a dual manifesto of sexual exploration and power. So feel
free to go to your local bookstores preferably queer owned,

exploration and power, written by yours truly and my co

ya ya y'all, welcome to another episode of Selective Ignorance
with me your host, Mandy B. Hope y'all are done
with the Glizzies and the Hamburgers and the file works vague,

(01:02):
because we're back at it again. And up first, we
are getting a little ignorant, as it seems as though
Kamala Harris maybe getting her tail back into the running
for the presidency campaign.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
We'll see and share our thoughts on that.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Then in This is America, we will explain to you
all why so many Black Americans actually have mixed feelings
about the Fourth of July, the holiday that we just
celebrated over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
This fourth of July is yours, not mine.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Then we're getting into all things. This is America.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Texas becomes the first date to require kids to read
the Bible. What happened to the distinction and separation between
church and state?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Our thoughts.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Then we are gonna possibly get really ignorant, won't they do.
A Michigan couple has been charged with murder after their
child dies from what obesity?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
Right?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
A couple is charged because their kid died from being
a little big?

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Then in celebrities take the darnest things, Amber says, opportunity
in America is a free for all and isn't dictated
by the color of your skin. Yes, this is coming
from a woman raising black.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Sun shot up my fuck.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Then, for whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Reason, we can't have anything in our community because India
Ari amongst other women are coming for the boycott of
the Song of the Summer.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
They are really upset.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
With young Miami. We're getting into all these things. Don't
go anywhere, get your coffee, get your looka.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Get your epsilon. That's what Jos said, and rock with us.
We're about to be selectively ignorant.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
And before we get into all the things, let me
introduce the people to my right. We are missing journalism
Jason today. But I got the O G Pot legend
eight king?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
What did you do?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
How you feeling with your bun in the shade? All
black funeralists?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Because this is a double cold brew, a double okay,
I'm so so.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
You got sugar and alcohol.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
No, I ain't doing No, I ain't doing it.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, she's she's dry.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I am dry. This morning puts the dry to all.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Right, that's not how problem. You know. I'm feeling good man.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
You know we're going to talk about it July for situations,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, we're midway throughout through the year.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Can you believe that.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Midway mark? We're in the lower half?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Is there also something as human beings?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Like?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Has there ever been a slow year? Because why did
we always.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Say, oh, this year flying by, or is that just
because where we're at, what we've done personally, Like why
is that always a thing?

Speaker 5 (04:09):
My personal theory on it is that the older you get,
the faster time is like some something happens with time
where every year you get older, the ship kicks up
a little bit more, a little bit more, a little
bit more. By the time you eighty, you turn one
hundred and ten, and you.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
A lot of a lot of stuff is happening in
this consuming our time too. That's true.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
So things are faster, yeah, because we're always on the
goal and trying to, you know, navigate through life is
fast life.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
It's funny because you said we're always doing something like
before cell phones, what would you do when you.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Was on a toilet, Like I'll just be sitting thinking
people did.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
On the toilet, newspaper, the newspaper.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
My dad used to damn, he used to He used
to smoker. He wasn't a smoker, but he had a pipe.
But I think he did that. I think he did
that just to for the air.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Like that was like his incense, you know what I mean,
Like use tobaccos from because that is strong.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
It is strong. But yeah, newspaper, right, I would never
some reading material.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
But you read on the toilet now, right, Niggas scrolling?

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, scrolling, but be careful when you're scrolling, because if
you wipe your behind and you got some more wipe
to go, and then you in between the wipes.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Your finger, if your finger hit the joint and no, no, no,
I don't like that.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, no, I don't play that game at all. I
have a very wipe with the right, scroll with the left.
Don't contamination around.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Never almost drop your phone though. I'll put that ship
down if you know how.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Sometimes they have the little the toilet the toilet fabric
rim thing drunk, So if they have one of those,
I'll lean my phone on there.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
But we don't touch hands. Okay, no contamination.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
Do y'all wipe your phones when when you when you
come from out side.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
You know what, I've never cleaned my phone. I'm a
drummer phone.

Speaker 4 (05:59):

because we bring the phone into the mad everywhere.

Speaker 3 (06:05):

based on how you.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
If you, if you put, if you put this record
on anywhere under the Mason Dixon line, it goes from
from Texas to South Carolina, people are gonna know exactly
what this is.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
You must have moved to New York. That was.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
That was ninety eight. I was seven. Okay, sorry, I
didn't know about dick sucking.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Then, okay, listen to young listen to those nasty songs
as a little kid.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
I was a little older. No, because it was a
little kid. It was spice girls. It was spice girls
for me and sing backs to your boys like I
didn't even realize.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
You kept the kosher, you even a center into.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Everybody realized how nasty Christina Aguilever was. I didn't know
Genie in a Bottle was about masturbating. Yeah, gotta rub
meat and a gut.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Did all of those songs coming on?

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Let me out?

Speaker 4 (11:36):
But but did those songs influenced or have any type
of inspiration to your sexual journey?

Speaker 2 (11:42):
No? Okay, no, so none of it. But middle school
so pretty Ricky turns you out with you.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
No, you know, it's crazy, pretty ricky, And I think
I thought.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
That's where that's where you got it from.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You know what's crazy? Uh, pretty ricky became like I was,
I was hunching by the okay. But before then, no,
like I think one of the like I guess, I guess, Okay,
early usher, my way Usher.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Was was to me who was sexy? But when I
was young and I knew Usher. But for the most part,
it was the boy band boy group.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Uh that influenced you to your sexual journey.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
No, actually, I read books, believe it or not, and zame.

Speaker 8 (12:30):
Like it was.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
It was erotica that we were reading. And then again,
if y'all.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Go listen to the bonus episode last week with Kiki Uh,
it was message boards like I was sitting at my
dialog computer, like sitting.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
In a puddle of.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
The theater to mine.

Speaker 8 (12:49):
Man.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
So music did not damage your soul, damage your psyche.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Which is why we'll talk about.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Here.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
We haven't to us, we don't get to it for
our ignorant ship.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Something was brought up right before the cameras and the
mics turned on. Kamala Harris is allegedly.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I mean, you.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Rumored to be running again for president in the twenty
twenty eight election.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Yeah, she she she met with some folks, She met
with Mondami, she met with some other progressive probably some
Democratic socialists, you know, probably people on the further left
wing of the party. And you know, like you said,
it's rumored right now, but it is building the speculation.
Why would you meet with those people if you will?

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Usually this is the precursor, correct, I wonder what I mean.
Obviously we know what inspires her at this point, right
because she did it.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
She knows, she knows.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
I would assume that she knows and understands what's the
head and if anybody's strong enough to do it, why not? Yeah,
you know, and we we The question always is who's
in the Democratic field? You know that's viable enough?

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Right? We have an old boy from Newsome. I'm saying, yeah,
he takes this shit.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
You think you think he did well?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah? I think he had a shot.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
The Democrats probably weren't gonna let him run against Biden
last election. But I think before at twenty twenty and
even in twenty sixteen, I think he was building up
good will. I think all the good will that he had,
especially in California and nationwide.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I think that shit is out the window. Well here's
the thing.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
So, so now when we're talking about let's just cut
the bullshit, right, if we go back to that, right,
are we in the position to course correct? Because now
it's a different state, it's a different We've had four
years of entering three four years of this administration.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
You know. So is she the one in the party
to this ball guard and just just take the ball? Yes?
I think so.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
We don't have time well playing around and wondering if
this new candidate from over here and who.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
I'll be honest with you, I think, oh, y'all gonna
hate me.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
We cannot play no more.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
The knife is in the chair right like this. I
don't put that knife.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
And they're really gonna do that to a black woman.
I don't want. I don't want Kamala Harris running again.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I want I would stop you from participating.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
No.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
If she if she's who I have to vote for,
that's where my vote is gonna go.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
But I don't know what if the playing field is tangible.
But she's the best.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
I think she was the best qualified last time.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
But now we're under therest.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
No, but here's the thing about it, though, under the rest,
we can't go back the last election. In this election
is gonna look totally different.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Now. Some of what she's doing right here is like
right now, literally right now.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
The Democratic Party has like gassed up the machine and
they are currently like infighting with Democratic Socialists the far they've.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Gone on this.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
They're all doing the cable news shows, they're all doing interviews,
they're all talking about how dangerous this is and how
you can't let these people have power, et cetera, etcetera, cetera.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
So all these people are against that.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
The people are trending upward towards supporting more DSA type candidates. Now,
I'm not going to say that New York represents how
the rest of America will vote.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
New York is a very specific place, but the fact
that it's worked.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
So well in your city the city is a very
specific place. But I think what she's doing here is
she's acknowledged her the course correct for her is she's
got to come off of a lot of this ship
that she wasn't strong enough on or silent about last
time around. Correct and her meeting well, like, specifically, when
you meeting with these type of people, the big issue

(16:59):
is going to be Israel, Gaza.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Where do you stand on that? How do you how
do you message to people about this issue?

Speaker 5 (17:04):
American support for Israel, the money we're sending over there,
the military force, the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
You're gonna have to answer for that in a different
way than you did last time. Can I say something
America that?

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Can I say something again?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
That might be a little problematic as well. So had
this conversation with a friend. The friend I know is listening,
and we were talking about these same conversations, and I,
I honestly personally do not I'm not gonna say I

(17:37):
don't care, but I think thinking that the biggest thing
that the Democratic Party has to discuss, or whoever is
running for president, the biggest issue is where they stand
on Israel and Gaza.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Is not the biggest way. Considering to four, considering top three,
top ten.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
There's too much happening, yes, one moment, not in the
fucking world.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Too much happening right here on our own in terms
of people not being able to afford housing.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
So we are literally in a housing crisis right now.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
There's something called like the millennial house freeze, where you
have the older and younger millennials right now that are
dealing with being outpriced for advancing their homes, the ones
that started with starter homes, and then people not being
able to get into starter homes, and just the market
being crazy, not only from a buyer market, from a
renter's market. Two, there's two income households that aren't making

(18:31):
enough money to even pay. Then we do have the
issue right now to me, what's happening with the AI.
We need some regulations out here because they're not only
taking so many jobs, there's no jobs to counteract, so
people are losing their jobs at an astronomical rate, which,
by the way, this is the first time I feel
like in a long time to me, since since maybe

(18:51):
eight since the first state crash and the depression and
all of that, where it was constant conversations around unemployment rates.
I know it's because of our administration, they're quite as fuck.
But the way that I have friends six months, eight months,
year and a half applying, applying, applying, not crickets not

(19:14):
getting jobs, then you have all of these government agencies
that are supposed to be helping you not losing applications,
losing things like, there's just too.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Much right now.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
And then to me as well, with the World Cup
still going on, there's so many things happening in terms
of how we're treating Americans, what we're doing with the
naturalization of citizens, and there's just too many other things
happening within our borders that I don't want the midterms
or the next presidential election to lean on. Well, how

(19:47):
do you feel about Gaza and Israel? And this isn't
like coming from a super like, this is America. This
is all I care about. It's coming from There's so.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Many matters here. We've been dealing with Gaza in Israel
now for what two years? I am maybe a little
bit more well the genocide.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Like but but but the issue here is though, man,
I don't want to keep I don't know, of course,
and and and none.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Of us want to have to deal with this. But
this is the problem.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
This is the problem that this is the problem that
they presented. No, I mean no, no, this is all
Plenny is a corporate democrat, know what I'm saying. She
talks what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Kamala is in support of Israel. Kamala is in support of.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Giving because she's sort of Israel.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Well, not in support of Israel as far as what
they're doing to Gaza, but she's in support of Israel
as a nation.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
But that's That's what I was going to say. Though
the problem is with all of that is that somewhat it's.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
All connected because we're saying we're using money, we're using resources,
setting things over there. All that effects because our money
and it's big money. It's big, big, big, big money,
mind you big bread, but.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
You ready, So in terms of even having that conversation,
if this is her stance outside of the money today,
but outside of that, if that's if that has been
her stance, she's a black woman. Most black people that
I have conversations a bit whether they know what really

(21:12):
started Israel and Palestine and all that they're free Palestine
because it's a genocide and we have been, within our
own history a part of a genocide. And so I
don't think i've met one person mind you, I'm sorry,
I'm drinking Starbucks, so yes, I'm looking like a hypocrite.
But truth, the truth, I mean the truth is Israel

(21:33):
is committing a genocide on a on a certain group
of people that that if Kamala wants even the black vote,
you can't stand with Israel and expect me to I'm
not gonna I'm gonna say it now.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
If she gets up and run one moment my point.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
But if she stands up, runs again and says that
she's siding with Israel to me, I don't know, like
because and I talk about this a lot where Iline
politically is very social, like fiscally, I'm gonna pay whatever
tax I gotta do to make sure women can keep
getting abortions, that we keep having rights, whatever works socially
for my beliefs.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
That's where I'm gonna vote.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
If Kamala says, yo, I'm we're gonna keep funding Israel.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
In this, I'm not gonna lie. She won't get vote.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
She won't say that.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
But if she's gonna say, you know what she's gonna say,
she does politician will say that they're interested in repairing
their relationship with the international community.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
But here's the thing about it.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
No one ever lets you go for Mellow and Lebron
you couldn't be fans of but her, No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
When they first came out, are.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
You Israel are you, And that's gonna be the thing
about it. So but no one ever is clear cut
about that ship, bro, but done was the one that I.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Mean, this is what I'm here, But this is what
I'm saying, is she's starting the process now of trying
to bake the cake so that on July first, twenty
twenty six, when we get to December twenty twenty seven,
January twenty twenty eight, she can when she's on the
campaign trail, she can say at least I have this

(23:15):
track record. I've been you know, evangelized, and I've talked
to these people and I understand better than now I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
And this is on foxnews dot com and reading.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
She's met with Mandannie ALCS and several pro Palestinian groups,
so we know we see the right.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
And that's the early headline that came out before she
even announced or if she's gonna announce that, right, she's
already sitting the the the precedents for that conversation, right,
So she has.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
To convince us.

Speaker 5 (23:43):
Now people thought that, you know, she was kind of
funny style before. Now she has to convince.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
People that this is real.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
She really stands on this in addition to all the other,
all the other aspects of things you're talking about, healthcare
and affordability is going to be one in two on
the list has to be.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
But Israel and God. The economy, Yeah, the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
How people can live in this country having forty hours
a week jobs and not having to work three.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
They've been talking about moving into a four four day
work week.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Here, I think, but how, but how when the economy? Look,
I saw a report that came out one hundred and
eighty thousand dollars in San Francisco is not enough anymore?

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
I just read if you are a single person, no kids,
in order to live comfortably in any of the states,
I know, y'all.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
We ain't talking about Middle America now, sorry, y'all.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
We're talking about the places where rent for a studio
or one bedroom is fifteen eighteen, two thousand plus.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Right.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
They are saying, in order to live comfortably as a
single individual one hundred and four thousand.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Do you know sixty five used to get it done?

Speaker 7 (24:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Too easily.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Incomes at sixty five thousand, you were good, you were
middle class and could afford.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yep home to cars, spend that by young Miam.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
And we're gonna that's the blueprint. But but but but
but people, it's it's urgent. But but that's part of
the they we'll get into it. But like, you wonder
why people want to scam, You wonder why people want
to steal. You wonder why people are ready to just
do what that's.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
The word scams enhance our economic No, I'm talking about
stealing from the empire. I'm talking about stealing from corporations.
I'm talking about crime.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Take it with yours either in the in the power
to the people.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Sure, But all I'm saying is that you want the
people who have such criticism for this concept.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
You wonder why people feel that they might want to
engage in such activities. But we'll get there. We'll get there.
They used to sell cocaine once upon a time, and
the mob right, it was cocaine.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Different from scamming and boosting.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
It's still trying to enhance I have more financial fortitude.
I mean, what is the difference for you? It's the same.
Scamming is also stealing stealing from So most.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Scamming that I've been aware of and that I know of,
essentially is scamming from other people. So credit card scams,
tax fraud, the strips of like all of the things.

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Are stealing from individuals.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
So when we always talk about scamming, and y'all talk
about scamming the corporation of scamming the system, there's very
few people and they always get caught, like like the
people that we talked about the Amazon worker, the people
that steal within that doesn't happen as often as like
the the on the street scammer. On the street scammers

(26:51):
are stealing from old people, individuals.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
That's not what we're talking about. I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, but so that's what I'm saying, Like y'all are
talking about outliers, majority of scammers steal from the modern
day person.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
Them definitely older people.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
And older.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
They're they're mostly actually the victims of scammers. It's not
corporations as much. But I did want to get into
for This is America coming off of the fourth of
July weekend, which I got to spend around a whole
bunch of black and blacks.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
What do you eat? Four?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
First off, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (27:26):
I was red Bean, the Ride, Gombo, Shrimp, crab, legs
and ditch.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
That's right, but we're not eating macaroni salad.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
We're not eating broccoli casseroles, hot, we're not eating mayonnaise sandwiches.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
We're not eating motherfucking what else do white people eat? Everything? Carrots, salad,
carrot salads. Crazy, We're not eating none of that. Ship.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Yeah, I was in New Orleans for Essence Fest shout
out to spell app and care for the culture.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
They had me outside on the streets talking to the people.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
It was real nice. So it was really nice.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
Y'all see that content online, so you know. Anyways, I
wanted to get.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Into we clearly just had the conversation a couple of
weeks ago around Juneteenth, which is the celebration of essentially
our freedom here on this land. However, I wanted to
explain why so many people, essentially Black Americans, have mixed
feelings about Fourth of July. Now, of course, for me

(28:37):
growing up, Fourth of July was honestly barbecues and fireworks,
because for a lot of us, it's never really been
about it hasn't been as tied to the country as
like a Thanksgiving.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Thanksgiving to me leans more heavily into like the founding.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Different types of people, and it does so For many.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Black Americans, the Fourth of July is complicated. Their ancestors
were still enslaved in seventeen seventy six, which that's what
we're celebrating, essentially, and slavery continued for almost ninety years
past that. So for some black families celebrating the holiday
with food, fireworks, and time together, they like to focus
more on June tenth, which actually is a holiday marking

(29:20):
the end of slavery in the US, which took place
in eighteen sixty five. There's a book that I wanted
to give, or I guess a speech from Frederick Douglas,
and it's called What to the Slave is the Fourth
of July?

Speaker 3 (29:36):
And a lot of people reference that as well.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
Motherfucking Day, seventeen seventy six marks the establishment of the
colonial power of the United States. It's very simple. We're
not talking about the Americas prior to that. We talked
about the two hundred and fifty years that they was
able to rule over the United.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
States of America Empire. Yeah. Simple.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
So it's it's designed for a particular type of person
and the descendants of those people from that time.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
So I don't and we just hear experiencing it to
we all live here together with them.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Yeah, I mean I remember this was like probably ship.
I bet this was like six seven years ago. Now
it was for no reason at all. I was just
thinking about this ship, and I tweeted out, like for me,
it's always been like seeing black patriotism has always been
weird to me.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
It's always a little bit strange, Like.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
People who are black people who are gung ho about America,
go America in the wars, the whole.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Type of thing.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
And that, and that's the part of it, Like all right,
yeah it's fucked up, but you know, we still got
to give honor to those people.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
But who held down.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
But when I asked people about this, it was like
the responses were pretty much generally, yeah, no, we didn't
practice patriotism in our household. These are black people responding.
We didn't have no American flag waving outside.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
We weren't.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
We weren't WEEPI and at at the national anthem, Like
these things weren't like sacred in our house. Sacred we
had black Jesus on the wall and grandmom and granddaddy,
like that's what we honored in our house. But like
the idea of honoring America and loving America and having
this deep patriotism.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I don't. I didn't grow up like that.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
Our house wasn't filled with like I hate America, but
like the idea of America wasn't thing that was talked about,
to be held sacred, to be like deeply emotional about
any word that I was in my house, in other
people's house, my friend's house.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
I didn't know anybody like that.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
It's weird, though, that you say that, because not not
too much of patriotism, but in terms of Black Americans.
And I say this coming from living in Old Town
for oh seven Chapa City, are even pep rallies. I
didn't grow up being around many Black Americans pep rallies.
We all had our flags. So I'm bringing my Jamaica flag.
You see the Hayeshiap flag. You see the Dominican flag,

(31:56):
you see the Puerto Rican, Mexico, Venezula like there ever,
anyone wore flags, whether they had even been to those
countries or not. Right However, what I have noticed with
specifically Black Americans over time is their loyalty to this
country because of the brainwashing that this is the best
country in the world that so many people come here

(32:18):
to create a better life. And it wasn't until maybe
I would say ten fifteen years ago where the black
terrorism became a thing in other countries. We were in
fear of all of these other countries, thinking that they
weren't safe. We were brainwashed to believe this was the
safest country in the world, This was the wealthiest country

(32:38):
in the world.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
This was we had the best technology we had.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
And it wasn't until we and when I say weeds,
even just black people in America that hadn't stepped foot
off the soil could actually learn that, oh, I was
loyal to a place that lied to me.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
But I say that to say, it's interesting what.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
You're saying, because for along black Americans, actually we're super
patriotic to this country and believe this to be the best,
especially if they had no ties.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
To other to other countries.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
And it's interesting, Well, that's the thing too.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
It's like I understand people who come from the standpoint
of like people will say, well, our ancestors like bled
to be free. Yeah, so, and why should I let
why should I let them die so that other people
can only lay claim to this land as their land
as the place where we're all Americans. Why we feel

(33:34):
whatever we feel about America, we're all Americans. And when
we travel, we're Americans and we want and we want
to be treated as Americans and.

Speaker 6 (33:39):
We want to come back.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
I'm done.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
I don't want to be treated like an American overseas.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
They don't like us. No, they don't like it.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
No, no, no, But you don't want to get caught
up being You don't want to get caught up not
being able to come back to this motherfucker because they're like,
oh you oh yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
But the treatment of Americans outside of the soil is
not good. They think we're like.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
There and the thin and that's because of the information
that's that that's been presented to them.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Everyone has a difference they have, right, that doesn't help.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
But but but that and that and that's the and
that's the we and that's the distinction too, right, It's
like we don't represent that agenda. Right, But I think
the world, the world mass knows that that there are people, people,
mainly people of color, who are doing this thing sense
of civil rights since before then to fight the establishment,

(34:29):
you know, just for decency. Yeah, yeah, Well I mean,
and it's not this isn't even a new concept, right, Like,
I'm reading this book, This Non Violent Stuff to Get
You Killed by Charles E.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Cobb, and it's talking.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
The book is about the role of firearms and the
Civil rights movement and in reconstruction in the Civil War
and how black people had to protect themselves from white mobs.
But in the book he talks about this ongoing narrative,
even at that time, in the late eighteen hundreds and
the early nineteen hundreds, about people who were debating, you know,

(35:03):
world War one is going on, world War two is
about to happen, is it should we even be over
there fighting when we have shit to deal with over here?
And some people's attitude was, well, if Nazism is going
on in Germany, Nazism in Germany is the white supremacy
of America, why shouldn't I go fight that. That's the
ideology that he's kicking doesn't just apply to Germany. This

(35:23):
is a world conquer that if you conquered that, And
he talks about how a lot of those a lot
of the civil rights movement and how we kind of
got to this place of freedom is because soldiers went
over there start killing white men and then came back
over here and was like, well, if I can kill
the crackers over there, I can damn sure killed some
crackers over here. And so it empowered a lot of

(35:46):
people to think about the world and geopolitics differently. But
there were some people who also felt like we're wasting
our time going over there. Like some people would say, well,
I don't care what's going on in Germany. I'm trying
to make sure right in Georgia because the cake k
is killing us here. They're lenching us here. They're running
up in our cribs and in our cities and our
businesses and the fighters in multiplaces at one time. And

(36:09):
so that's this confrontation about America and what is American?
Who is American? Has always been a thing because of
how they've done us. It'll probably just stay that way.
I don't see America ever making it right for us.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
What shout out to that new concert that that that's
supposed to go down or went down with with the
the inside ball of the Trump administration, Donald Trump Junr.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Has his home.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
Oh you didn't hear about that? He got his whole elite?
Is that the same concert it's a different one.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
They found out. A whistleblower found out that it is
a club, if you will, that had some of our
favorite rappers. Nellie was on that list. Continue Rimes was
on the Continue the Big One hurts my Heart jay
Z No, No, it was a Jo Rouse adversary.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
Fifty was on that list, and that which is weird
because they're both not all the New Yorkers, but yeah,
but it's both of them on the same team niggas
like wait, India Joha.

Speaker 4 (37:16):
According to the somebody, this is made by a white
person that don't so, Donald Trump Junior has an elite
club that these five hundred thousand dollars to join this
this elite club, and they're supposed to have like this
concert you know too. It was supposed to be under
under wraps. It's supposed to be like a secret thing.
And some whistle blow was like, nope, there go so

(37:41):
executive bring So I wonder up up until the time
when we were recording, we haven't heard any of the
artists just mentioned say anything.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
So the morning they don't say anything. The morning, it
seems valid.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
That's how I look at it, right, Well, no, because
I don't know y'all, because if you got to pay
five hundred thousand dollars to join, that's a choice.

Speaker 2 (37:59):
That's not saying, Yo, we want you here, We're gonna
give you a feed. You're investing into something, into this thing.
So until until they you know, Yeah, I'm.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
A wait to see. I'm a wait to see if
this takes place.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
I don't know own by somebody mad Malik, so he
must be Saudi.

Speaker 5 (38:15):
Somebody on Twitter was like John ru fifty are gonna
make peace to perform with?

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Wow? That's crazy, yo.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Honestly, look align yourself for who you want to align
yourself with. But as a fan and as somebody who
cares about our people, not saying that they don't.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Oh, Timberland was on that list. That validated.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
True. I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (38:41):
Five hundred thousands a lot. How much is a soho
uh house if you have five hundred thousands you but
think about it, if you spend five hundred dollars for membership,
what's the It gotta be some astronomic benefit. You get

(39:01):
to hang out with white people A yeah, yeah, yeah
to the richest white people in the world who think
maybe you.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Get to get on some pj's or something, because these
niggas be paying money for the but they don't want
to get caught in the economy.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
But oh yeah, Jahru got taught in the economy.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
All these motherfuckers getting he was at first class when
he was arguing with with bleaking.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
But if he get to get on with.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Yaloe and murder, all right, Well, anyways, let's get into
I don't know Texas Texas law, because why not.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I'm coming to Florida right now.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
No Texas has.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Been bad, which is crazy because Texas used to be
like a more purple state and now it's like red
as red.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
As fuckh that's the real power ule. So this is interesting.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
So this is very interesting, y'all.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Beginning with the twenty thirty and thirty one school year,
Texic public school students will be required to read passages
from the Bible, after the Texas State Board of Education
approved a new statewide reading list in a nine to
five vote. Texas is reportedly the first state to require

(40:11):
Bible passages as part of a mandatory reading curriculum for
all public school students. The required reading list contains nearly
two hundred literary works like Noah's Ark, David and Goliath
for younger students, while other while older students list includes Genesis, Psalm,
and the New Testament. Now the Bible passages will also

(40:33):
be incorporated into standardized testing.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
This is not woward to study this year dead ass,
which is insaney wow.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
State leaders say the readings are intended to help students
understand the Bible's influence on American history, literature, and culture.
The new curriculum stems from a twenty twenty three Texas
law requiring the state to create a mandatory reading list
with literary works for every grade level.

Speaker 4 (41:05):
Thought, this is yes to me, This sounds like I
I mean, this is the blueprint that justified that justified slave.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
How about that project? How about that?

Speaker 3 (41:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Yeah, one is Texas.

Speaker 4 (41:22):
I'm not surprised because it's Texas, right, the first US
state to require Usually, when you have a first, you
have a second.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
This is why these elections are I.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
Would doubt that Florida.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
They've already removed critical of race theory, They've already said
you can't stay gay.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
So there's a reason for this, right, It's just they
use the Bible to set the precedents to how they
behave amongst the non whites. Yeah, and a lot of
a lot of See, the Bible has many different interpretations.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
It is very subjective.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Well, they said the New Testament and specifically the New
Testaments specifically, and you.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
Know a lot of the a lot of the slavery rhetoric,
you know, was that you know, the Bible says that
this was okay. Yeah, and I'm just summarizing, right, And
they had they had certain passages and scriptures in there
that just that justifies in their lands treatment the treatment
of non whites. It just reeks missionary, It just reeks

(42:18):
colonial bullshit. Again again, this is why these elections matter.
I know, for years, I ain't gonna well, I ain't going.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Well, guess what, y'all?

Speaker 4 (42:28):
They not playing And if the voting is the way
that it is probably the most absolute way outside of
I think we should pay attention to try to reverse this.
It says twenty twenty thirty one, right, Yeah, that can
be overruled at some point. And then what does that
say that? What if what if you unless state for

(42:48):
the midterms? Yeah, so what if you're a Muslim living
in Texas? That's what I'm saying, so what now that
person has to move. Okay, ain't going to ostracize the
people agnostic, ac isth is Christian and j So I
think they're going to be okay maybe, but okay is
because the Bible, because the Bible is still but anything else,

(43:11):
it's like what there is outside of like white they
would have to read.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
They're not going to discard the Torah for the Bible, right,
but they're only But that's what I'm and it's in
the curriculum.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
So then does classes No, does that.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Lead people then more so to get their kids into
private which then just puts more money into private institutions.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
But you got to make the money to make that tuition.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Because my mama was never affording putting us to know,
goddamn private school, not a never I was getting.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
I was getting my free lunch.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Yeah, I don't know, this is another page out of
the project. I know.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
Literally, Yeah, I mean what they want is to they
want America to be a white Christian nationalist entity, like
that is the goal at all times. When you know,
last week we talked about uh, Megan Kelly and I
call her all kind of bitches because she she talked
about Haiti, and she talks about, you.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Know, this is what we established. We established our land
with our culture and our work ethic and our.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
R and R.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
And so they don't assimilate. They don't do like they're
saying it out loud. It's not even like low key,
like they're saying. If you come here, this is what
you need to be down with. You need to be
down with this Christianity.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
You need to be done with the read the Bible.
She don't read that. She doesn't read the Bible. She
doesn't read the stop.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
But like they y'all saying that, what does that mean
she doesn't read the Bible.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
I don't believe she do. That's just what I mean.

Speaker 5 (44:43):
But to me, it just means if you're if you're purporting,
this is supposed to be a Christian land, and this
is supposed to be all the things that make America America.
And you're so invested in that, why don't you Why
aren't you invested in the book that is supposed to
be giving you all of your morals.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
And ideas, even and even from a morals tending, the
book is subjective in.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
The way that but the way that but it is.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
It is, but it's not the way that they interpret
the word.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
The way that they interpret what the Bible says and
how they can move about and what will get them
into the gates of heaven are completely different than how
African Americans or Latino American like interpret it. Which has
always been my problem if we're leading into this to
give a pass as to why slavery and things like
that and how we operate.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
Place in this country.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Always, for the fucking life of me, don't understand how
we adopted the same religious.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Like this, this religion.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Of the time, it was more survival than anything, and
we still got blood churches in the No.

Speaker 4 (45:49):
Interpretation is different, and I think we can't lose sight
of the interpretation of the Bible is totally different. There's
a lot of stuff that they ignore that that non
whites don't know that they unpacked ship right. They have
annexes to the Bible explaining, you know, what these passages
mean and and give context.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
They're just taking it as as value.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
I'm going to be very curious, and we don't know
where version of they going by the King James or
the King Thames or the fucking.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
King themes Santa Maria like which version of this ship.

Speaker 1 (46:23):
I'm curious how the teachers choose to go through the well,
how they're gonna know they're going to be different.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
That means you're going to have secret shoppers.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
We're talking about interpretation a king. It's going to be
different teachings of this.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
Even know they're going to give a guideline as to
what they're gonna tell them, they're gonna tell them and this.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Is going to be the thing for the next ten
years the state and repeat.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
When when these curriculums come out. These curriculums are established
by the school board, and so when they what this
is the Chinese, they're going to be told. They're gonna
be told what this curriculum is. And there's probably gonna
be a lot of teachers who are going to ignore
the ship and probably get fired. There's probably gonna be

(47:10):
some teachers and somebody their own thing with it, and
someone snitches or they're gonna come in The ones who
are with the program down that. Yeah, they're gonna there
are a lot of a lot of people with the
program and they'll come in in all right, let me
do this.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
That's the scary part. I don't know your Texas hollered
us in the chat. What you're thinking about this? Dallas, Houston, Austin, Waco.
Call Chris, Christy, Colleen, fort Hood, fort all of the forts,
all of the for they got a lot of forts
in Texas, which.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Is another don't the military basis? So when you when
you do that to the educational system also that impacts
the military too.

Speaker 5 (47:49):
Oh yeah, I'm sure I wouldn't be surprised at all
if they push the same thing intary.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
Yeah. I started seeing news about all right, well we're going.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
From Texas to Michigan.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Babu listen, So a Michigan Now real quick, this is
where it might get a little ignorant.

Speaker 3 (48:06):
We might. I don't know where we're gonna align on
this here, but let's get into it.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Yeah, this is crazy.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
So a Michigan couple is facing charges after their seven
year old son died weighing two hundred.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
And fifty five pounds.

Speaker 8 (48:21):
So.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
The case began last year when a nine one one
call was made for Casper O'Brien, a young boy in distress.
He was rushed to the hospital and later died well
soon after, the county prosecutor charged forty year old Damien
and forty one year old Jessica with second degree murder,
child abuse and torture. Why Well, According to officials, the

(48:46):
cause of death was dilated cardiomyathropy, which leads to heart failure,
with morbid obesity listed as the contributing factor. Now, Casper
weigh two hundred and fifty five pounds at forty two
inches tall. The CDC notes a healthy weight range for
a seven year old boy of that height is generally
fifty to seventy three pounds, So he was like five

(49:10):
times the weight, Layton says, and Layton being the prosecutor,
he says that that is obesity. This child did not
have a pediatrician, was only taken to the doctor, I believe,
according to the police report once, and that was despite
the father having a stable job and the family having

(49:32):
health insurance. To make matters worse, authorities say the boy,
along with his five year old sibling.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
Was not enrolled in school. They are currently being held
on no bond and are due back in court next month.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Now.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
I brought this up because we had an interesting conversation.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Around whether or not the principals in schools that have
school shootings, whether or not they should be responded.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
In this case. I'm curious your thoughts because y'all see
the photo of the parents.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Right, don't judge a book by his cover.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
No, they're fat.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
They also a no, no, no, no, there be so
this is the lifestyle that they live too. Well, you
just that there's also kids are not in school. That's
that's neglect, but not that part but the doctor one time.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
But then but then there's you know, it's crazy and
I can't remember. I don't know if you could look
it up.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
They're uh oh in the state of Georgia.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Actually it's a new law in the state of Georgia,
uh that you can't call truan see for any amount
of absences anymore for kids.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
Or something like that.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
But I say all of that to say, do you
believe that these parents should be charged for murder, child abuse,
and torture?

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Those three charges? Specifically? Why or why not?

Speaker 1 (51:00):
I will say, and I'm just gonna stand on it.
I do not think they should be charged with torture.
I do not think they should be charged with murder,
child abuse, sure, child neglect. Yes, I say that because
from someone who's been obese from looking at the picture

(51:24):
of the parents. There's genetic reasons.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
Why people come, and food is not just the buy
all be all as to why kids are big. Secondly,
depending on what type of money they made, even when
I was an.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Adult working for myself living in the Bronx, I would
like to know what place they lived in and their
proximity to healthy foods.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
And I say that because we talk.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
About so much all the time, how even within the
black community, blood pressure, all the things that we.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Fight, that's what's available to us as well.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
And so from a self economics place, I'm curious as
to what vegetables they had access to, what healthy options
they had access to, what foods were within their.

Speaker 6 (52:12):
Proxative past food is cheaper than the healthy it's cheaper.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
And then that's another thing. Right, he clearly wasn't being
starved start off with. But but what he was it?

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Right, I mean he was peace, grace, bring grace.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
I'm talking about from the lens of torture.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
Well, the parents clearly was they experienced self neglect and
they would torture themselves because this is a long pattern
of them being unhealthy that just passed down to their
kids because they're not seeing the the what's what I'm
looking for.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
They're not trying to intervene in course correct.

Speaker 1 (52:50):
This well because they don't see obesity as an issue,
which let's be very clear last week we talked about it.

Speaker 3 (52:56):
Obesity is body positivity for a lot of people. A
lot of people.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
People believe themselves to be healthy and big. So if
they solved no problem with their son getting that big
look at them, they didn't have that issue either. And
when we look at a lot of our own community,
especially in the South, I'm back down here, it's way
different than what we see in New York and New
York you're forced to walk to a lot of places
in the South. Obesity is like a common thing that

(53:22):
also within our own community we believe to be outdated
because if you look at the B in my chart, Okay,
I'm obese based on that chart, right, So to me
for parents to be charged with murder because of an yeah.

Speaker 5 (53:45):
I mean so, I don't know if there's details that
aren't in this story that maybe we're missing. So I'm
looking at the the penal code seven fifty three seventeen
in Michigan that defines second degree murder. Second degree murder
is still intentional killing, not premeditated. You basically have to

(54:06):
prove that your actions causes that to the victim, it
was intended to kill the victim, or do great body harm,
wanting a wolf for disregard and the action would naturally
tend to cause death or great boy.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
See that's year old. That probably is They all be Yeah,
I think that the neglect it wasn't sure. I think
you can make a great case for neglect. You can
make a great case for probably child abuse to.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
Some degree, not the second degree murder.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:35):
To me, second degree murders sounds like something that the
state charged to make a bigger spectacle of this, because
I don't see any way that in court that it
holds up.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
And even this one of the child abused charges, by
the way, is in connection to the sister. When authorities
responded to the Michigan home last year, they found the
five year old girl dirty, with knots in her hair,
and more morbid morbidly overweight.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
Do you want to know where I'm going with this?
And I'm curious hear me out.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
We had the conversation around certain people with mental health
disabilities pro creating outside of obesity. I'm curious if there's
also any other mental health issues autism, Say it's ADHD,
say it's something that would also make you to believe
that cleanly, like some people don't see a problem with uncleanliness.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
Yeah, I mean some people don't see a problem with gluttony.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
We talked about that last year, but with over excessive eating.
These things are normalized in so many households that I
don't think they view it as even neglect or abuse.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Yeah. Now, granted, a seven year old that's two hundred
and fifty pounds is crazy.

Speaker 5 (55:54):
That's an average seven year old is probably like fifty
fifty to seventy pounds. So it's like, Okay, something is
clearly going on here. Now again to your point, did
this mother fother have issues going on? Did they have
mental health issues? You know a lot of times when
you see people who are hoarders, you see these houses,
usually there's something going on that's not just someone who's

(56:14):
just too lazy to clean their house.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
And I want to maybe she was trying to get
the girl locks. What I'm just saying, Maybe there was
you know.

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Maybe that's what it was. Yeah, maybe they was just
in the vibes Cartel all day in their house, and
it was just like, you know, by the way.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
These other white people were talking about but yeah, I
don't see how this second degree murder thing holds up all.
I feel like that's something that the prosecutor was just like, Hey,
we're gonna make a splash and we're gonna get this
case in front of all the newspapers because when they
see second degree murder of a five year old who's
a seven year.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
CNN, thank you for doing the research over there. I'm
about to call you the researcher. Uh So, according to police,
they actually did suspect that this little boy had autism
and he was non verbal. Casper wasn't enrolled in school
last year. But that's another thing. I have people within
my life that have autistic children, and and it costs

(57:15):
money to get them into the right schools, the right classes.
Sometimes you're put on waiting lists, and sometimes you make
it worse by putting them in those public school environments
because they can be violent.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
They can be and you want to be able to
send your.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Child somewhere where they could tell you what's happening to you.
So this is difficult because also a lot of times
outside of obesity, autism is passed down as well.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
It's genetic.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
So that's what I'm saying. Maybe these parents are also
on a spectrum that they're not able to.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
See that anything is wrong here.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
And so yeah, thank you for looking that up, because yeah,
that's why I'm like, this gets tricky, This gets tricky,
and I just hate that we're going to teeter the
line on this, only because I know obesity is something
that directly affects our community a lot.

Speaker 5 (58:00):
Yeah, and also just the idea that, like, again, we're
talking about a child, so I'm not going to say
it's apples to apples, but the idea of policing obesity
to the point that if you are obese, then the
person who is responsible for your obesity, if you die,
that person might be charged with murder.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
By the way, I want you to watch Big Girls
Wanted on HBO because two of the women on the
show passed away and it's a it's a reality show
about a cult that wasn't a cult. Big bitches saying
it was allegedly molested.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
I don't know, it was a lot.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Okay, So it's a documentary.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
It was a it was a documentary. It's on HBO Max.
I believe it's three episodes.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Big Girls Wanted, Big Girls Wanted.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Welcome to Paradise, and one of the women actually reached
an excess of five hundred pounds and she was on
OnlyFans b uh. And the kink was feeders. So feeders
will buy your food and pay to watch you eat.
And so there was a conversation around this kink a crazy,

(59:08):
like it's not a zoo, but this is a sea world,
Like what the are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (59:14):
And you know what's crazy? I didn't know, but y'all
know the muck bangs.

Speaker 2 (59:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
I always want to say it like that actually a
part of feederism. I don't see that people they eat
and do all the.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
Ans m r.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
There's actually people on the other side of that phone
or computer getting so crazy we can't see.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
That's the kick.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
We should shame. Wait, we should can't muck banging.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Yes, we should shame feederism.

Speaker 5 (59:45):
I need to go talk to me because like you're
you're you're basically animalizing the person that you're doing that
you're that you're getting off on, like what is supposed
to be that no one's business though it's it's the
person who might die if I can get.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
King crab legs and oxtail for the free and a
nigga gonna pay me to watch me slurp a bone.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Oh, I'm taking.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
But once you get to the point where you're five
hundred pounds and somebody is paying you money to eat
the worst ship for you, that's gonna make you probably
die or at least be sick. Like you can do
whatever you want to with your sexuality. To me, that's
not no sexual ship. That's like you have a sickness.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
And yeah, like.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
If you want to fuck a tentacle, if you want
a motherfucking get a golden shower, Like if you want
a motherfucking have bukaki, you do whatever you want to do.
That's fine. Yeah, whatever you want to do, that's fine.
I don't care about that. But this feels a little
bit like you seen the movie seven. It feels a

(01:00:55):
little bit like that. To me, you kind of feel like.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
A serial killer if you motherfuck.

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
Look but be ready, ready, you want to see where
the line is blured.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
So what if you just a big bitch going on
a date and the man is paying for the food
sitting across from you and y'all are just watching each
other eat.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
So now big bitches can't go on dates. That is
that what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (01:01:17):
They can go on all the days they want to,
all the shones ponds more.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
I don't think no more. But I think in Georgia
is I can see there being one in Georgia someone.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
No way, y'all got Piccadilly here, Piccadilly.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
Still the old people. That's like retirement home.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Pa got the same food as going to corral the barrel, well,
crane barrel.

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
You at least not cracking bar you know, it's so crazy.
Why does that establishment even exist down here?

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Yeah, crack a barrel. I don't like the name where
they don't like to be called crackers. I want to say.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
To crack a bar waker barrel is about the crackers.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
Like this, it's not but I mean, but I mean
like it's the interpretation of the Bible, right interpretation.

Speaker 6 (01:02:07):
Cracker barrel is like a man.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
No, no, they just changed the logo and apparently it
was right change your changed.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
I think they changed your back.

Speaker 1 (01:02:15):
Cracker barrel gets its name from the wooden barrels used
to ship soda, crackers, the old fashioned southern general source.

Speaker 8 (01:02:23):
No, but like.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
But yeah, but also when a nigga walks in cracker
barrel and cracker barrel, you see.

Speaker 4 (01:02:33):
Documentary, you're gonna watch that nigga in cracker barrel, You're
gonna automatically think racial tension.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
I used to love cracker, had great means.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
A cracker barrel and you get to just throw your
peanut your peanuts season.

Speaker 4 (01:02:48):
But you know what, my thing has always been like
you ain't never been, have you? Just like a New
York you talk about interpretation of the Bible. I don't
have a problem putting crackers in the barrel. But I
would love to put a bunch of crackers in the
and kicked the ass off Niagara Falls or something like.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
I don't have a problem with that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
He said, let's put the cracks see the mean to
It would be a great mean.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
We love everybody, the great cracker barrel roll. You tell
me this guy?

Speaker 3 (01:03:14):
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
Allegedly they said, don't judge.

Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
What name we gotta look at.

Speaker 2 (01:03:24):
His name was Herschel where he grew up at what's
the last name? Don't help you all? He got that
he got that nigga whipping smile on his face and
whip smile like a nigga face whipping smile if I
ever seen one. Let me see where he from me
from resident researcher. What's his name? Uncle, uncle herschel.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
No, you were just the ambassador, y'all. Let's let's let
him live. I don't know, I don't know, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
Tricky. Let's get into celebrities say the darnest things.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
I don't know why we gotta keep bringing up this bitch,
but she'd be saying some shit that gets my gears going,
though I ain't gonna hol ember Rose recently sat on
the Truth after Dark podcast with My girl a czar,
my homie, Paul Pierce, and this is.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
What she had to say.

Speaker 10 (01:04:24):
They never tell my kids they have to work ten
times harder because they're black. You have to work just
as hard as everyone else.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
And if you want to be.

Speaker 10 (01:04:33):
If you want to be better, you know, like let's
say the NBA for an example, if you want to
be like a real All Star, yeah you gotta work harder,
but you have to work just as hard as everybody else.
Your skins color in America is not gonna stop you
from being great. I ain't trying to hear none of
that shit. We live in a free country. You can
be whoever the fuck you want to be. And I
never tell my kids it's all she.

Speaker 2 (01:04:54):
Drank the juice.

Speaker 3 (01:04:54):
To me, that's what it sounded like.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
To you. It sounds like she drank all the juice.
It was all good, good until she said that last line,
What part did you not like? Your skin color? Is
not gonna stop you from being great?

Speaker 8 (01:05:12):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:05:14):
Theoretically it shouldn't theoretically, but we're not.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
We're not in theoretic theory has not existed ever in
the world.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
If the playing cards was even of course, but they're not.

Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
And I think that's what she's doing here, is she's
trying to ignore that reality of it, like there's no
harsh realities as it pertains to a black American. You know,
her kid is the reality of it is. Her kid
is not going to be based on what we know.
They're not going to have to struggle because her parents
are well off, so they already got a leg up on.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Mort No, that doesn't even matter.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
It brings me back to how upset I wasn't asap
rocky when you act like BLM and the nfair justice
system didnt apply to him because he lived in Calabasas, right,
you know what I mean, Like, at the end of
the day, you could be you could go to school,
you can get your degrees, you could be this there's
still gonna be an effect on everything about your life

(01:06:14):
walking around with darker skin, Like it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:17):
Just is and I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:06:20):
And unfortunately there is also the scale of colorism.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
I don't know how bright her children are, Like, I
haven't seen photos of her children recently, so I don't
know if she's coming from a light skin privileged lens
or not as someone who has been able to have
privilege as a white passing biracial woman. But I'm curious
as to why she doesn't after experiencing everything we have

(01:06:48):
with BLM, seeing how black men are treated in this country,
why she would.

Speaker 3 (01:06:52):
Think that their skin isn't gonna affect them.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
I mean, I guess I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (01:06:58):
Well, Sebastian is a black boy.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Yeah, like we know or Bash, Well, his name is Sebastian,
and then what's the other kid?

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
I just I don't knowead say, uh, I don't know
his name, but it's on our goddamn forehead.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
I thought Sebastian was on her forehead.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
No slash, slash slash, so she got slash and Sebastian.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
Okay, yep, slash and bash.

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
It's just weird to me to even well, I guess
not weird for her because I don't consider her particularly
smart about these topics.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
But but like, we know there's racism, and we know
that there's a lot of white people in America.

Speaker 5 (01:07:41):
I know we had our debate about how many of
us are actually here, but I think we can agree
that we're all. There's more white people here, especially in
places of power where they have insulated themselves from having.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
To even deal with black people. But like, why would
you say that there's nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
Why would you say we don't have to work as hard.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
Yeah, like, everyone has to work hard if you want
to get what you want to get in his life.
But working hard isn't the only thing that is going
to make someone be successful.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
We know the hardest working people are at the bottom.

Speaker 5 (01:08:14):
You might be hard work, you might be coming from
your third job and eighty hours a wee can get
killed by the police. Facts, all your hard work won't
stop a nigga from killing you. When they beat Ridney
king Up. They beat Rodney king Up in fucking Compton,
or why they beat Rodney Kingo in a suburban area
of Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (01:08:34):
Yep, like.

Speaker 3 (01:08:36):
Tray Bon Martin's family.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
In great neighbor couldn't even walk in the neighborhood as
a black boy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
What are we talking about?

Speaker 4 (01:08:45):
Also too, you know how many videos even in my
YouTube algorithm, I'll see a video of like, you know,
FBI agent getting stopped by a black FBI agent getting
stoped by police. Oh, before he interacts with them and
let them know that who he is, he lets it
play out. And then when they find out, oh ship,
this guy is a big, big fed, then narrative change.

Speaker 2 (01:09:06):
Well you know why they stopped them.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
Ryan Coogler was not even able to withdraw money his day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
Own man verifying who he was, gave him.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
He did the right thing. He just gave the note
because he can't be like as a black man, Hey,
I want my ten thousand dollars right, because they can
be like whoaa, or they might be like you lying
you broke. He prove it right, So now he proved
it like yore. Here here's who I am that's not enough.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
And I will say in terms of acceleration, even in
the corporate spaces, it's why you're pushed to go to
an HBCU, It's why you're pushed.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
To pledge to any of the Greeks.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
It's because if one person can get in, hopefully they're
gonna bring you with them, because no, when they are
looking at those resumes to get into certain jobs, they're
looking at the person like I have. Like even even
so Crystal, it's so funny even moving into to Brooklyn
and doing real estate when we lived in New York.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
She's a very Jewish last name, and she used to
talk about how surprised.

Speaker 1 (01:10:11):
They were when she would come to interviews and she
was like, oh, I know, they wasn't expecting my black
ass she walked, and so like this conversation that like,
you know, you could do anything, and I just think
you gotta work hard and beat great, like get the
fuck out of here.

Speaker 5 (01:10:27):
There's a viral video going around right now that I
watch of a black woman. She's in tech, and she's
in it and she was talking about how she got
a referral from somebody. Hey, I think this company is
looking for you know, someone in this space is not exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
What you do, but you should go for this job.

Speaker 5 (01:10:44):
So she said, she goes through the interview process and
it is a viral I mean a digital interview process. Okay,
So she said when she was doing it, she didn't
have her camera on. The people who were there didn't
really require her to have her camera on. But she
said she did three interviews, amazing interviews, like busting it
up with people. She said they got to the point

(01:11:04):
where they were talking about their favorite animes and all
kind of just regular personal shits but kicking it. And
I guess her a headhunter or whatever hit her back like, yo,
you're pretty much a shoe in for this gig.

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Like they're gonna make you an offer.

Speaker 5 (01:11:18):
She said, they want to do uh, they want to
They want to see you though they want to get
to know you a.

Speaker 2 (01:11:23):
Little bit better.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
They want to see you.

Speaker 5 (01:11:25):
So she said she got to the interview and she
said the whole thing was different. They were dry, there
was no key king, there was no personal interaction. All
the enthusiasm that they had previously they didn't have no more.
So she said she hit up her Asian homie and
was like hey, you should go out for this job

(01:11:45):
because I think they want somebody Asian.

Speaker 2 (01:11:47):
And he was like, how do you know that.

Speaker 5 (01:11:49):
She was just like, I just think they would rather
have somebody Asian. And she went for the job and
called her back like a week later, was like, yeah,
he hired me. I'm starting tomorrow, and she was. She
said she wasn't even tripper because you know, her friend
got the job. But it's like that's the kind of
ship that exists in this.

Speaker 4 (01:12:08):
You know, it's interesting that lady who got you know
who lost her job from JP Morgan for the for
the NIX.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
I wonder who's gonna take that her position?

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
Nobody d I had done for them. That was their
way to clear out D.

Speaker 4 (01:12:19):
Yeah, I say, I would be surprised they even filled
that that position probably be dark.

Speaker 2 (01:12:26):
Yeah, yeah, I would. I would buy the garbage can
and just leave it in the area. Memory she was crazy,
But again, yeah, we should.

Speaker 3 (01:12:37):
There's a lot of people that probably a.

Speaker 4 (01:12:39):
Conservative, so we should not expect anything less than these
type of yeah talking points.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
All I know is when I went through college, I
knew I had to work harder. I knew I had
to get into NAPA. I was a part of the
National Association for Block Accountants. I knew my grades had
to be top tier. I knew I had to study
abroad so that I could have, uh, you know, experience
with other cultures. Like I mean, bitch, I'm from Orlando,

(01:13:07):
lived in Atlanta, then moved to the Bronx. Like I
knew I had to like find a way to be
around others. Yeah, Like I actually was a lot of
my whole life. A part of my like minority groups,
that's it. And so part of me was like, oh shit,
I got to learn how to work with with Asians
and whites if I'm going into fucking finance and accounting
in New York City.

Speaker 3 (01:13:28):
And so for me knowing I had to like do
everything right.

Speaker 1 (01:13:32):
It was interesting because when I first started at Ernst
and Young, there was two of us shout out.

Speaker 3 (01:13:37):
To Andrew, Me and Andrew. We were the only black
people on our whole team. We were on the team
for State tax.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
I would say our team was roughly sixteen one partner,
probably four uh.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
Supervising managers.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
The one manager ain't like me, the Asian lady, and
then we were all like staff one and two accounts.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
So probably like sixteen and we were the only two.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
So that's twelve percent and a half percent, twelve percent
of the team.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
And we both were a part of NAVA and I'll
never forget it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
First quarter reviews came around and I was never late,
shut up on time, all these things, and they like
got at me for not sleeping under the desk.

Speaker 3 (01:14:34):
They felt like I wasn't working hard.

Speaker 1 (01:14:35):
I would be there till three and a yeah, by
the way, be there at nine while everyone else got
to mosey on in at ten to thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
And there was a guy that sat in my office.
He had been there for two or three years, Jewish guy.
Not to talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
Oh here we go, but.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Shuwt up late, didn't talk to nobody, didn't And when
I tell you, reviews came and went stellar every time.
Did he get the promotions and things though, But did
anybody in the office point out to him that he
was coming late, that he's stunk, that he was dirty.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
Niggas didn't even tell him to clean his desk. And
I was just like, oh wow, But how I had
to show up, how Andrew had to show up. It
was a lot different.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
We had to come in, tidied up, like we had
to dress a certain way. We just show up, hair
had to be a certain way. And this man could
just sit at come in dirty stands on his shirt
and nobody ever said anything to him. And it was
very clear, like, Okay, he's going to get to work
here forever long he wants to, but it's going to
be different for us.

Speaker 5 (01:15:43):
I wonder Sebastian now is probably what eleven, eleven twelve,
something like that, and that I wonder when he turned sixteen,
is amber going to have to talk with him?

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
I think Wizzle have to talk with him.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
Luckily, he does have a black father that is still
present in his life. She's not gonna be the one
that had that talk.

Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
It's gonna have to be with because like what you
gonna You're gonna go tell your sixteen year old son, Oh,
don't worry about the police.

Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
The police are your friends. So it's interesting police won't
do anything to you. What's his name? Cashas Uh. There's
a video.

Speaker 4 (01:16:14):
I wish we had this in the clip, but for
those at home, if you're listening, there's a video interaction
with Wiz and Bash bashes at the mall and he
runs into or he sees somebody he's been having issues
with in school and he wants to deal with it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
So he called his father, which I thought was dope, Like, Pops,
I see you know such.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
A recorded was this something Yeah, yeah with Wizz was
on stream and he's like, ya, hold on, I gotta
deal with this. But it, you know, it keeps, it
keeps going. So he's I love the conversation. He's like, yo,
bad chill. You always live to see another day. It's
not what you're gonna do. You're gonna wow him up.
And then what and then and then it's after you
know what I mean. He's like, yeah, I know, but
you hear Bash. He ain't really he hear him, but

(01:16:56):
he's like, I want to fuck him up. But I
love that conversation with him and it and I think
he talked to them more from it. And when he
got off the phone with him, right he got up
the phone with him, Whiz was like, he probably gonna
suck him up, you know what I mean, But at
least he gave him a foundation of sound advice like listen,
you don't have to do this, you know what I mean,

(01:17:16):
It's okay, get to the next step.

Speaker 2 (01:17:18):
And that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:19):
So to your point, who's gonna have that conversation? I
totally agree based on what I saw, WI is probably
having or having that conversation.

Speaker 5 (01:17:26):
Is there a trend of like celebrity kids getting beat up?
Because Joe Butden was telling his story on phone on
his podcast about that shit was I think everybody everybody
squabbles phone. Yeah, I mean it's like you were asking
for all kinds of trouble going to somebody's crib, knocking

(01:17:47):
on the door.

Speaker 2 (01:17:48):
You got my phone. I see you got my phone,
but no, you can't run.

Speaker 4 (01:17:52):
That's also like, yo, these are fifteen hundred dollars phones.
Joe said, I got a drawer full of phone.

Speaker 2 (01:17:58):
Come get on. But we we gotta. We have to honor.
That's how you end up like Terry and Arnold.

Speaker 4 (01:18:03):
But that's why the conversation is important, because because the
first natural instinct is I want my ship back.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
Sure, fortunately you can talk to somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
You can literally sign into an your eye cloud on
another phone.

Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
But you need but rather the conversation first than the
reaction first, and then ship.

Speaker 2 (01:18:20):
Why didn't you call me first? Right?

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
I don't like when kids live like they're impoverished in
their knobs, like your daddy said, come get this drawer.
You feel like you gotta go run up and tried me.
Like now they tried you, and you be the I'm
saying that all adults. As a child, the first thing

(01:18:47):
you want to address or.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
He's in college.

Speaker 4 (01:18:54):
Okay, so we addressing the violation. That's what you're addressing
as an adult. Yes, you want to address up.

Speaker 5 (01:19:01):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, man, No, no, you know he is yeah,
you with so he's another person's house. You have no
control over the environment.

Speaker 2 (01:19:12):
And so he's a four year old adult. Think about that.
I mean, yes, but still like he's still a baby.
At twenty five.

Speaker 5 (01:19:20):
When I was twenty five, I met this girl and
buckhead and I went to pick her up one night
and she came out the crib with a double bag.

Speaker 2 (01:19:27):
In her hand. She said, I got I'm about I'm
thinking the same thing. I'm thinking.

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
It's over.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
She got a bag in her hand. I'm like, oh, okay, cool, it's.

Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
You're about to go get some Hennessy and Roadies blunts
and we're gonna crack some. She opens the door and says, hey,
before we go to your crib. Nope, can we just
stop by my cousin at this hotel. I just got
to take him this bag real quick, take him his bad.

Speaker 4 (01:19:56):
So now she comes in the car. You see the bag,
You think it. Oh, I'm about to know what I mean,
tear this up. But then she said, I gotta drop
this off to the hotel. Yes, I have to go,
y'all going to the hotel? Can we before we go
to your house? Can we go meet my cousin at
this hotel? And then I'm looking at her like this
is you crazy?

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
Tell me hell no?

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
She said no, no, it's not like that. I just
got to give him this ship real quick. I was like,
what ship? Now? Yes, yes, now you and now you
need to know what it's just a little powder? Is nothing?

Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
You fucking crazy? Like did you ever see her again? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, I got we gotta
be invested.

Speaker 4 (01:20:38):
You go back into that that that building right there,
you can drop you put that bag back in there,
and then you bring.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
Your hands back to the car. That's after what she did.

Speaker 4 (01:20:46):
Okay, but no am I going to ever get the
bag to her cousin at some point without Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:20:51):
That's yeah, that's what she got to figure it out
on her own.

Speaker 4 (01:20:53):
I don't know, she went tomorrow, next day or whatever,
and you accomplished the mission.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Absolutely you cracked. Yeah, I live another day.

Speaker 3 (01:21:03):
But taking you, I'm being patty. I ain't letting a
nigga cracked. That didn't do me a favor.

Speaker 2 (01:21:09):
You told me no out the game, I'll tell you.
But but how get a piece of these bricks? Well
that's is that what you're telling me.

Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
You're getting a piece of the cheeks.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
But that ain't good enough?

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
But good enough.

Speaker 4 (01:21:22):
But Mandy, you're saying you wouldn't let nobody crack it.
But that's the equal it's an equal opportunity. Opportunity. What
because if you're getting cracked, you're the cracky.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
If somebody just cracked one way?

Speaker 6 (01:21:40):
This is another case of solmon knowledge.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
One way, sty why would.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
You got the dick? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
It's not always even exchange, y'all.

Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
Always we're not talking about what we're not talking about
the whole how many push up you could do in
the process.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
That's that, that's the the course of getting there.

Speaker 1 (01:22:01):
No, no, no, it's not an even exchange when both
parties do not at least come and.

Speaker 2 (01:22:06):
That's well, that's the that's the risk you take of
having a risk that you don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:22:11):
You don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:12):
Man, you can have dry couch or you can have.

Speaker 3 (01:22:16):
No man.

Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
You said.

Speaker 5 (01:22:18):
The point of the story is that at twenty five
years old, you should have discernments about there's a good
idea and what's a bad idea?

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
To twenty five year olds.

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
Today, twenty five yearls should even know more? Who more?

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
Because you've seen everything. You've seen how badly everything is
going on. I can't raise the kids. Man, Oh, and
here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:22:35):
A man's frontal low typically reaches full development around Jesus research.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
It's third thirty. That's a long time. Good, that's a
long time they good.

Speaker 3 (01:22:46):
Out of dated, some twenty five year olds. We got
some smart they.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
Gotta do updated study. I'm gonna know. I want to say,
how old is this study? When was this conction?

Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
Niggas don't read no more either, they don't read, So
how do we develop that frontal low?

Speaker 3 (01:22:59):
I ain't gon hold you. I'm in the whole thing, hey,
especially in Georgia.

Speaker 1 (01:23:02):
Yo, I mean, let me know when we're going on
the belt line with some cue cards, of sentences to
have these niggas read it.

Speaker 4 (01:23:07):
Listen, I don't think you're gonna last more than forty four.
I think you're just gonna tap out. I think you're
gonna be so disappointing.

Speaker 5 (01:23:13):
You know what nigga content nowadays, niggas front a little
bit developed by fucking runs.

Speaker 2 (01:23:20):
And hell cats. That's that's niggas. That's niggas from the.

Speaker 1 (01:23:25):
The last topic India I read decided I'm shocked at this.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
I'm so tired of this corny ass debate.

Speaker 1 (01:23:36):
By the way, look, by the way, we we did
bring up this topic a couple of weeks ago because
d one also said that this was a heathen, devilish
song that was.

Speaker 3 (01:23:53):
Poisoning our community.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
I do want to say this does come off from
a Muther and daughter who were recently charged with thievery
after they decided to post Louis bags that they stole
from the store. And they went on Instagram and showed
off these bags and guess what song was playing in

(01:24:19):
the background, Jesus Christ, Young Miami spin that.

Speaker 3 (01:24:22):
So there's a woman by the name of missus MJ
ted La.

Speaker 1 (01:24:28):
I'm calling for a boycott of Young Miami song spin
that I believe it's degrading to our culture. At some
point we have to take seriously the power music has
over our perception and the values it reinforces. This cannot
be the song of the summer where India are miss,
I am not my hair responded. I spend my entire

(01:24:51):
adulthood caring way too much because I finally learned that
not everybody cares with a capital see and explaining it
to them is not going to make them care. Everything
you listen, to, see or eat is going to influence you.

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
So make your wise choice.

Speaker 1 (01:25:08):
She also goes further to say this this one has
actually now since been deleted. The mass acceptance of this
song itself is a crystal clear sign of the bigger problem.
I finally realized that not everybody wants to be free,
and it was a very rude awakening.

Speaker 5 (01:25:27):
I hate this whole shit. I'm so sick of these niggas, man.
I'm so sick of these niggas man, because what all
I'm hearing.

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
Is that a.

Speaker 11 (01:25:36):
So once upon a time, once upon a time, sorry
sorry sorry, born in Philadelphia, the whole thing so.

Speaker 5 (01:25:49):
Long as a once upon a time, there was a
song by Kanye West called Jesus Walks.

Speaker 2 (01:25:55):
Okay, big hit record, huge, Everybody loved it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:58):
Everyone playing on the radio, niggas singing it, niggas doing
a little Jesus Walk down. It's the whole ship. Everybody
loves Jesus Walks. How many people you think got saved
because of Jesus Walks? How much you think the ties
and offerings in the church went up because Kanye West
song Jesus Walks was playing on the radio and everybody
loved it, and everyone got so influenced to read the Bible.

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
And don't think in touch with God? I think I think.
I think zero.

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
You think one person no got inspired to get saved,
get communion?

Speaker 2 (01:26:29):
No, okay, I think that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:31):
However, I do think Jesu's music.

Speaker 4 (01:26:37):
The girl, the girl who had the dumble bag in
your car they were trying to she listened to Jesus.

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
She was she was missing snowman.

Speaker 1 (01:26:46):
I because tricky, because this could be mind you, for
whatever reason, we don't get this uproar from American Gangster
or the film and tell division scene where we see
killing and shooting and we're fine with everyone having the
Godfather and all. This is their favorite movie and Belly.

Speaker 2 (01:27:07):
And juice, Relax, don't bring Belly into this.

Speaker 4 (01:27:10):
Why Belly was a blueprint of surviving and they went
to Africa that the goal was to get out of
the situation.

Speaker 2 (01:27:19):
But anyway, we're not gonna do that.

Speaker 1 (01:27:20):
But I say that to say we are able, and
I think we should be able to show off and
rap about.

Speaker 3 (01:27:31):
Realities for everyone. And scamming and boosting is not just
the reality for Black people.

Speaker 7 (01:27:37):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:27:38):
I hate they were making it up our community.

Speaker 2 (01:27:40):
They go down.

Speaker 1 (01:27:41):
We are We are openly wearing the labels of boosters
and scammers as if fucking American greed doesn't fucking exist
and he's crackers ain't out here boosting and scamming every
goddamn day.

Speaker 4 (01:27:55):
Well, slavery, Uh, Kanye once said that slavery was a choice.
Now I don't think he was referring to at least
how I'm interpreting my interpretation of slavery.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Is a choice?

Speaker 4 (01:28:05):
Is the things that we do that we have choice
over determines the outcome and where we So the mother
and daughter that got arrested for boosting, you know, it
seems to me that they was in the clear until
they went on social media. And posted it right. So
the issue there is not the song right, because it's
a mother and a daughter that plan to do this, Yes,

(01:28:28):
that had nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
Right and to blame it or.

Speaker 4 (01:28:34):
Even those scenarios adults behaving like this on the song,
I can't let that fly.

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
Also, throughout the.

Speaker 4 (01:28:43):
Course of music, of black music, in particular, in particular rap,
there's been several songs that we've that's been questionable, that's
not really righteous, so to speak. You have to make
the decision do you separate the song from how you
interact with the public or not.

Speaker 2 (01:28:58):
That's what it boils down to.

Speaker 4 (01:29:00):
And also, like let's be clear about this, they're all
the kids and also to the kids right that I
know that's a concern, and I get it, d One
and and others.

Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
They are speaking from a spiritual.

Speaker 4 (01:29:13):
Blueprint, right, a spiritual and religious blueprint that that is
against that. But I've always of the mindset when you
teach and have domain in your house and give these
kids the foundation to make decisions.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
This ship don't ready. This is just entertaining.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
This is child neglect, this is child abuse. As a mother,
she should be charged for going to commit crimes with
her child.

Speaker 2 (01:29:36):
Well, I don't think that's overgrown to grow up again?

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
How old is she?

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
She might be she look, she might be grown as hell.
She's your but and son age probably yeah. Look they
look like the same nigga like.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
You know, way ages the way agesy a little bit
maybe got a prime season just ended not too long ago,
and nim bites looked grown as fuck.

Speaker 6 (01:30:01):
Go something in the water.

Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
There's something in the water. And these was Florida bitches too.

Speaker 4 (01:30:06):
So why do they say to spend that challenge? Young
Miami don't have a challenge. She didn't encourage them.

Speaker 6 (01:30:11):
There might be there might be a TikTok challenge.

Speaker 3 (01:30:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:15):
It's probably a dance or something.

Speaker 4 (01:30:17):
But the way that frame is like walking with challenge
and show us putting a box of clorox under your
shirt and walking.

Speaker 2 (01:30:23):
That's not the challenge.

Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
Can we look and see how old day were allegedly
like James Winston did once upon a time stealing crabro.

Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
They seventy five thousand dollars worth.

Speaker 4 (01:30:31):
Of bags and those were unique bags, according to the
story I read. So when inside when she posted it
just walking to lois No, it's not you know, why
why would she posted. Then she was in the clear
and she had a heat job. They had the whole
outfit on age trying to be discreet.

Speaker 2 (01:30:47):
It is just fucking obsessed. Did you see the actual video.

Speaker 4 (01:30:50):
With them boosting it? No, she had on a heat job.
Oh yes, she and she got they got the purchases.
It was well putted out.

Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
Again Downs something Downs Downs is the last name of
both of them. But okay, it's like all this one second.

Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
But here's here's my here's my main problem with this
shit because to me, these niggas, we sound like the ops,
because people will find any excuse for the ills of
society except the people who propagated the ills of society.
Like the system is our enemy, right, Like it's not.

(01:31:30):
It's not a song, y'all, rather talk about songs and movie.

Speaker 2 (01:31:33):
Yeah, never mind, y'all.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
She's forty three.

Speaker 2 (01:31:36):
Both, Oh no, she forty three, and then her mom
and then her mom. Yeah, I was grown. Also her mother's.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
That's not a kid.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):
The mother pushing sixty woman.

Speaker 3 (01:31:45):
I ain't gonna lie. They've been doing this though they've
been doing this.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
This isn't this isn't brought about from from the spend
that she's a forty three year old woman and her
mama joined her to go still seventy five thousand dollars
worth of Louis bags.

Speaker 3 (01:31:57):
But they've been doing this. This isn't this isn't so influencing.

Speaker 7 (01:32:04):
It just like it just so happens to be the
hottest song right now, and it just goes with what
they're remind you.

Speaker 1 (01:32:09):
Not only that, y'all want to know why Young Miami
was solo in her career for some time because JT
was in jail for scamming and boosting.

Speaker 3 (01:32:16):
Yeah, that's literally what JT went to jail for. So
Young Miami, you keep trying to whistle blow to get
Drake on this record.

Speaker 1 (01:32:27):
She is right there, Getja Tavia on the goddamn remixed
bitch making a City Girls record. You literally had to
go solo for about two years because she was serving.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
Time for scamming and boosting. Where all my scamming ass bitches,
that bitch you you kicked her out the group, y'all separated,
Go get her for the rest. She literally was a
part of this.

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:32:55):
I just hate that they just keep trying to ruin
This song of the Summer to me is mini. We
didn't have one last year. We were talking about folding clothes.

Speaker 2 (01:33:03):
Right, But it's this song.

Speaker 5 (01:33:05):
But it's even It's just I just sick of the
idea that the music is what's making black people in
society do crime and be some type of savages. Like
the first problem is that, Hey, to me, these niggas
are the ops. When you talk like that, to me,
you sound like you're.

Speaker 2 (01:33:23):
Doing the masters work.

Speaker 5 (01:33:24):
Yeah, it's you're doing the masters work because the Master
would much rather have you talk about this fucking song
than the right state stealing from us.

Speaker 2 (01:33:32):
The Master would much.

Speaker 5 (01:33:33):
Rather you have talk about these lyrics than talk about
the money that they're buzzling and doing from all this
other shit. Y'all niggas are worried about the black position. Yeah,
y'all worried about the wrong thing. On top of all
of that, black people, you also make it sound like
black people are stupid, Like is if we're not smart
enough to hear a song and just treat it as entertainment.

(01:33:53):
When you go to these concerts and these arenas that
have twenty thousand people, you go to these concerts at
stadiums with seventy five eighty thousand people, and everybody's singing
a song about drug dealing or shooting or being a
gangster or whatever the song is.

Speaker 2 (01:34:07):
Ninety nine percent of those people in that crowd, they
never done no crime.

Speaker 5 (01:34:10):
They never did no prison time and davidend no felly,
never killed nobody, never cooked no crack, never smelled.

Speaker 3 (01:34:15):
No cres And they worked hard to buy and they
work hard about.

Speaker 5 (01:34:17):
Them tickets because they have jobs that they went to
college floor that they pay taxes for. These is regular,
well adjusted adults who just want to be entertained. And yeah,
do we want to be entertained by some fuckery? Yes,
that is being human.

Speaker 2 (01:34:29):
We all want to.

Speaker 4 (01:34:32):
We're watching Love Island, We're watching boxing, We're watching football
where niggas are catching CTE and.

Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
Damn you're dying on the field.

Speaker 5 (01:34:41):
We're watching all of this because we as humans are
entertained by things. That doesn't necessarily mean that you don't
know how to compartmentalize entertainment and not make that your
real life. I've been listening to niggas getting shot, stabbed
and in prison since I knew what music was, and
not to mention, there's a bunch of old school songs
by white people in the fifties and Johnny Cash and

(01:35:02):
country songs that we're all talking about getting into a
bar fight and killing somebody, sleeping with some other dudes, man,
and they find out and now you got to stab
them outlaws. These songs have been around since forever.

Speaker 2 (01:35:14):
That don't have nothing to do with us in the community.
That's why they want That's.

Speaker 3 (01:35:19):
Why I liked he's saying it's anti black for our own.

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
Happy, be happy, that's all. Like, do you think that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:35):
If you if they keep doing this and keep highlighting it,
the song gets even more amplified.

Speaker 2 (01:35:41):
People, This can't be the song of the summer too late, motherfucker.

Speaker 4 (01:35:45):
That's always the adverse reaction to it is like when
you keep stimulating it, you know it's being the song
of the summer, you.

Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
Know, the other song of the summer.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
They ain't getting half of this talking about killing niggasang.

Speaker 4 (01:35:58):
It's literally all of my Yeah, but I think that's
forced into the song of the summer.

Speaker 5 (01:36:04):
About what There's a lot of Drake ice though, there's
a lot of there's a lot of.

Speaker 3 (01:36:12):
Out there, No No No she Bang is the other
clear cut song.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
Yeah, there's the people are reacting to clear cut, there's
no other song of the summer is one song of
the song Let's be clear about something, yo?

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
Why did it was like the number? It was for
like a week, but it got replaced by like I
read you, I'm just but like you just don't like
I'm not doing I do like Aubrey, that's funny.

Speaker 3 (01:36:35):
Forget I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
What do I need some head?

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
I know that's right.

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
That needs to just say like he's saying, like he's saying,
we clipping up? So nobody will like that?

Speaker 3 (01:36:43):
Can I forgive? I can't? What do I need some head?

Speaker 2 (01:36:48):
Doctor mother goose doctor Sue's mother. They got to teach
these lyrics in Texas? Right? Is that gonna be illegal?
Is that gonna be looked down? I mean he got
a crimint.

Speaker 1 (01:36:58):
I mean look he's talking about the has some polymarket.
There's scam discussion in.

Speaker 3 (01:37:02):
This song as well. What are you like?

Speaker 4 (01:37:05):
So you know, you know, you know what what solves
this problem amplifying the artists that don't have that content,
That's what should be the focus. But if you're gonna
I'd rather just focus on the Dope ship. Why are
we not talking about Rhapsody? Why they not talking about Raptsody. Right,
she just dropped it. She's about to drop a new project.
That's how you you have the balance, right? Oh yeah,
because instead of instead of pointing out what you don't

(01:37:26):
like about that thing you like because these people that
might might not know it exists, but if you say
it that oh ship, let.

Speaker 2 (01:37:33):
Me tell you. But that's not their agenda.

Speaker 5 (01:37:34):
Their agenda is to they think they're healing the world
like it's a pretentious level of critique that makes them
think that something.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (01:37:43):
I saw a video the other day. I saw a
video of Kirk Franklin on the street talking to some
brothers and was telling all you going to hell, you
need to repent. And Kirk Franklin was trying to show
the nigga love, trying to show the nigga.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:37:56):
And this is Kirk Franklin. This is a man who
believes in God heavily, who makes gospel music. The classic
gospel came out of him because he's still also listen
kirkna be working out. I was like, is gonna beat
this nigga?

Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
Because he was looking at his arms.

Speaker 2 (01:38:15):
No no, no, no no no.

Speaker 4 (01:38:17):
He documents that he does so I'm looking at like,
I don't mean like that you just put it. I'm
acknowledging that we haven't seen Kirk get out his element.
And this is probably the closest time he was going
to because I thought it was gonna happen. I said, Yo,
he about to knock dude out.

Speaker 3 (01:38:33):
He wasn't gon knock him out, he was gonna stomp
him out.

Speaker 4 (01:38:35):
No, put this niggas in his little g and his
sports brawl like he was hol me up, like he
was gonna what this nigga asked that.

Speaker 2 (01:38:48):
That's what I was like then. And the wait, look
when he starts, when he started putting his hand on
like yo, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:38:53):
But first he did this and I was like, oh ship,
And I was like, all right, the hug once he
starts right there, he's still trying to as.

Speaker 2 (01:39:00):
Soon as you said, and your wife is going to
hell to the.

Speaker 4 (01:39:03):
Niggas right hand should have been like, bombs you talk
about my wife?

Speaker 3 (01:39:08):
Can I just say you aged just yet? Again?

Speaker 2 (01:39:10):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:39:11):
Look look look g units look right there, yes, right there,
you're gonna do it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:17):
The kids don't give the unit. Course they do know.
They don't know me. Do you know that thirty. Just
one kid, did you look up the G unit tank top?
No G unit takes see them.

Speaker 6 (01:39:31):
Around in New York, No thirty anywhere?

Speaker 2 (01:39:33):
That ship.

Speaker 3 (01:39:34):
Look at this, look at this, look at that.

Speaker 2 (01:39:38):
Right seen it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
Men were wearing these they.

Speaker 2 (01:39:47):
You know why, but you know why, you know why
it exists right talking over? You know why it exists though?

Speaker 4 (01:39:53):
Why the old tank tops they had the thin strap Okay,
and that was you know kind of I thought.

Speaker 6 (01:40:00):
He tried to make him this was more super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
He did, he did, yes, he did. He brought it back.

Speaker 6 (01:40:05):
He's trying to bring the ship back.

Speaker 4 (01:40:07):
It's well, but the reason why because his first record
in the club, that's what he has on and it's
because his signature.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
Yeah, so that was just old to that when he
did Super Bowl was I thought he.

Speaker 3 (01:40:20):
Was trying to make it look like a bulletproof vest.

Speaker 2 (01:40:24):
It kind of does have He should have the bulletproovests
over the tank.

Speaker 6 (01:40:27):
I mean, they still sell these ships.

Speaker 4 (01:40:29):
I don't want to know, but those are those are
the better type of tank tops though.

Speaker 2 (01:40:33):
Yeah, the strap.

Speaker 5 (01:40:35):
The problem is that I'm not worried about the straps.
This ship comes up to like right here, and it's straight.

Speaker 3 (01:40:40):
Across, like it's like a bouse.

Speaker 2 (01:40:42):
Yeah, Like the tank top was supposed to have a
kind of a unique type of thing. Like I think
that's intentional.

Speaker 3 (01:40:47):
I think he you know, I don't want to see
any man in the G unit tank.

Speaker 1 (01:40:50):
Yeah, that sh it looks crazy. Sorry, that's like, I
don't care how good your body looks. I don't want
to see no no G unit tank top in.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
Twenty twenty six. Yeah, I didn't want to see it
back in.

Speaker 4 (01:41:00):
You know what I'm saying. We call it the GENI
and Tank time. I don't think that they branded it
that way. They probably should have. He came, he came
out with the sneakers and all of that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:09):
The G Unit used to be right on it.

Speaker 2 (01:41:12):
Yeah, unit Unit tank You know what I can't the unit? Yeah,
the unit cause they took the G out. Yeah, for branding.

Speaker 5 (01:41:21):
I hate it for Brandon, And we probably got scared
when the guy damn when when he the face came
from John ruling them.

Speaker 2 (01:41:26):
It was like, no, no, no, we're about to clean
this up.

Speaker 3 (01:41:29):
Niggas, they're coming for us.

Speaker 5 (01:41:30):
But the longest short of it is, yes, a nigga
wearing one of those who loves Jesus and goes to church,
was gonna whoop your ass.

Speaker 2 (01:41:35):
I think he would have whooped his I think he
was just close. Oh we do this. There was a
size Kendrew Lamar has a has a lyric because everybody
don't do that.

Speaker 3 (01:41:47):
We got.

Speaker 4 (01:41:49):
Got the greatest album in his catalog and they got there.

Speaker 2 (01:41:53):
He was being goofy. He was doing.

Speaker 3 (01:41:58):
The joke. He wrote that down.

Speaker 2 (01:41:59):
Yes, okay, put it down, but.

Speaker 4 (01:42:01):
He wouldn't trying to be have lyrical supremacy over there.
He did that because he was like, I'm gonna show
you the goofy ship.

Speaker 2 (01:42:07):
No, that's anyway. He has a line that says.

Speaker 5 (01:42:13):
I am a sinner and I'm probably gonna sin again,
Like that's that's a real human thing.

Speaker 4 (01:42:18):
Like that's just what it is, and that's the human
Like it was hot, right, but like sold then by
that that he didn't really wrap that.

Speaker 2 (01:42:28):
The church.

Speaker 4 (01:42:29):
The church, the church would not like us. We drink
tequila on our fucking show, right.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):

When the last time you've been to church or the mind?

Speaker 5 (01:42:48):
So the fucking I went to church for the first
time in a long time, probably like three or four
months ago, and that was the first time I had
been in probably years for a child.

Speaker 4 (01:42:57):
No, that don't county sort of a weddings and stuff
like that, like to go to church and get the
word of God.

Speaker 2 (01:43:01):

doing church in this that's the Black Church. Yeah, Christian
capitalism is very real thing.

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
That's minimum, man, you gotta minimum.

Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
Y'all think I'm giving the church five.

Speaker 6 (01:44:16):
Band expectations, but I think they would be like five.

crazy thing to I don't have cash, so they put.

Speaker 2 (01:44:24):

certain if you make a shortain amount and better, you
are expected to give in that bracket that you're in.

Speaker 4 (01:45:07):
To yes of course, because it's the expectation because supposed
to give ten percent in general super transaction.

Speaker 5 (01:45:14):
So the longer the longer, and short of it is,
there's no positive music that you can listen to that's
gonna change the world. And one yeah, yeah, that's gonna
make everyone positive. That's gonna make everyone. Damn, that's gonna
make everyone become a Christian, and it's gonna it's gonna
end violence and in all.

Speaker 2 (01:45:31):
The ills of humanity.

Speaker 5 (01:45:32):
All you gotta do is listen to these positive rap
songs and that would change the black community forever.

Speaker 4 (01:45:38):
You know, it's crazy when we have revolutionary, revolutionary artist
who was for the people and and doing all the
things that we talk about. They wasn't supporting them. They

Speaker 3 (01:48:09):
Mexican, you know what.

Speaker 1 (01:48:09):
And I'm gonna go for Mexico because I went to
Railroad Tacos the other day, said and I was like, damn,

Speaker 6 (01:48:33):
I will say though this game I was a little tight.

Speaker 7 (01:48:36):
Mexico played phenomenally, but that first goal was offside At first.

Speaker 2 (01:48:42):
It was a little controversial sports.

Speaker 7 (01:48:44):
Because because a couple of games before they took a
goal I think it was from Columbia and like they said,
they were off side by like half a foot. And
then this goal, he was offside but like probably one
or two people. So I was just like, all right, whatever,
So I couldn't I think I had a feeling Mexico
was gonna win because Mexico's were playing at home. Yes,

(01:49:05):
stadium looked electric, ye insane, and they also were like
not letting the Ecuadorian teams sleep. They were making noise
outside of the hotels.

Speaker 3 (01:49:17):
Well, I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:49:18):
It looks like, uh, the African countries are doing their
big one and getting rid of the colonized.

Speaker 7 (01:49:23):
I was, as we're speaking, uh their congo is beating England.

Speaker 2 (01:49:26):
