For decades, JET Magazine was the leading publication chronicling the Black experience, then it all came crumbling down. The new president of JET, Daylon Goff, breaks down his approach to repositioning the iconic JET brand, and scams he saw in his time pre-JET as a minority ad executive in ultra-white spaces. Daylon also shares why he chose to pivot from success in the advertising world to try and bring this iconic brand back from the ashes. Daylon also discusses if the new iteration of JET will still have the ‘JET Beauty of the Week’– or, as Roy calls it – Page 43. @Rod4Short offers a more “modern” solution. Never have sex with someone dating a dude who works at Foot Locker. Roy learned the hard way.
NOW HIRING: A Florida Christian school after a teacher takes a "L" for reportedly twerking on a student. As the fallout from the Boston Celtics sex scandal reverberates, @Rod4Short tiptoes around what some consider unhealthy watercooler advice. Forgive but don't forget? The team debates. And on the other side of the scale, is a wild story of a fishing cheating scandal that could lead to superstar anglers behind bars. It's more than just fishy.
A news reporter is doing what she needs to do to deliver important weather updates even if that means using a condom.
SCAM OF THE WEEK: A former stadium vendor calls in to detail how he lined his pockets while selling beers at a football stadium not to be named due to legal concerns because our lawyers are super duper careful.

delinquency of a miner and a second felony charge for
engaging in lewd conduct with a student. Wow. Investigator say,
at least two other people tried to stop the teacher
while she danced on the student, even get in between
the two. What she was gonna get it one way?
Your another was a juvenile. That's hilarious, Jackline, What does
(01:29):
that I mean? You can't help yourself when juvenile. You know, so,
your honor, my client is not guilty, and we all
know when back that ass up comes on, you're such
a freak, Jacqueline. That is not true. That is not
true either is the argument of you can't help yourself
(01:51):
when back that ass comes up, or it's just Florida
as a state. Florida. My name is Roy, this is
(02:21):
my job for Wednesday is the best day of the week.
I don't know when you listen to this acoustical radio presentation,
just know that it is presented fresh You're hot for
you on Wednesdays wherever you download podcast. Um. I'm not
saying that other days of the week of whack, but
I am saying that Wednesday is the one that is
(02:41):
the best. Any other day is whack. Friday's payday and
all that money be gone as soon as it hit
your counts. Saturday's trash because that's where you spend all
the money. Sunday, Monday is the next day. How can
you enjoy Sunday morning? That Monday is around the corner.
But Wednesday, she is the white blood cells that keeps
the show pure. J G. How are you doing it though?
(03:03):
I'm well, Roy how are you? Oh good? Thank you
to everybody whom shot an email it two in regards
to um the brother Banks last week, Ramsey High School
and the death of music and everything that's going on
with trying to get the bands back to the school system.
(03:25):
But um, we have to say thank you to you
really quickly. I apologize for interrupting, but you started that
world wind role of people donating, and there's still time
to donate because they try to get to New York.
We've got to get these young children to New York
City so they can get their first rat bike. And
I think that's it's rats about Carnegie Hall. So yeah, yeah,
(03:54):
we didn't say an uptown rat was in Manhattan rat
just a little like third. How's the young fourth doing
with the football? He's he giving up on it yet
or is he loving it? Because this is about that
point with sports where your kid doing something for the
first time, but they're kind of go ahid daddy, this
ship trash. You know. The weird take on that man
is Ralph played spring football and now he's playing fall
(04:18):
football without understanding that most people have a full year
in between seasons. So so now when he's out there
with the kids. He said stuff like, yeah, you know
back when I was playing in the spring, you know
it was way tougher round. That was two months ago. Bro, Like,
it's not, it was not. It was not all time
A man um the shout out to my playing field times.
(04:40):
We're currently one in three. We're working on it, brother,
we're working on I don't think you should shout out
of teams. They they are kids and this is encouragement.
So you know what I'm saying, y'all just get better. Please,
if you're listening to this and you play for Ralph's team,
turn it off and go to study some football. Go
watch some tapes. Please watch something coming just for me.
(05:01):
Go watch something on open field wrapping people up for coach.
That's all I'm asking. We asked that you visit us
on all the socials at Roy's job Fair or Roy's
job Fair dot com if you ever want to be
a partner program Russ job Fair. Gmail is the email address.
Uh j G. What's your sidebar? Real quick? Oh? My
(05:22):
sidebar is a note from your uncle. He didn't send
an email, He just called me directly. He wants you
to know he has an iPad and he's ready to
be on the show. After three times being on this show,
he found technology to be on the show. Yes, he
has an iPad? Who about Uncle Derek and iPad? That's
(05:45):
telling his face? I'll tell you out fair. Oh to
a woman, you think Uncle Dave's discovered only fans. Don't
ever mentioned only fans to my uncle, because my uncle
is one of the mines that don't fall for it
and be messaging the women actually talking to him and
don't realize he's talking to some hired intern. You got
a choice. He can either, you know, do the only
(06:07):
fans thing, or he can follow a ride on Twitter
like that's that's a that's a pretty fair playoff one
way or the other. Well, we're gonna work on turning
it on first. That's what he don't don't you know.
I have to help him, Jaqueline. I'm asking you respectfully
as a friend, please don't help my uncle into the
(06:29):
portal that is the web. Please, no, no, no, that
flip phone was perfect, cause it ain't, but so much
mischief you can get in on a flip phone. But
he wants to learn. Speaking of, it's about time to
do another freaky episode. Maybe we need to rack up
some only fans people and stuff like that real quick. Also,
let me make this solicit right now. Rod's relationship fair
(06:51):
for December. If you want to share some workplace sex
and but naked action that's been going on, we would
love to hear from you. Um, We're gonna have a
two tim or for that one on me. Uncle Tappy
from back in the International Players episode, Tappy Tappy, is
that gonna come back? He sent a message to the
job their d M s on the I G says
(07:12):
Uncle Tappy quote. Listening to the Rods Relationship Office Party episode,
it reminded me of the time I slept with someone
for months in the academic department who thought I was single.
I love I love that Tappy didn't tell it. How
do how does she? Okay? Yeah, I'm gonna Tappy to
(07:32):
talk that one out. Yeah yeah, I'll stop right there.
As is customary once every four months, this is the
part of the show where I have to ask you
to rate and review us. And I don't like doing this,
and I know that every podcast asked you to rate
(07:53):
and review and tell us did you like it? And
tell a friend. We never do that. But here's how
pot casts or metrics and decided upon its literally it's
literally decided to pulling how many people interact and engaged.
And so if you love us, this is our Once
every five months, ask to whatever app you're on, please
(08:14):
rate the podcast. Write two sentences and say it's good
or they're not good, five stars whatever. And I promised
to not ask you again until probably February. Is that fair.
I'll check in with them and see if they're in
the mood. So this is me taking the temperature. We're
gonna talk with the homie Dalen Golf today, uh, the
(08:36):
new president of Jet magazine. And apparently there's some scams
going on down there at these football stadiums when they're
selling the bear. We're gonna find out what the fun
going on down there as well. But first it's time
for the most Outstanding Employee of the Week. Now, it's
hurricane season. Never a good time when you see the
(08:57):
hurricanes out there and see those reporters. Why why are
we still putting reporters out? Thank you hurricane? Please answer
that makes no sense. Saying holding them down makes no sense. Okay,
See the wind is blowing very hard. I don't know
(09:19):
if you can tell by the ripples in my face.
Thank you, thank you. Can you tell us a little
bit about what you're seeing on the ground, nothing, motherfucker,
I can't. There's driving rain hitting me in my face
at about two hundred and fifty mile an hour. All
I see is darkness, darkness. So there was a hurricane
(09:45):
a little while back up there. And where was it
the Gulf coast side of Florida, Hurricane Ian Strap Brown,
you know, somewhere around um Naples and Fort Myers, um.
And it's one thing about reporting that you have to do.
You have to improvise m you know. And if you're
(10:08):
out there in those elements a lot of water. Electronics
can get wet m okay, and they put the little
they have a case, you know for the cameras. Now
all weather okay, And it's not what what what is
the different waterproof versus water resistance? That's the difference. There's
waterproof versus water resistance. That's the real trip. Yeah, like,
(10:31):
get a little water off it, but it's not water tight.
Water Proof is means it's water tight. If I'm not mistaken,
I'm not sure. It means it's water tight. Water resistance
means that you can put it in water, and it
can and it can hold for a certain amount of time,
but you can't like just hold it down there forever.
It's still gonna kirk out promise that. Okay, okay, got
you so wonderful reporter. It was out there reporting in
(10:55):
the rain and NBC two reporter Kylie Galor he's on
camera giving her live reporting the rain, and you know
she has to do that with a microphone and that
rain is coming down profusely. What is the most efficient way, Jacqueline,
if you did not have the proper microphone casing to
(11:16):
properly protect this microphone and waterproof from the element, what
would you how would you? What would you mcgiver a
microphone cover out of Well, I couldn't use you've worked
in journalism, j television. I couldn't use a plastic bag
because that's too much creakily noise. A box doesn't make
(11:37):
any sense because it's going to get wet and fall apart.
Kyler Gally used the condom with a reservoir. Oh oh wow,
she rolled that condom down that long, big black microphone.
Yes you did not say the long, big black microphone,
big black microphone, that micro that right up to a
(12:03):
mouth and kept reporting, Yo, you know what. You know what, man, o,
some awesome real ship. That's actually the smartest thing that
you could possibly do in that situation. Because the condom
won't stop the sound from coming through. Plus hopefully it
wasn't lubricated, she wouldn't have any cook on her hands.
But you know, at the end of the day, it
(12:23):
protects the microphone. Where did she learn this? Where did
she learn to protect her microphone? Like this way? That's
really smart. What was interesting though, is that a lot
of people were kind of like teasing Earn on it
and like teasing NBC, but like there's no other real
tech which you know, some finding needing to fulfill it.
Why isn't there a waterproof microphone cover that has been
(12:45):
invented at this point? Because these microphones cost hundreds of
dollars and usually most local news outfits there is no backup.
So you know what, man, it sounds to me like
you got a business venture here, Roy that you're missing
out on. Bro. You know what I'm saying? The would
microphone condom you make a killer? Jacquelin's use microphone time,
(13:06):
we make a killing. It's the best thing to use
in that situation is actually a really true. Well, it
sound like we got out of the side hustle real quick.
We need them make that's a little little condom, get paid, bro.
I'm trying to tell you here's the bigger question. Third,
she was reporting from very dangerous areas evacuation areas during
(13:29):
Hurricane Ian, which means no stores was open. Is that
part of your standard reported outfit does have a draghe
little makeup? Get your makeup bag. It's the same ship
to correspondents, care you have a second suit in case
of ship happened to the first suit? And then also
condo because somebody might woma just happen to have a
(13:49):
lubricated mint condom with you. I understand, never know when
you have to have a three pack? Was it a twelve?
How did you pack this? Have questions for UK I
do it? I know we can't get to him right now,
we don't have enough time. But nonetheless, for helping I
don't I don't know which brand now that would be
(14:11):
is a magnum that is not for doing what ever
needed to be done during a live hit to keep
the technology rolling so that people could get the information
and get themselves to safety, even if it meant holding
a big black microphone dot condom rode all the way
(14:33):
down that chaft. Oh my goodness, gracious congratulations to you,
Kyla Gaylor. Most Outstanding Employee of the Week, brought to
you by Trojan Condoms to prefer all hurricane coveragere worst
from first time Roger Early, Hello to you, getting ready
(14:54):
to get a member of the two time club. He
might be three times three time, I might do I'm
a spade head or something like that. That's what we don't.
That's our pleasure to invite back on the program a
gentleman that you made no one love. From the episode
titled Lemon Pepper Vodka. Well, this guy, damn Schemer detailed
(15:16):
the ways in which he worked at a nightclub in Charlotte.
Damn switched dr Great Dudes for Stoly Vodka and still
made you. Motherfucker's paid three hundred dollars for it in
v I. Okay, not one of my proudest, but one
of my proudest moments man all day. Bring it back.
You know, hey, this brother is the new president of
(15:37):
a magazine that I have always loved. Shout out to
page motherfucking forty three I love it. I love it.
I love it. Yes, j G. Who is this man
we got on the line. We have Dalen Golf and
he is the current president of Jet Magazine. Dalen has
(15:58):
worked in brand marketing for over fifteen years. Previously, as
you said, he was the marketing director for wing Stop Restaurants,
and he'll be talking with you today, Roy about the
opportunities and challenges that come with running a company with
such a rich history as Jet. Hello, Dalen, Dalen Golf,
(16:21):
welcome back to the job fair. I'm gonna just say
it right now. You officially a three time Okay, I'm
pretty sure you're pretty I feel like this is the
third time. I know we talked to I got a document,
pretty I ain't. We ain't even check the do We
got a goddamn nagy page word dr every guest, and
(16:42):
we too lazy to search for the ship. Dalen, What
made you take this on? And you seem to be
doing just fine at Wayne stopped growing that brand and
making the pivot. What made you take over Jet Magazine? Yeah?
Why you? Why you go from black Ass Food the
black ass magazine? You were trying to get people to
(17:10):
read a magazine in the era where a lot of
the stuff that is in a magazine Jet Jet Magazine
for the young uns. That was black Twitter in a
pamphlet every week, every single it was the excellence about us.
It was all of the TVs and movies. There was
a little bit of gossip, you know, it'd he'd be
uppity black gossip like you know, did Bobby cheat on Whitness?
(17:31):
You know, ship like that, But that and it was
also it was also really black because it was also
a week late, normally a week to two weeks later.
It was very black. That was was persistent, consistently late
because the January thirteenth issue, like it's the thirtieth bro January,
(17:58):
Happy Black, valentized that and mag it's March four, Thank
you No. But to j G's question, though, what what
made you take on the challenge of trying to rejuvenate
and because I can't say bring back the Jet officially
(18:19):
go out of print and go digital or did it
go out of print altogether, Well, went out of print,
went digital and then went bankrupt. So absolutely it's to
bring it back situation. And part of what you're talking
about is one of the reasons why I felt the
need to take on this particular challenge. Now, if you
really look at my career, I've been multicultural marketing most
(18:43):
of my career. When I met you down at Essence,
I was handling multicultural marketing for a brand like uh
Stay farm To, whereas they were looking at how to
be able to tap into black audiences, how to be
able to talk to them in a very authentic way,
and how to be able to tap into the paces
and spaces where that audience live. You haven't done that
(19:03):
my entire life. Say well, now you have ended the
black Jake from State farm. I didn't. I did not
invent black Jake, but I worked for the agency that
actually did that. But as I always told people, I
was my My job for years was Anthony Anderson's character
on Blackish. That's literally what I did. I explained black
(19:25):
culture to white owned brands and white audiences and white
leadership and being able to say, no, this is where
you need to be, this is what's up and coming,
this is what's popping. Black culture is pop culture before
it's pop culture, and usually by the time it becomes
pop culture, we over that ship. We're doing on the
suthing else. So, if you are a brand that's able
(19:46):
to tap into black culture early and often you get
the credit and get the ride with it, which is
exactly what happened. From a Wingstop perspective, we were Wingstop
is not a black owned company. Now Ross owns a
considerable amount. We have a lot of you know, well
they have a lot of um they call them brand partners,
but franchisees that are black. But the reality of it is,
(20:07):
most of the people pulling the strings at the very
very top don't look like us. So if you're a
brand that is able to capture it earlier and often,
you're gonna be able to ride that wave and you're
gonna be that get that credit before it goes to
being pop culture. You'll get the cool factor. You'll get
the kids on social media like, oh nah, I funk
with wing Stop, or you know, I like Nike, or
(20:29):
I like these brands that you know, even like a Supreme,
you like, oh I like Supreme. Even reality of it is,
Supreme is very wide owned. But you're tapping into black
culture and you get the credibility that comes from Wendy's
is absolutely good by the way they talk about it
on social and so there's a connection honestly with Wendy's
and Jet, and I'll kind of go through that and
(20:51):
kind of tell you how I came to be position.
Hold up, yeah, Dylan, are you are you trying to
tell me that that I might be popping to surprise?
But the jaw of the jaw the jet by the
person who does Wendy social media on Twitter because I
always thought that she was black, understanding, I just thought
it was a face. Because that that that that Wendy's
(21:11):
Twitter is off the chain and I can see you
doing that. Did you all? Did you all going by
that white girl until her she's Tina Marie? Absolutely didn't.
But I do know who it is over there, and
it's not a girl, But yes, I do know because
my only person that want to see and my only
person want to see, like the full body of Wendy
from Wendy's did just see what perfect? This is what happens? Well, lord,
(21:35):
I'm a perfect. This is what happens when Roy goes
to the strip club and why goes back to that.
I want to see the full body got this voice
stolen about Winch, she got cursed out there. Back to
answer your specific question, the reason I took this role
is I've been explaining black culture the white people in
(21:57):
the white brands for a long time. Why not take
all that experience that I've been able to garner all
over these years. To be able to do that for
an iconic brand like this was this was personal for me.
This was I'm developing this probe called my Jet Story,
my personal Jet story, because everybody has a connection to
the brand, especially from a black experience. Mine started at
(22:20):
when I was eight years old, going to park with
barbershop in Kansas City, Kansas on Sister Friday, needing to
get a haircut, or that Saturday morning, needing to get
a haircut. And there's this stack of Jet magazines just
sitting there and you just looking through every one of them,
and you're seeing what's going on in Black America. And
this is from a kid from Kansas City, Kansas. Like
(22:40):
I'm from Kansas so I can be able to see
what's going on across the nation, like what's popping in
d C, in Little Rock, in you know, California, in
New York. Like that opened me up to that entire world.
So I had to go back to albums on the
back so you knew which albums. Even check out sound
(23:01):
Scam movie box Office. The TV ratings of black shows,
it was a black shot. They showed you which black
people was gonna be on the show that particular week.
So looking at that and understanding that week actually the
week before, it might be a little like, but they're
gonna come on again, They're gonna come on Theyna, come home,
They're gonna be bad. We as a culture, we support
(23:24):
our own and that was one of the things whereas
from a historic standpoint, we always kind of rallied around,
we circle the wagons, like now this this is one
of us. So we're gonna give you all the benefits
of the doubt because from a white culture, they don't
give you benefit of the doubt. You are the doubt initially.
So that's where from a black owned media standpoint, where
(23:45):
there's that need to be able to have this this platform,
to be able to tell to tell the stories for us,
by us and all about us. Love it or hate it,
it's still us and we need to be able to
own and and honor those stories. So that's one of
the reasons why I was like man when I got
the call from the Bridgeman family, who I talked about Wendy's.
(24:05):
The Bridgeman family owned evidence Jet. They bought it out
of bankruptcy, and they bought it because they owned roughly
four d these locations at one point in time and
then ended up selling some of them and bought the
Co Cola bottling plant in Kansas City and the one
in the country of Canada. So they have amassed a
substantial amount of black wealth. And then they said, you
(24:30):
know what, We're gonna own our own things. And you
know that's kind of how you know, that opportunity presented itself.
So when they called and was like, Dylan, what would
you do if we gave you the keys to Jet?
I was like, wait a minute, Like this man, okay,
this you know. I had to take a step back
and set my cup down. Um. But in doing that,
(24:50):
it's like, no, I gotta do this for myself to
be able to challenge myself, but also doing it. I
hate to overuse it, but damn it, it's the truth.
I was doing this ship for the cold and I
know that I can be able to take the skills
that I have in order to bring it back to
its prominence. Because honestly, Jet as a brand It's iconic
no matter what. When I rock a shirt like this
(25:12):
and I'm walking through the airport, it's still okay. I
like it. I like it, I like it. I actually
love it. Jet Magazine is a vintage brand. It's an
iconic brand absolutely. So I'm looking at those little nuances
and like, Okay, how can I be able to flip it,
extract the value do some cool things. Damn if I
(25:33):
made Wingstop cool, I think I can't make Jet back cool,
Like let's just be for real here. So that's kind
of where I looked at it as the opportunity to
be able to do that. You're the one that told
Rick Ross the show is ted is and get the
numbers up at Winston. Nobody controls Ross, nobody controls Bross.
But if you notice, if you watch that Versus battles
(25:57):
that was on where he took his shirt off and
you saw all the Wingstop branding that wasn't supposed to happen,
that was me. I literally say food truck to the
studio and I made them feed everybody in the entire studio.
I paid zero dollars and zero sense to be on
that Versus Battle, but I literally fed everybody in the
whole station. So when my team went up there and
(26:19):
put those bags there and everything else, it was like,
you good because we fall over here, we're straight. And
then Ross took his shirt off, and then you know,
the rest is history. After the break, we're gonna get
into it with a little bit more of Dalen Golf.
We need to talk about the world of being a
black ad exact at white companies and what that world
was like and there was any little scamming and shadiness
(26:40):
going on in that world. But first we gotta let
the home in the right Owa k right for short,
take this show off the rails, like you always do
with a little segment we called breaking the iis the
job there. We shall return job there. We got the
(27:01):
homie Dayling Golf from Jet Magazine still standing Viber get
into a little bit with him just about the scams
of being an ad executive. Was that like being a
black man in a white space trying to tell white
people how to sell stuff to black people. You know,
mistakes have been made, sounds frustrating. Sure, it's an interesting world.
(27:21):
But before we do that, it's trying to do We
always do this part of the show if you're new
to the program, this is where we slow it down
for a minute and give you some topics to help
you break the ice with co workers. You can't stand
co workers at the opposite race. That one co worker,
you know, the one and one motherfucker who bart the
(27:42):
staple of three years ago and you're still still you
know one co worker man at one co I remember
working the dish room, you know, at that Health South
Rehab Hospital in Birmingham on Lake Shore, and every now
and then I got paired in a dish him as
a sixteen year old four year old man. And I
(28:06):
don't know if you ever seen a sixteen year old
and at four year old man working together. But she
ain't got a lot of ship to talk about. That's
why we do this segment so you can have at
least one little thing to take to your job to
get these born motherfucker's up off you to help us
do that. As a man who was undefeated and pregnancy
scared with a lifetime record of three oh and two,
(28:28):
he is the inventor of the hobo fruit salad. He
also mixes uh hypnotic with his grape soda. He is
the author of the New York Times bestselling book Just
in Time for the Holidays, How to get all of
your women to come to the same Christmas party. His
(28:48):
wife name, We call him Rod for a short Rod.
How you doing, brother? How you doing over there? I'm
doing fantastic. Everybody, please run now to get that book.
I'm all about spreading holiday cheer. You know, no matter
what you're celebrating in December, it's got to cover hard
eye roll. Get these people something to take back to
(29:15):
the workplace this week, right, What you got for us
this week on hand for your black co workers? UM.
A beacon of light has shown through in the email
Doku Nia Long Boston Celtics cheating scandal email man Celtics
(29:37):
suspended for a year for inappropriate, consensual but not illegal
per Jacklin relationship. So what's the ray of hope? What's
the good news over there? In Boston? Marlon Waynes was
recently interviewed and asked about things going on. He had
(29:57):
a bit of advice for his old free and Nia
Long shout out to Marlon Wayne's solid blue, soliditude fairy
Fairy and and his advice was that he he would
ask her if she was happy before this scandal broke,
and if so, she shouldn't throw away the man of
her dreams because he got some pussy want them. And
(30:22):
he stood. He said this is He said that this
is advice he would give to his daughter, He would
give this advice to his sisters, any woman. He knows
if that man was everything that you ever hoped for
in relationship and you were happy, don't throw that away
for being publicly embarrassed. And he talked about how you
(30:47):
know your marriage and things like that. It's a true
partnership and people aren't perfect. And if you're gonna, if
you find that thing that makes you want to live
for another day and within a person, you gotta deal
with everything else that comes along with it. I understand.
(31:08):
First off, there's a gooding to bring up at the
job you bringers over with your white co works, to
do you forgive because see there's cheating and then there's
motherfucker you embarrassed us. You know what I'm saying. Like,
so there's a difference in the layers of that. But
you know, let's let's toss it over to j G.
You are women's because what say you to forgiven a man?
(31:39):
Is there a difference in cheating versus motherfucker you embarrassed
us or as cheating cheat. In the sense of forgiveness,
I thank you forgive regardless. However, that doesn't mean you
have to stay with someone. We don't know the details there.
They have a kid together, so they're always going to
be in each others lives and they're probably going to
(32:02):
sleep together again just because they're familiar with each other.
It has you get you wanted two more outer system.
You get one of them catch each other slipping fox
like the way out the door. But however, I don't
see a way that because the problem is that if
she takes him back, then she still faces the public
(32:23):
judgment from other black women who are gonna go, why
are you settling? And then because we all live in
this era where your relationship, your behavior within your relationship
is judge if your relationship is on Front Street, and
their relationship, as far as I could tell, they were
like out there like Steph Curry or Lebron and Savannah
and like always making public appearances. Nobody knew they were
(32:44):
together until he got this because she was courtside at
the NBA fund alone. She suck the coach. She has
a baby with the coach had been to get to
you alone that the coat. Yeah, and they like fifteen
sixteen years. Actually, I don't I understand what brother Marlon
Lands are saying. I do think the forgiveness is important.
(33:09):
Like when we talked and we talked about this the
week before, you know, when we talk about love triangle.
So if we're talking about cheating, getting cheated on, or
being the side, dude, I've lived at all three corners
of that of that ordeal in my life. J G.
I have lived a life. My twenties were fucking wild.
(33:30):
Oh my gosh. I was on probation, so I couldn't
do a lot of drinking and drugg What do you think?
What do you think the mischief went straight to the
woman was with another man? Comes grandma. I've done that
(33:51):
before us. Shock the grandma. Wait a minute, you're telling me,
Wait just one second there. Now, I've never heard I've
all heard this in stories. You're telling me you actually
slept with the woman who had a man. People actually
(34:12):
do that. I saw him that morning. I was at
the house that night. You saw him that morning? Yeah,
I work together. Remember I told you. I told her. No,
I've put it in the Girl Western Hills Mall, Tell It,
(34:32):
Tell It. At the time, I was doing morning radio.
This is like O two oh three, and my prank
calls is jumping and we did a live hit from
this shoe store at the black was at the Black Mall.
This is an important detail. It was at the black
mall in Birmingham called Western Hills Mall. And the dude
that worked at the shoe store came. You know now
(34:54):
that I said the mall, it don't matter because all
right this and he came over and he goes, a man,
I'm down bad with my girl. Can you call my
girl and print caller for me and chill up? I
go like and he like, he comes over a man
(35:14):
and he's like for real sad, and this mother's like
he tatted up like tear drops like a for real
about that life ass dude like sevenfold Gangster Disciples man
called my girl and chilled my girl for me. All right, cool,
(35:35):
I pull out my phone and put the number and
I call this girl or I print caller. It's funny.
He's happy. He gets on the phone. I little you
or whatever we can do to baby a little at
you And she said, yeah, let's work it out. So
that was that ten o'clock that night, I get a
text about ten any boy I was over Because I was.
(36:10):
I was still in my mama's apartment and Avenue any
time I had a chance to have a road game
and sleep on a full bed because I was still
sleeping on the twin bed and them days, I was like,
against jack Wine, I have lived. Wow, shouldn't have done it.
Though she gave me cramps about that. She was a
(36:36):
grown woman fucking the nigger who worked at the foot
like I believe she had craps. Agreed. Men might lie
by live thing, but no man alive lies about getting grabs.
So about I will say, I will say, yeah, forgive.
(36:56):
I was just gonna say, always forgive, no matter what
the city wishing is. That doesn't mean you have to
have that person back in your life. But if you
do decide to take that person back in your life,
don't bring that stuff up anymore because it will kill
your relationship. Let's flip it up on the on the
other side of the scales, no pun intended. We've got
(37:18):
a very vicious scoundrel brewing in the world of white sports.
And that is two fishermen were recently called cheating during
the fishing tournament and are staring down the battle of
a suspension and felony themth charges because because they weigh
(37:42):
the fish, the way you win is breaking the heaviest catch.
And so they got caught stuffing their fish with basically
a little ball bearings like that's what the BB and
stuff leadball version and fish filets from other fish they
(38:03):
sell fish for. They put fish in the fish off.
You opened up my posies look like fishing out of me.
It's good. The only thing I compared it to is
(38:23):
like as a black child growing up, when somebody claimed
that their jacket was real and then they go take
it off and then they expose it that you wear
a bootleg version kind of clothes. Everybody made a circle
around there like oh, and they're pulling the lead balls
out of that, Like what's the penalty for that other
(38:44):
than what you get kicked out the lead Like that's
I guess that's qualified and that they're used to. They're
they're a great fishing duo too. So now all of
the previous winds are being called in the question, But
like I said, they're facing steff and the thepth charges
for essentially stilling the prize for the fish. There's a
(39:04):
couple of thousand dollars. Man, they were they were looking
at it fishing. It's like, it's like golfing when you
win some money, even if you lose, and they are like,
you don't even have to come in first place to
get like to hit a lick. Yeah, like you come
in last, lazy and get like five, because that's how
golf works. Like the top golfers are winning millions of
dollars a year and hundreds of thousand dollars in one tournament,
(39:28):
but you come in thirty fifth and still get twenty
seven thousand. Well, his mama named in Mrotto. We call
him Rod for short the podcast his uncle Rod's Story
corner and hit him up on the internet at Rod
for Shortness right there in the episode description Rod, as always,
we thank you. You welcome to hang around a little
bit longer. We gotta run it back with DAYLN Golf
(39:50):
real quick. Yeah, absolutely, I got some questions. Thank you
as always for that Rod scam of a week time.
We welcome back to the program. President of magazine formally
of Wingstop International, Brother DALN Golf quick quick question before
before we get into what you're doing with Jet for
(40:10):
the future, quick question about your old job introducing black
people to white brands and in being the Nick groy
at liaison for people like that, did you ever run
into somebody like from a brand who was so out
(40:33):
of touch with black people that they were very casually racist, Like,
did anybody ever set you down in the meeting to
go listen, man, the darkies aren't buying our toilet paper?
How do we fix that? These questions weren't in the
prep doctor, I will say this, No, that didn't never happen.
(40:56):
But but the nuance part I did have a rand
that uh put together a program and the title of
the program was called run Gigga run like gigabytes like
cell phone down. Run All press is good pressure right,
(41:19):
And I in turn founded and came to me and
was like, uh, this was the final deck presentation and
honestly it was a very very I can't I'm not
gonna say the name, and luckily they changed the name
of some stuff that they were doing. Um that you
can't do it. But it was a major, major, major
(41:41):
company top five. Did this come from an intern? Yes?
Was that an early draft. It was a final deck.
They were going to present this too presentation. I still
(42:01):
have the presentation, forward it to myself in my personal
no presentation, and the big idea. It was three ideas.
This was the big idea that they was gonna put
all the money into. And it was called Run, Gigga Run.
Can you forward? That's a rous job fair at gmail
dot com? Yeah? Can we can we present this day
(42:26):
that I will not do that. I want to win
a little microphones and and and do the whole thing.
You have some please digg it, please, I get a
hundred subscriptions to the new jet of you forward that
to us. We're with that being said, being the being
the world whisper. I had to be able to say,
(42:47):
oh no, no, no, no, no, this can't go. And
I had to say it to him to the VP
who still didn't get it. He's like, no, it's like
run for us run. I was like no, no, no, no,
no no no. There are people like that, move it right,
which I do love that movie. That's a good movie.
But he's like no, it's like but literally that was
(43:11):
the final presentation and the name of the program that
they were going to do and they were proud of it,
and I had to be like, nad this this right here,
you need to burn this. This absolutely did not happen.
But it absolutely did happen. So yes, before we end
on the ways that people can support JET and everything
that you're doing, now, I have a more serious question
(43:32):
just about the relationship and the responsibility of black media
companies to black journalists and black freelancers. So as the
president of JET, and I don't think JET was caught
up in this bullshit from a couple of years ago.
That's still kind of going on for some freelancers, but
there were, or there are a lot of black freelance
(43:54):
journalists and writers across the whole gamut of journalism who
were never paid, or they got short change, or it
took sixty days to get your money for an article
you wrote forty days ago. How does JET, how do
you plan as a company. And I don't know if
this is your area of expertise or if you hire
somebody for it, but how do you plan to rebuild
(44:16):
the trust? Because for all the legacy that JET is,
at the end of the day, you got to be
providing good information and point in journalism to the people
the market is much more competitive now for eyeballs on
black stuff. So how do you all what is your
approach or have you all even gotten to that point
yet as an organization on how you get good black
journalists to come back in the fold and trust that
(44:39):
they'll get their money and they'll get it on time. Well,
first and foremost we're not at that level just yet.
The way I'm positioning JET from an initial standpoint, I
mean you brought it up previously, or at least a
point to it. Jet was social media. Jet was black
Twitter before social media was ever invented. And my goal
(45:00):
and if you think about black Twitter, if you ain't
check your Twitter in two weeks, in two weeks, what
was happening two weeks ago? But think about a Jet magazine,
if you go back to it, it was really democratized journalism.
Meaning the Jet beauty of the week was a girl
from Virginia. Is third kind of reas out or just
(45:21):
you know somebody a college student. That part of it
you had if you've got married, cougars in there too. Cougar,
I mean it happened, but if you got married, you
submitted your photos and they show your photos of when
you got married. It talked about in there people who
got a promotion. If you were an executive at GM
and Black and you got promoted to senior vice president,
(45:42):
that got written in it. So all these things was
in a Jet magazine. When people die, you had that
in there. The Vampire and Brooklyn cover, I still got
that one that you still got so and you look
at it was really community focused, democratized journalism. You got
content from everywhere, which is honestly what social media is.
(46:03):
So the way I'm positioning Jet is kind of pulling
some of those things back in at least from an
initial standpoint, to be able to regain that trust, to
be able to be that I've been calling and playing
with this this term called fueled by Jet. We don't
want to be the beginning. We don't want to be
the end. We just want to be the fuel. We
want to get you from point A to point B.
We want to give you the amplification, we want to
(46:25):
give you the opportunity, we want to give you that
stamp of approval. Because reality is, if you are on
the cover a Jet or you were in Jet, you
were somebody. I had a conversation with Yasin Bay most deaf.
He talked about how his grandparents were still even when
he was a rapper, had album and stuff, his grandparents
were still like, yo, you might need to go get
(46:47):
you a job at UPS. So you need a job
at the post office. They're paying good, they got good benefits.
But when he was on a Jet cover, his grandparents
was like, you're good. You made it. Your officials that
overpro you made it on Jet. Oh, you're good. Like
I ain't gonna ask you and bother you no more
because my boy was on the cover of Jet. So
(47:08):
that part of it of using that brand equity and
that stamp of approval, it's kind of what we're looking
at doing, at least from an initial standpoint. So as
we talked about what we're trying to do, at least
from an initial standpoint, I encourage everyone to go to
jetmag dot com, follow us on social or go to
jetmag dot com because I'm gonna give everybody an opportunity
to get that stamp of approval. Because you can be
(47:30):
able to go to the website, upload your image and
now you can be on the cover of Jet and
now you can share. You can tell us your Jet story.
So you know, my Jet story was Kenns City, Kansas
Parkwood Roy, your Jet story is your father's eulogy was
in Jet. But you can be on the cover. You
can be able to kind of share that because we
want to hear that part of it. So it'll be
(47:51):
and you know, we'll re share it using the hashtag
my Jet story. So that's kind of what we're doing
from an initial standpoint, Dalen, we talked about Jet celebrating
the entertainment side of things, but how will Jet honor
the legacy, the past, the older version of the magazine
and also still address social issues in the black community.
(48:14):
I use this analogy. Jet was to Emit Till what
Twitter was to George Floyd. It literally started the civil
rights movement. I think MLK was like twenty six. He
saw that Jet magazine. He's like, you know what, I
need to be able to do something. Mega Evers saw
that Jet magazine. The world saw that magazine. So when
(48:35):
the world saw it, they felt they had to do
something about it. And that was that spark. In the
same exact way that when people saw George Floyd on
that ground, it was like, we gotta do something about this.
We need to start this movement. So we understand our
positioning and our value, especially from a black community standpoint,
and we're just figuring out the ways to be able
(48:56):
to unlock that. And then eventually, as we're kind of
building that credit ability back, as we look at being
able to tap into journalists and get content out and
being able to do that part of it, we'll figure
out the ways to make it makes sense. Well, we're
proud of the work that you're doing over there, Jet Magazine.
Let us know, um when we can start nominating Beauties
of the Week. Whenever y'all get that back up and
(49:16):
tack the I will not I'll say this last point
about Beauty of the Week. Jet. Beauty of the Week
is like the Ignition remixed by R. Kelly, phenomenal when
it was out. But you play that right now in
this particular climate and you might get some I don't know,
(49:39):
I don't know what that is. So we're figuring out
ways to be able to bring it back to be
able to be palatable for our audience, but also do
it in a way that's respectful the Jet all the
fans account of the week, only fans account of the wing.
Oh no, that's a that's acceptable. That's not gonna happen.
(50:01):
I will say we are working on a documentary with
Lamont mc lemore talking about the impact of it from
a historic standpoint, but we're figuring out ways to be
able to bring it back to life but also do
it in a way that's respectful. And let's understand that
the beauty standards, everything is out there. We have to
be able to do it. This is why they pay
(50:22):
me as always. Brother, we love you. We gotta get
you back on because we need to find out what
happened in wing Stole because yeah's probably got fired. I
did not get fired, but my last day was was epic.
You're coming back that you're coming back for last You
got to do it last day. Okay, and let us
get a copy of that email. I'll write for a
(50:45):
year for JAT for free if you send me that email.
I'm not sending you know we're still is real quick
No no, no, no, no, don't tell us, don't tell us. Look, man,
don't lose your job. You to sign NDA's brother Dalen
gulf Prey it in the Jet magazine. We appreciate everything
you're doing the move culture forward. Thank you for coming
on the job. Don't say nothing else, just shut after
(51:09):
the break more of the job fit would be right
back trying to save your job. Job fair, we are
bringing at home. Third, did you ever sell sodas and
stadiums where you're a stadium vendor? Get your hot dogs here,
get your fresh go peanuts? Yeah right, peanuts. Now, those
(51:36):
kind of jobs need a certain level of coordination that
I just did not have at that age. I would
have been on Sports Center every week for falling down
flights of sets with soda and beer tumbling over my head,
like no question about it. I did it for two
football seasons Alabama ninety two, the championship years, shout out Jeans, Stalin's,
Jay Barker and all the Gang and nine three as well.
(52:02):
I did it for I was a vendor in those days.
Alabama would play when they were renovating Bryant Denny Stadium
in the early nineties to increase seat capacity, Alabama would
play their major opponents in Birmingham because that stadium had
more seats, So they would split their home schedule. So
you know, you catch three four games and I saw
(52:22):
good fucking football. Peak. Steve Spurrier, Pete Peyton, manning front
row seat to that ship. That job, I don't see that.
I didn't need it. That's why I only did it
for two seasons. I'll keep this hot ship two seasons applied,
you work in the entire season. I'm with j G.
(52:43):
I just couldn't see you doing that, like going up
and down the stairs. I sold Pepsi's and I had
the little badge for one fifty. And the way the
way the scam worked at Legion Field was some of
the vendors would have buttons that say to fifty. They
would make these buttons like Kinko's and FedEx or whatever Michael's,
(53:06):
and then they will put them on once they got
Like in the tunnels, you have ushers watching you, so
they're checking each each vendor to make sure you're wearing
the right price button on your apron. Once you get
up in the stands, once you're going up in the bleachers,
there's no more super no one's watching you. So you
run a switch real fast and then you go up
(53:28):
and you've got a tray of twenty soldas that you're
selling for a dollar extra. That's twenty extra dollars on
top of your tips. So if you hustle. You can
sell six seven trays of sodas just on the overages,
you're damn near at a hundred and fifty hundred sixty
dollars and they ain't even counting tipshet, So it's a
good lick if you But if you get caught, you
(53:48):
get banned from the stadium and all of that ship.
So with that aside, j G. Who do we have
on the phone? Okay, we welcome John to the show.
John resides in New Hampshire with his wife, four kids,
and a Birmingham born puppy. John works as a special
(54:08):
education teacher and serves as a returned Peace Corps volunteer.
Today he's gonna talk with you Roy and tell your
story about a beer scam he ran back in college.
Welcome John, Hi, how's it good with everybody? So? John,
first and foremost, congratulations on everything that you have done
(54:32):
as a specialist teacher. We thank you, and I mean sincerely,
thank you so much for being an educator. I know
that that is money would be better. We ain't got
no money. Who was still working on sponsors? Count the
number of commercials between breaks? You know, we ain't making
no money as a still gron Um. Tell us a
(54:53):
little bit about the beer scams. Now, I was a
teenager when I worked the stadium, so I wasn't allowed
to sell alcohol. Those were the big money. Those would
have been whales. There was was beer, and anybody selling
food you were going to make a misty more money
than I was. Basically selling chasers for people who were sneaking.
Jim being stadium. Wow, So where where were you was this?
(55:19):
Was this up in the Northeast where you were selling beers? Yes,
A certain football team that will remain nameless. Uh, about
twenty years ago opened a new stadium UM and went
on to win a lot Northeast. You know, we went
a lot of championships in that time area. Any names,
(55:39):
but because I got you know, the Northeastern minute men
that did a Northeastern minute min so the first year.
So they opened a brand new stadium and the first
the first year that they had their beer system, their
their whole vending system. UM. The room where all the
supplies would go in and out of was run by
(56:02):
like these fraternities and sororities. I guess the team would
pay the sorority or the or the fraternity, the like whatever.
The house. But these kids wouldn't get to raise money
for their and so they are which is what we
were doing. It was our baseball team that was selling
the soda I give you. So they're sitting there keeping
(56:25):
track of stuff, and these they could not care less
what's going on. They're just like looking around, flirting with
each other and hungover and stuff like that. So what
I would do is you take two cases of beer
out into this crowd and before the game, you're selling
two cases of beer, take five minutes to sell, you
(56:47):
just like opening tops and just you can't even get
to the stands. People are just like on it. And
then so you go back in and uh you go
to check in with the fraternity and sorority people and
uh you have to pay for the stuff you just sold.
And they're like, oh yeah, they said whatever the amount
(57:08):
for one case of beer is. They're like, oh yeah,
give me that. So I was like, okay. It was
like how many beers hang on a second? So I
can follow the math, so I can understand this. How
many beers in a wreck were you're taking out? It's
a case of beer. It was just like a case
of so twenty four, So okay, so twenty four and
(57:30):
you're selling them for how much At the time, it
was like six bucks a beer. Okay, So then you're
coming back and essentially paying it's probably costing you what
four bucks of beer and you're making two bucks profit
or something like that. No, no, you gotta pay for
the whole the whole beer, and then you get a
commission check later. Um got got you? Okay, okay, So
(57:54):
it's like a hundred and fifty bucks hundred forty bucks
or something, so I would sell to and pay for one. Okay,
hang on, let me follow this. So you show up
to the frat boy and go, hey, frat boy, here's
a hundred and fifty dollars. I'd like twenty four beers please. No, no,
that's no. You take you take the bear out, and
then you pay for it when you get that, correct
(58:15):
with the money you just made for everybody if you
get if you walk out with two cases of there
they have no idea. Oh so they're not keeping till
they should be keeping. Yeah, so you're going out, so
they should be keeping track. Like okay, so you're basically
going out double fists out with two cases. Okay, So
well to collect to because they're not paying attention. You
(58:36):
grab two cases and get out the door with two cases,
so you're pocket so you're making one forty raw profit
every trip out. I would walk out with like, I'm
okay with this, And you know why, I'm okay with
why because these stadiums fucking overcharge you for concessions, and
(58:59):
god damn it. If anybody can get over God bless
him because the fans mentioned fact. I don't even like
that team, so I love the fact that that's the
way I look at it. I support that in all
the ways possible. I like this. You're talking seven. Hang on,
(59:21):
let me get to calculated out again real quick. What
that calculated? Okay, we're talking seven. We're talking seven hundred
a game times eight home games. You know what, Let's
add in a couple of them preseason games. So that's
to home games during the preseason. So that's a total
of ten games in that stadium. Oh wait, that team
(59:43):
was good, so so playoffs that's another four games. Our
cards Wild Card Division conference championship that's three. So that's
three on top of it. That's thirteen games max. Yeah,
thirteen games times seven hunted a games. God damn John,
(01:00:10):
you should have a real night collection for a second
nine How many years were you able to do this?
What this one? One? I went back, I went back
to the game one of season two, and then there's
(01:00:31):
some sky like what's your name? Okay, like writing everything
down before I went out. I mean, I gotta forget it.
I'll stay home and watch stay on and watch the game.
It's not where that that's the show. Royce job Fair

(01:02:01):
a Comedy Central podcast
You're listening to Comedy Central now hiring local school teacher
down there Orlando, Florida, and let go from the job
after it's been revealed that she was twalking on the
students that goddamn school dance and that ain't the time
(00:24):
to be putting your behind on the kids. Wait wait
wait wait wait ho ho she was twerking on the
students like like during class, like she's teaching World of
History and be like Bobby who was the Emperor room?
(00:44):
And then she working on until she figured it out
like I don't understand no, no, no, no, no no,
this is no this is at a school dance at
the prompt the Florida Christian School down then Florida can't
be tworking one. She was arrested for contributing to the
(01:05):
delinquency of a miner and a second felony charge for
engaging in lewd conduct with a student. Wow. Investigator say,
at least two other people tried to stop the teacher
while she danced on the student, even get in between
the two. What she was gonna get it one way?
Your another was a juvenile. That's hilarious, Jackline, What does
(01:29):
that I mean? You can't help yourself when juvenile. You know, so,
your honor, my client is not guilty, and we all
know when back that ass up comes on, you're such
a freak, Jacqueline. That is not true. That is not
true either is the argument of you can't help yourself
(01:51):
when back that ass comes up, or it's just Florida
as a state. Florida. My name is Roy, this is
(02:21):
my job for Wednesday is the best day of the week.
I don't know when you listen to this acoustical radio presentation,
just know that it is presented fresh You're hot for
you on Wednesdays wherever you download podcast. Um. I'm not
saying that other days of the week of whack, but
I am saying that Wednesday is the one that is
(02:41):
the best. Any other day is whack. Friday's payday and
all that money be gone as soon as it hit
your counts. Saturday's trash because that's where you spend all
the money. Sunday, Monday is the next day. How can
you enjoy Sunday morning? That Monday is around the corner.
But Wednesday, she is the white blood cells that keeps
the show pure. J G. How are you doing it though?
(03:03):
I'm well, Roy how are you? Oh good? Thank you
to everybody whom shot an email it two in regards
to um the brother Banks last week, Ramsey High School
and the death of music and everything that's going on
with trying to get the bands back to the school system.
(03:25):
But um, we have to say thank you to you
really quickly. I apologize for interrupting, but you started that
world wind role of people donating, and there's still time
to donate because they try to get to New York.
We've got to get these young children to New York
City so they can get their first rat bike. And
I think that's it's rats about Carnegie Hall. So yeah, yeah,
(03:54):
we didn't say an uptown rat was in Manhattan rat
just a little like third. How's the young fourth doing
with the football? He's he giving up on it yet
or is he loving it? Because this is about that
point with sports where your kid doing something for the
first time, but they're kind of go ahid daddy, this
ship trash. You know. The weird take on that man
is Ralph played spring football and now he's playing fall
(04:18):
football without understanding that most people have a full year
in between seasons. So so now when he's out there
with the kids. He said stuff like, yeah, you know
back when I was playing in the spring, you know
it was way tougher round. That was two months ago. Bro, Like,
it's not, it was not. It was not all time
A man um the shout out to my playing field times.
(04:40):
We're currently one in three. We're working on it, brother,
we're working on I don't think you should shout out
of teams. They they are kids and this is encouragement.
So you know what I'm saying, y'all just get better. Please,
if you're listening to this and you play for Ralph's team,
turn it off and go to study some football. Go
watch some tapes. Please watch something coming just for me.
(05:01):
Go watch something on open field wrapping people up for coach.
That's all I'm asking. We asked that you visit us
on all the socials at Roy's job Fair or Roy's
job Fair dot com if you ever want to be
a partner program Russ job Fair. Gmail is the email address.
Uh j G. What's your sidebar? Real quick? Oh? My
(05:22):
sidebar is a note from your uncle. He didn't send
an email, He just called me directly. He wants you
to know he has an iPad and he's ready to
be on the show. After three times being on this show,
he found technology to be on the show. Yes, he
has an iPad? Who about Uncle Derek and iPad? That's
(05:45):
telling his face? I'll tell you out fair. Oh to
a woman, you think Uncle Dave's discovered only fans. Don't
ever mentioned only fans to my uncle, because my uncle
is one of the mines that don't fall for it
and be messaging the women actually talking to him and
don't realize he's talking to some hired intern. You got
a choice. He can either, you know, do the only
(06:07):
fans thing, or he can follow a ride on Twitter
like that's that's a that's a pretty fair playoff one
way or the other. Well, we're gonna work on turning
it on first. That's what he don't don't you know.
I have to help him, Jaqueline. I'm asking you respectfully
as a friend, please don't help my uncle into the
(06:29):
portal that is the web. Please, no, no, no, that
flip phone was perfect, cause it ain't, but so much
mischief you can get in on a flip phone. But
he wants to learn. Speaking of, it's about time to
do another freaky episode. Maybe we need to rack up
some only fans people and stuff like that real quick. Also,
let me make this solicit right now. Rod's relationship fair
(06:51):
for December. If you want to share some workplace sex
and but naked action that's been going on, we would
love to hear from you. Um, We're gonna have a
two tim or for that one on me. Uncle Tappy
from back in the International Players episode, Tappy Tappy, is
that gonna come back? He sent a message to the
job their d M s on the I G says
(07:12):
Uncle Tappy quote. Listening to the Rods Relationship Office Party episode,
it reminded me of the time I slept with someone
for months in the academic department who thought I was single.
I love I love that Tappy didn't tell it. How
do how does she? Okay? Yeah, I'm gonna Tappy to
(07:32):
talk that one out. Yeah yeah, I'll stop right there.
As is customary once every four months, this is the
part of the show where I have to ask you
to rate and review us. And I don't like doing this,
and I know that every podcast asked you to rate
(07:53):
and review and tell us did you like it? And
tell a friend. We never do that. But here's how
pot casts or metrics and decided upon its literally it's
literally decided to pulling how many people interact and engaged.
And so if you love us, this is our Once
every five months, ask to whatever app you're on, please
(08:14):
rate the podcast. Write two sentences and say it's good
or they're not good, five stars whatever. And I promised
to not ask you again until probably February. Is that fair.
I'll check in with them and see if they're in
the mood. So this is me taking the temperature. We're
gonna talk with the homie Dalen Golf today, uh, the
(08:36):
new president of Jet magazine. And apparently there's some scams
going on down there at these football stadiums when they're
selling the bear. We're gonna find out what the fun
going on down there as well. But first it's time
for the most Outstanding Employee of the Week. Now, it's
hurricane season. Never a good time when you see the
(08:57):
hurricanes out there and see those reporters. Why why are
we still putting reporters out? Thank you hurricane? Please answer
that makes no sense. Saying holding them down makes no sense. Okay,
See the wind is blowing very hard. I don't know
(09:19):
if you can tell by the ripples in my face.
Thank you, thank you. Can you tell us a little
bit about what you're seeing on the ground, nothing, motherfucker,
I can't. There's driving rain hitting me in my face
at about two hundred and fifty mile an hour. All
I see is darkness, darkness. So there was a hurricane
(09:45):
a little while back up there. And where was it
the Gulf coast side of Florida, Hurricane Ian Strap Brown,
you know, somewhere around um Naples and Fort Myers, um.
And it's one thing about reporting that you have to do.
You have to improvise m you know. And if you're
(10:08):
out there in those elements a lot of water. Electronics
can get wet m okay, and they put the little
they have a case, you know for the cameras. Now
all weather okay, And it's not what what what is
the different waterproof versus water resistance? That's the difference. There's
waterproof versus water resistance. That's the real trip. Yeah, like,
(10:31):
get a little water off it, but it's not water tight.
Water Proof is means it's water tight. If I'm not mistaken,
I'm not sure. It means it's water tight. Water resistance
means that you can put it in water, and it
can and it can hold for a certain amount of time,
but you can't like just hold it down there forever.
It's still gonna kirk out promise that. Okay, okay, got
you so wonderful reporter. It was out there reporting in
(10:55):
the rain and NBC two reporter Kylie Galor he's on
camera giving her live reporting the rain, and you know
she has to do that with a microphone and that
rain is coming down profusely. What is the most efficient way, Jacqueline,
if you did not have the proper microphone casing to
(11:16):
properly protect this microphone and waterproof from the element, what
would you how would you? What would you mcgiver a
microphone cover out of Well, I couldn't use you've worked
in journalism, j television. I couldn't use a plastic bag
because that's too much creakily noise. A box doesn't make
(11:37):
any sense because it's going to get wet and fall apart.
Kyler Gally used the condom with a reservoir. Oh oh wow,
she rolled that condom down that long, big black microphone.
Yes you did not say the long, big black microphone,
big black microphone, that micro that right up to a
(12:03):
mouth and kept reporting, Yo, you know what. You know what, man, o,
some awesome real ship. That's actually the smartest thing that
you could possibly do in that situation. Because the condom
won't stop the sound from coming through. Plus hopefully it
wasn't lubricated, she wouldn't have any cook on her hands.
But you know, at the end of the day, it
(12:23):
protects the microphone. Where did she learn this? Where did
she learn to protect her microphone? Like this way? That's
really smart. What was interesting though, is that a lot
of people were kind of like teasing Earn on it
and like teasing NBC, but like there's no other real
tech which you know, some finding needing to fulfill it.
Why isn't there a waterproof microphone cover that has been
(12:45):
invented at this point? Because these microphones cost hundreds of
dollars and usually most local news outfits there is no backup.
So you know what, man, it sounds to me like
you got a business venture here, Roy that you're missing
out on. Bro. You know what I'm saying? The would
microphone condom you make a killer? Jacquelin's use microphone time,
(13:06):
we make a killing. It's the best thing to use
in that situation is actually a really true. Well, it
sound like we got out of the side hustle real quick.
We need them make that's a little little condom, get paid, bro.
I'm trying to tell you here's the bigger question. Third,
she was reporting from very dangerous areas evacuation areas during
(13:29):
Hurricane Ian, which means no stores was open. Is that
part of your standard reported outfit does have a draghe
little makeup? Get your makeup bag. It's the same ship
to correspondents, care you have a second suit in case
of ship happened to the first suit? And then also
condo because somebody might woma just happen to have a
(13:49):
lubricated mint condom with you. I understand, never know when
you have to have a three pack? Was it a twelve?
How did you pack this? Have questions for UK I
do it? I know we can't get to him right now,
we don't have enough time. But nonetheless, for helping I
don't I don't know which brand now that would be
(14:11):
is a magnum that is not for doing what ever
needed to be done during a live hit to keep
the technology rolling so that people could get the information
and get themselves to safety, even if it meant holding
a big black microphone dot condom rode all the way
(14:33):
down that chaft. Oh my goodness, gracious congratulations to you,
Kyla Gaylor. Most Outstanding Employee of the Week, brought to
you by Trojan Condoms to prefer all hurricane coveragere worst
from first time Roger Early, Hello to you, getting ready
(14:54):
to get a member of the two time club. He
might be three times three time, I might do I'm
a spade head or something like that. That's what we don't.
That's our pleasure to invite back on the program a
gentleman that you made no one love. From the episode
titled Lemon Pepper Vodka. Well, this guy, damn Schemer detailed
(15:16):
the ways in which he worked at a nightclub in Charlotte.
Damn switched dr Great Dudes for Stoly Vodka and still
made you. Motherfucker's paid three hundred dollars for it in
v I. Okay, not one of my proudest, but one
of my proudest moments man all day. Bring it back.
You know, hey, this brother is the new president of
(15:37):
a magazine that I have always loved. Shout out to
page motherfucking forty three I love it. I love it.
I love it. Yes, j G. Who is this man
we got on the line. We have Dalen Golf and
he is the current president of Jet Magazine. Dalen has
(15:58):
worked in brand marketing for over fifteen years. Previously, as
you said, he was the marketing director for wing Stop Restaurants,
and he'll be talking with you today, Roy about the
opportunities and challenges that come with running a company with
such a rich history as Jet. Hello, Dalen, Dalen Golf,
(16:21):
welcome back to the job fair. I'm gonna just say
it right now. You officially a three time Okay, I'm
pretty sure you're pretty I feel like this is the
third time. I know we talked to I got a document,
pretty I ain't. We ain't even check the do We
got a goddamn nagy page word dr every guest, and
(16:42):
we too lazy to search for the ship. Dalen, What
made you take this on? And you seem to be
doing just fine at Wayne stopped growing that brand and
making the pivot. What made you take over Jet Magazine? Yeah?
Why you? Why you go from black Ass Food the
black ass magazine? You were trying to get people to
(17:10):
read a magazine in the era where a lot of
the stuff that is in a magazine Jet Jet Magazine
for the young uns. That was black Twitter in a
pamphlet every week, every single it was the excellence about us.
It was all of the TVs and movies. There was
a little bit of gossip, you know, it'd he'd be
uppity black gossip like you know, did Bobby cheat on Whitness?
(17:31):
You know, ship like that, But that and it was
also it was also really black because it was also
a week late, normally a week to two weeks later.
It was very black. That was was persistent, consistently late
because the January thirteenth issue, like it's the thirtieth bro January,
(17:58):
Happy Black, valentized that and mag it's March four, Thank
you No. But to j G's question, though, what what
made you take on the challenge of trying to rejuvenate
and because I can't say bring back the Jet officially
(18:19):
go out of print and go digital or did it
go out of print altogether, Well, went out of print,
went digital and then went bankrupt. So absolutely it's to
bring it back situation. And part of what you're talking
about is one of the reasons why I felt the
need to take on this particular challenge. Now, if you
really look at my career, I've been multicultural marketing most
(18:43):
of my career. When I met you down at Essence,
I was handling multicultural marketing for a brand like uh
Stay farm To, whereas they were looking at how to
be able to tap into black audiences, how to be
able to talk to them in a very authentic way,
and how to be able to tap into the paces
and spaces where that audience live. You haven't done that
(19:03):
my entire life. Say well, now you have ended the
black Jake from State farm. I didn't. I did not
invent black Jake, but I worked for the agency that
actually did that. But as I always told people, I
was my My job for years was Anthony Anderson's character
on Blackish. That's literally what I did. I explained black
(19:25):
culture to white owned brands and white audiences and white
leadership and being able to say, no, this is where
you need to be, this is what's up and coming,
this is what's popping. Black culture is pop culture before
it's pop culture, and usually by the time it becomes
pop culture, we over that ship. We're doing on the
suthing else. So, if you are a brand that's able
(19:46):
to tap into black culture early and often you get
the credit and get the ride with it, which is
exactly what happened. From a Wingstop perspective, we were Wingstop
is not a black owned company. Now Ross owns a
considerable amount. We have a lot of you know, well
they have a lot of um they call them brand partners,
but franchisees that are black. But the reality of it is,
(20:07):
most of the people pulling the strings at the very
very top don't look like us. So if you're a
brand that is able to capture it earlier and often,
you're gonna be able to ride that wave and you're
gonna be that get that credit before it goes to
being pop culture. You'll get the cool factor. You'll get
the kids on social media like, oh nah, I funk
with wing Stop, or you know, I like Nike, or
(20:29):
I like these brands that you know, even like a Supreme,
you like, oh I like Supreme. Even reality of it is,
Supreme is very wide owned. But you're tapping into black
culture and you get the credibility that comes from Wendy's
is absolutely good by the way they talk about it
on social and so there's a connection honestly with Wendy's
and Jet, and I'll kind of go through that and
(20:51):
kind of tell you how I came to be position.
Hold up, yeah, Dylan, are you are you trying to
tell me that that I might be popping to surprise?
But the jaw of the jaw the jet by the
person who does Wendy social media on Twitter because I
always thought that she was black, understanding, I just thought
it was a face. Because that that that that Wendy's
(21:11):
Twitter is off the chain and I can see you
doing that. Did you all? Did you all going by
that white girl until her she's Tina Marie? Absolutely didn't.
But I do know who it is over there, and
it's not a girl, But yes, I do know because
my only person that want to see and my only
person want to see, like the full body of Wendy
from Wendy's did just see what perfect? This is what happens? Well, lord,
(21:35):
I'm a perfect. This is what happens when Roy goes
to the strip club and why goes back to that.
I want to see the full body got this voice
stolen about Winch, she got cursed out there. Back to
answer your specific question, the reason I took this role
is I've been explaining black culture the white people in
(21:57):
the white brands for a long time. Why not take
all that experience that I've been able to garner all
over these years. To be able to do that for
an iconic brand like this was this was personal for me.
This was I'm developing this probe called my Jet Story,
my personal Jet story, because everybody has a connection to
the brand, especially from a black experience. Mine started at
(22:20):
when I was eight years old, going to park with
barbershop in Kansas City, Kansas on Sister Friday, needing to
get a haircut, or that Saturday morning, needing to get
a haircut. And there's this stack of Jet magazines just
sitting there and you just looking through every one of them,
and you're seeing what's going on in Black America. And
this is from a kid from Kansas City, Kansas. Like
(22:40):
I'm from Kansas so I can be able to see
what's going on across the nation, like what's popping in
d C, in Little Rock, in you know, California, in
New York. Like that opened me up to that entire world.
So I had to go back to albums on the
back so you knew which albums. Even check out sound
(23:01):
Scam movie box Office. The TV ratings of black shows,
it was a black shot. They showed you which black
people was gonna be on the show that particular week.
So looking at that and understanding that week actually the
week before, it might be a little like, but they're
gonna come on again, They're gonna come on Theyna, come home,
They're gonna be bad. We as a culture, we support
(23:24):
our own and that was one of the things whereas
from a historic standpoint, we always kind of rallied around,
we circle the wagons, like now this this is one
of us. So we're gonna give you all the benefits
of the doubt because from a white culture, they don't
give you benefit of the doubt. You are the doubt initially.
So that's where from a black owned media standpoint, where
(23:45):
there's that need to be able to have this this platform,
to be able to tell to tell the stories for us,
by us and all about us. Love it or hate it,
it's still us and we need to be able to
own and and honor those stories. So that's one of
the reasons why I was like man when I got
the call from the Bridgeman family, who I talked about Wendy's.
(24:05):
The Bridgeman family owned evidence Jet. They bought it out
of bankruptcy, and they bought it because they owned roughly
four d these locations at one point in time and
then ended up selling some of them and bought the
Co Cola bottling plant in Kansas City and the one
in the country of Canada. So they have amassed a
substantial amount of black wealth. And then they said, you
(24:30):
know what, We're gonna own our own things. And you
know that's kind of how you know, that opportunity presented itself.
So when they called and was like, Dylan, what would
you do if we gave you the keys to Jet?
I was like, wait a minute, Like this man, okay,
this you know. I had to take a step back
and set my cup down. Um. But in doing that,
(24:50):
it's like, no, I gotta do this for myself to
be able to challenge myself, but also doing it. I
hate to overuse it, but damn it, it's the truth.
I was doing this ship for the cold and I
know that I can be able to take the skills
that I have in order to bring it back to
its prominence. Because honestly, Jet as a brand It's iconic
no matter what. When I rock a shirt like this
(25:12):
and I'm walking through the airport, it's still okay. I
like it. I like it, I like it. I actually
love it. Jet Magazine is a vintage brand. It's an
iconic brand absolutely. So I'm looking at those little nuances
and like, Okay, how can I be able to flip it,
extract the value do some cool things. Damn if I
(25:33):
made Wingstop cool, I think I can't make Jet back cool,
Like let's just be for real here. So that's kind
of where I looked at it as the opportunity to
be able to do that. You're the one that told
Rick Ross the show is ted is and get the
numbers up at Winston. Nobody controls Ross, nobody controls Bross.
But if you notice, if you watch that Versus battles
(25:57):
that was on where he took his shirt off and
you saw all the Wingstop branding that wasn't supposed to happen,
that was me. I literally say food truck to the
studio and I made them feed everybody in the entire studio.
I paid zero dollars and zero sense to be on
that Versus Battle, but I literally fed everybody in the
whole station. So when my team went up there and
(26:19):
put those bags there and everything else, it was like,
you good because we fall over here, we're straight. And
then Ross took his shirt off, and then you know,
the rest is history. After the break, we're gonna get
into it with a little bit more of Dalen Golf.
We need to talk about the world of being a
black ad exact at white companies and what that world
was like and there was any little scamming and shadiness
(26:40):
going on in that world. But first we gotta let
the home in the right Owa k right for short,
take this show off the rails, like you always do
with a little segment we called breaking the iis the
job there. We shall return job there. We got the
(27:01):
homie Dayling Golf from Jet Magazine still standing Viber get
into a little bit with him just about the scams
of being an ad executive. Was that like being a
black man in a white space trying to tell white
people how to sell stuff to black people. You know,
mistakes have been made, sounds frustrating. Sure, it's an interesting world.
(27:21):
But before we do that, it's trying to do We
always do this part of the show if you're new
to the program, this is where we slow it down
for a minute and give you some topics to help
you break the ice with co workers. You can't stand
co workers at the opposite race. That one co worker,
you know, the one and one motherfucker who bart the
(27:42):
staple of three years ago and you're still still you
know one co worker man at one co I remember
working the dish room, you know, at that Health South
Rehab Hospital in Birmingham on Lake Shore, and every now
and then I got paired in a dish him as
a sixteen year old four year old man. And I
(28:06):
don't know if you ever seen a sixteen year old
and at four year old man working together. But she
ain't got a lot of ship to talk about. That's
why we do this segment so you can have at
least one little thing to take to your job to
get these born motherfucker's up off you to help us
do that. As a man who was undefeated and pregnancy
scared with a lifetime record of three oh and two,
(28:28):

Fairy and and his advice was that he he would
ask her if she was happy before this scandal broke,
and if so, she shouldn't throw away the man of
her dreams because he got some pussy want them. And
(30:22):
he stood. He said this is He said that this
is advice he would give to his daughter, He would
give this advice to his sisters, any woman. He knows
if that man was everything that you ever hoped for
in relationship and you were happy, don't throw that away
for being publicly embarrassed. And he talked about how you
(30:47):
know your marriage and things like that. It's a true
partnership and people aren't perfect. And if you're gonna, if
you find that thing that makes you want to live
for another day and within a person, you gotta deal
with everything else that comes along with it. I understand.
(31:08):
First off, there's a gooding to bring up at the
job you bringers over with your white co works, to
do you forgive because see there's cheating and then there's
motherfucker you embarrassed us. You know what I'm saying. Like,
so there's a difference in the layers of that. But
you know, let's let's toss it over to j G.
You are women's because what say you to forgiven a man?
(31:39):
Is there a difference in cheating versus motherfucker you embarrassed
us or as cheating cheat. In the sense of forgiveness,
I thank you forgive regardless. However, that doesn't mean you
have to stay with someone. We don't know the details there.
They have a kid together, so they're always going to
be in each others lives and they're probably going to
(32:02):
sleep together again just because they're familiar with each other.
It has you get you wanted two more outer system.
You get one of them catch each other slipping fox
like the way out the door. But however, I don't
see a way that because the problem is that if
she takes him back, then she still faces the public
(32:23):
judgment from other black women who are gonna go, why
are you settling? And then because we all live in
this era where your relationship, your behavior within your relationship
is judge if your relationship is on Front Street, and
their relationship, as far as I could tell, they were
like out there like Steph Curry or Lebron and Savannah
and like always making public appearances. Nobody knew they were
(32:44):
together until he got this because she was courtside at
the NBA fund alone. She suck the coach. She has
a baby with the coach had been to get to
you alone that the coat. Yeah, and they like fifteen
sixteen years. Actually, I don't I understand what brother Marlon
Lands are saying. I do think the forgiveness is important.
(33:09):
Like when we talked and we talked about this the
week before, you know, when we talk about love triangle.
So if we're talking about cheating, getting cheated on, or
being the side, dude, I've lived at all three corners
of that of that ordeal in my life. J G.
I have lived a life. My twenties were fucking wild.
(33:30):
Oh my gosh. I was on probation, so I couldn't
do a lot of drinking and drugg What do you think?
What do you think the mischief went straight to the
woman was with another man? Comes grandma. I've done that
(33:51):
before us. Shock the grandma. Wait a minute, you're telling me,
Wait just one second there. Now, I've never heard I've
all heard this in stories. You're telling me you actually
slept with the woman who had a man. People actually
(34:12):
do that. I saw him that morning. I was at
the house that night. You saw him that morning? Yeah,
I work together. Remember I told you. I told her. No,
I've put it in the Girl Western Hills Mall, Tell It,
(34:32):
Tell It. At the time, I was doing morning radio.
This is like O two oh three, and my prank
calls is jumping and we did a live hit from
this shoe store at the black was at the Black Mall.
This is an important detail. It was at the black
mall in Birmingham called Western Hills Mall. And the dude
that worked at the shoe store came. You know now
(34:54):
that I said the mall, it don't matter because all
right this and he came over and he goes, a man,
I'm down bad with my girl. Can you call my
girl and print caller for me and chill up? I
go like and he like, he comes over a man
(35:14):
and he's like for real sad, and this mother's like
he tatted up like tear drops like a for real
about that life ass dude like sevenfold Gangster Disciples man
called my girl and chilled my girl for me. All right, cool,
(35:35):
I pull out my phone and put the number and
I call this girl or I print caller. It's funny.
He's happy. He gets on the phone. I little you
or whatever we can do to baby a little at
you And she said, yeah, let's work it out. So
that was that ten o'clock that night, I get a
text about ten any boy I was over Because I was.
(36:10):
I was still in my mama's apartment and Avenue any
time I had a chance to have a road game
and sleep on a full bed because I was still
sleeping on the twin bed and them days, I was like,
against jack Wine, I have lived. Wow, shouldn't have done it.
Though she gave me cramps about that. She was a
(36:36):
grown woman fucking the nigger who worked at the foot
like I believe she had craps. Agreed. Men might lie
by live thing, but no man alive lies about getting grabs.
So about I will say, I will say, yeah, forgive.
(36:56):
I was just gonna say, always forgive, no matter what
the city wishing is. That doesn't mean you have to
have that person back in your life. But if you
do decide to take that person back in your life,
don't bring that stuff up anymore because it will kill
your relationship. Let's flip it up on the on the
other side of the scales, no pun intended. We've got
(37:18):
a very vicious scoundrel brewing in the world of white sports.
And that is two fishermen were recently called cheating during
the fishing tournament and are staring down the battle of
a suspension and felony themth charges because because they weigh
(37:42):
the fish, the way you win is breaking the heaviest catch.
And so they got caught stuffing their fish with basically
a little ball bearings like that's what the BB and
stuff leadball version and fish filets from other fish they
(38:03):
sell fish for. They put fish in the fish off.
You opened up my posies look like fishing out of me.
It's good. The only thing I compared it to is
(38:23):
like as a black child growing up, when somebody claimed
that their jacket was real and then they go take
it off and then they expose it that you wear
a bootleg version kind of clothes. Everybody made a circle
around there like oh, and they're pulling the lead balls
out of that, Like what's the penalty for that other
(38:44):
than what you get kicked out the lead Like that's
I guess that's qualified and that they're used to. They're
they're a great fishing duo too. So now all of
the previous winds are being called in the question, But
like I said, they're facing steff and the thepth charges
for essentially stilling the prize for the fish. There's a
(39:04):
couple of thousand dollars. Man, they were they were looking
at it fishing. It's like, it's like golfing when you
win some money, even if you lose, and they are like,
you don't even have to come in first place to
get like to hit a lick. Yeah, like you come
in last, lazy and get like five, because that's how
golf works. Like the top golfers are winning millions of
dollars a year and hundreds of thousand dollars in one tournament,
(39:28):
but you come in thirty fifth and still get twenty
seven thousand. Well, his mama named in Mrotto. We call
him Rod for short the podcast his uncle Rod's Story
corner and hit him up on the internet at Rod
for Shortness right there in the episode description Rod, as always,
we thank you. You welcome to hang around a little
bit longer. We gotta run it back with DAYLN Golf
(39:50):
real quick. Yeah, absolutely, I got some questions. Thank you
as always for that Rod scam of a week time.
We welcome back to the program. President of magazine formally
of Wingstop International, Brother DALN Golf quick quick question before
before we get into what you're doing with Jet for
(40:10):
the future, quick question about your old job introducing black
people to white brands and in being the Nick groy
at liaison for people like that, did you ever run
into somebody like from a brand who was so out
(40:33):
of touch with black people that they were very casually racist, Like,
did anybody ever set you down in the meeting to
go listen, man, the darkies aren't buying our toilet paper?
How do we fix that? These questions weren't in the
prep doctor, I will say this, No, that didn't never happen.
(40:56):
But but the nuance part I did have a rand
that uh put together a program and the title of
the program was called run Gigga run like gigabytes like
cell phone down. Run All press is good pressure right,
(41:19):
And I in turn founded and came to me and
was like, uh, this was the final deck presentation and
honestly it was a very very I can't I'm not
gonna say the name, and luckily they changed the name
of some stuff that they were doing. Um that you
can't do it. But it was a major, major, major
(41:41):
company top five. Did this come from an intern? Yes?
Was that an early draft. It was a final deck.
They were going to present this too presentation. I still
(42:01):
have the presentation, forward it to myself in my personal
no presentation, and the big idea. It was three ideas.
This was the big idea that they was gonna put
all the money into. And it was called Run, Gigga Run.
Can you forward? That's a rous job fair at gmail
dot com? Yeah? Can we can we present this day
(42:26):
that I will not do that. I want to win
a little microphones and and and do the whole thing.
You have some please digg it, please, I get a
hundred subscriptions to the new jet of you forward that
to us. We're with that being said, being the being
the world whisper. I had to be able to say,
(42:47):
oh no, no, no, no, no, this can't go. And
I had to say it to him to the VP
who still didn't get it. He's like, no, it's like
run for us run. I was like no, no, no, no,
no no no. There are people like that, move it right,
which I do love that movie. That's a good movie.
But he's like no, it's like but literally that was
(43:11):
the final presentation and the name of the program that
they were going to do and they were proud of it,
and I had to be like, nad this this right here,
you need to burn this. This absolutely did not happen.
But it absolutely did happen. So yes, before we end
on the ways that people can support JET and everything
that you're doing, now, I have a more serious question
(43:32):
just about the relationship and the responsibility of black media
companies to black journalists and black freelancers. So as the
president of JET, and I don't think JET was caught
up in this bullshit from a couple of years ago.
That's still kind of going on for some freelancers, but
there were, or there are a lot of black freelance
(43:54):
journalists and writers across the whole gamut of journalism who
were never paid, or they got short change, or it
took sixty days to get your money for an article
you wrote forty days ago. How does JET, how do
you plan as a company. And I don't know if
this is your area of expertise or if you hire
somebody for it, but how do you plan to rebuild
(44:16):
the trust? Because for all the legacy that JET is,
at the end of the day, you got to be
providing good information and point in journalism to the people
the market is much more competitive now for eyeballs on
black stuff. So how do you all what is your
approach or have you all even gotten to that point
yet as an organization on how you get good black
journalists to come back in the fold and trust that
(44:39):
they'll get their money and they'll get it on time. Well,
first and foremost we're not at that level just yet.
The way I'm positioning JET from an initial standpoint, I
mean you brought it up previously, or at least a
point to it. Jet was social media. Jet was black
Twitter before social media was ever invented. And my goal
(45:00):
and if you think about black Twitter, if you ain't
check your Twitter in two weeks, in two weeks, what
was happening two weeks ago? But think about a Jet magazine,
if you go back to it, it was really democratized journalism.
Meaning the Jet beauty of the week was a girl
from Virginia. Is third kind of reas out or just
(45:21):
you know somebody a college student. That part of it
you had if you've got married, cougars in there too. Cougar,
I mean it happened, but if you got married, you
submitted your photos and they show your photos of when
you got married. It talked about in there people who
got a promotion. If you were an executive at GM
and Black and you got promoted to senior vice president,
(45:42):
that got written in it. So all these things was
in a Jet magazine. When people die, you had that
in there. The Vampire and Brooklyn cover, I still got
that one that you still got so and you look
at it was really community focused, democratized journalism. You got
content from everywhere, which is honestly what social media is.
(46:03):
So the way I'm positioning Jet is kind of pulling
some of those things back in at least from an
initial standpoint, to be able to regain that trust, to
be able to be that I've been calling and playing
with this this term called fueled by Jet. We don't
want to be the beginning. We don't want to be
the end. We just want to be the fuel. We
want to get you from point A to point B.
We want to give you the amplification, we want to
(46:25):
give you the opportunity, we want to give you that
stamp of approval. Because reality is, if you are on
the cover a Jet or you were in Jet, you
were somebody. I had a conversation with Yasin Bay most deaf.
He talked about how his grandparents were still even when
he was a rapper, had album and stuff, his grandparents
were still like, yo, you might need to go get
(46:47):
you a job at UPS. So you need a job
at the post office. They're paying good, they got good benefits.
But when he was on a Jet cover, his grandparents
was like, you're good. You made it. Your officials that
overpro you made it on Jet. Oh, you're good. Like
I ain't gonna ask you and bother you no more
because my boy was on the cover of Jet. So
(47:08):
that part of it of using that brand equity and
that stamp of approval, it's kind of what we're looking
at doing, at least from an initial standpoint. So as
we talked about what we're trying to do, at least
from an initial standpoint, I encourage everyone to go to
jetmag dot com, follow us on social or go to
jetmag dot com because I'm gonna give everybody an opportunity
to get that stamp of approval. Because you can be
(47:30):
able to go to the website, upload your image and
now you can be on the cover of Jet and
now you can share. You can tell us your Jet story.
So you know, my Jet story was Kenns City, Kansas
Parkwood Roy, your Jet story is your father's eulogy was
in Jet. But you can be on the cover. You
can be able to kind of share that because we
want to hear that part of it. So it'll be
(47:51):
and you know, we'll re share it using the hashtag
my Jet story. So that's kind of what we're doing
from an initial standpoint, Dalen, we talked about Jet celebrating
the entertainment side of things, but how will Jet honor
the legacy, the past, the older version of the magazine
and also still address social issues in the black community.
(48:14):
I use this analogy. Jet was to Emit Till what
Twitter was to George Floyd. It literally started the civil
rights movement. I think MLK was like twenty six. He
saw that Jet magazine. He's like, you know what, I
need to be able to do something. Mega Evers saw
that Jet magazine. The world saw that magazine. So when
(48:35):
the world saw it, they felt they had to do
something about it. And that was that spark. In the
same exact way that when people saw George Floyd on
that ground, it was like, we gotta do something about this.
We need to start this movement. So we understand our
positioning and our value, especially from a black community standpoint,
and we're just figuring out the ways to be able
(48:56):
to unlock that. And then eventually, as we're kind of
building that credit ability back, as we look at being
able to tap into journalists and get content out and
being able to do that part of it, we'll figure
out the ways to make it makes sense. Well, we're
proud of the work that you're doing over there, Jet Magazine.
Let us know, um when we can start nominating Beauties
of the Week. Whenever y'all get that back up and
(49:16):
tack the I will not I'll say this last point
about Beauty of the Week. Jet. Beauty of the Week
is like the Ignition remixed by R. Kelly, phenomenal when
it was out. But you play that right now in
this particular climate and you might get some I don't know,
(49:39):
I don't know what that is. So we're figuring out
ways to be able to bring it back to be
able to be palatable for our audience, but also do
it in a way that's respectful the Jet all the
fans account of the week, only fans account of the wing.
Oh no, that's a that's acceptable. That's not gonna happen.
(50:01):
I will say we are working on a documentary with
Lamont mc lemore talking about the impact of it from
a historic standpoint, but we're figuring out ways to be
able to bring it back to life but also do
it in a way that's respectful. And let's understand that
the beauty standards, everything is out there. We have to
be able to do it. This is why they pay
(50:22):
me as always. Brother, we love you. We gotta get
you back on because we need to find out what
happened in wing Stole because yeah's probably got fired. I
did not get fired, but my last day was was epic.
You're coming back that you're coming back for last You
got to do it last day. Okay, and let us
get a copy of that email. I'll write for a
(50:45):
year for JAT for free if you send me that email.
I'm not sending you know we're still is real quick
No no, no, no, no, don't tell us, don't tell us. Look, man,
don't lose your job. You to sign NDA's brother Dalen
gulf Prey it in the Jet magazine. We appreciate everything
you're doing the move culture forward. Thank you for coming
on the job. Don't say nothing else, just shut after
(51:09):
the break more of the job fit would be right
back trying to save your job. Job fair, we are
bringing at home. Third, did you ever sell sodas and
stadiums where you're a stadium vendor? Get your hot dogs here,
get your fresh go peanuts? Yeah right, peanuts. Now, those
(51:36):
kind of jobs need a certain level of coordination that
I just did not have at that age. I would
have been on Sports Center every week for falling down
flights of sets with soda and beer tumbling over my head,
like no question about it. I did it for two
football seasons Alabama ninety two, the championship years, shout out Jeans, Stalin's,
Jay Barker and all the Gang and nine three as well.
(52:02):
I did it for I was a vendor in those days.
Alabama would play when they were renovating Bryant Denny Stadium
in the early nineties to increase seat capacity, Alabama would
play their major opponents in Birmingham because that stadium had
more seats, So they would split their home schedule. So
you know, you catch three four games and I saw
(52:22):
good fucking football. Peak. Steve Spurrier, Pete Peyton, manning front
row seat to that ship. That job, I don't see that.
I didn't need it. That's why I only did it
for two seasons. I'll keep this hot ship two seasons applied,
you work in the entire season. I'm with j G.
(52:43):
I just couldn't see you doing that, like going up
and down the stairs. I sold Pepsi's and I had
the little badge for one fifty. And the way the
way the scam worked at Legion Field was some of
the vendors would have buttons that say to fifty. They
would make these buttons like Kinko's and FedEx or whatever Michael's,
(53:06):
and then they will put them on once they got
Like in the tunnels, you have ushers watching you, so
they're checking each each vendor to make sure you're wearing
the right price button on your apron. Once you get
up in the stands, once you're going up in the bleachers,
there's no more super no one's watching you. So you
run a switch real fast and then you go up
(53:28):
and you've got a tray of twenty soldas that you're
selling for a dollar extra. That's twenty extra dollars on
top of your tips. So if you hustle. You can
sell six seven trays of sodas just on the overages,
you're damn near at a hundred and fifty hundred sixty
dollars and they ain't even counting tipshet, So it's a
good lick if you But if you get caught, you
(53:48):
get banned from the stadium and all of that ship.
So with that aside, j G. Who do we have
on the phone? Okay, we welcome John to the show.
John resides in New Hampshire with his wife, four kids,
and a Birmingham born puppy. John works as a special
(54:08):
education teacher and serves as a returned Peace Corps volunteer.
Today he's gonna talk with you Roy and tell your
story about a beer scam he ran back in college.
Welcome John, Hi, how's it good with everybody? So? John,
first and foremost, congratulations on everything that you have done
(54:32):
as a specialist teacher. We thank you, and I mean sincerely,
thank you so much for being an educator. I know
that that is money would be better. We ain't got
no money. Who was still working on sponsors? Count the
number of commercials between breaks? You know, we ain't making
no money as a still gron Um. Tell us a
(54:53):
little bit about the beer scams. Now, I was a
teenager when I worked the stadium, so I wasn't allowed
to sell alcohol. Those were the big money. Those would
have been whales. There was was beer, and anybody selling
food you were going to make a misty more money
than I was. Basically selling chasers for people who were sneaking.
Jim being stadium. Wow, So where where were you was this?
(55:19):
Was this up in the Northeast where you were selling beers? Yes,
A certain football team that will remain nameless. Uh, about
twenty years ago opened a new stadium UM and went
on to win a lot Northeast. You know, we went
a lot of championships in that time area. Any names,
(55:39):
but because I got you know, the Northeastern minute men
that did a Northeastern minute min so the first year.
So they opened a brand new stadium and the first
the first year that they had their beer system, their
their whole vending system. UM. The room where all the
supplies would go in and out of was run by
(56:02):
like these fraternities and sororities. I guess the team would
pay the sorority or the or the fraternity, the like whatever.
The house. But these kids wouldn't get to raise money
for their and so they are which is what we
were doing. It was our baseball team that was selling
the soda I give you. So they're sitting there keeping
(56:25):
track of stuff, and these they could not care less
what's going on. They're just like looking around, flirting with
each other and hungover and stuff like that. So what
I would do is you take two cases of beer
out into this crowd and before the game, you're selling
two cases of beer, take five minutes to sell, you
(56:47):
just like opening tops and just you can't even get
to the stands. People are just like on it. And
then so you go back in and uh you go
to check in with the fraternity and sorority people and
uh you have to pay for the stuff you just sold.
And they're like, oh yeah, they said whatever the amount
(57:08):
for one case of beer is. They're like, oh yeah,
give me that. So I was like, okay. It was
like how many beers hang on a second? So I
can follow the math, so I can understand this. How
many beers in a wreck were you're taking out? It's
a case of beer. It was just like a case
of so twenty four, So okay, so twenty four and
(57:30):
you're selling them for how much At the time, it
was like six bucks a beer. Okay, So then you're
coming back and essentially paying it's probably costing you what
four bucks of beer and you're making two bucks profit
or something like that. No, no, you gotta pay for
the whole the whole beer, and then you get a
commission check later. Um got got you? Okay, okay, So
(57:54):
it's like a hundred and fifty bucks hundred forty bucks
or something, so I would sell to and pay for one. Okay,
hang on, let me follow this. So you show up
to the frat boy and go, hey, frat boy, here's
a hundred and fifty dollars. I'd like twenty four beers please. No, no,
that's no. You take you take the bear out, and
then you pay for it when you get that, correct
(58:15):
with the money you just made for everybody if you
get if you walk out with two cases of there
they have no idea. Oh so they're not keeping till
they should be keeping. Yeah, so you're going out, so
they should be keeping track. Like okay, so you're basically
going out double fists out with two cases. Okay, So
well to collect to because they're not paying attention. You
(58:36):
grab two cases and get out the door with two cases,
so you're pocket so you're making one forty raw profit
every trip out. I would walk out with like, I'm
okay with this, And you know why, I'm okay with
why because these stadiums fucking overcharge you for concessions, and
(58:59):
god damn it. If anybody can get over God bless
him because the fans mentioned fact. I don't even like
that team, so I love the fact that that's the
way I look at it. I support that in all
the ways possible. I like this. You're talking seven. Hang on,
(59:21):
let me get to calculated out again real quick. What
that calculated? Okay, we're talking seven. We're talking seven hundred
a game times eight home games. You know what, Let's
add in a couple of them preseason games. So that's
to home games during the preseason. So that's a total
of ten games in that stadium. Oh wait, that team
(59:43):
was good, so so playoffs that's another four games. Our
cards Wild Card Division conference championship that's three. So that's
three on top of it. That's thirteen games max. Yeah,
thirteen games times seven hunted a games. God damn John,
(01:00:10):
you should have a real night collection for a second
nine How many years were you able to do this?
What this one? One? I went back, I went back
to the game one of season two, and then there's
(01:00:31):
some sky like what's your name? Okay, like writing everything
down before I went out. I mean, I gotta forget it.
I'll stay home and watch stay on and watch the game.
