Y'all wanted to tad left was? I didn't have any
over on Sunday? You supposed to throw the left was

over after the day after Thanks. I ate too many
cakes that I am having issue. I don't know what
happened to me. My foot swoll up I had but
I had a home. But I literally had two much sweets.
I had an incredible day yesterday y'all went up to
um Tennessee with some friends of mine and we had
a whole little coom bay ya moment and it was
(03:06):
so funny. All. So you know, obviously, um, um, if
you're following on Instagram, I'm talking about the Uncle Nars distiller.
But we went to the Jack Daniels grave, right, and
we start our tour at the Jack Dangels Grave because
Jack Daniels a significant peace to the Uncle Niar's story. Um.
And we were standing there and Lula Chris was literally
like getting these weird vibes right now, mind you're weird dog,
(03:31):
Watch this dog. I'm I'm gonna all the way blow
your mind. Pause. So we basically starting the Jack Daniels
Cemetery because we talked about Jack and you know his
affiliates wont In. And across the way is the Black
Cemetery because back in the day you had the White
Cemetery the Black Cemetery. So Chris is like, come on,
and so I'm walking when I was like you good,
He's like, dog, it's like I had this energy and
(03:53):
I don't know what the energy is. I'm like, well,
you're good. You want to go to this other side?
You want to because you know and Doxy didn't get
off the truck. She just don't do cemetary, you know
what I'm saying. So a long story show, and he's like,
I hope my energy changes by time we get over
to the Uncle Nards from moral side, because that was
just heavy. Maybe it's just death, right, Okay, cool. We
get over to the other side. He's like breathe, like
(04:17):
like he could breathe. And I'm like, you're straight, like
I'm literally over here, like and he starts welling up
like yo, Kenny, like I feel calm now, I feel easy.
I feel just that. In the third so phone came up.
We had the whole conversation and afterwards he was still
looking like shook and so Far I was like, it's wrong.
He's like, far, I just wants you to know, like
over there, I was feeling crazy. He said. By the
(04:38):
time I got over here, I felt balanced. And she's
like I know why, And I'm like, like, I just
got goose bump thinking, I'm like why I found Like
why I she said, because the slave owner, Uncle Nears,
is reportedly across the way from Jack, like right behind
we were standing. That was so gray because he was dead.
(05:01):
Asked about to like welling up in his eyes, the
whole thing. That's a little aggressive. We stage when we
got man, we got We don't play around stuff like that.
But but I'm just saying that's the power of energy,
the power of energy and spiritual presence is is real.
That was the highlight of my weekend outside of seeing
(05:22):
my family. And now it's time for in case you
missed it, ladies and gentlemen, one time for Queen and Slim.
I just want to say, if you did not see
Queen and Slim, Um, it's a very necessary movie. Take
your kids too. If you have teenage kids, have to
take them to see Queen and Slim. And it's little
(05:44):
things that I want to watch it again because I
know I missed a couple of things here, and then
you know sometimes when you see yeah, you don't get
it all the way. Yeah, you'll catch something, but it's
definitely a necessary movie to watch. You you have not seen,
do I need you don't need. I just want a
big shout to Lena. It's a really good movie. Waist
um and Malina, I was right, my salcus, salcus. If
(06:10):
I said that, right, Molina, Lena, Congratulationship, you have a
hit on your hands. But I want to ask the question.
This was a conversation on Loser's Jet yesterday. Is it
a classic? Now? When we say classic, we have some
black classics, right. We have Boards in the Hood, Friday
Love Jones, we have Friday, we have you know, we
(06:32):
have a number. So we have a number of a
number of amazing hits. The majority of them came out
of the nineties and early two thousands. I'm mnna say this,
but yeah, but I'm just I want to know, Um, Rory,
did you see it? I haven't seen it yet. The
only one in comment at this point, do you borderline?
I gotta see it again. I want to see it again. No,
(06:52):
if it's a classic, you know you have I like
my genre, movies are different. I like watch a superhero movie.
So I'm not I'm not a really big crip. But
you know, a black classic when you see one, I
think it will be considered a classic because it's really good.
I agree with you and Sue to a certain point.
But after having a conversation yesterday, something was made aware
(07:13):
to me that, you know, what can you really with
so much content today, so many movies, television things available
to watch. I didn't get classic day one because I
come from those days of those classics, right. But at
the same time, I feel like it's so necessary, definitely
(07:34):
that it might become a class correct. So then let's
let's define a classic is a classic something that people
later on, decades down the line, people are like, hey,
you have to watch this movie. Classic. I think a
classic is um would be to like if you could
play it over and over and over again. Listen. I
agree with Sue and I agree with you at the
(07:54):
end of the day, like you have to be able
to go, you know, in the future, go back like
dog you ain't like right now to the day, I
still tell people you ain't seeing purple right, you gotta
see purple right nights. Yeah, people, so we're talking classics,
but I feel it has classic potential. To your point,
there is I feel like, you know, in some years
(08:16):
from now. But the one thing I do think there
were two parts in the movie. I'm not gonna spoil
it for you, or but there was one part in
there that I was like, damn, that was a little
too much for me with the little boy. No, no,
no, no no, no, you gotta watch the movie. But it
was a particular I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna
(08:37):
say the story at all. I'm just gonna say it
was a boy and a young boy in the movie
and then left so crazy. You're like, what, it's a
it's a lot of I want to go back to
your point and watch it because there maybe something else.
That's why I want to watch it again, because I'm
over here, like the point now what you're telling me,
and I can't. I can't speak on it. We don't
want to spoil because I definitely I guarantee you guys
(08:59):
put something in the ball A group chat about it though,
yeah you know. And I want to say this though
the support our black films, support those actors, and I'll
say this. It started off you're gonna be it started
off like wait, I wasn't ready. This is too quick.
I like movies like that. Imagine dating someone you're all
(09:21):
seen the commercials. Imagine dating someone in the first date.
The fourth thing that happens is you get pulled over
by the police and end up shooting the police. Just imagining.
That's how you get to know somebody that makes you
want to log in. Girl, let me tell you what
he did, how he protected me. You have to see
(09:44):
the movie. She's a neat Ladies and Gentlemen. Little More
talks about her addiction to opioids and shares it with her.
I g follows. I applaud her. Can we give it
up to her one time? I don't think people really
understand how big this opioid problem. It's very big, you know.
And I was actually having a conversation with Portrait Williams
and she was talking about she was on perks because
(10:05):
she heard her foot and I was like, She's like, yeah,
I got she was like on them. No know what
I'm saying. She was on them prescribed for the pain.
But I'm like, yo, she was telling me how they
worked like she was feeling. I was like, yo, just
be careful, please for me, drink a lot of water.
Do not get hooked on him, because I don't get
how the people that get hooked on the perch Yeah, easy,
(10:26):
like pain like my back. All right, we'll give you
some perks. I had got all four my wisdom teeth
took it at the same time. They definitely gave me
some purse. Yeah, and I was jolly happy, going crazy.
I couldn't do it. It It made me nauseous. It doesn't
it makes me sick. Yeah, I couldn't do it. When
I got my bosom teeth pulled, I took bills for
one day. I felt amazing. See, I don't want to
(10:47):
hear that. Ferrari Simmons. I don't take anymore. I don't
want you to feel amazing. That's the problem. Okay, children
out there, say no the opioids. Ladies and gentlemen. Do
you ever get pornographic messages on Instagram like don't look
at my story if you don't want to masturbate? Well,
I g have seen a spike in these fake accounts,
(11:08):
commonly known as porn box. These fake accounts usually possess
a name, name number. You know, you see those ones
we don't look how is this happening? Yeah? And then
you see the attractive person on the Ya minory. Then
you go to the page. I don't do that. That's
what I heard. Most commonly, hard Flame or Peach emojis,
what they link at random hours of the day or night.
(11:29):
It all boils down to a business model known as
affiliate marketing, which basically rewards you for every click and
you get to bring in traffic to that secondary website.
I just think that I'm tired of the porn box.
I'll be seeing them a little too much. I don't
know if it's because when I'm on the road, I
go to lesbian point videos that No, I don't know
(11:51):
how tet you Rios, I know you have experienced on
this subject. Rials, can you share with us? Why is
it some algorithm because you go to porn site that
it comes reels? How is this happening? I have no clue.
(12:12):
I'm unaware about that. Ball Nation needs perspective. You, I
know you and Caesar. I know you know Caesar was
in a Puerto Rico by himself. But then I saw
some videos of you at the bar with the latest show.
But what was that one of those was that Caesar
(12:32):
Hey Bartsonder was on the other side twin on the screen.
It was my twin. It wasn't me. Ladies and Gemen,
speaking of bots, I am totally convinced that these reports
that Julia Roberts speaking of want to play or it's
(12:53):
going to play Harriet Tupman in a movie. It's absolute bullshit.
But I will say this, Viola Davis, the Legend, Viola
Davis the Legend has basically jumped out there and you
know said that, you know she is totally against it.
And but she also said that Hollywood does things like
the Hollywood stuff like that all the time. Okay, but
(13:15):
when is the last time Hollywood has put Now they
have done it, this is clear fact. But when is
the last time they put a white woman? Is why
does Julia Robbers to play a black woman as black
as hairy t me. I just want to know the movie.
I need to know the movie. I think what it
is like Harriet, Like, how dare you make the Russians Russian?
(13:40):
You think it was the Russians causing divisiveness in the country.
It was the Russia. We're talking about Trump's friends, the
Russians or just Russians, Okay, because if it's Trump's friends
the Russians, and it's Trump first and then he had
the Russians help him do whatever, like finish it out.
But Viola Davis has been super vocal about her experiences
(14:01):
as an African American woman in Hollywood. Like something that
she pointed out before that that I never thought about
was how she would go to a movie set or
TV set and they would use white hairstylist and they
don't know how to do black hair, so her hair,
she would complain about her hair, her wigs, her makeup
would be off, And I was like, damn, I didn't
even think of how it affected everybody. Makeup artist, stylists,
(14:23):
like none of us can really get in there without
you know, going through some stuff. Yeah. I just don't
see how that someone can fix their mouth to say
Julia Robert could play And actually I was wondering and
actually Angelina Jolie played Marry and Pearl in a Mighty
Heart in two thousand seven, which is a black woman.
Who did that? Whoe? Robert Downey played a black guy
(14:46):
in a movie. Um, I forgot to put movie though.
It was his face painting, face painting, but he pay Yeah,
I'm talking about recently. Of course she's light skinned. But
we don't have enough of this, Okay, Hollywood, they're talking
about white snow white Julia robbers in black Black. They
(15:08):
want to write history. They want children in the future
to think that, Yeah, I'm gonna tell my kids that
was like that is not that that's funny so at all. No, no, no,
no no, but but but that's what they're trying to
do to us. They're trying to rewrite our history. They're
taking our heroes. They will erase you if you allow them.
They will erase you. Speaking of I race you and
(15:30):
to your point, um Susan about another powerful Hollywood um
organization called Times Up and Moving, founded by powerful women
in Hollywood. They released a statement and support of Gabriel
Union because we all have heard by now that she's
having problems. I'm sorry, I had problems, got fired from
America's Got Talent. It all stemmed from her saying exactly
(15:51):
what you were saying about Viola Davis's statement about her
hair and the way she looked, and things that they
wanted to comments racist comments that she asked, man is
meant to tell the hierarchy about and they didn't, and
then also having a problem with Simon smoking openly on set.
So um, yeah, this this, this time's up. The labored
her difficult, very powerful in Hollywood, like that's what they
(16:14):
do any I feel like black women have a really
hard time just being vocal without being stereotyped as difficult
or having a bad attitude or whatever the cases. We
don't know Gariel Union to be like like she's not
that person. To write her off as difficult, it's just
shows like this is what we go through. It's so
it's so much more harder for for it's so much
(16:35):
more difficult for black women, and it's it's sad. Yeah,
it's sad. And I think that they need to sue
the shoot out them people because at the end of
the day, this is a human being that is not
known to be disruptive to get out of pocket even
you know what I'm saying, They have any black judges
anymore now, I don't know. There's always you know, there's
(16:56):
always one. And that's a problem as well, Like there's
other people that are well qualified exactly. So that's just
a fucking whole thing. Ladies and gentlemen. Whack one hundred
jumps all the way out there um by himself and
says that Nipsey Hustle is not a legend rappers like
(17:17):
t I Meek Male Mustard. A whole lot of people
on social media have come to the defense of the recently.
Was very uh uh inaccurate, he said it was, so
it was so ignorant. First of all, it's like the
man is dead. If he grew a million follows after
(17:38):
his death, that makes him more of a legend. Correct,
So how how do you it is? I mean it's
and then if you read the definition, which tips are
eloquently released, everything that it stated represented who Nipsey was well,
was like trying to just say you can only be
a legend if you've got this many hits, you've gone
on these tours and all that. But is a legend
(18:00):
because of things that he did outside of the music industry,
like what he was doing for the community. How he
really inspired a massive group of people. So, I don't know,
I feel like maybe back one hundred might got some
something else going on. I think it's all clickbait at
this point, use a gangster use in the streets. Are
you speaking on that? How are you even out here
(18:21):
talking about that? Why that man did speaking of a legendo?
Y'all want to share this with y'a because y'all of
my family. Uh did he sent out uh invite for
the did it fifty and I just wanted to share
and share this with y'all. Is one of my favorite
models of all time. Did the voice, so we listen

(18:43):
and I'm here to officially invite you to the didd fifty.

really happening. So you better be there because we are
celebrating my process fifty at the fucking universday. That's right now.
You know, we can't throw add party without a few
(19:05):
ground rules. So rule number one, if you're not going

not his forty eight birthday or his forty nine party.
This is my brother's fifty four. Number three, Bring your
(19:30):
highest vibration. Never rempare to celebrate with love. See you
guys in the fourty. Yes, Naomi Campbell does the voice
mail to classic Yeah, did fit is coming y'all? Uh later, John,
(19:50):
I want to share this with you'all. This is very
disturbing um for me. M. Apparently ICE arrest foreign students
in fake university sting operation and you know, people are
calling it very cruel and appalling. I mean to think
that you're gonna set up this is what happened. The
Department of Homeless Security created a university in Michigan called
(20:13):
the University of Farmington, which promised students to a pay
to stay student visa, and it was all a scam.
The sting operation has now drawn heavy criticism from people
who are already against ICE, and many critics blamed Donald Trump.
Although the program begin doing forever President Obama's term. Now
(20:38):
this is where it gets tricky, right, So this started
in Obama's term, right, Um, we've all seen it ratchet
up as far as ICE running into neighborhoods, terrorizing immigrants. Um,
and to actually create a fake university to trap immigrants,
(21:02):
I don't, I don't know. You know, they said it's starting,
They said it started in the old under the Obama
present stuff. Okay, but this is my thing. I don't
think that that is a bad way to catch a
criminal or catch someone that is here illegally. If if
I'm saying, you know, if if my job is to
(21:24):
find the person responsible or find the person that's guilty,
or find the person that's doing something that's not supposed to.
That's their job to do that. Now. I will say
that's kind of amazing to me now with all the
rhetoric that comes along with ICE right and the unfair
way that a lot of people are being treated by
(21:46):
ICE now because obviously if it started under the Obama administration,
it wasn't publicly known. It was kind of stealth and
kind of maybe putting. Maybe they have a certain thing
in Michigan is the you know, supposedly the University of Farmington,
which there's a farming team Hills in suburbia, um, Michigan
and so outside of Detroit. So I'm just trying to
figure out, like, is it is it smart? It's wrong?
(22:10):
It is it is so smart? Wrong or not? That's
the world smart. It's slit, yes, slick. It's definitely ethically wrong,
it's morally wrong. It's messed up. I wish they would
put that much energy into finding these people that snatching
black women up. Tell us come on, like you worried
about immigrants that want to go to school, so they
as a trap to they want to go to school.
(22:31):
Like if people started under this, I mean, clearly the
sex traffick image, I would have rather you said, hey,
we got a whole bunch of minor girls available for
your pleasures, and all the perverts come over. But somebody
going to school. I don't know what is going I'm saying,
you know what I'm saying, right, if that's a conversation.
(22:53):
But I'm saying that if Obama did steerhead this, if
the Obama administration, I don't Bama himself, President Obama, if
he did, is it as egregious if he did it,
or Trump's shut down on it? It's wrong on whoever
did it? Okay, So Obama would have been wrong for
(23:14):
creating this trap for illegal immigrants. For sure, it's wrong.
I mean, maybe what was the goal? The goal was, No,
it's it's cruel and appalling the way that ICE is
treating immigrants today. I don't know about this program under
the Obama administration. And I'm not gonna say that there
(23:34):
are people that rape, killing, murder that are are immigrants,
are not immigrants. And I'm saying, what if there was
something happening in Michigan. This is happening in Michigan. This
is a specific, isolated event where people could sign up
and they were trying to catch someone in specific. I
mean their job is to catch the one out of
the bunch, right, the needle in the haystack. I don't
(23:55):
see that being weird. I think if we can get
offended about the stopping for a score, like they can
stop you whenever they want, then in random traffic stops,
we should also take that same offense into how they
just play these people to come to this face, you
have an absolute point. It's the same thing. I just
saw a fer with a new daughter watch on them
sor I mean friend it was. It was kind of
(24:16):
hurt in the corner. Mine what's going on here? I
don't understand ladies and gentlemen. Kid Rock says fuck Oprah
Winfrey at his bar Honkey Talk, and although people in
the audience called him a racist, Rock said, because he
doesn't like someone doesn't mean he's a racist, and that
(24:37):
it's true that that statement is true. Just because you
don't like someone doesn't mean that you're racist. But why
don't you like them? But when you got a bor
like hockey talk, it's kind of hard to imagine that
you are not racist. It's it's a little hard to imagine.
This is a bigger question y'all, And I wanted to
use the former legend in my eyes, Kid Rock as
the example. You're are your white friends different since Trump
(25:05):
has been in office? This is a very important question
because I will lead off by saying, and I hope
all of them here this. My white friends are different
now that Trump is an office mind and there's no
cat you think they walk in with like a little
you know, like a little extra they chest like the guys.
(25:27):
Are they not like talking to you very much? Or
has the conversation changed? The support has the subcrease board
has decreased. Support from the time spent has decreased On
my side, I have lost sponsorships or not given sponsorships
from based off of my views on Donald Trump. Really, yeah,
(25:49):
that's that's what company's particularly behind saying I will have
too much attention. But why why is that? If you seriously,
if you don't think Donald Trump is a horrible person,
I don't know what to think about you or if
I want your business? Is he a horrible person or
is he really just playing a person? Horrible person? You
(26:10):
can't okay, this is one thing you cannot do kids
away from their parents. But if you're if you're a
cultural leader. If you are a leader of men, a
leader of people. You have a leader of women, leader
of people, and you literally spew the rhetoric he does
with no remorse, you cannot be a good human. He's
not he is not. I mean he he not only
(26:32):
does it, he doubled downs on it. Melania blink twice.
If you need help, she got you. But like a
Trump supporter. But this is my point about kid Rock.
Kid Rock, he comes from the hip hop culture. He
was birthed of the hip hop culture. But don't they
(26:54):
don't They always use us for something or you know,
use us until they don't need us anything. But he
was toldly in like I remember him being in. Not
he was in because it was the boy got in,
his boy got in and yeah, and now he doesn't
have anything. I always had the sweeth Holme Alabama song too.
That's one of the best biggest records of all time,
getting paid forever of all that song. But it's just,
(27:16):
I mean, it's just I don't know if I would
go all the way with a little Trump boy, Trump said,
footing Alabaila boy to go Christion point, I wouldn't go
all the way out there and say he was a
racist unless he said something racist, and you don't have
to like he says. Also, he didn't like Joey Behar
wasn't well. He said that when he was I guess
(27:36):
either asked to come on Oprah show that they asked
him to write down three or four things that he
likes or loves about Oprah. And I don't know. I
don't know if that's true what I'm saying right, So, um,
I don't know, but just not liking somebody of the
opposite race doesn't really make you a racist. Facts. And
(27:58):
now we're from our sponsors and now time for baller
man hey ba alert to him. So I've been talking
to this guy for a few months and he recently
got out of a relationship before we started talking. But
his ex has several diagnosed mental illnesses several She has
(28:20):
threatened suicide several times, and she can't get over the
fact that things will not work out between them. He
has helped her seek out medical attention and counseling, but
nothing is helping, and he doesn't want to abandon her
and it's afraid she's going to kill herself. But it
is deeply affecting us. Not only is it is it
(28:42):
affecting our relationship but also himself. He has been depressed
and I am not sure what to do. I love
this guy and we both see a future with each other,
but his ex and her mental issues are really becoming
an issue balla lert Crew. What should I do? That's
kind of tell like, that's the mental health is real,
(29:03):
and you don't want to assume that maybe she's doing
that to stay around, because what if she's not? She's
she really may be that it's important to get to
know people. I think in the beginning, because you end
up with a Porsche Williams situation Kenya in her ex situation,
hold on speaking to mental health. Did y'all see that?
Do you see the way that they are is it
(29:25):
the edit the way that they're making crazy? Okay, first
of all, that Kenya has always come off what I'm
the fact that she's sitting there with a dude that
does not ignoring her, blatantly ignoring question. He like, totally
(29:47):
ignoring her, just talking to the baby. It's crazy, right,
I Mean, if you saw like how they portrayed her
in the past seasons, she did I'm off as somebody
who has really wanted to be with someone. So now
that she's married and has a child, it's almost like, look,
I'm gonna take as much as I can take because
(30:09):
this is what I wanted. I wanted a man and
I wanted a baby. You know that that could cause
some real damage to the child world, But that's the
same apportion her her fiance situation. She really wanted this family,
and it's just like it's important, I think, to like
really get to know you know who you having kids with,
(30:29):
you know, because it's just like the monis and little
fids like she is, she's really well at all. And
back to your your your person that we're talking about
that you know, you you have to be really mindful
of the mental health thing. And I think there's some
curable things that you know, some balances, some are manageable. Great,
(30:51):
great choice of words, but then there are others there's
no help for. And I hate to say that, and
I'm really I have to be super mindful because I
know a lot of people that have mental issues and
you try to help them and try to direct them
and try to even suggest them getting help, and they
don't want it. And so it's like, what do you
(31:11):
do at that point, So what should she do. I
feel like, just because you break up with someone or
you're no longer in an intimate relationship with them, it
doesn't mean that you don't care about them. So of course,
like he probably still feels like I was with this
woman at once in my life. Let me let me
help her. Maybe not responsible, but let me help her.
So abandoning her quote unquote or walking away would probably
(31:33):
really hurt him, But I don't know what that means
for his new relationship. I say responsible in the sense of, like,
if she hurts herself, maybe he will feel guilty about
you know, not That's why that's the purpose of why
she was. She's trying to you know. I think he's
a good person for wanting to make sure that he
does as much as he can, But I think he
also needs to reevaluate the situation to see is this
(31:54):
all I can do? Because if this is all I
can offer and she's not getting better, then I do
have to remove myself help her find the appropriate doctor
or the appropriate situation. But he's getting depressed too, Yeah,
it's it's depressing helping someone a lot. Yeah, to help
him get over that, get over her. I feel guilty
(32:16):
about leaving her. Yeah. Yeah, he definitely obviously feels the
weight of them and he doesn't want her to hurt himself. Yeah,
I said, you know, how long have they? Then? I
think there's a time limit. How old? How long? Was
who the news? She has threatened to commit suicide several times,
(32:36):
and he's helped her seacout, medical attention and counseling, but
nothing is helping, and he doesn't want to abandon her.
See that right there? I think for me, in my opinion,
that's he's been above beyond a past. Definitely. Do you
think she's telling him I will commit suicide if you
don't X, Y and Z. Yeah, she's very welcome, been
(32:57):
there he said several times. Yes, that's committed. But my guy,
like that's committable, Like you can't be responsible for someone's
when she's being diagnosed, and and I and anyone out
there in ball the nation listening, it's worth to try
and help, clearly, but if you go months years, you
know what I'm saying, with this effort and they're still
(33:18):
doing that kind of stuff, like what can you possibly do?
And now he's saying he's getting depressed you're falling into
the rabbit hole. You're falling into this state of like
you know what I'm saying, where you might not be
cool and okay. And I think that's when you have
to be selfish in the relationship. You definitely want to
help your mate. But when you're well being becomes you
know what I'm saying, and you might not be okay.
(33:40):
It's spreads spreading you because you come first, but she's
spreading to him, and he could be spreading to whomever
else and his family. So he needs to get help
to move on from the situation. I think mental health
is a real thing, balling nation, and y'all have to
be mindful but also responsible and more importantly aware that
(34:02):
you know what I'm saying, of what the surroundings too,
because when you get locked into this, I mean, you
know how much toxicity brings. It brings other negative things
and people. When your bodily functions starts to be all
out of whack, it's not good skin, hair, everything. Now
it's time for a word for my sponsors, and now's
(34:24):
time for comment creeping all right, So this comment actually
spoke to my heart because I do this all the time.
I literally do this all the time. So Van Lathan,
hey man, he said, read sweet if you're black, and
watch lips to see which non black sing the IN
word when you're in a club or concert, like if
(34:48):
this a ridiculously fun game. I swear I do it
all the time. I'm at I'm at the club, I'm
at Sunday Branch of Traffic, I'm at a concert. I
will watch all the non blacks. And I don't do
exactly what he does, but he said, this is my life.
I make bets with myself on who will do it.
When someone skips the word, I give myself forty acres
(35:10):
when they say it, I give myself a mule. Right now.
I love that. Right now I have eighty acres and
one mule. Let's see how things go. And our favorite girl,
bad Girl, read Rihanna. She said, I feel attacked, and
Van responded, of course, we love you. I always feel
attacked when I see that happening. And it's certain promoters
you know out here in Atlanta that always have a
(35:32):
big group of others, you know, with them, And when
I'm around, I will watch the others and they're always
singing the N word. And I have actually addressed it
with one of the promoters, and he told me, Sue, chill,
it's okay, relax, they're cool, they don't mean no harm.
I've offended, now, this one ain't. This is his friend.
(35:54):
This is his friend that that I approached. I mean,
I I just I was highly offended. And I went
to you to tell you, hey, can you tell this
not black girl to stop saying that in word because
I'm gonna throw something at her if she says it again.
And then you tell me to chill. Black man told
me to chillip clip like, come on, sir, you know what.
(36:14):
I'm glad you brought that up. It's a problem. I'm
glad you brought that up because this is a bigger
topic and I think we should address it right now. Yes, please.
We always talking about as a people, as a coach,
as a race, We're always talking about the things that
other people do to offend us. But we are partly
(36:36):
responsible for the reason they say the things they say.
In this particular case, Susan is making a valid and
great point. She's talking to a promoter. Mind you never
mind you promoters right, it's really a few of them. Okay,
So there's a white girl or other in the section,
(36:57):
they're saying a lyric in a song that a black
man put in position put into song. So this is
what I think is the ultimate problem, and this is
where we as a society. If that bothers us that much,
why don't we put in the songs? Why we got
(37:18):
to censor ourselves for these folks? Why they can't respect that?
That's not your word to say. We we always are
the ones that are modifying this, And do we we
always censor ourselves for them? Is it censoring yourself? We censor,
we we fold, we mold, we we change, We always
do stuff to make them comfortable. Hey, stop stop saying
(37:39):
the N word. It's not for you to say stop
by their own ship. So use the word nigger as
much as you want, I'm saying us. I mean, yeah, yeah,
express yourself, yes, expressional people. You don't say the word
(38:00):
as much as I used to older, as I got in,
I don't say it as much as I I'm glad
you said that different words now because I disagree. I
think for us, the reason we do things it's psychological
as well, like we from past history, from how we
were treated, and so for us to double down on
(38:22):
the negative meaning of something that does hurt us. It
really does hurt us. If we continue to perpetuate in
the older I get to feraris point the more I
don't even want to be on the same never mind
you it slips, I say it. You know what I'm saying,
even you know, like cursing, Like I don't want to
curse all the time, but sometimes mother, you know, and
it so so I don't know what I want to
(38:43):
I want to be more responsible in my offering as
a mature adult, trying to build a legacy for my family,
and not the saying anything you want to say. It's
not your right, it is totally your right. But I'm saying,
if we are the gatekeepers of our culture, of our offerings,
why not I will say that why? I mean, people
(39:09):
say for us, A lot of people aren't that mature.
And you know, you know, it's a young game in
the music industry, like a lot of black people, you know,
come up young and they want to express yourself in
But we talked about pills and getting high. I mean,
but we are we are the we're probably probably the
worst to ourselves. Of course that's been that way. But
(39:31):
you know what that's gonna keep me in that way
his moneys in the folds. It can't. Okay, So you're
saying if you and no one wrapped about I'm sorry
if no one said lean pills. We uh talked about
massagey when it comes to women, or the massagies when
it comes to women, talking about sex taking whatever whatever
(39:52):
it is you think that sales, right, But this is
my thing. We're so creative, we could come up with
whatever we could. But but that's not It's just like
you blue Face arguing with the Meek Mills artists about
having a chain. We can't take him serious. He has
a Benjamin first, but that's a part of what's selling.
(40:14):
But if we created, do you not hear what I'm saying? Okay,
tell me. That's like in the radio world, it's not
very easy getting your song out there, right. Isn't there
someone who chooses, Okay, this song is gonna work. This
is gonna because if that was the case, conscious rappers
will be But I'm saying, I'm saying, before it even
(40:36):
gets to that, there's somebody that approved certain songs and says, Okay,
this is what we're gonna put out and typically it's
gonna be the others that are in the said, does
not do that anymore. Radio plays the worst ship on
the planet. That's what I'm saying. But to her point though,
she's asking, like, doesn't it go through a gate keeper? No,
(40:56):
it goes to him and it goes on there, or
it goes to the music director. What's am I right? Run? Yeah.
The thing that we do though, we try to make
sure we gauge what's trending, so research, you know, though
streaming really but look what you're talking about. It's selling,
(41:19):
That's what I'm saying. The clubs, it's streaming high. You
need at it. But that's what I'm saying. Radio works
through research. Their research was hot, and then they play it. Man, y'all,
I can't wait for I can't wait for y'all to
get my get to this level of life. No, I agree, No,
I really can't because I'm gonna tell you, y'all really
(41:40):
have the power. And the problem is that we become
part of the problem when we continue to double down.
Our music is so fucking negative. Like even if you
if you went back to n w A, that's a
great example in w A said the police. I mean.
(42:03):
But they also said, you know, brother got it bad
because Bryant like coming from underground, young brother got back like.
They said things that were super conscious in their prospective hoods.
They glorified their neighborhoods. But even thinking back then, they
talk about gang ship. This is a gang and you
know what I'm saying, this is the game the right, left, right,
(42:27):
they say bloods of crips. Okay, but this is my point,
this is Snoop is a genius. I love him. I'm
thankful for his contribution. I was a part of all
of that. I'm saying as a mature and thoughtful adult
looking at it at the landscape, you're a two year old.
You do you want her to really do what these
(42:48):
girls are doing. I don't, but I'm aware that it's
possibly she's going to be influenced. I'm want to make
sure I'm there as much as possible. The music at
would you not try to implement things that are not
a little bit more? I don't know. The thing is
I mean control his show, you know, but the overall
(43:10):
say so is the program director and they are the
ones who put the music on. So it's like, even
if Rory don't want to play certain music. If it's
on the list, it's getting played. Okay, great, So y'are
just gonna continue with the strip of culture and pill
popping and they are. I agree with you. I don't
really curse that much. I don't any that's just but
(43:31):
and I agree with you. But as long as money
is in the fold, I feel like it's still gonna
keep happening. We got changing narrative, bro. I'm just saying,
like you go back to they all had a real
message and we're screaming for help and trying to better
the situation. This generation just wants to get up and
get high or fuck and count money. That is not
(43:51):
real life. That is not real life, and it's disgusting.
And then we wonder why the white girls, who like
the black boys or the Persians or whatever else is
in this who he's talking about the other they taking,
I mean, they they adopting culture and and saying nickel,
they only doing what they see two, they're only doing
(44:12):
what they see us do. More importantly, it's a young
man's game. It's a young person's game, and you know
it's easy to influence the young people. So of course
they're gonna like that. And there's the they're the ones that's,
you know, creating the research in which what we play.
All right, we're gonna agree to disagree right now and
table this conversation and now time fucking fucious. Say everyone
(44:40):
knows that my wife is the body's light in my life.
Um And she posted this by an unknown on her
Instagram account. Yeah you que But do you like nature stars,
holistic health, evolution, universe peace, compassion in raising consciousness, falling nation?
(45:02):
This thoughts ship has to come doing it. I'm gonna
need you to go out there and read a book
and try to find the alternative. We love him, God, blesh.
The dream was real. It's the bottom of that show.
How hard mind you? We don't hit Nick, you know
what I'm talking about. We got father people. They heard
you in Florida, Roery, they heard you in cal oh Man.

Were y'all heard these streets protecting you? I was. I
was in the streets protecting myself. Why you gotta just
(00:34):
start off wrong? I was saying, protecting yourselves as I
was protecting my energy, right, and I was protecting my income.
You know what I'm saying. Yeah, honey, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sunday brunch was amazing. We popped a lot of bottles,
and you know, we hadn't released the news about our
(00:55):
heart partnership. Yes, so I was secretly celebrating and nobody
knew why, and I couldn't. I was fried on Sunday
at brunch, y'all, So yes, yes, I was fried, y'all.
Come see me Sunday brunch at Traffic Rory. It was good,
regular weekend, just in the clubs doing a thing. I
saw she could feed her, so that's dope. She's so.
(01:18):
I was trying to tell the wife, I think she's
a little overweight. You can't really tell. Wait, wait, she's heavy.
My two year old boy life. He is the perfect size. Hey, yeah,
she's growing. She supposed that she's eating. She's I'm saying
(01:40):
she's a little heavier than the normal two year old.
The doctor told us that really she don't look fat.
I know, That's what I'm trying to say. Are you
trying to pick up and be like, oh lord, it's
the doctor Caucasian? Yes, all right, sus and say it's
probably like a different weight standard know what I mean?
(02:02):
Her favorite thing is right, I don't know. You know,
our folks like we want to see baby stick. You know,
we consider that healthy. I love my baby. I love
my baby so usually others, you know, she gets out
of real fast. That's what I'm trying to think. But
go ahead. So how was your weekend? Did y'all eat all? Y'all?
(02:23):
Y'all wanted to tad left was? I didn't have any
over on Sunday? You supposed to throw the left was
out by Sunday, right, Yeah, Sunday Sunday sun Sunday Sunday
game home show had me still got pies, left cakes.
You know, No, I didn't touch the leftovers. I was
(02:45):
over after the day after Thanks. I ate too many
cakes that I am having issue. I don't know what
happened to me. My foot swoll up I had but
I had a home. But I literally had two much sweets.
I had an incredible day yesterday y'all went up to
um Tennessee with some friends of mine and we had
a whole little coom bay ya moment and it was
(03:06):
so funny. All. So you know, obviously, um, um, if
you're following on Instagram, I'm talking about the Uncle Nars distiller.
But we went to the Jack Daniels grave, right, and
we start our tour at the Jack Dangels Grave because
Jack Daniels a significant peace to the Uncle Niar's story. Um.
And we were standing there and Lula Chris was literally
like getting these weird vibes right now, mind you're weird dog,
(03:31):
Watch this dog. I'm I'm gonna all the way blow
your mind. Pause. So we basically starting the Jack Daniels
Cemetery because we talked about Jack and you know his
affiliates wont In. And across the way is the Black
Cemetery because back in the day you had the White
Cemetery the Black Cemetery. So Chris is like, come on,
and so I'm walking when I was like you good,
He's like, dog, it's like I had this energy and
(03:53):
I don't know what the energy is. I'm like, well,
you're good. You want to go to this other side?
You want to because you know and Doxy didn't get
off the truck. She just don't do cemetary, you know
what I'm saying. So a long story show, and he's like,
I hope my energy changes by time we get over
to the Uncle Nards from moral side, because that was
just heavy. Maybe it's just death, right, Okay, cool. We
get over to the other side. He's like breathe, like
(04:17):
like he could breathe. And I'm like, you're straight, like
I'm literally over here, like and he starts welling up
like yo, Kenny, like I feel calm now, I feel easy.
I feel just that. In the third so phone came up.
We had the whole conversation and afterwards he was still
looking like shook and so Far I was like, it's wrong.
He's like, far, I just wants you to know, like
over there, I was feeling crazy. He said. By the
(04:38):
time I got over here, I felt balanced. And she's
like I know why, And I'm like, like, I just
got goose bump thinking, I'm like why I found Like
why I she said, because the slave owner, Uncle Nears,
is reportedly across the way from Jack, like right behind
we were standing. That was so gray because he was dead.
(05:01):
Asked about to like welling up in his eyes, the
whole thing. That's a little aggressive. We stage when we
got man, we got We don't play around stuff like that.
But but I'm just saying that's the power of energy,
the power of energy and spiritual presence is is real.
That was the highlight of my weekend outside of seeing
(05:22):
my family. And now it's time for in case you
missed it, ladies and gentlemen, one time for Queen and Slim.
I just want to say, if you did not see
Queen and Slim, Um, it's a very necessary movie. Take
your kids too. If you have teenage kids, have to
take them to see Queen and Slim. And it's little
(05:44):
things that I want to watch it again because I
know I missed a couple of things here, and then
you know sometimes when you see yeah, you don't get
it all the way. Yeah, you'll catch something, but it's
definitely a necessary movie to watch. You you have not seen,
do I need you don't need. I just want a
big shout to Lena. It's a really good movie. Waist
um and Malina, I was right, my salcus, salcus. If
(06:10):
I said that, right, Molina, Lena, Congratulationship, you have a
hit on your hands. But I want to ask the question.
This was a conversation on Loser's Jet yesterday. Is it
a classic? Now? When we say classic, we have some
black classics, right. We have Boards in the Hood, Friday
Love Jones, we have Friday, we have you know, we
(06:32):
have a number. So we have a number of a
number of amazing hits. The majority of them came out
of the nineties and early two thousands. I'm mnna say this,
but yeah, but I'm just I want to know, Um, Rory,
did you see it? I haven't seen it yet. The
only one in comment at this point, do you borderline?
I gotta see it again. I want to see it again. No,
(06:52):
if it's a classic, you know you have I like
my genre, movies are different. I like watch a superhero movie.
So I'm not I'm not a really big crip. But
you know, a black classic when you see one, I
think it will be considered a classic because it's really good.
I agree with you and Sue to a certain point.
But after having a conversation yesterday, something was made aware
(07:13):
to me that, you know, what can you really with
so much content today, so many movies, television things available
to watch. I didn't get classic day one because I
come from those days of those classics, right. But at
the same time, I feel like it's so necessary, definitely
(07:34):
that it might become a class correct. So then let's
let's define a classic is a classic something that people
later on, decades down the line, people are like, hey,
you have to watch this movie. Classic. I think a
classic is um would be to like if you could
play it over and over and over again. Listen. I
agree with Sue and I agree with you at the
(07:54):
end of the day, like you have to be able
to go, you know, in the future, go back like
dog you ain't like right now to the day, I
still tell people you ain't seeing purple right, you gotta
see purple right nights. Yeah, people, so we're talking classics,
but I feel it has classic potential. To your point,
there is I feel like, you know, in some years
(08:16):
from now. But the one thing I do think there
were two parts in the movie. I'm not gonna spoil
it for you, or but there was one part in
there that I was like, damn, that was a little
too much for me with the little boy. No, no,
no, no no, no, you gotta watch the movie. But it
was a particular I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna
(08:37):
say the story at all. I'm just gonna say it
was a boy and a young boy in the movie
and then left so crazy. You're like, what, it's a
it's a lot of I want to go back to
your point and watch it because there maybe something else.
That's why I want to watch it again, because I'm
over here, like the point now what you're telling me,
and I can't. I can't speak on it. We don't
want to spoil because I definitely I guarantee you guys
(08:59):
put something in the ball A group chat about it though,
yeah you know. And I want to say this though
the support our black films, support those actors, and I'll
say this. It started off you're gonna be it started
off like wait, I wasn't ready. This is too quick.
I like movies like that. Imagine dating someone you're all
(09:21):
seen the commercials. Imagine dating someone in the first date.
The fourth thing that happens is you get pulled over
by the police and end up shooting the police. Just imagining.
That's how you get to know somebody that makes you
want to log in. Girl, let me tell you what
he did, how he protected me. You have to see
(09:44):
the movie. She's a neat Ladies and Gentlemen. Little More
talks about her addiction to opioids and shares it with her.
I g follows. I applaud her. Can we give it
up to her one time? I don't think people really
understand how big this opioid problem. It's very big, you know.
And I was actually having a conversation with Portrait Williams
and she was talking about she was on perks because
(10:05):
she heard her foot and I was like, She's like, yeah,
I got she was like on them. No know what
I'm saying. She was on them prescribed for the pain.
But I'm like, yo, she was telling me how they
worked like she was feeling. I was like, yo, just
be careful, please for me, drink a lot of water.
Do not get hooked on him, because I don't get
how the people that get hooked on the perch Yeah, easy,
(10:26):
like pain like my back. All right, we'll give you
some perks. I had got all four my wisdom teeth
took it at the same time. They definitely gave me
some purse. Yeah, and I was jolly happy, going crazy.
I couldn't do it. It It made me nauseous. It doesn't
it makes me sick. Yeah, I couldn't do it. When
I got my bosom teeth pulled, I took bills for
one day. I felt amazing. See, I don't want to
(10:47):
hear that. Ferrari Simmons. I don't take anymore. I don't
want you to feel amazing. That's the problem. Okay, children
out there, say no the opioids. Ladies and gentlemen. Do
you ever get pornographic messages on Instagram like don't look
at my story if you don't want to masturbate? Well,
I g have seen a spike in these fake accounts,
(11:08):
commonly known as porn box. These fake accounts usually possess
a name, name number. You know, you see those ones
we don't look how is this happening? Yeah? And then
you see the attractive person on the Ya minory. Then
you go to the page. I don't do that. That's
what I heard. Most commonly, hard Flame or Peach emojis,
what they link at random hours of the day or night.
(11:29):
It all boils down to a business model known as
affiliate marketing, which basically rewards you for every click and
you get to bring in traffic to that secondary website.
I just think that I'm tired of the porn box.
I'll be seeing them a little too much. I don't
know if it's because when I'm on the road, I
go to lesbian point videos that No, I don't know
(11:51):
how tet you Rios, I know you have experienced on
this subject. Rials, can you share with us? Why is
it some algorithm because you go to porn site that
it comes reels? How is this happening? I have no clue.
(12:12):
I'm unaware about that. Ball Nation needs perspective. You, I
know you and Caesar. I know you know Caesar was
in a Puerto Rico by himself. But then I saw
some videos of you at the bar with the latest show.
But what was that one of those was that Caesar
(12:32):
Hey Bartsonder was on the other side twin on the screen.
It was my twin. It wasn't me. Ladies and Gemen,
speaking of bots, I am totally convinced that these reports
that Julia Roberts speaking of want to play or it's
(12:53):
going to play Harriet Tupman in a movie. It's absolute bullshit.
But I will say this, Viola Davis, the Legend, Viola
Davis the Legend has basically jumped out there and you
know said that, you know she is totally against it.
And but she also said that Hollywood does things like
the Hollywood stuff like that all the time. Okay, but
(13:15):
when is the last time Hollywood has put Now they
have done it, this is clear fact. But when is
the last time they put a white woman? Is why
does Julia Robbers to play a black woman as black
as hairy t me. I just want to know the movie.
I need to know the movie. I think what it
is like Harriet, Like, how dare you make the Russians Russian?
(13:40):
You think it was the Russians causing divisiveness in the country.
It was the Russia. We're talking about Trump's friends, the
Russians or just Russians, Okay, because if it's Trump's friends
the Russians, and it's Trump first and then he had
the Russians help him do whatever, like finish it out.
But Viola Davis has been super vocal about her experiences
(14:01):
as an African American woman in Hollywood. Like something that
she pointed out before that that I never thought about
was how she would go to a movie set or
TV set and they would use white hairstylist and they
don't know how to do black hair, so her hair,
she would complain about her hair, her wigs, her makeup
would be off, And I was like, damn, I didn't
even think of how it affected everybody. Makeup artist, stylists,
(14:23):
like none of us can really get in there without
you know, going through some stuff. Yeah. I just don't
see how that someone can fix their mouth to say
Julia Robert could play And actually I was wondering and
actually Angelina Jolie played Marry and Pearl in a Mighty
Heart in two thousand seven, which is a black woman.
Who did that? Whoe? Robert Downey played a black guy
(14:46):
in a movie. Um, I forgot to put movie though.
It was his face painting, face painting, but he pay Yeah,
I'm talking about recently. Of course she's light skinned. But
we don't have enough of this, Okay, Hollywood, they're talking
about white snow white Julia robbers in black Black. They
(15:08):
want to write history. They want children in the future
to think that, Yeah, I'm gonna tell my kids that
was like that is not that that's funny so at all. No, no, no,
no no, but but but that's what they're trying to
do to us. They're trying to rewrite our history. They're
taking our heroes. They will erase you if you allow them.
They will erase you. Speaking of I race you and
(15:30):
to your point, um Susan about another powerful Hollywood um
organization called Times Up and Moving, founded by powerful women
in Hollywood. They released a statement and support of Gabriel
Union because we all have heard by now that she's
having problems. I'm sorry, I had problems, got fired from
America's Got Talent. It all stemmed from her saying exactly
(15:51):
what you were saying about Viola Davis's statement about her
hair and the way she looked, and things that they
wanted to comments racist comments that she asked, man is
meant to tell the hierarchy about and they didn't, and
then also having a problem with Simon smoking openly on set.
So um, yeah, this this, this time's up. The labored
her difficult, very powerful in Hollywood, like that's what they
(16:14):
do any I feel like black women have a really
hard time just being vocal without being stereotyped as difficult
or having a bad attitude or whatever the cases. We
don't know Gariel Union to be like like she's not
that person. To write her off as difficult, it's just
shows like this is what we go through. It's so
it's so much more harder for for it's so much
(16:35):
more difficult for black women, and it's it's sad. Yeah,
it's sad. And I think that they need to sue
the shoot out them people because at the end of
the day, this is a human being that is not
known to be disruptive to get out of pocket even
you know what I'm saying, They have any black judges
anymore now, I don't know. There's always you know, there's
(16:56):
always one. And that's a problem as well, Like there's
other people that are well qualified exactly. So that's just
a fucking whole thing. Ladies and gentlemen. Whack one hundred
jumps all the way out there um by himself and
says that Nipsey Hustle is not a legend rappers like
(17:17):
t I Meek Male Mustard. A whole lot of people
on social media have come to the defense of the recently.
Was very uh uh inaccurate, he said it was, so
it was so ignorant. First of all, it's like the
man is dead. If he grew a million follows after
(17:38):
his death, that makes him more of a legend. Correct,
So how how do you it is? I mean it's
and then if you read the definition, which tips are
eloquently released, everything that it stated represented who Nipsey was well,
was like trying to just say you can only be
a legend if you've got this many hits, you've gone
on these tours and all that. But is a legend
(18:00):
because of things that he did outside of the music industry,
like what he was doing for the community. How he
really inspired a massive group of people. So, I don't know,
I feel like maybe back one hundred might got some
something else going on. I think it's all clickbait at
this point, use a gangster use in the streets. Are
you speaking on that? How are you even out here
(18:21):
talking about that? Why that man did speaking of a legendo?
Y'all want to share this with y'a because y'all of
my family. Uh did he sent out uh invite for
the did it fifty and I just wanted to share
and share this with y'all. Is one of my favorite
models of all time. Did the voice, so we listen
to this Here Ollo his name We Campbell perfect sister,
(18:43):
and I'm here to officially invite you to the didd fifty.

celebrating my process fifty at the fucking universday. That's right now.
You know, we can't throw add party without a few
(19:05):
ground rules. So rule number one, if you're not going

not his forty eight birthday or his forty nine party.
This is my brother's fifty four. Number three, Bring your
(19:30):
highest vibration. Never rempare to celebrate with love. See you
guys in the fourty. Yes, Naomi Campbell does the voice
mail to classic Yeah, did fit is coming y'all? Uh later, John,
(19:50):
I want to share this with you'all. This is very
disturbing um for me. M. Apparently ICE arrest foreign students
in fake university sting operation and you know, people are
calling it very cruel and appalling. I mean to think
that you're gonna set up this is what happened. The
Department of Homeless Security created a university in Michigan called
(20:13):
the University of Farmington, which promised students to a pay
to stay student visa, and it was all a scam.
The sting operation has now drawn heavy criticism from people
who are already against ICE, and many critics blamed Donald Trump.
Although the program begin doing forever President Obama's term. Now
(20:38):
this is where it gets tricky, right, So this started
in Obama's term, right, Um, we've all seen it ratchet
up as far as ICE running into neighborhoods, terrorizing immigrants. Um,
and to actually create a fake university to trap immigrants,
(21:02):
I don't, I don't know. You know, they said it's starting,
They said it started in the old under the Obama
present stuff. Okay, but this is my thing. I don't
think that that is a bad way to catch a
criminal or catch someone that is here illegally. If if
I'm saying, you know, if if my job is to
(21:24):
find the person responsible or find the person that's guilty,
or find the person that's doing something that's not supposed to.
That's their job to do that. Now. I will say
that's kind of amazing to me now with all the
rhetoric that comes along with ICE right and the unfair
way that a lot of people are being treated by
(21:46):
ICE now because obviously if it started under the Obama administration,
it wasn't publicly known. It was kind of stealth and
kind of maybe putting. Maybe they have a certain thing
in Michigan is the you know, supposedly the University of Farmington,
which there's a farming team Hills in suburbia, um, Michigan
and so outside of Detroit. So I'm just trying to
figure out, like, is it is it smart? It's wrong?
(22:10):
It is it is so smart? Wrong or not? That's
the world smart. It's slit, yes, slick. It's definitely ethically wrong,
it's morally wrong. It's messed up. I wish they would
put that much energy into finding these people that snatching
black women up. Tell us come on, like you worried
about immigrants that want to go to school, so they
as a trap to they want to go to school.
(22:31):
Like if people started under this, I mean, clearly the
sex traffick image, I would have rather you said, hey,
we got a whole bunch of minor girls available for
your pleasures, and all the perverts come over. But somebody
going to school. I don't know what is going I'm saying,
you know what I'm saying, right, if that's a conversation.
(22:53):
But I'm saying that if Obama did steerhead this, if
the Obama administration, I don't Bama himself, President Obama, if
he did, is it as egregious if he did it,
or Trump's shut down on it? It's wrong on whoever
did it? Okay, So Obama would have been wrong for
(23:14):
creating this trap for illegal immigrants. For sure, it's wrong.
I mean, maybe what was the goal? The goal was, No,
it's it's cruel and appalling the way that ICE is
treating immigrants today. I don't know about this program under
the Obama administration. And I'm not gonna say that there
(23:34):
are people that rape, killing, murder that are are immigrants,
are not immigrants. And I'm saying, what if there was
something happening in Michigan. This is happening in Michigan. This
is a specific, isolated event where people could sign up
and they were trying to catch someone in specific. I
mean their job is to catch the one out of
the bunch, right, the needle in the haystack. I don't
(23:55):
see that being weird. I think if we can get
offended about the stopping for a score, like they can
stop you whenever they want, then in random traffic stops,
we should also take that same offense into how they
just play these people to come to this face, you
have an absolute point. It's the same thing. I just
saw a fer with a new daughter watch on them
sor I mean friend it was. It was kind of
(24:16):
hurt in the corner. Mine what's going on here? I
don't understand ladies and gentlemen. Kid Rock says fuck Oprah
Winfrey at his bar Honkey Talk, and although people in
the audience called him a racist, Rock said, because he
doesn't like someone doesn't mean he's a racist, and that
(24:37):
it's true that that statement is true. Just because you
don't like someone doesn't mean that you're racist. But why
don't you like them? But when you got a bor
like hockey talk, it's kind of hard to imagine that
you are not racist. It's it's a little hard to imagine.
This is a bigger question y'all, And I wanted to
use the former legend in my eyes, Kid Rock as
the example. You're are your white friends different since Trump
(25:05):
has been in office? This is a very important question
because I will lead off by saying, and I hope
all of them here this. My white friends are different
now that Trump is an office mind and there's no
cat you think they walk in with like a little
you know, like a little extra they chest like the guys.
(25:27):
Are they not like talking to you very much? Or
has the conversation changed? The support has the subcrease board
has decreased. Support from the time spent has decreased On
my side, I have lost sponsorships or not given sponsorships
from based off of my views on Donald Trump. Really, yeah,
(25:49):
that's that's what company's particularly behind saying I will have
too much attention. But why why is that? If you seriously,
if you don't think Donald Trump is a horrible person,
I don't know what to think about you or if
I want your business? Is he a horrible person or
is he really just playing a person? Horrible person? You
(26:10):
can't okay, this is one thing you cannot do kids
away from their parents. But if you're if you're a
cultural leader. If you are a leader of men, a
leader of people. You have a leader of women, leader
of people, and you literally spew the rhetoric he does
with no remorse, you cannot be a good human. He's
not he is not. I mean he he not only
(26:32):
does it, he doubled downs on it. Melania blink twice.
If you need help, she got you. But like a
Trump supporter. But this is my point about kid Rock.
Kid Rock, he comes from the hip hop culture. He
was birthed of the hip hop culture. But don't they
(26:54):
don't They always use us for something or you know,
use us until they don't need us anything. But he
was toldly in like I remember him being in. Not
he was in because it was the boy got in,
his boy got in and yeah, and now he doesn't
have anything. I always had the sweeth Holme Alabama song too.
That's one of the best biggest records of all time,
getting paid forever of all that song. But it's just,
(27:16):
I mean, it's just I don't know if I would
go all the way with a little Trump boy, Trump said,
footing Alabaila boy to go Christion point, I wouldn't go
all the way out there and say he was a
racist unless he said something racist, and you don't have
to like he says. Also, he didn't like Joey Behar
wasn't well. He said that when he was I guess
(27:36):
either asked to come on Oprah show that they asked
him to write down three or four things that he
likes or loves about Oprah. And I don't know. I
don't know if that's true what I'm saying right, So, um,
I don't know, but just not liking somebody of the
opposite race doesn't really make you a racist. Facts. And
(27:58):
now we're from our sponsors and now time for baller
man hey ba alert to him. So I've been talking
to this guy for a few months and he recently
got out of a relationship before we started talking. But
his ex has several diagnosed mental illnesses several She has
(28:20):
threatened suicide several times, and she can't get over the
fact that things will not work out between them. He
has helped her seek out medical attention and counseling, but
nothing is helping, and he doesn't want to abandon her
and it's afraid she's going to kill herself. But it
is deeply affecting us. Not only is it is it
(28:42):
affecting our relationship but also himself. He has been depressed
and I am not sure what to do. I love
this guy and we both see a future with each other,
but his ex and her mental issues are really becoming
an issue balla lert Crew. What should I do? That's
kind of tell like, that's the mental health is real,
(29:03):
and you don't want to assume that maybe she's doing
that to stay around, because what if she's not? She's
she really may be that it's important to get to
know people. I think in the beginning, because you end
up with a Porsche Williams situation Kenya in her ex situation,
hold on speaking to mental health. Did y'all see that?
Do you see the way that they are is it
(29:25):
the edit the way that they're making crazy? Okay, first
of all, that Kenya has always come off what I'm
the fact that she's sitting there with a dude that
does not ignoring her, blatantly ignoring question. He like, totally
(29:47):
ignoring her, just talking to the baby. It's crazy, right,
I Mean, if you saw like how they portrayed her
in the past seasons, she did I'm off as somebody
who has really wanted to be with someone. So now
that she's married and has a child, it's almost like, look,
I'm gonna take as much as I can take because
(30:09):
this is what I wanted. I wanted a man and
I wanted a baby. You know that that could cause
some real damage to the child world, But that's the
same apportion her her fiance situation. She really wanted this family,
and it's just like it's important, I think, to like
really get to know you know who you having kids with,
(30:29):
you know, because it's just like the monis and little
fids like she is, she's really well at all. And
back to your your your person that we're talking about
that you know, you you have to be really mindful
of the mental health thing. And I think there's some
curable things that you know, some balances, some are manageable. Great,
(30:51):
great choice of words, but then there are others there's
no help for. And I hate to say that, and
I'm really I have to be super mindful because I
know a lot of people that have mental issues and
you try to help them and try to direct them
and try to even suggest them getting help, and they
don't want it. And so it's like, what do you
(31:11):
do at that point, So what should she do. I
feel like, just because you break up with someone or
you're no longer in an intimate relationship with them, it
doesn't mean that you don't care about them. So of course,
like he probably still feels like I was with this
woman at once in my life. Let me let me
help her. Maybe not responsible, but let me help her.
So abandoning her quote unquote or walking away would probably
(31:33):
really hurt him, But I don't know what that means
for his new relationship. I say responsible in the sense of, like,
if she hurts herself, maybe he will feel guilty about
you know, not That's why that's the purpose of why
she was. She's trying to you know. I think he's
a good person for wanting to make sure that he
does as much as he can, But I think he
also needs to reevaluate the situation to see is this
(31:54):
all I can do? Because if this is all I
can offer and she's not getting better, then I do
have to remove myself help her find the appropriate doctor
or the appropriate situation. But he's getting depressed too, Yeah,
it's it's depressing helping someone a lot. Yeah, to help
him get over that, get over her. I feel guilty
(32:16):
about leaving her. Yeah. Yeah, he definitely obviously feels the
weight of them and he doesn't want her to hurt himself. Yeah,
I said, you know, how long have they? Then? I
think there's a time limit. How old? How long? Was
who the news? She has threatened to commit suicide several times,
(32:36):
and he's helped her seacout, medical attention and counseling, but
nothing is helping, and he doesn't want to abandon her.
See that right there? I think for me, in my opinion,
that's he's been above beyond a past. Definitely. Do you
think she's telling him I will commit suicide if you
don't X, Y and Z. Yeah, she's very welcome, been
(32:57):
there he said several times. Yes, that's committed. But my guy,
like that's committable, Like you can't be responsible for someone's
when she's being diagnosed, and and I and anyone out
there in ball the nation listening, it's worth to try
and help, clearly, but if you go months years, you
know what I'm saying, with this effort and they're still
(33:18):
doing that kind of stuff, like what can you possibly do?
And now he's saying he's getting depressed you're falling into
the rabbit hole. You're falling into this state of like
you know what I'm saying, where you might not be
cool and okay. And I think that's when you have
to be selfish in the relationship. You definitely want to
help your mate. But when you're well being becomes you
know what I'm saying, and you might not be okay.
(33:40):
It's spreads spreading you because you come first, but she's
spreading to him, and he could be spreading to whomever
else and his family. So he needs to get help
to move on from the situation. I think mental health
is a real thing, balling nation, and y'all have to
be mindful but also responsible and more importantly aware that
(34:02):
you know what I'm saying, of what the surroundings too,
because when you get locked into this, I mean, you
know how much toxicity brings. It brings other negative things
and people. When your bodily functions starts to be all
out of whack, it's not good skin, hair, everything. Now
it's time for a word for my sponsors, and now's
(34:24):
time for comment creeping all right, So this comment actually
spoke to my heart because I do this all the time.
I literally do this all the time. So Van Lathan,
hey man, he said, read sweet if you're black, and
watch lips to see which non black sing the IN
word when you're in a club or concert, like if
(34:48):
this a ridiculously fun game. I swear I do it
all the time. I'm at I'm at the club, I'm
at Sunday Branch of Traffic, I'm at a concert. I
will watch all the non blacks. And I don't do
exactly what he does, but he said, this is my life.
I make bets with myself on who will do it.
When someone skips the word, I give myself forty acres
(35:10):
when they say it, I give myself a mule. Right now.
I love that. Right now I have eighty acres and
one mule. Let's see how things go. And our favorite girl,
bad Girl, read Rihanna. She said, I feel attacked, and
Van responded, of course, we love you. I always feel
attacked when I see that happening. And it's certain promoters
you know out here in Atlanta that always have a
(35:32):
big group of others, you know, with them, And when
I'm around, I will watch the others and they're always
singing the N word. And I have actually addressed it
with one of the promoters, and he told me, Sue, chill,
it's okay, relax, they're cool, they don't mean no harm.
I've offended, now, this one ain't. This is his friend.
(35:54):
This is his friend that that I approached. I mean,
I I just I was highly offended. And I went
to you to tell you, hey, can you tell this
not black girl to stop saying that in word because
I'm gonna throw something at her if she says it again.
And then you tell me to chill. Black man told
me to chillip clip like, come on, sir, you know what.
(36:14):
I'm glad you brought that up. It's a problem. I'm
glad you brought that up because this is a bigger
topic and I think we should address it right now. Yes, please.
We always talking about as a people, as a coach,
as a race, We're always talking about the things that
other people do to offend us. But we are partly
(36:36):
responsible for the reason they say the things they say.
In this particular case, Susan is making a valid and
great point. She's talking to a promoter. Mind you never
mind you promoters right, it's really a few of them. Okay,
So there's a white girl or other in the section,
(36:57):
they're saying a lyric in a song that a black
man put in position put into song. So this is
what I think is the ultimate problem, and this is
where we as a society. If that bothers us that much,
why don't we put in the songs? Why we got
(37:18):
to censor ourselves for these folks? Why they can't respect that?
That's not your word to say. We we always are
the ones that are modifying this, And do we we
always censor ourselves for them? Is it censoring yourself? We censor,
we we fold, we mold, we we change, We always
do stuff to make them comfortable. Hey, stop stop saying
(37:39):
the N word. It's not for you to say stop
by their own ship. So use the word nigger as
much as you want, I'm saying us. I mean, yeah, yeah,
express yourself, yes, expressional people. You don't say the word
(38:00):
as much as I used to older, as I got in,
I don't say it as much as I I'm glad
you said that different words now because I disagree. I
think for us, the reason we do things it's psychological
as well, like we from past history, from how we
were treated, and so for us to double down on
(38:22):
the negative meaning of something that does hurt us. It
really does hurt us. If we continue to perpetuate in
the older I get to feraris point the more I
don't even want to be on the same never mind
you it slips, I say it. You know what I'm saying,
even you know, like cursing, Like I don't want to
curse all the time, but sometimes mother, you know, and
it so so I don't know what I want to
(38:43):
I want to be more responsible in my offering as
a mature adult, trying to build a legacy for my family,
and not the saying anything you want to say. It's
not your right, it is totally your right. But I'm saying,
if we are the gatekeepers of our culture, of our offerings,
why not I will say that why? I mean, people
(39:09):
say for us, A lot of people aren't that mature.
And you know, you know, it's a young game in
the music industry, like a lot of black people, you know,
come up young and they want to express yourself in
But we talked about pills and getting high. I mean,
but we are we are the we're probably probably the
worst to ourselves. Of course that's been that way. But
(39:31):
you know what that's gonna keep me in that way
his moneys in the folds. It can't. Okay, So you're
saying if you and no one wrapped about I'm sorry
if no one said lean pills. We uh talked about
massagey when it comes to women, or the massagies when
it comes to women, talking about sex taking whatever whatever
(39:52):
it is you think that sales, right, But this is
my thing. We're so creative, we could come up with
whatever we could. But but that's not It's just like
you blue Face arguing with the Meek Mills artists about
having a chain. We can't take him serious. He has
a Benjamin first, but that's a part of what's selling.
(40:14):
But if we created, do you not hear what I'm saying? Okay,
tell me. That's like in the radio world, it's not
very easy getting your song out there, right. Isn't there
someone who chooses, Okay, this song is gonna work. This
is gonna because if that was the case, conscious rappers
will be But I'm saying, I'm saying, before it even
(40:36):
gets to that, there's somebody that approved certain songs and says, Okay,
this is what we're gonna put out and typically it's
gonna be the others that are in the said, does
not do that anymore. Radio plays the worst ship on
the planet. That's what I'm saying. But to her point though,
she's asking, like, doesn't it go through a gate keeper? No,
(40:56):
it goes to him and it goes on there, or
it goes to the music director. What's am I right? Run? Yeah.
The thing that we do though, we try to make
sure we gauge what's trending, so research, you know, though
streaming really but look what you're talking about. It's selling,
(41:19):
That's what I'm saying. The clubs, it's streaming high. You
need at it. But that's what I'm saying. Radio works
through research. Their research was hot, and then they play it. Man, y'all,
I can't wait for I can't wait for y'all to
get my get to this level of life. No, I agree, No,
I really can't because I'm gonna tell you, y'all really
(41:40):
have the power. And the problem is that we become
part of the problem when we continue to double down.
Our music is so fucking negative. Like even if you
if you went back to n w A, that's a
great example in w A said the police. I mean.
(42:03):
But they also said, you know, brother got it bad
because Bryant like coming from underground, young brother got back like.
They said things that were super conscious in their prospective hoods.
They glorified their neighborhoods. But even thinking back then, they
talk about gang ship. This is a gang and you
know what I'm saying, this is the game the right, left, right,
(42:27):
they say bloods of crips. Okay, but this is my point,
this is Snoop is a genius. I love him. I'm
thankful for his contribution. I was a part of all
of that. I'm saying as a mature and thoughtful adult
looking at it at the landscape, you're a two year old.
You do you want her to really do what these
(42:48):
girls are doing. I don't, but I'm aware that it's
possibly she's going to be influenced. I'm want to make
sure I'm there as much as possible. The music at
would you not try to implement things that are not
a little bit more? I don't know. The thing is
I mean control his show, you know, but the overall
(43:10):
say so is the program director and they are the
ones who put the music on. So it's like, even
if Rory don't want to play certain music. If it's
on the list, it's getting played. Okay, great, So y'are
just gonna continue with the strip of culture and pill
popping and they are. I agree with you. I don't
really curse that much. I don't any that's just but
(43:31):
and I agree with you. But as long as money
is in the fold, I feel like it's still gonna
keep happening. We got changing narrative, bro. I'm just saying,
like you go back to they all had a real
message and we're screaming for help and trying to better
the situation. This generation just wants to get up and
get high or fuck and count money. That is not
(43:51):
real life. That is not real life, and it's disgusting.
And then we wonder why the white girls, who like
the black boys or the Persians or whatever else is
in this who he's talking about the other they taking,
I mean, they they adopting culture and and saying nickel,
they only doing what they see two, they're only doing
(44:12):
what they see us do. More importantly, it's a young
man's game. It's a young person's game, and you know
it's easy to influence the young people. So of course
they're gonna like that. And there's the they're the ones that's,
you know, creating the research in which what we play.
All right, we're gonna agree to disagree right now and
table this conversation and now time fucking fucious. Say everyone
(44:40):
knows that my wife is the body's light in my life.
Um And she posted this by an unknown on her
Instagram account. Yeah you que But do you like nature stars,
holistic health, evolution, universe peace, compassion in raising consciousness, falling nation?
(45:02):
This thoughts ship has to come doing it. I'm gonna
need you to go out there and read a book
and try to find the alternative. We love him, God, blesh.
The dream was real. It's the bottom of that show.
How hard mind you? We don't hit Nick, you know
what I'm talking about. We got father people. They heard
you in Florida, Roery, they heard you in cal oh Man.
(45:26):
We're out here. How you doing? Because the dream it's
real
