a.

Speaker 1 (39:25):
Little too long.

Speaker 7 (39:25):
I got to get Away with Murder.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
But it was one of those shows that I had
to I had to step off Wait, what train? What joints?

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Did you step off the train? On How to get
Away with Murder? I stopped during the first season. Me too, Yeah,
I stepped off the train. Yeah, it just I couldn't
get into it. Like the characters, I didn't give a
fuck about them.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
I wantdn't care what happened loyalty?

Speaker 3 (39:46):
I wanted to why? Oh wait wait, I got I
got two more. I got two more. Y'all gonna think
I'm crazy for this one. I watch everything. So Doctor pimple.

Speaker 7 (39:58):
Popper, I've heard, dude, this one.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Dude, she was in the hallway a month ago and
Tariq and our makeup lady lost their minds the Asian
lady or whatever.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
It is, doctor Lee. So people, do you know what
this is?

Speaker 7 (40:18):
I do, I can't watch it.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Do you know what this is? Steve television show of
a sexy woman.

Speaker 6 (40:36):
They sell it's just no dermatologies. Let me let me
have to put your male games on this.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Let me tell you something, Doctor pimple Popper is one
of the most feel good television shows you'll ever watch
your entire life. Yes, Like she's out here changing people's lives.
Like you watch, you know the backstory before you know,
the patient comes in and you know these people are
having like serious problems. You know, they're like, you know,
I've got this big thing on my neck that you know,

(41:04):
it's really affecting. I can't do such and such and such,
you know, normal ship. And then they get this ship
taken off their neck and they're just you know, they're
crying tears of joys because they can I.

Speaker 6 (41:13):
Can stalk a mirror.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
They do slow motion.

Speaker 7 (41:22):
You see, isn't it just batched?

Speaker 2 (41:24):
I've never I never watched no.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
Like you see, like she's either you know, she'll sometimes
you know, pop blackheads, which is some of them, like
the most satisfying.

Speaker 7 (41:31):
Ship to watch, because I do like the pops.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
Yeah, and then like you know, sometimes she you know,
she's removing cys from people or you know, has.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
She ever met a pimple she couldn't pop because.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
I feel I feel like there has been a couple
of them, but like they weren't exactly pimples.

Speaker 6 (41:45):
All right, So Steve, Steve Rick, I can't help you.
You're just going to have to kill yourself. Steve, I'll
leave the rooms.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
Steve knows Maria at work now my job, there's a
woman that does our makeup and glam and like she
lives for popping pimples, which I was taught in the beginning.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Never away.

Speaker 7 (42:09):
There's a way you want to do it, yes, with
the needle.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Well, you like there's all the ship that she you know,
you just got to watch the ship. It's just fascinating, Like, do.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
You eat food when you watch this thing? Okay, let
me tell you. Don't eat cottage cheese, don't eat oatmeal,
mashed potatoes.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Don't eat mashed potatoes, and and and buffalo.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Do not plan to handle raw chicken afterwards?

Speaker 7 (42:37):
Why does chicken?

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Because she also removes like these things called la pomas,
which are like basically like fat deposits under the skin,
and when she pulls them out, they basically look like
raw chicken, like a raw chicken breast.

Speaker 7 (42:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Yeah, Jesus and Mary are they?

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Okay, here's my confession.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Both.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
Okay, here's my confession. Since the move to Showtime, I've
been very slow.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
To keep up. Really, I actually feel like the show
is better now that it's on Showtime.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
All right, well, I just missed the daily updates. That yeah,
I miss the daily updates too. I like it when
it was like talk soup.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
But you know, the the level of guests they have
now are higher. Like just just just seeing Jesus and
Marylyn in a room with Elizabeth Warren's cool. That's just
weird as fuck, you know, well, not weird as fuck,
it's just crazy as fuck.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
You know or or who else did they have? They have?

Speaker 3 (43:40):
They have, they have a lot of the guests are
a lot better, okay, now that they're on showtime.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
So what.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Are you a Are you a TV connoisseur or you're
one of these Brooklyn cats that don't own a TV.

Speaker 6 (43:57):
I do own a television. I do watch television, enjoy television.
I feel like on some level because I work in television,
I try to watch television when I can. But yeah,
as far as shows, So here's the thing. You texted me,
and you were like, just pick a show for the decade,

(44:17):
and so I didn't necessarily see it as what my
favorite shows were. I was looking like, what is a
show that to me the best? Defined You're so smart
the decade?

Speaker 7 (44:29):
I was right about you.

Speaker 6 (44:30):
But no, this was just she was vague, but.

Speaker 7 (44:33):
You remixed that in your mind.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Like you we went, we took the easy way out.

Speaker 6 (44:37):
No, I mean there are a lot of like Atlanta
is a great show. I think, you know, there are
shows where I think about, oh, for what they're doing
as far as the culture and storytelling, the idea. Insecure, Yeah,
I was gonna say Insecure Atlanta, Like, there are shows
that are pushing what uh you know what television can

(44:58):
be for for both black creators and black viewers and
hopefully you.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Know is really black and black and I am loving it.
I gotta say.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
But if I was, but if I was gonna uh yes,
bl audience, but if thank you we finally we finally
come together on something.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
What did you say, audience, Yeah, blodience.

Speaker 6 (45:22):
Isn't that what you said?

Speaker 5 (45:23):
I said, blombies. I was talking about the black zombies.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Black audience just recoined a new phrase, turn off Steve
on the headphone station.

Speaker 6 (45:32):
No, I'm just gonna turn Steve down. So I was
thinking of shows that defined the decade. And so to me,
a show that defined the decade to me.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Was Breaking Yes, Yes, Yes.

Speaker 6 (45:46):
And the reason I feel like it defined the decade
is because there were a lot of shows in the
last ten years and not even say the last fifteen
years that all kind of had a similar thing, which was, like,
suburban white guys who aren't happy just in their lives,

(46:09):
so let's give them some nefarious shit to do. So
you look at like the Sopranos and it's like, oh,
here's a story about like suburban dad who works in construction,
but it's like, oh no, that's not enough. Let's make
him a mob boss.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
I mean, if we really want to keep it funky,
breaking bad. It was just a gender flip version of weeds.

Speaker 8 (46:30):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (46:32):
But I feel like as a genre, this the last
decade has been about like all these beta white people
trying to feel special like there's nothing wrong, Like being
a science teacher is like a cool job, it's an
amazing thing. And it's like, oh no, let's make him
a villain. And it just seemed like, Oh, let's celebrate

(46:53):
the worst in these care in these people. And let's
not like like there was a time when TV was like, oh,
it's the white shadow and it's like Dragnet where cops
actually like you know, talk to people as opposed to
like cops who shoot up, like you know, it's just like.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
As opposed to cops.

Speaker 6 (47:11):
Yeah, well but it's but it is this weird thing
where I feel like this has been the decade of villainy,
and like, let's make regular people like, let's let's normalize
villainy in this way that it's not just the worst
of the worst who can be villains?

Speaker 1 (47:29):
A science teacher can be a villain? Is it really
normalizing villainy.

Speaker 6 (47:33):
I think that it is. I think that I like,
I was, I was watching college basketball the other day
and there was a commercial for a lawnmower and it
was a lawnmower called bad Boy Lawnmowers bad Boy, and

(47:53):
there's just something about like and it's.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Bad Boy Records in ninety four bad Boy.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
But I think that was like slang wise, it it
meant it different. I think on some level, I'm not.
I think it was different in a way that it
was still counter culture in a way that was like
when you look at like these commercials, it's like, oh,
here's some person in their khaki pants and their lawnmower,

(48:21):
and it's like, I'm a bad mode right right with my.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
Lawnmower, like HOMEI in office space, driving down the street,
listening to ghetto boys.

Speaker 8 (48:28):
Yeah, but not to not to mention like hot topics
of like the decades or whatever.

Speaker 7 (48:32):
But y'aller of the twenty tens.

Speaker 8 (48:33):
But that goes back to like the Esquire cover, Remember
that the Esquire cover with the American what's it called
an American boy with the.

Speaker 7 (48:40):
White woman cover in danger and stuff. It all goes back.
Never mind y'all don't remember this cover right here like
this American.

Speaker 8 (48:51):
Ship.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
It was.

Speaker 7 (48:53):
Now my point is going to people who are listening
to what.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
I'm talking anyway, No, I don't remember remember this as a.

Speaker 7 (49:04):
This was I'm sorry. Here you go.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Into the microphone, please.

Speaker 8 (49:10):
Twenty eighteen and the cover set an American boy, What
is like to grow up? White, middle class and a
male and an era of social media, school shootings, toxic maxiculinity,
hashtag me too in a divided country.

Speaker 7 (49:20):
This is like a very controversial talk.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
About social media tonight that was like you don't remember this?

Speaker 6 (49:25):
I saw I remember that. Yeah, but it is a
weird thing when you look at television and it's like
it's kind of surprising that with all of the sort
of villainy that has been presented, that there hasn't yet
been a show of like of a school shooter like that.
Like you think about, like what was then like a comedy,

(49:48):
Like I'm thinking about what.

Speaker 7 (49:49):
Was the show crime Story something like that?

Speaker 6 (49:51):
You mean, well, but what was the show that Claire
was it? Claire Danes?

Speaker 1 (49:55):
No, like that show?

Speaker 6 (49:59):
Like thinking about like a show like that where it's like, okay,
what if we take a terrorist, and we normalize this
white terrorist and we make them a flawed character that
you should feel love for, and it just feels like, oh, okay, Dexter,
Let's take a serial killer and make them this flawed
character that you should feel love for and breaking bad like.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
All these show. Isn't that kind of a trope that's
by writers since day one?

Speaker 7 (50:29):
Brody became a billionaire.

Speaker 8 (50:30):
I was just saying, Brody from that show is just interesting,
that guy who you they hear hear the clar Daine show,
Brody became a billionaire.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
No, that's billions.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
That's completely unrelated.

Speaker 7 (50:46):
Funny, but let me have my joy.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
I forgot what I was trying to say now because
because of that, she's smoking her joy.

Speaker 6 (50:56):
No, but you were saying you were talking about because
I was, I was saying.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
These villains, Yeah, it's it's it's kind of like a
trope that writers have kind of used from day one,
but by putting people in disparate situations.

Speaker 6 (51:08):
Sure, but I don't think it has been as focused
on humanizing villains in the way that it to that
it has today.

Speaker 8 (51:19):
I mean another one, Lucifer, I mean scarface Lucifer, that
was a good show too.

Speaker 7 (51:23):
I did watch Guilty.

Speaker 6 (51:25):
Place Scarface, okay, name five more like I feel like
so many other movies Scarface. To me, Scarface stands out
on some level because it's uniqueness of that time. I
feel like so many of the other films, Like, I mean.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
That that could just be that could just be the
uh what's the word I'm looking for?

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Well? Does the wire count or.

Speaker 6 (51:48):
Could count in that too? I mean, because you talk
about Scarface, but I think about like, okay, like something
like The Taking Appellem one two three, Like it is
about these guys who are trying to rob a train,
but it's really more about you know, Jerry Stiller and
Walter Mathow and these people who are trying to who
have been terrorized by this person.

Speaker 3 (52:10):
Let's be real, New Jack City, we were all kind
of rooting for Nino Brown.

Speaker 7 (52:15):
Sure, sometimes they write the villain more interesting, but.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
I think point til Christopher Williams hands got fucked.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Up, pretty motherfucker never liked you anyway.

Speaker 6 (52:26):
But I also think there's something different when it comes
to like movies and television that were created with black leads,
because there's there's also the part of it where it's
like if you go back and you think about like
the Cosby Show, what made the Cosby Show so unique

(52:48):
for its time was like, Okay, here is a middle
class black family where.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
They organized people.

Speaker 6 (52:56):
Yeah, but it was like it went the other way
where it was like they can be doctors and they
can be lawyers as because because everything else had been
oh no, you're crooks, your criminals like you know you
like And so I think there's something that for so
many movies for black people, and I think even thinking

(53:16):
about like bad Boy or something like that, so much
of black culture had been placed as you all are
the villains in white society. You agree with me, right, Steve?

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Yeah, you are.

Speaker 6 (53:36):
Sign he whispered it and that sugar Steve, you don't
reach him at.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
You can print that. There's there's fighting where Steve, Steve,
what did you watch?

Speaker 6 (53:52):
Man?

Speaker 1 (53:52):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 5 (53:53):
Do you.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Breaking bad? Breaking bad? To? What else? I mean?

Speaker 6 (54:00):
So, yeah, that was with that idea of like, I
think the last decade has been the decade of celebrating
white villainy.

Speaker 7 (54:08):
But what did you laugh at this year?

Speaker 1 (54:10):
But what did I enjoy?

Speaker 7 (54:11):
What did you enjoy?

Speaker 6 (54:12):
There are definitely things I enjoyed. I said, Atlanta. I
enjoyed Atlanta. I mean, I still enjoy Atlanta because they'll
be making new episodes. I enjoy Insecure. I've been enjoying Watchmen.

Speaker 7 (54:28):
Yes, talk about it, I don't.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
We talked.

Speaker 7 (54:30):
Listen, y'all. It is so and who knew that they
were going to start off.

Speaker 8 (54:33):
I'm sorry, I didn't read the book series, but when
they started off so black with black, but.

Speaker 6 (54:38):
There's nothing in the book. There's nothing in the book
that is that. And honestly, I never gave a shit
about the book because I didn't feel like, I like,
it was just like none. I didn't have any connection
to it and this and it just felt like okay,
I like, I've heard tons of dudes to tell me

(55:00):
like Watchman is the best thing, and it was just like,
it's fine, Like I get it. It's flawed Superman and
flawd Batman beginning.

Speaker 7 (55:09):
It's the foundation, all right.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
So if I'm gonna watch that, do I need to
watch the movie first? No?

Speaker 8 (55:13):
No, I will say this why it came absolutely funky.
You do need a sort of a guy like you
should google who the characters?

Speaker 6 (55:20):
Just read a Wikipedia on Watchman, Like, honestly, if anyone
was like, hey, should I read the graphic novel? I
would just say, read the Wikipedia like like, that's just
that's honestly.

Speaker 8 (55:35):
Revew of employing Lou Gossip Junior Like, and he's fucking dope.

Speaker 6 (55:39):
He yes, yeah, you know that's what's up Virginia.

Speaker 7 (55:46):
That Regina King touched in this decade is gold. That's it.

Speaker 6 (55:50):
Also talked about theovers.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
Damon Lindelof who.

Speaker 7 (55:54):
Anything that he was also in You Won? Does she?

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Does she want anything for American Crime? Yes?

Speaker 7 (56:00):
She did? She want Tommy.

Speaker 6 (56:02):
She's Meryl Street Lindelof.

Speaker 7 (56:06):
Is he.

Speaker 6 (56:08):
Damonlyn Uh? Did the leftovers? He also did lost.

Speaker 7 (56:13):
I'm glad I could commit to one y.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
I just I just started.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
I was going to skip the Watchman Don't No No,
And then when I saw the Tulsa story and that,
I was like, oh, and then.

Speaker 7 (56:28):
That's how I got you get your parents to get
in on it.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
And then when they sent me a note.

Speaker 7 (56:33):
Taken to the Museum Blacksonian.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Wait, this, Mike count is my This shouldn't count as
my humble brag, but I got note that episode three
was inspired from my discovery of my ancestry.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
You didn't see that, did you?

Speaker 7 (56:51):
I saw episode three, but I'm trying to.

Speaker 2 (56:55):
Email me and basically said that I wrote this episode
kind of inspired by your If you look up Questlove
and Watchman. It basically the director breaks down that my
episode discovery of my Benen ancestry. Yeah, because on the
Last Ship would be season four, episode nine of Finding

(57:17):
Your Roots with Henry Lewis Gates Junior, who.

Speaker 8 (57:19):
Was the Secretary of State in this alternate universe where
Robert Redford is the president.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
What I wonder, Yeah, I wonder that's why.

Speaker 6 (57:26):
I wonder if that's why they made him the put
him in the episode, because they were like, you know what,
he's a stronger actor than a mirror in this tribute.

Speaker 7 (57:37):
I mean, he did give a mirror the information.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Let's give him a credit. He did. He did great work.
Is a corpse in that Law and Order episode.

Speaker 7 (57:44):
So yeah, but f y, I just a cheater.

Speaker 8 (57:45):
For everybody who has never hasn't watched Watchmen or confused,
you should know. I just read this that it's based
on if America. Damn was it that we lost the
Vietnam and we won Vietnam and it became a state?

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Right?

Speaker 6 (57:56):
Yes? Yeah? Yeah, yeah? Can I do another show that
I like.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
Hurry, yeah, black Villain, I'm running out of time over there.

Speaker 6 (58:06):
Oh, it looks like we're out of time.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
Sorry.

Speaker 6 (58:08):
See, I guess you'll have to tell us your favorite
shows on the next episode of Yeah, it'll be in
the it'll be on the extras, which we'll have left
the room and you can record those. I mentioned this
show to a mirror recently, and I really like this show.

(58:34):
It's an animated show called Craig of the Creek.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
Yes, introduce me to this show.

Speaker 6 (58:41):
Yeah, let me rate that now. And it's on Cartoon
Network and it is no, it's regular cartoon network. But
it's all about this little boy named Craig who hangs
out in a creek with all like all the it's
in the neighborhood, all hang out in this creek and

(59:03):
they have their whole, like their own like sort of
laws of governance and their whole in an economy, and
it is like in like a nice way, and it
is the most diverse cast of children.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
And then like Craig is a black kid.

Speaker 6 (59:23):
Craig is a black kid. It's like the whole thing.
But they're all these like subtle, like subtle jokes like
there's it's a very funny gift you can find, but
there's a clip you can find of Craig and his
dad are trying to have a barbecue and they Craig
tries to help and some stuff catches on fire, and

(59:46):
so he and his dad are trying to put it
out and it's going horribly wrong. And there's a moment
where Craig's older brother shows up with his girlfriend who's white,
and she walks in and she's like, hey, I brought
potato salad and the hose just splashes her.

Speaker 9 (01:00:03):
And they're just like all these jokes that are like
clearly like above children's heads, but are so like perfect
and wonderful.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
And it's like when I watch Animaniacs now as an adult. Yeah,
but the subtle, all the adult humor that just went
over my head.

Speaker 6 (01:00:28):
But it's such a good show. And Craig of the
Creek they did a Thanksgivings. How many seasons I think
they've done.

Speaker 1 (01:00:36):
Two seasons, sixty episodes.

Speaker 6 (01:00:38):
That's what I was gonna say.

Speaker 2 (01:00:39):
The difference between adult swim and just comedy. Ye, adult
starts after ten Yeah, oh that's where the risky jokes
coming down.

Speaker 8 (01:00:48):
Had shout out to Robot Chicken's Eric and Rick and Morty.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
We didn't mention last week with John Oliver, we mentioned
Masters and none shout out.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
Wait hold on last week with John Oliver, it's just
been too much, like not not him, just just been
too much going on that that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Having him, you know, reiterate where reiterate everything. It's just
been kind of just a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
But they also like like the op into stories that
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but that should be news.

Speaker 1 (01:08:13):
But we're so preoccupied with right right right, the politicals.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
I'm just at the point right now where I'm just
fatigued with everything and I just want everybody to shut.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
The up and go away.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
Great contributions, Dog, I miss my boy aunt. Uh. Parts
of Known was also a mine any parts of I
love drunk History.

Speaker 6 (01:08:39):
And you did drunk History.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
Can we move on from television. Wait, I'm just saying that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
All right, I'll just go down the list. I actually
kind of like Marvelous this is didn't watch it, even
though it was short lived. I love tre may Too.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
I didn't watch that. I didn't watch it. I missed
all of that shit. Like I didn't have HBO for
most of the decade. So that's David Simon's for me.

Speaker 8 (01:09:07):
I know, that's one of them shows you're like, you're
embarrassed if you're kind of artsy that you didn't watch it.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
Okay, So speaking of embarrassed there like slight Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
I mean I didn't watch most of the sopranos. So
what I didn't have HBO? Oh well, okay.

Speaker 6 (01:09:21):
Were those the Harlem years? No?

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Those those were the bead style years. Those were the
Bill is still trying to be in the record industry
of years. So Bill has absolutely no money, you know,
you know what?

Speaker 1 (01:09:30):
All right, here's the deal.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
I emotionally invested. Now, it's weird that you think you're
and I agree with you to a point that Breaking
Bad probably did sum up the decade. But when I
was thinking of what really summed up the decade for us,
my assessment was Girls mother fucker.

Speaker 7 (01:09:55):
How dare you?

Speaker 2 (01:09:56):
I didn't say I liked girls.

Speaker 7 (01:10:00):
No, no, no, no, that was.

Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
See how you're reacting right now? That is what? No no, no, no, no,
no no listen question. Listen. You know I'm with you.
No no, no, no, I'm not. But I'm saying that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
I'm saying that also, like police brutality was the thing
in twenty ten, I'm thinking that show, dude, I'm telling you.

Speaker 6 (01:10:22):
Girls the first season.

Speaker 1 (01:10:25):
Yeah, I hate watch the first season. Well wait, here's
the thing. Who was the which which uh? Which website.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
Would which website would analyze each episode and the snarkiest listen?

Speaker 3 (01:10:42):
They could be one of many. It was either a
vy avy club probably, Yeah, that was one of the ones.
I probably read.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
Their Their snark was so awesome that I actually had
to watch the show and read the snark and they
were episode by the episode. Would never no, no, no, You're
you're missing the whole point. I I feel as though
that show represented what happened in the last ten years.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Damn was it really that shitty?

Speaker 6 (01:11:11):
But I would but I would say I agree with you,
and then where I would I see you and I
would raise you? Is keeping up with the Kardashian Hey
as another basically like Girls, with shittier writing.

Speaker 7 (01:11:28):
Yeah, and more black people.

Speaker 6 (01:11:31):
You're right, more yeah, more black people owned by white people.

Speaker 8 (01:11:35):
Oh damn own god, damn Lamar.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
Here's here's what I really got.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
Going in my my favorite The only part I genuinely
liked about Girls was the cold open because for me, uh, we.

Speaker 7 (01:11:54):
Have to talk about when they go there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
Again.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
I'm not saying this as an endoor. I'm saying this
as an observation of what the city last ten years
we've been living, which you're not listening to me.

Speaker 7 (01:12:08):
But he's walking dead for that analogy.

Speaker 2 (01:12:12):
Well, I mean as a person who watched the show.

Speaker 6 (01:12:16):
That's what the Kardashians call all the black people on
their show.

Speaker 5 (01:12:22):
When you said girls, I thought you meant actual girls.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
I didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
I didn't know, No, Lena Dunham, No, I just felt that,
you know, just with with gentrification and sort of uh,
I guess you would.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
Call it entitlement.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
And yeah, you're just again not listening to me when
I tell you that I'm saying, I'm saying that, yes,
that this show probably best describes what the last ten
years have been at least from my observation.

Speaker 6 (01:12:58):
Show.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
Yeah, I tried to get into that. I don't want
to say it was bad. I just couldn't high maintenance on.

Speaker 7 (01:13:06):
HBO The Couch on to what's the stand up show?
Oh Boy?

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
That had.

Speaker 6 (01:13:14):
Crashing crashing.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Yes, you know what, I'm really angry that they got
rid of Detroiters. But I've never brey laughed harder at
a show than Detroits. And I really wish you introduced
me to Oh Boy too, Sam, or to Tim at
Tim at s n L back when.

Speaker 7 (01:13:33):
He was Sam beat. Oh my god, he's a sleeper,
like he's really talented.

Speaker 6 (01:13:39):
Yeah, Tim, Yeah, Tim, Tim's Tim's great.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
Tim.

Speaker 6 (01:13:44):
And I watched Tyson Chandler break his leg in front
of us at a Knicks game at UH and then
the next day the back pages were pictures of Tyson
Chandler like holding his legs on the court, and all
you see is me and Tim just both like.

Speaker 2 (01:14:08):
Look, none of us mentioned handmate's till either, which you know,
there's so much you know we can I.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Ask you serious question.

Speaker 5 (01:14:18):
You guys ever watched stuff besides shows like sports or
c SPAN.

Speaker 6 (01:14:28):
Watch a lot of Jeopardy.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
I mean, I don't want to go down the rabbit
hole of news and MSNBC and you know, Rachel Matta,
I'm watching all these Trump related shows. I understand why
why people watch them or don't watch them at this point,
but like that's why I started to watch c SPAN
more just for.

Speaker 7 (01:14:49):
You hold you.

Speaker 5 (01:14:50):
It seemed almost it seems more normal than watching the news.

Speaker 7 (01:14:54):
Just because there's a straight feet yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:14:56):
And it's just yeah, there is no no Commentaryllo, And
did you.

Speaker 6 (01:15:01):

We shall come on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:16:00):
Please yeah, dog like you? What was your where's the album?

Speaker 8 (01:16:07):
I'm sorry, it's just wanted to be anything and impact
related outside of ox.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Star, but it's growing on it over Malib.

Speaker 8 (01:16:14):
No I'm outside, I said, but Oxnart, I said anything and.

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):

Fuck?

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):

Speaker 8 (01:16:32):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:16:32):
Good? Will?

Speaker 6 (01:16:33):
You like?

Speaker 7 (01:16:34):
I like it all?

Speaker 6 (01:16:34):
Next Pink Polo, I gotta tie. I'm gonna go to
Pimp a Butterfly and the Seed at the table. If
I had an honorable mention, my dark horse honorable mention
is uh nineteen ninety nine by Joey Badass. Just to

(01:16:59):
that thought, it was like an interesting see, like an
interesting album seeing somebody who is this current generation of
rapper embrace a sound and a style that harkens back
to hip hop of like my time, And so it

(01:17:23):
felt like it was a nice sort of bridge between
between the two. And also it was just very thoughtful.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
I can appreciate what Jolly Bass is doing, but I
much preferred him as a as a cast member of
Mister Robot.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
He was a mister robot. Wow, Okay, have.

Speaker 6 (01:17:39):
You ever seen his his rendition of when Doves Cry?

Speaker 7 (01:17:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Yes, no, I haven't you. I'm scared to see that.
I don't want to do it. I don't want to
see Joey bad. I don't want to see because I
have a negative if that's what you call it.

Speaker 6 (01:17:56):
He's like, it's he's sort of taking the song and
reinterpret it.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
Yeah, he didn't even to do that, and.

Speaker 6 (01:18:02):
It's it's very like, it's very creative an interesting because
you've got like a live band behind him, and there's
there there's like a whole thing on. There's this Australian
radio thing where they do it's called like a version.
Oh yeah, I'm familiar and so yeah, they have like

(01:18:23):
an artist do one of their songs and then they
also do a lot of the song that they that
they like or I've listened to a lot of those
and a lot of times I find them quite regrettable,
and this sounds like one of them that would be
quite regretted.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Even worse still, the.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
Same song, Steve, Yeah, your favorite album of this decade?

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
Nothing, m h.

Speaker 2 (01:18:54):
Not even album, not even Elvis Costello's Wake Up Ghosts.

Speaker 6 (01:18:58):
Or not even James Poyser's intro to why It's the
Next Problem areas.

Speaker 8 (01:19:03):
Wow, wow, look at that, shout out James.

Speaker 2 (01:19:09):
I gotta say that this this uh decade, I've listened
to more comedy albums than I've had records. Like I'll
listen to our stream records and you know, I'll get
records for DJ gigs.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
But won't listen to them.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
But as far as like from beginning to end, comedy
albums were probably the album that I consume the most
this decade, And I.

Speaker 1 (01:19:33):
Kind of have a tie.

Speaker 2 (01:19:35):
Uh, how'd you know taking Na Tarros Live where she
she does a bit where seven hours before she just
got diagnosed with cancer.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and so.

Speaker 2 (01:19:52):
It it's probably one of the greatest recorded moments. Like
to hear her in almost real time, I'm like process
being handed this death sentence in front of an audience
and still trying to be funny like the whole you
know what, what's the rule why of what comedy is?

(01:20:12):
Like tragedy plus tragedy time equal yeah plus time comedy,
Like just.

Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
Agree no, is it true?

Speaker 6 (01:20:23):
That's true?

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Timeless tragedy, Yeah, timeless tragedy equals comedy and so I
felt it was that. However, probably Yeah, the album that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
Had me jaw.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
Dropped, Like is this still allowed Jamar Neighbors America's Nigga was.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:20:46):
It's like we were listening to it like it was
the the a New Tribe call Quest record, Like it
was like two in the morning, Me Neil Brennan, Dave
Chappelle sitting in the car listen, sitting to Jamar Neighbors
like jaw dropped, and it's it's just a mixtape, but

(01:21:06):
to me, like and I feel like it's the last
bit of comedy that got created before the Me Too movement,
like none of none of the contents and don't take
my endorsement as you know, shitting on UH women or
whatever the movement or progress.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
Yeah, everything that he says. Do you know Jamar Neighbors
at all? What? I don't know, if it's kind of down.

Speaker 6 (01:21:34):
I know who Jamar is, I don't. I don't think
we've ever actually met, uh face to face. But I
know Jerrod and we know a lot of people in common,
but I don't think he and I have ever connected.

Speaker 2 (01:21:44):
I just literally thought that everything that was taboo and
couldn't be said on record was done with and over
with and we were just like beyond it all, like
everything was normalized. But yeah, like he found a way
to fuck us up even more.

Speaker 6 (01:22:01):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
Yeah, shout out to putting that on my list.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Thank you, Jamar Neighbors. Yeah, it's it's a mixtape. You
can find it on SoundCloud. And because I love you
so much, like you just give another album.

Speaker 8 (01:22:13):
Really, okay, I put don't judge me, but I put
Jah for you know what I put four four four?

Speaker 7 (01:22:21):
Really I did, and you know I don't do that.
I don't ride for him, but I did love four
for four. It was the black Has I ever heard him?
I kind of loved it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
I don't all right, I might go to hell for this.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
We still want Jay on the show, so don't burn
any bridges.

Speaker 7 (01:22:34):
No, I did enough of that one.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
I don't know if I believe Lemonade or four four four.

Speaker 7 (01:22:41):
I did have Lemonade on.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
I don't believe him.

Speaker 7 (01:22:44):
Oh you think the Lemonade was a dramatic production. I
mean it could be. I ain't sleeping on it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
Well, I think that they know that we like to
be on our own heads and sort of assume what
we think it's about I just I can't fathom.

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
I can't fathom a world and win. These are the
two most watched people ever, Like, how is he going
to find?

Speaker 8 (01:23:07):
But it doesn't even matter anymore to me if Eliminade
is real. It doesn't matter if even if it was
a dramatic production, it was worthy.

Speaker 1 (01:23:14):
Can I ask you something? Has anyone heard?

Speaker 2 (01:23:17):
Because you know, both Beyonce albums are in everyone's decade
in the and you know the first.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
Album, Yeah, I feel like that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
I feel like the first album probably did more for
the business where now more than radio Heads album which
they allowed you to determine how much you want to
pay for it. You know, the idea of like releasing
how she threw it out like that started, So that's
more revolutionary.

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
He's still that from Prince so.

Speaker 3 (01:23:46):
Yes prints every successful black Well the black album was
supposed to be done that way, Oh damn, like it
was it was. It wasn't even supposed to have his
name attached to It was supposed to be released as
something by somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
Oh damn. I never knew that.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
But have you heard any of those albums without its
video counterparts?

Speaker 1 (01:24:02):
Yes? I've never seen the videos I've never seen the
I've only heard, Yeah, I've only consume those records as videos.

Speaker 7 (01:24:12):
And not in the railer skating like.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
Like blow is the only song that that really kind
of resonated with me from just only hearing the songs
and not seeing the videos.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
The wrest of them was just kind of say that
that all creased me out a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:24:26):
I mean it is kind of creepy because yeah, yeah, yeah,
but I don't know, mostly it just it just he
reminds me of like some kind of ship, you know,
you might have roll skated to back.

Speaker 6 (01:24:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24:40):
So John, say, so, who is your person of the decade?
Your artist of the decade?

Speaker 7 (01:24:46):
Damn, we both do that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
That was well you said you decade.

Speaker 7 (01:24:50):
Well it was Anderson, And I feel like.

Speaker 3 (01:24:53):
Defen the decade of the decade because more than yeah,
I understand can't come onto my radar until like twenty
four in the twenty fourte right.

Speaker 8 (01:25:04):
But I'm saying, like those people that you named, they're
also of the previous decades. So if I was going
to say anybody else, it will be Kendrick Lamar, right,
But I just knew everybody else was gonna say Kendrick Lamar.
So I just went with Anderson because I think he's
gonna be timeless. I think he's going to be one
of those artists that will last.

Speaker 7 (01:25:18):
He will last, he.

Speaker 8 (01:25:19):
Will be a legend in his own right. I hope so,
I think so Ahold.

Speaker 6 (01:25:24):
But also just because you had mentioned, like Kanye, there's
a part of it that I wonder, like the music
he's put out in the last decade, is that the
music that we're really gonna remember now for no.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
No, I hope not. I for his is no. I
think you're right. I think you're right. That's what I
never remember him now. I think you're right.

Speaker 2 (01:25:49):
My preference, No, it's you got to separate your preference
for what facts are. Like you get mad at me
for choosing girls. Isn't saying that I chose girls, But.

Speaker 1 (01:25:59):
It's like a fact.

Speaker 2 (01:26:00):
And I feel as though Twisted Dark Fantasy was the
Mason Dixon line that separated through the wire soulful sample.

Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
Kanye Old Kanye from overblown talking out of my ask
Kanye all the time, you know.

Speaker 7 (01:26:17):
And not to do a plug on you.

Speaker 8 (01:26:19):
But like then, why do songs that shook on Jesus
walks like Jesus Walks will.

Speaker 7 (01:26:22):
Stand the test of time, will it not?

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
That was that was that was pre dark twisted Fantasy.

Speaker 6 (01:26:28):
But that's but that's I feel like that's kind of
the question I'm asking is we will define Kanye in
a way, what will define him? But also like I
think Pablo defines Kanye. Really that's I you know what
it's I'm saying, like thirty years from now, Like like
when you think about musicians, like you think about somebody

(01:26:50):
like Marvin Gay and it's like, Okay, nobody thinks about
the albums of the eighties, Like they just think about
like the early sixties. Else what's going on, Like it
kind of stops at a certain point, And those were
the most successful albums for him. I don't know as

(01:27:12):
far as like numbers sold.

Speaker 2 (01:27:14):
Where the difference between Marvin and Kanye is is the
prevalence of celebrity in society and cocaine and well, I'm
pretty sure there was pretty about the same amount of
cocaine on both sides.

Speaker 1 (01:27:32):
That's just my.

Speaker 2 (01:27:34):
Marvin and whatever pills Kanye City.

Speaker 3 (01:27:37):
I'm sure Kanye was sniffing because a lot of that
ship sounds like like cocaine music, like Dark Fantasy.

Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
Sounds like a cocaine but anyway, I digress.

Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
Yeah, I think it's just the level of celebrity that's Like,
you know, if Marvin had been as much in the
press as Kanye in the eighties, it might have been
in the same story, you know, social media.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Okay, if you're asking, like when you look at a
person's uh, what's the word the cannon? Yeah, like we see, like, okay,
well we will take Stevie from music on my mind
up until maybe hotter than July, like that's our cannon
for him or whatever I feel. No, No, I mean
Stevie ad jams afterwards. So for me, I would say

(01:28:25):
that Kanye's cannon will probably be from college dropout to
Twisted Fantasy. Twisted Fantasy, however, okay, maybe think of Sly
Jesus Sly had from a whole new thing to like
to too, I mean whole new thing too. There's a

(01:28:46):
ride going on, but then we'll take there's a ride
going on, fresh and small talk, and then anything after
that is just bullshit. So I think that the train
stopped riding for him after Yay the album.

Speaker 3 (01:29:01):
I think I really think it was after Twist Fantasy,
because you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:05):
Don't think Jesus happened. And I know you like eases,
but you don't like it. But it's it's been critically
acclaimed and millennials swear by it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Do they really swear that?

Speaker 7 (01:29:17):
Millennials has been an interesting decade with you?

Speaker 1 (01:29:19):
No like? All right, So has anyone seen or heard
of Waves? The movie? Y'all?

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
Need sterling Kate Brown, h you must see Waves. It's
so it's the previous so under sells it that it's
necessary because I feel like that's the movie that, uh,
what's the god? I don't I don't want to slander
a film, but I feel like Waves is the film

(01:29:49):
that will floor you in the way that queen and.

Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
Want to floor you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:59):
You must see Waves, I think I feel like that
will be this year's Moonlight.

Speaker 1 (01:30:03):
Yeah, black indie joint, you must see it, blendy joint.
But they use they use I am a God in
such a way from me. That's a song on Jesus.
Remember you didn't listen to it more than once? You're right,
because neither did that.

Speaker 8 (01:30:19):
After I saw the Kardashians dancing a new Slave, I
was done like that.

Speaker 3 (01:30:22):
That ship just did not beg for more than one
listen because it was just so abrasive and and not enjoyable.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
I saw Jesus the way that I saw Old Daddy
Bastards Nigga Please album.

Speaker 3 (01:30:39):
As a question to help someone, or something you listen
to and then you enjoy, and then you feel bad
for listening to because you realize that the person behind
it needs some fucking help, but nobody around them wants
to give me any help because they're all getting paid.

Speaker 2 (01:30:51):
Yes, yes, that's exactly right. Yeah, yeah, exactly so. And
that's why I say Pablo is really that record.

Speaker 1 (01:30:59):
Like Jesus, what I will say about Pablo, like what
I thought was the true cry for help record.

Speaker 3 (01:31:07):
What I found what I what I found interesting about
Pablo was not the music, was the fact that he
was willing to to edit it in real time, like
as after it. Like, I thought that was interesting. I
thought that was an interesting approach. Like I don't know
if it was intentional, but I thought that was definitely
an interesting way to approach, you know, releasing an album

(01:31:28):
as something that was you know, once it's out in
the market, it's not necessarily finished. You can still keep
working on it. I thought that was interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
It was I.

Speaker 8 (01:31:38):
Can't either Howard University and gonna talk about and we
ain't gonna get caught like the rest of them.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
I can't talk about something else to everybody about.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
The one who passed. But let me let me you
can't talk about this decade without talking about Conny. He can't.
They can't. Like again, it's not about your preferences. This
is about what happened. It wouldn't be thorough. I have
a theory.

Speaker 2 (01:32:10):
I have a theory about Yeah that I shared before,
which is basically, I think he had a plan to
troll list and everything. You know, he put the Instagram
out with his hat on I'm gonna do this, I'm
gonna do that, and he thought he was gonna be
slick with it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:25):
He didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
He didn't figure in that he was going to get
schooled on TMZ Live.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
He definitely.

Speaker 7 (01:32:34):
A struggled son.

Speaker 1 (01:32:35):
So yeah, Van, he did for what.

Speaker 7 (01:32:39):
Because he got into it with the white boy at you.

Speaker 1 (01:32:42):
Hear about that.

Speaker 2 (01:32:43):
I don't want to m Z like that, but so yeah,
Van school and Kanye like that. Kanye was totally unprepared
for this ship. And Kanye also wasn't prepared for Donald
Glover to host SNL that Saturday and released This is

(01:33:04):
America on Sunday, which basically just turned all that poopy
scoop conversation and just washed it out. And then suddenly
this is America became the conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
Of it all sounds the same. To me, it all
sounded like poopy scoop it was.

Speaker 8 (01:33:19):
Remember when we discovered that, like Donald Glover, don't be
saying in his music I'm sorry.

Speaker 7 (01:33:23):
But this was like the decade you discovered I did,
I'm sorry, I heard about feelings. Did we not remember this?
Like this is America? What the fuck is he saying?
It's the video like you remember? And then it was
the other.

Speaker 1 (01:33:33):
Ship on there.

Speaker 7 (01:33:38):
You really got us, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
Atlanta is great but childish bullshit.

Speaker 7 (01:33:45):
I love Kawhi.

Speaker 6 (01:33:46):
That was my ship.

Speaker 10 (01:33:47):
Okay, So movies, ladies, Jo, did you see any movies?

Speaker 8 (01:33:58):
Like, yeah, saw all of them and I just did
get Come on, just get out Black Panther.

Speaker 1 (01:34:04):
I still haven't seen Black Panther yet.

Speaker 3 (01:34:07):
You have not seen I haven't seen Black Panther yet,
but remember it also took me like ten years to
see The Wire. So but what movie resonated with?

Speaker 2 (01:34:16):
You get Black Panthers?

Speaker 7 (01:34:19):
Get Out, Black Panther brid.

Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
Okay, I wanted to keep it, keep it short and sustinct, sugar, Steve.

Speaker 7 (01:34:32):
Im, Sorry, I don't know what that snort.

Speaker 1 (01:34:34):
That pornhook movie you watched last night? Doesn't that count?

Speaker 7 (01:34:37):
They do?

Speaker 1 (01:34:40):
From the whole decade? Wow? I mean, I got a list.
I can go while you think about it. Yeah, why
don't you keep going?

Speaker 3 (01:34:47):
So my list the movies I enjoyed from the last
ten years include titles like bridesmaid as as like you mentioned,
Attack the Block I thought was really good. What was
that John Boyega was in it?

Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, it was really good. It was a
UK film. This is the End I thought was really
fucking excellent, A movie that I had forgotten about until
it actually came out.

Speaker 1 (01:35:15):
Boyhood, Yes, yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:35:18):
The concept. Do you remember that, Steve?

Speaker 5 (01:35:21):
Yes, I remember that good concept.

Speaker 3 (01:35:25):
Two movies that somebody I saw on the internet recently
said that we're really good but they never really feel
the need to watch again Birdman and Whiplash. Really I
enjoyed both films, but I really don't feel the need
to watch them again. Like I really enjoyed them, Like
I thought they were excellent fucking films, but I don't
think I'll ever watch either.

Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
One of them again.

Speaker 7 (01:35:44):
Michael Keaton was really cool.

Speaker 3 (01:35:46):
I'm always a big Michael k I'm a big Michael
Keaton fan, Like he's still my Batman as far as
I'm concerned. Oh Ship, I'm just gonna keep going. John Wick,
which one the first one I saw? Haven't seen the
count which one was common in he was in the
second one. Okay, I've saw the third one. I've only
seen the first one. Okay, okay, So john Wick is good. Yeah,

(01:36:07):
john Wick was the first one was weird. I haven't
watched the other ones yet, so I really can't, you know,
watch whether whether they're eating good or not. Top five
I thought was fucking excellent. Chris Rock's movie. Yes, oh yeah,
Someone was great. I thought that was good.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
Get Out of Course and uh ex Makina.

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
I used to call it sex machine, matter of fact,
matter of fact.

Speaker 1 (01:36:34):
Whenever they were like like four Gas members came on.

Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
To promote it, we would just do sex machine, sex machine.

Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
Like an x Markana.

Speaker 7 (01:36:45):
That's a real title.

Speaker 3 (01:36:47):
Yes, it's look at it. It's a really good movie.
I think it came out like twenty eleven.

Speaker 6 (01:36:52):
But a lady Robot. Yeah, and guys who want to
control a Lady Robot.

Speaker 1 (01:36:58):
Came out in twenty fourteen. I'm jumping in line. I'm
jumping in line.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
I enjoyed, I enjoyed Going Girl. And I will also
say that.

Speaker 1 (01:37:12):
Tyler Perry did a great I like Tyler Perry as
an actor. Yeah, you know, I felt that.

Speaker 7 (01:37:19):
He wasn't great cross with No.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
I'm just saying that as an I want to see
more of Tyler Perry being directed by other people, by
other people.

Speaker 1 (01:37:30):
Yes, I hope I don't go to hell for that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
You know what, For all the talk of the irishman wants,
I went, you gotta see at the movie theater, like
you owe it to yourself to see the Swan. I
see it as a Swan song. So it's almost like
putting thriller on your I feel like it's going to
be this one. First of all, de Niro don't want
to act no more, for he's yeah, he's speaking.

Speaker 1 (01:37:57):
Like I'm retiring all this stuff. Damn.

Speaker 2 (01:37:58):
But this is I mean, this is really the last
time you're gonna get those mob film right de Niro?

Speaker 1 (01:38:04):
Right? Right? I got you.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
So I can't even conclude that. So that said, I
feel bad. I really liked Wolf of Wall Street.

Speaker 1 (01:38:13):
Oh it was good. I enjoyed it. Yeah. Yeah. Have
you all heard of the Lobster? I saw it, but
I don't remember. I saw it when I was on
the plane, and I love the Lobster. Colin Farrell, the.

Speaker 8 (01:38:25):
Three people speaking of porn Hub highlight shout us to
you ladies, google it.

Speaker 7 (01:38:31):
Colin Farrell, that's so two thousand and it doesn't matter.

Speaker 8 (01:38:34):
Stop it, don't you still don't do that anyway?

Speaker 1 (01:38:40):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
You know what really shocked the ship out of me
that I had to see it twice.

Speaker 1 (01:38:44):
That's Good Time. I don't know, I don't all right,
So Good.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
Time is a film that start okay, uh.

Speaker 6 (01:38:53):
Jonah Hill's movie, No, no, no, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:38:55):

Adam Sandler is it now?

Speaker 1 (01:39:02):
Good Time is with Robert Pattinson.

Speaker 6 (01:39:05):
Oh right, yes, right.

Speaker 1 (01:39:09):
So they're they're Roberts.

Speaker 2 (01:39:12):
Their their style of filmmaking is so fucking awesome that
literally I did not know I was watching Robert Pattinson
the same way that you know. I'm certain that people
will probably shocked if Adam Sandler gets uh Best Actor

(01:39:35):
talk for this new film that he's in about thee Yeah,
playing the villain.

Speaker 6 (01:39:41):
A suburban villain.

Speaker 1 (01:39:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
Oh wait, shout out, shout out wait as a comedian.

Speaker 1 (01:39:47):

Speaker 6 (01:39:50):
His stand up special?

Speaker 1 (01:39:51):
Yes, you're indifferent to it?

Speaker 9 (01:39:56):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:39:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:39:58):
Like it was?

Speaker 1 (01:39:59):
I felt like it was him acting like Adam Sandler.
Yeah like it.

Speaker 6 (01:40:05):
It felt like a kind of like some of the
greatest hits type of a thing. It didn't you know what,
I don't know. It didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):
I like.

Speaker 2 (01:40:14):
I missed the Adam Sandler train of the beginning, like
the early nineties stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:40:20):
We were living in Europe and then so they're all
gonna laugh at you every day, all that stuff. I
knew none of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:40:27):
I knew sweatshirt shirt, Yeah, I knew that, but I
didn't know anything. And the only Adam Sander I like
was this serious stuff like spanglish and punched.

Speaker 1 (01:40:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:40:40):
Yeah, uh you got the fifty first dates yet Brennan.

Speaker 2 (01:40:44):
Well, Brennan hit me up and says, I guarantee you're
gonna watch this ten times. And I was like, I'm
not even Adam Sanling, Frank, get the fuck out of here.
So I went to sleep and then like woke up
at four in the morning, like, let me see what
he's talking about, and actually watched it. I I was
floored at how brilliant.

Speaker 1 (01:41:03):
Yeah, I was surprised too, so brilliant. It's so brilliant. Yo. Seriously,
like you said, I actually found myself. You know, my
eyes were tearing up by the end. I was tearing up. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:41:16):
It's funny and it's sad also, and I'd be remiss
if I didn't mention OJ's Made in America documentary.

Speaker 6 (01:41:24):
Aman, director of OJ Made in America.

Speaker 1 (01:41:26):
That's thirty, Yes, thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:41:32):
And also I loved Inside Out from Pixar, which I recommend,
yes as yeah, as as a guy in that world now, yo,
I highly recommend Inside.

Speaker 1 (01:41:49):
Yes. It is.

Speaker 5 (01:41:51):
There's so many shows and movies, all right, there is,
think about it.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
There is. We haven't even talked about music yet.

Speaker 7 (01:41:58):
We did we did, We did, we did, we did?

Speaker 6 (01:42:00):
We did?

Speaker 2 (01:42:02):
So any last words before we sign off, just get
it off all your chest anything that you want to.

Speaker 7 (01:42:08):
No, man, I just want you to rock with us
in the What was.

Speaker 2 (01:42:11):
Your humble break of of this decade? No, what was
your tragedy of this decade? What was the most tragic
thing of this decade?

Speaker 1 (01:42:19):
Wrote down quickly.

Speaker 8 (01:42:20):
Because wrapping up because my grandma died, so that was
really sad.

Speaker 7 (01:42:25):
Whatever.

Speaker 8 (01:42:29):
Also say, the death of black unarmed black man to
police violence.

Speaker 1 (01:42:33):
That was pretty get That didn't make my list. Now
what's your humble break?

Speaker 7 (01:42:39):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (01:42:43):
In the last ten years of bitch dried out and
stand up and then she actually was a talent booker
for you know, your executive produced by Quest eleven to Trotter.

Speaker 7 (01:42:52):
So that was pretty cool. That's my humble bred cool.

Speaker 1 (01:42:55):
Yeah, all right? You still sticking in comedy?

Speaker 7 (01:43:00):
Just be funny?

Speaker 1 (01:43:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (01:43:02):
Man, you gotta fail myself every time I go on stage,
got it, you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:05):
Gotta you gotta you gotta feel it to heal it.
You gotta fail some more. Take it from a comedian,
not mesh thinking, but the one that's that's where to get.

Speaker 1 (01:43:14):
Out of here right now?

Speaker 6 (01:43:15):
What why I was promised three hours?

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
Why? What was you even?

Speaker 6 (01:43:20):
Once we wrap it up, I'm sticking around, Okay, me
and James, we're gonna order a pizza.

Speaker 1 (01:43:27):
All right. What was your tragedy of a decade?

Speaker 6 (01:43:30):
Well, I never even got to do a movie.

Speaker 1 (01:43:32):
Oh what's your movie? Run it back?

Speaker 6 (01:43:36):
Let's go to chapter seventeen of this episode. The movie
I was gonna say, in keeping with what defined this decade,
and I'm not saying this as a movie that I
think was like a great movie for the decade. It's
just what defines a decade. It was Suicide Squad. And

(01:43:57):
the reason I say that is because I feel like
in another twenty to thirty years, I feel like we
will look at this decade and what it did for
superhero movies in a way that we look at how
like Westerns had like their heyday and eventually the Westerns

(01:44:20):
bubble kind of like burst.

Speaker 1 (01:44:22):
And then we all look at them like not another
fucking Western.

Speaker 6 (01:44:25):
Yeah, And I feel like Suicide Squad was that movie
where we kind of gleamed the cube on superhero movies
and it was like and not just that we did that,
but it now shifted to like, Okay, now let's focus
on villains, right, and now we have the jokervies like Joker,

(01:44:46):
which is, you know, gonna be.

Speaker 7 (01:44:47):
The really smart so.

Speaker 6 (01:44:49):
You do not like villains, well, I just feel like
it's a weird thing. Like Joker to me just feels
like porn for in cells, and it feels like these
like it feels like there's a part of this that
it's like these movies are just like for all the
kind of for all yeah, for all those disaffected bros.

(01:45:13):
Like this is all just like the things that they
jerk off to before they go and be shitty in
the world. And so that's so I so I kind
of see all of these and it feels like, oh,
Suicide Squad was like, okay, yeah, we can make a
superhero movie about anything, and then it kind of went

(01:45:38):
this way of like, Okay, yeah, now let's make Joker.

Speaker 1 (01:45:42):
Why not? Sure?

Speaker 8 (01:45:44):
Yeah, I think old Girls probably gonna get a movie too, Joker's.

Speaker 6 (01:45:47):
Girl Harley Quinn. I think they're making a movie, yeah,
or no, they already. Yeah, I think they've already. Actually
there's posters out for it. But yeah, like in theory,
these are the monster of these comic books, like they're murderers,
and it's like, but let's hear let's hear them out
like that is it is very much the Trump's like

(01:46:10):
there's good people on both sides.

Speaker 3 (01:46:12):
I mean, we we have, you know, the entire horror
genre which is basically built off of villains.

Speaker 7 (01:46:17):
Sure, yeah, but we don't love them though. Like suicide.
Squat was like, oh it is another side.

Speaker 3 (01:46:22):
Okay, Well maybe we just need to Maybe we just
need to, you know, take a good look at you know,
the way.

Speaker 2 (01:46:27):
We're our thought process and how we're looking at these things.

Speaker 7 (01:46:31):
Why you ask him everything?

Speaker 2 (01:46:34):
Yeah, Hey, hey, did you watch movie Steve?

Speaker 5 (01:46:41):
Now I'm gonna go to tragedies for one hundred Yeah,
the school shootings, the mass shootings is the tragedies. Uh,
the biggest tragedy for me this decade, this year and
all that why we didn't.

Speaker 7 (01:46:57):
Really get yours? Sorry because you did the movie.

Speaker 6 (01:47:00):
Yeah, I did the movie thing. I don't really have
a humble brag.

Speaker 5 (01:47:06):
Yeah, sorry, that's really really really humble not to have
one at all.

Speaker 6 (01:47:12):
That's true. So I guess that's my humble brag.

Speaker 1 (01:47:15):
Cam.

Speaker 7 (01:47:17):
Yeah, go ahead, I mean give us your humble brags.

Speaker 1 (01:47:20):
Is he capable?

Speaker 2 (01:47:25):
I will say that my tragedy was no doubt, I
consider Prince Stein more fucked up than Trump being president?

Speaker 1 (01:47:35):
Really? Wow, I actually think I think, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:47:43):
I think Trump being president was probably more important than
Obama being president. Why because we needed to. I feel
like with Obama being president, well, it was just a
thing of we just swept under the We just swept
ship under the rug like she was on the doors.

Speaker 1 (01:48:05):
We swept under the rug before.

Speaker 2 (01:48:08):
Now with Trump, it's it's almost undeniable image.

Speaker 3 (01:48:12):
What you can deny anything if you if you try
hard enough. No, I'm it's diamond and silk.

Speaker 1 (01:48:21):
Nice one, nice one, nice one.

Speaker 6 (01:48:24):
Listen, diamonds.

Speaker 2 (01:48:31):
So yeah, I you know, I just think that was
hella tragic. Humble brag is. Hopefully we'll still be here
next week.

Speaker 1 (01:48:44):
I hope we got a good show line up.

Speaker 7 (01:48:46):
That's why.

Speaker 6 (01:48:50):
Yeah, you don't have you don't have me the replacement.
